Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 182 Shangshangji Sign (Part [-])
When Xiang Lengmei waited for the maid to bring the spicy duck neck, she seemed to be greedy and took one first. The spicy taste was just right, and it was really more delicious than eating chicken legs.

When Li Mingjing saw that such a refined fairy, she picked up the neck of the duck so unrestrainedly and gnawed it, her lips were covered with chili seeds, she was so greedy, she was really cute.

Seeing him staring at her and smiling, Xiang Lengmei wiped her lips with a handkerchief, took a sip of wine, then frowned and looked at him and said, "I'm kind enough to drink with you to relieve your worries, so it's fine if you don't say thank you." What, you still want to eat alone?"

"Don't dare, how dare I compete with you for spicy food?" Li Mingjing really likes this spicy food, especially after Baiweiju has produced chili, he has to take care of it from time to time Gu Xiangsi's restaurant business is down.

Xiang Lengmei eats this spicy duck neck, it doesn't mean that she really likes it, but Li Mingjing likes it, she always prepares these spicy foods in Anxiang Xiaozhu, and she is afraid of making Li Mingjing suspicious, so she keeps pretending that she Just a spicy eater.

But Li Mingjing didn't know that Xiang Lengmei was not a spicy person at all. A person with a cold temperament like her always prefers light food, and this kind of stimulating food would only be eaten with him.

"Try this Sophora japonica wine, it's very elegant!" Xiang Lengmei is the best at brewing all kinds of flower wine, so, throughout the year, most literati like to come to her to drink flower wine.

However, when people talked about drinking flower wine, they were misunderstood by many people, and they misunderstood that Anxiang Xiaozhu was a place where all kinds of filth were hidden.

Even Li Mingjing was misunderstood, he was just a womanizer who was fascinated by Xiang Lengmei.

But anyone who has been to Anxiang Xiaozhu knows that Xianglengmei only sells wine, and occasionally holds a poetry meeting, which is extremely elegant!

Moreover, Anxiang Xiaozhu is also very quiet and elegant. When many people are upset, they also like to come here to drink and hide away.

For example, Li Mingjing, didn't he come to hide today?

Xiang Lengmei drank a few glasses of wine with Li Mingjing, and then asked someone to remove the wine and replace it with jasmine green tea.

"Leng Mei, your place is really a good paradise, what a pity! I, a layman, will eventually return to the world of mortals." Li Mingjing was also a little drunk, he drank tea to refresh his mind, and took a mouthful of stimulation The spicy duck neck, um!This time I was really sober.

"If Mr. Li likes it, you can pack up the remaining three duck necks and leave! Anxiang Xiaozhu will not be entertaining guests today, and after three days, if Mr. Li is free, come and participate in the Yulan Poetry Fair!" It's impossible for Xiang Lengmei to stay here with Li Mingjing for too long, after all, there is still a recovering Xia Jinhua in Anxiang Xiaozhu.

"The Magnolia Poetry Festival in three days? Well, if I have time, I will come and have a look." After all, Li Mingjing is an official ordered by the court, and most of the time, he can't help himself.

Therefore, for the Yulan Poetry Meeting, he really didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to come to the appointment.

Xiang Lengmei got up with a flick of her sleeves, looked at Li Mingjing who was smiling casually, and said with a shallow smile: "Okay, Lengmei will be waiting for you when the time comes, I hope Mr. Li can come...go to the appointment."

"Well, as long as there is nothing too serious to hold me back, I will definitely come to the poetry meeting." Li Mingjing got up and gave her a clear smile. It was really Aying who packed up the remaining three duck necks and took them away.

Xiang Lengmei sent Li Mingjing's master and servant away from Anxiang Xiaozhu, watching the carriage slowly drive into the distance, she lost her mind for a moment, but was woken up by a sudden gust of wind.

No!She couldn't be soft-hearted towards Li Mingjing, otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the task the master gave her.

If she can't complete this task, her best friend will be sent to the lowest brothel by the master, where she will be ruined to death.

Shaoyao, I will definitely complete the mission and let the master give you to me. Even if you are wronged to be a handmaid by my side, it is better than being sent to such a dirty place.

The maid followed behind Xiang Lengmei, and after the master and servant entered, they closed the door of Anxiang Xiaozhu.

