Chapter 77:
He was taken away before leaving Beicheng, and Sixi said that Song Jinyuan still left a message, saying that this matter was unknown, and he would not ruin Ye Ting's reputation no matter what. He also said that if Ye Ping was worried, he could go to Huguo Temple to find them.
Huguo Temple?
When Ye Ping heard these three words, she had a vague guess in her heart.
Since the other party left a message, she must go there.
He ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and went out in plain clothes. The carriage in the Princess Mansion is wide and stable, and all the roads in the northern city are paved with bluestone slabs, so they don't feel bumpy.
It is quite a distance from the Princess Mansion to the Huguo Temple.
Huguo Temple is full of incense, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going, and many of them spend money. As soon as Ye Ping arrived, before he entered the temple, a young novice came to guide the way, saying that Master Wen had confessed.
She sneered inwardly, it turned out that Wen was also involved. At that moment, her small face was tense, and the little novice only thought that she was in awe of the Buddha with a solemn face, but she didn't know that the anger in her chest was soaring.
The little novice led the way in front, passed a boulder where pilgrims stopped, and the following road became quieter and quieter until a pavilion was seen in the distance.
Under the gazebo, there are two people playing chess. There is no hair or beard, and Yuemo looks like an out-of-world expert. The one who wears a crown and hat is Wen Yu. There were two people standing beside them, they were Song Jinyuan and Ye Ting.
When she approached, the game had just ended. He only heard a hearty laugh from the world expert, saying that he had lost. Then those eyes that see through the world looked over, as if they knew her.
"Sure enough, it is an unprecedented romance, Amitabha."
Hearing this, her heart skipped a beat.
This expert must be the Master Kongjian, the master should not only have seen Wen Yu's rebirth, but also her time-traveling. Such a powerful person can't help but make her stand in awe.
She went forward and performed the Buddha ceremony, and then stood behind Wen Yu.
Ye Ting had a timid face, leaning towards her obediently.
At this time Song Jinyuan said: "The winner of the chess game has been divided, can the master fulfill his promise?"
Seeing Master Kong stroking his beard, "If monks don't tell lies, poor monks will naturally not break their promises."
"Then please take a look, master, do I have a destiny with this girl?"
Really direct.
As soon as Song Jinyuan said this, Ye Ting's face turned red instantly. It turned out that it wasn't her illusion, Mr. Song was really interested in her. She thought it was her own wishful thinking, but she didn't expect Mr. Song to be interested.
Ye Ping finally understood, it turned out that Wen Yu and Song Jinyuan really conspired together, they deserved to be evil gods and evil spirits, who would do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
She swears inwardly, she really is a friend of a gangster, a gangster, a raccoon...
Wen Yu glanced over, and her back felt cold.
This man doesn't know how his brain grows, how he can be so sharp. It's not a monkey, it's not possible that the seventy-two faces can get into other people's stomachs, so how can you know that she is swearing.
Just as she was muttering, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Wen Yu's footsteps moving slightly, and approached her in an instant.
That's about the same.
I also know how to kiss my wife.
Song Jinyuan and Ye Ting were all focused on Master Kongjian, so they didn't notice the subtle changes on their side. Ye Ting was more shy than nervous, while Song Jinyuan had his heart in his throat. He felt that he was like those condemned prisoners in the dungeon. He knew that his death was approaching, but he was lucky enough to escape. Even if it is a little bit of hope, I am willing to do my best.
Master Kong Jian's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He stroked his beard, first looked at Wen Yu and Ye Ping, then fell on Ye Ting, and said slowly that the secret must not be revealed.
Song Jinyuan was dumbfounded.
The old monk is playing with him!
"Grandmaster!"
"This female benefactor is not the one in your destiny, fate will come and go according to God's will."
Not one of his fate?
Song Jinyuan's heart was half cold. Could it be that he and Miss Ye Er were destined to miss each other? When he looked up, he realized that Wen Yu and Ye Ting had all stood by Ye Ping's side at some point.
