Chapter 23 Karma
After saying goodbye to the Hou Zen Monastery of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the merchants were still a little sneering, with some vague smiles on their faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
took the oil-paper umbrella in the hands of the monk who sent him out, and politely declined Xuanzang's kindness. The merchant paced unhurriedly to the front hall under the snowflakes.
It was no surprise that I found the green sleeves of sincere children in the Guanyin Palace, and made a few jokes with her, looking at her blushing and delicate appearance, the joy in my heart was about to overflow.
has two brothers, Green Sleeves and Li Mo, the family is together peacefully, in this life, she is satisfied!
The insoluble mysteries that Master Xuanzang said were like a breeze blowing across the water, but they brought a shallow ripple, and when they turned around, they melted silently like snow flakes falling to the ground, and they were left behind by her in the blink of an eye.
"The snow elephant is getting bigger, we might as well go back sooner!" The merchant held up the oil-paper umbrella, took the hand of the green sleeve, and smiled at her blushing.
"Hmmm! Uncle doesn't know if he's coming back? His legs and feet are not good, and it is not good when he gets cold. Greensleeves nodded.
All the requests she asked for in the temple today have been done, and there is no need to stay any longer, if you really want to have some vegetarian food in the temple or something, it is better to stay until the weather is good next day.
The two of them carried umbrellas out of the hall, talking and laughing all the way, slowly walking along the bluestone road between the palaces, and from time to time there were good men and women who rushed back before the snow fell past the two.
Outside the temple, the merchant saw the old king waiting in front of his carriage.
The two got into the carriage one after another, took out the towel in the small drawer in the carriage, wiped the snow foam floating on their bodies, and then sat down.
The merchant bent his index finger and tapped on the wall of the car, the old king raised his whip knowingly, the horse snorted, and the oil wall car was mixed in the traffic from the temple, and slowly moved along the roadway.
After turning a street, the carriage suddenly stopped, only to hear a commotion ahead, and after a while, the carriage in which the two were riding slowly retreated.
The merchant was surprised, and when he lifted the curtain to look, the carriage on the right hand side was also slowly retreating with the car array, and the woman sitting in the car thought that she didn't know why, poked her head out to watch, and saw the merchant open the curtain, smiled at the merchant kindly, and nodded.
The merchant smiled back, lowered the curtain, lifted the corner of the curtain, and asked softly:
"Uncle Wang! What's going on? ”
"Lao Wang doesn't know, he only knows that the cars in front of him are retreating, and Lao Wang can't, so he has to retreat." Lao Wang turned around and said to the two people in the curtain.
The merchant was puzzled, and suddenly heard the sound of the street whip in the distance, a total of 6636 rings, and he couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look at the side, and the green sleeves also had a confused look on his face.
"Queen?" Shang Shang smiled strangely.
On this snowy day, where is she going?
For some reason, Shang Shang suddenly had some strange feelings in his heart, thinking of the green cloth oil wall car that passed by when he went out in the morning, he couldn't help but feel a slight move in his heart, as if something was going to happen.
"It doesn't matter! Let's just follow behind and wait for someone to go! ”
Since it is the queen who leaves the palace, she must be guarded before and after, and there are many people, so she can't come in a hurry.
"Hey! Listen to the girl! Lao Wang agreed, and controlled the horse to retreat with the traffic.
After about three pillars of incense, the traffic slowly moved again.
Green sleeves rubbed her feet a little unbearably, she didn't expect it to snow when she went out in the morning, she only wore a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with lotus patterns on her feet, stepped on the snow for a long time, and now it is already semi-wet, and she can't stand the cold.
"Cold, huh?" The merchant looked at the little face of the green sleeves and was a little white from the cold, and he felt a little reluctant.
She has practiced martial arts for many years, but her body has become stronger and stronger, and her steps are much lighter, look at the embroidered shoes under her feet, except for the bottom slightly stained with muddy water, but the upper is still dry and clean, and she secretly praises in her heart: This martial arts practice is indeed a lot of benefits!
"Take off those embroidered shoes first! There is no one else in this car, and it will take a while to get home! Don't freeze out of these wet shoes and socks. As he spoke, he reached out to take off her shoes and socks.
Green Sleeves hurriedly pushed her hand and said, "I'll come by myself, this is mud and water, don't get your hands dirty." As he spoke, he took off his embroidered shoes, pulled off his socks, and covered his two small snow-white feet under his skirt to keep warm.
Seeing that she refused to let herself help, the merchant knew that it was because he had served him that he had served him, and he was not reluctant, so he only turned around and turned the small charcoal stove embedded in the wall of the carriage in the corner of the carriage to make it more prosperous, and rummaged through the small drawer to see if there were spare socks, so that she could change them, so that she would not fall ill after the cold while wearing wet socks.
When the carriage stopped at the door of the kitchen road, the feet of the green sleeves had been replaced with a pair of clean white socks, fortunately they were prepared in the carriage, otherwise the warm feet covered suddenly put on cold wet socks, and the merchant was really afraid that her body would not be able to stand it.
He and Green Sleeves went into the inner courtyard together, and parted under the porch, and the merchant went back to his house.
When Xiao Tao saw her coming back, she hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and brought it in, and handed it to the merchant.
