Gokokuji Temple located in the northwest of Shinkyo.

Jia Qiong was taking her mother and sister, as well as the mandarin duck and the parrot, and the five of them were walking slowly with the flow of people.

Today is the birthday of Guanyin, and there are many people who come to burn incense and worship the Buddha, including commoners, wealthy merchants, and dignitaries, all walking on foot.

Looking back at the bottom of the steps, I saw a crowd of people, rubbing shoulders one after another.

"Master, look, is that Grandma Zhu from Xifu?"

When Jia Qiong heard this, she couldn't help but look in the direction pointed by the mandarin duck, and saw Li Kun in front of her dressed in plain clothes, elegant and clean, with a light veil on her face and a cloak. Under the protection of a few maids and servants, they are also walking slowly.

There were also several of Jia Zhu's guards beside him, and when the crowd next to him saw this, they also automatically separated themselves from them a few steps, so as not to collide with the nobles.

Just after Jia Zhu got married, he saw him twice, and it was difficult for the mandarin duck to recognize him.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong couldn't help but think of the incident of going to see Jia Zhu a few days ago.

After Jia Qiong finished speaking that day, Jia Zhu just looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and saw that Jia Qiong's face was a little tangled, and he bowed slightly. Said:

"Brother Qiong, you just say it. What else can I hide with my eldest brother? ”

Jia Qiong hesitated for a long time, and saw Li Kun's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and then moved to the ground, she must have been pregnant for more than three months, otherwise these grandmothers would never let her get out of bed easily.

And Jia Lan is Jia Zhu's widow, which means that he must have died before Jia Lan was born, which is only a few months of hard work.

And the original book said that Jia Zhu died of a disease, and now the disease has turned a little back, but whether it will recur in the next few months is another matter.

If Jia Zhu dies first, it will disrupt his plan, thinking of this, Jia Qiong can only slap himself in the face.

After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Brother Zhu also mentioned the brothers in the clan, and my brother feels that they need time, so they can naturally become talents slowly, but we may not have so much time to wait."

The brothers in the clan may be divided into three, and a few who can practice martial arts will continue to be with me. If you can read, continue to read. All the rest let them come out and endure the hardships of life for a few months. It will definitely make them change, and when the time comes, they should be able to settle down to study, or live, at least not to drag them down. ”

It would be best if Jia Zhu could straighten out Jia Qiong's side branches, he was weaker after all, and he was soft-spoken. The brothers in the clan admired themselves, but they may not be willing to listen to themselves, and the most convincing of them was Jia Zhu, and no other generation could do this.

Jia Qiong can only sigh, she is also a side branch, and she treats the same side branch, and if her name is not right, it will not be good.

Looking at Li Kun who was close in front of him, Jia Qiong took a few steps forward, and the maids next to him all knew him, so they let a few people into the inner circle.

"Mother, this is the daughter-in-law of Brother Xifu Zhu, and the daughter of my mentor, Senior Sister Li Kun."

"Senior sister is fine, this is my mother and sister."

As he spoke, he pointed to Shen Xian and Jia Yao.

Seeing this, Li Kun gently blessed Shen Xian, because she was pregnant, the blessing was almost untraceable.

Seeing this, Shen Xian also knew the condition of his body, and then nodded slightly and praised a few words.

Seeing a few people saluting each other and chatting a few words, I couldn't help but look at Li Kun and said, "Senior sister is pregnant, why did she come to incense today." ”

Seeing Jia Qiong say this, Li Kun smiled through the corner of his veiled mouth and said, "You went to see your big brother Zhu that day, and later your big brother Zhu told me that you were going to come to pray for blessings today."

I thought that my husband was in poor health, so I also thought about coming to ask for peace for my husband, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless him with good health. ”

Talking and laughing, he came to the door, only to see Ding Zhong at the edge of the door, and then snorted at the treasure hall.

