Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 368 Wang Guizhen's extravaganza: A good match arrives, and the world is full of happiness!
In the weather of July, the sun in the morning made people sweat on their foreheads. Wang Lanzhen trotted into the yard, and got into the shade of willows by the yard wall, refusing to move. She just stretched her neck and shouted to the house:

"Sister, why don't you come out soon? Mother is waiting!"

"I'm coming!"

Wang Guizhen walked out of the room while answering crisply. She was wearing a water-green long dress with tender willow and yellow embroidered twigs and lotuses on the placket.It has been three years since I came to the capital. Three years is enough to change a lot of things. Wang Guizhen and Wang Lanzhen are no exception. The long-term pampering and various training and training have made the sisters who grew up in the countryside look very good both from the outside and the inside. A lot has changed.

Simply put, they are no different from the girls in the capital.

The clothes are exquisite and fashionable, the jewelry is exquisite and elegant, the hands become slender, and the skin on the face becomes whiter and more delicate. As the age grows, the facial features become softer and more delicate. She was more mature in the first place, and she also handled the manners and demeanor of those big ladies taught by her nurturing mother very well. When she went out to socialize, she reported her family name. Also appear dignified and generous.

Wang Guizhen and her younger sister Wang Lanzhen walked to the second gate. Today is the fifteenth day, and the two sisters are going to accompany their mother, Mrs. Liang, to a temple outside the city to burn incense and worship Buddha. Father Wang Yaozu was ill last month, and mother went to the temple to make a wish. Now that Dad has recovered, he naturally has to go to the temple to pay his respects and fulfill his vows.

As she walked, she thought of Wang Yaozhen for no reason. Wang Guizhen shook her head lightly. This concubine of the Yue Palace must have been forgotten by the people of the capital, right?Now even the people in Uncle Zhonglie's mansion don't want to mention her.

Once she married into Yue Wang's mansion, she never walked out of that door again, and her family ignored her even when they visited her. It was clear that she wanted to distance herself from Uncle Zhonglie's mansion, and her father, Wang Yaozu, was completely disappointed in her.

Back then, Wang Yaozhen ruined her marriage, and Wang Guizhen really hated it to death. Time has passed, and she no longer hates it. A person who is ungrateful and doesn't even recognize his father must have no heart. To be angry with such a person is not to be angry with yourself. Can't make it through?
As for Meng Yufeng, General Meng, after retiring, Wang Guizhen still missed him and his two daughters. For three full years, he couldn't get rid of his image in his heart!

But I can only think about it, as the old saying goes: Sometimes you have to have a hit, but when you don't have a hit, don't force it!If you don't deserve it yourself, you will never be able to get together!Perhaps, there is really no chance in this life, so we should forget about him and stop wishful thinking!
Wang Guizhen and Wang Lanzhen came to the Chuihua Gate together, Mrs. Zhonglie Mrs. Liang was already waiting there, and the mother and daughter took a big carriage, let the mothers and maids take two small carriages, and hurried out to avoid delay The sun was getting bigger and the road was getting hotter and hotter.

In the car, Mrs. Liang sat in the middle seat, looked at the two daughters sitting by the window on each side, and asked Wang Guizhen:
"Gui'er, the Feng family sent someone to deliver fruit and snacks this morning. By the way, I asked again. Are you really unwilling?"

Wang Guizhen glanced at her mother, and shook her head resolutely: "I've rejected it twice, what are you talking about? I don't like weak and sour talents. Is there any scholar like him who doesn't do business all day long and just likes going to brothels and painting boats?" This kind of flirtatious and playful young master, whoever wants to marry will marry! Mother, don't see Feng's family again!"

Mrs. Liang sighed: "It's your bad fate. After being dismissed by the Meng family, your reputation will not be good! You guys are not bad, and you often go out to show your face, but it's been three years, and there are no good people. Come to propose marriage! The mother also asks people to ask around, this Feng family is only willing to come to see you if the mother asks someone to ask, but you don't want to! You and Lan'er are not young, if you don't marry, Lan'er is also staying here, but what can I do?"

"Mother!" Wang Lanzhen said coquettishly, "I'm not yet seventeen, I'm not in a hurry, and I don't want to marry, you can find a good wife for my sister!"

Mrs. Liang glared at Lan Zhen: "What are you talking about? Your daughter doesn't marry, so you want to be an aunt?"

"If you are an aunt, just be an aunt, what's the big deal!"

Wang Guizhen looked at her younger sister and said apologetically, "It's all me. I was dismissed and made people look down on me, and I tired my sister!"

Wang Lanzhen didn't care at all: "Sister, I don't blame you. I don't believe it, I really can't get married in this life!"

Liang said: "Don't you believe it, this is not our hometown in the countryside! In this capital city, you always look at the door and the background, and the girl's reputation is the most important thing! I didn't believe it at first, but now I understand it, alas! Guier , The Feng family has a good family background, why not just follow..."

"Mother, don't talk about it!" Wang Guizhen resolutely said: "You hurry back to his house, I just won't marry in my life, and I won't marry such a person!"

