Chapter 62 Qining Temple Blessing (I)

Now that He Jiaqing has been promised, the post inviting the eldest princess of Zhaoning and the young lady of the Liu family, Liu Yanling, needs to be sent to the Sui'an Bo Mansion as soon as possible. You must know that the ladies and ladies of Daxuan, every year on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, they begin to be busy with the New Year's affairs, and there is no time to go out to pray for blessings, so the invitation is sent along with the Laba porridge in return.

The reply from the Sui Anbo Mansion was also very fast, and the content was probably that although the eldest princess of Zhaoning usually did not have much communication with Mrs. Gong Changbo, she liked Mrs. Gong Changbo's way of doing things very much, so she was able to receive an invitation from Gongchangbo's mansion, and she would definitely be happy to go to the appointment.

The time is set on the twelfth day of the lunar month, and the location is the Qining Temple where the noblewomen and nobles of the capital of the Great Xuan Emperor often go when they pray for blessings and incense.

There is also a reason why Qining Temple can become a temple that noblewomen and ladies love to go to pray for blessings, when the Tai/Zu/Emperor unveiled the rod and rose to fight the country, his mother was the first Empress Dowager of Daxuan, knowing that her son was going to work hard was a big matter, and she couldn't help anything, so she went to an inconspicuous small temple on the outskirts of Beijing to lead the practice, reciting Buddha and praying for the safety of her son. Later, Emperor Taizu succeeded in his great cause, so he took the Empress Dowager Cihui out of the temple, because when she was in the temple. The Queen Mother's legal title is Cihui, and the Queen Mother herself doesn't want to change it, and the later title is the Queen Mother Cihui.

The Empress Dowager thought that Emperor Taizu was able to conquer this country, and the blessing of the gods and Buddhas in this inconspicuous small temple was of great help. Emperor Taizu specially built the Cihui Palace for the Queen Mother to enjoy her old age, and according to the Queen Mother's wishes, he renovated the small temple and named it Qining Temple.

He Chang'an was a palace maid in his last life, and he was locked in the boxy imperial city, although he was reborn in this life, but there are many rules for high-ranking nobles, she was reborn until now, went to the Zhaoxing Princess Mansion once, and had the experience of entering the palace for a banquet. Therefore, to have such an opportunity to go out to incense, and also shoulder the heavy responsibility of seeing his brother's future sister-in-law, He Changan felt excited when he thought about it.

On the twelfth day of the lunar month, He Changan got up early, urging Biluo to help him prepare the things needed to go to the temple to incense, Biluo couldn't cry or laugh, He Changan had already begun to urge the night before, she saw that her young lady was rare to be so concerned about something, and she still attached great importance to it, and she had prepared well early.

"Miss is really, what kind of personal things can be more important than Miss herself, you know, the eldest young master has something to do with Miss today. The slave maid has heard that the young lady of the Liu family may become a young grandmother in the future, but the young lady has to take a closer look and get along with the young lady of the Liu family. Not to mention it from afar, the slave maid knew that Mama Yang's youngest daughter, Sister Fangjie, and Mama Yang's eldest daughter-in-law, Sister Tidbit, who was in charge of things, had a very good relationship, and what reward did the tidbits get, they always sent it to Sister Fangjie at every turn. So, Miss just dress up well, and it's enough to put on incense today. ”

Because the old lady of Gongchangbo was too old to go out because it was cold, so the ladies in the house were only left with Bai's He Chang'an and He Wang'an, so it was the largest and most gorgeous carriage of Gongchangbo's mansion that the three of them sat together.

In the past, when He Wang'an went out, he could only sit in his aunt's car, but now that Aunt Ge is grounded, she also has to rely on her mother-in-law, but she still shrank in the corner of the carriage of Gongchangbo's mansion in a low voice, not daring to speak, even Bai occasionally asked her something, and the voice of the answer was like a mosquito humming.

He Changan took out a pack of dim sum from the food box prepared in the car, took out a piece and handed it to Bai: "My mother got up early today, because it is a big deal to go out to Qining Temple to pray for blessings this time. ”

Bai Shi took a bite in his mouth and smiled: "This is Biluo's craftsmanship, now this girl is becoming more and more stylish." ”

In fact, the Bai family is also comfortable in her heart, in the early years, He Chang'an was not in good health, it was difficult to be able to take care of herself, she was begging for a life with the Liu family, it was not easy, she carefully cultivated the two girls of the fine rui branch, she had long expected that the Liu family would suppress He Changan in every way in order to make He Changan inferior to He Ping'an, and replacing the personal girl was a common means of the Liu family, so she trained the fine stamen and the branches well, and just waited for He Chang'an to be the wedding girl on the day she got married.

