Chapter 346: Prayer
Yang Yuhuan is right, the Prince's Mansion has suddenly become active recently, especially the family of King Guangping, Li Li seems to really think that he is the mother's family of the Fengfu, and he will visit him from time to time, and even the princess Cui Wanqing can't stand it.
Speaking of which, she was exposed in person in the courtyard that day, and she was embarrassed to go to the meeting immediately, after all, compared to Yang Yuyao, an old driver, she still has some face when she is born in a high family.
So, under the pretext of going to the Great Ci'en Temple to pray for blessings, she politely refused to go with her husband, and before leaving, she unexpectedly called the eldest son of the house, Li Shi, who was already eleven years old.
"Mother." Facing the housewife in the house, Li Shi behaved decently and meticulously in her manners, so that she couldn't find faults.
"I'm going to incense today, you go and get ready, and go together."
Li Shi was stunned, he didn't expect the princess to call him over, not deliberately making things difficult or beating him.
"My child's homework is not yet finished, and the teacher ...... there"
"Didn't the master teach you, didn't you put filial piety first?" Cui Wanqing didn't raise her eyelids and interrupted him.
"Mother has taught me a lesson, so go and prepare."
Said to be a preparation, in fact, it is to change into a riding costume, a man riding a horse is a proper duty, the maid is like a kite while helping him change clothes, while not worrying to advise.
"Just let the guards lead the horses, you must not be strong, even if it is a little slower, let her say a few words, just listen."
"I save it, do you want to ask?" Li Shi said hesitantly.
"Don't." Like a kite, he covered his mouth in a hurry.
"A few days ago, the lonely little lady in the courtyard disappeared quietly, and I heard that she was also betrayed, most of this kind of thing is done by henchmen, even if you ask her, it will be useless, but it will cause trouble, as long as you grow up safely, your mother will be happy no matter where she is."
Li Shi silently let her put on her coat, and unconsciously her fingers clenched into fists and clenched tightly together.
In this way, Li Shi rode a short horse and followed her car unhurriedly all the way, from the Prince's Mansion to the Great Ci'en Temple in Jinchangfang.
Looking at the kind-faced Buddha statue, Li Shi's heart appeared in his mother's eternal calm and gentle face, and he unconsciously became pious, and seriously bowed his head, and prayed silently in his heart, until he was urged by a voice.
"Let's go."
Li Shi hurriedly got up and secretly wiped away her tears, and followed behind Cui Wanqing, strangely, she did not get in the car, but walked to a courtyard not far away, and the plaque on it was inscribed with "Wonderful Pavilion" A few vigorous and powerful characters.
"Is your lady there?"
It was an old steward who opened the door, and looked at their team in surprise.
"Yes, but there are so many people, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
"It's okay, they don't go in."
Cui Wanqing took a few henchmen and maids, and pointed at Li Shi again: "Just these few people, you can make it." ”
The old housekeeper opened the door, Li Shi followed in, turned the wall, and was cheerful in front of him, only to see two circles of corridors surrounding one of the pools, the water in the pool had not yet frozen, gurgling and steaming, it turned out to be a hot spring!
Cui Wanqing seemed to be used to it, and walked through the corridor familiarly, all the way were full of strangely shaped mountain stones, Li Shi even saw a tall waterwheel, which was slowly rotating under the action of the water, sending the spring water to another mountain stream, and flowing down the canal carved from jade.
"This is it, princess, please take care of yourself, the little one will retire first."
The old housekeeper took them to a courtyard gate and left on their own, Li Shi looked around, it seemed to be an independent courtyard, most of which was the owner's residence, at this moment, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and a woman's figure came out in front of the door, and the moment she saw the person, the woman was so shocked that she stayed there, and a thing in her hand fell to the ground, making a "bang" sound.
Li Shi also stayed there, he never expected that the mother he had been thinking about for a long time would suddenly appear in front of him at the most unlikely time.
Cui Wanqing didn't seem to expect that it would be her to open the door, the Shen family at this time was very different from when she was in the prince's mansion, a well-fitting shirt wrapped around the mature body, her hair was meticulously combed, and she was hairpinned with a jasper hairpin, her white face was still gentle, and there was not much grievance and unwillingness, she looked down and saw that the thing on the ground was actually a small flower hoe.
"Is Miao Niangzi in the house?"
"Well, Lang Jun is here too." Shen Weixi replied in his mouth, but his eyes kept staring at her back.
Cui Wanqing's face was overjoyed, and she didn't care about talking to her anymore, pointing at Li Shi behind her.
"Speak, and I will go to my master's house."
The henchmen she brought held the courtyard door, and Shen Weixi saw that his son was still standing there stupidly, so he hurriedly stepped forward and dragged his hand and walked to a small room in the courtyard.
"Mother."
As soon as she entered the house, Li Shi couldn't hold back any longer, hugged her waist and knelt on the ground, Shen Weixi's tears kept pouring out of her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry seriously.
In this way, the mother and son hugged and cried for a while, she helped her son up, pulled him to sit on the couch, Li Shi wiped a handful of tears, and looked at the small room.
The house was very quiet, just like his mother's residence in the courtyard, there were only a few utensils, and on the embroidery frame in front of the window, there was an unfinished pattern, Li Shi knew at a glance that it was woven for himself, and the tears couldn't help but fall again.
"Silly child, my mother is fine, don't worry."
Shen Weixi's eyes have never left him, his son has lost weight and is a little taller, and there are some different things in his eyes, for men it is growth, but for his mother it is distressing, this is not the time to say this.
"How did she bring you here?"
"I said that I was going to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to make incense, and I wanted to accompany my son, but I never thought that I was coming to see my mother."
"How does she treat you on weekdays, but is there anything difficult?"
"On weekdays, I don't see each other in the morning and dusk, and I don't see each other a lot of the time, and I send people to send my children away, and I am often not in the house recently, so I can't talk about making things difficult."
Li Shi briefly said some of his own situation, this housewife actually didn't care much about him at all, and never asked about his schoolwork, so today's behavior would seem unusual.
"Mother suffers here."
Shen Weixi smiled: "You see, my mother is usually very idle, if you don't find something to do by yourself, you can't pass the day, and you can't talk about hardship, the master here treats her mother very well, never scolds and scolds, and is more comfortable than the house, but it's a pity that I can't see my son, so I have to worry about it all the time." ”
"Then why did she kick you out?"
"She thinks that her mother has robbed her of her things, you don't understand, don't pursue it, honor her well, grow up safely, even if your mother is not by your side, she will pray for you."
"Now that you know where to go, can you beg your father to take your mother back to the house?"
Shen Weixi shook his head resolutely: "If you open your mouth, you will never see your mother again." ”
She knows more about the King of Guangping than anyone else, and she has ignored it for so long, in fact, she has long been gone, even if she knows her whereabouts, she is afraid that she will have more thoughts about extinguishing her mouth, but these are not things that can be said to her son.
