Qingtang was still calculating when Jiang Mingzhi stood up. "Okay, let's go out today and calculate when we come back!"

She was not a rich and stupid person, she just felt that there were only a few people she could use now, and if they were loyal, it was only natural to treat them well. She had made many enemies in the mansion, and if the people around her turned away from her because of money, it would be a loss.

In fact, it’s not that she is short of money now, but the money she has is limited and must be spent wisely.

Daci Temple is located on the Bahuang Mountain, ten miles outside the city. On weekdays, officials and their wives like to worship Buddha here. This place is very familiar to Jiang Mingzhi.

She also donated three thousand taels of incense money and erected a longevity stele for her father, brother, mother and Ce'er in Daci Temple.

When she revisited the old place, she found that everything had changed and the people had changed. Jiang Mingzhi felt nostalgic. Looking at the solemn and ancient figure of Daci Temple hidden in the lush forest, she was more pious than ever before. She knelt in front of Sakyamuni Buddha and kowtowed three times devoutly.

She only hopes that her parents are alive and well, so that she can have fewer regrets in this world, and she also hopes that the Zhou family’s grievances will be cleared up as soon as possible.

The sound of Buddhist chants lingered in the air, and incense was burning continuously. Fortunately, the people from the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion had left home very early, so there were not too many people when they arrived. At this time, the mountain gate had already begun to be congested, and the small vendors who came to the temple fair also began to set up their stalls at the mountain gate.

When Jiang Mingzhi came out after worshiping Buddha, he saw Feng and Jiang Yushu standing there talking to someone. Although they were some distance away, the figure looked familiar to him.

Before I got close, I could hear the faint sound of two people talking.

"I thought you weren't coming today."

It was Feng's somewhat dissatisfied voice.

"Since you asked Madam Duan to invite me, why wouldn't I come? It's just that there were too many carriages on the road, so I was delayed for a while. Even so, I still rushed to come!"

Jiang Mingzhi immediately recognized it as Jiang's voice.

Feng invited Madam Jiang over, but she didn't know what Feng was trying to do. Could it be that she still had the idea of ​​marrying her into the Feng family?

Jiang Mingzhi suppressed his confusion and stepped forward, but was pulled over by Feng. He smiled and said to Feng, "This girl, I didn't mean to offend you last time. As an elder, can you really get angry with a junior?"

Then he continued to talk to himself, "You kid, hurry up and apologize to your Aunt Jiang."

This time he was smarter and didn't say "Auntie, auntie". Instead, he added the word "Jiang" to make it sound different from the Wang family.

Jiang Mingzhi looked at Jiang with a cold gaze, and had no intention of apologizing for what had happened before.

The smile on Feng's lips froze a little. She had already lowered her posture. What else did Jiang Mingzhi want to do? Did he want her, his stepmother, to kneel down and beg her?

Jiang had suffered several losses at the hands of the eldest daughter of the Jinyi Marquis's Mansion. This time, she decided to come here to mend her relationship with the Feng family. She didn't want to embarrass the relationship between the two families because of Jiang Mingzhi. Seeing this, she curled her lips and abruptly changed the subject: "I heard that the Changyuan Marquis' Mansion, Shun'an Marquis' Mansion, and the Minister of War's Mansion will all be coming. Let's go over and grab a seat. Maybe we can run into them."

Feng used the ladder to get down from the stage and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

In fact, she did not often interact with these ladies, and they were just acquaintances when they met. However, Jiang was a person who could get along with everyone. She actually had some friendship with Qin, the wife of the Earl of Changyuan, and therefore she was quite familiar with several other ladies.

This is also why Jiang dared to act so boldly outside. In the Feng family, everyone from the old lady to the nephews and nieces were all fooled around by her. Although Feng did not like her sister-in-law very much, she did not dare to offend her easily.

Seeing that Jiang didn't confront her head-on like before, Jiang Mingzhi just smiled.

She is not the kind of person who seeks chaos in the world. If Jiang had been more sensible and not provoked her, she would not have been at odds with her.

"Ma'am, I'm going to the bathroom. You guys go ahead."

Jiang Mingzhi didn't want to stay with Feng and Jiang. She saw a lot of strange things at the gate of Daci Temple and wanted to go and see them.

Seeing Jiang Yushu's face full of anticipation, Jiang Mingzhi thought for a moment and said to Jiang Yushu, "Didn't Yushu just say that he wanted to go too? Let's go together so that you can keep each other company."

Jiang Yushu's eyes lit up, "Okay."

Feng wanted to say something, but when she thought about Jiang Yushu following Jiang Mingzhi, she thought she would not dare to do anything, so she nodded.

It just so happened that she also had something to say and wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Jiang alone.

Watching the two sisters leave together, Jiang said sourly, "These two used to be so close that they couldn't even get their farts on each other's thighs. How come they're so close now, like one person?"

Feng pursed her lips and smiled, "I really hope they are as close as one person!"

Jiang was puzzled. Didn't she always hate Jiang Mingzhi the most? Why did she seem happy to see the deep sisterly love between them?

However, her elder sister-in-law didn't seem to intend to explain to her, and she didn't have the heart to inquire. Anyway, this was the business of the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, so she didn't bother to care.

"By the way, what do you want to tell me?" Jiang Shi didn't believe that she was called to Daci Temple just to burn incense and worship Buddha.

As the sun rose higher, the mountain gate became more and more lively. I heard that the eminent monk would not come to preach Buddhism until after noon today, so everyone burned incense and worshipped Buddha, and then came out to visit the temple fair.

Jiang Yushu looked at the bustling crowd and glanced at Jiang Mingzhi cautiously.

Ever since she went to confess her feelings to her sister that day, she hasn't seen her sister again. When she heard about what happened in the corridor that day, she originally wanted to go and take a look, but after thinking about it, she felt that if she went, she might end up pleasing both sides if she wasn't careful, so she didn't go.

Jiang Mingzhi didn't react much to Jiang Yushu's pretending to be deaf and dumb. She didn't ask her sister to help her much, as long as she didn't hold her back.

Seeing that there were hairpins and purses being sold in front of her, she asked Jiang Yushu, "See if there's anything you like. I'll give you some money."

Jiang Yushu bit her lip uncomfortably, but shook her head: "No, my elder sister isn't well off either."

Jiang Mingzhi couldn't help but look at her twice more. Jiang Yushu felt her scalp tingling, so she had to step forward and choose the cheapest plain purse.

Jiang Mingzhi didn't say much and asked Qingtang to pay. Seeing that there was a tofu pudding seller nearby, he ordered a bowl for himself, Jiang Yushu and the maids.

"Eldest sister, there are so many people here..."

Jiang Yushu had hardly ever eaten at a roadside stall in her life, and she felt very uncomfortable seeing those young ladies sitting at a roadside table to eat.
