The heroine takes revenge on me, I am a sickly girl, I conquer the country and enjoy happiness
Chapter 106 Hongen Temple
In the afternoon, the Duke of Zhenguo returned from outside, took off his cloak and handed it to the attendant, and asked Lu Jie:
"Today is Shuang'er's birthday. I came back early. How come I don't see Madam?"
It was a grand celebration last year, but this year the youngest daughter was not feeling well, so Duke Lu discussed with his wife about having the whole family get together to celebrate the birthday, so as to avoid having Shuang'er dragging her sick body to attend social events.
Lu Jie handed over the letter sent by his subordinates and replied:
"Madam said she wanted to take the second young lady out for a walk. After all, the number of times that Madam and the second young lady have been out on the street has been very few over the years.
He also said that he wanted to go to Hong'en Temple to see Master Changsheng and pray for the Second Miss, hoping that she would be safe, healthy and live a long life. There were too many people there during the Lantern Festival.
By the way, the eldest lady also came along. What a rare sight! "
"Master Changsheng?"
Lu Jianzhang remembered that his wife had asked him to check once, and it turned out that the person was an ascetic monk who walked to visit temples deep in the mountains in various places.
He eats wind and drinks dew, uses the sky as his blanket and the earth as his bed. His goal is to educate birds, beasts, insects, etc. He has his own way of practicing, and is a real weirdo.
In order to find a way to cure Shuang'er, the family asked around among the people, first looking for hermit famous doctors, and then looking for talented people in the martial arts world.
Lu Jianzhang is no longer surprised.
The master of longevity seemed to have some skills. He had used secret techniques to prolong people's lives several times, but the results were not very significant and were harmful to nature, so he ruled it out.
He had also told his wife that she should be sensible, so Lu Jianzhang was not worried and continued to ask:
"Did you say when you would come back?"
He thought, should he make Shuang'er a bowl of Lao Die's longevity noodles? Making noodles should not be as difficult as chopping people, right?
Lu Jianzhang read ten lines at a glance and changed the letter paper in less than a moment.
Depending on the urgency of the letter, he would throw the sensitive ones next to the inkstone and burn them, and fold the others and put them in a drawer.
"Madam said that the vegetarian food at Hong'en Temple is good. Eating vegetarian food bathed in the scent of incense is good for the body. I guess you have to eat it before coming back."
"The vegetarian meal is quite early. I'll go to the kitchen to see how the dinner is prepared. We can't be careless in celebrating Shuang'er's birthday!"
……
"Where did Sister Shuang and the others go? Do you remember the way?"
Jiang Shuo lifted the door curtain and urged Jiang Wen, who was driving, to drive with an impatient look on his face.
Today I finally managed to get away from the blind date arranged by my mother, but I didn't expect that Jiang Wen couldn't even do a good job of tracking me.
During the day, Jiang Shuo was tricked by Madam Jiang into going to Hong'en Temple to burn incense. He was reluctant to go, but Madam Jiang said that there was a 600-year-old ginkgo tree in Hong'en Temple, which was very effective in praying for marriage.
He immediately changed his mind and planned to go under the ginkgo tree to pray for a long and lasting relationship between himself and Sister Shuang.
He first went to the ginkgo tree and bought ten marriage cards from the Taoist child below. He reverently wrote his and Lu Ningshuang's names on them, and then used his lightness skills to fly to the top of the ginkgo tree.
When hanging the marriage sign, he unexpectedly saw the carriage of the women from the Lu family.
Just then, my mother called him.
Fearing his mother's feather duster, he had to let Jiang Wen follow first to see if Lu Ningshuang had come.
However, just as he followed my mother to the main hall to burn incense and kowtow and complete the process, he met acquaintances, mainly my mother's acquaintances.
Out of politeness, he greeted several ladies, and as he was asking questions, the ladies started talking to him about marriage.
When the ladies pointed their fingers at their daughters, Jiang Shuo knew that something was wrong.
But if people want to live well and live long in this world, they need not only to be ambitious and vigorous, but also to understand the ways of the world.
Whether out of politeness, social skills, or fear of his mother's feather duster, Jiang Shuo couldn't just turn around and leave.
The relationships between powerful and wealthy families have always been like walking on thin ice, and it is too easy to offend people.
Jiang Shuo patiently put on a fake smile, and when he was out of the sight of his elders, he told the young ladies frankly that he already had someone in his heart, and he would not marry anyone else in this life.
“There are many good people in the world, but I am definitely not your good person.
If it weren't for the girl I liked, I would definitely not have the patience to bear the responsibilities that I should bear. I might even be more dissolute than the youngest son of Marquis Changqing, who was hacked to death by Duke Lu in a rage.
Ladies, what I want to say is that loving one person in your life is enough. I hope you can all find your soulmate. "
After saying this, Jiang Shuo turned around and slipped away.
If it were in the past, he would definitely make a big fuss and embarrass everyone, but now he can't help but put himself in the other person's shoes.
He couldn't help but wonder, what would Shuang'er do if he encountered such a situation?
What if the man is a scumbag and scolds her without regard for the feelings of his elders?
Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
Putting himself in other people's shoes, Jiang Shuo's attitude became gentle. After all, the young ladies did nothing wrong. They just came to the appointment at the behest of their parents.
Because of love, Jiang Shuo's heart became soft.
"Sir, please don't rush us. The Second Miss and her companions' route is so tortuous that I can't do anything about it."
Jiang Wen pulled the reins, changed direction, and went into the dilapidated alley.
Jiang Shuo poked his head out of the carriage and asked a rather sad question:
"Just tell me, is Sister Shuang here at Hong'en Temple for a blind date?"
"That's definitely not the case. I don't see any young man of the right age."
The alley was not easy to navigate, and the wheels of the car were bumpy on the bumpy ground.
Jiang Wen controlled the horse's speed and said leisurely:
"It's strange, why did Madam Lu change carriages halfway when she took the two young ladies out, and why did she take a roundabout way?
It’s so mysterious!
Isn't today the Second Miss' birthday? Could it be that Madam Lu is being so mysterious in order to give the Second Miss a surprise?"
"I was quite frightened anyway. I thought Sister Shuang had discovered that I was having a blind date with another girl and had come to catch us in the act!"
Jiang Wen glanced back and sneered:
"Don't dream about it, my prince. The Second Miss won't catch you committing adultery. I don't think she likes you at all."
"You bachelor, you don't understand at all!"
Jiang Shuo instantly became excited. He secretly reached into his clothes with his right hand and touched the teeth marks on his shoulder. He retorted angrily, "You don't know how much she loves me!"
Jiang Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Then tell me, how much does the Second Miss love you?"
"She! She..."
Thinking of the tenderness he had with Lu Ningshuang before the expedition, Jiang Shuo became silent after being excited. It would be bad for Sister Shuang's reputation if he told others about it, but he would definitely take responsibility.
"That's between the two of us, why should I tell you?!"
"Tsk!"
Jiang Wen shook his head. The prince is so love-brained.
Dogs don't eat!
After a while, the carriage passed through a deserted garden, and Jiang Shuo suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Stop!"
"What's wrong, prince?"
Jiang Shuo frowned and jumped out of the car with a serious expression.
He walked around and looked around, then jumped to the top of the pavilion on the rockery and looked out at the surrounding environment.
"No, no, that's totally wrong."
He was still mumbling to himself, and Jiang Wen was shouting from below:
"Sir, what did you find?"
