After Princess Xiao ate six or seven pieces of snacks and drank several cups of tea, there was finally movement outside.
"It seems that the carriage has been repaired." Princess Xiao clapped her hands and wiped off all the crumbs of snacks stained on her palms. She glanced at the food box and saw that there were still many exquisite and delicious snacks lying inside.
I can't help but feel a little regretful about the time.
She hasn't eaten enough yet!
Catching Princess Xiao's eyes, Xie Wu couldn't help but chuckle. She reached out and picked up some snacks from the food box, then carefully wrapped them in paper, and then handed them to Princess Xiao.
"For me?" Xiao Muqing's eyes lit up and she didn't show any politeness. She reached out and took the bag of snacks. She smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite! If I buy something delicious next time, I'll give it to you."
Send someone to bring it to you to eat.”
"Okay." Xie Wu responded with a smile.
"Girl, the front has dispersed. The old lady and madam have started to walk back." Outside, Xianyue's voice suddenly rang.
Xiao Muqing put the snacks into her sleeves and put them away, then turned to Xie Wu and said, "Ah Wu, wait until we get to Chao'an Temple to find a chance to meet again. I have something else to tell you." After that, she didn't wait for Xie Wu.
He answered, opened the curtain and jumped down.
Xie Wu curled her lips and put away the food boxes on the table with a smile.
Mrs. Chen quickly returned to the carriage.
After taking a sip of the tea handed over by Xie Wu, Mrs. Chen finally calmed down. She took a long breath, and then said to Xie Wu with lingering fear, "I was really scared to death just now. Fortunately, they didn't come to find me."
I spoke."
Xie Wu smiled and did not answer Chen's words.
With Mrs. Li and Princess Zhennan here, how could they care about the Chen family?
"However, your second aunt seems to be quite familiar with the other ladies..." Mrs. Chen looked at Xie Wu and spoke again.
"Second Aunt has grown up in the capital since she was a child. She knows almost all the ladies in the capital. When my mother stays in the capital for a long time, she will naturally become familiar with those ladies." Xie Wu looked at Chen's indifferent eyes.
smiled.
Seeing Xie Wu's calm and composed look, Chen felt a little ashamed of herself for no reason.
She is a mother, but she relies on her daughter to take care of everything for her. No one would believe her if she told her this.
"If mother feels guilty, she should be more attentive. I won't be with her all the time." Xie Wu looked at Chen calmly and said.
Looking at Xie Wu's cold eyes, Chen's eyes were sore, but in the end he nodded vigorously in response.
There is a large open space in front of the mountain gate of Chao'an Temple, which is specially set aside for the official family members who come to offer incense to park their carriages. Just looking at these luxurious carriages, you can tell that the official family members who come to offer incense today are very large.
No one is of low status.
No one of low status dares to take up the time of the nobles to burn incense at this time!
The monks from Chao'an Temple were waiting at the gate of the mountain early in the morning.
Everyone entered the temple one by one, and there were already monks waiting inside. When they saw someone coming in, they immediately greeted them. After asking which house they belonged to, they stepped forward to guide them to the side room in the backyard to rest.
So many people came to burn incense and worship Buddha. If they all rushed to the main hall, I am afraid that there would be no room for them to stand in the main hall. Even if they did, the Bodhisattva would not be able to remember so many people at once! Therefore, everyone could only go to the side room to rest first and wait for the people in front.
After people have finished praying, the monks will naturally come to inform the next family.
It was a good thing that Chaoan Temple was a national temple that was used to hosting official families. Otherwise, if it had been any other temple, it would have been a mess.
Wu'anhou's Mansion was arranged in a very elegant and quiet courtyard in the west.
After a bumpy journey, everyone went to the courtyard to freshen up and rest.
After the old lady wiped her face briefly, she went directly to the inner room to rest. After packing up, Yang took Xie Yuan and Xie Xian to the next door without saying a word. Xie Shi also said that he had made an appointment with someone.
Out of the yard.
In the second room, only the fourth girl, Aunt Xie, and her nanny remained in the courtyard.
When Ms. Chen heard the news, she had already left. She frowned and said worriedly, "What if a visiting monk comes over later? Will it miss the time to offer incense?"
"Second Aunt should go to Mrs. Hu's place to chat for a few words. She will be back in a while. You don't have to worry." Xie Wu comforted her with a smile.
No matter how unhappy Ms. Yang is, she will not dare to show off today. If she misses the time to burn incense, the old lady will not be able to explain it to her.
After hearing Xie Wu's words, Mrs. Chen felt a lot more at ease.
However, she still felt a little uncomfortable about Yang going out without saying hello.
No matter what, she should send someone to check on her before she goes out. Otherwise, if the old lady wakes up later and asks her, how should she answer?
Fortunately, Ah Wu knew where she was going.
"If mother has nothing to do, you might as well ask someone to copy scriptures to pass some time." Xie Wu looked at Mrs. Chen with a smile and suggested.
"That's fine." Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Wu Qing beside him didn't even need to say anything, but Chen immediately said to go outside to find paper, ink, pen, inkstone and scriptures.
"Wu Qing." Xie Wu called Wu Qing to her side. Seeing Wu Qing turn her head, she smiled lightly and said, "Grandma likes the Lotus Sutra the most."
Wu Qing's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what Xie Wu meant. She happily gave a big salute to Xie Wu, and then walked out quickly. When she came back, she actually held a volume of "The Lotus Sutra of Wonderful Dharma" in her hand.
.
Xie Wu smiled. She no longer stayed in the room to disturb Chen's copying of scriptures. She bowed and led the maid to leave.
"elder sister."
As soon as Xie Wu went out, she saw Xie Xu standing in the yard looking at her with a silly smile on his face.
