Dajin royal family

Chapter 10 Fiancee

Seeing that Shangguan Di was silent, Jiang Chengxiao slapped his forehead, and suddenly said: "I forgot, Chang'an City is guarded by the Jinwu Guards, you may not be able to climb the tower with your white body. Hey, if you can't, you can find a white silk to kill yourself That’s enough, why come here to embarrass the monks of Dalin Temple.”

"The six roots of monks are pure, aren't you polluting the holy land of Buddhism? Are you embarrassing others?"

The slaves of the Daiwang Mansion cooperated with their masters to laugh, but Shangguan Di's forehead was flushed red but he couldn't speak a word.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "I think you are also a man. Even if you don't want to serve the country with a useful body, you should still consider the kindness of your parents' upbringing. Although you are dead, you are done, but you have suffered for your biological parents."

"Yu Guo is disloyal, Yu family is unfilial, disloyal and unfilial people like you really deserve to die."

The little monk was dumbfounded, he thought this gentleman was here to persuade people, how could he persuade people to die.

"I'm not going to die." Shangguan Di uttered a few words between his teeth, but he didn't look up at Jiang Chengxiao.

"Then why are you kneeling here to embarrass the monks?"

"I..." Shangguan Di's lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Jiang Chengxiao snorted softly. How could such people be called "angry youths"?

It’s really not good, just shut up if you see through the world of mortals, shave yourself and get out to become an ascetic monk. Who do you want to see here by yelling?

Seeing that a good young man who is worried about the country is being persecuted?

Although he doesn't know what this person has gone through, this kind of behavior is really disgusting, and he has no faith at all times and clamors to become a monk, so shouldn't all the tens of thousands of people in Dajin be like this?

Who are the soldiers guarding the country on the frontier protecting?

Jiang Chengxiao did understand the darkness of the officialdom, but he heard that he would rather be a dog of peace than a troubled person.

Even though the Great Jin Dynasty was not good in every way, at least it gave the people of the world a sense of stability.

This is much better than the Civil War 30 or [-] years ago.

He also felt aggrieved today, otherwise he would never waste his time on a stranger.

Jiang Chengxiao said coldly: "Although the world is unfair, as long as you do your best, you can have a clear conscience about whether you succeed or not. If everyone has weak beliefs like you, wouldn't it be that demons and monsters are rampant in this court?"

"If I were you, I should keep a useful body, be loyal to the country, and continue my life for the people."

Hearing this, Shangguan Di looked ashamed, and then he thought that he was really wrong. If the court officials were like him, what future would there be for Dajin?
Then he stood up and respectfully said: "Listening to your words today is like the power of enlightenment, and you should be worshiped by me."

As he said that, he bowed respectfully, and when he raised his head, he saw that Jiang Chengxiao had already stepped up the steps and left.

"What's your name?" Shangguan Di shouted behind Jiang Chengxiao.

Jiang Chengxiao immediately got goosebumps and left without looking back.If a woman calls him, he will turn back, but a man keeps saying "Lang Jun"

Even though he knew that this was Da Jin's normal address for men, he still felt uncomfortable when it came out of a strange man's mouth.

"My master is the heir of the acting prince." A servant mentioned this before leaving.

Dai Wang Shizi... Shangguan Di suddenly realized that he had seen this name in the case file, and this person had not participated in Yu Wenzhi's brutal killing.

The little monk came back to his senses and asked, "Does the benefactor still want to become a monk?"

Shangguan Di smiled and said: "No, I will not become a monk. I should keep a useful body for the country and the people. Even if I can't do anything, I still want to have a clear conscience!"

He turned around, flicked his sleeve robe, and raised his head and chest.

The slaves didn't know why the master would persuade a stranger today, but if the master didn't say anything, they naturally wouldn't ask.

Stepping up to the last step, two monks led Jiang Chengxiao into the hall.

Shenju took out two ingots of gold from the purse and put them into the treasure chest in front of the two monks.Shenju waved to the monks, signaling them to follow him out.

The two monks obeyed naturally, and left with Shenju, and Jiang Chengxiao was left alone in the hall.

There is a huge golden Buddha statue in the main hall. This Buddha has a kind face and kind eyes, and there is a golden boy on the left and right sides.

Buddha, I feel like a hypocrite now.

When he persuaded the stranger just now, he wasn't doing it for the stranger, he was just venting his oppression in his chest.

What's more, he felt disgusted. He knew that there was no hope, but he still said those high-sounding truths to that person.

As a ruling class, he brainwashed the ruled class, allowing them to continue to do things for them, the ruling class, with full hope.

