Chapter 143: Shangxiang

Mo Shi chose an auspicious day of the zodiac and took the four girls to Hualin Temple. In addition to the master, there are more than 40 maids and retinues.

Yueyao looked at the carriage and was stunned, her face turned a little pale, and said, "Auntie, I still won't go, the mountain is steep, I'm afraid it's not safe." "I'm afraid that the carriage ride is fake, it's just that Yueyao wants to disgust Mo's.

Mo Shi sank his face, but it was not good to reprimand Yueyao at the gate in front of his subordinates, "You can't never go up the mountain to burn incense because of that incident." ”

Yue Yao lowered her head, looking very aggrieved.

Yue Bing's eyes flashed, and she walked over with a smile and took Yue Yao's arm and said, "Mother, I'll have a carriage with my third sister!" Sister, don't be afraid, what happened last time was an accident, and this time it won't be okay again. "Wang's mother said that she should show friendship and love to the outside world, and this is nothing to lose, just to make a performance article.

Yue Yao hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay." Yue Yao thought that she would definitely have to meet Mrs. Pu'an when she went to Hualin Temple, and after having the experience of her previous life, Yue Yao felt that the old nun was not a good person, and she didn't really want to see the old nun. But it is impossible to go to Hualin Temple and not see Napuan.

Yue Bing got into Yue Yao's carriage. The carriage that Yue Yao sat in was relatively simple, with nothing but seats, and it was far less good than the carriage that Mo's sat in, which had tea and pastries.

Yue Bing was slandered in her heart, but she couldn't see the slightest on her face, and said: "Third sister, isn't it boring for you to stay alone in Lanxi Courtyard every day!" On weekdays, you can come to me and my eldest sister, and then our four sisters will talk to each other in private, and it will be very lively together, just like studying together that day, do you say okay? ”

Yue Yao said lightly: "I like to be quiet, I will have a headache if it is too noisy." "She doesn't want to be a sister to Yue Bing. The relationship is far away, and a lot of things are hard to say. If you show sisterly love, you will definitely have a lot of troubles.

Yue Bing took the initiative to say a lot of things to Yue Yao, but Yue Yao's face remained pale, and in the end, Yue Bing also felt bored and stopped talking. There was no sound in the carriage.

Mother Wang looked at the displeased look of the second girl, and then looked at the third girl with a pale face, and sighed slightly in her heart. The third girl's mind is too deep, how can other people be so calm, if the lady wants to deal with the third girl, she will definitely not be pleased.

Mother Wang's indifference to Yueyao can also be understood. It is not difficult to guess the thoughts of the eldest lady Mo, it can only be said that the eldest lady has a good idea, and she is unlucky to meet the three girls who are precocious. If you meet an ignorant person and are attracted by Moh, the money is also good. It's a pity that when she meets such a shrewd third girl, Madame will definitely not get good. Mother Wang had the heart to persuade a few words, but unfortunately she also knew that she was soft-spoken, and wanted to wait for the right opportunity to persuade Madame.

The distance from Hualin Si to the capital is much closer than to Zhaohua Temple, and it only takes one hour from the capital to Hualin Temple.

March is a picturesque spring, and the scenery along the way is refreshing.

Yueyao lifted the curtain and looked greedily at the beautiful scenery outside. Yueyao felt a little sorry, if the man could come out at any time, but the woman could only be restrained in the backyard. She wanted to go outside and walk around a little more, and see the outside world more.

It was also at this time that Yueyao had an idea. If she were a monk, she would not have so many rules and regulations, so that she would be free. But this idea disappeared in a flash, and when he became a monk, the six major were empty, what should Tingzheng do when the time comes? Not only does she have to support Ting Zheng to grow up, she still has a lot of things to do, where can she become a monk!

Yue Bing had the heart to say Yue Yao, and Mother Wang immediately shook her head at her when she saw it. Yue Yao's rules are better than Yue Bing's. There are trees all around this mountain, and there are no people, and it is not rude for the three girls to open the curtain to see outside.

A touch of complexity flashed in Yue Bing's eyes, she used to think that Yue Yao was a little stupid, where would she faint and persistently copy the scriptures. The current Yueyao made her unable to understand, she felt as if Yueyao didn't care about anything, didn't care about Lianjia, didn't care about sisterhood, the only thing she cared about was Tingzheng. Yue Bing felt that such a Yue Yao was very selfish.

Yueyao kept looking outside, tired of seeing it, leaning on the carriage to close her eyes to recuperate. Until Hualin Temple, Yue Yao didn't take the initiative to talk to Yue Bing.

The group got off at the bottom of the main hall of Hualin Temple. As soon as she got out of the carriage, Yueyao watched the temple come and go, so it was not lively.

The incense of Hualin Temple is very strong, and there is a burst of fragrance when you get off the carriage. Yue Yao looked at the big ding, but the big ding in the center was full of incense candles, and the curling smoke was scattered everywhere under the wind.

Yue Yao looked at the flattering little face of the nun who had been hired to receive them, and couldn't help but feel disgusted, but Yue Yao also knew that the sense of proportion was not shown on the face.

Everyone followed Mo to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and then took turns to burn incense in each hall and worship the Bodhisattvas from all walks of life.

Yueyao also sincerely worshiped the Bodhisattva. Yueyao is very religious, but she no longer believes in karma. If there is really karma, the Mo family in the previous life should not have harmed so many people and enjoyed the glory and wealth, instead of believing in those ethereal karma, Yueyao is more willing to believe in herself, and only she can protect herself.

