From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 457 Being Targeted Again
Because Huangjue Temple is very popular and is a royal temple, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries have reserved yards in the temple on weekdays.All the year round, it is like paying rent, paying silver taels for the female family members who come to worship Buddha to burn incense, stay, rest, eat or stay for a few days.

In the beginning, Prince Liang’s mansion was also booked, but because Mrs. Mei gradually retired, and Shangguan Xinrou, in order to facilitate the private meeting with Prince Chu Huai, went directly to the courtyard reserved by Shangguan’s house every time after offering incense. In the past, she withdrew.

It didn't matter that she retired, but it affected the other female relatives of the Mei family, and directly caused them to have no place to rest when they came to Shangxiang.Therefore, after Mei Xin confirmed with Lin two days ago, she sent Yun Luo to Huangjue Temple.

There are many dignitaries in the capital, and there are only so many courtyards in Huangjue Temple. In addition, it coincides with the end of the year festival, so it is impossible to book, and the temple also said that there are no empty courtyards.

A whole family, big and small, wanted to offer incense, and there were a lot of people. Yun Luo thought that if there was no temple, he would go to the neighborhood to have a look.If there is a vacant room in the mountain and she is willing to rent it out, she will book it. Anyway, it is close, and it is better than nothing.

She thought very well, and her brain turned quickly, but she underestimated the awe and love of the people in the capital for the gods and Buddhas.Therefore, wandering around for a long time did not find the right one.

She was about to go back home to report the matter to Mei Xin, but when she thought of meeting Bai Yulan, she was still so enthusiastic, especially as soon as she heard about it, she immediately said that she had three courtyards in Huangjue Temple and was planning to return one. It's also a coincidence, just give it to her.

Yunluo was overjoyed, and immediately followed her back to Huangjue Temple, and then paid her the price she rented at that time.

She likes Mei Xin and wants to get closer to her. After the baby is born, she can visit her from time to time. Bai Yulan doesn't ask for any money.Yun Luo knew that it was difficult to repay the debt of favor, so she immediately said that if she didn't accept the money, she would not want it.

Helpless, Bai Yulan had no choice but to accept it, but she gave her the largest of the three courtyards.

Because after receiving the money, Mei Xin didn't say much after knowing about it, and ordered Yunluo to prepare a gift and send it to Zongzheng Hou's house after receiving the contract, as a way of expressing her gratitude.

The gift was not expensive but Magnolia was very happy, and immediately returned the gift, she became a frequent visitor to Prince Liang's Mansion after coming and going, and her relationship with Mei Xin became even better.Of course, these are things for later.

Since Mrs. Zeng also went to the temple to burn incense to bless her husband who was away from home from time to time, she knew how rare the courtyard of Huangjue Temple was.My heart was startled and I was overjoyed, and said in disbelief: "Xin'er, what you said is true, our family has a place to rest in this temple?"

She had always wanted to order it, but it was too expensive, and it was also a status symbol.For example, every time she comes back to burn incense, she doesn't dare to stay longer, for fear of meeting acquaintances and wanting to talk, but as a result, there is no place to sit, which makes people laugh for no reason.

Mei Xin mainly felt that it was convenient, and there were a lot of people here today, it would be better to have a place to rest, so she didn't think too much about it.Seeing that Mrs. Zeng was very happy, she said: "Well, I have booked it, and I will book it every year in the future. You will not be afraid to come to offer incense if there is a place to rest. When I was in Liangzhou, I heard from my father that the scenery behind the mountain is beautiful. It's an excellent place to go, if I have time, my aunt might come to live here for a few days, look around, walk around, it's convenient to have a yard."

After clapping her hands, Mei Qingke was overjoyed, and immediately grabbed Mei Jingxing's arm and said, "There are rabbits in the back mountain, let's go to the back mountain to catch them."

I heard from her father last night that rabbit meat was delicious, and they caught it and roasted it once.

Already accustomed to her touch, Mei Jingxing nodded vigorously, agreeing happily like a chicken pecking at rice.

Mei Xin saw that they couldn't wait any longer, and she didn't want to wait any longer, so she immediately ordered: "It's okay to go to the back mountain to catch rabbits, but you can't run around. You must follow the two elder brothers closely, and you can't leave alone. Someone has to be. If you can’t do it, I won’t bring you out from now on.”

These words were mainly addressed to Mei Qingke. After meeting her as a girl, she was actually quite naughty and had a lot of tricks.And ever since Mei Jingxing played with her, the smile on his face has increased a lot.

Mei Qingke understood, and Mei Jingxing nodded accordingly, and ordered Yunying to send someone to protect them, and then everyone dispersed.

The purpose of coming here was not to listen to scriptures, and I really didn't like it, couldn't sit still, Mei Xin didn't follow Mrs. Zeng to the Daxiong Palace.Instead, she wandered around Huangjue Temple slowly along the bluestone path.

The Huangjue Temple is very large and beautifully built. In addition, the women in the harem come here occasionally, and the emperor also comes to offer incense. It is cleaned very clean every day, and there are special monks to take care of and trim flowers and plants.

Perhaps it is because they know that the people who come here are either rich or noble, and they are afraid of offending the nobles. The little monks here are all very well-behaved.Not to mention that people put their hands together and bowed down to salute, and the material of the robes they wear is much better than those in other temples.

"Major General, these people can walk like the wind and know martial arts." Looking carefully at Yunying, he found that two of them were not low in martial arts, and they were secretly looking at them intentionally or unintentionally.

Mei Xin also noticed it, but she was not surprised. On the contrary, she said very plainly: "The abbot here is from Shaolin, so it's not surprising that he knows martial arts. Be careful and ignore them first, and wait until you are in a place where there are no people. .”

I don't know why the two monks with ring scars on their heads kept staring at her, Mei Xin didn't want to startle the snake.Considering that most of the people who came to today's grand event were female relatives, and after a while they accidentally injured someone in the temple, she decided to go to a remote place.

Yunying understood and immediately took orders: "Yes, Major General!"

Before the words were finished, a woman came to meet her. She was six feet tall and had a light body. She had high temples and pearls all over her hair. She was full of wealth. At first glance, she looked like the wife of a wealthy family.

Mei Xin recognized her as the second wife of Duke Lu's mansion, Zhao Shi, her eldest brother's second aunt, who is also the first wife of Lu Yanhui, Minister of Industry.

Although Zhao Shi has never met Mei Xin, she is somewhat similar to her father.Therefore, before approaching, she laughed, stretched out her hand to Mei Xin enthusiastically and said, "Xin'er, you are here, if you don't come, your grandmother will go down the mountain to find you."

He came out to pick up Mei Xin at the order of his mother-in-law, so he thought of seeing her not far from the door.

She hadn't had much dealings with her in the previous life, and Mei Xin was not particularly familiar with her.She saluted with a smile and then called out very politely and distantly: "Second aunt!"

Mrs. Zhao was very happy, and after a heavy reply, she took Mei Xin's hand, looked her up and down and said, "I always hear your uncle talking about you, today I can see you."
