Chapter 21 The Buddha

Wang Xi did not hide it from Chang Ke, and said, "My mother hopes that the grandmother can preside over my wedding ceremony, so it is more decent to say it out. So I plan to live in the wedding ceremony and see the situation before making plans. But now it seems that instead of relying on the grandmother or the Marquis to find a marriage for me, it is better to expect my grandmother or my uncle. They are all women who preside over the gifts at home."

There are hundreds of people in the family, but no one dares to reject what he said like the Grandma or the Hou.

Chang Ke was silent for a while.

She hadn't noticed it before, and after being with Wang Xi, she gradually realized that whether it was her grandmother or aunt who had been respected on her head, she was very procrastinating and weak in doing things.

Wang Xi looked at it and sighed, asking Chang Ke: "Can your mother decide on your marriage? If she can decide on it, I think you might as well look at each other by yourself and let your mother propose marriage."

It is obvious that the third wife can let her daughter be so ruthless.

Chang Ke's eyes widened.

I didn’t expect Wang Xi to be so brave!

She said nervously: "Don't do anything randomly. The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are serious. If you are so rash and careless, you will lose your reputation."

Wang Xi rolled his eyes at Chang Ke and said, "Who asked you to give me a private lesson? You won't find an opportunity to have a wife with the Grandma. Mrs. Hou went out for socializing a few more times, then inquire about the character of the princes of each mansion, see the other's appearance, and then convince your mother to try to propose marriage one by one?"

Chang Ke smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was taken a deviant by you - I see that you dare to lie on the wall and look at Chen Luo, thinking that you can even do something like catching a son-in-law under the list!"

It would be fine if she didn't mention Chen Luo, but when she mentioned Chen Luo and Wang Xi, she felt chest pain.

Not only did he come to be a guard for her, but he also found that she peeped at her and threatened her with a big knife. It was a pity that she spent so much energy to wait for his news in the past few days, and she also climbed the wall to watch him dance his sword. As a result, she had no benefits at all, and she might have exposed her identity. She was complained by Chen Luo in front of the elders at home. She was completely covered in her inner and outer face, and the time she had watched him was wasted.

She has never done anything so much.

Wang Xi was dejected and Chang Ke and they both lay on the car window with their own worries and looked at the hustle and bustle of the street.

At noon, they stopped in the woods next to a post road, and everyone had lunch in a grassy field and then continued on their way.

Although it means that genius is the Buddha Bathing Festival, the festive atmosphere can be seen everywhere.

On the road, they would occasionally meet pilgrims who went to the temple to attend the Dharma Assembly. The more they walked, the more people they were.

Wang Xi guessed that they all went to Yunju Temple.

In the evening, they arrived at Yunju Temple.

Wang Xi was already bumped by the carriage and horses like a blanched cabbage, wilted and was supported by Madam Wang. Until she lay on the bed in the guest room, she felt that the turbid air that was blocking her chest had dissipated a little. She turned around but smelled a pungent smell of agarwood that made her feel.

Ginkgo and a few of them went to order a purlin-flavored incense burner, and Wang Xi felt much better.

Madam Shi came over and wanted to invite Wang Xi to the Buddhist temple in front to use vegetarian food, and said, "The Grandma and Madam Hou of Xiangyang Hou's Mansion, several wives, grandmas, and ladies are there too. The Grandma said, let you recognize your face."

Recognizing faces is a basic skill that everyone in the Wang family must have.

If a man in the family wants to do business, if he cannot recognize who the other party is, how can he feel at home? How can he coax the money from other people's pockets into his own pocket? A woman wants to manage an inner house, but even the people cannot recognize him clearly. How can she deal with the favors of the family? How can she deal with the conflicts between the various houses in the clan? How can she become a man's inner leader?

But Wang Xi is too tired, who does she want to go to socialize?

"Just say I'm uncomfortable!" Wang Xi said politely, but implicitly warned, "I thought I could arrive at the hour of You today. I could take a break in the guest room for half an hour before I greeted the grandmother of the Marquis of Xiangyang. But I can't even get up now. If I go, I will only be embarrassed in front of the people of the Marquis of Xiangyang. It's better not to go."

I arrived so late, isn’t it because I didn’t arrange my travel in advance?

Madam Shi didn't dare to say anything, so she blushed and went back to reply.

Chang Ke was extremely envious.

Mrs. Hou dared to arrange for her and Wang Xi to take a carriage, but she did not dare to make a fuss and arranged for her to stay in a guest room with Wang Xi.

What a pity!

She sat upright, her left ear went in and out of her right ear. Listening to Chang Ning and the ladies of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, she not only lost the nervousness of the past, but also felt that Chang Ning was quite interesting. Every time she met the ladies of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, she looked like a hedgehog, and she insisted on saying that she couldn't win.

Chang Ning felt that Chang Yan and Chang Ke were not helping her, and when she returned to the room, she shouted: "If Shi Zhu were here, she would definitely not be like this."

Chang Ke was still as low-key and silent as before in front of his two cousins. However, Chang Yan frowned and advised Chang Ning: "Second sister, everyone is old, so it would be not suitable for this. If the second sister doesn't like the ladies of the Xiangyang Marquis' Mansion, just stop interacting with them. Why bother to make the needle-to-headed every time!"

