Chapter 33: Jokhang Temple
Mu Yan's tone was flat, but Xue Huashang could still hear Mu Yan's sadness between the lines.
What kind of parents are born but not raised?
Of course, he didn't give birth, but he kept it against his will, which is even more hateful.
Xue Huashang pinched his fingers fiercely, and a cold glow flashed in his eyes, and the cold glow disappeared in a flash.
Mu Yan didn't see the cold glint in Xue Huasheng's eyes, he just sighed lightly, "Hate is useless, it's so far, it's useless to complain about them, it only adds to the sadness......"
Xue Huashang patted the back of her hand and encouraged, "It's all over, it will be fine in the future......"
Mu Yan nodded and smiled, while his heart was warm, he was also thinking about why Xue Huashang was so good to her?
There is never anyone in this world who is good to you for no reason, especially a person who only had one side with you in his previous life, and suddenly appears by your side to warm you, is it a good thing? Or is it a bad thing?
Mu Yan pinched his fingers and looked sideways at the window.
The carriage traveled very quickly, and in about half an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Jokhang Temple.
Jokhang Temple is located on the Aquarius Mountain in the east of the suburbs of Yanjing, the Aquarius Mountain is rumored to be the mutton fat jade bottle in the hands of Guanyin Master, which is quite legendary, so the Jokhang Temple also has a little bit of 'god' flavor in people's mouths, and the cars come and go every day, and the incense continues.
Especially in some aristocratic circles that live in Yanjing, those ladies and wives will bring their families to the temple every once in a while to seek peace, wealth, official luck, and marriage for their children.
If you encounter the Buddha's birthday, it is even more crowded, and you can't squeeze in if you want to.
Fortunately, today is not a big festival, but there are still people coming and going at the mountain gate, and the cars are coming and going, which is very lively.
The carriage came to a steady stop, and everyone got out of the carriage.
Mu Qing was angry because he couldn't ride in the same car with Xue Huashang along the way, and his face was not very good-looking, especially when he looked at Mu Yan's eyes, there was always a little more hatred.
Mu Yan was too lazy to entangle with her, just walked at the back very casually, but Xue Huashang just liked to walk with her, and when she came and went, she was even more unhappy in Mu Qing's eyes.
Mu Qing kept pouting until she entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall to worship incense, and she was still pouting.
Mu Yan only pretended not to see it, and sincerely kowtowed three times in front of the Buddha and put on another stick of incense.
She doesn't ask for anything else, she just wants this life to be safe.
After worshipping the Buddha, Xue Huashang was very interested, and he wanted to go to the back mountain for a turn.
Mu Wan and Mu Hui rarely go out, but now that they have a rare opportunity to come out, they naturally want to walk around and enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains.
Only Mu Qing lacked interest and was depressed.
But this is Xue Huashang's suggestion, although she was not happy, she still agreed.
The scenery of Aquarius Mountain is very good, although it is late autumn, but the yellow leaves of the mountain are sandwiched in the sparse shadow, which has a special interest.
Xue Huashang was very interested, and said with a smile, "There is an octagonal pavilion halfway up the mountain, let's go up and sit too!" ”
Mu Wan and Mu Hui smiled and said yes.
Thanks to the fact that the sun is not big, it is not very tiring to walk, but Miss Qianjin rarely goes out for a walk, and before she reaches the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, Mu Qing and the others are a little out of breath, holding a handkerchief and constantly wiping their sweat.
Mu Hui even whispered, "I knew that I would stay at the bottom of the mountain and not get up......"
As far as Mu Yan is concerned, this is a very easy thing, anyway, when she had a hard life in her previous life, not to mention going up the mountain, she also worked in the fields, and this journey was nothing at all.
Seeing Mu Yan with a relaxed face, Xue Huashang also cast a very admiring gaze, and praised it, "I didn't expect you to walk quite fast......
Mu Yan smiled slightly, "It's not that you walk fast, you just don't feel tired." ”
Xue Huashang secretly thought that Mu Yan had no backers in the Mu family, he had to rely on himself for everything, and it was normal to have a lot of strength.
She admired Mu Yan in her heart, and at the same time she felt a little unbearable......
She kept her eyes calm and didn't speak again.
However, when they climbed to the octagonal pavilion tiredly, they found that there were already a few people sitting inside, four teenagers, two girls, and a few little maids, crowded the pavilion.
The girl Mu Yan knew one of them, it was Zhou Wenyuan.
The boy she didn't dare to look at.
She instinctively avoided her gaze, and at the same time grabbed Xue Huasheng, "There are people in the pavilion, why don't we go down!" ”
Xue Huasheng's face was full of surprise, and she shouted crisply, "Big brother, second brother, why are you here?" ”
When Mu Qing and Mu Wan heard Xue Huashang call the eldest brother and the second brother, their eyes were shining, and their faces were a little shy.
"Gorgeous clothes? Why are you here too? It just so happened that a young man in the pavilion wearing azure brocade clothes, jade skin, red phoenix eyes, and handsome gods also looked over here, the young man's eyes swept over Mu Qing and Mu Wan, and finally fell on Mu Yan, and after a glance, he turned to Xue Huasheng beside Mu Yan, and saw Xue Huashang sweating profusely, and the young man frowned slightly.
Mu Yan didn't like the way he looked at people, and he had a feeling of looking down on the world.
Xue Huashang took her hand with great interest, stood in front of the young man, and happily introduced, "Big brother, this is my friend Mu Yan, and those three are the daughters of Mu Shilang's family. ”
Pointing to the young man again, he introduced to Mu Yan, "This is my eldest brother." ”
“…… And this is my second brother. Xue Huasheng's eyes fell on another young man in a blue brocade robe, the young man's eyebrows and eyes were a little depressed, but his long body was jade, and his temperament was very detached.
Pingyang Hou has four sons, the eldest Xue Zhiyuan and Xue Huashang are siblings, the second Xue Zhining is a concubine, the biological mother is a very unfavored aunt, the third Xue Zhisong, and the fourth Xue Zhijie were born to Lin Yuehe.
In his previous life, Mu Yan had only seen the third Xue Zhisong, and he had never seen the rest.
Mu Yan gave them a very polite smile.
Mu Qing and Mu Wan came over to say hello impatiently, and secretly glanced at Xue Zhiyuan and Xue Zhining with delicate eyes.
Xue Zhiyuan and Xue Zhining nodded politely at them, they knew each other.
The other two teenagers in the pavilion were not dressed ordinarily, they were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were both very good-looking.
Xue Zhiyuan lightly introduced to them, "This is Zhou Pei, the eldest son of Master Zhou, a member of the Cabinet University, and this is Su Zeng, the only son of Master Su. ”
The two teenagers also nodded to Mu Yan and the others.
Mu Yan knew one of them who was wearing a purple robe with a slightly thin figure, he should be Zhou Wenyuan's brother Zhou Pei, after Zhou Wenyuan married into the Mu family in her previous life, she had met Zhou Pei once with the old lady.
Zhou Wenyuan is dressed up very beautifully today, wearing a peach-colored embroidered kapok pattern gown, her hair is combed in a bun, and there are two butterflies covered with gold and silver on it.
Looking at her dress, you can know how much thought she put into it today, and she must have come prepared.
She didn't show much surprise when she saw Xue Huasheng, she came over to greet everyone with a smile, and at the same time looked at Mu Qing and said, "Yesterday, I heard that Miss Xue said that she would invite Miss Mu Yan to visit the Jokhang Temple with me today, but I didn't expect Miss Mu to come too." ”
