Chapter 44(1/2)

Tianqing Temple is hidden among the green pine and cypresses.

As the carriage ran through the mountain gate, Xuanqing, the host of Tianqing Temple, brought a group of nuns of all sizes to welcome him.

The guards, housekeepers and servants all scattered from afar, and the maids, wives and mothers in the car got off the carriage. Although they were a piece of black crows, they served their wives and girls in an orderly manner.

The strong-bodied woman raised her shoulder sedan chair to Li's carriage: "Please get into the sedan chair."

Everyone was stunned.

Qin Wei's wife covered her mouth and smiled: "This is not my idea - I'll leave it all to Dai Gui for today."

Li looked at Dai Gui who was standing in a respectful manner from afar and smiled faintly.

The three families went to burn incense together. There were many people and various people and their own temperaments. They were all left to Dai Gui to take care of them, but he could arrange them in an orderly manner, with etiquette and law, and with moderation... This job was done well.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but look at Dai Gui.

Qin Wei's wife brought her younger brother to the inner house early in the morning and paid a visit to Li on his nephew's service. Then Hu Xin's wife came and saw Dai Gui, and she also praised him a lot of exaggerated praise. Sometimes she said that Dai Gui led 2,000 generals to resist the attack of 30,000 Koreans and made great achievements in the Great Zhou Dynasty's defense of Liaodong. Sometimes she said that she had never seen a young general like Dai Gui, and would have a bright future in the future. Sometimes she said that Dai Gui was an unparalleled talent in the family of Xun Qi, and those kids in Kyoto were not qualified to lead him onto the carriage...

Thinking of this, Chen Muqing frowned slightly.

A person who has experienced bloody storms has more charming and majestic eyebrows... If she hadn't been able to confirm Hu Xin's identity as a matchmaker, she would have regarded her as a matchmaker who speaks a lotus!

Thoughts flashed, Chen Muqing was stunned.

Could it be...

But I am only twelve years old this year!

She had sweat on her back. She looked at Li, then at Hu Xin's wife and Qin Wei's wife.

It was indeed a bit inappropriate... The three of them were flirting with each other, and they looked at her and Dai Gui with smiles... I'm afraid I really guessed it!

Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The Dai family has guarded Liaodong for generations. Could it be that he wants to marry to Liaodong?

But when she saw Li getting on the shoulder sedan chair with Shen Yuerong's support, she didn't dare to think too much, so she hurriedly stepped forward and supported Li's other shoulder a few steps.

The group first went to the Main Hall to worship the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, and Xuanqing suggested going to the plum forest behind Tianqing Temple to enjoy the plum blossoms.

Qin Wei's wife hurriedly said, "Mrs. Chen is in a bad state, so let's drink tea in the Zen room!"

Hu Xin's wife also agreed, and Li was a little embarrassed: "I'll disturb everyone's wandering nature."

Qin Wei's wife smiled and said, "What's the matter with Mrs. Chen? We have to come to Tianqing Temple several times a year, but we have never visited any place. Today, we mainly want to try the vegetarian dishes here." The last sentence was said to Xuanqing.

Xuanqing responded quickly and took them to the Zen room.

A little nun had already set up tea and refreshments in the Zen room, but each family still used the teacup fruit plate and pastry they brought with them.

Xuanqing didn't care, and spoke with the ladies with a diligent attitude.

"Mrs. Chen, you haven't been here for a few years. I didn't expect that the girls in the house are so old... If I remember correctly, Xu Sui should be thirteen years old this year!"

Li took the teacup handed to his hand by his mother Wang and smiled and said, "Master remember it very clearly."

Xuanqing smiled and said to Hu Xin's wife: "When I was just born, I was like a kitten, but who would have thought I could grow so big!"

Hu Xin's wife looked at Chen Muqing with a smile: "Not only have she grown up, but she has also grown into a beautiful little girl!"

Everyone laughed.

Then Xuanqing said, "I haven't talked about my husband's family yet!"

Li looked at his daughter and laughed.

Chen Muqing's brows frowned slightly.

Why do people always ask her about her husband’s family during this period? Is it because the old nun Xuanqing is going to be a matchmaker for the time being?

Chen Muqing thought, and then he heard Qin Wei's wife "spit" Xuan Qing gently and said, "Miss Shen is here, and you are not afraid of your tongue being rotten."

Xuan Qing laughed loudly and patted his cheek gently: "It's time to hit, it's time to hit!"

After some pretentiousness, the ladies started to laugh.

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and it was noon, and Xuanqing arranged a vegetarian meal.

After vegetarian meals, the wives of each family led their people to the pre-prepared Zen room for a while. They would listen to Xuan Qing's lecture on the "Lingyan Sutra" in the afternoon, and then returned to the city after dinner.

