Xun Niang lived in the Moon Tower on the right,

Of the servants sent over by the Yin family, half of them were collected in Zhuhua Garden, and the other half, Xie Youlan picked some people from the ministry to make up for it, and Zheng Sui gave the personal maid no clothes to the inquiring mother.

I don't know how Xie Youlan told the Yin family, but later, the Yin family didn't look for anything else.

It is said that Buddhism prevails in the south, and Kyoto Jiankang is a temple everywhere, due to this atmosphere, although Linru is not as good as Jiankang, there are many temples, Xihua Temple in the military blade mountain, is one of the most famous, the Namor master who opened the mountain and built the temple, came from the north, and preached Buddhism in the Jianchu Temple in Jiankang.

Three years ago, Master Namor went out to travel and promote Buddhism, and when he passed through the Junjian Mountain, he stopped and built a temple here in the middle of its mountainous terrain, with its peaks and peaks.

Because of the fame of Master Namor, and Wang Shishilang and Zheng Wulang to help, it only lasted one year, Xihua Temple began to take shape, and now it is the peak of incense, becoming a famous temple in the south, and pilgrims come and go.

The only thing that is not beautiful is that Xihua Temple is a little far away from the Zheng family manor.

Xihua Temple is located in Feng County, the southern end of Xingyang County, about 150 miles away, take a car back and forth, just on the road, take a carriage, the fastest also takes six days to work.

As soon as I heard Zheng Sui say that he was going to Xihua Temple to do the Dharma of death, Zheng Wei was extremely disagreeable at first, two days ago, when the Huan family sent a matchmaker to ask for the date, the wedding date was scheduled for the 29th of this month, and it was really not suitable to go out at the moment, but in the end, Zheng Wei did not stop it.

"Let the gentleman accompany you. "The gentleman is the eighth man of the fourth room, and the young son of Zheng Shiyi Lang.

Zheng Wei's voice fell. At a glance, he saw that Zheng Sui was about to push back, and said busily: "Brother hasn't seen the mage for several months, and there is just a word. I wanted to ask the master for advice, but my brother couldn't pull away and couldn't go in person, so I asked the gentleman to run for me by the way. ”

At this point, Zheng Sui knew in his heart that it would be useless to say more, if he only let the servants and guards follow. The fifth brother would not be relieved no matter what, so he answered.

However, Rao is so. Zheng Wei looked at Zheng Sui's expression, depressed, and still a little uneasy, so he persuaded: "Now your wedding date is approaching." will be married to Huan Saburo for a hundred years. With the appointment of the white head, Ah Mei should be happy, this goes to Xihua Temple, for the brother to hope that when Ah Mei returns, he can smile brightly, and his worries are gone. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Sui's expression stiffened slightly, and he responded with a hello. But he was busy looking away, something was wrong. I don't think about it, every time I think about it, I often can't slow down for a few days, "I will." ”

Go for peace of mind.

Zheng Wei didn't understand, he knew Zheng Sui's temperament better, Wang Shishilang went suddenly, this short year, he couldn't slow down at all, he originally felt that this family affair was too hasty, and the marriage period was a little urgent, but this marriage was set by the eldest brother, and after the letter of appointment was decided, it was transferred to him to handle it, and in the past six months, he had to delay the marriage, and after mentioning it a few times, the Huan family had no room for negotiation, and thought that Zheng Sui was going to marry after all, and he couldn't get too stiff with the Huan family.

I had scruples, so I had to give up.

——*——*——

Pomegranate flowers win over fire in May.

Three-day drive, rush to Xihua Temple, it is in the scorching June, the sun is like fire, but the years in the mountains are cool, it seems to make the season slow for half a month, the pomegranate flowers in the temple are blooming, the red and bright flowers are hanging all over the branches.

After Zheng Sui arrived at the monastery, the next day, he asked Master Namor to do the ritual of dying, set up a death card for Wang Shishilang to worship in the temple, and recited the death mantra for three days in a row.

It was night, Yiren fell asleep, the long shadow fluttered, waved his hand and said goodbye, leaving only the trace of white clothes.

