In the early morning, the imperial city seems quiet and full of novelty, passing through the stone pavement of Xingxingli, lined with shops, waving wine flags, and pedestrians shuttling back and forth on both sides of the street.

In the carriage behind, there was Rou'er's joyful voice, as well as the cheering voices of the girls brought by the Zhang sisters from Jinyang.

"Look! The imperial city is really lively, and there are many more shops than Jinyang City. ”

"That's a shop that sells fat powder, let's buy two boxes too."

Twitter you say, I say it happily.

Jin Se frowned and scolded "Tu Baozi" unhappily.

Jin Juan didn't hear it, and picked up a corner to look outside.

Su Yan smiled: "In the past few months, you two sisters have learned well in the middle feed, right?" ”

Jin Se said disapprerovingly: "What's so difficult about this, as soon as my aunt said it, I understood." "Her eldest cousin is her aunt again.

Su Yan looked at the brocade, it was like a flower, and she looked more and more marked than at the beginning of the year.

Jin Juan said: "I'm learning by heart." ”

So-yeon asked, "Didn't you go to Shuanghe Village again?" At this season, the crops and fruits will be ripe. ”

Once, Jin Juan knelt down to ask for a solution, and she said Qi Su's name.

The brocade silk has a variety of flavors, but she knows what Su Yan means, not so much to see the harvest of the Zhuangzi under the name of the Zhang family, but to say that Su Yan hinted that she should go to see Qi Su.

Jin Juan smiled sadly, turned her face to the side, and said with an emotion that even she herself could not understand: "In the autumn of last year, I was fortunate to see that Zhuang was mature, and I was able to go to the forest to pick a few baskets of lantern-like pestles. I didn't see it this autumn. ”

Jin Se reprimanded: "The eldest sister is a lady eunuch, how can anyone do such a thing, don't lose your identity." ”

Could it be that something happened inside here.

This seemed to be a reminder, but when it came out of Jin Se's mouth, it seemed unusually close.

Before Su Yan went to Jindi, Jin Se had always been a little indifferent to Jin Juan, and a little arrogant, but now she really seems to be using Jin Juan as her own sister.

"The eldest sister is the eldest lady of the Zhang family. Every word and deed must be in accordance with the rules, and you can't mess up half a point. ”

Jin Se seemed to have become a sister, and actually mentioned the words and deeds of Jin Juan.

Jin Juan smiled lightly and didn't say much.

Jinser took her hand, looking like a sister.

fell in So-yeon's eyes. Unspeakably weird.

Under the eastern city walls. A large crowd of people gathered around.

Jinse looked curiously, "What's going on?" ”

Tong Ying sat on the back of the horse and looked over. said: "This year's township test is over, and today is August 15, which is the day of the list." ”

Jin Juan asked, "Do you know who has to understand Yuan?" ”

Tong Ying called Wei Xiong to see, and after a while, Wei Xiong replied: "Jia Fang, Jia Gongzi." ”

Jinse almost exclaimed, "He...... He's got the answer. Turning to the shape, looking at the brocade silk on the side, "Big sister." It's a surprise that he actually got the right thing. ”

Su Yan lowered her eyes, "This time, Changxing, Chuanliang, and Chuanchuan are all admitted to take the exam, and I don't know how they did in the exam?" ”

Wei Xiong said: "There are too many people, I only heard that it is Jia Fang's son of Jia Shilang's family, and I haven't heard about it." "There was a pause. asked, "County Lord, do you want to continue to inquire?" ”

"No need. When we go home, there will be news in the house. Su Yan looked at Jin Se with indescribable joy.

I only heard Jin Se whisper: "The person that my aunt helped pick is really good." My cousin picked a top three, both civil and military, and this one is also competitive and promising. ”

Su Yan joked and said, "You can thank your aunt a lot when you look back." ”

A touch of sadness flashed across Jinjuan's face. That's helplessness and envy.

Did she ever know that Qi Su had nothing now, a student from a poor family, and he would become the most dazzling figure in the future, just like Jiang Shuncheng in the past.

The carriage left the city and staggered in the direction of Tenryu Temple.

Qing Mama rushed to Tianlong Temple early in the morning, take care of everything, Master Wuqing is the new abbot from Nanyue, from Master Wujue heard that Tianlong Temple and Wenzhong Houfu origin, the two families are Buddha-related, even the treasure of the temple in the temple "Sitting on the platform Guanyin" is also the daughter of Wenzhong Mansion Anxi County Lord invited back from the world.

Today's August 15, it is the festival, the presiding abbot specially invited the "Guanyin sitting on the platform" to come out, hang it on the Guanyin Temple, for the believers to worship, the people from ten miles and eight towns have gathered, the piety is very very, and sent two small monks to recite the scriptures in the hall, in case someone defiles the Guanyin map.

Approaching the temple gate, there were already girls waiting in front of the carriage and helping the young ladies they served.

Su Yan's face was covered with a light veil, and she got out of the carriage with Bai Zhi's hand.

While watching the lively people discuss, a little monk greeted him, "But the female dependents of Wenzhong Houfu?" ”

Su Yan replied, "Exactly, there is Master Lao." ”

The little monk clasped his hands together and recited the sentence "Amitabha", Su Yan returned the salute, and several young ladies behind him followed her example and recited "Amitabha".

The little monk said: "The abbot of enlightenment just came out of the customs yesterday, and he prepared refreshments in the backyard and waited for the female benefactor, please!" ”

Tianlong Temple is different from the royal temples and accepts believers from all over the world. The surrounding discussion started, and it was rare to see Tianlong Temple so grand, and it was rare to go out of the temple to welcome people.

