Chapter 17 Lively

Yan Yang knelt down to recite books for half the night, and fell asleep on the ground due to sleepiness.

Cheng Jinchu carried him back to bed with heartache, rolled up his trousers and saw his red and swollen knees, his eyes were red.

When it was almost dawn, Yan Yang had a fever and kept talking nonsense.

"Dad, I was wrong... Mom, I don't want to study... Wuwu..."

Cheng Jinchu's heart was in a knot when he heard it, and he ordered someone to invite female doctor Fang.

After the diagnosis, female doctor Fang said: "The young master is not seriously ill. I have given him antipyretic pills, and he will rest for a few days with soup and medicine."

Shen Changze stood by Yan Yang's bed in his court dress. After hearing what female doctor Fang said, he felt relieved and hurried to the court.

Cheng Jinchu stayed by his side, wiped Yan Yang's body and fed him water, and coaxed him to drink the medicine after it was boiled.

Jiang Shu, an adult, was afraid of bitterness, so how could Yan Yang drink the medicine obediently

? "Be good, Yan Yang, drink the medicine and don't go to school today. Mother will take a leave for you." Cheng Jinchu coaxed him gently with the medicine bowl.

Yan Yang, who refused to drink the medicine, frowned and drank it when he heard that he didn't have to go to school.

"Mom, it's so bitter." Yan Yang shouted in a daze.

Cheng Jinchu hurriedly fed him a candied fruit.

Yan Yang finally calmed down and fell asleep with the candied fruit in his mouth.

When Shen Changze came back from the court, Yan Yang's fever had subsided, and Cheng Jinchu was feeding him porridge.

"Dad... Dad." Seeing Shen Changze, Yan Yang was a little scared.

Normally at this time, he would have gone to school. But today, not only was he at home, he also hadn't memorized the Disciple Rules.

He was afraid that his father would be angry and punish him again.

"Better now," Shen Changze touched Yan Yang's forehead, and his fatherly expression returned to normal.

Seeing this, Yan Yang's tense heart finally relaxed.

"Much better." Cheng Jinchu nodded, but his frown did not loosen: "Doctor Fang said that fever usually recurs for several days, so let's pay more attention and observe."

"Then have a good rest these days, I'll send someone to ask for leave from the teacher." Shen Changze went out and told the servants.

Looking at his departing back, Yan Yang asked in a low voice: "Mother, I don't have to go to school or memorize for a few days?"

Cheng Jinchu scooped a spoonful of porridge and fed him, smiling softly: "Yes, wait until you recover before studying, don't worry."

Yan Yang drank the porridge, his eyes rolling, and a bad idea came into his mind.

The next morning, Jiang Shu took Tan Yu to Zhaojue Temple.

Zhaojue Temple is located on Nanping Mountain in the south of the city. It has beautiful scenery and efficacious incense. It is the favorite Buddhist temple of the nobles and celebrities in Shangjing.

The carriage drove for about an hour and stopped in front of the mountain gate.

Jiang Shu got off the car wearing a veil and slowly walked up the steps holding up the hem of his skirt.

The eldest princess had not arrived yet, so Jiang Shu went to the Zen temple to rest first.

There was a lush bodhi tree in the courtyard. Jiang Shu took off her veil and looked up at it in a trance.

Bodhi means enlightenment. But most people in the world are obsessed with it, like her.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." A beautiful voice sounded from behind.

Jiang Shu came back to her senses and saw the eldest princess Yu Lan walking towards her.

Yu Lan was five years older than Jiang Shu. She was wearing a silver-purple brocade skirt with a ruyi pattern, which made her graceful and elegant face look like a pearl or a jade.

She bowed and greeted him, and Yu Lan helped her up with her own hands.

"Let's go, let's go to the treasure hall to worship Buddha together."

Zhaojue Temple is very popular, and many ladies come here to burn incense and ask for divination. Some of them Jiang Shu knows, and some of them she doesn't.

But it is obvious that they all know Yu Lan, and they all greeted her.

The two of them avoided crowded places, and after worshiping the Buddha, they went to find the host to interpret their fortune.

