Lingyin Temple is not far from Ji's house.

Speaking of which, the Ji family is closer to the palace than the Chengguo Mansion that claims to be Jane in the emperor's heart, the Ji family is on the West Eighteenth Street on the edge of the imperial city, but the Chengguo Mansion is on Cunyi Street in the south of the imperial city, which is twice as far away as the Ji family.

And the Ji family is very close to the Liubu, Dali Temple, Guozijian, etc., but the Cheng family is much farther away, Ji Songxian thought, when it comes to Jian Zai's heart, the Chengguo Mansion should not be as good as the Ji family.

Don't talk about the side, just say that this Lingyin Temple is next to Xuanwu Lake, not far from the Guozijian, and it will take about half an hour to go to Lingyin Temple from Ji's house.

Ji Songxian sat in the carriage and walked staggeringly, lifting the curtain from time to time to explore the scenery outside, Wu just smiled, but did not stop it.

Ji Songxian hasn't gone out much since she married into the Chengguo Mansion, and the number of times she has gone out in a few years is only a handful, but she is also willing to go out for a walk, even if she looks at the scenery, she is also comfortable, but Cheng Ping'an doesn't let her go out for such and such reasons, but Cheng Ping'an's aunts can go out to hang out as women, especially Xiaoqing, who can even go out to talk about business with people, speaking of which, Ji Songxian really doesn't know what Cheng Ping'an thinks in his heart.

Now, Ji Songxian looked at the lively scenery outside through the car window, and saw that the street was full of people, all kinds of small traders, burdens, stalls, and shouting can be heard from afar, and the clothes worn by pedestrians on the street are all washed cleanly, cleaned up neatly, and they are not in a hurry when walking, which shows how comfortable and peaceful life in Jinling City is.

"Nowadays, the life of ordinary people is getting better and better."

Wu Shi took Ji Songxian into his arms and sighed: "I still have to remember that your father and I had a hard time when we were young, I couldn't even eat at that time, your father boiled a pot of porridge every day, and when it was cold, he divided the porridge into several pieces, and only ate one piece of porridge at every meal, and the thin wind at that time could blow it down." ”

Wu Shi talked to Ji Songxian about the past in a slow voice, and Ji Songxian was a little fascinated when he listened: "What happened to that father?" ”

"Your father......" Wu Shi remembered the earlier incident and couldn't help laughing: "I feel sorry for him, often eat with him, and see him reading day and night, so I wash his clothes every other day or two, clean up the house, your father only said no, he is actually embarrassed, but I just feel sorry for him, I just can't control myself, I think about him when I get home, I don't know if he eats, but he is hungry, whether he is frozen in winter." ”

Speaking of later, Wu pursed his lips and smiled: "Your father is a nostalgic for the old love, and when he passed the exam, he came to the house to ask to marry me, at that time I was happy or something, only my mother said that Qi Dafei is not a coincidence, I am just a peasant girl, if I marry the master of the lifting man I am afraid of being said, if he is in the future he is an official in the jinshi, he can't say that he wants to dislike me, I thought so much at that time, I only thought that in this life if I want to marry him, then I won't marry anyone, and my mother has been at odds for a while, she can't resist my consent, When I married your father, many people were not optimistic, I was afraid that they didn't expect me to live with your father until now. ”

Wu Shi had a happy smile on his face when he said this, but his tone was plain and with the wisdom of going through vicissitudes: "Speaking of which, the days are all lived by themselves, and they know their own sorrows and sorrows, and how others know." ”

Sun listened and nodded: "What my mother said is that they live behind closed doors, and only they know what is going on, and they are not enough for outsiders." ”

Ji Songxian looked at the Sun family, then at the Wu family, and opened his mouth to ask, "Didn't that father ever think about taking a concubine?" ”

Wu laughed: "Originally, your father was caught as a son-in-law by the Jinshi, and a little daughter in the previous Zeng Xiangye's family took a fancy to your father, and Zeng Xiangye wanted to call your father his uncle, but your father pushed it, and many people said that he was stupid. ”

Seeing Wu's bright smile, although he is so old now, wrinkles are crawling on his cheeks, but when he talks about Ji Yi, he still has a little girlish sweetness and cuteness, and he knows that her life is really smooth, and he can't help but sigh that Ji Yi is really a very affectionate and righteous person, and he is also a well-deserved man.

The three of them talked and laughed, and after a while, they arrived at Lingyin Temple, and the three of them got out of the car and took the girl to the mountain gate.

This Lingyin Temple is built on the top of the mountain, and it takes a step to enter the temple, Ji Songxian thought that the Wu family was old, and he was afraid that he would have to work hard, so he carefully supported her.

Only Wu pushed Ji Songxian away, and said with a smile: "Your mother has strength, but you young people can't compare." ”

As she spoke, she walked up the steps, Ji Songxian hurriedly followed, and Sun smiled behind her: "Sister, don't worry, my mother's body is tight, and now she is still serving vegetables and fruits, raising chickens and ducks." ”

Ji Songxian thought that in the memory of the original body, there was indeed a fact that Wu had opened a piece of land to grow vegetables and raise chickens, and he also smiled: "But I'm too worried, sister-in-law hurry up." ”

Sun agreed, walked a few more steps, and when he arrived at the temple gate, Wu's face was not red or panting, and Sun's expression was indifferent, but Ji Songxian was very tired, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, among the three, she was young, but she was the one who pulled her back.

