Lin Wanwan just lived in the Zen courtyard of Daxingshan Temple. She had nothing to do every night, but she just needed to listen to the monks chanting sutras during the day.
The Daxingshan Temple of the Tang Dynasty was not an ordinary temple of later generations, but a place with the characteristics of the times that integrated education, culture and entertainment.
The place is densely populated with celebrities and dignitaries, and it is one of the places for exchanges in the cultural and entertainment circles of the Tang Dynasty.
There are many people living in the temple's Zen courtyard, both men and women. For example, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty lived in temples and Taoist temples just for the convenience of pampering male favorites, not really to worship the Buddha.
Because Lin Wanwan is the Holy Lady of the Heart Lamp, she naturally cannot mix with ordinary people. Therefore, the courtyard she lives in is a separate and quiet courtyard, which is some distance away from the Zen rooms where other female lay monks and literati live.
Aunt Xiao was greatly surprised when she learned that Lin Wanwan had turned into the Heart Lamp Saint after a visit to the temple.
Before leaving, he came to visit Lin Wanwan in the Zen room and gave her some earnest instructions.
Although the two sisters-in-law did not catch Lin Wanwan accompanying her to visit Xiao Chong's stepmother, Mrs. Wu, they still shamelessly struck up a conversation with Mrs. Wu as Lin Wanwan's mother-in-law.
Mrs. Wu had given up trying because the arranged marriage had not been able to conceive a child. So Lin Wanwan's family came to find her, and she naturally gave her some face.
In fact, she despises the Wu family and his group in her heart. The other party's status is too low, but that does not prevent her from making excuses with them.
From the very beginning, Datang was just a farming game in her mind. Leading the ancestors of Linjiazhuang to change their lives and create a peach blossom garden was like playing a holographic infrastructure game.
If anything happens, she might be able to provide some help.
As a blood relative of hers, Aunt Xiao cannot be easily dismissed.
If you are from a lowly family, you will be a lowly person for generations; if you are from a wealthy family, you will be superior to others since you were born.
Anyway, even if she doesn't agree, she won't lose anything. If she agrees, she will make a lot of money!
Changsun has the style of a queen and is much easier to get along with than Li Shimin. Lin Wanwan's various weird pregnancy tutorials are quite popular with her.
Of course, Lin Wanwan could also choose to wait until Gu Jingyu gave birth to the child before visiting her mother and son. But when she thought of Liang Xingchi's family, she felt that it would be better to go there earlier.
This is the complex social relationship of the Tang Dynasty. It is inextricably linked and you cannot avoid it even if you want to.
If not to say that Buddhism is indeed transcendent, after the news of her becoming the Holy Lady of the Heart Lamp was sent to the palace, Queen Changsun did not blame her for not doing her job properly, but instead gave her a string of Buddhist beads.
During that time, she was too lazy to socialize with her husband's colleagues and female relatives.
It's a pity that when Empress Changsun gave her something, she gave it verbally and did not include an order from the queen. If there was an order to prove her identity, this string of beads would be worth hundreds of millions.
She must accept this reality, otherwise she will have a miserable old age waiting for her.
But no matter what, even without the bonus from Queen Changsun, this thing itself is priceless, and Lin Wanwan is naturally happy.
As for the actual benefits, she won't show them.
She was tired of being a good wife.
In the Tang Dynasty, who didn’t have one or two strange relatives?
Lin Wanwan certainly didn't expect that Aunt Xiao could still take advantage of her even though she had avoided it.
Of course, this is due to the emperor's relics. If the string in Lin Wanwan's hands cannot prove that it was used by Empress Changsun, it would be impossible to fetch such a high price.
If Lin Wanwan wants to be granted the title of Township Lord based on merit, she must first have a clean, legal and noble background.
Lin Wanwan, who is obsessed with money, asked Lu Shouyue to look at it for help. What Queen Changsun rewarded was a string of agarwood beads with three dzi beads.
She was not Xiao Chong's biological mother, so naturally she had to give enough attention to Lin Wanwan, the fiancée Xiao Chong himself and the emperor had begged for, in terms of face, and she still had to do some superficial work.
She initially only used Xiao Chong as an NPC guide - to be precise, at first, she treated everyone in the Tang Dynasty as NPCs except Xiao Qingyu.
As for Xiao Chong, he has also changed from a simple golden thigh NPC to what he is now.
If there is a chance in the future, Lin Wanwan plans to ask for the grace of the Changsun family.
But later on, her feelings became more and more real. Her loyal servants, her clan members, her grandmother and clan leader who loved her very much all made her gradually feel real about the Tang Dynasty.
If Lin Wanwan had not assumed this identity, it would have been difficult for her to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty, because this was an era where one's birth determines one's destiny.
Antiques must be endorsed by celebrities. If they are brought directly from the Tang Dynasty, they will not fetch sky-high prices.
Without the identity of her mother-in-law Xiao, she couldn't hold onto Xiao Chong's thigh at first.
Just like that day at Empress Xiao's flower viewing banquet, she only gave Lin Wanwan a small gift as a greeting gift. She didn't put any thought into it. She only wanted gold and jade, and that was enough.
The Xiao family that Lin Wanwan recognized, her maternal uncles and aunts were very worry-free and had a tacit understanding with her. They never pointed fingers at her as elders.
As Gu Jingyu's best friend, Lin Wanwan naturally wanted to fly back to Yongcheng to visit.
But I didn't expect that Aunt Xiao would be an exception, so unclear.
There are many people in the family and outside the family, and there are all kinds of birds. It’s not surprising, it’s the same in every family.
On the ninth night of her stay in the temple, which is already mid-May in modern times, Gu Jingyu's belly started working in advance, a week earlier than the expected date of delivery.
Without her biological son, she can only rely on her husband and stepson.
Because Lin Wanwan became the Holy Lady of the Heart Lamp in Buddhism and had to stay at Daxingshan Temple for nine days, she naturally couldn't go to the two times during which she asked for the pulse of Empress Changsun.
It was only because her children died one after another, which was a huge blow to her that she had no intention of socializing anymore, so she gradually became cold and unsociable.
In 2007, a string of Buddhist beads left by Emperor Gong Zhao of the Song Dynasty was sold at a London auction house for a sky-high price of more than 100 million.
So starting from this year, she began to resume daily communication.
It is impossible to simply cure Xiao Chong's illness and get some rewards at most. It is impossible to have a deeper relationship with Xiao Chong.
Now, as time has passed, she has gradually overcome the pain of losing her son. At the same time, she has to cheer up, otherwise her status will be lost.
As a wife of a wealthy family, the superficial skill of being good at dancing is a basic skill, and she is very proficient in it.
But now that she recognized the relationship, Lin Wanwan could only hold her nose and endure it.
In terms of obstetrics and gynecology, Lin Wanwan is quite good. She has delivered babies to several noble ladies in Chang'an these days.
The female doctor (female doctor) of the Palace Food Bureau does not have her medical skills. As a disciple of Mr. Sun, everyone still trusts her.
Speaking of Mr. Sun, she felt quite sorry for Mr. Sun, who had become the Holy Lady of the Heart Lamp in Buddhism and had to stay in the temple for nine days.
But she didn't expect that Mr. Sun didn't care at all and even gave her a medical book on his medical experience for her to study on her own.
As expected, the pattern of an old immortal like Mr. Sun, who has been famous for eternity, is different from that of ordinary people.
