Chapter 285 Come prepared(1/2)

Seeing Xu Miao relax, Lin Yunyan felt relieved.

Turning to look at Liu Ping, she smiled softly: "I have to trouble Sister Ping to change her residence. Unlike Madam, Sister Ping is not familiar with the Duke's Mansion."

Liu Ping pursed her lower lip.

For a moment, there was only one thought in my mind: The princess looks so beautiful when she smiles.

Growing up, Liu Ping had not seen many beauties, but there was no one in her family who was not outstanding in appearance. She had seen them for so many years and rarely admired their appearance when looking at other people outside.

There was only the princess. When she saw her once before, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Not only does the princess have good-looking facial features, she also has an indescribable feeling about her that makes people want to get close to her.

This spontaneous good impression was firmly engraved in Liu Ping's heart.

The reason, Liu Ping thought about it seriously, was probably because of "patience".

The princess is good at listening and speaking.

Perhaps it was just as the princess said, there were many people at home and it was lively, and she had been accompanying the Empress Dowager for many years and was very good at listening and speaking.

Make people willing to talk to her, and even more willing to listen to her advice.

This is a skill.

Liu Ping didn't have that kind of ability herself, so she was particularly envious and admired him.

At the same time, I also like it more.

When a family gets along, they should communicate more with each other.

The eldest brother seemed cold and aloof and difficult to get along with, but in fact, judging from the night before when he returned to the Duke's Mansion, he was willing to listen patiently to his mother and talk to her, and he would talk to them in detail one by one.

My brother, on the other hand, looks enthusiastic, but actually lacks patience with his mother.

What his mother told him went in one ear and came out the other. What he said himself was just a matter of coping.

Not to mention Zheng Liu's difficult temperament.

Such a comparison made Liu Ping feel much calmer.

There shouldn't be any difficulty in getting along with the eldest brother and the princess.

"Sister Ping?"

Hearing the princess call again, Liu Ping suddenly came back to her senses and let out a low "ah".

Lin Yunyan didn't care about her distraction, and still smiled: "Thank you for adapting to the Duke's mansion."

"It's not hard," Liu Ping subconsciously accepted this sentence. "Although I haven't gone there often before, it's still my grandfather's house and the place where my mother grew up. I should be able to adapt to it soon."

This is what Lin Yunyan wants to say.

After hearing what Liu Ping said, she said to Xu Miao again: "Look, sister Ping said so."

Liu Ping understood at this time.

His frivolous opinions were also used by the princess to persuade her mother.

The princess used her own way to increase the chips little by little, until they were big enough to convince her mother.

Xu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

Having said this, if she hesitates any longer, she will actually hurt the children's hearts.

She asked: "Mrs. Quanfu, have you decided yet?"

"It's decided," Lin Yunyan said, "I heard from my grandmother that Mrs. En Rongbo will be invited to come when the time comes."

That one is the late queen's sister-in-law.

Uncle Enrong's Mansion and Uncle Chengyi's Mansion lived next to each other. Lin Yunyan used to go to the next door and was familiar with Mrs. Uncle.

Of course Xu Miao had no objection.

There was a lot of talk in this room.

Just before noon, Grandma Xia went to get some vegetarian food, and the few of them used it in the guest room.

After eating, Xu Miao cheered up: "Since we plan to stay in the Duke's Mansion, let's go back and tidy up first. There are so many things to pack."

Lin Yunyan said: "Madam, go first, I still want to take a walk in the temple."

Farewell to both parties.

Lin Yunyan took Wan Yue towards the back hall.

At this time, there were not many pilgrims in the temple, and the two of them walked for a while without meeting many people.

"Princess," Wan Yue's voice was very low, "it has been almost a year since the monk left here. At that time, Shuntian Mansion came to the temple to ask questions in order to investigate him. At that time, no clues were found. Now, you

If you look again, can you find it?"

Lin Yunyan smiled: "Who knows."

She really wasn't sure.

Xu Jian has been busy these days, and Lin Yunyan hasn't discussed it with him for a while. She only asked Chen Gui to help pass a few words in the middle.

However, since the golden paper pointed to King Jin, he had to continue to pull something out.

Otherwise, two gold bricks and one gold paper would only yield this little gain...

This business doesn't make enough money.

After thinking about it, Lin Yunyan intuitively told her that there might be some details in Guangde Temple.

There are dozens of large and small temples in Beijing, and there are a few that are as prosperous as Guangde Temple. Why did Dao Heng choose this place when he was lurking there?

The two of them walked all the way to the monk's residence.

Seeing pilgrims visiting, a monk performed Buddhist rituals.

Lin Yunyan said: "I want to visit the abbot."

The monk looked at Lin Yunyan for a few times.

Buddhism has Buddhist rules, but Guangde Temple is located in the bustling city of Beijing, so it is inevitably subject to some secular influences.

The monk didn't recognize Lin Yunyan, but he also recognized her clothes. She looked expensive, and her behavior was dignified, which showed that her status was extraordinary.

"Donor, please wait."

Lin Yunyan waited not long.

Abbot Mingjue came out of the house and led her to the small Buddhist hall in front.

The old abbot was old and in good spirits, but his stride was not as fast as that of the young man. For a short distance, he held his staff and walked for a long time.

"It makes the donor laugh," he said, inviting Lin Yunyan to take a seat. "There is only coarse tea in the temple."

The doors and windows of the Buddhist hall were open. It had not rained today, and the wind blowing in was quite warm in early summer.

Lin Yunyan took a sip of tea and said, "I want to add some merit to Guangde Temple."

Abbot Mingjue said: "If you want to add merit, there will be monks in the Gongde Hall up front who will be responsible for this."

"I know," Lin Yunyan said, "If it's just some incense money, I won't bother the abbot. I want to add more."

Speaking of which, Lin Yunyan announced her family name.

The abbot respectfully called "Princess Princess".

"I don't know if Master has heard of it," Lin Yunyan said calmly, "My mother died in Dingguo Temple that year. The fire burned down the back hall and guest rooms. After the reconstruction, the Holy Master lit a lantern in the temple.

"

The abbot said: "I have heard of it."

In order to commemorate the memory of the late empress, Dingguo Temple no longer received pilgrims from then on, relying only on royal offerings and continuous Buddhist chants every day.

"My mother also worships there, but Dingguo Temple is far away and it's inconvenient for me to go there often," Lin Yunyan said. "I will leave Xiaoding in a while. I will leave the cabinet this year or next year. I miss my mother more and more recently, so

I'm looking for a temple in the capital to make more offerings to her."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The abbot understands.

This kind of offering requires a large amount of donation, so of course you won't just write a random sum in the Hall of Merit.

"The princess wants to build a tower, erect a monument, or erect a beam?" the abbot asked.

"Mother is kind, I think..." Lin Yunyan paused, as if she was thinking about how to speak, "I heard that in larger temples, in addition to being reserved for expenses, the incense will also subsidize the nearby schools and charity halls, I think

I would like to ask the abbot if this is also the case in Guangde Temple?"

"That's true," the abbot nodded, "It's just that most of the charity halls funded by Guangde Temple are in other state capitals. There are many kind-hearted nobles in Beijing, so the charity halls in the Gyeonggi area are not bad at running, unlike other places, especially

It is a poorer place, and the charity hall is stretched thin and difficult to maintain."

"Then it is indeed a great kindness to support them," Lin Yunyan nodded with deep understanding, "I wonder if you can check the list of sponsors. I can also make more references."

The abbot hesitated: "This..."

Lin Yunyan asked: "Abbott, can't you trust me?"
