Chapter 5
Lianxiang Temple is built on the Huijue Mountain outside the city, although it is secluded, but the incense has been prosperous, especially a statue of Guanyin enshrined in this temple, it is said that the great mercy is great, the spirit is amazing. There is also the abbot of the temple, Jingming, who is a high-ranking monk, if he can get a word, he will be like a bodhisattva in the reincarnation.
Qiao's came here today to make incense, just to bring Dong to visit the abbot of Jingming, hoping to get a little bit of it.
When the car of the Guogong Mansion arrived at the foot of Huijue Mountain, a monk in charge and a few maids and women who had come to clean in advance were already waiting there.
Mei Ru couldn't hold it anymore, so she picked up the curtain and looked out.
I saw a few horses tied to a resting pavilion not far from the foot of the mountain, but I was afraid that they also came to make incense. Now there are a few small people to watch, and they are warming tea in the pavilion, and the heat is bypassed, which makes this autumn day more and more depressed.
Everyone came down one by one, and five or six grandmothers helped Qiao, Xiao Wu, and Dong to walk in front, while the three sisters stood behind.
Seeing Qiao's and Xiao Wu's, the monk in charge stepped forward, folded his hands and said, "Two wives, the wing room has already been prepared, please go up and rest first." ”
Qiao Shi nodded, and asked again, "Master Jingming is not here?" ”
The monk's face was slightly embarrassed: "There are a few distinguished guests in the temple today, and the abbot is accompanying them." ”
The identity of a distinguished guest who can bother the abbot of Jingming is certainly not simple. When Qiao Shi heard this, he asked, "I don't know which mansion in the capital is it?" ”
"The poor monk doesn't know." The monk shook his head, "As soon as those donors come, they will go directly to the back." ”
Qiao Shi knew that it was inconvenient to ask again, so he only followed the main monk up.
There are hundreds of steps under this lotus incense temple, which are carved by the mountain, high and shaking. Now to go up the mountain, it is really a hard thing for these pampered young ladies.
Originally, the three sisters were in one place, but among the three, Mei Qian was the oldest, the tallest, and the most delicate in her body, but she was out of breath after walking a few steps. It just so happened that the Dong family in front of him was also lacking in spirit, and gradually slowed down, and the two of them naturally fell at the end.
Sister Ping is the youngest, wearing a pink round-neck jacket and a Yingluo, she still looks like a child, and she is also the most energetic. At this time, there was no speculation with Mei Ru, she stepped on her deerskin boots and pedaled forward. walked to a high place, and turned around and made a smug face at Mei Ru.
Mei Ru just didn't see it, and lazily looked away.
Now it is late autumn, the mountains of this will feel that the mountains are planted with red maple, green pine, slightly raise your eyes and brush the past, only to see the mountains all over the field, the red maple is like fire, the green pine is green, even those withered branches and leaves that fall on the ground are also glowing with good-looking ancient yellow, and a corner of the Lianxiang Temple is covered by the dark yellow cornices, it is really beautiful. Where the wind blows, the sound of the leaves is also very good.
Mei Ru combed her hair in a reverse bun today, fixed her hair with a flat hairpin with a gold pendant, and inserted a small bead hairpin diagonally, wearing jade earrings in her ears, the wind puffed up, brushed her face, and the bead hairpin shook gently with the earrings, and the whole person only felt refreshed and more open-minded.
She paused for a moment, and Dong and Mei Qian came up slowly.
As soon as the two looked up, they saw Mei Ru standing on a high place, wearing a long skirt with wide sleeves and narrow waist, and a pink pleated skirt underneath.
Dong liked this sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart, so he called her with a smile: "Follow up." Then he asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Listening to Dong's voice, Mei Ru turned her head and winked and chuckled.
She smiled, the peach blossom eyes were shining, and she was very smart, which made people ignore other ordinary facial features.
"Good sister-in-law, look." Holding Dong's arm, Mei Ru raised her hand and pointed into the distance, shook her head and said, "I see that the rivers and mountains are magnificent, and the rivers and mountains are beautiful." After that, she said with her hands behind her back: "The blue buds under the mountain are short dipping streams, and the sandy road between the pines is clean and mud-free......"
Dong was rarely in a good mood to tease her: "When did you learn to chew words?" ”
Everyone in the Mei Mansion knew that Miss Mei San didn't like to shoot the number of imperial books, and Mei Ru really didn't like it in her previous life, and her head hurt every time she saw her master. But after marrying Fu Zheng, she was not very embarrassed. Although Fu Zheng has not been very favored since he was a child, he has been taught by He Taifu in the end, and he is brilliant in writing, has a good chest, and is all fine and knowledgeable in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Mei Ru thought about Qin Se and Ming, so she stumbled and made up a lot, and even secretly drew a few pictures and wrote a few words, and Baba asked him for some advice, and in the end, the person didn't look at it directly......
With a lazy sigh, Mei Ru replied to Dong's family: "I have learned it a long time ago, and now I can't look down on these miles!" ”
Tapping her forehead, Dong smiled: "Follow the most poor mouth." ”
Mei Qian also hid her face and smiled, but she suffered from the wind and cold, and when she just smiled at this time, she covered her handkerchief and coughed. She is holding the lily bun today, and the face that is alluring to the country is like a budding flower bone, which is really pitiful. The body is a silver-white blue jacket, and the bottom is an embroidered Luo skirt of the same color.
