Empress work daily

Chapter 191
Shang Xuan has been busy all the way, but he is in good spirits.He was carrying a big basket on his back, in which were two large watermelons and unfinished pancakes for lunch.This way, he relied on this back basket to walk back to Haojing.

Every time he arrives in a town, he will buy a basket full of food, and then go on the road, wherever the road is difficult to go, preferably the wilderness.

Ji Qiang's heart ached, with his skills, as long as he didn't want to, no one could get close to him, so why should he be so cautious?
However, Shang Xuan said that he did not go to the mountains to cover people's eyes and ears, but to collect some rare ginseng, herbs, etc., saying that there are treasures in the mountains.

Ji Qiang asked him where the precious medicinal materials were, they couldn't be in the basket that was almost filled with two watermelons, right?
Shang Xuan smiled and told her that along the way, he collected almost five carts of rare medicinal materials, all of which were on the way to Haojing.

He just missed her too much, so he took a step ahead.

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, got into the carriage and went straight to Shanglin Garden.

On the way, Ji Qiang took out the cakes she bought early in the morning and presented them to Shang Xiang.

Shang Yao laughed before saying a word, tasted two bites of hibiscus pancakes, and was full of praise.

Ling Luyan, who was sitting in front of the car and driving with Shang Liujia, waited in line for half an hour to buy such a pack of hibiscus cakes. The business of the Moulin Rouge pastry shop is really booming, and the owner is weird, only willing to open for half a day There are so many people who go to buy pastries every day. If you want to buy them early, you have to go there early and queue up.

Shang Xuan then asked Ji Qiang how she knew the dim sum in that dim sum shop was delicious.

Ji Qiang smiled meaningfully, deliberately not telling him.

Ling Lu then said: "Sheng Jun, you don't know, since His Majesty returned to the capital, every now and then he would disguise himself like today, slip out of the palace quietly, and walk around to look around. Every time he returns to the palace, His Majesty will be in a particularly good mood. "

"So, let's go out more."

As he said that, Shang Xuan gently rubbed her head, familiar with the touch, Ji Qiang's eyes were full of smiles.

In order to cover up her embarrassment, she changed the subject, "Your medicinal materials have arrived, are you sending them directly to Shanglin?"

"What did you send Shang Lin to? That's what I filled the hospital with."

During this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the Taiyuan Hospital almost spent its money, and there was almost no "storage food" in the Curry. It is natural to go out to purchase, but you can't spend money?
Anyway, no matter how he goes, it's always a trip, so it's better to pick some rare yam herbs.In addition, he encountered cheap and good goods on the road, and he bought a lot of them.

It cost only a few hundred taels of silver to fill up five large carts, which is very cost-effective.

The master and apprentice driving the car looked at each other at the same time, and saw the look of sudden enlightenment in each other's eyes.

Originally, they thought that His Majesty's "picking" was learned from Mr. Hubu Tang, but now it seems that it is not at all, it is a family tradition!
When Ji Qiang heard that he had saved a lot of money, he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

The father and daughter talked and laughed, and soon arrived at Shanglin.

Ji Qiang had already selected Gong Yu for Shang Yao to live in, and all the appliances inside were brand new, and they all conformed to Shang Yao's past living habits.

Also in the Hall of Mercy, the tea set, tea-making tools, and Buddhist scriptures he used to were brought in together.

Along with these items, there is Wu Nian, the little servant he is used to.

Seeing such an attentive and considerate Ji Qiang, Shang Xuan's heart warmed.In front of all the servants and Habayashi, he tried his best to stop rubbing Ji Qiang's hairy head.

Ji Qiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He especially liked rubbing her head, even better than talking to her. If he didn't care to come again in front of so many people, she didn't know whether to refuse or obey.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. This is a good place to escape the summer heat. I will come to pick you up when it gets colder and you want to go back." Before leaving, Ji Qiang explained.

After taking two steps, he turned around again, "I will come to see you in a few days."

Shang Xuan wanted to laugh at her look of taking two steps and turning her head, carefully admonishing her.

After the carriage left, Shang Xuan went straight to the top of Mercy Mountain.He practiced Buddhism in the Great Mercy Temple since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the perspective of the mountains here.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the carriage that had disappeared came into view again, and he kept looking like that, and kept looking until he couldn't see it before going down the mountain.

……

Within two days, the news that Shang Shengjun was recuperating in Shanglin spread like wildfire.I don't know where it came from. In short, people who heard that Shang Shengjun was not in the palace, but didn't know where they went, were very surprised when they got the news.

Shanglin Garden is the place where the monarchs of all dynasties stayed!

But it seems reasonable to think about it carefully. After all, Shang Shengjun has made great contributions to offering treasures.

This is what most people think.

A smaller part is also curious and courageous, and a question has long been born in the mind, why does Shang Shengjun have the treasure map of the former royal family, and what is his relationship with the former royal family?
Therefore, as soon as Shang Yao's whereabouts became known, many people secretly wandered around Shanglin Garden, trying to meet Shang Yao.

Not to mention other places, just one place of great mercy, the incense suddenly became strong, there was an endless stream of people who worshiped Buddha, asked for lottery, and tasted vegetarian food every day.

Ji Qiang didn't expect the situation of "one monk with fire and one temple" at all. After all, there are many people who practice Taoism in Daliang.

In fact, the Great Compassion Temple is the royal temple of the previous dynasty.

This dynasty prospered Taoism but not Buddhism, so since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Mercy Temple is still a royal temple in name, but it couldn't be more clean.

Hearing that the Great Compassion Temple was full of incense, Wang Shengjun also wanted to go to worship Buddha.He also heard that the vegetarian food inside is very delicious, so he wants to try it too.

Ji Qiang stared at Yafu who hadn't seen him for a long time, and murmured in his heart that the weather was getting hotter, but Yafu's appetite was still as good as ever.

"If you like vegetarian food, how about I send someone to invite the master from the temple to cook you a table? It's a hot day, it's not worth suffering for a vegetarian meal."

Wang Shengjun refused without hesitation, and said that there was no need to work hard for him, otherwise her reputation would be bad if it spread.

This reason is really far-fetched, she is a majestic king of a country, and some people will murmur if she invites two masters who are good at making vegetarian dishes to the palace to cook a few dishes?
Ji Qiang didn't believe it.

Wang Shengjun thought for a moment, then changed his words, "Actually, I didn't just want to taste the fast food, but mainly wanted to offer incense and listen to scriptures."

"Aren't you clamoring to practice Taoism a few days ago?" Ji Qiang was surprised, why did he change to worship Buddha again in just two months.

Wang Shengjun: "There are gods three feet above the head, and Buddhism and Taoism are not separated."

Ji Qiang: "..."

"What are you going out of the palace for? If you don't make it clear, I won't let you go."

Wang Shengjun was embarrassed for a while, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "I am ashamed to say it, I think, I want to ask His Majesty for a favor to go to Shanglin Garden to escape the summer heat."

Ji Qiang knew his idea.

"Why don't you move to Huayintai? It's surrounded by water, not to mention how cool it is at night." Ji Qiang didn't want him to go to Shanglin, so he found a place for him.

"Although Huayintai is good, but I feel light, and I'm not used to the sound of water. I'm afraid I won't be able to rest if I go there."

Ji Qiang: "..."

Anyway, we are going to Shanglin, right?

After Wang Shengjun finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Qiang with his glasses, and said in a low voice: "Is your majesty afraid that your ministers will disturb Shang Shengjun?"
