"Weichen must have done his best for the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and he will die." Xie Dongli took the holy decree from the eunuch's hand, and said politely.

When Lu Ruilan heard it in the inner hall, she was very happy, and her heart, which had been hanging high, finally put it down again.

She clasped her hands together and muttered a few words of prayer to the sky, before turning around and ordering someone to go out and stuff a purse with silver horns for the eunuch who was carrying the decree.

"Great, our family is finally going to rise again." Xie Dongyi patted Xie Donglian's shoulder vigorously, "In the future, the burden of the Xie family will be handed over to you!" ”

Xie Dongli rubbed the corners of his forehead with a little headache, and said, "Big brother, you haven't eaten yet, why are you drunk?" ”

The next day, the Ministry of Officials officially sent the appointment of his Rite Department attendant to Xie Dongli.

After the New Year, he will go to the Ministry of Rites to take office.

……

Early in the morning of Laba, Zhao Jinqi changed into a silver plain clothes, wore silverware, and held a small basket to go out from the corner gate of Xie's mansion.

"Miss Cousin, where are you going?" The doorman of the corner gate asked with a smile, "Do you want to find a car for you?" ”

Zhao Jinqi shook his head with a smile, "I'm going to the temple to light a lantern for my mother, I don't need a car, I'll just walk." ”

Although she has not been in the capital for a long time, she has already asked about the surrounding places.

The temple she was going to was the Great Mercy Temple, and she turned two corners, in the southwest city.

The man looked at Zhao Jinqi's back and walked out, pursed his lips, closed the corner door, and said to a mother-in-law in the gatehouse: "Go and talk to the second door, and say that Miss Biao went to the temple to light the everlasting lantern for Mrs. Aunt." ”

The woman answered, sat for a while, and then slowly passed it on.

……

Zhao Jinqi came to the gate of the Great Compassion Temple, squinted his eyes, and then walked in with an incense basket.

"Donor, what incense do you want?"

"I'm not here to offer incense, I'm here to light an everlasting lamp. -- Light a lantern for my mother. Zhao Jinqi said in a low voice and handed over the incense basket.

The monk took it and said to her, "There are nine kinds of lanterns, may I ask which one is the main female donor?" ”

"The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons were different. I'm going to take the smallest one. My mother died tragically, and everything in our family was gone, and I paid for the smallest kind of everlasting light. Zhao Jinqi said sadly, looking very compassionate.

"The benefactor's day is mourning. Lingtang has a spirit in the sky, and he must be very touched by the filial piety of the female benefactor. The monk recited a few more mantras of great compassion before turning and entering.

After a while, he came over with a small lantern and said, "Blessed are you, female benefactor." A noble man was grateful for the filial piety of the female benefactor and was willing to give silver to the female benefactor in exchange for this medium-sized everlasting lamp. ”

Zhao Jinqi smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised at all, and said, "Thank you for that kind person." ”

The monk took her to the hall where the lantern was lit, placed the lantern in a place that was neither high nor low, put on the wick, added sesame oil, and then handed Zhao Jinqi a fire fold and asked her to light it herself.

Zhao Jinqi held the fire fold in his hand and silently prayed a few words before tiptoeing to light the everlasting lamp.

"Female donor, in the future, you can come to the Great Compassion Temple once a month to add sesame oil to the everlasting lamp in the Ling Hall." The monk smiled and remonstrated, then turned and left.

Zhao Jinqi stood quietly for a while in the hall full of everlasting lights, looking at the hall that was extremely deep in broad daylight.

There are countless ever-bright lamps burning in the hall, although there is no wind, but the flames on those wicks are always beating, and they are also flashing in people's eyes, like an unpredictable human heart.

Walking out of the hall of the ever-bright lamp, Zhao Jinqi was a little uncomfortable with the bright sky outside, she subconsciously covered her forehead with her hand, and was stunned for a moment before putting down her arm and walking towards the gate of the Great Compassion Temple.

On the way back, Zhao Jinqi was very leisurely, looking around at the scenery on the street.

"Hey! You don't have long eyes! What a ramble! ”

Accidentally, she hit the back of the person in front of her head, and couldn't help but stumble back a few steps before stopping.

The person who was hit by her in front turned around, and was about to continue to get angry, when he opened his eyes and saw that it was a beautiful and beautiful girl, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over with a smile, and reached out to touch Zhao Jinqi's face.

"Little sister, where are you going? What about your family? Do you want my brother to take you to your mother? The man smiled lewdly and gradually approached Zhao Jinqi.

Zhao Jinqi retreated a little panicked, "What are you going to do?" My mother is dead, so you don't need to look for her......"

"Dead? Bah! What a bad luck! The man spat on the ground, then strode forward and grabbed Zhao Jinqi's collar, "You hit me with all the bad luck, say!" How are you going to compensate me! ”

Zhao Jinqi glanced around, and just saw Xie Dongli passing by the side of the road with his little servant Ah Shun, and hurriedly shouted: "Fifth cousin! Fifth cousin! I am here! ”

Xie Dongli stopped and looked back, and saw a big man holding Zhao Jinqi's collar with one hand, so that her feet were almost off the ground.

Xie Dongliang's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he raised his chin slightly to Ah Shun, "Go." ”

Ah Shun immediately walked over, pushed away the big man, and said angrily, "Where are you?" Get your name in! "Hold up the posture of a wealthy and evil slave to the fullest.

Although that person is tall and big, he is just a gangster in the market, and he can bully and bully outsiders by relying on the advantage of the local snake, but as soon as the local powerful domestic slave made a move, he was dumb, and he muttered two sentences, threw Zhao Jinqi and ran away.

Zhao Jinqi clutched his throat and coughed constantly, pulled Ah Shun's arm, and said with tears in his eyes: "Ah Shun, thank you, thank you so much!" ”

Ah Shun smiled and pulled his arm away, saying, "It was ordered by our son." ”

Zhao Jinqi hurriedly walked up to Xie Dongli, looked inexplicably grateful, wiped his tears and said, "...... Fifth cousin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you today, my life would be ruined! ”

"Really?" Xie Dongli smiled noncommittally, "Why did you come out alone?" ”

"I went to the Great Compassion Temple to light a lantern for my mother, I don't want to take a car, I want to come alone, so it looks more sincere." Zhao Jinqi said honestly, "I originally thought that in the first good place in Beijing, there were fewer bastards and bad people than in other places, but the result was ......."

"Be careful later." Xie Dongli said lightly, "Go back." ”

Zhao Jinqi nodded heavily, and followed Xie Dongli and Ah Shun back to Xie's house.

She returned to the guest house where she lived and told her father Zhao Junxing what happened on the street just now, and said, "Dad, my fifth cousin saved me, how can I repay him?" ”

Zhao Junxing held a book and said without raising his head: "...... Maybe people don't want you to repay it? Let's go and inquire first. ”

Zhao Jinqi responded, walked around the house a few more times, remembered a reason, and went to find his eldest cousin Lu Ruilan first.

"Sister-in-law, I want to copy the Buddhist scriptures, do you have the right scriptures here to lend me?"

Lu Ruilan smiled and said, "At your young age, what do you do copying scriptures?" I don't have it here, but I have it there. ”

The books of their Xie family are all in Xie Dongli's outer study.

Zhao Jinqi hurriedly said: "I just lit the ever-bright lamp for my mother in the Great Compassion Temple today, and I want to burn my mother's manuscript of Buddhist scriptures before my mother's birthday next year, so that my mother can spend it as soon as possible." ”

"It's a filial child." Lu Ruilan nodded, "You go to the East Fence and ask." His eldest maid is in charge of the outer study. ”
