The Great Xiangguo Temple in the capital is the most vigorous incense temple in the capital, in addition to seeking a career, it is said that the marriage is also very effective.

Ye Qiong and Ye Yao sat in the carriage to Daxiangguo Temple, the carriage swayed, Ye Yao turned the handkerchief in his hand, but unexpectedly, the handkerchief took off his hand and flew into Ye Qiong's arms.

Ye Qiong sighed and handed the handkerchief over: "Sister, are you still thinking about Yang An?" ”

Ye Yao's eyes turned red when she heard Yang An's name, but she shook her head firmly: "It's all over, there's nothing to be nostalgic about." ”

Ye Qiong only felt sad, sat down and hugged Ye Yao's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "I know, my sister is so beautiful and smart, how can Yang An be worthy?" ”

"You." Ye Yao nodded at her, her tone was full of doting, but there was still sadness between her eyebrows, "I just feel helpless, my daughter's marriage is a lifelong thing, but the decision was hasty and brief." The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the better ones can still look at each other, and the almost ones don't see each other until the wedding night. Marriage seems to have nothing to do with love, it's just a matter of everyone teaming up to make life passable. ”

Ye Qiong was a little surprised that her sister could have such an idea, but she thought about it when she heard the words: "Love is too rare." The more you invest, the more disappointed you are, and the happier you can be if you start with your own well. ”

This is the experience that Ye Qiong got along with Zhang Xudong in her previous life, the more you look forward to it, the more disappointed you are, until finally discouraged and finally figured it out, Zhang Xudong has already charged himself with adultery and murder for the sake of his future.

Ye Yao shook his head and said, "If that's the case, what's the use of marriage?" ”

Both of them sighed at the same time.

Ye Qiong thought of today's purpose, but still cheered up and persuaded Ye Yao: "Okay, today is for my sister to see you, it's not good to retreat before you see it!" ”

Ye Yao nodded and smiled at Ye Qiong: "What about me, it was you who chose the Great Xiangguo Temple chosen by your grandmother before we came out to offer incense, let's say, is it suffocated after being at home for a long time?" ”

Ye Qiong smiled and thought about it a few times in her heart.

In addition to the miracle, there is also a unique view of the temple, especially the golden ginkgo biloba that fills the temple after entering the autumn, which is the most famous.

At this moment, Ye Qiong and her brother Ye Jin were hiding behind a ginkgo tree, eavesdropping on the conversation between Ye Yao and a man.

The man is the object of Ye Yao's eyes today. His name is Chen Yingjie, and he is currently running a silk business at home, with a lot of assets, and now he has won the autumn festival and is preparing for the spring festival of the next year, and it is said that he has a good knowledge.

In front of the ginkgo tree, Chen Yingjie was arrogant, and when he saw Ye Yao saluting him, he arched his hand casually: "Under Chen Yingjie." ”

Ye Yao's eyebrows were soft, and she was not angry at Chen Yingjie's lazy attitude: "The little girl's name is Ye Yao, she is the daughter of the director of the Ministry of Works, and she has met Chen Gongzi. ”

Chen Yingjie lowered his posture when he heard Ye Yao report to his family, and said, "You are also a woman from an official family, and naturally you also know the truth that no one wants a woman who has been married." ”

Ye Qiong, who was shrunk behind the ginkgo tree, darkened her face. What no one wants, her sister is fine, where no one wants.

Over there, Chen Yingjie continued: "So, I won't give you too much dowry, ten lifts, it's enough, right?" ”

Ye Qiong was dumbfounded, and she couldn't even get angry.

Ten lifts, called Hanako.

Nowadays, ordinary people marry their daughters and make up enough dowry of sixty-four to raise the dowry, and if they can't make it up, they can make up at least thirty-two and half, and the dowry of rich and noble families or official eunuchs is even more. According to the fact that the dowry is half of the dowry, even the most ordinary people would not do such a thing as giving ten dowries.

Ye Yao, who was gentle and gentle, was also angry, and said sonorously word by word: "Gongzi Chen, I respect you as a student, so I agreed to come to see you." My father is the head of the Ministry of Works, my grandfather is the former emperor, my mother was born in the Xie family in Wuyi Lane, Jiangnan, and you are only a mere person and even a protégé of the Son of Heaven, what kind of face to say this request, I am not here to be humiliated by you! I'm getting married, not selling myself in a hurry! ”

When Chen Yingjie heard that sentence, he trembled with anger: "If you quit your relatives, you are an abandoned woman, and you still have the face to dislike my background!" ”

As he was talking, Chen Yingjie's hand was about to fall and hit Ye Yao's face, but Ye Jin, who had already rushed out, pinched his wrist.

Ye Qiong followed behind Ye Jin, her eyes as cold as a knife.

Abandoned women? In her past and present lives, her sister was not an abandoned woman, it was Yang An's own fault, why was her sister to blame?

