Chapter 44
Jiwei was amused, Beibei thought her father hadn't been out much!How could Qin Ye, an old man, accompany these female relatives to go out to pilgrimage!
Sure enough, Qin Ye refused lightly: "Go and play, I have an appointment, and I will go out later."

Jiwei ignored Qin Ye's thoughts, tidied up in a hurry, and took Beibei to go out.After all, this was the first time she went out in this world, and she was no less excited than Beibei!
It wasn't until she got in the carriage that Jiwei's heart settled down.It seems that this trip was a smooth trip.

Except for the servants who followed, three carriages were used to send Wei out this time.In the first carriage were Jiwei, Beibei, Danyun and Mrs. Xu, in the other carriage were Mama Du and other maids, and in the last carriage were some spare clothes, shoes and socks and some possible Items used.The rich family travels, but they have thought of everything, and there is a potty on the carriage!
Because they were concerned about the dignity of the wealthy family, Jiwei and Beibei could only secretly lift the curtain on the car window and look out occasionally in the alleyway with few people.The mother and son, like a child who sneaked out, looked at the outside world with novelty, and praised some ordinary things from time to time, which made Lianyun and Mrs. Xu want to laugh.

Jiwei told the coachman who was driving the carriage to stop the carriage when he encountered a dough kneader.

Jiwei had wanted to experience this unique ancient art for a long time. When the car stopped, she and Beibei got out of the carriage and told the master of the kneader that they wanted a fairy and a small hair. Pig, a little monkey.

The kneader moved very quickly, but Jiwei still took advantage of this time and asked Danyun to go to a rouge shop next to her to buy some rouge powder for her.She wanted to study various rouge gouaches before she could improve upon existing techniques.While it might not be of great use, it was her interest.

Soon, Beibei got the dough man.These doughnuts are edible, but after Beibei got them, she couldn't bear to eat them at all, and played around with them, smiling from ear to ear.

The dough master is very skilled, and the people and animals that are pinched out are very vivid.Beibei has never seen a little pig, nor a little monkey. After hearing Jiwei's words, she kept muttering over and over again.

Jiwei and her cousin Mu Qinglian made an appointment to meet at the gate of the outer city at the end of Chenshimo. Although there was a delay, when Jiwei arrived at the gate of the outer city, she just saw the Yuan family's carriage.

Jiwei lifted the curtain of the car and said hello to Mu Qinglian who was in the front carriage, and did not go down to meet her sisters-in-law. They just left the outer city together in the carriage and headed towards the city outside the city. Go to Yuntai Temple.

Yuntai Temple is located on Yuntai Mountain in the outskirts of the capital, and it can be regarded as the heyday of incense.Jiwei bumped on the carriage for more than half an hour before seeing the majestic and tall temple gate.

Getting off the carriage, Ji Wei and Bei Bei first met Mu Qinglian's sisters-in-law at the gate of the temple.

The Yuan family can also be regarded as a family of poetry and calligraphy, and Mrs. Yuan is still alive today, so the family has not been separated.Grandpa Yuan gave birth to grandpa, second master and fourth master, while second master Yuan only gave birth to a son, third master.

Uncle Yuan is the Imperial Academy offering wine, and his official position is not as high as that of Mu Qinglian's husband, Erye Yuan.

The second master of the Yuan family is Mu Qinglian's husband, and now he is the fourth-rank magistrate.

The third master of the Yuan family is still just a Xiaolian, and he will probably also participate in this year's examination.

The fourth master of the Yuan family was even younger, and because he was a concubine, he was not favored, and he just lived a foolish life.

Grandma Yuan, Mrs. Song, was in her early thirties, wearing a Hunan-colored dark flower embroidered hibiscus and cloud brocade beanie, a light green horse-face skirt, and a high bun. She looked serious and neat. Now she is the head grandmother of the Yuan family.

The women of the Song family in Rongcheng have always been known for their dignity and elegance. Although this family has faded out of officialdom now, there have been several concubines in the past hundred years, and they are still favored today.

The Song family married into the Yuan family, and because she was the eldest son's daughter-in-law and was several years older than Mu Qinglian, she helped the old lady to run the house very early on.Therefore, she is the head grandmother of the Yuan family.

Grandma Yuan was quite affectionate when she waited for Jiwei, after all, she had met her before, and she even gave Beibei a piece of jade.

Second Grandma Yuan is Mu Qinglian.This time, she brought her eldest son, Yuan Chengqing.

Yuan Chengqing knew how to be polite at a young age, so he stepped forward to greet Jiwei without his mother's instructions, and said to Beibei generously: "This younger sister is the cousin Beibei that mother often talks about, come on, Beibei, this is for you."

He gave Beibei a small bamboo whistle that children like, and Beibei glanced at Jiwei, a little at a loss.After all, she was still young and rarely saw outsiders.Ji Wei quickly said, "Thank you cousin for the gift."

