Xie Xianzhi stayed in the house near the Bao'en Temple, and lived in a simple house every day, in addition to studying hard at home and recuperating his body, he would also go to the Bao'en Temple every day to pay homage to the Buddha in a low-key manner.

Several of his masters and servants are familiar with the monks of Bao'en Temple, and sometimes they will chat a few words. He had heard about the consecration puja held in the eighth temple in the first month of February, but it felt like it was just an ordinary puja. That day was the day when the Buddha became a monk, and every year the major temples inside and outside the capital held a consecration ceremony. In previous years, the puja at Bao'en Temple did not attract so many people to participate.

So, is there something special happening this year?

Xie Mulin remembered that he had only met Xiao Rui the day before yesterday, and he knew that her brother was now living near Bao'en Temple, and if there was really any special puja, it would attract many officials and dignitaries to come, so it was impossible not to remind her. Could it be that the incident happened after the day before yesterday?

Xie Yinghui remembered that she had only met her friend Ma Yurong a few days ago. If there is any special significance for the consecration puja on the eighth day of February this year, it is impossible for Ma Yurong not to tell her.

The two sisters looked at each other and said in unison: "What happened yesterday?!" ”

Xie Xianzhi didn't know anything, and looked at the two sisters inexplicably: "Yesterday? Didn't anything happen? You moved here to reunite with me, and I met Master Jiao in the temple. Oh, by the way, Qingsong also bumped into Cousin Wentai outside. Other than that, there should be nothing else, right? ”

Xie Mulin felt a stirring in his heart: "Is it possible...... Lord Jiao Wenying and Cao Wentai will appear in Bao'en Temple and the surrounding area of Bao'en Temple, also because of the consecration ceremony?! Since there are so many officials and magnates who have come for this consecration ceremony, it is impossible for a high-ranking official like Master Jiao and a prince like Cao Wentai to be absent, right? ”

Xie Yinghui pursed her lips: "If the eldest cousin is here for his grandmother's funeral, it is reasonable, if he is here to associate with other officials and magnates...... That would be too much! He also wears filial piety! Even if he really doesn't want to let go of the things that are fighting for power and profit in the court, the capital is so big, where can he go to meet people? Do you have to run to my grandmother's future resting place?! ”

Xie Mulin said: "Let's stop speculating here, hurry up and ask someone to go to the temple to inquire." Since there are so many dignitaries and nobles who want to gather in Bao'en Temple, we want to hide our whereabouts, and we want the eldest brother and sister to send the Duchess Cheng'en on the last journey, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult. ”

She turned to Xie Yinghui again: "For example, Pingnanbo Mansion, their family will definitely not let go of this opportunity." In the name of giving the funeral to the Duchess of Chengen, are they afraid that they will not find the opportunity to cling to the powerful? ”

Xie Yinghui said with a dark face: "I'll go and deliver a letter to Yurong." She must know that! ”

Xie Xianzhi sighed and reminded her: "Send someone home to take a look first." If Miss Ma wanted to send you a letter, she would probably send it to her home, but she must not have known that you had left home early. ”

Xie Yinghui went in response and sent a mother-in-law back to the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge to ask for a letter. If there is no news over there, this mother-in-law will directly carry her handwritten letter and go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongning to ask to see Ma Yurong.

Xie Xianzhi also sent a few clever male servants, some of whom went to Bao'en Temple to find familiar monks to inquire about the news of the consecration ceremony, and some of them went to Luolang Lane to find the shopkeeper to see if they could hear some rumors in the merchant circle.

Two hours later, all parties turned around, and the three brothers and sisters of the Xie family finally understood what this consecration ceremony was all about.

According to the monks of Bao'en Temple, the consecration ceremony of Bao'en Temple on the eighth day of the second month of February will be held until February 15 in one go, which is a rare scale in recent years, and it is much grander than in previous years. This matter was decided temporarily, Bao'en Temple originally only planned to hold a normal scale of the festival, because suddenly the scale was expanded, the required supplies, manpower were insufficient, hastily had to borrow people and materials from several other big temples in Beijing, and the abbot of those big temples also generously extended a helping hand, otherwise I was afraid that Bao'en Temple would be difficult to end, and it would be disgraced in front of the magnates in the capital.

The servants of the Xie family asked why the scale of this festival was suddenly expanded, and the ordinary monks of Bao'en Temple could not say clearly, only that it was explained by the abbot. Only one monk, who lived in the same monastic house as the abbot's personal disciples, mentioned that this was a decree issued by the palace.

As for why the palace issued such a will, the answer can only be known from Ma Yurong's reply.

It turned out that the current Queen Mother had a daughter in her early years, who was born on the eighth day of the second month, but unfortunately died on the day she was born, which seems to be because she was injured when she was in her mother's womb. The Queen Mother has always been very sad and regrets that she failed to discover other people's calculations in time, so that she failed to protect this eldest daughter. However, when she had two sons in succession, she gradually forgot this sadness.

However, after getting up early yesterday morning, the Queen Mother suddenly told the people waiting around her that she had dreamed of this eldest daughter and missed her very much, so she wanted to hold a festival to pray for the deceased daughter. After the eldest princess Yongning entered the palace, she learned about it, so she discussed it with the queen mother and did this puja in Bao'en Temple. Because the eldest princess came to Bao'en Temple to pray for blessings and make wishes, the marriage of her sons was successfully resolved, and she was about to marry a daughter-in-law who matched her heart. She believes that the bodhisattvas here are miraculous, and the monks are also very virtuous, and if you want to pray for the blessing of her sister who died young, there is no more suitable place than Bao'en Temple.

It is impossible for the emperor to dissuade the queen mother in this kind of matter, so the palace issued an edict to Bao'en Temple. Before the decree came down, the people from the Internal Affairs Office and the Praetorian Guard came to see the place, because it was difficult to say for sure whether the Queen Mother or the Emperor would come in person, but the eldest princess of Yongning had already decided to bring her children to live in the temple for a few days.

Because of this incident, Ma Yurong proposed to Xie Yinghui in the letter that the two could reunite in a place outside the temple, and she wanted to set up a small banquet for Xie Yinghui in person. Xie Yinghui looked at the letter and couldn't help but sigh.

Xie Xianzhi's subordinates also mentioned the news from outside, Jiao Wenying came to Bao'en Temple, not to consecrate the Fa. He was buried in the temple with his deceased, and he would come to worship on the seventh day of the second month every year. But this year, as soon as he heard that there was a decree in the palace to hold a consecration ceremony on the eighth day of the second lunar month, in order to avoid the quiet and avoid the surging officials and magnates, he took advantage of the rest day to come over in advance to offer incense.

As for Cao Wentai, he visited all the shops selling incense and candle offerings in the area of Bao'en Temple, and it seemed that he wanted to hold a beautiful funeral ceremony for his stepgrandmother. But the days are so hasty, and the things bought are only in large quantities and expensive, and in fact they are not very fine, they are all rushed out, so it can be seen that the Chengenhou Mansion only decided to do this temporarily. Considering that the funeral of the Duchess of Cheng'en was on the sixth day of the second month, it was very close to the day of the consecration ceremony, and at this time, a large number of powerful people had already gathered in the area of Bao'en Temple.

After Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui heard this, they both felt very speechless. Xie Mulin was quite surprised: "So, his family has started to do superficial work again?" Then even if you meet us, you will only be polite, and you will not do anything bad to let others see it, right? ”
