Chapter 157: Arrival
Through the blue silk curtain windows, the street scene has some hazy colors.
The carriage is in the center, and there are honor guards on the left and right.
Du Yunluo looked out the window quietly, and suddenly remembered the appearance of Mu Lianxiao talking to her through the car window that day, and her heart couldn't help beating faster.
At this moment, Mu Lianxiao must be somewhere in this honor guard, still riding a tall horse, heroic and cool.
Out of the city gate and on the official road, Du Yunluo listened to the sound of the wheel, but she didn't feel that the carriage was shaking badly, even if she could see that the princess's frame was different, but until this moment, she really felt it.
The mountain road to Guoning Temple is another repair, Rao is so, the carriage can only go halfway up the mountain, and then up, can only change the sedan chair.
Du Yunluo stepped on the car, looked back and forth, and happened to see the county lord of Nanyan supporting the palace maid's hand, her little face was pale, and the whole person was swaying.
The sedan chair went all the way to the mountain gate.
The presiding master led a group of Buddhist disciples to wait.
At this time, it happened to be the hour hour, and the sound of bells and drums came from the temple, echoing in my ears.
The wing rooms of the royal temple are far more spacious than the temple that Du Yunluo has visited, although it does not lose the purity and simplicity of the Buddhist home, but the materials and workmanship are evident.
Du Yunluo lived in one room, which was the southernmost room under this corridor, and to the north, it was Mu Lianhui, the county lord of Nanyan and Princess Yunhua, the residences of several ladies were not far from them, and the rooms of the queen mother and the imperial concubine were further north.
The little palace maid waited for Du Yunluo to clean up her face, and just wiped her face with some balm, someone from Princess Yunhua came to invite her.
Du Yunluo did not delay. Holding the stove and walking along the corridor.
Mu Lianhui's door was half-closed, and there was a sound of palace maids talking and laughing inside, and the door of the county lord of Nanyan was closed. Further back, outside the door of Princess Yunhua's room, the palace maid welcomed Du Yunluo in with a smile.
Princess Yunhua sat relaxedly, the tea cup in her hand was hot, and the Buddhist shrine in the corner of the wall was lit with sandalwood, which was much lighter than what Du Yunluo smelled on weekdays.
"Sit down and taste this old gentleman's eyebrows, which are soaked in the stream water on the mountain behind Guoning Temple. The taste is really good, no wonder the imperial concubine drank mountain springs in Putuo for three years. After returning to Beijing, I am not used to the water in Beijing, and in terms of taste, mountain springs, streams, and snow water have their own merits. Princess Yunhua said with a smile.
Du Yunluo sat down as she said. took the tea cup in the hand of the palace maid and took a shallow sip, it was really fragrant and had a sweet aftertaste.
Princess Yunhua invited Du Yunluo over, naturally it was not to ask her to taste tea, but the princess didn't mention it, and Du Yunluo didn't ask, all the way before, since that sentence. The two didn't talk much in the car.
After waiting for a while, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old palace maid came in and knelt down in front of Princess Yunhua with her eyes down.
Princess Yunhua glanced at her. Said: "What did Nan Yan and Jia Rou say? ”
Du Yunluo's heart moved, and she glanced at the palace maid, it was the palace maid who helped the county lord of Nanyan get off the car halfway up the mountainside, it seemed that she had been waiting in that carriage.
The palace maid was respectful and said, "Back to the princess." The county lord and the township lord did not say anything. The county lord was afraid of motion sickness, so as soon as he boarded the car, he took a mouthful of tangerine peel plum. Lying crookedly, before leaving the gate of the capital, it was already very uncomfortable, and it was only halfway up the mountain that he was forced to hold on. The township monarch saw that the county lord's face was white like that, and he didn't dare to speak and argue with the county lord. ”
When Princess Yunhua heard this, she was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, and said thoughtfully: "It was my negligence, if it was my frame, she would probably be able to sit firmly, and it was good that the other carriages didn't vomit in the dark." What about her now? ”
"The county lord is resting in the house, and the slave maid thinks that she should be relieved after a short sleep."
"Go back and wait, and when she wakes up, come and say goodbye, and I'll go see her again." After Princess Yunhua finished speaking, she waved her hand to let the palace maid withdraw.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Princess Yunhua held her cheeks and exhaled slowly: "It's a shame that her father is still a brave and warlike general, Nanyan has grown up and is not even suitable for riding in a carriage." For this reason, my frame is repeatedly padded and tight, and in the winter it is okay, the thick pad does not feel hot, and in the summer, even if I have the opportunity to go out, I am not happy to go. ”
Du Yunluo was surprised, she sat on the princess's frame, and naturally knew that the car was extremely stable, and she thought it was the reason for the princess's trip, but it turned out that this was all designed for the lord of Nanyan County, who couldn't take the car.
"When I changed the sedan chair halfway up the mountain, I saw that the county lord's face was extremely bad, and he couldn't even stand steadily. Du Yunluo said.
Princess Yunhua snorted lowly: "It's in vain for me to find time for them to speak." ”
With such a deviation, Princess Yunhua's love was not high, and Du Yunluo withdrew.
The door of the county lord of Nanyan was still closed, and Du Yunluo passed by from outside Mu Lianhui's room, and happened to meet Mu Lianhui who came out of the curtain.
"Yunluo," Mu Lianhui called her with a smile, "I'm going to worship in the main hall, are you going?" ”
The voice was crisp, the tone was gentle, and the smile was sincere, falling in Du Yunluo's eyes, Mu Lianhui's actions were just the right amount of kindness and closeness, as if the tacit calculations in the plum garden had not happened.
Du Yunluo raised her hand to pin her sideburns behind her ears, and also smiled: "The Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are resting, isn't it appropriate for us to go directly to the main hall?" ”
"It's just a last incense salute." After Mu Lianhui finished speaking, she paused and pointed to the north, "You came from the princess?" ”
Du Yunluo nodded: "Yes." ”
"What did the princess say to you?" Mu Lianhui said.
Du Yunluo pursed her lips and smiled: "The princess grew up in the palace and almost never went out of the palace, she thought that I, an outsider, was very familiar with the outside world, and knew what was delicious and fun, so she asked me to show her along the road, but I was also a person who stayed in the house and rarely went out, and I couldn't answer anything with a black eye." ”
Mu Lianhui covered her lips and smiled, and said, "The princess is really, how many of these things can our girl's family answer?" ”
The two talked for a while, and Mu Lianhui was about to go to the main hall.
Du Yunluo turned around to go back to the room, but just pushed the door open, she heard Mu Lianhui behind her call her again.
"Countryman?" Du Yunluo was puzzled.
Mu Lianhui walked up to her and said in a low voice: "I just forgot to tell you, Ah Xiao's birthday in two days, you know, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Do you have a gift?" After Mu Lianhui asked, seeing Du Yunluo looking at her suspiciously, she cleared her throat and said in her ear, "If you are ready, give him another reason next time." Ah Xiao doesn't like to celebrate his birthday, he will think of his eldest uncle, and their father-son relationship is very good. ”
Du Yunluo frowned and lowered her eyes: "Thank you for reminding me, I remember." ”
After Mu Lianhui finished speaking, she left, Du Yunluo went back to the room, took out the prepared wrap from the baggage she was carrying, and looked back and forth in her hand.
She said that Mu Lianxiao likes to drink tea before, and this time she used her birthday to trick her, could it be that in Mu Lianhui's eyes, she is so easy to fool? (To be continued.) )