Is he isolated?
Ye Ping's heart moved slightly upon hearing Kong's words, and she lowered her eyelids slightly. A master is a master. The profundity of speaking is not so much mystification as it is the art of speaking. The deep meaning depends on one's experience.
Wen Yudao: "Since you are not a person in the number of fate, is it not bound by the number of fate?"
Master Kongjian didn't answer, but said Amitabha.
Song Jinyuan's eyes lit up. These monks like to say half of what they say, and hide the half, making people guess and guess. It's really annoying. Or Chengtian thought carefully, that must be the meaning.
So he and Miss Ye Er are destined!
Very good!
He smiled with deep dimples and showed his white teeth.
Ye Ping was dissatisfied with Wen Yuxin, she took Ye Ting's hand, saluted Master Kongjian again, and prepared to leave. From the beginning to the end, she neither looked at Wen Yu nor paid attention to Song Jinyuan.
Song Jinyuan was quite sensible, so he hurriedly said that he walked through the back door of the temple, so as not to be misunderstood by others. He didn't forget to give Wen Yu a hand, signaling Wen Yu to go with him.
Wen Yu looked at Ye Ping with deep eyes, Ye Ping was afraid in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. But Ye Ting couldn't stand it, her calves were shaking.
"Sister, I...I can go by myself."
She knew she had done something wrong and felt uneasy.
Song Jinyuan wanted to give it away, but he knew that he must have angered the princess of the county by taking away the second girl Ye this time. If he could choose, he didn't want to offend his future sister-in-law either.
He is no better than Wen Yu, Master Kong Jian is not someone he can meet just by saying he sees him. If it weren't for the rare opportunity, he would not have made such a bad move. Seeing that you can marry a wife, but it seems that there are twists and turns again.
"Concubine Jun, this matter happened because of me alone. I am not the kind of person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. It is really a last resort. If you are angry, just attack me. I will definitely not fight back."
Ye Ping retorted, "It's a last resort! Master Song, as the commander of the Gyeonggi guards, openly abducted a woman from a good family in the street. Are you worthy of your official skin?"
Ye Ting's face turned red and white. She really wanted to say that she was not kidnapped, and Mr. Song was not that kind of person. But the steelyard in her heart was in favor of her eldest sister, and one could tell from her posture.
Song Jinyuan's scalp was numb, but he knew how good this county concubine was at scolding people, and she often scolded people to shame without using a single dirty word. He is a person who likes to join in the fun. If it is not his own business, he will not mention how happy he is to watch such a scene.
"The concubine of the county has taught me the lesson, and she will definitely change it after she is dismissed from office."
"Master Song has been an official for many years, and he has handled many prisoners. Ask yourself how many of those perpetrators are sincerely repentant. It's just to survive, and they have to sell miserably against their will. If they can escape, I'm afraid it will get worse."
Song Jinyuan looked at Wen Yu begging for help, is Wen Chengtian really desperate for help?
Wen Yu didn't move his brows and eyes, turning a blind eye to his gaze.
He was so heartbroken, he thought Wen Chengtian used to be fearless, who would have thought that after getting married, he would be afraid of himself.
Men who fear guilt are unreliable.
"The concubine of the county is very right, and the officials are taught. Every time the officials think about the words and deeds of the concubine of the county, I feel that I am too indecisive. The concubine of the county is the kind of lonely and courageous person who dares to be ridiculed by the world. It's admirable."
"So, Master Song's actions were inspired by me?"
"Although I was inspired by the princess of the county, there are not as many officials as the princess of the county."
Ye Ping sneered, this official.
Tingniang imitated her, and Song Jinyuan also said to imitate her. Did she really become a bad example?
Can't.
She was inexplicably guilty, after all, what she had done before was there. She didn't believe that Song Jinyuan was inspired by her, and the only one she felt sorry for was Tingniang.
