Chapter 52: Daxiangguo Temple
On the second day after returning home, Moyu took a carriage to the royal temple, the famous Daxiangguo Temple. When the chrysanthemums are in full bloom at the time of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info there is an endless stream of pilgrims in Xiangguo Temple, rubbing shoulders one after another.
Daxiangguo Temple, formerly known as Jianguo Temple. Founded in the Northern Qi Dynasty Tianbao six years, Tang Ruizong to commemorate its ascension to the throne by the Xiangwang, given the name of the Great Xiangguo Temple.
Mo Yu, Xiang Rong and the others were all dressed as ordinary people, mingling in the crowded temple. On the incense, then follow the people to the backyard of the temple to walk, a large open space, full of colorful chrysanthemums, wild chrysanthemums, Mao Hua chrysanthemum, chamomile, small red chrysanthemum, multi-headed chrysanthemum, strong chrysanthemum, cliff chrysanthemum, art chrysanthemum, desk chrysanthemum, appearance shape like a garden hug, like a retreat hug, like a chaotic hug, open heart hug, the color is red and white, there are orange and purple, some are single petals, some are flat petals, and some are spoon petals. The same plant can show a kaleidoscopic variety of facets.
Xiang Rong is the most happy, after reading this one and watching the other, each of them is what she likes, jumping like a butterfly flying on a flower. "Haha, it's beautiful. It's a shame that Biyue didn't come. ”
Biyue went to see her family yesterday and didn't talk much since she came back. There is another person in Mo Lanxuan who is silent and silent, and Mo Yu can also understand that she was originally happy to see her family, but her family didn't treat her very well, I'm afraid it's very sad!
Ma Gonggong said anxiously on the side: "Ouch, little ancestor, you be careful, be careful of bumping into others." ”
It's a pity that the little girl is playing the side, so she can't listen to it! Mo Yu shook his head with a smile and persuaded Ma Gonggong to be fair: "Let her go, if she doesn't suffer a loss, she won't have a long memory." ”
"That's what Madame said. This chrysanthemum is so beautiful that even the old slave doesn't want to leave. ”
The great poet Mr. Du Fu once described the chrysanthemum like this: the cold flowers have bloomed, and the chrysanthemum is the only branch. Qiu Ju, like Dongmei, is the most arrogant and unique existence in autumn and winter, and no one dares to compete with them. Ju is one of the four gentlemen, and naturally has its charm that makes people can't take their eyes off it. ”
Autumn is high and cool, the fallen leaves are colorful, only the sky and the earth are left wide, when the freshness and barrenness, the chrysanthemum is like a flame and perseverance alone, showing the endless life in the world, and the nobility after fading the morning flower.
"Sister Ji?"
A voice calling her came from behind her, and Mo Yu turned to see that it was Zhao Danxiu. I haven't seen him for half a year, and I have become more and more marked, and I seem to be more mature.
Zhao Danxiu stepped forward with a smile and said, "It's really Sister Ji, I thought I was wrong?" Horse ......"
Mo Yu hurriedly took over and said with a smile: "This is Steward Ma." ”
Ma Gonggong is a popular person around the emperor, and people in the nobility who have entered the palace once or twice know him, and Zhao Danxiu is no exception. Then he bowed and saluted, "Steward Ma." ”
Ma Gonggong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Zhao Danxiu and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." Then he turned to Moyu and said, "Madam, then I'll take Xiangrong to look elsewhere." ”
"Hmm. I'm tired of you looking at her a little. "There are a lot of sons of the family here, and it's not a trivial matter to collide with any of them. After Gonggong Ma nodded, he said to Zhao Danxiu: "Why do you have time to come over to enjoy the flowers?" ”
Zhao Danxiu was a little uncomfortable, in fact, there was not much communication with this Sister Ji, but they had only met a few times. Originally, she thought that Sister Ji would marry a noble son in Beijing, but not long after she didn't want to meet, she had been favored by the emperor and canonized as a concubine, and she was known all over the city. At that time, there was an uproar in Beijing, and many sons who were happy with her could only reach her.
"Concubine Li...... "Maybe she shouldn't call her Sister Ji, but Concubine Li.
"Shh Mo Yu gently pressed her lips and said with a smile: "Whether it is in the past, present or future, whether in the palace or outside the palace, I hope you can call me sister." ”
"But it's not in order."
"Hehe, how can you be unruly, Zhongting calls me sister, shouldn't you call me sister?"
Zhao Danxiu sank his face and muttered: "I haven't seen him for a long time, he doesn't attend the party, and I don't dare to inquire about him too obviously." ”
The woman in the boudoir has the most important reputation, how can she blatantly ask an unmarried man! It's really hard for this little girl. "He's not in Beijing now."
Zhao Danxiu was surprised, "If he is not in Beijing, where did he go?" ”
"Battlefield."
