Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 121
Mrs. Xue's words finally caused ripples in the hearts of Mr. Xue and Mr. Xue.

Although the two did not acknowledge the words out loud.

I didn’t refute it again.

It was finally agreed that the matter would be discussed again when Mrs. Jiang came to visit again.

Mr. Xue was thinking in his mind, if his granddaughter really made a marriage arrangement with the third son and second son of the uncle's house.

Mrs. Jiang's side cannot do without the benefits of their Xue family.

As for Mrs. Xue, the old lady originally wanted to take Mrs. Xue back home with her.

Who knows, Mr. Xue is not willing to return home now.

The old lady was also happy not to see this idiot Xue, so as not to go back to the uncle's house and cause trouble for herself every day.

The old lady was so angry that she simply left the Xue family to dry for a few days.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the eldest son, Ye Chong, hired Miss Qian.

The old lady originally wanted to follow.

But Madam Liang was afraid that her mother-in-law would go with her and cause trouble.

On the contrary, it is inappropriate.

After a few words of advice, he also said some compliments.

The eldest lady Liang said frankly that today is not a serious occasion, the old lady is old.

In the Qian family, there is no elder of the same seniority as the old lady sitting in charge.

If the old lady follows, the Qian family may not be able to entertain her well.

The old lady listened to the eldest daughter-in-law's words and took it into consideration, so she simply did not follow her.

He ordered Nanny Yuan to take out the gifts she had prepared early and ask the eldest daughter-in-law to take them to Qian's house.

Give it to Miss Qian for her.

The eldest lady, Mrs. Liang, and the third lady, Mrs. Xie, went out together.

Today, the two sisters are riding in a carriage together.

Three more carriages followed behind.

Inside are all gifts for the Qian family.

Ye Jingzhao sent his mother out.

The Lin family's carriage and horses also arrived in front of the uncle's house.

Lin Yunrong lifted the car curtain and smiled when she saw Ye Jingzhao.

beckoning her to get on the carriage,

"Sister Jing Zhao, let's go too, so as not to make Miss Xue wait for a long time."

Ye Jingzhao nodded in response as he boarded the carriage.

Originally, we had made an appointment for the three of us to go out together.

But who would have thought that last night, Xue Miaoyue ordered someone to send her a letter.

She said that she wanted to rush to burn the incense sticks, so she went ahead. She was waiting for the two of them in the temple.

Ye Jingzhao had to send his mother and aunt out tomorrow, so he couldn't leave the city too early.

So I agreed.

By the time she and Sister Lin arrived at Zhaohua Temple outside the city, Xue Miaoyue had already been in the temple for an hour and a half.

Zhaohua Temple is located sixty miles outside Kyoto. This temple was built within a few decades.

I heard that it was built by a wealthy businessman. Later, when the temple was built, he donated it.

This temple is mostly filled with Buddha statues that pray for wealth and peace.

It is a full sixty miles away from Kyoto.

Few people in Kyoto come here to burn incense.

However, Zhaohua Temple has only three or five villages within a hundred miles radius and is sparsely populated.

On weekdays, mostly wealthy businessmen from Kyoto donated money for incense.

This is what maintains the daily life of the temple.

The Xue family also adds a lot of incense money to Zhaohua Temple every year.

Therefore, everyone in the temple knows the carriages and horses of the Xue family.

When I see the Xue family's carriage and horses coming, I will immediately clean up the Zen room left by the Xue family.

In the Zen room, there was only an incense table, but not a single bottle of Buddha.

Next to the window coffin, there is a set of red painted round tables and stools.

Against the inner wall, a simple soft couch was placed.In front of the soft couch, there was a screen with the words Wanshou written on it.

Ye Jingzhao and Lin Yunrong arrived at Zhaohua Temple and learned that they had made an appointment with Xue Miaoyue.

Then he welcomed the people to the place where Xue Miaoyue rested.

As soon as the two entered the room, a damp and dark smell hit their faces.

The two of them choked and coughed twice.

He frowned unconsciously.Xue Miaoyue was sitting at the round table under the window, eating tea.

Seeing the two of them coming, he put down his tea cup, stood up with a smile, and stepped forward.

The three met and saluted.

Only then did she take a closer look at Lin Yunrong. This was the first time they had met.

"This must be Miss Lin."

Lin Yunrong smiled and nodded.

It’s been a tiring journey all the way, so sit down and have a rest. I’ll take you for a nice walk later. "Xue Miaoyue is like a host.

He greeted the two of them carefully.

After the three people sat down, the young monk from the temple came forward with tea and water, but was stopped by the maid brought by Ye Jingzhao and Lin Yunrong.

Several maids thanked the young novice, took the tea, and delivered it in person.

We had tea again and rested almost as well.

The three of them got up and started wandering around the temple.

Xue Miaoyue has been here many times and is very familiar with this place.

Therefore, he thanked the temple host for his kindness and took the two of them to wander around Zhaohua Temple in person.

"Because this temple is far away from the capital, it has a radius of hundreds of miles and is sparsely populated. If it weren't for the money donated by wealthy businessmen in Kyoto every year, it might not be open anytime soon."

Xue Miaoyue sighed while continuing to introduce the predecessor of Zhaohua Temple to the two of them.

"I heard that the person who built this temple was also a wealthy businessman. After the construction was completed, he donated the Zhaohua Temple."

"I heard that it was because of the wealthy businessman that for some reason, all of his descendants either suddenly got into trouble or disappeared. After that, they never set foot in Zhaohua Temple again."

Xue Miaoyue also heard this news from others.

"Sister Xue, why did you suddenly remember that you want to come here to offer incense?"

Ye Jingzhao asked the doubts he had always had in his heart.

Xue Miaoyue's expression suddenly darkened, and the smile on her lips also showed a bit of bitterness.

"Miss Xue, I think that pavilion is nice. I'll go and have a look first."

Lin Yunrong suddenly spoke up.

Ye Jingzhao originally wanted to go with him.

But Sister Lin signaled to her to stay with Miss Xue.

Lin Yunrong noticed something strange about Xue Miaoyue.

I guess she must have something to say to sister Jing Zhao.

She might not be able to speak if she is here.

Only then did he find an excuse to leave.

Xue Miaoyue looked at Lin Yunrong with gratitude in her eyes.

"Sister Xue, is it because of your marriage to your third brother?"

Ye Jingzhao spoke first.

Xue Miaoyue nodded first, and then shook her head.

"Although I can't change this marriage, I have already thought of a way."

"Sister Xue, what can you do?"

Ye Jingzhao asked curiously.

Xue Miaoyue refused to say.

He changed the topic and looked into the distance, "Sister Jing Zhao, I will never forget your kindness to me. I invited you here today because I want to give you a gift."

After finishing her words, Xue Miaoyue took out a purse from her arms.

Passed it to Ye Jingzhao.

Ye Jingzhao took it suspiciously.

I saw that it was a light pink brocade purse with a red camellia in full bloom embroidered on it.

A faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose.

If there is or if there is no, there is a difference.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Xue, what kind of fragrance is this? It's so magical. This is the first time I've smelled it."

"That's Leng Youxiang. I specially prepared it. It's the only one in Kyoto."

Saying that, Xue Miaoyue saw that Ye Jingzhao was still reluctant to open his purse.

He took it from her hand again, opened the purse, and took out a white jade safety buckle from it.

The safety buckle is tied with a red rope.

"This safety buckle was a birthday gift from my parents when I was three years old. It has been with me for more than ten years. Now I give it to sister Jing Zhao."

"Sister Jing Zhao must be taken good care of."
