Chapter 1: March Garan
In early spring and March, it is a good time to go out and play, all kinds of trees have sprouts, tender and leisurely, and the grass on both sides of the road is also drawn out of crystal clear, but also bubbling with morning dewdrops, under the illumination of the warm sun, refracting a dazzling light.
At that time, in the noisy street, a pink and luxurious carriage was driving, and passers-by heard the sound of the carriage and automatically gave way.
The sound of the carriage "kicking and kicking", as well as the curtains that were raised from time to time at that time, and then look at the person driving the carriage, although he is a servant, but the clothes on his body are much better than ordinary people's, presumably the people in the carriage are either rich or expensive.
There were three people sitting in the carriage, three of them on three sides, one of whom was lifting the curtain and looking out, and was obviously better dressed than the other two.
The person sitting opposite him was wearing a green water skirt, and he also had a few delicate hairpins on his head, his face was delicate, and he looked at the person opposite and kept looking out, so he said: "Miss, you quickly put down the curtain, what if someone accidentally hits you?" Come in quickly, or if your lady knows it, you should scold the slave again. Speaking of this, the maid seemed to think of something bad, and immediately frowned.
At this time, the girl by the curtain turned her head, waved her hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just take a look, you don't have to worry about Luzhu." ”
I saw that the girl's eyes were big, revealing her own bookish fragrance, with a hint of cunning in her quiet appearance, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were wavering, which really had the taste of that bookish beauty.
That slight smile is like a spring breeze in March, gently brushing people, and making people's hearts itch.
This is sitting on the other side, dressed like Luzhu, but the woman with different colors of clothes spoke, only to hear her say: "Luzhu, you don't have to worry, Miss finally came out, let her see it, anyway, Mrs. is no longer here at this time, if you don't say it, I don't say it, how will Mrs. know the way?" After speaking, he also winked at the green bamboo.
Lu Zhu stepped forward and patted the woman's head, and counted: "Hmph, I don't know who instigated Miss to go out to play last time, and I also said that God knows that you know and I know, but when I went back, wasn't I still found out by Mrs. Now I have said this, haven't I been taught enough?" ”
Although the green bamboo said so, he didn't say that he wanted to go back, and he thought about it in his heart.
"Miss, look at her, again?" With that, the woman pouted and complained dissatisfiedly.
The woman sitting next to the curtain watched the number of outsiders in the curtain decrease, and gradually went to the mountain road, so she put down the curtain and said with a smile: "Okay, Hongying, don't you know the green bamboo of the road?" I finally came out today, not to mention those things in the house, and if my mother really found out, we only said that we went to Jialan Temple to pray for blessings, and my mother is also a person who believes in Buddhism, how can we say no? ”
He glanced at them separately, rolled his eyes, and shook his head with a little caution in them, "You have been by my side for so long, why didn't you think of this?" Don't patronize dressing, eating and drinking in the future, follow me to see more! ”
Hearing this, the two immediately drooped their heads, grimaced, and said in unison: "Miss, just spare the slave maid!" ”
"Although the slave maid knows some words, she is not at the level of reading those books, and, miss, don't you know the slave maid? If you are sleepy when you read a book, you can spare the slave and maid! Luzhu said with a sad face.
"Yes, yes, miss, you can spare us!" The red tassel next to him immediately echoed.
"Yo y! Usually a little clever is satisfied? If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to read and read now, when our family moves to the capital in September this year, we will be looked down upon. There was tenderness in the woman's eyes, a little reproachful, but more of a frightening.
"Miss, what do you say? Our Yan family is the richest man in Jiangnan, and last year, the eldest son won the champion in one fell swoop, even if we first went to the capital, how could we be looked down upon? Who dares to look down on our smokers? Hongying tilted her head, and when she said the word "smoker", her face was filled with great pride and reverence.
Presumably, this smoker must not be simple.
This Hongying was still thinking about the glorious deeds of the Yan Mansion, and the green bamboo over there patted it, squinted at the red Ying, and said: "There are many big officials and nobles in the capital, and there are even more rich people like the Yan family. ”
Yan Rumeng nodded, and said leisurely: "Since ancient times, business has been ranked last, and the capital is where many royal families live, although the business of the Yan family is relatively large, but in the eyes of those dignitaries, it is nothing at all. ”
As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at Hongying, and then said: "Therefore, when you arrive in the capital in the future, you must restrain your temperament, and don't offend those who shouldn't be offended." ”
In fact, although the smoker family is said to be a rich party, but without the permission of the government, how can the business be done?
"Yes, Jiangnan is a place we are familiar with after all, it's okay to be presumptuous and presumptuous occasionally, but the capital is not familiar with anything, it's better to be careful, as the saying goes, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship!" Luzhu took a cup of tea and handed it to Yan Rumeng, and said in harmony.
Yan Rumeng showed an appreciative gaze, and said a little jokingly: "Hongying, you should be more like a green bamboo to learn, don't be so reckless in everything." ”
Hongying seemed to be very unconvinced, pouting, but her own young lady said it, so she could only respond sullenly: "I know it, Miss!" ”
Originally, Yan Rumeng wanted to tell them about this, although Luzhu usually does things steadily and thoughtfully, but although Hongying has a flexible brain, she is simple-minded, and it is not okay not to explain it.
The carriage outside was fast, and the scenes passed away in a hurry, and finally stopped at the gate of a temple surrounded by peach blossoms, because it was March, and the peach blossoms had only just sprouted little by little, and the place where the sun was shining was already flowers.
Yan Rumeng is not the first time to come to the Jialan Temple, and naturally I have also seen the Jialan Temple when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
There is a plaque above the center of the temple, with three gilded characters 'Garan Temple', and below the plaque is a square gate, and two poems are engraved on both sides of the square gate: "Wash the mind and return to tranquility, clear the heart and realize the sky." "Look straight in from the square gate, you can see a big tripod, in front of the big tripod is the hall of people praying for blessings.
Yan Rumeng lifted the curtain and looked out, because it was noon, so there were already many people in and out.
