64. Incense

Taohua didn't want to enter the palace at all, and when she returned to Jiang's house, Xiao's face was excited and she went directly to Baicaozhai to see Mrs. Jiang, and specially pointed out that the emperor had allowed "go a few more times" today: "Look, this recipe is opened, and it must be sent in first." Besides, after using the medicine for a while, I have to let Sister Tao go to check the pulse again......"

Old lady Jiang didn't have any expression on her face, and only raised her eyelids when she had nothing to say before she raised her eyelids: "You can get busy." โ€

Xiao Shi opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated. After thinking about it all the way, I finally decided that the words I said to Jiang Meihua in the palace today could not be told to the Yu family. This mother-in-law and aunt is certainly good to her, but she is too timid, and she always feels that she is surnamed Yu, so she has to follow the Queen Mother, but at the moment, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother do not treat them as a family.

made up his mind, Xiaoshi changed his clothes and washed his face and went to Yu's house, and told the half-truths about today's events, hiding Jiang Meihua's idea, and only saying that the emperor was "quite sympathetic" to Jiang Meihua, and promised the family to visit more.

After listening to this, Yu Shi recited the Buddha, and hurriedly urged: "Send someone to take a look, if the old lady comes out with a prescription, send it to the palace as soon as possible." โ€

Xiao's fooled his mother-in-law here, but Taohua didn't have a very pleasant conversation with Mrs. Jiang.

"The eldest sister is depressed, thinks a lot, and has been quiet for a long time, and her blood is not smooth. If you say that the prescription prepared by the imperial doctor in front of you is not wrong, but no one is dedicated, but it is just a matter of asking for no fault. Now the big sister is bent on recovering as before, which is not something that can be achieved in three days or two. โ€

Old lady Jiang squinted her eyes and listened, and waited for Taohua to finish speaking before she said, "Can you come up with a recipe?" โ€

"Fang Zi can be drafted, but it can't meet the big sister's wishes." What Jiang Meihua wants is to restore her former slender figure and ice muscles and jade bones, and she also wants to achieve it quickly, which must be supplemented by exercise and control diet, and it is impossible to have that condition in the palace, "If you use medicine alone, I am afraid that it will hurt your body." โ€

Old lady Jiang nodded: "You come up with it, and write it out together with the diet and exercise recipe you said." Whether it can be done or not depends on Sister Mei herself. โ€

Taohua put down her pen and wrote a prescription first, this is not the warm supplement prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor before, and it contains a sparse medicine. Old lady Jiang took it and looked at it, frowning: "Sister Mei'er is thinking like this now?" โ€

Taohua wrote the dietary taboo without raising her head, and replied not very politely: "That place in the palace, I don't bother how to get by." The big sister is like this now, and naturally she is getting more and more sad. โ€

Old Lady Jiang let out a long sigh and didn't say anything more. After Taohua wrote down the exercise method, he shook his head: "Five poultry plays, this woman fights indecently." โ€

"Just hit it in the house." Taohua pointed to the two items of squatting and push-ups with weights on the back, "This is done in the house, just don't let people see it." โ€

"W-what?" Rao is old lady Jiang is well-informed, and she is also confused.

Taohua opened her eyes and said nonsense: "I made up these two words myself." It turned out to be a patient who had been a performer in the pharmacy, and although he was older, he was in excellent shape. When gossiping, I will say: since childhood, I boxed and walked the plum blossom pile, and I had to squat with a sandbag on my back, and I did push-ups with a sandbag on my back, so my waist was thin and my abdomen was tight, and although I was old, I didn't have fat. โ€

"Reasonable...... Old Lady Jiang nodded heavily, "You have some ideas, very good." A doctor must be a teacher of the ancients but not the ancients, who can see what others have not seen and dare to do what others have not done, is the talent of a generation. If you can only use the test prescription, you are just mediocre. โ€

Taohua felt a little weak-hearted, and she also used a "test prescription": "In fact, someone used it before it was known, and it was not innovative." โ€

Old lady Jiang waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to be so polite: "Your recipe is clearly written, and what you do every day and when you do it have been indicated, and you can know it at first sight." โ€

Taohua also plans to draw a stick figure demonstration next to those two actions: "Uncle Grandfather, I don't want to go to the palace again." "When she met the emperor today, although it was a coincidence no matter how you look at it, she always felt that her heart was not very steady. To put it bluntly, she doesn't have a good impression of Jiang Meihua. Although the name of this big sister is "Mei Hua", it seems that now it does not have the calm and composure of Meihua's arrogance, but it is indescribably gloomy and fanatical. She suspected that Jiang Meihua had a little psychological problem because of this miscarriage.

