Liaochen had received the letter saying that they were coming to Yingxue Temple. She had been waiting since morning, and had not waited until the beginning of the afternoon when she saw several carriages and a sedan chair from Tangyuan arrive at the gate under the protection of guards.
Chen Afu got off the sedan chair and was about to bow to Chen when she was supported by Chen. She looked Chen Afu up and down and smiled with satisfaction, "Well, it has grown better, not bad."
Chen Ahfu pouted and said, "You're too fat and ugly."
Liaochen smiled and said, "A strong mother makes her child fat. For the sake of your child's good growth, never think that you are ugly or fat."
Both children fell asleep, and were carried directly to the backyard Zen room to rest. Chen Afu and Liaochen walked slowly to the back of the temple hand in hand. Chen Afu whispered, "Grandma, have you heard about the flock of birds pooping at Lingyin Temple?"
Lechen laughed and said, "I heard from a few pilgrims that some woman offended the bird fairy, so the bird fairy gathered a group of birds to poop on her, and the woman was so scared that she hid in the hall and dared not come out."
Chen Afu asked with a smile, "Mother-in-law, do you know who that woman is?" Without waiting for Lechen to answer, he smiled and said, "It was Princess Rongzhao. We all saw it. A group of birds gathered into a thick pot cover and pooped on her. Her servants used umbrellas to block it, and the top of the umbrellas was covered with a thick layer of feces." After saying that, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.
When Liaochen heard that the person whose poop was pulled by the flock of birds was Rong Zhao, he was stunned for a moment. His gentle face showed no joy or sadness. He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, God is watching what we do..."
Chen Afu was still a little puzzled when he didn't see the joy on Lachen's face. He added, "I heard that the flock of birds also pulled Rong Zhao once in February. This time, it must not be a coincidence. That woman must have done too many immoral things, and even the birds can't stand it."
Liaochen nodded, recited a few more sutras, and said to Chen Afu, "You have worked so hard for so long, go to the meditation room and rest for a while."
Chen Ahfu also felt a little sleepy, so he went to the meditation room to rest. The previous worries and hardships mixed together made Chen Ahfu extremely tired, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
She was awakened by a burst of cheerful laughter and the chirping of birds.
It turned out to be Chu Lingxuan. Chu Hanyan, who had been told to speak softly, could not help but be surprised and shouted loudly, "Daddy, Daddy, why are you here suddenly?"
Chu Lingxuan smiled as he picked up his daughter who ran over to him, and even lifted her up high. He smiled and said, "Daddy came back from another place today, and when he heard that you were here, he rushed to see you."
Chu Hanyan laughed exaggeratedly again and said, "Dad, I have great news for you. Mom is pregnant with twins, and great grandfather asked us to say they are two younger brothers."
Chu Lingxuan laughed heartily again and said, "Brother and sister are all fine, don't put too much pressure on mother."
Dabao was somewhat moved by Chu Lingxuan's words. Why didn't he think so much at the beginning? Everyone said that his mother would give birth to a younger brother. What if his mother gave birth to two younger sisters? Not only would his mother be disappointed, but his great grandfather would be even more disappointed. It seemed that he was still too naive. He was bribed by his great grandfather with a few pieces of good candy and a few good books. It was really wrong.
Dabao was so happy that he started to like Chu Lingxuan. He came forward to greet him and said loudly, "Daddy, today we saw a flock of birds pooping on that bad woman, and Jinbao also went to poop..."
He described it vividly, and Chu Hanyan supplemented it, making Chu Lingxuan laugh again. He heard some of the pilgrims' discussions on the way, but he was in a hurry and had not yet found an informant to question. He didn't know that the woman was Rong Zhao, and Rong Zhao was really hateful, and actually wanted to beat Ah Fu and Yan'er...
After listening to the two children’s stories, Chu Lingxuan exclaimed “It’s so refreshing”.
He went to the pavilion to pay his respects to Chen, and saw Chen Ahfu coming out of the meditation room. She stood quietly at the door, her belly much bigger than when he left last time, and she was rounder. She was smiling, but her eyes seemed to have thousands of words to tell him.
Seeing his wife like this, Chu Lingxuan's smile became even brighter.
"Afu." Chu Lingxuan shouted and walked towards her.
Liaochen held Dabao and Yan'er, and said to Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu, "There are not many pilgrims now. Xuan'er, take Fu'er outside for a walk. The mountains are cool and the scenery is beautiful." He added, "Xuan'er, hold Fu'er and don't let her bump into anything."
The two children also wanted to go, and Liaochen pulled them aside and said with a smile, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, you should accompany grandma."
Chen Ahfu smiled. She was a really good mother-in-law, caring about her daughter-in-law and winning her son's heart. She was not like some mothers-in-law who were afraid that their sons would get close to their daughters-in-law.
Chu Lingxuan "followed" his mother's order and led Chen Afu out of the temple. Hong Fei and several guards followed them from a distance. They walked through the magnolia garden and plum garden and came to the back door of the temple. After leaving the back door, there was a waterfall flowing down the mountainside in the distance, forming a stream more than two meters wide, flowing here, and then half-circling Yingxue Temple and flowing down the mountain.
There was a cool breeze, fresh air, cicadas chirping, lush greenery, and large red clouds in the distance... The beautiful scenery was intoxicating. There were no outsiders around, so the two walked hand in hand along the stream, feeling very comfortable.
Chen Ahfu took a few deep breaths and felt relieved. She wanted to tell him what Wuzhi said, but the atmosphere at the moment made her reluctant to say those words that would spoil the mood.
It had been so long since they got engaged and married, but this was the first time they went out for a leisurely walk like lovers in their previous life.
Chu Lingxuan didn't say anything to spoil the mood. He just talked about what he saw and heard on the road, and how he missed her... Occasionally, he would squeeze her little hand hard, and when he felt that there was a tree that could block the view of people behind, he would give her a quick kiss.
Chen Ahfu pretended to glare at him and said, "You can't kiss at home, but you have to kiss here. It will be so embarrassing if someone sees you."
Chu Lingxuan saw Chen Ahfu's rosy and plump little mouth. He loved her so much that he even said something sarcastic even though he liked her. He really wanted to take a few more bites, but when he thought of the people behind him, he didn't dare. He laughed and said, "The feeling of kissing at home is different from kissing outside..." and whispered a few more words.
Chen Ahfu, who was old-fashioned, also blushed, pinched his arm, and said, "I'm going to die. We are in the nunnery here."
Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "This is outside the nunnery, separated by a wall."
The two of them just walked behind two trees, and Chu Lingxuan quickly kissed Chen Afu again.
The two followed the stream and came to the ginkgo trees in front of the nunnery, then turned back and retraced their steps.
What they didn't know was that two children ran out of the temple gate chasing a little swallow, shouting, "Jinbao, slow down, wait for us..."
Behind the two children followed five guards, three old women and two maids.
They were Chen Dabao and Chu Hanyan.
The golden swallow flew low, stopping occasionally, and arrived at a pavilion a hundred meters away from Yingxue Temple. It circled around the pavilion, but did not continue to fly forward, and landed on the fence inside the pavilion.
Because it saw Chu's father standing here with his hands behind his back, looking towards Yingxue Temple.
