Chapter 69 Shangxiang

 

  Looking at Nangong Lin, who was kneeling in front of her, Su Shi's face was as deep as water and thought: Huang Shi has the audacity to sell the house's collection in secret and to frame Lin Shi for the crime! Now that the incident had come to light, I had only grounded Huang Shi, but had not repudiated her to go back to her mother's house, which was already a kindness. And now she wants to go to the Bailong Temple to worship Buddha together?

  When she saw Nangong Lin's bruised forehead, Su's heart became more and more displeased. If people saw this, they would think that she had been so harsh on the concubine's granddaughter!

  "Lin Jie'er," Su Shi looked at Nangong Lin with a disgusted face and said: "Since you are so filial to your mother, then stay in the house today and be filial to your mother."

  Nangong Lin was dumbfounded then horrified and shook her head desperately. "No, no, grandmother ......"

  But Su shi didn't want to hear any more and waved her hand, "Take her down."

  As soon as the words left her mouth, two large and sturdy Pozis put their arms around Nangong Lin and dragged her down. Nangong Lin still wanted to speak, but she heard a pozi whispering in her ear, "Fourth Miss, don't make things difficult for the old Salve."

  By the time Nangong Yue and Lin Shi returned from their slip, they found that everyone else had arrived only Nangong Yan and Nangong Lin were missing.

  Su Shi faintly scanned the crowd and suddenly asked, "How come don't see Yan Jie’er?"

  Zhao Shi respectfully stepped forward: "I was just about to report to Mother that Yan Jie’er was not feeling well and could not go."

  Su Shi didn't ask any more questions and said, "Since everyone is here, let's set off."

  The carriages and staffs needed for the trip were already waiting in the outer courtyard, but there was an additional figure that took the crowd by surprise.

  "Fourth Uncle!" Nangong Zhang was the first to blurt out, not expecting Nangong Cheng to be waiting for them by the carriage.

  Nangong Cheng was dressed in a dark blue riding suit with narrow sleeves, the cuffs and collar rolled with bright yellow wrought edges, looking a little more handsome and a little more dashing than usual. He took a quick glance at Su Qingping, who looked haggard behind Su Shi. These days, he heard that his Qingqing was not feeling well, which worried him a lot. As a man, it was not convenient for him to enter the inner mansion, and it was not until today that he had the opportunity to do so.

  Nangong Cheng waved his horse whip and went forward to greet Su Shi: "Mother, Son heard that Mother is taking sister-in-laws and nieces to the Bailong Temple to worship Buddha today. So I thought I would be free today, why don't let Son escort you there?"

  Although Nangong Cheng was asking, he was already here, so how could he be driven away again?

  Su Shi raised her eyes to look at him, and her heart could not help but sneer. Pingping is the son of a concubine and this Fourth son is far worse than the Third son. Third son was in charge of the Mansion’s affairs. Although he did not have any great merits, he was still well-behaved and had not made any mistakes. However, this fourth son is not good at arts and martial arts, and he is always idle and only knows how to exploit the maids in the house. ...... If his Yiniang Liu(his concubine mother) saw her precious son in this state, I wonder if she would be so angry that she would jump out of the coffin.

  A sneer flashed in her eyes and she said, "Since you're here, let's go together." After saying that, she was assisted by Su Qingping to get on the first carriage.

  Nangong Yue was watching Su Qingping carefully from the moment this Fourth Uncle appeared, but she didn't expect that Su Qingping was really calm and collected. Su Qingping obviously also did not expect the Fourth Uncle to appear. But after a brief surprise, she quickly calmed down and didn’t even a glance with the Fourth Uncle. All along, she was behaving like a boudoir girl with unblinking eyes and obedience.

         There are four carriages prepared by the mansion, the exterior looks plain and unadorned, but the interior is fully furnished and covered with extremely soft cushions to minimize bumps.

