Daughter of Hou's Mansion

086 Meeting Princess Duanmin Again

It took an hour to pray to the Buddha, after which Qingluan and the others were led into a small courtyard by the little monk.

Seeing that there are already people living in the surrounding guest houses, it seems that there are quite a few people here.

Qingluan supported the old lady and said: "Master Yun Xiang gave a lecture this afternoon, but it attracted many people."

"Well, Luan'er is all about chance. If Master Yunxiang doesn't like you, don't be sad." Although the old lady wanted to ask Master Yunxiang to give Qingluan orders, but whether Master Yunxiang is willing or not? For sure, lest Qingluan would be sad because he didn't get the favor of Master Yun Xiang, he gave her a vaccination in advance.

As for whether to approve orders or not, Qingluan is extremely indifferent. She has died once. She has encountered so many things in her previous life and made her understand that some things should not belong to her. , Of course, some things are destined to be your own, and others can't take them away.

"Old lady, I heard from the little novice that Princess Duanmin is here too, should we go and pay a visit?" Li Shi stepped forward and said with a smile.

Mrs. Qin glanced at her, displeased with the flattery in her eyes, and said lightly, "Even if we want to go, we have to settle down." Before the group of them settled down in the courtyard, they hurriedly went to What does another yard look like?

Although Daxiang Temple is the most famous temple in Shangjing, Buddhism emphasizes hard work, so this guest house is naturally not comfortable.Fortunately, when going out, all the food and supplies will be prepared, and the hard kang bed is covered with thick mattresses, which is quite comfortable.

Mrs. Li didn't want to get bored in front of the old lady, so she left after saying a few words.Only Wei Xin'er and Wei Qingluan were left in the room with the old lady.

After drinking a cup of tea, Mammy Lian came in to report that it was Princess Duanmin.

Several people in the room couldn't help being startled.

Qingluan didn't have a good impression of the eldest princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. At the flower viewing banquet, she first gave her a shock for no reason, and then talked to her alone. Although she couldn't figure out what the eldest princess was in the gourd What kind of medicine is sold, but I feel vaguely that there must be nothing good.

But thinking about it this way, Princess Duanmin condescendingly came to the guest house where they lived, even the old lady, as a first-rank imperial order, would not be negligent, so she hurriedly ordered someone to call Mrs. Li and the others over, and the party People greeted them out.

At the gate of the courtyard, Princess Duanmin was wearing a golden jacket with rich and noble flowers, a long skirt made of fox fur, and a bright red Doraemon cloak that stood out against the color of the snow. Behind her were seven or eight attendants and A dozen or so guards, a dark group of people almost squeezed the small courtyard to the brim.

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, although she was extremely strange in her heart, she still stepped forward to salute calmly.

This time, Princess Duanmin didn't drive any more, she stepped forward to help the old lady and said with a smile: "The old lady is polite, it's my palace who came uninvited and disturbed the old lady's quietness."

"The princess is the one who broke my old body. We were supposed to visit the princess in the past. We wanted to go to see the princess after we settled down, but we didn't want the princess to come first. It really made the old woman feel ashamed." The old lady said Being polite, several other Wei family members stepped forward to greet the princess, and then followed into the main room.

The eldest princess only brought a maid and her confidant Jiang Nanny, and the guards with knives stood in the yard together, looking terrified.

Because of the honorable status of the eldest princess, the old lady gave up the seat, and she sat next to her.After the maids served tea, Princess Duanmin said slowly, "Madam has been away from Beijing for so many years, do you still plan to go back after coming back?"

"I used to want to go to the countryside to relax, but now that I am old, I am afraid of loneliness. I have a grandson and granddaughter Chenghuan, and I am blessed when I am old." The old lady replied with a smile. They were all stopped on him, lest others say that the descendants of the Wei family were unfilial.

