It is not only the daughter who has not come out of the cabinet to pray for blessings in Huguo Temple, but also some women, among whom Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis is respected, because Xuanwu Marquis does not care about everything, and is very popular among the magnates in the capital, and many people are smiling when they see Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis.

Jiang Yuanliu met with Mrs. Marquis Xuanwu, and then followed the people to pray in the main hall, and also lit prayer lamps for the displaced people in Cangzhou, and some ladies also asked the maid to bring a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to donate to the merit box.

These ladies are all generous, looking at these large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, Jiang Yuanliu's eyes are hot, if this money is used to buy, it will definitely save many people's lives.

"Cangzhou first suffered a great flood, and then a great drought, the people were displaced, it is really pitiful, we and other women can not put on armor to go into battle, so we can only pray for blessings, may the Bodhisattva bless the people of Cangzhou through this calamity." Mrs. Xuanwu Hou said with a sigh.

Jiang Yuanliu stood next to Xuanwuhou because of her status and status, and she muttered in her heart, instead of asking God and worshiping Buddha here, it is better to beg herself to exchange gold, silver and jewelry for food, cloth and medicine to send Cangzhou, which is not as real as asking God to worship Buddha.

However, Jiang Yuanliu knew that if she said this sentence in her heart now, she would definitely be looked down upon by these ladies and young ladies, and she would not be able to exchange it for actual things, but fortunately, she had already made preparations.

"You young children go to play by yourself, and I wait for the old woman to wander impatiently and go to the backyard to talk to the Zen master." Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis knew in her heart that although they were in the name of praying for blessings, they were actually out to play.

Several thoughtful daughters immediately behaved and flattered, and repeatedly said that Mrs. Xuanwu Hou was in her prime, far from the old woman, which made Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis smile and smiled, and her rich appearance seemed to be a bodhisattva on the shrine.

If Jiang Yuanliu didn't know the good things done by the two of them Xuanwu Hou and his wife, she really believed that Xuanwu Hou and Mrs. Xuanwu Hou were a kind person, but unfortunately she was well-informed and knew some unknown secrets.

Qi Ruge stood behind the person, looking well-behaved, but his face was a little stiff, and his fingers kept twisting the handkerchief, as if he was very nervous.

But this is also normal, after all, she is pregnant, Qingqi is open-minded, does not restrict men and women, but does not condone men and women, unmarried pregnancy is not allowed with the people, Qi Ruge is worried about being known.

Mrs. Xuanwu Hou smiled and groaned, "All go to play, they are all at the age of flowers, you don't have to stick to us old women, the mountain behind Huguo Temple has beautiful scenery, and go to see the scenery." ”

Jiang Yuanliu didn't want to go out to play with these innocent daughters, even if the mountain behind Huguo Temple was full of red leaves, it was just a fleeting scenery in her eyes, and now she had more important things to do.

So Jiang Yuanliu followed behind Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis, "Madam, I am a little confused in my heart, and I want to go to the Zen master to answer the doubts in my heart." ”

"Well, you child, come with us." Mrs. Xuanwu Hou Hou thought that Jiang Yuanliu's mother's ever-bright lantern had been in Huguo Temple, and she thought that she wanted to see the Zen master because of this.

In addition to Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis, there are also the wives of several ministers, because their status is not as good as that of Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis, they all follow behind, Jiang Yuanliu's father is the protector of the country, and with the status of the protector, Jiang Yuanliu is likely to get a title.

Thinking about the situation that the protector has no seal, now that the daughter of the in-law has returned, the emperor is likely to give Jiang Yuanliu the reward for the protector at this year's New Year's Festival.

Therefore, the wives of these ministers, whether they are civil servants or military generals, are very polite to Jiang Yuanliu.

Walking on the path leading to the meditation room at the back, Jiang Yuanliu fell out of her sleeve without a trace, and then she was quickly lifted to the side of the road, and saw a burst of fire rushing to the sky, and then made a deafening sound.

"Ahh

Including Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis, several ladies let out frightened screams, looking at the sky-high fire and were frightened, losing their previous elegant and dignified image, and sat on the ground trembling in fear.

Jiang Yuanliu knew that it would scare them, after all, there was no gunpowder in this dynasty, and she still managed to get a little one, but she could only make firecrackers pitifully, and it was impossible to get a bomb.

However, the sound of the explosion was like earth-shattering thunder, and even Gu Jinshu was startled, so she detonated the firecrackers on her body after Qi Ruge went to the back mountain.

"Don't be afraid, ladies!" Jiang Yuanliu blocked several ladies behind him and comforted them loudly.

Because of Jiang Yuanliu in front, Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis slowly regained some composure, she stood up tremblingly with the support of the maid, and asked fearfully, "What is it?" ”

Although she recovered a little, she didn't dare to stick out her head to look, just now there was a shocking thunder, and then the flames soared into the sky, as if the unforgivable person was punished by the thunder mother.

"It's like something has been struck by lightning."

Jiang Yuanliu said paradoxically, Qing Qiguo believes in things with ghosts and gods very much, every household is dedicated to gods, and aristocratic families are even more keen on practicing meditation, and worshipping gods and Buddhas are very pious.

