After hearing Xia He's words, Lin Yutong looked at Aunt Chen: "Look...the few masters left in the house want to go out, but how can I stop them? My aunt lives in the house, but going out means that
It's the Qi family. I can stop my aunt from intervening in housework, but I have no right to interfere with the elders. Besides, it's not the way to treat guests when the host stops them when they go out. Do you think this is true?"
This is the logic of course.
But now that you have finished talking about the pros and cons, what else can you say?
Grandma Chen frowned: "What does the girl mean?"
Lin Yutong smiled and said: "If you are really afraid that my aunt will act inappropriately, then it's okay for me and my eldest sister to accompany you. Isn't it approaching my mother's death anniversary? You can't go back to your hometown to pay homage, but you should also light incense sticks in the temple.
"
Mrs. Gan’s death anniversary?
There really hasn't been much done in this house. No one mentioned it, and Madam didn't take the initiative to do anything. It's been so muddle-headed for so many years. But the second girl took the initiative to mention it, this is really something.
Not to mention the second girl should go, the eldest girl, the third girl and Brother Bai all have to go.
When the young master goes out, the only elder aunt left in the family follows him to look after him, so it is no longer out of the ordinary.
But when Nanny Chen was asked to take care of Madam Xian's affairs, she was really afraid that she would not be able to explain things to Madam when she came back, but now she had no choice but to retreat. If she had known this earlier, she would have arranged a car for her eldest aunt directly, and she would have done anything.
It was unnecessary to come over and ask. I was really busy.
Seeing Aunt Chen retreating as if she had eaten a fly, Lin Yutong suddenly became brighter. She waved her hand to Xia He: "Go back to you girls. Get up early tomorrow."
Xia He quickly retreated. This second girl is really amazing. If she goes out under this guise now, her aunt will be disgusted to death.
Jinxiuyuan.
Lin Yuzhi was directing Chunmei to take out all her clothes.
"I remember there was a crimson one, didn't I?" She pointed to the cage, "Look again, look again."
Chunmei looked outside and whispered: "Girl, that crimson dress is Xia Shang. The material is very thin. It's autumn now, and it rained twice again. I won't go out until dawn tomorrow. Then
Where can I wear my clothes when I go out?" He didn't wait to die from the cold.
Lin Yuzhi suddenly felt a little discouraged and gritted his teeth and said: "Then look around, look around again..." As she said that, she looked at it for herself and found that the colors of the clothes she found were either too heavy or too light, and none of them suited her liking. She remembered that in her previous life,
Qi Duoer had also gone out at this time, and seemed to have gone to Ci'an Temple. That day, when she went out, she wore a crescent-white jacket, a crimson dress, and a bright yellow cloak.
She could no longer remember the embroidery pattern on the clothes, but she could never forget the translucent color. But when she came back, she was wrapped in a large black cloak embroidered with cloud patterns. Later, he saw
Jin Shouren had a box of such cloaks. At that time, she suspected that something must have happened between the two of them at Ci'an Temple. Therefore, she must keep a close eye this time.
The master and servant looked through it for a long time before digging out an old piece of clothing from three years ago from the bottom of the box. It was red in color, but no longer bright. Moreover, the size was also small.
"Forget it, put it away." Lin Yuzhi waved her hand. Even if she dressed the same, she couldn't be her.
When Xia He came back, she saw that the room was in a mess. She smiled and said, "Is it possible that the girl already knew about it and is looking for a plain clothes?"
Lin Yuzhi was stunned: "What plain clothes?"
"The second girl said that Mrs. Xiangan's death anniversary falls within these days, and we will go to Ci'an Temple tomorrow to burn incense sticks." Xia He said, and quickly conveyed to Lin Yuzhi exactly what Lin Yutong said in Yunxia Courtyard.
Lin Yuzhi had a strange look on his face, and it took him a long time to say: "It's good to be in plain clothes! It's good to be in plain clothes!" It seems that some changes are not necessarily bad things.
Even Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out this year's new bamboo-green dress, "Girl, look at this, is this okay?"
What's the point of wearing plain clothes? Lin Yuzhi waved his hand, "Anything will do."
The next day it was still dark, so everyone got up.
The kitchen stayed up all night and cooked the vegetarian soup base all night. Lin Yutong got up in the morning and soaked two pieces of cake to eat.
Lin Fu said in a low voice: "I've asked someone to inquire. It will be late to leave the Duke's mansion."
"Let's leave an hour early." Lin Yutong waved his hand, "It would be too ugly to run after someone else."
Lin Fu quickly agreed and stepped back to ask his aunt and the eldest girl to hurry up.
Lin Yutong finished eating by himself before washing and changing clothes. She wore a plain jacket made of duck egg blue and a black satin skirt. Only a piece of white jade was used to press the corners of the skirt. Her dark hair was braided into a big braid made of silver thread.
The hairband is tied up. There is no other jewelry on the body.
Before going out, Sanxi tied the white cloak on Lin Yutong, and that was all.
But in Lin Yuzhi's eyes, there was still a bit of amazement. She complained to Chunmei: "Look at how people match their clothes, and look at you, it's useless to put any thought into it."
