Chapter 311 Mother and Daughter Reunited

The rain knocked on the window in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it continued until the early morning.

Cen Yun got up early in the morning to make up, and smelled his favorite lilac in the rain through the bamboo curtain.

The lilac after the rain is no longer unbridled and strong, and becomes quiet and calm. It is an elegant fragrance comparable to that of the hollow orchid.

Fu Lan came over with a jacket and said: "Miss, wear something thicker when going out today, the weather is damp and cold, so you need to be careful of catching cold. The carriages and horses are ready outside, and the people following are also waiting."

"It's just an incense, don't let too many people follow!" Cen Yunchu said.

"Second Master is not at ease," Linxi said with a smile, "At worst, tell them to wait outside the door, otherwise they will not be able to follow."

Cen Yunchu also knew that since that time when he went back to the Yaowang Temple, his father was very concerned about these things.

"Pudu Temple is in the city, so there is no need to worry." Cen Yunchu got up and changed his clothes and said, "The current presiding officer there, Mrs. Jingfan, is an old monk of Chun Jun, a very upright monk."

Even so, Cen Yunchu also knew that her father was just worried.

The rain was still falling, and Fulan opened the umbrella, Linxi helped Cen Yunchu out the door and got into the carriage.

Cen Yunchu told his family that he wanted to pay homage to the Bodhisattva before getting married. This was an old practice, and no one objected.

When we arrived at Pudu Temple, the rain became like cow hair, and the clothes were slightly wet, so there was no need to hold an umbrella.

"Just wait outside the door, you don't have to follow." Linxi said to the other servants, "In order not to spoil the cleanliness."

Besides her and Fulan, there were two women and two little girls who followed in.

Jing Fan was dressed in a gray monk's robe, and when he saw Cen Yunchu he saluted with one hand, and Cen Yunchu returned the salute with clasped hands.

"Good teacher, I'm here to worship the Bodhisattva." Cen Yunchu said.

"Almsgiver, please come in. There is no one in the Buddha Hall, so you can go to pay your respects." Jing Fan turned around and led the way.

When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the women and girls stayed in the corridor, and only Fulan Linxi followed in.

Cen Yunchu invited incense, worshiped the Bodhisattva, got up and said to Jingfan: "I want to look around, can you let me?"

"The benefactor does as he pleases, the poor nun will not rejoice, and the Maitreya Dharma in the side hall is solemn, the benefactor must not miss it." Jing Fan retreated with a slight smile.

When Cen Yunchu was strolling in the nunnery, he saw the moss marks on the blue stones and the fallen flowers on the old trees.

When he came to the entrance of the side hall, Cen Yunchu turned his face slightly, and the two maids retreated.

She stepped across the high threshold, and the wind blew up the apricot-yellow curtains on both sides of the Buddha statue, and the scent of incense mixed with the damp and cold smell drifted everywhere.

Cen Yunchu walked a few more steps, and the door of the side hall slowly closed.

The Buddha lamp on the incense table became brighter, and the glass cup was crystal clear, free from filth.

Two people came out of it, a man and a woman.

A man's life is supernatural, like a jade into a spirit.

The woman was about thirty years old, and her eyebrows and eyes were five or six points similar to Cen Yunchu's.

Although not in youth, she is still so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

"Ah Chu," the woman fixedly looked at Cen Yunchu, with a smile on her face but tears in her eyes, "You and I think exactly the same."

This woman is Cen Yunchu's biological mother, Dai Mingzhi, and the man next to her is Ke Wangchen.

Dai Mingzhi's mother and son came to Beijing this time specially to marry Cen Yunchu.

Ke Wangchen told Cen Yunchu when he left last year.

"Mother, how have you been all these years?" Cen Yunchu stretched out his hand to hold Dai Mingzhi, "Is this journey hard?"

Dai Mingzhi's tears rolled down like pearls bursting into jade: "For so many years, you don't blame me at all?"

She reconciled with Cen Tong, and Cen Yunchu was only one year old, so he didn't remember anything.

One can imagine the bitterness of a girl without a mother by her side since she was a child.

If Cen Yunchu blamed her, she would have no complaints.

After all, compared with their parents, children are the most innocent.

"I just miss you often," Cen Yunchu also had tears in his eyes, "For so many years, my father took me all over the country, but I never went to southern Sichuan. It's not that I don't want to, but I dare not."

Cen Tong couldn't let Dai Mingzhi go, otherwise he wouldn't even accept a concubine.

But he also knew that the fate between the two of them was over, and they could no longer force it.

Broken lotus roots can only increase sadness and troubles.

Hearing Cen Yunchu's words, Dai Ming's heart was filled with tenderness, and he hugged his daughter into his arms, tears streaming down his face.

She and Cen Tong haven't seen each other for 17 years, but looking at Duanyan Lingxiu's daughter, you can tell how much effort he has put in these years.

He raised his daughter well, taught her to read and write, took her to travel around, and even taught her not to hate herself.

Dai Mingzhi's heart was both sweet and bitter, and he couldn't say a word except crying.

Ke Wangchen stood aside, and waited for the two of them to cry enough before saying, "Sister, you can't cry too hard, or you will be seen by others when you go back, and you will have to question me again."

Although Dai Mingzhi is Cen Yunchu's biological mother, her current status is very embarrassing. The Cen family will not let her in, and she cannot send Cen Yunchu out of the court openly.

That's why I chose to meet here, not only to avoid the eyes and ears but also to be able to speak my own words.

"Mother, you and Wang Chen are here, what about Uncle Ke?" Cen Yunchu asked.

"He should also go to Beijing to report on his work this year, but when it comes to autumn, we will come first. Everything is settled, and it will be more convenient for him to arrive." Dai Mingzhi's current husband, Ke Yutang, is the Southern Sichuan Jiedu envoy. Ming Zhi loves her very much.

He was nearly fifty years old, and he didn't want to go anywhere else when he came to Beijing this time. After all, Ke Wangchen was already 17 years old, so he couldn't delay any longer whether it was his marriage or his future.

"Mother, where do you live now?" Cen Yunchu asked.

"The Ke family's house in the capital has been taken care of by the old family for so many years. Although we come back, we still live here." Dai Mingzhi said, "Most of the furniture is still complete, and it is enough to add some household items."

"You haven't messed around these days, have you?" Cen Yunchu asked Ke Wangchen with a smile, "Now that you come back to live in the capital, you should be more restrained. It's not as good as you are in southern Sichuan. No one can cure you."

"My mother has told me so many times along the way, and you still talk about me." Ke Wangchen sighed, "I just guessed that I would not have a good life in the capital. If it wasn't for watching you get married, I would be happy to be mine in southern Sichuan. Idle clouds and wild cranes."

"Repay everything else, there is only one thing I want to remind you, don't get into romantic debts." Cen Yunchu said, "If these girls from the noble family in the capital fall in love with someone, they will die. You should do it yourself."

"Brother-in-law of the Chen family grew up in the capital, isn't she all safe and sound now?" Ke Wangchen chuckled, "If you are worried about me, you might as well worry about brother-in-law."

"Mother, look at him." Cen Yunchu had never been coquettish with his mother since he was a child, and now he revealed his true feelings when we met for the first time, "I'm doing it for his own good, it's just that he doesn't appreciate it, and he still makes fun of me!"

"Wang Chen is really outrageous, let's find out, in two years, marry him a powerful wife, and treat him well." Dai Mingzhi put his arms around his daughter and said, "See how poor he is. "
