Chapter 21 Ling'an National Temple

Back at the Hou Mansion, Ye Lingwu got out of the carriage and went straight to Jinghe Hall, coincidentally, just arrived at the main house, and Mrs. Shen just rested.

Mama Xuan led Tanchun and Jiang Lanshu out of the house, closed the door tightly, and when she turned around, she saw Ye Lingwu standing in the courtyard.

Mama Xuan smiled and said, "Miss Lingwu has a good time tonight?" ”

Ye Lingwu nodded and said, "The capital is so lively, and the fireworks festival is also very beautiful." ”

Jiang Lanshu frowned, and the hand holding the wooden plate gradually tightened, and only then did the female envoy say that Shen Zhan was also watching the fireworks in the building tonight. Xiao Banyue didn't see her sweetheart, so she missed it like this, and she was already very uncomfortable, but Ye Lingwu was so happy.

Like her, I can't get used to seeing it, and there is also a spring visit.

"There are still many days like this, Miss Lingwu has just come to the capital, it's normal to be fresher, and I'm going to the temple tomorrow, Miss Lingwu should go back to the room early to rest, don't miss the business tomorrow."

"Go to the temple to pray for blessings?" Ye Lingwu's words were asked by looking at Mama Xuan, and he didn't pay attention to Tanchun.

Mama Xuan's lips pursed, and she said: "Every year after the Shangyuan Festival, the Ningbei Hou Mansion will go up and down to Ling'anguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. ”

Ye Lingwu nodded and said, "I know, tomorrow I will get up early and prepare things for the old lady to worship." ”

Back to the courtyard.

Rongxiu, who stayed behind, stepped forward, put the cloak on Ye Lingwu, and said, "Why did the girl come back, tonight's fireworks festival is still beautiful?" ”

Ye Lingwu nodded lightly, and asked again, "Can I arrange the letter I asked you to send to Yuzhou?" ”

Rong Xiu said: "It's all done, and the slave and maid also gave some more silver taels, so that they must deliver the letter to the girl's grandfather in good condition." ”

Ye Lingwu smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, Sister Rongxiu." ”

The next day, Ye Ling went to the old lady's room half an hour earlier than usual to wait for her to get up, she thought it was early enough, but she didn't expect Jiang Lanshu to have already dressed Mrs. Shen.

Jiang Lanshu turned around and saw Ye Lingwu staying where she was, and said, "Sister Lingwu came at the right time, you go and bring a basin of water to the old lady to wash her face." ”

"......" Ye Lingwu obediently went to fetch water.

When she came back with water, Mrs. Shen was sitting in front of the mirror, Mama Xuan was combing her hair in a bun, Jiang Lanshu was not in the house, she must have gone to the kitchen to watch breakfast.

Ye Lingwu twisted the handkerchief skillfully, and he didn't do much when he wanted to do this, but he was not vague at all than Mama Xuan, and he served the old lady in three clicks and two clicks.

The carriage prepared by the Marquis of Ningbei was wide and had a spectacular lineup, and the four carriages followed many female envoys and even escorts.

Pulling the wheels and spinning non-stop, from the bustling long street to the forest avenue, the sound of the wheels and wheels, it took more than half an hour to drive a carriage from the Hou Mansion in Ningbei to Ling'an Guo Temple.

Ye Lingwu helped Mrs. Shen to get off the horse, just in time to see Shen Ci's sleepy-eyed and groggy appearance on the carriage in front of her.

It was rare to see him take off his red clothes and put on a white brocade robe, he was suddenly called, his face was still a little stinky, Ye Lingwu quietly moved a few steps away from him.

No wonder Mrs. Shen didn't like Shen Ci, not only let him come to Jinghe Hall less, but also exempted him from asking for peace every week, saving him from being an eyesore in front of him.

Shen Paner is also rare to dress elegantly, these two brothers and sisters are used to dressing up brightly on weekdays, and today they look a lot more serious. Needless to say, Shen Yue'er and Zhao's family, the mother and daughter who are not related by blood are still as light as Ju.

Qin Mingyu carried her skirt and got down from the carriage at the front, her skin was like congealed fat, and she was extremely well maintained, and her nobility in the white robe was not reduced by half.

The last one to come down was Shen Zhan, who was also dressed in white, and everyone's eyes were almost on him.

Although according to generation, Mrs. Shen is the oldest in the Ningbei Hou Mansion, but in fact, the Ningbei Hou Mansion is already respected by this Shen Xiaohou Mansion.

In addition to being the largest temple in the capital, Ling'an Temple also enshrines the spiritual seats of many princes and nobles of the dynasty, nobles and generals.

The tablet of the old marquis Shen is enshrined in the Dingkun Palace, and the palace is dedicated to the famous god of war of the dynasty.

Everyone took Mrs. Shen, Qin Mingyu, and Shen Zhan as the leaders and saluted. Old Mrs. Shen took the lead in lighting three incense sticks, and the rest of the Shen family followed suit

Ye Lingwu stared at the tablet, although the old marquis Shen was a general who served the country and the people, but Ye Lingwu had a trace of sadness in addition to admiration for the tablet, and he didn't think about it for a long time.

When she was a child, she was often scolded by her father for being a heartless little prank, and now it seems that it is true.

After a long time, the hall was still quiet, and only the dull sound of bells could be heard.