Dong looked at it in his eyes, afraid of delaying Sister Qian'er's body, and turned around to say to the old ancestor, so he said: "It's windy here, let's go forward." ”
Mei Qian nodded, and the three of them continued to go up.
The wing room in the temple has already been cleaned up, and there are already people waiting inside, preparing snacks and tea for the ladies and ladies to rest. Mei Ru just drank a small half cup of tea, and then she couldn't sit still, she looked at Qiao's and secretly swept outside.
Qiao Shi was there to instruct her subordinates, and in the corner of her eye, she saw her daughter writhing around like a monkey, and there were no outsiders in the room, so she deliberately called: "Follow the rules!" And what to see? Mei Ru turned around, Qiao Shi smiled and teased her: "Aren't you thinking about the buns of Lianxiang Temple?" ”
"Why!" Mei Ru naturally denied it, and said sweetly, "I am worried about asking for a peace charm for my father and brother." ”
"It's sweet in your mouth!" Qiao Shi waved his handkerchief, "Go, go, bring two more maids." ”
With her mother's permission, Mei Ru snickered.
She led Jingqin and Yichan out of the wing, and in the other room, Sister Ping also happened to poke her head out.
As soon as the two looked at each other, Sister Ping flattened her mouth and retracted again.
Xiao Wu's strict management is that she will never be allowed to walk alone. Sister Ping poked her head again and said to Xiao Wu: "Mother, the third sister seems to have gone to worship the Buddha." ”
Xiao Wu was unmoved, but said, "When you see Master Jingming, you and Ah You will go around together." ”
Sister Ping frowned, and said in her heart, who wants to see the master of Na Laoshizi. Mei Qian comforted on the side: "Sister Ping, it's just a matter of a while, and the second sister will lead you to the lotus pond in the back later." ”
Sister Ping'er flattened her mouth, and secretly wondered, who wants to see the lotus pond of Nalaoshizi, a pool of muddy lotus roots, I want to eat steamed buns!
She swept her eyes out, where did she still see Mei Ru's figure? Sister Ping pouted, disgusted with Mei Ru more and more.
Let's say that Mei Ru is hanging out in the monastery. Today, the Guogong Mansion came to worship the Buddha, there was no one in the entire Lianxiang Temple, and occasionally met a few monks, who also folded their hands and called her a "female benefactor". Mei Ru was not interested in worshipping Buddha and praying to God, and she didn't enter the temple, just walked around. Walking around, I thought about the vegetarian bun again. She gave Yichan a look. Yichan understood, went to the monk's dining room, and wrapped two of them in oiled paper.
The autumn weather is cold, this bun is still hot, Mei Ru holds it in her heart, just as a hand stove to warm her hands, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of joy.
Seeing this, Jingqin could only complain about Yichan: "Just you play with the girl." Then he said to Mei Ru: "Girl, girl, let's find a quiet place, you are seen like this...... It's indecent. ”
Mei Ru smiled and went to the back of the temple.
Behind this lotus incense temple is a lotus pond, leading the living water in, the scenery is very elegant in summer, and now there is a bit of depression in winter. Along the lotus pond built several water pavilions, stone bridges, and stacked rockeries of high and low staggered, there is a hexagonal pavilion on the rockery.
Mei Ru thought about going to the hexagonal pavilion, which was the highest and had the widest view, and there was no one. After thinking about it, the three masters and servants went there.
Clinker she crossed the stone bridge, just turned into the rockery, caught off guard, rushed over a little brother in a hurry! The man couldn't stop at all, and the two of them were stunned and collided together!
This brother is about the same height as Mei Ru, the two compartments collided together, and at the same time, with a "ouch", Mei Ru's hand shook, and the bun fell to the ground, rolled, and happened to be trampled flat by the reckless brother!
Is this still worth it?
Yichan hurriedly blocked her front and scolded: "Which bastard? ”
Mei Ru jumped behind her head: "I want him to pay for my buns!" ”
"What buns?" A man's voice came from the top of the rockery stone steps, cold, faint, like a cold sword, splitting through the heavy mountain rocks and stabbing straight in!
Mei Ru froze.
She was originally dusting her head down, but she couldn't move at all as if she was frozen, and then she heard the man ask lightly: "Zhao'er, what's the matter?" ”
This time, his voice grew closer, as if it had once spoken in her ear.
Follow, your sister has entered the palace, she has treated you well since she was a child, and she is soft-hearted, I don't want her to be embarrassed.
Follow, the world is big, where else can you go? Nian Zhen and your husband and wife, you invite yourself to the cold palace......
Fu Zheng!
Mei Ru slowly raised her eyes.
I saw that the man was standing in the overlapping shadows of the rockery, dressed in a black robe, with a jade belt around his waist slightly tightened, and under the black collar, a circle of underwear was exposed, white, which was the only white on his body. A few strands of broken gold fell, and Fu Zhengqing's eyebrows and eyes were hidden under the mottled golden crow, which could not be seen clearly, but it made people feel a chill to the bones for no reason.
Mei Ru pinched her hands so that she didn't want to tremble.
Fu Zheng's gaze swept over Mei Ru, and then brushed away expressionlessly. He just lowered his eyes, looked at Fu Zhao who was in trouble below, and said, "I lost someone's buns." ”
