Chapter 193 Still can’t see Tang’er?
Chapter 193 Still can’t see Tang’er?
Jiang Yanxuan shook his head and explained, "It was the same last month. During the ritual, Tang'er was in seclusion and didn't see us."
Other young men also testified, saying that they were now studying Taoism at Yunshang Temple. If they had the chance to meet Yuntang, they would tell her that her uncle and his family had returned to Beijing.
Xiao Ke and his brothers had no choice but to give up, but there were still six days left and they didn’t know if they could come every day.
But seeing that the young men were so enthusiastic and active, they even moved into Yunshang Temple, including the third, fourth, and fifth princes.
While they were surprised, they couldn't help but reflect on themselves and wonder if they were sincere enough.
Isn’t it said that sincerity is the key to success?
They had also seen with their own eyes the golden light shining from the hall, and while they were astonished and excited, they did not want to miss such an opportunity.
Who doesn’t want benefits?
They also wanted to join Xiao Ye and his team of young people.
But after all, they had just returned from away from Beijing for many years and were not very familiar with the young people in Beijing. Some of the ones they had known well when they were young seemed a little unfamiliar after not seeing them for too long.
After listening to what Xiao Ye said, they had not yet formally learned Taoism, so they would not be able to help even if they came, so in the end they had to give up.
The group of people talked for a while outside the Sanqing Hall and then dispersed.
Everyone in Prince Cheng's mansion had to go back to Beijing first. Prince Chengyang and his family had to go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and empress in the afternoon. They planned to leave the city and stay at a farm in the evening so that they could go to Yunshang Temple conveniently tomorrow.
The people from Yong'an Marquis' Mansion also took a few days off and planned to live on the farm. They didn't know if they could come every day, but at least they didn't want to be absent for a few days.
They also wanted Yuntang to know that her family members were all serious about Taoism, and wanted to know about her life in Taoism. They were a family.
Taoist Yizhen went to take care of the affairs in the temple.
Xiao Che and his companions arrived at the Sanqing Hall and saw that the people from Prince Cheng's Mansion had already left. Jiang Yanting was still holding his son in the square in front, watching the busy crowd.
Jiang Yanxuan stood in the corridor in a daze.
Xiao Che asked Gu Yifang, Lin Haoran, Lin Haoyu and others to help the other Taoists, and he walked to the corridor outside.
Jiang Yanxuan came back to his senses, and seeing Xiao Che coming over, he quickly clasped his fists and bowed, smiling, "Your Highness."
Xiao Che waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, and took the initiative to ask, "Prince Chengyang and his family came to Yunshang Temple right after returning to Beijing?"
Although he was busy with a ritual, there were a few familiar-looking people kneeling in the corridor today, so he understood what was going on.
"Yes, I came back yesterday evening. My uncle wanted to see Tang'er earlier, but my father said that Tang'er was busy with a ritual and it would be inappropriate to disturb him in the next few days."
"They just returned to the capital and will go to the palace today." Jiang Yanxuan quickly explained the situation in general, and then looked at Xiao Che expectantly.
"Does Tang'er really have to retreat every day?"
Xiao Che nodded and explained, "Junior Master does have to expend energy for every ritual. He has to retreat to adjust his state after the ritual is over. It is not appropriate to disturb him."
"Tang'er... she must be having a hard time now?" Seeing that Xiao Che also emphasized retreat, Jiang Yanxuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Not far away, teenagers were busy working. The younger ones were also very active. They didn't feel tired at all but seemed to be very happy.
But Jiang Yanxuan was thinking, his sister was a Taoist priest, but she was just a thirteen-year-old girl, she wouldn't say it even if she was tired.
Xiao Che was silent.
"The last time Tang'er went to the Duke of Ping's mansion, she had a bandage covering her eyes. Was she really practicing? Or did something go wrong with her practice? Is she okay?"
I didn't have the chance to ask in detail at the Duke Ping's Mansion, and I was afraid of dragging down and affecting my sister's affairs.
Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to come to him and talk. Of course, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity and hurriedly asked about his sister's condition.
Xiao Che knew that this was just an excuse. It would be fine for others, but the people in Yong'an Marquis Mansion would definitely be suspicious.
But he would not tell the truth. After thinking for a while, he said, "It is indeed cultivation. This is my Qingfeng sect's own business. It is not convenient to tell others about it."
That's the thing again.
Jiang Yanxuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless, but he still asked again: "Then... after the ritual is over, Tang'er doesn't need to go into seclusion anymore, right?"
Xiao Che hurriedly said, "Yes, I will need to spend at least a few days in seclusion after the ritual is over."
"But my uncle's family just returned to Beijing, and my aunt's family will also return to Beijing in a few days. They all want to see Tang'er. It is reasonable for Tang'er to pay respect to the elders and get to know his cousins."
Jiang Yanxuan said in embarrassment.
Tang'er is the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, so she always has to visit these relatives in the capital.
Rather than meeting at a party in the future and making a fool of yourself without knowing each other, it is better to recognize each other early.
Xiao Che saw Jiang Yanxuan's thoughts from his emotions, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let's talk about it in half a month. Junior Master has her own duties and tasks."
Jiang Yanxuan nodded, lowered his eyes and sighed, "I understand, and my family understands too. We just feel sorry for Tang'er and want to know about her situation."
"And her eyes... always make us feel uneasy, wondering what happened and whether the situation is serious."
This worry was caused by his confusion after he saw that there seemed to be another big mark on the yellow satin ribbon covering his sister's eyes.
The last time he was at the Duke Ping’s Mansion, he had seen the long ribbon up close. It was just embroidered with golden dragons and runes. The runes were fine, but could the golden dragon be embroidered casually?
This is what makes them even more confused and worried.
Another seal was added today. I don’t know the reason. How can I not be worried?
Seeing that he was still asking about the eyes, Xiao Che felt his concern and comforted him, "Don't worry, wait for Junior Master to come out of seclusion in half a month, and see if she has time to come back to the Marquis' Mansion."
So, no matter what, if you want your sister to come home and talk to you, you have to wait for half a month.
Obviously, there is no specific answer to the question about my sister's eyes.
Jiang Yanxuan didn't ask any more questions. He bowed to Xiao Che and said goodbye, then turned and walked towards Jiang Yanting who was walking his child in the square.
Although it was Jiang Yiming's first time to visit Yunshang Temple, he saw a lot of new things. It was very interesting just to see all kinds of people coming and going. He also had a lot of fun playing by himself.
Jiang Yanting would hold him or lead him, letting him walk around and look around.
Seeing his second brother coming back, Jiang Yanting asked in a low voice: "Still can't see Tang'er?"
He knew that his second brother had been standing outside the Sanqing Hall, waiting for an opportunity, even if it was just to get one more piece of information.
Jiang Yanxuan whispered and roughly recounted the conversation he had just had with Xiao Che.
"Then let's wait for half a month. It will be the end of the year by then. Originally, each mansion would have to visit before the New Year. Then we can take my sister to visit the elders. It will be a good opportunity."
Jiang Yanting thought for a moment and then said.
Jiang Yanxuan nodded and said nothing more.
The three brothers of Yong'an Hou were also helping to distribute steamed buns and hot water at this time.
