The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 719 Accident
The carriage slowly drove into Jinchangfang, Xiao Nan leaned against the window all the time, staring intently at the slowly approaching pagoda.

In fact, today is said to be to pray for the Empress Dowager Xian Wende, but it is better to say that it is a grand enthronement ceremony for Master Xuanzang.

The saint attaches great importance to the Daci'en Temple. When the queen mother was seriously ill, the medicine stone was ineffective. In desperation, the saint began to ask God for divination. on the potion.

At that time, the saint not only made a wish in front of the Sanqing gods, but also made an oath in front of the Buddha, "Buddha bless, if A Niang can recover, the believer Li Chengqian will build a grand temple for the Buddha and reshape it for the Buddha in the temple." The golden body..."

Not long after, the Empress Dowager took the elixir of Luo Er Po Suo Mei, and she really woke up.

While the sage was overjoyed, he also began to reward the meritorious officials. It is the first achievement to be in love, so it goes without saying that he should be rewarded.

The sage was also in awe of the invisible Buddha. At the right time, Master Xuanzang wrote a letter saying that he had brought back a large number of precious Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu. A pagoda was repaired on the side, which was specially used to store Buddhist scriptures.

Of course, although Master Xuanzang is a monk, he can still speak quite well. Apart from this most fundamental reason, he also told the emperor that building a pagoda can demonstrate the grand national prestige of our Tang Empire, and it can also be admired by all believers. The legacy of the Buddha.

It has to be said that Master Xuanzang's phrase "demonstrating national prestige" won the heart of Li Chengqian who had just ascended the throne.

Just when the new king was about to make a face, he thought of the vow he had made in front of the Buddha, so he swiped a pen and replied to Master Xuanzang, saying that the Hongfu Temple occupies too small an area, and even if the pagoda is built, it will not be enough. Show narrow.

Instead of this, it is better to choose a new site to rebuild a temple and pagoda.

The emperor also said that after the temple was completed, Master Xuanzang would be asked to move from Hongfu Temple to the new temple as the first abbot.

As for the expenses, there is no need for Master Xuanzang to "beg for alms" pitifully, everything is paid by the emperor's inner treasury.

Pierce said, the emperor inherited not only the throne from the first emperor, but also a rather rich royal treasury.

With the emperor's words, everything went very smoothly: site selection, design, materials, labor... until the final decoration, etc., were all carried out in an orderly manner.

Among a series of works, site selection and design are the most important.

The emperor attached great importance to the site selection. Apart from the above reasons, he also had the idea of ​​praying for his mother.

It can be said that this new temple was built for Empress Dowager Wende, so he had very clear requirements on the terrain, geomantic omen and so on.

According to the conditions set by the emperor, Yousi Yamen searched all over the capital, and finally decided to build a new temple in Jinchangfang.

After the site selection, the next step is the design.

After some surveying and positioning work of "looking at the stars and the land", the Ministry of Industry finally formulated the design plan of "like the sky, imitating the garden".

With the design drawings, the emperor's close attention and the financial support of the internal treasury, the craftsmen used their housekeeping skills to build the Da Ci'en Temple into a majestic and beautiful.

And the pagoda located in the west courtyard was also built solemnly and solemnly without losing the beauty of architecture.Let everyone who has seen it be full of praise.

The carriage stopped and went, and it took a long time to pass through the excited and joyful crowd on both sides, and slowly drove into the alley in front of the main entrance of the Da Ci'en Temple.

Today is a rare Buddhist event. Not only the saints and officials came to participate, but also the common people in the capital and its surroundings came out with their families to watch.

The Suzaku Street, the widest in the entire capital, was crowded, not to mention the small alleys in the workshop.

Fortunately, the people in the capital are still very knowledgeable. From a distance, they saw that the carriages of the Cui family were not ordinary carriages, but high-grade court-regulated carriages, and on both sides of the carriages there were men in armor and with sabers hanging from their waists. The guards are obviously not ordinary people.

Those with sharp eyes noticed that one of them even belonged to Mrs. Yipin Guo's car.

Mrs. Yipin is definitely not an ordinary official.

Back then, in order to disperse the power of ministers, the first emperor specially set up five ministers, and their ranks were also different. Except for the prime minister, who was the first rank, the others were all second and third ranks.

Apart from empress dowagers and empress mothers, the only one who can be granted the first-class wife title is the prime minister's wife.

There are exceptions, but these exceptions are definitely people who are highly valued by the emperor.

No matter what the situation is, it is definitely an existence that cannot be provoked.

Everyone subconsciously backed away, barely exiting a narrow road for carriages to pass through.

Even so, when the Cui family's carriage arrived at Da Ci'en Temple, it was already early morning.

You know, they set off just after opening the door of the workshop, and it took everyone more than an hour for just a few streets.

"Aniang, be careful, there are so many people, don't be bumped into!"

Wang Shi and Wei Shi got out of the carriage first, walked quickly to the front, stood in front of the carriage one on the left and one on the right, stretched out an arm each, and carefully helped Zheng Shi get off the carriage.

Mrs. Zheng is also wearing court clothes and heavy makeup today. The eight trembling gold tines on her head are shining with dazzling golden light under the early morning sun.

Shaking his body slightly, gold, silver, pearls and jade jingled.

Mrs. Zheng put on airs, put her hands lightly on the hands of the two daughters-in-law, looked up at the solemn gate of Ci'en Temple, and smiled complacently.

