Chapter 168 Going out to burn incense

It is September and the comfortable autumn season is coming to an end.

The prosperity of the streets and alleys of Bianjing City has never been reduced in half, and there are more than three months left before the end of the year. However, in order to be peaceful and stable at the end of the year, all government offices have gradually become busy, repairing waterways, river embankments and leveling the roads of Yujie Street, etc. The Heiyu Guards must operate up and down, and the inspections of the three religions and all walks of life have gradually become strict to ensure the stability and peace of Bianjing.

As the governor of Diankui, Cao Hua has basically never been to work since he was injured on the Dragon Boat Festival. He should be reinstated normally after resting for so long. Although there is no difference between going to work and being at home, he always lacks the freedom to go out and wander. Chen Jingliu was infected with the cold and had just recovered from the wind and cold and was bored in the house for too long, so he took her out of the city to relax the day before he was reinstated.

On the third day of September, the wind is bright and sunny.

In the early morning, Cao Hua asked Liu Laosi to find a carriage, and then carried the carriage alone to the entrance of Shiquan Lane to wait.

Chen Jingliu spent a long time in the yard. He didn't have to think about it and knew that he was dressing up. However, after he came out, he still had light makeup and put on a popular droop bun, which looked clean and unrestrained.

The only thing that is bad about is the bamboo basket that contains fruit and snacks. She has a pretty figure with narrow shoulders and round hips. From a distance, she looks like a little woman who is delivering food to her husband.

Seeing Cao Hua leaning on the carriage casually, and the folding fan swayed his beard and blew it up, Chen Jingliu's eyes were slightly annoyed: "Cao Hua, you took off your beard. You were originally handsome, you had to dress up so weird."

Cao Hua went out of the city to burn incense today and might meet an acquaintance. He turned his head and chuckled: "Miss Chen, are you responsible for scaring people to death?"

Chen Jingliu thought about it, so he could only put it in one go, stretched out his hand and pulled it into the carriage, and sat inside.

In the alley, two old servants looked at each other from a distance, their eyes mixed, and they didn't know what to think about.

Cao Hua raised his hand and greeted him, then "driven" and galloped out of the city.

Baota Temple is located on Qincheng Mountain outside the city. It is said that seeking children to eliminate disasters is very effective. The wives of the princes and wives of the inner city often come to burn incense. Even the empress in the palace has been there several times.

The weather is good today, and many people come to burn incense. The temple fair at the foot of the mountain is already crowded with carriages and horses. There are also peasant women from surrounding villages pulling children up the stone stairs. There are also many scholars meeting the ladies of the family and going to the temple to seek marriage.

Cao Hua does not believe in Buddhism, but the businessman will always be able to worship whom. He will worship the God of Wealth and nothing will fall out of flesh. Moreover, the scenery of Qincheng Mountain is very good, with red maples like morning glows, and you can see them from afar.

The distance is quite long, and it is already noon to reach the foot of Qincheng Mountain.

Chen Jingliu ran out with a man to burn incense for the first time, but she was a little disgusted at this time. In the past, she had heard that scholars secretly went out for private meetings at the Beijing poetry meeting, and most of them came to places like temple fairs. The secret words in the boudoir sounded good, but if you really put them on yourself, with her conservative personality, I was naturally embarrassed.

Following Cao Hua in the scholar's robe, Chen Jingliu looked around and saw him occasionally when he met a familiar figure and immediately lowered his head and used Cao Hua's body to block himself, for fear of being recognized.

From a distance, it is no different from ordinary scholars. The man is too timid, with a big beard and a folding fan with a stylist. He looks like he is not a good person. The woman is much more well-behaved, has a nice face, and is gentle. At first glance, she is a scholarly lady, and she doesn't know how she was a kidnapped.

Cao Hua naturally pretended that he hadn't seen the eyes of pedestrians on the road and walked straight toward the hillside. Hundreds of stone stairs were like walking on flat ground for him, but Chen Jingliu was indeed a little embarrassed. He had to rest after walking for a while. After climbing for a hundred steps, he was panting and covered with fine sweat on his forehead.

Cao Hua wanted to hold her, but Chen Jingliu was so embarrassed that she just carried her skirt and walked slowly.

