Chapter 56: Baohua Temple
Although Lord Shen didn't think that the Mu family would help them go to see the queen, but now they are desperate, it is almost midnight, and the longer it drags on, the more dangerous the daughter is.
At this time, Master Mu and Mrs. Mu had already fallen asleep, where was the porter willing to report, shouting to drive the Shen family and his wife away, Cui's heart to save the girl, seeing that the porter refused to be accommodating, he knelt in front of the porter in a hurry, and asked him to be accommodating no matter what.
The old man who watched the porter saw that Cui's was dressed luxuriously, and at first glance he was a noble lady, and a noble lady actually knelt in front of his humble porter, so it can be seen that there must be something very important to see the lord and the lady, so he gritted his teeth and took the old man and his wife into the second gate, woke up the mother-in-law on duty, and asked her to go inside to spread the word.
The mother-in-law on duty happened to be the porter's wife, and both husband and wife were kind-hearted, and when they heard Cui's story about their daughter's abduction, they knew that the matter was important, so they ran inside to spread the word.
"You two can rest assured that you are here, my lord and wife are the most kind-hearted and will definitely help you!" The old porter comforted them kindly.
Shen Dazhi and his wife were grateful, if this old man refused to be accommodating, or if he met an unsympathetic mother-in-law, they would really die of death tonight!
Cui Shi quietly took off a yellow, orange and orange red gold bracelet on his wrist, stuffed it into the hand of the old man in the porter, and said: "Old man, it's a big night, it's bothering you old couple, this idea is left, let's keep it for you old couple to drink and eat!" ”
"Oh, how does this work?"
The old man in the porter seemed to be burned, and suddenly retracted his hand, saying that he would not accept Cui's Xie Yi at all, "Madame, take it back, who hasn't had a difficult time, little old man, I can't help you much, this little thing is not worth taking Mrs. to heart!" ”
The Cui family insisted on refusing to accept him, so he had to give up, but when Lord Shen saw that the subordinates of the Mu family were so loyal and respectful, he couldn't help but feel joyful, and said that if there is a master, there must be a servant, and the subordinates are simple and loyal, and the head of the family must be the same, presumably this Lord Mu must be a humble gentleman, so he can paint such a good servant, it seems that his daughter has hope!
Sure enough, not long after, the mother-in-law came back and said that Lord Mu and Mrs. Mu had already gotten up, and invited the two of them to go inside.
Lord Shen and his wife were overjoyed and hurriedly followed their mother-in-law in.
Mu Zhongqing and his wife got up and instructed the girls on duty to pour tea and prepare to entertain guests. Du Shi had heard Cai Wei talk about the Shen family's friendship with her, and also said that she had been taken care of by the Shen family when she went to Lingbei, and on this basis, the couple would not refuse to see Lord Shen and his wife.
Moreover, their Fei'er has also been taken captive, just by virtue of this, Mu Zhongqing and his wife will definitely help the Shen family, with the same experience, no one can better understand the anxious feeling of the Shen family and his wife!
Lord Shen took his wife Cui into the backyard and was invited into the flower hall, as soon as they met, without waiting for each other's salutes, Cui took a step forward and knelt down without saying a word.
"Lord Mu, Mrs. Mu, please raise your noble hand, uncle's poor little girl!"
Du Shi hurriedly stood up, personally helped her up, and said: "Mrs. Shen, get up and speak, Cai Wei once told me that you two have known her for many years and have taken care of her, we are grateful to you two too late, how can we accept your great gift!" ”
Mu Zhongqing also said: "I have heard what happened to the two of you, but I don't know if the two of you have reported to the official?" When the bandit kidnapped Ling Ai, did he leave any clues? ”
Lord Shen arched his hand, answered Mu Zhongqing's questions one by one, and then said humbly: "When the Xiaguan couple first arrived in Beijing, there was no one they knew each other, and now that such a thing happened, there was no way to ask for help everywhere, and in desperation, I had to come to the house for help, and I hope that Lord Mu and Mrs. Mu can be gracious and try to pass on the little girl's abduction to the queen. ”
After that, he shook it deeply.
Mu Zhongqing hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Lord Shen is serious, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, you and the little girl have known each other for many years, Mu should try his best to help, but at this time, the key has been placed in the palace, and outsiders really can't send a letter into the palace, it is better for Mu to send someone to Ying Tianfu Yin's house, please send more people to help the two find it, and Mu also send more people to assist, if you really can't find it, wait until tomorrow when the palace door is opened, and then try to send a letter into the palace, what do you think?" ”
Lord Shen and his wife were very disappointed when they heard that they couldn't ask the queen mother to help, although Lord Mu also promised to help find it, and also promised to ask Ying Tianfu to help find it, but if the chrysanthemum was really taken captive by Mo Zili, neither Lord Mu nor Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin could save the chrysanthemum from the Mo family.
