Chapter 421

Huguo Temple is a bit far away, and it took about two hours before Jingyao and his party arrived at the foot of the temple.

When you reach the foot of the mountain, the carriage cannot go up, and there is still a 99-step ladder from the foot of the mountain to the Huguo Temple that you need to walk up by yourself.Of course, there are also those delicate people who will let their servants carry the soft sedan up, but most of them come with sincerity, thinking that using a soft sedan is a blasphemy to the Buddha, so they will choose to go up in the end.

In fact, Jingyao also had people prepare a soft sedan chair. She was not for herself, but Yuan Shi, who was in her fifties. In this age where the average age is in her 40s, being in her fifties is considered very old. up.

"Grandma, do you want to go up by yourself, or take a soft sedan chair? I have someone prepare a soft sedan chair."

Yuan looked up, and sure enough, she saw a few servants waiting beside them carrying soft sedan chairs.

"I don't need a sedan chair and I will walk by myself. How can such a pampered person who grew up in the soil be unbearable?"

Yuan Shi wanted to leave by herself, Jingyao asked someone to remove the soft sedan chair.

But due to the high level of the clouds, Jingyao and Dalang walked on the side alone. At first, they wanted to be supported, but the old lady was so happy that she didn't want to be supported, and she felt that she was not so delicate and wanted to walk by herself.

Therefore, Jingyao had no choice but to let go, so it was Yuan who took the lead, and all the grandchildren and maidservants followed behind, which was mighty and mighty.

Along the way, I also met a few old matriarchs from other families, but they all went up in soft sedan chairs. After all, they were old, so they said hello to Jingyao and others and then separated.

As for Yuan Shi, after all, he is old. Although he looks strong, he was tired and out of breath when he was in his fifties.So he stopped for a rest.

The sun had already risen at this time, but it was already November at this time, and it would start snowing in Kyoto next month, so it was still a bit cold.Seeing that Yuan Shi was walking and sweating again, the little maid took out a cloak and put it on Yuan Shi. Just as she was about to fasten the belt, there was a scream behind her, which made the little girl tremble and almost threw her Yuan gave it.

"What's going on, you're so restless, you don't even know how to put on a piece of clothing, it's hurting the old lady's skin."

"Yes, the servant will not dare next time."

Seeing that the nanny next to Yuan's was angry, the little girl immediately wanted to kneel down. When Jingyao heard the words, she gave the nanny a flat look, and the nanny was startled.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, just be careful next time." Yuan Shi didn't think much of it, but when she saw the little girl was scared, she felt a little pity, "Come here later and help me go."

"Yes, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie."

At this time, the group of people who made the sharp voice before were getting closer.

It's just that the closer they got, the more arrogant they felt.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't get in the way of my old lady."

"That's right, dead servants, please slow down, don't put the old ladies on the back..."

Jingyao saw that there were two soft sedan chairs being carried among the group of people, and two old ladies sat on the soft sedan chairs, one was about the same size as Yuan Shi, and the other was about seventy years old. A bunch of maids, servants, and descendants followed.

"Okay, okay, you monkeys are noisy, it's inevitable that there are more than 15 people today, let's go from the side."

The old lady at the front spoke the truth, so the nuns beside her stopped calling.

"But Mrs. Liang has to walk slowly. She is old, so she can't make any mistakes."

"It's okay, I'm not that muddy, and the children can be carried in a sedan chair without a cushion."

A group of people came to Jingyao while they were talking, but one was on the left and the other was on the right. It was the mother of the Mei family who first spotted Jingyao and the group.

"Ma'am, it looks like there are people from Xilingbo Mansion over there."

Mrs. Mei glanced this way and it was true. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but she still said to Mrs. Mei obediently, "Old Madam, Princess Pingnan is resting over there. My daughter-in-law is going to say hello?"

Hearing that Mrs. Mei was going to say hello, old Mrs. Mei's eyes flashed a hint of displeasure, she felt that the two were not inferior in terms of rank, but Jingyao didn't take advantage of her seniority, so she should be the one who came to say hello.

Thinking of Mrs. Mei, she cast a worried look at the Wang family, but found that the Wang family were all circling around an old man in the middle, and they didn't look away at all, probably because they didn't notice the existence of their group.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Mei signaled Mrs. Mei to wait.

However, Mrs. Liang Tai had a sad look on her face. She knew that her family was no match for the Mei family, so she said to Mrs. Liang, "Take the family of the old family and the family of the second child to greet Pingnan County Master, and say that the Mei family is in harmony with the Mei family. Let the Liang family come to listen to Master Jiang’s Chan Sutra.”

"It's mother, I'll go right away."

Mrs. Liang is actually only a few years younger than Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Yuan, and she is 51 and [-] this year. However, because the Liang family is not as good as the Mei family, this matter can only fall on her head.

Furthermore, Xilingbo's mansion is more noble than their Liang family, even if they rely on the Mei family, they can't afford it, and they should come forward to say hello.

"Give Pingnan Princess Ann!"

Jingyao looked up, and there were the eldest lady and the second lady of the Liang family who came, but she recognized these two, but she had never seen the leader greet her before, but she thought she could stand in front of the two ladies of the Liang family Yes, looking at their age, they should be two elders, so this one in front of me should be Mrs. Liang?And the person on the soft sedan chair should be the concubine Liang's current wife?
Upon hearing that it belonged to the Liang family, Jingyao keenly noticed that the Yuan family around her froze, and her face darkened.

"It turned out to be the wives of the Liang family. This is the old lady Liang. Today is a coincidence."

"It's a concubine, it's not a coincidence, because today is the fifteenth day, and I heard that Master Yuanji has recently left the customs, and today he is giving a lecture in person. Come, Xin and the old lady of the Mei family came together."

Jingyao nodded when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "So the old lady of the Mei family is here too? That's good. My old lady has just entered the capital recently, and they are all about the same age. Looking back, there are people to chat with."

"Huh?" Mrs. Liang was surprised at first, but she had seen it a long time ago, and then asked, "Is this the old lady of the uncle's house? I have seen the old lady of Xiling before, and looked at the old lady. She walked all the way, so the old lady must be in good health."

Mrs. Liang greeted Yuan Shi with a smile and said hello. When her eyes swept over Da Lang behind Yuan Shi, they shone brightly.

It's a pity that Yuan Shi didn't bother to talk to the other party at all, and he didn't even intend to put on a face.
