Chapter 4774 Live for yourself
Tuoba Xian's eyes were filled with shock when she heard that Yang Ruoqing actually wanted to send her to the East China Sea to find him.
"Qing'er, are you serious?" she asked in disbelief.
Yang Ruoqing nodded vigorously, "Yes, I didn't say this impulsively, I said it after careful consideration."
Tuoba Xian raised her hand to cover her mouth, and her beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with mist.
"Is this... really okay?" She murmured, "Am I too unreserved? If Feng Tang finds out, will he be angry? If he comes to the door without saying hello, will he be angry?
He was caught off guard and thought I had ruined his affairs, so he hid again?"
Yang Ruoqing reached out and held Tuoba Xian's slightly cold hand tightly: "Mom, don't worry about Feng Tang, he is a sensible son and will not blame you."
"As for being reserved or not, these are all shackles and cages that we women impose on ourselves. We women are also human beings. The eldest princess and I, an ordinary peasant girl, have different identities except for our status at birth, but we are all human beings.
He has his own loves and hates."
"So Mom, whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. My wife will support you and accompany you to do it!"
"We want to have a good time and enjoy ourselves. Even if my father-in-law hides again, we will give up and we won't have to wait for the rest of our lives. Don't you think so?" she asked.
Tuoba Xian nodded, the mist in his eyes dissipated, revealing clarity and determination.
"Qing'er, you are right. I have been constrained by my status as the eldest princess for too long in my life. At this age, I just want to live for myself."
"Since your father-in-law doesn't have the courage to come to me, then let me go to him. Even if I die, I, Tuoba Xian, will have to be a wise man!"
…
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have agreed on traveling eastward, but the journey to the East China Sea is far away and they have to cross the sea. Although Tuoba Xian's bodyguard team must be brought along, Yang Ruoqing must ensure the absolute safety of her mother-in-law.
Therefore, even if the decision was made, Yang Ruoqing still had to make detailed arrangements and deployments for the eastbound trip to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The first step is to find Chen'er's detailed route map to the East China Sea...
All Tuoba Xian had to do was to wait patiently and leave the rest to Yang Ruoqing.
That night, Yang Ruoqing returned to her dormitory, picked up a pen and wrote a letter home to Chen'er who was far away in the capital.
In the letter at home, Yang Ruoqing Xiaozhi used emotion and reason, hoping to impress and persuade Chen'er to break the rules set by his grandfather and tell her the detailed route map to the East China Sea.
The letter was sent out overnight, and the next step was to wait for the news.
Let’s not mention this for now.
…
After nearly half a year of renovation, the Taoist temple located at the foot of Yikeshu Mountain has been completed.
When building a Taoist temple, it is crucial to ask Liu Dixian to check the feng shui and divide the foundation.
But in the later stages, professionals were needed for the design of specific halls and the statues of gods enshrined.
Then, Yang Ruoqing thought of Xiaoqin and her recommended Xiaomo's master last time.
She found an opportunity and met their master and apprentice. After several contacts, Yang Ruoqing discovered that Xiaomo's Taoist master should have a few brushes. He treated Xiaomo well and carried him with him wherever he went. Although he was poorly dressed,
But it has its own aura of being out of dust.
Yang Ruoqing then extended an invitation to him.
Xiaomo and his master did not immediately accept the invitation to come to the Taoist temple to be a resident Taoist priest. Instead, he first said that he would come and help build the Taoist temple hall and the sculptures of the gods to be enshrined.
On this day, Yang Ruoqing received the news from Master Xiaomo that all preparations for the Taoist temple were in place and they were waiting to choose a suitable day for its consecration.
So, even though it started to rain lightly, Yang Ruoqing, accompanied by Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang, held an umbrella and visited the Taoist temple.
When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, they saw two people wearing raincoats and bamboo hats waiting at the foot of the city wall outside the Taoist temple.
Seeing the whisk in the arm of the leader, the three of them knew that this was Xiao Mo's master.
"Daozhang Yuan, I've kept you waiting for a long time." As they approached, Yang Ruoqing smiled and took the initiative to greet the other party.
Taoist priest Yuan shook his head: "Mrs. Luo, you're welcome. Everyone, please come inside."
Xiaomo walked a few steps quickly and pushed open the two heavy doors of the Taoist temple, then waited aside to allow Taoist priest Yuan and Yang Ruoqing to go forward.
After they entered, Xiaomo closed the door of the Taoist temple again.
After entering the Taoist temple, Yang Ruoqing's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.
I am ashamed to say that she originally proposed the construction of this Taoist temple in order to save the ghosts in the mass graves in this area, eliminate their evil obstacles, resolve their grievances, and help them reincarnate as soon as possible.
During the initial construction period, she came more frequently, but later she became busy with other things and gradually came less frequently.
Construction matters are mainly left to Yang Huazhong and Blacksmith Luo, but she will still pay attention to the progress.
The last time I visited the Taoist temple was a month and a half ago. When I came to see it, the Taoist temple's courtyard walls, buildings, and several main halls were basically completed.
Craftsmen are busy carving out the details inside the temple, as well as the wooden statues of the gods to be enshrined.
So there were wooden piles scattered all over the front and back yards. After walking around, she asked some questions and left.
When she came back today, she saw a completely new look, which was beyond her expectation.
Along the way, there are forests of pines and cypresses, surrounded by green trees.
The palace is majestic and majestic, shrouded in green shades, showing solemnity and majesty, with a mysterious fairy atmosphere everywhere.
While walking, Daochang Yuan introduced to Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong the various places in the Taoist temple, such as: the incense burner, the wishing tree, the life-release pool...
Among them, a huge Xuanwu statue in the release pool made everyone stop and watch.
"Mrs. Luo, please see, this Xuanwu statue is based on the Xuanwu found when digging the foundation that day. It is enshrined here so that the incense of the Taoist temple will continue and blessings will be everywhere." Taoist priest Yuan said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, looking at the Xuanwu statue in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the big turtle that was dug out at that time.
It was stolen by a greedy golden lock and sold. I wonder what happened to the big turtle later on?
Alas, I hope it can escape disaster.
However, Jin Suo's greed also received retribution. He contracted a sudden illness and died at a young age, leaving his wife and children behind.
I heard someone say a while ago that Jin Suo's wife could no longer remain a widow after only half a year. She took her children back to her parents' home, and soon remarried and moved to another country. The children also changed their surnames.
The incense of the Jinsuo family was completely cut off by his generation...
"Mrs. Luo, please come this way." Daochang Yuan said.
Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses, nodded slightly, and continued to move forward with Taoist Yuan. The group visited the hall inside the Taoist temple and the rooms on both sides of the hall, and finally came to the most magnificent hall.
