Chapter 388: Sudden (I)

After a great fright, Zhang Heling Zhang Zong said that the father and son both returned safely, and the emperor's disposition was to pick it up high and put it down gently, not to mention the broken muscles and bones, even if the skin was broken, there was never half a point - for Shou Ninghou, who had saved up the old family's private affairs over the years, the fine for six months was just a drop in the bucket; And for Zhang Zong, who is not yet weak, it is a chore to go to Datong to be a thousand households, but since there is Zhuang Jian, the chief military officer of the town guard, to take care of it, then when the time comes, the scenery of military achievements will be restored, and Mrs. Shouninghou can think of it with her toes. While the thought of mentioning it was slowly put down, she instead remembered her unconscious daughter.

"It's just fourteen years later, and I'm actually going to get married......"

Mother Qian saw her wife rummaging through the cabinets to find the treasured jewelry and materials, and nagging about these in her mouth, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she didn't persuade anything. After all, Mrs. Shouninghou was not very satisfied with this marriage, even if the Queen Mother summoned the Zhao family after the first two days were decided, she still couldn't make her feel relieved, and all of them knew it. She stepped forward to help pack up the satin with a red horse embroidered with a hundred butterflies and patterns, and she heard movement outside, and after standing up and going out, she returned to the house with a post in a short time.

"Madam, it's Master Luo who was invited to blame the master last time."

"Ah, it's him!" Mrs. Shouninghou was shocked all of a sudden, and then remembered that after Zhang Heling's father and son returned safely, they forgot to make up a congratulatory gift. Patting her forehead with her hand, she said in a loud voice, "Invite him in!" ”

"Madame don't need to be busy, it was Luo Dashi who sent a little boy to deliver the post, saying that it was the Huguo Temple Puja on September 15, and he wanted to ask Madame to give him a cheer. The slave maid sees, although he is famous, compared with those deep-rooted Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the capital, the foundation is shallow after all, so he wants to use us to make a dozen famous. ”

"Fight fame is fame, when our family was in trouble before, the queen mother can still say that she has other plans in her heart, but even the lord's brother Jianchang Marquis is a wall watch, and the rest of the temples are like snakes and scorpions, only he is not only upright, but also accurate. I was instructed to go down and go in person on September 20, and I still have to give enough face. I also want to show those monks and Taoists who are more vulgar than ordinary people, although I don't spare incense money, but I am not a money owner who lets them fool me! ”

Since Mrs. Shouninghou said so, the people below naturally prepared immediately. On the 15th of September, although Chongguosi Street, where the Dalongshan Huguo Temple is located, and Zhanghuangqin Street, where the Shouning Marquis Mansion is located, are separated by only two or three alleys and a Deshengmen Street, there should be a lot of pomp and circumstance. Mrs. Shouninghou took her daughter Zhang Jingxuan to sit in a sedan chair with eight people, and the maids and servants who followed used two more cars, plus twenty or thirty guards accompanying them, and this time they went out and occupied the entire Zhang Huangqin Street. There was a sign in front of him to avoid it, and there were people guarding the road behind, and all the people around him were driven away from the distance, and they could only scatter around and point.

Since it is always not good for the court officials to worship Buddhism and believe in Buddhism, most of the people who believe in Buddhism and believe in Buddhism are the female dependents of various families, and this festival is no exception. Huguo Temple was originally a place to pray for the future of the country, and most of the presiding officers were the nominal monks of the Sanglu Division, and there were many female dependents who came on this day, and the mountain gate arranged for the small novice to place the carriages and servants, and only let the female dependents enter. As soon as Mrs. Shouninghou and Zhang Jingxuan entered, there were already Zhike monks who followed, and they talked with them all the way, and invited the mother and daughter to sit in the house.

Along the way, the mother and daughter met several groups of female dependents, but they only occasionally exchanged a sentence or two. However, when she saw the King Kong Hall from afar, Mother Qian reminded Mrs. Shouninghou in a low voice that it was Master Luo talking to someone over there, and the sharp-eyed Zhang Jingxuan recognized at a glance an old woman who was talking to Master Luo over there.

"Mother, that's Li Dongyang's wife."

Mrs. Shouninghou was stunned by her daughter's reminder, and then said angrily: "You also got the three words Li Dongyang?" Even the first emperor wants to call Mr. Li, why are you so polite? ”

"Hmph...... What Mr. Li, when my father was in trouble, I didn't see their cabinet stand up and say a fair word! ”

Although she blamed her daughter, Mrs. Shou Ninghou was also unhappy in her heart. But it's all here, if you avoid walking when you see people, it will inevitably weaken your momentum, so she glared at Zhang Jingxuan again, and repeatedly warned people not to talk nonsense, so she sorted out her expression and walked straight up.

When she was about to get to the front, she found that there was a girl standing next to Mrs. Zhu, who was fifteen or sixteen years old. The girl combed two simple mustaches, only a simple hosta was inserted between her black and shiny hair, and she wore two jade stoppers on her ears and eyes, a bamboo green jacket, and a willow yellow skirt, which looked bright and solemn, and made her pretty face more delicate, and she was not inferior to her daughter who was wearing a big red dress next to her.

