Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 86 Destiny sometimes has to be

A row of burning ever-burning lamps is enshrined in front of the golden Buddha in the Daxiong Hall, and there is a small copper piece engraved with a person's name in front of each ever-burning lamp.

Relying on his childhood memory, Jiang Jinyan found the long-burning lamp on the far left. The lamp oil in it was almost bottomed out, and the flame was much weaker.

The rule of Baohua Temple is that no sesame oil is added after death, and the eternal lamp will be extinguished soon.

She took a step closer, and sure enough, the handwriting on the small copper plate was still clearly visible - Fang Shi Wanjun.

Jiang Jinyan's eyes were red, and he knelt down in front of the ever-burning lamp, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the ever-burning lamp.

Ever since she woke up in her mother's mourning hall, she always felt that she could live this life again, and it was her mother's spirit in heaven that protected her.

She murmured in a low voice: "Mother, my daughter will definitely not let me live in vain in this life, and I will never let you down again. Have you seen that? Brother Cheng is also here... He is doing well... Daughter I will take good care of him and won't make you worry anymore..."

After she finished speaking, she got up slowly, and looked at Xiao Jincheng in Lianchun's arms.

Xiao Jincheng seemed to have a sense of being in the Daxiong Palace, with a pair of big eyes just staring at the front, not crying, just quietly.

Xueyan glanced at Madam's ever-burning lamp and said, "Miss, is Madam's ever-burning lamp about to go out?"

After saying this, Xue Yan's eyes also turned red. Madam has been dead for three months.

Jiang Jinyan looked at the little lamp oil left in the lamp and felt a little nervous.

"Miss, why don't you add some sesame oil money for Madam..."

Jiang Jinyan pursed her lips and remained silent. If possible, she also hoped that the light would stay on forever, just like her mother was still there.

A vicissitudes voice sounded like a deep pool behind him, "Amitabha, death is like a lamp being extinguished, why bother to force it when the world is over."

Jiang Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then turned around to see a rather old monk in cassock and holding a Zen staff.

She quickly put her hands together and bowed her head respectfully.

"Master, don't blame me. It's my daughter who shouldn't have such greed and disturb the cleanliness of the Buddhist temple."

Seeing what Jiang Jin said, Yu Mo, Xue Yan and others also bowed their heads and saluted.

The monk's expression remained unchanged, and he only said: "Everyone has thoughts of greed and hatred, so who can be blamed? Almighty, life and death are destiny, and I hope to understand it as soon as possible."

Jiang Jinyan was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Maybe you are Master Wuming?"

Master Wuming glanced at the ever-burning lamp she was kneeling on, and then at her face, and he knew it.

"My monk's name is Wuming."

Jiang Jinyan nodded slightly and said, "Master, my mother comes to Baohua Temple to pray and worship every year. She respects Master very much."

Wuming closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, "The benefactor can take the younger brother and the old monk to the meditation hall."

Yu Mo and Xue Yan looked at Jiang Jinyan suspiciously when they heard what he said.

Jiang Jinyan nodded, stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Jincheng in Lianchun's hand, and said to Yu Moxueyan and the others: "Just wait here for me."

After speaking, Jiang Jinyan followed Master Wuming to the meditation hall.

Sitting trembling behind the long wooden table, Master Wu Ming took out two high-quality jade rings from his sleeves.

He asked: "Can the benefactor recognize these two jade rings?"

Jiang Jinyan hugged Xiao Jincheng in her arms and sat down on her knees. She saw Master Wuming take out two jade rings, so she looked carefully at the two crystal clear white jade rings on the table.

She frowned, the color and quality of the white jade ring were of high quality, but it was very unfamiliar.

She shook her head, raised her head and said to Master Wuming: "My little girl doesn't know these two jade rings, how dare I ask Master what is the allusion to this jade ring?"

Master Wuming looked at the white jade ring and said, "Benefactor, Mrs. Jiang has been to Baohua Temple for more than half a year. She handed these two jade rings to the old monk, hoping that the old monk can chant for her every day in front of the Buddha. Mrs. Jiang once I said that I will give these two jade rings to her daughter and the unborn child in her womb in the future."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the two jade rings towards Jiang Jinyan. The sound of the jade rings passing across the mahogany table fell heavily on Jiang Jinyan's heart.

Jiang Jinyan froze in place immediately, and remained silent for a long time.

More than half a year ago, when my mother was just pregnant... At that time, I was extremely confused, but my mother was never angry, and always taught myself patiently...

It turned out that my mother had already left these two jade rings for herself and Brother Cheng at that time.

But the mother probably didn't expect that she would pass away due to dystocia, and the jade ring didn't have time to hand it over to herself and Brother Cheng...

Master Wuming continued: "Benefactor, Mrs. Jiang entrusted me to recite these two jade rings in front of the Buddha for half a year, so as to protect her child's life forever."

Jiang Jinyan smiled and wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and hung one of the jade rings around Brother Cheng's neck.

Jin Cheng, did you hear that, mother wants to protect you forever...

Xiao Jincheng grinned and stretched out his white and tender hands to reach the jade ring on his chest, holding the jade peacefully and not letting go.

Jiang Jinyan was stunned, and almost blurted out, "Master, life and death are destiny, everything is preordained?"

"The donor already has the answer in his heart."

Speaking of which, Master Wuming closed his eyes and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

Jiang Jinyan looked at his calmness at this moment, and the uneasiness in his heart about reliving his life gradually calmed down.

Have an answer in mind?

She forced a smile and shook her head slightly. Although she couldn't comprehend it at the moment, since Master Wu Ming said so, one day she will understand it.

