Chapter 393. 393. Preparing for Fried Fish
On the first day of March, the Huguo Temple was full of pilgrims early in the morning.

It was the first time for Ji Xiaoshu to come back. When he went up the mountain, he walked by himself, but he always disappeared when he walked. He had a great time playing, and Lao Mu had to go to the nearby forest to catch him back.

Mr. Qin, who was accompanying him, walked unhappily. He liked seeing the lively and cute children very much.There is just one problem, the voice and demeanor of the "Zheng'er" I saw today are different from before, upon closer inspection, I found that he is a bit taller than yesterday, more like the child named Xiaoshu.

But Mr. Qin didn't know that Xiaoshu's surname was Ji, but he was very puzzled, why couldn't two such good children come out to play together, it seemed that they had to share the same identity in front of outsiders?
Seeing Ji Xiaoshu being taken out of the woods by Lao Mu again, Mr. Qin said cheerfully, "Come to my house tomorrow to climb trees."

"Wow!" Ji Xiaoshu nodded immediately.

Lao Mu knew that Mr. Qin had discovered that this child was not Zheng'er, but a little tree who loved climbing trees, but it didn't matter.Mr. Qin is a fine person, knowing that Xiaoshu is deliberately pretending, he will not reveal it or tell others.

When they arrived at Huguo Temple, Lao Mu first took Ji Xiaoshu to the front hall to visit.

In the towering hall, there are several statues of Bodhisattvas, which are huge for Ji Xiaoshu, and you need to raise your head very high to see the whole picture. They are resplendent and solemn.

Pious pilgrims are queuing up to bow down to the Bodhisattva and pray for blessings.Looking at the person kneeling on the futon and kowtowing, Ji Xiaoshu pulled Lao Mu's sleeve and asked, "Grandpa Mu, can Bodhisattvas really respond to requests?"

The pilgrims who heard it nearby frowned, as if they thought it was disrespectful for Ji Xiaoshu to say such a thing in the Buddhist hall.

But Lao Mu felt that it didn't matter, he answered Ji Xiaoshu's question, "It depends on human effort."

Old Master Qin chuckled, "Let's go out and offer incense." He also knelt there and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva to bless his daughter and grandson. He may do similar things in the future, but not today.He is very satisfied with his current life and has nothing to ask for, and there are too many people, Bodhisattva is very busy.

The incense burner is outside the hall like a big tripod. Pilgrims can take their own incense from the table next to it, and the monks will help to light it and insert it into the incense burner.

Ji Xiaoshu was interested in this, but he choked on the smoky smell when he got close.

So, Lao Mu took Ji Xiaoshu a little further away, only watched old master Qin burn three sticks of incense, and then went elsewhere.

"Qin Taigong, are there any gods in this world?" Ji Xiaoshu asked.

Mr. Qin said with a smile, "Maybe there is, but we can't see it."

Ji Xiaoshu's face was serious, "I think Master and Master's Wife are like gods descending to earth, and so is Nuan Nuan's sister."

Lao Mu laughed, "Maybe they are, they just forgot about being gods."

"Are there ghosts in this world?" Ji Xiaoshu asked again.

Mr. Qin shook his head, "No."

Lao Mu said, "Ghosts are in people's hearts."

Ji Xiaoshu nodded, "I know that, only evil people have ghosts in their hearts, right?"

"Really smart." Old Master Qin smiled and rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's head.

The two elders and one child went to the back mountain to see the scenery, and Ji Xiaoshu happily climbed up and down the back mountain forest. When he came across a bigger tree, Lao Mu climbed with him.

Mr. Qin sat on a rock admiring the sea of ​​clouds, listening to Lao Mu and Zheng'er's laughter, thinking that when his great-grandson was older, he could bring him out to play.

The sun penetrates the stratus clouds, the breeze is gentle, the sea of ​​clouds gradually fades, and finally disappears, the sky brightens, and the field of vision becomes more open and clear.

Mr. Qin couldn't help sighing when he thought of Min Rui and his wife who wanted to murder him.At his age, he has seen too many scumbags, but when the "ghosts" in the hearts of people he knows come out, he still cannot help sighing.After all, he watched Min Rui grow up. This time, when Min Rui returned safely, Mr. Qin was very happy for him and the Min family, and helped him to ask Su Liang to heal him.

