MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 898 Xiangshan Temple Climb
“Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the surrounding temples are in full bloom. If you want to join in the fun, just go. I’ll stay at home and watch over you.”
Sure enough, when Li mentioned going out, his eyes lit up.
“Mother, aren’t you going? I heard that the temple’s vegetarian food is also very special, let’s go and try it together?”
"You young people, go ahead. I have old arms and legs and I don't want to move. If you want to have fun, just stay with Zhuangzhuang and I will watch."
Listening to her mother-in-law's suggestion, Mrs. Li looked at the second child and asked what he meant.
Bai Anyan turned to look at Xiao Wu.
The people on the street also put on new clothes and had smiles on their faces. After a busy year, the New Year is also their happiest and most leisurely time.

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and then spoke directly,
“We can go to Xiangshan Temple, where incense is very popular. Every year from the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, eminent monks will lecture on Buddhism. Many pilgrims like to go there to offer incense and pray for blessings. It is our first time to celebrate the New Year in Fucheng, so it is more appropriate to go to the temple to pray for blessings.”
If an official is good-looking and young and promising, it is not surprising that others have ideas in his mind.
If she takes the initiative to take a concubine for an official, she can gain a reputation of being generous and virtuous. If she doesn't take care of her well and lets a little hooves take the initiative to climb into bed, it will appear that she is jealous and intolerant.
When her mother mentioned this, she became angry and did not speak to her mother for a whole day. But she also knew in her heart that her mother was doing it for her own good.
“What if we get married? As long as Lord Zhizhou is willing, even if it’s a small one, there are many people who are eager to get married.”
The cold wind blew by, and the snow on the branches fell rustlingly.
Before Bai Yunxi could speak, Mrs. Li circled her arm and shook her.
“Mom, come with us. If you don’t go, we won’t find it interesting. Besides, it’s the Chinese New Year and we won’t be worried if you’re home alone.”
She seems to have told the children in her family a long time ago that their children should be monogamous and live a good life, and they are not allowed to take concubines without permission.
Hearing the discussion behind his back, Xiao Wu tightened his face, pursed his lips and stopped talking. On the other hand, the second child and little four next to him were very happy. Not only them, but also the people in the carriage were laughing.
Zhang Yishan quickly ordered people to prepare the carriage.
“Xiangshan Temple is located two miles outside the east city. It is very close and the mountain is not high. Mom can come with us to have a look. I heard that there is a patch of cold plum blossoms on the mountain behind the temple, which should be in bloom at this time.”
Baiyun Xi rubbed the hand stove and looked at the three people riding horses in front. Although they had big cloaks to protect them from the wind, they were still not too warm.
Baiyun River stands at the foot of the mountain, the smell of sandalwood fills the nostrils, the sky above Xiangshan Temple is filled with smoke, and the temple gate is solemn and solemn.
His fifth brother is an official, and climbing high means good things.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets are also very lively. Business people want to seize the opportunity of the New Year and make a lot of money.
It took a full two-quarters of an hour to get from home to the outside of the city.
“Oh my god, it’s a good idea to meet Mr. Zhizhou when I go out on the first day of the new year.”
Xiao Wu was riding on his horse, and the timid people stepped aside to avoid him when they saw Zhizhou. Those who are brave enough will bow their hands and directly greet the New Year.
Ha ha…
Since she was about to go out, Baiyunxi did not delay and asked Aunt Zhu to bring her a cloak to put on.
Looking around, the surroundings were white and foggy.
Li held Zhang Yishan's hand and winked at her.
But she had no idea of taking a concubine for an official. First, she couldn't accept it in her heart, and she also felt that the official was not a lecherous person.
There is a flat land under the corner of the mountain, with a few pine trees in the middle and a few carriages parked.
The three Xiaowu brothers rode alone, and they rode in a carriage. The whole family mobilized, two carriages, and three horses to go to the east city together.
Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty-four. One hundred and forty-six. Seventy-five
Therefore, the shops on both sides of the street are pasted with red Spring Festival couplets, hung with red lanterns, and open their doors to welcome customers.
Hearing Li’s teasing, Zhang Yishan’s face turned red.
“Second sister-in-law, what did you say?”
“It’s important to get rich by becoming an official, let alone, we know that Lord Zhizhou is young, promising and talented.”
This is also the biggest reason why she completely brought the boss back to his original form.
Looking at Li's coquettish look, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
“Forget it, let’s go together. It’s still early. Let’s set off now. As long as we can get back before dark.”
"What are you talking about? I already have two children. Even if I are willing, can I, Lord Zhizhou, be willing?"
On the streets, people were coming and going, including many vendors selling gadgets.
“Do you have something you like, fifth brother? As long as you have the intention to climb high, you don’t necessarily have to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.”
Chathouses and restaurants are also bustling with people, and friends gather together to talk and chat.
When he went out, Xiao Wu no longer tensed up and greeted everyone with a gentle expression.
As for the future direction, we have to wait and see, but in the next few years, officials will not have other ideas?
Hearing Zhang Yishan's thoughts, Bai Yunxi trembled at the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that his biological mother had instilled these thoughts into her daughter early on.
An hour later, the group of them reached the foot of the mountain.
As the head of the house, she is aware of the ten taboos of jealousy.
No wonder my mother-in-law smiled when she mentioned the second sister-in-law. Now she has seen it all.
She doesn't like concubines and concubines popping up in the house to disturb the peace of the family.
They have been living together for more than half a year. The official is not particularly obsessed with this aspect. All he thinks about is how smooth his official career will be.
Zhang Yishan looked at the interaction between her second sister-in-law and her mother-in-law and blinked. If she was asked to act like a baby in front of so many people, she really wouldn't be able to do it.
“Pfft, from what you’re saying, are you willing to go in and be a kid?”
Only after a man is forty years old and has nothing to do with anything can he take in concubines and continue the heirs. In addition, no one is allowed to have two wives.
“It’s a pity that Lord Zhizhou got married. Otherwise, the gate of Zhizhou Mansion would have been trampled down.”
Having said that, Xiao Wu turned towards Baiyun River.
Sure enough, as Xiaowu said, Xiangshan was built on the middle of a hillside. The mountain is not high. The bluestone steps going up the mountain have been cleaned very clean. Many pilgrims are climbing up the stairs.
The snow on the official road was not cleared, and the carriages creaked as they walked on it.
Before leaving the city, her mother also gave her some advice, saying that after she gave birth to her eldest son, she would take the initiative to take concubines for officials.
There are already horse-drawn carriages driving on the official road outside the city. They are all preparing to go to Xiangshan Temple to offer incense and climb high.
When you come to a place like this, you can't help but abandon those messy thoughts. The Buddhist pure land does have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind.
This kind of place is just like the excitement and surging mood she felt when watching the red flag rise in her time, with a heart of admiration.
“Mom, the steps are slippery. Let me help you go up.” Ms. Li came over and hugged her mother-in-law’s arm with a smile. (End of chapter)
