Monk Empress 11
When Ji Wan entered Longxi, it was already late. Because she was a new bride, she couldn't show up and rode a horse, so she gave up the horse and entered the carriage.
"Is my cousin better?"
Zhang Jin leaned against the carriage and nodded weakly. Her face was as pale as paper. Because of Ji Wan's concern and guilt for slowing down the journey, her face turned red, which was even more pitiful.
Zhang Jin: "Jin'er is not healthy and insists on coming to Longxi with her cousin, which makes her cousin miss the auspicious time."
Ji Wan patted her hands: "This is a small matter, and auspicious days are not necessarily one or two days. You don't have to blame yourself, relax your mind. Even if you don't say it, I was going to take you away. My mother is gone, and my place is where you live."
Zhang Jin was stunned. She knew that she was a dodder-like woman and could only live by lingering around others, so she practiced very well and looked at people's faces. She knew that this cousin, who was not close to her, had no resentment towards her. Think about it, if she got married and was misled by someone, she would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable. She judged others by herself, and admired her cousin's generousness. She was very sad when she thought about this. With her identity, she was alone, and there was no good family to marry.
"Stop the sedan."
Ji Wan heard Chu Xiong's voice, slightly opened the curtain, and heard the horse driving around and said, "Someone stopped the convoy in front."
He listened carefully for a while and said, "It's the son of Longxi Marquis, he's here to welcome the bride."
At this time, Ji Wan would be particularly angry that she could not practice martial arts. She could clearly hear the voice of her speech clearly, and it would be very strange if she could do it herself.
The two girls following Ji Wan pulled the curtain open, revealing the people in the car, and allowing the people in the car to see the outside at a glance.
Ji Wan looked at her husband, Ouyang Ming, who was walking. He was a man with an extremely ordinary appearance and had no special demeanor. He wore a brocade robe and was noble all over his body, with only a pair of pure eyes as a little white rabbit.
Ouyang Ming was also looking at the woman in the carriage. He hoped that his future wife would be a gentle and considerate girl with a beautiful appearance, and fortunately she would live up to what he expected. The woman with shy head down was really like a lotus, beautiful and fresh. He had few things in his life, and his soul was lost, and his whole heart was stuck to her.
"Ahem!!"
Chu Xiong frowned and coughed a few times, signaling him to look aside. In fact, Zhang Jin had already retreated to one side when Ji Wan entered the carriage, and it was clearly visible who was sitting in the main seat.
Ouyang Ming suddenly woke up in a dream, and finally realized that he had recognized the wrong person. He hurriedly looked at Ji Wan next to him. He was intimidated by her sharpness and turned his head slightly and did not dare to look directly.
It was only a moment, and he was so cowardly that he had no heroic nature. The people who accompanied Ji Wan were all dissatisfied with their eyes, and the atmosphere on both sides became solemn.
"What's wrong?"
Several people came on horseback, and the leading man had a long scar on his face. He was wearing red copper armor and was covered with □□ behind him. After asking, he smiled: "Did the two young couples meet each other?!"
‘Brush’ a sound of kneeling on the ground.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Ouyang Ming, who was a scholar, also knelt down, and his two trembled. The originally relaxed atmosphere became strange again because of his kneeling. Even a prince like Ouyang Yan was so angry that his veins were so angry that his veins rose up.
Ji Wan jumped out of the carriage: "A Wan said hello to the Marquis on behalf of her father!"
She waved her hand gently, and the two girls who served her behind her supported Ouyang Yan's anger and helped her new son-in-law up without changing her expression. Seeing that he had stood up, Ji Wan then bowed to the extremely famous "father-in-law" again: "My daughter-in-law pays homage to father-in-law."
As she knelt down, all the people accompanying her knelt down to salute Ouyang Yan, with a full gesture, also known that Ouyang Yan knew that this new daughter-in-law was extremely strict under the rule, and today Ouyang Ming's cowardice would never be heard from her.
Ouyang Yan's face was better.
This first meeting, which was not particularly harmonious, became the norm for the most noble three in Longxi to get along in the future.
***
There was a bunch of snacks in front of the monk, all of which were local snacks from Longxi. I heard that this was the very ordinary standard for the masters of the Hou Mansion to have a daily meal. Because the new lady had a poor appetite, she had to make the kitchen simpler, so she had to put on twenty or thirty things in a scattered manner.
“This is too luxurious!”
The monk never polite to Ji Wan, and has started to use it. For him, food is used to fill his stomach, and there is no difference between essence and quality. After he was 70% or 80% full, Ji Wan was dressed neatly. She is now married as a wife, so naturally she can no longer comb the girl's bun. The aunt who combed her hair today tied a woman's bun for her and simply wore a white jade hairpin.
The monk put down his chopsticks and no longer had appetite.
Ji Wan had just sat down, and Ouyang Ming came out. He kept lowering his head, as if his newlywed wife was so frightened that she would cry out loud. He looked at Ji Wan with trembling courage. He didn't even dare to say a question about the monk who sat on the table who was the first to sit on them.
