Two days later, it was an early morning with calm wind and sunny weather and a clear sky.
Qu Ran'er had arranged things in the restaurant yesterday, and Chan'er took a hired carriage to the Empress Temple outside the city early in the morning.
In the car, Qu Raner kept talking while looking at the street scene outside the window. The content was nothing more than that there was a new shop on this street that she had never seen before, and whose facade had been re-decorated, or maybe
I suddenly saw an acquaintance, and then started talking about trivial matters in other people's homes...
Anyone can see that Qu Raner was in a very good mood when she went out today, and it would be no exaggeration to say she was excited.
Chan'er, who was sitting opposite Qu Ran'er, seemed very depressed. She heard everything her cousin said, but she couldn't find the interest to participate. She only occasionally echoed a few words and nodded "0" twice.
.
Qu Ran'er naturally sensed that Chan'er was not in a high mood, so he stopped irrelevant topics, sat next to Chan'er, took her hand and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what's wrong with you today? Are you Lang?"
Have I made you unhappy these past two days?"
In the past two days, Bai Yucheng has been staying in Chan'er's room. This is a little bit of Qu Ran'er's fault. After all, they had agreed that sisters would serve the same husband together. If Bai Yucheng was always occupied by himself, Bai Yucheng's body would not be able to bear it.
Chan'er will also feel uncomfortable. If she gets upset and refuses to go to the Empress Temple, Qu Ran'er won't be able to go alone!
Chan'er smiled, and it could be seen that the smile was a bit forced, and then shook her head and said: "No, cousin, my husband did not make me unhappy, it was me...it was my own fault...
"
"Yourself? What's wrong?" Qu Ran'er's face was full of concern and she came closer.
Chan'er hesitated for a while, and finally told the reason: "Cousin, I...my period is here..."
"Hey! I thought something made you..."
Qu Ran'er stopped suddenly in the middle of her words, and then said apologetically: "Sister, I...I didn't mean that, I just didn't...just react...
......."
When a woman has her period, it means one thing: she is definitely not pregnant.
Although it had not been long since Chan'er started taking medicine to regulate her body, she still felt depressed the moment she found out she was having her period.
"It's okay, cousin..." Chan'er lowered her head, shook her head, and said, "Even if I can't give birth to a child for my husband, I still have you, cousin..."
"Shh! Shh..." Qu Ran'er was startled and quickly put her finger on her lips to signal Chan'er to be silent.
Chan'er was also startled by Qu Ran'er and immediately became silent.
Qu Raner turned around and opened the curtain in front of the car a little, and secretly observed the driver through the gap. She felt more at ease when she saw that there was nothing strange about him.
Then, Qu Raner sat back down next to Chan'er with a false alarm, and whispered: "Auntie, can you please speak more quietly? What will happen if people hear you?"
Chan'er looked at Qu Ran'er in surprise, and whispered: "Cousin, people will always know about your husband and you, and they will eventually know it!"
"Yes, I didn't say not to let people know..." Qu Ran'er frowned and said with concern in her heart: "It's just my sister, I...I'm not
Are you not ready yet? Can you please allow me to wait a little longer? When the time comes, I will definitely not hide it anymore and let everyone know about our affairs, okay?"
Chan'er said seriously: "Cousin, you just have to be aware of this matter! I'm mainly worried that others will see it if this goes on for a long time. Then gossip will always be detrimental to my husband. You said Mr. An Huai and my husband
How should his colleagues treat him?"
"Yes, yes, sister, what you said makes sense! No matter what, Lang Jun's reputation must not be damaged!" Qu Ran'er kept nodding.
Chan'er saw that she had finished talking, so she stopped talking in time, and the carriage became quiet again.
............
The Niangniang Temple outside the city is far away from Ganquan County. If the road is clear, it can be reached by horse-drawn carriage in half an hour.
Perhaps because the weather had just cleared up, there were a lot of people and cars going to the Empress Temple today. Soon after leaving the city, Qu Ran'er and Chan'er's carriage was blocked on the road.
As a result, the half-hour drive suddenly turned into more than an hour. When we arrived near the Empress Temple, there was only an hour left before noon.
Qu Raner got out of the car while complaining. She originally wanted to rush back to the restaurant before noon to greet business, but now it seems that she is in trouble!
However, Chan'er's mood was much more peaceful. She stepped forward and advised: "Cousin, since this has already happened, you should stop complaining. If the ladies hear this, they will think that we are not sincere."
Qu Ran'er was shocked, and quickly turned around towards the direction of the Empress Temple, clasping her hands together, bowing and apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ladies, don't blame me, don't blame me..."
After praying, Qu Raner quickly gathered her mood and turned back to take out a bamboo basket from the car. The bamboo basket contained candles and Buddhist incense prepared early in the morning, as well as some folded paper ingots.
These paper ingots were folded by Qu Ran'er one by one when she had nothing to do at night. The purpose was to show her great piety and importance.
Qu Ran'er told the coachman to wait outside the temple, and then walked towards the temple with Chan'er holding the bamboo basket.
Walking among the people offering incense, Qu Ran'er was a little nervous, so he said to Chan'er: "Sister, I haven't been to the Empress Temple for a long time, and I don't remember any rules..."
In fact, Qu Raner had never been to the Empress Temple at all.
Chan'er looked in the direction of the temple door and replied calmly: "Cousin, actually the rules are not as important as you think. The most important thing is sincerity. As the saying goes, sincerity leads to success!"
"That's right, sister, you are so right... A sincere heart will work, but an insincere heart will not work!" Qu Ran'er agreed.
As soon as the two of them walked up the steps at the entrance of the temple, a middle-aged woman came face to face. Next to the middle-aged woman was a woman of seventeen or eighteen years old. Judging from the woman's bun and attire, she had already
She is married as a woman.
"Hey, isn't this shopkeeper Qu!" The middle-aged woman waved her hand and called to Qu Ran'er.
When Qu Raner saw that the person was actually a customer in the store, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, it's Mrs. Zhou. Why are you here too? What a coincidence!"
Mrs. Zhou glanced at the woman next to her and said, "The weather is nice today, so I will bring my daughter-in-law to pay my respects, so that I can ask your empress to bless our Zhou family with many children and good fortune!"
As soon as these words came out, Qu Ran'er was naturally indispensable for compliments. After all, Mr. Zhou was a good person and often took care of the business of Qu's restaurant.
Then, Mrs. Zhou suddenly asked half-jokingly: "Shopkeeper Qu, shouldn't you go worship the God of Wealth to ensure a prosperous business? Why are you here at the Empress Temple?"
At this moment, Qu Raner was thankful from the bottom of her heart that she was so foresight...
"Mrs. Zhou, look at what you said. Didn't I come with my sister? He and her husband have been in love for many years, and now they are just one child away!" Qu Ran'er said while holding Chan'er's elbow.
Chan'er didn't know Mrs. Zhou, so she nodded politely.
Mrs. Zhou believed it to be true and told Chan'er familiarly about the Empress Temple. She exaggeratedly said how effective it was to send children to the Empress. Before leaving, she told Chan'er not to be stingy about paying for the sesame oil, otherwise the Empress would die.
