I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

After saying hello, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "You two sisters talk first, I'll go and see the old lady." Then she turned and walked through the main room, and went to the east room.

Although she already recognized the person who came, Hui Niang still asked Fu Niang in a low voice, "The one just now was..."

"Oh." Funiang's face was very gentle, "That's my aunt, she usually lives in the backyard of the old lady's yard, so it is convenient to show filial piety to the old lady, and it is convenient to take care of me and my brother." The aunt is the pair The biological mother of twins, mother and son have always had a very good relationship.

Hui Niang suppressed the emotion welling up in her heart, gave a soft "hmm", and talked about something else with Fu Niang.

"Our family doesn't have many relatives in the capital, but there are always chances to go out. The most frequent one is the Grand Princess Mansion—that is, the wife's natal home, but the Yasukuni Mansion is rarely visited." Fu Niang said very tactfully , and didn't mean to explain in detail to my sister.If it wasn't for Hui Niang's life experience, she who just came to Beijing from the Northwest would definitely not be able to understand the mystery.

However, this mystery involves the secrets of Wei's life experience after all. Wei is now the mistress of the Qin family, so Fu Niang naturally dare not gossip about her behind her back.Not only Fu Niang, but even Hui Niang, dare not show an expression of "understanding"—even if the mystery of Wei's life experience is a tacit understanding shared by all wealthy families in the capital, it is still in the capital.Although the Yasukuni Mansion is weak, as long as the eldest princess is still around, this matter can still be regarded as a matter of the royal family. Who dares to openly chew the royal tongue?So no matter what, it won't spread to the northwest. Hui Niang thought to herself that she couldn't explain the channel through which she knew about this matter, and simply pretended that she didn't hear the mystery, as if she didn't even know the relationship between the eldest princess and Lord Yasukuni. .

Fu Niang only talked a little bit, seeing that Aninian didn't pick up the conversation, she changed the topic to something else. "In addition to the Dachang Princess' Mansion, my grandmother would go to the Tanhui Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to worship the Buddha every year around the Buddha's birthday, and would often stay there for a day or two. If any of the sisters are willing to follow, they can also go there together." Naturally, She is the one who is willing to follow every time.

The old lady Qin believes in Buddhism, this Animian knows.Not only the old lady, but even Mrs. Bai would recite a few Buddhist scriptures from time to time.When I was in Qinjia Village, because of my good handwriting, I often helped neighbors copy Buddhist scriptures in exchange for some rice.However, because my uncle has never believed in gods and Buddhas, it has affected her to some extent—besides, she has listened to her mother telling stories in Buddhist scriptures since she was a child, but she always feels: If Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can really bless the world, why can't people as good as my mother? What about the reward?

Because of this unwillingness, in the previous life Animian never went to Tanhui Temple with the old lady, and every time she heard the old lady mention the Buddha, she always looked disdainful—even if she tried her best to cover it up, but in the previous life, her The ability to hide emotions——Animian now wants to hide her face and walk away as soon as she thinks about it: she couldn't hide her face at that time, but it's good to hide her eyes now.

However, after being reborn, Hui Niang learned to respect ghosts and gods—maybe, is there really a Buddha in this world?That's why I gave myself another chance to...

"Elder Sister, do you want to copy the basic Buddhist scriptures in advance when you go to Tan Hui Temple?" She lowered her head slightly, but raised her eyelids, showing a bit of shyness and shyness.

"You can also copy Buddhist scriptures?" Fu Niang looked at Hui Niang with a bit of surprise, and suddenly realized that she didn't speak well, as if Hui Niang came from the village and couldn't write and had no experience. Yes, I hurriedly searched for a supplementary explanation: "Although worshiping the Buddha is prevalent in Beijing, most of the people who really do Buddhist deeds are the elders in the family. Most of the girls in the family are just in favor of the elders. They don’t copy Buddhist scriptures. On my grandmother’s birthday two years ago, my third sister wanted to copy a Buddhist scripture to give to my grandmother, but she was reprimanded by my grandmother when she just showed some interest ’, and no one mentioned it after that.”

Hui Niang smiled gratefully: "So that's the case, thanks to the elder sister's reminder, otherwise, I would show my shame by taking out the copied Buddhist scriptures." There were really two copied Buddhist scriptures in her luggage. I hurriedly copied it in the first month after knowing the news that I was going to Beijing in February. I originally wanted to give it to the old lady, but I didn't expect that the old lady would not accept this at all.

That's right, there was indeed no junior in the previous generation who copied Buddhist scriptures and gave them to the old lady. She hadn't thought about the reason before, but she suddenly realized it after hearing what Fu Niang said.

"You live in the northwest, why are you still copying Buddhist scriptures?" Fu Niang couldn't help asking curiously.

Hui Niang lowered her eyes, "My mother used to like copying Buddhist scriptures."

When Bai's was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward. Fu Niang glanced around, but she didn't know how to answer this sentence.After a long while, he said "um", but he didn't have anything else to say.

