66. Make a wish
Yes, after being trapped in the capital for a year and a half, it is easy to get out of the crowded house in the cramped narrow alley, so why slow down? Zhenshu suddenly became ambitious, pointed to his skirt and said: "I'm still wearing thick pants underneath, and this cotton shirt has forks on both sides. โ
Yu Yichen turned over and dismounted, took her and jumped down, untied her skirt and pressed it under the saddle, and then hugged her and rode up. She was already as light as a swallow, and she used her feet to jump up and split her legs and sit steadily, and then Sama ran. Although the horse cannot be compared with the donkey, this horse has a supple temperament and can run very lightly.
It was getting noon, Yu Yichen pointed to a place on the left side of the road and looked at the smoke from a distance and said: "There is Wanshou Temple, do you want to go to Shangzhuxiang and have a meal before leaving?" โ
Zhenshu had the heart to ask for a peace charm for Zhenyuan, and responded: "Okay." โ
They turned their horses' heads and ran straight towards the smoky place, but the Wanshou Temple was close in front of them, but there was a long way to go. Besides, Zhenshu's horse couldn't go fast, and it was already past noon by then. A fat monk in a robe was waiting at the entrance of the temple, and when he saw Yu Yichen, he hurriedly ran over with a few steps and folded his hands and bowed: "Amitabha, my father-in-law has always been good?" โ
Yu Yichen nodded slightly, and led Zhenshu into the temple. The fat monk also followed all the way, walked beside Yu Yichen and asked softly, "Can my father-in-law receive the things sent by the poor monk's day?" โ
Yu Yichen stretched out his hand to stop him, and still walked inside with Zhenshu. Zhenshu entered the main hall, looked around and saw that there were no monks moving, and said: "Looking at the incense from afar, why is the temple so deserted?" โ
The fat monk stepped forward and said with a smile: "The female donor doesn't know, the other monks in the temple are all in retreat and meditation in the backyard today, and they don't see any guests. โ
Yu Yichen saw that he answered very well, and nodded slightly.
The fat monk personally took the incense and handed it to Yu Yichen and Zhenshu, and then sat in front of the Buddha and struck the chime with a pestle.
Zhenshu got up and meditated for a long time before bowing again, took out a small silver ticket from his sleeve and threw it into the merit box, and then said to the fat monk: "Master, the little girl wants to ask for a peace charm, I don't know how to ask for it?" โ
The fat monk asked, "What do you want?" โ
Zhenshu thought for a moment and said, "Mother and son are safe!" โ
The fat monk glanced at Yu Yichen before he smiled and said, "The poor monk will do it for the girl right away." โ
After finishing speaking, he went out of the main hall and went to the side hall on the west side.
Zhenshu and Yu Yichen stood outside the main hall for a long time, only to see the fat monk come out with a piece of yellow rune paper, and gave it to Zhenshu with both hands and said: "This is the mother and son peace charm, please accept it, be sure to wear it with you." โ
After finishing speaking, he invited Yu Yichen again: "The poor monk has a little preparation for Bo Zhai, please use the two of them in the side hall." โ
This side hall is also dedicated to the Buddha statue, but it is the monk's residence to go inside, a kang table is full of some vegetarian stir-fried dishes, and prepare two bowls of crystal moist rice. Zhenshu got up early and was hungry, so he ate a big bowl of rice with vegetarian dishes, drank a bowl of soup, took a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and saw that there was still half a bowl of rice in Yu Yichen's bowl, and the dish was only slightly moved, and it was very difficult to eat.
He didn't finish the bowl of rice after all, put down the chopsticks and said, "I'm also full, let's go." โ
The fat monk was waiting outside the hall, and when he saw Zhenshu coming out to say goodbye, Yu Yichen was also about to leave, so he hurriedly took a few steps to catch up and asked quietly: "What did my father-in-law promise the poor monk about?" โ
Yu Yichen paused slightly, turned sideways and said, "You can go to Beijing to find Mei Xun another day." โ
The fat monk sent Yu Yichen and Zhenshu out of the mountain gate, and recited the Buddha's name into the inner courtyard with joy. A group of spear-wielding soldiers in the inner courtyard besieged many bald monks in the courtyard. At this time, the monks were sitting in the courtyard with their eyes closed, and when they saw the fat monk coming in, they all showed disgust.
The fat monk bowed his head to the Chinese army led by him: "The father-in-law has already left, and the officials have also withdrawn, right?" โ
The Chinese army said with a solemn face: "Ouchi has not given an order, and we still can't withdraw, which offends you." โ
The fat monk entered the ring guard, sat down next to the first old mage with a kind face, and whispered: "Master, the jade father-in-law has already allowed the little monk to enter the Xiangguo Temple to place an order." โ
The old mage turned his head and glanced at the fat monk, shook his head slightly, and said, "Buddhism is one family in the world, why do you have to compete for superiority?" โ
The fat monk said with a smile: "When the little monk goes to Xiangguo Temple, and then find a way to ask the ancestor to take charge in the past, our faction can be regarded as carrying forward." โ
The old monk shook his head and sighed, and continued to close his eyes and recite the Buddha's name.