Xie Wu smiled and raised her eyebrows and said, "Want to go out?"
"I see that eldest brother and eldest aunt have gone out...Sister, I won't go far, I will just hang around here." Xie Xu said with a smile, fearing that Xie Wu would not agree, he also reached out and tugged on her sleeve.
Jiao then said, "Sister, this is my first time to come to Chao'an Temple."
Xie Wu smiled helplessly, "Take Gui'an with you and don't go too far. There are many people in Chao'an Temple today, so be careful not to bump into anyone."
"Yes, yes, sister, I remember everything you said." Xie Xu grinned and was about to walk out as he spoke.
"Don't play for too long, half an hour at most. Otherwise, if grandma and mother ask, I won't cover it up for you." Xie Wu couldn't help but warn her again.
"I know!" Xie Xu waved vigorously to Xie Wu, and then jumped out of the yard quickly.
"Girl, why don't we go for a walk too?" Seeing Xie Xu leaving the yard, Mi Yue couldn't help but smile and said to Xie Wu.
Xie Wu shook her head, "Forget it, let's go back to the house."
The scenery of Chao'an Temple is not as good as that of Qingyun Temple. Besides, there are so many people today, and she is really too lazy to entertain those unimportant people.
Seeing Xie Wu's lack of interest, Mi Yue pursed her lips and immediately gave up the idea of persuading Xie Wu to go out. The two of them were walking towards the house when a figure suddenly jumped from the wall.
Coming down, Mi Yue was startled and was about to call someone, but Xianyue quickly covered her mouth with quick eyes and hands. When she took a closer look, she saw that the person was Princess Dingnan.
"Princess." Xie Wu smiled and blessed Xiao Muqing.
Xianyue released her hand covering Miyue, and the two of them followed Xie Wu and saluted Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing grinned, tilted his head and looked at Xie Wu and said, "Why are you not surprised at all? Why don't you ask me why I didn't come in through the courtyard door?"
"Then why didn't the princess come in through the door?" Xie Wu smiled and asked again according to Xiao Muqing's words.
"Forget it, you've already guessed it, why are you asking? Do you still have Guifangzhai's snacks? The ones I just packed back were all eaten by my mother." Xiao Muqing pouted.
Xie Wu raised her eyebrows imperceptibly.
She clearly remembered Ah Qing complaining to her in her previous life, saying that the princess would only eat a small bite of everything in order to stay in shape.
Seeing Xie Wu standing still, Xiao Muqing couldn't help but frown, "What? Are there any snacks left?"
Xie Wu smiled helplessly, and then, while she ordered Miyue to get some snacks, she said to Xiao Muqing, "Has the princess accompanied the princess to offer incense?"
Xiao Muqing shook his head, "It would be fine if my mother went to burn incense herself. If I go, I will only cause trouble for her."
Xie Wu frowned slightly, "Then does the princess know that you came to see me?"
"My mother is not stupid, and I don't know many people in the capital. Where else can I go besides you? Forget it, let's not talk about this. Time is running out, so let's leave quickly!" Xiao Muqing finished.
, directly took Xie Wu’s hand.
"Go? Where to go?" Xie Wu looked at Xiao Muqing confused.
"Go find Lu Zhan!" Xiao Muqing said without thinking.
"Look for Lu Zhan!" Xie Wu paused.
"Didn't you tell me to ask Lu Zhan that day to find out? I didn't see him last time when I went to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. I heard that guy Xiao Mubei said that he also came to Chao'an Temple today. It just so happened that we should go find him and make it clear.
"Xiao Muqing said as he should.
Xie Wu covered her mouth and coughed hard several times. After a long time, she raised her head stiffly and said, "Princess, I think this matter can be discussed in the long term? There are many people in Chao'an Temple today, so what if someone sees it?"
To add to right and wrong?"
"Don't worry! I've asked about it a long time ago. Lu Zhan went to the back mountain to meet Master Jue Yuan for tea and chess. The back mountain is where Master Jue Yuan cultivated and set up formations. Ordinary people
You can't get in at all." Xiao Muqing raised his eyebrows.
"Since ordinary people can't get in..."
"We are not ordinary people, what are we afraid of?" Princess Xiao patted her chest and directly interrupted what Xie Wu was about to say.
Xie Wu sighed helplessly. She still refused to give in and struggled, "Princess Princess, even if this is the case, isn't it appropriate for you to take me with you?"
"Is there anything wrong? That guy Xiao Mubei is right. That guy Lu Zhan is extremely cunning. I can easily be deceived by him! I thought about it again and again, and it would be best to bring my personal ID."
"Then why doesn't the princess just find the prince?"
"Don't be kidding, that guy Xiao Mubei is as good as wearing a pair of pants with Lu Zhan. He even told me that day that if I could marry Lu Zhan, it would be a blessing I had earned in my previous life!
He won't offend Lu Zhan because of me!" When he mentioned this, Xiao Muqing couldn't help but get a little excited.
Xie Wu frowned and was about to think of another reason to refuse, but Princess Xiao grabbed her and took her into her arms. Before she could react, her body became light, and when she regained consciousness
, he has already appeared on the courtyard wall.
"Princess, I don't want any more of your snacks!" Xianyue, who came over anyway, shouted loudly towards the wall.
"Keep it for me, I'll come back and get it later!" Princess Xiao said this gracefully, and after a few ups and downs, she disappeared from Xianyue's sight with Xie Wu.
When Mi Yue came back, there was no one in the courtyard except Xianyue who looked confused.
She walked up to Xianyue in a strange way and said, "Xianyue, what are you doing standing here stupidly? Are you a girl? Are you a princess?"
Xianyue turned around stiffly. After a long time, she said to Miyue with a straight face, "Sister Miyue, girl, the girl was kidnapped by the princess!"
