Chapter 112 From now on, I can only watch her from afar (Extra 1)
Liaochen is an ordinary cook monk at Dayuan Temple in the capital. He is usually responsible for cooking for the monks in the temple.
He doesn’t know many dishes, but the vegetarian dishes he cooks taste pretty good and no one thinks there is anything wrong with them.
However, his ferocious face was so scary that the abbot was worried that he would scare the believers who came to burn incense, so he made him stay in the kitchen and not take a step out.
After all, Buddhism is a peaceful place, and if it scares the believers, it is no joke.
That day, the abbot looked at the Taoist temple on the opposite hill and could not help but sigh: "We are all monks, but we are from different sects. It doesn't matter who we pray to. There are so many people there that we can't even squeeze in, but here we are so deserted."
The young monk next to the abbot quickly comforted him: "Master, please don't sigh. Perhaps it is because today is the first day of the month and it is also a day for giving alms, so there are so many talented people."
Liaochen had a rare day off today, so he took the initiative to bring the vegetarian meal to the front.
After hearing the little monk's words, his eyes flickered.
The young monk saw Chen suddenly appear, frowned and said: "Brother Liaochen, why are you in front? This is not good, what if you scare someone?"
It turned out that Liaochen had a scar on his forehead, and later he encountered a fire, which disfigured half of his face. In addition, his left leg was a little lame, and the whole person looked very hideous and terrifying.
"I understand." After replying with difficulty in his voice due to being damaged by smoke, Lechen walked towards his own kitchen.
After finding out that everyone else had gone back to their rooms to rest, he immediately washed up, changed into a clean monk's robe, and then headed to the opposite hill.
However, due to his disability, he saw a large number of believers already starting to descend the mountain before he reached the top of the mountain.
"The one presiding over the charity today is Shanzhang Xue's wife, right? She is such a beautiful and kind person!" Some people who were coming down the mountain discussed as they walked.
"That's right. When Shanzhang Xue went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he accidentally saved her from drowning, which led to this happy relationship."
"What do you young people know?" said an older woman. "This Shanzhang Xue's wife's surname is Xie. She is the daughter of General Xie. If you marry a woman like this, you won't have any worries about your career."
This is absolutely true. Decades ago, everyone said that the Xie family was stupid, but who would dare to say that now?
Although the first generation General Xie did not have a title, he was loyal and was even buried near the tomb of the previous emperor after his death.
Later, General Xie Linyuan commanded a large army and had two sons, one civil and one military. The youngest son has become the Prince's Guardian in recent years.
The two daughters are not simple either. The eldest daughter is the richest person in the world, and the second daughter's husband is the president of an academy with many students all over the world. Logically, the emperor should be wary of such a family!
But no, I am the only one who has received the emperor's favor.
The current emperor said: "Xie Aiqing is a loyal minister, the most loyal. Anyone in the world could rebel, except him."
"Yes! Being connected with the Xie family is really a road to success!" a young man said with emotion.
Lechen also heard this and unconsciously clenched his fists.
"In fact, in the early years, women in the capital mostly considered weakness as beauty." At this time, another lady who was dressed more gorgeously also showed up to chat, "At that time, many ladies from wealthy families liked to wear plain clothes.
The waists were pinched thinner and thinner, and the voice, language and movements were completely different from now. By the way, today's Mrs. Xue was also like that for a while.
But the world has changed since then, and the emperor will cultivate the kind of people he likes, just like many men now like to get as tanned as General Xie. "
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Speaking of Madam Xue, I have something to ask you!" A friend of Madam Chen asked, "I heard that the women's duckling house run by Madam Xue has been fully booked some time ago. Has your daughter signed up yet?"
"It's because I didn't apply. Otherwise, I wouldn't have donated the two hundred taels." Mrs. Chen said with a distressed tone, "I got the news relatively early. After donating the money this time, my daughter will be able to go to class next time."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? My family doesn't need these two hundred taels!" The man who spoke first said somewhat unhappily, "No, I have to go up and register for the donation first, so that my daughter can always learn to swim next time."
After meeting these people, Liaochen just stopped for a short while and then continued walking towards the top of the mountain.
When he was still one-third of the way to the top, he saw the gate of the Taoist temple. At the same time, he also saw the person he wanted to see this time - Xie Jingshu.
After so many years, Xie Jingshu's appearance has not changed at all. She was originally in her forties, but now she looks like she is only in her early thirties.
Behind her was a young couple.
Liaochen knew that they were the children of Xie Jingshu and Xue Han.
The boy looks like Xie Jingshu and the girl looks like Xue Han. Both the husband and wife are good-looking, so naturally the two children can be called the best of the best.
Watching their "large group of people" walking down the mountain, Lechen lowered his head and stepped aside.
"Hey! There's a monk here!" the girl who looked like Xue Han exclaimed, "Are you here to eat vegetarian food too?"
"Sister! Don't talk nonsense!" The boy stopped the girl from continuing to say, "He might be a monk from the opposite hill, and maybe he came here to look for the Taoist priest."
