Chapter 39: Greasy

Bizhu helped Minglan comb her hair, her black hair was thick and soft like silk, Bizhu said while combing, "The girl likes flame forehead makeup, and she thinks it is troublesome to repaint every day, so she paints it with a special pigment, and it will not fade for a year and a half."

Hongying looked disappointed.

After dressing up, we have breakfast.

The old lady paid homage to the Buddha, and fasted on the fifteenth day of the new year, and now went to the Great Zen Temple to repay her vows, and she was even more vegetarian, and a table was full of vegetarians.

With a bowl of porridge and two small steamed buns, Minglan got up and went to Changsong Courtyard.

Hongying followed her out, and Minglan said, "Your injuries are not yet healed, stay in the house to recuperate." ”

Hongying's eyes were red, her injuries had been recuperated for so many days, and she had already recovered, did the girl not like her, or did she not serve in front of her these days, and she was squeezed by Bizhu and had no place?

Bizhu was happy, and wanted to turn around and go back to the house to get some money, maybe she had something to buy in the Great Zen Temple.

It's just that as soon as she turned around, Minglan called Sydney over, "You go to the Great Zen Temple with me." ”

The pie suddenly fell from the sky, smashing Sydney dizzy, happily closing her mouth, her bright eyes bent into a small crescent, for fear that Minglan would regret it, and the one that nodded was like a chicken pecking rice.

Bizhu's face was also full of disappointment, the girl didn't let Hongying follow, because she was afraid that her injury would not be healed, and she was not sick or in pain, why didn't the girl let her go to the Great Zen Temple with her, but let Sydney follow?

Hongying thought that Bizhu had robbed her of her position, and her heart was not smooth, but now she saw that Minglan didn't let Bizhu follow, and she felt much better.

Minglan really wanted Bizhu to go to the Great Zen Temple with her, but in her previous life, Bizhu was in the Great Zen Temple, and she was taboo in her heart, if she could, she would never want Bizhu to go to the Great Zen Temple in her life.

Minglan walked forward, and Sydney followed behind.

At the gate of Changsong Courtyard, Minglan met Gu Yinlan and the others, all dressed up in a refreshing manner, not like they were going to pray for blessings, but more like going to a banquet.

Minglan saw their dresses in their eyes, and they also reviewed Minglan from head to toe, Gu Yinlan smiled, "The second sister's flame forehead makeup is really beautiful, but you are dressed like this these days, we are tired of seeing it, it is rare to go to the Great Zen Temple, you don't change your dress?"

Minglan touched his forehead and said with a smile, "This flame forehead makeup is not painted with cinnabar, it will be difficult to fade for a year and a half, and I can't change it if I want to." ”

Gu Rulan was surprised, "What did the second sister draw with, it's so difficult to wash off?"

Minglan shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed, "It's too late to regret it now, and I've painted it, but fortunately, it's my favorite forehead makeup, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”

She said this, Gu Yinlan snickered, the flame forehead makeup is beautiful, but everything is tired of looking at it for a long time, it is estimated that after a year and a half, the flame forehead makeup should be one of the forehead makeup she hates the most.

A few people talked and laughed into the house, and in the house, the wives of the four rooms were all there.

But the eldest lady didn't go, she had to stay in the house, in case there was a guest or something, someone would greet her.

The maid in the front yard came to tell her that the carriage was ready, and the fourth lady helped the old lady to get up.

Minglan followed Mu and asked, "Mother, why didn't Mother Zhao follow?"

Mu patted Minglan holding her hand and said, "Mother Zhao went to Zhuangzi to deliver something to your ninth sister." ”

Originally, the Mu family was also going, but the old lady temporarily decided to go to the Great Zen Temple, and because Gu She's promotion went to repay the vow, she couldn't get out, so she could only let Zhao's mother run away.

