Jiang Yuanliu naturally noticed the questioning eyes of Mrs. Xuanwu Houhou, she lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be frightened by the heavenly thunder just now, trembling slightly, pretending to be very vivid.

She really doesn't care about being suspected, because no one can imagine that the heavenly thunder is made, and even if someone doubts, they will think that it was a priest who recruited the heavenly thunder, and she is a woman who grew up in the countryside, and she will never be suspicious.

Although Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis also wanted to go home immediately to prepare money, food and medicine to send to Cangzhou, and seek a good image in front of the emperor, Xuanwu Marquis and her unwillingness to participate in political affairs to the outside world would definitely be suspected if they were too eager now, so they could only be patient and continue to go to the Zen master to preach the scriptures.

But after seeing the Zen master, Mrs. Xuanwu Hou couldn't sit still, so she couldn't help but ask the Zen master what to do with the gold, silver and jewelry they donated to the merit box?

The Zen master who preached for Mrs. Xuanwu Hou was a disciple of the abbot, and he thought for a moment and said: "The monks in the Huguo Temple are devoted to the Buddha and do not understand popular things, and these donations will be properly handled by lay disciples."

Mrs. Xuanwu Hou Hou took a breath of cool air, this so-called lay disciple is some of the children of the family who have been named in the Huguo Temple, as Mrs. Xuanwu Hou Hou, she more or less knows that these children of the family are not good at stubble.

In the past, when the money was donated, she was donated, but after putting it in the merit box, she didn't bother to think about how to use it, even if it went into the pocket of a greedy person, she was out of sight and out of mind, and she didn't want to meddle in things.

But the sudden explosion of thunder on a sunny day just now, and the sky-high fire, made her realize that she could not pray to the gods at all.

"That's exactly what happened." Xuanwu Hou Hou's face is not good, although there is no shortage of gold and silver in the Hou Mansion, but no one's money is blown by the wind, she is willing to throw the gold and silver jewelry in the water to listen to the sound, that is also her business.

However, the money she donated to the merit box was taken away by others, and no one in the world can guarantee whether it was used on the table or not.

"Miss Jiang, I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll go home first." Mrs. Xuanwu Hou Hou covered her chest and made an uncomfortable appearance, she wanted to go back to her house quickly, and she didn't want to stay in Huguo Temple for a moment.

"I learned medical skills with Xiangye Lang in my early years, and I came to check my wife's pulse?" Jiang Yuanliu made a very concerned expression, and as he spoke, he was about to reach out and step forward to check the pulse of Mrs. Xuanwu Houhou.

Mrs. Xuanwu Hou was naturally reluctant to let Jiang Yuanliu give him a pulse, after all, his discomfort was faked, she just didn't want to be robbed of the opportunity by others, not to mention her own money, and she was also harmed by others.

She really wanted to question why Huguo Temple didn't properly handle the donations, but Huguo Temple was reused by the royal family, and the old man lived in Huguo Temple for cultivation, how dare she question it, she could only swallow the bitter water into her stomach.

"Ahem, I'm all sick, just go home and recuperate for a while." Mrs. Xuanwu Hou reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled.

Jiang Yuanliu knew what Mrs. Xuanwu Hou wanted to do, and her purpose was for this, but she couldn't see Xuanwu Hou and his wife in front of each other behind their backs, so they deliberately ridiculed them, and naturally they would not stop Mrs. Xuanwu Hou from going back.

The first step of the plan was implemented very smoothly, and Qing Qiguo was the only one in the country who had seen the artificially created heavenly thunder except for her, so no one would suspect him, and they all regarded this sudden heavenly thunder as a warning to the gods and Buddhas.

"Second Miss, the eldest lady invites you to the prayer pool." Cui'er ran over and said to Jiang Yuanliu.

Jiang Yuanliu's purpose today is to coax a few ladies with good status to donate food and medicine to Cangzhou refugees, and the purpose has been achieved, so naturally there is no need to play with those daughters.

Cui'er said worriedly: "Those daughters seem to be very dissatisfied with the eldest lady, and they deliberately make things difficult. ”

"What does it have to do with me? Don't meddle in things. Jiang Yuanliu squinted her eyes, although she would not retaliate against a pregnant woman, she could not do anything to repay her grievances with virtue.

Cui'er hesitated again and again, and said: "Those daughters talk about you behind your back, and their words are extremely ugly, and the eldest lady argues with them, so it has caused public anger. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanliu suddenly became interested, didn't she think that Qi Ruge was kind-hearted, and with Qi Ruge's means of combining the right and left, how could she offend the daughters of the family for her?

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

There was a thoughtful smile on the corner of Jiang Yuanliu's mouth, and she wanted to go over to see what tricks Qi Ruge was playing.

There were already a lot of young ladies standing around the prayer pool, and when they saw Jiang Yuanliu's eyes turned around, there seemed to be some surprise in their eyes, and more jealousy.

Today I came to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings, Jiang Yuanliu naturally couldn't wear too showy, but she herself was always suitable for heavy makeup and light makeup, wearing plain clothes, and a jade hairpin was sticky to her waist-length hair.

The mist was filled with the mountains, and Jiang Yuanliu walked slowly, with two frenulas fluttering on his side, like a fairy walking.

