Chapter 156: Shangxiang (Second Update)

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Mingyue changed into a plain dress, and the jewelry was also better, her face was not powdered, and she looked even more sallow and lovable, she took the maidservant to the gate of the mansion, where a carriage was already waiting for her.

Just went out, Gu Mingyue was taken aback, the carriage parked in front of the mansion was not the oil-walled car she was used to sitting in, but the Cuiwu Tongyuan car in the East Mansion, which was used by Gu Mingzhu in the past, why is it with her today?

She was surprised and was about to ask, but she heard the servant woman who was waiting in the car bent her knees and said, "The eldest lady heard that the second lady was going to Miaoyin Guan Shangxiang to pray for the old lady and the lady, so she instructed the maid and the others to send the second lady with this carriage." ”

"The eldest lady said, the second lady is filial, this carriage rides smoothly and properly, and the lady will not be wronged."

Gu Mingyue was stunned, a grateful smile appeared on her face, and she thanked the servant woman gently: "Come back and thank the eldest lady for me, let her bother." ”

She looked at the carriage, and finally took the maidservant into the carriage, and told the coachman to go to the Miaoyinguan on the west side of the city.

Miaoyin View is in a remote Shifang Hutong in the west of Chang'an City, compared to those treasure temple fame, just a small Guanyu, in the noisy market, not even half of the fairy spirit.

However, the incense of this view of the universe is extremely prosperous, many believers come early, just to rush to grab the incense on the head when the door of the Miaoyin Temple opens, it is said that this view of the universe and its effect, the host of the temple is really proficient in magic, but if she can get the practice, she can get her wish, so the believers come like a cloud.

Gu Mingyue got off the carriage far away in the city, and the road in front of her had been blocked by the believers surrounding the Taoist temple, so she could only wear a hat, hold the hand of the personal maid, and take a few servants towards Miaoyinguan.

The servant woman who was waiting with the carriage watched her lead people to Miaoyinguan, her eyes flashed slightly, and she whispered a few words, the coachman of the carriage nodded, drove the carriage to the side of the intersection and stopped, but the servant woman bent down and walked into the crowd, following Gu Mingyue and a few people from a distance.

After the servant stuffed some money and silver to the Taoist boy who was guarding the door, Gu Mingyue was escorted by the servant and stepped into Miaoyinguan, and the servant woman who followed closely was busy thinking about it, and followed in.

The temple is not big, only a small Yuanjun hall and two side halls, but there are some unknown gods and statues, and there are only a few elderly female crowns wearing coarse sermon robes, sitting lazily under the front porch of the hall with scriptures and napping, ignoring the pilgrims who are pious to the incense and kowtowing.

Gu Mingyue took the maid into the Yuanjun Palace, and the servant woman followed from a distance, hiding under the corridor and looking into the hall, according to Mama Han's instructions, she must see clearly what the second lady did when she came to this wonderful sound view.

It's just that Gu Mingyue entered the Yuanjun Hall with a respectful expression, bowed down on the futon in front of the statue of the god, and kowtowed reverently. When she stood upright, she folded her hands and closed her eyes in prayer, and looked at the idol with awe, and then she got up and took the lighted incense and candle from the handmaiden's hand and offered it.

Seeing that it was really incense, the servant woman tilted her head in confusion, so why did Mama Han follow her to take a look, what was there to worry about?

She was thinking about it, and saw Gu Mingyue take the sign from the older female crown on the side, she shook one out with her own hand and handed it to the female crown, and said a few more words, and then followed the female crown towards the inner hall.

Is this going to unsign?

The servant woman didn't have time to follow, so she had already seen that Gu Mingyue had already entered the inner hall with the maidservant, and the door of the inner hall was also closed, and she couldn't follow up anymore, so she could only quietly withdraw from Miaoyinguan and go back to the carriage to wait.

By the time Gu Mingyue came out of Miaoyinguan, it was already half an hour later.

After getting into the carriage and taking off her hat, her eyes were red, and she looked frightened, leaning weakly against the wall of the carriage, and weakly instructed the maidservant: "Go back to the house quickly, I have something important to report to the old lady." ”

The servant woman followed the carriage, listened to her words clearly, and followed the carriage back without saying a word.

It was only when the carriage entered the mouth of Shifang Hutong, but it was stopped and had to stop.

Gu Mingyue was leaning on the soft pillow thinking about her thoughts, when she saw that the carriage listened, she raised her eyes and looked at the maid beside her, and the maid hurriedly opened the curtain and asked the servant woman who was with the car: "What's the matter, why did you stop?" ”

The servant woman looked at it and came back to reply: "It's a car in front of Huo Duwei's Mansion next door that somehow broke down and blocked the road, I'm afraid I can't drive over." ”

In this market, there are not only the Gu family of the Hussar General's Mansion, but also the residences of several ministers of the DPRK and China, and they often walked around in the past.

Gu Mingyue couldn't help frowning, she was in a hurry to go back to the house to see the old lady, she really couldn't delay here.

She said to her maidservant, "Go and see when you can pass." ”

The maid got out of the carriage with her skirt, followed the servant woman to look at it for a while, and then came back and replied: "The carriage is broken, and there are many objects on the carriage, and I am afraid that it will not be repaired for a while." ”

There are a lot of brocade boxes piled up on the carriage, it looks like a valuable thing, but it is broken in front of the Huofu gate at the entrance of the Shifang Hutong, the alley is blocked, the coachman complains bitterly, provokes a lot of people to watch, and even these few noble houses have people come out to investigate, it is really impossible to pass the car.

Gu Mingyue's face was a little gloomy, this was really unfortunate, just in time for it.

"That's it, it's not far from the house, you guys go back to the house with me first, let the coachman and the mother-in-law who follow the car stay, and when the road is opened, it's not too late for them to go back." Gu Mingyue is decisive after all, and she will not delay her business for such a trivial matter.

The maidservant put a hood on her and helped her out of the carriage.

was arranging her dress, and when she was about to walk forward, she heard someone on the side greet her attentively: "Lady Gu, where did you come from?" ”

It is the fifth lady of Huo Mansion, the fifth daughter-in-law of Huo Lao Duwei, and she used to walk around with the Gu family, Huo Wulang received an idle position, she has always had nothing to do in the mansion, and she is the most good thing.

She had just seen the Cuiwu Tongyuan car in the East Mansion of the Great General's Mansion from afar, just as Gu Mingzhu came back from outside, the rumors of the Gu family had been spreading in Chang'an Guifu in the past two days, how could she not know.

She saw a young lady wearing a hood getting down from the carriage, it was Gu Mingzhu, and she stepped forward to greet with a smile on her face, thinking that she would say hello and try to find out.

But when the man stopped, lifted a little hat and looked back at her, he surprised her: "Why is the second lady?" ”

Everyone on the side also followed her words and looked at Gu Mingyue's side.

Gu Mingyue was a little puzzled, and was about to speak, but she heard Fifth Lady Huo pointing to the carriageway not far away: "Isn't that the carriage of Mrs. Gu?" How can the second lady ......"

Her voice stopped suddenly, but the gaze that looked at Gu Mingyue again had something else.

Gu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bent her knees to Fifth Lady Huo and whispered, "Fifth Lady, I just came back from Miaoyinguan Shangxiang and borrowed the eldest sister's car. ”

Borrowing a seat? Mrs. Huo raised her eyebrows, not necessarily.
