In summer, pilgrims who come to Anguo Temple will come over before the sun rises, so as to make it cool in the morning.

When the carriage from Duke Chu's Mansion arrived at the foot of the mountain, the smoke from the cooking stove above the kitchen of Anguo Temple had just fallen shortly after it stopped. The carriage stopped. The lady woke up after taking a nap. The maid was serving her to clean up and slowly got out. The second wife of Chu had already come to support her mother-in-law outside.

Mrs. Chu's second wife had a generous dowry, and after entering the door, she was very filial to the grandma and could not make any mistakes in her words and deeds. As for the grandma, after the daughter-in-law of the big house passed away, she had a second daughter-in-law around her who could discuss things. Her daughter-in-law was so sensible, so the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very harmonious.

Sitting in the mountain sedan chair and facing the cool mountain breeze in the early morning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went up the mountain with a refreshing feeling.

The Duke of Chu was about twenty miles away from Anguo Temple, but they were wealthy families, and they were prepared by maids and servants. The masters only needed to get up early and dress up when they got on the carriage, so they could bear to get up early. Poor families did not have carriages to travel, and they were generally reluctant to let go and go to the city gate to take a mule carriage with other people. So when the lady and the others arrived in front of the mountain gate, they could only see sparse figures of incense guests on the road, all of whom were nearby villagers.

"I haven't come for a while." The lady climbed up the steps and looked at the scenery in the distance. She was over 60 years old, but she was well maintained and was in good health. In order to show her sincerity in worshiping Buddha, she insisted on climbing the stone steps in front of the temple.

Mrs. Chu Er carefully supported her mother-in-law and whispered: "Mother values ​​the fourth emperor's grandson so much. Daretian comes to pray for him in person. I will tell Yinyin that she will definitely be moved and cry." Princess Qing's boudoir is Yinyin.

The grandma said immediately: "Don't tell her this little thing. She is in confinement, so don't worry her." The grandma really likes the eldest granddaughter Princess Qing the most. After all, she is the first girl in the family. She is also well-educated and well-educated. Whether it is talented or demeanor, she is the most outstanding among the three granddaughters. The second granddaughter Chu Ying is beautiful...

Thinking of Chu Ying's weak temper, the lady sighed softly, thinking that she would have to ask the Bodhisattva to give her a good grandson-in-law in a while. Although she was biased, the lady sincerely hoped that all three granddaughters would marry well.

At first, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the mood to chat, but gradually they had no strength. When they climbed to the top of the steps, the old lady's face turned red and her forehead and nose was covered with sweat. Mrs. Chu Er was a little stronger, and she endured the sore legs and served the lady first. The lady was gasping for breath. When she looked up, she accidentally found a mother and son kneeling beside the bluestone road leading to the Anguo Temple Temple gate, with her head down, and could only see her side face clearly.

The lady calmed down for a moment and asked curiously the monk who was specially entertaining them, "That's..."

The monk from the guest turned around and saw the mother and son. He explained with pity: "The female donor went to Beijing to find her husband. He used all his money on the way and asked the host to take in. The host was kind and arranged a guest room for her for the time being. However, the Buddhist pure land is not suitable for taking in the female donor for a long time. The host allowed her to make an announcement to find her husband here. Perhaps someone recognized her husband. Unfortunately, the female donor knelt for three consecutive days and has no news yet. If there is no news tomorrow, the temple would have to send her down the mountain."

The lady heard that there was no fluctuation in her heart. She had heard so much such pitiful things. However, when she passed by the mother and son, the lady couldn't help but look over and saw that the mother was in her early twenties, wearing a white-washed light green muslin dress. She looked very good, with fair skin, rosy lips, and eyes...

Perhaps feeling her gaze, the young woman looked up at her and looked at her with her bright and beautiful peach blossom eyes.

The lady was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at the young woman timidly bowing her head quickly, the eyes of the eldest grandson daughter-in-law appeared in front of her. After careful observation of the young woman, her face was actually three-point similar to Lu Mingyu. If those eyes were added...

The lady couldn't help but feel a little moved, and she didn't expect to meet such a person.

