Cheng Jiaoniang's master and servant did not go to Taipingju in the end, but got in the car and entered the city.

The car was still rented from Qiaotou, and they went out early and entered the city in the afternoon, but they saw the crowds on the road.

"The fifteenth puja of the Puxiu Temple." The rent-a-car man said, "Lady is going to see the excitement?" ”

The maidservant lifted the curtain and pointed the way.

"Pass through the north gate of Puxiu Temple." She said, and looked back at Cheng Jianniang, "Do you want to go and see it?" ”

Cheng Jianniang sat upright and did not shake her head.

"In fact, there are a lot of people, it is not as comfortable as coming every day, and most of the monks and nuns are selling things to subsidize the family on market days." The handmaid laughed.

"My sister knows how to go." The rental car man said with a smile, leading the horse through the lively crowd, "These monks and grandfathers raise squeamish and beautiful concubines, and the money is not enough." ”

"I don't dare to bring it out." The servant girl smiled, "The government didn't catch it and punish it for hard labor. ”

Listening to the foreign accent, he seemed to be very familiar with the capital, and the rental horse man looked at the maid in surprise.

"Sister, if you have money, you can make ghosts grind, where is the monk who can marry a wife lack a few money." He grinned and said, "The old man is illiterate, if he can read the scriptures, play sharply, order good tea, and I will also become a monk, how can it be so hard." ”

"Reading the scriptures, playing sharply, and ordering good tea is not something that can be obtained without hard work." Cheng Jianniang said.

The rental horse man was startled and couldn't help but look back.

This little lady barely spoke after getting in the car, and thought she was a mute, but she could also speak.

"That's what the lady said. It's hard work to do anything. But it's not just a bowl of tea. The great Zen monk of Puxiu Temple can buy a bowl of 200 guan when he orders it. He laughed, muttering at the end.

"What people sell is not tea, it's Zen." Cheng Jianniang said.

The coachman laughed and stuck out his tongue, what this little lady said was serious, but people didn't dare or know how to answer, and they understood every word. When you put it together, you can't understand it, every word is commonplace, and when you listen to it together, it feels like a hammer smashing iron.

The maid pursed her lips and smiled, lifted the curtain of the car and pointed to Cheng Jianniang one by one to show the street scene outside.

Passing through the north gate of Puxiu Temple and turning to the back door, there is still a dense crowd.

"I'll buy a cricket for Brother Jin to play with." The maidservant said, "He is very bored at home alone." ”

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

The maid jumped out of the car and led the renter to stop on the side of the road, only to stop in front of a flower, bird, fish and insect stall, and heard someone shout sister.

"Han Langjun." The handmaid turned. Looking at the young man in the green cloth robe, he smiled happily.

Han Yuanchao smiled at her. A few companions beside him looked at the servant girl curiously.

"Ah Langjun, I've finished the exam, how did you take the exam?" The maidservant asked hurriedly about what she thought.

"I'm afraid I'll have to do it again in three years." Han Wonchao said with a smile.

"The list will be released in March, Lang Jun don't want to say it first." The handmaid laughed.

How to take the test in their hearts, Han Yuanchao smiled and did not speak, but looked around.

"My sister is here to worship incense at Puxiu Temple?" He asked.

The maidservant shook her head.

"My wife and I passed by." She said.

Wife?

Han Yuanchao couldn't help but look to the side, there were a lot of carriages, and they stopped in a hurry, most of them were rented ordinary carriages and horses, and there were no high-ranking officials and nobles with insignia.

"Han Langjun is here to make incense?" The maidservant asked, "Is it too late now?" Didn't you go to pay homage to Kong Xian before the exam? ”

Although the gentleman is silent and blames the gods, the scholars who enter Beijing to take the exam will either sneak in or go to the Confucian Temple to worship openly.

Several of the showmen laughed.

"We are here to worship Lu, hoping to be lucky, if we can listen to Mr. Jiangzhou's pre-exam lecture this time, maybe we can win." A companion said, "This time, the main examiner is Mao Xun, a bachelor from Hanlin, who is the same as Mr. Jiangzhou. ”

The maidservant looked at Han Wonchao.