But in the end, knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts.Mr. Qin didn't know what would happen to Min Rui and his wife when the incident was revealed, they probably wouldn't survive.Because their biggest problem is not to kill Mr. Qin, but the suspected collusion with the "enemy", in other words, it may be a secret operation.

Mr. Qin only hopes that the rest of the Min family will not be implicated, especially Mr. Min, who has been worrying about his son for so many years, and finally looks forward to his return. When he learns the truth, he wonders if he can bear it...

"Grandpa Qin!" Ji Xiaoshu sneaked up behind Old Master Qin, and suddenly reached out to hug him.

Mr. Qin was taken aback. He patted his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Xiaoshu was already standing in front of him, "Did Mr. Qin just think about something? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Old Master Qin smiled and put his arms around Ji Xiaoshu, "It's fine."

After playing in the back mountain for a long time, they were not in a hurry to go back. They planned to eat the vegetarian food at Huguo Temple later before leaving. Ji Xiaoshu hadn't eaten it yet, so he wanted to let him try it.

There are other pilgrims coming to the back mountain, coming and going.

Ji Xiaoshu was playing leaf tug-of-war with Mr. Qin when he saw Lao Mu coming over with some newly picked leaves, "I heard people say that the emperor and the queen mother are coming."

"The emperor?" Ji Xiaoshu raised his head when he heard the sound, and quickly lowered his head again. He thought that his family was also the emperor's father.As for the emperor's uncle in Qian Kingdom, he has already met him.

Ji Xiaoshu's leaves broke first, and Mr. Qin said cheerfully, "Come again."

……

The front hall of the Huguo Temple was cleared because the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were going to offer incense, and the imperial guards were guarding outside, so that no one else could approach.

Duanmuchen supported Empress Dowager Xiao, and glanced at the pilgrims on the third and outer floors, and found a problem: he listened to Gu Ling and came for Min Rou, but there were many girls in his field of vision, and he didn't know which one was Min Rou...

Empress Dowager Xiao burned incense and prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless the prosperity of the country, and to bless both Xing Yuyan and Situ Yao to give birth to Duanmuchen's child safely.

Mrs. Min and Min Rou had just entered the gate of Huguo Temple.They set off after Gu Ling gave Min Rui the needle.After Min Rou's aunt learned about it, she said she would accompany them, and waited for a while.

Min Rou stood on the edge of the crowd, standing on tiptoe, but unfortunately she could only see part of the Bodhisattva statue in the main hall, but could not see Empress Dowager Xiao and Duanmu Chen.

Min Rou asked the eldest lady of the Min family, "Auntie, when the queen mother and the emperor come out later, do we still have to kneel and kowtow?"

Mrs. Min's family shook her head, "No need."

"That's good." Min Rou said.

Madam Min tugged Min Rou silently again, reminding her not to talk nonsense.

Empress Dowager Xiao is going to taste the vegetarian food at Huguo Temple with Duanmuchen after offering incense.

After exiting the front hall, Duanmuchen stood on the steps and saw Mrs. Min's family standing outside the crowd at a glance, then turned her gaze and landed on the girl in white who was holding Mrs. Min's arm.

Duanmu Chen has seen countless aristocratic ladies in the capital, and this new face must be Min Rou, the granddaughter of Old Shangshu Min who recently returned home.

Good-looking, with sharp eyes... This is Duanmuchen's first impression of Min Rou.

Min Rou also noticed that Duanmuchen was looking at her. She was a little curious about the emperor, so she didn't avoid Duanmuchen's gaze, and looked back openly.

At this time, most people lowered their heads and did not dare to look around, including Mrs. Min and Mrs. Min, so they did not notice Duanmu Chen and Min Rou's gaze.

Empress Dowager Xiao saw it, but didn't pay attention, and was soon helped by Duanmu Chen to the Zhaitang.

After the imperial army withdrew and the front hall returned to normal order, the three of the Min family went in. Mrs. Min knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva and kowtowed, and burned incense again, saying that she begged the Bodhisattva to bless Min Rui to get well soon.

It was almost noon at this time, and the lady of the Min family said with some regret, "The vegetarian food in Huguo Temple is very good. I wanted to take you to try it, but today the queen mother and the emperor are here, so I can't go to the vegetarian room. Come again someday."

"Can't we go after the Queen Mother and the Emperor finish eating?" Min Rou acted like a baby, "Auntie, let's go in no hurry?"

