Chapter 52 Good luck

Before dawn in the morning, Xu Muqing was pulled up by Lu Liu and Zi Yuan, and dressed up her as quickly as possible.

Because she was going to Huguo Temple, the clothes she chose today were simple and light blue, fresh and generous.

After nearly two incense sticks, Xu Muqing finally yawned and went out in a carriage with Yang Yaoguang.

Xu Yirong was worried about the safety of his wife and daughter, so he specially arranged many martial arts guards and maids to follow him without leaving any step.

Xu Muqing thought of the group of robbers her mother encountered on the way back in her previous life, and also brought a lot of poisons that could kill people. Of course, if she could, she would rather not use these poisons forever.

"Qing'er, my mother has already agreed with your father that she will stay in Huguo Temple for three days this time. You will go with me to burn incense to the Buddha every day, and listen to the monks in Huguo Temple who will talk about some scriptures and Dharma. You should be more serious and sincere, and you will be more virtuous."

Yang Yaoguang looked at her yawning daughter and couldn't help but pinch her face, "Why are you so sleepy? Did you go as a thief last night?"

Xu Muqing suddenly felt excited and sat upright, "Mom, we are going to stay in Huguo Temple for three days? You aren't kidding me, are you?"

Didn’t I go back in one day? Why do I have to spend the night outside?

"Isn't this your break-up? Even if this is not your fault, your fierce crime has been spread. Who dares to marry you easily in the future? Mother must beg the Buddha to help you find a good family, not to dislike you being bad-tempered or those who have divorced you."

Yang Yaoguang said, with deep worries appearing in her eyes. The girl who had retired from marriage was almost ruined and could only be her second wife or concubine. However, she couldn't bear to let her daughter go to be a baby for others.

I hope that the Buddha will appear so that her daughter can find someone who is truly good to her.

"Mom, I don't care if I break off the engagement. I don't want to get married at all. Otherwise, I'll come back after asking for an incense stick of wish. It's very dangerous to live in Huguo Temple."

Xu Muqing was really worried that her mother lived outside. The incident in her previous life made her really nervous and cared about her parents.

"Huguo Temple has a wing room for pilgrims, and the wing room for men and women is still separated. We have so many maids who are good at martial arts to protect them. There are also guards left by your father for us outside, so there will be no trouble."

Yang Yaoguang patiently explained to his daughter, "Aren't you very brave before? You have a very hot temper. Why did you become so timid when you get here?"

Xu Muqing didn't know how to answer her. Can she say that she was afraid because she cared too much?

"Mom, are you really not changing your mind?"

Yang Yaoguang touched her head gently and lovingly, "I have already agreed with your father, and your father also agrees. Qing'er, don't be afraid, there will be no trouble if you have monks in Huguo Temple protect you. You are a daughter's family, and you will eventually get married. You must be sincere in your request to the Buddha."

Seeing that she had decided, Xu Muqing said helplessly, "Since my mother's intention is decided, I can only accompany her."

Well, this dynasty with men and women being inferior and imperial power is supreme, as a girl, she must get married. This is a fact that there is no way to change, otherwise she can only marry and become a nun.

Her mother also hopes that she will get happiness, even if she doesn't want the happiness she gets when she gets married.

Xu Muqing clenched her fists and made up her mind to protect her mother these nights while staying in Huguo Temple. If anyone dares to plot against them, she will kill those people with poison!

The carriage was bumpy and a half envoy finally arrived at the foot of the Huguo Temple located on the outskirts of the capital.

They climbed hundreds of steps, and the Huguo Temple with red walls and gray tiles was right in front of them, bathed in the golden sunshine, exuding a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Smoke was shrouded in smoke, and the sound of ancient bells came in waves, and Xu Muqing's complicated and impetuous mood at the foot of the mountain became calm.

Yang Yaoguang donated a lot of incense money to Huguo Temple, and directly took his daughter to the main hall, lit the incense, and solemnly knelt down in front of the golden Buddha statue, and worshiped him seriously.