"Mr. Lao Jiangzhou has started to lecture on the scriptures?" She asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, half a month before the exam." A companion said, shaking his head with regret on his face, "It's a pity that I couldn't squeeze in to observe." ”

The maidservant sighed, thoughtfully.

"Sister, let's get busy." Han Yuanchao said, "Let's go and worship." ”

The handmaid hurriedly watched them pass.

Han Yuanchao stepped and stopped, looking at the maidservant, and felt a little funny.

I once thought that people were plotting against me, and I had already figured out how to excuse myself, but I didn't expect that people didn't come to see me at all, but they rushed up and took the initiative to say hello.

"Lang Jun, is there anything else?" The maidservant looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Thank you for me." Han Yuanchao said, nodding slightly, "The cook told me that he had found a job to do, it was the kindness of the owner." ”

Lord?

The maid was stunned, and before she could speak, Han Yuanchao had already walked away with her companion, and soon blended into the crowd and entered the Puxiu Temple from the back door.

She was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"Lord Weng?" She shook her head and said, carrying the two insect cages to the carriage, and then stopped abruptly again, with a sudden oh on her face.

"Lady, lady, I understand."

She sat in the car and said.

Cheng Jianniang was looking at the small insect cage placed aside, and there seemed to be a bit of inquiry in the dry well Wubo's eyes.

"Understand what?" She asked.

"Are you doing this for Han Langjun?" The maidservant took a deep breath and asked, "To fulfill his injustice?" To fulfill his well-intentioned chivalrous heart? ”

Those who want to help, from now on, have good luck, food and clothing, and what can be a more perfect interpretation of a person's righteousness and kindness than this.

It's just that this idea is so simple that it is straightforward, and it is so straightforward that it is impossible.

How could anyone think of this, how could anyone want to help someone with such a thought, and still not be known.

Cheng Jianniang raised her head and glanced at her.

"He can do whatever he wants." She said, "Why do you need others to be perfected, others will be perfected." It's just someone else's. What to do with him. ”

The maid was stunned for a moment. Poof, he sneered.

"Lady, it's enough for me to listen to your previous words." She said.

Whatever you want, you can do it, as long as you are happy, I only need to help you, help you, help you, just for your mind is not empty, let you be repaid, let your grace be useful. Let your kindness continue.

The maidservant thought about it, but felt that her eyes were hot, and her heart was hot.

Life can get this righteousness, what more can the husband ask for.

"Lady." She couldn't help but call, and there seemed to be a lot of words stirring in her chest, but she couldn't say anything when it came to her mouth, and finally muttered.

When the king of Jin'an County entered the queen mother's bedroom again, he was accompanied by one more person.

"Brother." Around six years old, the boy in the brocade robe sniffed his nose and said, "Do you smell it?" ”

The King of Jin'an looked at him. I was puzzled.

"What?" He asked.

"It smells so good." The boy said.

"Your Highness, don't always think about eating." King Jin'an grinned. Said.

The palace people outside the door have already greeted them.

"The second prince, the king of the county." They gave respectful salutes.

The two walked into the door and saw the two come in, and the queen mother in the dormitory greeted them happily.

"Niangniang, what good things to eat, it's so fragrant." The second prince sat down in front of the Queen Mother and asked with a little childishness.

"You little gluttonous cat, you know how to eat." The Queen Mother smiled, "Your father knows about it, and I want to say that you don't grow up." ”

On the side, the king of Jin'an County smiled.

"Niangniang, Your Highness loves to eat, which means that your body is strong, and it is too late for Your Majesty to be happy." He smiled, sniffing his nose as if inadvertently, "It's really fragrant, Niangniang, what are you eating?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled.

"Two gluttonous cats." She smiled and motioned to the palace people, "Go and get a few yellow finches fried by the Chen family." ”

King Jin'an raised his eyebrows.

"The Chen family?" He asked.

"Chen Shaojia." The Queen Mother smiled.

"Oh Niangniang, said Lord Chen, how is his father?" King Jin'an asked.

"Well, that's a strange thing to say." The Queen Mother said, "I invited a miracle doctor from Jiangzhou, and he was cured in three days and five days." ”

The palace people had already brought up two plates of yellow sparrows and placed them in front of the second prince and the king of Jin'an.

