Chapter 629
When it came time to make an appointment with Aunt Xiao to go to Daxingshan Temple in Jingshanfang to offer incense, Lin Wanwan got up early in the morning, sat in front of the dressing table slowly, and Hongyan combed her hair.

In the middle of dressing up, Sun Heyao asked to see him outside.

"Come in."

Sun Heyao bowed into the room, took a few steps forward to salute Lin Wanwan, and then said: "Lady, I have already found out that Mrs. Wu from Duke Song's mansion is also going to offer incense today.

Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows and said: "Well, this cheap aunt is determined to use me as a ladder to get close to the Song Guogong's mansion. Have you found out what is the relationship between them?"

"Go back to my wife, I found out, Uncle Da Da is a member of the Yu Department, Wailang, and the father of Xiao Mingfu is a member of the Yu Department."

Lin Wanwan snorted and said, "So it's the immediate boss, no wonder he tried every means to socialize."

As long as you have enough money, it is not difficult to sniff out these news.Because the nobles of the Tang Dynasty had to make an appointment in advance wherever they went, it was the same for these female family members who came out to offer incense, and they had already informed the temple.

As long as you have an appointment, you can find out if you want to.

Going to Shangxiang today, Xiao Yixun didn't like to go out as always, Xiao Qingyu really wanted to follow, but Lin Wanwan didn't just go for fun today, there were also difficult people to deal with, so naturally it was inconvenient to take her with her, so she was left at home Go to class.

With a group of maids and servants, Lin Wanwan set off on horseback with a carriage.

The horse-drawn carriage was intended to be used after entering Chang'an City, for the sake of ostentation; the Dawan horse was used for riding outside the city, for the sake of comfort.

If you have money, you can travel in more ways.

It was already the end of the day when queuing up to enter Chang'an City, Lin Wanwan changed the carriage and went straight to Daxingshan Temple in Jingshanfang.

Aunt Xiao, her sister-in-law Xu, her daughter-in-law Sun, and Aunt Pang's family have already arrived at the square in front of the temple to wait for Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan's carriage arrived late, and Aunt Xiao gave it a good meal.

It's just that it's inconvenient to live outside the city, so I should have come to the city to look for them last night.

Lin Wanwan smiled and said that it wasn't that she didn't want to live in their house, but that there were too many servants and the house was too small, and she couldn't bear to embarrass her relatives, which made the Pang family angry.

What does this mean? Is this a dislike for the small and shabby place where I live?

One must know that this is inside Chang'an City, how can the manor in the countryside be compared?
It's like the rural self-built houses in the modern capital are not the same as the old and dilapidated ones within the second ring road.The value is not judged by the size, the location determines everything.

But the reason why Aunt Xiao cares so much is actually because she subconsciously feels that the place where she lives now is too shabby, and it is easy for Lin Wanwan to poke the pain point.

But in order to complete the KPI for their son's money catcher, they had to huddle with the Uncle Uncle's family to save money, so they were extremely sensitive to others' opinions on housing matters.

After a few words of yin and yang ecstasy with each other, the Xu family smoothed things over, and after each other died down, they entered the majestic and majestic Daxingshan Temple.

Today, Mrs. Xu is here for Xiao Kaizhi's successor, Mrs. Wu (Xiao Chong's stepmother), and she has to use Lin Wanwan, Xiao Chong's fiancée, as a bridge, so naturally it is not appropriate to have unnecessary disputes with her.

Daxingshan Temple was built in the Sui Dynasty. It is the largest temple in Chang'an City. It occupies an area of ​​one square. The main hall is comparable to the imperial temple.

There are more than 200 halls, meditation rooms, and monks' dormitories in the temple, and it is very popular.

Walking into the temple, the sky is filled with smog, and it is full of good men and women who come to offer incense and pray, which shows the prosperity of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.

Although the emperor claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu and Li Er, he respected Taoism more.But Taoism is not down-to-earth since its complicated and profound scriptures, and it seems that it only follows the upper-level route, which is naturally less prosperous than the Buddhist temples that follow the common people's route.

Lin Wanwan and her party brought a large number of servants into the temple, so naturally they would not crowd together with the general public to offer incense. A monk with a smile on his face greeted them and guided them.

Buddha saves a predestined person, what is a "destined person"?
Of course, it is someone who can generously donate sesame oil money (Kaiyuan Tongbao).

Going to the Western Paradise to seek the scriptures from the Buddha can't just rely on sincerity, but three buckets and three liters of gold.

It's even worse in modern times. To listen to the Great Compassion Mantra on music software, you have to open a VIP.

Lin Wanwan's business is all from the gentry class, with silk and satin on her body, she can be seen as a man of Yuan Dynasty at first glance, and the Zhike monk is naturally happy.

Lin Wanwan is the kind of person who worships whatever gods she goes to, does not have a single belief, and loves gods and Buddhas at the same time, and worships whenever she passes by anyway.

Believe it or not, follow your heart.

Believe in the good, feudal superstition in the bad.

Today, in the Buddhist scripture hall in Daxingshan Temple, there are still Indian monks giving lectures.Because Buddhism originated in Tianzhu, there were a lot of Tianzhu monks in Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty, all of whom came to translate scriptures and preach.

Of course, they are also translating scriptures. These Indian monks are still different from Tang Xuanzang who is still struggling to learn scriptures.

Tang Xuanzang is a living map of the Western Regions. From the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, he didn't go directly to the south, but he walked around the entire Western Regions before going south.

His value does not lie in mere Buddhist scriptures, so his status is far beyond that of ordinary monks.

Lin Wanwan knew two well-known monks in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzang, and the monk Bianji who had an affair with Princess Gaoyang, but she didn't know anything about the rest.

Naturally, the two of them would not be in Daxingshan Temple, and Lin Wanwan would not be able to see them.

Of these two famous monks through the ages, one is traveling westward with difficulty while recording the customs and landforms of the Western Regions, and the other has not yet begun to reincarnate as a human being.

Because there was no purpose, Lin Wanwan worshiped very casually, bought a lot of incense, and worshiped gods and Buddhas whenever she saw them.

Anyway, if you can't worship, you will suffer, and you can't be fooled. It is okay to ask her to worship on incense, but it is absolutely impossible to ask her to donate sesame oil money.

On the contrary, the female family members of the Pang family, who are very frugal in daily life, are all very pious, and they have given a lot of money for sesame oil.

After the incense was burnt, the Zhike monk arranged for everyone to go to the meditation room at the back which was reserved for noble women to rest.

Lin Wanwan knew that the big drama was about to start.

She coughed lightly and said, "Auntie, I won't go to the meditation room. It's rare to come to Daxingshan Temple. I'm not tired at all. I still have to look around. You can do whatever you want."

Aunt Xiao and Mrs. Xu hurriedly tried to pull her away, but they were stopped by Jiyue, Caiyun and others who had already received orders.

After Lin Wanwan finished saying this, she brought Hongyan, Fuling and other maids into the crowded crowd of faithful men and women.

Accompany incense, she has already accompanied.As for the others, hehe, don't try to use her.

In fact, Lin Wanwan was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that, as the second mistress of the Xiao family, she can go to Jidu Temple to offer incense in a royal nun temple, so why would she come to this temple where fish and dragons are mixed together?

Is it because the gods and Buddhas here are more aura?
