Chapter 68: Go to Ankooksa Temple
Min Yan said, "Do you think my mother's death is strange?" ”
Cao Shi affirmed, "Yes, the concubine was brought into the mansion by the first princess, and the first princess is generous and generous, and her body and bones have always been not bad, there is no reason to suddenly become weak, but the concubine is weak, even if she has doubts in her heart, she has no ability to investigate carefully." ”
Coming out of Cao's courtyard, Min Yan had a lot of worries, lived two lives, and knew for the first time that her mother's death was strange and related to Liu Shuhui.
…… Does Qi Zhi know? What role does it play?
On the evening of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Guogong Mansion delivered a message asking Minyan to prepare and go to Anguo Temple with a few cousins tomorrow to offer incense.
When it came to the second day, Minyan wore a plain Hangzhou silk jacket, with ferret fur rolled on the collar and cuffs, a dark brocade cloak on her body, and only a turquoise-inlaid hairpin on her head, with a few pearls the size of red beans.
When the Guogong Mansion and his party arrived, Minyan had already packed up, tea, snacks, and spare clothes had been put in the car, and Minyan just got into the car.
Min-so somehow heard that Min-yeon was going out to make incense, and she was with the people of the Guogong Mansion, and when Min-yeon arrived in the front hall, she was ready to go together.
He wore a red waist-cinching jacket, with a collar and cuffs embroidered with blooming red peonies and gold hooks.
The pink brocade cloak, with the gem-studded golden steps on its head, was clearly carefully dressed.
When the two of them came together, Minyan was much weaker.
"Eldest sister, I heard that you are going to incense, I wonder if my sister can join me?"
Min Yan took the pothos camellia, as if she didn't see it, she staggered by, Min Xiu's face turned dark, her fists clenched under her sleeves, and she turned around and followed quickly.
"Eldest sister, wait for me."
Outside the gate, the carriage of the Guogong Mansion had arrived, two cars, one for the girls and one for the girl, and the girls lifted the curtain to say hello, and then they didn't come down.
Min Yan looked up, guarding around the carriage, not only the guards of the Guogong Mansion, but also several sons, the prince Yu Changxing, the second son Yu Changming, the third son Yu Changxian, this is the grandchildren of the Guogong Mansion have gathered.
There is also a ten-year-old good-looking son who I don't know, this person is tall, it should be the son of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, Du Yutao.
It's just that who can tell her why Shen Cheng is with them? Although it fell last, the green cloth carriage and Lin Qing, who was driving the car, were telling everyone that it was Shen Cheng who was in the car.
Min Yanxin couldn't help but start to compare, together with a group of sons with the scenery of Zhilan Yushu and Jiyue, he was an outlier, if it wasn't for his temperament being too sharp, he would be no different from the guards of the country's mansion.
Shen Cheng lifted the curtain and turned his head to look at this side, nodding lightly, it was considered to have said hello.
Min Yan was helpless, but she didn't see Min Xiu behind her seeing Shen Cheng, and the joy in her eyes was about to overflow.
Min Xiu only looked at Shen Cheng, but didn't notice that Min Yan had already gotten into the car.
Lin Qing saw the camellia beside Minyan, and the hand subconsciously touched his chest, where there was a square handkerchief, he had already washed it, and wanted to return it to her, but he couldn't find a chance.
As soon as Chen Siyi flicked the horsewhip, the carriage moved slowly, Minxiu suddenly came back to his senses, and walked over quickly, "Eldest sister, wait for me." ”
But Minyan's carriage didn't mean to wait at all, and the car took the lead and walked in the forefront.
"Eldest sister, eldest sister......"
Min Xiu looked at the group following with tears in her eyes, and finally her eyes fell on Shen Cheng's carriage.
Tears were in her eyes, and she was strong enough not to let her fall, like a pitiful little discarded, and she didn't know how much she had been wronged.
Later, the carriage of the girl of the Yu family also moved, and Yu Jingxin lifted the curtain and said, "Lord Jianing, send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell, please go back!" ”
As she spoke, she lowered the curtain, and Minxiu was stunned, "I'm not...... to give it away. ”
It's just that the second half of her sentence was drowned in the sound of horses' hooves, and when Lin Qing drove by, Shen Cheng in the car saw the resentment in Minxiu's eyes flashing through the cracks in the curtains.
His brows furrowed slightly, and Min Xiu raised his eyes to see it, but he thought that he was dissatisfied with the behavior of no one in Min Yeon's eyes.
Not to mention how proud she was, she had been secretly letting people pay attention to the movements of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and when she saw the people from the Guogong Mansion coming to the door, she asked people to find out what was going on.
Knowing that it was to go to Anguo Temple to offer incense, she was moved, if she could also go, then their relationship would be more familiar, at least let him remember himself.
So, I couldn't help but dress up carefully and waited in the front yard.
She made such a gesture knowing that Min-yeon would not agree to ride in the same car with her.
Isn't it Shen Cheng's dissatisfaction with her?
The people from the Guogong Mansion walked a little farther, so Minxiu asked Xiaolan Xiaoqin to call a car, and the carriage guards were ready, and they would only come over when she gave the order.
The carriage fell far behind, like a carriage that had just been prepared, and he was afraid of Minyan's cold eyes and did not dare to step forward.
The carriage traveled for more than an hour to the foot of the mountain of Ankokuji Temple.
