244: Mysterious Boy
When I arrived in the main hall, I was greeted by a kind old monk.
The little monk who led the way put his hands together and said to the old monk: "Master." ”
Xia Ruan raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately understood that the person in front of him was Master Yuanhui in his mother's mouth.
Master Yuan Hui looks like a master in the world, no wonder his mother believes in this person.
Xia Ruan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but if he was really a master outside the world, how could he be in the White Horse Temple?
Sure enough, you can't just look at the surface to recognize people.
Xia Ruan smelled the rich scent of sandalwood in the main hall, but smiled at Master Yuanhui: "I'm disturbing Master today." ”
"Amitabha." Master Yuan Hui had a shallow smile in his eyes, "The ever-bright lantern has been prepared for the third lady, if the third lady is willing to light the lamp by herself, it will be even more pious." ”
Xia Ruan nodded: "Okay, then it's time to bother the master." ”
Xia Ruan followed Master Yuan Hui all the way to the place where the lantern was lit. It's just that Master Yuan Hui didn't ask Xia Ruan to light the lamp immediately, but asked the little monk next to him to chant first.
Duran and Ai Ye accompanied Xia Ruan to kneel on the futon, closed their eyes, and prayed sincerely.
Xia Ruan didn't close all her eyes because she never believed in this, so she personally watched a fat monk come to Master Yuan Hui's side.
The fat monk approached Master Yuanhui and said a few words in his ear, and Master Yuanhui listened, his eyes were bright.
Master Yuan Hui nodded and did not answer the fat monk.
The little monks around him chanted very loudly, so Xia Ruan didn't hear clearly what the fat monk and Master Yuan Hui were saying.
After the fat monk left, Master Yuan Hui returned to his appearance like an immortal just now. said to Xia Ruan: "Third Miss, it's okay." ”
Xia Ruan slowly got up from the futon, and washed his hands under the service of the little monk.
Master Yuan Hui held the everlasting lamp with a lotus base on the table at this time, and said to Xia Ruan, "Third Miss, please ......."
Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, this ever-bright lamp seemed to be a little different from the surroundings. The base of this lotus flower is painted with gold dust, which looks very luxurious.
She turned her eyes to look at Master Yuan Hui: "Master, why is this everlasting lamp different from the surroundings?" ”
Master Yuan Hui clasped his hands together: "Amitabha." This is the ever-bright lamp that Mrs. Li personally chosen. Nature is different from others. This is the everlasting lamp that has been lit in the temple, so it is the most effective. ”
The corners of Xia Ruan's mouth twitched, to put it bluntly, this is the most expensive everlasting lamp in the White Horse Temple.
In fact, in her eyes, the ever-bright lights are almost the same. They are all instruments used to deceive the world. It's just that. This is the case with many temples. Whether it's lighting a lamp or putting incense on it, there are always a lot of tricks. The rhetoric is pretty much the same. But in reality, it's nothing more than the more silver, the better the rhetoric.
After Xia Ruan smiled and lit the lantern, Master Yuan Hui asked Xia Ruan to send him away.
As soon as Xia Ruan left, the smile on Master Yuan Hui's face faded, and he looked at the ever-bright lamp on the table and smiled coldly.
……
The next day, Master Yuan Hui found Li early in the morning and had a conversation.
For some reason, Li didn't use his breakfast.
At lunchtime, Li still said that he was not feeling well and did not want to eat.
Xia Ruan no longer listened to what her mother said, and asked the monks in the temple to bring up the vegetables, so she pulled her mother to use some of them.
Li Shi originally had a sad face, but when he saw Xia Ruan, he pretended to smile with relief.
It's just that this smile is a little bitter.
Xia Ruan didn't speak, but after letting her mother eat some meals, she returned to the wing room and said to Du Lan: "Is Chongli back?" ”
After she came back yesterday, she knew that Master Minghui was a little strange, so she asked Chongli to investigate the matter.
Naturally, she and her mother inside the temple couldn't hear the news from outside. The monks in this temple are all in a group, so they will naturally hide the news. She and her mother will stay at the White Horse Temple for three more days, and they can't be unaware of the news outside.
Duran shook his head: "I haven't come back yet, is something wrong with Miss?" I saw that Madame's face was not very good. ”
Even Duran could see her mother's abnormality, how could she not know.
Mother deliberately hid it from her, and she naturally didn't take the initiative to ask anything.
It's just that her mother is hiding something from her, and she can still guess some of them, but not all of them.
Xia Ruan sighed secretly, if the Nan family really wanted to make a move, she couldn't sit still like this.
Du Lan thought that Xia Ruan was worried about the Li family, so he hurriedly spoke to comfort, "Madame may be tired, so she loses her appetite." Miss, why don't you give the lady a pulse? ”
Although Du Lan's medical skills are not as good as Du Ruo, she is still sure of small problems.
Xia Ruan naturally understood what Du Lan meant, but her mother was definitely not unwell.
Xia Ruan thought for a while before saying, "It's okay, I'm a little worried about you when you go and help your mother take a look." ”
Since Chongli hasn't come back yet, she has to continue to pretend that she doesn't know. If she sent Duran over, then those little monks would know that she just thought that her mother was unwell. When the time comes, I will prescribe a few pairs of tonics, and I will have the right to replenish my mother's body.
