"Second cousin, let's not go into the city, go to Yuqing Temple." Tang Mian responded.

"Yuqing Temple?" Lu Zhiqiang was puzzled, "Why did you remember to go to the temple?" ”

No year, no festival, no Bodhisattva has a birthday today, what do you do in the temple?

Tang Mian lowered his eyes lightly and said in a low voice: "Two days ago, I dreamed of Ah Xun, and he said that he was so uncomfortable. I have been uneasy in my heart for the past two days, thinking that Yuqing Temple is the best temple in our Lu'an County, so I decided to go to the temple to light a lantern for Ah Xun. ”

Lu Zhiqiang was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of his cousin who died early.

"Okay, go to Yuqing Temple. It's better to light the lantern sooner rather than later, and when my siblings sit down, I'll hurry up. ”

Tang Mian responded, grabbed the wheel, Lu Zhiqiang saw this and sped up, they arrived in an hour and a half on weekdays for two hours.

When Tang Mian and Lu Zhiqiang arrived at the foot of Yuqing Temple Mountain, it was exactly three o'clock.

Yuqing Temple is built in a mountain five miles outside Lu'an County, a total of 200 stone stairs to Yuqing Temple, can only walk up with both feet.

Tang Mian looked at the stone staircase winding up, and resolutely stepped on it, Lu Zhiqiang put the ox cart away, and followed closely with the kettle and the rest of the steamed buns.

"Brother and sister, do you know about the ever-bright lantern, do the third uncle and third aunt know?" Lu Zhiqiang was one step behind and asked.

Tang Mian shook his head, "I didn't want my father and mother to worry, so I didn't tell them." ”

Lu Zhiqiang nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I won't say it when I go back." ”

"Thank you, second cousin." Tang Mian responded gratefully.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and walked up the mountain without stopping.

When he arrived at Yuqing Temple, Tang Mian lit an everlasting lamp for Lu Xun under the guidance of the monks.

Although it was just an excuse, Tang Mian also really wanted to do it, she hoped to expel the darkness for Lu Xun and follow a path of light.

"Second cousin, I also want to go to worship the other bodhisattvas, let's go back in the afternoon." After lighting the lantern, Tang Mian said to Lu Zhiqiang.

At this time, it was more than half of the hour, and the county magistrate's wife had an accident at noon. I heard that the specific time was when I was having lunch. She inquired just now, and the lunch in the temple was at four o'clock in the afternoon. It's still early days.

Lu Zhiqiang nodded, "Okay, anyway, it's already here, I'll go to worship and ask for peace charms for the children." ”

"Good. Second cousin, let's go, I'll go to the other side. Tang Mian nodded.

"Brother and sister won't come with me?" Lu Zhiqiang's eyebrows frowned, "You are alone, in case you are in trouble, you don't even have a helper by your side." ”

Tang Mian smiled with relief, "Second cousin, don't worry, there are so many little masters in the temple, if there is something, I can just shout." ”

Lu Zhiqiang thought about it, "Okay." ”

After saying that, the two acted separately, and Lu Zhiqiang went to worship the Bodhisattva to ask for a talisman.

Tang Mian pretended to go elsewhere to worship the Bodhisattva, but in fact, he inquired about the situation of the county lady and grasped the movements of the county lady.

Many of the monks in the temple knew Mrs. County Ling, and Tang Mian easily inquired about it.

When Tang Mian saw Mrs. County Ling, she was bowing down in front of the statue of Guanyin, hoping that Guanyin Bodhisattva would bless her with pregnancy as soon as possible.

As everyone knows, she is now pregnant.

On July 19 of the previous life, the county lady went to Yuqing Temple to worship Guanyin, was betrayed by a close maid, fainted in the mountain pavilion, not only poisoned, but also slipped the child she was finally conceived.

Since then, his health has not been as good as before, and he passed away in only two years.

Today is the 19th of July.

She came to Yuqing Temple on this day to save Mrs. County Ling and use her as a backer.

The county order and the county order lady are young couples, the plaice is deep, and as long as the county order lady is not involved in people's livelihood and political affairs, the county order adults are all dependent on her.

With the county magistrate's wife as a backer, it is basically equivalent to finding a county magistrate as a backer.

"Madam, you have worshiped the Bodhisattva all morning, rest for a while!" After Mrs. County Ling got up from the statue of Guanyin, the maid beside her persuaded her.

Mrs. County Ling shook her head, "Worship the Bodhisattva with sincerity, you can't be perfunctory, there are only three Bodhisattvas left who don't worship, and when you finish worshipping, you will go to the small pavilion in the mountains to blow the wind." ”

Tang Mian was slightly stunned, it seems that the county lady's worship of the Bodhisattva has already come out of experience, but I don't know how many times she has been to Yuqing Temple?

"Let's go, let's go to the next room." Mrs. Prefectural Commander gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and took the lead in leaving.

When the maid heard Mrs. County's words, she didn't immediately follow, but secretly rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "I worship the Bodhisattva every time, and I haven't seen a child pregnant for so many years, what's the use." ”

Tang Mian's eyebrows moved slightly, most of the maids who betrayed Mrs. County Ling were this person.

How can she remind the county lady so that she can avoid this catastrophe?

Tang Mian followed behind Mrs. County Ling not far away, thinking as she walked.

In the process of walking behind the two, Tang Mian found that the maid had been following Mrs. County Ling indefinitely, and she couldn't find a chance to talk to Mrs. County Ling alone.

After thinking about it, Tang Mian quietly walked to the maid's side and whispered to her: "Girl, someone is looking for you outside, and I will be asked to inform you." ”

The maid frowned and looked at Tang Mian, "Who are you?" I don't even know you. ”

Tang Mian was not in a hurry, he was closer to the maid, and said in his ear: "That person said that things have changed, let you go and see you immediately." ”

The maid's expression changed, and she glanced at the county lady who was kneeling on the futon and bowing to the Bodhisattva with her eyes closed, and turned to leave.

Tang Mian looked at the back of the maid leaving and pondered, the person who betrayed and hurt Mrs. County Ling was indeed her.

After the maid left, Tang Mian walked up to Mrs. County Ling again and said, "Mrs. County Order, I just saw your maid sneaking up on someone and coming back with a bag of medicine. ”

Time is tight, and she is not sure when the maid will come back, and she has no time to wait for Mrs. County to finish worshipping the Bodhisattva.

When Mrs. County Ling heard Tang Mian's words, she opened her eyes in an instant, and looked at Tang Mian's eyes with scrutiny, "Who are you?" Why do you know my identity? ”

"Madam, I found out your identity only when I accidentally bumped into your maid and conspired with others to harm you."

Looking at Mrs. County's obvious disbelief, Tang Mian said quickly: "Madame can not believe me, but I hope Madame will be more vigilant." I heard your maid and the man say that they would poison you in the mountain pavilion in the temple, saying that they would kill the child in your womb. ”

"What did you say?" Mrs. County's eyes widened in disbelief, "I'm pregnant?" ”

Tang Mian shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard them say that." ”

"Madam, your maid is coming back soon, I have to go, if she knows that I have come to report the news, maybe I will be hated." After Tang Mian finished speaking, he got up and left in a panic, like a woman who was afraid of being troubled.