The eldest princess gave a "hmm" and said again: "A few days ago, I suddenly heard that the young lady of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion was not in good health, but I was shocked. During the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, I felt that Wei The girl from the Wei family is smart and smart, she is very suitable for my eyes, I wanted to send someone to the Hou's mansion, but I was afraid of being abrupt, now seeing the girl of the Wei family is healthy and healthy, I am relieved."

A very young man.Qingluan quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Princess Duanmin, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Princess Duanmin." Qingluan has always been wary of Princess Duanmin, and he had nothing to do with this princess in the previous life. After rebirth, many things have deviated from the track of the previous life. Although she was a little apprehensive, she was more excited, because this may also mean that their Weiyuan Hou Mansion will no longer go to a home like in the previous life. A devastating ending.

Princess Duanmin smiled and boasted, "What a clever girl."

Seeing that Qingluan was praised, Mrs. Li interjected with a smile: "Eldest princess, last time our family Qingyu got a hairpin from you and was very happy for several days. I wouldn't even look at it."

While speaking, Mrs. Li was secretly depressed that Wei Qingyu's illness was not at the right time, if he was here, he would definitely impress the eldest princess.

Princess Duanmin glanced at Mrs. Li and asked, "Who is this?" If Wei Qingyu had shown his face in front of the Eldest Princess, then Mrs. Li had never even seen her face to face. I don't know Mrs. Li.

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Li's eyes, but his face was relatively thick, and he still smiled and said: "The eldest princess may not remember, I took Qingluan and the others to the flower viewing feast last time, and the poem written by the little girl is still worth it." What about the princess' appreciation?"

The old lady saw that Mrs. Li's words were not focused, so she cut her off and said, "She is the second daughter-in-law of the old man, and also the second aunt of Miss Luan, because Che'er went to the northwest before, and there is no one in charge at home. So my son invited his second aunt into the house."

Princess Duanmin said: "Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Wei Er, I remember that, at the last Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, there was a girl from Wei's family whose poems were among the top three. She is a talented and beautiful girl." 13acv.

Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Li said proudly: "The eldest princess is talking about Wei Qingyu, the eldest daughter of the minister's wife." She can be regarded as a courtier of the Great Xia Dynasty, and she can barely call herself a courtier's wife.

Princess Duanmin nodded, but then looked at Qingluan and asked, "How old is Miss Wei?"

Qingluan replied: "Twelve!"

"But it's already agreed, and the girl's family can be engaged at this age." The smile on Princess Duanmin's face was very generous, but what she said made Qingluan's heart skip a beat, and the fists in his sleeves suddenly twitched. Pinch it tight.

The old lady was also secretly vigilant, this Princess Duanmin was really not a good person in the eyes of women in the Great Xia Dynasty, if ordinary women hoarded facial hair like her, they would all be spit on. Drowning, but people just rely on their noble status to isolate those public opinions, but it is so, even if they don't say it, everyone doesn't agree with it in their hearts.What's more, before this, the Marquis of Weiyuan and Princess Duanmin really had nothing to do with each other. When Qingluan's marriage was mentioned suddenly, the old lady's heart sank.

"When this child was born, her mother asked an eminent monk to make a divination, saying that it is not appropriate to make an early engagement, so now she just looks at each other first, and waits for two years before getting engaged. She is still three years older, and the marriage has not yet been settled, and the elder sister has not yet settled, so it will be her." The old lady was afraid that Princess Duanmin would introduce someone, and it would be difficult to push, so she sent Qingluan The mother took it out to speak.

Qingluan lowered her head and pretended to be shy. It was difficult for her as the person concerned to speak up about this kind of thing. Fortunately, the old lady is also vigilant, and it would be best to get over it first.

A flash of sarcasm quickly flashed in Princess Duanmin's eyes. She didn't expect the Qin family to be so slippery. With such two high-sounding reasons in front of her, she really couldn't say anything else. Forget it, it's not time to tear it up When she loses her face, she has plenty of other ways to achieve her goal.