Wu Shi looked at Ji Songxian: "My mother used to be too used to you, and I didn't ask you to do anything, and now it doesn't seem to be a good thing, let's go back and grow vegetables with my mother." ”

"Okay." Ji Songxian didn't feel that growing vegetables or anything didn't conform to the identity of the daughter of the family, so he only felt the novelty and agreed with a smile.

Entering the main gate of Lingyin Temple, Wu Shi found a monk and told him to ask to see the abbot.

The monk politely led the three to a side hall behind the hall to rest, and after about touching a pillar of incense, the monk came to lead the three to see the abbot.

The abbot of Lingyin Temple is also a Buddhist monk, I don't know how many people ask to see every day, but he is now dedicated to the Buddha, usually does not see people, but Wu comes, the abbot is must see.

Speaking of which, the abbot of this Lingyin Temple has a hobby, that is, he likes to plant melons and vegetables, he eats all the vegetables he grows, but he is not very good at growing vegetables, the vegetables planted in a year have worms and wilt day by day, and they are dying at a glance, the abbot is distressed or something, just Wu came to worship the Buddha, wandering around is actually to the abbot's vegetable garden, at that time the abbot was not there, Wu was optimistic that the vegetables were dry, but also distressed, regardless of the past to help catch the insects, and loosen the soil, see that there are barrels and wells next to them, so they fetched water to water the vegetables.

When the abbot came, Wu's had already been served, and the abbot saw that she really loved these fruits and vegetables, so he chatted with her for a few words, and when he knew that Wu's was Mrs. Ji Yi, he was even more impressed with her, and after a few days, the vegetables planted by the abbot turned green, and the abbot was happy or something, and since then Wu's has been known.

Naturally, these things were also whispered to Ji Songxian by the Sun family while walking, and Ji Songxian became more curious and respectful to the Wu family.

The three of them followed the monk all the way, and after many detours, they came to an open place, and saw that this place was leveled out and planted with a lot of vegetables and fruits.

Wu came over and found a few melons in front of some green plants that were framed with bamboo poles, and Ji Songxian also recognized the melon in Wu's hand when he saw it, which was the cucumber she usually loved to eat.

Wu Shi washed one for Ji Songxian and then gave one to Sun, and said with a smile: "The tender cucumber that has just grown is the most delicious, hurry up and taste it, otherwise the old monk will not be able to eat it after a while." ”

Before she finished speaking, she heard an old voice coming: "Master Wu Shi is looking for a few melons from the poor monk again." ”

Wu smiled, the bite in his mouth rattled, Ji Songxian felt novel, and also squeaked with the bite, thinking that the cucumber he snatched was really delicious, that is, it was crispier and fresher than the one he bought.

"Well, I'll just wait until I go back and compensate you for a few." Wu Shi smiled after eating: "It's just a few melons, what do you feel distressed about." ”

A tall and thin old monk came out under the shade of the tree, he recited the Buddha's name and smiled: "This melon is related to Lord Wu Shi, so it was formed, and the people next to him didn't taste it, even the poor monk didn't eat a bite, so he asked Lord Wu Shi to see it." ”

He walked over to find a tree stump to sit down, Wu Shi also sat down, took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and handed it forward: "I came to look for you today, this is sesame oil money, my daughter wants to help someone light a Buddha lamp and add a Buddha lotus." ”

The old monk smiled and nodded: "This is a good thing, the poor monk is not allowed." ”

Wu Shi laughed when he heard this: "That person's name is Song Hui'er, so write it like this, good daughter, you come and tell the old monk what words they are." ”

When Ji Songxian heard her call, he took a few steps forward before he was about to speak, but he saw the abbot frowning, pondered for a while and smiled: "It's really interesting today, a reckless boy came over to ask for a Buddha lamp before, but it was also for this Song Hui'er benefactor." ”

Ji Songxian was taken aback: "Master, who is it?" What does he look like? Did you say what the relationship is with Song Hui'er? ”

The abbot shook his head: "I didn't say who it was, just a frost on his face, the poor monk can't ask him to stay in the temple for a long time, otherwise I'm afraid that the poor monk will suffer from these melons and fruits, so he can only respond to him indiscriminately, only he has enough money, and the relationship with Song Huier's donor should be very close." ”

Speaking of this, the abbot looked at Ji Songxian again: "Master Ji, is this Buddha lamp still lit?" ”

Ji Songxian gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Points, what he ordered is his, and my point is my mind, but I am going to trouble the abbot." ”

The old abbot smiled and nodded: "You are much more polite than your mother." ”

Wu Shi widened his eyes when he heard this, and said: "What did the old monk say, my daughter was taught by me, and she knows the etiquette is my knowledge of the etiquette, otherwise, how can I teach her well." ”

"Wu Shizhu's words are not right, there have always been more people who are better than blue, and it is not the champion master who can teach the champion apprentice, these things depend on personal comprehension, I look at Ji Shizhu is more polite than you."

The abbot of Lingyin Temple is very old, Ji Songxian has heard that he is afraid that he is more than ninety years old, but his body is hard, but he doesn't look so big, but now the old abbot is so old that the child is teasing his mother, and the mother is also angry and almost jumped up, crossed his waist and argued with the abbot, plus the vegetable field next to him, so that people can see that the old elders in the fields in the countryside tease their juniors, where will they believe that this is the Buddhist monk and the prime minister's wife.
