145 Blessing
Shen Rouning came up with such an answer, and after Qin Xu nodded a few words here, she didn't say anything to anyone-
Whether it was Chen Houji or Lord Mingjia who knew about it, they didn't know how to react. It's like now, although they are entangled, but when the two of them faced Qin Xu, the initial anger disappeared, and there was a subtle sense of guilt that was sorry for him. This subtle sense of guilt eased the relationship between the three of them again, and the former friendship began to continue......
At least, Chen Houji no longer shouted that he was going to Qin Xu to cut it off.
That's fine.
Shen Rouning said that of course she was happy to watch it when there was excitement, but it didn't matter if it wasn't lively, so she wouldn't involve herself.
Two days later, the guards and servants who were ordered to follow the lord of Mingjia finally arrived at Putuo Island. The lord of Mingjia also restrained his mood, and began to officially use the princess honor guard representing the Daqing royal family, fasting and burning incense, and began a month-long prayer for blessings by all the senior monks and one hundred and eight monks in the temple.
The lord of Mingjia County bears the honor guard of the princess under the imperial order, and this prayer also uses the name of "praying for the fortune of the country", so these 30 days, Puji Temple is to close the temple and close the door, in order to show piety and grandeur. Just the preparation before the ritual takes seven days. In just three days, almost all the officials and gentry in the entire Ningbo Mansion led the wives and ladies of the family to hear the news, wanting to visit the most favored county lord of the dynasty.
Even, there are many unmarried young men who have also come over, all dressed up and graceful, with a reserved smile that they think is chic and handsome. There was a scorching glint in his eyes. Needless to say, these people just heard that Yunying, the county lord of Mingjia, was unmarried, and if they were lucky enough to be looked down upon by the county lord, they would have a bright future.
It's a pity that all these people were blocked out of the temple.
Even Master Shen Si, the lord of Zhoushan County who had only been in office for a short time, also came over with the Zhoushan County Order. If others can't get in, of course he can.
After he entered, there was an uproar outside the mountain gate.
The surname of the prefect of Ningbo is Ji.
He didn't go directly to ask the officials in Zhoushan County who came with Master Shen Si like the people below, but frowned and asked the staff around him, "Who went in just now?" "As the governor of a prefecture, he still knows the county orders of various counties. But not so with other officials.
Not to mention. Fourth Master Shen is new again.
His staff is much more careful than him: "Lord Hui, this person's surname is Shen, his name is Chongyan, and he is this year's new science and technology jinshi." More than thirty ordered. He is currently the head of Zhoushan County. It's been less than a month since I took office, and I haven't had time to meet you, so I don't know you. The subordinates heard. His family members are worshipping Buddha in this Puji Temple at this time, and they have been here for a while...... The subordinates pondered, could it be because of this that he was invited in? Master Zhihai, who wanted to come to the temple, refused to do too much...... "That's why he didn't drive people away."
He was a member of the prefect's staff. He can be relied on deeply, of course, he is very powerful.
After coming here, everyone gathered, and when he saw a new official he didn't know, he immediately went over to inquire about it.
Ji Zhifu shook his head: "The county lord is praying for the blessing of the country this time, it is not an ordinary legal matter, and Master Zhihai will never allow any accidents at this time." Lord Shen's family members can stay, it must be because someone on the county lord's side has opened their mouths. ”
Although Puji Temple is known as one of the four major Buddha countries, it is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the statement is far away, but because of its location on the eastern island, all dynasties are far away from the country, and it is difficult to get the favor of the royal family, so it is very disadvantageous in terms of reputation and actual benefits.
This time, the princess of Mingjia County came with a guard of honor, and she was ordered to pray for the blessing of the country, which was an unprecedented opportunity for Puji Temple, how could they not attach great importance to it. Besides, the county lord heard that he came over first, and there was a buffer for a few days, and he invited the original pilgrims in the temple to leave, so he wouldn't offend people at all.
"This subordinate doesn't know." The staff member thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "But what the lord said is very reasonable, let the subordinates inquire again?" ”
Ji Zhifu nodded.
It's a pity that Master Shen's time in office is too short, and his position is ordinary, and no one knows the origin behind him for a while. The staff didn't get anything, so they could only stand outside and wait with everyone until Lord Shen came out.
Everyone is confident that Lord Shen will come out.
Unless Shen Zhubo is a stupid elm, otherwise, his chief and colleagues are waiting outside and don't know what the situation is inside, since he has entered, how can he not come out and explain? Otherwise, he would be in this Ningbo officialdom, but it would be difficult to mix.
Shen Zhubo doesn't look like a stupid person.
Sure enough, it was only about half an hour later, and Master Shen came out.
As soon as he came out, the crowd surrounded him.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw that Ji Zhifu came over in person, and the others hurriedly got out of the way.
Fourth Master Shen hurriedly bowed down and clenched his fists and greeted the prefect of Yingji.
"Lord Shen just came to Ningbo Mansion, I don't know if I can still adapt?" Ji Zhifu smiled and had a very easy-going attitude.
"If you go back to your lordship, everything is fine in the next place, and everyone is quite careful......" Shen Si was reminded by his colleagues in Zhoushan, knowing the identity of the person who came, and replied respectfully and politely.
The two of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Ji Zhifu asked the topic: "I don't know if Lord Shen Bo has ever met the county lord?" On the county lord's side, has he given an explanation to Ningbo Mansion? Pray for the blessing of the country, we sincerely want to do our best for this side. ”
Fourth Master Shen said respectfully: "I am fortunate to hear that the county lord has instructed you......"
After he entered, of course, he first went to see his wife's family, and then accompanied by Chen Houji and Shen Rouning, he said a few words to the county lord of Mingjun through the curtain. Qin Xu is also there.
As an official of this side, he naturally acted from the perspective of this side official, and euphemistically expressed to the lord of Mingjia the request of the local official to participate in the prayer. Lord Mingjia originally refused to agree, but Qin Xu opened his mouth.
He said: "Now that the news has been spread, there is no need to keep it secret. Besides, praying for the national honor is originally the grander the more people participate, the more grand it will be, and the secrecy is not good. ”
"It would be better for the prefect to send an official to take care of this matter, and on the day when the prayer begins, everyone will be allowed to come and watch the ceremony. Of course, you are the lord of the county, and if you want to fast and bathe, you will definitely not see any of them. ”
Qin Xu knew that Lord Mingjia definitely didn't want to entertain these people now, so he added. (To be continued......)