Jia Qiong was surprised, and then said to a few people: "Mother, senior sister, let's go in quickly." ”

When they entered the hall, they saw more than a dozen people in the hall kneeling on the futon, their hands folded, their eyes closed, and they prayed silently in their hearts.

A few others lined up on the side, a monk gave incense to a few people on the side, and a few people then took out the incense money and put it on the plate.

"Brother, look, the fourth sister seems to have seen that sister."

When Jia Qiong heard this, she lowered her head and smiled at the fourth sister and said, "It's the sister of the Qin family you saw at the Lantern Festival a few years ago." ”

When Shen Xian heard this, she couldn't help but look forward along the team, it was indeed as Jia Qiong said, it was the girl from the Lantern Festival, who was turning around and chatting with a woman.

couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jia Qiong suspiciously, looking up and down.

His son is only eleven years old this year, and the Lantern Festival is only eight years old that year, and now that three years have passed, how can he remember it so clearly.

But since he had seen it, and he knew it, and he didn't know what his son meant, he took a few steps forward and whispered:

"The daughter of the Qin family is good, I haven't seen her for a long time, and she is getting more and more handsome."

As he spoke, he took out some silver coins from his sleeve and put them on the table, and took three incense sticks from the monk's hand.

Qin Keqing, who was next to him, couldn't help but look at Shen Xian, and was slightly stunned before he thought about it.

Yuan Na's posture immediately said, "Aunt Jia is fine." ”

"Sister, you're here too." Hearing this, Shen Xian couldn't help but look sideways.

It turned out to be a daughter-in-law in the same clan, a family that looked similar to her own family, but because of her son, her life is better than theirs.

Then he said: "It turned out to be Brother Heng's mother, Sister Dong hasn't seen her for a while, and I never thought that I would see it here today."

I'm here today to ask for a peace sign for Qiong'er and the fourth sister. ”

"Sister Dong and the daughter of the Qin family are also familiar with each other? What are you asking for today, can you tell me about it? ”

Shen Xian said as she looked at Jia Qiong who came from the door.

I saw that the Dong family looked at Qin Keqing beside him, and then smiled: "My brother Heng is also old, I am ready to ask for peace and prosperity for him, and then ask for a marriage." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jia Qiong, who was following him, and said with a smile: "In the future, my sister will have a happy life, unlike us who have to continue to worry about labor." ”

After speaking, she immediately looked at Qin Keqing, and she also wanted to know what Qin Keqing was here for.

Seeing this, Shen Xian couldn't help but look at Qin Keqing together.

Seeing the two of them, Qin Keqing just smiled lightly, and then said:

"I only met this Aunt Dong today, and I never thought that the two aunts were acquaintances.

Today, I came to burn a stick of peace incense for my father and younger brother to ask for good luck. ”

Just as he was saying this, Li Kun also stepped forward, took three sticks of incense from the monk's hand, and saw Jia Qiong looking at Qin Keqing with burning eyes, with a hint of thought in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

Heart, no wonder Xianggong said that this junior brother Qiong is a really suave and romantic person.

After thinking about it, he immediately said, "Auntie, can you introduce this aunt and sister to me." ”

Shen Xian saw Li Kun say this, smiled softly, and then said:

"What's wrong with this, this is Brother Heng's mother from the side branch of the house, like me, they are all widows, raising naughty children alone."

As he spoke, he pointed to the two of them and introduced them to Li Kun.

It's just that in the afterglow, I saw Jia Qiong's eyes staring at Qin Keqing;

glanced at Dong, who was also listening and thinking, thought about it for a while, and then said:

"This is the daughter of the colleague of the political master in the house, the political master has praised Qiong'er many times with his father, and Qiong'er also met his father by coincidence a few years ago, and the two families walked together and chatted during the Lantern Festival."

When Li Kun heard this, he also knew the thoughts of several people, and glanced at Jia Qiong again, and saw that he was looking at him with a smile.

understood what it meant, he was so familiar with his husband, and he was his father's closed disciple, and he was his own junior brother, so he naturally should help a lot, and then said with a faint smile:

"Since you are the sister of my father's colleague's family, you might as well come to me, let's talk more together, and let the two aunts talk more."

