Chapter 164: Saving Beauty
Entering Xiangguo Temple, naturally there are Zhike monks to take care of them, Li Luan'er turned around and glanced at Ma Xiaoya, Ma Xiaoya smiled sweetly at the Zhike monk: "This master, I don't know if Mrs. Xing is here, our lady and Mrs. Xing are old acquaintances, and we have made an appointment to come together to make incense." β
The monk waved his hand and smiled: "Are you talking about the wife of Xing Shilang's family?" If it were her, she would have come early......"
Ma Xiaoya hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, master." β
Li Luan'er had already smiled and helped Mrs. Gu into the door with Gu Xin, and went straight to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
While walking, Li Luan'er looked at this Xiangguo Temple, and saw that the temple was not very big, but the layout everywhere was very good, she seemed to vaguely see the traces of the formation, although she didn't understand what kind of formation it was, but Li Luan'er's spiritual power was surprisingly strong, and she felt that there were a few trees in a strange position, and after thinking for a while, she guessed that this was about the kind of formation written in the book.
Li Luan'er made up her mind to go back and ask Yan Chengyue, so she carefully wrote down what she felt strange.
She also saw that there were many pilgrims in this Xiangguo Temple, most of them were from rich and noble families who came to incense, and there were special places to worship Changming lanterns, and many people donated incense.
Li Luan'er asked curiously: "How is the incense in your temple donated, I want to do a ritual, how many silver taels do I need?" β
She thought that she had no money before, and when she buried her original mother, it was equivalent to a hasty burial, but now that the family has surplus wealth, even if it is for the original body, she should do a ritual with the mother of this body, so that she can live a better life in the shadows.
The monk thought for a while and said, "I don't know what kind of ritual the lady wants to do?" β
"My mother is buried in her hometown, and the burial is a little simple, I want to ask the monks of your temple to recite the Sutra ......of Death for her," Li Luan'er said in detail her intentions.
The monk listened to it for a while and thought: "So, please also ask the eldest lady to offer the tablet of the Lingtang in the temple, and then ask the monks in the temple to recite a few days, so that the soul of the hall can rest in peace, so it is the best way, but the sesame oil is quite expensive." β
"We are not afraid of fees, you just have to say how much you want to donate." Li Luan'er smiled.
"Amitabha, how much to donate depends on the donor's intentions, but the day before yesterday, there was a donor who also did things for his mother, and donated 30 catties of sesame oil and 200 taels of silver." The monk recited the Buddha, and the words revealed a little bit of the meaning of asking Li Luaner to donate more.
Li Luan'er smiled: "That's it, when I go back, I will ask someone to donate some sesame oil and silver taels to your temple, I see that the clothes of the masters are also a little old, why don't I donate some monk's clothes." β
"Donor's mercy." The monk recited the Buddha again, and took Li Luan'er and the three of them into the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
When I entered the door, I saw that there were no pilgrims around, only a woman with her back to Li Luan'er and the three of them kneeling on the futon to recite the scriptures, looking at her figure, Li Luan'er knew that this must be Mrs. Xing.
She walked over slowly, Ma Shi heard the footsteps and looked back, and when she saw that it was Li Luan'er, she beckoned to her: "Big lady, come over quickly." β
Li Luan'er pulled Mrs. Gu over to the incense first, and bowed to the Buddha, after Fu Ma got up, they were not convenient to speak in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, so they left together, after the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and after another day the palace moved to the east side, it was a three-hole stone bridge, and after the stone bridge, there were trees in the shade.
A few people thought that this place was very good, quiet and cool, and the key was that there were all the tables and chairs, so they rested here.
After sitting down, there was a girl who brought the fruit on it, and another girl asked the monks in the temple to take the water from the nectar spring in the temple to boil water to make tea, and Mrs. Xing Ma looked at Gu Xin in this vacancy, and saw that Gu Xin's appearance was marked with his speech and demeanor, so he believed his master's words.
Seeing that the girl brought by the Gu family was very regular, her movements were light, and her bearing was like that, she glanced at the Gu family's high style, and she was even more satisfied with Gu Xin.
Mrs. Gu looked at her face, and when she saw that Mrs. Xing took a fancy to Gu Xin, her heart also relaxed, and she smiled at Gu Xin: "Let's rest here for a while, you can go play by yourself." β
Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "There is nothing else in this temple, but there is a Longquan Pavilion next to Nabiyou Lake, where the scenery is very good." β
Gu Xin listened to a shy hibiscus face, knowing that Mrs. Xing was reminding her that the second son of Xing must be in Longquan Pavilion, although she was shy, but in recent days, she has also seen the changes in her family, and the whole heart has matured a lot, plus she has always been generous, so she can't care about being ashamed, and thanked Mrs. Xing for taking the girl to Longquan Pavilion.
As soon as Gu Xin left, the tea was also brewed, Li Luan'er poured three cups of tea and put a cup in front of each person, and said with a smile: "It's quiet, and the three of us are left to talk about our son." β
Mrs. Xing chuckled: "I think you should like to be lively, why do you like to be quiet today?" β
Li Luan'er fanned the wind with her hand: "No way, who told me that the weather is too hot, I naturally like a cool and quiet place." β
Mrs. Gu prepared a very complete set of things, and as soon as she heard Li Luan'er shouting hot, she quickly called the girl to take out a few chilled fruits from the food box she was carrying and invited Li Luaner and Mrs. Xing to eat.
Mrs. Xing looked at Madame's style and knew that her family's life was definitely not difficult, on the contrary, it was much better than that of ordinary officials.
