Chapter 167
Jiang Changning leaned on the boat, his smooth long hair draped over his shoulders, shining like satin in the sun.

The conversation between Qin Huaisu and 886 made her hear clearly, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty for a while.

She peeled the lotus seeds with her white and tender nails, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, and she still looked ignorant on the surface.

But he made up his mind that if Qin Huaisu asked, he would not admit anything.But unexpectedly, Qin Huaisu didn't say anything after hearing 886's words.

There is a subtle tacit understanding between the two.

Until the sun sinks to the west, the golden afterglow of the sun shines on the rippling lake, plating a layer of gold on the swaying lotus leaves and lotus leaves.

Hong Xing raised her eyes to look at the sun, and it would take some time to swing back from the lotus to the mansion. She was afraid that it would be dark if she dragged on, so she couldn't help walking back and forth for a few steps, and shouted inside: "Miss , it's time to go back."

Jiang Changning heard Hong Xing's cry from afar, and poured a handful of clear water. There were crystal clear drops of water hanging on her slender and white wrists, and the golden light reflected the idle and wanton appearance of the two. She couldn't bear it. Breaking the tranquility, I had to say: "It's getting late, I should go back."

Qin Huaisu raised his eyebrows lightly, got up and picked two lotus pods and a few budding lotus flowers, gathered them together and handed them over, and then pushed a few palms on the water, and the boat swayed towards the shore go.

As soon as the boat stopped, Hongxing hurried over to help her ashore. When she got on the boat earlier, the scene where King Yan flew up with her arms around her girl's waist made her blush, even though she knew the two They have already connected with each other, but after all, they haven't passed the Geng Tie yet, how can they be so bold... I dare not let His Royal Highness Yan Wang mess around again.

Hong Xing coveted Jiang Changning and walked to the carriage. Jiang Changning put Hong Xing on one hand and hugged the lotus in the other. There were a few traces of blush on his face, and he looked a little more delicate than flowers.

Qin Huaisu swayed lazily behind him, looked back when he saw Jiang Changning before getting into the car, raised his chin and looked at her and bent the corners of his lips, the fine sunlight shining in Merry's eyes looked gentle and affectionate.

When he got off the carriage, Jiang Changning's brows and eyes were still bent, he thanked the coachman in Yanwang's mansion and turned back to walk to Jiang's mansion, but met Jiang Luo who was beaming with joy.

Jiang Luo has been having a heated fight with Gu Xiujing for the past few days. When I met him and learned that he would come to the Buddhist meeting, I couldn't help but want to show off with Jiang Changning.

"Where did sister come from?"

Jiang Luo asked the question knowingly, no one would be able to guess the gleaming sign of Yanwang Mansion on the carriage.It's just that it's rare to see Jiang Changning dressed up so carefully. It seems that his fiancé-in-law has no ability to catch him, so he has to work hard on other men.

Jiang Changning walked straight in without stopping, as if no one was talking nearby.She didn't understand that the relationship between the two of them was already in dire straits, how could Jiang Luo cover her face and get close to her.

Seeing that she turned a blind eye to her, the smile in Jiang Luo's eyes faded away, and she couldn't help raising her voice to sneer, "Sister, I'm afraid I don't know, brother Xiu Jing will also go to the Buddhist meeting this time, although my sister and brother Xiu Jing will explain it to me. After all, it is still a childhood sweetheart, and all kinds of misunderstandings and disputes before, it is better to untie the knot at the Buddhist meeting. At that time, I will have a good talk with brother Xiujing, and I have to meet my sister anyway."

Jiang Luo deliberately mentioned this in front of Jiang Changning to insult her. It not only mentioned Jiang Changning's sad things, but also showed that she and Gu Xiujing had a deep relationship, so that Jiang Changning's charm was not as good as hers. He didn't even give her a look.

Hong Xing's teeth were itching in anger, and she wanted to jump up and bite the conscientious second girl, but Jiang Changning lowered his eyelashes, touched the lotus in his arms, and then lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance of the lotus. Her own yard left, leaving Jiang Luo talking to herself like a clown.

After talking for a long time that she was the only one singing a one-man show, Jiang Luo looked at Jiang Changning's back and blushed angrily, her good mood disappeared, and she walked back with a dark face.

"Girl, this second girl is really too much!" After returning to the house, Hong Xing still couldn't swallow her breath, and stomped her feet heavily.

Jiang Changning glanced at her amusedly, and patiently handled the bunch of lotus flowers Qin Huaisu gave him: "What are you angry, go find me a bottle and fill it with water." She wants to keep the flowers.

Hong Xing paused, also, Gu Shizi was old Huangli many years ago, and now the girl is afraid that only the Prince of Banquets cares about him.

……

On the day of the Buddhist meeting, Mother Jiang got up early in the morning to take a shower and cleanse herself, and put on a plain linen gown like a kind-hearted bhikkhuni.