However, Master Mu said that he did his best, and although they were not satisfied, they couldn't say anything else. Shen Luming thought for a while, and said euphemistically: "Thank you Lord Mu for your generous help, speaking of which, Xiaguan and the son of the second room of the Liguo Mansion also have some friendship, but the official position of the lower official is low, and he doesn't dare to go to the Liguo Mansion rashly at night to disturb, I don't know if Lord Mu can send someone to take our couple to the Liguo Mansion to find Zili Gongzi, the lower officials think that with the help of Lord Yin and Master Mu of Tianfu Mansion, with the help of Liguo Mansion, the little girl will definitely be found!" ”
Shen Luming's idea is very simple, if it is really Mo Zili who kidnapped their daughter, as long as he is transferred out, he will not be able to violate their daughter, and when they see the queen tomorrow morning, they will tell the queen mother again, and the queen mother will definitely be able to save her.
Of course, it is not ruled out that his daughter has been violated by him, after all, it has been the middle of the night, and his daughter has been abducted for several hours, and it is not impossible if something really happens. It's just that what has happened is destined to be irreparable, and he only hopes to do more for his daughter to reduce the possibility of her being hurt.
After he said this, Du suddenly remembered that the last time Cai Wei and Fei'er returned to the door, they talked about the fact that the second son of the Liguo Mansion was interested in the young lady of the Shen family, and now that Miss Shen has an accident, the Liguo Mansion will definitely help, the Liguo Mansion is huge, as long as they make a move, it should not be difficult to find the young lady of the Shen family.
So, he said to Mu Zhongqing: "Although it is a little inappropriate to go to the Liguo Mansion at night to disturb, but saving people is like fighting a fire, and I can't take care of so much at the moment, Liguo Gong and the old lady are both kind-hearted people, and I don't think we will be blamed, so it is better for Xianggong to go on a trip in person and help Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen!" ”
Mu Zhongqing is also a kind-hearted person, not to mention that he also had the same experience of his daughter being taken captive as the Shen family and his wife, so he agreed to his wife's mention without hesitation, and after getting dressed inside, he took Shen Luming and his wife to the Liguo Mansion......
When he arrived at the Liguo Mansion, it was already the second half of the night, and Mu Zhongqing didn't dare to disturb the Liguo Gong and his wife, so he only asked people to pass it to the general and the general's wife, and let them come out to see him.
At this time, Mo Ziqi just slept with Fei'er, and now, they have the reality of husband and wife, Mo Ziqi, who tasted meat for the first time, suddenly became obsessed with this feeling of wanting to die, and every day he had to toss until midnight before he was willing to rest, and now the toss is over, and he just slept for less than a quarter of an hour, and he heard that the mother-in-law on duty at night came to report to his father-in-law asking to see him, Mu Zhongqing did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly put on his clothes and came out to meet.
However, although his father-in-law indicated that he wanted to see the couple, he was reluctant to wake up Fei'er, the little girl was already so tormented by him that she couldn't get up, even if she woke her up, it was useless, so he was the only one who came out to meet.
After meeting, the two sides exchanged courtesies, and Mu Zhongqing truthfully told Mo Ziqi about the abduction of Miss Shen's family, and wanted him to go to see Mo Zili to see if Mo Zili could help find it, and if he was free, help find it!
After Mo Ziqi heard about this, he was really taken aback, he also knew about the recent situation in the family, and now the whole family is trying to find a way to promote the marriage between Mo Zili and Miss Shen Family, I didn't expect Miss Shen to disappear at this time, I don't know which one didn't know how to die, and dared to touch the daughter-in-law in the Mo family.
After Mo Ziqi listened, he went to Qiushuangzhai and discussed the matter with Mo Zili.
When he passed, Mo Zili had already fallen asleep, and was woken up by Mo Ziqi and told him about it, so he immediately fell asleep, hurriedly put on his shoes, and ran to see Shen Luming and his wife.
Originally, Lord Shen and Cui's deeply suspected that Mo Zili had kidnapped their daughter, but now when they saw Mo Zili's anxious look, their eyes were red, and they immediately removed most of the doubts in their hearts.
If it was really Mo Zili who kidnapped the chrysanthemum, then his acting skills would be too high, but Shen Luming and his wife are also people who have eaten salty salt for most of their lives, and they can share whether the other party has acting skills or true feelings.
