Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The surrounding temples are in full bloom. If you want to join in the fun, just go. I'll stay at home and watch over you."

Sure enough, when Li mentioned going out, his eyes lit up.
"Won't Mom go? I heard that the temple's vegetarian food is also very special. Let's go and try it together?"

"You young people, go ahead. With my old arms and legs, I don't want to move. If you want to have fun, just stay with Zhuangzhuang and I will watch."

Listening to her mother-in-law's suggestion, Mrs. Li looked at the second child and asked what he meant.

Bai Anyan turned to look at Xiao Wu,

"Fifth brother, do you have a place you like? As long as you have the intention to climb high, you don't necessarily have to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings."

His fifth brother is an official, and climbing high means good things.

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and then spoke directly,
"We can go to Xiangshan Temple, where incense is very popular. Every year from the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month, eminent monks talk about Buddhism. Many pilgrims like to go there to offer incense and pray for blessings. It is our first time to celebrate the New Year in Fucheng, so it is more appropriate to go to the temple to pray for blessings."

After saying that, Xiao Wu turned to Baiyun River.

"Xiangshan Temple is two miles outside the east city. It is very close and the mountain is not high. Mom can come with us to have a look. I heard that there is a patch of cold plum blossoms in the mountains behind the temple, which should be in bloom at this time."

Before Bai Yunxi could speak, Mrs. Li circled her arm and shook her.
"Mom, come with us. If you don't go, we won't find it interesting. Besides, it's Chinese New Year and we won't worry about you being home alone."

Seeing Li's coquettish look, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
"Forget it, let's go together. It's still early. Let's set off now. As long as we can get back before dark."

Zhang Yishan blinked as she watched the interaction between her second sister-in-law and her mother-in-law. If she was asked to act like a baby in front of so many people, she really wouldn't be able to do it.

No wonder the mother-in-law smiled when she mentioned the second sister-in-law. She has seen it now.

Now that she was about to go out, Bai Yunxi did not delay and asked Aunt Zhu to bring her a cloak to put on.

Zhang Yishan quickly ordered people to prepare the carriage.

Xiaowu and three brothers rode alone, and they rode in a carriage.The whole family mobilized, two carriages, and three horses to go to the east city together.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets are also very lively. Business people want to seize the opportunity of the New Year and make a lot of money.

Therefore, the shops on both sides of the street are decorated with red Spring Festival couplets, hung with red lanterns, and open their doors to welcome customers.

The teahouse and restaurant were also bustling with people, and friends gathered together to talk and chat.

On the streets, people were coming and going, and many of them were vendors, selling gadgets.

The people on the street also put on new clothes and had smiles on their faces.After a busy year, the New Year is also their happiest and most leisurely time.

Xiaowu was riding on his horse, and the timid people stepped aside to avoid him when they saw Zhizhou.Those who are brave enough will bow their hands and directly greet the New Year.

When he went out, Xiao Wu no longer tensed up and greeted everyone with a gentle expression.

"Oh my gosh, it's such a good idea to meet Mr. Zhizhou when I go out on the first day of the new year."

"It's important to make a fortune by becoming an official. Let's not talk about it. Lord Zhizhou is young, promising and talented."

"It's a pity that Lord Zhizhou is getting married. Otherwise, the gate of Zhizhou Mansion would have been trampled down."

"What will happen if we get married? As long as Lord Zhizhou is willing, many people will be eager to get married even if they are young."

"Pfft, from what you're saying, are you willing to go in and have a baby?"

"What are you talking about? I already have two children. Even if I are willing, can Master Zhizhou be willing?"

Haha ...

Xiao Wu's face tightened when he heard the discussion behind his back, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking.On the other hand, the second child and little four next to him were very happy.Not only them, but also the people in the carriage were laughing.

Mrs. Li held Zhang Yishan's hand and winked at her.

"Listen, fifth brother is in great demand. You have to be careful and don't let some little hooves snatch him away."

Hearing Li's teasing, Zhang Yishan's face turned red.
"Second sister-in-law, what did you say?"

If an official is good-looking and young and promising, it is not surprising that other people have ideas in their minds.

Before leaving for the capital, her mother had given her some advice, saying that after she gave birth to her eldest son, she would take the initiative to take concubines for officials.

When her mother suggested this, she became angry and did not speak to her mother for a whole day.But she also knew in her heart that her mother was doing it for her own good.

If she took the initiative to take a concubine for an official, she would be able to gain a reputation as a generous and virtuous person. If she didn't take good care of her and let some little hooves take the initiative to climb onto the bed, it would appear that she was jealous and intolerant of others.

As the head matron of the house, she knew the top ten taboos of jealousy.

But she had no idea of ​​taking a concubine for an official. Firstly, she couldn't accept it in her heart, and secondly, she felt that the official was not a lecherous person.

The two have been living together for more than half a year. The official is not particularly obsessed with this aspect. All he thinks about is how smooth his official career will be.

As for the future direction, we have to wait and see, but in the next few years, officials will not have other ideas?
Listening to Zhang Yishan's thoughts, Bai Yunxi trembled at the corners of her mouth. She didn't expect that her biological mother had instilled these thoughts into her daughter early on.

She seemed to have told her children a long time ago that their children should be monogamous and live a good life, and they were not allowed to take concubines without permission.

If a man has nothing to do after forty, he can only take concubines and continue to have children.In addition, no one is allowed to have two wives.

She doesn't like concubines popping up in the house to disturb the peace of the family.

This is also the biggest reason why she completely beat the boss, that naughty boy, back to his original form.

It took a full two-quarters of an hour to get from home to the outside of the city.

There are already horse-drawn carriages driving on the official road outside the city. They are all preparing to go to Xiangshan Temple to offer incense and climb high.

No one had cleared the snow on the official road, and the carriages creaked as they walked on it.

Looking around, the surroundings were white and foggy.

The cold wind blew by, and the snow on the branches fell rustlingly.

Baiyunxi rubbed the hand stove and looked at the three people riding horses in front. Although they had big cloaks to protect them from the wind, they would not be too warm.

An hour later, the group of them reached the foot of the mountain.

Sure enough, as Xiaowu said, Xiangshan was built on the middle of a hillside. The mountain is not high. The bluestone steps going up the mountain have been cleaned very clean. Many pilgrims are climbing up the stairs.

Under the corner of the mountain is a flat land with a few pine trees in the middle and a few carriages parked.

Standing at the foot of the mountain at Baiyun River, the smell of sandalwood fills the nostrils. The sky above Xiangshan Temple is filled with smoke, and the temple gate is solemn and solemn.

When you come to a place like this, you can't help but abandon those messy thoughts. The Buddhist pure land does have the effect of calming the energy and concentrating the mind.

This kind of place is just like the excitement and surging mood she felt when watching the red flag rise in her time, with a heart of admiration.

"Mom, the steps are slippery. Let me help you go up." Ms. Li came over and hugged her mother-in-law's arm with a smile. (End of chapter)