Old lady Jiang raised his eyes to look at her and nodded: "Okay." โ€

It's as simple as that?

"If the big sister comes to summon someone elseโ€”"

Old lady Jiang smiled faintly: "She is not called yet." "Low-ranking concubines, if the family wants to visit the palace, they have to hand over the sign to ask for a meeting, and they can only go after the palace approves it, and they are far from qualified to take the initiative to summon their family members to see them.

"Don't talk about that. Just go back and ask your aunt to find someone to send to the palace, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Old lady Jiang put away a few pieces of paper, "I will naturally explain this matter to your uncle and grandmother." He looked at Taohua and showed a smile, "In a few days, I will go to Xingjiao Temple to offer incense, and the young girl's house will wear a beautiful new dress, and go to relax." โ€

For the ladies of the high-ranking families, going to the temple to offer incense is an interesting activity, especially in late April, when the weather is neither hot nor cold, and it is suitable for travel.

Taohua got up early in the morning and had breakfast, Jiang Bohua couldn't wait to run outside. Taohua dressed him, and before he went out of the house, he saw Jiang Xi wearing a brand-new azure soft satin jacket rarely, and couldn't help laughing: "Daddy is a talent today, as if he is going to-" When the words came to his mouth, he suddenly came to his senses and swallowed back the word blind date.

Jiang Xi's face turned red from his daughter's laughter, and he coughed dryly: "Nonsense." Looking up and down at her daughter, a light shirt with pink and dark flowers entwined with branches and lotus, a skirt with pale cyan five-colored hemming on the bottom, a bun on her head, only a hairpin inlaid with rubies was bright in color, and a drop-shaped crystal pendant hung on both ears, like two drops of dew.

Jiang Xi looked at it and was very satisfied. Although people nowadays keep saying that they should emphasize virtue and ignore sex, but girls are always born well, and they always take advantage of girls, and I haven't seen saints say, "I haven't seen a good virtue like a womanizer". Besides, you can't see this thing at a glance, but you can know the good color at a glance. What's more, although Taohua was born brightly, but she is not decent, and it is by no means the type that the main mothers will regard as "foxy". It's a pity that my daughter has more benefits, and I can't see them all at once.

"What does Daddy think?" Taohua saw Jiang Xi staring at herself up and down for a while, and actually wandered out of the world again, and couldn't help but laugh a little, "At this time, everyone is afraid that everyone will go to the second gate, right?" โ€

"Oh-oh-" Jiang Xi was a little absent-minded, and was reminded by his daughter to think, "Let's go, let's go over too." He reached out and picked up his son.

Cao Shi also came out of the house with Jiang Yanhua, and when he saw Taohua, his eyes were dodgy. Although Jiang Xi treats her like nothing these days, she hides in the house and doesn't dare to see Taohua, but she can't escape when she goes to Yu's place every day, so she accompanies her smiling face from beginning to end. Jiang Yanhua was a lot silent, and he didn't go out of the door, and he didn't mention the Jinghai Marquis Mansion anymore, but he could do a lot of needlework for Jiang Xi and Jiang Bohua.

It's hard to go out today, and both of them are wearing new clothes. Cao's is a lotus-blue long Luo shirt, Jiang Yanhua is a lilac-colored shirt, and there are only a few pieces of jewelry on his head, which is so simple that it is even a little deserted. Fortunately, this is going to the temple, and it doesn't hurt to be in front of the Bodhisattva, if you go out as a guest, you will be laughed at by people.

Taohua glanced at it lightly. The Cao family can't get rid of being a fool in his life, Jiang Yanhua still knows to twist back to make needlework for Jiang Xi immediately, but the Cao family will only hide in the house, and he doesn't know to care about Jiang Xi's daily life. For the first time, Taohua had the idea of giving Jiang Xina a concubine - this dynasty does not pay attention to single nobles, she will always have to get married one day, and Jiang Xi will have a few decades after that, so does he not even have a person who knows cold and hot?

