Chapter 276 Coincidence
Although Mrs. Su said she did not need to greet Liu Ruosi in the morning and evening, she would still come to Chunhui Hall as long as Liu Ruosi was in the house. Although Mrs. Su was not affectionate towards Liu Ruosi, she treated her with courtesy.
The serving girls and ladies were also respectful to Liu Ruosi.
Liu Ruosi felt that there would be nothing wrong with her if she continued to treat her like a guest.
On this day, she came to Chunhui Hall again, and Mrs. Lao happened to be there. Mrs. Lao reported housework to Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su’s brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked a little sad. This was not because Mrs. Su was angry with Mrs. Lao, but because Mrs. Su was angry with her.
The old prince has been in poor health recently.
After listening to Mr. Lao's words, Mr. Su only said a few words briefly and then talked about the old prince's condition.
"...Your father's temperament is such that he refuses to listen to anyone. He was told to have a good rest for two days, but he refused to rest even for a moment. He is also an elderly man. What will happen if this continues." Su Shi
This is really pent up in my heart, and I can't help but complain in front of my two daughters-in-law.
King Yongjing inherited the throne in his early years, and has been entrusted with important responsibilities since then. He was also injured on the battlefield. Although he looked full of energy, he was actually weak inside. Liu Ruosi also valued the old prince's health very much.
.
"...My mother's comprador said that she has just collected a lot of good medicinal materials, and perhaps some of them can be used by my father. Although my mother and concubine have made a list, I will help search for them, and I will definitely find the best ones.
Come." Liu Ruosi took the initiative and said to Su.
"It's good that you have this heart. You don't lack anything for now... but if you do, I'll send someone to tell you." Su said to Liu Ruosi, her tone seemed to be a little warmer than usual.
"Light a few more ever-burning lanterns in the family temple..." Mrs. Su ordered Mrs. Lao again.
"It's the Buddha Bathing Festival again, how do you want to arrange it?" Mrs. Lao hurriedly agreed, and then asked Mrs. Su, "But we still want to go to Daxiangguo Temple?"
The annual Buddha Bathing Festival is coming again. Mrs. Liu Er has already sent someone to tell Liu Ruosi that the Liu family will go to the Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense and release animals on that day. Mrs. Liu Er also asked the Su family if they would.
Go, will Liu Ruosi go with you?
"Of course we go to the Daxiangguo Temple." Su said, "Just follow the rules of previous years, just go ahead and make arrangements... In addition, this year we will ask the great monk to perform a ritual ceremony for us."
Because the old prince was ill, and in Su's opinion, the family had been a little uneasy recently, so the offerings in front of the Buddha had to be doubled, and a ritual ceremony was needed to ward off disasters and pray for blessings.
Lowe's naturally responded.
"When the prince comes back later, I want to ask him if he has free time. It's rare that this year we have a large number of people. We go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense together, which shows our sincerity in worshiping the Buddha." Mrs. Su said to herself again.
"Send someone to see your seventh sister and ask her if the scriptures she helped copy are ready." Mrs. Su ordered Mrs. Lao again, "and tell the kitchen to prepare some goose fat rolls and send them to your seventh sister.
.She likes to eat that, and the chef in our house makes it more to her liking."
The Su family did not shy away from Liu Ruosi at all, and kept talking about Su Qingnuan. With so many people in the palace, Su Qingnuan was left to do things like copying scriptures during the Buddha Bathing Festival, even if it was
After Su Qingnuan was sent away.
Liu Ruosi got the news yesterday that the Su family had already talked in front of King Yongjing about bringing Su Qingnuan back to live. However, King Yongjing did not agree. Under this situation, the Su family still did the same.
His attitude has been clearly revealed, and he seems to be determined.
"This matter of copying scriptures is really laborious and laborious. In the past years, I have troubled my seventh sister, but it is not my fault. I am a clumsy person and have not read many books. I only know a few words, but I can actually do it.
I won't do anything like this." Mr. Lao also hurriedly responded, looking at Liu
Ruosi glanced at Su and said with a smile, "It's different now. My younger siblings have learned a lot. My younger siblings' calligraphy was taught by Liu Hanlin himself. Even among the great Confucian scholars in the Hanlin Academy, my younger siblings' calligraphy is quite popular."
