Chapter 209: Late Spring and Early Summer
On the day of twenty-six, the sky was blue and the sunrise was like fire. Although it was not the slightest bit warm, it illuminated the snow on the houses, trees, and both sides of the road with a reddish color.
Jiang Yishi, Shui Xiang who was holding Hua Hua, Sister Wu and Mei Xiang went to the outer courtyard to sit on a horse, with Wu You Gui driving the carriage, and followed by two guards.
The carriage chair is covered with a mattress, holding a small charcoal stove in his hands, stepping on a small charcoal stove under his feet, and a small mattress on his legs, Jiang Yishi does not feel cold.
When passing by the South Wind Pavilion, the carriage turned in.
This is Meng Ruimo’s private property, business is not warm. After getting married, Meng Ruimo gave this restaurant to Jiang Yishi, and Jiang Yishi has been thinking about how to make the restaurant’s business better.
On the strength and novelty, how she tossed also can not catch up with the “food” one or two, decided to use their own specialties, so that the restaurant’s main medicinal cuisine. The name has already been chosen, called “Nourishing Jade Cuisine Hall”.
Today to talk to Guo boss about the renovation situation, re-recruit a few chefs.
Half an hour later, Wu You Gui drove the carriage and two guards out of the restaurant towards the east gate, and Sister Wu even lifted the curtain to look out.
Soon after, another carriage exited South Wind Pavilion and headed west.
Jiang Yixi sat in this carriage with Hua Hua, Shui Xiang, and Meixiang, and was driven by Meng Hu. Meng Hu was a small head of the Meng family’s private soldiers, specializing in running errands for Elder Duke Meng and Meng Ruimo.
Several other private soldiers followed the carriage from afar.
At the beginning of lunchtime, the carriage arrived in front of the Temple of the State of Retribution.
Meixiang got off first, helped Jiang Yishi down, and Shui Xiang, who was holding Hua Hua, got off last.
Meng Hu handed the carriage over to a private soldier, who took two large baskets out of the car. Jiang Yixi’s public statement was that the large baskets were filled with veggie dots containing tea leaves.
A few people had just walked into the Newspaper State Temple, a small shaman at the door closed his hands and smiled, “Master Jiang, good to see you again, the master asked the poor monk to come here to pick you up.”
It was none other than Master Yu He’s young disciple, Ring Jiu.
Jiang Yishi joined hands with him and smiled, “Haven’t seen you for half a year, the young master has grown quite a bit.”
The crowd walked towards the back of the temple.
Arriving in front of a Zen garden, Ring Seven, who was guarding the doorway, took the large basket in Meng Hu’s hands, Ring Five took the flowers in Shui Xiang’s arms, and Ring Nine invited the three of them to take a rest in a pavilion not far away.
They looked at Jiang Yishi, who nodded, and they followed Ring Jiu towards the pavilion.
Jiang Yishi followed Ring Five and Ring Seven into the Zen courtyard.
The Zen garden was deep and covered in snow everywhere.
When they entered the Zen room, a warm air and sandalwood fragrance hit their faces.
Entering the east side house again, there was a flash of dark shadows and Hua Hua jumped into the old monk’s arms.
Master Yugi and laughed loudly, “How is the little thing doing since you’ve come?” Saying that, he took a piece of veggie point and put it into Flower’s little paw.
Ring Seven put the two large baskets on the side of the kang, Ring Five poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yishi and put it away, the two of them retreated and closed the door.
Only Master Yu He, Jiang Yishi, and Hua Hua remained in the room.
Jiang Yishi took out two packets of vegetarian snacks and four large packets of tea leaves from the two baskets and placed them on the bed, then took out a small copper cylinder from his sleeve cage and handed it to Master Yu He.
Only then did she put her hands together and said, “Master, is my sincerity enough?”
Seeing so many good things, Master Yu He nodded with satisfaction. Again, he opened the small copper cylinder and looked at it, sniffed it, and smiled with a crease in his face.
He put the lid on the small copper cylinder and squeezed the incense-avoiding beads that Hua Hua wore around her neck with his hand and said, “During that period of time in the late spring and early summer next year, the little thing should pay attention to safety. Amitabha Buddha.”
