Chapter 15 Xiangguo Temple



The next morning, the group of four drove out early in the carriage.

Jiang Ying was quite surprised that Yan Zhuo didn't stop him.

Maybe he is satisfied with her duties during this period?

It's spring, the dead trees are coming back to life, the green buds are hanging on the branches, the streams are gurgling, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant.

The coachman was an experienced driver. Although the road was not very flat, he drove the carriage very steadily, fearing that the bumps would hurt the nobles in the carriage.

In fact, Xiao Yanzhi slept more soundly than anyone else.

Mother Chen held him in her arms and sat on the bench outside. She couldn't take her eyes off the child and looked at him with a loving expression.

"Our little prince is so well-raised. Even a baby born full term would rarely be this beautiful and charming."

Mother Chen has said this many times.

I say this almost every time I hold little Yanzhi.

Jiang Ying and Siyu looked at each other and saw mockery in each other's eyes.

Siyu scolded, "Mom, you've said it eight hundred times, aren't you tired of it?"

"How could I be tired of him?" Aunt Chen straightened her back and said seriously, "It's because I raised him very well. To be honest, young lady, when you gave birth to the child, he didn't even cry. I really thought he would die. Who would have thought that he would not only survive but also be raised so well. It's no exaggeration to say that everything has changed. How can I not be happy!"

Who doesn’t like a chubby glutinous rice dumpling-like child, especially when you see the child growing up like this day by day.

"This is all thanks to the girl."

Siyu nodded and continued, "The young lady is beautiful and kind-hearted, and has extraordinary medical skills. Mother, have you only noticed the changes in the young master? Haven't you seen that the young lady has become a completely different person?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen subconsciously looked at Jiang Ying.

His eyes lit up instantly.

Jiang Ying wore a pink and green skirt today, showing her slim figure and graceful posture.

Her oval face is as complexion as jade and her skin is as white as snow.

Her eyes are as clear as autumn water.

She has a small nose and red lips without any makeup.

What a beautiful lady, as elegant and graceful as a lotus!

Mother Chen had little education and didn't know what words to use to praise Jiang Ying appropriately.

After hesitating for a long time, he managed to utter, "The girl's appearance makes not only men want to commit crimes, but also women want to commit crimes!"

"Puchi", Siyu laughed so hard that the tea sprayed out.

The three adults were chatting idly, and after a while, little Yanzhi stretched clumsily and slowly woke up.

At first he didn't know he was in a carriage. His big obsidian eyes rolled around twice, and when he saw the scenery outside the window, he was immediately excited.

[Wow! It's so early, are we already out?]

Finally, after more than 30 days, I can finally go out for a walk.

Seeing these familiar mountains and rivers again, I believe I have lived again!

【I, Yan Zhi, am back again! 】

Jiang Ying suddenly thought of a cartoon: Just wait, I, Wolf, will come back!

His eyes fell on the monkey son.

Not to mention, his sneaky look now is exactly the same as Wolfy's when he is about to do something bad.

[Stupid mother, how long will it take us to reach Xiangguo Temple?]

Xiao Yanzhi withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at Jiang Ying intently.

Ignoring his slightly provocative name, Jiang Ying completely opened the curtain and asked Siyu, "How long will it take to get to Xiangguo Temple?"

"My dear, our residence is not far from the foot of Xiangguo Temple. One is on the east side and the other is on the west side. If the carriage goes around the foot of the mountain, we should arrive before lunch at the latest."

Jiang Ying glanced at his monkey son and said, "That's perfect. Let's have vegetarian food for lunch."

When he heard the word "vegetarian meal", Xiao Yanzhi's tender brows wrinkled into a ball.

[What? This young master doesn’t like vegetarian meals. They don’t have meat. This young master can’t live without meat…]

Jiang Ying laughed, "Siyu, do you know why people in Xiangguo Temple don't like to eat meat?"

Siyu was stunned by the question and scratched her hair, "Miss, monks can't eat meat, right?"

Jiang Ying suppressed a laugh. "The monks believe that killing too many lives is a sin. If people want to live long, they must be compassionate and not take the lives of even small animals at will."

Educate the naughty child appropriately.

People should be kind and not always think about eating meat and killing people...

He had a hard life in his previous life, so it's understandable that he grew up crooked. In this life, let's be good and strive to be five-good youths!

Xiao Yanzhi, "..."

What does stupid mother mean, advising him to be kind?

As the mother and son interacted with each other, they soon arrived at Xiangguo Temple.

The last section of the road up the mountain could not be taken by carriage, so Chen Ma, Siyu and Jiang Ying took turns carrying Xiao Yanzhi up the mountain.

The three of them were as tired as dogs, but he was fine. He lay on the adult's back, his head slightly raised, swinging his legs and looking left and right, looking so leisurely.

I also learned a few unformed bird calls.

Jiang Ying felt inexplicably itchy.

Fortunately, the naughty kid only weighed about ten pounds. If he was a few pounds heavier, Jiang Ying would be dead!

"Huh~ We're finally here."

When he reached the top of the mountain and saw the vermilion gate of Xiangguo Temple, Jiang Ying wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt like he was alive again.

Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips and said, "Silly mother, your physique is not good. You need to exercise more. Sister Siyu has carried me for a longer time, but she's not as out of breath as you are..."

Jiang Ying glared at him fiercely, and Xiao Yanzhi didn't dare to say anything more.

Siyu went forward and knocked on the door. It was not the time for Xiangguo Temple to open for burning incense, so there were not many people along the way.

Siyu knocked for a long time before the door opened from the inside.

"Donor, Xiangguo Temple is closed for burning incense today. Please go back."

The gatekeeper monk clasped his hands together politely.

Jiang Ying explained with a smile, "Young Master, we're here to pray for the child. He was born seven months premature and is too weak. The elders say they can't raise him. Since saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, could you please give us some favors?"

"This..." The gatekeeper monk hesitated and looked at the swaddling clothes in Jiang Ying's hands.

Jiang Ying calmly pulled the swaddling clothes to cover the chubby baby.

It is true that Xiao Yanzhi was born prematurely in July, and it is also true that he is in poor health. That's right, he has been nourished by spiritual springs and taken medicated medicines for this month, so how can he look like a premature baby now?

Just say that people have believed him for two months.

Before the gatekeeper monk could nod in agreement, a maidservant in her twenties, dressed more elegantly than an ordinary lady, ran out in a hurry.