"Why don't you see Young Master Wei? I heard that he has also come to Daxiang Temple." Princess Duanmin didn't continue the topic that made Qingluan tremble, but instead turned to Wei Che.

The old lady said: "We are old and young, and we are tired of worshiping a Bodhisattva. Che'er has gone shopping elsewhere. If the eldest princess wants to summon him, the old man will ask Che'er to come back. "

"That's really unnecessary. I'm a bit tired in the palace, so I'll go back first. In the afternoon, I will go to listen to Master Yunxiang's Dharma with the old lady." Princess Duanmin stood up after speaking.Several other people also stood up quickly, and sent the eldest princess out of the yard respectfully.

When the princess' guard of honor was far away, the old lady held Qingluan's hand and told the others: "There is still an hour before lunch, so go back to your room and rest."

Impatient with the old lady, Li turned around and took Wei Qingyuan, Wei Qingyan and Li Qin back to the room.

The old lady and Qingluan went back to the house together, and just now asked: "What happened at the flower viewing feast last time?"

Qingluan thought for a while and said: "Grandmother, Luan'er has always felt that Princess Duanmin's attitude towards Luan'er is weird. On the surface, she looks kind and friendly, but occasionally there will be a flash of disgust, but Luan'er doesn't know Where did I offend the princess, but listening to the princess, it seems that I know my father."

The old lady was startled, and then thought that Princess Duanmin's nickname was out of the question. One must know that Wei Yanqing, the eldest son of the Marquis of Weiyuan 25 years ago, was also a famous handsome man in Beijing. Could it be that Wei Yanqing had some quarrel with Princess Duanmin?Princess Duanmin holds a grudge, so she wants to deliberately make things difficult for Qingluan?

When the old lady married into the Marquis of Weiyuan, Qingluan's parents had already married and even gave birth to the eldest son Wei Che. The old lady had always envied the love of Wei Yanqing and his wife. In this era where three wives and four concubines are taken for granted , Wei Yanqing was able to do without a concubine, and even when Qingluan's mother broke her body because of giving birth to Wei Che and her children were not prosperous, she was able to withstand the pressure and not accept a concubine. In Shangjing, I don't know how many women are envious of Qingluan's mother's luck.So the old lady really didn't believe that Wei Yanqing would do such a thing.

Qingluan obviously thought of going with the old lady, and her face sank slightly.

"Okay, after all, Princess Duanmin is a royal princess, and she is also the younger sister of the Holy Majesty, so she will be able to stay away from her in the future. As long as she doesn't get the handle, even she can't easily treat Weiyuanhoufu as a Knead like dough." The old lady comforted in a low voice.

Qingluan nodded, since the matter has come to this point, it is useless to pursue any reason anyway, it is better to let go of her mind, be more vigilant step by step, and stay away from that princess.

Seeing that the old lady looked a little tired, Qingluan said again: "Grandmother, you should have a good rest first, Luaner has gone out, and I will come back later to have lunch with you."

The old lady got up and came to Daxiang Temple in a carriage, and then worshiped so many Bodhisattvas in the Daxiong Hall one by one, and dealt with Princess Duanmin nervously, and was really tired, so she gave Qingluan a few words The words made Qingluan retreat.

Qingluan just left the room when she saw Wei Xin'er and her maid walking in from outside in a panic.

Ever since Qingluan got close to the old lady, she even got closer to Wei Xin'er.Although Wei Xiner is attached to the old lady, she is open-minded, and she is much better than Wei Qingyu and Wei Qingyuan.

After Qingluan got close to the old lady, Wei Xiner not only didn't get jealous, but was genuinely happy for the old lady, and when the old lady talked with Qingluan and Wei Che, Wei Xiner would find a good reason to avoid it, So just now Wei Xiner said that she wanted to go out for a walk, but she came back only a quarter of an hour later, and Wei Xiner looked flustered and pale. What happened?

"Cousin Xin'er, are you okay?" Qingluan asked.