Just at this time, a voice that made her depressed sounded: "My son, please greet my aunt!"

Xiao Nan moved lightly with lotus steps, walked slowly in front of Zheng Shi, slightly bent his knees, and performed a blessed ceremony.

"Humph~"

Zheng shi snorted lukewarmly through his nose.

Because Xiao Nan was saluting, his head drooped slightly, just revealing the nine delicate flower tinsel, which were also shining golden under the sunlight.

Zheng Shi happened to see it, and felt more and more upset, she was her daughter-in-law, but her rank was higher than her, Jiutian, Jiutian, the glory that should belong to her, is now all taken by Xiao Nan.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shi didn't wait to see Xiao Nan even more.

Just thinking of her husband's 'warning', she really didn't want to live a life where Mrs. Cui Li would follow her even when she went to the bathroom, so she suppressed the anger in her heart, raised her head, and said coldly: "It's getting late, Let's go in quickly. We don't have to miss the auspicious time!"

After all, without looking at Xiao Nan, he walked up the steps with his chest raised.

When the women of the Cui family came to the front hall, two-thirds of the noble ladies in the capital had already arrived. The courtyard was covered with tents and curtains, and the curtains of various colors were rattling in the breeze.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the main hall, and before they stepped in, a strong fragrance of cosmetics, incense and various spices rushed into their noses.

There were too many noble ladies in the room, and everyone came in their best clothes, and it was normal for the smell of cosmetics to be a bit strong.

Xiao Nanyuan didn't like this kind of smell, and he was still in a low mood today, and he was more and more unwilling to stay here for a long time.

She looked down at the hourglass in the corner, and said to Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Wang: "I have heard that the scenery in Da Ci'en Temple is quite good. I want to go and see it. It just so happens that the auspicious time has not yet arrived. I will go around first." change."

"Hmph, it's almost on time, and you still want to wander around. What if you delay the auspicious time?"

Mrs. Zheng snorted coldly, and replied in a slightly admonishing tone.

Seeing that Xiao Nan's expression was not very good after entering the temple, Mrs. Wang knew that she was hiding something in her heart, so in order to prevent Xiao Nan from being annoyed by her mother-in-law, she hurriedly said: "Oh, mother, anyway, we are here to attend the ceremony of the Queen Mother. As for the enthronement ceremony of Master Xuanzang, the sage did not order the female relatives to go too. As long as Qiao Mu does not miss the time of praying, it will be fine, and the husband will not blame her, what do you think?!"

Mrs. Wang winked at Mrs. Zheng, and the tone of the three "what do you say" was a little heavy.

Mrs. Zheng seemed to have thought of something, turned her face away unwillingly, and said coldly: "Well, you go first, take your servants, there are many people in the temple today, both men and women, and Balang is not in the capital—"

Between the words, it was actually a 'remind' Xiao Nan not to do anything that would embarrass Cui Youbo.

Mrs. Wang really wanted to die, and she only scolded her mother in her heart. She was really scolding her mother, but this mother was not her own mother, but her mother-in-law: You are always so confused. You can't say the same sentence properly? !
Cursing in her heart, Mrs. Wang still turned around with a smile on her face, "Qiao Mu, Auntie is also worried about you. The Daci'en Temple occupies a large area. Although there are guards from the Habayashi Army and Qianniuwei, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not sneak in." One or two villains with evil intentions... You must be more careful, hehe, Su Chun is also very worried in Shanzhou!"

Xiao Nan twitched the corner of her mouth, she was not angry at what Zheng said, she was not someone she cared about, so why bother with her 'stupid words'.

However, Xiao Nan was very grateful for Wang's performance. She nodded slightly at Wang and said, "Sister-in-law, I understand. The aunt and the two sister-in-laws should also be careful. There are so many people here, it’s not good if you get heatstroke!”

Wang Shi and Wei Shi nodded together, expressing that they had received Xiao Nan's kind reminder.

After all, Xiao Nan didn't even look at Mrs. Zheng, so he turned around and left with his maid.

Before the person took two steps, there was an inaudible cold hum from behind her.

Xiao Nan didn't stop on his feet, he went straight out of the front hall, followed the path paved with bluestone slabs, winding all the way to the backyard.

The Daci'en Temple occupies a large area, fully occupying half of Jinchang Fang. There are thirteen courtyards in the temple, and there are more than 1000 rooms.

Elegant, quiet, or quaint pavilions and pavilions are built between the courtyards. Those who come here for the first time will definitely get lost if they do not have the guidance of the Zhike monk.

But Xiao Nan acted that he was quite familiar with this place, he didn't even ask the way, turned left and right, and finally went straight to a very secluded small courtyard.

Hong Hua, Hong E and other female guards followed closely behind, although they were a little puzzled, they didn't dare to ask.

After a full quarter of an hour, Xiao Nan and his party left the front hall far behind, and the lively sound of drums and music, talking and laughing gradually disappeared into the bushes of flowers and trees.

Finally arriving at the 'old place' that made her so sad, Xiao Nan's mood was extremely complicated. When she stepped through the courtyard gate, she couldn't help but pause, and her palms broke out in cold sweat.

Gritting his teeth and entering the door, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard, Xiao Nan stopped, his eyes gliding across the courtyard one by one.

Suddenly, her eyes widened sharply, as if she saw some ghost...