He knew that the Buddha would not answer him, so he just smiled and looked at the benevolent golden Buddha statue quietly.In front of the empty hall and the huge Buddha statue, his tiny body seemed small but hard to ignore.

The victims are all dead, and the confessors are all murderers.

Good men and faithful women, the first half needs a question mark.

Good men can't survive in this era, and idealists are a joke.

But now he feels that he is even more hypocritical, because his repentance is only for a moment, and after this moment is over, he will continue to dominate the common people as the son of the prince.

In his view, this is moaning for nothing.

His confession at this moment is just to seek peace of mind.

Not only was there no fluctuation in his heart, he was even slightly happy because he was not the one being persecuted.

Watching a show is always fun.

After half a cup of tea, he left the main hall and came to a side hall instead.

This hall is dedicated to Avalokitesvara, and there are two golden boys beside him.

Jiang Chengxiao walked into the Buddhist altar, and saw a wooden plaque standing in front of one of the golden-bodied boys, with the words "Gongsun Shili" written on it.

It looks like a "survival" longevity tablet.

There is such a custom in the Jin Dynasty, if the children in the family are weak and sick, the wealthy family will set up a longevity tablet in the temple or Taoist temple, in order to seek the protection of the gods.

In the Buddhist hall of Daiwangfu, there is his longevity tablet.

After some "hypocritical" self-repentance, he found that he felt much more relaxed, as if he had really let go of his sins and started a new life.

Putting down the heavy self-blame of being an "accomplice", he stood in the courtyard of the side hall, looking at a bodhi tree, and immediately felt refreshed.

He is innocent, he is clean.

It seems that without self-psychological hints, he also takes it for granted that he is innocent.

While he was meditating on the bodhi tree, a sound of astonishment broke the silence.

He looked back and saw a slim woman in a white dress, a David hat, and a white gauze covering her face. Her slender and tight waist was like a weak willow in the wind, her slender legs were looming under the white skirt, and her breasts were even bigger. The fullness of the bulging capsule is abnormal.

"Third lady, what's the matter?"

After the woman was surprised, a person dressed as a maid and a house slave appeared on the left and right of the woman.

When the maid saw the stranger in the courtyard, she immediately stood in front of her master, but when the famous house slave saw Jiang Chengxiao, she immediately saluted, "I have seen the prince."

"You know me?" Jiang Chengxiao was a little puzzled, he had been in and out of Chang'an City frequently in the past two days, how could this person know him.

The servant said respectfully: "My son, I am a servant of the Duke of Shunguo, and yesterday my master went hunting with my son out of the city."

Jiang Chengxiao suddenly realized that he was Yu Chijing's servant.He turned his gaze to the woman in the white skirt and asked, "Who is this?"

The slave replied: "This is the third lady in the mansion."

Third Lady?
The third lady of Shunguo Duke's Mansion, isn't that his unmarried wife?

After a while, the servants and maids stood guard at the entrance of the side hall, and Jiang Chengxiao and Yuchi Sanniang stood in the courtyard, under the bodhi tree.

After a long silence, Jiang Chengxiao didn't speak, neither did Yuchi Sanniang.

According to the customs of the Jin Dynasty, unmarried women are not allowed to show their faces outside casually, let alone be alone with a man, even if this man is his husband-in-law who is about to get married.

Therefore, Sanniang Yuchi's face was flushed with embarrassment at this moment, if she hadn't been wearing a veil hat to cover it up, she might not be able to stay for a moment.

It's just that Jiang Chengxiao kept silent, and she was thinking wildly again, thinking that her fiancé was dissatisfied with her, so she became a little uneasy.

"My name is Jiang Chengxiao."

He opened his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, he announced his name.

He looked at the bodhi tree without squinting, and after saying that sentence, it seemed that he was not the one who just spoke.

"En." Yuchi Sanniang said softly.Like a mosquito humming, if it weren't for the windless courtyard and the quiet surroundings, he might not be able to hear it.

Jiang Chengxiao leaned over and picked up a bodhi leaf, put it in the palm of his hand, and said lightly: "Do you know the meaning of my name?"

Yuchi Sanniang paused, she was born in a wealthy family and had read poetry and books since she was a child, so of course she knew the meaning of his name.

But, can she say it?
No.

Therefore, she remained silent.

Jiang Chengxiao stretched out his fingers and rubbed the bodhi leaf gently, as if it was a toy.

"I heard from Brother Gongde that San Niangzi was worried about me a few days ago, thank you San Niangzi."
