Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 60 Show of Affection
Tang Bingxuan lost her shyness when Jiang Shunian let go of her little hand, picked up the cup and took a sip, "Well, it tastes good. It seems to have something more than Zhidong's herbal tea? It quenches your thirst more."

The herbal tea made by Zhidong was already very good, but Jiang Shunian's herbal tea tasted even better.

"I asked someone to put a few slices of Limu, a kind of fruit imported from Fanbang, in it to make it more thirst-quenching. If you like it, I will buy more and send it to the Duke's house someday."

Jiang Shunian was happy to see Tang Bingxuan drink all the herbal tea in the cup, and poured her another cup, "This fruit called Limu is sour and astringent when eaten alone, and it goes well with other tea drinks. When fresh, cut it into pieces Put two slices into tea, and the taste of the tea will be different; you can also dry it and store it for emergencies."

Jiang Shunian also pays a lot of attention to the things Tang Bingxuan likes.

Wandering on the street, I came across this kind of fruit imported from other countries. The shop owner said that Limu can relieve summer heat and quench thirst. Jiang Shunian tried to put it into the summer-relieving herbal tea sent by Tang Bingxuan, and it tasted really good.

Tang Bingxuan hates the irritating and hot summer the most throughout the year. With this herbal tea to relieve the heat, she will feel better. Her big almond-shaped eyes curled up, "Thank you, Third Brother Jiang."

Jiang Shunian looked at Tang Bingxuan seriously, but the words in his mouth made people blush, "What's mine is yours, no need to say thank you."

Maybe this is the other side of Jiang Shunian, who is used to saying sweet words to make people happy. Tang Bingxuan, you have to calm down.

The hand he held just now seemed to still have the unique smell of Jiang Shunian. Tang Bingxuan pretended to be indifferent and said: "Yes, okay."

"Sister, we are so hungry." Tang Wenhong took the lead and ran to Tang Bingxuan's arms to act coquettishly.

The five little ones, who were particularly discerning, stayed at the bow of the boat for a long time, and only returned to the cabin to disturb the two of them when it was time to have lunch.

In view of the good performance of the five little ones today, Jiang Shunian decided to reward them. He not only poured each of them a cup of herbal tea to relieve the heat, but also prepared a pot of iced watermelon juice.

The five little ones immediately cheered happily, "Brother-in-law is so nice!"

"What nonsense!" Tang Bingxuan glanced at Jiang Shunian and scolded her younger siblings angrily.

The five little ones stuck out their tongues and cursed in their hearts: "Not now, I can change my mind soon!"

Jiang Shunian became more and more fond of the special little ones and promised to take them shopping to watch shadow puppet shows in a few days.

...

In mid-July, the Holy Emperor conferred the title of Prince Jin on the second prince and gave him a residence. He also gave Qiu Chan, the eldest daughter of Lord Qiu, the Minister of Civil Service, in marriage to the second prince as Princess Jin.

The Crown Princess's father was the magistrate of Huzhou, one of the Three Continents, and was a feudal official; her uncle was the Marquis of Huai'an; her grandmother was the eldest princess.

Princess Jin's father is the Minister of Civil Affairs, the head of the six civil servants; her uncle is the only prince with a foreign surname in the Ling Kingdom and holds military power; her mother is the princess of Prince Mu's Mansion.

The family backgrounds of the two princes and concubines can be considered equally matched in terms of civility and military skills. Ever since the second prince entered the court to take charge of the government, the emperor's attitude towards the two princes has been ambiguous. Basically, the prince has benefited, and the second prince will soon have similar benefits.

When Jiang Shunian heard the news, he thought of Duke Chengguo, who was married to the Minister of Civil Affairs.

