"Really? I didn't expect the old lady to be so excited. I thought she was only passionate for three minutes." Su Nuannuan picked up a stick of fish-flavored eggplant and stuffed it into her mouth. If she didn't eat it, Duan Tingxuan would eat it up .
"Three minutes of blood?" The young master raised his head in doubt, but his wife said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of interest for a while, and the interest will disappear after a while."
Duan Tingxuan didn't bother to delve into it, and said with a smile: "The old lady likes to be lively, since she doesn't feel too tired, I might as well accompany her to have fun."
"Although I said so, how is the law and order inside and outside the capital? I heard that there are a lot of bandits and thieves active, how about it? Have they all been arrested?" This is what Su Nuannuan is most concerned about. If the law and order is not stable, She really didn't dare to go to Pushan Temple with such a big fanfare. You know, in the eyes of those lawless guys, the female family members of the Anping Hou Mansion are nothing more than a big fat sheep, or the kind that has been roasted and tender on the outside, and dripping oil on the inside. If it doesn't work, it's a fright.
"It's okay, hundreds of people have been arrested. I heard that they are all desperadoes who escaped from Chongguo." Duan Tingxuan picked up the last few sticks of fish-flavored eggplant and put them in his mouth: "For this, Dali The Ministry of Justice, the Imperial Forest Army, and even the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Camp have not stopped for more than two months. At first, I thought it was a slap in the face to make the courtiers work hard for these bandits. Seeing who has been victimized, it can be seen that I am overthinking."
"Be careful sailing for thousands of years. You are a courtier, so you should be more concerned." Su Nuannuan put down the bowl: "In that case, then I can rest assured, otherwise, seeing everyone in the mansion laughing these days, I really don't care." Some people can't bear to pour cold water on it."
Duan Tingxuan laughed and said, "Why are you pouring cold water? All the children and family members will go, and there must be a large group of nurses. Which blind thief do you think would dare to provoke us? Not to mention that I will go with you."
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "That's right, with you as a top expert, why should I worry about it? What I should worry about is Pushan Temple. Once those thieves don't have eyes and really rush out and get stabbed, they will be killed." If it is buried in the ground, will it pollute the cleanliness of Buddhism? That's right. Then the whole mountain should not be the property of Pushan Temple, right?"
"They think about it. But it's just a beautiful idea. Are there few examples in history that the whole country's worship of Buddha caused the people to live in poverty? Today's wise and powerful people will never sit back and watch this kind of sign of national subjugation happen." After Duan Tingxuan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand Lazy. Smash it, smash it and said: "What kind of fish is steamed today? It tastes really good."
Su Nuannuan glared at him angrily: "Did you do it on purpose? You knew it was a fortune, but you insisted on snatching one. Isn't it the barracuda that you often eat? What's so strange, it's because of you. go hand in hand."
The voice fell. Just listen to Zhaocai's "mi woo". Duan Tingxuan picked up a piece of fishbone from the table and flicked it with his fingers. Hitting the black flower in the money-making room, he laughed and said, "If you ate one of your fish, you would scream. Why don't you count how much you stole from me? I don't know if your grandma will help you hide it from me." Have you? Let you live to this day to thank me for not killing me. Besides, didn’t I share half of the sausage with you today? As a cat in the Spring Breeze Garden, you should be tolerant and remember the master’s wishes. Do good deeds and forget the master's evil deeds. This is the rule you should follow."
"How can a person be so shameless?" Su Nuannuan sighed while holding her forehead, and the girls covered their mouths and held back their laughter. Not to mention how hard it was.
"Grandma, the Pushan Temple is right in front of you. Look, it is really majestic. The temple was originally built on the mountainside."
Xiangyun opened the curtain of the carriage, and looked out with his head, so that Su Nuannuan couldn't help but look out, and saw that there were continuous mountains in front of him, on the highest mountain in the middle, and there was a majestic building complex halfway up the mountain , The bell rang, adding a little bit of solemnity, that is Pushan Temple.
"The way down is probably going to be on foot, and the carriage can't get on." Su Nuannuan got out of the carriage, and Zhaocai jumped off after her. The big tabby cat was wearing a brocade vest, with quilted cotton on its four paws The small brocade shoes, striding forward and looking forward, are very eye-catching in the crowd.
Dozens of sedan chair bearers came over with the soft sedan chair, Duan Tingxuan was arranging for Mrs. Fang to get into the soft sedan chair, when suddenly he heard the sound of horses' hoofs galloping towards him, he looked back and saw several horses galloping towards them.
When they got close, the leading rider jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Duan Tingxuan and whispered a few words in Duan Tingxuan's ear, which made the expression of the little Hou Ye who was always calm changed instantly.
"Grandmother, you have arrived at Pushan Temple. The abbot and monks are all here, so you are safe. If your grandson has something to do, you must rush back to the capital immediately. You should pay attention to the Buddha on the mountain and wait for me to come to pick you up. If you don’t see me, just stay overnight in a Buddhist temple.”
"What happened?"
