Chapter 16: Asking for help

Keganji Temple is located in the southern suburbs of Kuok Castle outside of Kyoto, still in the middle of the mountains.

The plan of the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion was that she and her eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law would listen to the scriptures in Huayan Temple for a few days and stay in Huayan Temple for a few days.

As for the juniors in the family, let them listen to the scriptures every day, they will definitely not be able to sit still, let them eat a day of fasting in Huayan Temple, and then they can go to amusement on their own.

In the eastern suburbs and western suburbs, there are gardens built by the Zhenguo Mansion, and you can live wherever you want, and this time a group of juniors all want to go to the eastern suburbs, because there is a horse farm there, and you can also hunt.

As for when to play, that's before the leaderboard.

There is no rain on the mountain road, and the empty green is wet.

Huayan Temple is on the mountain, and from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is a stone step built by the nobles who donated silver.

Step after step, winding upwards, the road is hidden in the thick trees on both sides of the winding path.

The old lady is old, and she can't bear it when she has climbed so many steps.

Wan Jinlan wanted to help her grandmother go, but her grandmother also said that since she was here, she would go up in person, so as to show her sincerity.

Everyone walked a trip and took a break, and even a weak person like Shen Qing resisted.

Standing on a high place, when you look down, the verdant forest sea is shrouded in a layer of mist.

Wan Jinlan leaned on the tree and looked down, and exclaimed: "In a trance, I thought I had arrived at the fairy mirror." ”

Wan Jinyu rubbed her legs and said, "If you don't have to go up so many steps, you can go up to the temple in one go, and I am willing to praise this place as a fairyland." ”

Shen Qing and the others laughed.

The old lady saw that Wan Jinlan didn't sweat a little on her forehead, and she didn't breathe, and she walked here like a leisurely stroll, and she also felt that there were still some benefits to practicing martial arts, at least in good health.

The old lady is glad that Wan Jinlan has practiced martial arts for many years, and she has not become the appearance of the five big and three coarse.

"The white clouds look back, and the blue mist looks into nothing."

Wan Jinlan looked up for prestige and saw someone who was chanting poetry in Yaxing.

It just so happened that she knew her, the son of the county lord of Kangping, Wu Ye.

Wu Ye was dressed in a white brocade robe, and his figure still looked thin, but the sorrow between his eyebrows seemed to have dissipated, and there was only a weak scholarly anger on his body.

Recently, the matter between the county lord of Kangping and Wu Shouren has caused a lot of trouble in the city.

The father of the county lord of Kangping, the king of Linjiang County, sued Wu Shouren, and the county lord of Kangping also entered the palace in person after he was able to walk around physically, and cried in front of the queen mother.

The queen asked people to go to the city of Yuyi to spread the word and reprimanded Wu Shouren.

The county lord of Kangping said that the water bandit was sent by Wu Shouren to kill her, but Wu Shouren refused to admit it to death, saying that it was framed.

Now Wan Jinlan hasn't heard of Wu Shouren's punishment.

However, in her opinion, even if she can't catch the evidence that Wu Shouren bought and murdered his wife, Wu Shouren's future career will come to an end, after all, his reputation is stinky.

Wu Ye was sitting on the stone bench on the steps above to rest, and when he heard Wan Jinlan's voice, he couldn't help but cry out and chanted a poem, just to echo her sentence "I thought I had arrived in fairyland".

After chanting, there was a slight sense of revenge and regret in his heart, would the girl from the Wan family think that he was deliberately showing.

From the reconciliation between his mother and his father, and then to the distress in Weishui, his mother insisted that his father did it, and he also felt that the wave of water bandits was strange, and it seemed that he wanted money, but in fact he killed his mother.

In the past, he was still entangled in the problems between his parents, and his father deceived his mother, but for so many years, he was always kind to him.

But after experiencing the water bandits, he also understood.

From beginning to end, it was his mother who gave the most, and he had no right to let his mother make sacrifices for him.

He is a son of man and hopes that his parents will be well, but after experiencing life and death, he sincerely hopes that his mother and divorce will get better and better.

He got up and went down a few steps, and when he reached the flat road, Sven politely and aristocratic saluted the old lady and the Shen family and the Gu family.

"The younger generation is Wu Ye, the eldest son of the lord of Kangping County, and he has seen the ladies of the Duke's Mansion."

The old lady nodded kindly, and politely talked to Wu Ye for a while.

Immediately, everyone set off again, and Wu Ye naturally came together with the juniors of the Wan family.

"I haven't personally thanked Miss Wan for saving my mother and me last time."

Wan Jinlan waved his hand casually, "You don't have to be so polite, it's just a gesture." ”

Even if it wasn't Wu Ye, if it was someone else, she would have reached out when she saw someone falling into the water.

"My mother has been weak since she fell into the water, and I heard that the incense of Huayan Temple is very vigorous and very effective, so I came to ask for a peace charm for my mother today."

Wan Zhijing saw that Wu Ye was only talking to her sister, so she walked between the two of them quietly, and talked to him with a natural expression.

They are all people who have participated in the imperial examination and are quite talented in reading, so they have a common topic.

Wu Ye didn't think about anything else, and felt that he was very close to Wan Zhijing.

There are many temples and temples in the suburbs of Beijing, and recently there are high-ranking monks preaching scriptures, and many bureaucrats and nobles and literati have come, and they have met many familiar people on this winding road.

When I arrived at Huayan Temple, it was already noon.

The temple meal is good, but for Wan Jinlan, it is too light.

The bamboo is lush, the grass is green, the bell chime is thick, and the sandalwood is curling.

Even though there are a lot of people coming recently, Huayan Temple is not noisy, and it is still a little quiet and solemn, and the blue-gray mottled walls seem to be covered with sandalwood.

Girls like Wan Jinlan and Wan Jinyu naturally don't have the concentration of the old lady and them, and they can sit in the Dharma hall for two hours without moving.

After staying in the meditation room in the temple for one night, the old lady said on the second day that several people could go to Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs.

Several juniors are all happy.

Let them smell sandalwood in the temple all the time, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

Ever since she received the letter from someone she didn't know, she was vigilant when she arrived at the boundary of Huayan Temple. But there were no problems last day, and now they seem to be going well on their way down the mountain.

After going down the steps, the field of vision widened, and before the carriage was parked, I saw a group of seven or eight cloth-clothed people crying and approaching.

"I beg your help in finding our children."

The group cried and knelt down in front of Wan Zhijing.

Wan Zhijing couldn't break free and said: "Get up first, go to the official if the person is missing, what's the use of you crying here?" ”

An old man sighed and said: "After the child was lost, we reported to the official, but the official in the village mobilized people to look for it, but he didn't find it, and there was no clue at all." ”

These are all people who have lost half of their children in their families, and they are all people from villages dozens of miles away from the capital.

In the past, children were lost in the village, but not as often as this year, and in their village alone, nine children were lost in a few months.

Wan Jinlan asked, "How did you find this place without a clue?" ”

A woman dressed as a peasant woman wiped her tears and said: "The senior monks of Huayan Temple will give lectures, and there will definitely be dignitaries and dignitaries here, and the small people will have the courage to come here to intercept the nobles, but they are also helpless. ”