The corner of Chunmei's mouth moved, but she didn't argue. Aunt Ma had collected all the good materials, so what to do with them? Don't look at plain clothes. The more plain the clothes, the better the materials.
The two sisters greeted each other and got on the carriage to wait for Lin Fanghua. However, they didn't expect that Lin Fanghua hadn't gotten up yet.
Lin Fu was a little embarrassed and lowered his head to Lin Yutong: "Why don't you two girls go to the flower hall and wait." After getting up to eat and freshen up, he couldn't leave the house for an hour.
Lin Yutong thought to himself, under the guise of offering incense for the Gan family, Lin Fanghua was not happy. It doesn't matter if you are not happy, just go slowly. She said: "Then let's take a step first, Ci'an Temple is not far away.
You should send more people to look after you." If you are embarrassed behind the Duke's mansion, you can't blame yourself.
Watching the carriage swaying away, Lin Fu sighed in his heart, wondering what the mood of the aunt was at this moment.
Lin Yuzhi looked at Lin Yutong, who was sitting opposite with her eyes closed, and never expected that she was so brave: "Aren't you afraid that the old lady will come back and question you?"
"Ask a question?" Lin Yutong said with a smile, "What are you asking for? Do you blame me for being too sincere in praying for my mother? It is necessary for us as children to be sincere, but I have never heard of a sister-in-law being sincere in praying for her sister-in-law."
But if this spreads out, what will Lin Fanghua's reputation be like? She lives in her parents' home and doesn't even show any respect to her deceased sister-in-law.
But when this was done, Lin Yuzhi felt that she really liked her.
It was already mid-morning when the two of them wandered to Ci'an Temple.
Grandma Chen got off the carriage at the back and asked for a clean small yard before picking up the two girls and getting off the carriage.
Ci'an Temple has a prosperous incense, and the temple is often visited by dignitaries. Therefore, the temple's Buddha statues are built in a magnificent manner.
Lin Yutong came out after breakfast. He was not hungry at the moment, so he wanted to go directly to the quiet room to chant sutras. But Lin Yuzhi touched his stomach and said that he wanted to try the vegetarian food in the temple. It was not a serious meal when he got up early in the morning, but it was
It's just a bowl of thin porridge, two plates of side dishes, and a cage of vegetarian steamed buns. She must be too lazy to go to the Buddha.
That was just right, there was no need to try hard to get rid of her.
When it was almost noon, Sanxi said softly to Lin Yutong, who was kneeling and chanting sutras: "Girl, the people from the Duke's Mansion have arrived, and my aunt should be arriving soon."
Lin Yutong's hand holding the beads shook slightly, not daring to show any other expression, and just asked: "What time is it? Why do I feel hungry?"
"It's noon." Sanxi looked outside, "It's time for lunch."
"Then go out and find a pavilion. Don't pollute the quiet room." Lin Yutong said, stood up, and tried not to be too hasty in his steps.
The fourth master, who had just dismounted, heard Gui Wu whisper: "Master, I just heard that the Lin family is also in the temple today. It is said that several girls are praying for Mrs. Gan."
Mrs. Gan is the biological mother of the second girl, so the second girl must be here.
The Fourth Master was indeed stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, he must have come here for himself. So he nodded, "Tell Guixi to go get Su Zhai, and you can walk with me casually."
When Jin Shouren and Jin Shouli saw that Fourth Master had not followed them, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fourth Master, what are you doing? Aren't you hungry?"
The fourth master waved his hand: "I just walked around, my legs were stiff from riding a horse."
Jin Shouli muttered: "I don't know what I can do. I want to make a carriage, but my father won't let me."
Jin Shouren smiled kindly and said to Fourth Master: "Go then, don't go too far."
The fourth master watched the two people leave and told Gui Wu: "Ask around to find out which place in the temple is the most secluded."
Guiwu was frightened and a little excited. Even if he didn't do this kind of private meeting with a beautiful woman, seeing it with his own eyes was inexplicably exciting. After asking around for a while, he whispered back: "Houshan, Houshan
There is nothing more secluded than a mountain."
The fourth master's footsteps immediately became swift. The mountains behind were jagged with strange rocks, and some stone tables and benches carved from these strange rocks were occasionally placed for pilgrims to rest. Lin Yutong sat in a more conspicuous position, and the fourth master was far away.
I saw the way she was sitting and knew it was her.
Lin Yutong kept looking at the intersection and saw a man in a white robe. Just by looking at his walking posture, he could definitely tell that this was the Fourth Master.
The fourth master's eyes flashed and he said to Guiwu: "There is someone here, let's go over there." He pointed in a direction.
Lin Yutong saw that Sanxi, who was carrying the intersection, didn't notice Fourth Master and others, so he stood up and said, "There are so many people coming and going here, so I feel embarrassed. Let's go inside."
Sanxi was about to say this just now. Seeing that the girl finally realized the problem, he helped her go inside. The direction that the master and servant walked was exactly the direction pointed by the fourth master.
Gui Wu followed the fourth master and walked inside, thinking: Could it be that his young master really didn't come here just for the second girl? Otherwise, why did he see a girl hiding from a distance? Couldn't that be the second girl?
But who would have thought that as soon as he raised his head, he would see the girl coming from the other side, wasn't it the girl he saw just now?
