Early in the morning, Li Yuhua changed into a lotus-colored dress, and just after breakfast, His Highness the Third Prince arrived.
Because he was going to the temple to pay homage to Queen Liu, Li Yuhua said very little along the way, and looked at the third prince worriedly from time to time. Mu Anzhi had been trained by Li Yuhua to accompany Li Yuhua in the car, so he opened the hidden compartment on the car wall, and turned
He gave Li Yuhua a cup of tea and said softly, "My mother has passed away many years ago."
"My mother has been dead for several years." Li Yuhua took the warm tea and felt that her choice of words was not very elegant, so she quickly changed her words, "She passed away."
"Were you still young at that time?"
"Well, I just celebrated my tenth birthday. Fortunately, my mother and Aunt Hongmei are related. Our two families lived next door, and then we lived together." Li Yuhua tried to ask, "When did my mother-in-law die?"
"Twelve years ago."
"Hey, you went earlier than my mother. Third brother, did you have a hard time when you were a child?"
Seeing her careful, worried and considerate look, Mu Anzhi touched her head and said, "It's more difficult for you in the countryside than for me."
"I'm actually fine. I haven't been hungry or cold." Li Yuhua rarely opens her heart to others. She said, "My mother's illness, in fact, if my family had money and could find a good doctor, she might not have passed away so early.
Pass away."
"Do you know why I came to the Imperial Capital? The Xu family sent people to my hometown to look for me and told me that my father was still alive and still a high official. After I verified that they were not liars, I immediately followed them to the Imperial Capital. In fact, I mainly
I want to see what my real father is like, why he is so noble and well-paid, and lives a life of glory and wealth, while my mother and I lived in such misery in the countryside." Li Yuhua held the tea cup in his hand tightly and sighed, "Wait a minute.
When I saw him, I suddenly understood why my mother took me back to her hometown in the first place."
"Shilang Xu may be an outstanding figure in the eyes of others, but maybe my mother thought that it was not worth living with such a person for the rest of her life, and she no longer looked down on him." Li Yuhua took a sip from the tea cup and suddenly expressed a very
He said in an arrogant tone, "If I were asked to spend my whole life with a man I despise, I wouldn't do it."
As the carriage rolled by, Mu Anzhi said, "The lottery in Tianqi Temple is very good. I will draw a lottery to test your marriage."
Li Yuhua looked at Mu Anzhi with a smile, and her gaze slowly slid over Mu Anzhi's elegant and handsome features as if it were tangible. She pursed her lips gently, and her voice sounded like sugar, "You don't need to cast a lottery to know this.
It must be an excellent marriage."
Mu Anzhi rubbed his face, not knowing what to say.
The hustle and bustle of the market and the aroma of food from the morning food stalls floated into the car. Li Yuhua looked at the bustle of the street outside the car through the thin window screen with interest. When he saw Taiping Residence, Li Yuhua
Pointing to the big signboard of Taipingju, he said, "Look! Third brother, Taipingju!"
"I saw it. How about inviting you to eat steamed buns at Taipingju tonight?"
"This is what you said, don't go back on it!"
"Silly girl." Why should I regret eating steamed buns? Mu Anzhi said, "Don't you people in Baijia Village particularly like eating steamed buns?"
"Taipingju's steamed buns are delicious, are they something you can usually eat?"
Mu Anzhi said, "When the crabs are on the market in September, try the crab roe pockets. That will be delicious."
"I know crabs are so big and have hard shells all over them. Is that what they are? They feel similar to tortoises. They have such big hard shells. Where can I eat them?"
Mu Anzhi couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard this lofty argument for the first time. Li Yuhua was not convinced, "What are you laughing at?"
"Have you never eaten crab?"
"No. But I have eaten tortoise. Although it is not unpalatable, I think it is not as economical as stewed meat."
"That's called turtle, turtle."
"It's not the same." Li Yuhua knew that she was probably making a joke, so she said with embarrassment, "I used to be careful about what I said in front of you, Third Brother, for fear that I would say something ignorant and call it a joke. We live here for a long time.
, I’ve said everything since we got acquainted. Third brother, you won’t look down on me, right?”
Mu Anzhi couldn't help laughing, "Stop being so shy. You are such a confident person. You are the boss of God and you are the second child. You are still afraid that I will look down on you. If you don't look down on me, I will thank God."
"How can this be possible? In my heart, third brother, you are not only a good character, but also good-looking and better educated. My confidence is all pretended. In fact, I am too shy."
