Looking at Nangong Lin who was kneeling in front of her, Su's face sank like water, and she said in her heart: Huang is so bold that he secretly sold the collections in the mansion, and even intends to blame Lin! Now that the Dongchuang incident happened, he just grounded Huang, but It would be the best of humanity not to divorce her and return to her natal family. Now she is still thinking about going to Bailong Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha together
In the blink of an eye, seeing Nangong Lin's forehead kneaded green again, Su's heart became more and more unhappy. If others see this, they will think how harshly they are blaming the concubine's granddaughter!
"Sister Lin," said Su Shi, looking at Nangong Lin with disgust, "Since you are so filial to your mother, you should stay in the mansion today and be filial to your mother."
Nangong Lin was dumbfounded, then frightened and shook her head desperately. "No, no, grandma..."
Su Shi didn't want to hear any more, so he waved his hand, "Take her down."
As soon as the words fell, two women with big arms and round waists grabbed Nangong Lin's arms and dragged her down. Nangong Lin still wanted to talk, but she heard a woman whispering in her ear: "Fourth Miss, don't make things difficult for this old slave."
When Nangong Yue and Lin came back from a stroll, they found that everyone else had arrived, except that Nangong Yan and Nangong Lin were missing.
Su Shi glanced around the crowd indifferently, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Sister Yan?"
Mrs. Zhao stepped forward respectfully: "Just as I was about to report to my mother, Sister Yan was unwell and couldn't go."
Su didn't ask any more questions, and said: "Since everyone is here, let's go."
The carriages and personnel needed for this trip were already waiting in the outer courtyard, but there was one more person who surprised everyone.
"Fourth Uncle!" Nangong Cheng was the first to blurt out, unexpectedly, Nangong Cheng would be waiting for them beside the carriage.
Nangong Cheng was wearing a dark blue riding suit with narrow sleeves, with bright yellow forged edges on the cuffs and neckline, looking a little more handsome and chic than usual. He quickly glanced at Su Qingping who was haggard behind Su's. These days, he heard that his Qingqing was not feeling well, which made him very worried. However, as a man, it is not convenient for him to enter the inner house, and he did not have the opportunity until today.
Nangong Cheng flicked his horsewhip and went forward to salute Su Shi, "Mother, son heard that mother is going to bring his sister-in-law and nieces to worship Buddha at Bailong Temple today, thinking that today is just free, why don't you let your son escort you there?" .”
Although Nangong Cheng is asking, but he is already here, so how can he drive him away.
Su looked up at him, and couldn't help but sneer. Ping Ping is a concubine, and the fourth child is far behind the third child. The third child is in charge of the general affairs of the mansion, although he can't make any great contributions, but he is quite satisfactory and has not made any mistakes. And this old four is not good at martial arts, he just idles around on weekdays, so he knows to get on the girls in the house... If his Aunt Liu sees her precious son turned into this, I don't know if she will be so angry that she will get out of the coffin jump out.
A sneer flashed in her eyes, and she said: "Since we are here, let's go together." After finishing speaking, Su Qingping helped her into the first carriage.
From the moment the fourth uncle appeared, Nangong Yue had been observing Su Qingping carefully, but she didn't expect that Su Qingping was really calm. She obviously didn't expect the fourth uncle to appear, but after a brief surprise Afterwards, she quickly calmed down, and she didn't even look at Fourth Uncle, always looking like a lady with her eyes fixed on her and her eyebrows lowered.
There are four carriages in the mansion, which look plain and unpretentious on the outside, but the interior of the carriages is fully furnished, with extremely soft cushions laid to minimize bumps.
There are four carriages, one for Su Shi and Su Qingping, one for Zhao Shi and Nangong Cheng, another for Lin Shi and Nangong Yue, all the maids who are close to him get into the master's carriage, and the last one is for others Arranged by the accompanying maid and mother-in-law.
Bailong Temple is located in the eastern outskirts of the capital, and it takes about an hour's drive from Nangong Mansion. In order to travel safely, the Zhao family sent more than a dozen nursing homes to go together, and there were no accidents along the way.
It is said that the incense of Bailong Temple is very effective, so there is an endless stream of pilgrims who come to offer incense every day.
The carriage stopped in front of Bailong Temple, and everyone got off the carriage one by one. The sweeping monk outside the temple just glanced casually when he saw Su's group.
Su's face remained calm, but he felt emotional in his heart. He remembered that more than 30 years ago, when he came to Bailong Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha, the abbot of the temple would go out to greet him every time. How could even a floor sweeping monk be so contemptuous of him now? .
The guards stayed outside to guard the carriage, while Su Shi led a group of female relatives, maidservants, and wives into the White Dragon Temple.
A few days ago, the Nangong family had sent the nanny in charge to the White Dragon Temple to arrange the worship of the Buddha. A five or six-year-old novice was waiting at the door and led them to the main hall.
Sure enough, the White Dragon Temple was full of incense, and there were many pilgrims. As soon as the Su family and his party entered the main hall, it seemed extremely crowded.
Mrs. Su felt unhappy, and remembered that every time she went to Bailong Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha, the temple would be temporarily closed, and no one else was allowed to enter, but now she is neglected by this, and she has to squeeze together with a group of people to offer incense. It's a world of difference!
The Su family suddenly remembered the birthday banquet a few days ago, and he sent invitations to most of the dignitaries in the capital early on, but on the day of the birthday banquet, some people deliberately came late, and there were several families who were not polite enough. arrive. ... The reason why I have been neglected and humiliated like this is all because the Nangong family has lived in seclusion for many years.
She is not reconciled, really not reconciled!
Su Clan gritted her teeth secretly, and decided in her heart that she must let the Nangong family become strong again in her own hands and regain their honor!
"Grandmother," at this moment, a soft voice rang in Su's ear, "Your complexion doesn't look very good, did you just get bumped in the carriage? Would you like to sit down in the side hall to rest?" a break?"
It was Nangong Cheng who spoke, and she was looking at Su Shi with concern. On her beautiful face, Liu Mei frowned slightly, looking worried.
Su Shi looked at this eldest granddaughter whom he had always placed high hopes on, with slightly warm eyes. She patted Nangong Cheng's hand and smiled gently: "Grandmother is fine, sister Cheng don't worry."
There was a sneer in Nangong Yue's heart, and she naturally noticed Su Shi's strangeness. The reason is nothing more than Su's unwillingness and dissatisfaction. And in the previous life, it was because of my grandmother's dissatisfaction that the Nangong family caused a catastrophe!
"Mother," Mrs. Zhao walked up to Mrs. Su, and said softly, "My daughter-in-law has sent someone to donate five hundred taels of sesame oil to the temple, and asked them to arrange a room for us to rest."
Su Shi nodded, agreeing. Nangong Cheng resigned tactfully, and was led around by a monk who knew the guest.
Led by the little novice monk, a group of female relatives went to the wing room at the back of the west side hall.
Two young novice monks served hot tea for them, and Su Shi just took a sip when she heard a report from a woman outside the door, saying that it was the wife of Chen Lin, a cabinet scholar, who came to see Su Shi.
Su's eyebrows and eyes moved, and he hurriedly said "please".