"Not to mention that my sister has not been married, it is the daughter of the Ye family's fourth room who has been married. Even if you have married, you shouldn't be scolded for being an abandoned woman, right? Ye Qiong said with a cold face.

Chen Yingjie was still struggling when he was grabbed by the wrist, and when he saw Ye Qiong coming out, he scolded: "It's just a little girl, what kind of adult is she involved in?" ”

Ye Jin and Ye Yao's faces changed at the same time, Ye Jin grabbed Chen Yingjie's hand tighter, making Chen Yingjie cry out in pain: "What little girl, that's my little sister, and you can talk about it?" ”

Ye Qiong didn't care, and said with a cool smile: "Chen Gongzi, my sister also missed a little bit just now, my lobby sister is the future lady of the mountain chief of Wenshan Academy. You're still studying at Wenshan Academy, aren't you? You should know what happens when your student status is dismissed. ”

Chen Yingjie's face turned white in an instant, and as soon as Ye Jin let go of his hand, Chen Yingjie ran away in fright.

Ye Jin was very disdainful: "What's the matter, you dare to do it to the eldest sister." Eldest sister, this person can't be married, I'll go and talk to A-Niang. ”

Ye Yao had long known that they were nearby, and was not surprised by their appearance: "I'll go with my brother, the other party's mother is still there, and I have to go and see them." ”

Ye Qiong pursed her lips, knowing that there would definitely be a climb, so she said: "If the other party doesn't give up, just scare him with the matter of school status, Sister Yu has a good character, and she can't see this kind of thing that dares to attack a woman." ”

"Okay, don't be angry, it's too much, it's hard for the matchmaker to explain, and A-Niang is still counting on the matchmaker to help me set another family business." Ye Yao persuaded her, and the gloom between her eyebrows became even thicker.

Ye Qiong was even more depressed.

Although the Ye family claimed that it was Ye Shanshan who married the Yang family, the discerning people still understood in their hearts, and even the matchmakers were looking for people who wanted their sister to marry.

It's just that she once got married, and she became a girl that no one wanted. Even if Da Liang has an open literary style, women and men can go to school together, they are still the same conservative in terms of male and female parenting.

My sister's family affairs, maybe I have to think of a way.

Ye Jin and Ye Yao went to Ah Niang to tell what happened, but Ye Qiong did not go together, and walked into the depths of the temple alone.

Daxiangguo Temple entertains ordinary people outside and official eunuchs inside, Ye Qiong is not worried about safety, she just wants to walk alone.

The ancient temple is so deep that even the bells are far away. Ye Qiong walked on the ginkgo paved path, suddenly felt something, and walked into a large hall.

I don't know what kind of Bodhisattva is enshrined in the main hall, and his eyebrows and eyes are lowered, but he is very kind.

Ye Qiong knelt in front of the Buddha with her skirt folded, folded her hands, bowed down reverently, and only prayed silently in her heart: Bodhisattva, I don't know how I got rebirth, but I am grateful to God and gave me a chance to start over. In this life, may you bless my Ye family with peace and joy, and everything goes well.

As soon as Ye Qiong finished reciting the prayer in her heart, she heard a sneer in the hall: "Little friend, if you want your family to be safe and happy, you should go to worship the Medicine King Bodhisattva, what should you do to worship the Jizo King Bodhisattva?" ”

Ye Qiong was shocked, how did this person know what he was thinking?

Ye Qiong straightened up, and saw that a lottery stall had been set up in the corner of the hall at some point, and behind the stall sat a crane-haired old man, who was stroking his beard and waving to her with a smile.

Ye Qiong wondered in her heart, how could there be a Taoist priest in the temple who set up a stall, and he didn't even notice when he came in?

Ye Qiong walked over suspiciously and sat down in front of the stall, and the old Taoist stretched out his hand and stuffed the stick holder into her hand without saying anything.

Ye Qiong just wanted to push back, but with a shake of her hand, a bamboo stick slipped out of the stick.

Lao Dao pinched the bamboo stick and counted it, and said with a smile: "Girl, you have two lifetimes." ”

Ye Qiong was stunned, but the old man shook his head again, and sighed: "Two lives, two lives, although the starting point of this life is different, it can solve the disaster in front of you, but it is no match for the impermanence of fate, and it is finally a bamboo basket for nothing." ”

Ye Qiong closed her eyes, her heart sank little by little, and the fate of her family in her previous life swept in front of her one by one.

Daddy was decided, Auntie hanged herself, her brother was seriously ill, and her sister died under the horse's hooves......

Ye Qiong suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were scarlet.

She reached out and snatched the stick, only to find that it was blank. Ye Qiong raised her eyebrows, took a brush from the stall, wrote the words "sign" by herself, and handed it back to the old man: "Dao Chief, when I first woke up from a big dream, I understood a truth." In life, we must do our best, but we cannot obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Obey the destiny of heaven, and soon after, the Ye family will still be ruined.

The old man was not angry, but happily withdrew the signature.

