The Great Qi Dynasty is still a Buddha, and there are many temples in Beijing.

The ladies of the noble families usually visit the temples on the 15th of each month to pay homage to the Buddha, and each family has a fixed temple to visit and stay in the temple for one or two nights. Slowly, it developed into an inherent social pattern, with each temple having a fixed number of pilgrims, and each family having some regular temples. Usually before going to worship the Buddha next month, each family has to greet the temple at the end of the previous month and set up a courtyard. This is also convenient for other families to know which families will come to incense this time, although usually the temple will be kept secret, but the nobles of the family always have a channel to know, which is an open secret.

There are also many families who have set up an annex directly next to the temple to facilitate the accommodation of the Buddha. Therefore, although the large temples are like to be built on the outskirts of the mountains, there are many small courtyards built around them, and it is said that the land in the vicinity is quite expensive. These small courtyards lined with solemn temples have both the longevity of birth and the elegance of entering the world.

After An Jin came to recover from her illness, she was often brought by her mother to worship the Buddha, she observed it a few times, and was deeply shaken, this is completely the modern version of the high-end club, there is no such thing, flashed this thought, she also hurriedly recited a few Buddhas, and told the Buddha a sin.

There are two temples where Zhao often goes to worship the Buddha, one is close to the western suburbs of the outer city called Xining Temple, it is one of the four largest temples in the capital, it is said that it is the place where the first generation of the old marquis of Xining Hou of the four hereditary mansions of the founding of the country was born, and the name of the temple is the inscription of the ancestor emperor. It is also the place where the nobles of this dynasty worship the Buddha the most.

Another is located in the southern suburbs of the capital Qingyuan Mountain Baiyun Temple, this temple is one of the more visited temples in the Shunguo Mansion. Baiyun Temple is not the most prosperous temple in the capital, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized temple, and remote, but it has a long history, it is said that it has a history of more than 600 years, after several dynasties, so this temple can come to stay in some years of family, of course, the upstart to worship the Buddha is not impossible, as long as you have a courtyard nearby, you don't need to stay.

The Zhao family married into the Ruan family, so they could not stay overnight before and after the Buddha Day in Baiyun Temple. Fortunately, there is a huge courtyard Fangxi Villa not far from the southeast of the temple, although the Zhao family got married, the old lady of the Guogong Mansion ordered someone to leave a courtyard for the Zhao family to stay in it every month when the Buddha is worshipped.

An Geun is very fond of this annex in the Guogong Mansion.

Not like the strict layout of the Hou Mansion, close courtyard houses, this courtyard is built by the mountain, the jungle stream pool, the mountain stone pavilion, the scenery is scattered, there are both the original mountain forest natural jungle stream, and there are artificial flower courtyards, the yard is sparse, all are separated from the mountain stone or jungle, and the privacy is extremely high.

The small courtyard for the Zhao family is located in the southwest corner of the courtyard, hidden in a locust forest. The early summer season is the season when the acacia flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance is rich, the flowers and leaves flutter with the wind, it looks vigorous in the bright sunshine of early summer, and because it has just rained the day before, the air still carries a wet coolness, indescribably cool and comfortable, which makes people feel happy and full of joy. Out of the locust forest is actually a small pool, hidden behind the mountain forest, there is a stream on the pond suspended into the air, forming a small waterfall one foot wide three or four meters high, bringing the slightest agility to the scenery.

On June 14, Zhao took his four daughters early in the morning and set off for Fangxi Villa under the escort of the second master. The eldest daughter, Ruan Antan, was engaged to Zhao Cheng'an, the second young master of the Guogong Mansion, and it was inconvenient for her to live in the annex of the Guogong Mansion, so she stayed in the Hou Mansion. It took about two hours for the carriage to arrive at the villa, and the old lady and lady of the Guogong Mansion had not yet arrived. After the second master sent his wife and daughter to settle down, he left directly, and he also asked a group of friends to go to Liuqi Lake, which is about ten miles away from here.

