121 Copying the Scriptures

During lunch, Zhu Mingyu and the others ate separately from Qin Guifei, and Zong Sihui also felt that Qin Keji was very different from Zhu Mingyu, so he came over and asked, "Mingyu, are you very familiar with Qin Gongzi?" ”

"Not familiar."

Zong Sihui persevered: "What did he say to you?" ”

Yun Xue was also paying attention to them on the side, and couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "Sihui, why do you ask her, even if there is anything you can tell you?" ”

Zhu Mingyu ignored Yun Xue, thought about it for a while, and said to Zong Sihui: "I won't tell you, my sister Mingcan was very sad because of her mother's death, and she was not in good health, so she was taken to the Qin family in Jiangnan to recuperate, she had a good relationship with me, so I asked Qin Gongzi to bring me a message, let me rest assured, forget it, I should still call Qin Gongzi a cousin." ”

"Cousin?" Zong Sihui couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why are you a generation shorter than people." ”

"No way, he's a junior."

This explanation is also reasonable, Zong Sihui didn't continue to ask, and Zhu Mingyu said to Yun Xue: "Cousin, I call you cousin, what do you want to call him, do you want to call him uncle?" ”

Yun Xue said angrily: "Why should I talk about seniority with you, he is the cousin of the second emperor's brother, and I should call him a cousin." ”

"Oh, then I'll also say hello to my cousin, and I don't have to feel a head shorter than him when I see him in the future." Zhu Mingyu smiled and said to Yun Xue, "It's still my cousin." ”

Hearing this, Yun Xue wanted to scold Zhu Mingyu for being shameless and being so related to Qin Keji, but for the sake of others. I endured it stubbornly, but I put down my chopsticks and had no appetite to eat. Seeing this, Min Zhilan also hurriedly followed.

Hua Wu and Zong Siqi are the biggest of them, and they don't participate in their wit, and the only thing left that doesn't react is Guan Shu, she eats very slowly and seriously, as if she didn't notice their conversation at all.

Originally, this time I came to Mingquan Temple to prepare for the night, but after the noon incident, Zhu Mingyu decided to go back in the afternoon. lest there be another incident. Before he could say a few words to Qin Keji, he was regarded as a thorn in his side. Just as a few maids were holding things back into the carriage, Chen Rou came.

I saw them packing their things. Chen Rou was a little strange and asked, "Mingyu, what are you going to do here?" ”

Zhu Mingyu sighed and said, "You also know that Qin Keji and I have always been at odds. I think it's better to go back sooner. ”

Chen Rou also felt reasonable. Nodding his head, he said, "That's right, did he just ask you to leave?" ”

Zhu Mingyao was also curious about what Qin Keji said, but she knew that Qin Keji and Zhu Mingyu were not as tense as they were at the beginning, and just now, it was obvious that Zhu Mingyu was avoiding Qin Keji.

Hearing Chen Rou ask, Zhu Mingyu said, "Yes, he said that if he sees me again, he will definitely not let me go." ”

"It's too much." It's rare for Chen Rou to be such a good-tempered person, and she was angry, "Let's go." We went to the mother to evaluate the reasoning, and we couldn't let him succeed. ”

Zhu Mingyu knew that Chen Rou was serious. hurriedly said: "Looking for Niangniang, no, I'd better go back." ”

Chen Rou didn't want to, and said: "I see that you are not such a timid and afraid person on weekdays, why did you retreat so much today." ”

Zhu Mingyao saw Zhu Mingyu like this, but she understood a little, what she said was false, so she relieved Zhu Mingyu and said: "Sister Chen, my sister doesn't want to make trouble, after all, this is a holy place of Buddhism, why bother my mother because of this little thing." ”

Chen Rou finally let go of Zhu Mingyu's hand and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you, it's no fun to stay here." ”

So the three of them packed up and went to say goodbye to Qin Guifei, and then left.

Qin Guifei lived in the Cixin Hall of Mingquan Temple, which was where the empress dowager lived, and she had to pass through two doors just to enter the courtyard, and the guards at the outer gate stopped them when they saw them.

While waiting for the palace maid to go in and pass the word, Zhu Mingyu saw a palace maid leading a few people out, and when she got closer, it was Hua Wu and the sisters of the Zong family.

The palace maid sent them back outside the second gate, and Hua Yu also saw Zhu Mingyu and them, and walked over and said, "I just wanted to go to you, but I didn't expect you to come too, just right, let's talk on the way." ”

"What's the matter?" Chen Rou was also puzzled.