  The four carriages, Su Shi and Su Qingping a carriage, Zhao Shi and Nangong Zhang a carriage, Lin Shi and Nangong Yue another carriage, the personal maids all went to the master's carriage, leaving the last one for the other maids and Pozies accompanying them.

The beginning of May, the end of spring and the beginning of summer, is the most suitable temperature, mild but not sparse, warm but not restrained. It always rains in May in the south of the Yangtze River, and this May is the right time to go out in the royal capital.

  The White Dragon Temple is located on the eastern outskirts of the royal capital, about an hour's drive from Nangong House. In order to travel safely, Zhao Shi sent a dozen more guards along for the journey, and there were no accidents along the way.

  It is said that the incense at the Bailong Temple is very spiritual, so there is an endless stream of visitors who come every day to pay their respects.

  The carriage came to a halt in front of the Bailong Temple and everyone got off the carriage. When the sweeping monk outside the temple saw Su Shi's group, he only glanced at them casually.

  On the surface, Su Shi did not move, but in her heart, she felt a pang of emotions.

She remembered that more than thirty years ago, Every time she came to Bailong Temple to worship the Buddha, the Master of the temple would personally go out to greet her , unlike now when even a floor sweeper treats her so lightly.

  The guards stayed outside to guard the carriage. Su Shi led her group of ladies and girls from the house, as well as the maids and Pozis into the Bailong Temple.

  The Nangong family had already sent their housekeeper Mama to the Bailong Temple a few days ago to arrange the rituals of worship. A five or six year old young monk was waiting at the entrance and led them to the main hall.

  The Bailong Temple was indeed full of incense fragrance and a large number of visitors to the temple. As soon as Su Shi's group entered the main hall, it was overcrowded.

 Su Shi was not happy in her heart. She remembered that in the past, whenever she went to the Bailong Temple to offer incense to the Buddha, the temple would be temporarily closed and no one would be allowed to enter. But now she is being treated so badly and has to crowd in with a group of people to offer incense. The difference in treatment was really extreme!

  Su Shi suddenly remembered the birthday banquet a few days ago. She had sent invitations to most of the influential nobles in the royal capital early. But on the day of the banquet, some people deliberately came late, and some families even failed to show up despite the arrival of their gifts. ...... She was humiliated by such neglect because the Nangong family had been secluded for so many years.

  She was not willing, really not willing!

  Su Shi secretly gritted her teeth and decided that she would make the Nangong family a powerful and honorable family again in her own hands!

  "Grandmother," a soft voice heard in Su Shi's ears at this moment, "You don't look well, did you just jolted from the carriage ride? Would you like to sit down in the side hall to rest?"

  It was Nangong Zheng who spoke. She was looking at Su Shi with concern, her beautiful face was frowning, she looked worried.

  Su Shi's gaze warmed slightly as she looked at this eldest granddaughter, on whom she had always placed high hopes. She patted Nangong Zheng's hand and smiled gently, "Grandmother is fine, Zheng Jie’er don't worry about it."

  Nangong Yue sneered in her heart, she naturally saw the unusualness of Su Shi's eyes.

The reason for this was that Su Shi was unwilling and was not satisfied. In her previous life, it was because of her own grandmother's dissatisfaction that the Nangong family had come to a catastrophe!

  "Mother," Zhao Shi walked over to Su Shi and said softly: "Daughter-in-law has sent someone to donate five hundred tales of sesame oil money to the temple and asked them to arrange a compartment for us to rest."

  Su Shi nodded her head in agreement. Nangong Cheng wisely excused himself and was led by a guiding monk to wander around everywhere.

The little novice monk led the way, and a group of female family members went to the wing room at the back of the Xibian Hall.

  Two young monks served them hot tea and Su Shi had just taken a sip when a Pozi came to the door to report that the wife of Chen Lin, a cabinet minister, had come to see Su Shi.

  Su Shi's eyebrows twitched and she said: "Invite".