Chang Ning was very unhappy and provoked Wang Xi's thorn again: "She didn't show up today, but her grandmother said that she was very beautiful, generous, generous, and arrogant, and had good words on her like she was worthless. I saw that the second wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang kept listening with her ears! Wang Xi might have been intentionally absent, just to attract the attention of the Marquis of Xiangyang."

Chang Yan's face changed drastically, and her smile seemed very reluctant.

Before going to bed, Chang Ke couldn't help but run to Wang Xi's place and wanted to sleep with Wang Xi.

Wang Xi is so old that he has not slept with other people except for his grandmother and mother. Naturally, he is not allowed to do so.

Chang Ke said: "I want to whisper to you."

Wang Xi asked someone to move a concubine's couch and put it beside his bed, then lit a scent of moxa and said, "What's the matter, do you tell me?"

When he went out this time, Chang Ke had seen Wang Xi’s particularity.

At noon, they ate the dry food prepared yesterday. Wang Xike poured it, and the hot water was stewed on the small red mud stove. They ate the dishes made by the chef in her room who got up early this morning.

She and Wang Xi were in a carriage, and not only had a hot meal, but also had a cup of hot tea.

Chang Ke didn't care about her, and happily told her about dinner: "... The third sister must have taken a fancy to the fourth son of the Marquis of Xiangyang. Although he is not as famous as the Chen brothers, he is also a handsome man with a gentle temperament and a comfortable look. Moreover, his sister is the prince's wife of the Marquis of Qingyun. Like Chen Luo, he entered Tengxiang Guard at the age of 16. But she didn't think about it. The second wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang has always been above the top, and their family has always looked down on our family. How could they marry our family?"

Wang Xi was surprised.

She thought Chang Yan was as motionless as water and was ready to decide on her marriage by the elders in her family.

Wang Xi immediately became interested and said, "Is the fourth young master of the Marquis of Xiangyang? Is he really handsome? But marriage matters sometimes depend on fate. If you don't try it, you will definitely not have fate. If you fail to try it, you can give up completely. I think there is nothing wrong with your third sister like this, it depends on how she fights for herself."

Chang Ke laughed and talked about the second wife of Xiangyang Hou Mansion's attention to her.

Wang Xi waved his hand disrespectfully and said, "She won't be interested in me. Even if she is interested in me, she probably didn't put me among her daughter-in-law's candidates."

This also made her feel wary and felt that it was necessary to talk to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou as soon as possible.

Too much emphasis on her family's wealth in marriage, if she gets into trouble if she thinks that she is a meritorious person or a family of officials wants to be greedy for her dowry and wants to take her as a concubine.

If the Tai Lady and Hou were strong people, she would definitely not have to worry.

I'm afraid even her mother didn't expect that the lady would be so weak, right?

She asked the chef to make bean paste buns, dried steamed salted egg yolk and fried rice cakes and other Cantonese breakfasts. She went to Mrs. Tai's place early the next morning and had a good heart-to-heart talk with her.

The grandma then realized that she was inappropriate in her words, but she couldn't admit it in front of Wang Xi. She stammered and settled the matter, but she never mentioned anything like that again, which was a story later.

After breakfast, Wang Xi met Mrs. Hou Tai of Xiangyang.

This lady is different from her grandmother. Mrs. Hou of Xiangyang is not tall, has fair skin, is thin, dressed very simply, but her eyes are shining. Although she smiles kindly, it makes people dare not underestimate it.

Their women seemed very respectful in front of the lady, and it can be seen that this respect was not pretending, but felt from the heart that she should be respected.

The ladies in the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion were also quite simple in their clothes, but their expressions were quiet and calm, and they were in moderation in their actions, which seemed much more rules than the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion.

No wonder the people in their mansion look down on the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion.

Wang Xiduo looked at the second wife in their mansion.

She is of medium figure, round and fat, and looks very kind. She stands behind Mrs. Hou in Xiangyang and doesn't speak much. If she hadn't known in advance, no one would have seen that her eldest daughter was the prince's wife. Her eldest son, Wu Ju, has entered the official position and is now an assistant to the Tongzhou Guard, one of the emperor's personal guards.

It seems to be higher than Chen Luo's official position.

They visited Yunju Temple for a day.

However, several ladies from the Marquis' Mansion in Xiangyang hugged each other, Chang Ning and Chang Yan, Wang Xi and Chang Ke, and Miss Pan followed Mrs. Hou from beginning to end. Although the wives and ladies of the Marquis' Mansion in Xiangyang did not talk much to the people in the Marquis' Mansion in Yongcheng, Wang Xi still remembered their appearance.

In the afternoon, while everyone was resting in the Buddhist temple, Master Jingxian, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, led a few little novice monks to greet the two ladies, and brought amulets that he had been chanting lights to the young ladies in the two palaces.

While talking, Wang Xi found Chang Yan on tiptoe and glanced outside the Buddhist temple.

She felt that there must be a young man following the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion.

I wonder if Princess Baoqing had the chance to meet the handsome men Chang Ke mentioned on her birthday.

Wang Xi thought boredly and asked Madam Wang to donate two hundred taels of silver to the temple.

In addition to the amulet, she also obtained a string of Buddhist beads of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of the eleven-sects of

Wang Xi doesn’t know how many such things are every year.

She doesn't like the things of monks in the temple very much, and if it is a temple, it will be easier to accept.

She rewarded the Buddhist beads to Wang Xi and asked him to deal with them at will.
