118: Temple fair
On the day Xia Wen was sent away, Li was a little sad.
"When she was born, I was by your third aunt's side." Li Shi said as he gestured with Xia Ruan with his hand, "She was a little bit younger at the time, but now she ......."
No one knows what will happen to the people around them in the next moment.
In this world, nothing is set in stone.
Especially the human heart.
Xia Ruan helped her mother into the house and changed the subject: "Mother, you are about to give birth, but be careful." ”
Li Shi listened, smiled and nodded.
After a while, Li said to Xia Ruan: "In a few days, it will be the temple fair of Anling Temple, when you go to Master Shanyuan, remember to donate some incense money to the temple, and ask Xia Wen for peace, so that she can change her mistakes this time." ”
Xia Ruan nodded and did not refute: "Okay." ”
She doesn't believe in Buddhism......
I didn't have time to believe it before, but now I don't dare to believe it.
The Buddha said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
But she wanted to ask, where is the report? When will it be reported.
Sometimes she would rather choose to report it herself than believe in the so-called 'final reward'.
However, donating some incense money to Anling Temple is a trivial matter, as long as the mother is happy and can give birth to the child smoothly with peace of mind, she feels that it is worth giving more silver.
The sixth day of the sixth month of June is the temple fair of Anling Temple.
Xia Ruan took Du Ruo and Du Lan and asked the six sons to drive the carriage to Anling Temple.
From the house to Anling Temple for about an hour, along the way, Du Lan happily chattered in Xia Ruan's ear, Xia Ruan would sometimes put down the account book and accompany Du Lan to say a few words. However, Du Lan's speed of speech was too fast, and Xia Ruan simply listened to it and didn't say anything more.
I have to say that Duran knows more about these things than her, and when he is in Zhuangzi, Duran will also go to the temple fair to play, and for the countrymen, the temple fair is a good place for vendors to sell things.
Seeing that Xia Ruan no longer spoke, Du Ruo couldn't help but reprimand Du Lan softly: "Lan'er, you are too noisy, be quiet." ”
Du Lan glanced at Du Ruo with some grievances, and couldn't help muttering: "But there are really a lot of delicious foods, and there are ......"
"Eat, eat, eat. You think about eating all day long. Du Ruo angrily poked Duran's forehead with his hand. Be careful of the poison you eat that day. ”
When Duran heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I'm not afraid, sister, you will save me." ”
After speaking, Du Lan blinked and said to Xia Ruan, "Third Miss, did you say that what I said was right?" ”
"Yes." Xia Ruan couldn't help but laugh, "I won't be hungry for a while." ”
Duran glanced at Xia Ruan with some weakness. Glanced at Du Ruo again. Only then did he lower his voice and replied, "Third Miss." Slave doesn't mean that......"
Xia Ruan looked at Du Lan's expression, which made Du Lan unable to speak.
In fact, Xia Ruan is very envious of Du Lan like this, he is carefree all day long and doesn't have to think about anything. But she couldn't. As soon as she relaxes a little, she will follow the path of her previous life. She felt that every day was going to be the last day, so the thoughts in her head were always crumbling, and she was not allowed to pause more.
Because if you go back, you will find a cliff of hanging rock.
After arriving at Anling Temple, Liuzi parked the carriage and followed Xia Ruan into the temple together.
Because today is a temple fair, there are more people in and out of the temple, and Xia Ruan couldn't help but look around a few more times when he left.
When she was young, she often followed her mother to Anling Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and she was relatively familiar with Anling Temple. In recent years, Anling Temple seems to look a little newer than in previous years, which is inseparable from the exuberant incense of Anling Temple.
People always pin their hopes on the Buddha and hope that the Buddha will bless them with all the best, but where is there so much wishful thinking in the world?
If you want to live a good life, you actually have to do it yourself.
Xia Ruan's mother often donated incense money to Anling Temple, so the little monk inside listened to Xia Ruan's desire to find Master Shanyuan. politely took Xia Ruan to sit in the side hall, let people serve tea, and hurriedly ran to pass it on.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the house, a quiet fragrance, and Xia Ruan felt a little more peaceful after smelling it.
Send money to the door, and those who don't want it are idiots.
In less than half a cup of tea, Master Shanyuan slowly appeared in front of Xia Ruan's eyes.
Master Shanyuan looks kind-hearted and kind-eyed, and looks like a master outside the world.
Xia Ruan suddenly understood, why did his mother always believe in these people, and these people also had some ability.
"The third lady came from afar, the poor monk never went out to pick him up, there are many rudenesses, I hope the third miss Haihan." Master Shanyuan said politely while smiling.
Xia Ruan also smiled faintly, and said to Master Shanyuan: "Master Shanyuan is too polite, today it was my presumptuous to disturb Master Shanyuan." ”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xia Ruan proposed to donate incense money to Anling Temple.
"Master Shanyuan also knows that something like this happened to the Xia family, and it seems that there are villains who are also troubled by it, but now some villains are still restless." When Xia Ruan said this, his brows frowned slightly, "So I hope that the Buddha will bless you and let the Xia family be quieter." ”
These days, the Zhao family has never given up making trouble, and they have cried a few times in front of the Xia family's house.
