The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 239: Temple Outing and Burning Incense

Shen Jiarou had just met her eldest sister and her family of three. This time, she did not pass through the Yunzhou provincial capital, but went directly to the county.

Yunzhou is close to the capital and has a relatively prosperous economy.

Even a state or county is prosperous.

Zhen Luosang lifted the curtain, and a vibrant scene came into view.

"Girl, spring is indeed a good day, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and the sun shining brightly."

Zhang Zirou chuckled: "Then it looks like autumn is not going to be good?"

Ruan Qingling covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed secretly, Zhen Luosang choked, and Zheng Shutong spoke slowly.

"We divided the autumn fruit among ourselves. She doesn't like it anyway."

The two nodded in agreement.

What Zhen Luosang didn't expect was that her own princess also started teasing her.

"girl……"

Shen Jiarou tried to hold back her laughter and felt her face hurt. She felt better after some facial movements.

"If you ask me, each has its own merits."

Ruan Qingling nodded: "Yes, the scenery is different."

Zhen Luosang quickly agreed: "The food is different too."

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed again. Zhen Luosang realized what stupid thing he had said and his face turned slightly red.

In the following days, Zhen Luosang became noticeably quieter.

"There should also be a branch of our hotpot and restaurant here." She remembered that there was one.

Ruan Qingling said: "Miss, yes."

In the year since coming to Beijing, many of their businesses have expanded overseas.

Shen Jiarou nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. We should eat and drink as much as we can on the way. Don't let yourself be wronged."

She doesn't want to suffer from saving money when she shouldn't, after all, money is earned to improve life and enhance quality.

The four of them nodded in unison.

After entering the county town, it was Zhang Zirou who lifted the curtain this time.

"Girl, this county town looks pretty good." The streets are clean, with people coming and going, and many people setting up stalls.

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou also sat over.

"It's pretty good. As expected, the counties and cities around the capital are not too bad."

Bao Zhiqing was already waiting at the official post station. Shen Jiarou put her hand on Zhang Zirou's and came down.

"Madam, are you okay?" Seeing Madam Wang coming over, Shen Jiarou spoke with concern.

Nanny Wang smiled and nodded: "I am fine, thank you for your concern, Miss."

"Let's go in and rest for a while." The journey is tiring, but what you see and hear is also different.

The air and seasons of this era were pretty good, not as hot and unbearable as in later times.

As soon as you go out, you feel like you're being roasted by fire. If you don't go out, you have to use air conditioning. In the summer, there's a risk of being burned to death by the heat.

I think about how there were two suns in the past, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.

But it’s really hard to explain myths.

There was a faint scent of paper and ink in the guest room of the official inn. I guess the previous tenant was a scholar.

Everyone looked around, Bao Zhiqing and others were even more careful, checking all around to make sure they had missed something.

Shen Jiarou glanced around and took in the entire layout of the room.

The official post station is indeed better than the inn and has higher security, but not everyone can stay there. A travel permit is required.

Shen Jiarou had just sat down, stroking her skirt when the waiter knocked on the door.

"Hello, guests. I'm here to add more tea and water."

Xu Zhi glanced around and nodded, and the waiter walked in.

Thinking that this was her first time here, Shen Jiarou started chatting with the waiter.

"Uncle Xiaoer, what are the characteristics and features here? We are new here and don't know much about it. Could you please tell us more?"

Ruan Qingling received the look from her princess and took out ten copper coins and handed them to the waiter, which made him look delighted.

"Thank you, sir. Our county doesn't really have any special features. The main thing is that there is a temple in the suburbs. I heard it's quite spiritual. If you are interested, you can go and burn some incense and donate some money."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently: "Thank you, Uncle Xiaoer, you go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, enjoy your meal, guests."

Shen Jiarou thought of the temples in her previous life, such as the famous Huayan Temple, Laojun Cave, Guoqing Temple, Lingyin Temple, Jingci Temple, and Hongluo Temple. However, she had only been to Huayan Temple, Laojun Cave, and Hongluo Temple in Beijing. It was said that they were quite accurate in helping people have children and find marriage.

Huayan Temple and Laojun Cave both belonged to the mountain city in the previous life. Laojun Cave is a Taoist temple. It was very popular on Douyin for a period of time, and netizens said it was very effective.

Guoqing Temple is where Jigong became a monk, Lingyin Temple is where he lived, and finally he lived in Jingci Temple.

Nanny Wang watched her princess lower her head in deep thought and did not say anything to disturb her.

"Do you want to go burn incense? How about going for a walk tomorrow?" It seemed like she hadn't been there for a few years.

After the repair, everyone went to bed early and set off the next day to the temple that the waiter mentioned - Ci'an Temple.

Shen Jiarou was wearing a plain beige dress, and only a hairpin and a hairpin flower in her hair. She had no other accessories on her body, and was extremely low-key.

You need to climb a mountain to reach the temple. After several people supported each other to go up the mountain, Shen Jiarou felt that her legs and feet were not her own.

"Girl, climbing the mountain is really tiring." Oh my God, she was sweating.

Seeing Zhen Luosang wiping his sweat, Shen Jiarou chuckled, then looked up at the door.

There were many pilgrims in the main hall of the temple, and they were queuing together.

"I heard that marriage predictions here are quite accurate."

"I heard that praying for a child is quite accurate."

"What about seeking wealth?"

Everyone neither shook their heads nor nodded.

“Everything happens for a reason.”

Zheng Shutong was behind Shen Jiarou and heard the discussion of the people in front and behind her. She leaned over and whispered.

"Miss, what do you want?" She was quite curious.

Shen Jiarou shook her head: "It depends on fate."

She actually just came here to enjoy the spring and burn some incense, and she didn't really have any specific requests.

Now that she has money and power, it seems that she has no demands, right?

She was only eight years old, so there was no need for her to pray for a marriage, let alone a child.

It was Shen Jiarou's turn. She knelt in the worship hall of the Buddhist temple, knelt properly, clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

Bodhisattva, now that I am here, I would like to ask you to bless my grandmother, father, mother, Crown Prince, third sister, Consort Defei, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law... May they be healthy and safe.

Thinking that she had mentioned too many people, Shen Jiarou spoke quickly.

If you think I am asking for too much, then please bless my grandmother, father, mother, father, grandmother, and mother first. I would like to thank you very much.

After thinking about what she wanted to say, Shen Jiarou loosened her hands, placed them on the worship hall, and bent down to kneel.

After worshipping the Bodhisattva, everyone came to the temple to stroll and admire the scenery.

Zhen Luosang looked around and couldn't help but say, "Girl, after coming to the temple, I feel much more at ease."

Ruan Qingling nodded: "I feel the same way."

Nanny Wang was the oldest person in the team. She chuckled and said, "Buddhism is a pure place. It's not surprising to feel this way."

Shen Jiarou did not join in their conversation, but just nodded occasionally.

"The scenery here looks nice. Why don't we stop here for a night and adjust ourselves."

Zhen Luosang became interested when he heard this.

"Okay, I've never lived in a Buddhist house before."

When I think about the fact that monks in later generations need academic qualifications and can get married normally, I wonder if this goes against the definition of Buddhism.