Things have come to this, Song Jinyuan will not let go. Judging by Tingniang's appearance, she also has affection for Song Jinyuan, and she can't do anything to forcibly destroy other people's marriage.
So what else can she do for Tingniang?
Song Jinyuan glanced inadvertently out of the corner of his eye, and saw Master Kong Jian was still there, and he looked like an old **** watching a play.
It turned out that the old monk also liked to join in the fun.
While he was in a trance, Ye Ping had already pulled Ye Ting away.
"Chengtian, look at this matter... I am sorry for you. If the princess of the county loses her temper, you can just scold me."
Wen Yu glanced at him, "I can only help you so far."
For the rest, ask for blessings.
Seeing Master Kong stroking his beard, he suddenly said, "All things are born and restrained by each other, and one thing descends one thing, so good and good."
Song Jinyuan took a meaningful look at Wen Yu when he heard the words.
This kid also has today.
When I thought about my situation again, I couldn't laugh anymore. He suddenly realized that he put so much effort into wanting to be brother-in-law with this kid Wen Chengtian, maybe he would become a pair of difficult brothers and sisters in the future.
What a headache.
…
The smell of joss sticks is everywhere, and the closer you go to the temple, the stronger the smell. There are the most pilgrims in front of the Vatican Sutra Stove and the Huabao Stove, some people pray for peace or save their relatives. There are also young pilgrims who are looking for marriage and fate, devoutly worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist hall and asking for lottery.
All the way from the back temple, Ye Ping and Ye Ting talked a lot.
What happened today should be an accident.
Regardless of the fate, the matter of marriage is no child's play.
Ye Ting looked ashamed and listened to the elder sister's words very seriously. She knew it was inappropriate for her to go with Master Song rashly this time, but she didn't regret it. A good person like Mrs. Song has helped them. She is not an ungrateful person.
Ye Ping heard her sister say that Song Jinyuan is a good person, but she was unable to explain it. Fortunately, it is Song Jinyuan who must be Tingniang now, and Tingniang occupies a favorable position. The life of husband and wife is cold and warm, and if Tingniang likes Song Jinyuan, there is no reason to stop her as a sister.
"Sister, you are so kind to me."
The elder sister didn't blame her for doing such an outrageous thing, Ye Ting was very moved.
"As long as you are happy, eldest sister will be happy."
The two sisters were talking, and they were already approaching the treasure furnace in front of the temple.
Suddenly someone called Ye Ping, it was Princess Qingyang.
Princess Qingyang is not alone, and there is a familiar girl beside her. Ye Ping thought about it carefully, and soon remembered who this person was.
Li Bizhu.
One of Wen Ruyu's followers.
I still remember that when I first passed through, this Miss Li wanted to take her place. Later, I heard that the other party got his wish and became Wen Ruyu's first follower.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wen Ruyu fell down, this person actually climbed up to Princess Qingyang.
As soon as Li Bizhu saw Ye Ping, she couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes. It's been a while since I last saw you. Even in ordinary clothes, Ye Ping's demeanor is completely different from before. In her impression, Ye Ping had never had such a temperament. She thought it was because she married into the princess mansion and became a master, but she never thought that this Ye Ping was not that Ye Ping.
They are all down-and-out relatives of the Duke's Mansion, and they all follow the route of currying favor with Wen Ruyu, so they naturally compete secretly. Ye Ping is a relative of Mrs. Wen's side, the daughter of a concubine of the Wang family, her father's official position is not high, and her family is even less famous. Li Bizhu is a relative of Mrs. Wen's side, and her grandmother and Mrs. Wen are cousins. Li's father and Li's mother are all descendants, and the Li family is also much higher than the Ye family. Therefore, Li Bizhu looked down on Ye Ping very much, and regarded Ye Ping as the culprit for lowering the level of their circle.