But he didn't expect that the Liu family did send away the two original stable sons around He Changan because of He Chang'an's falling into the water, but He Changan, who woke up after falling into the water, was much smarter than before, that is, the Biluo silver needle that had never seen the world was bought from the hands of people outside, and now it was also cleaned up by her, and it was no worse than the children in Gongchangbo's mansion.

I thought to myself, I can have a good worship when I go to Qining Temple today, first, to thank the gods and Buddhas for letting his daughter be reborn, and secondly, to pray that He Jiaqing can marry a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law.

Biluo smiled: "That's why Miss wants to give this pastry to Mrs. for use, so God favors Miss for this piece of filial piety, so that the pastry made by the slave maid is particularly delicious, and the slave and maid thank Mrs. for her praise." ”

The little girl who accompanied He Wang'an looked good, but a pair of big eyes kept looking around, as if she was looking at the car, but her eyes couldn't stop glancing at Bai and He Chang'an, and when she saw Biluo getting Bai's praise, she couldn't hold it back, and she didn't know what she said in He Wang'an's ear, so she saw He Wang'an's face red, and she slowly took out an oily paper bag from the placket of her coat, and said hesitantly: "Mother, this is my ...... This is what Wang'an learned to do for his mother, but he didn't do it well, and his mother ......"

Bai Shi looked at He Wang'an and took the oily paper bag: "Okay, you already know your intentions, let's put it here first." ”

When He Changan saw it, his heart was a little sour, and he decided to promote He Wang'an as his concubine, in order to suppress Aunt Ge's arrogance and not to remember his cousin as a concubine, but his mother didn't hate this concubine very much, but once she became a concubine, then He Chang'an was no longer the only concubine in Gongchangbo's mansion, which determined that the Bai family could no longer like He Wang'an.

Lala He Wang'an's hand: "Sister doesn't need to be so nervous, my mother is the best person to talk to." ”

He Wang'an hummed in a low voice and stopped talking.

The road in the imperial capital is still very flat, and the carriage runs unhindered on it, but when you reach the suburbs of Beijing, the road begins to become difficult, because the official roads in the suburbs of Beijing are built in the farmland on both sides, and when the farmers water and irrigate, it is inevitable that they will wash the official roads. It's winter, there are no crops in the farmland, and the farmland on both sides of the official road is covered with thick snow, and when the sun shines enough, the snow will melt a little, and the snow water will drip on the official road, making the official road rugged and muddy. But He Changan's mood was not ruined by the bumps and mud at all.

After going out for about an hour and a half, the carriage finally drove to the outside of Qining Temple, and a teacher who looked a little older came out to greet her, Bai Shi glanced at her, and a smile overflowed on her face: "Mo Ru Shitai, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

On the other hand, he pulled He Chang'an to the side: "Chang'an, haven't you seen Mrs. Mo Ru?"

He Changan looked at this Mo Ru Shitai, although she was only wearing a simple cloth robe, and her eyebrows were slightly white, it could be seen that she was a little older, but these could not hide the love on her face.

Slightly bowed and saluted: "Little girl He Chang'an, I have seen Mrs. Shi." ”

Mrs. Mo Ru looked at He Changan with a smile, took out a gold-inlaid jade plate from the pocket of the cloth robe and hung it on He Changan's body: "Okay, okay! In a blink of an eye, Zhenniang's daughters are so old, although I have never seen you as a girl before, but on this side, I feel that you are a great creation, which was opened before the Buddha, and you can keep safe with it." ”

He Changan was not hypocritical, and thanked him crisply.

Mrs. Shi said again: "The eldest princess and Miss Liu have been waiting in the temple, the eldest princess was waiting for Mrs. and Miss at the gate of the temple, but the old man felt that it was freezing outside, and I heard that Miss Liu was still lying on the sickbed for more than a month in order to serve the eldest princess a while ago, and it would be bad if she suffered from the cold again." What's more, the eldest princess also brought Her Royal Highness the eldest princess with her, so the eldest princess can't take Miss Liu and wait outside the door, and the eldest princess is wandering around the temple alone, isn't it?"

Bai Shi smiled: "Our mother is late, it was ours in the first place, how can we let the eldest princess and the eldest princess wait outside? ”

Mo Ru Shitai didn't dare again: "Although it is said that Buddhism is a quiet place, most of the pilgrims in Qining Temple are royal nobles or dignitaries, and the old man knows a little bit about the affairs of the royal family." I heard that the lady of your mansion was assigned by the saint to marry the son of Princess Zhaocheng's family, but now it seems that your mansion is about to be double happy. ”

Bai Shi smiled silently
