In a blink of an eye, it is the eighth bathing Buddha festival in early April.

Wu and the fourth wife acted quickly, and in just a few days, they mentioned a few noble daughters from high-ranking families to the third wife, and it happened that on the same day, these families also went to Ling'an Temple to listen to Mrs. Jinghui's lectures.

There are Jiang Yao of the Jiang family, Du Zhen, the eldest daughter and second daughter Du Sheng, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Guilan, the daughter of the Xuanping Hou family, all of whom are of the same age.

Of course, this is only one-sided, unless it is the third wife, they ask someone to knock on the side and ask.

For example, Jiang Yao, although she has a good reputation, is a second-room person, although it is recorded in the name of the second lady, but the concubine gives birth to a daughter. And Lord Du relied on the saint, but he offended the queen mother, and his power in the capital is shallow, so he is not high or low. As for the Marquis of Xuanping, there is only a title of marquis, and the descendants who have not been successful over the years have almost fallen into ruin, but this only daughter has a good appearance and a good personality, and she is quite knowledgeable.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the matching process is indeed more than enough.

The third lady reluctantly agreed, and she would see her before she spoke.

To Tong Yan's surprise, Wu took the initiative to invite her to ride with her, saying that the distance was not close, and it was better to be a companion to talk.

Tong Yan knew what was going on in her heart.

If they ride together and are seen by others, they will always sigh and say that their young mother-in-law and the new daughter-in-law have a harmonious relationship, but if they don't ride, others will not say anything, they will only feel reasonable.

Especially the prince is not from the Wu family, a hundred years after the Duke of Wei in the future, the Wu family and the young son will still have to beg for a living under Cheng Huai's hands, if others know that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, it will only be good for the Wu family's status among these noblewomen.

It didn't matter to Tong Yan, especially Cheng Huai wanted to ride a horse, and he couldn't ride with her, so he agreed to Wu.

The mighty team set off before dawn.

Through the bumpy car curtain, Tong Yan faintly saw that there were also many pedestrians on the road, carrying dry food on their backs, and they were all in a hurry while the moonlight was on the way, all in the direction of Chongguo Temple and Ling'an Temple.

Some people are angry, some people have solemn expressions, some people have sad faces, and some people are full of spirits, old and young, strong and sick, and all kinds of pedestrians.

Tong Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly, this was the first time she had participated in such a grand event.

Wu smiled and said, "If you are sleepy, you can sleep on the big pillow for a while, it will take a while to arrive, it is estimated that when it comes, it will be later." After saying that, she couldn't help but yawn, a little embarrassed.

Originally, Tong Yan was not sleepy, she knew that she had to get up early today, so she rested early yesterday, but when she saw Wu's yawn, she suddenly felt sleepy and yawned.

Both laughed.

Qingzhi put the pillow behind Tong Yan and let Tong Yan lean on it, and the Wu maid did the same.

Tong Yan and Wu both closed their eyes, and the carriage fell silent.

This sleep turned out to be a deep sleep, and after the carriage stopped, Tong Yan was called up by Qingzhi.

Wu looked at Tong Yan enviously, "You are really blessed, unlike me, you can't sleep even if you want to, and you will wake up after being confused for a while." ”

Tong Yan has also learned to be thick-skinned now, if she had put it aside, she would definitely have blushed, but this time she smiled generously and replied, "I didn't expect to sleep so deeply, I used to ride in a carriage, and I choked enough, probably I got used to it after sitting two more times." ”

Ling'an Temple is also built halfway up the mountainside, but it is lower than Chongguo Temple, and the foot of the mountain is full of all kinds of carriages.

Tong Yan: They didn't come early.

Cheng Huai personally helped her out of the car, causing several elders to laugh.

Although Tong Yan was a little embarrassed, she held Cheng Huai's hand, and her heart was still sweet.

Although Cheng Huai didn't want to let go, he still wanted to lead her up, but everyone couldn't let go of his mouth, so he had to let go of his hand and ordered Qingzhi and Ji Yue to come over and help her.

Fortunately, it's not hot yet, it coincides with late spring, and everyone doesn't feel tired when they go up, only the eldest wife, the oldest, and doesn't move often, holding the maid and panting.

The temple was already full of people, and many of them were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed and confused.

Some nuns were already waiting at the door, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly put together and said, "Donors, I'm really sorry, there are too many pilgrims today, and I can't be busy, so I can't go down the mountain to greet them, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

The eldest lady and the Wu family are not the masters of making trouble, and while smiling kindly, they said in their mouths, "It's not in the way." ”

Because the eldest lady donates sesame oil money to the Ling'an Temple all the year round, the people in the Ling'an Temple remember the eldest lady of the Wei State Mansion, and the nun made a gesture of invitation and took them to the guest room prepared in advance at the back.

"In about an hour, the puja will begin, and the donors will drink some tea and eat some vegetarian snacks here to rest, and when the time comes, the poor nuns will come and lead the donors over." The nun folded her hands and saw that they had no objection, so she withdrew.

Cheng Huai still had something to do, and when he saw that he was settled, he asked a few words and left.

Soon after they arrived, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Xuanping Hou came over with their daughter to say hello.

The Wu family and the fourth wife looked at each other, they only slightly revealed a little meaning, but they didn't expect Mrs. Du and Mrs. Xuanping Hou to be so positive.

It's not good for a woman to be too proactive.

But the third lady didn't think so, and she was very happy.

What does this mean, this shows that his son is still very sought-after, and it is still very correct to let Ruxiu's family affair go.

Mrs. Du brought two flower-like daughters behind her, and Mrs. Xuanping Hou also brought a beautiful girl behind her.

Everyone greeted each other.

Speaking of which, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Wei State Mansion have never had much intersection, and the female relatives of the two families have only met in the palace from afar during the New Year's holidays.

As for the Du family, they just came to the capital, and they were given no face by the Queen Mother, and the Wu family, the third wife, and the fourth wife, rarely saw Mrs. Du at any party.

Fortunately, Tong Yan was here, and the third lady took advantage of the fact that Tong Yan and the three young ladies were of the same age, and asked with a smile, although it was a small talk, but she also had a general understanding of the thoughts of the two ladies and the temperament of the three young ladies.

Tong Yan especially admires the third wife, even for the first time to meet people, she can also make people feel at ease, as if they only met yesterday, always cordial and enthusiastic chatting, and it will not make people feel abrupt.

Mrs. Du was originally considering Du Zhen, after all, the Queen Mother gave her a shameless face in public, everyone knew that she treated her stepdaughter harshly and gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock, so she could only arrange a good family affair for Du Zhen first, so that she could barely give herself a good reputation.

But when she saw that Mrs. Third had such a good temperament, she regretted it a little.

The eldest son of the second master of the Wei Mansion, what a good marriage this is, the prince is a younger brother, and it is indispensable to bring these cousins and cousins in the future, especially Cheng Yu is still the same age as the prince, growing up together, and the relationship must be very good, if Sheng'er marries in the past, it will be a concubine with the county lord!