The merchant took it a little absent-mindedly, and sipped it casually, the warm fragrance of tea penetrated through his heart, and his whole body was comfortable. The thirty-six rings of the street whip, when I think about it at this time, is actually a little shocking.
Xiao Tao observed the merchant's face on the side, suspicious.
It's just that I went out with the second lady to have an incense, why does my own lady come back like this?
The merchant's gaze wandered aimlessly over the four-o'clock sandalwood burner on the multi-treasure grid in the room, and the uneasiness and worry in his heart lingered like a shadow.
It can't be blamed on the businessman's sensitivity, the cyan oil-walled car can be seen to be finely workmanlike, although the wood and curtain materials are not of the highest quality, but the workmanship alone is extraordinary, not to mention that when the two cars staggered by, the faint but extremely fragrant smell of palace sandalwood made her suspicions even heavier.
If it is said that there are many people in Chang'an City who can use the palace to make sandalwood, but these people's cars and horses will be marked with special nameplates, and such ownerless cars use palace-made sandalwood, which is a suspicious thing in itself.
And the direction in which the carriage was going was another reason for the merchants to be suspicious, and that direction was ...... It is where the famous Ganye Temple is located!
In addition, the queen's car, which was almost out of the palace with front and rear feet, would even go in that direction! This thing...... It's very intriguing!
It is said that the extremely famous king and queen in history are almost known to everyone about driving wolves at the front door and entering the tiger at the back door, even she, who doesn't know much about history books, has heard of it.
But for some reason, since she saw Queen Wang in Zhaoyang Hall that time, she had a trace of doubt about this statement.
If you want to say that she is offering women to the emperor, her Wang family has a big business, a prosperous population, and so many beautiful women? There is no need for the queen to find a nun who is cultivating in the temple and introduce it into the palace.
What's more, this woman still carries the name of a former emperor's concubine? With the so-called virtuous and rational queen Wang and queen, how could she allow her husband to welcome a former emperor's concubine to enter? Not to mention that she came forward and brought Wu Meiniang into the palace?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was impossible!
"I'm just going to take a look, and if it's okay, I'll leave quickly." The merchant said to himself secretly.
It's not that she's curious, but she can't get around this matter at all, as long as Li Zhi is Li Mo's brother, then she can't stay out of this matter.
She also understands that the less she knows about these royal secrets, the better, even if Li Zhi intervenes in his affairs, he may not necessarily give her a good face.
But if you don't take a look, as long as you think of the pressure that Li Mo may be under unguard, I am afraid that I will not be able to feel at ease!
After figuring out this section, the merchant no longer hesitated and sent the little peach on the side out. Close the door, open the wardrobe, and rummage through a set of autumn-colored silver-trimmed Hu clothes, bound arrow sleeves, and bloomer legs.
The merchant quickly took off the thick undergarment on his body, put the hufu on his body, tied the legs of his bloomers tightly, and put on the soft-soled mocskin boots resting on the shoe rack next to the door.
In front of the dressing table, he took off all the beads and hairpins on his head with a bronze mirror, tied a big braid on his head with a big braid on his head, tied it tightly with a stone blue hairband, and shook it from side to side to make sure that it would not fall apart, so he nodded with satisfaction.
After thinking about the little peach guarding the door, the merchant raised his voice and ordered: "Little peach! I'm a little tired, I want to crook for a while, don't let you not come in, if the second lady calls for dinner, you go back for me. ”
"Yes!" Although Xiao Tao outside the door was a little puzzled, the merchant had always had a big idea at home, and she didn't think much about it anymore, just thought that the girl was really tired, and said yes and went away.
The merchant waited for the footsteps outside the door to go away, listened close to the door, and then put down the curtain on the bed with confidence, and made a sound sleep, but he turned over, and lightly turned out of the open pane, and landed in the corner of the back wall where no one was around, glanced left and right, ran two steps, stretched out his feet on the wall, and turned out of the backyard with strength.
The back street of the kitchen road is a secluded alley, and every evening when the shop is closed, there are always servants who carry the swill from the kitchen to the back door and wait for someone to take it away, when it is still early and snowing, and there is no one in the alley.
Shang Shang settled down slightly, raised his eyes to see where he was, and ran in the direction of Ganye Temple without looking back.
The snow became bigger, and it was originally a fine salt particle, but at this time it had become like a poplar flower, and it fell all over people's faces, and the chill became heavier.
The pedestrians on the street gradually disappeared, and the shops on both sides were also half closed, ready to close at any time. Occasionally, one or two walked by the merchant, bowing their heads, holding an umbrella, and protecting their collars.
This snow was an excellent cover for the merchant, and her whereabouts were perfectly concealed.
The guards in front of the mountain gate of the Ganye Temple are heavily guarded, and the sergeants wearing the uniform armor of the Yulin Army stand quietly in two columns in the heavy snow, faithfully exercising their duties, and surrounding the entire Ganye Temple through wind and rain.
In the distance, the merchant saw the tip of the blade that the soldiers held in their hands and shone with a cold light.
The bright yellow phoenix chariot quietly stopped at the gate of the Ganye Temple in the wind and snow, luxurious, and magnificent, and the dazzling yellow silk curtain flickered against the background of the pale blue roof tiles of the Ganye Temple, which was as sharp as a sword out of the sheath.
The golden bells in the corner of the car "tinkling" in the wind, and the sound spread far away with the wind.
The emperor is really coming! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
