"It’s good that Huanhuan and Changzhou are going too, it will be more lively. Longhua Temple is a famous temple in the Capital City, you can have a good look around later."
Ye Family turned around and instructed, "Yun Xiu, go arrange for two carriages."
Yun Xiu nodded, "Yes." She then withdrew to make the arrangements.
Tan Huanhuan with her bright white teeth and sunny smile said, "Thank you, Aunt Ye, sorry for the trouble."
"It’s just on the way, no trouble at all."
The daughter’s good friend is a VIP in the Ye Mansion.
In no time, two carriages were already waiting at the mansion gate.
Feng Liuli made an excuse not to go.
Later, under Ye Family’s persuasion, "Mr. Feng, you see, bringing four kids along is quite a task, you might as well come along as support."
Upon further thought, it made sense, so he joined the journey.
Ye Zhi naturally held Little Traitor’s hand, walked to the carriage, and glanced at her mother, signaling: How should we sit?
"I’ll go with Ye Zhi and Huanhuan, Mr. Feng in one carriage, Xiao Chen with Changzhou and Housekeeper Tan in the other, is that alright with you, Housekeeper Tan?"
Housekeeper Tan nodded, "I’ll follow Mrs. Ye’s arrangements."
His young master insisted on tagging along to the temple, already imposing on the hosts, how could Housekeeper Tan dare have any objections?
That the Ye Family didn’t hold anything against him was already a great kindness.
Yet the young master was unaware, cheerfully pulling Ye Zhi onto the carriage.
Housekeeper Tan was embarrassed!
The party set off grandly.
Longhua Temple is located on the outskirts east of the Capital City.
It is six kilometers away from the Capital City, requiring about half an hour by carriage.
The temple’s peaks rise, clouds linger on both sides.
East of Jingzhao City, there is a concealed yet high place overlooking the creek, with a temple named Longhua.
Birds perch on the temple’s eaves; spiritual traces strengthen the holy fate. The ancient lamp Buddha is the oldest, even predating the Tathagata.
The temple’s incense is abundant, with countless faithful men and women.
His Majesty, Emperor Jingping, also enjoys visiting here for worship, boosting Longhua Temple’s fame.
It has existed for over two hundred years, and time’s erosion has given it a more ancient appearance.
The group chatted and laughed along the way, and the half-hour journey passed quickly.
In no time, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Getting off the carriage, they saw a bamboo path leading to a secluded place, with rows of steps ascending.
In the morning light, quite a few faithful men and women were already walking up.
There were noblewomen in silk dresses, elegant ladies from wealthy families, and also ordinary folks...
At the foot of the mountain, there were also porters with sedan chairs who could carry you up for a fee, avoiding the walk.
Ye Family felt this was disrespectful to Buddha, believing only by walking up personally could they show their sincerity, so they led the four children along with Mr. Feng and continued to climb.
In a word: walk.
The children were all in excellent health, climbing the steps effortlessly.
Even Little Traitor showed no sign of fatigue.
Well, it seems after practicing with Mr. Gu Yan for a few months, they’ve built some physical strength.
On the contrary, Ye Family, was out of breath, with a thin sheen of sweat on her forehead.
Ye Zhi took out a handkerchief and helped her mother wipe the sweat off her forehead, "Mother, are you alright?"
Ye Family took two deep breaths and calmed down.
"I’m fine, oh look, we’ve arrived."
She pointed with her finger toward the temple gate.
The words "Longhua Temple" were written in small seal script on the plaque, gilded with gold.
Tan Huanhuan thought the road would be much longer, and exclaimed, "Wow, we arrived so quickly."
"Miss, did you wish to walk further?" The invisible Housekeeper Tan finally spoke quietly.
