Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the blink of an eye, it was early November. It was another day off. Early in the morning, two carriages slowly drove out of the Duke’s Residence and headed for the Hidden Spirit Temple outside the city.
The Hidden Spirit Temple was one of the top monasteries in Great Xia. It was built against a mountain and occupied an extremely large area. Usually, there was an endless stream of devotees. On a big day like the 15th day of the New Year, it was even more lively.
The carriage could only travel halfway up the mountain. Further ahead, the mountain path was rugged. Carriages couldn’t enter, so they could only change to a sedan chair.
The coachman deftly set down the stairs.
Little Jiajia was the first to jump out of the carriage. Madam Li was helped down by Bi Zhu.
Today, Madam Xiao also brought Xiao Ruoshui along. Apart from her, Madam Li also arranged to meet Madam Shen. Coincidentally, the three carriages arrived at the same time and they went up the mountain together.
The sedan chair had been arranged a day ago. After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
She looked up at the mountain gate. It was carved from white jade and was right in the middle of the Hidden Spirit Temple’s three words.
How much was this worth?
She naturally came to the Hidden Spirit Temple to offer incense. Little Jiajia patiently followed everyone to pray to Buddha and went to the back to pray to the Guanyin. After paying the incense money, the novice monk led her to the room to rest.
It was so lively here. Little Jiajia expressed that she was not tired at all, nor did she want to rest.
As if seeing the restlessness in her heart, Madam Li reminded her, “There are many devotees today. Princess, you have to be careful. Be careful not to bump into anyone.”
Did this mean that she could play by herself?
Little Jiajia smiled, revealing her teeth. Her eyes curved. “I know.”
Xiao Ruoshui was very envious. “Mother… ”
Madam Xiao was a little worried.
“Auntie Xiao, I’ll definitely protect Sister Ruoshui.” Little Jiajia almost patted her chest and promised.
What else could Madam Xiao say? She could only nod in agreement.
“Go on then, come back early. We’ll have lunch later. We’ll go back after lunch.” Since they had come to the Hidden Spirit Temple, they naturally had to eat a vegetarian meal.
Little Jiajia and Xiao Ruoshui looked at each other and smiled. The two sisters left the room hand in hand. Madam Li instructed someone to follow and keep an eye on them.
Madam Shen’s gaze followed the two of them, and a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes. “If I had a daughter, she would be this old.”
After saying that, she thought of something and shook her head. “It’s good that you don’t have it. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to protect you.” Madam Li frowned and felt that there was something wrong with Madam Shen today.
Madam Shen seemed to sigh. Soon, a smile appeared on her face again. She looked at Madam Li and said seriously, “Madam, I want a divorce.” Madam Li was shocked.
Madam Shen walked up to her and slowly knelt down. “Please help me,
Madam.”
The Hidden Spirit Temple was indeed a large monastery. The further they went, the more people there were. Wherever there were people, there would be business opportunities. The abbot was easy to talk to and specially left a space for everyone to do business. Apart from the lack of meat, it was almost as big as a regular market.
Little Jiajia walked all the way.
She picked out some things that she could give to her husband. She kept talking about things that were good, and how her husband would definitely like it. Xiao Ruoshui’s ears were about to pop.
Just as she was about to complain, Little Jiajia pulled her to a stop in front of a clay figurine stall.
Yes, she wanted to make a small figurine and give her to her little husband.
“Hehe, when my husband arrives later, I’ll bring him over. At that time, I’ll get Uncle to make one of him.”
Fan Mingyuan was also on leave today. Song Jingchen said that he wanted to pick him up, so they didn’t go together.
Xiao Ruoshui was speechless.
“If you can’t defeat your enemies, then join them.”
Xiao Ruoshui waved her hand generously. “Boss, give me one too.” Meeting
Little Jiajia’s puzzled gaze, she said proudly, “I want to give it to Brother
Mingyuan.”
“When Brother Mingyuan arrives later, I’ll bring him along too.”
Little Jiajia laughed so hard that she almost couldn’t straighten her back.
Xiao Ruoshui felt uncomfortable from her laughter. She turned her head and vaguely saw a familiar figure. “Eh, isn’t that Xiao Qirui?”
“Your brother? Where is he?” Little Jiajia had heard Xiao Ruoshui mention this person, but she had never seen him before.
Xiao Ruoshui pointed in a direction, but the young man she had seen just now had long disappeared.
“Let’s go and look.” Xiao Ruoshui knew that her brother had gone out early in the morning, but she didn’t expect him to come to the Hidden Spirit Temple.
“What about the pottery man?” Little Jiajia was in a difficult position.
“Isn’t that simple?” Xiao Ruoshui was afraid that Xiao Qirui would be even more difficult to find if he walked far away, so she casually pointed at a maidservant. “Wait here. When the pottery man is done, take the clay figurines and return to the room. Also, tell my mother that I saw Xiao Qirui..”