Xiang Lengmei returned to Bingxueju where Xia Jinhua lived, and personally fed him a bowl of soup. After Xia Jinhua slept peacefully, she began to make arrangements to erase the traces left by Xia Jinhua as soon as possible. Build it.

……

Taiqing Temple

Gu Xiangsi and the others went to Taiqing to watch incense, but met Li Mingjing's mother and sister.

Madam Li's complexion was very bad, and Li Siyan kept comforting her mother, as if she was saying something like "Second brother went too far this time, look how angry he is."

Ning Yezi pulled them into hiding, and did not meet Li Siyan's mother and daughter face to face.

After Li Siyan's mother and daughter walked over, Gu Xiangsi asked her mother in a low voice, "Mother, why didn't you bring us up to say hello to Madam Li? We are in-laws, so not saying hello...isn't that good?"

"Madam Li should have arranged a blind date for Young Master Li, but Second Young Master Li didn't come. If someone bumps into such a shameful thing, both families will be embarrassed." After all, Ning Yezi has more experience than her. This silly daughter knows some ways of the world, so she didn't show up to say hello to this mother-in-law.

Gu Xiangsi nodded clearly. It would be embarrassing if someone bumped into this kind of thing.

"Let's go!" Ning Yezi walked out of a bamboo grove, and took them to the main hall of Taiqing Temple, Laojun Hall.

Taishang Laojun is enshrined in Taiqing Temple, the incense is still good, and there are many pilgrims coming and going.

Xilingyan went to the side to add money for sesame oil, and then went back, worshiped with them, burnt incense, asked for a lottery, and went to the side to find an old Taoist to release the lottery.

The old Taoist took the bamboo stick, got up from the shelf, took a signature, turned around and sat down, stroked his gray beard with one hand, shook his head and said: "The couple intends to conspire with each other, and each is troubled if the plan is not met; everything will be auspicious in autumn." , Marriage is destined not to ask for it. This is the No.12 lottery, and the sign is interpreted as a sign of bitterness first and then sweetness."

Gu Xiangsi took out an ingot of silver from Xiling Yan's pocket, put it on the table, and asked the old Taoist with a smile: "Dare to ask, what is the solution to this lot?"

The old Taoist flicked his sleeves to collect the money, held the sign in one hand, looked at her with an inscrutable smile and said: "The old Taoist said before that the signer is difficult first and then easy. The image of the former evil and the later auspicious is also the image of the gentleman! Husband and wife! They intend to conspire with each other, but the silk is not cut off, but each is in a time of worry! Only when autumn comes, everything will be auspicious for you, and everything will be fine! Like a marriage, it is destined by heaven, and there is no need to force it. Even if It is useless to show off one's momentary courage, the three suns are prosperous, and they have been stagnant for many years. In autumn, it will be very auspicious and auspicious."

"Oh, thank you, Daoist, for your sincere words." Gu Xiangsi reached out to take the signature, looked down, and it was indeed a lucky signature for everything to go well.

"Huh? Ma'am, you look very rich and powerful. Looking at your eyebrows, you should also be a harmonious husband and wife, with children in pairs. This lottery...has nothing to do with you?" Although the old Taoist is old, , but her eyes were very bright, and when she saw Gu Xiangsi's face, she told many things about her.

Gu Xiangsi didn't want to cause trouble, so she took the signature and whispered to the old Taoist: "This is a signature we asked for the unmarried girl in our family, not for ourselves, understand?"

"Oh, that's how it is." The old man is also a person with decadent thoughts. He didn't pay attention to the white-haired Ning Yezi. If he was willing to take a serious look in front of Ning Yezi, he would know that Ning Yezi was the dead tree. It's spring again, and I will meet someone who is destined for peach blossoms.

After the lottery was released, Gu Xiangsi supported her mother's arm, turned around and left the Laojun Palace.

The old Taoist continued to interpret the lottery for others, and he did not affect his work because of caring for Xiangxiang and their group.

Gu Xiangsi secretly breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the door.Along the way, she muttered: "These magic sticks seem to have some skills?"

"The benefactor's words are wrong!" A young and handsome blue-robed Taoist priest, with a bamboo hairpin and a bun, holding a dust whisk, walked towards him with an extraordinary and refined temperament.

Gu Xiangsi took a few glances at the young Taoist priest, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Daoist, let me just say it casually, you can't be... eh? Are you coming to beat me?"

