"The second child is already like that. If his wife and daughter are not protected at home, who will protect him? The situation at home is not good. Now it is already stretched to treat the second child. With so many people, if they all sit on the sliding pole, , how much money do you need! If you want to sit down, just pay for it yourself. I know that you two are richer than me, my uncle, and my uncle's house!"
This was Yao's answer when Mrs. Bo was stopped by Geng Yan and asked to hire more slide poles so that everyone could sit on them.
These words made Geng Yan almost get angry on the spot, but although it was still early, there were already many people on the mountain road. In order not to make others laugh, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Looking at the three sliding poles that were slowly moving up, as well as the two people Geng Xingshui and Geng Shumin who were still left in the second room, Geng Wen shook his head, feeling helpless and frustrated.
Geng Xingshuang found it a little funny.
"Sixth sister, are you so angry that you can still laugh now?"
"Why should I be angry? Why do you think we came to Yaowang Temple this time?"
Geng Xingshuang felt that her step-grandmother was confused because of Geng Cheng's serious injury. At this time, she actually wanted to restrain them with a few sliding poles.
"I'm praying for my second uncle." Geng Xingchen replied smoothly.
"That's it!"
Geng Xingchen blinked and looked at Geng Xingshuang, "Sixth sister, is this what I thought?"
Geng Xingshuang hadn't answered yet. Geng Yan, who was discussing with Geng Wen about hiring some sliding poles, suddenly flicked his sleeves and vented his anger: "It's better not to go. Anyway, I didn't want to ask the King of Medicine for Geng Cheng's blessing. He has Today, it’s all your own fault.”
What he didn't say was that Geng Cheng was like this and that he and Geng Wen had done it. Now they went to the Yaowang Temple to pray for him. He only felt that this matter was strangely urgent, and it also made him feel guilty, for fear that the Bodhisattva's pair of The discerning eye saw what they had done and what was in their hearts.
"That's fine!"
"Ah...brother, what did you say?"
Geng Wen agreed so readily, which surprised Geng Yan. What he just said was just angry words.
"But...but we've come this far..."
"So what if we get here? Anyway, the carriage is here. It's troublesome to go up the mountain, but it's not difficult to go down the mountain!" Mrs. Jiang said.
Finally, Geng Wen hired a sliding pole for Geng Xingshui and Geng Shun each, sent them up the mountain, and then took the rest of the people down the mountain in a carriage.
Mrs. Bo would probably not have thought that after she took the Yao family and their second wife's children up the mountain, only Geng Xingshui and Geng Shumin, the second family's children, would be the only ones following her, and the others would follow them up the mountain. , and went down the mountain on the back foot.
"Grandma will definitely get angry after she comes down the mountain," Geng Xingchen said.
"My father and third uncle are supporting me!" Geng Xingshuang was a little heartless.
"Hey, girl, look, that carriage is so beautiful, and so is the horse pulling it. It must be a famous horse!"
Geng Xingshuang hurriedly looked out at the opened carriage curtain, and saw a canopied red-wheeled carriage pulled by two horses passing their carriage. Because this carriage was much wider and longer than ordinary carriages, they The carriage had already given way to the edge of the mountain road. Fortunately, there were jungles on both sides of this section of the road, not cliffs.
The two horses pulling the cart were all white and extraordinary. Even if Geng Xingshuang didn't know anything about horses, he could tell at a glance that these two horses were no ordinary horses.
There were dozens of tall and strong guards on horseback in front and behind the carriage.
"Sixth Sister, who is this... noble person traveling? So Zhang... Such a pomp!"
Geng Xingchen wanted to be so arrogant, but thinking about Jin Bao's ear, he was afraid of meeting another person with Jin Bao's ability. After all, the posture of the group of people opposite him seemed a bit timid, so he immediately changed his words as soon as he said it.
Geng Xingshuang saw the noble carriage and thought about what she heard from the steward when she was at Zhuangzi yesterday. There are more than ten Zhuangzi at the foot of Daling Mountain, among which three Zhuangzi have the best location and the largest area. One of them is Yongkang Houfu belongs to the Zhong family. Yongkang Houfu is now at its peak of wealth and wealth.