Hui Niang sighed from the bottom of her heart: It seems that there really is no place for her mother in this family.

Fortunately, this embarrassment didn't last long. After a short while, Zisu brought a group of maidservants into the Xici room, placed tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks and dishes, and the people in the kitchen brought food over, because Pinellia was It was allocated to Hui Niang—now she was leading someone to tidy up the east wing, so Zisu temporarily pulled Lilac to arrange the dishes together.

The lunch was very sumptuous, with eight dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, but it was not too extravagant in Shangshu's house.The old lady naturally sat in the main seat, and Hui Niang and Fu Niang sat opposite each other, and the aunt waited on the side to help the old lady serve vegetables. The three of them quietly finished their first meal after Hui Niang came to Beijing in this life.

Although Qin Mengyuan has been an upstart in the capital for more than ten years, whether it is the Qin family village where he was born or the old lady's natal family, they can be regarded as a big family in Shaanxi, and they also attach great importance to rules in raising children. Whether it is the old lady Qin, They are still wives, and they all eat elegantly.And the old lady was very satisfied when she saw Huiniang's polite behavior: as long as this granddaughter is not raised as a village girl who can't stand on stage, she is willing to protect her a little bit.

In fact, the old lady couldn't say which of the son's two daughter-in-laws she was dissatisfied with - the Bai family failed to give birth to a son, so did the Wei family give birth to a son?In terms of what the elderly valued most, neither of the two daughters-in-law could satisfy her.Things outside are men's business, the old lady doesn't understand, so she can only let her son decide everything.But in the past few years, the wife in the family was strong and the husband was weak - Wei Shi did a little fuss in front of her, but she didn't know what it would be like to grind her son in their own yard.

But there is no way, Wei's mother is the eldest princess - even the emperor dare not listen to a word, and her sister is a noble concubine - the pillow wind is even more useful, she is an old lady who doesn't understand political affairs, and What can be done?She had no choice but to try her best to protect her eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter at home. It seemed that as long as she protected these two, she would retain a little bit of victory in the confrontation with Wei Shi.

Regarding Hui Niang, in fact, the old lady's mentality is the same: if she can protect this granddaughter a little bit in front of Wei Shi, it seems that she will prove her own value a little bit more.

As long as she is not so shameless, as long as she is obedient... The old lady looked at Hui Niang with tenderness in her scrutiny.

***

After eating, she sat down and drank half a bowl of tea before the old lady got up.Just after taking a step outside, he stopped and turned around to look at the two granddaughters.

The Qin family has the habit of taking a nap, the old lady and the wife have to go back to the bedroom to sleep, so it becomes a difficult problem for Animian to settle down—not to mention that the old lady doesn't know whether Animian wants to take a nap, even if she takes a nap, she will let her sleep. Where does she take her nap?

The old lady was hesitating, but the wife instantly understood her grandmother's concerns, and she took the initiative to ask, "Let the second sister go to my room to rest for a while?"

Looking at the eldest granddaughter whom she had brought up since she was a child, the old lady smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, it's rare that your sisters hit it off on the first day they met."

In fact, she doesn't hit it off with her elder sister, and Huiniang doesn't know yet.But she understood that she was in an embarrassing situation now, so she agreed graciously, and even took the initiative to hold the wife's hand. The two sisters walked out of the main room hand in hand, and entered the west side courtyard along the small door outside the chasing corridor.

The west side courtyard is a small cross-courtyard, with two tile-roofed houses and a small side room on the north side, two side rooms on the west side, also one light room and one dark room, and two small inverted rooms on the south side. I saw people dressed like little maids walking around inside.

Because the west courtyard is close to the old lady's main house, the wife never brought her maids with her when she went to her grandmother's house. As soon as the two sisters entered the courtyard, two maids greeted them from the house, watching with curious eyes. Holding hands with his young lady, the plainly dressed girl said, "Miss, you are back."

Fu Niang said "En", then pointed to Hui Niang, "This is the second girl."

There was a flash of understanding in the eyes of the two maids.Although no one has seen it before, the servants of the Qin family have always known that there is a "second girl" in the mansion.It's just that in the early years, the second girl was "pure and filial, serving her birth mother in her hometown", but later she became "pure and filial, guarding her birth mother's spirit in her hometown".Over time, the second girl was stamped with two stamps: "Pure and Filial", and "Hometown".

"Second Miss." The two maids blessed their bodies at the same time.

"These are the two maids in my room, Yuzhu and Yugui." Fu Niang took Hui Niang's hand and walked into the house, and then ordered casually, "The second girl is taking a nap with us today, you go and make a pot." Here comes the water, and find a new nightgown as soon as possible."

Hui Niang remained silent, she let the wife lead her, and quietly looked around the wife's bedroom.She had also been to this room in her previous life, but at that time she and his wife had a normal relationship, and she came here once or twice, and it was also when the wife was about to get married, and most of the things in the house were put into boxes and cages. It was still the first time she saw the owner of this room when she was still there.
