Chapter 1536 I'm Sick
Five days later, Zhulan went to Huguo Temple at the invitation of Tao, who prayed for Wang Wei and her unborn child. Xuehan also wanted to see Rongchuan, so they went to Huguo Temple together.
Zhulan didn't go alone; several of her daughters-in-law and Yuyi also wanted to go. In the end, almost all the women in the family went.
It hasn't snowed yet, so the steps on the mountain trail are easy to walk on. Zhulan has worked up her stamina from going to the market this year, so this time she climbed the steps by herself, with the help of her eldest daughter-in-law.
The group took a break. Zhulan looked at the people below who continued to climb the stairs. "If it snows, I won't dare to climb the stairs."
Tao, "There will be monks to clean it."
"The sweeping steps are slippery. If you don't stand firmly, you'll fall down and be crippled if not dead."
Tao was not afraid. Winter could not stop her from worshipping Buddha. She was sincere. "Let's go burn incense first, and then worship Buddha."
Zhulan said to her granddaughter, "You don't have to follow me for a while."
Xue Han nodded to her sisters-in-law, and led them to the courtyard where King Qin was, following the monks who had been waiting there.
Li came because she was the eldest daughter-in-law, so she followed her mother-in-law wherever she went.
Zhao wanted to pray for a peace talisman for her new grandson. She had no way to leave the capital, so she could only send as many things as possible to Zhangzhou. Her daughter gave birth safely, and now she has given birth to two sons. She prayed to Buddha a lot, and fortunately her daughter did not follow her example and give birth to two daughters in a row.
Su Xuan prayed for marriage for her children, hoping that they would have good marriages.
Yuyi brought her sister to pray for the safety of their parents who were far away in Qizhou. Yudie came to join in the fun, while Yuwen was dragged here by force.
An hour later, Zhulan came out before Tao. Tao still had something to discuss, so she just came out for a walk.
After walking a few steps, I met Yao Yao. There was a monk standing next to Yao Yao. There were many people on Zhulan's side, so even the lightest footsteps would still make sense.
Yao Yao turned around and smiled, "Old Madam."
Zhu Lan looked at the monk for a moment. This man must be Yao Yao's biological brother. "Are you here to see your brother?"
Yao Yao nodded, "Yes, the Marquis said that this winter is expected to be very cold. Winter is about to come, so I brought cotton clothes and quilts here. Madam, are you here to worship Buddha?"
"Well, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go sit in the pavilion in front for a while."
Yao Yao smiled and nodded, then became a little absent-minded. She knew that the old lady would not say anything when she went back, but she was still a little worried. The Fourth Master still disliked her all these years. If it were not for the child, she would not be able to continue to be the Marquis's wife.
Zhulan had not taken a few steps when she heard a child's voice behind her. She could not help but turn her head. It was really the same child. The child was skinny and had bright eyes. This was the child from that year who luckily survived.
Zhulan turned her head and could still hear the child's laughter. Although she was not in good health, she lived a free life.
Another cup of tea passed before a few people from the Zhao family came over. Zhulan asked, "Have you prayed for everything you wanted?"
Zhao smiled and said, "Mom, I also prayed for amulets for you and dad."
Zhulan took it and said, "That's thoughtful."
Su Xuan thought to herself that her second sister-in-law was always the most considerate one. Alas, the result of her prayers for her daughter and son was not good, and she was very depressed.
Tao came over quickly, it was getting late, and he prepared to go back to the city.
On the way back to the city, someone rode past on horseback. Yu Wen was leaning against the window and happened to see the person passing by.
Yudie frowned, "Who is this? Don't you know that riding fast horses is not allowed near the capital?"
Yuwen continued, "The one who just passed by was Ning Ming. He must have had an emergency at home."
Yudie thought about Yu's situation and thought, "It can't be bad, right?"
Yuyi said, "Stop guessing."
Yudie closed her mouth. It was difficult to guess too much from outside.
The next day, after the morning court session ended, Old Master Wen had a gloomy face. He had planned to have his eldest grandson come back, but the emperor said that the eldest grandson had good abilities and could be entrusted with important tasks. He also said that more land should be reclaimed next year. A mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat.
Elder Wen chased after Zhou Shuren with a sullen face, "Let's be merciful when we can, Lord Zhou, do you understand?"
Zhou Shuren knew that the old man thought he was a trap, and replied with a half-smile, "Old man, you'd better look for the reason from yourself. To be honest, I really admire you for having a grandson. I thought it would not be accomplished."
After a pause, he continued, "I can only say that the old man's eldest grandson accomplished it so well. It was so unexpected."
Old Master Wen looked at Zhou Shuren deeply. He guessed the emperor's intention, but was unwilling to admit it. He shook his sleeves and left.
Zhou Shuren didn't take it seriously. After all, he wasn't the one being plotted against by the emperor, and he was still humming a song in a good mood.
Wang Ju caught up with them at this time, "Wen family, you won't think this was planned by you, right?"
"I've made myself clear, what's the matter?"
Wang Ju really had something to do. "Isn't this the start of the evaluation of officials from each state? The Wang family has sent a greeting. I remember that Zhao Bo is familiar with you."
Zhou Shuren paused, "Wang family greeted Zhao Bo?"
"Well, I'm well-informed. If I don't know this, I'll ask you."
Zhou Shuren and Wang Ju had never talked about Zhao Bo, and he happened to say it today, "I have cut off contact with the Zhao family, and we will be strangers from now on."
"That's good. I was just afraid that it would implicate you."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, Zhao Bo has joined the Wang family, but he doesn't know if he will regret it in the future.
Wang Ju asked in a particularly low voice, "Has Concubine Hui been ill recently?"
"You are well-informed."
Wang Ju sneered, "How can it be that I am well-informed? It is obvious that someone deliberately spread the news."
Zhou Shuren didn't reply, but continued walking with his hands behind his back, thinking in his heart that the Emperor would not let Concubine Hui raise two sons. Except for the Empress, if any concubine had two sons, the balance would be broken. He just didn't know who was responsible for Concubine Hui's illness.
At Zhou's house, Zhulan saw Lin Qing and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do I think you look thinner?"
Lin Qing hooked her fingertips, which were punctured by needles, and said, "I've been eating lighter recently, so I'll be fine after a little nourishment."
Zhulan didn't ask much, thinking that girls pay attention to their figure and eat less. "Yudie and others are waiting for you. I'll let Qingxue take you there."
Lin Qing stood up and said, "Thank you, old lady."
Zhulan waited for Lin Qing to go out, then shook her head and laughed. Mingrui, her fiancé, never took the initiative at all. Every time it was Yudie who invited Lin Qing over. It seemed that this girl was so fond of Mingrui.
In the second room, Yudie saw that her future sister-in-law was happy, so she reached out to hold her hand. She heard her future sister-in-law taking a breath, looked down, and asked, "Why are there so many needle holes on your hand?"
Lin Qing was embarrassed. "I was embroidering a folding screen recently, and I was distracted and didn't notice it."
Yudie immediately thought of her brother's birthday and blinked, "A birthday gift for my brother?"
Lin Qing's face turned even redder and she retracted her hand. Not answering meant tacit agreement.
Yudie felt sorry for her future sister-in-law, "You are so thoughtful. I will talk to my brother later."
Lin Qing hurriedly pulled him back, "No, Mingrui is busy."
Yudie shook her head, thinking that her future sister-in-law was deeply poisoned by her brother!
