Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 90
Yiqing put down the window screen, leaned on the seat cushion and let out a long sigh.

"What's the matter?"

Mrs. Zheng, who was sitting in the front seat, smiled and asked, "I seem to have heard Yan'er say that the in-laws have arrived?"

Yiqing hurriedly replied: "Yes, my father came from Jiangnan!"

"Shouldn't you be happy? Why are you sighing?"

Yiqing had no choice but to tell the truth: "Report to mother: My father has a concubine who gave birth to two younger sisters. This concubine was originally from an official family. Her father is now a fifth-rank magistrate. Her mother's family is in our Huzhou side. She is very powerful, this aunt has always been equal to my mother, this time I am afraid she will come to Beijing with my father, I am a little worried about my mother..."

Mrs. Zheng said: "A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine. This can't be changed! The aunt was overstepping the rules before, or because her natal family was powerful in the local area, and her mother's natal family was far away in the capital. Now that she is in the capital, if the aunt If you dare, you are a person who does not know how to advance or retreat, even if your mother-in-law is generous, as well as your grandfather and uncle, you and Yan'er can go back to visit your mother-in-law from time to time, don't worry."

After hearing this, Yiqing could only smile and thank Mrs. Zheng.

Today is different from the past, so why worry about Aunt Huang's transgression?She didn't want Aunt Huang and those two concubines to appear in the lives of cheap father and mother at all!
Although it's a bit domineering, her cognition is like this: men and women should be fair, cheap father wants to have a son and a wife, so he can't bring a concubine to follow, what was wrong before, obediently correct me!Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain if I risked my mother who was pregnant with Liujia to go to the capital and gamble on a marriage?

The carriage in which the female relatives were riding was not moving fast, and the last section was a mountain road, so it was nearly noon before arriving at the White Horse Temple on the outskirts of the capital.

When I came to this temple again, I saw that the horse-drawn carriage I was riding passed the rows of ordinary horses and horses parked on the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, winding up the wide and flat stone road built by the temple, and drove directly to the steps in front of the temple gate. Stopped, and immediately a special monk came to lead the horse back to the car. Maybe it is relatively leisurely in the mountain temple today. The old abbot with white beard is wearing a golden cassock, leaning on a Zen stick and personally leading more than ten monks and disciples in line. Greeted from outside the mountain gate, Yiqing couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: No wonder human beings have been fighting for power and profit for generations, time after time. Power and money are really easy to use!This is the case even in the Buddhist Pure Land. If Mrs. Zheng is just a poor old woman who puts two sesame oil money into the merit box, how can she be greeted by the venerable abbot in person and lead the way into the gate of the mountain temple!
After cleansing the hands and offering incense, I had worshiped the Buddha and several big Buddhas in the main hall, so I went to the cloud room in the back to have some fast food. This was the old lady's request. She said that she came in a hurry in the morning and didn't have a good breakfast.

Afterwards, the altar was opened to perform rituals, pray for blessings and avoid disasters. Before the old abbot ascended to the altar, he chatted with Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng and Yiqing for a while. Mrs. Zheng smiled and pointed to Yiqing and said to the old abbot:
"Master Jingkong, this is the granddaughter-in-law I begged for before the Buddha. Take a look, okay?"

The old abbot was sitting on the cloud couch, Mrs. Zheng asked Yiqing to come forward and salute, and Yiqing walked over to give the old abbot a deep blessing. The old monk narrowed his eyes, and his snow-white eyebrows twitched. Sudden light flashes, Yiqing can't help but feel guilty: You can't really see something, can you?You are always good, if you are Fahai, I am not a snake demon, I am a kind woman, an authentic human being!It's not easy to live forever, please don't cause trouble for me, show mercy, and go away, okay?

The old abbot stared at Yiqing for a long time, slowly closed his eyes, and recited a series of Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures, then opened his eyes and smiled at Mrs. Zheng: "That's good! The old lady's good deeds will eventually be rewarded! Young lady is gentle and gentle. , filial piety and pure kindness, the most gratifying thing is that you are born with wisdom roots, have deep blessings, and depend on each other with the little prince, and you will be rich and honorable for your descendants..."

"Amitabha!"

Mrs. Zheng clasped her hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said with a smile: "With such praise from the eminent monk, the old lady will die without regret!"

The big monastery is dedicated to praying for a family altar. Generally, it depends on whether the lamp oil money and the quantity of goods sold by the family are worth it. Mrs. Zheng is bleeding a lot this time. One hundred taels of gold plus 500 taels of silver, plus 200 taels of silver There were several carts of goods, more than the last time. The monks of the White Horse Temple showed all their energy, and they were bound to make this ceremony a colorful and complete one.

Today, there are also a few big families who came to Baima Temple from the capital to offer incense. The women's family members came to meet Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng one by one. Mrs. Zheng invited them to sit around and watch together, and participate in the ceremony , can also enjoy the holy brilliance of the Buddha, and accumulate blessings.

The ceremony went on for a while before Wang Yaozhen arrived.

Gan Song escorted the old lady and others into the temple, and told his assistant to take care of the masters in the temple. He himself rode back to the city with four of his men to pick up Miss Wang. Lord, let Miss Wang greet the old lady and his wife at that time, and just treat it as a chance meeting.

