Chapter 018 Taici Nunnery appreciates chrysanthemums and meets nobles
Daiyu stayed in Jiafu for another two days, talked to Jia's mother, and then returned to Linfu.
Jia's mother also knew that because of the incident in the courtyard of Yingchun a few days ago, Daiyu listened to some gossip again, so she didn't stay ruthlessly, but only asked Daiyu to come to visit her old man often, and explained a few words, loaded a cart of things, and asked Daiyu to leave.
When Baoyu came back next day, she went to Jia's mother to ask for peace as usual, and when she heard that Sister Lin was gone again, she cried for a while, and Jia's mother was annoyed, so she gave up.
Baoyu is returning from a trip with a friend named Liu Xianglian these days, he is either going to school these days, or going out to mess with those people, where can he take care of Daiyu who lives in the house. In addition, there is another Fang Mama on Daiyu's side, and Baoyu somehow is always a little afraid of this old mama, so she doesn't dare to come to Daiyu.
Now that Daiyu is gone, he has committed another dementia, but he quickly let go, only thinking that Sister Lin was locked up by her brother who was a national thief and didn't call him to see him, and she was very sad for Sister Lin. His friendship with Daiyu as a teenager was originally a little cautious, and Daiyu has always been different from the others, but he hasn't seen him for a few years, Baoyu has always been around nephrite jade, and now Daiyu is back, that is, he is thinking about it in his heart, and it will eventually fade.
Daiyu would not have known these thoughts of Baoyu. The Double Ninth Festival is here in a blink of an eye, and Daiyu sent the embroidery to Jiafu a few days earlier, and made a set with the Yingchun sisters and sent it to Jia's mother. In addition, there was also a festival of the Double Ninth Festival, which was also sent to Jiafu, and the Lin brothers and sisters did not go in person. Mother Jia looked at the delicate embroidery, and only ordered the mandarin duck to be taken away and worn on the day of Chongyang, and there was not much joy on her face.
The mandarin duck responded unexpectedly, looked at Jia's mother's face, didn't dare to say more, and only put away his clothes carefully.
After the Jia family's festival gift is delivered, Daiyu is still busy. This is the first festival that the Lin family has spent in Beijing, and the acquaintances who were familiar with Lin Ruhai in the past, although they did not come to visit in person, they still had to give the gifts. And their brothers and sisters are still in filial piety, so this gift is a bit exquisite. Fortunately, Daiyu has Mama Fang by her side, although she is busy, she will not go wrong and make people pick her mouth.
On the day of the Chung Yeung Festival, the two brothers and sisters of the Lin family sacrificed their parents and ancestors before changing into new clothes. and the people in the house sent an extra month of money, and if there were elderly people in the family, they were given extra rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, and everyone thanked the uncle and the girl, and then dispersed. Daiyu took out a dogwood sachet and asked the girl to hang it on the jade pendant that Lin Jue wore on her waist, "I know that my brother doesn't like incense, so he should hang one in the end, and it should be in line with the festival." โ
Lin Jue fiddled twice, he was used to pressing clothes with jade pendants, but he was a little unaccustomed to taking such a one, in the end, his sister called it to hang, it was just for the occasion, and it was hung up. And Daiyu also hung one herself, and seeing that Mama Fang also hung one for Nian'an, Lin Jue couldn't say anything.
Touching his nose, Lin Jue smiled and said, "If it's dark early today, the boundary of Taici'an is very biased, let's hurry up." โ
The housekeeper Lin Cheng had already prepared the carriage, because the Lin family was still in filial piety, it was not good to go out with too much fanfare, so he only prepared two carriages, one for Mama Fang and Daiyu, one for a few girls, and the little girl Qingsong Qingtong followed to catch the car, and Lin Jue took Fang Nianan to ride a horse to protect the side.
The carriage traveled for about an hour before leaving the city, Lin Jue and Daiyu said a word, first greeted Master Luo and Senior Brother Xie, who had set up a shed outside the city to give medicine to doctors, and then went to the shed next to him to see the situation of soup kitchen, after all, he also responded to Chen Yejun's call to donate money, and it was also appropriate to see if his money was spent in the right place.