The courtyard is not big, and the Anjin sisters each have two girls, and they can only be assigned to a room, separated by a screen, and the ladies live behind the screen, and the girls put a soft couch to rest outside the screen. An Jin brought a big girl, a blue snail, and a small girl, a ring of Xueqing.

Because almost every other month, Zhao will come to stay overnight, and there is a mother-in-law in the hospital to clean up for a long time, and there is no need to clean up, just lay out the bed, light the mosquito repellent coil, and move in after a little tidying.

The old lady and others of the Guogong Mansion had not yet arrived, and the Zhao family sent a mother-in-law to wait at the front door of the courtyard, and told them to come and inform themselves when the old lady and the others arrived. Then he personally instructed the mother-in-law and girls to inspect the courtyards, pack their bags, and instructed the small kitchen to prepare some snacks and send them to the daughters to fight the hunger first. As was customary, when the old lady arrived, she was to take her daughters to greet them and have lunch together. After a long day's journey, I was a little tired, not to mention the daughters, I was afraid that they would not be able to stand it, so I told Yahuan to wait for them to eat some snacks to cushion their stomachs, and then take a nap, and then wake them up again.

An Geun didn't wait for a snack, so he left Biluo to clean up his room, and while everyone was still busy, he took Xue Qing to sneak out along the fragrant fragrance of the courtyard, and didn't forget to let Xue Qing bring her own small drawing board and a small purse of dried meat.

An Geun walked out of the courtyard along the acacia forest, and from time to time flower petals fell on his head, and the excitement and joy in his heart could not be stopped, and he was so happy that he was bubbling. She is a very self-entertaining person, and it is easy to be in a particularly bright mood because of the gorgeous scenery of nature.

An Jin walked through the acacia forest and went straight to the creek pool, and then turned left and right around the creek pond several times. She once released two baby turtles here last fall, and when she came over, she could occasionally see the baby turtles crawling out of the low pool to bask in the sun, which was very coke. However, the food seen here is vegetarian, and Anjin has seen the baby turtle devouring the dead leaves, which seems extremely unnutritious. So after that, as long as she came to the courtyard, she would bring a small strip of meat specially dried, and when she saw the little turtle, she would throw it to eat.

It's a pity that she just looked around a few times, but found no trace of the little turtle, she was a little disappointed, shook her head, and prepared to sit on the side of the stone to rest for a while.

Xue Qing saw that she was going to sit down directly, and shouted nervously: "Miss, Miss, you can't sit." It only rained yesterday, and the stones were still wet, so it was very easy to get cold. It's a pity that she searched all over her body, and she couldn't find a suitable cushion for Miss to sit on, so she had to say, "Miss, you wait, the maid goes back and gets a thick cushion, you must not sit like this." ”

Seeing her anxious and serious appearance, An Jin nodded helplessly and said, "Go ahead, be careful of slippery roads." I'll stand for a moment. Xue Qing immediately put the small drawing board and a small package in her hand on the big stone, saluted, and hurried back to the courtyard to get the mat. She is not worried about leaving the young lady here alone, this is the private courtyard of the Shunguo Mansion, which is heavily guarded, and there is no safety problem, and the young lady often comes out to play by herself.

Seeing Xue Qing leaving, An Jin thought about it and couldn't bear to brush off Xue Qing's kindness, so he really didn't sit down directly, but picked up the drawing board on the stone, and then took a charcoal strip from the small package, ready to draw some sketches to pass the time and wait for Xue Qing.

Not long after, An Jin felt as if there was a dark shadow faintly crawling in the pool, and she was overjoyed, and when she looked up, she saw a small turtle slowly crawling out of her head. As soon as An Geun threw the drawing board, he took the small purse containing the little jerky from the package, and walked lightly to the stone near the little turtle by the edge of the pool, and was not in a hurry, but just squatted there to watch the little turtle slowly climb onto a small exposed stone, and stayed still, before taking out the small jerky from the purse and throwing it to the little turtle to eat.