The Jiang family's house was not big, so everyone had to gather at the second gate, and then go to the side gate together to take the car.

Most of the Jiang family was dispatched today. Jiang Jun is a person with errands, and he can't be idle until he has a day off. Jiang Zhu was busy running and had no time to flatter. Jiang Songhua and Jiang Yuhua's brothers are studying in school, so only Jiang Xifeng is the old lady Jiang in the male family, and Jiang Nanhua takes care of his mother and sister. As for Jiang Bohua, he doesn't count......

The ladies and dependents all went out, and there were four or five carriages alone, and the Jiang family did not have so many carriages and horses, so they had to rent them outside. So the carriages and horses lined up in the side gate alley, everyone returned to everyone, and the maids had to carry all kinds of spare things, and they were busy for more than half an hour, and finally set off.

Yu's two daughters-in-law waited for them in the most spacious car, and the girls were all handed over to Cao's aunt to take care of. Of course, this is just a good talk, the Cao family is not even good at taking care of himself, it is nothing more than assigning a few girls to a few cars.

Taohua took Jiang Bohua and sat in a car with Jiang Lianhua and Jiang Xinghua. sent Jiang Danhua to sit with Cao and Jiang Yanhua, and the beautiful name was "spacious over there". Since Mrs. Jiang decided to let her enter the palace with Xiao's family, Jiang Danhua's face was always not good-looking when she saw her, and a few days ago I heard that she actually met the emperor when she entered the palace, so I couldn't wait to look at her with my nostrils. Taohua didn't feel good about dealing with a half-grown child, and she didn't want to face her cold face.

Jiang Lianhua has walked a lot, and it is not uncommon for incense to be incense, but she is quite interested in Master Xuanzang's relics pagoda, and said that she has seen several temples dedicated to relics outside: "Some people say that it is a finger bone relic of Sakyamuni, and I have to go in to see it after donating incense money, and I see something that looks like ivory, but the color is darker and contained in a glass box, and I am not allowed to get close, and I don't see it clearly." However, I saw one that year, saying that it was the relic of the abbot in the temple of the previous dynasty, and the color was dark blue, like agate. It is said that this abbot is not very famous, and the temple is also a small temple, but that year's military disaster, the local people do not have one out of ten, and how many bones are not collected. So he went out and bought a coffin to bury him. When the bones were all collected, he also passed away, and twelve relics were burned behind him, all of which said that he was a person who cultivated great merits and was a real enlightened monk. โ€

Taohua nodded: "Doing a good deed is better than copying ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures." โ€

Jiang Lianhua hurriedly patted her gently: "This is to see the Bodhisattva, but you can't talk nonsense." He lowered his voice again, "Grandmother has also copied a number of Buddhist scriptures to offer to the Bodhisattva." โ€

Momoka smiled and nodded. The Yu family has already handed over the feed to the Xiao family, and the relationship with the old lady Jiang is cold, in addition to laughing with Jiang Danhua on weekdays, there is also a lot of time, all of which is used to copy the scriptures. This time I went to Xingjiao Temple, and there was a box of scriptures to be enshrined, which showed that I really copied a lot.

Jiang Bohua was not interested in relics or anything, so he just lifted the corner of the car curtain and looked out, then clapped his hands and turned back to his sister and said, "There is a tall tower there!" โ€

Taohua also glanced out and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the villain's eyes are good, and it has arrived." "The tower is not very high, and it is hidden in the shade of the trees, it is rare for Jiang Baihua to see it.

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Lianhua ouched, Taohua looked back, and Jiang Xinghua somehow turned over a cup of tea in her hand, almost spilling on the skirts of the two.

The weather is hot, everyone is wearing light-colored clothes, if this tea is spilled, a piece of clothing will not be able to look at it at all. Jiang Xinghua was also startled, and hurriedly touched the handkerchief: "I'm sorry second sister, but is it wet?" โ€

Fortunately, Jiang Lianhua also wanted to look outside, so she made up for Taohua, and there was a little space between the two. And the teacup is small, and the amount of water in it is only a few mouthfuls of water, and one or two drops are splashed on the embroidered shoes, and the skirt is fine. Jiang Lianhua shook off her skirt and looked at it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay." What's wrong with you, your hands are burned by tea? โ€

The tea poured out is all warm, and it will be hot wherever it is. Jiang Xinghua muttered: "I don't know why, I wanted to put the cup down......"

