Gratitude Temple.
early morning.
Because they had agreed before going to bed that they would go to Gratitude Temple today, Nangong Jiu thought that he didn't have to get up early to practice, so he slept soundly with peace of mind.
Nangong Yunxue was afraid that everyone would get impatient waiting, so she had to dig Nangong Jiu, who was sleeping like a pig, out of the warm quilt.
He packed everything up in a hurry, fed her some porridge, and then carried her into the carriage.
Looking at the little person leaning in his arms, still dozing with eyes closed.
"Jiu'er, don't you usually get up before dawn for your training? Why can't you get up today?"
"Madam, His Majesty couldn't sleep last night, so he got up in the middle of the night to practice."
Nangong Yunxue was puzzled: "Tell mother, why can't you sleep? Are you not used to it?"
[No, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall asleep again.]
"Are you dreaming?"
[Maybe, I can’t remember anything.]
Xiao Wang was also dozing off in the carriage, and Xiao Xing lay directly on top of him.
Nangong Yunxue looked at the little ones with amusement: "Did you all stay up late last night?"
Xiao Xing twisted her body a few times and imitated Nangong Jiu's tone: "Yeah, I'm practicing with Your Majesty."
"Puff"
Nangong Yunxue covered her mouth and laughed: "You two have been together for a long time, and you have developed the same temperament."
We soon arrived at the general's mansion.
Everyone had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time. When they saw the carriage approaching, they waved their hands, got on their own carriages, and headed out of the city.
Outside the city, the snow had piled up to a foot thick, but the road to Gratitude Temple was swept clean by the monks.
At this time, Nangong Jiu was no longer asleep and was leaning on the car window looking out.
"Mother, most temples are built on mountains for peace and quiet, so why is this Gratitude Temple built outside the city? It's so close to the city, aren't they afraid of the noise?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's to make it easier for pilgrims in the city to burn incense? Gratitude Temple is very popular."
[Yes, because it's close, it's easier for everyone to go.]
[Oh, by the way, mother, I forgot to ask, which family's young master is this one we're meeting today?]
"The commander of the Jingji Battalion, Wang Zehao, the eldest son of General Wang Peng. Since they are both from military families, we would like to see him first."
[If it's a good match, then you won't consider the other two? ]
Nangong Yunxue tapped Nangong Jiu's little nose.
"We have to look at them all and then decide which one to choose. Wait a moment, please help your aunt look carefully."
[Okay!]
Soon the carriage stopped outside the temple and everyone walked into the temple chatting and laughing.
Nangong Jiu, swinging his chubby legs, sat on Xiao Wang's back and followed everyone into the temple, looking around.
After the adults burned incense in the main hall, they invited everyone to go to the agreed location.
Under the wishing tree, Mrs. Wang and Wang Zehao were already waiting there.
The adults on both sides knew each other and greeted each other warmly.
Wang Zehao also stepped forward to greet everyone.
He was dressed in green brocade clothes, with a tall and straight figure and a decent smile on his handsome face.
Chu Ruoyan and others were about 70% satisfied.
After a brief chat about the weather and burning incense, we waved goodbye.
After watching the Wang family walk away, Chu Ruoyan looked at Chu Xi with a smile: "How is it?"
Chu Xi blushed and looked at Nangong Yunxue and Nangong Jiu.
Nangong Yunxue expressed her opinion: "Cousin, judging from her family background, appearance, and interpersonal skills, I think she is very good.
That Lady Wang also seems to have a gentle temperament."
Chu Xi looked at Nangong Jiu again.
"Jiu'er, what do you think?"
Nangong Jiu laughed, "Not bad, they match very well!"
I just explored the consciousness of the mother and son. There is no problem with their character and their appearance is also good.
Moreover, Mrs. Wang was also very satisfied with her generous cousin and hoped that good things would happen to her.
Wang Zehao was so happy that he kept muttering in his heart that his aunt was his type.
Chu Ruoyan and Mrs. Chu also nodded repeatedly.
"We also think he's a good match for Xi'er. But let's not jump to conclusions yet. Let's make a decision tomorrow after seeing the other two."
Chu Xi nodded in agreement. Everyone walked around the temple, found a place to sit down and rest, and prepared to have a vegetarian meal before returning to the city.
At this time, the abbot of the temple came.
"Amitabha, young benefactor, may I have a moment to talk?"
Nangong Jiu rode on Xiao Wang and took Xiao Xing with him, waving to everyone: "I'll be back soon."
I followed the abbot all the way to the meditation room.
The abbot bowed respectfully and said, "You three have come to our humble temple and have brought honor to it."
Xiao Xing circled around the abbot curiously. "Do you know where we came from?"
Xiao Wang rolled his eyes at him and said, "He's a highly accomplished monk, what's so strange about him knowing?"
The abbot nodded and pointed to the top of his head, then bowed again: "There is a halo covering the bodies of the several of you. It must be coming from above. The others don't know."
Nangong Jiu raised his hand and stopped hiding it.
"The abbot has a keen eye, and it's clear that his cultivation is quite advanced. If that's the case, there's no need for formalities. Simply speak freely."
The abbot happily held out an object wrapped in several layers.
"During his travels, Lao Na came across this object by chance, but he was never able to understand its secrets.
I wonder if you three could help me with some details? If I could see its true appearance, I would have no regrets. "
Nangong Jiu nodded.
After receiving the consent, the abbot opened the bundle layer by layer, revealing an ancient and exquisite box.
Nangong Jiu was stunned for a moment, then reached out and tapped the box.
The box that the abbot had tried so hard to open was opened so easily.
Inside the box, there were several ornaments that looked extraordinary.
Nangong Jiu touched the things inside with nostalgia.
"This was a birthday gift I made for my mother, but before I could give it to her, I was sent down by the heavens."
"Since it belongs to the donor, I will return it to the original owner." The abbot handed over the box.
Nangong Jiu happily accepted it and said, "Thank you, Abbot. To show my gratitude, I will lend you a helping hand."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the abbot.
"Your merits are not yet complete, but your cultivation is sufficient now. If you do a few more things that benefit the people, you will be able to ascend to heaven."
"Amitabha, Old Nado thanks the young donor for his enlightenment!"
"Well, goodbye!"
Nangong Jiu took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing out of the Zen room and strolled around looking for everyone to meet up.
Nangong Yunxue took the little guy from Xiao Wang's back and held him in her arms.
"What does the abbot want to see you about?"
[He found something while traveling, and it's mine.]
"Oh? He gave it to you?"
[Give it to me, I didn't let him suffer any loss, I helped him. ]
Nangong Yunxue smiled and kissed Nangong Jiu's little face: "You are a polite child."
As the mother and daughter were talking, the abbot of the temple brought in vegetarian food with the monks.
"This vegetarian meal is provided by our abbot to all donors. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask."
Chu Ruoyan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master. Please convey our gratitude to the abbot!"
After the abbot left, Chu Ruoyan pointed to the table full of vegetarian dishes.
"Jiu'er, are you familiar with the abbot?"