Hearing this, Hua Wu was stunned and said, "Didn't you come to find Niangniang to copy the scriptures?" ”

Zhu Mingyu said: "No. ”

"Are you leaving?" Zong Siqi saw that a few people had changed their clothes, and it didn't look like they were going to stay, so she said with some disgust, "Auntie has talked to Niangniang, and Niangniang has promised to let us copy scriptures with her in the afternoon and pray for the Queen Mother." ”

Hua Wan said apologetically to Zhu Mingyu: "Mingyu, I didn't know you were going back. ”

Chen Rou looked at Zhu Mingyu, how can she go like this?

Zhu Mingyu didn't want to say anything more, so he said: "It's okay, we are here to ask for the blessing of the Buddha, and it is also a merit to be able to copy scriptures for the Queen Mother, how can we go back." ”

Hua Yu was relieved and said, "I'm still worried that you will blame me for making decisions." ”

Zhu Mingyu smiled and said, "How come, I still have to thank my sister for helping us ask for this good thing." ”

So after a lunch break, Zhu Mingyu bathed and changed clothes, removed the fat powder and hairpin ring, changed into light gray lay clothes, and went to the Pilu Hall to copy the scriptures.

The incense in the main hall has been burned, and before I entered the door, I smelled a quiet sandalwood incense, and three rows of tables and cushions had been prepared inside, the first row of seats must have been reserved for Qin Guifei, and there were five tables in each of the two rows in the back, a total of ten positions.

Zhu Mingyu sat in the second row, next to him was an empty seat, this time Min Zhilan also came, there were only nine of them, and the rest of the seats were prepared for Yun Chuhai? As long as it's not Qin Keji.

Just when he was thinking like this, Qin Keji came in, he was dressed in white and Shengxue, his hair was simply coiled up, but there was a strand of disobedient hair hanging down from his shoulders, lining his face, and he really felt like an immortal was born.

As soon as he came in, it naturally made a few girls look a little stunned, and this time even Zhu Mingyao and Chen Rou were not spared.

This kid really has the ability to confuse sentient beings, she can't be like these little girls who are not productive. Zhu Mingyu glanced at it and quickly turned his head, silently thinking in his heart that the color was empty.

Qin Keji was well-behaved this time, and his expression was flat. Naturally, she sat in the vacant seat next to Zhu Mingyu, and Yun Xue was in front of Zhu Mingyu and glanced back at her.

This time, the Myoho-renge-kyo was copied, one volume per person, and each person copied it, and after the start of the main hall, only the sound of the pen walking on the paper could be heard. Zhu Mingyu hasn't started writing recently, and his writing is a little slow. Accidentally copied a mistake and had to rewrite, when changing the paper, Yu Guang saw that Qin Keji had already copied ten sheets, and then glanced at his side and only three. Somewhat staggering his speed.

Zhu Mingyu comforted himself, he would definitely not be able to write any good words at such a speed.

Suddenly, a breeze blew outside the hall, and Qin Keji's paper was blown to Zhu Mingyu's legs, and she picked it up and took a look. It's a pretty word. It's enough for him.

Qin Keji took the paper back from Zhu Mingyu's hand with an expressionless face, and continued to write.

Zhu Mingyu looked at his side face and was a little stunned, the focus was not on the word, but on the content on the paper, which read: Hai Shi today, see in the breeze, if you don't come, I will go in person.

And just like that, sixteen words, he actually wrote a page with a lot of care. Seeing this, Zhu Mingyu felt that his head hurt again.

Zhu Mingyu copied a volume with not many words, although she was slow, she didn't finish it in the last place. However, Qin Keji was the first to finish copying, and he left after copying, and naturally took the piece of paper with him before leaving. 、

Guan Shuhao is naturally the slowest, they naturally can't come and go freely like Qin Keji, and they waited for Guan Shuhao to finish copying before Hua Yu collected it and handed it over to the female officials beside Qin Guifei before they left together. Qin Guifei did not leave, she copied an entire scripture book alone, much more than they copied.

Kneeling there and copying the scriptures for two hours, Zhu Mingyu felt that his knees were a little stiff, and the other people were not much better, so they all went back to rest. At dinner, they ate in their rooms, and Zhu Mingyu looked at the darkening sky after eating.

Because the performance was too obvious, even Hibiscus saw it, and asked what was going on several times, but Zhu Mingyu didn't want to tell her about it, so she could only say that she was okay and stopped early.

Zhu Mingyu didn't fall asleep all the time, and when it was almost a moment, the hibiscus had already fallen asleep, Zhu Mingyu sighed secretly or lightly put on his clothes and went out.

The weather is good today, and you can see the stars in the mountains, but it is only the eighth day of the first month, and the moon is only half of it, but it is bright enough.

Qingfeng Forest is a sparse forest that grows in low-lying terrain to the east of Mingquan Temple, stretching to the back mountain, where all kinds of trees are tall and short, and it is not a scenic spot.

