Chapter 25 Going out with you
The case of the child born in the coffin in the red coat did not end happily as expected.
Gu Mandong also had to sigh, this so-called innocence is worthy of being played by most powerful people, blindly pursuing the word innocence, is it really worth it for Jiang Tianluo?
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Tianluo put down the book in his hand, looked at Gu Mandong who was looking out the window with his cheek on his back, and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm thinking, you are blindly obsessed with restoring innocence to the people of the world, but you also saw it in court that day, people are not rare at all. Do you feel unworthy because of that?"
"Let's see what happens. As long as I think it's worth it, it's enough. By the way, my vacation has ended, and I will go to Jingyang County to do something in the near future, passing through the White Horse Temple on the way, this trip can also pay homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law and brother-in-law, although it has passed the Qingming Day when I arrived, but it is also a piece of filial piety, what do you think?"
Gu Mandong was slightly stunned, at this moment she remembered that her current identity is also an orphan daughter of the ancient family, after her mother could not find the body of her younger brother Luojiang, her father set up a mound for her younger brother and enshrined it in the White Horse Temple, her mother was ill since then, and she went the next year, as for her father, she died in an accident before she married into the Jiang family, and the funeral at that time was still handled by the old lady of the Jiang family, and later there was also her Gu Mandong married into the Jiang family.
It's a pity that the kind old lady Jiang didn't live long, and a flu killed him.
"That's good, of course. When do you go?"
"Start tomorrow, if there is anything you need to prepare, you let the people below prepare properly, and the affairs in the house will be taken care of by Steward Wen for the time being, and there won't be many problems. ”
"It's fine. ”
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Mandong left Jiang's house with only Yuhuan and Jiang Tianluo and went to the White Horse Temple.
It was nearly a year since I last went to White Horse Temple.
I don't know if the White Horse Temple is still there.
"What? Jiang Tianluo left Qi County. When did it happen?" Mo Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and looked surprised at the news sent by Anshun.
"Yesterday's thing. I heard that I didn't leave alone, and I brought that Mrs. Jiang with me. I don't know where to go, but I can be sure that at least with this Mrs. Jiang, I must go to the White Horse Temple. After all, Qingming has passed, and Jiang Tianluo has to take his wife to worship his father-in-law's family no matter what. This White Horse Temple is the place where the three sons of the ancient family are enshrined. It can be seen that although this White Horse Temple is not necessarily the final destination, it is definitely one of the destinations. ”
"That's right. Anshun, yes, this will be a clever change, and he actually knows how to check in advance and report to me. Mo Jinyan couldn't help but smile and patted An Shun's shoulder to express his appreciation.
Xie Gongzi complimented. Childe, when are we going to chase after you?"
"It's not too early, so I'll leave tomorrow. ”
"Yes, Childe. ”
After five days of carriage, Gu Mandong and his party have arrived at White Horse Town, a small town near the White Horse Temple.
In the past, this White Horse Town was quite lively, but it was not overcrowded.
After inquiring, I learned that because of the heavy rain some time ago, the main road leading to Jingyang County was landslided, blocking the road, which caused the passing merchants to stay here, so that Baima Town was overcrowded, and there was no place to live, so they could only spend money to discuss with the townspeople in the town and stay in the townspeople's homes.
"Young master and madam, they have already asked, and even the residences of ordinary people are full, and there is no place to take them in. Jiang Hang frowned, he hadn't encountered this kind of thing yet.
"The White Horse Temple is not too far from here, hurry up, you should be able to get to the White Horse Temple before dark. ”
"That's all there is to it. Leave. Jiang Hang nodded.
As expected, Jiang Tianluo and his party rushed to the White Horse Temple before dark.
The abbot of the White Horse Temple, who is now seventy years old, is still healthy, as in his memory, and is a monk with a very good temper.
"Abbot. Jiang Tianluo clasped his hands together and saluted.
"Master Jiang and Master Gu, the two of you are here to worship. It's not too early, so I'll let the novice take you to the Zen room to rest. ”
"Thank you, Abbot. ”
The abbot of the Silent Sky seemed to have expected this to happen, and he was not surprised by the visit of Jiang Tianluo and the others.
However, in this monastery, men and women are not allowed to live in the same room, and even husbands and wives are not allowed to live together.
This caused Jiang Tianluo to live in a courtyard across the courtyard from Gu Mandong.
There are no rules, and you can only do things according to the rules.
After freshening up, Kumandong asked Yuhuan to wipe her hair in the room.
Suddenly, the ground shook beneath his feet, like an earthquake, and he almost knocked the oil lamp off the table.
"There was an earthquake. Gu Mandong's face couldn't help but change, and he immediately grabbed Yuhuan's hand and prepared to run outside, but before the two of them could run out, the vibration stopped again.
Even so, Gu Mandong was still not at ease, and stood in the open space of the courtyard with Yuhuan, so as not to have another earthquake later.
"Mandon, it's okay for you to be fine. But you're wearing too little now, so you don't get cold. Jiang Tianluo saw that Gu Mandong was fine, breathed a sigh of relief, and took off his coat to put it on for her.
"Thank you. ”
Tightening the coat he was wearing, Gu Mandong was in a good mood.
During this period of time, Jiang Tianluo only cared about hurrying, rarely talked and chatted with her, and although he slept in the same bed at night, he was just sleeping in the same bed and dreaming differently, each sleeping separately.
She couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
But now seeing Jiang Tianluo's actions, at least he is not really indifferent.
The two waited in the courtyard for a while, and seeing that there was no abnormal movement, Jiang Tianluo personally sent Gu Mandong back to the house before turning around and leaving.
After a dreamless night, after waking up early and having breakfast at the White Horse Temple, the abbot of Lonely Sky led the two to pay homage to Gu Mandong's parents and brother.
Jiang Tianluo beside her had a solemn look on her face, and she kowtowed with great caution, not just perfunctory, but sincerely worshiped the dead.
Although he was still cold-faced, this person was not as cold as his expression.
After the worship, the abbot was invited to do a ritual, and after the ritual, it was not early.
Jiang Tianluo asked Gu Mandong to go to the lotus pond in the temple for a walk, looking up at the stars in the sky from time to time, as if he had something to say.
"Do you have anything to say?" asked Kumandon.
"Hmm. Today, I got the news that the blocked road has been opened. Tomorrow I will go to Jingyang County to run errands, and I have already told the abbot that you can stay here for a few days and wait for me to come back. ”
"I thought it was something, but it was. Let's put it bluntly. Anyway, Jingyang County is the destination of your trip, so what's embarrassing. ”
