Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 270
After feeling a hint of helplessness from Qiao Zhi, Jiang Sheng walked to her side: "Let's go?"

Now they said they were halfway up the mountain, but in fact they were not far from the top of the mountain, and they could see Jinghe Temple in about two or three quarters of an hour.

Although Jiang Sheng and Qiao Zhi were close along the way, it was difficult for them to talk when there were other people around. They could only chat casually.

Zhao Qingyu was still young, Zhao Qingshan took her with her, and the other cousin was a man, so only Zhao Qingqiong came to chat with her occasionally.

After walking for about two sticks of incense, you can see a large field next to you from a stone step road. Qiao Zhi looked to the side curiously.

Zhao Qingzhuo finally interjected: "This is considered to be within the scope of Jinghe Temple."

"That field is grown and eaten by the masters in the temple." Seeing that Qiao Zhi was interested, he explained with a smile.

"Jinghe Temple advocates 'no work for a day, no food for a day'. After a while, the grain in the field will be taken back to the temple and used as rations for the next whole year."

Qiao Zhi looked away: "That's it."

A group of people walked farther and farther away from the field. They crossed the arch bridge, entered the gate, and walked along the screen wall.

Suddenly, several bells rang beside the temple.The bell sounded melodiously and drifted far away, without distinguishing the specific direction, echoing in the solemn temple was even more solemn.

Seeing the upturned corner of the eaves on the steps that blocked most of his sight, Qiao Zhi quietly rubbed his tired legs, and pulled Jiang Sheng over: "Sheng Sheng, look, it seems that we have arrived—"

Zhao Qingzhuo carefully noticed Qiao Zhi's actions, and asked considerately: "Cousin Qiao is tired? If not, let's take a rest first."

The four tripod incense burners that can be seen are full of incense, and the white mist curls up above the cigarettes. After passing through the mist, there are dozens of steps, and the main temple can be reached by climbing the steps.

Zhao Qingqiong also said that there is no need to rush up: "The two cousins ​​are here for the first time, so you can walk around first."

She pointed in the direction: "There are silk fans, Buddhist beads, or peace charms for sale over there. Although they are not said to be of any use, they are also a souvenir, as a good intention."

Qiao Zhi was surprised.

The temples in central Beijing have never had such a big business, even during the annual incense meeting.

Buddha beads, peace charms, etc. are even more difficult to obtain.

Qiao Zhi didn't think it was very good, and it seemed that they were not sincere: "If not, we should burn the incense first, and then come down for a stroll."

She glanced at the members of the Zhao family, then went to ask Jiang Sheng for his opinion.

Jiang Sheng didn't care.

The crowd first climbed the steps to enter the main temple, burned incense to the gods one by one, and donated money for sesame oil before preparing to go down again.

The master of Jinghe Temple asked them to eat vegetarian food: "There will also be sugar water. If the benefactors do not dislike it, when the bell strikes twelve, they can go to the vegetarian hall to taste it with other benefactors."

Jiang Sheng looked sideways at Qiao Zhi. She said yesterday that she would take Qiao Zhi to Empress Jiang.

Qiao Zhi, who was next to her, had completely forgotten about it, and was so excited that she almost agreed.

Zhao Qingqiong also said: "The vegetarian dishes in Jinghe Temple are all rice and vegetables grown by the little masters themselves. It is very rare. If there is no urgent matter, the two cousins ​​can stay and taste."

Feeling Qiao Zhi's eagerness to try hidden under his reserve, Jiang Sheng responded with a smile: "Then bother."

The master clasped his hands together and leaned slightly, shook his head and said the full stop: "...Young monk, I have made a note. The benefactors will do their own thing first."

He reminded again: "Just don't forget the meal."

It's still early for dinner, so they went to the place Zhao Qingqiong said first for a stroll.

There are not many pilgrims there, but the various stalls are quite lively.

"Here, here—" Qiao Zhi immediately pulled Jiang Sheng to look for the safety talisman.

The one selling the peace talisman was a little master in a plain gray robe.

Different from the other masters they saw just now, this little master was only about ten years old, and he was full of quick-wittedness. If he wasn't wearing monk clothes, he would have looked like a lively boy from some family.

Jiang Sheng glanced past the little master, and landed on the peace talisman hanging in front of him.

There are many kinds of peace charms, some are embroidered with auspicious patterns, and some are embroidered with temples. It should be a simple version of Jinghe Temple, with small characters on the side. It is a bit like the souvenirs of scenic spots she has seen before.
Seeing her looking over, the little master grinned: "Do you want to buy a peace talisman? All of them have offered incense in front of the statue. The Buddha blesses you with peace, no disease, no problem, no obstacles, no setbacks."

He stretched out two fingers: "Just two taels of silver."

A girl next to him who came over to watch it joked, "Won't the Buddha blame you for selling the peace amulets?"

The little master was straightforward: "My Buddha is based on compassion, and I don't care about these things, as long as I am sincere."

"Besides, the gods are all empty, we still have to eat."

The girl covered her lips and smiled, and picked up one of the amulets: "Is this okay?"

"Girl, you have really good eyesight..."

Looking at the young master's appearance as a seasoned businessman, Jiang Sheng was amused, and picked together with Qiao Zhi.

"...The apricot yellow one is pretty." Qiao Zhi picked up one and put down the other, "The cloud pattern one is also pretty."

When she was struggling, Jiang Sheng had already chosen.

Qiao Zhi turned her head: "Shengsheng, what do you want so much for?"

Jiang Sheng chose three peace blessings, one with a snow-blue lotus pattern, one with a lotus-colored wreath pattern, and one with an indigo blue Ruyi pattern.

There are three small characters "Jinghe Temple" embroidered on it.

Jiang Sheng didn't answer but asked, "When are you going back to Beijing?"

Qiao Zhi said, "When are you going back, I'll be with you."

her.

Jiang Sheng didn't know.

She then said: "Then let's see if anyone wants to go back to the capital. Let's choose a few people to go back together for a while?"

"This..." Qiao Zhi didn't turn around for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "It's not very good..."

Qiao Zhi's understanding of the safety talisman is still in the rare situation of a talisman in the capital.

Is it really effective to buy wholesale like this?

"Is it not good?"

Jiang Sheng picked up an okra-colored peace blessing and said: "Didn't my little master say that the Buddha is based on compassion, so I won't mind."

Although the price of two taels of silver is a lot for ordinary people, it is not much for them.

Besides, she just felt that she had come and gone, so many roads were difficult to walk, and she kept a souvenir, she didn't really want to rely on this flimsy talisman to keep her safe.

The little master nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, and said cheerfully: "The benefactor has added incense to our temple, how can he be blamed?"

The little master said so, and it happened that Qiao Zhi was also making a difficult choice, so he quickly agreed with this decision.

They counted the number of people, three people from Jiangpinghou's residence, six elders of the Qiao family, five brothers and sisters, a sister-in-law and a young niece, as well as Liu Langzhong, Liu Qing, Zhong Yi, Xu Zhi'an...

In the end, I picked and bought a total of 24 Ping An Fu, which made the people around me dumbfounded.
