Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Great Hall

"Call the county lord of Zhaoyang and the county lord of Wen'an, Du Juan, you go and ask the master of Shikong in the temple to arrange it." Madame Wang instructed the maid.

The cuckoo got the order and hurried away.

Soon the cuckoo came back out of breath, and Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Why are you flustered." ”

"Mrs. Hui, Princess Anle is also here, as well as the second Mrs. Jiang and the third lady of the Jiang family, I heard that they arrived last afternoon, and they are visiting in the main hall at the moment, and the maid heard Master Shikong say that the wings in this temple are full, and the wives of several families have brought the young lady to pray for blessings, and said that if the lady needs to visit, just come to the main hall, the temple is closed today, there are no idlers next to it, and please rest assured." The cuckoo bamboo tube poured beans like 1510 said.

"Yes." Mrs. Wang was thoughtful, and she muttered: "These days are not special holidays, what's the matter?" It's such a coincidence? “

Wang Lan heard it clearly on the side, she was in a trance, and muttered: "I seem to have heard that since last year or the year before, Princess Anle will come to this Chongguo Temple every time the mother of the prince of Wei is killed, it seems that the prince of Wei will also come, isn't it today?" ”

Mrs. Wang glanced at her and scolded: "You can also talk about such a thing of chasing wind and shadows?" This is a matter of ruining the reputation of the princess, and no nonsense is allowed in the future! ”

Wang Lan didn't care, and muttered in a low voice: "Princess Anle still cares about her reputation, her reputation is long gone." ”

"Lan'er!" Madame Wang lowered her voice and shouted, she glanced out of the door, and gave the cuckoo a look to make her close the door.

"You've got me covered." Mrs. Wang walked to Wang Lan's side, stared at her careless appearance, frowned and admonished: "If you offend Princess Shuning, you can't offend Princess Anle, and Concubine Shuniang, and even the entire Jiang family, do you hear?" “

"Why?" Wang Lan whispered dissatisfiedly, "Princess Shuning is a princess!" ”

Mrs. Wang sneered, and whispered in two voices that could only be heard: "What about the princess, the saint is getting older and older year by year, the middle palace is still childless, and Shuning is not without a backer, now only your cousin Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu have children under their knees, but Concubine Xian has a hard life and gave birth to a son, and she is still a fool." ”

As she spoke, she thought of her two sisters-in-law again, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Your two aunts are really miserable, one married into the palace as a side room and went crazy, and the other entered the palace as Jieyu, and finally gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus. Not long ago, Zheng Meiren finally got pregnant, but she had a miscarriage, and I heard that it was a boy again.

In short, now under the knees of the saint, there is only one standing prince of Princess Anle's brother, whether it is successful or not, this is the future prince, and it is said that once the son of heaven and a courtier, now there is no need to even stand in the team, only one of the four princes. “

She gently flicked Wang Lan's little brain, "Do you know why?" ”

Wang Lan rubbed his head and said, "My mother loves to knock on my head, and I'm going to be stupid." ”

Mrs. Wang touched her daughter's head lovingly, and asked again with perseverance.

"Got it, got it." Wang Lan stuck out his tongue.

"If either your aunt and your cousin can give birth to a healthy prince, it won't be their Jiang family who can walk sideways today." Mrs. Wang's eyes gradually deepened.

Jiang Yi is a stupid head, giving birth to a son and a daughter, look at what kind of ghost they have cultivated.

She heard that the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord were very dissatisfied with the four princes, and they were short-tempered and domineering, not to mention, and their heads were not smart at all, and they were not happy with the princess, but if any concubine can give birth to a healthy Lin'er, where is there still the matter of the four princes, otherwise these four princes are all thirteen or fourteen years old, and they will not see the matter of the Holy Prince.

This Zheng Meiren's child has been pregnant for several months, and the fetus is firmly seated, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't have fallen.

Mrs. Wang's heart jumped, she suppressed the cranky thoughts in her heart, and told Wang Lan uneasily, "Don't go out to talk about what I told you, you know?" ”

"Got it, got it." Wang Lan hugged her arm and lied coquettishly.

Mrs. Wang was relieved, opened the door, and instructed the cuckoo to invite the two county lords to go to the main hall to offer incense and pray for blessings.

The two sisters were also idle, but when they got the letter, they went with Mrs. Wang.

Yesterday, Shikong told Tong Yan that she guessed that Princess Anle and Jiang Yao would definitely come, otherwise how could the nobles in Beijing know that where there is Cheng Huai, there will be Princess Anle.

So when they arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall and saw An Le and Jiang Yao, Tong Yan was not surprised at all.

There was also a richly dressed woman beside the two of them, although the corners of her mouth were smiling, but she did not look very good-looking, and her bones were a little tough.

If it weren't for Mrs. Wang's introduction to her, she wouldn't have believed that this was Jiang Yao's mother, this Second Mrs. Jiang's appearance was really far from Jiang Yao's too enchanting appearance!

Feeling Tong Yan's shocked eyes, Jiang Yao was a little embarrassed, but Second Lady Jiang glanced at her without a trace, and did not react much.

In the main hall, it was inconvenient for everyone to say much, and after greeting each other, they quietly and piously worshipped on incense.

Tong Yan originally had nothing to pray for, and she didn't believe that kowtowing to Shangzhu incense and making a wish for the gods and Buddhas would help you realize it, it was simply nonsense.

Heinous people, lazy people, worship the Buddha and have everything? It's a dream! I'm afraid that the gods and Buddhas are in the sky, and when they see such people, they will shake their heads and sigh and leave, it's not enough to pollute their eyeballs!

It is better to have a clear conscience and be an upright person, and do what you should do every day, and you will naturally have it. If you work hard or not, you don't have to feel unfair, as the so-called do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and do it without regrets and shame is already the fulfillment of life.

Tong Yan calmly and without asking for anything, she buckled her head three times at the majestic and kind gilded bronze Buddha statue.

She looked at Tongyue, who was kneeling on the futon, looking around at the wide and magnificent hall with curiosity, feeling her gaze, glancing at her, and continuing to look around unsteadily.

Wang Lan and Tongyue are similar, and they don't seem to want to stay here honestly.

And Mrs. Wang is very religious, and so is Mrs. Jiang.

To Tong Yan's surprise, Princess An Le and Jiang Yao also looked quite religious, especially An Le, who still had words in her mouth, but she could see her mouth moving slightly, but she couldn't hear what it was.

After a long time, Tong Yan felt that her legs were numb, and only then did these "believers" who prayed sincerely tell their wishes.

Tong Yan couldn't figure out if she wanted to break her head, these people had fine clothes and food, and their status was noble, where did they get so many wishes.

She suddenly remembered that a blind old man who was passing by said that there is no end to human desires and ambitions.

This phrase is said by the casino people.

She was only over ten years old at the time, A-Niang was beaten by He Laifu and was covered in injuries, she sat in the corner outside the house crying sadly, just met the ragged blind old man, he gently wiped her tears with his rough and vicissitudes of his fingers, while saying lightly.

She was still young at the time, and she didn't understand anything, but she just looked at him ignorantly.

But now, she thought it was true, not only He Laifu, or the people in the casino, but also these nobles, otherwise, how could they have knelt here for so long?
