Chapter 49: Shelter from the Rain
Hanyu looked for Mama Han because Mama Han had helped her many times in her previous life, and she felt that Mama Han would be willing to help her.
There was only one time in this life, and even though it was once, she was still favored.
Hanyu remembers clearly that she had just turned four years old the year before last, and the weather was cool in autumn and the wind was cold. Hanyu heard that her grandmother was infected with the wind and cold, so she came to visit her grandmother, and followed her maid to help her grandmother decoct the medicine, and sent the medicine to her grandmother with her own hands, but accidentally knocked over the medicine in her hand and wet her grandmother's clothes. Her grandmother disliked her for being clumsy and asked her to kneel in the temple for an hour. Hanyu blamed herself and knelt obediently, her legs were numb from the cold, her hands and feet were cold, but even so she still knelt stubbornly, and she didn't fall down. Halfway through, Mama Han came over and added a soft cushion under her legs, fed her a cup of hot tea, and secretly put a small stove next to her legs.
Hanyu watched her mother eat in small bites in the courtyard, and then turned to leave. She thought that when she grew up, it would be fine, she would grow up, and she would protect her mother. When she grows up, she will not let her mother be wronged again, she wants her mother to live a peaceful life.
She turned to leave, and at this moment she felt that her back was wet and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and she raised her arm to wipe her forehead with a silk handkerchief. In the scorching summer, it was already the time of Shen, and she had stood under such a big sun for nearly half an hour, if it weren't for the green shade above her head, she would have fainted from the summer heat.
Mrs. Yan was sick for half a month, and they were a month late before they were ready to go home.
The rainy season is coming, and the weather in Bianzhou is like a child's face, changing rapidly. So they picked a sunny day to pack up their things and leave. But who knew that halfway through the journey, a strong wind blew, followed by dark clouds in the sky, and heavy rain fell. The heavy rain came unprepared, and on the carriage sat the old lady Yan, who was sick and had just recovered, and the second lady Yan who had a big belly, and the four young masters, all of whom were old and weak women and children, so naturally they couldn't continue to hurry, so they had to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Further ahead is the Taiping Xingguo Temple, which is the temple that the emperor has specially sealed after ascending the throne, and is named after the year, which still shows the special relationship between this temple and the royal family.
The coachman hurriedly drove the carriage to the gate of Taiping Xingguo Temple.
Two monks trotted over in the temple, they were holding oil-paper umbrellas in their hands, and when they learned that it was the female dependents of the Yan family, they personally took the master of the Yan family and went all the way to the side hall, so that they could hide from the rain here and rest.
Mrs. Yan and Lu were helped to sit on the upper seat, Lu's belly is now round and protruding, and after walking so far, his legs are also extremely heavy, one hand supports his waist, and the other hand holds his big belly, sitting down tiredly, panting lightly.
Mama Han took out two pieces of silver and gave them to the monk who led the way, "Thank you two masters, we are all drenched in the rain, please get some ginger soup to warm our bodies." ”
The two monks put their palms together, and when they spread them out, their hands were already empty, and one of the monks put their hands together and said, "Donors, please wait a while, and the little monk will go and get it." ”
"I'm tired. ”
Hanyu was drenched in the rain and blown by the wind, and at the moment her body was a little cold, her throat was itchy, and she stood at the door and coughed twice.
Lin Suxin bent over and hugged her in her arms, "Nan." ”
Hanyu raised her lips and smiled soothingly, "Mother, I'm fine." She stood at the door and pointed to the main hall in front, "Mother, let's go to the main hall in front to worship a Buddha." ”
"It's a bit stormy outside, so let's go after this storm. ”
Hanyu poked his head out and saw that the side hall was connected to the main hall, and a long eaves led to the main hall. She took Lin Suxin's hand and shook it gently, "Mother, go, we won't be drenched in the rain when we go down." ”
Hanyu actually didn't want to stay in the same room with her grandmother and felt depressed.
"Good. Lin Suxin agreed, turned around and walked in front of Mrs. Yan, bent down and said, "Mother, Hanyu and I went to the main hall in front to worship the Buddha, what the mother wanted, the daughter-in-law begged for the mother." ”
"I will ask for whatever I want, and I don't need you to do much. Old Madam Yan's hoarse voice spoke.
The atmosphere was a little stiff, and Lin Suxin paused before speaking, "Mother, the daughter-in-law went there." ”
Old Madam Yan didn't speak, she didn't even look at them, she supported her head with one hand, her eyes narrowed, and she seemed to be recuperating.
Hanyu's voice was a little louder, "Grandmother, my mother and I will go to worship the Buddha, and I will ask for a long life for my grandmother." After she finished speaking, she pulled her mother out of the side hall.
In the main hall gate of Taiping Xingguo Temple, there are several men, a man in green clothes stands in front with his hands behind his back, his face is hidden in the dark and gloomy hall, and he is not clear in the temple, behind him is the abbot of the temple, wearing a robe, and then there are two men in black standing not far from the back, standing straight, and the posture is not moving at all.
"Whose lady is here to take shelter from the rain?" a deep voice suddenly sounded in the main hall.
"The old man wants to know, so he sent someone to ask. ”
The man in Tsing Yi raised his hand, "Forget it, you don't need to ask, just ask if you find it boring." ”
A gray-clothed monk came from outside the eaves, and when he saw the person standing at the door, he folded his hands and bent down.
The man in Tsing Yi lifted his footsteps, turned his figure, turned around and took two steps back, indicating that he let the abbot feel free.
The abbot walked to the door, "What is the matter with me?"
"Abbot, the eldest lady of the Yan family wants to come here to worship the Buddha......"
Before the gray-clothed monk finished speaking, the abbot reprimanded, "How can you collide with your nobles here?"
The abbot was scolding in a low voice, but he heard a deep voice behind him, "The eldest lady of the Yan family?"
"Sir. The abbot turned back.
"The eldest lady of the Yan family, that is the eldest daughter-in-law of Master Taifu. The man in Tsing Yi said slowly, and his deep voice echoed in the main hall, "Since she wants to come here to worship the Buddha, let her come, don't stop her." ”
"Do you want to sit in the back for a while?" the abbot meant, but he wanted to go to the back and avoid it?
The man in Tsing Yi responded in a low voice, raised his feet and walked to the back of the main hall, and the two men in black also followed.
"There's no one here, little master, didn't you just say that there are distinguished guests here, so we can't disturb them?" Hanyu's soft voice sounded in the main hall.
"Little donor, the distinguished guest heard that someone worshiped the Buddha and took the initiative to go to the apse to avoid it. ”
"Please thank the noble man on our behalf. ”
Lin Suxin's soft voice fell, and she only heard the sound of slight footsteps coming from the back of the hall. She looked up and saw a man standing next to the tall Buddha statue, walking slowly towards them.
At this time, the sound of rain outside gradually decreased, only the sound of dripping water on the eaves could be heard, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, the sky gradually became brighter, and the scenery in the hall became clearer.
Hanyu looked up, only to see that the man was dressed in a green shirt, and then looked at the man's face, and met his eyes in an instant, his eyes were slender, and his eyes were cold, he also glanced at it casually, and his eyes quickly turned to her mother.
There was a faint panic on her mother's face, and Hanyu could see it clearly, she wondered, who was this, why did her mother panic when she saw it, and she would be afraid?
