Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 75
Rui Yi listened to Jiu Yiniang's rambling, and said helplessly: "The situation outside is like this, and mother can't do anything about it, so my aunt shouldn't make trouble. Let me tell you, how can Aunt Jin be alone if you don't meet her face to face? You don't care about anything without looking at Aunt Ba."

"Ba Yiniang's family really doesn't like her. Speaking of how long has Ba Yiniang been out of favor, that person surnamed Jin is not stupid, how could he be jealous of an unfavored aunt."

"Then you know that they are picking on you, but you are still rushing." Rui Yi felt a headache.

"What do you know, it's called not being able to lose momentum, and being overwhelmed by a newcomer, I don't have the face to show people." Jiu Yiniang was indignant.

Looking at her aunt, Rui Yi felt a little sad, and persuaded her: "You have a daughter and son now, which is not much better than others. In the future, your husband and wife will be behind, so there is no need to fight with someone who doesn't know how deep you are. Get close to Zhu Zhechi Near Mo Zhehei, isn't it self-deprecating if you fight her?"

"That's right." Jiu Yiniang felt that her daughter's words made some sense, "But I just don't like it."

"There are so many unpleasant things in this world, is it possible that you have to take care of each of them?" Rui Yi refilled Jiu Yiniang's tea, and said: "Mother doesn't take care of it, why do you have to show off? .”

"Then what's the matter, how can Madam fight against a concubine, it's too bad."

"Now that you understand this truth, on the other hand, you are an aunt who has children, and you have contributed to the Hou Mansion in giving birth to children. If Aunt Jin came to fight with you, wouldn't you lose your position by arguing with others?"

Jiu Yiniang stopped talking and looked down at the soft lichen on the ground.

Jiu Yiniang was worried that she would fall out of favor after Aunt Jin came in, that's why she was so strong.But Auntie Jin doesn't know how many men like her father will be in the future, so it's really asking for trouble to invest in this.She can't explain what her parents did, so she can only explain it to Jiu Yiniang, hoping she can think about it.

Jiu Yiniang sat with Rui Yi for a while, then got up to leave, and said to Rui Yi before she left, "I'll accompany you to embroider the dowry tomorrow."

This is no longer fighting with Aunt Jin, Rui Yi said with a smile: "That's good, I really can't do without Auntie's help here."

Jiu Yiniang smiled and left, looking at Jiu Yiniang's back through the window, what does Rui Yi think is the meaning of such days?

After marrying someone and having children for others, after the end of my face withering, I should watch my husband accept a new love, and I have to take care of my aunt and children for him.Day by day, until my teeth turned white.

The more I thought about it, the more boring I felt. Looking at the wedding dress in my hand, I didn't even bother to sew it.

What is the purpose of living for a woman in this life?
After thinking about it, she didn't know how to answer this question.

It has been a long time since Ruiyi had received a letter from Zhu Yanzhang since the weather was severe and communication was inconvenient.The weather is cold and the roads are blocked by heavy snow, so it takes much longer for letters to come and go, Ruiyi understands this.

"Girl, girl." Ling Xiao walked in quickly, his face pale, "It's bad, it's bad, I heard that Di Rongjun broke through Shanglin Pass and is about to break in."

Rui Yi was startled, "Called in? How is it possible? Didn't you say that the border is as secure as Mount Tai?"

Zhou Shenyi, Zhu Yanzhang and others went to the border one after another. How could such a thing happen?

"What are you talking about?"

"Shanglin Pass."

Zhu Yanzhang and the others are stationed at Pingyi Pass!

Rui Yi looked at Ling Xiao and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

"The slaves didn't take turns to rest yesterday, so I went home. Now it's spread all over the street when I come back at noon today. It's just that it hasn't spread in our house yet."

"It's spread all over the outside world, so the credibility is very high." Rui Yi said to himself, she is just a lady in the inner circle, and she has no idea about this matter at all.In a daze, I suddenly remembered that Zhu Yanzhang's letter seemed to have mentioned this Shanglin Pass, and it seemed that there was something about Xialin Pass.

Thinking of this, she reached out to look for the letter in the drawer, found the letter, took it out for a closer look, and was stunned when she saw it.

Pingyi pass is a big pass to stop Di Rong. If you want to break through Pingyi pass head-on, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky.In addition to Pingyi Pass, there is also Shangxialin Pass, but there are mountains as a natural barrier, and it has always been a place where wars rarely occur.

Therefore, Hu Chiyan broke through Shanglin Pass by surprise.From Shanglinguan all the way to the imperial capital, this journey is a bit more advanced than the Pingyiguan Taoist capital.

Remembering that Hu Chiyan went all the way to Xiaoqingshan twice, without anyone noticing, Ruiyi was terrified at this moment.

The news that Shanglin Pass had been breached spread all over the capital in an instant, and the court could not suppress it. Every two days, before the court could make a conclusion, Xialin Pass was also lost.At the same time, I received a report from the border gate that Pingyi Pass was surrounded by [-] Dirong troops and could not rush to help, so I asked the imperial court to send troops to help Shanglin Pass.