Beibei took the bamboo whistle and saluted, "Thank you, cousin." She turned the bamboo whistle over and over, and looked at Yuan Chengqing curiously.She felt very novel about this little brother who was not much older than her.

Third Yuan's grandma, Yu Shi, is about the same age as Mu Qinglian, wearing a vermilion silk silk jade peony brocade spring shirt, and a golden phoenix hanging pearl hairpin inlaid with baolai silk on her head, she looks more magnificent than Grandma Yuan .However, she was much more arrogant, and it was just a matter of saving face to greet Jiwei, and she didn't even smile at all.

Yu Shi is the daughter-in-law of Yu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites. She was also known as a talented person in the boudoir in the past. When she married Yuan Sanye, she was considered a married woman.I heard that this place was before the family came out of the pavilion, and there were rumors that she was going to marry Prince Yi's son, but unfortunately the son later married the daughter of Yu Shizhong Chenglin's family as his concubine.Later, Mrs. Yu fell seriously ill, and after recovering from her illness, she married the third master of the Yuan family.

Fourth Yuan's grandma, Ding, did not come this time. It was said that she was pregnant and could not stand the bumps.Jiwei had never seen this Ding family before, and the original fourth grandmother rarely went out to meet guests after her tire failure, so this bride was naturally absent.

After Jiwei greeted them with a smile, they walked towards the temple together.

Who knew that when they entered the gate of the temple, they didn't see the abbot coming to greet them, only the Zhike monk.

It is also a big event for the female relatives of a high-ranking family to go to offer incense, so Mu Qinglian had already sent someone to negotiate with the abbot to clear the venue, so as not to accidentally collide.Since the abbot got the news, he should come to greet him anyway.

Seeing such a situation, Mu Qinglian's expression was naturally not very good-looking.After all, it was her initiative to offer incense this time, and now that something went wrong, it would be a disgrace to her.

The Zhike monk saluted unhurriedly, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me, the princess of Li County came to our temple to offer incense today, so the master abbot went to entertain the concubine, please go to the jingshe and wait a moment, the master abbot leads After the concubine has finished paying respects to the Buddha, she will come to see all the wives."

Only then did Jiwei realize that she had met the royal family.Originally, they had staggered some auspicious days for their pilgrimage, but they still bumped into them.This can only show that there are too many powerful people in this capital.

However, this Princess of Li County, not to mention in this small Yuntai Temple, is probably in the entire capital. If she wants to walk sideways, no one will be able to control her.After all, the current power of the Prince's Mansion of Li County is not as hot as usual!
This has to start from the generation of the first emperor.

The first emperor's heirs were not prosperous, and his only son died early due to illness. In order to inherit the royal family, the first emperor adopted the second son of his cousin King Yu as the heir.

Li Minzhen, Prince of Lijun, was the youngest son of King Yu, he could not inherit the title of king, so he was appointed as the king of the county according to the system.

Li Minzhen and the current Holy Majesty are brothers, and they were the closest when they were young.Moreover, he poses no great threat to the dragon chair the emperor sits on.Therefore, the emperor trusted this younger brother and was willing to give him real power.This time the patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven was led by the Prince of Li, who killed several corrupt officials.

However, the emperor wanted to make Li Minzhen the prince several times, but he declined all of them.Perhaps it was because he understood that although the prince was noble, he could easily cause trouble, so he wisely chose to keep a low profile.

As for Princess Zeng of Li County, although she is the stepmother, her background is not low at all.She is the daughter of Zeng Qiran, Marquis of Minyang, the younger brother of the present empress dowager.It is condescending for such a proud daughter of heaven to become the successor of the county king.

This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the empress dowager was in charge of the harem, and her status was very honorable.However, the empress dowager was not the emperor's own mother, so if she wanted to close the relationship between the Zeng family and the emperor, she had to make such a good relationship between the two surnames.

According to rumors in the market, this Zeng family is not considered a beauty, and the county king only respects her and does not admire her very much.There is also a Wu side concubine, a Guo side concubine, and several beautiful concubines in the county palace.

However, Mrs. Zeng was not favored, but she was able to bear children. After more than ten years of marriage, she had already given birth to two sons and two daughters.The son she gave birth to had a noble status, so it was no wonder that the eldest son Li Shengyang was always trembling and never dared to slack off for a moment.

When Mu Qinglian heard that she was the concubine of Lijun, although she felt a little resentful in her heart, her face was already polite: "If that's the case, please ask Master to take us to the Abode!"

Under the leadership of the Zhike monk, a group of people walked along the promenade, bypassed several yards, and came to a row of wing rooms.The Zhike monk asked them to sit down in the side room, and asked the little novice to serve hot tea, and then withdrew.