She made a wish with the Buddha devoutly, begging the Buddha to help her daughter find a good marriage, and did not want her daughter to live a hard life in the future.

"Bodhisattva, if the wish of a believer's faithful woman can come true, the believer will definitely reshape the golden body for the Buddha. I ask the Buddha to find a good marriage for Mu Qing. Thank you Bodhisattva."

Xu Muqing lived for a lifetime and no longer believed in the sayings of ghosts and gods as before. She knelt in front of the Buddha statue with awe. She would do whatever Yang Yaoguang asked her to do.

After making a wish from the main hall, a little novice monk led the way. Xu Muqing was taken by her mother to listen to the monks from Huguo Temple who taught Buddhism and scriptures. After listening for an entire hour, she was finally released, which made her breath of relief.

"Mom, can I stop listening to the scriptures tomorrow? I can't understand it too profound and obscure." She was so miserable.

"Don't mess around. Since you are here, you have to listen to the monks' lectures every day and go to worship the Bodhisattvas every day. If you hadn't retired from the marriage, would you worry so much about your marriage?"

Yang Yaoguang said with regret.

"Didn't my father's mind was not clear after drinking, and he casually decided on my lifelong affairs? I am the victim, mom, I don't want this."

Xu Muqing explained depressedly, why did she become hers?

A cruel and hypocritical man like Zhang Mingxi is not worthy of her marriage, right?

"So you must be more pious when you come to Huguo Temple to make a wish. Only then can the Bodhisattva find you a good marriage so that you can live a better life in the future."

Xu Muqing was helpless and complained in her heart, isn’t the Yue Lao in charge of marriage? How come he became a Bodhisattva?

Is it reliable for my mother to come to Huguo Temple to seek truth?

"Okay, since you have come to Huguo Temple, you can't say something about blasphemy about the Buddha. You must maintain a pious and awe-inspiring attitude. Go back to the side of the wing first, and it will pass soon after three days."

Xu Muqing had no choice but to follow her mother to the women's room, and chose two clean and tidy rooms closest to the east and stayed in.

After the busyness, she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

"Mom, I'll go and see if the vegetarian meal prepared for the pilgrims are ready? You're waiting for me in the house, and I'll be back soon."

Xu Muqing cheered up and said to Yang Yaoguang.

Huguo Temple is incense hot. On weekdays, people who come here to burn incense and make wishes and wishes are all high-ranking officials and nobles. In order to make the high-ranking officials and nobles more happy when they come here, the monks in the temple will prepare clean and exquisite vegetarian meals for pilgrims to enjoy.

The pilgrims have a happy stay here, so they will naturally donate more incense money, which will make Huguo Temple last forever and become the most famous temple in Liang State.

"Lu Liu and Zi Yuan go with you and bring two maids who are good at martial arts."

Yang Yaoguang gently reminded, "Also, don't play on the road for too long, so as not to worry about my mother."

Xu Muqing's face turned red all of a sudden, and her mother guessed her mind thoroughly.

"Mom, I haven't been to Huguo Temple before, so I just want to look around. It's not like playing around, I'll be back soon."

Yang Yaoguang waved at her lovingly, "Go."

After coming out of the wing room, Xu Muqing did not go directly to receive the vegetarian food, but looked around the thousand-year-old ancient ginkgo tree in the temple. The branches and leaves were lush and the green leaves looked like lush umbrellas.

After thinking about it, she went to the main hall, lit the incense, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, put her hands together and placed them in front of her chest, and made a pious wish.

Bodhisattva, I hope you will bless my parents, my brother and sister with peace and joy. The tragic things in the previous life will not happen to them again. As long as my parents, brother and sister are happy, I will donate a lot of incense money to the Bodhisattva, please.

She stood up, and the young man beside her who was making wishes also stood up. The moment she looked at her eyes, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
