Ci'an Temple eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha, future mother-in-law kills her
In name, it was about eating fast, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and chanting sutras to achieve salvation, but after all, he was born as a princess, so the actual implementation was not as strict as imagined.
Ci'an Temple specially set aside a garden with a courtyard. My maid Chun Zhu Qiuju and I lived in the garden. Chen Ke and his personal guards lived in the courtyard next to the garden. So did Yiyingwushi and the handyman servants.
The one brought here from the princess's mansion is not much different from the one in his own mansion except that the house is simpler.
I have lived through poor days and rich days, and I am not like a weak young lady who grew up with fine clothes and fine food, so I don’t feel any discomfort.
Not long after I moved here, Murong Qingfeng moved to the right minister of the Ministry of War, and was assigned the third rank. In addition to the morning court every day, he also had to work as a director in the Yamen of the Ministry of War. Although he was extremely busy, he would always ride to Ci'an Temple to visit us.
After the fast meal, you can copy scriptures for me, or listen to my reading quietly. Although the days are ordinary, they are what I dreamed of in my previous life.
With such news, the matter between me and him could no longer be concealed, and almost no one in the whole capital knew about it. Mrs. Beijing Hou could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she sent a matchmaker to the princess's mansion to discuss it with the two families.
, the wedding date was set for the second day of April three years later, which was the second month after I left Ci'an Temple.
However, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all. Before Murong Qingfeng and I were happy, she wanted to take the initiative to take over the two maids who were serving in his room. She wanted to have a son and a half before I came in, so as not to worry about it in the future.
My family is the only one in my family, so she can't protect me.
I can understand her thoughts. In feudal society, it was very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. A family would be blessed only if they had many children and a long life. After all, there were only a few people like my parents who had a husband and a wife who lived in the same house even though they lived and died. They were considered a flower.
Weird. But I understand, but after all, I am not a native of the ancients, so there is no need to accept this kind of ridiculous thing to me.
But after all, I am a woman who has not left the palace. If I refuse directly, it is one thing to be shameless. I am afraid that if it spreads, I will be accused of jealousy. Not to mention that Aunt Rong will teach me a lesson, I am afraid that even the queen will have to leave the palace.
He came to me for tea, so I just smiled and said: "If Jinyue has married into the Murong family now, it is reasonable to help her husband take concubines, but now the two families have a verbal engagement, which is hindering the holy purpose.
Not even a small decision has been made, so it is not convenient for Jinyue to interfere in the affairs of your house. Please forgive me, madam."
Mrs. Bei Jinghou took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile: "I have also come from your age, so I know more or less what you are thinking. Both families are from prominent families, and it is said that the man is not
You should take a concubine before getting married, but there are exceptions to everything. Qing'er is now more than 20 years old, and ordinary people have already become fathers at this age... You two are in love, and we parents can't beat the mandarin ducks.
It's just that the three most unfilial things are not having offspring, not to mention that he has to wait not for a year or two, but for a whole three years, so you have to understand the difficulties involved."
"Everything Madam said makes sense, but it's Mr. Ling who wants to take a concubine. Jin Yue really can't say much. You'd better go and seek his opinion." Naturally, it's better not to be tit-for-tat when getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so I kicked the ball.
When it comes to Murong Qingfeng, he will mediate.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bei Jinghou slapped the tea bowl on the table and sneered: "My son is so fascinated by you that he puts you first in everything. If you don't speak up, how can he dare to agree?"
I raised my head and laughed loudly: "Madam, you really think highly of Jinyue. Jinyue thinks she is not so charming."
"After all, you just don't agree?" Mrs. Bei Jinghou raised her eyebrows, anger emerging in her eyes.
I shrugged fearlessly and said, "It's not that I don't agree, it's that I have no right to care about this matter at all. If Madam insists on forcing others to do something difficult, then Jinyue will have no choice but to offend. Come and see the guests off."
Chen Ke walked in with a cold face, sword in hand, and raised his hand faintly: "Please, madam."
Mrs. Bei Jinghou stood up suddenly, waved her sleeves angrily, and was about to walk out. At that moment, Murong Qingfeng walked in with a high head.
"Mother? Why are you here?" Murong Qingfeng was taken aback, and then his face lit up with joy: "If I had known that you were coming to see Jinyue, I would have gone to the house to pick you up."
Mrs. Bei Jinghou sneered: "He's sitting on my head before I even get through the door. I don't know how arrogant he will be when we get past the door. Look at her? Of course I have to see her! Don't wait for me."
, I will have to wait for my old wife to have a hard time in the future."
Murong Qingfeng looked at me with confusion on his face, and I chuckled: "Who told you to marry a dominatrix? In order to protect yourself from bullying in the future, Madam has no choice but to give you a few gentle and lovely concubines.
I have a few smart sons again. After all, it’s all my fault, so you shouldn’t have waited for me, just get married and have children as soon as possible and start your business.”
When Mrs. Bei Jinghou came in, she kept talking about her filial piety for the sake of her children, but now she was just complaining to her son, and she actually poured out her innermost thoughts without hesitation. Being pushed away by me like this, her face became a little embarrassed, mixed with shame, anger, and hatred.
Said: "I didn't fall in love with you from the beginning. If Qing'er didn't like you so much, I wouldn't have agreed to get married. Now it seems that this marriage is really wrong. Fortunately, we just had a marriage ceremony with each other. We can't count. We can look back.
Report it to the Marquis directly..."
"Mother!" Before Mrs. Bei Jinghou could finish her words, she was interrupted by Murong Qingfeng. His face was solemn, and he frowned and said displeasedly: "How can a marriage be a trivial matter?"
"Marriage is not a trivial matter, so I will never allow you to marry such a jealous woman!" Mrs. Bei Jinghou blurted out.
After being courteous for a long time, I was labeled as "jealous" in the end. I laughed angrily. I have never had the chance to act childish in my life, but today I wanted to act more seriously so that Mrs. Beijinghou could know.
I am not that easy to bully, otherwise I will have to be angry with her mother-in-law in the future, so I nodded and said: "Madam, if you want to cancel the marriage between our two families, you only need to send someone to send Geng Tie back to the Cheng Mansion."
She probably didn't expect me to be so easy to talk to, so she was stunned for a moment. I waited for her to come to her senses, and then continued with a smile: "The marriage we originally discussed is indeed a bit inappropriate now that I think about it. My Cheng family has only a few loyal people for generations.
, I am the only one left in this generation. As the saying goes, obey your husband when you marry. If I marry into the Murong family, then the Cheng family will be extinct. After thinking about it, the most appropriate way is for me to recruit a husband.
In this way, the Cheng family's incense will be succeeded by someone. The madam's biological children and the foster children in her name add up to eight sons. I guess she won't be reluctant to part with Qingfeng."
"You, you, you..." Mrs. Bei Jinghou pointed at me, trembled for a long time, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
