Chang'an Great Buddha Temple.

Since the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the saint took everyone to live in the Big Buddha Temple, and now in late October, although the 10,000 old plums behind the Buddhist Temple are not all open, in the end they are tied with flower bones.

Empress Yuwen didn't plan to follow, but Princess Huayang persuaded her to say that she was distracted. The Big Buddha Temple covers a vast area, they have a courtyard for each person, they are not willing to follow the saint in a place, naturally they can go to other places, and this time the uncle is sick, she is in the Big Buddha Temple to burn a few incense, listen to the abbot talk about the scriptures for peace is also good. Queen Yuwen pondered for a long time, so she nodded and agreed, As for Concubine Xian going to burn incense for Princess Chang'an to make a vow, she didn't hear it.

The vegetarian food of the Big Buddha Temple is naturally one of the best in the Eastern Qin, the emperor and the queen are resting here, and the monks of the Big Buddha Temple are naturally carefully received.

This time, the saint who went out of the city did not make a big fanfare, but most of the important ministers in the court still knew it, but everyone knew the saint's temperament, and naturally no one accused him of living in the Big Buddha Temple for ten days and a half months.

The emperor and concubine traveled together, but they did not bring out the four princes and the five princes, and there was Princess Huayang in the left and right palaces, and handed over the two princes to the youngest daughter, and the sage was still very relieved. Concubine Xian wanted to take the five princes with her, but Empress Yuwen said softly beside her that the child was young, so she didn't have to eat vegetarian food with the adults.

Concubine Xian pondered for a long time, or the saint was more important in her heart, and in the early years, because her daughter fell in love with Xie Duan, she sent someone to Pingzhou to inquire about the news, only saying that Xie Duan was a good character, and there were no maids around her, and she was satisfied. Who would have expected that waiting for the sage to make a will, the palace people around her daughter wrote a letter only saying that after the concubine was appointed as the head of Huaishan Academy, she often left the princess outside to keep the empty room alone.

After waiting for several years to receive the news, it only turned out that Xie Yuma followed Jiang Hong to study, Jiang Hong had a daughter, and the children grew up together, and the woman even gave birth to a Xiaolang to Xie Duan, who is now five years old, and the moment she learned the news, she pinched off the nails that she had raised for a long time and dyed with impatiens to be bright.

It was the fourth year that Xingxuan married Xie Duan, she received her daughter's letters, and the paper was full of husband and wife singing and harmony, she hurt her body when she gave birth to Xingxuan, and she was also sad in her early years Why Xingxuan is not a man, but she has been such a biological daughter for so many years, how not to put the other party in her heart.

It was she who sent a message, and during the Lantern Festival, when Jiang Hong took the little lang out to watch the lanterns, he was snatched away by the little lang and sold it to people, and the servants who ordered it not to go through leaked the news, and they were not allowed to track it, as if the little lang had never been born. The sage's harem is quiet, over the years, the high-ranking concubines in addition to the queen are alone, there are some nobles who can't be on the stage, change clothes, and the sage loves her, although Queen Yuwen doesn't want to see her, but she is a person of high character, at most she picks a few thorns in her words, and although she is not as simple as when she was in the boudoir for many years, she has never harmed anyone, that is the first time, she taught someone to sell a five-year-old Xiaolang.

Later, she cried silently a few times when the saint came to the Feiyu Palace, and the palace people only said in private that she was sick with her daughter, and it happened that the princess's mansion in Chang'an was repaired, and the saint issued an edict to recall them.

Xie Duan wanted to find the little lang again, but after all, he couldn't resist the holy decree, since then his daughter was interested in building Mingyue Tower, Xie Duan also helped, the husband and wife became closer and closer, but the two children have been married for ten years, no matter how she asks God and worships Buddha, her daughter has never had flesh and blood.

Then there are natural disasters in Pingzhou and Yuzhou for many years, and news of the uprising of displaced people came. At that time, the five princes grew up under her knees, and when she heard the palace gossip about the people and the people were easy to eat, she dreamed more and more frequently that Xiao Lang who she had never met, but she didn't know where the other party was and whether he died in the chaos. After being woken up by the nightmare, she listened to the sound of rain outside the window and poured down all night, and as soon as the light was bright the next day, she called Gong E and said that she would set up a small Buddha hall in the Feiyu Temple, and asked for a Bodhisattva from the Big Buddha Temple, and prayed day and night - if that Xiaolang had a complaint, it would be retributed to her, and not to affect Xingxuan.

Just when she was becoming more and more pious and desperate day after day, Xingxuan sent someone to report that she was pregnant, and she suddenly cried with joy. The little yellow door of the Huangtian Temple came to pass the sage's message, saying that she would go to the Big Buddha Temple to enjoy the plums, she thought that she must come over to repay her wishes, and even the five princes couldn't take care of it.

