Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 21

Pray for blessings

Fengming Temple is located on Fengpeng Mountain outside Jiangzhou City.

From Qin Mansion to the foot of Fengpeng Mountain, it takes a full hour for carriages and horses.

When Qin Mansion’s carriage finally stopped, Joey was the first to jump out of the car and took a few breaths of fresh mountain air before he finally recovered.

Qiao Yunlan stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid, and saw Joey’s expression as if he was very happy after experiencing some disaster. She was very helpless, “The road in the mountains is naturally not as good as the stone bricks in the city, and it will be more wobbly.”

When Joey heard the voice, he turned his head and shouted, “Mom…”

Qiao Yunlan stepped forward and took Joey’s hand, “Well, since you feel unwell, let’s take a rest at the foot of the mountain. It will take about an hour to walk up to Fengming Temple from here.”

Joey smiled happily, took Qiao Yunlan’s hand and said, “Thank you, mother.”

Fengming Temple is the most popular temple in Jiangzhou.Except for the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, many people come to Fengming Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings at other times.So even if today is not a special day, there are still many people at the foot of Fengpeng Mountain.

Qiao Yunlan took Joey and sat down at a teahouse with a shed at the foot of the mountain.

The owner of the teahouse saw that the two people sitting down were obviously not dressed like ordinary people. He hurriedly came over to serve them, for fear of neglecting them.”Madam, have a good morning, sir. What would you two like to eat?”

Qiao Yunlan: “Two bowls of tea.”

Joey: “No… I want ten bowls and nine portions of honey-osmanthus cake. Four portions of tea and honey-osmanthus cake are sent to the carriage over there for the four people in gray clothes next to them.”

Boss: “Okay!”

The teahouse owner turned around and went to prepare tea.

Qiao Yunlan looked at Joey and knew why he ordered it, so she remained silent.

Joey turned around and smiled at Qiao Yunlan. Qiao Yunlan nodded his head lightly and said helplessly: “You…”

Joey knew that Qiao Yunlan acquiesced.He turned around and shouted to the maids standing behind him: “You guys should come and sit too.”

Nanny Wu was feeling unwell today, the road was bumpy and she was tired from going up the mountain, so Qiao Yunlan didn’t let her come with her. Except for a few servants in the house, she only randomly ordered a few people in the room to come and serve her.The people chosen were all skilled people around Qiao Yunlan. They were young, energetic, and not afraid of trouble.

However, these maids Joey looked very familiar to each other. Two of them were Minghuan and Minghua who had served him before, and the other two were always with Qiao Yunlan.

After spending more than half a month together, Joey became familiar with them. During the break, he did not forget to ask for a snack for the four of them.

“You just remember to ask for it for them? What about the mother?” Qiao Yunlan couldn’t help but feel a little sour when she saw Joey running back with a cheerful face.

“No way, mother.” Joey said, “Look, what is this?”

Qiao Yunlan looked at the piece of silk cloth held in Joey’s hand, “What is it?”

Joey opened the silk cloth covering it and handed the thing to Qiao Yunlan like a treasure, “Look!”

Qiao Yunlan looked at the yellow and white cakes stacked up like a hill and said in surprise: “Cloud cake and pineapple cake?”

“That’s right.” Joey said proudly, “I know Mom doesn’t like honey, but likes pastries. So I asked Grandma Wu to teach me how to make it yesterday.”

Qiao Yunlan picked up a piece and said, “The preparation of cloud cake and pineapple cake is the most troublesome. Every time Nanny Wu makes it, it takes at least an hour. Didn’t you have to take riding and archery lessons yesterday?”

Joey: “Hey…I didn’t take a break at noon yesterday, so I went to learn from my grandma. Although I didn’t do much by myself, I still deserve some credit.”

Qiao Yunlan picked up a piece, put it in her mouth and took a bite.She hadn’t tasted it yet, but she looked up and saw Joey’s expectant look on his face.

Qiao Yunlan smiled, “It’s delicious.”

Joey: “Really?”

Qiao Yunlan: “Yeah. It tastes not bad compared to what grandma makes.”

Joey: “How can it be different? This is what grandma did.”

Qiao Yunlan laughed. No wonder Nanny Wu told her last night that she would be happy today. This was the reason.

But this happiness did not last long, and the voice from the side ruined Qiao Yunlan’s good mood.

“Yun Lan, what a coincidence? Are you coming to Fengming Temple to pray for blessings today?”

Qiao Yunlan knew who it was as soon as she heard the voice, and the smile on her face faded a lot.

The voice sounded familiar, and Joey turned around.

