The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 137 Just be so loving forever

During the Cold Food Festival, fireworks, sacrifices, outings, and willow planting are prohibited.

In the early morning, Jingshu got up early, put on the plain clothes she had prepared and went to the front yard. After her uncle's family arrived, everyone went out in carriages and horses to worship at Jiang's tomb.

After paying homage to our ancestors, according to tradition, we went to the temple on the mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings. When we walked halfway up the mountain, it began to rain. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy. Wearing a raincoat and holding an umbrella did not get our clothes wet. .

The group climbed the stone steps up the mountain and entered the temple.

On such a day, the temple was already crowded with people. Jingshu followed her aunt, two sisters-in-law and several nephews to the main hall to worship the Bodhisattva.

Aunt Tian's biggest wish at the moment was her youngest son's marriage. She knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and muttered something to beg for her son's marriage.

After two years of natural disasters, Chaozhou was not at peace. Jiang's eldest son, who was already in his thirties, had been assisting his father in governing Chaozhou. What his elder sister-in-law, Zhang, wanted was peace in Chaozhou so that her husband's career would go smoothly.

The second sister-in-law has been a widow for many years and lives with only her son. Her biggest wish is that her son can make a career in life.

What Jing Shu wants is simple. She just wants to be on the same page with Li Ling and love each other as husband and wife. She is now the mistress of the Zhenguo Palace, with authority and respect. She can live in harmony with her mothers-in-law and her sisters-in-law. Sister-in-law Suo's brothers and uncles are very friendly, and she has a job, so there is nothing to worry about. She is not a greedy person, and she is satisfied if everyone outside her is like this.

The only thing I want is to be in this loving relationship with Li Ling forever.

After everyone finished telling their wishes to the Bodhisattva and left the main hall, the rain outside had stopped. Men did not believe in the theory of gods and ghosts as much as women, so they came out just to get in the way of tradition.

Jiang Zhao and his two sons, Jiang Youan and Jiang Youchen, were sitting on a stone bench outside the main hall chatting. Seeing that his wife finally came out with his juniors, he couldn't help complaining to Mr. Tian: "Why do I have to accompany you here every year for so long?" If you burn incense, you won't be able to come out without half a day's view."

Jiang Youan couldn't help but echoed: "I am also most afraid of accompanying you here."

Among the three grown men, two were extremely impatient to wait, but Jiang Youchen remained neither arrogant nor impetuous, looking calm and calm.

After Tian paid homage to the Bodhisattva in the palace just now, he also asked for a lottery for his youngest son, and he won the lottery. It was written: The sky is as cold as water at night, and I lie down to watch the Altair and Vega.

Tian's face darkened after reading the signature.

You can only look at the love of others from afar, but you cannot get it.

Is my son destined to have a rough marriage?

Mrs. Tian felt depressed in her heart. Seeing her husband complaining, the anger in her heart was aroused. She rolled her eyes at her husband and said with a stern face: "It's rare for you men to accompany me out once. I'm impatient to wait for such a while." , if you don’t want to come next year, don’t follow me.”

Mr. Tian was a gentle person and rarely lost his temper. When Jiang Zhao saw his wife acting like this, he guessed that she must have failed to get a good draw.

He said in a gentle tone: "Madam, please don't be upset. I just complained casually and I don't want to accompany you anywhere."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand towards his wife: "What kind of lot was drawn again? Bring it here and I will help you think about it."

Tian took out the sign from her sleeve pocket and threw it on her husband: "You can see for yourself."

Jiang Zhao picked up the sign and read the signature, and knew that his wife was worried about her youngest son's marriage again.

In order to relieve the difficulties in Chaozhou, he agreed to get married to the family of the Zhou family. This matter indeed wronged his son. Fortunately, although the Zhou family was a merchant's family, Miss Zhou was also a well-educated and sensible person.

The child was not considered an insult to the son. I never thought that the girl died of illness before staying at home.

After this incident, Jiang Zhao felt even more guilty towards his son. Whenever his wife complained about this matter, he would silently endure it.