She gently picked up another piece of jade ring on the table, bowed her head for a salute, and then left the meditation hall with Xiao Jincheng in her arms.

Master Wu Ming opened his eyes slightly after she turned around, and murmured: "Sometimes in life, there must be something."

Jiang Jinyan was blinded by the sunlight after leaving the somewhat dark meditation hall, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

After the jade ring in his hand was cool for a while, it gradually took on the warmth of his palm.

She looked at Xiao Jincheng in her arms with a smile, and there seemed to be only a smile in his innocent eyes.

When Yu Mo and Xue Yan saw their young lady came back, they hurriedly helped to hug the young master. After all, the young master had already weighed a lot, and they couldn't stand holding him for a long time.

Xueyan's eyes were sharp, and she had already seen the white jade ring hanging around Xiao Jincheng's neck.

"Miss, this jade ring is..."

Jiang Jinyan smiled lightly and said, "My mother left this to Cheng Geer and me."

Xueyan was stunned for a while, "Ma'am... stayed in Baohua Temple?"

Jiang Jinyan nodded, "Mother came to Baohua Temple half a year ago."

After the Su Zhai, the ceremony for the Fang family lasted until the time of Xu, and when it was time to leave, the sky became a little dark.

Outside the temple gate, Jiang Jinyan clasped his hands together and said to a young novice, "You don't need to give it away anymore, little master."

After the little novice saluted, he turned around and entered Baohua Temple, and closed the courtyard gate.

Jiang Jinyan told Lianchun and others to carefully protect Xiao Jincheng down the mountain.

Indeed, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. Jiang Jinyan also lost his strength after going down the long stairs.

Xue Yan helped her into the carriage, and the other maids got into the carriage behind them.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and when it reached the corner of the pine forest, a big tree as thick as two people hugging each other seemed to have fallen down, lying on the road, blocking the way of the carriage.

Seeing the carriage stop, Jiang Jinyan raised the curtain and asked, "What's the matter? Why don't you leave?"

The boy driving the car hurriedly replied: "Miss, this way is blocked by a big tree! If you want to go...you can only take the path on the other side."

Jiang Jinyan looked at the small road that was full of potholes, and then she looked up at the sky, which was getting dark now.

There were only four young servants who came to Baohua Temple. It was impossible for this big tree to be removed, so we had to take a small path.

"Let's go down the path..."

After she said this, she felt her brows twitch, "Slow down."

The young servant hurriedly asked, "What orders does Missy have?"

Jiang Jinyan laughed at himself, did he worry too much?She held the white jade ring hanging around her neck.

"It's all right, let's go along the path, it's getting dark, don't delay the time to return home."

The boy driving the carriage responded quickly, then turned the direction and drove the carriage to the path.

Jiang Wei had been waiting for several hours outside the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army. It wasn't until the boy found an excuse to slip away that he had some bad thoughts.

Jiang Wei hurriedly entered the Chinese Army Dudu's Mansion, stopped a guard with a knife and said, "Dare to ask, brother, is this prince in the mansion?"

The guard shook his head in puzzlement, "Today the Governor of Hangzhou is not in the mansion, so it is impossible for outsiders to come in, let alone Fang Shizi."

Jiang Wei's mind was shocked immediately, he turned around and rushed to Fang's mansion.

He knocked on the door and asked anxiously: "May I ask if Fang Shizi is in the mansion?"

A steward of the concierge shook his head and said, "My lord went to Wanzhou a few days ago."

Jiang Wei's expression changed immediately.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain? !
Did you fall into someone else's scheme? !

Why do you need to tune yourself out?
He suddenly thought that he was going to protect the young lady to Baohua Temple.

miss? !

Someone must be doing harm to the eldest lady!

"Are Lord Hou and Old General Fang in the mansion?"

The steward shook his head, "Master Hou and the old general went out early in the morning, and they don't know where they went, and they haven't returned to the house yet."

Jiang Wei turned pale all of a sudden, what should I do? !

It will take more than an hour to rush to Baohua Temple by myself. If I go by myself and I can't deal with the situation, wouldn't that be harming Miss? !

What's more, I don't know where Miss is now, I'm afraid I'll just miss it by myself!

He was stunned at the entrance of Fangfu for a long time, the steward saw that something was wrong with him, and was about to ask, but Jiang Wei walked towards the direction of Suzaku's camp.

He thought that the eldest lady had saved Xu Junyan and had contacts with him. Since she had saved him and had some friendship, he would definitely not stand idly by if she begged him!

When Jiang Wei was stopped outside the Zhuque camp, Xu Junyan was processing documents in the Zhuque camp.

A guard came in and said, "Master Hou, there is a man who calls himself Jiang Wei and is asking to see him outside the camp!"

Xu Junyan frowned and raised his head, "Come in, please."

Xu Junyan knew exactly who Jiang Wei was next to, but Jiang Wei was able to come forward. Did that girl get into big trouble?Or is something wrong? !
Jiang Wei hurriedly followed the guard to Xu Junyan's study, his forehead was densely covered with sweat due to the rapid walking along the way.

As soon as he entered the study, he said loudly: "General Xu! Something must have happened to our young lady! I hope the general can help me!"

He was too impatient for a while, and he even forgot that Xu Junyan had already been made Marquis of Zhen Guo.

After hearing this, Xu Junyan got up and said, "What happened?!"

There were inexplicable fluctuations in the usually clear tone.

Jiang Wei quickly explained what happened today.

Xu Junyan's face was extremely gloomy, he took a long sword on the wall and walked out.

"Come on! Prepare your horse!"