As expected, it was Lou Mengli, with Lou Ling beside him.

Lou Mengli was not polite and sat directly at Qiao Yunlan and Joey’s table. He even didn’t forget to pull Lou Ling over and sit down with him.

The Lou family members who followed him consciously stood aside and did not surround the teahouse.

The moment Lou Mengli and Lou Ling sat down, Qiao Yunlan stood up and said, “The princess is well, the prince is well.”

Joey also stood up and said, “The princess is well, the prince is well.”

Even the maid at the table next to her stood up.

Lou Mengli: “Sister Yun Lan, why are you so polite? Sit down, sit down, let’s all sit together.”

Qiao Yunlan: “The princess has a distinguished status, how can a minister be worthy of sitting at the same table with you and the prince?”

Lou Mengli: “Sister, where are you? We all come out together to pray for our families. Why should we care about our status? There is no such thing as high or low here. You and I are just good sisters from the past. There is no problem.”

Qiao Yunlan just smiled and said nothing, and she didn’t care about her status. For more than half a month, you used your status to suppress me and forced me to take A Qiao to the mansion. Could it still be my wish?

The two of them were going back and forth, exchanging words with each other, and the two children beside them were also secretly competing.

Joey stayed close to Qiao Yunlan, not even looking at Lou Ling. It’s so funny. You asked me to be your companion, so I have to be your companion?Dream!I’m not stupid, I’m going to ask for trouble.

Lou Ling looked at Joey’s cowardly and arrogant look, and deliberately took a few steps forward to get closer to Joey.

Joey immediately took a few steps back like a frightened rabbit.

Although Lou Mengli was talking to Qiao Yunlan, his eyes did not leave Lou Ling and Joey.Seeing the two people’s actions, Lou Mengli was thoughtful and didn’t know what she was thinking.

Qiao Yunlan followed Lou Mengli’s line of sight and saw that Joey was leaning closer to her, as if he was afraid of something.

Thinking of the last time Joey was bullied by Lou Ling in the Lou family, Qiao Yunlan suddenly lost her face. She casually saluted Lou Mengli and said lightly: “We have almost rested. If the princess and the prince have nothing to do, we will go ahead.”

After that, Qiao Yunlan took Joey and left regardless of whether Lou Mengli agreed or not.

Before leaving, Joey turned around naturally and rolled his eyes at Lou Ling.

The angle and timing were very clever. At the exact moment when Joey turned around and left, no one could tell that Joey was rolling his eyes at the person except the person being rolled his eyes.

Lou Ling looked at Joey’s back. He was really angry and laughed. Did this man really think that there was nothing he could do to him?

Lou Mengli looked at Lou Ling who suddenly laughed out loud, and then at the backs of Joey and his friends as they left. She didn’t understand. “What’s the conflict between you and Young Master Qiao? I’ve never seen you so persistent in finding a reading companion before. For this reason, you even ignored your father’s letter urging you to return to Beijing, insisting on staying here for more than half a month.”

Lou Ling: “Who said I had a conflict with him?”

“Exactly!” Lou Mengli sneered: “Did I give you the title of Little Overlord of the Capital? If you really don’t have any objections to Young Master Qiao, why do you have to have someone be your companion? Isn’t it a good thing to be your companion?”

Lou Ling: “Don’t worry about it.”

Lou Mengli: “Yes, I don’t care. If you really don’t need me to care, why did you drag me to Fengming Temple today? You know clearly that I am not in good health, but you still insist on me coming to climb the mountain. You really don’t want me to live a long life…”

Lou Ling: “If you don’t come out and stay in that water curtain hole, you will die faster.”

Lou Mengli rolled her eyes at Lou Ling and said, “If you have the ability, don’t ask me to do this. Your relationship with Qiao Yunlan was already going well, but you insist on asking my new baby son to be your companion, so you will only ask your mother and me to do this offending thing. If it were another person, who could do it more clearly than me?”

Lou Ling nodded, “Indeed.”

Lou Mengli: “Get out! I went back to Jiangzhou to recuperate, not for you to make me sick.”

Lou Ling glanced at Lou Mengli: “If you finish the work today, you can stay in Jiangzhou for another year.”

Lou Mengli: “Really?”

Lou Ling: “The capital is not peaceful right now. I can’t spend too long here.”

Lou Mengli: “I understand. You two, father and son, are truly virtuous! Joey is a good person, and he has not offended you. You insist on bullying others, just like your father did before!”

Lou Ling said nothing.

Lou Mengli clapped her hands and stood up, “Let’s go. Let’s go up the mountain.”