Jiang Yi shi said, “What Master means is that next year, the Fanwu Monk and the Xuan Eagle will come to the capital?”
Grandmaster Yu He said, “If the anticipation is good, it’s not far from eight or nine.”
Jiang Yishi was a bit worried, “Flower will be fine if she wears the fragrance avoidance bead?”
Master Yu He said, “Not only the little thing’s Fragrance Avoidance Bead can’t be removed, the female cultivator’s Fragrance Avoidance Bead can’t be removed either. Remember, remember. With the fragrance-avoiding bead, you will all be obliterated by yourselves. Lao Na is going to make a trip to save people after the New Year, so if the female cultivator has any problems, she can look for Preceptor Five.”
Jiang Yishi touched the string of beads on her wrist. She asked again, “There is no animal that can beat the Xuan Eagle?”
She was panicking in her heart, not only were the Fanwu Monk and the Xuan Eagle coming, it seemed like there was something else she hadn’t caught on to for a while.
Master Yugiwa said, “The Xuan Eagle has almost no natural enemies, and the only way to deal with it is to shoot it to death with arrows. However, no one would want to make an enemy of the Fanwu Monk to shoot that monster. Female monks don’t panic, as long as it can’t discover you, there’s nothing to fear.”
Jiang Yishi asked again, “Why did they come all the way here?”
Master Yu He said, “Naturally there is something that attracts them to come …… Amitabha Buddha, Lao Na has already said too much, his words are over. Amitabha Buddha ……”
He closed his eyes and started chanting, as if he was petrified, letting Hua Hua grab his beard
Is this a send off?
Today hadn’t been in vain, at least I knew the exact time when the Fanwu Monk and the Xuan Eagle were going to come.
Jiang Yishi got up and said to Hua Hua, “Let’s go.”
She opened the door and walked out, and Ring Seven went back into the house to bring out two large baskets and filled them with several large bags of tea leaves.
Ring Five held the cat, while Ring Seven held the baskets, and went out of the Zen garden with Jiang Yishi.
Shui Xiang and Meng Hu came over and took Hua Hua and the large baskets, and several people walked towards the front of the temple.
Several people worshipped Buddha, ate fasting, and then got on the carriage to head towards Huzhuang.
Shui Xiang had already refilled the small charcoal stove with charcoal, and it was very warm.
Jiang Yishi closed her eyes and thought about the old monk’s words. Suddenly her eyes opened round for a moment, catching something she hadn’t thought through before.
Late spring and early summer!
Hua Hua said that Second Lady Ding told Fu that there would be a very important person coming to the capital at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and that person asked Fu to help with one thing when he arrived.
The person that Noble Consort Zhao, King Ying, and Marquis Zhennan specially invited, definitely won’t be simple anymore.
Fanwu Monk, not everyone could be invited, and not a great temptation would not draw him here.
Then, it is highly likely that the person they invited is a Fanwu Monk.
What is the purpose of inviting him here, and what kind of temptation can they use to invite him here?
What Jiang Yishi really can’t guess, temptation, countless gold and silver jewelry, the title of national master, or can improve the monk’s cultivation of what spirit?
Most likely the latter.
Jiang Yishi’s heart beat wildly. Without exposing Hua Hua, this point in time must be told to the old master and Meng Zhimo ……
By the time they arrived at Huzhuang, the sky was already all dark.
Sister Wu and Great Uncle Wu were waiting in a circle at the entrance.
When they saw the carriage coming, they hurriedly opened the gate.
Sister Wu personally helped Jiang Yishi down, “The kang is ready, big grandma go warm yourself.”
Jiang Yishi’s hands and feet were freezing, so she went to sit on the kang.
Hua Hua was so excited to be here that she climbed up to the roof and wouldn’t come down.
The food was laid out on the kang table, and Jiang Yishi first drank a bowl of piping hot pork belly soup before she felt warmed up.
After the meal, Grandma Lin’s son and daughter-in-law and two grandchildren came to kowtow to Jiang Yishi, who rewarded the two adults with a purse filled with silver ingots and the two children with a red gold collar each.
