Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 115 Solar Eclipse (Part [-])
After finishing the meal and returning to Rujingyuan, Jiang Changning pulled King Jin and asked, "Is there a solar eclipse?"

King Jin saw that there was no fear in her eyes, but with a trace of excitement, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What's so scary, I still want to see it." Jiang Changning smiled.

King Jin smiled, full of joy, "Stupid and bold, others say that seeing a solar eclipse will encounter bad things, why aren't you afraid?"

"It is written in miscellaneous books that a solar eclipse is an ordinary astronomical phenomenon, and there is nothing ominous about it."

"This miscellaneous book is worth reading." King Jin smiled.

"The books are piled up in the wing room of the west courtyard. If you want to read them, go find them yourself." Jiang Changning knew that he didn't have the free time to look for books, so he said this deliberately, as if he really had the book.

King Jin didn't really want to read that book, he just thought it was pretty good, and said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow, you ask someone to prepare a big pot of clear oil. When I come back, we can read it together."

"Mother and concubine will be unhappy." Jiang Changning said.

"You don't need to tell her such a small matter, lest she worry."

Jiang Changning smiled and nodded, "Understood."

There is an inexplicable excitement of doing bad things together and hiding it from adults.

On the day of the solar eclipse, Jiang Changning asked Mrs. Cui to prepare a large copper basin of clear oil and put it in the middle of the yard. Without goggles, he could only use this simple method to watch the solar eclipse.

After a while, King Jin came back.

Jiang Changning, who was sitting on a chair in front of the copper basin, waved to him, "Come here."

King Jin went over, squeezed her into a big chair, and hugged her into his arms.

"How much longer?" Jiang Changning asked.

"If Qin Tianjian's calculation is correct, there will be about a quarter of an hour." King Jin held her hand, a little cold, "Bring a cloak here."

Jiang Changning looked up at the sky, there were clouds in the sky, the clouds moved slowly, covering the sun from time to time, the sunlight was not too dazzling.

As she was watching, her eyes suddenly darkened.

King Jin blindfolded her, "Don't look directly, it will hurt your eyes. Lower your head and look at the oil basin."

After speaking, he let go of his hand.

Xiulan sent a cloak, King Jin put it on himself, and then pulled the cloak to wrap Jiang Changning in it.

Jiang Changning smiled, and obediently nestled in King Jin's arms,
The wind became stronger, the sky became darker, the clouds dispersed, and the sun was white, not the usual yellow.

Jiang Changning couldn't help it, and wanted to look up to the sky again, but was held down by King Jin, "Good boy, don't be naughty."

In the oil basin, a black shadow began to block the sun.

"Ah, the Tengu is here." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"There is no sky dog, this is the moon." King Jin explained.

Of course Jiang Changning knew it was the moon, so she deliberately said it was a Tengu.

Seeing that the moon slowly covered the sun, without a ray of light, it became dark, like night.

"Without the sun, it's really cold." Jiang Changning said.

King Jin hugged her even tighter, "The sun will come out soon."

"I didn't offer peppers to sing together, but I met the solar eclipse book first. The spring is dark, and the Lindou thing is true." Jiang Changning said with his face up.

"It's not like a hook, but the new one is like the beginning of the month. When you go to Fang Qidan, you will be honored when you die." King Jin leaned over and pecked her lightly on the lips.

After a while, the moon slowly moved away, and the sun gradually appeared again, shining brightly, and the earth saw light again.

For example, the Jingyuan was controlled like an iron bucket by Xiulan and the others, and the couple watched a solar eclipse, and no one knew about it.

A study room in Duke Wei's mansion was burned, and there were no casualties, but on the day of the solar eclipse, the mansion caught fire for no reason. This is bad luck.

So Mrs. Wei Guogong took the female family members of the mansion and went to the Qingxu Temple in the city to hold a peace offering.

It's just that it's useless to hold the peace ceremony. In the afternoon, on the way back to the mansion, a cat suddenly appeared from nowhere.

The cat jumped on the cart and jumped on the coachman.

The coachman panicked and pulled the reins hard, the horse neighed and its front hooves were raised high.

With a "boom", the second carriage, which was the carriage of Mrs. Wei Guogong's son, overturned on its side.

"Ma'am!" the followers exclaimed.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Mrs. Wei Guogong, who was sitting in the first carriage, was also hit by the second carriage because of the sudden stop of the carriage. She hit her head hard on the wall of the carriage, and a big lump swelled up. .

Just when the people in Wei Guogong's mansion were in a mess, the man in the alley next to him who was observing all this showed a strange smile, turned around, and left quietly from the other end of the alley.

Mrs. Wei Guogong Shizi was rescued and was injured more seriously than her mother-in-law. Not only was her head broken, but her left arm was also broken and her right foot was sprained.

It is better not to fight this peace festival.

The cat that caused trouble ran away without knowing where to go, and there was no one to settle the score. Wei Guogong's mansion could only admit that it was unlucky.

When the news reached Prince Jin's Mansion, Jiang Changning was tasting cookies made by Mrs. Cui.

Cookies, crispy and crispy, with an excellent taste.

King Jin smelled a sweet fragrance when he entered the courtyard, and asked with a smile, "What delicious food are you doing?"

"Cookies are available in sweet and salty flavors. Try them and see which one you like?" Jiang Changning still held half a cookie in his hand.

King Jin leaned over and bit off the half of the biscuit in her hand, "Not bad, it's crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy."

"There are so many on the table, if you want to grab my one." Jiang Changning picked out a biscuit and handed it to him, "Try the salty ones."

King Jin took the biscuit, bit half of it, and handed the other half to Jiang Changning's mouth, "I just ate half of it from you, now I will pay you back half."

Jiang Changning gave him a coquettish look, "I didn't ask you to pay it back."

Having said that, she still ate the half.

"Sweet tastes better than salty, so make more sweet." King Jin said seriously.

"Understood." Jiang Changning had already discovered that King Jin's taste was on the sweet side.

"And that's all?"

"Mufei and Kang Ren sent a plate of each of the two flavors."

"If you eat this piece, don't eat it, you won't be able to eat dinner in a while."

After Jiang Changning finished eating the biscuit in his hand, he ordered the maid to take out the rest to share.

After a few days, it was March [-]rd, the Shangsi Festival.

With filial piety, although you can't go out as guests, you can still go out in the countryside.

In the early morning, with the concubine and Princess Kangren, they drove to Hongluo Lake outside the city in a light car.

Hongluo Lake is near Hongluo Temple, with beautiful scenery and shady trees.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, the most important reason for coming here is that there are people here who "send their children".

The most important custom activity of the Shangsi Festival is to worship the god of marriage and reproduction, Gaoxuan.

According to the "Book of Rites", it is said that when the Gaoxin family came out, the eggs of the black bird were left behind, and the concubine Jian swallowed them and gave birth to a deed.

The queen king set up his shrine with the matchmaker Jiaxiang, and changed the matchmaker's words, which is also a god.

"Brother Yu, daughter-in-law, come quickly and choose a gourd." The concubine greeted.

Behind the concubine is an old woman in a half-worn red gown.

Her hair is already gray, but there is a small red flower pinned to her temple, and a basket covered with a red cloth is on her arm. She is the mother-in-law by the Hongluo Lake.

Sacrificing to Gaozhen and setting up a temple for Gaozhen is to ask for a son.