I don't know if it's because of the New Year, everyone is busy, or it's too cold this day, Anguo Temple, which used to be like a cloud, is a little deserted today, and a few pilgrims are scattered nearby.
In order to show sincerity, most of the pilgrims climbed up on their own, and there was also the lady who was weak, and asked the shoulder of the person under the mountain to carry it up.
The girls in the carriage all got out of the carriage, got out of the warm carriage, and involuntarily shrank their necks, and the horses and carriages were led by someone.
Several girls from the Yuguo Mansion came to Minyan's side to talk, obviously, after the last horse hanging, the relationship between several people has become a lot closer, and it also makes people see Minyan's changes.
Min Yan looked at Yu Jingning with a smile: "That is Du Gongzi!" ”
Yu Jingning's cheeks were slightly red and she nodded her head, obviously satisfied with the surname Du.
Yu Jingyi said, "Cousin, you don't know, that Du Gongzi heard that he was going to come with us to make incense, and he waited at the door of our house before dawn, and when the people in the house found out, the frost on his body was all layered." ”
"Poof" Minyan couldn't help laughing, she could think that although sincerity was enough, it was too stupid.
At this time, Minxiu's carriage also stopped, and Yu Jingyi asked, "Cousin, what's the matter with the county lord of Jianing, why do you keep following us?" ”
"Who knows, maybe for whom."
Saying this, Min Yan couldn't help but glance at Shen Cheng, who had just gotten out of the car, and Shen Cheng was a little inexplicable.
Du Yutao, who was not far away, asked, "Do you need a shoulder call for a few girls?" ”
During the questioning, the gaze turned to Yu Jingning from time to time, and Yu Jingning only felt that there seemed to be a fire burning on her cheeks, and she couldn't raise her head in shame.
Min Yan looked Du Yutao up and down, and her bright and upright gaze made people can't rise to disgust, which made Du Yutao nervous.
"No, climb more mountains, just to exercise."
Yu Jingyi echoed, "Yes, Du Gongzi, you can be warmer if you move more." ”
Apparently also made fun of him freezing like that in the morning.
Du Yutao also felt a little embarrassed, and his ears were red.
"It's Du who didn't think it through."
Minxiu got out of the car and walked over, and several girls who were talking stopped, "Eldest sister, cousin, cousin." ”
The voice is like a warbler's cry, and the posture is slender, as if the wind is about to float with the wind.
"Lord Jianing."
The girls saluted each other, and then they had nothing to say.
A few people who were still chattering just now, as soon as they quieted down, Minxiu was embarrassed, as if she had ruined the atmosphere here.
No matter what, Minxiu is also Liu Shuhui's child, even if her reputation is much better than Minyan's, it doesn't prevent the people in the Guogong Mansion from not wanting to have a deep friendship with her.
It's just that she herself doesn't have this self-consciousness, and she thinks that if everyone doesn't talk to him and her, it must be what Minyan said.
At this time, Yu Changxing said, "The general has a leg disease, why don't you call it a shoulder friend!" ”
Lin Qing on the side also echoed, "Yes, general, the mountain of Anguo Temple is too high!" ”
Shen Cheng said without hesitation: "No need. ”
Minxiu said softly with worry in her eyes, "General, don't be strong, if your leg disease worsens, none of us will be at ease." ”
Shen Cheng didn't even give her a look, and took the lead and stepped onto the steps.
Later, Camellia got out of the car with a big food box, and Yu Jingyi saw it, "Cousin, you let her carry so many things, it's very heavy!" ”
Yu Jingxin looked at her with an inalienable gaze.
Camellia defended her master, "It's just some food and tea here, and it's not very heavy." ”
The pothos knew the ability of the camellia, and also said, "Miss Yu, don't worry!" These things mean little to camellia. ”
Lin Qing saw that Shen Cheng was gone, and just as he was about to follow, he saw what Camellia was taking, hesitated for a moment, and walked over and said, "Why don't I take it for you!" ”
Camellia didn't give him the slightest chance, "No, I'll do it myself, you better go after your master!" ”
Lin Qing turned around, and sure enough, although Shen Cheng had climbed hard, he had already walked a long way.
Helpless, Lin Qing could only catch up quickly.
Minxiu comforted everyone and said, "Don't worry, Camellia often does this kind of thing, you should be used to it." ”
It means that Min Yan's harsh treatment of subordinates is already the norm.
When she said this, people couldn't help but take a second look, and several girls in the Yu family only glanced at Minyan, and the deep meaning in her eyes made Minyan twitch, and the girls stepped on the steps one after another, and the girls and mothers-in-law also followed quickly.
Minxiu was a little embarrassed, the group was all on foot, and Minxiu was embarrassed even if he wanted to call a shoulder friend.
can only keep up, Shen Cheng is the first, Minxiu wants to hurry up and catch up with Shen Cheng, but her legs and feet are not strong, even if she easily climbed two more floors, after a few steps, she fell behind again.
On the other hand, Minyan is step-by-step, but she is much more stable than her.
Yu Jingyi was small, she was full of interest at first, full of strength, and felt that it was not a problem for her to be able to go up to the top of the mountain in one go, but this strength did not last long, and she soon became tired.
There is a platform in front of it, and there are pavilion stone tables and stone benches on the platform for pilgrims to rest.
A few people went to the pavilion to rest for a while.