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun!" The young Taoist raised his palms and lowered his eyes to recite, then raised his eyes to look at Xiling Yan, the male benefactor, and then turned his head, facing the voice of Gu Xiangsi, the female benefactor, bowing slightly in a polite manner. Mou said lightly: "The female benefactor said that my Taoist school is full of magic sticks. This statement is wrong! Among the three religions and nine streams, there are upright people, and there are also bad horses. The same is true in my Taoism, and it cannot be generalized."

Gu Xiangsi thought this Taoist priest was quite interesting, so she wanted to tease him, and said with a serious face on purpose: "Taoist priest, you have violated the precept of anger."

"Eh?" The young Taoist priest was taken aback by Gu Xiangsi's sudden admonition, and he frowned and pondered for a while. What the benefactor said was right, he had indeed violated the precept of anger, and he should have gone back and thought about it.

"Huh?" Seeing the Taoist priest salute her, Gu Xiangsi turned around and left, with a look of repentance. This is... she enlightened the Taoist priest?
A middle-aged tall and thin Taoist priest left, gave her a copy, and then left with Jili.

Gu Xiangsi held the blue book in his hand, on which was written the "Taishang Laojun Said the Sutra of Chang Qing Jing", opened it, glanced at it, frowned and read a few words: "The great way is formless, giving birth to the world; the great way is ruthless, moving the sun and the moon; the great way It has no name, it grows and nourishes all things. I don’t know its name, but the strong name is Dao?”

"For the husband and the Tao, there is clearness and turbidity, and there is movement and stillness. The sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is still; men are pure and women are turbid, and men are moving and women are still. All things are born from the source of the flow. The source of the turbidity is the source of the clear. It is the foundation of tranquility. People can always be peaceful, and heaven and earth will all return." Xilingyan read a paragraph behind her hands behind her back, and said to her with a smile: "This is the best scripture of Taoism. Every practitioner must recite it every day. one of my homework."

"Eh? What is this for me? I don't want to practice Taoism." Gu Xiangsi felt that there was something wrong with this Taoist priest who was too pure. And this last middle-aged Taoist... is even sicker, and sending her scriptures, is this to make her immortal?
Ning Yezi patted the back of her daughter's hand, and explained to her as she walked: "The young Taoist priest before was the master of the Taiqing Temple. He took over at the age of 13, and was named Chang Jing Daoist by the late emperor!"

"Real person? Aren't they all veterans with chicken skin and white hair?" Gu Xiangsi frowned, and turned to look at Xiling Yan beside her. His royal brother is very willful!Can you make a kid a real person casually?

"Brother Huang... believed in Taoism very much back then." Xilingyan said this very helplessly. In fact, many emperors were like this, they always believed in ghosts and gods very much.

"Is this kind of superstition okay?" Gu Xiangsi frowned, thinking of the female national teacher Feng Taisu, who made fortune telling by herself and made everyone kneel for hours. Is this fortune telling?It's just torturing people, right?
If one day, Feng Taisu said that the reason why the country is full of disasters and disasters is because the monarch is not wise, does that mean that the country of Xihe will have to change hands?

"This is a way to calm people's hearts, and you can also regard it as a belief that wins people's hearts." Xi Lingyan accompanied them on the bamboo forest path, and explained to her with a low laugh.

"Even so, if one day...they become restless?" Gu Xiangsi was still a little worried. If Feng Taisu was too popular, one day if she had evil thoughts in her heart, wouldn't it be possible to destroy the Xiling family's country with a single sentence? up?
"They are just in the palm of the king of a country. Once they want to get out of control, they will die miserably." When Xi Lingyan said this, her eyes were extremely cold and ruthless.

"Hey! That's your kissing junior sister. You're so cold-blooded, aren't you afraid of being sad?" Gu Xiangsi squinted at this man, not knowing whether it was affectionate or heartless.

When Xiling Yan heard her sour tone, he also nodded on purpose and said: "You are right, she has called me senior brother for many years anyway, I really shouldn't treat her..."

"Hey, hey, do you really dare to feel pity for other women?" Gu Xiangsi angrily turned her head and glared at him angrily. She couldn't keep her feet steady and almost fell to the ground on her face.

Xilingyan hugged her by the waist, so as not to let her fall, and helped her, put one hand behind her waist, shook her head helplessly and sighed: "A woman's heart is really elusive. I'm cold-blooded and ruthless to other women, and you say I'm too cruel. I listen to you to pity other women, and you are so sore... Sigh! It's hard to serve you when you say it, right? "

"That's right! I'm just difficult to serve, so don't serve me if you're capable." Gu Xiangsi rolled up her sleeves with an air of arrogance and arrogance, intending to beat her husband up.

