Chapter 39 Gossip
"I heard that you have a dog in your house, and you also clamored to raise it a few months ago, but after a few days of raising it, you kept the dog to death."
"This... the servant didn't pay attention?" Sun reluctantly exonerated him.
"The servants can't control him. He dragged his puppy around the garden and fed a bunch of miscellaneous things. He didn't listen to others' advice. When the dog died, he blamed others for not being optimistic. Seeing that he was really dissatisfied, I asked his father to beat him a few times before he settled down."
Sure enough, naughty children can only suppress by force.
The horse stone was finished, and it seemed that the whole person was refreshed. He stopped making trouble when he got on the carriage and slept for a while. After waking up, he began to clamor to go out to ride a horse, saying that riding a carriage was a "woman". Among the servants brought by Qi, there was a martial arts woman who knew how to ride a horse. Qi asked her to ride a horse with Shi Tou, so he no longer cared about him.
At this time, Zhuhua was leaning on Sun's leg with her eyes closed and she was relieved when she heard Ma Shitou leave the carriage. However, she did not get up, but continued to pretend to be asleep. Seeing this, Sun and Qi began to chat softly about some interesting stories in the city, which was nothing more than a woman and a concubine making a fuss again, and how different the family was. As she was talking, Sun talked about meeting the Princess Hengyang that day.
"That one~" Qi lowered his voice and said, "I heard that her husband's son-in-law has a room outside, and he is the cousin of the son-in-law's hometown. The eldest princess Hengyang went to make a fuss and was clamoring to divorce him."
"I heard about Heli. It turns out that it was because of this. Did Heli later?" Sun's news was not as good as Qi's. Although Qi's husband was not as high as Cheng Dashan, Qi was a likable person and could speak. He often went to and went to and from small gatherings of high-ranking officials' wives, and knew more about some things than Sun's.
"No. She went into the palace and cried to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother actually said that she would divorce her if she wanted to divorce her. Anyway, she had her own fief. After that, the eldest princess Hengyang would go home obediently and would not mention the issue of friendship."
"Why, the princess has a lot of fiefs?"
"The eldest princess Hengyang is the most luxurious food, clothing, housing and transportation. How can she rely on her fief? It is not subsidized by the princess. Although her husband's status is low, her family is really rich. The eldest princess is mainly remarried, so she is afraid she can't find such a rich person. I heard that the eldest princess was still clamoring to raise a couple when she got home. As a result, the princess said that if she didn't want to use his money after raising her, the eldest princess calmed down."
"It's true..." Sun sighed, not knowing what he could say.
"Our eldest princesses are not from the Queen Mother, and they don't have a deep affection with the emperor. However, the eldest princess in the palace heard it very much, and the emperor favored him."
"I heard that the emperor has several princes, but only one princess."
"It's the princess who is six years old this year. She is as old as Sanniang. She is very smart. I heard that she has read several stories."
"After all, he is the daughter of the saint, not something that ordinary people can compare with."
"Zhuhua is already considered well-behaved among her peers. It's not like my stone. It's one year older than Zhuhua, but it's far less obedient than Zhuhua."
The two talked about who was smart and who was beautiful. They talked about who was beautiful. It was not until the mountain where Guanyin Temple was located that they stopped. Sun pushed Zhuhua and woke her up. Zhuhua slowly opened her eyes and pretended to be confused. Sun took her off the carriage.
"Lazy Pig, my sister is a big lazy pig." The horse stone who had just gotten off the horse smiled around Zhuhua.
Zhuhua yawned, looked at him lightly, and did not talk to him. Ma Shitou felt boring and immediately calmed down.
The Guanyin Temple was built on the hillside, and the carriage could only reach the foot of the mountain, and the remaining road could only be walked by itself. Zhuhua was physically strong and easily followed the adults' footsteps. Ma Shitou suddenly rushed to the front. Later, he thought they were walking slowly, so he returned to them and urged them to get faster. After they walked a few steps, they ran up and stopped for a while and came down to urge them. After doing this for nearly ten times, Zhuhua was stunned by his physical strength.
When they arrived at Guanyin Temple, Ma Shitou finally felt at peace.
Guanyin Temple is a nun temple. The master in it is fifty years old. He has kind eyes and good-looking ears. His ears are very good. The thick earlobes are similar to those of Maitreya Buddha. Zhuhua looked at him curiously for a few more glances, then withdrew his eyes and started worshiping. After worshiping, the group drew the lottery again in front of the Buddha. Sun and Qi draw first. After the draw, they let the two little ones slowly draw in the hall, and they go to undo the lottery first.
Zhuhua probably would have mentioned the things that children should not hear about when they were untied, so she obediently drew lots. But after shaking for most of the day, no draw in the draw barrel fell out. The horse stone next to her made trouble again, and each time she shook it, a handful of them fell out. Seeing Zhuhua couldn't draw it out, she always laughed at her. When Sun and the others finished untied the draw, Zhuhua had not yet shaken it, so she simply stopped shaking it and drew a call from the draw barrel to the girl waiting next to her.
That sign was the eleventh sign. The nun gave it to the Empress Dowager. The master said, "The eleventh sign is, the sign is given:
It is very difficult to win, but the marriage is busy on the day of the marriage;
In the end, it will become a deer arrow, and noble people will guide noble people's hometown.
This hexagram is a sign of blessing in disguise, and everything is auspicious. If you are interested in making changes, you will be safe. If you ask for things, you will only be close to noble people. The lady will be blessed in disguise and will bring great blessings in the future. As long as you get closer to noble people, everything you ask for will go well."
"Thank you, Master." Zhuhua smiled. In fact, she felt very happy when she heard that she was signing.
After the Master said that, the girl who was with her had already handed her the signature for Zhuhua. Zhuhua took it and looked at it carefully and said that what the Master said was exactly the same. Did she recite all the signatures? Zhuhua thought to keep them carefully. When Ma Shitou saw it, he wanted it, so he took a sign to exchange it, but the one he got was Zhang Xiaxia's signature. Fortunately, he didn't understand, otherwise he would have to make trouble again.
After drawing the lottery, everyone walked around the mountain before going back to their house to rest. The vegetarian food on the mountain was simple, and even Zhuhua was mentally prepared at the beginning, he couldn't eat it. However, when Ma Shitou went to the next room and said that the food was unpalatable, she quickly finished the meal and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside. Ma Shitou went from being noisy to crying, and finally heard that she cried until she fell asleep. After the meal, the nun in the temple brought medicinal tea to Sun. Zhuhua secretly guessed that the reason why the Guanyin Temple was effective might not depend on its magical power but on medical skills.
After breakfast the next day, everyone went down the mountain. When he went down the mountain, the horse stones were quiet. His eyes were slightly swollen. He probably cried hard yesterday. However, he obviously didn't care. He refused to enter the carriage on the way back, but rode a horse with the servants outside. After walking halfway, he was finally tired and unwilling to go back to the carriage like this, so he had to walk outside for a while. In desperation, everyone had to get off the carriage with him.
