Chapter 8 Lonely
Lin felt sorry for her son and wanted to care about her feelings, so she ordered the servant next to say, "Yu Niang, you go to the door to find the housekeeper, send a servant to Tunying to send a message to Tingzhou, and ask him to return to the sixth son to see if he can return home earlier tonight. The young lady just came. At least the family had a reunion dinner. He has been so busy recently. How many nails can he beat his iron body? It's better to take a break and get some sleep.
Yu Niang took the order, and Zhixian and Lin talked about the things in the temple again, planning to copy the Buddhist scriptures, prepare money and rice offerings, and add incense and candle fire. Bu Nuan didn't understand that. For a moment, he listened to it boringly. He turned his face and looked at the four heart-fighting arches under the eaves of the window, as well as the tall kisses at both ends of the roof of the front yard. He secretly went to the general's mansion to the end. I'm afraid that such regulations could be comparable to the Forbidden Garden.
"Does Nuan'er follow her mother to worship Buddha at home?" Lin was a little sorry to see her dry aside. She found a talker and smiled, "Actually, I know that it takes an hour or two to meditate in front of the Buddhist niche. Your girl's family is young and can't calm down at all. I think Zhixian is also uncomfortable with scratching his ears and cheeks. The reason why he endures it is probably to accompany me and accommodate me.
Ye Zhixian was a little embarrassed. He smiled and said no, and looked at the cloth warmly.
Bu Nuan sat down honestly and answered, "Mother is the most pious to worship the Buddha. Three pillars of incense a day must be offered in person. I followed Muyu, but I don't know the Sanskrit in the scriptures. I can't read it. My mother saw that I was studying hard, so she didn't force it.
Lin was not surprised and said with a smile, "Yes, we are old and have nothing to do all day long. Worshiping Buddha and meditation is a sustenance. Yu God and Buddha, it is easy to enter my Zen sect with a letter. Since I don't believe it, it is also irreverence. It's better not to worship than to be disrespectful. He also said to Zhixian, "Now that the warmth is coming, you also have a companion. If you really don't like it, you don't have to force yourself. It's not too late to talk about it when you make up your mind in the future."
Bu Nuan saw that the corners of Zhixian's mouth were obviously sinking and said eagerly, "I'd better follow my aunt to worship Buddha. No matter what, it's always atonement. My aunt was so sincere that she changed Rong and her brother's official career smoothly. I followed my aunt and asked the Buddha to bless her.
Bu Nuan sighed, as if Xia Jia Jiulang's early death was due to her lack of virtue earlier. Her situation must have scared Miss Ye. She is rushing to do good deeds to protect her happiness!
The servant woman wanted to embroider cloud head shoes and picked them for Lin. She took the same and turned her face and said, "Let's play together at your girl's house!" It's still early. Zhixian took Nuan'er around and waited for dinner before coming to Wodan Garden.
Zhixian got up and took a warm hand and said, "Let's sit in the pavilion in the garden."
Bu Nuan saluted Lin's family and followed Zhixian into the garden. Along the way, the wind blew over, blowing away the smell of powder on Zhixian's body, blowing her waist, and the golden jade collided, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
She looked back at the warmth of the cloth, and the peony petals on the top of her bun swayed in the wind. She hooked the corners of her lips and said, "You are too quiet. You should apply some rouge and lip fat at this age."
The cloth warmed his face half up, and the skin reflected by the sun was so tender that it could pinch out water. He smiled, "I'm a lazy person. It's too troublesome to wipe it during the day and wash it at night. It's better to save a lot of things."
Zhixian looked deeply at her. She was indeed born beautiful and had not been so conspicuous. If she dressed up carefully, she may not be as good as her. A girl always has a heart to compare. It seems to be a good thing that she is not particular about her appearance. In fact, she has a unique taste. Although she is careless, it is also irresistible.
"Sister Ye, have you booked a good day with your uncle?" She sat casually on the stone bench of Bao Songting, and her big eyes were burning brightly. "Are all the wedding clothes ready?"
Zhixian's cheeks turned red and twisted, "Please ask Qin Tianjian's judgment to take up the day. October 26th is suitable for marriage, and the day has been set. My mother sent someone to do it three years ago, so there is no need to rush out now. She sat down next to Bu Nuan, with some pity in her eyes. "I feel uncomfortable when you encounter this kind of thing. Let's go to fate, and I will also comfort you a few words. Don't think about that now. Live here in peace. If your relatives don't help, who else will be distressed?
The wet nurse and Xiangong, who had been silent on the side, looked at each other and said, "Miss Zhixian is really a good person. Our young lady is bitter in her heart. When she comes to her uncle's house, she is always afraid of causing trouble to others. Now with your words, she is safe."
Bu Nuan found that Xiu was also good at adding jealousy, but when she said so, she had nothing to refute. People often have to be affected by the external environment. The weaker you are, the more secure others will be. Poor soft clothing when necessary is also an important survival skill.
Ye Zhixian became more and more gentle, holding Bu Nuan's hand and said, "What a stupid girl! Rong Yu and the old lady are both good people. You are close relatives of your mother's family. How can you think you are troublesome? The prince of the Xia family died. Maybe he is not blessed to receive the favor of the beauty. The doomed beloved in your life is not him, and there is nothing to be sad about. Take it open!"
Xiu Yingcheng said, "Miss Zhixian's words are the most reasonable. Are you afraid that there is no good match? With an uncle, it will be difficult to find a son with a good family in the future by relying on his uncle and aunt!"
