Chapter 464 Encounter Outside the Temple
Because they were going to the palace examination, they dared not be late, the carriage was ready outside, and the four of them left their families and went to the palace by carriage.

As soon as Li Yan and others left, Mrs. Li went to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense, where the Bodhisattva is the most spiritual. Before the Spring Festival, the Li family went to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense. As a result, both Weng and son-in-law won!
Because the palace test is the last trembling after nine or nine prayers, the children went to the palace test, and Mrs. Li planned to take the whole family to the temple for the last trembling, and she must not hinder the children in the world of gods!

Mrs. Li bought enough incense money and borrowed the carriage from Jiang's family. Mrs. Xu was fine at home, and it was the palace examination for her son-in-law and grandson-in-law, so she simply took Zhou Hanyu along.

Tanzhe Temple was very popular with incense, and the Li family was only a small family, and they lined up to burn incense. Because Mrs. Li donated twelve taels of incense money, the Zhike monk invited two families to serve tea, and talked about the cause and effect of Buddhism.

Mrs. Li was very happy, mainly because she drew a lottery, listened to the monk untie the lottery, and after drinking tea, she prepared to take her family back down the mountain.

As soon as they left the gate of the temple, the members of the Li family saw a group of mighty people coming outside the temple.

Most of the pedestrians were servant girls, women and servants, surrounding the two sedan chairs in the middle.The sedan chair is very luxurious, with silver and red satin curtains on the top of the sedan chair, supplemented by hanging tassels, it should be seated by a lady or young lady of an aristocratic family.

When Mrs. Li saw the warm sedan chair, she couldn't help but clicked her tongue twice, and said in a low voice: "This must be an official's family. People who go up to the mountain to worship Buddha take sedan chairs. This heart is not sincere, how can the Bodhisattva bless you?"

"Old lady in-laws, be careful what you say, the owner of this sedan chair is an official of the third grade or above or a married woman." Zhou Hanju reminded in a low voice.

Mrs. Li was surprised when she heard the words, and lowered her voice, "You can see this?"

"Just look at the top of the sedan chair. Only officials of the third rank and above are allowed to use silver." Zhou Hanyu explained again.

Mrs. Li nodded suddenly.Several people were talking about it, and the person in the sedan chair had already got off the warm sedan chair.

A woman in her thirties got out of the sedan chair in front. She was dressed in a very dignified way, and she looked beautiful, but her face was a little arrogant, and she didn't even glance at the people around her who were offering incense.

A young girl got out of the sedan chair behind the lady, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, her face was covered with a veil, her beautiful eyes were five or six points similar to the lady's, although she couldn't see the girl's full face, but with that With a pair of eyes, you can also see the girl's stunning appearance. Some pilgrims who have just left the temple can't help but look at the girl a few more times.

The girl seemed to be used to this, she frowned slightly, took the veiled hat from the maid beside her, and put it on her head, blocking the sight of everyone around her.

"I said earlier that someone would come here in advance to inform the temple to clean up the visitors. It's so messy and full of people. It's really annoying to see." complained.

The girl stepped forward to hold the lady's other arm, and said softly: "Mother, have you forgotten, my aunt has told us not to be too high-profile when we go out, and the court impeached our family a few days ago. not enough."

"It's all nonsense from those officials. Your brother just won a few actors, but he was called a bully by them. Your brother has been a sensible child since he was a child. How could it be what they said? His Majesty should punish them all." Your official!" The lady said angrily.

"Mother, Daddy has already taught brother a lesson, so don't talk about it again." The girl warned the woman with a somewhat displeased tone.

The noble lady waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, I understand, let's go in and pray for the empress, I hope the empress' sleep terrors will get better soon."

As the mother and daughter were talking, they happened to pass by the Li family and his party. Li Meier looked curiously at the girl in the veiled hat, and the veiled hat on her head was blown away by the wind.

The eyes of the two girls met, and each of them saw a touch of surprise in each other's eyes.

Song Ziying's footsteps couldn't help but stop, she looked at Li Meier and the others and asked, "Wait a minute, which family are you from?"

Song Ziying saw that the women of the Li family and the Jiang family were dressed like ordinary people, and felt that Zhou Hanju looked familiar, so she asked aloud.

"Mrs. Song, Ms. Song, my husband is an attendant of the Imperial Academy, and I once went to the mansion to attend Mrs. Song's birthday banquet." Zhou Hanyu immediately saluted and replied.

Mrs. Song and Qin Shi gave her daughter a puzzled look, wondering why she would suddenly stop the family, but she was just a minor official of the sixth rank, so it was not worth their mother and daughter's second glance.

Song Ziying didn't care about her mother's doubts, she just looked at Li Meier and asked, "Is this Ling Qianjin?"

Zhou Hanyu was also very puzzled at the moment. He didn't understand why the daughter of the Song family was suddenly interested in their group, but she still answered truthfully: "This is my husband's niece. Father just came to the capital not long ago in Chunwei this year."

Song Ziying understood what she said, no wonder she had never seen her before, she took another look at Li Meier, and then asked with a smile, "My name is Song Ziying, what's your name?"

Li Mei'er was also a little confused about the situation of the girl in front of her. She was puzzled, but her face remained calm, and she bowed and said, "My little girl's surname is Li, and her girlfriend's name is Mei'er."

"Li Mei'er..." Song Ziying said with a smile, "It's a good name. I'm very close to you. I'll write a post for you in a few days. Please come to my house to talk about it."

Li Meier glanced at Song Ziying in surprise, it wasn't just Li Meier, everyone present had expressions of surprise on their faces, they just met each other and said a few words without even seeing her face, so they hit it off, which is also It must be too hasty.

After Song Ziying said this, she didn't stop, and under the astonished gazes of the Li family and the Jiang family, she left while holding Qin's arm.

When they entered the Tan Tuo Temple, Qin asked with a puzzled face: "Ying'er, what happened to you just now, why are you so concerned about the relatives of the sixth-rank officials?"

"Mother, you haven't seen Miss Li's appearance. She is not inferior to me." Song Ziying's eyes flickered slightly, and she said this.

Qin Shi was slightly shocked when she heard the words, she knew how conceited her daughter was about her appearance, if she could admit that her appearance was not inferior to hers, it would be a stunning beauty.

"Didn't my aunt always want to find a beautiful woman to share the favor with the Yungui people? The Yungui people were just diagnosed with pregnancy a few years ago, and now is the best time to share the favor." Song Ziying said lightly.

"You mean, you want the girl from the Li family to enter the palace?" Qin Shi immediately understood her daughter's plan and asked.
