"The queen mother asked about Huo Jiang's daughter?"

In King Qing's mansion, King Qing looked at the comer.

"The Queen Mother praised the dim sum of Yongji Temple for doing well, and I heard that it was taught by Huo Jiang's daughter, and asked a few words with interest." The person who came said.

King Qing frowned: "Huo Jiang...... The king is about to forget him. ”

"After Huo Jiang's wife died of illness, this daughter is said to have been raised outside, and now that she is getting older, she will be brought back to the capital."

King Qing bowed his head, slightly surprised, Huo Jiang had been silent for so many years, but he came out at this time.

He said, "Then let the Queen Mother meet this Miss Huo."

He turned the white jade wrench on his thumb, his gaze wandering.

Someone in the Queen Mother's ears mentioned Yongji Temple, mentioning the dim sum of Yongji Temple, and after the news of Guo Yong's intervention in the case of Pengcheng Bofu came, the Queen Mother said coldly to Ouyang Mama: "The mourning family wants to see who will reverse black and white in this matter, but I didn't expect that it would be Guo Shoufu, who has always been known for his integrity and strictness." ”

Ouyang Mama said: "The Queen Mother has actually thought of it a long time ago, but the Queen Mother is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see this." ”

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh and said faintly: "Forget it, this is fate." Talk to Yongji Temple, the mourning family is going to burn incense to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and by the way, taste their new dim sum. ”

When the first assistant of the dynasty personally took action, how dare Shuntianfu slack off, and the next day he took away Ma Taixing, the big treasurer of the Yongfeng Beijing branch.

Ma Taixing was connected to the Wine and Vinegar Bureau, so the people of the Shen Criminal Division also detained several eunuchs from the Wine and Vinegar Bureau.

This matter spread all over the capital in an instant, and the common people talked about it, the queen killed her brother and daughter-in-law, and Shuntianfu captured the people of Yongfeng. Secretly, there are those who scold the queen, and there are those who scold Shuntianfu, but no one scolds Guo Yong, because they don't know the role that Guo Yong played in this matter.

The Queen Mother quietly went to Yongji Temple with a green cloth sedan chair, which was simple and unpretentious, and it was not noticeable at all.

The abbot of Yongji Temple had already received news that when the Queen Mother arrived at Yongji Temple, there were no other pilgrims in the temple.

The queen mother didn't like it, and said to the abbot: "The mourning family didn't let it out, because they didn't want to disturb the people, but you didn't let other pilgrims in, but you still disturbed it." ”

The abbot immediately understood, and when the queen mother finished offering incense, he hurriedly asked people to open the two side doors of Yongji Temple.

Today is the first day of the new year, a large number of pilgrims have already gathered outside the mountain gate, they have been waiting for a long time, now see the side door opened, everyone did not dare to be idle, you fight for me to rush into the temple, not to a moment, the temple that was still deserted suddenly lively.

The vegetarian food of Yongji Temple is famous, and those who come to Shangxiang must have eaten vegetarian food, and then buy a few packs of snacks that Yongji Temple has offered in front of the Bodhisattva statue, and then they will go home satisfied.

The Queen Mother sat on the futon, listened to the lecture of the most respected master Huiqing of Yongji Temple, and after listening to the scriptures, she returned to the dormitory, and there were already a few snacks of Yongji Temple on the kang table.

The eunuchs tried in turn, and the queen mother picked up a piece of shortbread made into a lotus, looked at it for a moment, and said to the abbot: "In the past, the dim sum of Yongji Temple would not be made into a lotus, I think this is what the Huo girl taught you, it is rare that you are willing to listen to a girl." ”

The abbot said warmly: "Amitabha, Queen Mother Mingjian, this is indeed Miss Huo taught to the small temple, Miss Huo is proficient in Buddhist scriptures, every snack is related to Buddhist scriptures, last month, Miss Huo personally made nine pieces of Buddha fruits, enshrined in front of the Bodhisattva seat, and the rice noodles used in these Buddha fruits were recruited by Miss Huo in the capital to pick up nine benevolent people. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her brows moved slightly, and she said to the abbot: "A little girl, it's rare to have such thoughts. ”

She said to the eunuch who followed: "Go and pass this Huo girl over, and the mourning family wants to see her." ”

The abbot clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, Miss Huo has a relationship with the Buddha, on the first day of the new year today, Miss Huo came over early in the morning and was making Buddha fruit in the fragrant soup kitchen, and the poor monk asked people to invite her over." ”

Hearing that Huo Sijin was in the temple, the Queen Mother was not surprised at all, she smiled slightly, such intentions, if she was not in the temple at this time, it would be strange.

After a while, the master of the temple personally led a young girl into the dormitory.

She lowered her eyebrows and followed behind the temple, although it was not court etiquette, but her every move was calm.

The Queen Mother beckoned to her: "Come closer, let the mourning family take a look." ”

Huo Sijin walked closer, raised her face slightly, the Queen Mother looked at her carefully, and saw that Huo Sijin was eleven or twelve years old at most, like a green willow, slender and weak, not a first-class beauty, but also a beauty, melon seed face, a pair of red phoenix eyes under the thin willow eyebrows, and a small red mole at the corner of her eye, which added a bit of charm to her slightly plain facial features.

The Queen Mother bowed: "The mourning family heard that Mrs. Huo in the past was a talented and good-looking person, and your appearance is not like Huo Jiang, so I think I followed Mrs. Huo." ”

Huo Sijin lightly opened her lips: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the courtiers have been discouraged since childhood, and later grew up in the nunnery, and they have never seen their mothers, but they have also heard the nurse talk about it, saying that the courtiers are with their mothers." ”

"Oh, you grew up in the nunnery, why didn't you stay at home?" The Queen Mother said strangely.

Huo Sijin said softly: "As soon as the courtier was born, the mother died, and the mother pleaded with the father when she was dying, if people knew that she went because she gave birth to a courtier, outsiders would definitely give the courtiers the reputation of the mother, so they asked the father not to mention this matter to the outside world, and when the courtiers were just one year old, they sent the courtiers to Wuxi Wanhua Temple, and the father built a nunnery in the mountains behind the Wanhua Temple, and the courtiers grew up there since childhood. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was surprised, no wonder she didn't hear that Huo Jiang had a daughter, and she was sent to the nunnery since she was a child.

This Huo Jiang always acts unexpectedly, let's just talk about it, he sent his daughter, who had just turned one year old, to Wanhua Temple thousands of miles away, which can be described as ruthless, but because of his wife's dying entrustment, not only can he not be blamed, but it is even more sad.

Mrs. Huo's last words are something that every mother will worry about, and what Huo Jiang did is something that every father has to do.

The Queen Mother sighed: "The mourning family really didn't expect that Huo Jiang would let his daughter live in the nunnery for more than ten years, you have lived for more than ten years, right?" ”

Huo Sijin didn't look up, but replied softly: "The courtiers have lived in the nunnery for ten years, five months and three days. ”

Accurate to every day, I think she must be looking forward to going home every day.

"Are you homesick?" The Queen Mother asked.

"I think that when the courtiers were a little sensible, they would draw a bamboo leaf on the wall every day, and when the courtiers left the nunnery, the walls of the nunnery were already covered with bamboo leaves. The courtiers didn't know how long they would live alone in the nunnery, so every time they painted a bamboo leaf, they would pray to the Bodhisattva for mercy, so that they could see their father and brother as soon as possible......"