After worshipping the Bodhisattvas from all walks of life, the little nun led everyone to the backyard. There are many independent courtyards in the backyard of Hualin Temple, which are well arranged, and there are flowers and plants planted under the corridor. And in the middle of the courtyard they entered, there was a tall Bodhi tree, which shrouded the courtyard like a giant umbrella. The sunlight was dappled and falling from the branches of the trees, like small golden leaves.

Yue Yao is very familiar with this courtyard, she often came to the temple with Mo Shi to offer incense in her previous life, and it was this courtyard where she rested. Therefore, she looked at the linden tree.

Seeing Yueyao looking at the tall Bodhi tree in distraction, Drizzle pushed Yueyao and said, "Girl, the eldest lady and a few girls have entered." ”

Yue Yao came back to her senses and followed in.

Yuehuan looked at this small courtyard. Although the yard is small, it is very well arranged, with flowers, grass and towering trees, and the furniture is complete. It's not like the courtyard in Zhaohua Temple, there is nothing, and it doesn't look like a place for people to live at all.

Yuehuan didn't have a hand in the history of Zhaohua Temple, so she was puzzled, and she didn't understand why Zhaohua Temple's fame was above Hualin Temple.

After a while, a little nun brought hot tea, followed by fruit and pastries. Yuehuan couldn't help but say, "Third sister, this place is much better than the courtyard of Zhaohua Temple. "The moon ring doesn't mean anything else, it's just a comparison of the two places.

Yue Yao naturally couldn't explain that history to Yuehuan in front of everyone, so she just said lightly: "This is used to entertain guests who come to incense, which is naturally better than the courtyard where we live." ”

Yue Bing was surprised, "No, didn't the fourth sister go to the mountain and don't know what the guest rooms in Zhaohua Temple look like?" The courtyard used by Zhaohua Temple to entertain distinguished guests is more than exquisite when it is more than here. "Those courtyards are all for the palace nobles, and even for the emperor and the queen mother, can they not be exquisite and rich!"

Yuehuan shook her head, "I didn't go up the mountain." ”

The eyes of the others fell on Yueyao's body at once. Everyone believed that it was Yueyao who did not let Yuehuan go to the mountain. So I don't know anything about things in the mountains.

Yue Yao's face was very calm, and she didn't open her mouth to explain half a word to herself. She didn't seem to know that everyone was looking at her.

A little nun outside came over and said, "Mrs. Lian, Mrs. Shi will come over soon." ”

Yueyao's expression froze, and she immediately lowered her head when she found that her emotions were exposed. If it is said that Yue Yao hates Pu'an Shitai, it can't be talked about, but she disdains it. Pu'an Shitai is a person with six impure roots, and she has done a lot of things for money.

Mo personally went out to greet him, and Yueying and several people immediately followed. Yue Yao paused, and in order not to show mavericks, she still went out with her.

Yue Yao watched the nun in plain clothes walk in, and the suppressed memories came up again. Pu'an Shitai is the same as in his memory, with a round and round face, a very blessed face, with a three-point smile when he doesn't speak, and looks like a bodhisattva. is also because of this kind and kind appearance that makes people feel close, so Pu'an Shitai is very faceable among Shangxiang's ladies.

Yue Yao remembered that in her previous life, she had copied the scriptures for three years under the guidance of Master Pu'an, and almost copied a fool, so she felt a burst of disgust. Yueyao kept her head down, so others didn't see the disgust and hatred in her eyes.

Master Pu'an sensed Yue Yao's strangeness, and said with a smile: "The third girl has changed a lot from when she came here two years ago. "Two years ago, Yue Yao looked like a little pitiful, with a bad complexion, and a sick look. Now Yueyao is not only in good spirits, but her temperament has also undergone tremendous changes.

Yue Yao didn't show respect, and said lightly: "The teacher is so blessed. Yueyao's tone was not respectful at all, and the people next to her could hear it, not to mention Pu'an Shitai.

Pu'an's gaffe was a little surprised by Yueyao's attitude, but he still said with a smile: "I remember that the girl made a promise in front of the Buddha at that time to copy a thousand scriptures for the second master and second lady Lian who went first. The girl's filial piety touched the heavens, which moved the old nun. ”

Yueyao was still expressionless, "Mrs. Pu'an said that I copied a thousand volumes of filial piety within a year is the greatest filial piety to my parents, I copied half of the body can not stand it, my mother felt sorry for me, and told me in a dream that filial piety is not in copying scriptures, the most important thing is to take care of yourself." I will keep the vow I made before the Buddha, and I am now only 300 of the 700 sutras I have copied, and I will definitely be able to finish them in the remaining days. She vowed in front of the Buddha that it was true that she would complete the 1,000 volumes of the scriptures, but she did not say that she would complete them within a year. The one-year period is what Pu'an Shitai said.

If Yueyao's words just now were just disrespectful, then now it was a blatant accusation, accusing Pu'an Shi of being too ill-intentioned. Imagine asking an eight-year-old child to copy 1,000 books in one year.

Pu'an Shitai's eyes suddenly became very sharp when he looked at Yue Yao. She has always been respected in Hualin Temple, and those distinguished guests who came to offer incense were also polite to her, and today she was accused by a girl. However, if she quarrels with Yueyao now, she will be completely inferior, "Amitabha, Miss Lian is really filial piety, and she actually led the second lady Lian into a dream to persuade the girl to take care of her body. Amitabha, good, good. ”

Although Yueyao disdained Pu'an, she also knew that she couldn't help this old nun. Pu'an is still very famous in Hualin Temple, and many ladies in the capital like her very much.