The people who followed Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis to participate in the blessing were either related to the family or befriended her, and most of them were the daughters of civil officials, so they naturally looked down on Jiang Yuanliu, a military general.

"Isn't this an alternative and lonely Miss Jiang? But is Zen Master Yu finished? ”

The nobles in the capital are all distinct, the civil officials and the descendants of the civil officials' families are together, and the military generals play with the military generals' families, Qi Ruge is nominally the daughter of the protector of the country, if it weren't for the talent, it would be impossible to join the small group of civil officials.

Jiang Yuanliu's behavior was rude in the rumors, so naturally he didn't agree with the daughters of these civil officials, and it seemed out of place when he intervened.

It was the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who spoke, and she knew the dispute between Jiang Yuanliu and her brother, so she spoke very politely, and her eyes were very unkind when she looked at Jiang Yuanliu.

"Shuwan, don't say that, Yuanliu is here to find me." Qi Ruge was weak and weakly stopped, but was pulled by Guan Shuwan.

"Sister Ruge, what's wrong with what I said? We all came to the prayer pool to make a wish, but Jiang Yuanliu wanted to listen to the Zen master's lecture, and I don't know if Miss Jiang, who doesn't know a few big characters, can understand it? Guan Shuwan's eyes were defiant.

Jiang Yuanliu raised his eyebrows, but only smiled back faintly, and didn't seem to take Guan Shuwan's provocation seriously at all.

"You...... Don't think that you can pretend to be as generous as Sister Ge by pretending to be like Sister Ge, Dong Shi is following suit, do you know? You don't pretend to be like it at all. Guan Shuwan was angry, she felt that Jiang Yuanliu's smile seemed to be scolding her for not being able to do anything.

Jiang Yuanliu glanced at Guan Shuwan, and when she saw the arrogance on her face, she couldn't help frowning slightly, "Why don't you let me scold you in public?" ”

"You...... You, you ......" Guan Shuwan was choked by Jiang Yuanliu's words, and she didn't know what to do.

Jiang Yuanliu glanced at Qi Ruge up and down, there seemed to be a sense of exploration in his eyes, Qi Ruge naturally noticed his gaze, raised his eyes, and looked at Jiang Yuanliu softly and weakly.

"Qi Ruge, if this is your friend, take her to avoid me quickly, after all, I am a wild girl who grew up in the countryside, she can't scold me when it comes to scolding, if she is reasonable, she may need to go home and ask her parents for advice." Jiang Yuanliu said without being salty or light,

Guan Shuwan naturally heard that Jiang Yuanliu was scolding her for being uneducated, and her face was pale with anger.

The other nobles all covered their lips and snickered, seeing that Guan Shuwan's face was not good, they all found excuses to leave, they were not unwilling to fight, but Guan Shuwan's name and personality were completely opposite, and as soon as her hot temper came up, no matter who she was, she would suffer.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Qi Ruge's eyes flickered, and then he whispered to Guan Shuwan: "Shuwan, you don't have to argue with her, we are not her opponents." ”

Guan Shuwan has always been competitive, so she naturally didn't want to let go of Jiang Yuanliu, but she couldn't scold her, so she stomped her feet angrily.

Qi Ruge pretended to stop Guan Shuwan, blocked Guan Shuwan behind her, and then pulled Jiang Yuanliu's hand and shouted: "Sister, don't, Shuwan is just a child's temper, how can you beat someone!" ”

As he spoke, Qi Ruge pushed Jiang Yuanliu into the prayer pool, but found that Jiang Yuanliu did not move at all, but stared at her with cold eyes, as if he had already seen through her tricks.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Jiang Yuanliu's eyes were cold, and his tone was gloomy.

She knew that Qi Ruge didn't really want her to come to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings, but she didn't expect Qi Ruge to want to push him into the river, if he hadn't been practicing diligently, he might have been pushed into the prayer pool at this time.

Now it is late autumn, the mountains are cold, the water of this prayer pond is poured into the mountain spring, cold to the bone, and there is no focus point around, it is not easy to climb up by yourself after falling.

In an era when the wind and cold can be fatal, the woman is transferred into the prayer pool, and she can't climb up for a long time, and after being fished up, whether she can have a life or live is not certain.

"Qi Ruge, have you learned to repay virtue with grievances over the years?" Jiang Yuanliu asked coldly.

Hearing Jiang Yuanliu's gloomy tone, Qi Ruge was scared, because she lost her mind, and when she felt a strong force coming from behind, she had already fallen into the prayer pool.

After Guan Shuwan succeeded, she screamed sharply, "Ah! Jiang Yuanliu, you vicious woman, you actually pushed Sister Ruge into the water! ”

"Help! Come and save people! Guan Shuwan shouted loudly, and the nobles who were watching them not far away all ran over, and someone saw Guan Shuwan trembling blindly, and kindly hugged Guan Shuwan.

But Jiang Yuanliu saw Guan Shuwan's triumphant expression.

Hearing the sound of crying for help, some monks ran over, but it was Miss Qianjin who fell into the water, and these monks did not dare to jump into the water to save people.

Qi Ruge fluttered in the water, unable to climb up at all, Jiang Yuanliu's eyes deepened, she couldn't die in front of her, so she shouted loudly: "Go find a wooden basin!" ”

After speaking, Jiang Yuanliu jumped off the prayer pool without hesitation.
