Chapter 50 She Still Wants to Marry
Jokhang Temple is the national temple of Sheng State, covering a very large area. In addition to the mountain gate hall, bell tower and Dharma Hall, there are also pavilions, corridors, and mountain trails.
The front part is open to common people, the back part is for dignitaries, and the innermost part is only open to royal relatives.
There are also many dormitories in the temple, which are specially provided for pilgrims and dignitaries to stay temporarily. In short, it is fully equipped with everything you need.
At about 9 o'clock, two carriages stopped one after the other at the gate of the Jokhang Temple.
The young monk stepped forward to greet them, and the people in the carriage got off.
If Shen Jiasui was present, he would have recognized at a glance that the person who got off the green carriage was Madam Lu.
Compared to the last time they met, Mrs. Lu was obviously much thinner. Although she had put powder on her face, faint dark circles under her eyes were still visible.
Mother Zhao was standing by, talking earnestly about something. Mrs. Lu raised the corner of her mouth and at least showed a smile.
The person who got off the carriage at the back was also a lady. Compared with Mrs. Lu, her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were dull, and she looked more haggard.
Especially since she had not covered her face with makeup, her face looked a little pale, as if she had just recovered from a long illness.
If you look closely at the carriage, you can see an inconspicuous pattern next to the carriage. It is the carriage of the Anyang Marquis's Mansion.
Mrs. Lu and the wife of the Marquis of Anyang did not know each other, so the two groups entered the Jokhang Temple one after the other.
At this time, under a tree not far away, a carriage stopped for a long time. Behind the slightly raised curtain were two people, Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi.
"Yun Zheng, the Madam is here."
Gu Xizhi took a deep breath, knowing that a "tough battle" was waiting for her.
After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Lu Yunzheng's response. She turned her head in confusion, only to see Lu Yunzheng staring at a certain place in a trance.
Gu Xizhi frowned slightly and immediately looked in the direction Lu Yunzheng was looking.
I saw two fine horses coming towards me. The person in the front had a rosy face and bright eyes. A jade hairpin was inserted diagonally on her temples. Her hairpin swayed with the swaying of the horse, which was so graceful that one could not take their eyes away.
Gu Xizhi slowly widened her eyes, climbed up the car window with one hand, and pressed so hard that her fingertips turned white.
Shen Jiasui!
How come Shen Jiasui is here!
And who is she trying to show off to by dressing up so gorgeously?
You have to know that Shen Jiasui used to be very rough, with his black hair simply tied up, and he often wore a scarlet or black riding suit. How could he have ever dressed up so carefully?
Thinking that it was Lu Yunzheng who suggested coming to the Jokhang Temple this time, Gu Xizhi's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she turned around abruptly.
At this moment, Lu Yunzheng's eyes were still glued to Shen Jiasui, and he didn't move away for a long time.
Seeing this, Gu Xizhi became so angry that her eyes turned red and she pinched Lu Yunzheng's arm hard.
Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but cry out in pain, and the curtain was immediately lowered.
Shen Jiasui had sharp ears and sharp eyes. When he heard the sound, he glanced in that direction. His eyes lingered on the carriage for a moment, and his face showed interest.
Could it be Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi who are in the carriage?
She arrived at the perfect time, Madam Lu and Madam Anyang were both in front of her, which made it convenient for her to act...
At this moment in the carriage, Lu Yunzheng was gently coaxing Gu Xizhi.
"Xizhi, it's not what you think. I didn't expect Shen Jiasui to come to the Jokhang Temple. I was worried that she would hold a grudge against us and that this would ruin our plan."
"You also know that my mother is eager for me to marry Shen Jiasui home."
When Gu Xizhi heard this, her jealousy and dissatisfaction instantly turned into worry, and she had no time to argue with Lu Yunzheng anymore.
She knew how Lu Yunzheng felt about her, otherwise he would not have broken off the engagement, and he would not have easily forgiven her after the incident with the Ning siblings.
What she was worried about now was whether Shen Jiasui was called by Madam Lu. If so, it might be more difficult for her to convince Madam Lu than she thought.
