Inheritance policy

Chapter 21

The hem skirt that Xing Ming was wearing today was so long that he almost stepped on the corner of the skirt when he went up the stairs, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.Jinmei behind her has sharp eyes and quick hands, and supports her.

Huang Sanniang chuckled, causing the second lady who was talking in front to turn her head, and asked with some reproach: "Why don't you be careful!"

Xingming blushed and didn't make a sound, but Mrs. Huang smiled and opened her mouth: "When we were young, we would also like to wear long skirts. The ones with loose sleeves and long sleeves look good."

Seeing Mrs. Huang say such words, the second lady smiled more sincerely, and embraced Mrs. Huang affectionately. The second lady was thin and tall, and Mrs. Huang was a bit short and fat. After saying something, both of them laughed happily.

However, Xingzhao noticed that Mr. Huang's eyes had not moved away from Mrs. Huang for a long time. Mr. Mr. Xiao's original calm expression finally broke, and was replaced by bewilderment and grievance.

The one hundred and eight steps of the stairs are long or short, and after a stick of incense, a group of people finally climbed up to the treasure hall.

Master Dingyun led the female relatives to burn incense in the main hall first, Mrs. Tai asked for 20 taels of gold to be used as incense money for next year, Master Dingyun accepted it with a smile, and led everyone to the inner wing, Said: "I'm afraid Mrs. Huang has been waiting for some time."

Mrs. Huang's face turned blushing immediately. Her mother-in-law always does things as she pleases, and she was originally asked to wait for the He family together, but she didn't, and said very stubbornly, "Our family is looking after our daughter-in-law. How can we let the old mother-in-law be here?" The next reason is waiting. She is not married yet, and she is about to marry, so do you want me to pay her respects?" She didn't even think about it, it was the Huang family who looked at the daughter-in-law, but what kind of lintel was the He family? , What is the family background of Huang's family, and what's wrong with showing a good posture.Mrs. He is here today, it is a great deal of face to the Huang family, what is the reason for asking Mrs. He to meet her in the wing.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tai replied: "I just heard that Mrs. Huang came here on crutches today. I'm afraid she was tormented by the lawsuit a few days ago?"

The last sentence was asking Mrs. Huang. Mrs. Huang had a money lawsuit with her natal nephew some time ago. I'm afraid there are not many families in Ding capital who don't know about it.Mrs. Huang's face was hot, as if someone had slapped her in the face, but Mrs. Tai dared not answer her question: "My natal nephew is not filial. Mother is more sad."

Mrs. Tai smiled noncommittally, she didn't say anything more, and everyone didn't answer, only Huang Sanniang wanted to speak angrily, but was stopped by Mr. Huang Xiaolang.

The green light rings the bell, the vines are green, and you turn into the depths of the temple. The rooms inside are uniformly blue in color. Master Dingyun stops at the door of the second room, folds his hands and bids his way back: "Amitabha, it's icy and snowy outside, The wing room is warm. If Mr. Huang Xiaolang has nothing to do, it is not a bad idea to go and talk with Master Jing."

After all, there are two young ladies who have not left the court, and it seems a little inappropriate for Huang Xiaolang, who is already twelve or thirteen years old, to be in the same room with them.Master Jingyi is a well-known eminent monk at the top of Dingguo Temple, who is proficient in Buddhism, metaphysics and logic.When Huang Pei heard this, he was overjoyed. After saying goodbye to the women behind him, he followed Mrs. Dingyun to the back of the Buddhist temple.

After Mrs. Dingyun and Huang Pei left, Mrs. Huang went up to touch the curtain on tiptoe.Once inside, the heating is plentiful, and you can smell the mellow sandalwood Buddha fragrance.There was an old lady in her early fifties, wearing a grape-purple gold flat jacket, white and fat, with small eyes, leaning on an old wooden Taishi stool. Seeing someone coming, she leaned on crutches and slowly got up.

"Your legs and feet are not good, just rest on the kang, it's okay." Mrs. Tai spoke first.

Mrs. Huang smiled, and did not reply after seeing the ceremony, but her eyes were fixed on the two young ladies standing at the end. The older one looked eleven or twelve years old, with almond eyes and long eyelashes, white lips and red lips. Standing straight, the elder didn't know how to avoid his eyes when he looked over, Mrs. Huang felt a little displeased.Then he glanced at the seven or eight-year-old girl next to her. She was born very well, with a small round face and a smile at the corner of her mouth. Most importantly, her eyes were clear and her attitude was restrained. on gladiolus leaves.

"These two are the young ladies of the He family, right? Who is San Niang and who is Si Niang?"

Mrs. Huang was asking questions knowingly, and heard her elders mentioning herself, but Xing Zhao and Xing Ming couldn't help but come forward and answer.