Could it be that the Queen Mother and the Cai family had long been planning to marry the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs as the second prince's concubine?
The eldest daughter of Prince Mu was too young to be the second prince's concubine, while the eldest daughter of the concubine was old enough but not high enough, so she could only be the eldest daughter of Princess Mu. In early August, Duke Rongguo approved the invitation for Tang Wensong to be crowned the eldest son of Duke Rongguo. From today on, Tang Wensong is the eldest son of Duke Rongguo.

Duke Rong and his wife discussed that it would be enough to just have a lively meal with the family, and there was no need to prepare a grand banquet. Secretly, Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Duke of Rong, wanted to hold a celebration banquet. After all, her eldest son became the official of the Duke's mansion. The crown prince can also use this to reveal the family's plan to marry the eldest son.

Now that the two big shots in the house have decided what to do, Mrs. Liu can only be patient and plans to take her children to the Great Buddha Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The first is to pray that the eldest son can find a good marriage; the second is to pray that the daughter will be happy after getting married; the third is to pray for the good health of everyone in the government.

The second wife Zhang and the third wife Xiao Shao also understood their sister-in-law's intention to worship Buddha, so they consciously did not follow her.

The weather in August was hot. In order to feel refreshed while climbing the mountain, a few people had no choice but to set off from the Duke's Mansion before dawn.

When leaving the mansion, Tang Wenzhu made a fuss about riding a horse with Tang Wensong outside, so the Duke's wife Liu, her youngest daughter Tang Bingyan and her eldest daughter Tang Bingxuan took a carriage.

The Daibutsu Temple is located in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto, and the temple is built halfway up Dongyang Mountain. This place is the acupuncture point of earth energy formed by the movement of earth veins. It stores wind and gathers energy, which is conducive to practice.

Dongyang Mountain is the highest mountain in Ling State, and the Great Buddhist Temple is built on the mountainside.

The Great Buddha Temple has a strong incense and a long history. It is quite time-consuming and laborious to climb to worship the Buddha in the Great Buddha Temple, which also proves the piety of the pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha.

Because it was not easy to climb the mountain at the Great Buddha Temple and she planned to return to Rongguo Gongfu on the same day, Mrs. Liu only brought Shen’s mother, and Tang Bingxuan brought Zhixia. Neither the twins brought any accompanying maids, and Tang Wensong only brought two guards to escort them, so they arrived in a light car. .

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they ordered the coachman to look after the carriage, and the rest of the people followed Liu and climbed on foot. Although they tried to reach the foot of the mountain when it was cool in the early morning, the temperature was high in August, and even though the sun could not shine on the steps, everyone was sweating profusely. .

Liu and Tang Bingyan were the weakest among them. They rested three or four times along the way before everyone arrived at the Great Buddha Temple.

The monk Zhike welcomed several people into the temple. At this time, there were many pilgrims in the temple worshiping Buddha and listening to scriptures, and some people were queuing up to get their signatures.

Mrs. Liu and her children knelt on the futon and prayed devoutly to the Buddha with her three wishes. She especially told Tang Wensong and Tang Bingxuan to kowtow to the Buddha devoutly.

After Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, donated money for sesame oil to the temple, the young novice monk in the temple took a few people to the wing to rest. Mrs. Liu likes peace and quiet, so she chose a wing as far away from other courtyards in the temple as possible.

After eating the fast food prepared in the temple at noon, several people took a nap in the side room. They planned to take a nap and set off back to their hometown. Unexpectedly, the sun was shining brightly in the morning, but in the afternoon there was a strong wind and a heavy rain was coming.

Seeing that the rain was too heavy, Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Duke, could only take her children to rest in the wing of the Great Buddha Temple for one night, and then return to her home tomorrow when the weather cleared.

After climbing the mountain for a long time in the morning, except for Tang Wensong, everyone seemed to be fine. Although the others had been resting in the afternoon, it was still quite tiring for a few people who rarely exercised so much.

After dinner, Tang Wenzhu and Tang Bingyan, who had always been lively and active, were very energetic, so they took a rest in the private room early.
