After walking halfway up the mountain, there are steps. Fortunately, each step is not high, and it is very wide, not far away, and there is a long stone bench for pedestrians going up the mountain to rest. Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong walked fast, and when they looked up, they all saw the gate of the mountain temple, standing faintly in pink.
"Let's sit for a while, and wait for my brother and them to come, so we can report, and we will follow them in!" Shen Xiurong said, the little maid Jixiang, who was following her, was busy taking out her veil and dusting a nearby stone bench. Shan, then, ask the two masters to sit down.
Liu Qiqiao was also a little tired from walking, and climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, because while talking while climbing, he didn't feel tired at all. Now that he stopped, she felt a little sore in her legs. Seeing Shen Xiurong first sat down, she just stopped. She also sat down next to her.
There was some sweat on the corner of his forehead, Liu Qiqiao pulled out the veil from his sleeve and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Shen Xiurong also wiped her sweat, and smiled: "They are so slow, it seems that there is still a long way to go, this is still there!"
Liu Qiqiao nodded, "Is this Yunchan Temple very busy?"
Shen Xiurong said: "The lottery at Yunchan Temple is very good, so many people come to pray for promises, and many people come to make a wish to make a wish. In the circle of nobles, this temple is still very famous!"
"Is it possible to draw lots here?" Liu Qiqiao said, "I only heard others say that I haven't drawn any lots yet!"
Shen Xiurong smiled and said: "Then we will draw a lot in a while. If it can be cancelled, the monk in the temple will give it to you. The reward for the cancellation of the lot depends on the reward!"
Liu Qiqiao nodded: "Lanxiang, did you take the silver?"
Lan Xiang nodded and said: "Take it, Auntie!"
All the money for the cancellation of the lottery has to be spent by oneself, otherwise, it will not work.
After they rested for a while, there was movement on the steps. The first ones that came up were a few soft sedan chairs. The soft sedan chairs of Mrs. Shen and Huangfu Haoyue were in the front, and the two behind were up, one was Shen Nianci and the other was Shen Nianen.
Mother Zhou followed by Mrs. Shen's sedan chair. At this moment, she saw Shen Xiurong and Liu Qiqiao sitting here to rest, but said, "You guys hurry up, wait here!"
Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "After all, they are young and come up on their own, even faster than us!"
The sedan chair didn't stop, and went straight to the temple gate.
Liu Qiqiao raised his head, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. When he raised his head, he saw the sedan chair. Huangfu Haoyue was looking sideways. There was a small parasol on the sedan chair. The surface of the umbrella was a little dark. Huangfu Haoyue's face was pale. She looked at Liu Qiqiao’s eyes with profound meaning. Liu Qiqiao was startled. When she looked over, Huangfu Haoyue no longer looked at her. Liu Qiqiao saw that she was half leaning back in the soft sedan chair, as if she was thin and thin. No, the two bearers were also very light, far less heavy than the heavy lifting of the old lady Shen in front. Huangfu Haoyue put a pale and thin hand on the side of the sedan chair, holding a kerchief in his hand.
Liu Qiqiao was stunned. On the veil, embroidered with a round moon, a thick cloud covered the moon, and the light coming through the moon came and passed tremblingly...
A faint scent, then passed away...
"Madam Young is hard to come by!" Liu Qiqiao whispered to Shen Xiurong.
Shen Xiurong was too late to speak. When she heard the two children, she meditated on her compassion and grace, and called her with joy: "Little aunt, little aunt..."
She was busy responding to them.
Shen Nianci smiled and shouted: "Auntie, why didn't you sit in the sedan chair? It's fun to sit in the sedan chair. It's swaying all the way. It's getting old and comfortable. I almost got stuck!"
Shen Xiurong smiled and waved to them, without saying anything, the sedan chair had passed.
"You mean Huangfu!" Shen Xiurong sighed: "The beauty is unlucky, just talk about her. Look at her body, I thought she was not very good years ago. I haven't seen her for more than two months. I go to my grandma every day to ask for peace. I don’t have her. I always say that my body is insecure. Looking at it now, it’s not an excuse at all, but it’s a miracle that she can last so long!"
"Why?" Liu Qiqiao turned his head, wondering what Yu Shen Xiurong said.
"Before she got married, there were rumors. The fortune-telling alchemist said that the eldest lady of Huangfu's family will not live to be eighteen years old!" Shen Xiurong bit Liu Qiqiao's ear and said, "She was seventeen when she married her eldest brother. At that time, everyone thought that the eldest brother would not agree to this marriage, and it was a coincidence that if it weren’t for Princess Jun to push her too quickly, the eldest brother might not have married her in such a hurry! After all, my family would not worry about it. The eldest brother married a daughter-in-law, but Princess Chun wanted to recruit her eldest brother to be a consort, and Huangfu’s family gave the Geng Tie first. The eldest brother didn’t want to marry her. She was urged by Princess Chun, but Huangfu was perfected. In fact, Huangfu is very good When she got married, we all liked her very much, but her body was too weak. After the Chinese New Year, the eldest brother married the second aunt. She proposed to marry the eldest brother and said that she wanted to continue the incense for the Shen family. It’s hard to save your life, and it’s hard for your eldest brother to have a baby!"