Later Ye Ping withdrew from Wen Ruyu's circle, and Li Bizhu succeeded in taking the position, and she was very proud for several days. Especially in those days there were a lot of rumors about Ye Ping, and it was rumored that she was going to marry Master Zhao to fill the house, and she was scolded by many people for being shameless. She thought that Ye Ping would never be able to turn over, but she didn't expect Ye Ping to marry into the princess mansion not long after.
Some people are like this, the most they can't see people who are not as good as themselves in the past.
How could Ye Ping not feel Li Bizhu's gaze, she just pretended not to see it. Li Bizhu felt humiliated by her disregard, and hated her even more in her heart.
Princess Qingyang didn't want to meet Ye Ping here, and her words were not without temptation.
Ye Ping replied that her sister was not in good health, and she came to the temple with her to ask for a talisman. This answer is very reasonable, and there is no flaw in it.
"I've heard people say that twins compete for blessings from the womb, and Miss Ye Er was weak since she was a child. Presumably those benefits were taken by the princess of the county."
As soon as Li Bizhu opened her mouth, not to mention the Ye family sisters, even Princess Qingyang changed her face.
What an idiot.
Ye Ping changed his face immediately. "You dare to lie in front of the Buddha. Miss Li is so uneducated."
Li Bizhu was indeed in a moment of brain fever, but it was really difficult for her to turn the corner. She couldn't understand that a person like Ye Ping had nothing but a face. It is simply unfair that such a person can become the princess of the county.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Princess Qingyang's tone was not good, even a little harsh.
Li Bizhu held back her anger, and said: "It's my daughter who has nothing to say. My daughter thought she was on good terms with the princess of the county before, so she spoke a little more casually. Please don't blame the princess of the county."
Does this imply that she will be rampant once she gains power?
Ye Ping thought.
She is really crazy, who can do anything to her?
"Speaking of the past, I remembered something. I wonder if the lotus in the Yingyue Pond of the Duke's Mansion is in bloom? I think that even if Sister Ruyu is not in the mansion this year, Miss Li will have the opportunity to pick one."
Li Bizhu's expression changed upon hearing this.
Princess Qingyang gave her a thoughtful glance. Her heart tightened, secretly hating Ye Ping for talking too much. Who doesn't know that Wen Shizi's residence is not far from Yingyue Lake, the princess will definitely think about it.
"Princess Jun is just joking, I don't have a chance to pick lotus. Princess Concubine Jun is now married into the Princess Mansion, so it is not difficult to go to the Duke's Mansion to pick some lotus."
"You're right. I'm the daughter-in-law of the Wen family. It's a common thing to go in and out of the Duke's mansion. It's a pity that I don't like lotus, and I think the flowers are a bit weak. Unlike Miss Li, sister Ruyu used to expressly forbid People are close to Yingyue Pond, and you still have the ability to secretly pick a flower, which is really amazing."
This back and forth is talking about lotus, but they all know who the lotus refers to.
Princess Qingyang already had doubts about Li Bizhu, but she didn't show it on the surface.
"In a few days, the orchids in the palace will be in bloom. I wonder if the princess of the county can come to enjoy the flowers? Last time, the princess of the county was going to get married and she couldn't attend my banquet. Will she refuse this time?"
Ye Ping smiled sincerely, "Thank you Princess for inviting me, I'm afraid this time I will disappoint your good intentions. I just married into the Princess Mansion not long ago, and I'm not good at being the director of the family. Come free. Although I can't go there, the ceremony will definitely arrive. I wish the Princess Flower Fair a complete success, and enjoy eating and having fun."
"It doesn't matter if that's the case. When you and I become a family in the future, we will have the opportunity to enjoy the flowers and eat."
The two seemed to be talking and laughing at Yan Yan, but when they turned around, Qi Qi changed their faces. Princess Qingyang cared about Ye Ping's shamelessness, but what Ye Ping cared about was Li Bizhu's provocative words.
