Chapter 58

058 Shangxiang of Lingyuan Temple

The next day, under the leadership of the old lady, all the women of the Shen family went to the famous Lingyuan temple in the capital to offer incense.

The main purpose of this incense is to pray for the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has been ill in bed since she was infected with wind and cold half a month ago. The emperor was a dutiful son. Seeing that the Empress Dowager had been ill for a long time, he was very anxious. First he burned incense and offered sacrifices, and then he prayed for vegetarianism. He hoped that his piety would move heaven and let the Empress Dowager recover as soon as possible. The emperor was still like this. The imperial concubines and courtiers naturally followed suit from top to bottom. They wore vegetarian clothes, bathed in vegetarian food, burned incense and prayed for God's blessing every day.

The prime minister's residence is no exception.

Five exquisite and luxurious carriages are lined up. The carriages are wrapped in silk, and the gold inlaid window is covered by a curtain of light blue crepe, which is indescribably rich and luxurious. The five sisters of the Shen family each took a personal servant girl. Shen Qingru took aster, Shen Muyun took Jinxiu, and the other Shen Mingxian, Shen Huajing and Shen Huiyu stood quietly behind the old lady with a servant girl.

The old lady, dressed in a high command, was served by her wife, and was supported by four close servant girls to board the carriage. In low order, the old lady sat in the first carriage. The Qin family followed closely and took the second carriage behind the old lady, while the Sanfang Gao family followed the Qin family. The other sisters of the Shen family took their servant girls and sat in the carriage at the back of the order.

Shen Qingru watched Qin and his third aunt Gao get on the carriage and turned to the fourth carriage. Just before boarding, Jinxiu, Shen Muyun's servant girl, intentionally or unintentionally blocked in front of aster and helped Shen Muyun to board the carriage first. Shen Muyun lifted her skirt and glanced provocatively across Shen Qingru's face. She was on the light couch and carriage, with a noble and elegant posture.

"You..." Ziwan hurried. The second young lady and jinxiute bullied people. The eldest young lady is the first daughter of the house. Now she is the head of the county. The second young lady doesn't respect the eldest sister everywhere, but she has to put pressure on everything.

Shen Qingru shook his head slightly and stopped the aster.

Shen Muyun likes provocation, so let her. Shen Qingru doesn't bother to pay attention. She would not take such childish encouragement to heart.

What she wants to see is that Shen Muyun and Xiao Qiyu are two dog men and women. Life is better than death!

"Qingru, come and sit with grandma." the old lady looked through the carriage window and greeted her granddaughter with a smile.

"Yes." Shen Qingru obeys good advice. The old lady's carriage decoration is more luxurious and rich than other carriages, and the interior is more comfortable. She would rather stay comfortably in the old lady's carriage for a few hours than quarrel with Shen Muyun in the carriage.

Shen Muyun immediately looked forward to the old lady and hoped that the old lady would let her get on the first carriage. The old lady turned away unintentionally and completely ignored the desire on the face of her once favorite granddaughter.

Seeing this, Shen Muyun angrily boarded the fourth carriage. Shen Mingxian and Shen Huiyu naturally didn't want to take her car and ran towards the fifth carriage hand in hand. Even Shen Huajing, who always looked at her followers, hesitated slightly and turned to follow Shen Mingxian.

Shen Muyun slammed the curtain angrily. Hum, will love come or not? It's more comfortable for her to enjoy a carriage alone.

Shen Qingru boarded the carriage with the old lady, took the tea set from Mammy, and made a pot of Biluochun for the old lady first. The old lady looked at the curling tea smoke, smelled the dense tea fragrance and took a sip. She couldn't help but exclaim, "it's as clear as tea. The art of tea is good."

"Qingru is lucky to get into the eyes of your grandmother, a tea master." Shen Qingru, half modest and half joking, held the old lady and listened to her nodding with a smile. After the old lady finished tasting tea, Shen Qingru rolled up his sleeves again. His white hands pressed on the old lady's acupoints and said with a smile: "Qingru specially intended to learn a set of massage techniques to help improve sleep and enhance appetite. Today, he will experiment on his grandmother."

The Huatai doctor is the most brilliant doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the Taitai hospital. What's wrong with his personal massage technique? Qingru said it was an experiment. In fact, she specially learned to honor her old woman. "The child is really intentional..." the old lady looked at her serious granddaughter and couldn't help sighing.

Thinking of such a good child, he was bullied several times by the vicious woman of the Qin family. Shen Xinzhi was partial to Shen Muyun and ignored Qingru. The old lady couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and her eyes towards Shen Qingru became more and more kind.

Shen Qingru massages the old lady for a while, and is forcibly stopped by the old lady who loves her granddaughter. At present, the scenery in the suburbs is the most beautiful. The old lady encouraged her granddaughter to see more beautiful scenery along the way.

The magnificent carriage of the prime minister's house has already attracted the attention of pedestrians on the road. In the Xia Dynasty, the folk customs were open, and women did not have to wear a veil when traveling. The sisters of the Shen family couldn't help looking out of the window. The breeze blows on the face, which is soft and comfortable.

