Chapter 69: Opening the Cave (1)

In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, on the last day of September, the poplar forest in front of the Thousand Buddha Caves outside the city became a piece of gold as never before, and the broken gold shone under the strong sunlight, and the good Buddha all said that this is the Buddha's light floating.

The people of Dunhuang City poured out of the city, and rushed to the Thousand Buddha Cave after the five watch drums. There are even some believers who came all the way from Ganzhou and Guazhou to settle down in Dunhuang a few days earlier, just for a grand meeting in front of the 30,000 Buddha caves in September.

Shazhou guard general for the fallen soldiers to open the cave to build Buddha, set up an altar to worship, it is an unheard of miracle, but meet the monk who returned from Tianzhu to seek Buddhism for 17 years, to personally preside over the blessing ceremony of this cave, the date is set on September 30, the day of the Buddha's birthday. There were many believers in the Shazhou area, and it spread, and it suddenly became a grand Buddhist meeting.

On such days, it is the female dependents who are the most excited. The wife of the Kang family dragged the wind spirit to stay at her house overnight, so they set off together early the next morning. Feng Ling was reluctant to take Ah Mi to stay in Yongning Fang.

Sure enough, just after the fourth watch, there was a sharp knock on the door. Feng Ling only called as the maid of the Kang family, and muttered angrily in a hazy manner: "I don't see such a urgency in urging my life." Go back to your mother, and get up. ”

The door was opened with a "creak", and Ah Mi yawned and opened the door apologetically: "Mi Niangzi forgive me, the eldest lady has always been in a bad mood when she gets up in the morning, and after a while, it will be fine when she wakes up." ”

Mi raised his legs and entered the house, and said with a loud smile: "I also said that I am the master of Gu Fang, I am an old and stable person, who wants to enter the bed is still a child, and someone has to coax me to get up." ”

The wind spirit was halfway awake by her stirring up. Mi Shi sat down on the edge of the couch with a smile, stretched out his hand and pushed her a few times through the quilt, "Don't complain that I didn't say it, the gate of Zhichong Mansion was opened half an hour ago, and it is estimated that Captain Yan Du has taken people out of the city, you can't afford it?" ”

"Sister-in-law is so serious. It's about dawn, and I'm still talking nonsense in my dreams. The wind spirit was pulled down from his face, revealing a smiling face, but he was fully awake.

Mi Shi brushed her beautiful face with pity, "The matter of opening the cave is not stubborn, I have tired you for several days, and my little face is sharp." I don't know how much Captain Yandu understands. ”

"It's not necessarily all for him." Feng Ling got off the bed, took the clean silk handkerchief and tooth balm from Ah Qi's hand, and fiddled with the washing.

Mi sat on the edge of the couch for a while, saw that she was going to change her clothes and makeup, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly came to her side to pick up the dress to compare, but when Feng Ling came over, she only brought a few dresses, and after a period of nagging and persuasion, the jade, water, and moon-white plain dresses were thrown aside by Mi.

Finally, it was a blue plain shirt, tied with a bright water-red curly grass pattern silver clay skirt, because the weather was slightly cold, and a diamond flower half arm was added outside. Under the resolute refusal of the wind spirit, Mi Shi stopped and did not wrap a collar of pine green silk around her arm.

Feng Ling stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked himself up and down, turned his face and looked at the red and green next to him, dressed very lively, and he didn't realize how dazzling his body was.

Mi Shi was satisfied with the wind spirit and turned around in place, more and more interesting, and pressed her to sit in front of the makeup mirror, combed her bun and grease, and inserted hairpins.

For most of the hour, the wind spirit fell asleep again in front of the makeup mirror with his eyes closed. Until Mi slapped her on the shoulder, waking her up, "Look, look, there are not a few such people in Manshazhou." ”

Feng Ling opened her eyes, and the bun of pearls and jade in the bronze mirror lined her dazed face, teaching her to tremble from the bottom of her heart. Mi Shi next to him picked out a crystal bead inlaid with Yingluo circle from the makeup box, and Ah Mi and the maid of Kang Zhai were watching her skillfully stack her head on the wind spirit head with admiration.

Feng Ling hurriedly pushed Mi's hand away, "Sister-in-law adds more objects, Feng Ling's neck can't stand it." ”

Michaels seemed particularly excited, giggling until he covered his waist. After a few rounds of avoidance, Feng Ling finally took off a pair of red gold carved hairpins from his head, a circle of Huasheng with pearl tassels hanging down, and a few small blonde hair nails with five petals of scattered flowers, revealing a slanted playful snail bun, and two circles of gold leaf tassels coiled around the root of the bun.

"It's so unusual." Mi Shi couldn't help shaking his head, "The Buddha cave has half of your funding, and if the cave is opened today, you and Du Wei will preside over it, so do you want to stand by his side so casually and simply?" ”

Since Mi Shi learned of his wishes, everything was used as a threat, Feng Ling regretted teaching her to know, and at this time she made up her mind, saying that she could not allow her sister-in-law to pile gold and jade flowers on her head.

During the dispute, the little maid outside the door knocked on the door and reported: "Is the lady okay here?" Ah Lang urged to leave. The big family in Suofu next door has just passed over. ”

"Go back to your house, Ah Lang, and that's it." Mi Shi hurriedly dealt with the little maid who was passing the word with a hairpin in his hand, and was about to put a hairpin on the wind spirit's bun, but suddenly taught the wind spirit to hold his arm. "Sister-in-law, let me ask you, in the New Year's Festival last year, the deer-shaped hairpin, is it still there?"

Michael's fingers trembled, and the hairpin fell on the makeup table, "You, what do you ask that thing for?" ”

A strange smile appeared on the wind spirit's face, "That hairpin, speaking of which, is very much to my liking. My sister-in-law thinks that my bun is empty, and it is not bad to have a hairpin. ”

The smile on Mi's face twitched slightly, and he stared at the wind spirit's face in shock, half panicked and half surprised.

A moment later, the drum of the five watches rumbled, and the two carriages and an ox cart in front of the Kang Zhai finally started slowly, and Kang Dazhi rode a horse in front of him impatiently urging, complaining in a loud voice, "The woman's house is the most chaotic, grinding, five nights have passed, and the city gate is crowded for a while, to see how to get out of the city." ”

Mi and Kang Dazhi's concubine Ho and two maidservants sat in the carriage and were excited and excited, ignoring him and sulking outside. Feng Ling and Ah Qi sat in the carriage behind them, and Ah Qi glanced worriedly at the hairpin next to Feng Ling's bun from time to time.

Feng Ling raised his hand to help the deer-shaped golden hairpin, and raised his eyebrows at Ah Qi, "I didn't abandon it that day, and on a day like today, maybe it can be of great use." Ignoring Ah Mi's frightened look, he became complacent.

Although the large and small carriages and horses waiting to leave the city were very surprised, after all, the sky was not yet transparent, and it was not clear to see the situation, but when she really arrived at the Thousand Buddha Cave, the sky was already bright, and the first glance of the carriage shocked her.

All kinds of chances, the ceremony of opening the cave has achieved such a grand event, but the crowd in front of her, there is no end to the sea of people on both sides, but she did not expect, even if it is the Buddha bathing festival in spring, it has never been so lively.

Everyone came with their families, bringing the old and the young, and they had to pay the tent and enter the incense, and they were crowded all over the place. The peddlers carry their burdens and squeeze into the crowd to sell, from fragrant flower candles, colored thread embroidered bags, to pastries and food, apricot cheese and plum syrup, all kinds of colors.