Wang Lanzhen rolled her eyes at Mrs. Liang: "Mom, what are you doing? Dad asked people to find out that the young master of the Feng family is not a good guy. If you let your sister marry him, daddy will scold you when he finds out!"

Liang said embarrassingly: "I, I don't want to, it's not... no one has come to propose marriage, we always go to other people's homes to ask, others think what's wrong with our daughter, let alone discuss with us Dear...your sister is nineteen years old!"

Wang Lanzhen looked at Wang Guizhen, Wang Guizhen was silent for a while, and said: "This is my life, I bear it myself! Ruo Niang is afraid of being ridiculed, at worst, I will go back to my hometown in the south and guard my father's grave. I can farm and farm , feed yourself!"

Liang's face changed, Wang Lanzhen took Wang Guizhen's hand and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, even if you go back to the south, I will follow you!"

Liang's eyes were red, and he slapped his thigh: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is afraid of being ridiculed? Who dares to laugh? If you can't get married, don't marry. You are my daughter, can I still support you? Even in the future I'm old and dead, and there's your younger brother! You're not allowed to go anywhere, we mother and child will never be separated even if we die!"

Wang Guizhen was silent for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to ask: "Mother, is the Meng family, General Meng married? If he gets married and holds a banquet, he will always send invitations to daddy, right?"

Liang looked at Wang Guizhen, and snorted: "I said, it's fine if no one proposes marriage, and if someone comes to ask you, you still refuse to let go. So you still have that idea! Let me tell you, you just give up—" — Then Meng Yufeng got married a long time ago, and the invitation was sent, I told your father not to tell you!"

Wang Guizhen bit her lips: "When did it happen?"

"I retired from you, and they will be engaged soon! We got married in the first month of last year, and the bride is a young lady from a family of poetry and fragrance. I heard that she looks similar to Wang Yaozhen. of!"

Wang Guizhen's heart was filled with sadness: "But Mrs. Meng, she has given me a gift every time I celebrate a big festival these few years, but why?"

"Why do you say? Silly girl!"

Mrs. Liang glared at her: "Meng Yufeng was confused by that vixen Wang Yaozhen, divorced you, and even gave reasons, saying that you are not good, that you are not virtuous or ladylike, and that you are so cruel that no good person dares to marry you! I He went to the door and yelled at him, cursing him that Meng Yufeng had no good results! That Mrs. Meng is old and mature, and she is really afraid that if you fail to marry her son, she will commit a crime, so she will give you a gift every year. This is compensation, and it is also for his son. Cultivate merit, do you know that?"

Wang Guizhen lowered her head, tears streaming down her face: "Mother, why did you...do that? I don't blame him!"

"You don't blame me, I blame you! You were born by me. If you are not good, can I get better? I can't wait to..."

"mother!"

Seeing her daughter sobbing hard, Mrs. Liang felt distressed, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay! Don't talk! If you didn't open your mouth, I wouldn't be bothered to think about that family, worrying!"

Wang Lanzhen wiped her sister's tears with a handkerchief, and persuaded: "Is it worth it to be sad for such a person? Stop crying!"

After driving for half a day, they arrived at the temple. After a short rest, Mrs. Liang led her two daughters into the main hall to offer incense and pay homage to the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva. A lot of sesame oil money was invested in the merit box, and the monk guarding the merit box faced her, chanted the Buddha's name, and said ten or so sentences tirelessly, "Buddha blesses my wife's family to live in good health!"

Mrs. Liang was very happy, and after leaving the main hall, she led her two daughters to walk around, knelt down and worshiped every Buddha statue, with a devout face, chanting words, praying endlessly.

Wang Guizhen felt that it was very boring to kneel and worship without any purpose. He heard that if he went further, he would send his son to the Niangniang Hall. Then he stood on the porch to catch his breath and waited for them to come out.

Fifteenth was the right time to offer incense and fulfill one's vows, but there were not many pilgrims coming to the temple today, Wang Guizhen stood there counting and counting, and there were only a dozen or so pilgrims coming and going.

He was talking with Xing'er, the girl next to him, when he suddenly heard a bang, bang, bang and sobs from behind him. Wang Guizhen turned around and saw a little girl in a pink embroidered jacket lying on the ground with all five bodies on the ground. I accidentally tripped while walking, my nose was bruised, and the blood flow continued.

Xing'er yelled, at a loss, Wang Guizhen quickly went to the girl and squatted down, took out a clean handkerchief to hold her nose, and comforted her softly:
"Little sister, don't cry. Your nose is bleeding. My sister will stop the bleeding for you. You can breathe with your mouth open, okay?"

The girl looked at Wang Guizhen tearfully, but she stopped crying and breathed with her mouth open.

Wang Guizhen called Xing'er to come over to help, and said with a smile: "Everyone accidentally falls down, little sister, don't be afraid, sister will help you! Stand up and have a look, where else is hurt?"

Xing'er helped the little girl to stand up. The ground in the temple was covered with bluestone slabs, which were swept and swept every day. It was very clean and free of dust. He touched the little girl's knees and chest with his left hand, and asked her if there was any discomfort?The little girl shook her head lightly, her tears were still dripping, but she had calmed down and stopped crying.