Thunder is a symbol of punishing the wicked in both Buddhism and Taoism, so Jiang Yuanliu lied that it was thunder and fire just now.

This frightened the ladies of the six gods and masters, and the Marquis of Xuanwu had good knowledge and an excellent heart, even so, seeing a large area of grass being burned black, she was also trembling.

"This ...... Why is this suddenly thundering on a sunny day? "Mrs. Xuanwu Hou was flustered, could it be that this divine thunder was coming at her? Could it be that the gods and Buddhas in the heavens knew that it was her who had done the crime, so they sent thunder from heaven to punish her?

In addition to the accident of Mrs. Xuanwu Houhou, the higher status here is the daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Rites, she is the daughter of a military general, and she is a little bolder, "This is the Huguo Temple, how can it be thunder and thunder for no reason?" Could it be that who did the evil? ”

"Don't ...... Don't talk nonsense, how can a woman like me attract the punishment of divine thunder for his heinous crimes! ”

Mrs. Xuanwu Hou has a weak heart, but it is naturally impossible to admit it, otherwise the reputation of the few people present will be ruined, even if it is a married woman, it is not a good thing to attract thunder and thunder, I am afraid it will become a stain on life.

Jiang Yuanliu's eyes flashed, and she pretended to hesitate and said, "Will this thunder be a reminder of Cangzhou?" I came to Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, isn't it just for the people of Cangzhou? ”

Hearing Jiang Yuanliu's reminder, several ladies nodded their heads, and the daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said, "Could it be that the gods are not satisfied with what we have done?" Could it be that we don't donate too much money? ”

"It must be that we didn't fill the merit box so that the gods and Buddhas came to remind us."

When Jiang Yuanliu heard that these ladies wanted to turn around and continue to fill the merit box with money, she hurriedly reminded: "There are countless people who are worried about the Cangzhou refugees who donate money, how can the gods and Buddhas be dissatisfied because they are missing." ”

"What Miss Jiang said is very reasonable, with what Miss Jiang has seen, why does this god warn with heavenly thunder?" A lady asked eagerly.

Jiang Yuanliu pretended to be a half-groan, bit his lip, and said as if he was a little embarrassed: "I always feel that this divine thunder is reminding us that it can't be so simple, ladies are generous for Cangzhou refugees, but the Zen monks of Huguo Temple are dedicated to cultivating Buddha, where is the time to rush to Cangzhou for disaster relief?" I'm afraid this money is ......"

Although Jiang Yuanliu didn't finish speaking, they were all official wives, and they had seen and heard a lot of things, and they all knew that this Cangzhou disaster, the people of Cangzhou were displaced, and the final rebellion was caused by Uncle Guo's greed for disaster relief food.

The monks in the Huguo Temple are all dedicated to the Buddha, and the number is not much, even if these monks want to go to Cangzhou for disaster relief, it is impossible, and he may not be able to end up with the money they donated.

They are all the housewives who are in charge of the house, and they also understand the twists and turns, and they can figure it out after a little thought, this day thunder is probably a warning from the gods and Buddhas, asking them to use the money in practice.

"Ladies, this may not be a good thing, wouldn't the gods and Buddhas show warning to prove that the gods and Buddhas in the sky are watching, if we exchange all the silver money for food, cloth and medicine and send them to Cangzhou, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter."

Jiang Yuanliu's words made several ladies have calculations in their hearts, each of them is a daughter of a family with a good status, there are houses and shops all over the Qingqi Kingdom, it is not difficult to send things to Cangzhou, a few bowls of rice can save a life, but it is a good thing to accumulate merit.

Mrs. Xuanwu Hou was skeptical that there was something wrong with this thunderstorm, but after thinking about it carefully, this was Huguo Temple, the premier temple in Qingqi Kingdom, and that demon dared to make trouble in Huguo Temple.

"Miss Jiang is really exquisite, you are right, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, the Zen monks in the temple are dedicated to worshiping the Buddha and do not ask about the world, how can we put the heavy responsibility on the Zen monks."

Jiang Yuanliu smiled shyly, "Where is my clever mind, it is the kindness of the ladies, the saint is worried about the disaster in Cangzhou, and we are doing our part for the Cangzhou refugees, and we are also sharing the worries for the saint." ”

If the accumulation of merit makes these ladies excited, after hearing the words of sharing worries for the saint, all of them have a bright eye, they are all rich in wealth, and they can use money to please the emperor, why not?

"I don't think it's too late to do this, it just so happens that there is a rice grain shop in my mother's marriage, and if I delay for a moment, I'm afraid that one life will be missing, and I won't go to see the Zen master."

The daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was straightforward and cheerful because she was a military general, so she directly said goodbye to a few ladies, her legs were not weak, her waist was not sore, and she hurriedly got into the carriage with the maid and rushed back to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu's Mansion.

Mrs. Xuanwu Hou looked at Jiang Yuanliu twice, and felt that the matter was too coincidental, but Jiang Yuanliu had a daughter who had not left the cabinet, and the Cangzhou disaster had nothing to do with Jiang Yuanliu, so she couldn't make a lot of trouble.
