Chapter six hundred and forty seventh private exchange
Gao MaMa put down the tray in her hand and glanced at Yao Mengxian worriedly.
"My body has recovered. I lie on the bed every day, and my bones are almost falling apart. This time I came to my grandfather's house to stay for a while. If I don't take this opportunity to go out and get some fresh air, I won't be able to do it again when I get back to the Duke's house.
It’s not easy to figure it out.”
As soon as Yao Mengxian talked about the Duke's Mansion, she felt depressed in her heart.
When Lian Xin, who was sewing clothes, heard this, she couldn't help but blame herself again.
"Girl, if the slave hadn't been reckless last time, the girl wouldn't have fallen into the water to save the slave."
Lian Xin bit her lip, the guilt in her heart almost overwhelming her little heart.
"Then you have to think carefully about everything you do in the future. The girl's body is already weak. She fell into the water this time and will have to nurse herself back to health for half a year."
As soon as Gao MaMa heard Lian Xin admit her mistake, she started to criticize her again.
"Okay, even if this matter is over, Lian Xin has been punished. Don't mention it again in the future."
Yao Mengxian couldn't help but feel a headache when she saw these two people bringing up old matters again.
"Who would have thought that the fourth girl would be so arrogant and dare to push the girl into the water." When Lian Xin mentioned the fourth girl Yao Mengdie, she was immediately furious.
Moreover, the eldest lady is so shameless and poisons the girl's incense. She is really a poisonous woman.
However, Lian Xin did not dare to say more. She glanced at Qing Dai who was setting up food in the room, and then turned her attention back to the clothes in her hands.
You still have to be careful, lest disaster comes from your mouth, this girl Qingdai
Yao Mengxian suddenly thought of the news she asked Wan Xiang to inquire about two days ago. She didn't expect Yao Mengdie to be so bold as to dare to talk to her sister's future husband in private.
This was something that had never appeared in her dreams, no! Maybe she just didn't notice it in her dreams.
Yao Mengxian curled her lips slightly, in this case, don't blame her for turning the house upside down, at least the second wife must pay the price for her falling into the water.
And her good stepmother even poisoned her in order to drive her to Zhuangzi. How much did she hate herself?
The fiancé of the second sister Yao Menglian was Yu Ting, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites. As for the person she saw having a tryst with Yao Menglian at the eldest princess's mansion, it was the eldest princess's second son Qin Hui.
She later asked someone to inquire, and found that there were only three people wearing clothes of this color that day. The only one who could walk around the inner courtyard was Qin Hui.
This second sister is very calculating. Qin Hui's wife, Han, is seriously ill and the doctor said she won't survive for a few years.
Mr. Han lingers on the bedside every day, and I heard that things are getting worse recently. I guess her second sister is planning to wait until she dies so that she can become Qin Hui's successor.
Yao Mengxian shook her head, this was too risky.
Not to mention that he is still alive now! Just say that the second uncle is just a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. Even if the eldest princess's house wants to marry Qin Hui, they may not consider the second sister.
The eldest princess seems to be amiable, but in fact she attaches great importance to being a well-matched person.
The reason why the eldest princess was so kind to her during the previous banquet was not only because she pitied her, but also because she was the legitimate daughter of the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Duke's palace.
Some time ago, Yao Mengdie probably got the news from somewhere that her parents were planning to get married to the Yu family and betrothed Yao Menglian to her.
Yao Mengdie started to think about it. Yu Ting's grandfather was the Minister of Rites, so marrying a girl from this family's second wife was considered a high achievement.
So when they went to Baoen Temple to offer incense, the two met.
Yao Mengxian knew that Yao Mengdie must have planned it, and she had to pull her to be a back supporter that day so that she could push her out to jack up the tank in the future.
Fortunately, I felt that she had no good intentions, so I refused.
Otherwise, after this incident comes to light, I will definitely suffer consequences.
This good man sprained his ankle while walking, and his well-worn curtain hat was blown off by the wind, and Yu Ting happened to look at him.
If it weren't for the second-class girl Wensong beside Fourth Girl, who was bribed by him, he wouldn't have known that Fourth Girl had planned such a scheme for Yu Ting, even giving up his reputation.
The two later took the opportunity to meet twice, and she felt that Yao Mengdie was really willing to risk everything.
Yao Mengxian sighed. She originally thought that the fourth girl had not yet figured it out. Who would have thought that she would already know about men and women at such a young age.
Since Yu Ting's grandfather was the Minister of Rites, and his father was also a magistrate, it was not surprising that Yao Mengdie would take a fancy to this marriage.
But she heard that Yu Ting was a libertine who had nothing to do all day long and chased after the oiran of Tianxiang Pavilion every day.
For such a dandy, the two sisters would probably turn against each other.
The two are biological sisters from the same father and mother, and the younger sister actually misses her sister's fiancé.
What a pity! The second sister is so focused on Qin Hui, how could she know what her parents are planning?
However, in the dream, the second sister really married Yu Ting.
Although Qin Hui's wife was weak, she survived for two more years.
Yao Mengxian went through all these things in her mind, then changed her clothes and went to the main room to pay her respects.
"Mom! I heard that Baoen Temple is very popular and the vegetarian dishes in the temple are also very famous. You must try it today. I had asked Ming Mo to book a private room yesterday, so I had to come earlier.
Order, otherwise it won't be our turn." Gu Chengyu sighed to Lu in the carriage.
Many aristocratic families in the capital are regular visitors to Baoen Temple. Those top aristocratic families still have private rooms here and come to stay from time to time.
These people either come to eat fast and chant Buddha's name, or they come to light the everlasting lanterns. In the monastery run by the temple, wives from wealthy families often come to listen to Zen.
When Gu Chengyu asked Ming Mo to book a private room yesterday, there was only one room left. He also exclaimed that it was better to come early than to come by chance.
It was also because today was not a day for the dojo, otherwise they would definitely not be able to book a private room.
"This capital city is so prosperous. Look at the number of people calling here along the way. It's a pity that your father refuses to come. This old man is really stubborn."
Mrs. Lu was a little dissatisfied with the old man's lack of knowledge. His son finally had time to accompany them around the capital, but the old man still stayed in the house and refused to come out.
"Don't you know my father's temper? Besides, my wife and I are here today, so it's not convenient for him to come. In two days, I'll send you to the village to stay for a while. The village is much cooler than the mansion."
Gu Chengyu smiled. His father was interested in farming. There were so many people coming and going in this temple, so his father naturally refused to come.
"Sir! We're here!"
Mingmo sat on the carriage shaft, looking at the high stone steps, the towering peaks, and the people climbing on the stone steps, and couldn't help but feel dizzy.
It's almost the end of September, and it's already autumn. But the autumn season hasn't passed yet, and it's still a bit muggy.
There are also many vendors at the foot of the mountain. There are so many men and women coming and going here that it gradually turns into a small market.
Many people who came to offer incense were picking and choosing in front of these stalls, and the voices of bargaining came and went.