Shen Muyun was reserved at the beginning and refused to let people outside the carriage see her face. But the admiration of people outside the window kept coming to her ears. This one said "that girl is so noble and dignified and has temperament", and that one said "that little girl's face is like an apple". Shen Muyun disdained it all over her face. In terms of beauty, the smelly girls of the Shen family don't deserve to give her shoes. These Hicks who have never seen the world!

Shen Muyun couldn't help but gently lift the window screen, and the beautiful Phoenix eyes looked out of the window with a high posture. Sure enough, the scholar who praised Shen Mingxian's beauty just now opened his mouth and looked at the gorgeous beauty sitting on the carriage.

That... Is the legendary second Miss Shen family, the first beauty in the capital?

The originally noisy people immediately calmed down. Some shy people were frightened by Shen Muyun's overwhelming glory for fear of desecrating her beauty and dared not look at Shen Muyun again. There are also those brave and greedy looking at Shen Muyun's side face and staring.

Shen Muyun is very satisfied with this effect. Sure enough, these mountain village men have little knowledge and have never seen the world. Shen Qingru, Shen Mingxian and others are nothing but the dust on the ground and the clouds in the sky. Now, with her real pearl and beautiful jade, all the other women of the Shen family have become dead fish's eyes.

A discordant voice suddenly remembered: "although beauty is beautiful, she is the second Miss Shen who danced the dance of the former dynasty's subjugation in front of the imperial court and provoked the emperor's great anger?"

"What?" the scholar was most surprised. His eyes were full of regret for the disillusionment of his idol: "there is a good leather bag in the air. It turned out to be a fool's straw bag."

As soon as he said this, he looked at Shen Muyun's line of sight and faintly despised it. When Shen Muyun heard this clearly, he slammed the curtain angrily and said angrily, "a group of ignorant craftsmen!"

Shen Qingru naturally saw this picture. She looked up to Shen Muyun as a goddess in her heart. She wanted to worship one of Shen Muyun's hair. Now the crazy bees and butterflies abandoned her if they wore my shoes and couldn't help laughing secretly.

It was evening when we arrived at Lingyuan temple, and it was getting dark. Under the arrangement of the abbot of the temple, the women of the Shen family lived in the wing room of the temple and prayed after burning incense and bathing the next day.

Shen Qingru and aster are assigned to the East Chamber of the temple. Aster is busy cleaning up in the house. Shen Qingru looks at the hazy moonlight outside the window and can't help walking out of the door slowly.

The moonlight is confused. The faint outline of the moon and the hazy moonlight are still moving. The night is like a huge dark curtain, and the stars in the night sky are like clear frost, one by one.

Today is the tenth day of August, and it is getting closer and closer to the full moon night.

Shen Qingru sighed gently. The Mid Autumn Festival is undoubtedly a bad memory for her. Whether it was the Mid Autumn Festival spent alone in Yecheng, or the eve of the mid autumn festival that year, she lost her beloved son forever... Whenever others get together for two months, she is always alone.

A rustle came from the grass. Shen Qingru shouted, "who?"

"It's a slave." a low voice sounded, and a petite figure stood up from behind the grass. Shen Qingru looked at it, but it was dusk.

"It's aunt mu." Shen Qingru raised her eyebrows. "I don't know why aunt Mu came to visit late at night?"

The beautiful face in the evening was slightly thin, and it could be seen that it was much haggard than before. In the evening, she suddenly knelt softly in front of Shen Qingru and burst into tears: "please help me, miss."

"What does aunt Mu mean?" Shen Qingru looked at the dusk on the ground quietly.

"After I made up with Mr. Xiang that day, I didn't see my wife. Mr. Xiang has also left me behind. Now I have Mr. Xiang's children... My wife knows that she will kill me, and asks the eldest lady to show mercy to save our mother and son..." I cried very pitifully in the evening.

Shen Qingru sneered at the corners of her lips. In the face of Qin's disfigurement threat, she never claimed to be a slave. Now she claims to be a slave and maid. Are you afraid of the Qin family, or do you have other plans?

Shen Qingru comforted Muwan with a smile: "aunt Mu doesn't have to worry. Now the old lady is here. Since aunt Mu has her father's flesh and blood, the old lady must be happy. With the protection of the old lady, even if she wants to move anything, she will hinder the old lady's face."

"I'll take aunt Mu to say hello to the old lady."

In the evening, she looked a little flustered and shook her head again and again: "the old lady is old and doesn't ask questions for a long time. The power of the house is in the hands of the lady again. I'm worried..."

"In the evening, since you have become my father's aunt, you should understand that now you have no way back." Shen Qingru said in a deep voice, "aren't you going to tell the truth?"

In the evening, he was frightened. As soon as he was soft, he collapsed to the ground and struggled to kowtow to Shen Qingru.

"Ask the eldest lady to save the maidservant and the child... Elder sister and elder sister, spare the maidservant. The child... Is not from the Lord, but the child of the maidservant and the servant in the house..."

Shen Qingru was slightly stunned. This evening, he was so bold that he got pregnant with the young man in the house. No wonder she was afraid of Qin's appearance. No matter Shen Xinzhi or the old lady knew about it, there was no way to live in the evening.