Highly praised. My father once even praised my younger siblings."
..."In the future, if you have no choice but to leave such things to your younger siblings, you can make it easier for the seventh sister." Mr. Lao continued to say with a smile.
Mrs. Su picked up the teacup, lowered her eyes, and slowly sipped the fragrant tea.
"The matter of copying the scriptures was originally entrusted to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine was in poor health, so she entrusted it to Qi Yatou. This year, it has been entrusted to Qi Yatou. I think she should be able to copy it almost as well. Let's talk about it next year."
After being silent for a long time, Su Shi said. Although Su Shi explained very carefully, she did not look at Liu Ruosi.
"As long as I don't mind it, I can give you whatever you want." Liu Ruosi vaguely felt that Su was hinting at something or emphasizing something, but she still smiled and replied.
At noon, Liu Ruosi was copying scriptures in the room, when a woman from Chunhui Hall brought a little girl over with a food box to answer her question.
"...Miss Qi missed the Third Madam very much. Miss Qi personally cooked and made this box of water chestnut cakes for the Third Madam." The little girl saluted and said to Liu Ruosi solemnly.
It turned out that Madam Su had sent someone to see Su Qingnuan, and Su Qingnuan immediately sent someone to follow Madam Su to say hello to Madam Su, and also brought water chestnut cake to Liu Ruosi. This little girl was serving Su Qingnuan in the Su Mansion.
, he seems to be very smart and eloquent.
Liu Ruosi asked someone to take the food box, and at the same time ordered a reward for the little girl and the mother-in-law who came with her.
"How are you seven girls doing at home?" Liu Ruosi asked the little girl.
"As far as the Third Madam is concerned, everything is fine for the girl. It's just that she doesn't have any sisters of the same age at home. The girl often talks about the Third Madam and says she is in love with the Third Madam." The little girl hurriedly replied with a smile.
"Thank you girls for your kindness." Liu Ruosi said, "You also made these snacks for me with your own hands. If Miss Qi made them by herself, they must be good, but I dare not enjoy them all to myself."
Liu Ruosi ordered the horseshoe cake sent by Su Qingnuan to be divided into several portions, one portion for the Su family, one portion for the Crown Princess, one portion for the Lao family, and the last portion was reserved for herself.
"Even though Third Madam keeps it for herself, Miss Seventh made it specially for Third Madam. Miss Seventh also gave it to the Princess, Crown Princess and Second Madam." The old woman who followed quickly said with a smile.
"Miss Qi is always so thoughtful. But they are all snacks, so they must be prepared in different ways according to everyone's different preferences." Liu Ruosi smiled and still divided the horseshoe cake into several portions and sent them out.
"The third lady guessed exactly. The seventh girl gave the princess Poria cake, the princess gave the ginseng cake, and the second lady gave the rose cake." The old woman said with a smile. Liu Ruosi rewarded her.
The mother-in-law was so generous that she was happy and talked a lot.
Su Qingnuan only gave snacks to Liu Ruosi and Lao Shi. In addition to snacks, Su Shi and the Crown Princess also had needlework. Because she missed the body of the Crown Princess, Su Qingnuan also gave a few boxes.
Use the best medicinal materials to prepare medicine for the Crown Princess.
Liu Ruosi sent her mother-in-law and little girl away, and asked someone to bring over the horseshoe cake that Su Qingnuan had given her. After taking a look at it, she waved her hand and asked someone to take it.
"Madam, the princess is like that, and Miss Su Qi is behaving like this, I'm afraid..." Aunt Chang was a little worried and whispered to Liu Ruosi.
"We have done everything we can, so we have to let them do it." Liu Ruosi said.
"I'm just afraid that when she comes back, she will..." Grandma Chang became even more worried.
"After this time, we can finally calm down for a while. Let's just do our duty and I won't offend anyone unless they offend me." Liu Ruosi said, "Although we can't stop her from coming back, if she comes back again,
The matter is not settled so easily."
For several days in a row, life in the palace was uneventful. In a blink of an eye, it was the Buddha Bathing Festival. Prince Yongjing was in good spirits and showed no signs of discomfort. However, the condition of the Crown Princess worsened. The Jade Buddha Festival was originally a good day.
