Chapter 8 Disappointment
What Chang Ning wanted was unsuccessful for Wang Xi was miserable.
Wang Xi's voice was crisp and gentle. Her father often praised her for her voice like a "lag". When she was young, in order to let her say a few more words, her father teased her a lot. She also relied on her good voice and often read Buddhist scriptures to her grandfather, grandmother, even grandmother, and grandmother, which was considered to be filial to her elders.
So when the Grandma asked her to read Buddhist scriptures, she went happily.
Who knows that the lady is different from her grandmothers.
After the grandma took her into the Buddhist temple, she asked Mama Shi to take her the Diamond Sutra, and then pointed a page casually to let her start reading. The grandma leaned against the big kang next to the window, closed her eyes and fiddled with the eighteen-child Buddhist beads in her hand. Until Wang Xi read more than twenty pages of the sutra, the grandma opened her eyes and said to her with a smile: "Okay, let's just read this today!"
I think when she was reading Buddhist scriptures to her grandmother in Shuzhong, there were a bunch of maids and women around her. Whenever she finished reading a passage, her grandmother would let her rest for a while with a heartache and heartache, and would feed her honey water in person, asking her if she was tired, and praised her for her good reading. She either rewarded her gold, silver and jewelry, or her antiques, and at the worst, she would have a snack. If she was reading Buddhist scriptures to other elders in the family, it would be even more amazing. In addition to the elders who would appreciate her good things, her grandfather and grandmother would also appreciate her again.
When I arrived at the Grandmaster, I only gave her a cup of tea, and it was the Grandmaster whom I liked.
The faint smell of tea made Wang Xi sigh secretly.
The grandma asked her to read Buddhist scriptures. Do she like her? Or punish her?
If there is such a good thing in the future, she will give it to Chang Ning.
Wang Xi looked up at the funnel that recorded the hours in the small Buddhist temple.
It was almost time for the Chen Dynasty. At this time, Mrs. Hou would come to discuss the family affairs with the wife, and she should be able to get out soon!
Wang Xi's mood finally got better, and she thought that she would come to greet the lady every morning and have dinner with her at night. When she was free, she had to find a way not to let the lady take her in the afternoon.
She has always been quick and has an idea when she thinks.
Wang Xi put down the teacup and smiled and said to the lady: "It's time for the Buddha's Bathing Festival. I'll copy you a few pages of scriptures to offer to the Bodhisattva!"
Anyway, Madam Tai doesn't recognize her handwriting, so she can ask Bai Zhu some to help.
The lady forgot about the Buddhist bathing festival. When she heard this, she suddenly felt that Wang Xi was not only lively and cute, but also could remember various festivals and arrange personal relationships properly. She was a housewife. Seeing Wang Xi's eyes softened a little: "Okay, I will do as you said."
Wang Xi smiled brightly with his eyes, and could already imagine the comfort of her lying on the chaise longue beside the bamboo curtain without having to go out.
The grandma told her about the lady of the Shi family: "Her boudoir name is the word 'zhu', one year older than you. Your cousin of the Shi family has six sons and only one daughter. She grew up with spoiledness. Although she is a little spoiled, her character is not bad. If she offends you, you will depend on the face of her grandmother. Don't bother with her. Let me tell me, I will punish her."
Wang Xi didn't agree with it.
Is the lady afraid that they will fight?
But who is not a pretty girl?
I just don’t know how this Miss Shi is so spoiled. Before anyone could come, Chang Ning was so excited as if he had a helper. The lady started to warn her in advance?
Wang Xi was eager to try and wanted to meet this Miss Shi.
She said, "When will Miss Shi return to the capital? Do we want to go to Xiaowai to greet her? What do she like? I can have someone prepare a meeting gift for her at that time."
Seeing her unhappy look, the grandma felt that Wang Xi was broad-minded and like her second daughter. She was even happier when she saw Wang Xi and said, "It's said that she has already set off. She will definitely arrive before the Dragon Boat Festival. As for what kind of gift to send, this child is just like you. She is very sensible. She will like whatever you send."
Is it really the same as her?
She is a very revengeful person.
When she was a child, once, her fourth aunt returned to her parents' home and brought heavy gifts to her second brother and her, but she only brought a set of four treasures for her eldest brother. She went to her grandfather and grandmother to complain. The fourth aunt was scolded for this and never dared to neglect her eldest brother again. Two years ago, her fourth aunt came to their house to borrow money in business, and she brought this matter out and told her again, which made her fourth uncle unable to borrow money from their family and lost a lot of business.
If Miss Shi was like her, wouldn’t she also be a vengeful person?
Wang Xi curled his lips in his heart, and Mrs. Hou came over.
Seeing her in the Buddhist temple, I wanted to speak but stopped.
Wang Xi stood up and said goodbye, pouted and returned to Qingxue Garden.
Hong Si was holding her Qianli Jing looking forward to her return.
When he saw her, he trotted over, pulled her to the backyard and ran: "Hurry, hurry, that person is dancing sword again. He appeared not long after the lady left. Now he can still see the tail."
Wang Xi was excited when he heard this, and trotted along the way to the warm pavilion on the rockery with Hongcuo.
Unfortunately, she was still one step late.
Only fallen leaves were left in the yard next door.
"How could this happen?!" Hong Chu stamped her feet in a hurry.