The moment they saw Mo Zili, both husband and wife felt that their daughter was not taken away by others, it couldn't be Mo Zili's doing, look at his hot appearance, he was about to eat people, this kind of expression, you can't pretend to be it!
"What the hell is going on? When was Chrysanthemum taken captive? Who did this to you? Are there any clues? Mo Zili asked anxiously, unable to keep calm anymore.
Shen Luming had no choice but to tell his daughter about the abduction again, Mo Zili listened, his face was gloomy, and he immediately summoned people to go out to look for it.
Mo Ziqi politely said to Mu Zhongqing: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Ziqi will also gather people to go out to search, as long as Miss Shen is still in the capital, she will definitely be found!" ”
Shen Luming and his wife thanked him and followed Mu Zhongqing out of the Liguo Mansion!
At this time, although it is basically certain that it is not Mo Zi who is leaving, the couple's mood is not relaxed, if it is not Mo Zi who is leaving, who will it be? Why did they kidnap their daughter? The general kidnapping is not for money, or for revenge, although they have a little money, but in the capital where the nobles gather, their wealth is nothing at all, and when they first arrive in the capital, there will be no enemies, who robbed their daughter?
It was noisy until dawn, and there was still no news about Chrysanthemum, whether it was Mo Ziqi or Mo Zili, whether it was Ying Tianfu or Mu Zhongqing's people, they didn't find the slightest clue, and Chrysanthemum disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace at all!
Early the next morning, Du Shi handed a sign into the palace, wanting to meet Cai Wei and discuss Shen Juhua's matter with Cai Wei.
However, there was news in the palace that the emperor was in poor health, and the queen was serving sick, and she had no time to meet the wife, so that all the women and courtiers were not allowed to enter the palace to disturb the emperor's recuperation!
When Cui Shi heard the news, he was so anxious that he almost hit the wall, and Lord Shen was also so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning on the ground non-stop.
The queen can't count on it, what can they do? Although the general and Mo Zili are trying their best to help, Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin is also trying his best to investigate the matter, but they have been looking for it all night, and they have not found the slightest clue, if the queen mother makes a move, there must be a will, so that all the people of the world can come out to find it together, I believe that the chrysanthemum will be found soon!
However, there is no hope for ......
They didn't know that the queen mother who thought she was serving was wandering the streets of Bianzhou side by side with the emperor at this time.
The white-haired tiger could not reach Lingbei Wangcheng overnight, and had to take a rest in the middle, so they chose Bianzhou City, the most prosperous city in the north, as a transit station, and wanted to wander around Bianzhou Mansion for a day, and then set off for Lingbei in the evening.
Bianzhou Mansion is the most prosperous and rich city in the whole northern region, second only to Lin'an City, where the trade is developed, the most famous commodities are mink, ginseng, deer antler, 80% of the ginseng and mink antler velvet of the Great Jin Kingdom are from here to flow all over the country.
Cai Wei plans to buy a batch of ginseng for about ten years and move it to the space to plant, and now, her ginseng has been opened all over the country, because the business is good, most of the ginseng in the space has been dug up, and she must continue to plant in order to ensure that the supply of various ginseng banks continues to be supplied!
After walking a few houses, she bought a lot of ginseng, which she put into the basket she carried with her, and the basket had a lid, and after the ginseng was put into the basket, it was directly put into the space. And the long eyebrows in the space took a small shovel and planted the ginseng she bought into the woods.
Cai Wei was shopping and strolling around at the same time, and the super high appearance of the two people attracted the attention of countless passers-by.
In the face of all kinds of envy or amazement eyes, Nangong Yi did not feel uncomfortable at all, he took Cai Wei's hand and walked calmly under the gaze of everyone, there was still a little bit of trembling in his heart, as if he was showing off his lady to others, this is not the capital, no one knows them, so even if the behavior of the two holding hands is a little frivolous, there is no need to worry that there will be officials who accuse him of frivolity, let alone be criticized by the people.
However, Xu has been in this world for a long time, and Cai Wei's thinking has also become conservative, walking on the street hand in hand with men, greeting all kinds of eyes from the people, which makes her a little uncomfortable, especially when she sees the man's swagger, which makes her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Nangong Yi, let's not hold hands, look, so many people are watching us!"
"Afraid of what? They are envious of your vision and have found such a handsome and dashing father-in-law! ”
Cai Wei twitched the corners of her mouth, defeated by the man's narcissistic spirit, she secretly glanced at the man, and actually found a bit of triumphant look on that handsome face, and she didn't feel a sense of shame.
