Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 426 Process
Li Lijun was unmoved after hearing what his elder brother Li Jianrang told his grandfather.

She didn't even want to go back to Chang'an until the Great Consummation of Qi Refining.If possible, she even wanted to move back to the palace after the foundation was established.However, it is impossible for her to stay at home for a long time at that time, and sooner or later she will move out in the name of cultivating Taoism, otherwise her actions will be too restricted and she will not be free.

Of course, it is impossible for her to tell the truth to Li Jianrang, so she can only use another reason: "What should I do when I go back? It is a good thing that Princess Pei is pregnant, but the most important thing is that she gave birth safely now. Don't rush to call me back. Outsiders There is a play of motherly love and filial piety in front of her. Since I am not her own, I will go back and live in the same mansion with her. Every morning and evening, she can really rest assured? Although I can’t do anything to her and her children , but there are too many people who don’t want to see her give birth safely. If someone takes the risk and puts the blame on me afterwards, wouldn’t I be too wronged? I’d rather stay away and wait until she gives birth safely Now, let's think about going back."

Li Jian was dumbfounded.Among the so-called people who don't want to see Princess Pei give birth safely, his grandmother Mrs. Yang, sister Li Chujun and concubine Li Yanjun must have the same idea.As for the fourth brother Li Wenliang, he is still a child.Li Jianrang didn't even dare to vouch for the attendants around him, because most of the attendants around him were inextricably related to the Yang family. The dowry maid who entered the Sui Palace, her parents and relatives are still serving in the Yang family.

King Sui was very clear about these things.Therefore, he only asked his eldest grandson to persuade his younger granddaughter Li Lijun to move back to the palace, but he did not mention that his eldest granddaughter Li Chujun and the concubine Li Yanjun and Li Wenliang still let them stay at the Zhuangzi in Zhongnan Mountain, so as not to take risks and hurt Princess Pei and his wife. The child in her womb.

But Sui Wang believed that Li Lijun would not do such a thing.The Chen family only has her one daughter, she has no siblings, and she is not particularly close to any brother, and she only has a little more contact with her elder brother Li Jianrang.She had no reason to be hostile to the child born to her stepmother, so she happened to go back to the Sui Palace to be a filial daughter, proving to the outside world that the Sui Palace was still in harmony.

Li Lijun does not intend to be a tool man.She looked like she was afraid of being dumped, and Li Jianrang couldn't persuade her anymore.Because he himself is not sure whether his confidantes will be unfavorable to his stepmother, Princess Pei, and then blame his younger sister.As slaves from the Yang family, it is impossible for them to let the children of the Yang family's daughter and Yang Liuniang take the blame, and the other concubines in the backyard are too humble, and they have no chance to contact the mistress on weekdays. Not even qualified to take the blame.

Li Jianrang lowered his head and sighed: "Then... that's all, in a few days, the third uncle will marry again, so you should go back and live for a few days."

Li Lijun still has good reasons: "I always have to keep my mother's filial piety for 27 months, so that I can attend those festive occasions. I am afraid that my grandma and third uncle can't wait, why let the elders come to accommodate me? I will prepare for it myself A generous gift, congratulations to Third Uncle and Miss Lin on their happy marriage."

Li Jianrang was speechless again.Concubine Dou had already set an auspicious day with Duke Lin's mansion, and there was still nearly a month before Li Lijun's filial piety on that day.Even if he persuaded the younger sister to return to the palace, she would not be able to attend the wedding banquet due to her filial piety, so she could only stay in his yard and listen to the music outside.Even after the wedding, when the bride visits relatives at home, Li Lijun still has to avoid it.Then what's the point of her going back to Sui Palace?

After all, Li Jianrang didn't persuade Li Lijun any more, so he just accompanied her, took a carriage to the newly built Houtu Temple, helped the little girl out of the car, and went into the temple to visit.

He had seen the blueprints of the new temple a long time ago. Now that he saw the real thing, he found that it was no different from the picture. It was built faster and better than he imagined, and he was very satisfied.

He saw the newly erected stone tablet in the temple, and saw that the densely packed small characters in Han Li turned out to be a long essay with four parallels and eight Li. The text explains the origin of the goddess enshrined in this temple and the reason for the reconstruction of the temple, did you write this?"

Li Lijun nodded: "I wrote it. It's not well written. My brother is laughing at me."

Li Jian opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.He often reads parallel prose and has written it himself. He knows how difficult it is to write this style of writing. He never thought that my younger sister could write such a prose at such a young age!Even if it is not considered brilliant, she is outstanding enough as a woman!
Is this possible?When Concubine Chen was alive, he never found that his younger sister was talented and talented, he only thought she was a child who was greedy for food and fun; I have practiced the Tao, but I haven't worshiped any famous teachers?How can the wet nurses and nuns around my little sister teach such a talented girl? !

But if it's not true, the younger sister found someone else to write the article and then signed her name - she can definitely find someone with better literary talent to write it as a ghostwriter.What's more, the younger sister didn't promote her talent at all, and this new temple is not a place where incense is at its peak, so it's completely unnecessary?

Li Jianrang only felt that he really knew too little about his little sister. Did he not care about her too much in the past?He thought that his elder brother was doing a very competent job, but in fact, he just felt good about himself.

Seeing the confused look on Li Jianrang's face, Li Lijun twitched the corners of his mouth.She is not a real little girl. She has lived for 200 years, but seven or 80 years have been spent in various schools. Although she has really not put much effort into literature, if the requirements are not high, a parallel essay can still be done. Squeeze out.Her purpose is just to clearly write down the god name, priesthood and origin of Empress Houtu. Those gorgeous words are all made up, and they are purely used to confuse other people's eyes.As long as the goal is achieved, she doesn't care even if others say that she is mediocre.

She smiled at Li Jianrang: "Brother, why are you in a daze? The auspicious time has come, let's burn incense to Empress Houtu quickly, and pray that Empress will bless you and me, everything will go smoothly, and the family will be safe."

Li Jianrang woke up, and quickly agreed, took the incense handed by the younger sister, and all knelt down to worship.

After burning incense and praying for blessings, Li Jianrang just thought of a question: "This Empress of the Earth... is the God of the Earth? Brother, why have you never heard of her name before?"

Li Lijun said angrily: "Brother followed Ah Weng to worship Buddha and recite scriptures all day long. How often did you pay attention to which gods came out of Taoism? Besides, throughout the ages, there have been many gods and gods from all walks of life. There is very little Houtu Niangniang Temple in Guanzhong. Brother I don't know, and What's so strange? Now that you know it, you just need to pay more visits in the future. Empress Dowager Empress Dowager has a miraculous effect, and if she knows that brother is sincere, she will protect you."

Li Jian smiled and said hello, but he didn't take it too seriously.He has no obvious preference for both Buddhism and Taoism, he just pays more respect to Buddha with his grandfather, but he also goes to various Daoist palaces to offer incense.He may not come to this new temple often, but he promised his younger sister that he will send people to deliver money and food on time to maintain the operation of the new temple.

He remembered that his younger sister had mentioned before that he had found a lonely old man to celebrate the new temple, and vacated a yard as a temporary adversary, so he decided to visit it.Li Lijun asked Lu Siyun to lead the way for his elder brother, and said: "The land around the new temple has also been opened up, and it is going to be rented out to the nearby farmers. Brother, you might as well go around."

After seeing off the interested Li Jianrang, Li Lijun signaled Erhong and Qiuxiang to close the hall door with his eyes, and then lifted the carpet in front of the altar to reveal the hidden door below.

She wants to complete the last process for this back earth temple.