But Wang Xi knew that he was late to come back.
She asked Hongchou: "When did that person appear? How long did the sword dance roughly?"
Hongcuo replied carefully: "There was the one that came out from Mao, and it took about an hour to dance."
"After there is a normal person." Wang Xi was very disappointed and couldn't help complaining, "Who would want to get up when she is ugly? Look at the sword dancing next door, it only starts at Mao. However, he got up so late, so he definitely doesn't have to go to the morning court. I wonder if he can find a way to find out who this person is?"
She sent someone to inquire about the Princess's Mansion. If someone finds out, they won't be silenced, right?
Wang Xi thought about the feasibility of this matter.
The red silk in Pianhuang was still echoing Wang Xi: "The Princess's Mansion cannot stop buying vegetables and not eating, right? We can ask who is the family in Dongshi delivering vegetables to the Princess' Mansion. When someone is sent to disguise themselves in, they will definitely ask who the person is."
Seeing that Wang Xi was very moved, Madam Wang wanted to persuade Wang Xi for a few words, but was grabbed by ginkgo.
She whispered to Mama Wang, "You go with the eldest lady! The eldest lady was wronged today. She helped the Grandma read the Buddhist scriptures for a long time, but she didn't even drink a cup of honey water." She said this and blamed herself, "It was also me who was careless. I thought that it was the Grandma's Buddhist temple, and there was some lack of vision in the other people's houses. There should be no confused person who served the Grandma around me, so I didn't follow me. Who knows..."
"It's not your fault." Madam Wang could hold a mosquito between her eyebrows and said, "What's the eldest lady's plan? I'll ask clearly now. I can't drag it like this anymore. But it's not good to really send someone to the eldest princess's mansion to inquire about these things. The shopkeeper's side asked Wang Xi to go there again. If the eldest lady really sent someone to inquire about the eldest princess's mansion, let him drag it first."
Ginkgo whispered "Yes". Hongchou and Wang Xi were already discussing how to greet the lady tomorrow: "Go and come back early, she will keep me again. No matter what it is, I will push Chang Ning out, and I will not see the beginning or the end. However, this is not a long-term solution after all, and I still have to think of a way to save good morning every few days."
Hongchou nodded repeatedly and said, "I don't know when the shopkeeper can find us a thousand-mile mirror like the old man. I always feel that I can't see this clearly."
"That's it!" Wang Xi and Hong Chu found a common topic and said, "Does there be people serving around that person? How many people are there? Do they live nearby or have they only chosen the bamboo forest for morning exercise?"
"I don't know!" Hong Shu said in a loss, "He came out of the bamboo forest and he didn't see anyone serving him."
Another day of nothing.
Wang Xi sighed and ordered Hongchou: "Stay staring at him to see if he can dance his sword at other times."
Hongcuo asked her to tell her: "Can I go to Liuyin Garden to stare? It's close to the eldest princess's mansion."
"Go!" Wang Xi felt that the new Qianlijing might be as far away as Madam Wang said. If you want to know the man's movement, you still have to think of other ways.
The red silk responded happily.
Madam Wang accompanied Wang Xi to change clothes. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the little maids giving her snacks, she asked about her plans: "The three new cooks are a trivial matter, but the kitchen may not be enough. If you are going to marry into the middle of the capital, why not buy a house nearby and come to the grandma every now and then, it would be better."
Wang Xi sat beside the mirror platform and held his chin for a while and thought, "It's good to buy a house. But I won't marry to the middle of the capital. Where can I buy this house? If there is no one living there, it's easy to rent it, and if I don't want it, it's not too late for the shopkeeper to inquire about it before making a decision."
This is the first time that Wang Xi has made it clear that she will not stay in Beijing.
Madam Wang and others were all relieved after hearing this. Madam Wang laughed even more and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will do all these and I will definitely leave cleanly."
Do not offend the Marquis' Mansion.
Wang Xi nodded casually.
In the afternoon, I asked Atractylodes to help her copy Buddhist scriptures: "Use the style of the Pavilion, if the wife of the Grandma asked me to copy things for her one day, so as not to reveal the trap."
Atractylodes smiled with pursed lips.
Wang Xi sat beside her and fucked her big orange cat, Xiangye, to play.
Xiangye was nestled in her arms and made a "gurugu" sound comfortable.
The little maid Anan poked her head outside the curtain.
Wang Xi smiled and waved to her: "What's wrong?"
Anan ran in with a smile and whispered, "Miss, there's a quarrel in Xingyuan."
Three bedrooms live in Xingyuan.
Wang Xi paused his hands on his cat.
Xiangye opened her eyes and made a dissatisfied "cuckoo" sound.
Wang Xi hurriedly helped Xiangye rub it a few more times.
Xiangye closed her eyes again with satisfaction.
Anan smiled and said, "Isn't it enough for Mr. Chang to live in the yard? The second wife went to find the third wife, and the third wife agreed to give up the southern house of Xingyuan. But this way, Mr. Chang had no place to live. The third wife discussed with Mrs. Hou whether she could let the fourth wife live in Chunyin Garden. But Mrs. Hou said that the grandma was going to let the fourth wife live in Chunyin Garden. She asked if she could let the fourth wife live in Liuyin Garden. Although it was a bit far from the main courtyard, it was not far from Chunyin Garden. When Ms. Shi lived in, she would have a companion.
