Chapter 60: Incense (1)
Since Xie Fang had an accident in Prince Li's mansion, at least four girls were with him when he attended any party. The same is true for going to Hongluo Temple this time, winter patterns, Jiao apricots, January and wisteria.
There was no wind on this day, but it made people feel unusually dry and cold. When we arrived at the second gate, the carriage of the Wynne Houfu was already waiting there. When the people in the carriage saw the old lady come out, they got out of the carriage one after another. Wisteria raised his eyes to see that not only the Qu family was taking Xie Fen, but also the Lady and Second Lady of the Prince, Xie Ping and Xie Xuan were standing by the carriage.
Xie Fang saw that Xie Ping's face suddenly grew up, and turned around and whispered a few words to Xie Ying. Xie Ying looked at Xie Ping from top to the next and nodded, making Xie Ping a little panicked inexplicably.
"Auntie, we came uninvited, you won't blame you. I really heard the third brother and sister talk about it, and my second brother and sister were itching, so we came cheekily. Mrs. Huai'en Hou Shizi stepped forward and held Mrs. Lin's arm and said flatteringly.
"Where will it be, there are many people to be lively, as long as you don't dislike the coarse tea and light rice on the mountain." As he spoke, he beckoned the people behind him to walk together.
Xie Zhong, Xie Yi and Xie Fu rode horses to escort a group of women into their respective carriages, and the group came towards the Hongluo Temple located outside Beijing.
Because the snow has not fallen much in the past few days, and domestic servants have been sent to clean it in advance, so the road up the mountain is very clean. The old lady and the others got out of the carriage and sat in a warm sedan chair, and were carried up the mountain by the people. Wisteria and they didn't have such a good life, and they could only climb up step by step. Winter Pattern and Yuanyue are the first to go, and each master has two servants who go one step ahead of the other, and go to clean up the place where the master rests first, and replace it with the incense and stove that the master is accustomed to.
Wisteria was not close to Jiao Xing, so naturally he had nothing to say, so he slowly walked up in a bunch of girls. Halfway up the mountain, everyone couldn't walk, so they stopped to rest for a while. Wisteria thumped her waist while looking at the mountain scenery.
The snow fell on the branches of the verdant pine trees, and the thick snow bent the pines' waists. It's so quiet in the mountains and forests! It's so quiet that you can hear the rustling of snow after the wind blows. As if the peacock blue sky had been washed, a few white clouds drifted by, the shadows of the trees were reflected in the snow, and suddenly a woodpecker came out of the snow, flapped its wings and flew away, and the sound of its wings snapping echoed in the forest.
Wisteria's mood was indescribably happy, and she stood there for a long time, until someone called her, and then turned around and continued to walk with the large group.
By the time they reached the mountain, the masters were already sitting in the warm meditation room, drinking tea and eating fruit. Because the old man believes in Buddhism and has been a vegetarian for many years, he often deals with the presiding officer of Hongluo Temple. So as soon as the old lady entered the temple, she was invited by the Taoist to go to the main hall, and the old lady knelt on the futon extremely reverently, and put her hands together.
The old lady meditated in the main hall, and the daughter-in-law was naturally not good at drinking tea and eating fruits, so Tan took all her life to kneel in the main hall and listen to the sound of the wooden fish. However, a few young ladies were allowed by the old lady to be taken around by the little novice.
Xie Ying was coming to Hongluo Temple for the first time, and she was very curious about Yiqiē, and she wanted to go anywhere with Xie Fang's hand. Xu Shi frightened Xie Fang last time, how dare they let them do what they wanted, and told the people who were waiting around them over and over again to be careful.
Although Xie Yun and Xie Xuan had only been in contact a few times, they were very close to each other, and the two of them walked behind Xie Fang and Xie Ying, pointing at the mountains. Xie Ping saw the two teams in front of him, and then looked at Xie Fen who had no intention of talking to him at all, and was unwilling, but he couldn't pull his face to join in the fun.
Bypassing a pine forest in the temple, in front of which is a whole stone tablet that once had the inscription of Emperor Taizu, which is a must-see scene for everyone who goes to Hongluo Temple. Entering the pine forest, looking at the people chatting and laughing in front of her, Xie Ping felt more and more bored, so she walked slower and slower, and finally simply followed behind alone.
Xu didn't like Xie Ping in the first place, and although Xie Fang complained about her bad temper a few times, it might not have evolved to the final ending without Xie Ping's instigation. Obviously, Xie Ping is also a headache in Huai'en Houfu, and his two sisters-in-law don't seem to see the lonely sister-in-law, and they accompany Xu's side to talk and laugh.
