Chapter 088: Yunlin Temple is Inappropriate (Monthly Pass Addition)
When he got home, Lin Jiaruo was startled as soon as he got out of the car.
Sun and Xu Yaoning were already waiting at the door, and even Mama Dou, the most powerful woman beside Old Madam Lin, came out, stretching her neck in anticipation.
Of course, Lin Jiaruo would not pretend to think that they were waiting for him, but he didn't expect this eldest aunt who fell from the sky to have such a high status at home.
"I haven't seen her for a few years, Ning Niang is getting younger and more beautiful, it's really jealous!" As soon as Lin Man got out of the car, he greeted and laughed with Xu Haoning affectionately.
Lin Jiaruo subconsciously looked at Sun, being ignored like this, Sun's face was full of embarrassment.
But Lin Man didn't ignore it very thoroughly, and after laughing with Xu Jiaoning for a few words, he still turned around and called Sun "second sister-in-law" with a smile, and refused to say half a word of extra words.
"Auntie and grandma are back, the old lady misses you every day, your Qingwan house is cleaned every day, and you can stay whenever you come......" It was Mama Dou who spoke next, she seemed to be very excited, and even wiped the corners of her eyes, looking at Lin Man's eyes was very respectful, but also loving.
Although Lin Man hasn't been home for a few years, he still looks like a master, grabbed Gan's arm, and said to Mama Dou with a smile: "I also miss my mother every day, so I bother Mama to put my cage down, I'll go to see my mother first!" ”
Mama Dou agreed.
When they saw Xia Yuxuan and Xia Chengcheng's brother and sister, everyone was amazed and praised again, and then they hugged Lin Man's mother and son to Ciyin Hall.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw Mrs. Lin standing at the door of the house waiting.
Lin Man hurriedly walked a few steps, threw herself into Mrs. Lin's arms, and called "Mother" coquettishly, vaguely looking like her daughter when she was not married.
Mrs. Lin hugged her, she was so distressed, she asked about the food, clothing, housing and transportation in Beijing from the hard work on the road, and she couldn't wait for Lin Man to tell everything that happened every day over the years, not to mention the three daughters-in-law, that is, Lin Shisheng and Lin Man's two children, all of whom were left aside.
Lin Jiaruo's attention was not on the conversation between the mother and daughter on a blind date over there, she was secretly looking at the new cousin Xia.
Just outside the city, the moment Xia Chengcheng appeared, he amazed the audience.
The five sisters of the Lin family, except for the fifth girl Lin Jiawei, who is not yet one year old, the second girl Lin Jiazhi is the best-looking, but compared with Xia Chengcheng, Lin Jiazhi seems to be not even worthy of lifting shoes for her.
Xia Chengcheng is still just a little girl who has not grown up, and she has already shown her stunning clues, and if Lin Jiaruo has counted the people she knows, she will be able to compare with her.
Why is it so pretty? Lin Jiaruo couldn't take his eyes off it, and was unexpectedly discovered by the other party, turned his face, and smiled at her coquettishly, laughing so that Lin Jiaruo was dizzy and couldn't stand steadily.
was suddenly supported by a strong big hand on his back, and then he heard Lin Shisheng speak: "Mother and eldest sister haven't seen each other for many years, naturally there are endless words, it's better to go in and sit down and talk about it, nephews and nieces have traveled a lot, but don't stand tired for a long time, and the children haven't seen their grandmother yet!" ”
Old Madam Lin suddenly realized, and hurriedly beckoned Xia Yuxuan and Xia Chengcheng into the house.
Lin Shisheng's hand on Lin Jiaruo's back was taken back, and he took her hand and walked to the house.
Mrs. Lin looked at her grandson, naturally it was very rare, she asked for warmth for a long time, and rewarded a lot of meeting gifts, and finally hugged Xia Tingcheng by her side to speak, and her love was overflowing.
This kind of drama of reuniting after a long absence actually sounds quite boring, but except for Gan's family who went down to prepare for the noon reception banquet, everyone else had to accompany and talk.