Mrs. Gu worshiped a Buddha and brought a refrigerator, and all kinds of fruits in the town could see the Gu family's financial resources, and I saw that the Gu family was not only Mrs. Gu and Gu Xin, but also the girl's clothes looked good, and I knew that the Gu family still had a lot of family background.
She smiled and pointed to the cantaloupe: "This is good, fresh, it's not very common, where did Mrs. Gu get this rare thing." β
Mrs. Gu smiled: "If you like to eat, eat more, not anything, it was transported from the west by the steward of my family's commercial house, I don't eat as much as watermelon, but the eldest lady likes to eat this, so I brought more." β
Mrs. Xing was not polite, she immediately picked up a piece and bit it, took a bite and praised: "This melon is really good, it tastes better than the ones I ate before." β
"I still have some at home, and when I get back, I'll ask someone to send some to your house." When Mrs. Gu heard that Mrs. Xing liked it, she immediately smiled.
Mrs. Xing hurriedly stopped: "This can't be done, I didn't ask you to break the bank." β
Mrs. Gu hurriedly waved her hand: "Whatever you spend, it's all your own stuff, and it's rare that someone likes it." β
"I like it, why don't you say it to me." Li Luan'er saw that the two of them pushed forward, so she simply interjected generously: "Anyway, I am familiar with Mrs. Gu before, and today I also accompanied my wife to Xiangguo Temple, Mrs. didn't say that I worked hard, and gave me all the fresh melons and fruits that you don't love, but cheapened outsiders, and I didn't rely on it." β
In a word, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Xing laughed at the same time.
Mrs. Gu even pointed at Li Luan'er and laughed: "You weird, you and I are neighbors, usually my family's good things are not cheap for you, I just don't give them away, you have to go over to search every once in a while, and I don't know who snatched all the durian mangosteens that my family got from the south some time ago, and I still have the face to say that I am not with you." β
Li Luan'er covered her face with her hands: "Mrs. Moti, the durian is cheap for me because you all don't want to eat it, and the mangosteen is also something you don't know how to enjoy, so I took it away, and those good ones like coconut and mango have been given to me, and I am ashamed of my wife." β
In a word, Mrs. Gu only laughed and didn't say anything, and Mrs. Xing also laughed: "I want to see what I said." β
Li Luan'er spread her hands: "I'm afraid it won't work out this year, Mrs. Xing just has an appointment with Mrs. Gu, and next year she will tell you to sΓΉ, you whisper to me, and I will grab more." β
Even Mrs. Xing, who said this, also pointed at Li Luan'er and laughed.
Duan said that Gu Xin asked the location of Longquan Pavilion, and took the girl to go, because the sun was getting bigger and the temperature was gradually rising, but she felt hot, so she picked the cool path to walk, and saw a stone path in the bamboo forest was very deep, and she liked it, so she walked over.
Gu Xin liked bamboo, walking on the bamboo shade road, looking at the green bamboo poles and poles around him, and listening to the rustle of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, he was a little intoxicated.
She also knew that she couldn't delay too much here, and after admiring it for a while, she walked along the path.
Seeing that this bamboo forest is about to pass, not far away is the Longquan Pavilion, the pavilion is also secluded, there are not many people around, there is only a young man in a cyan thin silk robe standing there in the pavilion, it seems to be looking at something from afar.
Gu Xinxin said that this is afraid that it is the second son of Xing, looking at the back is good, his posture is tall and very handsome, but he doesn't know how he looks, it is said that his family is a military general, and his father and brother have led troops to fight, I am afraid that he is not very handsome.
It's just that Gu Xin thought about it again, as long as a man is responsible, what if he is handsome or not, the people of the Jun family are handsome, but there is no good one who is a male thief and a dog prostitute.
She planned like this, and her feet couldn't help but be a little anxious, before she got out of the bamboo forest, and was about to walk towards Longquan Pavilion, when she heard a slippery voice in front of her: "Yo, which little lady is this, why do you come here alone, don't you want to be a lover, little lady, let's see if I can be your lover?" β
Gu Xin frowned, raised her eyes and saw a tall man in a dark green embroidered silver pattern robe blocking her way, that boy was not bad, only a pair of eyes showed a little bit of yin evil light, which made people disgusted when they saw it.
She didn't want to make more trouble, so she took the girl and walked to the side, but the boy brought someone and stopped her again: "Why doesn't the little lady speak." β
Gu Xin was really angry this time, raised his head violently, and almost burst into fire in a pair of beautiful big eyes: "This son is so rude, this is a quiet place for Buddhism, and he should be respectful when he comes here to incense, what kind of system is it to shout like a child, and besides, this is the capital, the first good place at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the son is fortunate to be born in this blessed land, so he should cherish the blessings, and usually behave politely and well, but you and I have never been alive, you stopped my way, what is the reason for your words and teasing?" β
Gu Xin's words were loud, coupled with her full posture, which made the young man speechless for a while, and said angrily for a while: "The little lady looks good, this son has taken a fancy to it, and I will let you go back to be my concubine......"
This sentence made Gu Xin want to slap the son in the face: "I am a girl from a good family, a serious and good background, except for today's official family, no one can demote me to a lowly status." β
"That's a good ......" Just as Gu Xin was thinking about how to avoid the entanglement of this playboy, he heard a cheer, and when he looked up again, the second son of Xing in the Longquan Pavilion had disappeared, but it was a young man in Tsing Yi who came up, he was tall, his eyebrows were clear, especially a pair of eyes were very upright, which made people feel good at first sight.