Xie Ping felt even more bored, and became farther and farther away from the people in front of her. had to follow her own girl and the nurse, usually Xie Ping is very domineering, and she either beats or scolds her subordinates, so the people who are waiting are trembling and follow not far away.
Suddenly, a snow-white pigeon flew over and landed on a pine branch one step away from Xie Ping, and two black and soybean-sized eyes looked around.
"Oh, it's so beautiful" Xie Ping cheered when she saw it, and ran to the pigeon. It was the first time for the people who followed to see such a beautiful pigeon, and when they saw that Xie Ping was going to catch it, they all stood still.
Xie Ping leaned forward and just wanted to stretch out his hand, but he didn't know who yawned behind him, but the pigeon spread its wings and flew up, but it stopped on the branch on the other side.
Xie Ping looked back at the people who followed him angrily, everyone lowered their heads in a hurry, "Don't make a sound, don't follow along, do you hear?" Xie Ping said viciously, and the subordinates nodded hurriedly.
Xie Ping turned around and walked towards the pigeon, and just as it was about to touch it, it flew again. As if playing a game with Xie Ping, he didn't fly far, and flew to another place after seeing Xie Ping coming. Xie Ping's strength came up and he was determined to catch it, so he began to circle around a few pine trees.
At first, the people were afraid that Xie Ping would have some accidents, but when they saw that she was just circling around the tree, they relaxed their vigilance. This forest is a small slope, Xie Ping followed the pigeon, only looked at the sky, did not pay attention to the feet at all, turned the thickest tree, and when he was about to catch it, his feet slipped, and he fell down the small slope.
Xie Ping felt as if she was sitting on a straw mat and slipped to the bottom of the slope, but at the end it fell in a low-lying place, with some dry pine branches in it. After Xie Ping stopped, he felt that his whole body was sore, he looked up, and it was a little difficult to climb up again, but he wanted to shout at the top of his voice, which was impossible, so he simply sat down in the pile of pine branches and waited for someone to find him.
"Xiaobai, you bad guy, where did you go?" Suddenly, a crisp man's voice came, and it was getting closer and closer, accompanied by footsteps. Xie Ping hurriedly looked up, only to see that the snow-white pigeon just now was perched on a branch above his shoulder combing its feathers.
Before Xie Ping could think about what to do, a young man covered in snow white walked into his field of vision. looks very handsome, a bit of a woman's feminine beauty, a pair of peach blossom eyes seem to be born with a smile, a slender figure, and looks ten years old. He wore a white brocade cotton robe, and was draped with a fox fur coat that was not a trace of variegated color.
Seeing Xie Ping, the young man was stunned, smiled casually, and stretched out his hand to Xie Ping. Xie Ping sat there motionless, as if he had forgotten to breathe, only to see the young man's hand getting closer and closer to him, and his heart was pounding.
When the young man's hand was only a foot away from his face, Xie Ping felt that his breathing was about to stop, and he quickly closed his eyes. Suddenly I heard a cooing sound in my ears. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the snow-white pigeon just now was standing on the young man's arm at this time, extremely well-behaved and obedient.
"Why is the girl here, your subordinate?" After the young man withdrew his hand, he said to Xie Ping with a smile.
Xie Ping only came back to her senses at this time, and quickly stood up and shook the pine chips on her body. "I just saw this pigeon up there, and I thought it was beautiful, so I wanted to catch it for a while, but I didn't expect it to be led here, and I fell from it." Xie Ping said as she raised her hand and pointed upward.
The young man glanced up, smiled, and said, "So it's Xiaobai's mistake, this little guy is used to playing tricks on people." I am its master, and I am here to make amends to the girl on its behalf. After speaking, he bowed deeply.
Xie Ping avoided half of his body and returned the salute with a red face.
"Oh, girl, your hand is bleeding." As he spoke, the young man took out a towel from his bosom and took Xie Ping's hand without saying a word, carefully cleaned up the pine chips on it, and then wrapped it up.
Xie Ping let the boy wrap herself like a doll. Until the call of Miss Five and Miss Five came from afar.
The young man smiled slightly, and said, "It must have been found by the girl's family, and I will say goodbye." Then he turned around and was leaving.
"Hey~ I, I am the youngest daughter of the prince of Huai'en Houfu, my name is Xie Ping."
The young man turned around and looked at Xie Ping with a playful expression, "It turned out to be the noble daughter of Huai'en Houfu, in Xia Hongzhe, and there will be a period later." With that, he turned around and strode away.
