Chapter 791: The Empress Temple will not be closed in the future
Chapter 791: It’s not like the Niangniang Temple will be closed in the future!
Watching Mrs. Zhou and her daughter-in-law go away, Qu Ran'er said to Chan'er: "Sister, you have heard it, the Empress Temple is the most effective. As long as we pray sincerely, the gods will definitely let us get our wish!"
"
Chan'er glanced at Qu Ran'er and found that her face was obviously excited, so she just said "hmm" lightly and said nothing else.
When Qu Ran'er got tired of carrying the bamboo basket with one hand, he switched to the other hand, then looked up at the temple door and said, "Sister, let's go in."
"Okay." After Chan'er responded, she continued to climb the steps with Qu Ran'er and walked towards the temple.
On the steps, there was an old woman who was walking forward with three steps, one bow, nine steps and one kowtow. When Qu Raner passed by this person with Chan'er on his arm, he couldn't help but secretly admire her piety.
However, if Qu Ran'er was to enter the temple with such prostrations, she would never be able to do it.
After walking past the old woman and leaving her behind, Qu Raner whispered: "Sister, what do you think the old woman came to beg for? It's so grand..."
Chan'er glanced at the old woman who was kowtowing again, then turned around and said, "Sister, let's just leave her alone..."
Qu Ran'er thinks about it, he should sort out his own affairs first.
After entering the Empress Temple, Chan'er admired the scenery inside the temple, but Qu Raner had no such intention and kept urging her to go to the temple where the Empress was sent.
Chan'er understood her cousin's mood, so they walked towards the Queen's Palace together.
There were so many people coming to the Empress Hall, and everyone was rushing to rush into the main hall. The order at the entrance of the hall seemed quite bad. Fortunately, several Taoists came to maintain order in and out of the hall, which stabilized the pilgrims.
Qu Ran'er and Chan'er were thin and weak. After being squeezed by the pilgrims, they still could not get close to the palace gate. In the end, the two sisters were almost squeezed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Chan'er quickly pulled her cousin aside to avoid the crowd.
"Chan'er, why did you take me out? I finally squeezed in a little bit..."
Qu Ran'er was very unhappy and looked anxious. As she spoke, she planned to go to the crowd again.
Chan'er pulled Qu Ran'er again, frowned and said: "Cousin, don't go, there are too many people here. If you are squeezed to the ground and stepped out again, it will be bad...
..”
Qu Ran'er thought the same thing, their strength was limited, and they would definitely suffer in the end if they squeezed around.
"What you said is correct, but you can't just watch it..." Qu Ran'er felt anxious.
Chan'er advised: "Cousin, it's better to wait, we are not in a hurry."
Qu Raner immediately said: "Urgent! Why aren't you in a hurry? I'm still in a hurry to go back after paying my respects to the empress. You don't know, just those stupid people, if you don't keep an eye on me, you will definitely make a mistake!"
After saying that, Qu Ran'er squeezed into the crowd again, but Chan'er didn't want to hold her back...
After a while, Qu Raner was squeezed out again, and this time it was even worse. Not only did she stagger greatly, but she even dropped the bamboo basket, and everything inside fell out.
Chan'er hurriedly ran over to help her cousin, and then the two of them began to pick up the fallen candles and ingots.
After picking up the things, Chan'er pulled Qu Ran'er further away and urged anxiously: "Cousin, don't go. If you are really injured, who will take care of the restaurant's business?"
This sentence still worked, and Qu Raner calmed down instantly: "Yes, sister, what you are reminding me is that I can't get hurt, I can't get hurt..."
So, the two of them stood under a big tree outside the temple, enjoying the shade while waiting for the number of pilgrims to decrease.
But after waiting for half an hour, the number of people outside the Queen's Palace did not decrease, but actually increased.
Seeing this, Qu Ran'er became more and more anxious. She fanned herself with a handkerchief and said irritably: "Look at these people, they are so good at joining in the fun. They don't come early or come late. They have to squeeze in."
This day, it seems as if it has been agreed upon... It’s not like the Empress Temple will not be opened in the future..."
When saying this, Qu Raner completely forgot one thing, that she was one of the people joining in the fun!
Chan'er hurriedly stopped her and said, "Cousin, don't say disrespectful words..."
Qu Raner's expression was dazed, and then she slapped her mouth and said: "Oh, look at my broken mouth, I'm talking nonsense again... Bah, bah, bah, don't blame me, don't blame me.
....."
In fact, Chan'er started to feel a little bored after waiting for such a long time, but she didn't act like Qu Ran'er and remained calm as usual.
At this moment, Chan'er saw a middle-aged Taoist squeeze out of the crowd at the entrance of the hall. He frowned and gritted his teeth, and walked towards the side of the Empress' Hall in a hurry.
Chan'er was startled, and hurriedly pulled Qu Ran'er to follow the Taoist: "Cousin, I have thought of a way, come with me..."
"What method?" Qu Ran'er's face was full of doubts, but he still kept up with Chan'er's pace.
The two girls followed the Taoist from a distance, and soon they saw the Taoist enter a small hut that looked like a hut. Qu Raner's face darkened, and he immediately pulled Chan'er to stop...
"Chan'er, what are you doing? Why are you following someone to the latrine?" Qu Ran'er complained.
Chan'er shook her head and said: "Cousin, listen to me. If I guessed correctly, this person should be the gatekeeper of the palace. Why don't we discuss it with him and see if we can find a way to bring us into the palace...
..”
"Ah!" Qu Raner understood immediately: "Sister, do you mean to give him some benefits?"
"Yeah!" Chan'er nodded.
Then, the two sisters discussed in the distance of the hut while waiting for the Taoist to come out.
After a cup of tea, the middle-aged Taoist finally came out of the hut, his face looking much more relaxed than before.
The young Taoist had just walked back for a while when Qu Ran'er and Chan'er blocked his way.
"Taoist Priest, please stay!" Qu Ran'er said with a smile.
The Taoist was stunned for a moment, and then asked politely: "You two, Shanfushou, what can I do?"
Shanfushou is the honorific title given by Taoists to pilgrims.
Qu Ran'er said: "Taoist Priest, we sisters have something to ask for. I hope Taoist Priest can be accommodating..."
After saying that, Qu Raner gave the middle-aged Taoist a piece of silver as big as the size of his thumb.
The middle-aged Taoist understood immediately when he saw the money given to him by the other party. He collected the money quietly and said politely: "You two benefactors, please tell me..."
Next, Qu Ran'er expressed her desire to enter the Queen's Palace as soon as possible.
"What's so difficult about this? This poor Taoist will lead the way for you two good people, good fortune and longevity..." The middle-aged Taoist was very happy. He didn't expect that he could actually make a little money when he came out to relieve himself in a hurry.
"Then I'm sorry to have to ask you, Taoist priest..." Qu Ran'er said politely.
Chan'er also said: "Taoist Master Daoxin..."
"You're welcome!"
After saying that, the middle-aged Taoist walked forward to lead the way, and the two sisters followed behind the middle-aged Taoist with a distance of ten feet.
Qu Ran'er happily held Chan'er's hand and praised her softly: "Sister, you are smarter..."