Although it is the capital, there are too many poor people in the world, and the porridge shed has not been broken since it was erected in the morning. Chen Yejun called a group of friends to donate money, such as Beijing King Shuirong took the lead in responding, that is, Senior Brother Xie gave medicine on the side, and here it also followed the meaning, Lin Jue can donate money together, which can really be regarded as taking advantage. But he didn't realize this at all, and he was afraid that his money would be wasted.
Luo Song looked down on his little apprentice's character of taking advantage of him everywhere, and patted him on the head, "Don't look like a fan of money, your senior brother said, this porridge shed is the meaning of the above, maybe someone will come to see it when the top will come, and no one will dare to deduct you, besides, your senior brother is still on the side." Let's go, I'll take your senior brother to your Zhuangzi later, and don't eat all the crabs alone. โ
Lin Jue immediately showed a painful look, which immediately made Master Luo cry and laugh. After Lin Jue left, Xie Jinxuan said: "When I first saw Senior Brother Lin, I felt that Senior Brother Lin was too stable at a young age, but now he is more and more happy. โ
"He's familiar with you, so he doesn't hide his true nature, otherwise who doesn't praise him for being the most stable." Master Luo stroked his neatly groomed beard, quite complacent.
Xie Jinxuan looked at his master, shook his head helplessly, and said that these two people have the same temperament, they are both the same out-of-the-box temperament, but they just make a steady appearance, which is really not what to say.
Later, sure enough, someone from the imperial court came to inspect it, and Shui Rong Chen Yejun and others came to take a look, Shui Rong heard that his little uncle would not spend Chongyang with him this year, so he was very curious, and wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Xie Jinxuan. After all, he still has some other thoughts, and it's really not good to ask Shui Rong to go with him, so as not to upset his little junior brother.
The water is insoluble, but he is more and more curious about Lin Jue, who has had a one-sided relationship.
The carriage of the Lin family went out of the city and traveled until noon, when they arrived at the foot of a mountain full of green pines. Although the scenery here is good, there are no homes around, it can really be regarded as remote, and Taici Nunnery is on this halfway mountainside. The owner of this Taici Nunnery was originally the โกโก Emperor's favorite concubine, โกโก after the emperor died, Concubine Chen invited herself out of the palace to repair, so there was this Taici Nunnery.
However, Concubine Chen has long since passed away, and most of the palace people who accompanied Concubine Chen have also passed away, so this nunnery is becoming more and more rare. Lin Jue can know this, but he still heard Master Luo mention it. Although this is a nunnery, it does not accept outside incense, and all the expenses are the belongings brought out by Concubine Chen when she left the palace, but as time goes by, it is inevitable that she will become more and more overstretched, so she will also take in some passing merchants from time to time and collect some property for daily needs. However, only female dependents are accommodated in the nunnery, and male guests stay outside the nunnery.
Lin Jue didn't plan to take Daiyu to stay overnight, but there was a custom of climbing during the Double Ninth Festival, and Concubine Chen loved chrysanthemums very much, so all kinds of chrysanthemums were planted inside and outside the nunnery, and now it is a rare sight. Lin Jue traveled all the way, but he didn't see anyone, but it was true that he wanted to come here to be secluded.
All the way up, although I didn't climb the mountain myself, in the end, it should be regarded as a "climbing" meaning.
Lin Jue came to greet someone a few days earlier on the side of Taici Nunnery, and now the nunnery has been prepared. When the carriage arrived at the nunnery, when the coachman and the maid avoided it, Daiyu got out of the carriage and entered the nunnery to rest surrounded by Yahuan.
