Chang'an is good

Chapter 54 Entering the Temple
Ming Luo, the lord of Gu'an County, and a group of palace attendants accompanied Emperor Shengchi to the temple.

Then came the civil and military officials in court uniform, and some gentry patriarchs.

The family members of the officials and the young children of the gentry followed at the end in turn.

"...If my father didn't come, my mother pushed me out. This time, I have to stay for seven days. Seven days, won't this kill me?" A young man in brocade clothes complained.

Cui Tang didn't bother to pay attention to his second brother, and looked over the crowd, looking at the figure who was leading his subordinates to arrange for Xuan Ce's army to guard the Dayun Temple.

This time the sage went out, the Xuance army was responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial court.

Cui Lang followed her line of sight and nodded with satisfaction: "Every time I see my elder brother's outstanding appearance and majestic appearance, I can't help but sigh with emotion, he really deserves to be born by a father—"

Cui Tang answered the words calmly: "But there is a world of difference."

"How do you talk?" Cui Lang stared: "You and I have twins, I am Rang, what are you?"

"So what about twins, you and I share the same brain."

"What do you mean by that?" Cui Lang reacted, his head was smoking with anger, and he was about to hit his sister with the folding fan in his hand.

Cui Tang took two quick steps, Cui Lang was in a hurry to chase, and accidentally bumped into someone.

The one who was hit was a girl in a tea-white cloak. She looked terrified, and hurriedly supported the maid beside her, and exclaimed in a low and uneasily voice: "Xiaoqiu!"

The maid hurriedly protected him: "The maid is here, don't be afraid, girl!"

Cui Lang originally wanted to make amends, but seeing the girl's flustered and terrified expression, as if the master and servant were setting up a stage to sing an opera, he couldn't help saying: "Just bumped it lightly, what's the matter?"

Nowadays, why are the little ladies in the capital more pretentious than the other?
"Your Majesty...you bumped into someone, why are you still talking like this?" The servant girl blushed with anger, but she couldn't say anything harsh.

The girl held her arm tightly, not daring to let go.

"Why, is this trying to extort money from me, or is it because Hun'er was frightened away and I have to call Hun'er?" Cui Lang was originally a well-known playboy, and at this moment he showed an attitude of being generous.

"you……"

The girl seemed to have settled down, and said to the maidservant: "Xiao Qiu, let him go.

Cui Lang let out a "tch", and walked away swaggeringly, waving his fan.

Cui Tang stepped forward and blessed Fushen: "My brother was rude, I will make up for it on his behalf."

The girl nodded lightly, her voice was also very soft: "It's okay..."

Cui Tang noticed something strange about the girl, out of etiquette, he didn't take a closer look, and after another blessing, he left with the maid.

"Where is brother?" The girl said: "Let's wait for brother first before going in."

The envoy named Xiaoqiu looked at the boy who was approaching: "Mr. Lang is here!"

The young man seemed to have seen the scene just now, walked over quickly, and asked with concern: "Mianmian, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." The girl shook her head and asked, "Where did brother go?"

"Just now an adult from the Hanlin Academy came to talk to me, asking about my father's recent situation, and I answered a few words." Qiao Yubai said, looking forward, and said with a smile: "Ningning is here!"

It was indeed Chang Suining who came over with Xi'er: "Second brother."

Qiao Yubai smiled and nodded: "I thought it was a mistake before, but I didn't expect that Ningning really came."

The girl beside him stretched out her hand subconsciously: "Ningning?"

Chang Suining was slightly taken aback, guessing her identity by herself, but——

She took a step forward, held the hand that was reaching out to her, and called out: "Sister Mianmian."

"Since you can come out to pray, you must be in good health?" Qiao Yumian asked in a low voice: "I heard from my elder brother and my mother that my head was also injured... Are you all healed now?"

"No serious problem." Chang Suining replied, holding her hand and walking slowly forward, but he was puzzled.

Only now did she know what Qiao Yubai meant when she asked Qiao Yumian why she didn't come back when she first returned to Chang's Mansion, "Mianmian is inconvenient to go out at all".

But it was clear when I was young, why can't my eyes see it now?

After entering the temple, Emperor Shengchi led his ministers to the main hall to offer incense.

Ming Luo took the three sticks of green incense from the female envoy, lit them on top of the sesame oil, and handed them back to the Holy Book Emperor.

The Holy Book Emperor held the incense and closed his eyes. After worshiping in front of the Buddha statue, he inserted the green incense firmly into the incense burner.

After offering incense, Emperor Shengji, accompanied by the abbot Wujue, left the main hall, and Chang Suining bowed his eyes in the crowd to send him off, only the hem of the gown robe could be seen from the corner of his eyes, being surrounded and slowly going away.

After the Holy Book Emperor walked away, everyone straightened up just now.

Chang Suining looked in the direction where Emperor Shengji and Master Wujue were leaving, and saw Cui Jing also following him, and when he looked up, he saw a towering spire in front of him.

"The sage is about to enter the Tiannv Pagoda... We can't follow there."

"Let's go, let's also go to the temple to burn incense."

Several female relatives chatted and entered the hall together.

"Sister Chang!"

A joyful call came to his ears, and Chang Suining turned his head to look over, showing a smile: "Miss Yao."

Yao Xia and a group of Yao family women walked over.

Yao Ran and Chang Suining also nodded.

"Grandmother, A Niang, this is the elder sister of the Chang family that I often refer to!" Yao Xia said to Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Zeng.

"No wonder our A-Xia keeps talking about it." Mrs. Yao nodded with a smile, and Mrs. Zeng also praised her.

Yao Gui on the side was stunned, he was pinched secretly by Yao Xia, and he just came back to his senses.

"Old lady, it's time to enter the palace to offer incense." Pei reminded with no expression on his face.

Mrs. Yao nodded kindly: "Go in."

"Sister Chang, I heard that we can go to see the idol later, and then we will go there together." Yao Xia entered the hall and whispered to Chang Suining.

Chang Suining nodded in response.

There is an elephant garden in the Dasheng Palace, and several white elephants are raised. Because the elephants have always been regarded as the embodiment of auspiciousness by the Dasheng people, the elephants raised in the palace are called gods.

It is said that Emperor Shengchi prayed for blessings this time, and ordered craftsmen to build a huge tripod, which will be transported to Dayun Temple by elephant cart later.

The blessing ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow, today is just coming early to prepare for tomorrow's main hall, so after offering incense in the main hall, all the officials' families, under the guidance of the monks in the temple, took their servants to the various meditation rooms to resettle.

Under the arrangement of Wujue, the abbot of the temple, Chang Suining and Qiao Yumian were allocated a Buddhist temple alone, and some monks brought snacks and fast meals in advance.

Chang Suining saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help feeling that Wujue, as the master abbot of Dayun Temple, didn't have the lofty awareness to treat all beings equally——

From the point of view of conscience, she disagrees with the other party's way of knowing how to go through the back door and open the door, but from the point of view of feeling, she is very pleased.

Qiao Yumian was not in good health, so she went back to her room to sleep after finishing her fast.

Xi'er originally wanted to ask her girl if she would also like to take a nap, but seeing that her girl was full of energy and seemed to be able to run around the Dayun Temple ten times in no time, she swallowed the extra words.

It was also at this time that Chang Suining was able to ask: "Sister Mianmian's eyes, did you suffer any injuries?"

　It's been a drowsy day today, sorry for the late update.

　　There are two more, later~
