A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 714: Meet at Xiangguo Temple

Baozhu walked forward obediently and stared curiously at the pile of things that girls liked on the table.

Song Ning casually picked up a box of perfume and opened it, then put it under the little girl's nose and asked, "Does it smell good?"

Baozhu nodded: "Hmm! It smells so good!"

Then, Song Ning scooped a little ointment with his fingers and spread it evenly on his palm, then applied it to Baozhu's face, which was dry and red from the cold.

"Look at your face, it's so cold that it's almost cracked. Apply a little on your face and hands every night before you go to bed, and your skin won't be so dry."

After wiping her face, Song Ning wiped her hands. Although she was so young, her hands were extremely rough. The palms were full of calluses, and some of her fingers were cracked from the cold.

After applying ointment to Baozhu's hands, Song Ning closed the box of ointment and stuffed it into her hands.

"This is yours, take it, and remember to apply it on your skin when it gets dry."

"Thank you ma'am."

There is no girl who doesn't love beauty. Although Baozhu is young, she can't resist it.

Who wouldn’t like to make yourself smell nice and your face and hands look soft and tender?

Baozhu held the ointment in her pocket and sniffed her hands from time to time. She walked back happily, stretched her hands in front of her mother and said, "Mom, it smells so good. Smell it."

Zhang cooperated and smelled it. It was indeed fragrant. The other girls also came over to smell it.

"Okay, stop standing there and wonder, come over and pick one each!"

Song Ning spoke again, and the girls no longer cared about being reserved and rushed forward to choose.

After bringing these ointments back, Song Ning asked Qingshuang to check them one by one. There was nothing wrong with the raw materials and they were basically harmless. However, the usage experience was much worse than those they had developed themselves, and was not even as good as the cheapest original product in Mei's rouge shop.

For Song Ning, who had eaten fine food before, this rough stuff certainly was not something she would look down upon. But for the women and girls in the mansion, it was a rare thing!

So, after each of them picked out the ointment and expressed their gratitude, they gathered together to admire it.

The girls received rewards, which made the servants very envious. They all looked at Song Ning eagerly.

Song Ning joked: "These are things that girls like. If you like them, you can come and pick them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of booing from the servants.

"That's just a woman's stuff. We old men don't use that stuff."

A joke immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Uncle Hong just glared at the boy who was talking, "How can you be so disrespectful when talking to the Madam?"

Upon hearing this, the servant apologized quickly: "I am sorry for my bad mouth, madam, please forgive me." After saying this, he slapped himself on the mouth twice.

Song Ning waved his hand and said, "Alright, no problem. I've rewarded the girls today, so I can't leave you out. I'll reward you with a few jars of good wine later. After you finish your work, go to the kitchen and have a meal."

Men! That's just their hobby, drinking a few sips when they have nothing to do, so she can be considered to be catering to his preferences.

As expected, when the servants heard that there was wine to drink, they immediately became happy and thanked Song Ning one after another.

Song Ning was in a good mood, so he gave instructions to Aunt Zhang and Zhang, who were in charge of the kitchen.

"I'm very happy today. I'll cook a few more delicious dishes in the kitchen tonight to reward everyone."

"Yes, ma'am."

There were many surprises throughout the day. Everyone received their rewards and went back to their work happily.

As soon as the people here dispersed, Zhou Ru came. The servants in the mansion recognized Zhou Ru and knew that she and the lady had a close relationship like a sister, so they led her directly to the main courtyard.

"Sister Song, I heard that the red plum blossoms at Xiangguo Temple outside the city have bloomed. Let's go and look for them in the snow!"

As soon as Zhou Rucai saw Song Ning, she excitedly told her the news she knew.

"Sister Song, you don't know that the red plum blossoms in Xiangguo Temple are the most beautiful in the whole capital. Every year at this time of year, many people will rush to Xiangguo Temple just to see the beauty of the red plum blossoms."

"Also, the fortune sticks at Xiangguo Temple are very effective. Many people go there to ask for fortune sticks. Let's go too! Let's go see the plum blossoms and get a lucky charm to bless our family with safety and well-being."

Song Ning didn't really believe in whether fortune telling was effective or not. She thought it was just a kind of spiritual comfort for people.

In her previous life, she had rarely been to those popular holy places. Even if she went there occasionally, she just strolled around and took in the scenery, and had never asked for fortune.

When she heard Zhou Ru asking for amulets to bless her family with safety and happiness, she was somewhat moved.

After a discussion, the two decided to set out for Xiangguo Temple early the next morning.

Yangyang came back from morning class and heard that his mother was going out of town to play the next day, so he insisted on going with her.

Song Ning thought that the child had been attending classes for several days in a row and could use a day of proper rest, so he agreed to take him with him.

So, early the next morning, after breakfast, the group set off for Xiangguo Temple outside the city.

Hang Shuheng was worried about them, mother and son. Even though Zhou Ru brought Zhou Yin and another guard with good martial arts skills, he still asked Uncle Chai to go with them. With one more person, they could be taken care of if there was any accident on the way.

Since coming to the capital, Uncle Chai, who is usually taciturn, has become even more silent.

At this time, when he heard Hang Shuheng instructing him to accompany him to Xiangguo Temple, his heart was slightly moved, and he silently drove the carriage out.

Xiangguo Temple is not far from the capital. After the carriage left the city, it took another hour to reach the gate of Xiangguo Temple.

Carriages were not allowed to enter. There was a special place for carriages outside the mountain gate, so the group had to get off the carriages.

Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple and there are basically no security risks. If someone dares to commit a crime in the temple, it means that he does not respect the royal family and is committing a serious crime that will bring disaster to the entire family. Therefore, no one dares to gamble with the lives of the entire family easily.

Even if someone really wanted to do something wrong, they would have to wait until they left Xiangguo Temple. Even in the incident with the late queen more than 20 years ago, those people were so arrogant, but they didn't dare to do it in the temple.

Because of this, Uncle Chai was not worried about the safety of Song Ning and others in Xiangguo Temple. He chose to stay outside the mountain gate alone to guard the carriage to avoid entering the temple and meeting acquaintances or enemies.

Although his appearance has changed now, even if his enemies meet him they may not be able to recognize him. However, nothing is absolute in this world, so it is better to be safe than sorry.

Song Ning and others entered the mountain gate and were dumbfounded when they saw the long staircase in front of them that looked like a ladder to heaven.

Ugh! This... this is too high! If I were to walk up there, I would be so tired.

Qing Shuang glanced at Song Ning and knew what she was thinking, so she reminded her, "Madam, you can go up in a sedan chair."