When Zheng Sui woke up, she was shocked to realize that the person in the dream had not even shown his face, but she felt that that person was Wang Shishilang.

Hugged the hemp was sat for half a night.

Before going down the mountain the next day, in the main hall of the temple, I asked for a lot.

Two lines of signature: The past cannot be chased, and the future can still be sought.

Zheng Sui got the signature and put it in his hand directly, without asking Master Namor to unsign it.

Master Namor also did not ask Zheng Sui to sign the letter, "In front of the death card, the old man will send someone to take care of the donor, may the deceased be in peace and ascend to bliss as soon as possible, but the donor is in the red dust, the dust is not full, how can he bear to disturb the underground soul again, so that it can not rest in peace, and in the coming day, the donor will cultivate the dust of his life, which is the time when the merit is complete." ”

"My Buddha is compassionate, and the Dharma is boundless. ”

After speaking, he recited again, "Amitabha." ”

"There's Master Lao. Zheng Sui said lightly, this temple was built with the Zheng family's funding, and Master Namor intersected with the fifth brother, she had no doubt that the master's words to persuade her were most likely the meaning of the fifth brother.

Early in the morning, it is still early, there are few pilgrims in the temple, out of the main hall, only a few people come to the hall to incense in front of the near, look up, as far as the eye can see, the main entrance of the main hall is facing the col opposite, on the right side of the col, there are several mountain peaks that are continuous, the peaks are towering into the clouds, and the mountain peaks on the left are low and gentle, among them, there is a mountain top with green smoke curling up.

"Are there any residents in the mountains over there?"

Master Namor followed Zheng Sui's gaze, his expression narrowed, and he saw that there were no idle people beside him, hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice, "There is a Taoist temple on the top of that mountain. ”

Zheng Sui sighed softly, looking a little careless, "It's the first time I've heard that temples and Taoist temples can coexist in the same mountain." ”

"Buddhism is boundless, all-encompassing, this military blade mountain collection of mountains and rivers of the essence of the spirit, can build a dojo here, are all fate, do not care whether the form is a temple, or a Taoist temple. ”

Zheng Sui didn't think much about it, lowered his eyebrows, rubbed the signature in his hand, and went down the mountain with the servant who went up the mountain.

The stone steps stretch out at the foot, and the mountain road is rugged, with nine twists and eighteen turns.

The sun gradually rises, the scorching sun shines directly from the sky, the light shines on everything, and on the way down, the pilgrims entering the mountain gradually increase.

"The staircase is too narrow. ”

As soon as he gave way to a group of people entering the mountain, Chenfeng sideways to protect Zheng Sui, but he still accidentally hit someone on the shoulder. I couldn't help but complain.

Zheng Sui carefully descended the steps, and when he stopped slightly, he raised his eyes to look at the morning breeze. said: "This place is originally remote, and the stairs that the three of them pass through are no longer narrow, and they are not those big temples in Jiankang. ”

"If I knew this, I should have asked Hachiro to bring some guards over in advance to open the way, no matter how I said it, there was no reason for the little lady to make way for people. This temple goes to Zheng's house every year to make a lot of offerings. ”

"You know. Xin Yi next to her glared at Chenfeng, she looked at Zheng Sui's face and instantly felt a little bad before she spoke.

Zheng Sui's face was indeed a little stiff. His eyes were fixed on the five people who were walking in front of him, their faces were swarthy, their clothes were ragged, and they were full of dirt. Long. Only then did he say loudly: "I heard my brother say that in the past two years, the year in the south has not been good, there have been droughts and floods, and there have been many displaced people in various places. ”

These words made Chenfeng suddenly lose his voice, her family has been a trilogy for generations, she was born in the Zheng family since she was a child, and she does not worry about food and clothing. When he was older, he arranged to serve by Zheng Sui's side. As for the hardships of the world outside, I have only mentioned it in the mouths of others, so when I saw the oncoming people, my brows furrowed.

They were on the mountain, but there was not a single guard left.