"Madam, I'll go out first."
Ji Wan didn't raise her head, and then said, "Take some people together and be careful."
Ouyang Ming, however, nodded quickly as if he had heard the imperial edict, and he was like escaping from the dragon's pond and tiger's den, and he immediately left the yard.
After Ji Wan arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she chose another auspicious time and officially got married with Ouyang Ming. After the wedding that night, Ouyang Ming left because of military affairs and left the newlyweds in the Marquis' Mansion.
Monk: "...This husband is wronged you."
Even the monk who has always paid attention to the equality of all living beings said this, which shows how cowardly Ouyang Ming is. He is pure, but Pure, but Pure, is not like this. He has seen dirty things like this. He is dirty, and sees through the purity of the world. His purity is just because he has never seen dirty things. Just when he has been together, Ji Wan has discovered that Ouyang Ming doesn't care about everything. Ji Wan really can't like such simplicity. If he was born in an ordinary family, such a pure white as paper and a timid man as a rabbit may not be so! But he will inherit Longxi and manage the people in the future, which makes him a little disappointed.
In fact, Ouyang Ming is the most beneficial to her.
Ji Wan could not deny this, nor did she want to reveal her scheming to the monk, which would taint his eyes.
"I am lucky. In my life, if I can't marry someone I want to marry, then there is no difference between marrying anyone. Ouyang Ming is actually very good!"
When Ji Wan said this, she didn't go to see the monk. She gently stirred the porridge in the bowl, as if it was stirring her heart. However, she never thought about asking the monk to answer something. No matter what he answered, it was not a blessing for her.
Ji Wan finally smiled: "Are you here to say goodbye, right? You are not allowed to leave, you have something to do for you."
Leyuan: "What's the matter?"
Ji Wan knew that what she asked him for at this time, and the monk would not refuse, but therefore she did not want to make things difficult for him: "The people in Longxi are tough and have a hard life, and the people are not educated. Give me two years, and I will make this barren land look rich first... Stay here! With two years, tell the world your Buddha."
The sun shone on the woman, making her shine brightly. For the first time, Leyuan touched the way to see people who were watching the air. He seemed to see a golden dragon soaring into the sky from the girl and flying into the sky above Longxi. The image soon disappeared again.
The monk who was compassionate and compassionate with the eyes red. He seemed to have seen the girl's life ups and downs in this moment, so he couldn't suppress her emotions. For the first time, this monk who cultivated his mind bent down to a mortal outside the Buddha.
"I accept the order."
Ji Wan was panicked and her planners were all dispersed: "Ah! If you don't have the original intention, I won't be able to do it in Dunhuang, and I'm afraid you will be hurt if you move forward recklessly. It's only two years, wait a minute! Since you are practicing Buddhism, there is no place to practice."
Leyuan laughed: "I said before---you are born with Buddha's mind and Buddha nature, and it would be a pity not to practice Buddha."
Ji Wan: "Let me go! Why bother with vegetables and tofu for this whole life?"
This is the strangest thing about Leyuan, this girl! She clearly has no faith, but she can understand him and understand him, which is even more amazing than his master.

When Ji Wan found Zhang Jin, she was reconciling accounts in the study.
"cousin!"
She stood up and bowed to Ji Wan. Ji Wan pulled her, and then she realized that the white wrist in her palm was extremely delicate, which was in sharp contrast with her dark and rough hands.
Ji Wan quickly let her go and smiled, "I have been with those big guys recently, and I'm so rough that I don't care about you, right?"
Zhang Jin: "It didn't hurt, I thanked my cousin outside."
She said it sincerely. A year and a half ago, she came to Longxi with Ji Wan with great anxiety, and could not even guess what kind of days will be waiting for her in the future. Unexpectedly, the sentence on the carriage that day - where I am, your place of residence, was realized without any mistakes.
She was in the Marquis's Mansion, and even Ouyang Yan was treated with courtesy. All of this was the decent that Ji Wan had earned for her. No one could say that her cousin was not as beautiful as her daughter, and she could not.
Ji Wan didn't have much time to chat with Zhang Jin, and said straight to the point: "Ouyang Ming has been obsessed with you for a year and a half, but I don't see you unintentionally at him."
Zhang Jin's face was flying, and he was panicked: "It's not... cousin..."
Ji Wan: "Don't panic, be honest. I know that you are in love and benevolent when you treat Ouyang Ming. But love cannot help you... I ask you now, if you follow him, you will never be a good wife in your life and will be criticized, are you willing to do it? If you think about it, be honest, you can marry a man with a phoenix crown and a robe and openly."
Ouyang Ming was so timid that he was brave just for Zhang Jin and dared to kneel in front of her and beg her. Ji Wan had nothing to say.
Ji Wan: "You know, Ouyang Ming and I are just nominal couples."
Zhang Jin pondered for a moment before he said firmly: "I do."
"Silly girl," Ji Wan sighed: "You can't give me the eight-carrying sedan chair, but my cousin guarantees that you are the only one in this life."
Zhang Jin finally cried in her arms.