After a while, Xing'er brought a little monk over. Seeing that the child had fallen and broken her nose, the little monk rushed to take her to give medicine to the master, but the girl grabbed Wang Guizhen and refused to go with the little monk. Wang Guizhen thought After thinking about it, he asked Xing'er to wait in the same place, in case the girl's family members found him and could tell the reason, he took the girl and followed the little monk away.

Wang Guizhen blocked the girl's nose with a handkerchief, which stopped the bleeding. The master in the temple brought a basin of warm water. Wang Guizhen knew what to do. So that a man could clean it for her, so he rolled up his sleeves, took out a clean handkerchief, and washed the girl's nose with his own hands. The master took some crushed herbs and stuffed the injured side of the girl's nostril, and told her to wait. Discard the herbs after an hour or two, and that's it.

Seeing the girl unconsciously touching her knees, Wang Guizhen checked her and found that her knees and palms were scratched, so she asked the master for some medicinal juice and gently applied it on the wounds.

When she led the girl back to the place, she saw Xing'er standing alone, but no one came to ask the girl's whereabouts.

On the other hand, Mrs. Liang and Wang Lanzhen had already come out of the Hall of Sending the Son and Empress, and walked to Wang Guizhen's side. Both of them had strange expressions on their faces.

Wang Guizhen said: "Mother, sister, have you come out? Where else do you want to go to say goodbye?"

Mrs. Liang said: "It's all over, it's time to go home. Gui Zhen, why don't you find a place to sit? Are you not tired from standing for so long?"

But Wang Lanzhen said: "Sister, guess who we saw?"

Wang Guizhen asked, "Who is it?"

Liang frowned, and hummed to Lan Zhen: "What are you doing mentioning those people? What a waste of time!"

"Wouldn't it be good to let my sister give up completely?"

As Wang Lanzhen spoke, she turned to Wang Guizhen: "The delivery room was reserved by Meng Yufeng today, and my mother and I had to go to the side hall to worship. Meng Yufeng was kneeling there with his wife. His wife must be pregnant... oh , and Mrs. Meng, a large group of people, the masters are setting up altars to pray for blessings!"

Wang Guizhen was already shocked when she heard that Meng Yufeng had married a wife, but now her reaction was not so strong, she just let out a soft "oh".

The little girl she had been holding by her hand suddenly raised her head and said, "Meng Yufeng, it's my father, and my mother is pregnant with a younger brother, so today the whole family is here to pay homage to the mother-in-law, please protect the mother and younger brother!"

Only then did Liang Shi and Wang Lanzhen notice the little girl standing behind Xing'er, and they were stunned: "This is the child of the Meng family?"

Wang Guizhen was also dumbfounded, and squatted down to look at the girl: "You are Zhen'er? You have grown so big!"

Back then, she often went to Meng's house to play with two motherless little girls. Zhen'er was only two years old, and every time she stuck to her tightly, she refused to let her go home.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye, Zhen'er was five years old, she had changed a lot, Wang Guizhen couldn't recognize her, Zhen'er probably couldn't remember Wang Guizhen either!

Meng Zhen'er took Wang Guizhen's hand and said, "Sister, my grandmother is in that hall, follow me!"

She pointed to the blood stains on Wang Guizhen's sleeves: "Your clothes were stained by me, let grandma compensate you!"

Wang Guizhen touched Meng Zhen'er's face, straightened her collar, and said, "No need, my sister still has a lot of clothes, so Zhen'er doesn't have to worry. From now on, walk carefully and take good care of yourself and my sister!"

Zhen Er blinked her eyes: "Sister, how do you know that I have a younger sister?"

Wang Guizhen smiled: "My family and yours used to be neighbors, so I know that my family has moved away now."

"Oh, I see!"

Zhen'er felt sorry: "It would be great if you didn't move away, I like you, I asked my grandmother to ask you to be the mother of my sister and me! My current mother, she doesn't love my sister and me, my sister fell into the lotus pond , been ill for a long time, she did it, I know! I saw it with my own eyes!"

The adults standing by were very surprised. Wang Guizhen held the little girl's hand tightly, but in the end she didn't answer her words, and only said: "From now on, you and your sister will just stay with grandma, don't mess around. run!"

After finishing speaking, he handed Zhen'er to Xing'er and told Kui: "Take her to Mrs. Meng, and tell her that the child has fallen down and is bleeding. Be careful not to touch your nose when you wash your face!"

Zhen'er turned her head three times a step, reluctantly followed Xing'er away.

Wang Guizhen watched Zhen'er's small figure with complicated emotions, and Wang Lanzhen couldn't help sighing beside her: "If this child is telling the truth, then Meng Yufeng's wife is too cruel!"

Liang didn't care so much, she just felt relieved: "He deserves it, this is retribution!"

Wang Guizhen frowned: "Mother! Zhen'er and Zhu'er are very pitiful!"

"Then what does it matter to you? You tell me, does it have anything to do with you? Oh, you poor man, who will take pity on you? Ah?"

Wang Guizhen lost to her mother in the end, so she pulled Wang Lanzhen away quickly.
