Chapter 242: Meeting
The next day is the 15th day of the 10th lunar month.
Because Emperor Yongkang firmly believed in Taoism, and the origin of the Xia Yuan Festival was related to Taoism, so since Emperor Yongkang succeeded to the throne, the Xia Yuan Festival of Da Chu was lively every year.
Taoism has three officials, the heavenly official, the earth official, the water official, the heavenly official blessing, the earth official forgives sins, and the water official relieves misfortune. The next Yuan Festival is the day when the emperor of the water official solves the misfortune of the valley and relieves the misfortune for people.
On this day, the Taoist temple is a dojo, and the people worship the dead and pray for the lower Yuan water officials to solve their problems.
Since the death of Prince Su and Princess Hua Tong, the eldest lady Wang has suffered from gains and losses every day, and every morning when Hua Jin and others go to say hello, they all say that they dream of their daughter at night, and that Hua Tong's dead must not have been comforted.
The Wang family has only one son and one daughter, and now the white-haired person sends the black-haired person to lose his beloved daughter, and everyone can understand it.
coincided with the Xia Yuan Festival, and the Wang family naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to sacrifice the dead, so he took all the female relatives of the family to the Qingfeng Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.
The dojo of Qingfeng Temple is the largest among all the Taoist temples in Beijing, and naturally attracts many rich and noble families to worship.
When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, it could not go up again, so it could only go up the mountain on foot or in a soft sedan chair.
I don't want the daughter of the Zhang family to meet the Duchess of Lu Guo and her cousin Lu Dingxin in the middle of the mountain.
The fourth aunt and the Zhang family were not very close, so they greeted the Wang family a little and went up the mountain separately.
And cousin Lu Dingxin still likes her cousins very much, and she wants to go with her sisters to worship and play together.
It is not easy for Zhang's to give birth to these twin daughters, and he has always loved his daughter, and he will not make her unhappy in front of people.
So the two families gathered together and went up to the mountain together.
However, Hua Jin's attention was not far away, sitting on the soft sedan chair and wearing a very eye-piercing purple dress.
Her complexion is already dark, and with purple, her complexion is really a mess, which makes it difficult to explain.
However, the sedan chair was overturned just two days ago, and today she can make such a high-profile shining debut, this Feng Wu girl is really interested.
Retracting his gaze, Hua Jin saw Hua Rui hanging his head without saying a word.
Since the last time she came out of the palace, although Hua Rui couldn't make people see the joy and sorrow, she had returned to her former silent nature.
A few days ago, Qin Jian'an brought back news from Dezhou, saying that Aunt Tong ran away from Liuyunguan, and Hua Jin never told Hua Rui the news.
But where can Aunt Tong go after she runs out of Liuyunguan?
Hua Rui has not been out of the Hou Mansion these days, and if we meet today, it will be the best opportunity.
After thinking about it, the group had already come to Qingfeng Temple.
After getting off the soft sedan chair, Wang took a few girls to a side hall specially for pilgrims to rest under the guidance of the Taoist priest in Guanzhong. After purifying his hands and arranging his clothes, he went to the main hall to offer incense.
Burn three treasures of incense in front of the palace, and then enter the hall to worship the patriarch, kneel three times and knock nine times on the futon, and the Wang family donated a lot of merit incense money.
After the incense worship, everyone came to another large hall at the back of the main hall, which is the temple where the temple often performs dojo rituals, and the wide hall is already full of people.
Hua Jin saw Miss Feng Wu in purple clothes in the crowd at a glance, with a proud look on her face. I don't know where the confidence comes from.
Hua Jin retracted his gaze and saw that the process of this Taoist dojo was basically the same as the process of the Buddhist dojo that he had done for the old marquis for three years.
It's just that this one is in the Qingfeng Temple, and the dojo presided over by Daoist Song is even grander, and there are so many more believers.
When the dojo was over, the Wang family wanted to ask Daoist Song to do another small-scale undead transcendence ritual for Hua Tong alone.
Although the scale of Qingfeng Temple is very large, Princess Xiansu is also a relative of the emperor, and Song Daochang has no reason to disallow it, so he only said that he wants to rest for a while.
It's just that when Song Daochang discussed this matter with the Wang family, his eyes unconsciously fell on Hua Jin behind the Wang family.
Wang frowned slightly, cheered up and asked, "I don't know what else is going on?" ”
Song Daochang smiled calmly and mysteriously, "There is really no shortage of people in the donor's family. ”
Wang was a little puzzled when he heard it, and he wanted to ask something, but Daoist Song had already smiled, gave a Taoist salute, and turned back to the backyard.
Hua Jin only felt his heart skip a beat, what Song Daochang said was obviously her, could it be that the traverser could also be seen to be an outlier?
Hua Jin looked at the back of the long robe with wide sleeves fluttering like an immortal turning away, and couldn't help but think that the monk who did things in Texas had also said her life, as if it was called Yang Blade.
Could it be that this Song Heavenly Master also agrees with the abbot monk?
Fortunately, the Wang family has been in poor spirits recently, and their minds are not on this topic, so they didn't say anything more, and took a few girls to the Taoist room specially prepared for these noble ladies and dependents.
The fourth aunt, Zhang, planned to go down the mountain and return home at this time, but she couldn't resist Lu Dingxin's begging, so she also went with her.
And Hua Jin didn't take what Song Tianshi said to heart, thinking that this was the same as last time, and it couldn't make any waves in her life, so she quickly forgot it.
Today, Hua Jin paid all his attention to Hua Rui, wanting to find out if Aunt Tong had come to the capital.
Here, the Wang family and the Zhang family sat down to rest, and another maid boiled tea with the mountain spring water sent by the Taoist priests, and served tea to the masters.
It's just that she didn't finish drinking a cup of tea, so Hua Rui got up and went to the clean room with the maid forsythia next to her.
When Hua Rui got up to leave, Hua Jin hinted at Du Sanniang, and Du Sanniang, who had been instructed, quietly followed out.
If Aunt Tong really came to the capital, if she wanted to meet Hua Rui, today would be the best opportunity.
Although Aunt Tong was vicious that day, fortunately she did not cause any evil results, and she was a woman with all her heart, Hua Jin didn't want to worry about her anymore. But if she is really with Hua Wei, she has to guard against it.
When the seventh girl got into the carriage and left the Zhang family, her eyes were full of monstrous hatred, but the little girl, who was only seven or eight years old, could always be reminded of the poisonous snake spitting letters.
More than two teas passed, and Du Sanniang returned to the Taoist room and nodded slightly at Hua Jin.
Hua Jin bowed his head, and after about half a cup of tea, he got up from the chair and took Du Sanniang out.
"The fifth girl, Aunt Tong and the sixth girl met in a pavilion on a rockery in Guanzhong. Aunt Tong Qiao Zhuang became an ordinary woman, holding a child in her hand. And when talking to the six girls, it is also very natural, and ordinary people can't see the clues. ”
