When Xiao Jialan and Mu Xuechu left the house, they saw a carriage parked outside, and standing in front of the carriage was a young man with a plain appearance, wearing a blue shirt like a scholar.
Seeing Mu Yunchu come out, the man hurriedly came over and said, "Sister."
"Second brother."
Mu Xuechu called out and asked: "Isn't the second brother studying in Liuzhou? Why are you back?"
Mu Zongping said: "I heard about my eldest brother, and I was so anxious that I rushed back overnight. When I got back to the house, I found that there was no one at home. Later, I asked the housekeeper and found out that you, sister, are in the Duke's house."
Mu Xuechu frowned and said, "Isn't mother at home?"
Mu Zongping said: "I heard from the housekeeper that my mother went to Xinglong Temple outside the city to pray for my eldest brother. I am planning to pick my mother back. Do you want my sister to go with me?"
You also know my mother's temper. If I go to pick her up, she may not be willing to listen to me."
Mu Xuechu was worried, fearing that her mother would go to Xinglong Temple to seek peace of mind because she was worried about her eldest brother. However, in order to prevent her from worrying, her mother did not tell her.
She turned to Xiao Jialan and said, "Sister Jialan, I'm going to pick up my mother. You go back first."
Xiao Jialan was worried, so she said, "Let me go with you. I have nothing to do, and I can still talk to you on the way."
Mu Xuechu was naturally willing. She thanked her and then said, "Would you like to tell His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Jialan said: "No, he is very busy, we'd better not disturb him."
As he said that, he pulled Mu Xuechu and got on the carriage. Mu Zongping was a man of etiquette. When he saw Xiao Jialan following him, he did not get on the carriage and sat outside.
The carriage left the capital and headed towards Xinglong Temple. Although Xinglong Temple was not the largest temple in the capital, it was the one with the most effective incense.
It is also a place where Mrs. Mu often comes.
After walking for about half an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of Xinglong Temple.
Xiao Jialan and Mu Xuechu got out of the car and entered the temple. They saw that there were not many pilgrims today.
Mu Yunchu walked towards the direction of the main hall, and bumped into a man who was walking out of it. The book fell to the floor.
The man subconsciously reached out to support her and asked: "Girl, are you okay?"
Mu Xuechu heard the man's voice very pleasantly. She looked up and saw the man's handsome face, but his clothes were a little shabby.
But there was a smell of ink. She shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Then she entered the main hall and looked around, but her mother was not there.
Xiao Jialan stood outside the hall, watching the man picking up books on the ground, and walked over to help him pick them up and said, "I'm sorry, my sister was looking for someone to bump into the young master."
The man smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, thank you girl."
Seeing that these were all scriptures, Xiao Jialan couldn't help but curiously asked: "What do you do with so many scriptures?"
The man said: "Xinglong Temple will prepare copied scriptures for pilgrims to burn.
You can earn ten pieces of silver by copying a book of scriptures. I have no other merits and can only earn a living by copying scriptures."
When Xiao Jialan heard this, he took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Young master, please help me make a copy."
"this......"
The man looked at the silver in Xiao Jialan's hand and said, "The girl gave me too much."
Xiao Jialan put the silver into his hand and said: "For the rest, please send me a letter."
Just as he was talking, Mu Xuechu walked out of the hall and said, "Sister Jialan, my mother is not in the hall."
Mu Zongping said: "Why don't we find a master and ask."
So, they found a passing monk and asked about Mrs. Mu's whereabouts.
The monk said: "The lady is worshiping Buddha in the wing in the backyard. Let me bring some donors there."