When I arrived at the Pagoda Temple, I blew incense sticks in front of the Buddha. It was empty and quiet, with only a few bells.

Chen Jingliu knelt seriously on the Tutuan, holding the incense in his hand, touching and mumbling with his eyes closed, listening with his ears in his ears, and actually saying, "Cao Hua kills people like numb, Buddha, don't blame him."

Cao Hua found it funny, but didn't say anything, just stood behind her and waited for her to finish the incense.

-----

It was sunny today, and there were many princes and ladies coming to burn incense. In the bustling crowd outside the temple, a woman dressed in a nanny stood next to the pagoda with two maids, frowned and looked at the man standing in the temple seriously.

"Madam Hu, it seems...it's like Prince Cao."

The maid looked at it carefully for a few seconds and said uncertainly.

The princess just got married and had a son early was King Kang's expectation. Regardless of the fact that she came to burn incense, the princess naturally had no intention of this. The nanny Hu Lan is the princess's nanny. The princess has had her worries these days and has been sleeping in separate rooms with the princess. She was naturally anxious. Taking advantage of the good day today, she took two maids to burn incense and worship Buddha, which was enough to do her best.

Hu Lan has been working in the royal palace since she was a child, and her eyes were extremely vicious. When she was at the foot of the mountain, she saw a familiar figure walking on the stone path from afar, taking care of the woman next to her from time to time. She turned her head several times, and her beard couldn't see clearly, so she looked here carefully.

Hearing the maid's words, Hu Lan frowned: "Whose family is that lady?"

The maid looked at her for a few times and shook her head: "I don't know her, but she doesn't look like the daughter of a prince, but she looks good. Could it be that Prince Cao is outside..."

Hu Lan was silent for a little: "The prince-consor Cao has a high position and is very powerful, so there must be many foxes who cling to him... I will write down the appearance of the woman and go back to find out whose lady it is. She doesn't understand the rules so much..."

"yes."

The maid nodded. After all, Hu Lan did not dare to face it, so she could only take the maid away first.

--------

After raising the incense, I came out of the Pagoda Temple.

Chen Jingliu looked around, but didn't know what to do when she came out, so she just followed Cao Hua.

"Jingliu, did you bring what you brought?"

"Take it."

Chen Jingliu walked in front of Cao Hua and lifted the small bamboo basket on his arm: "A pot of wine, snacks, handkerchiefs... But what should we do with a blanket?"

Cao Hua turned his head and chuckled: "Picnic."

"Picnic..." Chen Jingliu seemed to understand, and noticed that Cao Zhe's eyes were a little bit suspicious.

However, the world is bright and bright, and under the eyes of the Bodhisattva, I can't do anything to her.

So, the beautiful and charming lady of the official family followed a notorious devil and walked along the path to the deserted top of the mountain.

The mountain roads are full of maple leaves. Chen Jingliu walked carefully with her skirt. After all, the mountain road is rugged and it is a bit difficult to walk.

Realizing that he had left the temple and there were fewer and fewer tourists around him, Chen Jingliu looked around and said, "Cao Hua, I...where are we going?"

“Sun at the top of the mountain.”

“That’s right…”

Chen Jing frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked at it. The top of the mountain was still far away. He was already weak and could not walk at this time.

However, she is naturally tough and will not complain in front of her lover. She pursed her lips and continued to walk.

As soon as I took a few steps, my body suddenly became lighter and someone was carrying it.

"ah--"

Chen Jingliu almost threw out the bamboo basket in her hand. She was carried away by her elders when she was only four or five years old. She hadn't experienced it for many years. Chen Jingliu's face turned red and shouldn't be too close. Her heart was like a deer bumping around. She only felt like Cao Hua's hands were thorns and her entire legs were numb.

"What should I do if you let me go down quickly?"

"Hold it!"

Cao Hua responded calmly, then hugged the woman's legs and walked quickly towards the top of the mountain.

Chen Jingliu had no time to stand by, and saw that he was walking very fast, he could only hold the man's neck to avoid falling.

She secretly looked back and took a look.

Fortunately, there is no one around, and no one will see it.
