Chapter 415 Excuses
Fang Jinyan said: "In order to prevent me from being sent away by the madam so early, I deliberately said in front of the old madam that I defeated the master, so I found a master on the door connecting the back house and the front yard.
Drawing a talisman, the old lady loves her son so much that she will not say no. Coincidentally, Master Zhiyuan came with his apprentice that night. When Master Zhiyuan was about to leave, the old lady insisted on sending her off alone. At that time, I
I thought it was strange that it took a long time for her to come back. When she came back, her expression was very unnatural, and she didn't have anything nice to say when she looked at the eldest lady. Finally, when the old lady left, she said something, and everyone present at the time was
I was confused and I didn’t understand it, but after the second lady came over to tell me about it today, I thought about it carefully and finally I figured it out.”
Yun Duo said: "Then what did the old lady say?"
"In the future, don't always say that Xiaoyan is an unlucky person without my permission. Do you all understand?" Fang Jinyan repeated what the old lady said that day.
When Yun Duo heard this, she was a little surprised and said, "So, she seems to really know."
Fang Jinyan smiled and said: "At least she knows that I am not restraining her son. As for why Dong Yuexi sent me out of the Fang family, she thinks it is just jealousy between two women. For the sake of the peace of this family, and I
Once she comes back, she will naturally not cause trouble for Dong Yuexi again."
"Then let's forget it?" Yun Duo was so angry that he twisted the silk handkerchiefs in his hands together as if they were about to be torn into pieces.
Fang Jinyan smiled and said, "No, I'll do the same to you in return! She will do the first grade and I will do the fifteenth."
"Xiaoyan, what do you mean..."
Fang Jinyan sneered: "Didn't she, Dong Yuexi, want to marry the daughter of the Fang family to the Wang family? I made it happen for her."
Yun Duo was stunned and said: "You said before that the Wang family was your benefactor, how could you marry that broken shoe Fang Shuyu to the Wang family? No!"
Fang Jinyan smiled and said: "Of course it can't be Fang Shuyu. The Wang family is the prince-consort's house after all. The Wang family's son will naturally find a daughter to marry, not a concubine."
Only then did Yun Duo suddenly realize, and whispered: "Then Dong Yuexi is not a vegetarian, how could he agree to it?"
Fang Jinyan looked at Yun Duo: "Methods are thought up by people. Isn't it coming soon to the day of choosing a bride in the Prince Consort's Mansion? Everyone has to go on that day. Not only Fang Shuyu is going, but Fang Shuli is going. I want to go too.
Let’s go. We’ll see when the time comes!”
According to the decree of the imperial court, the ladies of each family should go to Xiangguo Temple every day to pray for the second son of the Wang family for the first ten days before choosing a bride. In order to prevent some ladies from being unwilling to go, a special calling place was set up at the entrance of Xiangguo Temple.
, in fact, it means to order and sign in every day. There are so many waiting ladies in the capital that they cannot be accompanied by their mothers and maids one by one, so all the mothers and maids are waiting at the foot of the mountain. The ladies go into the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings and then go down the mountain naturally.
, and then leave again.
Everyone didn't know why the palace suddenly came up with such an idea, but it was just to find a girl to be the wife of the Wang family, and it led to such a scene, but no one dared to say anything. They only knew that it was the order of Empress Dowager Huarui.
How dare you say no? Later, some people speculated that the palace had taken the opportunity to find a candidate in the past few days. No one wanted to let the Wang family choose to celebrate the wedding. Naturally, they ordered their daughters not to apply makeup or powder, and not to wear any makeup.
Show off your flowers and try not to draw attention to yourself.
But Fang Shuli thought differently. Anyway, her mother had asked Fang Jinyan to say hello to the Leng family. She would definitely not be selected into the Wang family to celebrate, what if the royal relative fell in love with her?
This is not a good thing, so every time she goes out, Fang Shuli not only does not wear makeup or clothes, but also dresses up. She wears gold and silver and wants to hang all the best things from the Fang family on her body to attract attention.
Fang Jinyan naturally wanted to go, but she only took Ziyuan with her, and then deliberately invited Li Changzai to accompany her. Li Changzai was naturally very happy, and agreed that when Fang Jinyan was well, he would take her around to play, although it was not to go horse riding in the countryside.
, but he would be happy to follow such a beautiful wife no matter where he goes.
On this day, the carriages of Fang Jinyan and Li Changzai left the city relatively late. Because there were carriages going to Xiangguo Temple every day, the road suddenly became very lively. There were also many people buying flowers and wild fruits. There were already many carriages.
Coupled with these people shopping among the crowd, the carriage moved even slower.
"Jinyan, look, the begonias in the little girl's flower basket are blooming just right. Let me buy some for you." Li Changzai opened the curtain and looked outside and said.
Fang Jinyan also opened the car curtain at the same time, revealing a pair of eyes to look outside, and then suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and said: "Why are so many people getting off the car?"
Li Changzai retracted his head and said, "Maybe the carriage is moving too slowly. It's almost here anyway, so some ladies with sore feet and numb legs can't bear it and just get off and leave."