The housekeeper bowed respectfully with his hands tied, "Madam, you are ready."

"And send someone to arrange a horse-drawn carriage to take them to Ci'an Temple and release them to Ciyun Lake."

"Yes."

The Buddhist Association of Ci'an Temple will hold the release of life as usual, because No. 48 of the 20 light precepts listed in the "Brahma Net Sutra" has a statement-"Do not release the precept of salvation", "Buddhas should perform the release of life with compassion. Karma, because all males are my father, and all females are my mother, and I have been born from him in all lifetimes, so all living beings in the six realms are my parents; if you see people killing animals, you should save them conveniently and relieve their suffering.”

Mother Jiang ordered the housekeeper to go to the morning market to buy ten catties of caught fish early in the morning, only to be released into Ci'an Lake to accumulate blessings for the children of the Jiang family.

"Have Sister Ning and Luo'er come?" Seeing the first morning light in the east, Mother Jiang asked the nurse beside her.

Just as he was asking, Jiang Changning walked over with Hongxing. He was wearing a milky white Yuehua dress with a light blue embroidered bamboo leaf around his waist, which was sober and yet aura.

Jiang's mother took two steps in satisfaction and led her to her side, and then sent someone to urge Jiang Luo, the Buddhist meeting started early, so don't miss the time.

I wanted to take the third girl Jiang Changyuan with me, but since the hunt, the second aunt has been seriously ill and needs someone to take care of me all the time.A few months ago, he found a quiet house in Jiang's mansion for recuperation. Jiang Changyuan was quite filial and voluntarily stayed with his second aunt to take care of her illness.She was originally introverted, so she naturally had less contact with other girls in the mansion when she came and went.

Jiang's mother also missed the second aunt when she went to Ci'an Temple this time.I thought about going to the temple to ask the abbot for a volume of the pharmacist's merits and virtues, so as to bless my second aunt with a speedy recovery.

Jiang's mother sat down with Jiang Changning and talked, and sent someone to ask several times. After urging her to hurry up, Jiang Luo walked out twisting her waist.

Gu Xiujing is not the only one attending the Buddhist meeting today, there are countless dignitaries from the imperial court, nobles and wealthy folks, so she has to dress up well.

Not to mention the extremely precious jewel-inlaid gilt silver hairpin and the red jadeite drop bead and phoenix-headed Jin Buyao on her head, she also wore a winding pink veil skirt that was specially ordered to Jinxiu Pavilion. Qi Luocui made soft gauze, and thick makeup was applied on her face, with extremely deep rouge, making her look glamorous and seductive.

Jiang Luo went to the main hall and saw that Jiang Changning had a bland appearance no matter whether it was makeup or clothing, she couldn't be compared to her anywhere, and she was secretly refreshed, thinking that she would definitely be attractive when she came to the Buddhist meeting Everyone's eyeballs, but they didn't know that Mother Jiang's face darkened, and there was already a look of surprise in her eyes.

"Luo'er, what does this dress look like? Why do places like Ci'an Temple and other solemn and quiet places dress like this?!"

Jiang Luo's eyes rolled around, her face still puzzled, and she lowered her voice timidly: "I'm sorry, mother, but I wore it wrong? Before going out, someone brought the dress and I put it on directly. I didn't expect These, but do you want me to go back and replace them?"

Mother Jiang's temples tingled for a moment, and it was too late to ask her to go back to change it. If she didn't go on the road, she might not be able to catch up with the start of the Buddhist meeting, not to mention that there were still a bunch of live fish in the carriage to be released.

Jiang's mother sighed, her face was not very good-looking, she stopped watching Jiang Luo lift her foot and left: "Forget it, let's go."

The carriage had already stopped at the gate of Jiang's residence, Jiang Luo sat alone in the carriage behind, while Jiang Changning sat with Jiang's mother.

Because it is a Buddhist meeting, there are many pilgrims, and the road to and from Ci'an Temple is very lively.In addition to the fragrant cars traveling between various prefectures, there are also various street vendors.

They also sell things related to the Buddhist Association.For example, there are sachets embroidered with scriptures. There are many insects and ants in the mountains, and the sachets are filled with herbs to prevent mosquito bites.

There is no cloud in the sky, and the white sunshine makes people dizzy.It's already summer, and you can still hear cicadas chirping while walking in the forest.

A peasant girl with a silk flower on her head was carrying a bamboo basket with iced sour plum soup in it, which was sweet and sour and refreshing.

The ones sold are also cheap, three pennies a bowl.In addition to the sweaty pedestrians, the girls sitting in the incense car will also wave their fans to ask people to buy a bowl.

Not to mention there are Poria cake auspicious fruit, etc., which make people dazzled and fragrant.

Although there is no shortage of these foods in the mansion, it is also a bit of wild fun to go out now.