Such news was sent to the mansion every three days, and everyone in the Hou's mansion was panicked.Fortunately, Kyoto is an important place, heavily guarded by soldiers, and people's hearts are still stable.

At the same time, King Shen and King Hui once again argued over who would lead the troops. Naturally, they all wanted their own share of such a great opportunity to make contributions.

Rui Yi's dowry was also finished at this time, Jiu Yiniang looked at the wedding dress and sighed, stretched out her hand to fold it up, carefully put it into the cage, and muttered: "Amitabha, I hope that those villains will be driven out quickly, Let us live in peace and life. The gods will kill you, commit crimes, what kind of account will you pay?"

Rui Yi sat there silently, countless rumors floating around in the capital all day long.There were even rumors that Zhou Shenyi had been shot and killed by the enemy. The Pingyi Pass was trapped and Shangxialin Pass was forced. No more, there was a lot of noise in the court, and Pei Jilin, a petty official, couldn't even contribute, so he could only be in a hurry when he came back.

The eldest lady knew her son's temperament, and advised him to be patient. Whether or not they Shun'an Hou Mansion has that kind of strength makes people look at it. Don't jump up and down at this time, but become a target.

Rui Yi still remembers that it was a very quiet morning, the first day the Da Furen told her to go to Luoxue Nunnery to fulfill her wish on her behalf.Because Brother Qi had been unwell before and had been making trouble all night, the eldest lady specially invited the teacher from Luoxue Nunnery to show Brother Qi, and promised that Brother Qi would go to pay for the sesame oil when he was well.

Rui Yi didn't know about Brother Qi's illness at first, after all, it's really hard to publicize such a thing.As soon as the eldest lady said, she immediately agreed. She had been to Luoxue Temple before, but it was cold to go to Puren Temple in the past few years.I originally planned to go when I climbed the mountain last time, but who knew that the eldest lady was also sick and did not go.This time the eldest lady couldn't get away, firstly there was a lot of noise outside, and secondly, Aunt Jin was worried, she was not in the mansion for fear of being overwhelmed, so she repeatedly told Ruiyi to let her go for her.

Ruihua treats her with deep affection and kindness, and Ruiyi will not refuse to agree to such a thing.Because the weather is cold and the road is not easy to walk, we have to leave the city early in the morning.

That morning Jiu Yiniang was worried that she would be cold on the way, so she got up early and told her to dress warmly, and then sent her out the door.Ling Xiao followed her, and Mu He stayed behind. When he went out, Ling Xiao said, "It's so gloomy today, I'm afraid it's going to snow." He also specially brought an extra big cloak, made of white ermine, for this year's New Year The doctor asked the sewing room to make it for her.

When leaving the city, there are few pedestrians on the road, and there are very few peddlers carrying burdens to sell.The carriage rolled across the bluestone road and shook slightly. The gate of the city had only been opened for a short time, and there were not many people leaving the city, so they were allowed to leave the city after seeing the emblem of the Marquis of Shun'an without much delay.

After leaving the city gate and walking all the way to Luoxue Nunnery, Ruiyi raised the curtain of the car, because of the snow, the sky and the earth were white, very bleak.

The Luoxue Nunnery was built on a flat land at the foot of the mountain, and the scale was not very large. After leaving the city gate, it took half an hour for a carriage to arrive in front of the nunnery gate.I thought I had said hello in advance, and there was already a little master waiting in front of the door.Seeing the carriage stop, he responded with a smile.

Rui Yi stepped out of the car, and the little master said: "Benefactor Pei, please come in, everything has been arranged."

"Thank you, master." Rui Yi saluted with a smile, and followed the little master all the way in.

The snow on the bluestone steps was swept clean, and the towering trees in the courtyard were only dead branches. Ruiyi first went to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and after the ceremony, he offered sesame oil and money to donate merit.Rui Yi was very devout in doing these things, and when he got up, he looked at the little master and asked, "I wonder if the presiding master is here?"

"No one will go out today, but there is a noble person in the city who wants Master, so Master can only go to the city. Before leaving, he has ordered me to treat the benefactor properly."

Rui Yi didn't expect it to be like this, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, little master, I want to walk freely in this nunnery."

There are only five or six aunts in Luoxue Nunnery, so the little master smiled and said: "Well, you look around, I'll go and get busy first, just call me if you have anything to do."

Rui Yi nodded with a smile, and let the little master go by himself, because there are few people in the nunnery, so everyone has more work to share.Taking Ling Xiao all the way from the front yard to the back yard, the Buddhist hall is solemn and the treasure is solemn, but Rui Yi feels a little at ease in it.It only took more than half an hour to walk down the circle, and the resting room was already prepared, and Ling Xiao walked over slowly with Rui Yi.When they reached the second gate, they saw a fat aunt with a pale face staggering in from the gate, shouting as she walked, "Close the door, close the door."

When Rui Yi didn't know what happened, Ling Xiao who was next to him asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