Xia Ruan looked outside the window that the snow had stopped, put on thick clothes, and prepared to go out for a walk.
If Tang Jingxuan can really marry Nan Ruo, then I am afraid that there will be some trouble in the future.
Nan Jianchun is not a fool, why would he let Nan Ruo go to Tang Jingxuan's side, Xia Ruan was a little unclear.
She thought hard about who Nan Ruo, the seventeenth lady of the Nan family, married in the end in her previous life.
But no matter what she thought, she couldn't remember these memories in her head.
Xia Ruan sighed secretly, it was really a little tricky.
The Nan family has deep roots, and it is not just as simple as an ordinary merchant household. Although the power of the Nan family is not as powerful as the Li family, it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, and no matter how powerful the Li family is, they can't always protect her and her mother. Moreover, for Xia Ruan, this matter is simply a disaster.
She never thought that she would have anything to do with Tang Jingxuan again in this life, but she didn't want to still not be able to escape such a fate.
For Tang Jingxuan, she has always had a very secret relationship with the Li family, and now she has a lot of silver in her hand. What's more, she also has a relationship with Concubine An. Concubine An has no heirs, and her status in the palace is not short...... If Concubine An Gui Niangniang secretly supported the six princes, she would naturally be like a tiger with wings for the six princes.
But Tang Jingxuan also left a way back for himself, and the woman who wanted to marry him was naturally not only Nan Ruo.
Xia Ruan couldn't help but caress his cheek.
In fact, women and men are similar, and the first thing you see must be each other's faces.
It just so happens that Tang Jingxuan's face is indeed good.
However, what about the best physiognomy. But that heart is forever dirty.
"Miss. There's a pavilion over there, would you like to go in and take a break? Ai Ye saw that Xia Ruan was walking slower and slower, thinking that Xia Ruan was tired.
Xia Ruan looked in the direction pointed by Ai Ye, and could see a corner of the pavilion from a distance.
She nodded, "It's fine." ”
The White Horse Temple is more than just incense. There are many fertile fields at the foot of the mountain. These are all gifts from the emperors. It's just these monks. Accustomed to enjoying the blessings, those fertile fields were sold a lot. Xia Ruan was wondering if he should buy these granges back. And the location is good, not to mention, it is close to Kyoto.
Xia Ruan was thoughtful, and didn't pay much attention to the situation around him at all.
Until Ai Ye called her: "Miss." ”
Xia Ruan raised her head and looked at the pavilion in the distance, where a young man in white was sitting, because she was standing at a distance, she couldn't see the appearance of the people in the pavilion clearly.
"Miss, why don't you ......" Ai Ye pondered for a while before saying, "Let's go back?" ”
Xia Ruan nodded, turned around and thought about leaving.
But unexpectedly, the young man called her: "Miss, why don't you come to sit in the pavilion?" ”
Xia Ruan raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then slowly walked into the pavilion.
She didn't know if the person in front of her was an enemy or a friend, and if it was, it would be impossible for her to leave.
Therefore, she might as well test the young man in front of her.
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, why in the White Horse Temple, she meets people again and again.
Xia Ruan found it somewhat interesting.
She had wanted to inquire about Mr. Westlou's residence to-day, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
Mr. Xilou is a staff member of the Four Princes, and she heard Tang Jingxuan mention it at the beginning, saying that Mr. Xilou has a strange temperament and is a little stubborn. If you don't pay attention to it, you will touch Mr. Westwing's scales.
However, even such an eccentric person is still used by the four princes.
The success of the four princes' rebellion was not due to luck, but because the people around him were all resourceful.
It's just that Kyoto is now rumored that the four princes' bodies are not as good as day by day, and they are about to drive to the west.
Xia Ruan just smiled helplessly when he heard this.
I don't know how good the body of the four princes is.
Xia Ruan gathered his mind and took a closer look, there was a chessboard on the stone table, and the young man was making tea on the other side. The little guy standing next to the boy was sweating profusely at this time.
"Miss, please be seated." The corner of the young man's lips twitched, and he said to the little girl, "The heat is too big, smaller." ”
The little guy nodded quickly, but the movements in his hands became faster and faster.
The fragrance of the tea soon came out, and Xia Ruan smelled the faint fragrance and felt very comfortable.
The young man looked at Xia Ruan with a smile: "Miss came just in time, I cooked tea myself, give you a taste?" It's just that this tea can't be tasted in vain......"
Xia Ruan thought it was interesting, and then looked at the young man suspiciously: "Oh? ”
"I think Miss must be a person who reads poetry and books, so ......" the young man's smile deepened, "How about playing a game with Xiaosheng?" ”
The young man's words were casual, as if he was really idle at this time, and he wanted to find someone to play a game, which did not seem abrupt at all.
It's just that the little guy standing next to the young man couldn't help but stop what he was doing, and looked at Xia Ruan distractedly.
Reading poetry?
This sentence sounded to Xia Ruan, but it was a little ironic.
She didn't take this matter to heart, but just shook it: "I'm sorry, the little girl doesn't know chess skills, and I disappointed my son." ”
The young man raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Ruan with a smile: "Oh yes? I remember someone told me that the third lady of the Xia family is superb in chess, why is the third miss so humble? ”
When Xia Ruan heard this, he chuckled in his heart.
Who the hell is this person? Why do you know who she is? (To be continued......)