The gentleman and the guards remained in the guest house at the foot of the mountain.

The four servant women who followed behind Zheng Sui were hesitating to step forward and block those people on the side of the road, when they heard Zheng Sui say, "Let's avoid the cedar forest and let them go first." ”

"Little lady. Morrowind didn't think it was necessary, and there were six sturdy servants in their group.

Zheng Sui turned around and walked towards a flat terrain in the forest beside the road, frightened the four servants behind him, and hurriedly followed, and the first two hurriedly stepped forward, leveled the weeds and rattans that were tall enough to make a road.

The morning sun, through the leaves, shines into the forest, only to see a beam of light scattered into a piece, light and dust in the air undulating and swaying, everywhere you go, it seems to be paved with a layer of golden light, brilliant, the breeze blows, the leaves swing, the air flows with the smell of the soil and grass in the mountains, is a unique natural freshness.

There are also branches and birds singing endlessly.

The scene in front of you is set off by the artificially created natural scenery in the manor, like clouds and mud, incomparable.

This is the true natural scene, created in accordance with the creation of heaven and earth.

"Little lady, please wait. ”

A clear voice sounded behind him, which made Zheng Sui come back to his senses and pause, and also made the servants who followed Zheng Sui look vigilant.

Zheng Sui looked up, it was the five people who came over, and when he got closer, he found that it was five young Xiaolang, ranging from ten to twenty years old, and the one who walked in the front, tall and thin like a bamboo pole, could no longer see his face, only those eyes, bright and clear, glowing.

looks like such a pair of good eyes, how can he be a person who has been sleepy for a long time, Zheng Sui said strangely in his heart.

"This has a simple policy, dedicated to the lady, and the lady is invited to look at it. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Sui realized that the man was actually holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

She remembers that since the beginning of the current dynasty, with the advent of rattan paper, paper has been widely used in writing, replacing bamboo slips, and nowadays, the Zheng family rarely uses bamboo slips in their daily life.

"Xiaolang, do you want to submit an article?" Zheng Sui's heart moved, his eyes burned, and he was a way for talented and ambitious children of poor families to recommend themselves to the family in order to seek a life and future.

Xiao Langjun in front of him smiled, did not dodge, and did not deny, "I have heard that there are many disciples of the Zheng family, and there is a talent to learn, I am willing to give it a try to fight the blue eyes of the nobles." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Sui's eyes suddenly showed surprise, "You have been waiting here for four days?" Since they knew that her surname was Zheng, they must have followed the day she came, so without waiting for the other party to respond, he said: "The Zheng family has Lang Jun in the guest house at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Lang wants to submit a text, just take the bamboo slip and go to the guest house." ”

"There are more than forty guards at the foot of the mountain. ”

Just this sentence, Zheng Sui already understood, a few of them described it like this, it is difficult to see the gentleman, I am afraid that the guards will be sent away as beggars, "This simple policy, I will accept it first, and ask Xiao Langjun to inquire about the news at the north gate of the Zheng family manor in five days, and someone will entertain him at that time." With that, let Xin Yi step forward to pick up the simplification.

After the little Langjun handed over Jian Ce to Xin Yi, he hurriedly bowed, "There is a Lao lady, if you can enter the Zheng family, you will be grateful." ”

Zheng Sui returned to the salute.

That Xiao Langjun took the four people behind him and went up a few steps to make way out, "I've delayed the lady's trip." "I made another gesture of please.

"You are not a person who has been trapped for a long time. After Zheng Sui finished speaking, he noticed that Xiao Langjun was dressed in brown, and his clothes were so rotten that he could barely get up, so he asked Zhang Yu in front of him to take out two hangings of money and give them to that Xiao Langjun, "I will respect Luo Yi first, and then respect people, and this copper coin will be given to Xiao Langjun to buy two long shirts." ”

That Xiao Langjun was taken aback, the smile on his face froze, but he didn't excuse himself, took it in astonishment, and watched Zheng Sui and his party leave.

Fortunately, not pedantic.

Those who can recommend themselves will not be pedantic people. (To be continued.) )