Even Mother Jiang couldn't help asking Mammy to buy some snacks.Keep some for yourself, and send the rest to Jiang Luo's carriage.

Although Jiang Changning was sitting neatly in front of Mother Jiang, his heart had already flown elsewhere.

In the previous life, she was hated by Jiang's family, and Jiang's mother only brought Jiang Luo during the Buddhist meeting.Jiang Changning only inadvertently listened to it. After Jiang Luo returned home, she lost her temper in the room. It turned out that she was embarrassed by Qin Huaisu when she showed her favor to Qin Huaisu at the Buddhist meeting.

Jiang Changning took a snack and put it in his mouth, wondering if this time it would be different from the previous life——

The closer they got, the more crowded the official road was.In addition to the noisy sound of people talking in the ear, the deep and distant bell can already be heard.

There is a rather steep stone step in front of the gate of Ci'an Temple.The carriage couldn't get on, so Mother Jiang and Jiang Changning had to abandon the carriage.Jiang Luo's skirt was relatively long, and her face froze instantly when she glanced at it.

She wanted to act coquettishly to Mother Jiang and ask her to find a way for someone to lift her up.Mother Jiang just glanced at her indifferently: "If you feel embarrassed, just take the carriage and go home now."

Jiang Luo's face was ugly, but for the few points left.He had no choice but to grit his teeth fiercely, and swallowed the curse that reached his mouth.

This temple is not big, but it has existed for hundreds of years.Witnessed the change of two dynasties.

The roof of the temple is covered with resplendent glazed tiles, and many immortals are carved on the roof ridge, which are lifelike.The temple profile is surrounded by green trees, flowers and plants.Several bodhi trees in the courtyard are huge, vigorous and straight.

Jiang Changning and Jiang Luo followed Mother Jiang up the stone steps and walked into Ci'an Temple step by step.

A little novice was waiting outside the gate of the temple. When he saw Mrs. Jiang and everyone coming towards him, he hurriedly saluted and chanted a Buddhist name.

The Buddhist meeting has not yet started, so it is natural to go to the main hall to worship first.When the little novice heard that Mother Jiang had brought the fish to release, her face was filled with gratitude.Someone guided the people of Jiang's mansion to take the fish to Ci'an Lake in the back mountain.

And he personally guided Mother Jiang to the Daxiong Palace.

The Daxiong Hall is the highest main hall in Ci'an Temple. The furnishings in the hall are classical and solemn.The walls and pillars inside are carved with vivid golden dragons.On the left and right sides are various Buddha statues of Guanyin Bodhisattva.Surrounded by various incense burners.

At this time, the Daxiong Palace was already overcrowded. Many people were already sitting on the futons in the middle of the hall. Everyone gathered in small groups to discuss today's Buddhism.Some people closed their eyes and meditated, while others talked in low voices, but they were all very low voices.

When Mother Jiang and the others entered the Daxiong Hall, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Although Jiang's mother is over forty years old, she has taken good care of herself and dressed up before leaving the house. At this time, she looks ruddy and has a good face, with a slender figure, and she exudes the demeanor of a noble lady in every gesture.Although she is not comparable to a young girl, she still has an elegant temperament, and there is a dignified momentum in her gestures.

Not to mention there are two girls from the Jiang family who look like flowers.

Someone has already sighed in a low voice: "It's really Luoshen descending to earth!"

Some young men and women looked at Jiang Changning and Jiang Luo, their eyes filled with various emotions.There is envy, jealousy, admiration, admiration, and so on.

"This is the Jiang family?" Someone muttered in his mouth: "I don't know who is so lucky to marry a girl from the Jiang family."

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone in the hall.Everyone looked sideways at the person who spoke.

The man's eyes flickered, and he retracted his head.

Being sized up by everyone's amazed eyes, Jiang Luo couldn't help but feel a little proud, and the smile on his face became more innocent.Jiang Changning, on the other hand, supported Mother Jiang's arm without changing his expression, walked up to the Buddha statue respectfully and offered incense.

The people who came this time were all women, and the hall was a mixed bag, not to mention there were two girls who hadn't left the court, so naturally they couldn't stay for long.

Mother Jiang walked towards the side hall as soon as she finished offering the incense. One of them ran into a noble lady just two steps away.

That noble lady is slightly older than Jiang's mother, but she is well maintained. Although she looks amiable, her eyes are sharp.From time to time, it reveals the aura of being in a high position all year round.

A honey-colored double-breasted gold-collar skirt, a deep red embroidered gold vest, and a beaded jade hairpin, endowed with a majesty that no one else has.

There were two people standing beside her, one was wearing a blue monk robe, the other was a young man in white.

The young monk was not very good, but the man was handsome, with delicate features, red lips and white teeth, and he was quite graceful. There was a gleam of light in his eyes, as if a wise soul was beating.

It was Gu Mu and Gu Xiujing who came to worship the Buddha together.