Mu Anzhi made her laugh again, and Li Yuhua almost laughed at him, so Mu Anzhi could only stop laughing. Xiao Yi, who was driving outside, felt deep in his heart, thinking about all the times his master went to the temple in these years.
They all have dark faces, but now that the prince and concubine are accompanying him, the master's laughter has never stopped. It can be seen that this empress is really married to the right one, and at least it can make the master happy.
Li Yuhua's dowry list was basically complete. It was customary in the imperial family to post dowries. The Xu family specially chose a good day to post the dowry list to relatives and friends. As a result, it happened to be the day when the third prince went to the temple.
Mainly, no one expected that His Highness the Third Prince would take Li Yuhua with him.
The old lady from Mr. Lu’s residence didn’t come. After all, the old lady was old and virtuous and had a distinguished status. Li Yuhua had done several things that brought shame on the Lu family. Mrs. Lu would not rush here to add makeup to her. The female family member was Lu.
Madam takes the lead.
Mrs. Lu Guogong is Mrs. Xu's natal sister-in-law. They have always had a good relationship. They looked at Li Yuhua's dowry while laughing and joking. Mrs. Lu said, "It's really complete. The old lady took a lot of trouble."
Mrs. Xu pointed at Mrs. Xu and said, "My daughter-in-law is in charge of everything. I am no longer useful when I am old. I have to rely on my daughter-in-law for everything in the family."
Xu Huiran and Xu Wanran were chatting with each other, and other relatives could not stop praising the generous preparation of the dowry. The Xu family is the residence of the minister, not a wealthy family, so the dowry was obviously made with great effort. Mrs. Xu paid special attention to Xu
The wife took it out and praised it, Mrs. Lu smiled, and her relatives also praised the good preparation of the dowry.
Mrs. Lu asked, "Why haven't you seen the eldest girl in the house?"
Mrs. Lu said, "It's no coincidence that today the three princes went to the temple and took Yuhua with them."
Madam Lu covered her lips and said with a smile, "It is said in the imperial capital that His Highness the Third Prince and the eldest girl are in love with each other. It is indeed well-deserved. It can be seen that the two of them are in love."
"I also said so. His Highness the Third Prince always comes over to talk to Yuhua every now and then." Mrs. Xu smiled, "I don't know how we got along so well."
The women all said that Miss Xu was so lucky. Mrs. Lu smiled and took a sip of tea. "From time to time, Ci'en Palace would give snacks and fruits, and His Highness would help bring them. Grandma Sun and His Highness also recognized each other. Grandma Sun
Let me accompany you and talk."
When relatives and friends came over, the Xu family would naturally hold a banquet to entertain them. In the afternoon, Mrs. Lu went to Mrs. Xu's house to rest, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law also talked. It is now early July, the heat of summer is gone, and the coolness of autumn is beginning to come.
The maid closed the window that had been opened in the morning and stood waiting outside with her hands down. Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Lu, and her sister-in-law were leaning on the couch in the inner room and talking. Mrs. Lu said, "Your old lady is quite partial to the eldest girl."
"That girl is good at coaxing. Not only the old lady, but also my husband-in-law gave her a piece of the family's land, which totaled 500 acres. It was all fertile farmland in the suburbs." Mrs. Xu said, "I really made a mistake at the beginning."
"Did you go to the temple with the Third Highness?"
"I left early in the morning. I just went out with His Highness the Third Prince."
"Even though she is a country girl, she is really capable. I heard that your eldest daughter often goes to the evening market with His Highness the Third Prince."
"That's more than that. Even today, I will definitely not go home until dark." Mrs. Xu sat up a little and took a sip of tea. "I often go out with His Highness the Third Highness. I always leave early in the morning and come back in the dark. I would say, this way
It’s not good. After all, we haven’t gotten married yet. How can a girl’s family stay out with boys like this day in and day out? But the old lady doesn’t care, and my husband doesn’t say anything. As a stepmother, I’m afraid people will pick on me.
, I can’t say even more.”
Mrs. Lu snorted with a half-smile, with a little disdain, or a little bit of envy that cannot be told, "Is this a special sign of being born? I want to see how beautiful she is when she comes back, and why she is so charming."
, can subdue the third prince."
"Sister-in-law, don't make me laugh." Mrs. Xu dropped the tea cup and leaned back, "If she is a beauty, there is nothing less beautiful than her. Wanran often said that it would be dark at night, and if she didn't carry a lantern, she might not be able to find her.
big sister."
"So dark?"
"She was born with dark flesh and skin. Her eyebrows and eyes look a bit like my husband's, but she doesn't have double eyelids like my husband. That girl has thin eyelids, which makes her eyes look a bit small. To be honest, I can't guess why the third prince behaves like this.