"See Mrs. Huang's Ann, the junior is He Sanniang and He Xingming, this is Xingming's fourth younger sister."

Between the two of them, Xingming answered the conversation on his behalf.

Mrs. Huang asked them to help them up, and another person gave them a jade-embedded tassel and a pair of old silver-wrapped white jade bracelets. After Xing Zhao and Xing Ming thanked her, she asked where she had read, daughter. Can you embroider screens on the red screen, what a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Xingming replied one by one: "Xingming has read the four books, and the fourth sister is still reading "Mencius" in red. She can embroider small handkerchiefs, and she is still learning the golden needle method."

Before she could finish her answer, Mrs. Huang laughed lightly and said, "I just learned the flat gold needle method? Our San Niang is about the same age as you, and now I can embroider striped and gold silk pillow covers."

Huang Sanniang followed Mrs. Huang, and leaned forward involuntarily after hearing this, with a look of color on her brows.

Xingming didn't know how to answer the words, so he turned his head and looked at the second lady. The second lady was about to open her lips, when she heard Mrs. Tai slowly say: "Empress He of the Bingde Dynasty once left a four-character family name for our family. The last word, the word "Xun", means "dangerous behavior and humble speech", which means to be upright and modest in speech. The Huang family passed down their poems and books, but it can't be seen in the old sister."

Mrs. Huang put her crutch on the ground with a bang.Mrs. Huang trembled, feeling remorse in her heart, afraid of losing such a good marriage, and even more afraid that Brother Pei would be assigned to her niece by her mother-in-law at the discretion of her mother-in-law. Interrupting with the second wife: "When it comes to Empress He of the Bingde Dynasty, I have to mention the vegetarian food in Dingguo Temple. I heard that Empress He's favorite food is the vegetarian three treasures in Dingguo Temple. Is it true or false?"

The second madam was angry, and she admired Mrs. Tai's sophistication. Before she had seen Mrs. Huang, she was able to tell her straight away, and turned around to turn a blind eye to Mrs. Huang.The eldest lady is kind, and helped to smooth things over: "Empress He is our grand-aunt in this generation. I don't know if grand-aunt likes to eat vegetarian three delicacies. But I know that the second lady likes to eat it."

Mrs. Huang laughed, looked at the second lady who turned around and focused on the bodhi tree in the corner, her mouth was astringent, and when she thought of the scene where Mrs. Huang's niece married in, she panicked and lowered her posture to coax the second lady : "That's really a blind man bumping into the word "Fu", luck has come, just in time, I ordered Su Sanzhen today! Two old ladies, the first lady and the second lady please go to the compartment!" Then he went Pulling the second wife, the second wife looked at Mrs. Tai with the same expression as usual, and she couldn't put on a show anymore.

A group of people sat around a table and ordered the famous vegetarian dish of Dingguo Temple. Although it was not meaty, it was also delicious.

Mrs. Tai is calm, her mouth is choked, and she can still joke and chat with a calm expression.Mrs. Huang only ate the dishes laid out in front of her, and did not respond.Mrs. Huang was active for a meal, and Mrs. Huang sometimes had fun, but eating was not dull.

After lunch, Huang Sanniang wanted to see the murals of Buddha statues. Mrs. Huang couldn't resist, so she asked her close mother to follow, and called Xing Zhao and Xing Ming to ask if they wanted to go together. Some are eager to try.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tai smiled and told: "If you want to go and have a look, you can go. There are not many outsiders in this Buddhist temple today, just wear a drapery hat."

Xingming responded with a smile, pulled Xingming and walked out.

On the bamboo forest corridor, I ran into Mr. Huang Xiaolang who was coming towards me. Huang Sanniang walked in front, and quickly walked towards the elder brother, and said angrily: "Brother, why didn't the general eat vegetarian food with us? "

Mr. Huang Xiaolang saw Xingming and Xingzhao who were wearing veiled hats following behind him. After being slightly startled, he bowed and said, "Master Jing Yitai's Buddhist teachings are mysterious. When Pei talked with him, I forgot the time. Wan Wang Don't blame Pei for his neglect, you two young ladies."

Xingming didn't expect Mr. Huang Xiaolang to apologize to her, so he turned sideways to avoid the ceremony, and quickly waved his hands: "No problem, no problem, have you had your lunch yet?"

"Never. After listening to the teacher's words, it's like drinking the nectar of Qiongzhi, and I don't feel hungry at all." Huang Xiaolang stood up straight and spoke in a warm voice.

Xingzhao watched coldly from the side, Huang Pei might not have the intention to marry Xingming, avoiding the female relatives and hiding in Master Jing's house can be said to be clever and interesting, but bowing to Xingming to make amends is obviously I have a good impression.He may not have a good impression of Xingming, but he doesn't dislike the marriage.