Seeing that Gu Xizhi stopped crying, Lu Yunzheng breathed a sigh of relief, but a look of surprise still flashed across his face.
He didn't deny that he couldn't help but feel amazed when he saw Shen Jiasui for the first time.
Shen Jiasui never cared about his appearance. Compared with the delicate and gentle Xizhi, he looked like a weed.
But he didn't expect that Shen Jiasui would be like this after dressing up so carefully...
Lu Yunzheng even began to suspect that Shen Jiasui came with his mother just to seize every opportunity to see him.
Last time, my mother repeatedly said that Shen Jiasui still had feelings for him, and it seemed that she had not given up on marrying him.
I'm afraid he got the news from somewhere and knew that my mother came to the Jokhang Temple today, so he came here to please her.
She also thought that maybe she could meet him, so she dressed up so gorgeously. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she came to the Jokhang Temple for no reason and acted like this for no reason?
At this moment, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but straighten his back quietly, feeling elated and his vanity greatly satisfied.
He was originally worried that Shen Jiasui was reborn like him, but now it seems that this kind of God-chosen opportunity is not available to everyone!
"Yun Zheng, let's go in too."
Seeing Shen Jiasui and Bai Ji also entered the Jokhang Temple, Gu Xizhi hurriedly urged them.
Lu Yunzheng came to his senses, took Gu Xizhi out of the carriage, and the two walked inside side by side.
After Madam Lu and Madam Anyang Bojiang entered the mountain gate, they went their separate ways, one on the left and one on the right.
Seeing this, Baiji hurriedly looked at his young lady, not knowing which way to go.
Shen Jiasui did not hesitate at all and followed Mrs. Lu, but kept a sufficient distance so that Mrs. Lu would not see her when she turned her head.
The maids of the Lu family went to the dormitory to clean up first, while Mrs. Lu took Mother Zhao to the main hall to burn incense.
Shen Jiasui waited outside the hall for a while before walking into the hall.
......
Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi walked in, asked the young monk, and then came to the hall where Madam Lu was burning incense. As a result, they saw Shen Jiasui leading Baiji out of the hall from afar.
When Gu Xizhi saw this scene, she couldn't help but clench her hands and her heart tightened.
Lu Yunzheng's eyes suddenly brightened.
Sure enough, what he guessed just now was not wrong at all. Shen Jiasui really went to see his mother eagerly!
When I was engaged in the past, I didn’t see how much Shen Jiasui loved me, but it turned out that I only learned to cherish after I lost him.
Gu Xizhi took a deep breath, looked up and said to Lu Yunzheng: "Yunzheng, don't go in yet, let me go talk to my wife."
At this time, Lu Yunzheng was still looking at the direction where Shen Jiasui left. He lowered his head and said with concern:
"Xizhi, I'm worried that mother will do to you..."
Gu Xizhi shook her head and said with a smile: "Yun Zheng, in order to be with you, so that you can return to the General's Mansion, I must overcome this hurdle, and no one can help me."
"Trust me, it's okay."
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, he couldn't hide the pity in his heart and nodded slightly.
There is no doubt that Xizhi is his true love and the one who loves him the most. As for Shen Jiasui...
Here, Gu Xizhi had already walked towards the main hall.
As for why she didn't let Lu Yunzheng follow her, it was because she couldn't ruin the perfect image of herself in Lu Yunzheng's mind.
There is only one way to convince Mrs. Lu, and that is to be frank, to appeal to her feelings, and then - to move her heart with benefits!
As Lu Yunzheng watched Gu Xizhi's figure disappear behind the palace gate, he couldn't help but look not far away again, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
After a few breaths, he suddenly raised his steps and chased in the direction Shen Jiasui left.
He told himself in his heart that he just went to confirm whether Shen Jiasui had also been reborn.
By the way, let’s take a look at how deeply in love Shen Jiasui is with him now, who was determined to die with him in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng suddenly felt impatient and quickly quickened his pace.