"Ting Niang, would you blame me for stealing your blessing in the womb?"
Ye Ting panicked, "Sister, I've never thought about it that way. It's the greatest blessing in my life to have a big sister like you, how could I blame you..."
As she spoke, she looked like she was about to cry.
Ye Ping quickly comforted her, "Don't cry, I will never ask again."
The two sisters left the Huguo Temple, and the carriages of the Princess Mansion and the Ye family drove over one after the other. Just as Ye Ping was about to get into the carriage, she felt something was wrong.
There are people in the carriage.
She whispered a few words to her younger sister, and explained to Sixi, then let her get into the carriage and go first. She didn't get into her own carriage until the Ye family's carriage drove away.
Sure enough, there were people in the carriage.
It's Wen Yu.
He was sitting boldly, looking dignified and domineering because of his wild sitting posture. That leering gaze, frosty eyebrows, and knife-thin lips all showed his displeasure.
snort.
He still has an angry face.
Ye Ping was furious in her heart, and she didn't look at him like she was angry.
"If you don't stop, you will be subject to chaos. If you know the future, you won't have to worry about it."
What he said was an explanation.
Ye Ping was depressed, "Is it broken?"
Not only did it not break, but it even connected.
"Do you want them to break?"
Ye Ping lowered her head and said nothing, she admired Song Jinyuan more than she rejected him. In the previous life, Song Jinyuan died and the three wives never thought about taking concubines and having children, which shows that the Song family has a very good family style.
The carriage started to move, and the scent of incense gradually faded away.
Wen Yu looked at the little girl who bowed her head and said nothing, feeling a little itchy for no reason. Just like those wild cats in the palace who were reprimanded by him for stealing food, even if they make mistakes, they are cute.
He just raised his hand and put it down again.
The little liar just left him, and he couldn't forgive him so easily. He can clearly remember Jinyuan's weird eyes, which were full of sympathy and pity.
Ye Ping calmed down slowly, and quickly sensed that the atmosphere was not right.
It's over.
Patronizing her own emotions, she even forgot that she was not married to an ordinary man. If it's really overdone, I don't know if the surname Wen will indulge her? If she keeps going, she can do another one. If not, how will she end up? In the end, it is still not sure, and it is inevitable that I will be a little nervous.
How to remedy it?
At this time, the carriage was much slower, and there was a lot of noise outside the carriage.
A woman cried: "Master Liu, Meiniang likes you, it doesn't matter if you don't like Meiniang, Meiniang will always like you, even if she can't be with you, she will be happy."
A young man's voice sounded, "Miss Wu, why are you doing this?"
The woman said again: "Young Master Liu, you don't need to feel uneasy, this is Meiniang's own business. Meiniang is satisfied to meet Young Master Liu in this life. If you can see him often, you will have no regrets."
Some booed, some discussed.
"This Miss Wu is really an infatuated person."
"I heard that Mr. Liu is not yet married, and the two of them are considered to be well-matched. I think Mr. Liu might as well take care of Miss Wu's family and marry him in."
"Bah! Such a shameless girl, even married into the family, it would be embarrassing to be a concubine!"
"What do you know, what does a woman want a man to lose? Haven't you heard about the Duke Wen and the Princess Princess? With a background like that of the Princess Princess, she got a marriage from His Majesty in exchange for her infatuation. It's something your Majesty approves of, you alone What nonsense are you talking about! It's shameful, but I think you are shameful!"
Listening to these people's discussion, Ye Ping couldn't laugh or cry. Is she so powerful? Deviating the atmosphere of the entire Yongchang City by one's own strength?
Her mind twitched, and she thought to herself that this is really a good opportunity. She immediately covered her face pretending to be ashamed, and shyly plunged into Wen Yu's arms.
"Your Majesty, look, someone is learning from me!"
Wen Yu's eyes lit up with a smile, and his slender hand finally landed on her back as he wished.
The little girl is shy.
