Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 128 Pilgrimage to Baiyun Temple ([-])
The weather has been very sunny these days, Mrs. Shen thought that she might as well go to the temple tomorrow to pay off her vows.

After the Spring Festival, Mrs. Shen originally wanted to go to the temple to offer incense, but because Shen Congjia was injured some time ago, and Master Shen was also ill for a while, she didn't find time to come.Recently, both Shen Congjia and Master Shen have recovered from their illnesses, so Mrs. Shen thought of this matter again.She ordered someone to call Gu Qinglian, Aunt Wang, Aunt Ding and Shen Congjin to the main room.

After a while, they came and greeted Mrs. Shen one after another. Mrs. Shen ordered them to sit down and serve tea.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mrs. Shen ordered: "I'm going to Baiyun Temple to offer incense tomorrow morning. Today you all pack up separately, and go with me tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Mrs. Shen had spoken, everyone knew that she had made up her mind, and it would be futile to oppose it. Those who disagreed in their hearts did not dare to say anything, so they could only obey orders, and said in unison: "Yes."

Only Aunt Ding hesitated for a moment, she was pregnant and was always lazy lately, besides going to pilgrimage, not to mention the tiring journey, there are still many people, what if something goes wrong.She was in a difficult situation, Madam Shen saw the hesitant expression on Aunt Ding's face, and frowned, and said to her modestly: "Aunt Ding is pregnant, so it's inconvenient to be too tired, so stay at home to recuperate." At this point, she breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up slightly to thank Mrs. Shen.

"You all go down and get ready." Mrs. Shen picked up the tea, took a sip, and said to everyone.

"Yes" everyone saluted, retreated with the servant girls, and prepared to go.

The next day was the day to offer incense and wish, so the inner house was in motion early in the morning, and three paulownia lacquered flat-topped carriages were prepared at the second gate, one for Mrs. Shen, Shen Congjin, one for Aunt Gu Qinglian, and one for the maids and wives. , there are six or seven thick women and a dozen nursing homes accompanying them on the road.

Because she got up early in the morning, Aunt Wang was tired, she looked sleepy, she lost the interest to argue with Gu Qinglian, she leaned on the cushion and fell asleep with the shaking of the sedan chair.Gu Qinglian made a difficult trip out to get some air, but she was extraordinarily energetic. Listening to the excitement outside, she felt as if a cat's paw was scratching her heart.She was about to lift the curtain to have a look, when suddenly the carriage shook violently, she jumped forward and nearly fell down, Aunt Wang was also awakened by the shock, she opened her sleepy eyes and asked, "What's going on? "

Gu Qinglian was also suspicious, could it be that the carriage was rear-ended!
Gu Qinglian opened the curtain and leaned out to see that Mrs. Shen's carriage stopped in front, and there was chaos in front.Crying for father and mother was in chaos.Seeing this, Gu Qinglian jumped out of the carriage.She is a modern person, and there is no feudal thought that the female relatives of the ancients should not show their faces outside. Now she just wants to find out what happened in front of her.

Not far away, a few brocade-clothed young masters riding tall horses were laughing and cursing among them. Gu Qinglian listened carefully. It turned out that they were the ones riding their horses and kicking over a few stalls on the side of the road and trampling on several of them. There were a few passers-by, turned on their backs, and several passers-by were lying on the ground crying, and they were in a moment of confusion, which also blocked the way of the young masters.

It's some villains who oppress the common people here!Gu Qinglian cursed inwardly.

One of the men in red brocade clothes was raising his horsewhip and yelling: "Slave dog, you blinded your dog's eyes and dared to block your way, so I will trample you to death in one go, just like trampling a grasshopper to death! "

How dare you be so arrogant in broad daylight!
Gu Qinglian was furious for a while, and wanted to go to reason, but Yao's mother took her arm from behind and said: "Young Mistress, you should go back to the carriage." She was not allowed to say anything, she had been forced into the carriage by Yao's mother.Mother Yao is Mrs. Shen's dowry maid, no matter what, she has to give her some face.

Several people below cried and shouted: "You are too lawless."

Gu Qinglian heard the sound of a whip and the screaming of a person in the carriage.It was really difficult for her to sit still, so she opened the curtain again and exposed her whole body.

It turned out that the man in red threw a whip on a man lying on the ground. There was a bright red blood mark on the man's body, and his whole body was twitching in fear.

"Wang Fa, the Lord is Wang Fa, why don't you hurry up and get out of the way and make way for the men." The man in red growled and whipped his whip at the other lying people.

A young man riding on a horse laughed and shouted: "Pan Rong, your whip is not strong enough!"

The other laughed and said, "Could it be that Xiao Fengxian's body was hollowed out last night? Hahaha..."

Several sons on horseback laughed at the man in red named Pan Rong.

Pan Rong was even more annoyed, and beat with all his strength, frantically.Gu Qinglian couldn't bear to watch it anymore.The anger in her heart had already ignited, and she jumped out of the carriage with a bang, and strode forward.Mother Yao was standing outside the carriage where Mrs. Shen was riding, and when she saw Gu Qinglian rushing out again, she stepped forward to stop her.Gu Qinglian is burning with anger at this moment, how can Yao's mother stop it.

I only heard a male voice say coldly: "Brother, if you want to take someone back and find a slave, why bother to stand out here. We still have business to do, so why should we delay here? If we miss it, you and I can I can't bear it."

Gu Qinglian was striding forward when a voice came, which made her stop and froze for a moment, why did the voice sound so familiar.

She walked to the front and looked, and there was a man in a royal blue round collar and straight lace on a horse, with broad shoulders and a straight back, very tall.

It was him!

She couldn't believe it was true, that person was Li Yuanming.

At this time, Li Yuanming also saw Gu Qinglian, and he was also taken aback. He didn't expect such a coincidence to meet her here, this woman who made him miss him a little bit!
There were more and more carriages parked on the road, and many servants came to inquire about what was going on. The young masters saw that the situation was not good and they had business to do, so they sprinkled some silver and galloped away.

Mrs. Shen ordered someone to reward some passers-by with some silver taels, and also ordered Gu Qinglian to return to the carriage immediately.The passer-by took the silver to get out of the way, and the turmoil subsided like this.

Gu Qinglian was sitting in the carriage thinking, she still couldn't believe that what she said just now came from the mouth of that villain and scoundrel. (The young man she was thinking of was actually Li Yuanming) She shook her head when she remembered the scene where he bullied the common people and molested her in the downtown area, maybe he was rushing to do some business today, didn't he say that he also had a business to attend to? what.There is no time to delay here, so these people are simply let go.

This evil young man will not show kindness!

That's it, Gu Qinglian nodded, she was satisfied with the result of her analysis.

The carriage continued to move forward, Gu Qinglian heard the faint chanting bells from a distance, and knew that it was approaching.

The carriage stopped, and Gu Qinglian slowly got out of the carriage. She originally thought that the temple should be on the mountain.But who knows that it is not a mountain in front of me, it can only be regarded as a hill, and a square wooden tower stands in the lush forest.
