At noon, Shen Zhu made a stew and ate two simple dishes. He then brought up the matter of Noble Consort Su proposing to go to the Buddha tomorrow.

”Brother Wen, the Royal Concubine summoned me to the main courtyard today …” Shen Zhu sat at the side of the dining table, and when he finished speaking, he looked up and glanced at Su Zongwen.

”Since aunt has invited me, then let's go. Bye bye to the temple.”

Su Zongwen did not object, he was not a superstitious person. However, it was not bad for him to get a peace talisman.

”Mother, what's in the temples? ”Is it fun?” Jingshu asked curiously when he heard that they were going to the temple.

In her entire life, she had never been to a temple. Previously, she had only heard of the Clear Water Town from the Ah Qiu's mouth, but she really didn't know what it would be like.

”The temple is where the Buddha is worshipped, there is a statue of the Buddha inside …” Shen Zhu explained to Jingshu with a smile, then asked her, ”Does Shuer like temples?”

”I like it, Mother, is that Buddha statue that big?” Jingshu immediately put down the tableware in his hands, spread open his arms, and started making exaggerated gestures.

”I suppose so.” Shen Zhu laughed, and asked Zi Yi a few more questions, but Zi Yi did not seem to be very interested in the temple, so she did not force him to go.

In the afternoon, Ah Qiu took the opportunity to arrive at the small courtyard. Her small face was filled with excitement.

”Sister-in-law, is the honored guest that wangfei brought this time really our aunt?” ”I just took a glance from afar. Aunt really is good-looking, and her every gesture is noble …”

Ah Qiu entered the room and pulled Shen Zhu to sit down, chattering non-stop.

When she returned from Yuzhu Pavilion's place yesterday, she found out about this news from Su Zhiyan and the Madame Xu.

”Indeed, it was only then that Brother Wen and I knew of her identity …”

Shen Zhu nodded, and explained everything that had happened two days ago.

”Aunt said today that she originally heard about the examination in the buddhist temple with Clear Water Town. She said that she wanted to pay respects to the god and Buddha for a peace talisman. She also said that she wanted to relax …” After Shen Zhu finished speaking, he told her about going with the wangfei the next day to burn.

”Our Clear Water Town's buddhist temple is truly effective.” When the Ah Qiu heard this, his interest was immediately piqued, and he said excitedly, ”Previously, I heard someone say that there's a legend in the buddhist temple here in Clear Water Town.”

”Rumor has it that a few decades ago, there was a scholar in the town who failed the examination five times. On the sixth exam, he went to the temple to seek buddhism and drew a lot. That year, not only did he win the high school entrance examinations, he even entered the first place.

”So there's actually such a thing.” Shen Zhu listened attentively to Ah Qiu's words, and agreed with a smile.

”These are all events from several decades ago. I just didn't expect that this temple's reputation would be spread all over the capital.”

Ah Qiu giggled as she spoke. She had always been gossiping, so these rumors naturally wouldn't escape her ears.

The two talked for a while. Seeing that it was late, Shen Zhu went to the small kitchen in the manor to prepare dinner.

There were a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, so Shen Zhu cooked a few dishes that were nutritious. Other than a few vegetables and three ordinary meat dishes, Shen Zhu also prepared a steamed cabbage.

Not only was this dish easy to cook, but the cabbage was also very nutritious. It could benefit the intestines and stomach, allowing it to grow and nourish the stomach.

After she finished washing the cabbage, she put the cabbage leaves into the hot water and boiled it. Then she wrapped the meat stuffing that she had chopped beforehand with steam. She put it on the plate and sprinkled the seasonings over it.

After Shen Zhu finished cooking, Xia Zhi, who was standing beside the princess, carried her away. She then returned to her own small courtyard to prepare dinner.

The next day.

Shen Zhu brought the children to the Clear Water Town's Buddha Temple.

The group rode on the carriage and arrived at the entrance of the temple. After getting off the carriage, Madame Ye and Noble Consort Su walked in front, Shen Zhu held Ruanruan and fell back one step, while Jingshu followed beside her. Madame Ye had specially asked Xia Zhi to look after Jingshu, so Xia Zhi walked at the back.

”Mother, is this the temple? Is that golden figure the Buddha? ” Jingshu tugged on the corner of Shen Zhu's clothes, extended his hand and pointed at the Pure gold Buddha Statue that was placed on the hall in front of him, and asked curiously.

Shen Zhu nodded his head, seeing her point at the Buddha Statue, he immediately warned: ”Shuer, you cannot use your finger to point at the Buddha Statue.”

After Jingshu heard this, he immediately dropped his hand. However, another question arose in his heart — —
