Chapter 560: Informed
Because of the matter of sending incense to the Four Princes' Mansion, when it came to the Buddha Bathing Festival, Cheng Lu decided to go to incense with Chen.
Chen was very happy, this was the first time she and Cheng Cheng went out together after they got married, so they discussed Cheng Cheng and said: "The host of Daxiangguo Temple and my father are friends, we might as well go to Daxiangguo Temple!" ”
Cheng Yu said: "On that day, everyone flocked to Daxiangguo Temple, is it to worship incense or watch people?" According to me, it is better to go to the Hongluo Temple in the suburbs, I heard that it is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it is very effective to ask for a child. ”
After saying this, Chen's face was red, and he couldn't help but rejoice, and hurriedly said: "Then go to Hongluo Temple." I've also heard that the incense is very strong there, but it's a little far away, and it's not convenient to go once. ”
Cheng Yan disagreed, and said, "Then it's better to stay there for one night." It's hard for us to go out. When we come back, I'm going to study behind closed doors and take the next township exam. ”
This means that even such a big thing as an heir has to be put down!
Chen was anxious.
She was already old, and the husband and wife were harmonious, but I don't know why, it was difficult to have an heir, and if she couldn't conceive after three years, she had to help Cheng Lu take a concubine. What is the relationship between the child born to the concubine and her Chen family? What's the point of recruiting a son-in-law?
Chen was very careful when he was ready to travel, not only brought five hundred taels of silver tickets, but also fasted and bathed a few days in advance, and copied a few volumes of scriptures to enshrine to the Bodhisattva of Hongluo Temple.
I never thought of Hongluo Temple, but I was told by the monk in the temple: "...... Yuan Ge Lao, Cheng Ge Lao, He Tongzheng Historian, Wu Hanlin and other female relatives of several families are here to pay incense, and the courtyards of several guest houses have already sent people to clean them. ”
The implication is that there is no place for her.
Chen was shocked. He looked back sharply at his housekeeper.
The steward couldn't hide his surprise on his face, and said, "The monk in the temple said the same thing before. I replied to my uncle, who said it didn't matter. He'll do it. ”
As he was talking, Cheng Lu, who was riding a horse just now and didn't know where to run, suddenly returned from the side of the path and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The steward did not dare to speak.
Cheng Lu understood it and said with a smile: "It turned out to be for this matter." He asked the monk and said, "Are there any other rooms in your temple?" ”
"Yes, yes." The monk hesitated, "It's just that there is no separate courtyard. ”
"Then give us a few wings." Cheng Yan said disapprerovingly, "It's just to help us pick a few clean and secluded rooms." After speaking, he glanced at the little guy next to him, and the little guy immediately stepped forward and stuffed a purse for the monk Zhike.
The monk accepted it quietly, and found them three wings facing south in the corner of the west courtyard. But in the end, it can't compare to a separate courtyard. Chen couldn't help complaining: "My uncle too, I told me earlier, and I also took my father's post and asked the temple to leave a small courtyard for us." ”
Cheng Yu said: "Since you are here to ask for a son, you must be sincere." When I came, those families had already set the courtyard, not to mention that there was a first to come, and those families were also scholars, unlike ordinary people, who felt uncomfortable and drank a little wine and passed, one is not good. provoked his father to be impeached, so why not come? What's more, the female relatives of several of their families also came to Hongluo Temple to ask for children, which shows that the incense in this temple is really effective. ”
Or maybe it's because the more things that everyone grabs, the more good they feel.
Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Really? The ladies of those families also came to ask for children? ”
"What did I lie to you." Cheng said. "Maybe you'll meet the ladies of these families later?"
Chen nodded and hesitated: "Cheng Ge's hometown, isn't it your own family?" ”
She remembered that Cheng Lu was removed from the Cheng family.
Cheng Zhen was displeased. said: "There are some things you don't know, I was a young man at that time. The Cheng family was afraid that the side branches would suppress the branches, and they were afraid that they would be criticized by the people in Jinling City for not supporting me. I was quite unhappy about this, so I had a bad relationship with my family. But I'm going back someday, and I can't avoid them because of that. ”
It's been a few days since they got married, Cheng Zhen has been very proud, Chen was born in a small family, only when those Jiangnan families are like the rich people in their township, there is an acre and three points of land for fear of being cheapened by relatives and friends, plus Chen Li helped Cheng Zhen restore his fame, Cheng Zhen is her husband again, she didn't think much about it, freshened up and changed clothes, cleaned her hands and burned incense, called the little maid to invite the monks in the temple, and took two personal maids to the main hall dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Cheng Lu smiled, went to the back mountain, and jumped from the trail in the back mountain to the vicinity of the release pond.
Min Jia is being served by a group of maids and women to release her.
The nearby nursing home found Cheng Lu and shouted a warning: "Who is sneaking around there?" There are female dependents here, please avoid it! ”
Cheng Lu walked out of the forest with a smile.
