Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 32
"Although it is to go to the temple to offer incense, but many people in the capital go there. They are dressed too plainly. When they meet acquaintances, they will be laughed at. Those people are arrogant and demeaning!" Zhang Yushu said with big eyes flickering.

Zhang Yuqing thanked, "I'll pay you back when I get out of the temple."

She could tell that Zhang Yushu didn't have much jewelry.There are so many people in the Zhang family, only this little sister Yushu still has some kindness towards her.

Although Mrs. Zhang advertises herself as a virtuous and benevolent wife, and treats concubine daughters very kindly and kindly, but that is actually the case.

Zhang Yushu's biological mother, Aunt Yuan, usually doesn't go out in the yard, she is low-key and obedient, Zhang Yushu herself is also very well-behaved and sensible.Except for Aunt Yuan who gave birth to a daughter in Zhang's family, all the children crawled out of Mrs. Zhang's stomach, and none of Zhang Zuozhen's remaining five or six aunts gave birth to children.

It can be seen that Mrs. Zhang is very capable.

The temple Zhang's family went to was not far from Zhang's house. When they arrived, it was already crowded with officials and women who came to burn incense. It was so crowded that there was not enough incense in the temple.

Looking at Miao Zhuxi's teeth but not eyes, Zhang Yuqing thought that today's incense money must have been earned a lot.

The people who came and went excitedly talked about the retrial of the injustice case by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion yesterday, and the return of the innocence of a coolie carrying a sack.

In addition to lamenting that the coolie carrying the sack was lucky, and the judge was a wise old master Qingtian, the twists and turns of the story were also mixed with ghosts and gods, and there were signs of gods appearing everywhere, which was better than any one they had ever heard. The plays are wonderful.

Forcibly turning a legal channel story into a fantasy legend.

Everyone spoke vividly, as if the object of the Lord Hades' dream was himself, and as if he had personally visited the scene where God was wrathful and sent down punishment from heaven.

It is said that the storytellers in the teahouse have already had several versions of the jokes circulated, and each script has been compiled in a soul-stirring and eye-catching manner, and it has gathered various routines that the general public loves to hear.It is said that even the follow-up of the parties has been edited, and one of them is He Qi, who is a good-looking talent. The presiding judge was very happy to see him, and after helping him to defend his grievances, he felt that he was a good person, so he married his daughter to him, and the family lived happily ever after. Together.

Zhang Yuqing listened to the people's gossip along the way, and deeply felt that the people are the ultimate creators of literature and art.

Zhang Yuying didn't go out for two days, so she didn't know what happened in the capital. When she heard the words "carrying sacks" sensitively, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She turned to Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu, "What did they say?" , do you know?"

"I don't know." Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu shook their heads in unison.

Zhang Yuying originally didn't expect to get any news from these two wooden sisters, but she just asked casually, and immediately decided to ask her close friends after the incense.

"What are you muttering about?" Mrs. Zhang asked her mother-in-law to ask the temple to buy incense.

Zhang Yuying laughed and said, "I heard from a few passers-by that there was a strange case in the capital, and that the sufferer was a sack-bearer..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhang sneered disdainfully, "The one who carried the sack?"

The tone and expression seemed to humiliate her identity by mentioning these words.

At this moment, the mother-in-law came over with the incense and reported the account to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang complained that the incense money had risen again, took the incense from the mother-in-law, distributed three sticks to each of the three girls, and said: "Kowtow to the Buddha a few more times, and ask the Buddha to bless the princess and concubine to recover soon. Bless our Zhang family with luck!"

When Mrs. Zhang knelt on the futon, Zhang Yushu leaned into Zhang Yuqing's ear and said, "Brother Qian is about to take the provincial exam!"

Zhang Yuqing understood in her heart why Mrs. Zhang was so kind enough to take her out to offer incense together. Many people prayed to the Buddha and blessed her son to be named on the gold list.After all, many people are powerful, maybe the Buddha heard it!
Zhang Yuqing smiled sarcastically in her heart, held the incense in her hand, and looked up. There was a tall golden body of Buddha in the temple, sitting cross-legged on a golden lotus, with a solemn appearance, without sadness or joy, looking down at all the living beings who knelt down devoutly in His Highness .

Does Bifo really work?
Zhang Yuqing was indifferent.

Really useful, why are there so many injustices in this world?Why is it that the wicked enjoy all the glory and wealth while the good people are persecuted and mutilated, and after they die, they are splashed with sewage and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years?
Hell is empty, the devil is on earth.

Mrs. Zhang led the girls of Zhang's family to kneel down devoutly in front of the Buddha, kowtowed a few times and then held incense, praying silently for a long time.

The wives and ladies waiting in line behind to kowtow to the Buddha waited impatiently, and all of them squinted at Mrs. Zhang. If it weren't for the clean place in front of the Buddha, where they couldn't quarrel, the ugly words would have come out long ago.

Mrs. Zhang got up after praying, and put the incense into the incense burner.

The three girls from Zhang's family who followed followed also offered incense.

After offering incense, it was still early, and Mrs. Zhang went to talk with her acquaintance.

Zhang Yuying also came across Shangxiang's handkerchief, and asked Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu reservedly if they wanted to go over and talk together.

The two shook their heads in unison.

"We don't understand the poems and paintings you talk about." Zhang Yushu said sensiblely, "It's no fun to go there."

Zhang Yuying left with a slightly regretful yet decent smile.

Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu stood waiting in the main hall, followed by a few wives in charge.

