Feng Heming

Chapter 98
Jiang Yuanxi was taken aback for a moment, and then praised, "The Gu family has a great plan!"

King Weisheng, Chen Chao, is the youngest son of the empress. He was favored at a young age and has always been favored by the emperor and the empress. Even the empress dowager loves this prince very much. None of them would wrestle with King Wei Sheng. Except for the elder brothers on top of King Wei Sheng, the other princes would not dare to compete with him at all. For the sake of King Wei Sheng, the aristocratic family would not take action against the Gu family.

"It seems that the Gu family has found a big backer this time."

Jiang Yuanxi's eyebrows twitched, "It's just that if this kind of profit transaction cannot have a more reliable relationship connection, the first one to annex the Gu family in the future will be their former big backer."

"Wesheng Dynasty, not yet married."

Zheng Youniang smiled lightly, what Jiang Yuanxi thought of, of course she thought of it too.

Jiang Yuanxi sighed, "Gu Sanniang is an exquisite person, what a pity."

Both mother and daughter have thought of it, if the Gu family wants to rely on King Wei Sheng for a long time, they must have a deeper relationship with King Wei Sheng, and there is no closer relationship than the daughter of the Gu family among the concubines of King Wei Sheng relationship.

Yes, in the eyes of Zheng Youniang and Jiang Yuanxi, the Gu family's family status is only enough to be the concubine of King Wei Sheng, and it is absolutely impossible to be a concubine. Just look at the elder brothers of the same mother who are on the head of King Wei Sheng Since they married all the legitimate daughters of the aristocratic family, he knew that his concubine should also be the daughter of the aristocratic family.

The Gu family is not qualified enough.

That's why Jiang Yuanxi said that it's a pity that such a Linglong person as Gu Yidan went to be a concubine for others.

"Wu Niang, take a rest tomorrow, and go to the Jingxin Nunnery with Aunt to pray for you."

Zheng Youniang told her why she called her daughter over, and Jiang Yuanxi obediently agreed.

Early the next morning, Zheng Youniang took Jiang Yuanxi to the meditation temple outside the city in a carriage. This temple enshrines the Queen Mother of the West and the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and it is a Taoist temple where many female relatives pray for blessings.

"Master Huijing, you are being polite, young lady."

Zheng Youniang bowed to a female crown, Jiang Yuanxi followed beside her, and also bowed, "Wu Niang has met the Master Huijing."

Huijing Guanzhu returned a salute, "You two laymen, Huijing is very polite."

"Layman Zheng, little layman, this way please."

The Master Huijing led the two people to the main hall. At this time, there were already many women in the hall burning incense and praying for blessings. The Master Huijing led the two to the Jiutian Xuannv to sit on the statue of money, and asked them to offer incense and pray. .

Zheng Youniang took Jiang Yuanxi and bowed respectfully to Nine Heavens Xuannv and Queen Mother of the West, and then discussed with Master Huijing about ordering a seven-story treasured tripod.

This is what Zheng Youniang ordered for Jiang Yuanxi. The seven-story tripod is the highest tripod in the Meditation Temple. There is an ever-burning lamp in the tripod. Later, the tripod will be blessed by the female crowns in the Taoist temple day and night.

This is the treasure tripod that protects Jiang Yuanxi's safety.

Just such a tripod cost Zheng Youniang five hundred gold.

But Zheng Youniang gave the five hundred gold to Master Huijing without blinking an eye. For her, her daughter's safety and happiness are more important than gold and silver.

Zheng Youniang felt that Bao Ding was worth the gold just because he could get blessings from the female champions in the audience day and night.

Although Jiang Yuanxi felt that such a treasure tripod was useless, it was because of A Niang's love for her daughter, and she would not object. Who made her A Niang have a rich dowry and a lot of money in her hands.

Zheng Youniang was still discussing with the Master Huijing about the shape of the Baoding. The casting of the Baoding was made from the five hundred gold, which is why Jiang Yuanxi felt that the asking price for the Jingxin Temple was not high.

After all, casting a treasure tripod also requires money.

"Guardian."

A female crown came to the two of them and saluted them. The female crown first smiled apologetically at Zheng Youniang, and then said to Master Huijing: "My Lord, the Crown Princess sent someone to say that she wants to Please let us see the female crowns to give her a lecture."

Master Huijing was stunned, "The Crown Princess wants us to lecture on scriptures for her? What scriptures does she want to hear?"

"It's "Tao Te Ching", "Lao Zi", "Zhuang Zi"." The female crown replied.

Master Huijing thought for a while, "In this case, you can go to the Prince's Mansion with a few female crowns who are good at these scriptures."

The female crown leads the way.

After the female crown left, Master Huijing continued to discuss with Zheng Youniang about Baoding's appearance.

Jiang Yuanxi was on the side, looking at the back of the female crown walking away, a doubt emerged in his heart, didn't the princess always believe in Buddhism?How could she come to meditate and let the queens preach to her the scriptures of Taoism?
Jiang Yuanxi thought about it, and felt that he was really meddling in other people's business. The thoughts of those noble people changed every day, who knew what they were thinking.

Turning around, she put the doubts behind her.

Zheng Youniang finally finished discussing with Master Huijing, and brought Jiang Yuanxi back to the Jiang Mansion.

A few days later, the Jiang family received a gilded post.

"Wu Niang, you don't need to go to the ethnology and martial arts field tomorrow, you follow A Niang to the Prince's Mansion, the Prince is hosting a banquet, and our Jiang family gentlemen and young ladies will all go."

Jiang Yuanxi promised, and on the second day, Zheng Youniang, Cheng Shi, and Lu Shi each took their daughters, and all the lords in the East Mansion who had not yet become officials went to the Prince's Mansion together. Jiang Boyong and Jiang Bojin rode horses to guard Zheng Youniang and Jiang Yuanxi By the carriage.

For the prince's banquet this time, all the aristocratic families in the capital attended the banquet, and some young talents and young ladies who had made a name for themselves in the capital but came from humble backgrounds also received invitations from the prince's mansion.

In the garden, Jiang Yuanxi met Gu Yidan, who had become famous again recently, and beside Gu Yidan, she saw Guiyue who sold her body to bury her father.

At this time, Guiyue was wearing a maid's dress, her face was ruddy, and her face was a little fuller, her withered and yellow hair became much darker, and her every move carried a trace of Xiaojiabiyu, completely different from what she saw before. two people.

It seems that Gu Sanniang still reused that little girl.

Jiang Yuanxi just glanced at it, and then looked away, Zhang Quan had already reminded Gu Yidan, if she didn't listen, Jiang Yuanxi would not be too troublesome to be annoying.

Everyone has their own small circle, Zheng Youniang and other wives have already gathered together, the little ladies have also found their own little friends, the gentlemen gather together to chat and laugh, and some people are playing throwing pots and other fun, the noise of the whole garden is in the air Diffuse, people everywhere, voices everywhere.

Jiang Yuanxi also joined his little friend Cui Yaniang, and the two chatted and laughed intimately together. After a while, Jiang Yuanxi pointed to the big tripod in the middle of the garden and asked: "What is that?"

It was a large cauldron as tall as one person, under which a fire was lit, and there was a faint fragrance overflowing.

This big tripod is very conspicuous, anyone who enters the garden can see it immediately.

"I heard that this is why the prince hosted the banquet."

Cui Yaniang leaned on Jiang Yuanxi's shoulder and whispered in her ear: "It is said that the prince is hosting a banquet and wants to invite us to eat meat."