Ning Yezi stretched out her hand to hold her daughter, gave her a look with a smile, and said, "You child, you obviously bullied Ah Yan, but you can't say it, but you actually want to do it again, have you forgotten all three obediences and four virtues?"

Gu Xiangsi is most afraid of what her mother will say about the three obediences and four virtues. She is not Gu Chenxi and Gu Xiyun who do things without restraint, so is it necessary to teach her "Female Ring" class?
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Xiling Yan pinched the soft flesh on her waist, looked at his mother-in-law with a gentle smile and said, "Mother, Acacia is a little tired recently, she is just joking with me, relax Get in the mood."

As soon as Ning Yezi heard her son-in-law say that her daughter had worked hard these days, she felt very sorry for her daughter.

Gu Xiangsi glared at Xiling Yan angrily, turned her head and took her mother's hand, patted the man who was eating her tofu away, and chatted and laughed with her mother while walking.

Ning Yezi also knows that her daughter is a filial child, this is to comfort her!

The three of them left Lingjun Mountain in Taiqing Temple and returned to Xilan City all the way. They first sent Ning Yezi back to Ningguo Duke's Mansion, and then they took a car back to Zhenwang Mansion.

When going down the mountain before, they met Mo Yun who reported the letter. Mo Yun said that their people failed to catch the person behind Zeng Qiqi, but they were sure that the other party was Xia Jinhua who had been missing for a long time.

Xia Jinhua is really lingering, I thought he left Xilan City to go to another place after the plan failed!

Who knows that this guy is still wandering around Xilan City, and using Zeng Qiqi, that stupid woman, to try to keep Feng Qiji trapped in Xilan City, it's really ridiculous.

"Jiangnan... I'm a little worried." Xiling Yan has actually rarely stayed in Xilan City these years. He has been busy all year round and rested in Xilan City for nearly a year. It is really an exception for him in these years. .

"If you're worried, you can go to Jiangnan to have a look. I don't want the signature to be inaccurate." Gu Xiangsi, like Xiling Yan, was worried about Feng Qiji's safety.

Of course, their original intentions for worrying are different.

Xiling Yan is worried about the wind and Ji, has the friendship of friends, and also worries about the country and society.

Gu Xiangsi was worried about Feng Qiji, but it was purely personal.After all, she still thought that this uncle would be her stepfather!

Xiling Yan frowned, thought for a long time, then nodded lightly and said: "Alright! Let me make some arrangements, and in three days, I will go to chase Feng Qiji. I hope he will not encounter too difficult troubles along the way."

"Well, when you leave, I will immediately arrange for Jun'er and Baozhu to enter the palace. Compared with being by my side, I think it's safer to be with the emperor." It's not that Gu Xiangsi doesn't want her children to go to Ningguo Palace to accompany her mother more, but After what happened last time, she understood that there seemed to be no danger around them, but as long as Xia Jinhua and others were not all arrested, they would not be really safe around them.

Instead of worrying about the child's safety all day, it is better to send the child to the most dangerous and safest place, that is, the palace.

"It's fine to send the child to Ah Chu, anyway Jun'er was brought up by him." When Xi Lingyan said these words, she didn't blush at all.

Gu Xiangsi turned her head and looked at him with a smile, she really felt that he was a person who only cheated on people around him, referred to as killing familiarity.

"I've seen the lord, the concubine!" Zhao Sheng came up to greet him, bowed his hands and saluted, "My lord, Miss Zeng has been invited."

"Oh! Everyone has been invited? Then I'll talk to her about life, you big man can do it yourself! I won't accompany you." Before leaving, Gu Xiangsi stretched out her hand to tease Xiling Yan After a while, he laughed and left in a good mood.

Zhao Sheng cupped his hands and bowed his head in a salute, then retreated with a suppressed smile.

Xiling Yan's handsome face blushed, but then she shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the mansion.

Gu Xiangsi just touched Xiling Yan's butt on purpose, who told him to... cough cough!Anyway, the birthmark somewhere on him is quite unique.

Zhao Sheng followed behind their concubine, holding back his stomach ache from laughing all the way, the concubine is too powerful, even teasing the prince is so hot.