This man, who was once noble and reserved, cold and arrogant and domineering? How did you become such a showy child? Besides, what does he have to show off, but is his lady a little better looking than someone else's? What's the big deal?
"Brother-in-law, you said that if we run out like this, will my sister be sad at home!"
Nangong Yi was stunned and didn't understand what Cai Wei was talking about, but when he saw the disgusted eyes from all directions, he immediately understood that she was playing a prank!
The man's face darkened suddenly, and when he saw everyone's disdainful eyes and malicious smiles, he couldn't get up any longer, he took her hand, dragged her away, and fled......
"Hahaha......"
Cai Wei laughed happily, thinking that it was really funny to tease him like this, making him show off and scream! She has a way to cure him!
was teased by Cai Wei, Nangong Yi didn't dare to show up on the street anymore, lest everyone point fingers at him, so he hired a car and took Cai Wei to the most famous Baohua Temple in Bianzhou Prefecture.
This Baohua Temple is a famous treasure temple in Bianzhou Mansion, built for the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, very prestigious, not for another, only for this temple and other temples have a difference, that is, this temple has a descendant hall, it is very spiritual, if you go to burn incense to ask for an heir, really pray for a man to get a man, pray for a woman to get a woman. And the children were all born great and fat, and no sickness was born.
Because of these effects, regardless of the relatives of the eunuchs, all the infertile people, there are no children and grandchildren who seek heirs, and even the childless officials in the capital, there are many people who come from thousands of miles to pray. Therefore, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei both know this famous temple, not only they know, but also the people of the entire Great Jin Dynasty, and there are very few people who don't know about this temple.
With this fame, Baohua Temple is crowded with people every day, just like a temple fair, in addition to the people from all over the country who come to ask for children, there are other people who come to the temple to pray for incense, and come to play.
Everyone is willing to come to Baohua Temple, in addition to the reputation of Baohua Temple, but also because the monks of Baohua Temple are compassionate and kind, treat the pilgrims equally, regardless of the status of the pilgrims, whether they are generous or not, the monks are kind to each other, never snobbish.
Unlike other temples, although the monks are famous, their hearts are more ruthless than the laity. A few pots of tea, a few plates of fruits, is the bait for fishing, regardless of whether the pilgrims are rich or poor, they will send a sparse book when they come in to raise money and food. It is not a pretext to make up the Buddha with gold, it must be said to rebuild the temple, and if there is nothing to say, the incense lamp oil in front of the Buddha will be named. If you meet someone who is willing to give up, it is a disturbable house, and there are all kinds of flattery in front of you, and you will deceive from time to time; If you meet someone who is unwilling to give up, you will be a miser, and you will slander in all kinds of ways behind your back, and you will have to spit a few mouthfuls of foam when you walk over.
However, Baohua Temple is different from other places, often building palaces and pavilions, and does not open its mouth to recruit people. For this reason, the monks of this temple are kind, respectful, and willing to give alms, which is several times better than the fundraising. Moreover, according to legend, this temple has a very spiritual descendant hall, which makes this Baohua Temple famous, and it is impossible to believe in it.
Cai Wei and Nangong Yi sat in a carriage, arrived at Baohua Temple, after getting off the car, saw that the surroundings of Baohua Temple, are wrapped in powder walls, the wall is planted with high acacia ancient willows, a red vermilion lacquer gatehouse, hanging gold books on the flat forehead, inscribed "Baohua Temple" four big characters. Opposite the mountain gate is a belt of light wall, and many empty sedan cars are parked next to the wall. Inside and outside the mountain gate, the comings and goings of burning incense are crowded, so it is not lively.
The two followed the flow of people into the temple, walked to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and saw layers of pavilions and stacked corridors. Outside the Daxiong Palace, colorful clouds cover Zhu Fei; In front of the hall, the rui qi is full of green tiles. The old cypress repairs the fence, and the painting beams are carved; The pine and cypress, the sprout covers the curved sill back to the bar. Sure enough, there are few people in the Pure Land, and there are many famous mountain monks in the world.
Cai Wei and Nangong Yi walked to the front of the hall, bowed to the Buddha, and prayed secretly: "May the Great Jin Dynasty have smooth wind and rain, the country and the people will be safe, the people will live in peace, and the country will last forever!" ”
After saying goodbye, the two kowtowed, got up respectfully, and went to play elsewhere, passing through the main hall, it was the descendant hall.
