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

The eldest princess's birthday, for the little girls of the Qin family, is like an embellishment in their routine life. After it passes, they have to re-enter their unchanging life. Every morning, they go to the old lady's house after freshening up In the morning and evening, I will learn to embroider after breakfast, get up after a nap to learn to write, and at night go to the old lady's house to do a big show of family and everything - in this way, after a month, I can still get a lot of money. Fei's reward.

Hui Niang herself doesn't have much money on weekdays, she doesn't have high requirements for clothing, jewelry, rouge and gouache, what the Qin family gave her from the officials is enough for her to use.In the past one or two months, the old lady sent someone to send her monthly silver and subsidies. In March, April, and two consecutive months, she was sent directly to send six taels of silver. For example, she has nothing to spend money on - she rarely asks for small stoves in the kitchen, and she doesn't even have many chances to give money.

Calculated in this way, plus the ten taels of silver she got in February, minus the money she spent, she now has a savings of 15 taels of silver. Every time she looks at the money in the money box, Animian feels emotional in her heart. At the same time, I couldn't help thinking about how to spend the money—and spend it on ideas, and it would be even better if I could get some benefits in exchange.

So this day, when everyone was saving time in the morning and evening, when the old lady told Wei Shi that she was going to Tan Hui Temple to offer incense on the Buddha's birthday, she was a little eager to try.

"Ask anyone at home who wants to go with you. If you are not sincere and just want to go out for a stroll, there is no need to go with you on that day. It is the same if you take it with you on another day." The old lady said to Tan Hui Temple He is very concerned about his work, but he has no interest in taking the younger generation of the family with him.

And what he said is also reasonable. The Buddha's birthday is a big day in Buddhism, and Tan Hui Temple is a famous place of healing around the capital. Many believers must go there on the Buddha's birthday, and even the surrounding The common people also have past to join in the fun.Although the Qin family has some power, it is not enough to be seen in the capital - those high-ranking officials and nobles are all carrying nobles. If it weren't for Wei, the eldest princess's favorite young daughter, in front of the current Qin family's mistress, The Qin family really didn't even have a place to stand in front of those people, let alone monopolize Tan Hui Temple on such a big day as the Buddha's birthday - being able to rent a room in the temple made the female relatives tired of shopping Drinking tea and taking a rest when you are in the middle of the night, even if you have a long face.

With more people going, the security work for the women's family members and children must be done more meticulously, but some things are the most uncertain. The old lady didn't want to bring the younger generation of the family to ease the difficulty of Wei's work.It's not that Wei doesn't care about the old lady's love. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rarely have any public quarrels after getting along for many years. It's also because the old lady seldom embarrasses Wei in big matters, and Wei isn't really pampered and self-willed to the point of being disrespectful. The level of elders.

She smiled and got up, "This is why my mother loves my daughter-in-law. This trip has saved my daughter-in-law a lot of troubles, and she has promised her a day of leisure in advance, so that she can go out for a stroll." She turned to her daughters and daughter-in-law. Auntie, "Is there anyone who wants to follow?"

Perhaps it was because she had known the old lady's temper for a long time, and hated hypocrisy and flattery the most when it came to worshiping the Buddha. The aunts looked at each other without saying a word.Several girls, including Fu Niang, also showed disinterest.Hui Niang didn't care about the sisters, she immediately said: "Grandmother, my granddaughter wants to go to Tanhui Temple with grandmother to burn incense."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Zhi Niang sneer coldly, and Ling Niang completed what Zhi Niang hadn't said, "Second Sister, don't you think that grandma is sincere to the Buddha, and you just want to use this Please grandma?"

With a flash of Wei's eyes, his eyes flicked over to Hui Niang, then he paused on Ling Niang, and scolded, "Ling Niang, Hui Niang is your older sister, how could she talk to her like this? Go back and copy the Fourth Nv Shushu." , You are not allowed to come out to play until you finish copying."

There was a little grievance on Lingniang's face, but Wei's words couldn't tolerate her talking back, so she could only bow her head and say "Yes", looking at Huiniang with resentment in her eyes.

Hui Niang ignored her, just looked at the old lady and said: "Grandmother Mingjian, granddaughter just thought that being able to come to Beijing is enough to show that life is unpredictable. Maybe it is the result of Buddha's blessing. Burning a stick of incense is a blessing. In order to express my granddaughter's respect to the Buddha, the granddaughter is also thinking that if she can follow her grandmother to Tan Hui Temple, she will also donate some accumulated virtues, and ask the Buddha to remember her more in the future."

"It's a good thing to have a mind that respects Buddha." To everyone's surprise, the old lady didn't reprimand Hui Niang for being impure, but affirmed her attitude, looking at her with a little tenderness in her eyes, " As for the money for charity, grandma will pay for you—how much money do you have in your hand when you just come home? You are a lady, so don’t waste what you need to spend, everything else has grandma.”

