"Isn't my cousin there?" Cui Wenxiang asked a little nervously.

"Of course she's here, but she's a little unwell today and can't see Wen Xiang."

Mrs. Lu lightly blamed the reason for her daughter's refusal to come out as being unwell, she was actually very annoyed in her heart, this time happened to be absent from her husband, she could use this time to promote the emotional integration of her daughter and nephew, as long as the two had the same mind, then the husband could no longer object, and the marriage of Cui Lu was a matter of course.

It's just that her daughter's personality is the kind of soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she resolutely refuses to come to see Wenxiang, which makes her both annoyed and helpless.

"If Wen Xiang wants to see her, in fact, there will be opportunities in the future, so I don't need to rush this time."

Cui Wenxiang couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, he just wanted to see his cousin today, coax her to be happy, and then ask her out to go out, and then get close to her step by step, his ultimate goal was achieved, but his aunt said that his cousin was unwell, and he didn't let himself visit her, which was obviously because his cousin refused to see him, not necessarily sick.

He sighed, and simply mustered up the courage to ask directly, "Auntie, does the little nephew really have no chance?" ”

Mrs. Lu laughed, the young man always couldn't hold his breath, and a little setback made him lose confidence, how would he be the head of the Cui family in the future if he was so weak, she comforted Cui Wenxiang and said, "Don't worry! Auntie will help you and will definitely make you happy. ”

"But my uncle—"

"Although your uncle has not made a clear statement, he has not opposed Cui Lu's marriage, but he just needs your father and your uncle to have a good talk, and make concessions in some aspects, I think your uncle will be able to agree, as for your cousin's side, in fact, it is not a big problem, the matchmaker's words. Parents' life! Once a woman gets married or has children, some of the little emotions when she was a girl will pass, and you don't have to worry too much. ”

Aunt's clear statement made Cui Wenxiang overjoyed, it turned out that as long as his father was willing to give in, his uncle could agree, but the problem was the relationship between Cui Lu's two families. It's not a big problem, and I can convince my father.

Cui Wenxiang suddenly burst into flames, and said with a smile: "I heard Qingyuan say that my uncle went to Chang'an and Chengdu to inspect the official school, and it will take at least a month to come back, right?" ”

Mrs. Lu nodded, "Because there are too many people begging your uncle, it's too much to be annoyed, now that the list has been decided." He went out to avoid it, and he couldn't bear it because the favor was too heavy, and it was estimated that it would take a month to come back, and when the spring flowers bloomed, let your father come and talk about it, and I think the marriage would be settled. ”

Mrs. Lu knew her husband well, and he had complained to her more than once that Cui was too strong. Suppressing the Lu clan in all aspects, he must change this situation. Mrs. Lu guessed her husband's true thoughts, he was not unwilling to marry Cui Lu, but wanted to use the opportunity of this marriage to force the Cui family to make concessions.

For example, Cui's family study is unwilling to be open to Lu's children, such as the Lu family's lack of honorable seats at major ceremonies held by Cui's family, etc., her husband is a person who pays attention to details. He will definitely ask the Cui family to make concessions to the Lu family in details, as long as his brother can make many concessions in details to ensure the dignity of the Lu family, then this marriage can be completed smoothly.

In any case, she will also thread the needle and lead the way to promote the marriage of the next generation of Cui Lu's two families.

Cui Wenxiang got the assurance of his aunt. His mind also began to liven up, if on the premise that the marriage is guaranteed, and then urge himself and his cousin to fall in love, wouldn't the marriage be sweeter, the key is to let the cousin accept himself willingly, there is just a month left, he can fight for some opportunities, to please his cousin.

Thinking of this, Cui Wenxiang said with a smile: "The little nephew happens to have time these days, and I want to take my cousin out to relax my mood, does my aunt see if this is possible?" ”

Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with her nephew's attitude of taking the initiative, she nodded and smiled: "Tomorrow morning, your cousin is going to the Zenlin Temple to offer incense, you can take this opportunity to take her out for a walk." ”

Cui Wenxiang was overjoyed, and he smiled again and asked, "Isn't my aunt going?" ”

"Originally, I also wanted to go together, but let's leave the opportunity to you young people!"

Cui Wenxiang hurriedly got up and saluted, "Little nephew, thank you aunt for your success!" ”

Chanlin Temple is located near Luoyang Longmen, among the more than 30 temples in Luoyang, its scale can only be regarded as medium, and its reputation is also average, it belongs to the second-rate temple, but there are still many official eunuchs who regard it as their own worship temple.