The Great Buddha Temple has been built since the previous dynasty, and in this dynasty, it has been expanded several times, and now the size is comparable to half of the palace city. The courtyard with blue tiles and white walls on the east side is all for the pilgrims who come to the door of the temple, and the courtyard is roughly divided into three classes according to the identity of the pilgrims, the best is the courtyard of the five entrances, which is planted with Bodhi and red beans; the first class is the courtyard of the three entrances, which is planted with worry-free trees; and the last is a room for one person, which is only similar to the monk's dormitory.

The saint lived in the courtyard planted with Bodhi, and the queen, the virtuous concubine, and Lin Qing, Meng Hui and others were scattered around. During the day, it is to watch the flowers and enjoy the snow, or play chess and cook tea, for a while it seems that the battle in the palace does not exist, that is, Queen Yuwen met Concubine Lin Xian when she was picking up red beans, and the two of them can also talk a few words, and it seems that even the old grudges of the past have dissipated.

On October 25, the clouds were thick, and I felt cold as soon as I got together.

In the house of the Ji family, Ji Miao was served by the maid and changed into a filial piety clothes, and drank some white rice porridge slightly, this is the last day of the funeral, they were originally going to help the coffin to return to their hometown, but now Jinzhou soldiers are constantly fighting, and they can only temporarily place A-Niang's coffin in the Big Buddha Temple like his uncle.

"Take that set of plain silver and jade Buddha's hand. After changing her clothes, the maid combed a lily bun for Ji Miao, and the hair hanging from her ears was braided into a fine braid, which fell on her chest, and the maid came to her with makeup and let her choose jewelry, Ji Miao thought for a while and spoke. Originally, she kept filial piety and was not in time, so she should comb a double-ring bun on her head, only using a white head rope, but today is different from the past, she and her brother want to send her father to shave the ceremony, and then a mountain gate will be separated, their brother and sister are still in the world, but the father can only be an outsider - he can't see her marrying and combing her hair, and it is also a wish to see her hairstyle after combing and combing.

"Take the silver fox fur coat and put it on for the second lady. "The sky is dark, even the morning is like dusk, I am afraid that the snow will fall, Ji Miao stood under the porch, waiting for the little maid to take the umbrella to cover the snow, this Ji Yan cleaned up and came to see her, and frowned when she saw her thin clothes.

"My brother is also wearing a padded filial piety robe, how can I wear a fox fur?" Ji Miao shook her head, but she didn't want to.

"You are a little lady, your blood is not as good as a man, how is it good to be sick when you are cold?" Regarding his father's decision to become a monk, Ji Yan still didn't know how to tell his sister, but unexpectedly, Ji Miao had a delicate heart, only to see him silently tie his hair and wear a crown the next day, he secretly guessed a few points, and knocked on the side of his aunt to find out a few words, what else did he not understand. But she also understands that if it weren't for the fact that there would be no room for things to turn around, Father and Brother would never be like this, just turned their backs and cried, but they didn't say a word in their mouths.

"Brother is always reasonable. Ji Miao turned sideways slightly, her eyes were already slightly red, she paused slightly, and a slight smile appeared on her face, "Now that I am getting more and more tired, only my father is now going to the Big Buddha Temple, are the monk's shoes and monk's clothes all available?"

"A few days ago, I explained to the elder Kongnian of the Big Buddha Temple, and I will provide more incense in the house every month, and I will bother my sister. Ji Yan saw that she frowned slightly, but she didn't want to see her crying, so she didn't see it, and only whispered a few words.

The two brothers and sisters gossiped a few words, and one should go to Wanjuan Hall.

However, after more than ten days of hard work, Ji Yan turned most of his hair white, and now he was wearing a dark cyan coat, and his expression was becoming more and more withered. When I saw a pair of children coming in, my face was like a quiet spring, and I didn't see any smile or sorrow.

"Daddy. Ji Yan and Ji Miao saluted one after another.

"Daddy, did you go to the Big Buddha Temple with your son or did you come one step behind?" Ji Yan saw that he didn't speak, and even the tea in the azure official kiln tea cup placed in front of the red sandalwood table didn't know how long it was cold.

“...... Honestly, Ah Miao. Ji Yan saw a pair of children standing in front of him, his heart was sour, but he believed in Buddhism since he was a child, and he traveled the world as a teenager to pursue the true meaning of Buddhism, but he just met the woman who was destined to be filled, his heart was so small, and even Buddhism was put aside.

But now, the woman is gone, as if she suddenly broke into his life, taking away the last trace of enthusiasm, he knows that he is not competent as a father, and he will lose his father when the two children lose their mother, but he has never felt that life is so barren and boring, whether it is reading, appreciating flowers, drinking tea, playing chess...... In the past few days, listening to the Sanskrit sound in the mourning hall, he repeated the daily life of life, but in the end, he found that in addition to the Dharma, there was no other place that could allow him to get rid of the pain of losing that woman for a short time.