After seeing the young woman, the lady took a step forward and then went to see the child. The boy was wearing a gray cloth dress that was slightly newer than her mother, and was about seven or eight years old. When the lady looked over, the boy was already looking at her strangely. His eyes were facing each other. The boy did not retreat like his mother, but continued to look at the lady...the jewelry on her head without blinking.

When the lady saw the boy clearly, her heart trembled suddenly and she stared at the other person in disbelief. Her white and clean face and black phoenix eyes, how could this pink and jade-like child be exactly the same as the second son when he was a child in my memory?

The lady subconsciously turned to her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Chu Er was more shocked than her mother-in-law, and her eyes were stuck to the boy's face and had not come back yet. When the boy saw her, he finally showed a hint of timidity, lowered his head, and shrank to his mother.

The grandmother and daughter-in-law were chasing him involuntarily, and then, they also found the wooden board in front of the young woman. A piece of white paper was pasted on the wooden board, which briefly and clearly explained the woman's story: "The Dong family, a civilian, lives in Jingzhou, has a husband's surname, Shi Qian, and is a child of a businessman in the capital. He was separated eight years ago. I hope someone who has heard of him will tell him."

The eyes flashed across the man's name and identity, and the lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was not a businessman, and her grandson was not even named Shi... As soon as the thought arose, something suddenly flashed in her mind. The lady looked at the man's name again, Shi Qian, Shi Qian, could it be Shi Qian?

With doubts, when the young woman was born in Jingzhou, the grandmother suddenly remembered something. The next grandson had gone out for two years and had also been to Jingzhou. If he had done a ridiculous thing back then, he would have really had a bloody child outside, and the age of that child...

The lady dared not think about it any more.

"Mother, let's go and burn incense first." Mrs. Chu also came back to her senses and withdrew her gaze. She said to her mother-in-law with a disorienting expression.

The lady nodded and the group moved forward slowly.

When the person left, Dong Yue'er quietly raised her head and stared at the luxuriously dressed women, with envy in her eyes. She thought of Uncle Zhou's plan. She would go to the Duke of Chu's mansion to recognize her relatives tomorrow after kneeling down and looking for her relatives. Once she succeeded, she would live a good life of luxury and food. Hope appeared in Dong Yue'er's heart.

"Brother Run, sit for a while." Dong Yue'er knelt down and turned her head to ask her son to sit.

Brother Run nodded, sat cross-legged beside his mother obediently, and looked at the direction where the lady and the others left. Since last year, Uncle Zhou has taught him a lot of things. Brother Run learned very seriously and remembered it firmly, because Uncle Zhou said that he remembered it so that he and his mother would have a good life.

The sun gradually rose, and the pilgrims passed by them one after another. Some kind-hearted people threw some copper plates for them. Dong Yue'er put them all away. As she was holding them, she found a small piece of paper stuffed between a copper coin. Dong Yue'er raised her head in surprise and looked around, but did not find any familiar figures. She frowned and picked out the piece of paper and opened it quietly.

Uncle Zhou taught her to recognize words, but she didn't know much, but she knew all the words on the paper ball.

The paper ball said, "Let her be prepared and you may meet the lady today."

Dong Yue'er was also a little careful. When she recalled the two noble people she met in the early morning, she vaguely guessed something. Dong Yue'er's heart was beating, but when the two noble ladies passed by the two mothers again quietly and went down the mountain, Dong Yue'er's shoulders suddenly drooped. It turned out that she thought so much...

"Madam Dong, my wife may have news about your husband, but she is not convenient for her to tell you here, would you like to go with us?" A Lenten lady dressed in a common man squatted down and stared at her with exploratory eyes.

Because this person was not dressed like the same group as the previous lady, Dong Yue'er didn't think of the grandma at all, and thought that the other party had really had news about Chu Sui, she immediately became excited and asked excitedly: "Really?"

The forty-year-old woman nodded repeatedly, "It's true, is your husband named Shi Qian?"

Dong Yue'er's eyes became brighter. She immediately stopped doubting and took her son back to the guest room to pack up her things, and then followed the other party down the mountain.