Fang Jinyan said: "Since that's the case, let's go for a walk. If you don't talk about it, I feel my legs are sore."
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" After hearing this, Li Changzai asked the driver to stop the car, jumped out of the car first, and then helped Fang Jinyan out of the car.
"Yo! Who do I think it is? It turns out to be the fourth young lady of the Fang family!"
When Fang Jinyan heard the voice, she calmly showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth, then hid it, turned around, as if she was very surprised, first put down the tulle on her head, then walked to the side of the speaker, bowed and saluted sweetly
She called out sweetly: "Sister!"
Originally, this road was filled with women like Fang Jinyan without makeup and clothes, and they had not yet left the court, so most of the girls covered their heads with tulle. However, Fang Shuli didn't think about anyone to hide from.
Naturally, she stood out among the crowd. She was quite pretty to begin with, and with her deliberate dressing, she looked much brighter.
Li Changzai heard Fang Jinyan calling for someone and hurried forward. When he saw Fang Shuli, he couldn't help but be startled. He thought to himself that there are no beauties in the Fang family. Fang Jinyan was already beautiful. Although the woman in front of him was not as stunning as Fang Jinyan,
But she can still be regarded as a big beauty. After thinking about it, she stepped forward and bowed slightly to salute, saying: "Jin Yan, I wonder who this is...?"
Fang Jinyan saw it and smiled calmly and said: "This is my sister Fang Shuli. Eldest sister, this is Mr. Li, the right admonishment doctor!"
Fang Shuli didn't expect that a right-hand admonishment doctor would be so young, and he was dressed with nobility. When his heart moved, he showed a smile, gave him a courtesy, his face showed shyness, and called out softly: "Shu Li
I have never met Mr. Li."
Fang Jinyan said: "Now that we have met eldest sister, why don't we go together? What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Changzai hurriedly said: "Of course it's good." After saying that, he felt that he was a little obvious again. He smiled, and Fang Jinyan pretended not to see it. She held Fang Shuli's arm affectionately and said, "Sister, you won't care, right?"
Fang Shuli thought to herself that this adult seemed to know Fang Jinyan very well. Thinking about it, she felt resentful in her heart. She thought that she was just a little girl who hadn't grown up yet, but she was recruiting people wherever she went. Another thought
, look at Fang Jinyan dressed in plain clothes, without even a hairpin on her head, just a magnolia flower carved from Hetian jade inserted in her hair, she is really shabby, and then look at Li Changzai looking at her secretly, she feels sad in her heart
Laughing, it’s not because Fang Shuli is not here. If I were here, where would it be your turn to be Fang Jinyan? Thinking of this, she said softly: "Everything is entirely up to my sister!"
Huh! Another young lady from the Fang family who can’t bear loneliness. I wonder what will happen if Dong Yuexi finds out?
Thinking of this, Fang Jinyan happily took Fang Shuli in her arms and headed towards the direction of Xiangguo Temple.
Because Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple, there are not many pilgrims offering incense on weekdays, and ordinary pilgrims are not even allowed to enter. These days are probably the busiest times in Xiangguo Temple. All the dignitaries in the capital suddenly
All the rich and distinguished ladies are gathered here, with fluttering clothes and fragrant fragrance. Although most of the clothes are of high quality, they all belong to wealthy families after all, and they are just plainer in color. The texture of the clothes and the hairpins are so impressive.
At first glance, they all look excellent.
Fang Jinyan held Fang Shuli's hand, and Li Changzai followed him half a step away. When they were about a hundred meters away from Xiangguo Temple, the bustling crowd in front of them slowed down their pace.
"Sister, you see that we won't be able to come forward for a while. Why don't you find a pergola to sit and drink tea?" Fang Jinyan pointed to the pergolas set up everywhere on the roadside. There are many people sitting there drinking tea and cooling off, waiting.
Let’s wait until there are fewer people in front of us.
Fang Shuli looked at it. Although she was very unhappy, she and the carriage could no longer follow one kilometer ago. In such a fierce sun, if she didn't find a place to enjoy the cool weather, I'm afraid the makeup on her face would soon disappear.
She was dripping with sweat. Wouldn't that be ugly? So Fang Shuli nodded and followed Fang Jinyan and Li Changzai to a pergola. Li Changzai asked his servants to find a relatively clean table for them to wipe.
Finally, Fang Shuli and Fang Jinyan were asked to sit down.
Fang Jinyan looked around and found that most of these ladies were accompanied by their mothers. Some brought two, and some exaggeratedly brought three or four, and they also brought fruits and food. Fang Jinyan sneered in her heart, it seemed that it was really
These pretty ladies have suffered. In fact, everyone just gave some tea money to the person who built the pergola. In fact, they didn't drink the tea at all.
At this time, the shopkeeper came forward with a smile, bowed slightly, and asked in awe: "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, are you just resting here or do you want something to drink?"
Li Changzai glanced at Fang Jinyan, then looked at Fang Shuli. Fang Shuli put the scented handkerchief in front of her nose, frowned slightly, but with a charming smile on her lips, she said softly: "I asked someone to bring some snacks.