An Jin was teasing the little turtle with all his heart, when he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his feet, and when he was shocked, he had been pushed down by this force and slipped into the stream. Although it was early summer, the mountain stream was still cold and biting. As soon as An Jin fell into the pool, he felt a chill and was unprepared, and sank straight to the bottom of the pool.

Fortunately, she was able to swim in her previous life, although she had not practiced for two years, she struggled in the water, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, but slowly regained her senses, slowly relaxed, swam to the edge of the pool, and lay on a stone that emerged on the side with one hand.

She popped out her head and took a few breaths quickly, only then did she feel that something was wrong, she saw a pair of soap shoes on the ground, and moved her eyes up along the shoes, and saw a young man with a black face, thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a black gold silk brocade robe, with a mutton fat white marble dragon pattern jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a sword seemed to be on his back. His complexion is slightly dark, his facial features are handsome, but his expression is indifferent and ridiculed, and he already has a strong aura at a young age.

The young man was clenching his fists at this time, looking at An Jin condescendingly, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable cold light, which made people shudder.

An Jin remembered the strong force from his heel before falling into the water, and his heart sudden, and his eyes swept over his surroundings. The cold pool is steep, and it is not easy to climb up with nowhere to borrow strength, not to mention that his body is young and frail, and it is even more difficult. An Jin quickly made a decision, looked up at the young man and smiled: "Big brother, I just accidentally fell into the pool, can you help me drag me up." The stone was too slippery for me to exert my strength. His voice trembled with the freezing of the pool.

The young man was silent, just looked at An Jin coldly. An Jin was already shivering a little cold, and she couldn't grasp the stone in her hands, she tried to maintain a smile, continued to pray to the boy with her eyes, and whispered, "Big brother." ”

Xiao Ye looked at this girl praying in the water with cold eyes, her teeth trembled a little, strands of hair dripping with water against her heart-shaped little face, her skin was a little pale but her black pupils were like paint, she was smiling at this time, the pear vortex on her cheeks was looming, and her eyes were shining faintly because of the smile, like a meteor passing in the silent night.

Xiao Ye's heart was inexplicably soft, and he really reached out and dragged her up. He was going to teach her a lesson and drag her up, and he justified his actions by saying how he could really drown her.

As soon as An Geun came ashore, he got up neatly, and despite the fact that his whole body was still dripping with water, he first saluted the young man and said, "Thank you big brother for rescuing, few people come here, if it wasn't for the big brother to save me, I really don't know if I would have survived." ”

The boy remained silent, staring at An Jin with heavy eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. An Jin trembled, afraid that this young man would suddenly do something again, so he continued: "Big brother, I'm drenched all over, it's really rude, please let me go home and change my clothes, and then thank my big brother." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the young man to speak, and turned around and walked towards Huailin. Although she was soaked and overwhelmed, An Geun still walked forward with graceful steps under the gaze of the young man. After walking a distance, almost into the fork of the Huailin path, An Jin squatted, as if tidying up his embroidered shoes, but suddenly grabbed a stone on the ground and wrapped it in mud, turned around and smashed it at the boy.

After smashing it, he saw that the young man stared at her and didn't move, so he scolded angrily: "You pervert, psychopath, a disciple, a bad blank with a black heart, a dead pervert." While scolding, he had already turned around and raised the hem of his skirt, and rushed into the Huailin and rushed away.

Only Xiao Ye was left to look at Huai Lin, who no longer had the shadow of An Jin, stunned, and was so angry that he smoked, and only after a while did he say to himself: "Sure enough, this liar, liar." That's how she deceived my mother and the imperial concubine, deceived everyone, caused herself to be wrongfully punished, and was taken back to the fiefdom in advance, missing the imperial concubine's birthday. This liar also said that he fainted for two months, and it was all a lie. He clenched his fists, his teeth rattled, and he was almost angry, but at the same time, for some reason, his heart was sore and painful, and he was aggrieved.