Looking at Zhang Yuying who was going away, Zhang Yuqing thought it was very interesting, as long as Zhang Yuying was held high and made her feel that she had a sense of superiority over you, Zhang Yuying would be easy to get along with, at least not like her mother, who was full of treacherous schemes and needles. If you poke it, black water will flow out.

A lady came out of the hall with a girl, saw Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu, remembered that this family was worshiping before the Buddha endlessly, squinted and muttered: "This family is so unlucky that there are so many things that ask the Buddha." ? I can’t finish talking for a long time!”

"I recognize that family! There is a girl who got the name of the Four Sisters of the Capital, isn't it just that she can write two sour poems!"

"Fate is good, don't you know? His future mother-in-law is Princess Duanshu!"

"What? That Mr. Lu is her fiancée? The one who won first place in the polo match?"

"Isn't it!"

Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Boring waiting outside, the two entered the main hall again, walked around to the back of the main hall, and found dozens of rows of oil lamps lit up behind the tall Buddha statue, and there was a line of small characters written under each oil lamp, like an ever-burning lamp for worship.

A gust of breeze blows, accompanied by the chanting of Namo Amitabha Buddha, the sound of wooden fish, and the sound of bells ringing in the distance. The small flame of the ever-bright lamp dances, as if a soul really rests here.

Zhang Yuqing watched silently, and called a young novice who was passing by in a hurry, "Master, how much does it cost to offer a lamp?"

The little novice pointed to the oil lamp and said, "Do you want the cheap one or the expensive one? If it's cheap, here, the place in the farthest corner costs [-] yuan a month, if it's expensive..."

Zhang Yuqing said: "It's only three hundred yuan, I'll offer two."

"The family has enshrined lamps for uncle and aunt." Zhang Yushu whispered in Zhang Yuqing's ear.

Zhang Yuqing didn't say anything.

Seeing that Zhang Yuqing insisted on enshrining the everlasting lantern, Zhang Yushu didn't say anything more.

After paying the money, the little novice picked up the cut paper, dipped his pen in ink, and asked, "Almsgiver, what are the names of the two people enshrined?"

Zhang Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "There's no need to write your name."

"Don't write your name?" the little monk asked in surprise.

Zhang Yushu also looked at her in surprise.

"Yes, no name." Zhang Yuqing nodded.

One lamp is dedicated to the wet nurse who once protected her in the troubled times, but was killed by Wang Dali, and the other lamp is dedicated to the fact that her loyal liver was crushed, her bloody life was harvested, and she didn't even dare to give her real name. The adoptive father shown in front of people.

"What a weird person! If you don't write your name, Buddha, how can you know who you are worshiping!" The little novice muttered, still took the money, and lit two lamps for Zhang Yuqing.

Standing in front of the lamp, Zhang Yuqing suppressed the soreness in her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently wished them to be reborn as human beings as soon as possible, and to have a good life in their next life.

"Let's go!" Zhang Yushu tugged at Zhang Yuqing's sleeve and said in a low voice, "When Madam comes over, she will be angry if she sees that we are not waiting here."

Zhang Yuqing nodded, and the two walked to the entrance of the main hall.

At this moment, a girl called out to Zhang Yuqing in surprise, "Cousin Yuqing!"

Standing in the corner under the eaves of the main hall, Zhang Yuqing looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Luo and Luo Danxia.

"Cousin, cousin!" Zhang Yuqing hurried over and greeted with a smile.

"You also come here to offer incense and pray for the Crown Princess?" Luo Danxia asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yuqing nodded.

"So are we!" Luo Danxia said.

It was a coincidence that they were sitting in the flower bed under the shade of a tree to rest their feet after they had finished offering incense and were tired from walking. They happened to run into Zhang Yuqing.

Because she knew that Mrs. Luo was willing to marry Zhang Yuqing for her brother, Luo Danxia looked at Zhang Yuqing with the same eyes as her future sister-in-law, kind and happy.

"Let me tell you something about Wu County!" Luo Danxia pulled Zhang Yuqing and talked about the customs and customs of Wu County. After talking for a long time, she sighed, "Although the capital is nice, I still feel homesick! "

Zhang Yuqing was very moved when she heard it, "I heard that Wuyue is a good place. There is heaven above and below Wuyue, West Lake Qiantang, Yanliu Huaqiao, and the three-autumn osmanthus and ten-mile lotus. I have only heard of it, and I have never been lucky enough to see it. .”

"Go! Come with us!" Luo Danxia looked at Zhang Yuqing and smiled meaningfully.

Zhang Yuqing smiled and said, "Auntie, would you like to take me to Wu County?"

Mrs. Luo winked at the left and right, and the daughter-in-law in charge said that she would take Luo Danxia around the temple, leaving only her and Mrs. Luo.

"Aunt Biao..." Zhang Yuqing stood up with some trepidation, wondering if what she said just now had overstepped the point, and Madam Luo had some bad associations.

Mrs. Luo held Zhang Yuqing's hand and sat down, looked at her with a kind smile, and asked straightforwardly: "Yuqing, would you like to be my daughter-in-law?"

Zhang Yuqing was at a loss for a moment, then came back to her senses, and asked calmly, "Auntie, is she going to marry me? Is she a relative of my uncle's family?"

"Stupid child!" Mrs. Luo smiled and shook her head, "I'm talking to your cousin Dan Yang, are you willing to marry my worthless son and be my daughter-in-law?"