Lin Jiaruo had no choice but to admire Cousin Xia's beauty while listening to the adults' greetings casually.
"No way!" Lin Man's sudden shout shocked Lin Jiaruo back to his senses.
"Aren't the two of their uncles and nephews promoted, and their sons-in-law promoted, all of them worth celebrating?" Old Madam Lin asked with a frown.
"A happy event is a happy event!" Lin Man said with a serious expression, "But you'd better not go to Yunlin Temple again in the future!" ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Why?" Old Madam Lin hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong with Yunlin Temple?" ”
The Lin family will donate sesame oil money to Yunlin Temple every month, if there is really something wrong, it will be difficult to get out, just like when the traces of the rebels were found in the mountain behind Yunlin Temple.
Thinking of that incident, Old Madam Lin's face darkened, and she even glanced at Lin Jiaruo unconsciously.
But Yunlin Temple is a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River, and the abbot is the younger brother of the first emperor, and the major families in the south of the Yangtze River have a close relationship with the Yunlin Temple, what can be wrong?
Xu Yaoning also listened to it, and his heart tightened, it was exposed so quickly?
But what Lin Man said next made her breathe a sigh of relief: "There is nothing wrong with Yunlin Temple, but His Majesty is not a person who likes Buddha today!" ”
Lin Shisheng said disapprerovingly: "The Son of Heaven does not believe in religion, which is a great blessing for the country, but it doesn't matter if the people believe in Buddhism, right?" ”
Lin Man glared at him lightly and said, "You don't know if I didn't think anything before, or if my husband said it" Halfway through the words, he stopped abruptly.
His eyes swept over a group of children who were curiously waiting for her to continue, and said with a smile: "It's all about adults, let the children go down and play!" ”
Lin Jiaruo: ......
Why are they all like this? When it comes to the critical moment, it's time to drive people out!
No matter how slanderous Lin Jiaruo is, he has to go out obediently.
Xia Yuxuan didn't stay either, and Lin Jiaruo was a little puzzled: "Cousin Xia can't stay and listen?" "Xia Yuxuan and Lin Zhizhi are about the same age, and the affairs of the Lin family have long been hidden from Lin Zhizhi, and even many of them are Lin Zhizhi's ideas.
Xia Yuxuan smiled proudly: "I've heard my father say these things a long time ago, why bother listening to them again!" ”
Lin Jiaruo perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly leaned two steps to Xia Yuxuan's side, blinked his eyes, and asked softly, "Cousin Yuxuan, why doesn't the eldest aunt let us go to Yunlin Temple?" ”
The little cousin looked at Xia Yuxuan with a hint of admiration in her hope, and she said it without hesitation: "In March this year, the three religions of the Dialectical Conference, Buddhism overwhelmed Confucianism and Taoism, and at the same time, the reputation was greatly enhanced, but the emperor's heart was lost on September 1, when the great court meeting, the emperor sat down, and once again made Taoist priests, monks, and hundred officials distinguish the three religions in succession, this time, with Confucianism first, Taoism second, and Buddhism as the end!" ”
Lin Jialan and Lin Pingzhi were already thoughtful when they heard it, but Lin Jiaruo still didn't understand.
"What happens if you are at the bottom of the line? Didn't someone come in at the bottom of the list last time? Will there be a third one? ”
Xia Yuxuan shook his head: "My father said that if there is no result that His Majesty wants, there will be another game, but this time the result is already satisfactory to His Majesty, and there will be no third one!" ”
"The Golden Palace dialectic, Confucianism first, Taoism second, Buddhism ranked last, His Majesty rewarded all the officials who participated in the debate on the spot, and also named the whole Taoist of the Danding faction as the national teacher, only the disciples of Buddhism suffered from the cold."
"That's not all, there are monks in the hall, shouting dissatisfied, asking for a third debate, and being punished by His Majesty for great disrespect!"
Lin Jiaruo exclaimed, "It can't be Master Duyun, right?" ”