"Battlefield? Sister means to say that he ...... He went to war. ”
"Yes." Looking at Zhao Danxiu's unbelievable eyes, Mo Yu couldn't bear it in her heart, "Would you blame him?" Blame him for not telling you when he's gone. ”
Zhao Danxiu shook his head and said in frustration: "He didn't give me any hope in the first place, nor did he promise me anything. Who am I to blame him? ”
"He, rejected you?"
Thinking of the scene of meeting that day, Zhao Danxiu shook his head. "I don't know."
One day, Zhao Danxiu finally saw Ji Zhongting on his stomach, so he asked him if he had a favorite marriage partner, Ji Zhongting shook his head and said no. Zhao Danxiu asked him again what he thought of her, and Ji Zhongting replied that the girl was very good. After that, there was no more communication. With these ambiguous words, I don't know what Ji Zhongting's attitude is.
Mo Yu took Zhao Danxiu's arm and walked forward slowly, saying as he walked: "The fate of the two of you, I will definitely try my best to help if I can, and I also want to see a lover finally become a family." But Danxiu, what I can help is limited, after all, feelings are a matter of the two of you, marriage is destined, if you are destined to have no fate, no matter how much I do, it will not help. ”
"Sister, I understand. But I still want to try as hard as I can, try my best, and even if we end up on separate sides, I won't regret it, because I tried. ”
"Hehe, I was surprised by your idea, Danxiu, I haven't seen you for half a year, you have matured." Even if it's herself, such an idea is just daring to think and not dare to do.
Zhao Danxiu smiled and said, "Sister, people say that love makes people stupid, why did I become mature!" ”
Mo Yu thought about it, probably because she was unrequited! But it hurts to say that. "This is not absolute, there is always an exception, you say yes!"
"My sister will make fun of me."
"You're my sister, I don't kid you guys!"
"Nasty."
"Haha, it's you who are joking. You have the ability to catch me! ”
"Stop, haha."
Zhao Danxiu raised her hand and was about to hit her, but Moyu cleverly dodged it. Zhao Danxiu was wondering, why did Sister Ji dodge so fast! So he chased after her again to fight, where would Moyu wait for her, and trotted forward.
In the midst of laughter, Moyu's sight appeared in the figure of Sikong Jun. So he stopped trotting, approached slowly, and said with a smile: "When did Childe arrive?" ”
Literati are always inseparable from fans in their hands, no, Sikong Jun changed the fan again today, but the color matches his clothes very well. She wondered, then why had she never seen Ji Boyuan or Ji Zhongting hold a fan?
He had come early in the morning, but he had never been able to find Moyu. Later, when I met Ma Gonggong and Xiangrong, I knew that Moyu was here, so I rushed over non-stop. When he finally saw the person she was thinking of, there was another woman standing beside her, and he was not easy to approach, standing at a distance and silently watching her, watching her talk, watching her laugh, watching her trot like a happy child.
He thought that if he could look at her like this every day in this life, even if it was just standing in the distance and silently looking at her, it would be enough. It'......s a pity, alas, "I just arrived, and I walked slowly from there, and I don't want to run into you here." Actually, it's good if you call me Sikong, Gongzi's son, it's too outward, Boyuan and I are still called brothers! ”
Mo Yu didn't squirm either, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Sikong in the future." You can call me Moyu too. ”
"Okay, Moyu." He was happy to call it that.
"Sister......
"Ouch......"
Two voices rang out at the same time. Zhao Danxiu trotted over, but she didn't expect Moyu to stop, and she couldn't help but bump into her back, Moyu exclaimed, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize her figure.
Zhao Danxiu raised her head, stroked her dizzy head, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sister, who made you stop suddenly." ”
Feelings, is this still her fault? Hum. Mo Yu reached out and touched her forehead, fortunately it was not swollen, and said with concern: "Where else did it hurt?" ”
"No, no." Zhao Danxiu put down his hand, and then found the boy standing on the side, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the prince of Sikong." ”
Sikong frowned slightly, he didn't know this woman. "The girl is ......"
Without waiting for Moyu's introduction, Zhao Danxiu said to herself: "The little woman's surname is Zhao, although the son doesn't know me, but I know the son." ”
Sikong Jun's grandfather is in the position of Taifu, that is, the teacher of today's saint, although the emperor has no prince now, and he does not need this Taifu, but no one in the court dares to ignore the influence of this Sikong Taifu, he is a good friend of the emperor. Since everyone knows Sikong Taifu, his grandson naturally knows him too.
There are not a few people with the surname Zhao in Beijing, but there are not two people with the surname Zhao in the court, and they can easily guess who it is. "But the daughter of Zhao Shilang's family?"
"Exactly."
"Then how can you call Sister Moyu?"
Zhao Danxiu glanced at Moyu and said with a smile: "My sister once saved my life, and in order to express my gratitude, I called my sister." ”
, she has become a shield for this girl. obviously wants to be her younger sister, so she wants to call her sister, and she found such a reason in a high-sounding way, cut.
Sikong Jun suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the person Mo Yu saved last time was a girl." ”
"Childe's guess is not bad at all."
