Chapter 12

On the second day, before dawn, the candles in Duke Ningguo's mansion were lit up.Sheng Yanling was also picked up by Guan Gui and Xu's mother to take a bath, rubbing her inside and out, and applying balm on her.A little rouge was also rubbed on her lips to make her look better.

The last white jade hairpin was worn on the head, simple and elegant, but Xu's mother was not satisfied, she still thought that the cloisonne hairpin set by my aunt was the best, and if it was worn on the girl's head, even the Buddha would be fascinated by it. What's more, the fifth young master is a mere mortal.

Sheng Yanling pursed her lips and smiled - completely amused by Xu's mother's exaggerated words.As for Fifth Young Master... She found that she didn't seem to be looking forward to it as much as before.

Hey, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.Anyway, she thinks that when she gets married, she should bury her head in reading, regardless of his flamboyance.

This thought calmed her down instantly, she thought, if she was sad because of the incident in the back house and forgot to study, then she would be sorry for the teachings of her husband for so many years.

After tidying up, I went to my aunt's yard for breakfast - because I had to go out early today, I didn't need to go to the old lady's to say hello, and the two had a peaceful breakfast.

After breakfast, she went to the temple. She and her aunt had a carriage, her cousin had a carriage, maids and women had a carriage, and the servants and guards all walked.

A group of people was mighty, and soon arrived at the temple.Li taught Sheng Yanling, "There are a lot of people in Kyoto, people who go to court, do business, and come out to make a living, and they all have face. They sit in sedan chairs, carriages, and horses. When it is blocked, it is like sitting in a carriage and unable to move an inch."

"So if you want to go out, especially when you walk this main street, you have to get up early and leave the city gate early. It's much faster to walk in the suburbs."

Sheng Yanling nodded, indicating that she remembered it.She opened the window and took a small look outside, and instantly felt that what her aunt said was true.

There are so many people!

When they arrived at the Daxiong Palace Temple, Yu's family hadn't arrived yet.Li Shi was a little unhappy, how could she come later than the woman?Really angry.But it was not easy to tell the children about this, so I went to the abbot to ask for a female dormitory to rest.

Since it was a women's house, Ning Shuo couldn't be here, so he went to the main hall outside.Sheng Yanling sat and waited for a while, but she didn't see her family coming, so she was a little ready to move, she whispered to Li Shi: "Auntie, can I go to the main hall first to see the ever-burning lamp dedicated to the husband."

She didn't come last time to do something for her husband, but now that she's back, she definitely wants to go and have a look.Li agreed, and she said: "You go, you go, I will call you back when the person arrives."

She was very upset in her heart, and she was going to say something carefully when the family came, lest they think that her family's banquet bell could be taken lightly.

Xu's mother and Guan Gui went to the main hall with Sheng Yanling, Xu's mother blushed along the way, and scolded the wife of Yu's family in her heart, thinking that she must be late because she didn't love the concubine.

Guan Gui had a different opinion, she said, "Girl, if you want to stand up in the future, it will seem useless to Fifth Young Master."

She thought that even the first meeting was so late, and Fifth Young Master Yu was not that bad. Of course, she also thought that Mrs. Yu had a bad heart, so she came late on purpose.But Fifth Young Master Yu couldn't resist his aunt, so it was useless to see that it was useless, the girl could only stand up by herself.

Sheng Yanling smiled when she heard the words, "Let's look at it later, don't wrong Mrs. Yu, if she is such a person, she would not have agreed to this marriage before."

When the husband told her about the annals of history, he once said that if the mother-in-law wants to control the concubine, it is best to control their marriage. For example, the Su family, which has eighteen prime ministers in history, had a relatively famous dispute between the concubine and concubine a hundred years ago.

It is said that at that time the concubine of the Su family was more powerful than the aunt, and was quite famous among the scholars, so his aunt began to delay his marriage, using his reputation as a raft, thinking that he would be the one who ascended the court to worship the prime minister in the future, so he must be Pick a good one, then pick this, pick that, after a few years, it will not settle down, and as time goes by, good people with daughters will not want to propose to him.

According to my aunt, this fifth young master is also a young, intelligent and famous person, and if he wants to control him, the marriage will be dragged on for a year, and it will also make him upset, instead of making the marriage so happy. down.

She said: "Mr. said that when you are a person and do things, you can't guess whether they are good or bad. You have to look at the person before you talk."

Xu's mother curled her lips, "The girl was taught badly by Mr. Jing. People in this world are naturally hostile."

Wife and concubine, aunt and concubine.

Sheng Yanling didn't like to hear this, so she immediately said: "How can there be any mistakes in what Mr. said? Look at Auntie, she is very good, she is very good to Miss Wu and Aunt Wu."

Mother Xu just laughed, "My aunt is one in a million."

Guan Gui said narrowly, "Aniang, Mr. Jing's ever-burning lamp is in this temple. If you speak ill of him, he might be watching you."

Xu's mother felt a chill go down her back, she quickly shut up, and kept saying in her heart that Mr. Don't blame him, Sheng Yanling and Guan Gui covered their mouths and laughed.

But when they entered the main hall, the faces of the three of them became serious.

At this time, the sun had not risen for a long time, and there was not much sunlight in the main hall, but the candles in the long-burning lamps illuminated the entire hall as if it was noon.

Here, how many people should be missed.

Her heart became sore, "I miss you sir."

But soon, she saw Ning Shuo standing on the other side.She was surprised for a moment, and walked over to say hello, "Third cousin, why are you here?"

Ning Shuo came to see his ever-burning lantern.Who knows, but here I saw my own two lights.

He lowered his eyes, "It's nothing, just come and walk."

But at this time, Shengyan Bell had already seen the ever-burning lamp of Mr. Wang.All the other lamps have their names written on the lower end, but Mr. only has a surname.There were tears in her eyes: If I knew it earlier, I should ask the husband's name. I don't know if the husband can receive the paper money she burned.

Then glanced out of the corner of the eye, but saw another long-burning lamp placed next to Mr.The name on it is also Jing.

There are very few people with the surname of Jing in Lingnan. After living for so long, Sheng Yanling has only seen Mr. Jing. I didn't expect to see another person with the surname of Jing here.

She murmured out, "Jing—Lan Shi."

"Lan Shi—"

What a great name.

Then she raised her head, and saw that her cousin's expression was extremely complicated. He was staring at her closely, but his eyes were soft—she didn't know whether the word "soft" was right to describe his eyes at this moment, but she was really frightened up.

He looked at her like this, as if she was something excellent and worth cherishing for a lifetime.

Mr. has seen her like this.

Cousin and Mr. are really similar.

She lowered her head hastily, feeling that she was thinking wildly again, Ning Shuo also knew that she was really reckless, so she quickly looked away, but the corners of her mouth curled up.

——I never thought that I could still hear this name from her mouth.

She pronounced his name very well.