The men and women who burned incense were praying sincerely. This descendant hall is also three halls, carved beams and embroidered pillars, painted buildings flying rings, dazzling gold. In the middle of a divine kitchen, there is a goddess in it, with a pearl crown, embroidered robes and colorful curtains, holding a child in her hand, and four or five men and women standing next to it. This Shinto is called the descendant of the mother. The god kitchen on the yellow Luo embroidered curtain, two silver hooks hung open, the god shoes under the five colors of the same, about hundreds of pairs. Embroidered treasure cover, overlapping, I don't know how many of them. Candles are painted on the shelf, illuminating up and down; The cigarette smoke in the furnace is thin, filling the palace. On the left is the son Zhang Xian, and on the right is the longevity star official.
Cai Wei was watching, and suddenly heard a low voice coming: "The female benefactor is here to pray for an heir?" ”
When I followed the sound, I saw a young monk who was tall and tall, staring at Cai Wei's face with burning eyes, and when Cai Wei turned around, the monk asked again: "The female donor is here to pray for an heir?" ”
Suddenly, Cai Wei's heart gave birth to a burst of diaphragm, in her impression, the monk should be a leisurely escape from the world, and the one in front of her is clearly a hungry pervert, not that she is too careful, but that the monk's eyes are too clear, as if she is going to eat her alive, and she is chilled when she looks at it!
She didn't want to pay attention to him, and said coldly, "No! ”
The monk said softly: "Dare to ask the female donor if she has an heir, if not, the descendants of this temple are the most effective, and the female donor can give it a try!" ”
Seeing that the monk was still entangled, Cai Wei glanced at him and leaned towards Nangong Yi's side.
At this moment, Nangong Yi had already noticed that the monk was harassing Cai Wei, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he pulled Cai Wei behind him, and said with a smile: "How many silver taels do you need to ask for an heir in your descendants' hall." ”
"It doesn't cost anything!"
When the monk heard Nangong Yi's words, he thought that they really had the heart to ask for an heir, and he was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "The donor who asks for an heir in this temple is all based on his heart, and those who have money can give a few taels, and those who have no money can burn a stick of incense. ”
As he spoke, his eyes looked at Cai Wei's face unobediently.
Nangong Yi said with a smile: "Just burn a stick of incense here to pray for an heir?" Do I need to do anything to make a Jiao Festival? ”
The monk explained: "There is no need to fast and chant sutras, but it is not necessary to ask the heirs to be free from illness, to be pious, to fast for seven days, to pray in front of the Buddha, to obtain the holy seal, to rest in the clean room next to them, to pray that they will have a dream, and then they will have children." ”
Hearing that the woman who still needed to pray for an heir lived in the temple, Cai Wei was suddenly puzzled, and she said coldly: "The woman is resting in the monk's temple, but I am afraid of inconvenience." ”
The monk said: "In this clean room, the surrounding area is close, one woman and one room, and the door is guarded by the relatives of the family, and no idle people are allowed to come and go, which is stable!" ”
Originally, on both sides of the hall of the descendants, there were more than a dozen clean rooms, and there were bed tents in the middle, and all those who prayed for an heir should have women in the prime of life who were not sick fasting for seven days, and went to the temple to pray and ask the Buddha for money. If they have received the holy house, they will stay in a clean room for one night, and only one person will stay in each room. If he can't get the holy pipe, he is not sincere, and the monk repents for him, fasts for seven days, and then comes to pray. The clean room is tight on all sides, without a single gap, first teach his husband and male servants, and check the surroundings. Let the selection stop, and send the women into the room to rest in the evening, and the relatives and servants sleep outside the door and watch them. There is no doubt about this.
After listening to the monk's explanation, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei both sneered unconsciously, originally they thought that this was really a treasure temple with Buddha shining light, but it turned out to be a place to hide dirt and dirt.
Since the Bodhisattva has a spirit, he only needs to pray, so why bother asking women to rest in the temple, there must be love and disadvantages. The Buddha and Bodhisattva practiced by themselves in the past, and still cut off their love, how can they care about the affairs of the people, go to this temple every night, and send their children to their dreams? It's not a nonsense!
It's a pity that these people believe in witches and don't believe in doctors, so because of the evil into the evil, they think it is true, they are confused and do not understand, and they send their wives and daughters to the temple in vain to be used by this group of monks. Exactly: clearly cut off the intestine grass, and mistakenly identify the living pill.
The monk who accosted Cai Wei was originally confused by Cai Wei's beauty, so he ignored the rules of the temple and came up to pick up Cai Wei and Nangong Yi without authorization.