Someone asked, "Hey, whose young lady is it?" is so magnificent, and there are guards accompanying him, and even the girls around him are dressed as female officials in the palace. ”

"I heard that Tianlong Temple is going to have a distinguished guest today, and the front hall and backyard are cleaned early in the morning."

"It is said that Wenzhong is from the Houfu, look at the dress and age of these young ladies, one is younger than the other."

Someone shouted: "Look at the great beauty! The first beauty in the world came to Tianlong Temple to worship incense......"

Rou'er was young, and she was startled by this shout, and took Pan'er's hand, "Sister, what are they calling?" ”

"It doesn't matter to us what we say, we are here to offer incense and pray for blessings." Pan'er was careless, and the two sisters entered the temple gate together.

People come and go in the temple, and the front of the Guanyin Hall is crowded.

Rou'er glanced around, and the people coming and going were like a tide, "How can this be incense, there are too many people." ”

Su Yan has her own guard, Bai Zhi is guarding, and she is slowly moving clouds in the direction of the backyard.

Bai Zhi advised: "You follow closely, don't be scattered by the crowd." ”

Pan'er responded and followed more and more closely.

Jiang Shien was unhurried, and followed closely behind Su Yan, for fear of being swept away, "I have heard that this Tianlong Temple is the largest temple in the world, since the old lady invited "Guanyin on the Stage" into the temple. The incense is more prosperous. ”

Zhang Jinse raised his head proudly, "Guanyin is a priceless treasure, and it is painted by the gods, and it can be spiritual." I heard that people who suffered from strange diseases worshipped Guanyin, and they were cured in a few days. There are also couples over the age of 40 who have no children. Very pious. On the first and fifteenth days of each month, I worship incense and worship God, and I became pregnant in a few months, and I am two big fat boys in this life. After the news came out. The incense is even more vigorous. ”

Finally passed through the temple in front of several shrines and Buddha halls, passed a moon cave door, and arrived at the backyard of Tianlong Temple, the courtyard is scattered with several courtyards, an extraordinary library pavilion, a Buddhist temple, and a larger one, is the warrior monk of Tianlong Temple, and there is a courtyard where the monks live......

The pilgrim's house was built deep in the backyard. The most suitable for recuperation is a courtyard with a separate wall, which is divided into a men's and women's courtyard.

The little monk led everyone to the women's guest house and placed two incense rooms.

Su Yan glanced at it, "I haven't been here for a few years, and Tianlong Temple has become more and more lively. Even this pilgrim courtyard has built two new courtyards. ”

The little monk replied: "Thanks to the blessing of the female benefactor, the incense in the temple is now flourishing. Especially on the first and fifteenth day of each month, even believers from thousands of miles away come to worship, and pilgrims from thousands of miles live in the women's guest house behind. ”

"Congratulations!"

The little monk said: "Please ask a few female donors to rest temporarily, and the little monk went to the abbot." ”

"There is Master Lao. Excused me today. ”

The little monk performed the Buddhist rite and withdrew from the women's guest house.

A little novice entered the women's guest house, set up refreshments, and retreated one by one.

Su Yan had just tasted a few sips of tea, and the little monk who had welcomed them in before came over and said, "Female donor, the abbot of enlightenment is invited." ”

Su Yan put down the teacup and went out with Bai Zhi and the guards.

Mama Qing smiled and said, "The county lord just goes, and I will take care of the young ladies here." There are too many people outside to worship incense, and if they stay less, let them go to worship incense. ”

Enlightenment sat cross-legged in the meditation room, with a low table in front of him, a teapot and a teacup, and a heavy Buddhist scripture in front of him. Seeing that Su Yan had arrived, she was about to get up, Su Yan said, "The great monk doesn't have to be polite!" Sit down. ”

Wu Jue smiled, Su Yan walked with him for more than three months when she was a child, and she couldn't compare to others.

Su Yan has a fate with Tianlong Temple, and has a fate with him, and Su Yan invited "Guanyin on the Stage" to enter the temple, and this fate is even more shallow. She put her hands together and recited the phrase "Amitabha", and Wujue pointed to the futon next to the low table, "Female donor, please sit!" ”

Su Yan sat cross-legged, "How is the big monk doing lately?" ”

"It's good."

Su Yan raised her eyebrows, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the great monk still speaks concisely as before." ”

He smiled slightly, "Thank you to the female benefactor for finding the last twenty volumes of the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures for Tianlong Temple." ”

Buddhism in the world is divided into two schools: Southern Buddhism and Northern Buddhism. Southern Buddhism is dominated by Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, and the Central Plains belongs to Southern Buddhism, which was introduced to China from India along the south thousands of years ago; Northern Buddhism is mainly based on Theravada Buddhist scriptures, which were introduced from India from the north to the Western Regions and other countries, such as Tibetan Buddhism.

After more than 1,000 years of transmission, Buddhism has taken root in the Central Plains, with tens of millions of believers all over the world.

In the previous dynasty, in order to establish the prestige of the royal temple, the royal family did not allow the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to circulate in the folk temples, and a fire also made the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures incomplete.

"The great monk doesn't have to hang on to it for a long time, when you sent the scriptures into the temple last year, you gave me a treasure."

She smiled slightly.

"The female benefactor has superb chess skills, how about playing chess with a poor monk?"

"Good! I haven't played chess with a great monk for many years. ”

Great monk is an honorific title for a monk who has attained the Tao, like a master, they are all honorific titles, the difference is that secular people prefer to call him "master", and Su Yan calls him "great monk" because she is familiar with him.

A little monk gave a chessboard, and the two of them each held a chess piece and played against each other.