Mrs. Fang took her grandson's hand and asked urgently. From Duan Tingxuan's expression, the old lady could feel that something important had happened.
"It's nothing, it's just that some thieves have lost their minds and went crazy. They wanted to assassinate the prince, but they have already been killed." After Duan Tingxuan finished speaking, he patted the back of the old lady's hand, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly seeing Su Nuannuan, Xu Ranyun, Xue Zhilan and others coming together, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Nuannuan's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Nuannuan, something happened to the prince, I have to go back immediately to deal with it, Mr. I will hand over to you my wife and my wife and this large group of people. Be sure to wait for me to pick you up at the Buddhist temple, understand?"
"Understood, you go back quickly." Although they are not real husband and wife, they are real friends. The fate of the two is connected, so at this time, Su Nuannuan knows that she must also be the backbone of Duan Tingxuan.
Sure enough, her performance didn't disappoint Duan Tingxuan. She didn't turn pale like Xu Ranyun, Xue Zhilan, etc., nor did she ask questions with eager chatter. She just said eight words calmly, these eight words, Let the young master feel at ease all of a sudden, nodded, he took another deep look at his wife, stepped forward suddenly, hugged her into his arms in front of everyone, and whispered in her ear Said: "I leave it to you."
This hug was very short, so short that before Su Nuannuan could react, Duan Tingxuan had already strode away. She turned her head, and saw the man under the sun turned his horse, his movements were extremely agile, then he turned the horse's head, and he was surrounded by several royal soldiers, and the red cloak fluttered in the autumn wind with a dazzling and gorgeous color. gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared.
"Old ladies and wives don't have to worry, if something happens, you will naturally be able to catch it with your hands." Su Nuannuan lost her mind for a moment at the galloping figure, but soon she came back to her senses and came to the old lady Fang Smile and comfort.
"I don't know why, but my heart is beating so fast." Mrs. Fang took Su Nuannuan's hand, and said angrily: "Oh! It's my fault too. I'm so old, why bother? Nothing but Xuan The energy of the son, the prince... nothing will happen, right? The queen has only one son."
"No, you are overthinking." Su Nuannuan smiled like a flower, and in the eyes of Mrs. Fang, this smile actually had the power to calm people's hearts. She nodded, and seeing that the abbot of Pushan Temple had come up to him chanting the Buddha's name, she suppressed all the troubles in her heart and saluted with a smile.
The Pushan Temple is very magnificent. The whole family surrounded the old lady and walked around halfway. Don't you just can't hold on anymore
Mrs. Yang and Liu Min accompanied Mrs. Fang into the guest room that had been arranged by the temple to rest. Xu Ranyun and Xue Zhilan also followed in, so there were not many opportunities to have fun in front of their elders, so they naturally couldn't let it go.
Su Nuannuan was not in the mood, so she called Aunt Jing, and the two sat under the big tree in the courtyard. Su Nuannuan asked in a low voice: "It was said earlier that some wealthy families would come with us to worship the Buddha. How come there is still no one around?"
Aunt Jing smiled and said: "It's just such a tone, and I didn't say that I would definitely come over. My sister never cares about these entertainments, why is she concerned today?"
Su Nuannuan said in a deep voice: "When the master left, he entrusted this family to me. Naturally, I have to take care of everyone. No, I have to send someone down the mountain to check the situation. If it is dispatched, even if not all of those honorable families come to flatter, it is impossible that there is no one who comes to flatter like now, this thing is quite strange."
Aunt Jing is also in charge of a few people in the mansion now, and when she heard Su Nuannuan say this, her complexion became serious, she called the girl beside her, Zhuxiu, and carefully ordered: "Go to the front hall and let the housekeeper Zhuang find some smart-legged My boy, go down the mountain and take a look along the road back to Beijing, if there is anything wrong, come back and report immediately."
"yes."
Zhuxiu agreed, and hurried away, here Aunt Jing said: "Sister, don't worry, Anpinghou's Mansion is quite prestigious in the capital, I don't believe anyone would dare to break ground on Taisui's head." Nuannuan said indifferently: "Even the crown prince has been assassinated, how can our Anping Hou Mansion be bigger than the crown prince? What's more, the Lord said before leaving that we would wait for him at the Buddhist temple. If he doesn't come to pick him up, he would rather let us Staying in a Buddhist temple, you are not allowed to return to Beijing without authorization, I always feel that there seems to be some doubts in his words."
Aunt Jing was silent, knowing that Su Nuannuan was right, but she still didn't quite believe that someone would dare to attack the Anping Hou Mansion, so she lowered her voice and reminded: "Sister, we can just say this, and we must not let people Listen to it, otherwise these servants will be in chaos in an instant, and even the old ladies may not be able to suppress it."
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I can't be so modest? In the end, it's just my guess. In fact, I also think that no one should attack us old and weak women and children, but there is always nothing wrong with being careful." , It’s better if nothing happens, once something happens, you can deal with it as soon as possible, so you won’t be caught off guard.”