Wei Xin'er was wearing a taupe-coloured jacket with a stand-up collar, and a jade-colored pleated skirt underneath. She looked neat, except for her small face, which was slightly pale, and her eyes were filled with bewilderment.

"Cousin Luan'er." Wei Xin'er was called back to her senses by Qingluan's call, she looked straight at Qingluan, but there was a hint of hesitation in her brows, she didn't know if she should tell Qingluan what happened just now , but if you don't tell that nobleman, if you pursue it, it may implicate the Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

Qingluan was startled, she had never seen Wei Xiner so uneasy before.

"Has the old lady rested yet?" Wei Xin'er looked around the room, seeing that it was quiet inside, she had to give up the idea of ​​seeing the old lady.

Qingluan held Wei Xiner's hand with one hand, feeling that her palm was cold, and hurriedly said: "Cousin Xiner, let's go to the next room, summer solstice, make some warm tea."

Xia Zhi responded, and retreated, Qingluan helped Wei Xiner into the next room, a charcoal pot was already lit in the room, Xia Zhiyou brought tea, Qingluan personally held the teacup to Wei Xiner, Wei Xiner took a few sips to calm down, probably because of the warmth in the room, Wei Xiner's face turned slightly bloody.

"Cousin Xin'er, you just went out for a short while, what happened?" Qingluan asked softly when she saw that she was in a better mood.

"Luan'er, I don't know if I caused trouble. I accidentally bumped into someone when I went out just now." Wei Xin'er took a deep breath. In fact, just now, she and her maid Xiaoqing were only focused on looking at the plum blossoms. I accidentally stepped on someone's foot while backing up.

It's not a big deal if you bump into someone. Thinking about it, Cousin Xiner is not the kind of frivolous person. She is so afraid to be sure that the person's identity is not simple. Asked calmly, "Does my cousin know who that person is?"

"At first I didn't know, I just thought that the man was extraordinary and should have a noble status, but then I saw that the boots on his feet and the cuffs of his clothes were embroidered with eight-clawed golden dragons."

Qingluan took a deep breath, even though she was ready, she did not expect that Wei Xiner would bump into the most noble person, the emperor is a dragon, and there is only one person in Shangjing who can wear the dragon pattern, and that is the current Holy Majesty .

"Cousin, did that person ever blame you?" Qingluan grabbed Wei Xin'er's hand. She felt very complicated about the current Holy Majesty. In the last life, he issued an imperial decree to kill Weiyuan As a member of Fuwei's family, she once blamed the Holy Majesty for not distinguishing right from wrong, but it was more of awe, the majesty of the emperor, which people like them could not offend.With just one word from him, even the most powerful family in Shangjing can be destroyed in an instant.

Wei Xin'er's face turned pale again when she thought about the situation just now, before she had time to apologize, four big knives gleaming with cold light were put on her neck, which frightened her into a daze, but fortunately, the man opened his mouth to forgive He confessed her crime, but asked her name and other circumstances. It took a long time before he opened his mouth to release her, and he still has lingering fears until now.

After hearing her explanation, Qingluan felt relieved. Since the Holy Majesty didn't blame him at that time, he would definitely not settle accounts after the autumn. As the king of a country, he must still have that kind of magnanimity.It's just that Qingluan never expected that when he came to the Daxiang Temple by himself, he would meet the Holy Master who was on tour in a micro-clothes. I don't know if my brother knew about this.

"Cousin, stop thinking about it. After all, you didn't mean it. Since that person didn't let someone deal with it, it means that you didn't remember it in your heart. Let Xiaoqing make some tea for you later. Forget about it after it's over. " Qingluan comforted softly. She could imagine the fear in Wei Xiner's heart. Several big knives were placed on her neck, and the person who hit was the most noble person. Sins can be big or small.

Wei Xiner nodded, although she was still a little shocked, but the fear in her heart finally faded, but she never thought that this collision completely changed her life, so that she often thought of this Merlin in her future life. Every time we meet, all kinds of feelings will come to my heart.
