Chapter 410 Nine Young Masters Accompanying Yixiao
Yunzhong Temple is in a special location. You have to climb a mountain to get up there. The incense is far inferior to that of Da'en Temple, but it is visited by all the nobles who like peace and quiet. The nobles are indeed more generous and generous, but there are not many people.
Xie Yixiao saw that Rong Guogong's Mansion gave three hundred, Lu Guogong's Mansion also gave three hundred, and the last one was the Changning Marquis Mansion a few days ago.
One hundred taels were given.
When Xie Yixiao saw this, he immediately remembered that Zhou was also at Yunzhong Temple, and wondered whether he should go and see him.
There was the sound of chanting scriptures from the main hall nearby. Listening to these chanting sounds, she seemed to feel a little more at peace. Finally, she shook her head and decided not to see them.
If in the secular world, Mrs. Zhou was her aunt and knew that she was in the same place, she should pay her respects. But this is Yunzhong Temple, and she doesn't want to see her, so just let it happen.
But this Lu Guogong Mansion...
Among the four Dukes of the Dongming Dynasty, Duke Rong and Duke Cao are the most noble and powerful, and the rest are Dukes of Qin and Duke Lu. Qin has many heirs. Now Qin Ruyue has become Princess Ning and joined Prince Ning's team.
Xie Yixiao had also heard a little bit about Duke Lu's Mansion. It was said that the family was quite chaotic. There was also a rumor that Duke Lu was so angry that he was so angry with his children. People were quite unhappy with this Duke of Lu's Mansion.
Old Mr. Lu Guogong married two wives. The first one stayed with him through the most difficult time, but he was not lucky enough and left early. The later one was married when the world was first settled.
The currently reigning Duke is the eldest son of his original wife, and he seems to be incompetent. Moreover, the whole family is full of people who enjoy wealth and honor, but no one can really do anything well.
Many people are speculating that the Duke of Lu will be in decline within a few generations.
Xie Yixiao had the good fortune to meet several ladies and ladies from the Duke of Lu's palace. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and robes, with hair full of hairpins, traveling in groups of servants, and expensive cars and BMWs.
Just looking at them, they don't look like Buddhists.
Could it be the old lady of Duke Lu's mansion whom she has never seen? It seems that after Duke Lu inherited the title, few people have seen her.
Xie Yixiao's thoughts were spinning, but she didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and said: "Then I'll give you five hundred, and there will be some spare time. Otherwise, it will be another troublesome time if it is not enough. If there is still some left, I will give you five hundred."
Let’s buy some things.”
"Amitabha, thank you so much, donor."
Xie Yixiao asked Ming Jing to give him the banknote, and then seeing that it was still early, he went to the prayer hall to listen to the monks reciting prayer scriptures. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mr. Zhou sitting on a futon.
There were not many guests in Yunzhong Temple, and there were only seven or eight people listening to the chanting in the prayer hall, so he could see her as soon as he raised his eyes. Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Zhou turned around and saw her.
Mrs. Zhou moved her lips but said nothing.
Xie Yixiao bowed slightly and said nothing. Instead, he found a futon and sat down, listening to the monks chanting sutras and praying.
This listening lasted for two quarters (30 minutes). When the monk finished reciting the sutra, he clasped his hands and recited the name of the Buddha. Everyone stood up and clasped their hands in return to salute. Then the monk said goodbye and left, and all the guests also left.
"Yixiao." Ms. Zhou shouted. Today she was wearing a plain blue dress without makeup. She looked a little less noble, but she seemed to be much more natural than before.
Xie Yi smiled and saluted: "I've met my aunt."
Zhou paused for a moment, then paused when she wanted to step forward. She suddenly remembered that after so many things, Xie Yixiao had become estranged from Changning Houfu, and she was an aunt who used to be half a mother.
There is no emotion left.
She moved her lips, not knowing what to say. After a long time, she asked: "How are you lately?"
Xie Yi smiled and said, "I'd like to thank you for your concern. Everything is fine."
Seeing that she was still so polite and distant, Mrs. Zhou felt a little anxious. She said anxiously: "What happened at the beginning was indeed that your eldest cousin was sorry for you. She was confused. Don't argue with her."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "I don't dare."
Mrs. Zhou choked at her words and felt panicked.
Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to play a emotional card with her, asking her not to remember the past and hate the Changning Marquis Mansion. After all, they were relatives, and it would be best to go back to the past. But seeing her attitude being so cold, she didn't dare to talk anymore.
"Why did you come to Yunzhong Temple?"
Xie Yi smiled and said, "Grandma once asked for marriage for Yi Xiao. Now that grandma is busy with chores at home and has no time to spare, she asked Yi Xiao to come and fulfill her wish."
Zhou asked again: "Are you coming alone?"
Xie Yi smiled and said: "No, the Ninth Young Master came with Yi Xiao."
When Zhou heard her talking about Ninth Young Master, her heart felt complicated again.
Xie Yixiao got a good marriage. Not only did Rong Guogong's family have a high family status, but he was also kind. Even if Ayou made a mistake in the past and almost ruined the marriage, not only did Rong Guogong's family not have a single person,
In anger, she broke off the engagement and instead paid a heavy betrothal gift for the engagement.
But as for her Ayou, His Majesty granted her a marriage to be the concubine of King Huainan. Even though she could still get a betrothal gift, she did not have the three books and six gifts. When she got married in the future, she would not be able to wear a red dress, embroider a phoenix or wear a phoenix crown for the rest of her life.
In this life, I will never be able to wear red clothes and peonies.
Moreover, she had to bow down to the princess and behave like a concubine.
When Zhou thought about it, she felt like there was a huge hole in her heart, which was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
If I had known this, it would be better to marry Prince Jiang, Mr. Nian, or even the Zhao family!
Although the Zhao family has a poor background, it may not be impossible for them to get up in the future with the support of the Changning Marquis Mansion.
Although the Huainan Palace is good, if she is a concubine, it is like eating a rotten fruit. The Changning Marquis Palace is not bad, how can she be a concubine?
After a lot of trouble, we ended up with this result, which is really regrettable.
"Yixiao, you don't know that your eldest cousin is going to become a concubine in the Huainan Palace..." Ms. Zhou couldn't help but shed tears, "How can someone as strong as your eldest cousin do this?"
For my concubine..."
Xie Yixiao saw that she was sad, so it was hard to persuade her. Maybe no matter what she said, it was wrong, and seeing Zhou like this, she couldn't bear to say a few sarcastic words to add insult to injury.
That’s all.
Xie Yixiao listened quietly to Mrs. Zhou's crying for a while. When she stopped and wiped away her tears, she said, "If there is nothing wrong with my eldest aunt, Yixiao will leave."
Mrs. Zhou said: "Wait a minute, you live in Ke Yuan, let me go back with you."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay."
The two of them went out together and met up with the maidservant who was accompanying Hou at the door. Xie Yixiao glanced at Mingjing and asked Mingxin: "Where is Mingjing?"
Ming Xin said: "Ming Jing said to go to the main hall to burn incense and asked us to wait for the girl. When the girl came out, he went to the entrance of the main hall to wait for her."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "Let's go then."
However, as soon as the group reached the entrance of the hall, they saw an old lady entangled with Ming Jing.
"How many times have I told you, old lady, you have admitted the wrong person. I really am not your granddaughter!"
