Chapter 284 Old Acquaintance (5)
Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to see Mrs. Du with a half-smile on her face. She really couldn't figure out what her own mother was thinking.In fact, what Mrs. Du was thinking was very simple, she just felt that Du Ruo and Liu Qiqiao had performed such a good show, fooling the two old people into making Liu Qiqiao look like a fairy.

It's not the daughter-in-law she likes, Mrs. Du always feels a little awkward in her heart.In fact, to be honest, Liu Qiqiao has a beautiful appearance and a kind heart. Apart from the fact that her background is a little bit out of reach, it is not impossible for Mrs. Du to bear it for the sake of her son's happiness.Besides, seeing that she can make so many pastries and pasta, it shouldn't be hard for her son to follow her.But... Mrs. Du always felt that Liu Qiqiao was still a little bit worse.

Du Ruo didn't know Mrs. Du's thoughts, and she was afraid of messing up the matter, and her heart was also in a state of turmoil.But at last the journey went smoothly, and the large troops came to Fahua Temple.

It is a big event for the old concubine to come to offer incense, so the servants of the palace came to place the order two days earlier and reserved the courtyard of the meditation room.Mrs. Lao Hou is a frequent visitor here and has her own long-term private room, so the Du family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also lived with her in her courtyard.

Fahua Temple is backed by Zhongshan Mountain and facing Zixia Lake in front, with excellent scenery.Looking down from the bell tower on the back mountain, the lake and mountains are beautiful and the scenery is beautiful.When everyone arrived at Fahua Temple, it was almost noon, Liu Qiqiao supported the princess, let her sit on the couch brought along with her to rest, she and Qingmei were responsible for the decoration of the room.All the furnishings outside were handled by a few old mothers, but they were tidied up in a short while.

The woman who was in charge of delivering meals had already gone to the kitchen of the Buddhist monastery, and watched the master monk there make fresh vegetarian dishes, put them into food boxes and bring them back to the courtyard.

The old princess has a strong body, and she started to walk around in the hall, looked around and said: "Hey, when the old prince went to these meditation rooms, I lived here for half a year, and the Guanyin statue in the middle was given by the prince at that time. Those who came to offer offerings are still here without moving."

Chunyue beside the old concubine said: "At first I thought the temple was full of smoke and fire, and I brought a cloisonne three-legged elephant trunk incense burner specially to smoke some usual incense for my ancestors. Now I smell the sandalwood The breath is not choking."

The old concubine smiled and said: "You have intentions, but the incense used here is all high-quality sandalwood, which is specially made by Fahua Temple. Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy it in the world. It is all here. It is not the first-class Buddhist monastery that has been carefully developed by the master who has attained the Tao, and it is not supplied."

When Chunyue heard the words, she smiled and said, "It's the servants who have been honored by our ancestors."

After a while, all the women who passed on the meal came back, and all the dishes were put down, all of which were the famous vegetarian dishes of Fahua Temple.The princess felt refreshed, so she also came out to eat with the old princess.

It is a very simple five dishes and one soup, namely emerald tofu, stir-fried vegetables, mushrooms boiled in tomato, green beans in white sauce, braised winter bamboo shoots, and vegetable ball soup.

The old concubine and the concubine used it for a while, and the woman in charge outside came in to reply, saying that it was hot this afternoon, and it was clear that the master would give a lecture tomorrow morning, just in time for the ladies to have a rest in the afternoon.

Liu Qiqiao knew that even though Fahua Temple, a relatively high-end Buddhist temple in the capital, was not a royal temple, it mostly served the nobles. Naturally, the work and rest time would be adjusted for the pilgrims.
