1058: Chapter 1058: Singing (6) 1058: Chapter 1058: Singing (6) Everyone thought that was a pretty good idea, especially Xun Hui, who felt that after so much had happened, it was about time to pay a temple visit.
The national religion of the Great Xuan Dynasty was Buddhism.
There was the Dahuguo Temple in Beijing which had even helped Emperor Gaozu in unifying the land, so across the country there were numerous temples, all thriving with worshippers.
In Baihua County, the biggest one was Qinglian Temple, not more than seven or eight miles from the county seat.
In fact, from Yang Ruxinâs manor, it was even closer, about four or five miles away.
Once that was decided, everyone felt much more at ease.
Another round of firecrackers was set off, dumplings were eaten, and Xiaofeng, representing the Yang Family, kowtowed to send off the Year Beast.
With that, the New Year celebrations came to an end.
Bright and early on the third day of the new year, after breakfast, Yang Ruxin left the house in the care of Du Yunpeng and the whole family set off in three packed carriages.
Of course, Shadow Seven was sent ahead to Xiaoliu Village.
With the house having been empty for many days, someone needed to arrange for it to be cleaned in advance.
âSis, youâre totally awesome,â Yu Qingge expressed her utmost admiration when speaking of Yang Ruxin still being the County Magistrateâs goddaughter, âNo wonder youâre the heroineâŠâ
As for Yu Qinggeâs sometimes erratic personality, Yang Ruxin was now quite accustomed to it and, therefore, couldnât be bothered to engage with her.
âAh, sis, itâs so boring just sitting here, why not sing a song?â Yu Qingge didnât get upset when Yang Ruxin ignored her, and just kept trying to entertain herself.
âYou sing,â Yang Ruxin glanced at her, âDidnât you learn painting and music since you were young?â
âAh, I donât have a single musical bone in my body.
The reason I mentioned the pianoâŠ
is because my brother is really good at it.â Yu Qingge sighed, âReally, he even went to study at the Royal Academy of Music in EnglandâŠ
I like to listenâŠ
My mom said when I was little, I wouldnât go to sleep without my brotherâs piano playingâŠ
And let me tell you, I canât remember the lyrics to any songs, to this day Iâve only memorized the lyrics to âTwo TigersââŠâ
Yang Ruxin felt a headache coming on, another oddball in the group.
âSis, come on, sing a little songâŠâ Yu Qingge shook Yang Ruxinâs arm, âJust oneâŠâ
âStop shaking me.â Yang Ruxin pushed her away, âFine, you want a song?
Happy now?â
Yu Qingge hurriedly sat up straight and even picked up Erya to sit on her lap: âListen to big sister sing a songâŠâ
Yang Ruxinâs singing was not bad, and the body she inhabited had a decent voice, so belting out a tune was honestly not hard.
She started clapping a rhythm: âLook at the chrysanthemums blooming wild in the mountains, each one as vibrant and lovely as youâŠ
Even if mountains may not have edges, even if heaven and earth are connected, my hand will always be holding yoursâŠâ
The song was quite lively, so shortly the few youngsters in the carriage joined in the singing.
Though they couldnât remember the lyrics, their giggles and chuckles made for a merry time.
âHaha, blasting chrysanthemums.â Yu Qingge leaned in close to Yang Ruxin, âSis, your brother-in-law sure inspires a strong urge to âblast chrysanthemumsâ in peopleâŠâ
âOh?
Why donât you go try?â Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly.
âI donât have that functionâŠ
But you better keep an eye on him, I guarantee, there will definitely be lots of men charmed to death by himâŠâ Yu Qingge giggled covering her mouth.
Yang Ruxin knocked on her head with her hand, âStop talking nonsense, or Iâll have to deal with you.â
âIâll stop,â Yu Qingge quickly closed her mouth, âJust consider what I said as a whiff of fragrant breeze passing byâŠâ
âAre you a jester sent by a monkey?â Yang Ruxin couldnât help but shake her head, troubled by this mischievous kid.