This is also the practice of Buddhist temples, after experiencing the heyday of Buddhism in the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, almost every household has its own fixed incense temple, the eunuchs and magnates have their own temples to worship, and the sesame oil money is offered to the monks every year, and even Emperor Yang Jian of Sui Wen also has his own Huangjue Temple.

Since Lu Zuo came to the capital as an official, of course, he also had to choose a temple to worship, the reason why he chose Chanlin Temple, because Lu Chu, another clansman who was an official in the capital, recommended, the Lu family officially took Zenlin Temple as their own temple, offering sesame oil money at four o'clock every year, and at the end of the year, they also had to allocate grain and rice, for the Zenlin Temple with only more than 300 monks, Lu Zuo was their most honorable pilgrim, not because of the size of the official position, but because of the reputation of the 'Fanyang Lu family'.

Today is February 27th, and Chanlin Temple received a letter sent by Mrs. Lu a month ago, saying that she would bring her daughter to Chanlin Temple to restore, and hoped that the temple would make proper arrangements.

The so-called proper arrangement means that we don't want outsiders to disturb us, so the Zenlin Temple began to clean the temple the day before, replace the futon, and stop accepting pilgrims before the appointed time, in preparation for welcoming Mrs. Lu's mother and daughter.

In the morning, Cui Wenxiang came to the Zenlin Temple in advance with several entourages, today he specially dressed up, wearing a golden crown, a slight layer of powder on his face, more his lips and teeth are white, handsome and chic, he is wearing a brocade robe embroidered on a white background, a jade belt around his waist, wearing a sword inlaid with gold wire, riding on a tall white horse, perhaps because of full confidence, he seems to be more energetic, many young girls who come to the suburbs to go green, can not help but cast admiration to him.

Cui Wenxiang's conditions are indeed very good, the son of a famous family, Jinbang High School, young and promising, with a strong background of his father and family, and a promising future, plus he is knowledgeable and handsome, who would not want to marry such a husband? Cui Wenxiang has become the idol of countless girls from Hebei families.

But things in the world are often so interesting, although more than ninety percent of the girls from Hebei families admire Cui Wenxiang, but Cui Wenxiang's favorite cousin does not value him, which makes him very frustrated.

However, with the clear commitment of his aunt, Cui Wenxiang saw the dawn of winning this marriage, indeed, the relationship between Cui Lu's two families has long been deep-rooted, even if there will be a little wave and unhappiness occasionally, it will not affect the long-term interests between the two families.

Cui Wenxiang came to the Zenlin Temple, he turned over and dismounted and walked towards the gate of the temple, only to see many pilgrims coming out of the temple one after another, he was just about to enter the door, an old monk clasped hands to stop him.

"Amitabha, there will be distinguished guests in the temple, can you ask the son to come back another day, I'm really sorry!"

Cui Wenxiang smiled slightly: "Your distinguished guest is Mrs. Lu, right!" ”

"How does Childe know?" The old monk asked in surprise.

"I met Mrs. Lu yesterday, she asked me to come to the temple to wait for them, but Mrs. Lu can't come today because of something, only Miss Lu came alone, I just came to wait for her."

The old monk was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask the son's surname?" ”

Cui Wenxiang raised his eyebrows a little proudly and said: "Under Cui Wenxiang, he was born in the Boling Cui family, the son of Cui Shilang!" ”

The old monk was suddenly in awe, it turned out to be the son of Cui Zhao, the son of the Cui clan of Boling, he hurriedly saluted and said: "The poor monk was rude just now, please come with me!" ”

Cui Wenxiang followed the old monk to your room, someone ran to report to the abbot, and after a while, the abbot of the temple, Master Hongzhi, walked briskly, clasped his palms and saluted, "Welcome Cui Gongzi to the small temple." ”

Cui Wenxiang smiled slightly, "The abbot doesn't have to be polite, I'm just here to accompany Miss Lu to incense, I don't know when she will arrive?" ”

"It's almost there! Cui Gongzi, please come into the room to drink tea and wait. ”

Cui Wenxiang walked into your room and sat down, a little monk served him tea, he took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "I wonder if the other pilgrims have been invited out of the temple?" ”

"Informed, they will go out by themselves, they are all old pilgrims, and they can't be too rude, please forgive me!"

At this time, Master Hongzhi suddenly thought of a pilgrim, and hurriedly beckoned the monk to come up, and whispered to him: "You go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall quickly, and ask the pilgrim who is watching the Arhat to leave." (To be continued......)