Originally, they all sent someone to send something to Gu Yunlan at the beginning of the month, but this time, it was Mu who was not at ease and decided to go temporarily, Minglan suddenly went to visit Brother Mao in the Hou Mansion of Yi'an, and inadvertently found that he was being cheapened, Gu Yunlan was on Zhuangzi, and Mu was careful that those maids and wives took the opportunity to bully her, so that Zhao's mother went quietly and caught her off guard.

Minglan didn't say anything, Mother Zhao just ran every once in a while, and she could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, she was still trying to figure out how to pick Gu Yunlan back from Zhuangzi, but after thinking about it for a few days, she didn't have any good ideas.

Several wives sat in a soft sedan chair, and Minglan and them took a carriage and set off towards the Great Zen Temple.

More than an hour later, the carriage arrived at the foot of Wanglong Mountain where the Great Zen Temple is located, the reason why it is called Wanglong Mountain is because standing in the Great Zen Temple to look into the distance, when the smoke and rain are hazy, the distant mountain is like a giant dragon, the momentum is magnificent, the three words of Wanglong Mountain are still the name given by Emperor Taizu.

The incense of the Great Zen Temple is prosperous, the pilgrims who come and go are endless, now it has already entered the winter, although the weather is not cold, but the leaves on other mountains are withered, Wanglong Mountain is a piece of rich, evergreen.

The Great Zen Temple is hidden between the ancient trees in the sky, a thousand-year-old temple, solemn and solemn, the Sanskrit sound of the empty valley, washing people's hearts.

As soon as he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Minglan smelled the sandalwood wafting out of the temple, which was rarely good.

In the open space not far away is a bazaar, where there are many ordinary people, and there are even more on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

After getting off the carriage, everyone walked forward, climbed the long steps, and arrived in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

On the empty ground, a large copper furnace hugged by one or three people, the pattern is simple, and the incense inserted by the pilgrims is burned inside, and the incense is curling and rushing into the sky.

Jingningbo Mansion was going to come to offer incense, and the eldest lady sent someone to say hello early and prepare a meal in advance.

The old lady entered the hall, knelt in front of the Buddha statue several feet high, and sincerely recited the scriptures.

When the old lady gets up every day, she has to bow down for a quarter of an hour, and then bow before going to bed, often kneeling, and her posture is the most pious.

Minglan and other juniors, how can they kneel for so long, unless they are punished for kneeling, they can't kneel for a while, they feel that their knees are sore, and they can't help but want to rub their knees, but they don't dare to move.

After a quarter of an hour, when the old lady got up, they could get up.

Can't kneel for too long, there are other pilgrims outside to come in to pray for blessings, unless it is the emperor and queen, and some noble princesses, otherwise the Great Zen Temple will not allow other pilgrims to come.

Kneeling in the main hall, donated incense money, the Great Zen Temple also arranged for the master to give a lecture to the old lady, which is the most boring, fortunately, the old lady as long as the Mu family accompanied them, do not restrain Minglan them, let them play by themselves, most of the hour after the meal, and then set off to review home.

The scenery of the Great Zen Temple is beautiful, there are as many as 18 scenic spots, and they can't go around for a day, not to mention that they only have less than an hour.

Gu Yinlan and the others were not interested in the scenery, and they were more interested in the market below, so they went to the market with Gu Xuelan and Gu Yulan.

Gu Rulan and Minglan are together, planning to walk around, in addition to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there are side halls, apse, and a Zen room for pilgrims to rest, in terms of size, it is as big as Jingningbo Mansion.

Dazen Temple, not to mention coming every month, there are always seven or eight times a year, it is to those marriage trees, cast copper plates to make wishes, throw ribbons, and write wishes...... They've all played it, even several times.

When he saw others playing, Minglan couldn't be interested, but it was Sydney, and it was the first time to come back, and everything was new.

The two walked forward, chatting while looking at the scenery.

Gu Rulan saw the direction in which Minglan was going, so he said, "Second sister, are you going to see Tieqiao?"