"Two empresses were born in their family, one was a noble concubine, and the other was a noble concubine. They both gave birth to princes, a third prince, and a fifth prince. Gee, those servants in the village walk with wind in their eyes!"
When the lady in charge talked about Yongkang Houfu, her face was full of envy.
Jinbao said at the right time: "Girl, I saw this carriage last night. There were more guards than the ones I just saw. My servant watched them enter the Zhuangzi of Yongkang Marquis."
"Is it the old lady from the Yongkang Marquis' Mansion who is here?" Geng Xingchen guessed that only the Yongkang Marquis's wife could be worthy of such a pomp.
The carriages and horses from the Yongkang Marquis Mansion just passed by each other, so the Geng family just watched the excitement and didn't take it to heart.
After coming down the mountain, the group went directly to Zhuangzi. The two sisters, Geng Xingshuang, went straight to catch up on their sleep. Geng Shuyin and Geng Shuji ran through Zhuangzi and around the village. They finally didn’t have to go to school and didn’t bring their homework. They were so wild and playful. Had a great time.
"Sixth sister, what should I do if my grandmother comes back and gets angry? She must be furious!"
After lying down, Geng Xingchen asked vaguely with a heavy sleepiness, which she could not let go of in her heart.
"My father and third uncle are in front of me." Geng Xingshuang gave the same answer as in the morning, "I'm too sleepy, go to sleep."
After lunch, the sky gradually darkened, the sky was covered with dark clouds, flashes of electricity, and bursts of thunder.
"It's going to rain!" Geng Xingchen sighed.
"The rain in summer will stop after a while."
The two sisters originally planned to walk around before Mrs. Bo and the others came back, but because of the rain, they had to be locked up in the village.
The heavy rain fell intermittently for nearly two hours, and the water in the river rose a lot. It was not until the evening that the rain gradually stopped.
"It seems that your grandmother and others can't go down the mountain today and have to stay in the temple."
Geng Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he would have to bear Madam Uncle's anger sooner or later, it would be as late as possible.
Although the steward in Zhuangzi didn't know why Geng Wen and others didn't go to Yaowang Temple, since the master lived in Zhuangzi, as a servant, he naturally had to serve him well, and because he was prepared for today, the dinner was sumptuous. , there were chickens and ducks raised on the farm, fresh river fish, mushrooms, fresh vegetables, etc. bought from nearby farmers. Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen, Geng Shu, and Geng Shuji all ate a round belly and sat on the chairs with their bellies stretched out. , not wanting to move.
This made Mrs. Ruan and Mrs. Jiang sigh repeatedly.
"A bunch of idiots!"
In the Yaowang Temple of Dalingshan, Geng Xingbing looked at the darkening sky and asked, "Is grandma still angry?"
Pingshan nodded, "I just went to check on her. Luxuan...she has a cut on her forehead."
Not saying it clearly is tantamount to saying it clearly.
Geng Xingbing said lightly: "Grandma still likes to throw cups."
Pingshan lowered his head and said nothing.
"Shen Shui... Is third sister still with grandma?"
"Mrs. Bo said she had a headache and asked the third girl to attend to her!"
Pingshan whispered. She didn't hear Geng Xingbing's answer for a long time. She asked tentatively: "Four girls... want to go and see?"
Geng Xingbing shook his head, "No, the rain has stopped. We will definitely not be able to go down the mountain tonight. We finally came here, let's go for a walk."
"But...the sky is getting dark now..."
"I heard that there are many lotus flowers planted on the pond in the backyard of Yaowang Temple. When they are in full bloom, the lotus leaves are green and the flowers are bright red. They are very eye-catching. Although the sky looks dark now, it is just because of the rain. In fact, it’s not dark yet, let’s go see the lotus flowers and come back right after, so we won’t delay anything.”
Just as Pingshan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Geng Xingbing.
Pingshan knew that the girl had made up her mind. Even if she gave a hundred reasons, it would be useless.
"Girl, wait a minute. This servant is going to bring a lamp. If it gets dark, it can at least illuminate the road."
