Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 452 Road Encounters
Li Lijun didn't know the conversation between Princess Pei and Zheng Yuchai.When the king of Sui decided to take Li Chujun and his brother back to the mansion of the king of Sui, but replaced the people serving them and restricted their activity area, she stopped paying attention to this matter.

The day to go to Da Ci'en Temple to pay respects to the Buddha was coming soon, she took Er Hong and others with great interest, and went out in a carriage with Sui Wang and his wife.

They also went to Da Ci'en Temple with their third aunt Lin Sanniang, aunt Li Wanzhi, head of Pingdu County, elder brother Li Jianrang, second sister Li Huijun, and Zheng's brothers and sisters.Jin Ru's doll suffered from the cold, so her second aunt Wang stayed to take care of her. The two uncles had their own jobs and couldn't be free.As for the two cousins ​​of the second room, King Sui thought they were too noisy and refused to bring them along, so they could only have fun by themselves.

It was Princess Pei's intention that the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family would accompany them.She wanted to stay in the Sui Palace to raise her baby, but she asked her stepson Li Jianrang and stepdaughter Li Lijun to accompany her two children. Li Jianrang agreed, but Li Lijun didn't refuse.But she would never let Zheng Yuchai entangle her. She still has her own things to do in Da Ci'en Temple.

A group of people rode horses and sat in carts, exited the west gate of Daozhengfang, and then turned to walk south along the avenue.Jinchangfang, where the Da Ci'en Temple is located, is already considered a suburb, and it is even more remote than Shengdaofang, where Youguan is located.Li Lijun was sitting in a carriage, and Zheng Yuchai was in the same carriage. The two were neither familiar nor congenial in temperament.Li Lijun simply closed his eyes and rested his mind. In fact, he used the system to control the drone in the sky to observe the terrain of Jinchangfang, so as to find the location of the Xiuxian Market near the Da Ci'en Temple.

In broad daylight, the drone was condescending, and could clearly see the streets and houses in the whole workshop, but there was nothing like a Xiuxian Fair anywhere.Is there a hidden space around the Da Ci'en Temple, or does a certain street change its appearance at night?
Li Lijun remembered Erhong's way of entering the market that Erhong had inquired from Pi Qiuke's wife in advance, and secretly planned his actions at night.

Near noon, they finally arrived at their destination.The abbot of Da Ci'en Temple, who had received the letter in advance, led several monks to welcome them out of the gate. King Sui and his family greeted them politely.

The King of Sui is not a showy person, he came here specially today to pay respects to the Buddha, and he did not specifically ask the temple to clear the venue, so today he could meet other pilgrims in the Daci'en Temple, but no one saw the ostentation of the King Sui's mansion. Dare to move forward.

Li Lijun walked in the ranks of her family very low-key, chatting with her aunt Li Wanzhi and cousin Li Huijun from time to time.The latter two occasionally chatted with Zheng Yuchai, but they didn't neglect them.This made Zheng Yuchai a little relieved, and when he started to think about going back to the house, could he discuss with the county magistrate or the second lady, and change the car with one of them?If you continue to ride in the same car with Si Niangzi, it will be really uncomfortable!

Zheng Yuchai was thinking wildly, when Leng Weiwei caught a glimpse of a familiar figure appearing at the fork in the road ahead, her complexion changed suddenly.

How could grandma be here? !She is obviously staying in her hometown, but she has never heard that she is going to Beijing? !
Zheng Yuchai was a little panicked, and subconsciously went to find her brother Zheng Wen.But Zheng Wen has been with Li Jianrang all the time, and at this time he has followed the Sui Wang couple and walked far ahead.The young ladies walked slowly, stopped and walked, chatted while watching the scenery, and fell far behind the big troops.Although there were quite a few entourages and monks from Da Ci'en Temple accompanying her at this time, if Mrs. Zheng found her, her own granddaughter, she would not even have an elder who could support her.

What is she going to do?Hurry up and send the maid to inform your brother, okay? !

Zheng Yuchai immediately winked at the maid beside her.The maid also saw Mrs. Zheng, she bowed her head solemnly and walked quickly, chasing the large troops ahead.

Li Lijun noticed the movement, turned around to look at Zheng Yuchai, and followed her gaze to the fork next to the road. He saw an old woman dressed expensively, with a serious expression, a bit mean between her eyebrows, and a chin. But she looks like Zheng Yuchai, so she somewhat guesses the identity of the old lady.

Li Lijun slowed down a little, seemingly unintentionally.Li Wanzhi and Li Huijun, who were chatting happily, didn't notice that they were asking the monk who led the way, asking about various allusions in the Da Ci'en Temple, especially the place where Master Xuanzang once lived.

Zheng Yuchai met Mrs. Zheng's eyes as she was walking, and stopped involuntarily.She knew that she should move on and not talk to her grandmother, but years of upbringing told her not to be so rude.How can a granddaughter ignore her elders when she meets her own grandmother?At least you have to come forward to say hello, and you can only leave with the permission of the elders.If the elders don't allow it, she has to follow the other party to listen to the training.This is the teaching she received in the Zheng family, and it has long been engraved in her bones.Even if she knew it was impossible to do so, she couldn't step out with her feet.

At this time, Li Lijun turned her head and asked her impatiently: "Why don't you leave? Follow up quickly! You are not afraid of getting lost, you will get lost in the temple in a while!"

Zheng Yuchai woke up suddenly, and told herself that the little lady in the palace is a nobleman, and if the nobleman has spoken, she should obey her orders.So she went on.Although Li Lijun spoke to her in a bad tone, she was still very grateful, at least Li Lijun gave her a reason to leave.

But something she didn't want happened happened.Mrs. Zheng saw that she continued to walk forward, and her face became more serious. She helped the maid and walked towards them, and let the maid stop her: "Miss Fourteen, the old lady is here, don't you come to see the ceremony?" Is it?"

Zheng Yuchai had to stop again, not daring to look at Li Lijun's expression, she lowered her head and walked a few steps in the direction of Mrs. Zheng, bowed her knees and called her "grandmother" after a distance of one foot.

Mrs. Zheng said with a straight face: "You have forgotten etiquette in less than two years. How did your mother teach you?! Is this how Princess Huo taught her daughter?!"

The old lady scolded Princess Huo with her mouth open, and Li Lijun naturally couldn't turn a blind eye.She asked Zheng Yuchai: "Who is this old man? You speak so loudly."

Zheng Yuchai just felt ashamed in front of Li Lijun: "This is... this is my grandmother Mrs. Zheng..."

"Oh..." Li Lijun intentionally elongated her voice, "I don't know who it is, it turned out to be your father's mother."

Mrs. Zheng looked at Li Lijun, still with a straight face: "This must be the little lady of the Sui Palace, right? Today, I came to Da Ci'en Temple to worship the Buddha. I never thought that I would run into a little lady by chance. This is also a rare fate. The old man I haven't seen my grandchildren for a long time, and I miss them very much. I think the little lady won't mind walking with her old age, so that she can part ways with her grandchildren?"

Li Lijun twitched the corners of her mouth: "I'm sorry, I don't mind. I came to Da Ci'en Temple to pray for my deceased mother. I just want to stay with my family in peace and quiet. I really don't have the time to socialize with outsiders. Please forgive me." She glanced at Zheng Yuchai, "Let's go." Then she turned and left.

Zheng Yuchai was stunned.

Although my mother once mentioned that Li Lijun can protect her by speaking tough, but the current situation... is it so rigid?really no problem?
