Chapter 35: The Loyal to the King's House
When Lin Daiyu saw Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu, she originally planned to call them, but she was afraid that Lin Mo was beside her, and although Daiyu knew them, they didn't know Daiyu, so they had to go back to the temple with the nun to eat fasting first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Lin Mo was full of nuns in the temple, he went out for a walk alone after dinner. Daiyu and Aunt Ye were here, and the abbot of Panxiang Temple invited them to move to a seat for tea. Recounting the old affairs of the Lin family, it turns out that this Panxiang Temple also had many contacts with the ancestors of the Lin family in the early years.
Lin Daiyu thought about Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan, and it was not easy to leave at will, so she had to sit there and listen to the chatter of the resident. The abbot talked for a long time, and he realized that he had talked too much, so he said with a smile: "There are no young people in our temple who can accompany the young lady to enjoy the scenery and talk. It just so happens that there are a few rented houses in the temple around here, and there are two well-read and well-informed girls of the same age. ”
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Thank you Abbot for your trouble." I was thinking that I heard that my grandfather's family had a relative here, so he lived in the house in the temple, and I was ready to go and visit him! ”
The abbot hurriedly asked, "Which family is your grandfather's relative?" I don't know what the surname is? ”
Lin Daiyu said: "The surname is Xing, and he is a relative of the eldest uncle's mother. ”
The abbot said, "Coincidentally, I just said that it is a girl from his family. Lin Daiyu said: "It's good to be a girl from this family." In addition, I heard my aunt say that there is a girl in your temple who has led a monk, I wonder if I can please come out and see it? ”
The abbot thought for a moment and said, "Please don't need to ask, just say it." She originally came to the temple with her master to place an order, and she was also a young lady from an official eunuch's family, but she had a strange temper, lest she collide with Miss Lin, which made the old nun uneasy. ”
Lin Daiyu said: "Don't worry, I just want to have a sister who understands Buddhism to talk to." Even if you are annoyed for a while, you don't blame the people of your temple. ”
The abbot said to the nun who served the tea, "Go and invite the eldest girl of the criminal family and the girl Miaoyu to come." And the nun went at once.
After a while, when they arrived at the torture family, the nun said, "There is a young lady surnamed Lin who came to the temple to offer incense, saying that she has some relatives with your family, so the abbot asked me to invite your girl to come over and talk to the young lady of the pilgrim family." ”
When Xing Xiuyan's mother heard this, she wondered when there was a relative surnamed Lin in the family, and because she lived in a house in the temple, it was difficult to excuse herself, so she said: "Xiuyan went to play chess with Miaoyu." When the nun heard this, she took her leave and went to Miaoyu.
It is said that Xing Xiuyan's mother thought about it left and right, but she couldn't think of a clue, and it happened that Xing Xiuyan's father came back and repeated what the nun said. Xing Xiuyan's father thought for a while and said, "There is." The Jia family that my sister married to, isn't the son-in-law of his family surnamed Lin? I heard that it is a former detective, and the ancestor is also a prince, and it happens to be from Suzhou, so it must be this family. ”
As soon as Xing Xiuyan's mother heard that people were rich and noble, she felt a little uncomfortable, worried that her daughter had been wronged. Here, the nun also came to the gate of the courtyard where Miaoyu lived. She knew that this Miaoyu was very strange, so she didn't enter the courtyard gate, but only spoke at the door: "Miaoyu monk, the abbot asked me to invite you to talk to the young lady of the pilgrim family." Miss Xiuyan also goes! ”
When Xing Xiuyan heard this, he hurriedly stood up. Miaoyu said: "Sit down, let's play chess and take care of them!" Xing Xiuyan didn't want to go, and it was not far away, and the nun heard it outside, so she said: "I want to tell you, this young lady of the pilgrim family is not ordinary, and she is also a relative of Miss Xing's family. ”
As soon as Xing Xiuyan heard that he was a relative of his family, it was not good to stay here to play chess because of the etiquette. Miaoyu was already arrogant and didn't like to be sent by the nuns in this temple, and when she heard this, she suddenly became angry, and she couldn't sit still when she looked at Xing Xiuyan again, so she had to put down the chess pieces and said, "Play again tomorrow." So she put the screen window down, closed the door, said a word to her master, and followed the nun to the temple.
