Yanmenchun

Chapter 34

After eating breakfast, Shen Tuchan accompanied the old lady to wander around the temple, and Fang took her two daughters to ask for a lottery.

This season is not the time when incense is at its peak, and there are not many people. As the old lady walked, she told Shen Tuchan about her family going to the temple to offer incense when she was a girl.

The old lady spoke happily, but Shen Tuchan just listened quietly and didn't interrupt.

When she walked to the gazebo where she played yesterday, the old lady sat down in the gazebo, took Shen Tuchan's hand and let Shen Tuchan sit next to her, she said earnestly: "Sister Chan, you are too thoughtful."

Shen Tuchan looked up at her, her eyes were indifferent and clear.

The old lady stroked Shen Tuchan's hair, and sighed: "I lost my father in middle age and lost my son in my old age. I have survived them all. One will encounter many hurdles in one's life. You can't get stuck there and never go out again. If you want to go out, you have to go through countless hurdles in your life. We, Sister Chan, are a good girl. In the future, we will find a good husband, and we will have a full family of children and grandchildren. Your parents will be happy for you when they see it in heaven."

Shen Tuchan looked at her and nodded, with a little attachment in her eyes, she answered the old lady seriously: "Grandmother, I will pass that hurdle, don't worry, my parents are watching me in the sky."

Will get over that, no matter how many years it takes.

Shen Tuchan was afraid that the old lady would be sad, so she smiled and said that the environment here is clean and suitable for drinking tea here. Anyway, it's still early, so she and Xiaoman went to get some tea and fruit, and accompanied the old lady here.

The old lady was immediately amused, she was accompanied by Madam Kong, she smiled and told her and Xiao Man to go back quickly.

The side room is next to the temple, and the tea and fruits brought from home are collected by Chunfen, and Chunfen should pack things back in the side room.

Just when Shen Tuchan was about to turn around and ask Xiaoman which room they lived in, she saw a woman in light yellow dress leading a man hurriedly passing by a row of corridors next to her, and entered one of the rooms. Wing.

She is a martial arts practitioner, her eyesight and hearing are better than others, just now the man was wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and was wearing a short jacket. It looked like he was walking around all the year round, either a groom or a messenger runner.

The woman in the goose yellow dress walked lightly, with a slender figure, with a gold hairpin on her head, she looked like a lady from a rich family.

Shen Tuchan stopped and hid to the side, the woman came out quickly, looked around and left in a hurry.

Xiao Man looked at Shen Tuchan with some doubts: "Miss, do you know that woman?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head: "I don't know him, I always feel familiar, but he is quite courageous, and sneaked into the temple secretly."

Seeing that she was interested, Xiao Man said, "Do you want this servant to inquire about it?"

Shen Tuchan nodded and said: "Go to the front and ask, who is that woman in light yellow clothes, I always feel that I have seen her somewhere."

Xiaoman nodded and pointed to Shentuchan's side room at the vernal equinox, and then left quickly.

Shen Tuchan stood there for a while and saw that no one was coming in or out, so she went to find the spring equinox, and the two of them quickly brought out the tea fruit.

As soon as she left the door, Xiao Man came back. She took a breath and said to Shen Tuchan: "Miss, we are really acquaintances. At Miss Sisi's banquet last time, that Miss Yan who played a strange musical instrument was from her family."

Yan Xin?

The Yan family doesn't have anyone with a high official position, but they have a good reputation among scholars.

Shen Tuchan put the tea bag in Xiaoman's hand and asked, "Is Miss Yan here?"

"Come on, I saw her in the main hall just now, that woman seems to be her sister, she is with her." Xiaoman nodded like a rattle.

Shen Tuchan suddenly had a strange guess in her heart, she turned her head to the spring equinox and said, "Go straight along the path over there, and after a while you will see a gazebo, you can accompany the old lady to make tea for a while, Said that I met a good friend and was stopped by her to say a few words."

The spring equinox answered seriously, and left with the tea fruit in hand.

It had been planned for a long time for Yan Xin to come out to offer incense. The empress was still not sure about her entry into the East Palace.

A few days ago, the empress suddenly announced her entry into the palace, and told her about it face to face, and it was considered a deal.

Yan Xin was very happy in her heart, but she decided to come to the temple to worship for peace of mind, hoping that the Buddha would bless the prince to like her.

Accompanying her is her own elder sister, Yan Rou.

Yan Rou is a widow. She was originally engaged to be a student of Yan's father. The student's family was clean and she was very motivated in her studies. However, before Yan Rou passed the door, the student fell ill and died.

Yan Xin felt sorry for her sister, so she often persuaded her to go out for a walk to relax.

Unexpectedly, Yan Rou only stayed for a while and said: "Xin'er, I'm a little dizzy, I want to rest for a while."

Yan Xin turned around and helped her with great concern: "Then you go and rest quickly, I'll go and untie the lottery, and I'll find you after I'm done."

Yan Rou nodded and was helped away by the maid.

Yan Xin's maid next to her was a little unhappy: "You kindly take care of the eldest lady, but the eldest lady doesn't appreciate it at all."

Yan Xin turned her head and stared at the maidservant. She actually understood why her sister was like this. Her sister didn't want to marry her father's student, but her father fixed her sister's marriage with a word from her parents and a matchmaker.

And her?She has been sweet-talked and quick-witted since she was a child. She wanted to enter the Eastern Palace, but her father disagreed at first, but after she showed her face in front of the empress and was praised, her father changed his mind. She then secretly persuaded her mother to help her. She made peace in front of her father, and only with her mother's help did his father mention her in front of the prince.

My elder sister felt that her parents were biased, and her elder sister felt that she married better than her. Yan Xin didn't think so. All of this was earned by herself, whether it was the title of the most talented woman in the capital city or the opportunity to enter the East Palace.

Yan Xin was about to look for Yan Rou after unwrapping the sign, when she saw Yan Rou's maid approaching, she said with a smile: "Second Miss, Eldest Miss is afraid that you won't be able to find a room, so let me pick you up."

Yan Xin nodded, but there was something strange in her heart, didn't my sister not want to pay attention to her?
In the morning of early winter in the capital, the sun was warming, and the maid who had just left the main hall suddenly said: "My servant suddenly remembered that when the eldest lady came out, she asked me to stop by and ask the masters for some tea. The tea kettle in the wing room was empty. of."

Yan Xin was taken aback and said, "Then let my maid go."

Then he turned around and asked the maid to go to the monk in the temple to ask for some tea.

As soon as Shen Tuchan stopped on the stone road, she saw a maid leading Yan Xin over, she smiled and took a step towards them, and said with a blessing: "Miss Yan, long time no see."

Yan Xin replied with a blank smile: "Miss Shentu, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Shen Tuchan explained with a smile: "I am here with my grandmother to worship the Buddha, where is Miss Yan going?"

Shen Tuchan could see clearly, the maid leading Yan Xin pinched her fingers unconsciously, Yan Xin pointed to the wing in front and said: "I came here with my sister, she is not feeling well, I'll go and have a look."
