Transfer Fubao four and a half years old

Chapter 624: Encountering three Beile and Taichang by chance.

Zimo and the guards went to check for a long time, and when they came back, Zimo reported: "Master, the traffic ahead has been blocked for a long time, and it may take a long time to clear it. We are almost at the mountain gate, so why not let everyone get off the car and walk? It will take less than half a cup of tea to walk forward, and it can save some time.

But the road is very slippery in this weather, so we can go to the pavilion in front of the mountain and wait for a while. I will ask the guards to find a few sedan chairs to carry the lady and the children up."

Jiao Zhongjue and Li Wenchang both agreed with Zimo's suggestion. It would be best to have a sedan chair. Otherwise, there were hundreds of steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the temple. Not to mention the crowds, it would probably take at least half an hour to walk there.

Anyway, it's just a matter of walking a few dozen feet further. If we don't do this, it might take an hour or two to wait for the road to be cleared.

Jiao Zhongjue and Li Wenchang dismounted first, threw the horses to other servants, stepped back and greeted the relatives in the carriages one by one. Naturally, no one had any objection.

Now that we are here, we cannot help but worship in this temple. Besides, looking at the blocked road, it is impossible to turn back without going up the mountain, so naturally we all obey their arrangements.

Li Yan and Madam Li put on the veil hats they had prepared long ago, and also covered their daughters tightly. The three girls were all twelve or thirteen years old after the New Year, and this was the time when they needed to be most careful. They had to be extra careful in crowded places to avoid being spied on by interested people.

Fortunately, although there were many carriages and horses, there were still many maids, old women and guards from the three families. After getting off the carriages, they protected their masters in the middle and walked forward.

Finally we got to the pavilion smoothly without any problems and no one fell because of the slippery road, but our shoes were still a little wet.

Unexpectedly, there was already a group of people waiting in the pavilion. Judging from their clothes, they must be rich or noble. It would be a bit difficult to squeeze in.

"Sixteenth brother, why are it you?" Jiao Zhongjue had been walking in front, and was deciding whether to continue moving forward or what to do. He was tall and mighty, with a dignified appearance, and stood out in the crowd. He was immediately recognized by the people in the pavilion.

"Thirteenth brother, it's really not easy to meet you during the New Year. Let me wish you a happy new year first." Jiao Zhongjue didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here. He hurried forward to greet him.

"The wind is strong, hurry up and go inside. Please come in and talk. We need to squeeze in a little more so that more people can get in."

When Prince Jue called him "Thirteenth Brother", Li Yan and the others knew that the person in front of them was the Thirteenth Beile.

He looked slightly shorter than Jiao Zhongjue, but the age difference was not that big. He seemed very easy to talk to, and even asked his people in the pavilion to give up their seats.

Seeing that there were so many of them, they quickly asked the women inside to squeeze in. The maids and old women also gave up their seats and just stood at the edge of the pavilion waiting.

A noble lady who was sitting in the innermost part and was also wearing a veil and surrounded by maids and old women stood up at this time. She did not speak, but bowed in the direction of Jiao Zhongjue as a greeting.

Jiao Zhongjue nodded. Seeing that the Thirteenth Beile did not introduce himself, he knew that the person who could be accompanied by the Thirteenth Beile to worship Buddha on the first day of the new year must be the Thirteenth Beile's biological mother who had a very low status. Because she was just a Taichang, he did not need to pay homage to her. He had never seen her before and was not familiar with her.

The reason she was able to stay here was because Thirteenth Prince asked the Emperor for help. Half a year after the Emperor ascended the throne, Tai Chang had already left the palace with Thirteenth Prince to enjoy retirement.

Generally, after the death of an emperor, the concubines in the harem, except those designated to be buried with the emperor, would usually be arranged to become nuns. If they were left behind, they would have to live in the cold palace and only enjoy their original treatment. The emperor, grateful for the filial piety of the Thirteenth Prince, allowed her to leave the palace and live in honor, which was considered a special treatment for her.

Even if the concubines of the late emperor left the palace, they could only stay in their son's house for the rest of their lives and could not go out and walk around. They were so low-ranking that they could not be considered masters. However, if they went to burn some scriptures or burn incense for the late emperor, it would not be considered a violation of the rules, and no one would pursue it for no reason.

Chuchu stood between her mother and sister. Relying on her young age, she took a few more glances at the Taichang. It was hard to tell what she looked like under the veil, but she should be older than the Empress Dowager. She was so timid that she didn't dare to come forward after paying her respects. Instead, she shrank back and didn't dare to raise her head, trying to reduce her presence.

Juanjuan stood beside Chuchu and noticed that Chuchu was always observing others. She couldn't help but gently turn her head back to her mother, so that she wouldn't deliberately look at that poor man anymore.

The breeze blew gently, lifting a corner of Juanjuan's veil, revealing the girl's face was quiet and calm. Although she was not very beautiful, she was very pretty, dignified and generous, and seemed to have a very good character.

The pavilion was very crowded. There was no room for so many people to sit down. After greeting each other and wishing each other a happy new year, no one spoke except Prince Jue and the Thirteenth Beile who started chatting. Chuchu and her family also looked at the snow scene outside and the hustle and bustle of pedestrians who were still pushing forward.

It's not too cold this year, and the chilly wind mixed with snow feels quite refreshing on the faces. Chuchu, Wenya and Baobao can't help but stretch out their hands to catch the occasional snowflakes that fall. However, even if they catch them, they melt as soon as they touch their hands. But the three of them still enjoy doing it.

Li Yan and Madam Li did not try to stop them. Only Juanjuan was calm and composed as usual, quietly looking at her younger brother and sister. The only eye exposed from under her veil showed a faint smile. She was like the snow scene, quiet and peaceful, which made people feel comfortable just by looking at her.

Fortunately, the sedan chair that was sent to find arrived quickly, but there were only four sedan chairs in total, and there were no more, so everyone had to make do with what they had.

Li Yan and Bao Bao, who were standing at the outermost, did not hesitate to get on one of the carriages. Madam Li also put Wen Ya and daughter-in-law Xie on one of the carriages. The remaining two carriages were difficult to divide. If Chu Chu and Juan Juan got on one of the carriages, Madam Li would be embarrassed to sit on the remaining one herself.

Even though Taichang did not hold a high position, she was still the biological mother of the Thirteenth Beile. It was impossible for her to walk, but it was also impossible for two adults to squeeze together.

It would certainly not be easy for the Thirteenth Prince to compete with them. Madam Li hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to distribute it.

Fortunately, the awkward situation didn't last long. Juanjuan stepped forward and said, "Aunt and sister, please take a seat. Madam and I will take the seat together."

Juanjuan was just guessing about Taichangzai. No one had introduced her position specifically just now, and no one knew how to address her. "Madam" was just a respectful title she came up with at random. She simply felt that when she was out and about, calling her Madam was more decent than calling her Taichangzai, and it would not let people who heard it imagine anything. Such an identity usually had to be concealed, otherwise she would not have tried so hard to reduce her presence.

After she finished speaking, she walked a few steps inside and helped up the "madam" who was trying hard to make her presence less noticeable. After watching her aunt and Chuchu get on the sedan chair, she helped the madam out and let her sit on the sedan chair first. Then she squeezed in and sat beside her. There was no trace of disgust or unnaturalness. She responded quickly and gracefully, which made people couldn't help but look at her sideways.

Not only the Thirteenth Beile, but even Jiao Zhongjue nodded slightly, thinking that Juanjuan's behavior was very appropriate and did not bring shame to the Thirteenth Beile.