Jiang Shu was restless and took out a lottery ticket.

I woke up with no treasure in my dream, claiming that Nanshan was just a hoe. If you are asking about marriage and illness, don’t look for repairing roads to support each other.

Jiang Shu frowned slightly and handed the signature to the host.

The host took it and thought carefully for a moment, then twisted the beads in his hand and said, "I found a treasure in my dream. It seems that I have a wish, but in fact it is all in vain. If you are chasing marriage, it is like dew in the morning, turning to other places to wait for true love."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Shu asked with a frown.

The host performed a Buddhist ritual: "Madam is a wise person, you should understand, Amitabha..."

After coming out of the Zen room, Jiang Shu and Yu Lan walked along the stone path in the temple.

However, Jiang Shu was so worried that she didn't look at the road and almost bumped into a tree. Fortunately, Yu Lan was quick to pull her up.

"Jiang Shu, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Shu shook her head and took a deep breath and said, "It's okay."

She had been thinking about the host's words and was confused.

Since ancient times, women have regarded their husbands as their heaven. How should she find another way out

? "I heard from the monk that the wisteria in the back mountain is in full bloom. Let's go and have a look." Yu Lan was very interested. "

Okay." Jiang Shu calmed down and the two walked to the back mountain together.

The wisteria in Zhaojue Temple is quite famous. Many ladies who have finished worshiping Buddha come here to appreciate the flowers. They are very lively in groups of three or two.

"You little bitch, you dare to talk back when I say two words to you. Bang!"

A crisp slap sounded, attracting people around to look over.

Under the flourishing wisteria tree, a girl in pink slapped a girl in green hard, and several people walking with her pointed and cursed at the girl in green.

"Everyone knows your little shit, even if you don't admit it, you can't stop the gossip."

"Humph, relying on your looks to seduce men, you want to climb up the social ladder and become the wife of a marquis, you are not worthy!"

"Bah! You are not even a wife of a marquis, no one wants you to be a concubine. Looking at the whole of Shangjing, which girl is still unmarried at the age of 22? It's really a shame for the Xu family, why don't you die." After

the girl in pink finished her vicious curse, several people walking with her laughed mockingly, and the ladies and young ladies who were admiring the flowers around her also whispered.

The girl in green was so embarrassed and angry that her charming face turned red as blood, and then pale as paper.

Suddenly, she looked up at the thick wisteria tree behind the girl in pink and rushed over like crazy.

She wanted to commit suicide by hitting the tree!

Jiang Shu's eyes widened in shock, and his lips parted slightly, almost screaming.

At the critical moment, a girl in red fell from the sky and stopped the girl in green.

"Yijun is so powerful." Yu Lan looked at the girl in red and exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise.

Jiang Shu had the same expression, and was attracted by the graceful Sun Yijun.

"Murder behind the Buddhist temple, Xu Lingxuan, you are so brave, aren't you afraid of the punishment from the Buddha?" Sun Yijun stared coldly at the instigator.

She was taking a nap on the tree, and was woken up by their noise. She wanted to hit someone.

Xu Lingxuan, who was wearing a pink dress, turned pale and gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone saw it. She committed suicide. What does it have to do with me?"

"You are right. Everyone heard it. You instigated the murder. I believe the Buddha also heard it." Sun Yijun sneered and continued to threaten.

Xu Lingxuan was angry and said hatefully, "Don't think that you can talk nonsense just because your father is the chief judge of the Dali Temple. The princess is here and you can't be presumptuous!" Yu Lan

, who was watching the show with great interest, was inexplicably dragged into the water.

After a clear cough, Yu Lan walked over helplessly.

Jiang Shu has always been reluctant to participate in women's disputes, but she came with Yu Lan, so she had to bite the bullet and follow.

"Ah, the wife of Jing'an Marquis is here too."

"Tsk tsk, today's show is really lively..."

What does it mean?

Hearing the whispers of the people around him, Jiang Shu was confused. Yu Lan

looked at her worriedly, which made Jiang Shu even more confused.