Here, Lin Daiyu spoke to the abbot and Aunt Ye for a while, and then came out to wait for them. Not long after, I saw a nun leading the two girls to this side, and they greeted them. As soon as the three of them saw each other, the nun withdrew and went about her business. Lin Daiyu exchanged names here, so she walked along Merlin and talked.
Miaoyu originally came with anger, and when she saw a beautiful and delicate girl coming out from afar, the unhappiness in her heart went out for three or four points, and then she saw that although the girl was young, she was very good at dressing, and then said a few words, and felt that the conversation was not those vulgar fans, and she couldn't help but look at her differently.
The three of them walked with Merlin and saw a few plum blossoms, so Miaoyu invited Daiyu to play chess. Daiyu said: "I am normal in chess, but I am afraid that I am not as good as the two. Miaoyu said: "Okay, it's just a pastime to pass the time, is it still a good karma?" Xing Xiuyan said with a smile: "My sister doesn't know, Master Miaoyu has always liked these piano, chess, calligraphy, paintings, and poems, and no one in the countryside can accompany her, so she chose me in desperation and taught me some hand-in-hand." Since you're here today, it's like Boya met Zhong Ziqi, and she won't let you go again. ”
Daiyu smiled and said, "Even so, you can't be accompanied." Miaoyu said: "I have good tea there, and I won't treat you badly." Lin Daiyu knew Miaoyu's actions and nodded. So the three of them walked through a few plum blossoms to the courtyard where Miaoyu lived.
Lin Daiyu and Miaoyu played chess behind the screen window, first collecting the old chessboard and then taking out a new set of chess. It is obviously a chessboard made of wood, but the tentacles are very heavy, and the chess pieces are also wood grain, which are rounded and smooth one by one, and they are lightly knocked on the chessboard, and the sound is crisp. Daiyu knew that she had a lot of good things around her, and she was not surprised, but she could see Miaoyu's heart.
Xing Xiuyan was not worried about her family, so she went home. Miaoyu and Daiyu played chess pieces and played chess, and Daiyu's chess strength was not weak, but it was inevitable to lose to Miaoyu. Miaoyu suddenly met a peer who could play against him, and he couldn't bear to let go of anything, so the two played chess twice, Daiyu won once, lost two games, and felt that she had been sitting for a long time, so she had to get up and take a walk.
Miaoyu's chess was not finished, and Daiyu's expression was a little tired, so she had to stop. She put away the chessboard, scooped some water into a small jar in the house, put it in a small teapot, and fanned the fire of a small tea-stove, and put a teapot on the stove.
Lin Daiyu watched her movements, and saw that she took advantage of the boiling water to go to Duobaoge to take down a porcelain jar, and as soon as she opened it, there was a refreshing fragrance of flowers. Miaoyu took out another small jar from the porcelain jar, carefully scooped out some tea leaves from it with a clean wooden spoon, put them in the teapot, turned back to her and said, "This is the wild tea I picked on the old tea tree on the top of the mountain when I passed by Huangshan with my master, and I have smoked it with dried white plum blossoms in the jar, and I haven't eaten it once." It just so happened that you were here today, so it was not abrupt to use this hospitality. ”
Lin Daiyu was full of interest, and when she heard her say that it was wild tea on the top of the Yellow Mountain, she was even more curious. At this time, a nun came to me again and said, "The abbot has asked me to invite Miss Lin to dinner!" ”
Miaoyu said outside: "Go back and tell your abbot that Miss Lin is eating tea with me, and I will personally send her over after a while." ”