No one could have imagined that the old lady's attitude towards Hui Niang would be so kind, Ling Niang's eyes widened, and even Fu Niang looked at Hui Niang in surprise.Under these gazes, Hui Niang didn't move, she just smiled and said, "How can my granddaughter spend money? Although the old lady is generous, but the granddaughter herself pays a share of the money, which is also her own respect to the Buddha—the granddaughter counts." Forget it, paying ten taels of silver is not a problem."

"It's only ten taels..." Zhi Niang didn't hide it this time, she just sneered and restrained her expression in Wei's gaze.Fortunately, when it was his own daughter's turn, Wei was reluctant to punish her for copying books for such a trivial matter, otherwise, according to Zhiniang's narrow-mindedness and vengeance, she would definitely remember this matter on her own head, and that would be revenge. In the future, my life will definitely not be so quiet and easy.

"Of course ten taels of silver is not much." Hui Niang smiled and nodded at Zhi Niang, then looked at the old lady with some embarrassment, "But I am not rich, and I am not as rich as my sisters, so I can only do what I can." And well, the Buddha never really coveted my few taels of silver, it is enough to see my sincerity and respect."

"This is reasonable. As long as the heart is sincere, the Buddha will see it." The old lady stopped everyone's mouths with one sentence, and Anise smiled and admitted that she had no money, and her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. Zhi Niang couldn't find any more ironic words, so she stopped provoking.

The old lady turned her head and told Zisu, "We divide the silver we want to donate into twelve taels, and embroider the second girl's name on the cloth bag, and it will be regarded as her filial piety to the Buddha."

Both Funiang and Lingniang looked at Huiniang with jealousy in their eyes, the only difference was that Lingniang still had hatred in their eyes, and Yinniang was pure envy—only Zhiniang listened. After hearing this, she remains indifferent, she is used to extravagance in daily life, Wei's only daughter can be said to get whatever she wants, Zhi Niang has no concept of money since she was a child, and she doesn't know that ordinary people may be able to spend a year with ten taels of silver. It would be good if she didn't take the ten taels of silver seriously, and stopped mocking Hui Niang for this matter. Regarding the old lady's words, all she could understand was the old lady's pity for Hui Niang. That's all.

In comparison, such an attitude made Anisel accept it more easily.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, and Hui Niang was thinking about whether to take the initiative to say something to break the deadlock, when Liu Yiniang said with a smile: "Old lady, this servant is also bold, I beg the old lady to go to Tan Hui Temple this time. Li Buddha can bring the slaves and the second young master."

"Oh?" The old lady looked at Aunt Six with great interest.

Sixth Yiniang glanced at Wei Shi, and then continued: "This servant wants to ask Brother Ming for an amulet in front of the Buddha in person, so as to protect Brother Ming's well-being for the rest of his life."

The Wei family did not mind the possible motives of the sixth aunt. The sixth aunt was originally a maidservant next to the old lady. Even at a young age, she was a little blatantly straightforward in the old lady's room.From Wei's point of view, Liu Yiniang said that she would follow the old lady to Tanhui Temple to ask Brother Ming for an amulet, but she was following Huiniang's words to please the old lady.

The old lady did not reject Liu Yiniang's request, seeing that Wei Shi had no objection, she agreed.Then everyone watched Liu Yiniang's flattery to the old lady for a while, and then the old lady said to Wei: "This time I go to Tan Hui Temple, I think it's like a few years ago, the day before the Buddha's birthday. In the past, staying for three consecutive days was more pious."

These are all things that have been arranged in previous years, and the Wei family didn't say anything else, "Just do as mother said, our family is an old pilgrim of Tan Hui Temple, and there are many alms and offerings during the festivals. A yard will be set aside for us in advance. I will ask the housekeeper to go there to inform the abbot of Tan Hui Temple tomorrow, and then let someone go there to arrange it in advance."

"This courtyard is very good in previous years. Although it is not big, it is not far from the Daxiong Palace, and there is a small forest next to it, which is quieter than other places." The old lady chased after her.

"Knowing mother's preference, the daughter-in-law must make proper arrangements." Wei's lips were full of smiles, showing the demeanor of a virtuous woman. "However, mother, since Hui Niang, Liu Yiniang, and Brother Ming are going to go with me this time, the servants of the chauffeur and entourage..."

Adding Liu Yiniang and barely forcing the four masters, if they were divided into three carriages, plus the maids, servants, and guards who followed the carriage, it would be a bit too much to mobilize the crowd.However, if the number of carriages is reduced, there will be another explanation for the arrangement of personnel.

What's more, Hui Niang is the daughter of the aunt, and Brother Ming is a son even though he is the bastard. It is naturally the best thing for the old lady to speak.

"Just let Qingdai hold brother Ming and ride in the same car with me. Animiang rides in the same car by herself. If you don't feel at ease, just arrange for a daughter-in-law in charge to follow." When the old lady arranged the name casually, she brought out her previous nickname. "Besides, these three days will also give Fu Niang and Zhi Niang three days off, so they won't go to school."
