Reborn Daughter

Chapter 15 The Surprise in the Worship
"I know!" Ding An, who was originally quiet, was stunned for a moment. Ding Ning'er just pursed his lips as if thinking of something. Ding Zi was still sitting indifferently. He is the son of a prince. He joined the army at the age of ten, made great achievements in battle, and is both talented and beautiful. Da Qi does not know how many young ladies fall in love with him. It just so happens that his biological mother, Princess An, and the mistress are celebrating the day..." He looked up at the Ding Zi.

"Seeing how the second sister inquired so carefully, could it be that she has taken a fancy to Prince An and is feeling springy, hehehe." Ding Ning'er twisted her handkerchief to cover her mouth and kept smiling coquettishly, but a cold light flashed across her eyes when no one saw her. His face flushed, and he scolded, "You little brat, you don't like such a heroic person, not to mention us, even the royal family has many young ladies who admire it, so you know how to run on me!"

"How dare I, why is my sister becoming angry from embarrassment, hahaha!" Ding Jing chased after him angrily, and she and Ding Ning'er laughed and laughed in the room, Ding An lowered his head quietly except for the initial shock Without saying a word, Ding Zi held the lid of the cup and flicked the dross on the surface, his cold eyes flashed cold light in the swaying tea.

There is one thing that Ding Jing didn't say completely, that Prince An's son is cruel, merciless, indifferent, and has never been easy to get along with, and he beats women!

After everyone had dinner in the evening, Xi'er and Ling'er reported to Ding Zi one by one to prepare for the festival. Hearing that the three nuns did not seem to have any problems, the silent Ding Zi said, "Just follow them to discuss things. But for the things needed on the day of the festival, you prepare a copy for me in secret, and Ling'er will continue to follow them and tell them what to say."

Xi'er and Ling'er nodded in response, and Ding Zi waved them away to rest.

On the day of the memorial ceremony, Ding Zimao woke up and began to shower and change clothes. Today, she was wearing a plain white forging dress, white forging trousers, and cloth shoes without any embroidered patterns. She only quietly tied a green hairpin on her head, and her whole body was plain and simple. Wei Wei couldn't resist the extravagance that was exuding.

She raised her head and chest, without any rouge on her face, but her natural beauty was as charming as water, Xi'er Ling'er also changed into a white cotton dress and followed behind Ding Zi.

Baiyun Nunnery has one hall, three halls and five halls, which respectively enshrine Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and other Bodhisattvas. tablets.

In terms of status, the first hall is for the royal family, the second hall is for princes and earls of the third rank and above, the third hall is for the third to fifth ranks, the fourth hall is for the fifth rank and some wealthy imperial merchants, and the fifth hall is naturally ordinary people. .

Theoretically, Qirou should be offered in the third hall, but because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Marquis of the Huguo, she made an exception and made an offering in the second hall. When Ding Zi walked in, her aunts and concubines were already waiting quietly. start.

Without the sacrificial words of the clan worship, it is just to kneel down, burn incense and nibble on the head, but it only takes half an hour.

Ding Zi took the lead and knelt down, behind them were Ding Jing, Ding An, Ding Ning'er, three concubines, and finally Aunt Ma and Aunt Bai. There are three kinds of fruits and one incense burner, which is very simple.

"It's no good, the incense is broken!" Nanny Ding, who was opening the incense, screamed strangely, her eyes were full of panic.

"Oh my God, this incense is all selected from thousands of people. Why is it broken at this time? Maybe it's the mistress who blamed it. This kind of thing has never happened before my aunt presided over it." Another oldest nun With a frightened look on his face, he was still muttering, "The mistress is to blame, Amitabha, the slaves have no second thoughts about the mistress, if the mistress wants to find them, she will find those who are unfilial and disloyal, don't look for slaves, don't look Looking for slaves!" This nanny's voice was deliberately amplified, there are many memorial tablets for the Duke's Mansion in the second hall, and there is not only one person today, and this nanny's voice is so loud, everyone who heard the voice in the other three halls and four halls also When they got together, the second hall was full of people.

It is extremely unlucky to pay homage to the broken incense, it is disrespectful to the dead, and this nun can't stop talking, and it didn't take long to understand the reason.

The illegitimate daughter's unfilial piety caused the biological mother to be angry, and the rumors about Ding Zi were once again pushed to the cusp of the storm. Everyone looked at her with disdain, contempt, anger, accusation, gloating, and all kinds of unkind eyes.

Ding Zi, who was kneeling in front of the altar, raised her head at this time, and glanced at everyone indifferently. Those black pearl-like eyes were calm at this moment, but they were like a bottomless ancient well, glowing with a deep blackness. , there is a trembling weirdness in the silence!

The corner of Ding Zi's mouth was slightly curved, and he seemed to be smiling but with a bit of coldness. Looking at the people gathered in the left door of the second hall, his heart sank slightly.

Although the five halls are connected to each other, due to the hierarchical system, under normal circumstances no one rushes around. As soon as the incense in her place was broken, these people immediately ran over to watch the excitement. Or someone deliberately lured these people over, the answer goes without saying!

At this time, the nanny was still talking non-stop, and the wives, ladies, maids, and women in the second, third, and fourth halls all began to talk, and their voices became louder and louder. After a while, they said everything, and the whole second hall was like a vegetable market. noisy.

However, Ding Zi just knelt on the spot without saying a word, her eyes just focused on Yun Qirou's memorial tablet on the altar table, her behavior made people feel very puzzled, why didn't she even explain, could it be that she was really unfilial?

I only looked at Ding Zi with her straight back, her legs stretched straight, her kneeling posture was not bad at all, her head was slightly raised and she just stared quietly, there was a faint trace of crystal in her black eyes, as bright as a blaze, but she looked The hearts of the people tightened, and the second hall suddenly became quiet.

"Open the incense!" Ding Zi's cold voice sounded, Xi'er saluted respectfully, took out the new incense sticks from a corner of the altar table, took out the new incense sticks, took out three sticks and handed them to Ding Zi, and then handed over the other incense sticks to each other with Ling'er For my aunt and all the concubines, the nanny who was standing beside the altar and muttering non-stop was stunned.

It stands to reason that when a person is accused of being unfilial, such a natural disaster as burning incense and breaking incense should be an explanation for panic. How could this young lady be so calm!
Ding Zi acted like this, not only the noisy mother, but also those who were attracted to watch the excitement, Ding Zi kowtowed and kowtowed, took incense and put it in the incense burner, Aunt Ma and Ding Jing looked obviously wrong, After being helped up, they all stared at Ding Zi in a daze, thinking about it in their hearts, but they didn't know what her plan was.

Ding Zi stood up, just quietly looking at the two nuns who were at a loss standing in front of the altar offering incense and making noise, without saying a word, the faint light flickering in those eyes was like the coldest water in a cold pool. , looking chilly.

Nurse Xue and Ning Ning trembled at the sight, she would never have thought that a 12-year-old girl would have such an aggressive aura, her eyes rolled around, and she didn't know what this young lady was thinking, looking at her There is no expression on the face, and it is impossible to see other thoughts, which is even more heart-wrenching.
