"Although it is said that I went to the temple to offer incense, many people in the capital went there, dressed too plainly, and when I met acquaintances, I would make people laugh, and those people praised and stepped on low!" Zhang Yushu said with a pair of big eyes flickering.

Zhang Yuqing thanked him, "When you come out of the temple, I will return you." ”

She could see that Zhang Yushu didn't have much jewelry. There are so many people in the Zhang family, and this little sister Yushu still has some kindness to her.

Although Mrs. Zhang advertises herself as a virtuous and benevolent lady everywhere, and treats her concubines very kindly and kindly, but in fact it is like that.

Zhang Yushu's biological mother, Aunt Yuan, usually doesn't go out in the yard, low-key and obedient, and Zhang Yushu herself is also very well-behaved and sensible. And in the Zhang family, except for Aunt Yuan, who gave birth to a daughter, the children all crawled out of Mrs. Zhang's belly, and none of the remaining five or six aunts of Zhang Zuozhen gave birth to children.

It can be seen that Mrs. Zhang has good means.

The temple where Zhang's family went was not far from Zhang's house, and when they arrived, it was already crowded, and there were officials and women who came to burn incense everywhere, crowded and crowded, and the incense in the temple was not enough.

Looking at Miao Zhuxi's teeth and eyes, Zhang Yuqing pondered that today's incense money must have been made a lot.

People who came and went excitedly talked about the retrial of the unjust case by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion yesterday and the innocence of a coolie carrying a sack.

In addition to lamenting the good luck of the coolie who carried the sack, and the adult who tried the case was a wise old man, the twists and turns of the story were also mixed with ghosts and gods, and there were signs of fairy apparitions everywhere, which was more wonderful than any drama they had heard.

Forcibly turned the story of a legal channel into a fantasy legendary novel.

Everyone spoke vividly, as if the object of Lord Yama's dream was himself, and as if he had come to the scene of God's wrath and heavenly punishment.

It is said that the storytellers of the teahouse have had several versions of the jokes circulating, and each joke is made up in a resounding way, attracting people's attention, and gathering all kinds of routines that the broad masses of the people like to see. It is said that even the follow-up of the parties has been compiled, one of them is He Qi, the presiding judge was happy to see it, and after helping him avenge his grievances, he felt that he was a good person, married his daughter to him, and the family lived happily together.

Zhang Yuqing listened to the gossip of everyone along the way, and deeply felt that the people are the ultimate creators of literature and art.

Zhang Yuying didn't go out for the past two days, and she didn't know that such a thing had happened in the capital, and she sensitively heard the words "carrying a sack", and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and turned her head to ask Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu, "Do you know what they said?" ”

"I don't know." Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu shook their heads in unison.

Zhang Yuying didn't expect to get any news from these two wood-like sisters, but she just asked casually, and immediately decided to ask her close friends after the incense.

"What are you muttering!" Mrs. Zhang asked her mother-in-law to ask the temple to buy incense and asked.

Zhang Yuying said with a smile: "I heard a few passers-by say that there was a strange case in the capital, and the bitter master is a ...... carrying a sack."

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhang sneered disdainfully, "Carrying a sack? ”

The tone and expression seemed to humiliate her identity by mentioning these words.

At this time, the mother-in-law came over with incense and reported to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang complained that the incense money had risen again, took the incense from her mother-in-law, divided three sticks for each of the three girls, and advised: "Kowtow to the Buddha a few more, and ask the Buddha to bless the princess and the princess to recover as soon as possible, and bless our Zhang family to run when the time comes!" ”

When Mrs. Zhang knelt on the futon, Zhang Yushu leaned against Zhang Yuqing's ear and said, "Brother Qian'er is about to take the township test!" ”

Zhang Yuqing understood in her heart why Mrs. Zhang was so kind to take her out to offer incense, and she prayed to the Buddha with many people to bless her son with the title of Jinbang. After all, there are many people and there is great power, maybe the Buddha will hear it!

Zhang Yuqing sneered in his heart, holding incense in his hand, looking up, the hall was molded with a tall Buddha golden body, sitting on the golden lotus, the law was solemn, no sorrow or joy, low eyebrows and lowered eyes to look at the vast number of beings kneeling down reverently under His Royal Highness.

Does worshipping the Buddha really work?

Zhang Yuqing was indifferent.

It's really useful, why are there so many injustices in this world? Why do the wicked enjoy all the glory and wealth on the high, while the good people are suppressed and mutilated, and after death, they are poured with sewage and left behind for 10,000 years?

Hell is empty, and demons are on earth.

Mrs. Zhang led the girl of the Zhang family to kneel down in front of the Buddha devoutly, kowtowed a few times and then held incense, and prayed silently in her heart for a long time.

The ladies and ladies who were waiting in line to kowtow to the Buddha were anxious, and they all squinted at Mrs. Zhang, if it weren't for the fact that the Buddha was pure and couldn't quarrel, it was estimated that the disobedient words would have come out long ago.

Mrs. Zhang got up after praying and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The three girls from the Zhang family who followed also followed into the incense.

After the incense, it was still early, and Mrs. Zhang and the familiar lady went to talk.

Zhang Yuying also ran into a handkerchief that came to Shangxiang, and asked Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu reservedly if they wanted to go over and talk together.

The two shook their heads in unison.

"We don't understand the poems and paintings you talk about." Zhang Yushu said sensibly, "It's not interesting to go." ”

Zhang Yuying left with a slightly regretful and decent smile.

Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu stood in the main hall and waited, followed by several housekeepers' daughters-in-law.

Looking at Zhang Yuying in the distance, Zhang Yuqing felt very interesting, as long as Zhang Yuying was held high, so that she felt that she had a sense of superiority over you, Zhang Yuying would be very easy to get along with, at least not like her mother, who was treacherous and scheming, and black water would bubble out when she poked a needle.

A lady came out of the hall with the girl, saw Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu, remembered that it was the family who worshipped in front of the Buddha endlessly, squinted and muttered: "What kind of bad luck does this family have to become, so there are so many things that ask for the Buddha?" I can't finish talking about it for a long time! ”

"I know the family! There is a girl who has the name of the fourth lady of the capital, isn't she just able to make two sour poems! ”

"People have good lives, you're afraid you don't know, right? The future mother-in-law of the family is the lord of Duanshu! ”

"What? Is her fiancé the Lu Gongzi? Lu Gongzi, who won the first place in the polo match? ”

"Isn't it!"

Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

Bored waiting outside, the two entered the main hall again, went around to the back of the main hall, and found that there were dozens of rows of oil lamps lit behind the tall Buddha statues, and a line of small characters was written under each oil lamp, like an enshrined lantern.

A gust of wind blew, accompanied by the chanting of Nan Mu Amitabha, the sound of wooden fish, and the sound of striking bells in the distance, and the small flames of the ever-bright lamp were beating, as if there was really a soul resting here.

Zhang Yuqing watched silently, and called a little novice who passed by in a hurry, "Master, how much does it cost to worship a lamp?" ”

The little novice pointed to the oil lamp and said, "Do you want to offer cheap or expensive?" If it's cheap, it's the most corner of the place, it's 300 yuan a month, and if it's expensive, it's ......."

Zhang Yuqing said: "It's just three hundred dollars, I'll provide two." ”

"Lamps were offered to uncles and aunts at home." Zhang Yushu whispered in Zhang Yuqing's ear.

Zhang Yuqing did not say anything.

Seeing that Zhang Yuqing insisted on offering the ever-bright lantern, Zhang Yushu didn't say anything anymore.

After paying the money, the little novice picked up the cut note, dipped the pen in ink, and asked, "Donor, what are the names of the two people who are enshrined?" ”

Zhang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "You don't have to write your name." ”

"Don't write names?" Xiao Shami asked in surprise.

Zhang Yushu also looked at her in surprise.

"yes, no name." Zhang Yuqing nodded.

One lamp is dedicated to the nurse who once protected her in troubled times, but was victimized by Wang Dali, and the other lamp is dedicated to her adoptive father whose loyal liver and gall were crushed, whose bloody life was harvested, and who did not even dare to show his real name in front of people.

"What a weirdo! If you don't write your name, how can the Buddha know who you worship! Xiao Shami muttered, but still took the money and lit two lamps for Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing stood in front of the lamp, forcibly suppressed the sourness of her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently wished them to be reincarnated as soon as possible and have a good life in the next life.

"Let's go!" Zhang Yushu tugged at Zhang Yuqing's sleeve and whispered, "When Mrs. Hui comes over, she will definitely be angry when she sees that we are not waiting in the same place." ”

Zhang Yuqing nodded, and the two walked to the door of the main hall.

At this moment, a girl shouted at Zhang Yuqing in surprise: "Cousin Yuqing! ”

Zhang Yuqing, who was standing in the corner under the eaves of the main hall, looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Luo and Luo Danxia.

"Cousin, cousin!" Zhang Yuqing hurried over and greeted with a smile.

"You also came here to make incense and pray for the crown princess?" Luo Danxia asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yuqing nodded.

"So do we!" Luo Danxia said.

After they finished the incense, they were tired of walking, and they sat in the flower bed under the shade of the tree to rest, and happened to meet Zhang Yuqing, which was also a coincidence.

Because she knew that Mrs. Luo was willing to marry Zhang Yuqing for her brother, Luo Danxia's eyes when she looked at Zhang Yuqing were the eyes of her future sister-in-law, cordial and happy.

"I'll tell you about Wu County!" Luo Danxia pulled Zhang Yuqing and talked about the customs of Wu County, and after talking for a long time, she sighed, "Although the capital is good, I still miss home!" ”

Zhang Yuqing was very moved when she heard it, "I have heard that Wuyue is a good place, there is Wu Yue in heaven and below, West Lake Qiantang, smoke willow painting bridge, as well as the three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus, I have only heard of it, and I have never been fortunate enough to see it." ”

"Go! Come with us! Luo Danxia looked at Zhang Yuqing and smiled very meaningfully.

Zhang Yuqing smiled: "Is my cousin willing to take me to Wu County?" ”

Mrs. Luo gave a look to the left and right, and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law said that she would take Luo Danxia to go around the temple, leaving only her and Mrs. Luo there.

"Cousin......" Zhang Yuqing stood up with some trepidation, wondering if what she said just now was overstepping and making Mrs. Luo have some bad associations.

Mrs. Luo held Zhang Yuqing's hand and sat down, looked at her kind smile, and asked bluntly, "Yuqing, are you willing to be my daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhang Yuqing was dazed for a moment, came back to her senses, and asked calmly, "Is my cousin going to kiss me?" Is it a relative of my uncle's family? ”

"Silly boy!" Mrs. Luo smiled and shook her head, "I'm saying goodbye to your cousin Danyang, are you willing to marry my unsuccessful son and be my daughter-in-law?" ”
