Chapter 437 Discussion
Guo Xiong seemed not to recognize Xie Chengrang, and glanced at him casually, and asked the hired workers around him to move the things directly to the temple.
"Everyone is this Buddhist porcelain sent by my wife to the temple. Please give me some convenience."
The temple entrance was filled with people, and when he heard Guo Xiong's words, he made a way out.
"This is the one that made the relic box."
"Nancheng Wharf is now full of his shops."
Mrs. Zhou had no time to listen to those discussions. Seeing Guo Xiong and others entering the temple before them, she frowned slightly and was a little unhappy.
"This new chairman really doesn't understand the rules." Seeing Mrs. Zhou's expression, the female family in Taichang Temple next to her spoke.
"Even if the Buddha appears, he will only come by her relic box. After all, it is not because of them, but because of our Daliang Holy Lord, we have such a situation."
Mrs. Zhou nodded casually, but in her heart she called the female relative a fool. It sounded like suppressing Xie. In fact, she raised Xie's relic box, and then a small thing became a thing that showed the wiseness of the official family. Just because the Buddha came to the relic box, this reputation would be spread, at least for a few years.
Only after Guo Xiong and others left, the Xie family members were able to move forward.
After being stopped like this, Mrs. Zhou was completely distracted from her interest in the Dharma Assembly. She immediately ordered Xie Chengxin: "Let's go to the meditation room to rest, and then come out to take a look after the relic box is worshipped."
Xie Chengxin responded.
Xie Wenjing looked around and saw that there were more people coming today than usual.
"It's not all for seeing the relic box," Xie Chengxin said. "I think there are many scholars, who should pray for blessings in order to save the exam."
As soon as Xie Chengxin finished speaking, he heard a scholar dressed up as saying, "It's what I said about Daming Mansion Xie, the Taboo of Daming Mansion, which was engraved by her bookstore."
"Why did I hear that the bookstore is not hers, she only gave some money."
"That's all the news from the past. The Yang family came forward a while ago and bought the bookstore. After a while, Liu Erlang from Daming Mansion came over. If you don't believe it, please ask him."
Xie Chengxin immediately showed a little embarrassed and wanted to speak, but Mrs. Zhou said lightly: "Let's go, it's very noisy here."
The group arrived at the meditation room behind and found that there were already many people gathering there.
Seeing Mrs. Zhou, the female relatives came forward to salute, and Mrs. Zhou's mood gradually improved a little.
She is the wife of a first-class official. Wherever she goes, she needs to support the moon. Otherwise, what is the use of her official position that her master is fighting for outside?
A husband is noble and a wife is honorable, and a woman still depends on her husband. Even if there are female households in this dynasty, those widows who are helpless and helpless wives who can get their parents' property when they are married to their daughters, and there are very few property. How many people can actually get it? Isn’t it that it depends on the expressions of the elders and brothers in the mother’s family?
Unless, I don’t want my mother’s family to stand up for her again.
From this we can see that not only the Yang family is a shameful merchant, but the Xie family is not from any good family.
The women sat down and the servants served and drank tea.
Xie Chengxin and Xie Chengrang also went to the pavilion in front and sat temporarily.
Mrs. Guo from Taichang Cheng's family came over again and personally helped Mrs. Zhou.
After a while, the women started talking again, but obviously because Mrs. Zhou was much more restrained.
Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the Privy Council, has always been a versatile person. No matter where she goes, she heard the most news. Seeing that Mrs. Zhou still didn't know what was happening in the temple, Mrs. Zhang picked up some.
"The Shen family is here all these seven days, and the old lady is here at such an old age."
When Mrs. Guo heard this, she sighed: "It's no wonder that this is true for the two children in the family."
Mrs. Zhang continued, "Before you came, Mrs. Xie arrived. Mrs. Gao went to greet her in person." Mrs. Zhou raised her eyes.
No matter what, Mrs. Gao is also the sister of the Concubine, and the mother of Concubine De can actually give such a big face.
The ladies were also surprised.
Mrs. Guo couldn't help asking, "What about Mrs. Xie? Is it really only at the age of seventeen or eighteen?"
"I heard that's it," said Mrs. Zhang, "I just took a look from a distance and didn't come forward to speak. Besides, she was wearing a mili and couldn't see her face."
Mrs. Guo said, "The merchants have good fortune, so they have made the Shen family bear the favor."
A Hu lady said, "The Shen family wants to build a small temple for Si Niang. After using the shop that Mrs. Xie rented, she should have given a lot of money. Mrs. Xie took the money and chose a perfume repair shop. The new shop is much larger than the one outside Yunqi Temple."
As soon as he said this, the ladies present showed some envy.
Madam Hu smiled and said, "In my opinion, Madam Xie is also widowed. It would be better to take this opportunity to find a scholar who failed the exam in the capital and remarry it, and support the scholar in the future. He may not be able to become the wife of an official family in the future."
Mrs. Zhang shook her head quickly: "Her husband has just passed away and is still in filial piety. How can she remarry now? Besides, how can scholars like her?"
Madam Hu said, "Where do you pay attention to these things in the merchant family? Otherwise, a woman would not be the leader. Scholars may not be unwilling to do so. Over the years...the promotion of new ones..."
Madam Hu almost said the new method, but felt it was inappropriate and immediately changed her words: "Many merchants with some money in their hands marry their daughters to scholars. Many scholars failed repeatedly and used up their wealth. If they didn't find such a marriage, they would be difficult to sustain. As long as they didn't look at family background and age, there would always be a suitable one."
Mrs. Hu was speaking at a high point, and someone immediately coughed.
The ladies then raised their heads, and the person who was warning had already stood up and saluted.
Mrs. Zhou also looked over and saw that the ceremonials and classics in Cining Palace were led to another meditation room by monks.
Xie Wenjing often went to the palace to pay homage, the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and naturally became familiar with the people around the Empress Dowager. In the past, the emcee would say a few more words to her when she got the chance.
Xie Wenjing was about to step forward, and the emcee bowed to everyone and said, "Today, we still have official duties, so we won't have tea with the ladies."
Xie Wenjing watched the emcee and divine walk away and clenched the handkerchief slightly. If she was the princess of the county, the two female officials would at least come over to salute.
Mrs. Zhou sat down again, and the ladies also sat down one after another, but everyone's faces were different.
"Is Cining Palace here for the Shen family?"
"Or it's for the relic box. Some people say that the Shen family wants to pay silver and build pagodas in the temple and use them to worship relic boxes in the future. Eighty-most of the empress dowager ordered people to discuss the matter."
Building a pagoda in the name of Cining Palace is always more pompous than the Shen family.
After everyone talked for a while, a novice monk came to ask: "I will worship the relic box. If a good person wants to watch, please go to the front hall."
Finally, the time came, Mrs. Zhou stood up and asked Xie Wenjing to support her and walk towards the front hall first.
The front hall was also bustling. There were several men in official uniforms standing beside Monk Zhiyuan, and the envoys of Xixia were among them. He looked forward from time to time, obviously waiting to see the relics box.
"The court has sent the plaque."
Someone in the crowd shouted, and Xie Chengrang also looked over and saw Wang Yan wearing a scarlet official robe coming slowly.
In that chapter, I will reveal my true face