Thinking in her heart, Mrs. Zhu's two were married a long time ago, and Li Dongyang's biological son died early, and the heirs did not seem to have daughters of this age, Mrs. Shouninghou couldn't help but wonder a little, after meeting Mrs. Zhu, her eyes lingered on the girl for a moment, and then she smiled: "Which junior in the family did Mrs. bring out today, so brilliant?" ”

"It would be nice if I had such a junior in my family. It was Miss Fang who had met once in the Lingji Palace before, and today she didn't meet her again in the Huguo Temple, and she felt fateful, so she stayed with her for a while, who knew that she met Master Luo again. ”

Mrs. Zhu looked at Mrs. Shouninghou as she spoke, and she couldn't help but guess the intention of Mrs. Shouninghou. Seeing that she bowed her head slightly after hearing this, she ignored Shen Yue, and took Zhang Jingxuan to greet Luo Qing for a while, and thanked her again, she couldn't help frowning slightly. She is not a believer in Taoist Buddha, but Lingji Palace invites lamps, Huguo Temple worships Buddha, Longfu Temple prays for blessings, these things that the women of the capital often do, of course, she will not be an exception, and she often has a lot of gains when she meets people to talk a few words.

And today I came to this Huguo Temple, but because my husband specially instructed me to say that Luo Qing was preaching in the capital and entering the door of the powerful, so I was afraid of ill-intentioned, so I let the well-informed she come to see, but she didn't want to see Mrs. Shouninghou. And listening to the tone of the other party, in the predicament of the Hou Shouning Mansion last time, Mrs. Hou Shouning actually invited this one to push the blame and solve the predicament.

And among these two ladies, Shen Yue is naturally the first and two big. The reason why she came here today was naturally that Xu Xun quietly went to Xianyuan to discuss with her, and even all kinds of plans had been prepared to stop, who knew that in addition to Mrs. Shouninghou, she would meet Mrs. Zhu, who had known her for a long time! Just now, in order to deal with Mrs. Zhu's interrogation, she had already used her brains, and Mrs. Shouninghou took it for granted that she was close to Mrs. Zhu, how would she sing in the next scene?

Mrs. Shouninghou was thanking Luo Qing with a smile, but Zhang Jingxuan was impatient to deal with a pretending to be unpredictable, so she tilted her head and looked at Shen Yue for a while, and saw that she and Mrs. Zhu seemed to only know each other, and her eyes rolled and she had an idea, and the surname Suo stepped forward and grabbed her arm affectionately.

"Miss Fang, these are all elders here, we don't have fun talking about them, let's go to other places in the temple together, okay?"

Shen Yue didn't expect this eldest lady of the Shouning Hou Mansion to be so familiar, and after being slightly stunned, she smiled and said: "I heard that the Shouning Hou Mansion is not far from here, doesn't the eldest lady come and go often?" How big is this Huguo Temple, what can there be to visit? ”

"Why, I asked you to go shopping with me, and you're not happy?" Zhang Jingxuan has always been obedient to her at home, and even the marriage was said to move Zhu Houzhao to choose as much as she wanted, and when she saw that Shen Yue actually rejected herself, she immediately sank her face.

Seeing her look of getting angry when she didn't agree with each other, Mrs. Zhu was immediately a little displeased, but when she was about to speak, Mrs. Shouninghou had already rushed ahead: "Jingxuan! are all people who are about to get married, why are they still so frizzy, people just met you, where can they follow you to the wilderness like this? Stay here well, and I'll go back after listening to Master Luo's lectures! ”

"It's boring!"

Zhang Jingxuan was annoyed for a while, and after stomping her foot, she turned around and went straight away. Seeing that she was still so disobedient outside, and in front of Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Shouninghou couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and had the intention to call people back, but her daughter walked very fast, that is, the moment she hesitated, the person had already crossed the courtyard gate and disappeared, she could only use her eyes to support the two girls to catch up, and then forced a smile: "This girl, don't let me worry about being a mother at all." ”

"She is at the age of innocence, and Madame doesn't have to be too strict."

Hearing Mrs. Zhu say such a sentence with a pun, and Mrs. Shouninghou is face was even more ugly, Shen Yue hesitated for a moment, and finally found a reason to quietly retire and leave, but he knew in his heart that there was more variable in Mrs. Zhu today, that is, Luo Qing was able to speak lotus, and Xu Xun's design was afraid that it would not be so easy to succeed.

She is not a person who believes in Taoism and Buddhism very much, since she came out, she will not go to a crowded place to join in the fun, only go to the secluded courtyard, sometimes stay in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for a while, sometimes in the west hall for a while, just when she stopped and looked east and west, she coldly caught a glimpse of a red figure not far away with a skirt tiptoe towards a moon gate.

Although it was only a back, Zhang Jingxuan's red clothes and Ren surname temper left a deep impression on her, and she immediately recognized it at a glance. After a little hesitation, I remembered that when I came to step on it with Xu Xun yesterday, the end of the courtyard over there should be the wall of Huguo Temple. She quietly followed. When she reached the moon gate, she hid herself and glanced over there. Just one glance surprised her.

I saw a young novice standing behind the two doors on the side of the fence in the courtyard, bending down with the key and fiddling with the big copper lock, and I could vaguely hear Zhang Jingxuan's coquettish urging.

"How can it take so long to open a door, really...... It's hard for him to remember that we met at the Protector Temple Meeting, and he knew to take this opportunity to meet me......"
