Mei Yixuan tossed and turned, and fell asleep for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early the next morning, Mei Yixuan took his younger brother to finish freshening up, and after eating breakfast, he immediately gathered all the people in the courtyard and solemnly instructed: "I will take Chunlan to follow my mother to Longquan Temple today to offer incense, and everyone in the family should be vigilant." ”
"Yes!" everyone bowed and replied.
Mei Yixuan looked at Mama Ye and Liu Wu and said, "Mama Ye is fully responsible for everything in Ziyue Garden, and Liu Wu takes care of the fifth young master." ”
"Yes!" Mama Ye and Liu Wu bowed in response.
Mei Yixuan continued: "Maybe I won't be able to come back today, maybe I will stay there, Mama Zhang, Mama Zhou, the door at home must be watched tightly, before I come back, no one should open the door, especially at night, listen to some movement." In a word, if something goes wrong with the Fifth Young Master when I come back, I will never be spared!
"Remember!" everyone replied in unison.
Mama Ye said solemnly: "Miss, don't worry, the slave and maid promise not to let the fifth young master make a mistake!"
Mei Shengjie leaned closely on Mei Yixuan, raised his little face, and begged in a low voice: "Sister, Jie'er also wants to go, take Jie'er with you." ”
Mei Yixuan squatted down, hugged his little body, and said with a smile: "Jie'er has grown up, don't you have to be obedient?"
Mei Shengjie took a step back gloomily, afraid that his sister would worry, and showed a bright smile.
Mei Yixuan took Chunlan and hurried to Tingxue Hall, the ladies who went out to offer incense today will definitely meet in Tingxue Hall and say goodbye to the old lady before leaving.
Sure enough, in the courtyard of Tingxue Hall, almost all the ladies who were going out of the house arrived, only Mei Yixuan came the latest, that is, the old lady was standing at the door of the main house, waiting for her.
Mei Yixuan was a little embarrassed, this is too early, right? But she came over after breakfast, didn't they eat breakfast? Actually, she didn't know. The maidens and concubines are counting on the small kitchen to eat, and the other masters have their own small kitchens, so they naturally eat as early as they want. And Mei Suxuan, in order to arrive early, didn't eat breakfast at all, only ate some snacks indiscriminately, who came like Mei Yixuan after eating breakfast?
Mei Yixuan was a little uncomfortable no matter how thick-skinned she was, she smiled apologetically at everyone, and saluted one by one: "The granddaughter asks for peace for her grandmother, for her mother, for her second aunt, Yixuan has seen her sister-in-law." Sorry, grandmother granddaughter is late again. ”
The old lady knew why she was late, and she didn't say anything, but just told the eldest lady: "Daughter-in-law, pay attention to safety along the way, try to keep a low profile, don't have disputes with people, and everything is based on safety when you go out." ”
"Yes, daughter-in-law remembered!" replied the eldest lady with a bow.
At this time, Mei Yixuan felt that it was not easy to go out, and felt that the opportunity could not be lost, so she hurriedly saluted the old lady: "Grandmother, there have been some problems with my aunt's shop recently, and my granddaughter wants to go and see it, after all, my aunt is such a shop, and my granddaughter doesn't want my grandfather to come back one day and complain." ”
The old lady glanced at the eldest lady and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you are in charge." ”
The eldest lady said respectfully: "The daughter-in-law listens to her mother!"
Seeing that the eldest lady did not object, the old lady nodded and agreed: "Okay, you can go back from the temple to incense, just don't delay, come back early." ”
Mei Yixuan happily replied, "Yes! “
The old lady waved her hand and said, "It's not early, you go out, so it's noon when you arrive at the temple, and you won't be able to catch up with the food in the temple if it's late." “
So the group said goodbye to the old lady, got into the carriage one after another, went out of the mansion, and headed northwest.
Because Mei Yixuan said that she wanted to go to see the shop, the eldest lady generously arranged a carriage for her, and Mei Yixuan and Chunlan enjoyed a special treatment. It wasn't the last Meili who was driving the car. This time, the coachman was a burly man named Mei Hai.
The eldest lady Cui Yurou, Mei Yingxuan and Mei Suxuan took a carriage, the second lady Wang Wenjing, Mei Bixuan's mother and daughter and her personal maid took a carriage, and finally the eldest lady, Mei Yingxuan, Mei Suxuan's personal maid and several rough mothers-in-law took a carriage.
The eldest grandmother, Wen Yirong, was uncomfortable and suspected that she might be pregnant, so she did not travel with her this time.
Meifu sent an escort of fifty people, and the leader of the escort on this trip was still Merlin.
Four carriages went straight to the West City Gate in the city, and after half an hour, they went out of the West City Gate and drove to the direction of Longquan Temple.
Longquan Temple is located at the eastern foot of Cuiwei Mountain in Xishan, which was originally built in the Tang Dynasty and is an ancient Buddhist temple with a long history.
It is said that Longquan Temple enshrines one of the two Buddha teeth that survived in the world after the Buddha's nirvana, which is extremely precious and famous far and wide, and is also the main reason why pilgrims from a radius of hundreds of miles come one after another.
The mountain gate hall of Longquan Temple faces southeast and is located at the foot of the mountain. There are five temples in the temple, there are pure industry hall, Yunshui hall, great compassion courtyard, fish pond courtyard, tower courtyard, the building is majestic, the momentum is solemn.
When Mei Yixuan and the others arrived, it was already noon, although they were riding in the carriage all the way, and there were screens installed in the carriage, they were still choked by the heat.
Everyone got out of the carriage, because Meifu greeted them in advance, and at the gate of the temple, the presiding officer of Longquan Temple, Huitong Zen Master, sent his subordinate Xiao Shami Wujing to wait for them.
Surrounded by the maid and the woman, they hurriedly entered the temple gate, and went straight to the Great Compassion Temple under the guidance of the little novice.
The Great Compassion Temple is in the third courtyard of Longquan Temple, there is the Guanyin Hall in the south, there is the Buddha Hall in the north, and there are 14 accompanying rooms in the east and west. The pine and cypress in the courtyard are lush and green, the towering ancient trees are luxuriant, the fragrant clouds are swirling, quiet and serene, which makes people involuntarily converge the breath, move the lotus step lightly, and behave properly.
Because Longquan Temple is famous far and wide, although the eldest lady greeted in advance, but did not ask for the temple to be closed, so, today there is an endless stream of people who enter the temple to incense, very lively. However, despite the large number of people, they did not hear the noise, and all the people who entered the temple lowered their eyebrows and raised their eyes, with a trace of solemnity, solemnity, and sacredness on their faces.
Mei Yixuan followed the eldest lady to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva first, put on incense, and bowed to the Buddha in the worship hall, the eldest lady told everyone not to go far, she went to meet Huitong Zen Master.
"Today, everyone is tired, so I won't go back, my brother and sister take everyone to the guest house to rest, and I will go to see Zen Master Huitong. "The eldest lady Cui Yurou came out of the Great Compassion House and said to everyone.
The eldest lady wanted to ask to see Zen Master Huitong and wanted to visit the Buddhist hall dedicated to the relics. Because the relics are so precious that not everyone can be lucky enough to see them, she just wants to try them.
The second lady Wang Wenjing agreed, and led everyone to break up with the eldest lady under the guidance of the little novice Wujing, and walked to the backyard of Longquan Temple.
On the way to the guest house, the second lady and her entourage met the family of Cui Lanxuan, the second assistant of the cabinet, who also came to Shangxiang, that is, the family of the eldest lady Cui Yurou. (To be continued.) )