Outside the main hall, the maid cuckoo who was traveling with her this time was calling her. Ye Qiong no longer paid attention to the old way and walked towards the outside of the hall.

In the hall, Lao Dao pinched the bamboo skewer and was surprised: "That pen was brought by me from my senior brother, this little girl is going to be lucky!" ”

Ye Qiong walked under the ginkgo tree with the cuckoo, listening to the cuckoo's whisper: "Second girl, I heard Li'er next to Miss Cersei say that after Miss Cerse went back, she lost her temper and smashed the whole boudoir. A few days ago, the two quarreled again and even moved their hands, and Miss Shanshan's face was almost scratched by Miss Cersei with a broken porcelain piece, and even then the corners of her mouth were broken. ”

Ye Qiong played with a ginkgo biloba leaf that fell in her palm, and said with a smile: "It's a pity." ”

It's a pity that it didn't really ruin Ye Shanshan's face.

Du Juan knew what Ye Qiong said, but did not react, and after saying his words, Du Juan quietly closed his mouth and followed Ye Qiong.

"Cuckoo, I know what you're thinking." Ye Qiong sighed, "There's no way, Yang An can threaten with Da Liang Law because it is an official woman who is with him." The young girls who were adulterous by the fourth uncle had signed a deed of sale, and some of them were even born in brothels, and Da Lianglu was useless to him. ”

Hearing this, the cuckoo stopped, and looked stubborn: "The slave knows." The slave maid is different from Miss Cersei, but just let him go, the slave and maid are really unwilling! ”

"Who said they were going to let him go?" Ye Qiong sneered, "If this method doesn't work, let's change the way, it's just that the time hasn't come yet." Don't worry, since you have come to my side, you are my person, and I will naturally avenge your revenge. ”

When the cuckoo heard this, the tears that had been stored in his eyes fell: "Girl, you don't have to be like this. ”

"Not for you, but also for my sister who was disturbed, I'm not as noble as you think." Ye Qiong said deliberately to alleviate the cuckoo's guilt.

The soul case has not yet happened, and now the fourth uncle, the inner ghost, is moving, for fear that it will startle the snake.

However, the fourth uncle can't move, and the other people in the fourth room are not necessarily, otherwise how could Ye Qiong propose to let Ye Shanshan marry the adulterous Ye Sese?

"Let's muddy the fourth room first. Ye Sese is vain, let the maids around her tell her more about the wealth of the Yang family, it is best to let her see Ye Shanshan and Yang An interacting, looking at the duck in her hand in other people's mouths, she will make a bigger incident sooner or later. Ye Qiong commanded.

The snipe and the clam compete, and she, the fisherman, can benefit.

The cuckoo responded, and the two walked through a courtyard wall, Ye Qiong just wanted to wave his hand to let the cuckoo retreat, and saw a familiar figure standing behind the courtyard wall.

Ye Qiong pursed her lips, but still let the cuckoo retreat, lifted her skirt and walked towards the figure: "Did you hear it?" ”

The person who came was Lu Shaodan, and he nodded: "I heard it." ”

Ye Qiong became depressed for no reason, lowered her head and pulled the leaves under her feet, and the leaves swirled up and fell, just like her mood now.

"You're doing the right thing." Lu Shaodan's affirmative voice came from the top of his head, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people." If anyone sins against me, why should I endure? ”

Ye Qiong's eyes lit up, and she smiled: "That's exactly what I said." ”

Seeing that Lu Shaodan was alone, and he didn't even bring a little servant, Ye Qiong asked, "Brother Shaodan, what are you doing here?" ”

Lu Shaodan's eyes crossed a bit of sadness, but the young man who was enthusiastic on weekdays was in a gloomy posture at the moment, he said: "Come to add incense to my deceased father, and meet a monk by the way"

Ye Qiong let out an "ah" and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I offended." ”

"It's okay, he should be happy to be mentioned." Lu Shaodan's expression was gentle, "In the capital, there are not many people who remember him." ”

Ye Qiong knew that Lu Shaodan was not talking about Lu Yushi, but his real father.

Ye Qiong remembered her past life.

People's memories fade quickly, let alone in a place like the capital.

Daddy died of sin, and couldn't enter the ancestral grave of the Ye family, so my grandmother and myself found a cemetery alone to bury my father and my aunt who hanged herself, and later, my brother was buried there, and then my grandmother who didn't want to enter the ancestral grave. Perhaps in his previous life, when he was still in prison, the fifth uncle also buried his sister and little niece inside.

Once reborn, Qingming cold food and a glass of wine, only one remembers them.

Ye Qiong's eyes were red, and she smiled at Lu Shaodan: "Now, I remember him again." ”

Lu Shaodan's nose was sour, and he blinked his eyes and turned his face.

After a while, perhaps not for a long time, Lu Shaodan sorted out his emotions and asked, "Let's talk about business." How are you doing at the temple, do you need help? ”

Ye Qiong raised a determined smile: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”
