The turmoil in the court, the girls in the Gu family's house are naturally not clear.

After the Flower Dynasty, Gu Qingwan only stayed in the Yuanxiang Pavilion every day to copy the "Family Motto" a hundred times, except for the morning and dusk provinces.

Because she concentrated on copying books, it was easy to pass the time, and within a few days, she finished copying the rest of the "Family Motto". Thinking that Mrs. Gu believed in Buddhism, and it would be Guanyin's birthday in a few days, Gu Qingwan simply copied two more copies of "Myoho-renge-kyo" and personally sent them to the Tansong Courtyard for Mrs. Gu to see.

When the eldest girl was not out of the cabinet, the Buddhist scriptures here here were copied by Gu Qingshu every year. Now that Gu Qingshu is out of the cabinet, if she wants to please Mrs. Gu, the girls in each room naturally rely on their own abilities. Guanyin's birthday is such an excellent opportunity to copy scriptures, how can the girls let it go?

Now Mrs. Gu has more than a dozen Buddhist scriptures in her hands, all of which were sent by the girls in each room some time ago.

It's just that the third girl, Gu Qingwan, has never done such a thing, and when Mrs. Gu saw that Gu Qingwan seemed to have suddenly opened her mind, she was really a little happy in her heart. She asked Yuzhan to take her mother-in-law to send Gu Qingwan's copy of the "Family Motto" to the outer courtyard, and the two Buddhist scriptures were put in a box and shelved, and they were burned in the temple in a few days.

Gu Qingwan accompanied Old Madam Gu for another quarter of an hour, and Old Madam Gu rewarded her with a pair of golden bells, and then sent her to the Yuanxiang Pavilion. Gu Qingwan only thought that Old Madam Gu's so-called love was not true, so she only treated Old Madam Gu respectfully and politely, and did not deliberately please her.

didn't expect that just copying two Buddhist scriptures would get real benefits, but it made Gu Qingwan reweigh the distance between her and Mrs. Gu.

On the day of Guanyin's birthday on February 19, Mrs. Gu took several ladies and five girls of the Gu family to Jingguo Temple.

The Grand Lady has always disbelieved in these things, but today there are some exceptions. First, it was to cater to Mrs. Gu, and secondly, because Gu Qingshu was pregnant, and the eldest lady wanted to ask for it in front of the Buddha.

It's just that the eldest lady wants to go to Jingguo Temple, and the inner house can't be left unattended, so the eldest lady asked the eldest young grandmother Zhou to stay and take care of the house, and she went out with Mrs. Gu.

Just the maids and ladies who accompanied the servants all took more than a dozen cars, plus the Gu family's wives and girls, and a group of more than 20 carriages went out of the city.

Jingguo Temple has six courtyards and seven entrances, and it is the largest temple in Beijing and the most effective incense. In addition, today is Guanyin's birthday, and the Gu family's battle today is really not eye-catching. The Great Compassion Hall of Jingguo Temple enshrines the eight great Bodhisattvas, and there is also the Guanyin Pavilion dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva in the Buddha Hall of Mrs. Gu was invited back to Dingyuan Hou's Mansion from the Guanyin Pavilion of Jingguo Temple more than ten years ago.

Within two years later, Gu Mingde was married by the emperor, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Huaiwang Mansion became in-laws, and the Gu family's family business naturally went further. After that, Gu Mingli won the Jinshi, and Mrs. Gu's three sisters-in-law all had a good future.

Most of the wishes made by Mrs. Gu in front of the Buddha have come true. As a result, Mrs. Gu also believed in Buddhism more, and added incense money to Jingguo Temple every year. On a day like Guanyin's birthday, she must have taken it very seriously.

Old Madam Gu sat in a car alone, leaving only Yuzhan alone to wait in the carriage. As soon as she got into the car, Mrs. Gu sat down, turned the Buddhist beads on her wrist and began to recite the scriptures. Yuzhan didn't dare to disturb, but just stood by quietly.

Compared with Old Madam Gu's carriage, the cars behind it can be regarded as lively.

It takes an hour and a half to travel from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to the Jingguo Temple, and the carriage is bumpy, and the eldest lady can't squint for a while, so she and the second lady Xiao Sun sat in a carriage, and it was easy to find Xiao Sun on the road to talk. The third lady, Xue, took a book, got into the carriage and stopped making a sound, naturally sitting in a car alone.

Gu Qingyan abandoned the fourth girl and the sixth girl, and named her to sit in the same car as Gu Qingwan, so Gu Qingwan suffered a lot from the white eyes of the sixth girl, Gu Qingjie. The sixth girl pulled the seventh girl to sit in a car, and this time, it was the fourth girl Gu Qingrao who left the order, so she kept a calm face all the way.

Gu Qingwan got into the car and sat on both sides of Gu Qingyan clearly. Although they all brought the maids who served with them, fortunately, the Gu family's carriage was very spacious, and even if there were four people, it would not seem crowded.

The fifth girl, Gu Qingyan, looked at Gu Qingwan for a while, but Gu Qingwan just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, ignoring her at all, which made Gu Qingyan feel very bored.

Ever since Gu Qingwan was grounded from Yuanxiang Pavilion, Gu Qingyan felt that she was getting less and less happy.

Although Gu Qingwan didn't like Xiao Sun's family before, her attitude towards Gu Qingyan was quite good∠ Gu Qingwan didn't look down on the Gu family's concubine, Gu Qingya had a cold temperament, and Gu Qingyan was the only one who could talk on weekdays.

