Xie Zhi didn't delay after coming out of the East Palace, and went home directly.

There were already two carriages parked at the door, and He Liang was taking out large bags and small bags from inside.

"Young Master, are you back?" He Liang put the things in his hand on the carriage and asked.

Xie Zhi replied lightly and asked, "Isn't it just an incense?" Do you need to take so many things? ”

Before He Liang could reply, Mrs. Xie walked out with Xie Zheng's wife, Feng Shi, and said angrily: "If you want to enter the incense, then you must be sincere, and you must prepare proper offerings and incense candles." ”

Anyway, this incense is all for him, Xie Zhi echoed, pulled a big smile, and said: "What the mother said is very true, doesn't the son not understand this?" As the mother says, the son listens to his mother. ”

Mrs. Xie glanced at Xie Zhi and said, "You kid, why are you getting more and more flamboyant, okay, I've seen your sister-in-law first." ”

Before Xie Zhi could speak, Xie Zheng's wife Feng Shi took the initiative to speak: "Today's autumn festival is about to begin, is Wulang ready?" ”

Xie Zhi immediately smiled as standard, and politely replied: "It's almost, so-and-so is already ready anyway, whether he can be lifted or not, it can be regarded as doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven, not someone who can call the shots." ”

Before Xie Zhi's words fell, Mrs. Xie complained and said, "You kid, what are you talking about?" You don't even have a fame, it was your father who begged His Majesty to allow you to participate in this autumn festival as a companion, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, and how many people are waiting to see the Xie family's jokes? ”

It is really not easy for Xie Qian to open this mouth for him and Emperor Hongzhi.

He was only slightly different from before, and Xie Qianneng asked Emperor Hongzhi to let him take the township test before the other children of the Xie family, which could be regarded as an indulgence for him.

After Mrs. Xie's complaining words, Feng Shi echoed on the side: "Wulang is smart, he will definitely be able to go to high school." ”

Following Feng's words, Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Mother, isn't my son joking?" If the son said that he would win the championship in one fell swoop, wouldn't it also show that the son was arrogant? ”

To tell you the truth, he said that it was a joke, he had been preparing for such a long time, and he was ready to win the championship in one fell swoop.

After Xie Zhi explained, Mrs. Xie didn't seem to buy it and didn't pay much attention to him anymore, and said directly: "It's not early, let's go, the old man and your sister-in-law are in a car, you go to the car in front, let Steward Xie and He Liang accompany you, and rush back before dark." ”

Mrs. Xie has already arranged it, and there is no need for Xie to say anything, he just needs to follow.

It didn't take He Liang and Xie Lin to catch the car, the Xie family came out with two coachmen, drove two carriages, and went straight to Jiming Temple.

Jiming Temple is located in the west of the city, and the east city where the Xie family is located is exactly a major angle.

Jiming Temple is not a big temple, but the incense is quite prosperous, especially to Manjushri Bodhisattva is the most effective, every year many scholars before the start of the exam, will come here to ask for incense and worship the Buddha, to get a gold list title.

It took more than an hour to arrive at Jiming Temple.

As soon as they arrived at Jiming Temple, Mrs. Xie led Feng Shi and went straight to the Manjushri Bodhisattva incense case, and He Liang followed closely behind Xie Lin with incense candles and offerings.

Xie Zhi was left behind, walking slowly and leisurely.

I really don't understand, he just said a sentence of doing his best to obey the mandate of heaven and attracted a lecture from his mother, so wouldn't this burning incense and worshipping the Buddha count as obeying the mandate of heaven?

Of course, Xie Zhi dared to think about this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it in front of his wife.

"Zhi'er, hurry up and keep up!"

Mrs. Xie shouted in front, and Xie Zhi had to trot a few steps to catch up, "It's coming." ”

Manjushri's incense case had already crowded a lot of people before.

It took about half an hour to squeeze in the middle of a group of people before finally entering the Buddha hall.

Under the urging of Mrs. Xie, Xie Zhi put on the incense step by step, and made a wish, so that he was finally able to squeeze out of the crowd.

After a lot of things were done, Xie Zhi was a little tired, not to mention Mrs. Xie and Feng.

Xie Zhi hugged Mrs. Xie and asked, "Mother, where are you going next?" ”

Mrs. Xie was a little out of breath and replied, "It's not early, I'll go back after eating fast." ”

Mrs. Xie did this for him, and Xie Zhi was also grateful, "Mother, there is a pavilion there, go there first to cool off, and then it's not too late to eat." ”

has already burned incense, which can be regarded as the completion of today's things, and Mrs. Xie did not refute it.

After a few people rested in the pavilion for a few sticks of incense, Mrs. Xie took the initiative to say: "Let's go, go to dinner, go back after eating, if it's late, I have to delay your entry into the palace." ”

There are no classes in the East Palace, and Xie Zhi doesn't have to rush back at night, "It's the same if you go back early tomorrow morning, and my son can also stay at home for one night." ”

Mrs. Xie waved her hand and refused: "At this time, don't give people a real handle, let's wait until after the autumn season!" ”

As a cabinet scholar, Xie Qian is a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is deeply trusted by Emperor Hongzhi, so he will naturally arouse the eyes of many people.

Xie Zhizhi took the imperial examination, and many people were secretly waiting to see the joke.

There is also some distance from the pavilion to the hall, but there are not as many people who eat the fast meal as there are people who worship the Buddha.

Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha is generally before noon, if it is not the turn to burn incense before noon, they will also go back, and few people stay to eat fasting.

Whoever left to eat was incense before noon.

Vegetarian meals are naturally vegetarian, and the meals at this time will not be as varied as in later generations, anyway, they are two words, light.

Xie Zhi's appetite has always been very good, although it is light, but it can completely fill his stomach.

A few people also thanked them for eating the most and eating the fastest.

After Xie Zhicai put down the chopsticks, Xie Lin also finished eating, and said: "Madam, the villain has eaten, go and call the coachman to drive the car to the temple gate first, and Madame can go back directly after eating." ”

Xie Lin's arrangement is also suitable, and Mrs. Xie didn't say much, and said, "Okay, then I'll work hard for you." ”

Xie Lin was about to leave, and Xie Zhi hurriedly shouted behind him: "Butler Xie, wait, go with you." ”

Xie Lin didn't say anything, Xie Zhi only took two steps before he was stopped by Mrs. Xie and said, "What are you going to do?" You're just waiting, and you're not allowed to go anywhere! ”

Xie Zhi would never think that this was his protection, was this completely distrusting him?

Xie Zhi begged aggrievedly: "Mother, my son finally came out for a trip, it's always okay to go out and get a good breath, right?" ”

Mrs. Xie just didn't let go, and refused: "No, sit here, don't go anywhere." ”

He's become so good, how can he still not believe in him like this.

Forget it, don't argue, it's okay for him to go out, but if he continues to argue, it seems that there is something unsightly about him going out in such a hurry.

Listening to his mother's words, Xie Zhi waited until Feng Shi on the table chewed slowly and ate the last bite, and then got up and walked out of the dining hall together.
