Chapter 207 Returning Triumphantly and Marrying Ji Qianxue
Pearl was stunned when she heard the White Horse Temple, and was a little confused: "Miss, why are we going there?"
On the previous trip, Hongyu secretly stirred up trouble, had a relationship with Jiang Lin, and was later assigned to Shen Sisi as a maid. It always felt like it was not an auspicious place.
"Go for a walk and pray for the war at the border." Shen Qingyun said calmly.
Pearl nodded. She noticed that the young lady seemed to be in a bad mood after she came back from the prison. It must be that Prince Jiang was talking nonsense again. It was really annoying. It would be best to be executed as soon as possible.
But at this moment, Jiang Lin still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Shen Qingyun could understand that they were truly a match made in heaven.
He fantasized about how he and Shen Qingyun would sing harmoniously in the future, but when it was time to eat that day, the huge contrast brought him back to reality.
Jiang Lin found that there were not even the usual cold steamed buns, only a bowl of rice mixed with soup, like leftovers from someone else's meal, and it also had a faint sour smell.
"Prisoner, what is this? You can't use this to treat prisoners harshly!" Jiang Lin asked angrily.
The jailer pursed his lips, Miss Shen was right, it was really noisy.
"Only this, whether you like it or not, do you think you are still the noble son of the Hou Mansion?" The jailer dropped this sentence mockingly and left without mercy.
Jiang Lin took the bowl of disgusting food and naturally couldn't eat it.
He sat down sadly and angrily, looked at the cold fence around him, and closed his eyes, hoping that falling asleep would cover up his hunger.
Just like this, every day was filled with unpalatable food. He tried to eat a few mouthfuls and almost vomited. Occasionally, he would be interrogated. After a few days, he lost weight again and no longer had the energy to cry. .
As for Mrs. Jianghou, as soon as Han Rou left, she was naturally imprisoned again.
Seeing that she came back unharmed, but with eyes that looked like she had cried, Shen Sisi was a little curious: "Mom, what were you called to do? Did they ask you anything?"
"No, it's Han Rou. She brought some food to see me." Mrs. Jiang Hou said slowly.
"Where is the food?" Shen Sisi was a little excited and looked at Mrs. Jianghou up and down, as if to see where she had put the food.
Hong Yu and Liu Mei also looked over, their eyes filled with longing. They had never had enough to eat even a day in prison, and all they ate was cold rice, cold vegetables, and cold steamed buns.
Mrs. Jiang Hou pursed her lips and said, "If you eat, you won't be allowed to take away the food."
Hearing this, the three of them all looked disappointed.
Shen Shensi glanced at Mrs. Jiang Hou with resentment, sat down on the ground feebly, and murmured in a low voice: "She doesn't recognize me as her daughter anyway. Now that she's here, she didn't think of coming to see me... "
Liu Mei shed tears and asked: "Will Mrs. Han come again? Will she save us?"
I originally thought that by marrying Jiang Lin, I could enjoy the glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion with him, but I didn't expect that within a few days of the good life, I would be thrown into prison.
Mrs. Jiang Hou just shook her head silently, then closed her eyes and said nothing.
Ruby's eyes flashed, remembering that when Han Rou was the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, she was gentle and generous to her servants, and she was a eloquent maid in the manor. All of this is as far away as the moon in the mirror. .
She also thought of the happiest period in her life when she was an aunt in the Marquis Mansion and was favored by Jiang Lin.
Hongyu's eyes couldn't help but feel moist, and she didn't know if she would ever see Jiang Lin again in this life.
Naturally, no one cared about what these people in the prison were thinking. Shen Qingyun was thinking about fate and went to the White Horse Temple every two days.
There were not many pilgrims in the temple. The monks led Shen Qingyun into the main hall. The smoke of the incense diffused from the cauldron in the courtyard and lingered around the entire temple, adding to the quiet and solemn atmosphere.
Shen Qingyun knelt down and prayed in front of the Buddha statue sincerely. He burned three sticks of incense and added some sesame oil money. Then he asked the young monk beside him: "Who is the most virtuous and respected master in the temple?"
The young monk bowed in return and replied honestly: "If anyone in the White Horse Temple is considered highly virtuous and respected, it must be Master Wuchen. However, the donor's arrival was unlucky. Master Wuchen has already retreated and will not be released until next year. The donor wants to ask for fortune telling. , there are also other masters in the temple who can explain it to donors."
"It doesn't matter, I just asked casually. Since there is no predestined relationship, then forget it." Shen Qingyun smiled, rejected the young monk's proposal, and asked some more things about Master Wuchen, and then took the pearl with him Walked around.
The air of the temple exudes a faint fragrance of sandalwood, and while walking, my heart calms down unconsciously.
It was very quiet all around. There was the sound of birds chirping in the distant woods. Shen Qingyun asked about the way to the bamboo forest. As he walked along the path, the monks in the temple rang the bell, and the lingering sound of the bell lingered in the air. more than.
"Miss, there's no one here anymore, let's go back." The sound of rustling bamboo leaves in the Pearl Bamboo Forest always felt a little too quiet.
Shen Qingyun walked around casually, with many things that happened after being taken back flashing in his mind.
After a long time, she sighed softly: "Go back."
When she came here, she didn't want to find out what happened back then. But after revisiting her old place, based on the description of the young monk, she was able to confirm that it was Master Wuchen who was in the bamboo forest.
Although she did not agree with Master Wuchen's idea, she could also tell that Master Wuchen was not the person who communicated with Shen Zhifeng.
If it was really nowhere to be found, she wouldn't care about it.
Several months passed by in a flash. During this period, the people in the Hou Mansion were sentenced to exile. Jiang Lin, Shen Sisi, Mrs. Jiang Hou, Hong Yu and Liu Mei were all sent out together. Shen Qingyun only sent the listener Fengge paid attention to their whereabouts, and then stopped paying attention to them.
However, the war that was originally thought to be over quickly ended up being delayed until the spring of the next year, and finally the day of the army's triumphant victory came.
Xiao Jue had returned to the border after dealing with the third prince before, and this time he would come back with General Han and Si Moli. Shen Qingyun and Han Rou also made preparations early in the general's mansion, waiting for them to come back together. Celebrate.
After returning to Kyoto, the three of them naturally had to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor simply asked and asked General Han and Xiao Jue to leave first, leaving Si Moli alone.
"You've done a good job with the third child. Now that you're back, don't leave." The emperor looked at him, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes: "Now that the queen family is no longer successful, you are now the oldest and it's time to start a family. , I would like to point out Ji Qianxue, the daughter of Taifu, to you, how about that?"
Si Moli frowned deeply: "I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten the imperial edict. I already have Princess Li, so I don't need a daughter from the Grand Tutor."
The emperor said seriously: "At first you were worried that not coming back would delay the Shen family daughter. The imperial edict was not stamped with a jade seal, so naturally you couldn't do anything."