But recently, Gu Qingwan has only nested in the Yuanxiang Pavilion, and she doesn't come out and walk around, she met when she asked for peace, Gu Qingwan's attitude was also very cold, and her words seemed to be coping. Gu Qingwan, who used to make a big fuss as long as the four girls teased a little, now makes Gu Qingyan feel a little elusive.

Gu Qingyan squinted her eyes and glanced at the peach branch sitting next to Gu Qingwan, and the smile on her face deepened: "Third sister, I haven't seen you walking around the garden recently, but we haven't spoken alone for a long time." ”

"Yes, I've been copying books in the house all this time, and besides, this garden looks the same, and now I'm not interested." Gu Qingwan opened her eyes, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Although there were some bumps on the road after leaving the city, Gu Qingwan did not have the problem of motion sickness, and she closed her eyes again, so she almost fell asleep.

Gu Qingyan looked at Gu Qingwan and was stunned for a moment, and her head on her knees clenched unconsciously.

The third girl is arrogant, and the female relatives in Beijing have not been very good. Gu Qingyan has followed Xiao Sun's family in various mansions for so many years, she has been careful for so long, and she has forced herself to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she has barely gained the reputation of a "talented girl", but she is very jealous of Gu Qingwan in her heart.

In addition to being jealous that Gu Qingwan was the daughter of the original match, he was even more jealous that Gu Qingwan had a good skin.

Gu Qingwan's face was already very beautiful, she liked bright colors before, and she was very delicate, but it brought out the pungency in her temperament to the fullest. It's just that today is to go to the temple to offer incense, Gu Qingwan deliberately picked out a plain dress yesterday, but it was a lotus-blue flowing color dark flower forging dress that was only made this year, which made her face like clotted fat and her eyes like paint.

In addition, Gu Qingwan, who has always been in a hurry, doesn't know how to restrain her temperament, but now she looks at it, and she has a bit of a graceful posture.

Gu Qingyan also heard the grandmother in the family discuss it in private, saying that the third girl's appearance is very similar to the second lady in the lead. These two ladies are Gu Mingli's original partner, He's.

Holding back the jealousy in her heart, Gu Qingyan reluctantly smiled: "How can it be the same, there are a lot of flowers in the garden in the spring, it must be that the third sister didn't look carefully, and used this to perfunctory me." ”

Gu Qingwan didn't want to greet Gu Qingyan, and was about to say a few words to bypass, when she heard a loud movement in front of her, and the carriage that Gu Qingwan was riding also slowed down.

The carriage stopped for a while, and Gu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh softly when she saw that Gu Qingwan was still unmoved, and glanced at Xingyu beside her. Xingyu nodded, and asked the mother-in-law who was guarding the carriage through the curtain what was going on outside.

The woman answered, came back after a while, and whispered outside the curtain: "There are too many people going up the mountain today, the mountain intersection is blocked, and I happened to run into the carriage of the Cao family." ”

The Cao family mentioned in the mother-in-law's mouth naturally refers to the husband's family of Xiao Sun's maiden sister.

When Gu Qingyan heard the mother-in-law's reply, her eyes darkened a little, and she secretly glanced at Gu Qingwan again. It's just that Gu Qingwan had already closed her eyes, and Gu Qingyan couldn't see through what she was thinking, so she could only stare at Taozhi discouragedly.

Xiao Sun's family had already spread the matter of the Gu family's intimacy with the Cao family to Gu Qingwan's ears through Taozhi's mouth. It's just that I didn't expect to wait for several days, and Gu Qingwan didn't have a seizure, which made Xiao Sun and Gu Qingyan a little surprised. But Taozhi swore that Gu Qingwan had a lot of fire in the Yuanxiang Pavilion after hearing this, which made Xiao Sun's mind run out.

It's just that now Old Madam Gu still hasn't given a clear attitude, and Xiao Sun, Gu Qingyan and the others are a little anxious. With Gu Qingwan's current reputation, it is not easy to find the right family in Beijing, and I don't know what the old lady is hesitating about.

Gu Qingyan thought hatefully, what if Gu Qingwan was the original match, she could only pick the rest of her in this life, and she didn't want to fight for her.

The road up the mountain was blocked, and Mrs. Gu hurried up the mountain to make incense, so the eldest lady sent someone to dredge it. Fortunately, the people in front heard that it was the Gu family's carriage, but they were willing to give way. However, after being delayed on the road for a while, this stick of incense was grabbed by Mrs. Xie of the Liguo Mansion.

Old Madam Gu was sincere, but she didn't care about these very much. She got off the carriage early, walked to the door of the main hall with all the ladies and girls of the Gu family, and respectfully hit the bell with incense, and then went to the Great Compassion Hall and Guanyin Pavilion to worship.

After a series of trivial procedures were completed, a young novice who was about ten years old invited Mrs. Gu to listen to the master's lecture in the meditation room, and the eldest lady naturally followed Mrs. Gu to go with her. And the rest of the Gu family was taken to the apse.

Today is Guanyin's birthday, most of the women who come are the ladies of the various provinces in Beijing, and the Jingguo Temple cleared the field yesterday. The male guests stay in the front hall, the female dependents rest in the back hall, and the individual guests are not allowed to enter, and they are left in the temple to wait, all of them are old or young monks.
