Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 27: Qing

After traveling for such a long time today, the pampered women were all exhausted with backaches and were all resting in their respective courtyards.

The monks in the temple are doing evening prayers.

The mountains were quiet and I didn't meet anyone along the way.

Qianxi muttered quietly as he walked, "Did the Queen Mother really not bring any other princes or crown princes with her on this trip, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Is it appropriate for the Queen Mother to bring a group of men with her when she travels?" Ying Xiang asked in a low voice.

Qianxi suddenly realized: "Yeah!"

The master and his two servants walked through the long cobblestone corridor and came to the outside of the main hall.

Ye Wanqing stopped and told the two of them, "You don't need to come in, wait for me outside."

Qianxi said with some concern: "Miss, I'm afraid you'll be alone..."

"Just listen to me, nothing will happen, don't worry."

Ye Wanqing didn't say anything else. He pushed the door and walked into the Xiongbao Hall holding the scriptures.

Yingxiang and Qianxi had no choice but to stand outside and wait.

In the main hall, there was only one monk who was kneeling on a cushion with his back to the door, his eyes closed, and chanting scriptures.

Ye Wanqing did not disturb him, but walked quietly to the cushion, knelt down, bowed devoutly, and knelt aside waiting.

After a while, the monk put his palms together and asked, "Are you here to light a long-burning lamp?"

Ye Wanqing nodded heavily and said, "That's right."

The monk made another inquiring gesture: "Please wait a moment, benefactor."

Ye Wanqing looked at the monk and said, "Master, I have a doubt. Can you give me some advice?"

"Amitabha, I don't deserve your teaching." The monk said, "Please feel free to speak."

Ye Wanqing pursed her lips and asked, "If the person for whom I light the eternal lamp is no longer in this life, can she still receive the blessing I pray for her?"

The monk put his hands together, lowered his eyes and said: "The Buddha's teachings are well understood, and sincerity will bring results."

Ye Wanqing relaxed his brows: "Thank you, Master."

The monk knelt for a while, as if he was listening for some noise, and then he stood up to get the eternal lamp for her.

Ye Wanqing handed over the written name.

The monk took a look and said, "Lu Qingcheng?"

"Yeah." Ye Wanqing nodded slightly and sighed.

……

After a cup of tea, Ye Wanqing left the Xiongbao Hall.

The night fell completely dark.

Yingxiang and Qianxi hurried over and said, "Miss."

"gone back."

Just as the three of them left, a piece of lake blue clothing brushed past the door of the palace.

Having resolved a matter, Ye Wanqing's steps became much lighter. She suddenly said, "There are fewer people at night. Why don't you all accompany me for another walk?"

Yingxiang tightened her thin clothes: "It's windy at night..."

"While there are few people around," Ye Wanqing chuckled and said, "If we don't take a good look around now, we won't be able to do so tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Ying Xiang didn't dare to disobey: "Yes."

The winding path leads to a secluded place, surrounded by sandalwood.

Ye Wanqing had been to Rongguang Temple many times in her previous life.

She was familiar with the route along the way.

She goes wherever it is quiet.

Qianxi and Yingxiang followed behind her, trembling with fear all the way, fearing that an assassin might jump out from somewhere or that they would be bumped into by the guards.

Looking at Ye Wanqing again, she was obviously much happier and not worried about her safety at all.

The three of them walked like this for a long time.

The night was getting colder. Ye Wanqing sneezed and finally said, "Okay, let's go back." Yingxiang and Qianxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way back, Ying Xiang muttered softly: "It's cold in the mountains, and Miss doesn't know how to take care of herself. If she catches a cold again, there will be no wild pheasants or wild ginseng to nourish her body..."

Qianxi exclaimed in a low voice: "Yingxiang, how can you talk about eating meat in the temple?"

Ying Xiang smiled and asked, "Are you afraid that the wild pheasants and wild ginseng have become spirits and will come looking for you tonight?"

"I'm looking for you..."

Ye Wanqing listened to the two people bickering with a smile.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps as light as a raccoon cat gradually approached them.

She immediately became alert and called the two over: "Yingxiang, Qianxi."

The two looked at her with a smile: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Ye Wanqing raised her finger to indicate that there was someone there.

Suddenly, a corner of lake blue clothes flashed from behind a pillar, and the next moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of her, revealing a pure white face.

"Miss Ye, we meet again."

Ye Wanqing saw who was coming and was stunned: "Master Lu!"

Lu Jilian walked towards her with a smile on his face: "It's windless tonight, it's really suitable for a night out."

"Yes." Ye Wanqing responded indifferently.

Lu Jilian raised his lip corners slightly and said with a raised eyebrow: "Just now in the Xiongbao Hall, I wanted to come out and say hello, but when I saw that the young lady wanted to light the eternal lamp, I didn't dare to disturb her rashly."

The Great Hall?
A perpetual lantern with a name written on it.

Ye Wanqing shuddered all over.

She thought that lighting a lamp at night would be a safe bet to avoid strangers.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jilian was also in the Xiongbao Hall at that time.

In other words, Lu Jilian heard every conversation between her and the monk clearly!

Ye Wanqing quickly recovered her composure: "It is said that the Lu family has a history of a hundred years, and there are many rituals and ceremonies. Today I see that it is indeed true. I have already greeted you, so please do as you please, Master Lu."

After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.

The two passed each other, and Lu Jilian suddenly called her: "Miss Ye, wait a minute."

Ye Wanqing ignored him and walked back in the direction she came from.

Lu Jilian stood where he was and said loudly to Ye Wanqing's back, "Chu Anlan came to see me a few days ago."

Chu Anlan?
Why is he looking for Lu Jilian?
Ye Wanqing was puzzled and paused. She looked back at Lu Jilian and said, "An Lan is still young and acts rashly. If he has been rude in any way, I will apologize to Master Lu on his behalf. Master Lu is broad-minded and will not argue with a child, right?"

child?

Lu Jilian sneered in his heart and narrowed his eyes: "Miss, you are right. I really shouldn't bother with a child. However, this child asked a question that stumped me. Maybe, Miss can give me an answer."

Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes: "Master Lu is well-versed in history and knowledge, and even you are stumped. How can a woman like me know the answer?"

"Oh?" Lu Jilian stared at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Being stared at like this by him, Ye Wanqing felt her chest heaving violently.

Even though she was reborn, her aura was still much weaker in front of Lu Jilian.

This person is indeed terrifying.

She simply raised her head and looked at Lu Jilian: "Master Lu, please ask."

Lu Jilian was slightly startled, not expecting her to be so calm. He coughed dryly and said, "Miss, do you know that the name 'Qing' is for the next generation of girls in the Lu family?"

"How would I know?" Ye Wanqing answered coldly and quickly, almost without hesitation.

Lu Jilian continued, "The 'Jin' generation name refers to the next generation of males in the Lu family."

Ye Wanqing curled her lips: "What does it have to do with me?"

Lu Jilian stared at her and said slowly, "The genealogy with the Lu family's generation names is now placed in the Lu family's ancestral hall. Only the direct descendants are qualified to inherit these two generation names."

Ye Wanqing was silent.

Lu Jilian smiled gently: "In my generation, the only direct descendants of the Lu family are me, my two cousins, and my three cousins. And my two cousins ​​have no children yet. Therefore, there are no girls of the "Qing" generation in the current Lu family..."