Bu Nuan bowed her head and said nothing, which was regarded as a servant's ability to climb smoothly.
Ye Zhixian smiled shyly, "There are many good generals and talents in the army, and there are many people who are not married. He is a good-hearted person. Needless to mention it, he will naturally pay attention to it for you.
The wet nurse hurriedly squatted down to salute Zhixian. "The maidservant has thanked Miss Zhixian. She is tender. Please take care of her uncle more."
Zhixian responded with a smile and looked at the cloth warmly and said, "I went to the makeup shop to make jewelry. These days, the arm of the Uisscubine is in the market, and everyone outside has it. I ordered two with Dalian and asked the girl to send you one. Pure gold things are prosperous. Don't think it's cumbersome. Just get used to wearing it horizontally and vertically.
Bu Nuan looked up at her and refused, "Thank you, sister. Keep your own makeup. I don't love those things!"
Ye Zhixian said, "I know you don't have short jewelry. That's what I mean. It's a gift. Don't accept it." He brushed her hair on her temples and said, "How can there be a girl who doesn't like fat and pink? You don't even insert a flower in such a good color, and you have lived up to the good years."
Bu Nuan laughed and said, "What color do I have?" If there is such gorgeousness as you, not to mention a flower, it will be full of hair.
Ye Zhixian covered his mouth and smiled, "Let's talk about it again!" Have you seen the red medicine garden in front of the Yanbo Building? That's Lansheng's. Although Lan Sheng hates it, the flowers are well planted. If I were you, I would pick one there a day until the garden is bald.
"You have a bad stomach. Don't bring bad warmth." A sound came from the other end of the corridor. Lan Sheng shook his fan and stood under the steps, half of his eyebrows raised high. He approached and smiled warmly, and then Zhixian with contemptuous eyes said angrily, "Nuannur likes it, not to mention one a day, but it is immediately cut off and provided in her room. I don't even frown. But it's going to change you... Don't even think about it!"
Zhixian spat, "Whoever cares about your flowers, I don't want them for free. Who knows if it's poisonous? It's not good if you get a flower or a willow!"
Lan Sheng snorted and sneered, "You know a lot as a girl! Willow? Who taught you? You only know its name, but do you know how this problem came about?
After all, Ye Zhixian didn't come out of the cabinet. He blushed and said, "You are hopeless. Don't look at others and don't know. Do you want me to break it?"
Lan Sheng seemed to be infinitely happy, revealing his snow-white teeth, patting his palm with a fan and said, "A group of wolves and dogs? Your Rong and brother are also among them. If you say so, he will annoy you carefully!"
Ye Zhixian completely pulled down his face, "You talk nonsense, Rong Yu will never go to that place!"
Bu Nuan listened loudly. Seeing that they were going to fight, he hurried to pull Zhixian and draw silk and whispered, "Sister, don't be angry. Let's talk about it if you have something to say!"
"Don't worry about the warmth." Lan Sheng saw that Zhixian was very red-eyed and said to her with a stiff face, "What if I go? Not to mention that Rong and I haven't married you yet, even if you worship, the emperor's son-in-law are still secretly looking for fun. Your dogma is even stricter than Princess Tang!"
Zhixian stared at him angrily and said in a trembling voice, "How can there be such a cheeky person as you in the world! Fortunately, you are also a member of the court. This kind of thing is reasonable and not ashamed!"
Lan Sheng arched his hand and said, "It's easy to say! We sit upright, but you have to think crookedly. I don't care about Rong and face, but you are energetic!"
The fight there is so smooth that Bu Nuan only praises that men are not inferior to women. This general is really good! Looking at the people standing behind him, the wet nurse and Xiangong were completely dumbfounded. They looked at their sarcasm and half opened their mouths.
Zhixian shook his sleeves angrily, "Why are you so idle? What did Baba come to someone else's house for? Rongyu is not here. We have a room full of children. Have you ever read etiquette, righteousness and shame? What does it mean to avoid suspicion? General Yunqi..." She curled her lips, "The command of the three armies probably has broken his head."
"Self-affecate! I'm not here to see you." Lan Sheng didn't even look at her, but said kindly to Bu Nuan, "Your uncle invited several foreign governors at Tao Ran's wine shop. I'm free now. Can I pick you up and wash the dust for you?"
Bu Nuan was stunned, "What did my uncle ask me to do?"
Lan Sheng said, "It's not in one place. It's over there after drinking. You have rested when he came back last night. He didn't see him and remembered that he was afraid that he would be late today. Don't look back for ten days and a half months. His uncle was not exempted from his duty. He is a trivial person and doesn't want to be criticized. You'd better go there to reassure him!"
Bu Nuan looked at Ye Zhixian, "Sister Ye, will you go with me?"
Lan Sheng immediately lost his eyes and said, "I came here in a chariot. There are two seats, and there is no room."
Ye Zhixian gritted his teeth and scolded him in his heart. Although she also wanted to see Rong Yu, she was never willing to compromise with Lan Sheng. She stood up with her neck and smiled, "I won't go. Warmer, be careful. Some people are well-looking, and their bones are so bad that they are purulent. You should be careful when you go with him. Don't ask him to sell you."
"It doesn't bother you. You'd better go back and embroider your mandarin duck butterflies!" Lan Sheng smiled brightly at Bu Nuan, "I have sent someone to the old lady. Do you want to go back to dress up and change your clothes? I can wait."
