The township test of the Dawu Dynasty is in August every year, and the general examination is in February of the following year, and last year it was a triennial township test, but in July and August, it coincided with the flooding of the Yellow River, and under the influence of this, the township test in several provinces of Beizhili was postponed. If only the township examination of Beizhili is postponed, then the next year's general examination will be affected. It is better to postpone the township test of Nanzhili. Emperor Jingwen decreed that the township examination held in August of last year would be changed to March of the following year, while the examination that was supposed to be held in February would be postponed to August.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, early in the morning, Jin Min took Jin Zifeng to worship Wenchang, and Mrs. Jin led the female dependents of Xifu to the Hanging Flower Gate, and even Jin Yuan, who had been grounded for many days, came out to see him off. Jin Zifeng took the examination basket, and Master Jin San personally sent him to the Tribute Academy.

Sending away the father and son, Mrs. Jin took the ladies to the small Buddha hall to worship incense, and on March 15, that is, the last day of the township test, the ladies of the Jin family came to Yongji Temple to offer incense, praying for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, so that the Jin family would have a lifter.

Yongji Temple is located more than 20 miles outside the capital, the incense was not prosperous in the early years, far less than Xiangguo Temple and Berlin Temple. Until more than ten years ago, the youngest son of the first emperor, that is, the youngest brother of Emperor Jingwen, came to Yongji Temple and had a great understanding, saw through the red dust, and became a monk here, with the Dharma name Zhijue. Since then, Yongji Temple has been flourishing with incense and has become one of the few famous temples in the Dawu Dynasty.

coincided with the township test, and there were more good men and women who came here to the countryside than usual. The temple sent an old monk 60 miles away to receive the female dependents. All the female dependents of the Jin family's West Mansion went out, and they were stained with the light of Jin Zifeng, and even the three aunts of Changshuxuan also came with them.

There are nine female dependents in Xifu. plus their respective maids-in-law, there are more than 40 people. There were too many female relatives who came to incense today, and Mrs. Jin gave 200 taels of silver, so she was arranged to be in the dormitory.

But there is only one dormitory, helplessly, Mrs. Jin and a few young ladies who have not left the pavilion are inside, and the aunts and maids are outside. Only Aunt Mei is special, who can follow Mrs. Jin and take a rest in the dormitory.

It is already spring in March, and the peach blossoms in Yongji Temple are blooming. Spring is bright. Pink and willow green, I finally have the opportunity to go out, and the young maids are carefully dressed when they go out, and the three people in the house are in the room. Pear, tea and tea. Although he was dressed plainly because of his identity. But they are all teenagers, but they have a charming style that young maids don't have, and they are all sitting on the beauty in the porch at this time. From a distance, it is more touching than the peach pink cherry white.

Aunt Zhao glanced at the three Tongfang who were chatting, snorted coldly, spit out the melon seed shell into the maid's hand, and said to Aunt Li: "Look at those little goblins, I don't feel ashamed, Lao Tzu and his son sit together, like sisters." ”

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Sister Zhao, why are you okay to look at them, don't you want to send someone to the master again." ”

Although the matter of green sleeves has been hidden, but with Song Xiuzhu leaving the house, this matter is no longer a secret, but don't slap people in the face, saying it behind your back is different from saying it in person, Aunt Zhao's face changed suddenly.

Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li are both from maids, the two have always been friends, they were chosen by Mrs. Jin, and their appearance is mediocre. Since they were young, they have never been in the eyes of Master Jin San, and later they had Aunt You, and before the Feng family married in, they were thrown into the corner.

In the past, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li were like sisters, and they had nothing to say, but in the matter of green sleeves, Aunt Li didn't know anything. It wasn't until the story was spread all over the park that she heard about it.

Since then, there has been a gap between her and Aunt Zhao, but neither of them said it.

Hearing Aunt Li's sneering, Aunt Zhao's face turned red with shame, that incident was too disgraceful, but Aunt Li said it in front of so many maids, undoubtedly wanting to slap her in the face.

She wanted to ridicule each other even more, so she heard a commotion, and when she looked up, she saw that the three people who were still sitting together had quarreled with the maid of an unknown family.

Finally found the steps, Aunt Zhao hurriedly stood up and said to the maid Chunyu: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

It was also a few maids who quarreled with the roommates. Like the Jin family, they also came outside because they couldn't stand inside. The reason for the quarrel is not a big deal, it is to compete for beauty.

Aunt Zhao glanced at Lixiang with a knife, it was really something that couldn't be put on the table, and she quarreled with a few maids for the seat, and lost all the old man's face.

Lixiang has always been honest, and the person who quarreled was not her, but the two Tongfang fragrant tea and tea in the Golden Beacon House. But Aunt Zhao didn't dare to offend the people in the third master's house, so she only dared to pluck a few eyes of pear fragrance.

Lixiang was a little aggrieved, but she had never been a troublemaker, Song Xiuzhu was gone, she was even more difficult in the house, she was scolded by those maids, and she was disgusted by Aunt Zhao, she felt uncomfortable, and took the maid Qingye to the side to see the peach blossoms.

It was a small episode, and no one took it to heart. But when the ladies of the Jin family finished serving incense and were ready to eat vegetarian food, someone found that Lixiang and Qingye had not returned.

Although it is only a room, it is also the daughter of the Jin family, and if something happens in the temple, it is the Jin family who will lose face.

Mrs. Jin hurriedly asked Ding Jinxian, the only man who came this time, to bring a few eight- or nine-year-old girls to look for it, and asked a few rough mothers-in-law to look around.

But after looking for an hour, these two groups of people came back, but neither of them found Lixiang and Qingye.

Mrs. Jin was so angry that she almost lifted the kang table in the dormitory, and the little wave hooves who were not worried about it would be embarrassing to go out and incense.

There are a lot of maids brought out today, and the fact that Lixiang is missing will soon be known to everyone. The maids stood outside, talking in twos and threes, and after a while, the ladies of the other families who were resting in the dormitory also knew.

The thing just can't be passed around, and it is passed on and on, so it has lost the maid from the Jin family to a young woman!

The meaning of a young woman is too rich, she can be a maid, an aunt, or a wife and a young lady!

Compared with the previous three identities, people are more willing to guess that they are a young lady, and the young lady in the boudoir is lost in the temple, with only a personal maid by her side.

When the Jin family could not find it and was about to inform the monks of the monastery, the old monk who received the female relatives brought a young monk.

In order to avoid suspicion, the young monk did not come in, stood outside the squatter room, through the curtain of the swastika pattern, and said to the old lady Jin: "I heard that the old lady of the Jin family has arrived, and the master of my family ordered the little monk to send a plate of vegetarian cakes, and asked the old lady to accept it with a smile." “

Linglong was also in the dormitory, and was slightly taken aback when she heard the young monk's words.

This monk is talking about "my master".

Do monks who are ordained also have masters?

Suddenly, Linglong thought of someone.

She raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Jin, but saw that her well-informed grandmother was full of disdain, and the dignified Yongji Temple was really poor, and gave a full two hundred taels of sesame oil money, and you brought a plate of vegetarian cakes, which was really unseen in the world.

One-one-one-one