Eye to eye."
"This is even better." Mrs. Lu said, "If you think about it, is it unusual for beautiful children to be attracted by others? How clever it is for someone with an ordinary appearance to be so lovable."
"I didn't use Ji Ling here."
"Why, she doesn't treat you respectfully?" Mrs. Lu asked.
"It's not that I'm disrespectful, but I'm not very respectful either. Hey, we don't see each other that often. Even Huiran Wanran doesn't pay much attention to her. She only focuses on learning the rules. To be honest with my sister-in-law, since she came to the imperial capital, she has been...
You haven't even set foot in my yard, let alone said hello in the morning and evening." Mrs. Xu laughed at herself, "It's just a matter of saying something when we meet, and not saying anything if we don't meet."
"After all, she is the one who wants to be the prince's concubine. Besides, she has no grudges in her heart about her mother's affairs. Don't take it too seriously, sister. She will be leaving home in early August. From now on, she will be out of sight."
Mrs. Lu asked, "How come your family has been wearing makeup so long?"
"My sister-in-law doesn't know what my family's background is? Don't talk about our family, I'm afraid even the Lan family can't compare. Now that it's exposed, it won't compare to your two, and my relatives and friends will think it's pretty good. After you two finish exposing it,
How can I show off at home?"
Mrs. Lu couldn't help laughing, "This must be my brother-in-law's idea."
"Sister-in-law is really amazing at guessing."
Mrs. Lu said, "Ayun's makeup show-off ceremony is scheduled for the first day of August, so you can come then."
"You don't need to tell us that we are going too. The old lady has already asked me to prepare."
Looking at the Yanyan Ancient Temple built against the mountain in front of her, Li Yuhua wiped the sweat from her forehead. There was no way to ride a horse or car on the mountain. Li Yuhua climbed up with Mu Anzhi on two legs. She had a good footwork, but she was still covered in sweat.
, breathing slightly.
Tianqi Temple is a quiet ancient temple, and there are also pilgrims who come to offer incense. Because it is outside the city and in the mountains, there are not many pilgrims.
Mu Anzhi supported Li Yuhua, and Xiao Yi looked at him. He first went to the temple to ask for a room to rest in the incense room. Grandma Sun was getting older and was very tired, so she relied on Yun Yan for support. The temple was very fond of Mu Anzhi.
They were familiar with each other, and soon they packed up some plain fragrant tea and sent it to them. Li Yuhua directly asked Grandma Sun and Yunyan to rest in the second room, so that they could feel comfortable whether they were sitting for a while, or drinking tea and eating snacks.
Li Yuhua was not restrained, poured two cups of tea, took the rice cake from Mu Anzhi and started eating.
After taking a short rest, Li Yuhua and Mu Anzhi went to pay homage to Lady Liu's tomb. Li Yuhua muttered a lot of words to Lady Liu, and even asked Lady Liu to bless her and the Third Highness in heaven.
.
After paying homage to the deceased, Mu Anzhi took Li Yuhua to walk around the temple. At Li Yuhua's request, he also visited the courtyard where Mu Anzhi lived. What Mu Anzhi talked about the most was the days he spent with Pei Ruyu and where they were.
Study under a tree, meditate on a rock, practice martial arts in the morning.
"Ru Yugang was often sick when he came here. Since he met me, his health has gotten better day by day."
"You are more effective than medicine." Li Yuhua asked, "Are you okay now?" She, Sister Muxiang, should not marry a medicine pot.
"Now he doesn't even sneeze for a whole year. His body and bones are better than mine."
"Third brother, where can I ask for a signature?"
"Of course it's the main hall."
Mu Anzhi took Li Yuhua over. Li Yuhua was indeed a man who boasted about his strong fortune to Mu Anzhi. He shook the lottery tube again and again, and finally got a red lottery. Li Yuhua picked it up and took a look, and immediately smiled like a big peony, triumphantly.
Pass it to Mu Anzhi.
Mu Anzhi took it and saw two lines of poetry on it: Peonies are the only true national beauty, and they move the capital when they bloom.
The sign is: Peony, the king of flowers. Those who get this sign will be honored and honored, and they will be honored and distinguished.
Just as Mu Anzhi was about to praise him a few words, he saw Li Yuhua with a bright black face and two beautiful eyebrows raised high. He didn't need to be praised, but he already looked scornful of the world and looked down upon the world.
Dese's appearance can blind people's eyes.
Mu Anzhixin said, even if I touch my conscience, I can't see any sign that this girl is precious from her hair to her heels!
