Chapter 8 Big Buddha Temple
The next morning, Yang Leyi, who woke up, was complained by her father, it was nothing more than that her own girl was not so close to him, and she actually hugged someone else's thigh yesterday. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Leyi looked at him dumbfounded, you know, after all, my father is out of the city, and he is a military general, although he is not as tall and strong as his eldest uncle, but his demeanor is also rough. It's the first time I've seen this wronged appearance today! Besides, it's also the emperor's thigh, how dare Dad be wronged?
Liu hid his sleeves and smiled.
Yang Leyi had no choice but to run over and hug her father, and expressed her heartfelt expression with her actions.
Receiving his daughter's meaning, Yang Qi'an laughed loudly, and then left satisfied.
After breakfast, the group went out, and the carriage that had been prepared was waiting on the side.
The Hou Mansion is located in the south of the imperial city, three streets away from the palace, this area is inhabited by high-ranking families, this Hou Mansion is the prince of the three dynasties ago, the descendants are not angry, can not afford to support the house, it was also taken back by the imperial court, converted into silver.
Emperor Xuanwu ordered the Ministry of Labor to turn over the silver before giving it to their family.
They walked through the side door, and although it was a side door, it was very wide, and the four carriages plus the little maid and the maid were not crowded.
They each got into the carriage and walked in the direction of the Big Buddha Temple.
This is the first time I have gone out after coming to the capital, and the accompanying maids and ladies are not to mention how happy, their hands and feet are a little faster than usual.
The Great Buddha Temple is outside the north of the city, and they live in the south, so they can bypass the palace and go north through the east and west.
They went from the East Market this morning, and when they came back the day after tomorrow, they would go back to the West Market to see the difference between the East and West Markets.
When passing by the East Market, there are many restaurants outside, teahouses interspersed among them, and there are many rouge gouache shops, as well as hawkers who push carts to sell sugar gourds, sugar people, and other vendors, as well as stalls to sell snacks.
The various aromas wafting in the air made Yang Leyi greedy, no wonder several brothers ran out every day, too greedy.
Liu pulled the curtain down, there are many rules here, not as casual as the border city, and it is not good to be seen.
Yang Leyi turned around and found that her mother was also looking at it with great interest, so she leaned into her ear and said, "Don't worry, mother, I see that my grandmother and aunt are looking outside." "When I turned the corner, the curtains of the two carriages in front of me were fluttering.
"You're smart!" Liu Shi glanced at her with disgust: "Your head almost sticks out!" ”
"Hehe, mother, I know, let's just leave it at that, open it up a little bit."
Liu smiled and nodded.
When passing by the pastry shop, the old lady told her mother-in-law to buy some pastries, so that they could be hungry on the way.
Yang Leyi looked at all kinds of dim sum and tasted several bites, well, it was much more delicate than what she made at home, and the taste was also rich, so she couldn't help smiling and squinting.
The Liu family looked at her fondly, and she also ate a lot of what her daughter handed over, indeed, it should be soft and delicious.
When I walked to the northern city, I felt a lot quieter, and the greenery on both sides of the street was more dense. There is a small river on each side of the carriage driveway, and the weeping willows are lush along the river, and there is a small stone arch bridge connecting the lane to the other side of the river across the road.
There are also stone tables and chairs under the willow trees, and some of the young people sitting at the stone table are playing chess, some reading books alone, and some are discussing something around the elders.
Plaques of several colleges loom between the willows.
Is there such a place in this Tanglin Kingdom? This is similar to a modern college district and a university town, right? Yang Leyi's mouth opened in surprise.
Ask my dad one day, my brothers are going to school in a while, will they be here?
The carriage swayed and walked for a long time, the scenery outside the city was more natural, but the houses were lined up, the road was still wide, it turned out that this was not really outside the city, but the outer city, that is, the city that expanded around the original imperial city, which was slowly expanded in the three years since Emperor Xuanwu ascended the throne.
