Guanghua Temple is built on the hillside, surrounded by towering trees full of vitality.
The buildings imitate the characteristics of the Sihe Courtyard in Northern Zhili, and are a total of three courtyards.
There are five upper rooms in the middle, which are the main hall, with east and west wings on both sides.
The first person to enter the courtyard is Maitreya Buddha, the second person to enter the courtyard is the Main Hall, and the third person to enter the courtyard is the thousand-handed and thousand-eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It is solemn and solemn and unique.
There were carriages of various sizes in front of the door, which were very crowded.
There were endless pilgrims coming and going.
Gu Han, Yang and the others walked directly from the side door to the third courtyard to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva with thousands of hands and thousands of eyes.
Gu Xia saw that his mother and sixth sister were incense and knelt on the futon. He felt bored, so he wandered around the yard.
She went up the corner corridor and saw that there were several pots of red chrysanthemums on the edge of the corridor, which were blooming very well, so she reached out to grab them.
Then I heard someone calling her.
"Xia Jie'er... why are you here by yourself?"
The voice was so familiar that Gu Xia knew without looking back that the person came was his uncle Yang Ruo.
She turned around and smiled: "Uncle, I'm not alone, I came with my mother and sixth sister."
At this time, Yang and Gu Han also came out.
"Sister Four."
Yang Ruo walked forward and bowed.
Then he saw Gu Han behind Yang. He felt tight and said hello slightly.
She looked thinner again, and she felt big when she wore her body and couldn't hold it up at all.
There is a kind of pathological fragility.
He also heard about the facts about Zhang Juling and Princess An Ning... She must be very sad.
Gu Han also bowed his head and returned the gift.
Mrs. Yang pulled her brother and said, "What are you doing in the temple?"
"My mother wants to provide her father with a bright lamp, so let me come and ask first."
Yang knew that his mother was worried about her father and sighed: "Is her mother's health okay?"
Yang Ruo smiled and said, "Sister Four, don't worry, everything at home is fine."
When Gu Xia saw his mother and uncle talking at the same place, he also trotted over.
Gu Han then took a few steps back and gave the nearby location to Gu Xia.
"Uncle, my brother and I will go to see my grandmother in a few days and bring her the best walnut crisps..." Gu Xia smiled: "I also like to eat walnut crisps."
Yang Ruo rubbed his niece's hair: "Xia Jie'er is the most obedient."
Chen Minghui was surrounded by a group of maids and mothers, and came to Guanghua Temple to burn incense. After climbing the steps, he saw Yang and bowed and bowed: "Mrs. Gu San."
Yang turned around and smiled: "Oh, it's Miss Chen..." She left Yang Ruo and the others to talk to Chen Minghui, and then pulled the girl to introduce her.
Chen Minghui is the lady of the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion and has become a marriage to Gu Shu, so naturally he should not neglect it.
Gu Han bowed and gave Chen Minghui a favor. She was Gu Qing's close friend and was not familiar with her, so she couldn't get close to her.
A few hibiscus trees were planted in the yard, with white flowers blooming, clustered like clusters, lively and pleasing, and it makes people like it in their hearts.
Gu Han looked for a while, then walked down the corner corridor and walked slowly along the path paved with bluestones.
Thinking of what Zhang Juling said to her, my heart was in a mess.
"If you really like these flowers, just fold some and take them."
Yang Ruo saw Gu Han standing blankly next to Mu Furong and walked over with his foot.
Gu Han turned around and saw Yang Ruo... This person was coming and going. Why did he come to his side? He was not afraid that others would gossip, "No need."
“Most rumors are unreliable.”
Yang Ruo said: "With Xuzhi's character, he will never do anything that will be sorry for you."
Gu Han was slightly stunned, and then he realized that Yang Ruo was explaining for Zhang Juling. She smiled and said, "...I know."
He looked at Gu Han, and saw that she was frowning when she smiled, and had a unique melancholy temperament, so he felt even more pity: "Let go of everything and think about it on the better side.
No matter what, life has to go on."
"yes."
Gu Han nodded and sighed softly: "Mr. Yang is talking very much."
She bowed and was about to leave.
Yang Ruo stopped her: "Do you... really want to be separated from Su Zhi?"
He shouldn't have asked, but he couldn't help it.
Gu Han looked back at him.
Yang Ruo's pair of peach blossom eyes stared at her extremely seriously, focusing on her.
They were all nervous and helpless... There seemed to be something that could not be said, unlike his usual romantic and elegant appearance.
Gu Han didn't know why, but his heart suddenly stumbled. He always felt something was about to come out... She was stunned for a while and was about to answer him.
But Yang and Gu Xia came over.
"What are you talking about?"
Yang looked at Yang Ruo, "Let's go down the mountain together, wait a little longer, it's going to be dark."
Yang Ruo said "um", looked at Gu Han, and said softly: "Okay."