Chen Yuerong and Shen Muqing served Li to remove their makeup.

Li smiled and said, "Yuerong, you go down and rest. Just have Mu Qing here."

Chen Yuerong's behavior stopped, responded gently, and then retreated.

Seeing that Chen Yue had dissolved, Li immediately took Chen Muqing's hand and said, "Come on, sit next to me."

Chen Muqing sat beside her as he spoke.

Li looked at her with a smile, looked at her eyebrows and eyes carefully, and gently stroked her temples, looking exactly unparalleled.

Chen Muqing affirmed several more of his guesses.

She felt sad and sad, and Hu Yi made Li laugh: "What's wrong with madam? But what happened to me? I did something wrong. You avoided my cousin and wanted to teach me a lesson!" After that, she felt a little coquettish.

Li did make a "puff" sound. His finger pointed at Chen Muqing's forehead: "You, I don't know who you are, and you always have some strange thoughts in your heart."

Chen Muqing hugged Li's arm and pressed his face against hers. Two old and tender faces appeared in the mirror.

Although the vicissitudes of time have different features and eyebrows, there are similarities that cannot be ignored.

Li looked at his two faces in the mirror and suddenly burst into tears.

Chen Muqing thought of Lord Liu's words and Li's life like a fire, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

For a moment, there were only the sound of orange fragrance and green rustling bedding in the room.

After a while, Li sighed and sat upright on Shen Muqing's shoulders.

"Orange Xiang, Cui Lu, you guys go down, just have girls here!"

The two of them bowed and retreated.

Chen Muqing helped Li to bed.

But Li was not in a hurry to lie down. Instead, he took Chen Muqing's hand and sat side by side on the edge of the bed, and whispered: "Look at that Dai Gui, okay?"

It's true.

I just met once, how do I know if it’s okay?

She is really a little difficult to answer.

Li thought his daughter was shy and sighed sadly: "Although children should pay attention to the parents' orders and matchmakers' words in their marriage, wouldn't it be better if they could please you? You are not young anymore, and you can't make your life for those false reputations. Isn't it good, I'll listen to you."

Chen Muqing was very moved when Li respected her opinions so much. He pondered: "Whether a person is good depends on morality, not on appearance... I really don't know whether it is good or not!"

After hearing this, Li sighed and nodded with a smile: "It's good that you know... I'm afraid you only look at the appearance but not the connotation!"

Her own affairs must have made her worry!

Her parents in her previous life always thought that she could take care of herself and rarely asked about her life... Naturally, there was no opportunity for communication between mother and daughter.

Chen Muqing leaned gently on Li's shoulder and said softly: "I'm listening to my wife!"

Li laughed and his dim face also showed some glory: "I really listen to me?"

Not to mention the old man's words, she suffered a loss. What's more, she believed in Li's love for her and also believed in Li's judgment.

"I really listen to my wife!" Chen Muqing's tone was very sincere.

After hearing this, Li was very pleased and said softly: "I sent Mr. Ouyang, who is beside the master, to inquire. Dai Gui's military achievements are true... But when I saw someone today, I felt something was wrong in my heart..."

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Li and I thought of going together... No, it should be said that Li was even further than I thought, and even asked someone to investigate Dai Gui from the beginning.

Seeing Chen Muqing's expression slightly shocked, Li was also surprised, and thought for a moment, and said, "Can you see something?"

Chen Muqing said honestly: "I didn't see anything, it's just... it's just..." She didn't know what kind of words to use to illustrate the feeling Dai Gui gave her.

"Not very steady!" Li said with a serious expression.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Muqing nodded repeatedly, "It's what his wife said."

When Li heard this, his expression changed, and he looked at the Buddha statue on the incense table and became stunned.

A brazier was burned in the Zen room, but Li was weak, and Chen Muqing was really afraid that she would catch a cold. He hurriedly took the black rat bag that had just happened to her shoulder: "Would you like to sit for a while, or lie down!"

Mrs. Li frowned and said, "I'd better lie down!"

After hearing this, Chen Muqing hurriedly helped Li lie down, and then took her off her jacket and baked it on the fire cage beside her.

But Li said, "Don't worry about these things - go and call Chengxiang in, you can go and lean on it early, and we will listen to Xuanqing's lecture later!"

Chen Muqing responded to "yes", called Chengxiang in as Li's order, and then saw that Li closed his eyes and prepared to go to bed, so he stepped back.

When she returned to the room next door, she did not see Chen Yuerong.

Luo Mei said: "Miss Four said she felt a little uncomfortable and went out for a walk."

"Who is following you!"