The eldest lady of the Min family smiled, "If the siblings and Rou'er are not hungry, it's okay to wait. Then I'll take you around the temple. The scenery behind the mountain is very good."

The three of them took a few maidservants to watch the scenery while walking, and went to the back mountain. Halfway they met Mr. Qin and old Mu Ji Xiaoshu.

Mr. Qin greeted them with his usual expression, and his gaze on Mrs. Min was normal.

Mrs. Min's performance was even more flawless.

Mrs. Min asked Mr. Qin if he was going back, and Mr. Qin smiled and said that he was going to the Zhaitang.

"The emperor and the empress dowager are over there." Min Rou said.

Ji Xiaoshu said with a smile, "Then I'll go have a vegetarian meal with Uncle Emperor!"

Min Rou had seen "Zheng'er" at Lin's house, but it was Ji Xiaoshu pretending to be Zheng'er that day, so she didn't notice anything wrong.And she knew that Gu Ling and Su Liang had a detached status in Qianguo, and as Gu Ling's apprentice, "Zheng'er" had an unusual relationship with Duanmu Chen, and was privileged.

At this moment, a nanny next to the queen mother appeared nearby with two court ladies.

They all thought that Duanmuchen sent someone to invite him when he heard that "Zheng'er" was there, but the nanny went straight to the Min family, "The Empress Dowager invited the two wives of the Min family and Miss Min to talk in the dining hall."

The eldest lady of the Min family was startled. Although her twin daughters were married very well, and many noble ladies in the capital envied her because of this, she had no contact with the nobles in the palace, and Dang even felt that something was wrong.

Mrs. Min also felt weird. Min Rou was a little puzzled, but didn't think too much about it.

So, they all went to the Zhaitang.

"Uncle Emperor!" Ji Xiaoshu called Duanmuchen at the door.

Duanmuchen greeted him with a smile, rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's head, and took his little hand, but his eyes fell on Min Rou, making no secret of the man's interest in women.

Mrs. Min's family was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on.

Both Mr. Qin and Mr. Mu went in. Mrs. Min took Mrs. Min and Mrs. Min Rou to Empress Dowager Xiao, and she was called to excuse her before she knelt down.

Immediately, Empress Dowager Xiao called Min Rou to her side, and asked a few words, such as what she did on weekdays, what books she read, whether she was used to returning to the capital, etc. She also praised her for having an aura different from that of the noble girls in the capital, and awarded her a gold bracelet.

When the cool golden bracelet was worn on her hand, Min Rou finally realized what happened belatedly, but she didn't dare to show anything because of the hint in the eyes of Mrs. Min's family.

Su Zhai was still delicious, but only Ji Xiaoshu and Lao Mu enjoyed it.

The old man Qin has been muttering in his heart, the emperor seems to have taken a fancy to Min Rui's daughter, is it true, or is there another purpose?After thinking about it, he tended to think it was the latter. Gu Ling and Su Liang had already said that Min Rui and his wife had problems, so they must have told the emperor as well.

"Is the vegetarian food not to Rou'er's taste?" Empress Dowager Xiao smiled gently.

Min Rou quickly replied, "It's delicious, but I'm not hungry today."

Duanmuchen interacted with Ji Xiaoshu a lot, and it was natural.As the prince of Yan Kingdom, Ji Xiaoshu didn't have any respect for Duanmu Chen, and only treated him as an uncle who walked with his father.

Finally, Duanmuchen put down his chopsticks, and the meal was finished.

Empress Dowager Xiao and Duanmuchen left first, and before Duanmuchen left, he asked Ji Xiaoshu if he wanted to play with him in the palace.Ji Xiaoshu said calmly, "Let's go tomorrow, and I have to go home to write today, or Master will beat me up!"

Only Mr. Qin and his party and the Min family were left in the dining hall. Then something happened that made Mr. Qin almost lose his composure...

Mrs. Min suddenly frowned and said to Mr. Qin, "Is your majesty looking at my Rou'er... Mr. Qin has a lot of face, can you tell me, my Rou'er doesn't know the rules, if she enters the palace, I'm afraid she will get into trouble Displease the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, Old Master Qin was stunned, and Mrs. Min's expression changed. Even Min Rou hurried to pull Mrs. Min to stop talking.It has nothing to do with whether Min Rou wants to enter the palace or not, this kind of thing can't be said here at all, and it shouldn't be said to Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin has never seen such a speechless thing in his life.He thinks Mrs. Min really loves her daughter, but ask him for help?Where is the face?This one is planning to conspire with Min Rui to murder him!Anyway, he is not dead yet, so he can still be used, right?

