C108 (1/2)
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Wan felt that Xiao Rui beside her was gently shaking her.
”Wan Wan, wake up.” Xiao Rui said softly, ”We're going to get off.”
”Are we there yet?” Jiang Wan turned her body lazily. Since she had just woken up, two red clouds had risen on her porcelain white cheeks. The powder felt like a newly cooked peach.
”How can we just arrive like that?” Xiao Rui caressed her little face, nodding at her nose and smiling, ”It's almost noon. If we continue walking forward, no matter if it's people or horses, they will feel tired, so let's find a place to rest.”
Jiang Wan nodded her head, a little confused. After putting on her hat, she followed Xiao Rui out of the car.
”Sea Sound Temple …” When Jiang Wan raised her head, she saw the words carved on the mottled granite door outside the temple.
Their carriage was parked right under a thick locust tree outside the temple. The personal guards of the Jin King Manor were sitting on their horses with serious expressions on their faces. They encircled their carriage, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
In her previous life, she, Jiang Wan, had heard of the strict military management of the Jin Prince's estate.
”Amitabha!” Suddenly, a Buddhist name rang out like a bell. Jiang Wan looked over and saw a monk wearing a yellow robe walk out of the temple, greeting Xiao Rui with a bow, ”Master, please welcome me!”
”Grandmaster Jueming!” Xiao Rui said respectfully to the monk, ”I'm afraid I will have to disturb your meditation today.”
”Hahaha, what are you talking about, my prince? A friend is coming from a far distance, I'm very happy about it!” Unexpectedly, that Master Chuanming straightforwardly smiled and said, ”A few days ago when I received the news from the Jin Mansion, I ordered someone to clean out the meditation room for the crown prince and the other female members of the clan to rest.”
”Then I'll have to trouble you, Master.” Xiao Rui continued to talk to Master Jueming, then said to everyone, ”Let's have a fast meal here and rest for a while. The sun will not shine like this before we leave.”
Madam Qiao said that Xiao Rui's arrangement was quite considerate. Smiling, she said, ”This is good as well. I was just about to kowtow to the Bodhisattva.”
She had worshipped a Guanyin Bodhisattva at home, and since there happened to be a Guanyin Hall in the Sea Sound Temple, Madam Qiao would naturally want to pay her respects.
Jiang Wan thought that since she was here, it would be good to pay her respects to Bodhisattva.
Thus, he found the monks in the temple, burned some money, paper and candles, added some oil, and paid his respects to all the devout Bodhisattvas in the temple.
Only then did she follow the little Shamei who was one of the guests and went to the meditation room that was specially prepared for them to rest.
The moment she sat down, Jiang Yan came over and asked with a crafty look, ”What did you and Bodhisattva beg for just now? Do you want to give birth to your son prematurely? ”
”You're still a little girl, where did all this nonsense come from?” Jiang Wan glanced at Jiang Yan reproachfully. Just now, she was in front of the Bodhisattva; she was begging to exchange pleasantries with Xiao Rui till the end of her life. But if that were the case, how could she bring it out to the world?
”How is that nonsense?” Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Wan with disdain, ”Don't think that just because you're married, you can act like an adult. Don't forget that I'm still half a year older than you!”
”Yes, yes, yes, you are big sister!” Jiang Wan covered her mouth and laughed, ”I have to get second aunt to find Ru Yi [1] brother-in-law for me as soon as possible!”
The moment Jiang Wan said this, a trace of indescribable sorrow flashed across Jiang Yan's eyes.
Just as Jiang Wan was about to give it another look, Jiang Yan came over with a smile, ”Sure! You actually dare to make fun of me! ”