The tall figure, gentle smile, scholarly dress, and generous temperament made the voices of those guards can't help but be small: "The ladies of Yuan Ge and Cheng Ge's hometown are here to pay homage, and please avoid it!" ”
"Xinglin Hutong Cheng family?" Cheng Yan showed a look of surprise, looked at Min Jia, who was surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law, and said loudly: "Is it the grandmother of the Cheng family?" My name is Cheng Xiangqing, you ignored the posts a few times, I didn't expect to meet the big grandma here! It's fate! I came to you to tell you about Cheng Jiashan. You see if you ask the maids around you to avoid it for a while, of course, if you think Cheng Jiashan has nothing to hide, I can also say it in front of these maids. ”
Min Jia's face turned blue, and she couldn't help but secretly regret in her heart, she knew that she would meet this Cheng Xiangqing here, she should have come over with the young grandmother who entered the door from the Xie family and the Wu family, but what the monk said was sincere, it was best to release them one by one, so that the Bodhisattva knew whose filial piety it was...... But if they really followed, with Cheng Lu's unrelenting attitude of wanting to see her, he might not know what he would say...... It's okay if you don't come.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm a woman, even if it's about my father-in-law, you should go to my father-in-law or my father-in-law, what's the use of you looking for me." ”
Cheng Yan waved at Min Jia and said, "If the eldest grandmother doesn't mind, then I'll tell the eldest grandmother like this." ”
Min Jia was so angry that her fingers trembled, but she still couldn't help but show the slightest strangeness in her expression, and said with a smile: "It's a guest here, Cheng Xiucai invited me to the pavilion to have a cup of tea." ”
The guards and maids scattered and stood far away around the release pool.
Cheng Lu stood in the release pool with a smile and said, "Grandma is polite." I just have a few words to say, and I'll leave. He knew that what happened here should soon reach the ears of a few gentlemen who came with him, he didn't dare to delay, and said straight to the point, "I was originally a classmate with Cheng Xu, but I was framed by the Cheng family and lost my fame, but Cheng Xu was admitted to the Jinshi smoothly." Cheng Xu is not only better than me can read, but also more reincarnated than I can be, he is what I hate the most since I was a child......"
He made no secret of his hatred for Cheng Xu like this, so that Min Jia knew that what he said next must be very unpleasant, and even unfavorable to himself, but he wanted to listen to it inexplicably.
She remained silent.
Cheng Zhen smiled slightly.
These famous families want fame and face.
As long as you grasp this, you are usually invincible.
"Grandma should know Mrs. Chi Si Zhou, right?" His face was slightly gloomy, and his voice became low, and he said, "I am a side branch of the Cheng family, but because I am young and intelligent, I often go in and out of the Cheng family's house, and I grew up with the Zhou family's childhood sweetheart who lived in the Cheng family with my sister. We are in love with each other, and my mother also likes Zhou's family, and originally planned to go to Zhou's family to propose marriage after I got my fame. Who knew that Cheng Xu also fell in love with Zhou...... He is the grandson of the long house, I am a poor side branch, the Zhou family is lonely, and the Yuan family has always doted on him...... How can we fight him.
"Not long after, I was sent to study at Yuelu Academy by the Yuan family, trying to break us up."
Min Jia felt as if she had been struck by Dao Lei.
She knew that Cheng Xu liked Zhou Shaojin, but she didn't expect this Cheng Xu to like Zhou Shaojin too......
Min Jia looked at Cheng Yan's expression.
Cheng Lu looked sad and helpless.
How did Zhou Shaojin marry Cheng Chi?
Min Jia thought of what he had just said, and suddenly felt some sympathy for Cheng Yuan.
"If that's it, forget it." Cheng Lu said, his eyes were red, "I was originally inferior to Cheng Xu, and Zhou can be happy if he marries him, so I'll just do it." Yuan disliked Zhou's motherlessness, and looked down on Zhou at all, she wanted to marry Cheng Xu the daughter of a wealthy family, so as to help Cheng Xu in his career. Afraid that Cheng Xu would make a fuss and delay his end, he used Zhou's as a lure, saying that as long as Cheng Xu understood Yuan in the examination, he would go to Zhou's house for him to propose, and on the other hand, he privately said that he would marry the Min family, and when Sifang knew that the marriage between the two of us was not successful, and wanted to marry Zhou's Xu to her cousin Cheng Yi, Yuan's could use means to sabotage Zhou's marriage...... Although I have nothing to do with the Zhou family, I can't watch Changfang bully the Zhou family like this!
Angry, I went to question Cheng Xu.
"I thought that Cheng Xu would definitely let go if he knew it.
As a result, Cheng Xu not only did not let go, but intended to bully Zhou, wanting to have raw rice to cook mature rice, forcing Zhou to marry her, and forcing Yuan to agree.
"Yuan is your mother-in-law, and you must know her temper very well.
"How could she compromise.
"At that time, the elders in the family were not there, and only Cheng Chi could be the master of the long house.
When Cheng Chi went to deal with this matter, he saw Zhou. He was fascinated by Zhou's beauty, regardless of the difference in generation, regardless of his nephew's liking of Zhou, and forcibly married Zhou.
"Although the Zhou family is famous, Cheng Chi and Cheng Xu's uncles and nephews, as well as the Yuan family's clan wife, are too shameless......"
Min Jia couldn't hide her horror.
"How so?" A thin cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she was afraid more than once, but fortunately she acted safely and didn't let him shout out, if he said it nonsense in front of the Wu family, the He family, and the Yuan family, Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin's reputation would be over, and the reputation of the Cheng family would be over.