Before Mr. Qin could say anything, Mrs. Min pulled Mrs. Min over, "Sister and sister, it's getting late, we should go back."

Mrs. Min also realized that she shouldn't have said that just now, so she was dragged away by Mrs. Min's family.Min Rou also bid farewell to Mr. Qin and Ji Xiaoshu, but she seemed the calmest one.

Ji Xiaoshu sighed, "Does an emperor have to marry many women?"

Lao Mu pinched his face, "You don't need to learn from others, this kind of thing depends on yourself."

Ji Xiaoshu said in a low voice, "I don't want to be an emperor, I want to be a god just like my master and wife!"

Old Mu laughed out loud, and Old Master Qin also laughed, and with a smile, his heart moved, why did Ji Xiaoshu say that he didn't want to be an emperor?What is his identity?
……

Leaving the Huguo Temple and getting into the carriage, Mrs. Min's face became very serious, "Sisters and sisters, there are many nobles and rules in this capital, so you can't talk nonsense like that. Not to mention that the palace hasn't issued an order yet, even if it is issued It's also a grace. It's okay to talk casually from your family behind closed doors, but you should pay more attention in front of outsiders. Fortunately, Mr. Qin is not an outsider."

Mrs. Min didn't refute, she just sat silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

Min Rou was much more depressed than when he came here, "I thought the capital city was pretty good, but now I think it's still the sea... the place we lived in was good."

The eldest lady of the Min family held Min Rou's hand and sighed deeply, "Not sure, don't think about it."

But when they returned to Shangshu's Mansion, they entered the door with their front feet, and people came from the palace with their back feet. The imperial decree of marriage arrived. Three days later, Min Rou will enter the palace.

At this time, Gu Ling had already secretly gone to Huguo Temple, and then returned to Min Shangshu's mansion to succeed Cen Man and continue to monitor Min Rui and his wife.

Mrs. Min couldn't hide her anger, "What emperor, who does he think he is? Just want to marry my daughter casually, it's impossible!"

Min Rui said coldly, "It's not marriage. Rou'er is just one of many concubines entering the palace. I really don't understand what you are going to Huguo Temple for? If you didn't take Rou'er out, how could such a thing happen?"

Mrs. Min became even more angry, "Isn't it because of you? I learned early in the morning that the old man next door was going to Huguo Temple, so I went to look for opportunities."

"Go as soon as you go, what are you doing with Rou'er?" Min Rui was also angry.

"It's about going to pray for you. What's wrong with me taking Rou'er? It's not like she hasn't been out of the house since she came to the capital!" After Madam Min finished speaking, there was the sound of porcelain breaking, "Everything started because of you. It's not that you threatened me and forced me to kill the Qin for you. Nothing like this will happen out of nowhere! I only have this one daughter, and I only hope that she can marry the man she likes, a couple for the rest of her life, completely ruined by you !"

"You blame me? Isn't Rou'er my only daughter? I don't want her to marry the person I like?" Min Rui was agitated for a while, and coughed angrily.

Gu Ling: ...It's understandable. This couple has never been able to be with the person they like in this life, and they are both paranoid about their feelings, so they entrusted their failed love to their only child, and they don't want the child to go away. their old ways.It is true to say that they love Min Rou, but their expectations for Min Rou's future are also making up for and satisfying their own regrets.

After being quiet for a while, Gu Ling heard Madam Min speak again, with a sarcasm in her voice, "Your father, no matter how much you love Rou'er, he has no ability to change the imperial decree for Rou'er. We shouldn't have come here at all this time!"

Min Rui immediately turned back, "It's already here, if you want to go, you go! My father is not capable? Yes! Who is as capable as your father? Isn't he in the capital? Go find him and see what he can do!"

Mrs. Min snorted coldly, "My father loves Rou'er the most, so of course he will think of a solution. I don't care about the surname Qin. The most important thing right now is Rou'er. No more complications. I will go to my father tonight."

Gu Ling: ...Very well, the "fishing" plan has been completed.He went home to prepare some grenades, and "fried fish" tonight.