Zhu Mingyu scolded Qin Keji, who had nothing to do, and walked towards Qingfeng Forest. Because of Qin Guifei's presence, the guards in the temple were much stricter, so Zhu Mingyu bypassed the heavily guarded section of the road near the Cixin Hall, picked up the place where there were few people, and had to hide quickly when he saw the guards patrolling, so he sneaked to Qingfeng Forest and finally walked to Qingfeng Forest.

When he arrived near Qingfeng Forest, Zhu Mingyu saw Qin Keji standing there leaning against a tree by the moonlight.

He changed his clothes this time, blood was red and blood-red, and Zhu Mingyu's eyelids jumped, and it was like a haunted in the middle of the night.

Qin Keji also saw Zhu Mingyu, waited for her to come over, frowned, and said, "You're late." ”

Zhu Mingyu said helplessly: "It takes two quarters of an hour to come from there, and there are guards patrolling." ”

Seeing Zhu Mingyu's clothes, Qin Keji snorted: "When you are stopped, you say that you are a maid who gets up at night?" ”

Zhu Mingyu was indeed wearing the coat of hibiscus, and she was also going to use that as an excuse, she was a little embarrassed by Qin Keji's guess, how could she do it without disguise, it was like a tryst in the middle of the night.

"What are you going to show me in the middle of the night?"

Qin Keji didn't care about clothes and time with Zhu Mingyu anymore, and smiled and said, "Follow me." He walked inside.

Zhu Mingyu was a little puzzled, but he still followed, because suddenly Qin Keji smiled very good, and suddenly couldn't bear to refuse him, he came here, so let's go and take a look.

The road in the forest was not very smooth, Zhu Mingyu walked a little slowly, Qin Keji walked out for a while, looked back and saw that Zhu Mingyu was still behind, although he felt troublesome, he still stopped and waited for her to follow.

The two walked into the depths of the forest one after the other, the trees were much denser, and the light was much weaker, Zhu Mingyu looked at his feet, didn't notice the crooked tree in front of him, and hit his head on the tree all of a sudden.

Zhu Mingyu covered his head and stopped, Qin Keji walked back when he heard the voice, and said, "Why did you stop again?" ”

It's not that I didn't see myself hitting my head when I walked so fast, Zhu Mingyu said indignantly: "It's okay." ”

Qin Keji looked at Zhu Mingyu, reached out and patted her head twice.

"What are you doing with me in the head?" Zhu Mingyu slapped his hand away unhappily.

"There are leaves." Qin Keji grabbed Zhu Mingyu's wrist and said, "Look at you stupid, you will hit a tree when you walk." ”

Zhu Mingyu was dragged forward by Qin Keji like this, this time Qin Keji's speed was a lot slower, and Zhu Mingyu didn't feel very difficult to follow.

Qin Keji grabbed Zhu Mingyu's wrist through his sleeve, but when he pulled it like this, he felt that her wrist was very thin, and he had a lot of room to cover it with one hand. Feeling her pulse beating, Qin Keji felt that his heartbeat was gradually becoming at the same rate as hers.

In addition to the sound of insects, the surroundings were too quiet, Zhu Mingyu was a little unaccustomed, and just wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, suddenly there was a movement on the edge of the grass, and something swished out, Zhu Mingyu was startled and grabbed Qin Keji's arm.

"What's that?"

Being so close to Zhu Mingyu, Qin Keji suddenly stiffened, her head was on his chin, and his neck was a little itchy from her hair, he wanted to reach out and grab it, but his arm was pulled very tightly by Zhu Mingyu, so he could only endure it and didn't move.

Qin Keji slowed down for a moment before recovering his voice: "It's a rabbit." ”

Seeing that Zhu Mingyu hadn't let go of his arm yet, Qin Keji said: "It's really cowardly, it hurts my arm." ”

It's really a delicate young master, Zhu Mingyu grabbed Qin Keji's arm, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Looking at it this time, it is true, Qin Keji was grabbed by Zhu Mingyu twice on his arm, and in such a dim light, he could see that the red marks were very destructive.

Zhu Mingyu's hand was directly placed on his arm, making Qin Keji feel that the skin under her hand suddenly became a little hot, so he hurriedly shook off her hand and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

What a twisted person.

Zhu Mingyu didn't care about him, and then walked forward with him, and saw some shiny glimmers in front of him from afar, a little strange, there is no lake here.

When he got closer, Zhu Mingyu's vision suddenly widened a lot, and there were many fireflies flying in the open space in front of him, like starlight shattering into the world, flashing and flickering.

Zhu Mingyu had never seen so many fireflies, she was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand, and after a while, a few fell on her hand, and then flew up again, Zhu Mingyu looked up in the direction it flew away, and was in a trance, unable to tell which ones were stars and which were fireflies.