Everyone went, but the Crown Princess couldn't stand up and couldn't even go out with Rong Jin.
…"There can't be anyone at home. I'll stay and take care of their mother and son." Rong Chengyi said to Prince Yongjing and the Su family, and then clasped his fists to Rong Chenghan and Rong Chengxiang. "I'll leave all other matters to my second and third brothers."
.”
Rong Chengyi never cared about Buddhist affairs. This was known to both King Yongjing and the Su family, so they did not force Rong Chengyi. Rong Chenghan and Rong Chengxiang also stood up and agreed. When preparations were made outside, King Yongjing led Rongcheng
Han and Rong Chengxiang rode on horseback, and Su took Liu Ruosi and Lao in the car. They rushed out of the palace and went straight to Daxiangguo Temple.
Liu Ruosi was sitting in the car, remembering that at this time last year, she followed Mrs. Liu Er to the Daxiangguo Temple. Unexpectedly, she ran into the eldest princess and Su Shi. In order to avoid the two giant Buddhas, she had to pretend to be sick.
Later, I went to Back Mountain and met Han Qing by chance.
In just one year, she was married and even married into the prince's palace. Thinking of the past, Liu Ruosi couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, the group arrived at the Daxiangguo Temple, and the abbot came out in person. After the rituals, the abbot accompanied King Yongjing to the Zen room to preach, while Liu Ruosi and Lao accompanied Su to the quiet room to rest. They had just
After sitting down in the quiet room, the Liu family sent someone to deliver the post.
Old Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu Er, Mrs. Liu San and others were also offering incense at the Daxiangguo Temple. When they knew that people from the Yongjing Palace were coming, they handed in a message asking for an audience.
Although Mrs. Su was embarrassed in front of the female members of the Liu family, Mrs. Liu brought people to ask for a meeting. Mrs. Su had to come and smile, and ordered people to quickly invite Mrs. Liu and others over. The person who gave the order had just started.
As soon as we left, the eldest princess sent someone to come.
What a coincidence, the eldest princess is also in the Daxiangguo Temple at this moment.
Mrs. Su was busy and sent people to invite the eldest princess.
After a while, Mrs. Liu took the second Mrs. Liu, and the third Mrs. Liu arrived first. Liu Ruosi had already gotten up and went to the door, helping Old Mrs. Liu to go in. Mrs. Su and Mrs. Lao also got up, and everyone greeted each other.
Before they even sat down, the eldest princess arrived. After another round of greetings and greetings, everyone took their seats.
The eldest princess did not come alone, she also brought Liu Ruojuan.
"It was fate that we were here at this time last year. Our three families are now more intimate." The eldest princess said, smiling and looking at Liu Ruojuan, her face was very kind, and she seemed to be very satisfied with Liu Ruojuan.
Mrs. Su sat at the top, and only Liu Ruosi and Mr. Lao were arranged to sit with her at the bottom. The eldest princess pulled Liu Ruojuan to sit down next to her, and her affectionate attitude was evident. Liu Ruojuan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a head full of pearls and pearls.
Very luxurious. Liu Ruosi looked carefully and found that Liu Ruojuan's clothes and jewelry seemed to be newly purchased, and none of them were dowry items from the Liu family. Looking at the eldest princess and Liu Ruojuan, no matter who they are, they can
It can be seen that the eldest princess treats Liu Ruojuan very kindly.
However, Liu Ruojuan seemed to be thinner than when Liu Ruosi last saw her, and her cheekbones were more prominent. Liu Ruojuan was not good at dressing up before she left the palace. Now she is not only dressed luxuriously, but her makeup is also more detailed. All the female relatives present here.
, Liu Ruojuan has the thickest makeup and the thickest makeup.
This should also cater to the taste of the eldest princess, Liu Ruosi thought in her mind.
The eldest princess is also very affectionate to Mrs. Liu.
"...With her, I can do everything as I please, and I have to thank my in-laws for this." The eldest princess smiled and praised Liu Ruojuan to the old lady Liu.
"The eldest princess deserves a reward. I'm old, so I can't take care of her. She is now a member of the Zhengding Hou Mansion. If she doesn't have what she needs, the eldest princess can teach her."