Jiang Zhao read the signature, smiled and coaxed his wife: "This signature is about the reunion of men and women on Chinese Valentine's Day, which means that men will get a good wife and women will find a good man."

He looked at his wife pretending to be confused and said, "Is it possible that another happy event is about to happen among our nephews?"

After hearing her husband's analysis, Ms. Tian's worries dissipated a little. She took the signature from her husband again and read it carefully.

Mrs. Zhang walked up to her mother-in-law and said with a smile: "Now the only unmarried brother in our family is the third brother. If my mother-in-law got this lottery, maybe our third brother will get a good marriage this year."

Hearing her daughter-in-law say the same thing, Mrs. Tian finally had a smile on her face.

Jiang Youchen was a careful person, so how could he not see what his mother was thinking? He stood up and walked to his mother, took the signature and said, "A good man has ambitions in all directions. What I want now is to make contributions and shine brightly as soon as possible. There is no rush."

If you want to get a wife, mother, don’t worry about it all day long.”

Jiang Youan echoed his younger brother and said, "That's right, a real man should first build a career. My third brother has just turned 10, why are you so anxious to get a wife? When you have achieved fame, what kind of woman can't be obtained?"

Jiang Zhao also agreed with his two sons: "Why should a man worry about not having a wife? My son has a desire to make contributions, which is very good!"

Hearing what her husband and son said, Mrs. Tian also felt that she was a bit over the top when it came to her son's marriage. She hurriedly replied: "Oh! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was only thinking about Sanlang's marriage, but I forgot to talk to Bodhisattva."

Seeking fame."

With that said, she turned back to the palace to make up for her request.

Looking at the crowded crowd in front of the golden statue of the Bodhisattva in the hall, Jiang Zhao had a look of helplessness, and Jiang Youan also had a look of despair.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her father-in-law and husband, and quickly comforted her mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, please don't go any further. I was just in the palace praying for merit for my third brother with the Bodhisattva."

Mrs. Zhao also echoed: "I just asked for this for my third brother."

Mrs. Tian was particularly unwilling. She frowned and said, "I will go and pray to the Bodhisattva again. If I pray one more time, the Bodhisattva will naturally bless my son."

"After all, it's not strange to pay homage to Buddha."

Everyone looked at each other, sighing helplessly.

Jiang Youchen came over to hold his mother and said warmly: "Since the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have prayed for the child, mother should not go again. To the Buddha, this is just a trivial matter. The Bodhisattva wants to enlighten all living beings. Our family will do it again and again.

But if you bother Bodhisattvas for one thing, even gods will get tired of it."

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Tian was so amused that she couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, then I won't beg you any more today."

Everyone was relieved after hearing this. Sister-in-law Zhao hurriedly called on the servants to take care of the children and prepared to go down the mountain.

Because it had been raining all morning, although the rain was not heavy, the stone road was still slippery. A group of female relatives helped them down the mountain cautiously in twos and threes. When they reached the foot of the mountain, there were no stone slabs or blue bricks to pave the way, and the ground became muddy.

After finally reaching the shed where the horses were parked, the women's embroidered shoes and skirts were all stained with mud, and they were no longer as clean and decent as when they arrived.

The little girls hurriedly put wet handkerchiefs on them to clean the mud and dirt from the ladies and ladies.

For a time, everything inside and outside the carriage shed was bustling with activity.

The two grown men, Jiang Zhao and Jiang Youan, even had their boots covered in mud and water. Seeing the disgraceful appearance of the father and son, Tian quickly asked the girls to get clean boots to change.

Jiang Zhao said impatiently: "We men are riding horses, and the road will inevitably be stained with mud and water. What's the use of it?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at the two men, then glanced at her brother-in-law aside, and couldn't help but said: "We are walking on the same road, why don't we see Saburo getting muddy?"

Jiang Youchen stood aside calmly. He was dressed in plain clothes and still looked as clean and tidy as when he came in. Even his soap boots were not stained by dust.

Among this group of slightly embarrassed people, he still looked like a handsome young man.