Jiang Lianhua just asked casually, since it was okay, she put it down. As for the little water spilled in the car, when it arrives at the ground in a while, there will naturally be a maid to clean it up.

Jiang Xinghua sat stiffly, her back was tightly leaning on the carriage, her hands in her skirt were clasped together, and her knuckles were a little white. Jiang Bohua saw the pagoda just now, and she clearly remembered that the first time she met Liu Zhijing, she was there!

This time, she actually didn't want to come. Although many memories have been blurred, there are some things that will not be forgotten until you die.

In the previous life, the whole family did have such a group trip. When they arrived at the temple, Jiang Xi's family went to offer incense to the Li family, and Jiang Danhua wanted to see the relics pagoda, so of course she could only follow. Just in front of the relic, she ran into Liu Zhijing.

At that time, I didn't even know this man. But a gust of wind blew her handkerchief to the branches, and several maids couldn't reach it. Suddenly, a young man came from the side, who also seemed to be a talent, raised his hand and took off the handkerchief, returned it to the maid next to him, and then left without saying a word. Later, it wasn't until she got married that she found out that her husband was the same person she had met in front of the stupa that year.

In that life, she thought it was fate, but it wasn't until later that she learned that there was also a kind of fate called bad fate. Could it be that she still wants to see Liu Zhijing today? ...... in the future

"Nope." Jiang Xinghua said subconsciously. This time, she must follow Taohua closely, and definitely don't go to see any relics! Now it seems that everything is not static, at least only Taohua was the one who entered the palace last time, so she should also play the spirit of the Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info, no matter what, she will never marry Liu Zhijing!

"What did the fourth sister say?" Jiang Lianhua turned her head to look at her suspiciously, "It's coming, won't the fourth sister go down?" โ€

Jiang Xinghua realized that the car had slowed down, and hurriedly covered up: "No, I mean don't worry, it's not too late to get off when the car stops." โ€

Although it is not a festival or a festival, the pilgrims of Xingjiao Temple are still in an endless stream. The carriage stopped two miles from the mountain gate, and in front of it was a wide bluestone staircase leading to the mountain gate. As a rule, you can't sit in a sedan chair here, you have to walk up on your own.

Taohua got out of the car, took Jiang Bohua's hand and said, "Don't run around, you must follow firmly." There are so many people here, if you run around, you won't be found. โ€

Although Jiang Bohua has experience in going out, he has never seen so many people, and he is a little timid in his heart, so he grabbed Taohua's hand and nodded. The two siblings were talking, when suddenly another carriage drove over, the people on the wheel snapped and waved their whips, and the attendants on both sides of the horses shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" โ€

There are a lot of cars and horses in front of Xingjiao Temple, and there is no spacious road at all, and everyone will slow down when they arrive here, so as not to collide and hook, and it seems that there is really no such arrogance.

The Jiang family had just arrived, and the carriage had not yet completely entered the roadside procession, so the carriage coming from behind was almost next to the Jiang family's carriage.

Taohua picked up Jiang Bohua, hurriedly took two steps back, and raised his eyes to look at the carriage. Because it is to worship the Buddha, although the general sedan chair is of different sizes, it is relatively simple, but this carriage is very gorgeously decorated, like a peacock.

The silver-red cicada-wing gauze curtain hung on the car window had been lifted to the side, revealing half of a woman's face, looking out at the bustle. Taohua raised her eyes and looked at this person. With a pair of eyes, Taohua only felt that this face seemed to be a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it, and the carriage had already driven over, but the curtain was still lifted, and the people inside seemed to be looking at her all the time.

The carriage was so arrogant that someone next to it was already displeased: "Which carriage and horse is that, I don't know if there are many people here, will it hurt people if you travel so fast?" "There are many officials in the capital like dogs, although there is not enough weight for Xingjiao Temple to entertain guests alone, but there are also many officials, some are young and vigorous, and they can't help it.

Someone immediately replied: "Ahem, forget it, it's Cheng Enbo's carriage, which has always been unscrupulous." โ€

As soon as the three words of Cheng Enbo came out, everyone was silent.

Today's queen mother and queen are surnamed Yu, and today's cabinet elders are also surnamed Yu. Yu Ge Lao is the queen's father, but he is only the queen mother's cousin. The Queen Mother has a sibling brother, but he died when he was in his thirties.