"So powerful? Didn't you say that there was no cure? King Jin'an asked.

The second prince was not interested in these and had already begun to eat yellow finch.

"There are people outside the sky, there are people outside the people, it's not the palace that Qu said about them, these imperial doctors have degraded after being raised in the capital for a long time." The Queen Mother said, shaking her head, "This folk is really a miracle doctor." ”

"Mother, it's delicious." After the second prince finished eating two, he said with one hand of oil, "I still want to eat." ”

The Queen Mother was busy ordering the palace people to wipe him.

"What's more, Mrs. Chen left the cook in the palace and taught the imperial food to go back later, you can eat it at any time if you want to." She laughed.

"Oh, I see, Mrs. Chen came in with a cook, and she is still a cook." The king of Jin'an County picked up the yellow finch and ate it slowly, and said casually.

The Queen Mother smiled.

"That's not, that's Mrs. Chen's daughter." She smiled and asked the palace person next to her, "What's it called?" It's very chic, and it's long and well-behaved. ”

"Mingsu, the eighteenth line of the clan." The palace man replied with a smile, "It's fourteen this year." ”

The king of Jin'an took the handkerchief handed by the palace people, lowered his head and slowly wiped his mouth.

Chen Su, Chen Ba Niang?

Laughing for a moment, because Concubine Xian was raising a baby here, the king of Jin'an County signaled the second prince to leave.

"The Queen Mother is waiting to ask Her Highness about her homework." He whispered.

The second prince's face suddenly wrinkled.

"Mother." He looked at the Queen Mother and twisted.

"Good, go, the queen is for your good, follow the gentleman well." The Queen Mother smiled.

"His Royal Highness happened to bring the yellow finch over and borrow the flowers of the mother to offer the Buddha." King Jin'an said with a smile.

The second prince nodded hurriedly, and the queen mother also smiled and asked the palace people to put it up, and looked at the king of Jin'an County, and could not hide a little appreciative and loving nodding.

"Go, he's young, you take him with you." She said, "After a while, you and the eldest prince will leave the palace, and he will be lonely." ”

King Jin'an smiled.

"Niangniang is too worried, isn't she going to add a younger brother." He laughed.

The Queen Mother suddenly smiled.

"Okay, this palace begs you for this auspicious word." She smiled, "Go and talk to Concubine Xian, the king of the county said, wait to bring one more brother to play." ”

The palace man went with a smile, and came back after a short time with a plate of gold, silver and jewelry.

"The virtuous concubine is rewarded to the king of the county." They laughed.

"Xie Niangniang." The king of Jin'an County took it with a smile, and looked at the queen mother again, "Niangniang, the virtuous concubine has given it." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then covered her mouth and smiled.

"Little slippery, I think about the private room in the palace." She said, smiling and motioning to the palace people, "Reward." ”

first sent the second prince to the queen, and then the king of Jin'an County returned to his palace.

When I was young, I lived with the Queen Mother, and when I was older, in order to avoid, I moved to the westernmost part of the palace, which was close to the front court, far away from the harem, it was originally the study of Emperor Taizu, and then it was burned by fire, and then it was empty after repairing, until it was given to the king of Jin'an County to live again, the trees are numerous for many years, the winter is fine, and the green shade is all over the sky and the sun in the summer, and it seems more and more lonely.

When the king of Jin'an entered the door, he saw two plates of rewards placed in front of the screen, he looked at it quietly for a moment, and suddenly stepped forward and raised his hand to overthrow it.

"Your Highness." One of the chamberlains hurriedly whispered, and hurriedly covered the door, carefully looking left and right.

King Jin'an looked back and smiled.

"No one." He said, "Look at you. ”

"King of the county, don't scare the slaves, you can be careful, don't be careless." The waiter patted his chest and spoke casually, which showed that he was close to someone.

The king of Jin'an sat down cross-legged.

"I know, go down." He said, while reaching out to pick up the jewels scattered on the ground, leaning on a few points, half-tilted and swaying one by one in front of him, looking at it with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The waiter replied, exiting the hall and bringing the door, the daylight gradually faded, and the most faint only came in through the lattices of the doors and windows, mottled on the young man sitting on the floor in the central hall. (To be continued......)