Ye Lingwu cautiously glanced around, but saw Qin Mingyu, who had turned around and came down, and glanced at her lightly, Ye Lingwu was full of excitement, and straightened up his already upright kneeling posture.

After the memorial service was completed, the group just stepped out of the palace. Old Mrs. Shen proposed to go to Baohua Palace, but Qin Mingyu couldn't stand the boredom of chanting, so she said to go around for a walk, and Shen Zhan naturally wanted to follow her.

Shen Pan'er has a detached personality, and she will not choose to go to Baohua Hall to watch people chanting, even if she is dissatisfied with Zhao's gaze, she will follow Qin Mingyu in a hurry.

And Jiang Lanshu rarely stayed with Mrs. Shen, saying that she was also going to go around the National Temple.

However, Shen Ci unexpectedly stayed.

Everyone came to the Baohua Hall, and Master Jishi, who was dressed in a red robe, walked over with two disciples.

Master Jishi clasped his hands together and bowed his head to Mrs. Shen and said, "Amitabha, Old Lady Shen, Second Master Shen, Second Lady Shen, don't come to harm." ”

They folded their hands in return to him.

Mrs. Shen said: "Master Jishi has traveled all over the world, I haven't seen him for two years, and he looks more dignified than before, presumably because he has seen through a lot of people's happiness and suffering." ”

Master Jishi smiled and said nothing, swept the juniors behind them, and suddenly pointed at Ye Lingwu with a Zen staff, raised his eyebrows and said: "The red light shines brightly, with its own luxury, the girl will be a blessed person in the future." ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned: "Me? ”

Shen Ci sneered disapprerovingly, clasped his hands lazily in front of his chest, and said, "Master Jishi is really good at counting, so why don't you show me too?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao took his eyes and excused himself. It means that he should pay attention to what he says, don't go to Ling'an National Temple and not be in shape.

Master Jishi didn't care, smiled casually, and glanced at the crowd a few times.

Then it fell back to Ye Lingwu, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, "Girl, you have to do it all the time." ”

"Go with the flow?" Ye Ling was puzzled.

Since she came to the capital, she has no qualifications to do what she wants.

He let her go with her heart, so can she still live in the capital?

There is a big lake in the backyard of the National Temple, Qin Mingyu and Shen Zhan walked side by side along the lake, followed by Mother Fu and Shen Pan'er, Jiang Lanshu, Yue Yang and several martial maids.

In winter, the lake freezes, but it's not much to look at.

Qin Mingyu sighed, exhaled a lot of white mist, and said, "You have been either in the frontier or in the military camp all these years, and it is rare to be able to accompany your mother this year." ”

Shen Zhan said silently: "The child has indeed neglected filial piety over the years, and I hope my mother will forgive." ”

Qin Mingyu said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, you have endured hardships in the frontier all these years, I am too late to feel distressed, how can I blame." ”

Shen Pan'er answered: "It is not easy for the eldest brother to carry the Ningbei Hou Mansion and the Shen family's Black Flag Army over the years, although he rarely accompanies the eldest aunt, but with us, I like to annoy the eldest aunt for three days the most." ”

"Pan'er is the most likable, and the eldest aunt is not annoying." Qin Mingyu smiled, but happened to be in front of an ancestral hall.

This is also the ultimate purpose of her coming to the lake.

Mother Fu knew what it meant, and said at the right time: "Eldest princess, little marquis, this is just the old man's shrine under the moon, why don't we go in and worship?" ”

Qin Mingyu glanced at Shen Zhan and said, "There is no beautiful scenery to visit by this lake, why don't you go in with your mother?" ”

Shen Zhan looked at the plaque on the ancestral hall, frowned quietly, and replied, "Mother, go, I'll wait here." ”

Qin Mingyu smiled, but it was not easy to go back, a few days ago I heard others say that there is an old man's shrine under the moon behind Ling'an Guo Temple, so she has to come far away today, even if Shen Zhan doesn't go in, she herself has to go in and ask for it for him.

Shen Paner felt that the name of this ancestral hall was good, and she followed in a daze.

At the same time, a light snow suddenly fell in the sky.

Shen Zhan looked up at the sky, his vision was suddenly blocked by an ink umbrella, he was stunned, and looked down at the girl wearing a velvet feather beside him.

"I saw that the sky was not good today, so I brought an umbrella, and I didn't want to use it." Jiang Lanshu held up a relaxed smile, and her heartbeat became faster and faster, as if she was beating a drum.

Yue Yang couldn't remember Jiang Lanshu's name, and said with a smile: "This girl is very careful, it's just like this kind of light snow and light rain or something, our young lord never uses an umbrella." ”

Jiang Lanshu's face froze, and when she was hesitating to accept the umbrella, she heard Shen Zhan say in a deep voice: "You are quite good at being my master, Xiaoxue Xiaoyu I want to use an umbrella, but have you brought it?" ”

Yue Yang pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "How can there be so many people who march and fight, if the young lord wants to find a delicate person to hold an umbrella for you, why don't you go in and say goodbye......"

Hearing this, Shen Zhan glanced over, and Yue Yang covered his mouth in a daze.

Jiang Lanshu looked at the two silently, smiled shyly, her heart seemed to be suddenly filled with something, and the cold wind blowing on her body was also warm.