After chatting a few words, they saw that the people in front of them had already gotten up, so they also took the positions of the people in front of them, burned incense and worshiped the Buddha one by one according to the instructions, and prayed in their hearts.

After the event, several people returned to the gate together, and saw a monk next to them unsigning for everyone.

Li Kun thought for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Qiong, you and your eldest brother Zhu have to go to Jinling to take the exam this year, and you are old enough to get engaged, why don't you come and ask for a signature." ”

When Jia Qiong heard this, she was just about to refuse, and when she saw her mother Shen Xian looking at him expectantly, Qin Keqing and the Dong family, as well as the maid and the little maid, also stopped and watched.

After a little thought, he walked to the monk, took another bucket from the table, and shook it and dropped a stick.

The monk saw that the sign had fallen out, so he held on, although he also heard the woman next to him persuade him to ask for a sign, but still asked: "I don't know what the donor wants to ask?" ”

Seeing the monk ask like this, Jia Qiong was also a little dazed, he didn't know what to ask for, he didn't believe in this, but he thought of the goal of this life.

couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Xian and the fourth sister, then at Qin Keqing and Li Kun, then turned to look at the monk and said:

"Master, I have a lot of requests in my heart, but I can't go out one by one, I don't know what I want, I don't know if the master has a solution."

As soon as these words came out, the monk's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little displeased.

And a few people behind Jia Qiong also frowned slightly, and Shen Xian even said: "Qiong'er, what nonsense are you talking about, you are asking for the imperial examination." ”

The monk looked at Jia Qiong, who was speechless, and glanced at the proverbs signed on it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a slight smile. Then he said: "The little donor doesn't know what he wants in his heart, but it's not that he can't solve it." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the monk in surprise.

Then I heard him say: "The little donor's signature is to sign it."

The poem says: Heaven and earth are open for good fate, and all things are good when the sun is auspicious; If you get this sign, it is not trivial, and the public line is loyal to the emperor.

The meaning is: rapid is not fast, when the year is straight, the Buddha chooses the pen, and reports to the king first. This sign seeks to seek auspiciousness for everything. ”

After speaking, he handed the bamboo stick in his hand to a few people to watch, and everyone saw what was written on the sign, as the monk said, and their faces were full of joy.

Seeing this, Li Kun glanced at Qin Keqing again, and said with a smile at him: "Sister of the Qin family, you might as well go and ask for a signature, after all, you are young, and it is okay to ask for a signature, or you can ask for marriage." ”

Qin Keqing looked at Li Kun in embarrassment, what can he ask for a sign for a person who is to be married in his boudoir, and can he really ask for marriage.

Just wanted to refuse, but the Dong family on the side also said: "Yes, Miss Qin, you might as well ask for a sign, it will be fun." ”

When Qin Keqing heard this, he couldn't help but look over, only to see Shen Xian, Dong's family, and the fourth sister, and a few maids next to him all looking at him excitedly.

Even their own maids Ruizhu and Baozhu looked at them curiously, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but smile tactfully.

After thinking about it, then let's have fun, it's better to be like the younger brother of the Jia family.

Then he also shook the bucket forward, picked up the bamboo stick that fell on the table and handed it to the monk, and then said: "Master, I don't know what to ask for in my heart, the master looks at the solution." ”

As soon as these words came out, the monk's face was stunned again, and he couldn't help but look at Jia Qiong and Qin Keqing repeatedly.

The suspicious look made Qin Keqing's face red, and through the plain white veil, he could see a slight blush on his face.

After an experience, the monk glanced at the two of them indifferently, and then looked at the bamboo stick in his hand, only to see the poem on it:

"Sorrowful thoughts gradually open from time to time, and the clouds and evenings are coming; Like a piece of jade from dung, a good worker comes out of the dust in one fell swoop. ”
