When the words fell, I saw Hu Po, the girl next to Mrs. Fang, come in. Seeing them, she smiled and said: "Our old lady asked the eldest grandma and the aunts to go over and talk, and it happened that Hua Daopo also came, and the old lady said big Grandma should also ask her to offer you a lamp."

"Why do I have to offer lamps? Doesn't it cost money to offer lamps?" Su Nuannuan just felt strange. She ate well and slept well, so why would she need to offer lamps to pray for blessings? Those lamp oil coins are not a small amount. If you have that money, you might as well use it to help the poor.

Hu Po, Aunt Jing and the others all laughed, Aunt Lin shook her head and said: "The whole family is looking at grandma now, but you don't care about it yourself. You have been married to the eldest son for five years, and there is no movement in your stomach. Can the old lady not be in a hurry?"

Amber also smiled and said, "Grandma doesn't need to worry about money, you just need to contribute a few fresh food, and some people will help you with this money."

"What did you say? It's like I'm an iron rooster. If that's the case, then I'll go there and ask the flower lady to offer a lamp for me." Su Nuannuan was a little embarrassed by the words, so she had to agree Well, as a foodie, she is already well-known in the capital, and she absolutely doesn't want to add a reputation of being a money buff to it.

When I came to Mrs. Fang's place, I heard Hua Daopo talking about the Water and Land Ceremony held in Pushan Temple a few days ago. Mrs. Yang, Liu Min, Shi Yurou and others were also there at that time, and everyone listened with great interest. Mrs. Fang said regretfully: "It's a pity that I am old now, otherwise there would be such a lively scene, so I would go and see what I said."

Liu Min said with a smile: "If the old lady wants to go, it's actually not far away. There are horse-drawn carriages on the road, and porters will carry them up the mountain. I heard that the chrysanthemums in Pushan Temple are the best. Wait until after the Double Ninth Festival. Let's pick a day to go there, since we can climb the mountain Wouldn't it be nice to see the scenery and relax and admire the chrysanthemums?"

Shi Yurou was also on the sidelines and said: "Mrs. Min's idea is good. I ordered the monks to clean up the temple a few days in advance. When that day comes, no one who is idle is allowed to enter. Let the old ancestors take a stroll quietly .”

Hua Daopo was also very happy, and clasped her hands together and recited the Buddha's words: "If so, I will follow the old lady to gain glory. Usually, when I go to the temple, there are too many people. Don't talk about shopping in a quiet place, just find a place with no voice. Everywhere is difficult."

The old lady Fang was a little moved by them. Just seeing Su Nuannuan and others coming in, she smiled and said: "Nuannuan. You haven't gone out for a long time, right? Why don't you go out and play while the autumn is clear?"

Su Nuannuan was taken aback, wondering why the old lady suddenly thought of this? But... This proposal is very exciting, I have been through since time travel. I haven't been out of the Marquis's Mansion yet, to take a look at the prosperity of this superficial era, I only hear Duan Tingxuan talk about the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the people, the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the people and so on. Good guy, just listen to what he has to say. This is even more prosperous than the prosperous Chang'an in our history, is it possible? You have to see it with your own eyes to know the truth.

Thinking this way, he smiled and said: "Why did the old lady suddenly think of this? If you are always moving You Xing, we grandsons and daughters-in-law will naturally have to accompany us. Where are we going?"

The old lady Fang became more and more excited, told Su Nuannuan about Hua Daopo's words, and then sighed: "When I was young, I also accompanied my mother and mother-in-law to Pushan Temple. It's not big, I don't know what it has become now."

Hua Daopo hurriedly said: "It's amazing there now. The incense is flourishing and the scenery is beautiful. It's not worse than Huguo Temple at all. I heard that several princesses often go there. If the old lady and grandma go there again, They're probably going to be more famous."

"Nonsense, we are just a marquis's mansion, how can we have such a big influence? Don't get excited, you old bastard, and start talking nonsense again." Mrs. Fang laughed and scolded, but Hua Daopo laughed and said: "It's absolutely true, Mrs. It goes without saying that the wife is the mother of the empress. Among the women in the capital, who is more beautiful than the grandma? I heard that even the emperor and empress praised the birthday cake you made. It is like the pastry in the mansion Shops and restaurants are about to open? It hasn’t opened yet, and those rich and noble families are all stretching their necks to wait, saying that many things are only eaten at the house, and it’s okay to spend 11,000 taels of silver elsewhere. buy it anywhere."

The words made Mrs. Fang even happier. Now that the country is prosperous and powerful, everyone knows the benefits of making money. Therefore, the regulation of "honorable officials are not allowed to do business" more than a hundred years ago has become a dead letter, and even the emperor sent someone to run the royal family. As for the industry, not to mention the honorable ministers, but there must be a sense of propriety in this, and the posture should be higher. The vulnerable people who are really ruined for the sake of huge profits will be ruined. Once exposed, the censors can use a brush If you participate in it, your reputation will be ruined, and life would be worse than death.

Taking advantage of her joy, Mrs. Fang said to Su Nuannuan, "Whether you will go or not after the Double Ninth Festival is still uncertain. I may not be able to go with my body, but you must go. You yourself, and for our family business, you should go to pay gods and worship Buddha, not to mention, the time you almost died in Meiyuelou, how could you know that it was not the blessings of gods and Buddhas?"

Su Nuannuan said, old lady, gods and Buddhas did not bless your granddaughter-in-law, but he blesses me—a foodie from the 21st century. But since Mrs. Fang said so, Su Nuannuan was tired of being locked up in the mansion, thinking that the Double Ninth Festival would be a refreshing autumn, and it would be nice to go out for a walk, so she agreed with a smile.

As a result, everyone in the mansion was envious and urged their masters to go to Pushan Temple with the eldest grandma that day, and even Fang Laotai asked Qiu Ling to prepare.

After the Double Ninth Festival in a blink of an eye, Shi Yurou sent someone to Pushan Temple to say hello. The abbot of the temple knew that this was a big patron, and also knew that Anping Hou Shizi and Shizi's wife were the focus of everyone's attention in the capital. Come to offer incense, are you afraid that the incense will not be more prosperous in the future? At that time, I am afraid that even the Huguo Temple will not be able to compare with myself. So the whole temple mobilized together, carefully prepared, without mentioning it.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a big commotion this time. The old lady will come here to flatter you, even the female relatives from the aristocratic families who have made good friends with us. This time, Pushan Temple may be even more lively than before."

The setting sun has disappeared into the mountains, but the earth still has afterglow. A dining table and two chairs were placed on the balcony of Chunfengyuan. Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan sat opposite each other, chatting while eating, and sometimes the cool breeze blowing on the face made people feel refreshed.

This is still Su Nuannuan's habit of eating at Meiyuelou after crossing. The young master also fell in love with this way after he went to eat, so now he moved back to Chunfengyuan. As long as the weather is suitable, he will also set up the dining table to eat. The view It's open and cool, and accompanied by delicious meals, and a confidante, it's really refreshing and happy like a fairy.
