Chapter 44 Doubt [Second Update]

"The premise is that you can pass the exam!" Xia Houchen added, "A year later, I will take the college examination and get the reputation of a scholar, otherwise I will still be driven to the prison."

He licked the fragments on the corners of his lips, and his eyes fell on the ninth sister.

The ninth sister lowered her eyes and squeezed her lips tightly until Xia Houchen left at noon, but this time passed so long that every moment was like a year.

Back to the temple, the fourth sister went to her second aunt first, and the ninth sister went to the Zen room with a painting screen. She saw Yao's mother and Deng's mother laughing, and quickly greeted her and said hello, "Mother Deng is well!"

Mother Deng quickly got out of her way and said with a smile, "Sister Jiu is polite. I am a servant. How can I accept your courtesy?"

The ninth sister smiled and said, "You are the old man of Xuefu, and naturally you can stand it."

"You laughed, but I just talked to Yao's mother about you. By the way, the second wife asked you to come back and go to her!"

"What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, but the second wife has been in a good mood recently, and she is in the important place of Buddhism. Maybe it's a matter for you to make up with your sixth sister."

"Well, I know. You can talk to Yao's mother first, and I'll take the picture screen." The ninth sister nodded and asked the painting screen to give it to Yao's mother, and then walked to the yard where the second wife lived.

It's just that the temple is too big, so the ninth sister found a small sami to lead the way.

As soon as I arrived at the yard, I saw the second wife talking to an old monk. The second wife sometimes smiled happily and nodded constantly, very respectfully to the old monk.

"That's the host of our temple!" Just as Sister Jiu was wondering whether to go in or not, Xiao Shami suddenly said, "The host of our temple is very good. He can not only preach the scriptures, but also save all sentient beings."

Little Shami showed envy.

"You can be like the host when you grow up."

"That's right. In the future, I will also become a Taoist monk like a host." Little Shami raised her nose and said confidently.

"Let's go in." The ninth sister motioned to draw a screen.

Little Sami put her hands together and saluted the ninth sister and said in a tender voice, "The little monk leaves first."

Liu's mother's eyes are sharp and she has seen the ninth sister for a long time. She walked to the ninth sister and whispered, "Please wait a moment."

Nine looked at it, nodded kindly, and asked in a low voice, "Mother Liu, do you know what's wrong with your second aunt asking me to come over?"

"Ninth sister, don't worry, it must not be a bad thing." She secretly glanced at the second wife and said carefully, "You just went out to play with the fourth sister, but you have to be careful of the fourth sister. Although she is the same for everyone, in fact, she has been instructed by the second aunt. You don't know what she thinks. Maybe I told my second aunt what happened to you now.

You don't need Liu's mother to remind the ninth sister to know this, but it's not a big deal even if the second aunt knows about today.

"The second wife asked the host about some fortune this year and some things about Xue's family. You also know that our Xue family's men are not prosperous..."

Within before Liu's mother continued talking, the ninth sister knew what Liu's mother meant, and the second wife came to ask for a son.

Before long, the host stood up and became magnetic to the second wife. The second wife had a good face, but now she is in a good mood and looks particularly energetic.

When she personally sent the host out of the yard, she looked at Sister Jiu's eyes with a little kindness.

"Walk with me in the temple!"

The second wife did not lead the ninth sister, but left the yard first. The ninth sister also followed, still uneasy.

"I heard from Mother Deng that you went to play in the back mountain with your fourth sister today. As soon as the back mountain of Pudu Temple comes to spring, many tourists come for an outing."

"Well, my fourth sister asked me to go to the temple tomorrow." Sister Jiu replied respectfully.

"The girls like to visit the temple fair. Go ahead. Then the third sister and the sixth sister will also go. You sisters will be lively, so as not to be idle in the temple." The second wife said kindly.

The ninth sister wondered, when was the second wife so generous?

She continued: "When I was on the mountain, I met a man named Li Yi. He said it was my cousin. It was brought by my second brother-in-law.

The second wife suddenly stopped, took another step, and walked gently. "There is indeed a prince named Li Yi in the Li family who makes friends with the prince. He is also your cousin."

Sister Jiu'er shook her head, "As soon as he came, he said that he was Jiu'er's cousin, and Jiu'er thought he was a disciple!"

Sister Jiu said this just to show that she is not familiar with the Li family and has a bad impression of the Li family. In this way, she is a member of the Xue family.

Sure enough, when she heard this, the second wife's attitude was more kind. "After all, it's your grandmother's. It's not easy to come to Chang'an. It's a good treat."

The ninth sister stopped talking, but the second wife was very interested. "I just talked with the abbot for a long time and asked the third sister about her birthday. Your relationship with the third sister was originally good, but the relationship was so stiff because of the sixth sister, but the third sister will get married soon.