"It turns out that the three of us have such a fate! Ha ha. After he came back, he listened to the people in Beijing, saying that it was the eldest lady of the Ji family who had just appeared, who was a blockbuster and saved the Zhao family's young lady Zhao Danxiu and the Liu family's salary Liu Chenxuan at the same time in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Yes, I didn't expect Childe to meet my sister, it's really fate."
This voice is not the three of them, Mo Yu looked behind Sikong Jun, Ji Fei was dressed in light chrysanthemum clothes, and walked over, and when he walked in front of Si Kong Jun, Shi Li saluted and said with a smile: "Jade has seen Gongzi." ”
Moyu has a headache, why is she here? Even if you want to come, why didn't you come with her last night, it makes it seem like a sister's feud now. Sikong Jun bowed his head slightly, which was regarded as a return of courtesy, and said, "Why didn't Miss Ji come to enjoy the flowers, why didn't I see you just now?" ”
Ji Feiyu glanced at Mo Yu, with some resentment, and said with a smile: "I came with my sister, but the flowers over there are more beautiful, so I'll go over and take a look first." How come Childe also has time to enjoy the flowers? ”
Sikong Jun smiled slightly embarrassed, of course he came to see the flowers, to see the most beautiful flower. "It's okay today, so let's take a look at the view."
Ji Feicui turned his head to look at the large sea of chrysanthemums behind him, and said, "The garden is full of flowers, and it is indeed a beautiful scene." Although they are all chrysanthemums here, I don't know many varieties, so I wonder if Childe can help me explain a thing or two? ”
"This ......" Sikong was a little embarrassed, he came to see Moyu, not to explain the flower seeds, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" ”
Mo Yu and Zhao Danxiu looked at each other and smiled, Ji Feicui's purpose couldn't be more obvious. Zhao Danxiu didn't know the Ji family's plans, so he didn't think it was anything, just the so-called fair lady, a gentleman is good, and this is not necessarily a gentleman. Mo Yu didn't think so, she knew the inside story, and the Yuan family had ordered her not to think about Sikong Jun anymore, but Ji Feicui was still "committing crimes against the wind", and she didn't know whether it was good or bad.
"Sister, let's go sit in the pavilion over there!" Zhao Danxiu proposed.
It's okay, anyway, she doesn't want to see Ji Feicui, and besides, she can't give Sikong Jun too much hope. "Okay, then Sikong, you can accompany Jade to go over there!"
Sikong agreed or didn't agree, so he could only stand where he was and watch her walk away silently. Ji Feicui's gums clenched tightly, secretly thinking that you are Zhao Danxiu, and you came to seduce Sikong in a charming way. Zhao Danxiu, who was not far away, accidentally sneezed a big one, secretly wondering who was scolding her behind her back.
"Miss Zhao is dignified and beautiful, gentle as water, if anyone can marry her, it is really a blessing for three lives!" Ji Feiyu said a word without being salty.
Sikong looked at Mo Yu's slender jade shadow, Ji Feiyu couldn't hear the previous sentence, but he heard the latter sentence clearly, and muttered: "Yes, if anyone can marry her, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Hmph, I'm glad you're big. "If Childe likes her, I can help you talk about matchmaking, after all, we are also good sisters."
"No, Miss Ji." Sikong turned his head to Ji Feicui and said, "The chrysanthemums are blooming very well over there, let's go over and take a look!" ”
The two people in the pavilion found an empty seat and sat down, although it was September, but after walking for so long, they were still very tired, and a thin sweat was dripping from their foreheads. Zhao Danxiu wiped her forehead with an embroidered handkerchief and said with a smile: "Hey, does Miss Ji like that Sikong Gongzi?" ”
"I don't know about this, and you know, I don't spend much time at home, and there are many things I don't know."
"However, they look like a good match, talented and beautiful, and they are the right people."
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "There are so many talented and beautiful men and women in this world, but how many couples can really marry the person they like." Either they don't look down on each other, or their parents oppose each other, or they have a feud. In short, for various reasons, most of them parted ways. ”
"But the Sikong family and the Ji family haven't heard of any feuds, and you see that the two of them have a good conversation, I am very optimistic about them."
Mo Yu smiled and took Zhao Danxiu's hand and said, "The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is beautiful, but it is a tragedy. Compared to them, I am still more optimistic about you and my second brother. ”
Zhao Danxiu shyly said, "Teasing me again." ”
"Okay, no more fun with you." Mo Yu pointed to the chrysanthemum in the distance and said, "Such a good chrysanthemum, if only it could be used to make pastries, or make some chrysanthemum wine." ”
Zhao Danxiu was puzzled, "Chrysanthemum wine?" Can chrysanthemums also be used to make wine? ”
"Yes, before I returned to Beijing, I often brewed some peach blossom wine, plum blossom wine, and also took some flower petals to make pastries, the taste is not bad, definitely you have not eaten."
Zhao Danxiu said happily: "Really, I want to try it too." ”
"If you want to taste it, if you can pick the chrysanthemums in this yard, I'll make it for you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"It's a deal."
"Walk the talk."