Lin Jue took Nian An to wait outside the nunnery and talked to an old nun. This old nun was a little palace maid beside Concubine Chen back then, and now she is also a handful of years. Lin Jue was quite polite to this old nun, after all, she was the person who served by Concubine Chen's side back then, so it was better to respect her in the end. And this Taici Nunnery is different from other places, it is indeed a clean nunnery, otherwise he would not dare to let Daiyu come. He didn't know elsewhere, it was the Shuiyue Nunnery that people in Najia Mansion frequented, Qin Zhong could have an affair with the little nun there when he went, it can be seen that it is the nunnery, but it is not as clean as the serious Chu Pavilion.
"The housemate doesn't go out often, and she happened to catch up with Chongyang, so she thought about taking her out to walk around, but it was too much trouble for the teacher."
The old nun was quite self-conscious, and did not say much greetings, but said: "It's not troublesome, the meal has been prepared, I don't know if it will be put on now or later?" โ
Lin Jue didn't care, he was quite self-aware, so he smiled and said: "Then the hard master will put it on now, in addition, I have a few family members waiting outside the nunnery, and I have to bother the master to send them a few cakes to satisfy their hunger." โ
"Naturally, Uncle Lin will wait." After Lao Ni finished speaking, he nodded with Lin Jue and left.
Lin Jue bowed slightly, watching the old nun leave, with a very respectful expression. Lao Ni swept over, and he appreciated the character of this Lin family uncle a little more.
After lunch, Lin Jue and Daiyu thanked Lao Ni again before going to play nearby.
This Taici Nunnery is located in the middle of the mountainside of the green mountain, the chrysanthemum bushes can be seen everywhere, because few people prune, so it is not regular, this bush and that cluster, but it has a unique style. There were few people on the mountain, and a few people walked out of the back gate of the nunnery and went up the mountain along the winding path.
The hillside is gentle, and there are paths that monks and nuns walk on every day, so it doesn't take much effort for Daiyu and other female dependents to walk. Nian'an children's temperament, Xiang Shao went to the mountains and forests to play, and now in the forest, it is like a bird out of the cage, and it can no longer be closed.
Lin Jue has always loved and indulged him, and it was easy to come out for a big holiday, and Mama Fang didn't discipline him much, she only explained that she was careful to look at the road and looked at Daiyu's side.
In the end, in the mountains and forests, Daiyu's side followed with a maid ring, and Mama Fang was always paying attention, Lin Jue was not too worried, so he also quickly followed Nian'an in front, and let the female dependents follow slowly behind.
Nian An ran and jumped in front of him and didn't look at the road ahead, and after a while, he broke into a quiet place, and was pressed by the guards here, and called "Brother Lin" in a hurry.
Lin Jue was still strolling leisurely here, and he lost the trace of Nian'an after a mistake, and he was in a hurry at this time, and faintly heard Nian'an crying and calling himself, so he was even more anxious, and hurriedly followed the direction from which the voice came.
"Nian'an?"
"Brother Lin, help, there are bad guys catching me! Brother Lin...... Woowoo woo ......"
When Lin Jue looked for it, he saw Nian An being grabbed by a tall man who looked like a guard, and there was not even a drop of tears in the corners of his eyes, but he howled loudly, as if he had been greatly wronged. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and couldn't help but be a little funny, he could see at a glance that the guard's dress was not ordinary, thinking that eighty percent was a guard raised by a large family, looking at the helpless look, I was afraid that he didn't want to hurt Nian An, so he smiled and said: "This big brother, this child is my family, he is not sensible, and there is no malice, if it collides with your master, please forgive me." โ
Seeing Lin Jue, the person who looked like a guard breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly let go of Nian'an. As soon as Nian An got away from the man, he immediately rushed to Lin Jue's side, holding Lin Jue's arm and not letting go.
The guard's cheeks were slightly red, thinking that he was embarrassed to bully a child, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Because this child suddenly broke in, and there was no one to take care of him, the villain had to catch him, how offended, and please forgive this master." โ
"It is ours, not ......"
"Young Master Lin?"
Lin Jue was about to say more, but was interrupted by a voice, Feng Mu lightly picked, but saw a white figure turn out from the flowers.
"The Twelve?"
The person who came was the Twelve Princes, Li Yibai.