After all, she was too young, Yang Leyi couldn't hold back and fell asleep, and she was not awakened until the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the hill there is an open access platform, and there are stalls neatly placed on both sides of the platform, and there is a road behind the stalls, and on the other side of the road are shops selling some temple-related items.
At this time, in front of the stall and in the shop, there are people shopping. One side of the platform is already full of all kinds of carriages, and it seems that the incense is really prosperous!
A monk came up to make a Buddhist salute, and after the accompanying steward handed over the sign, another monk came to receive them and took their carriage to another place.
The number of carriages here is not large, but it is obviously different from the carriage just now, and it should be a place for officials or families. Their carriage is much simpler, no wonder they were only brought here after handing over the sign, Yang Leyi sighed at this hierarchical system from ancient times to the present.
There is another road leading to the temple, which is halfway up the mountain, and the slope is much gentler and there are few people.
After arriving at the courtyard arranged for them, it was just in time for fasting, and after eating fasting and after the lunch break, the old lady took them to burn incense and kowtow.
In her previous life, she accompanied her grandmother to do these things, Yang Leyi obediently followed their actions step by step, and the three-year-old girl did it with a clear eye. In the process of listening to the master of the scriptures, he can also not twist and move, which is quite eye-catching.
But she didn't know that she was really chanting scriptures in her heart, blessing her past family members and current family members to be healthy and happy.
At the end of the day, everyone was tired and didn't say anything all night.
On the second day, early in the morning, a well-dressed and conveniently dressed mother-in-law came to visit. It turned out that the Yongle Hou Mansion, who lived in the courtyard next door, handed over the message, saying that it was a morning fast, and the old lady of their family brought the children to get to know each other.
The old lady even said politely, and it was right for them to go, so she asked Mama Wang to follow her to bring a message to the old lady of Yongle Houlin, saying that it was too early to fast, so she took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to disturb her.
That mother-in-law is also an old man next to the old lady of Yongle Hou, she has some knowledge, and she does not shirk it, and she generously talks back to Mama Wang, and feels that this new Wuping Hou Mansion is very modest.
The two courtyards are not far away, and they will arrive in a while.
The old lady of Yongle Houlin is about fifty years old, wearing a purple plain gown, a little short, but in good spirits, with a white complexion and black hair, and she looks very kind.
After the two met for a salute, they each introduced the people around them.
Yongle Hou has only one son, and it is her daughter-in-law Qin who sits under her.
The Qin family looked about the same age as the Liu family, and he was also petite and lovely, dignified and beautiful, wearing an autumn-colored half-arm and a high-waisted Confucian skirt. Sitting next to her were her two daughters, nine-year-old eldest lady Lin Jingrong and five-year-old second miss Lin Jingyue.
When the Qin family saluted, the loose Confucian skirt could not cover the already bulging belly, and it was obvious that she was pregnant.
Congratulations to everyone.
When she saw Yang Leyi, Mrs. Lin asked happily: "This is the child who followed everyone to finish the evening class yesterday, it's really amazing, unlike our two leather monkeys, who have long gone crazy without knowing where to run." ”
Mrs. Yang smiled: "Thank you for your compliment, on the way to Beijing, this child has been sick for two days, and after getting better, he seems to have grown up and become a lot more sensible." This time, it was also for her to kowtow in front of the Buddha. I didn't think about it, she really had a lot of patience, haha. ”
"Amitabha, this child is a blessed one at first glance, my two granddaughters are also very well-behaved, if you don't dislike it, let them be closer and closer in the future, and be a companion, hehe."
Lin Jingrong stepped forward, took Yang Leyi's hand, and said with a smile: "That's good, this sister is so cute, and my sister will often come to my house to play in the future." ”
Lin Jingyue is also like a little adult, saying that she has a lot of fun treasures to play with her sister when the time comes.
Yang Leyi smiled and nodded, who can refuse the kindness of the cute baby.
The old lady, the Feng family, and the Liu family were a little surprised and happy about the kindness released by the Yongle Hou Mansion. In addition, Mrs. Lin is more talkative, the Qin family is generous and gentle, and the two young ladies look lively and cute, so the atmosphere is more harmonious.