In fact, Liu Qiqiao knows a little bit about this, but now, looking at Huangfu’s appearance, I don’t feel sad for her. With her temperament, it is so uncomfortable to accept so many aunts from behind to get started. .
"Fortunately, the young lady seems to be okay now!" Liu Qiqiao said.
Shen Xiurong said in a small voice: "You don't know how much money you need to spend this year to save her life. The ginseng must be very good, and ordinary small ginseng will not work, as well as Ganoderma lucid velvet antler. They all have to be good. Most people, if they eat like this, they would have eaten it a long time ago. That is to say, our Shen family, that is, the eldest brother treats her sincerely. At any time, we can't stop her with the medicines and supplements. It has never been broken!"
Liu Qiqiao nodded, and Shen Yunong had never been soft on his aunt for spending money on this.
As he was talking, there was another figure over there, this time a bunch of people came over.
At present, it is Shen Yunong, who turned out to be Aunt Gao. She talked and laughed while walking beside Shen Yunong. Her voice was very clear and she laughed all the way up. Behind the two of them, the third wife followed. With Si Yiniang, two people were muttering something in the back. Behind them, Yi Yiniang held the maid’s hand and fell in the end. After all, she was a little older. After walking halfway, she saw her panting. Very, seeing Liu Qiqiao and the others sitting here, she walked over a few steps, and no matter what, she just smiled: "No, I have to rest for a while. It's incomparable with you young people. I didn't even think about my body. So tired, if I knew it, I would sit in a sedan chair too!"
Liu Qiqiao hurriedly stepped aside and let the second sister-in-law sit down.
"Thank you sister!" The second aunt said after sitting down, touching Liu Qiqiao's arm: "Aren't you wearing thin clothes? Sister, it's cold on the mountain, don't freeze!"
Liu Qiqiao smiled and said, "Not thin, I'm sweating now! I didn't feel cold at all!"
"I am young, in good shape, and strong in foundation. I really envy you!" said the second aunt.
"Er Auntie is joking, you are still young!" Liu Qiqiao smiled, while Shen Xiurong also smiled and said: "Yes, Er Auntie, you honest person, why do you still want to learn from your grandmother?"
The second sister-in-law shook her head slightly: "Oh, I am not joking, my own body, I know, I am thirty-one this year, how old is my eldest master, you guys, have a round, this Time is not forgiving, and the body cannot pretend to be fake!"
Liu Qiqiao had always had a good impression of Er Yi Niang. At this time, he had to sneer. It was hard to say anything. Looking so close, it was true that Er Yi Niang's slightly fat cheeks, with such a smile, there were fine wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.
The woman is so unreliable. Looking at the front, Shen Yunong looks like a young man, surrounded by a few aunts, her demeanor remains the same, but this woman who gave birth to his first child is uncontrollable Get old.
The peach blossoms in the mountains, year after year, urge people to grow old, it is the years, the flowers bloom and fall, and the Zhu Yan has turned white hair after a few times.
The second aunt seemed to be just complaining, but she didn't feel so sad. She still asked Liu Qiqiao heartily: "Aunt Qi, this is a big son, and there are too many people, so I don’t have time to visit you often. Look, if there is anything lacking in your yard, just ask the maid lady to come to me. If there is anything that is not thoughtful, please bear with me!"
Liu Qiqiao hurriedly said: "Second Auntie is polite, every time you think about things in your head, everything is done properly, there is nothing wrong, I really have to thank my sister!"
The second aunt nodded: "The seventh aunt is really good-tempered. It's rare to please the young master. Even if I saw it, I also like you. It looks beautiful and beautiful. This skirt is not wasted when you wear it on you!"
Liu Qiqiao was still wearing that silver-white dress. She knew it was a little eye-catching. The aunts who walked around Shen Yunong just now all glanced at herself. Everywhere they looked, they were all on her body. The jealous eyes cannot be hidden.
"Thanks for the wrong love of the eldest master!" Liu Qiqiao had to say.
While Shen Xiurong couldn't listen to them, she pulled Liu Qiqiao up: "Okay, okay, everyone has entered the temple, you two should not be polite here, let's have enough rest, let's go too. Okay, Second Auntie, wait a little longer, Qi Auntie and I want to draw a lottery, we're going in first!"
Seeing that they both got up, the second aunt was not in a hurry. She smiled: "Yes, don't accompany me. Go in. I just rested my feet. I feel more tired. I'll rest for a while, anyway. Nothing, Aping and Grandma Zhou have arranged it. I'm here to steal my son's laziness!"
After Shen Xiurong and Liu Qiqiao left, the second aunt collapsed. She was really tired. Just now, she didn't want to get close to Shen Yunong, but just watched that the other aunts did not call the sedan chair, but called herself alone. The sedan chair, nothing seems to be big, she thinks of others in everything, and she doesn't want to be too outrageous in everything. She has no choice but to embarrass herself. She rubbed her waist and squatted down and rubbed her legs. "Auntie, what do you think you can do? How good is it to be a sedan chair? Your waist had problems with having two children back then, and it hurts when you are tired. Why do you think you are!"