Zhao also asked her former friends to help her, but who would dare to cause such trouble.
Although not many people know about Li Changfeng and the Xia family, Mrs. Wen Jiaxun's attitude towards the Xia family makes people understand at once that the Xia family today is not the Xia family in the past.
This time the Zhao family's incident made the people who hated the Zhao family in the past eager to come up and step on it.
The Zhao family will fall into this appearance, and it is also Zhao who asked for it......
Xia Ruan came to find Master Shanyuan today, naturally with a purpose.
She wanted to know what Lu Dao, the so-called master of the world, thought of this matter.
"My Buddha is merciful, Third Miss, you are merciful, the Buddha will definitely bless the Xia family." When Master Shanyuan heard that Xia Ruan was going to donate incense money to Anling Temple, his eyes were a little more looked.
Now that the Xia family is in Dongyang County, he knows better than anyone else, "There will be a lantern festival at night, if the third lady doesn't mind, you can stay and take a look." ”
Master Shanyuan's words made Xia Ruan smile with satisfaction: "Xie Lu, Master Xie Shanyuan." ”
Coming out of the temple, Duran's emotions became more and more excited, as if he was holding back a lot of words in his heart.
It's just that Xia Ruan didn't have the heart to ask Du Lan what he was thinking, Master Shanyuan is an old and cunning person, he won't mention the Lantern Festival for no reason today, so what is Master Shanyuan's purpose.
The more Xia Ruan thought about it, the more surprising she felt, but Du Lan's speech always distracted her, so she simply went to the teahouse on the side and blocked Du Lan's mouth.
The more she thought about it, the more she became distracted, but at this time, someone interrupted her contemplation-
"Hey, I told you that you must not know that those people are coming to the Lantern Festival tonight, you can't believe it." A young man in the teahouse said to the people around him, his mouth full of pride.
Xia Ruan was attracted by her voice, and felt that she couldn't be quieter wherever she went.
"Yo, Xiaoba, do you know the way? You just blow it all day long, haven't you just been to the Western Regions once? When I came back, I blew that place like a fairyland on earth, but is it just a place full of sand? "Someone said.
Another person on the side answered: "No, Xiaoba, you don't brag here, you hurry back and help your father sell osmanthus cakes, and tonight will sell more of them." If you earn money, you can buy more meat to eat, hahaha ”
The young man named Xiaoba was obviously not convinced, he got up from the stool and said loudly to those people: "I'm not talking nonsense, you don't know that there is a big man coming tonight. Although I don't know what he came from, I don't think it's inseparable from the Xia family. ”
When Xia Ruan heard about the Xia family, her heart was somewhat touched, and she began to listen attentively to the conversation.
Sure enough, after mentioning the Xia family, the people on the side were somewhat interested: "The Xia family? Are you talking about the Xia family? Ha Luha, who in Dongyang County doesn't know that the Lu Dao Xia family is powerful now, why are you saying it here. Big shot? Do you want to say that the reason why the Xia family has made Lord Wen stammered these days is because of this big man. ”
"It seems that you are not stupid, the Xia family will be so powerful, it must be because of this big man." Xiaoba was a little proud, "But this big man is not an ordinary person, he ......"
"Okay, Hachi, don't brag about this kind of thing in front of us." Those people interrupted Hachi with some impatience.
Xia Ruan smiled a little helplessly after hearing this, and sure enough, if you listen to these places, you can only listen to them as jokes.
Who would know that Lu Dao's mother was actually the daughter of Cheng Guogong?
These people are just speculating.
In order to avoid people recognizing her as the third lady of the Xia family, Xia Ruan checked out and prepared to leave.
At this time, Xiao Ba's voice couldn't help but raise a little: "I told you that you don't believe it, the uncle of the Xia family has been in contact with this big man all these years, and this big man came from the Western Regions this time." Do you know the western kingdom of Dhaunie? The people over there are all good at using drugs, where did this person come from? If you don't believe it, I can't help it, this person will definitely go to Anling Temple tonight, I promise you. ”
This sentence hit Xia Ruan's heart fiercely, and she couldn't help but take a look at Xiaoba more.
People from the Western Regions, people who have dealings with the Xia family, Nixi Kingdom......
All of this can only make Xia Ruan think of one person, and that is cinnabar.
A few days ago, Xiao Jiu also asked her to be careful, saying that the Xia family had long been noticed by Cinnabar, and this time it was ......
Xia Ruan's brows furrowed, Cinnabar has always been a high-profile person, and since he came to Dongyang County this time, it is normal for him to release these news.
It's just that Xia Ruan doesn't understand why he wants to go to Anling Temple for cinnabar......
What kind of secret is in this, she has never known.
However, the only thing Xia Ruan knows is that his uncle really won't live long.
Cinnabar will not show mercy to his eldest uncle's subordinates, this is an inevitable thing.
Could it be that this is also what Master Shanyuan meant? (To be continued......)