On this point, Zheng Jingyan and his aunt Fang Zheng have a consensus. They think that if the old ladies on the left and right agree to let Wang Yaozhen in, they are considered part of the Zheng family. She must be given a chance to get in touch with her family, right?Casually remind the old lady: Wang Yaozhen's filial piety will soon be over, shouldn't it be time to make arrangements?
Gan Song is only in charge of guarding, other related matters are handled by his own stewards, so he doesn't know what he will do today, and he is used to Miss Wang's coquettishness and the meticulousness of her maids and servants, he dislikes them Wordy, just follow their request and refuse to say a word—Ms. Wang is impatient with bumps, the car has to drive slowly, there is a car traveling with her on the road ahead, the dust is too heavy, and she will stop to let people go Let's go again after a long distance, and it will take another hour and a half to arrive at the White Horse Temple, and find that the ritual ceremony is held in the main hall, and the person kneeling in front of the altar listening to the eminent monk reciting Buddhist scriptures is the man from the Rongping Hou Mansion!

Wang Yaozhen regretted this, she just wished she could beat and scold the people around her!
She is about to marry and become Zheng's wife. It is unforgivable that she should be absent from such a big ceremony to pray for the family!

Wang Yaozhen glared at Qing He fiercely, Qing He lowered her eyes, quickly turned her face away, found Gan Song standing behind, and sent him a gentle eye knife with half coquettish resentment.

As if he didn't see it, Gan Song snorted nonchalantly: What's none of my business?You have brought on this consequence yourself. You have been so slow and dawdling on the road, and you have to pay attention to it. I really don’t know who wants to see whom. Let the old lady know that you have such an attitude to ask An to serve, and see if she will appreciate it!
Wang Yaozhen didn't want to stand on the outside surrounded by many pilgrims and stand on the sidelines. She wanted to enter the inner court, kneel and sit on the futon near the altar, and recite Buddhist scriptures.

But not everyone can enter the infield, and the little monk maintaining order stopped her.

Qing He reprimanded: "It's someone from the Rongping Marquis Mansion, why don't you let him in?"

The little monk was startled, looked back at the altar, turned back again, and said very firmly: "Impossible! Everyone in the Hou's Mansion is there. Look: the old lady is kneeling first, then the lady, and later These are young wives! The two next to me are my aunt and my cousin... I listened carefully, that’s right! Without the invitation of the host, you are not allowed to enter the arena! Please step back a few steps, the benefactor, so as not to disturb the order !"

While muttering, a steward of the Hou Mansion came over and asked softly, "What's going on? What are you all arguing about?"

When the little monk saw the person coming, he felt relieved: "It's just in time for you to come. These two female benefactors said that they are from the Hou's mansion, and they want to enter the inner court to experience the Buddha's light!"

The steward of the Marquis Mansion must have just been promoted, with hairless mouth and youthful vigor, looked at Wang Yaozhen, and saw that her makeup was light and elegant, her clothes were full of good things, and she looked like a lady, but he was fooled by the second door I have never seen such a person before, thinking that maybe it is not known what nepotism relatives are, so I politely bowed and said:
"Young lady came a step late, the ceremony is not over half, the eminent monks are working hard, it is time not to be disturbed, the young lady can take a look at the side, it's the same! If you feel sleepy, you can drink tea in the cloud room of the family members of the Marquis Mansion in the backyard Rest, girls and women will wait for you!"

Qing He was furious: "It's the same if you look at it from the side? Why do those people bother to kneel inside? Use these words to prevaricate us, do you know who our girl is?"

"I have no idea!"

The steward of the Hou Mansion was very uncomfortable with Qinghe's tone and attitude, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he said softly: "Someone has already looked over, you are the person next to the girl, if you don't want the girl to be embarrassed, please back away quickly!"

Wang Yaozhen was stunned for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw many eyes sweeping over her. She hurriedly lowered her head and pinched Qing He: "Dead man, why are you arguing with a servant? Call Gan Song!"

When the steward of the Marquis Mansion heard this, he snorted secretly, and seeing Gan Song pushing from behind, he happily walked away to relax.

Gan Song really can't see it, can that girl Qing He save some trouble?And Ms. Wang, I said you should pretend to meet by chance, but you insist on entering the arena, what do you mean by that?Disturbed the altar, why don't you type it out for the old lady?

It's hard for him to be an imposing five-foot man, how can you say he is handsome and handsome, and he has to bend his back and smash his brows to pretend to be a grandson in front of the master and servant, it's really aggrieved and depressed!
He hated Eucommia at this time, the errands of running the palace have been under the management of Du Zhong for many years, that thin monkey... er, well, absolutely no insinuation of Lord Hou!Just because the Du Zhong guy was banned by the old lady from leaving the palace, this job was thrown on Gan Song's head, it was miserable!

Eucommia is the son of the Hou family, and he followed the Lord when he was young. Gan Song is not a servant of the Hou. Infiltrated the military camp to earn military merits in order to revive the family business, and was incorporated into the scout camp. Unexpectedly, after several years of military merits, he did not earn any military merits. Unfortunately, he was discovered by the enemy when he was on duty. , he was nailed to the tree like a hedgehog, and one of the arrows hit his left chest. He thought he was going to die this time, but he woke up again after falling into a coma. It was only then that he realized that the position of his heart was different from that of others!
Since then, Gan Song swore allegiance to the death, and followed Zheng Jingyan for four or five years. He was born and died countless times, and never complained, but every time he was sent to the palace, he couldn't say anything on the surface, but in private his forehead wrinkled enough to hold a hole only flies.