The thin fog swims in the mountains, and when blown by the wind, it dissipates.
The next day.
Zhu Gaodong was still sleeping in Liangpin's palace, but was bombarded by the empress dowager.
She sat in front of her son and kept crying.
"Dong'er, your cousin is dead..."
"What?"
Zhu Gaodong was shocked: "What the hell is going on?"
"Your aunt entered the palace early this morning, saying that An Ning was looking for death at home yesterday afternoon, just because she heard some rumors... and finally saved her and persuaded her.
Who knew that she started making trouble again at night, hanging herself and jumping into the well, the little girls couldn't report it for a while, and they were drowned alive by Jingshui..."
The Empress Dowager was very sad: "This Zhang Juling is really true. If he had agreed to An Ning earlier, how could An Ning reach this point?"
Zhu Gaodong was served by the palace maids and put on a yellow dragon robe, talking to his mother: "What's the matter with Zhang Aiqing?
He was forced by me. Even if he was reluctant, he never took the initiative to disobey..." Speaking of which, the root of this matter lies in himself.
That day, if he hadn't forced the suggestion that Zhang Juling and An Ning play together... Zhang Juling would not have refused.
It is said that Zhang Juling proposed it, but it is just a matter of considering his face as an emperor.
For the sake of eternal sect or just to get rid of his own brothers, he would not hesitate to pay his reputation as his own cousin... If such a thing is spread, his future holy name will definitely leave stains.
Fortunately, Zhang Juling is also smart, and as soon as the matter comes out, he will respond.
It can also be regarded as saving him a lot of embarrassment.
An Ning didn't know that everything was fake, he also sought her opinion in advance... Who understood why the matter was over, but An Ning changed her mind temporarily.
She cried and cried all day long in front of her mother, telling her grievances... Her mother felt sorry for her again.
This is why Zhang Juling was forced to marry later.
"What should I do now?"
The Queen Mother wiped her tears with a brocade platter.
"What else can you do if you're dead?"
Zhu Gaodong said helplessly: "I can't let Zhang Juling marry a dead person back.
He saved his father's life and mine... He must also see the Buddha's face if he doesn't look at the monk's face.
My father has been dead for only a year, so we can't let the whole world laugh at our old Zhu family for people to face forward and not behind."
He paused: "I think it's okay. I will issue an imperial edict saying that An Ning's cousin died suddenly after getting sick and... He rewarded 100 taels of gold to bury her."
He had just ascended the throne, and the world had not yet been settled. Zhang Ju was old and talented, which was a good time to govern the country and maintain peace.
An Ning is fine if she lives. Since she is dead, why do she still have to embarrass Zhang Juling for nothing?
Furthermore, Zhang Juling's wife comes from the Gu family in Daxing, and is not an ordinary family.
That day, Zhu Gaozhi forced the palace to be forced to do so. Gu Lin was old and led his troops out to fight.
He is not a fool... things have developed so far, the best way to stop when things are good.
The Empress Dowager sighed "ah ah" and everything her son said was true, and there was nothing he could do about it.
It’s just a pity that An Ning is as old as a flower... In terms of marriage, I have advised her for a long time. There are many good men in the world, not only Zhang Juling.
She just can't see it.
Now, I've taken my life alive.
Is it worth it?
When the imperial edict was announced to the world, Gu Han held Brother Man and spoke to Wu in Lingboyuan. As soon as the news came in, she was stunned for a long time.
But Wu didn't care and reached out to take his grandson and teased him, "Good brother, I'm getting fat again, and my great-grandmother can't even hold you."
Brother Man was not afraid. When he saw someone laughing with him, he laughed and babbling.
Since the full moon, he has grown very fast, looking one day, chubby.
There are several nests on the back of the little hand.
Mrs. Zhao held the Buddhist beads in her hand and said something rare: "This child's heaven is full, and he is a blessing at first glance."
Yang lowered his head and drank tea without saying anything, and Sun didn't even speak.
The people in the room were quiet for a while.
Zhao did not feel embarrassed, and smiled and spoke to Wu: "Mother, my wife valued a girl, and it's just right for us Brother Xuan."
Wu asked "Oh" and said, "Who's from?"
"The eldest daughter of the Yongkang Hou family."
Zhao explained in detail: "Last month, the old lady from the Yongkang Hou family celebrated her birthday, and you asked her daughter-in-law to go there. I saw the eldest daughter, who was of good character and etiquette.
She was one year older than Brother Xuan..." She paused: "It's good to be with our Brother Xuan."
Wu pondered for a while: "You are Xuan Ge'er's mother, so you will naturally have to worry about his marriage... Let's discuss with the boss. Xuan Ge'er is not young anymore, so let's make a decision first.
Just wait for Brother Shu and Brother Nuan to marry him and he will marry him again."
The Yongkang Marquis Mansion is also a popular family. Because of his contribution to supporting the new emperor, the young Marquis Xu Pei is even more in the officialdom.