In terms of politics, the Queen Mother and Yu Ge have always been a hardcore family, but in terms of family affection, the Queen Mother is of course closer to her brother. Now that his brother is hanging, his remaining only son, Yu Sirui, naturally gets more love from the Queen Mother.

Yu Sirui is really not worthy of his name, he is not willing to use his brain to think, let alone have any wisdom, but is a gentleman who eats, drinks and has fun. Cockfighting and lackeys, messing with flowers and grass, reading and learning martial arts, all of them can't.

When Lao Chengenbo passed away, Yu Sirui was only thirteen years old, without a father, his widowed mother had already doted on him, and with the support of an aunt who was the queen, this became longer and more crooked. When he became an adult, he was a tyrant in the capital, but he didn't do any big evil, so the former queen who had been promoted to the queen mother always felt that he was not too crooked, even if there were occasional words and officials impeaching him for robbing people's daughters or arson horses and hurting people, they were all saved by the queen mother, and afterwards the speech officials were also worn by the Yu family. After doing this a few times, no one dared to care about him anymore. So much so that now when Jingli hears the three words Cheng Enbo, he has to walk around. Although he is only an earl, he is more proud than the prince.

Next to him, someone familiar with the affairs of the capital muttered: "What are you doing in the temple?" When will he worship the Bodhisattva......"

Another said: "Whatever, let's just stay away." "Muttering, the carriage is gone, and everyone is gone.

This is just a small episode, although the carriage of the Cheng Enbo family was arrogant, it did not hurt anyone, and the Jiang family cleaned up a little, and walked up the steps.

Xingjiao Temple, also known as the Tang Dynasty Huguo Xingjiao Temple, was built in the second year of the general chapter of Tang Gaozong, is the burial place of Master Xuanzang, Master Xuanzang, Master Peeping Ji and Master Yuan, these three are the two generations and three ancestors of China's only knowledge sect, its final burial place, the natural incense is vigorous, the pilgrims are endless, the three relics pagodas stand side by side, where someone comes, the three towers must be respected.

There are many people in the Jiang family, first incense in the main hall, Yu really presented a bunch of Buddhist scriptures, and added incense money, so that he can move freely: "I am tired, go to the Zen temple to rest first, if you are tired, go with me, if you want to go to see the relics pagoda, you must bring a good person, not alone." โ€

Naturally, there is also a Zen temple for pilgrims to rest. The place here is big, there are many meditation rooms, because the incense is prosperous, quite some people are proud to be able to have a fixed meditation room in the temple, and there are many high-ranking officials to show elegance, from time to time to charter a meditation room to live for a few days.

The Jiang family does not have this special treatment of "reserving a private room", but if they donate a sum of sesame oil money, they can also get a quiet courtyard in the back. Yu wanted to rest, and the two daughters-in-law and a niece-in-law should be waiting by the side, but the young granddaughters did not feel tired at all, and they could go out for a walk by themselves.

Jiang Danhua was the first to jump up: "Go see the Relic Pagoda!" โ€

Jiang Xinghua didn't say a word, sat next to Taohua, and pretended to sort out Jiang Bohua's trouser legs.

Old lady Jiang didn't talk much along the way, and only then did she say: "The third child and the peach girl went with me to see their medicine garden, I heard that they have some medicinal herbs here that have been brought back from the West, and some have been planted alive." โ€

This is what Jiang Xi is most interested in, Taohua also led Jiang Bohua to stand up, Jiang Xinghua hurriedly said: "I'm with the third sister." Jiang Yanhua has been silent these days, and when he entered the temple, he didn't say a word, didn't take a single step, just sat by the Cao family, and didn't plan to go out.

Jiang Lianhua was not interested in medicinal herbs, but wanted to see the scenery in the temple. Jing said: "Ask your brother to go with you, don't get lost." โ€

As a result, Jiang Danhua became a lonely. Her lips moved, she wanted to lose her temper but couldn't find a reason, so she could only stare at Jiang Xinghua hatefully and go out.

Xiaoshi was also unhappy in his heart, but since Jiang Xinghua fell into the water last time, after the old lady Jiang spoke, Jiang Xinghua was like an extra talisman, and it was not easy to reprimand casually. What's more, this is still outside, and she can only turn a blind eye.