"Is the third sister's marriage settled?" Sister Jiu was stunned. Since she fell out of favor in front of the old lady, she seemed to be isolated from the world, but the marriage was set too fast.

"Yes, it's a marriage chosen by the old lady, and the door is right." The second wife was a little sad, as if she was talking to herself: "The third sister and the sixth sister fell from me, and the palms and backs of hands are full of meat. As a mother, it is really difficult for me to do. Everything in this house is helped by the third sister. After she got married, there was really no one around me.

"You still have six sisters."

The second wife shook her head, "The sixth sister was spoiled by me, but the fourth sister. Although she is not down-to-earth, she is actually very delicate, like the second aunt. Unfortunately, my biological mother is my second aunt.

The ninth sister can't tell whether this sentence is praising the fourth sister or hurting the second aunt.

The second wife suddenly stopped and looked at the ninth sister, "Although I'm just your aunt, I still have to say something you don't want to hear. Being a woman is to become a virtuous assistant of your husband. It is certain to manage the house, and you have to deal with your parents-in-law. Your marriage was decided by your eldest brother and sister-in-law. I don't have to worry about it, but I have to worry more about your upbringing.

"Jiu'er knows your intentions."

The second wife suddenly smiled and stopped talking about those serious questions. "When I was in private school, I listened to Liu Fuzi's class. Although our daughter who went out of Xue's house is not a talented woman, she can also recite poems and can't lose face outside."

"Jiu'er will follow the teachings of her second aunt."

The second wife's eyes were bent, "As for Yang Qian, do you think it's the person your second uncle like?" Before Sister Jiu's answer, the second wife said, "Unfortunately, she is too cowardly, otherwise she can really marry a daughter in the family."

The ninth sister raised her eyebrows. What does the second wife mean? Doesn't the second uncle like Yang Qian's future? So why on earth did Yang Qian go to a private school in Xuefu?

"You just treat Yang Qian as an ordinary person, and your mother won't object. Yang Qian is a good boy.

The ninth sister didn't understand even more. The second wife suddenly didn't like Yang Qian, but all of a sudden, it made people feel that she was also very optimistic about Yang Qian?

She took a look at Liu's mother who followed her and had a clear mind that it may be difficult for the second wife to say, but Liu's mother, as the person around the second wife, must know that these words should be the second wife to remind Liu's mother, that is, to let Liu's mother tell her.

In the second wife's chatter, the group had actually circled and saw that they were going back to the second wife's yard again. The second wife said, "Go back to rest first. Dinner will be soon. You little girl in the temple must not be used to the simple meal. Remember to go with the third sister and the ninth sister tomorrow. There are a lot of gadgets in the temple fair.

The second wife gave another order before going back with Liu's mother. Soon after, Deng's mother also returned to the second wife's yard. Sister Jiu quickly took the painting screen back to the Zen room and ordered Yao's mother to go to Liu's mother to inquire about Yang Qian.

The second aunt's Zen room.

"Auntie, do you think I should treat Yang Qian better?" The fourth sister opened her eyes wide and didn't believe her ears.

"It's right to listen to my aunt. Since Yang Qian has won the favor of the world, he must have a bright future. Although you still have a few years, you are optimistic about people now. Maybe you can marry him when he is not developed. The second aunt sips the unique bitter tea in the temple, but only a small sip, then pushed it away and frowned. This tea was really bitter.

The fourth sister blushed, but she was very disgusted with the second aunt's arrangement. "What's good about marrying Yang Qian? He wants to have no family background, talent or talent. Even the son of Lord Zhou's family is better than him.

The second aunt shook her head helplessly, but looking at the fourth sister's stubbornness, she obviously couldn't persuade her.

"Auntie won't hurt you!"

"I know that my aunt won't hurt me, but I don't want to live a hard life." The fourth sister said dissatisfiedly. If only I could find a general to be my husband like my eldest sister. No matter how bad it is, I would rather marry the landlord and squire.

"Fourth sister, you have always been obedient and don't be so far away." The second aunt frowned, but her tone was as gentle as usual.

"I'm not so ambitious, that is, you don't fight for what you deserve, and you have been suppressed by your mother. Your identity is not low, but in the end, you haven't even got a wife. Your grandmother is still your own aunt. As long as she nod, how can you worry about my marriage?

"Fourth sister!" The second aunt's face changed and her voice was a little higher.

The fourth sister's words stopped abruptly and looked at the second aunt in a dazziness, but her eyes gradually became wet. "If you don't argue with me, I will fight for it."

After saying that, she ran out of the Zen room sadly.

The second aunt opened her mouth and was a little irritable. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of bitter tea.