Out of the temple gate, there are young buds growing on the willow trees outside, and a few peach trees are also budding. Zhenshu walked with his back and asked Yu Yichen: "Has my father-in-law made a wish in front of the Buddha?" โ
Yu Yichen asked Zhenshu rhetorically: "What is the wish of the little shopkeeper?" โ
Zhenshu shook his head: "I can't sue you." However, if you can sue me for any wish you made, I will sue you and mine. โ
Yu Yichen saw her head tilted up and smiled and jumped forward, her body was thin and pretty, her youthful face was smooth and white, her moving lips were bent into a beautiful arc and looked back at herself, and suddenly she said honestly: "I make a wish to call the little shopkeeper, don't call me father-in-law again, forever, forever, only call my name." โ
Zhenshu took two steps forward and said: "What's so difficult about this, you listen......"
She turned around and shouted, "Yu Yichen!" โ
Yu Yichen: "Huh." โ
She turned around and walked forward, shouting again, "Yu Yichen! โ
Yu Yichen: "Huh." โ
"Jade Yichen ......"
Yu Yichen suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed her shoulders, lowered his head and touched her lips, and kissed her.
Zhenshu was stunned for a moment, stood there, suddenly woke up and pushed him away, ran a few steps to the bolted horse, untied the reins and led the horse, and tried to jump to the horse several times but couldn't. In the end, Yu Yichen came from her waist and helped her to jump up.
They beat their horses and walked back to the road, and Sun Yuan Meixun, who was eating dry food under the outer wall of the temple, took the guard position and hurriedly collected the dry food and chased after him.
Finally walked to the main road, Zhenshu turned around and saw that the carriage was still nowhere to be seen, and asked Yu Yichen, "Why are they walking so slowly?" โ
Yu Yichen shook his head: "I don't know." โ
Zhenshu said angrily: "You are angry with me. โ
Yu Yichen shook his head and did not speak.
Zhenshu bit his lip and said, "You know that's impossible. Besides, I have two younger sisters below, and it is difficult for a woman to marry if she loses her reputation, and I don't want to do it, it's not a good thing, but they still want to marry, and they can't be affected because of me. โ
Yu Yichen patted the horse side by side with her, and then pleaded: "Just today, you are with me." I'll send you to Liujiazhuang early tomorrow morning, okay? โ
Seeing that Zhenshu didn't say anything, he added: "They don't know that you set off that day, even if you are a day late?" โ
Zhenshu was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and he felt pity for Yu Yichen for a while, and for a while he felt that he was too out of line, Le Ma bit his lip for a long time, and saw that Yu Yichen was still staring at himself and wanted an answer, so he nodded and said, "Okay." โ
It was probably the happiest laugh he'd ever had since she met him. He grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, mischievously like a half-grown child, whipped the horse of Zhenshu, and whipped his own horse, and shouted: "Ride! โ
On the endless field, where the willows were fresh and green, and the spring grass was sprouting, two horses galloped.
Zhenshu glanced at Yu Yichen sideways, and saw that his round face was full of smiles, and there was no longer a long-lasting haze, so he laughed comfortably, and secretly said in his heart: Or I'm really a bad person, and it just so happens that he is.
There is a market not far away, Yu Yichen took Zhenshu off the horse and walked to an inn, Sun Yuan led a group of guards outside the inn to martial law, and the outside was full. Zhenshu saw Sun Yuan and realized that he had never been able to wait for the carriage because Sun Yuan had brought people to the market from another road. So Yu Yichen's trip today must not be a temporary intention, but a premeditated one.
Not only was there no shopkeeper at the counter, but the entire inn was empty from top to bottom. Zhenshu followed Yu Yichen up to the second floor and asked quietly: "You tell me honestly, where did you get this innkeeper?" โ
Yu Yichen was in a good mood at this time, and pushed the door and said: "Maybe counting the silver at home, you can't make him lose his money after all." โ
Zhenshu entered the room and saw that the inside was spacious and clean, and the floor must have been freshly wiped with a watermark. Asked Yu Yichen: "Where do you live?" โ
Yu Yichen pointed behind him and said, "Next door." โ
Zhenshu jumped on the bed and sat down, patted the soft futon and said, "I've never slept in such a wide bed when I'm so big." โ
It was a six-foot-deep bed, perhaps freshly painted, and it smelled of paint.
Yu Yichen shook his head with a smile and went out to the next door. Zhenshu lay on the bed and gritted his teeth for a long time, and gradually felt some regret in his heart. Knowing that his intentions were impure and he followed him here, he repeatedly made up his mind to break it, but he was not determined to be firm, so if there were rumors in Beijing, Zhenyuan and Zhenxiu Zhenyi would marry three wives, and they were afraid that they would be implicated because of her reputation. As Zhenyu said, whether a woman can be respected in her husband's family, the dowry is important, and the mother's family is even more important. If it weren't for Concubine Rong's hard work, Zhenyu would not be able to marry into the Hou Mansion of Beishun, and since Concubine Rong abdicated and lost power, Zhenyu who moved to Jinshan Yinshan to marry in the past, would have to be troubled by her mother-in-law in the Hou Mansion.
Zhenyuan and Zhenxiu Zhenyi have no strong backing, no rich dowry, except for Zhenxiu, the other two are all in the โกโก of people, so they can't stand up, if they are affected by their reputation, I am afraid that they will not be able to raise their heads if they are married.
After thinking about it in his heart, Zhenshu thought about the words to persuade Yu Yichen to let him go, gritted his teeth and calculated, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
When she woke up, she pushed the window to see that the sun was setting outside, so she went out and knocked on the door next door and shouted, "Yu Yichen? โ
Sun Yuan trotted out of there, pushed the door and said, "My father-in-law went out, and I told Miss Song to wake up and wait for him here." โ
