Chapter 78: The Ancient Path and the Secluded Buddhist Temple Reunion
February 15 passed in the blink of an eye. February 19 legend is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, this Beijing is considered a grand event, at this time of year the rich family always drag the family to go to various Buddhist temples to burn incense, worship Guanyin, worship Buddha, pray for the fulfillment of wishes. The eldest lady discussed with the eldest lady in advance: "This year is not as good as in previous years, the queen mother and the old lady are sick together, and my heart is not in decline." So I plan to go to Wanshou Temple a few days in advance to offer incense, eat vegetarian fasting for a few days, worship the Buddha devoutly, and pray for the two old people! ”
The eldest lady originally Tantuo Temple provided an everlasting lamp, in the past every year on February 19 is also to Tantuo Temple incense, this year changed the Wanshou Temple, but also for an auspicious begging for a colorful meaning, of course the old man understands the truth.
The eldest lady said again: "The four girls are busy preparing for marriage, the eight girls are married and small, and the seven girls are filial piety to the old lady every day, and I am ready to take a few of them to go, and they are also loose and loose!" The eighth girl has been sullen for a while, and the eldest lady's persuasion and persuasion have no effect, so she just took this opportunity to take out the Lu to relax her spirit. As for Yufei and Yulan, they are just "accompanying the prince to study" by the way.
When the eldest lord saw that the eldest lady had revealed a five-girl alone, he said unhappily: "Since they are all gone, bring Xia'er with them!" The corners of the eldest lady's mouth pulled a sneer, she was proud of the spring breeze these days, because of Yuxin's marriage, the relationship with the eldest master had just eased, but she didn't want to quarrel with her husband like this, and it was definitely not appropriate to leave Yuxia at home. A charge of "mistreating" a concubine can't escape.
The eldest lady sneered and said, "My lord can be relieved, how can I be the kind of person who has no eyes!" The lord doesn't want to think about it, if their mother and daughter keep to themselves and stop making trouble with me every day, how can I, a dignified Yang family wife, not tolerate a concubine and a concubine? "It won't be long before she becomes the prince's mother-in-law, but I want to see how many days Aunt Liu has to live proudly.
The eldest lady asked the second and fifth wives. The fifth wife refused the eldest wife's good intentions when she was close to her, and the second wife refused without hesitation, she and the eldest wife have never dealt with each other very much, and they can't see the big lady and the villain's ambition, so naturally they won't join in the fun. The eldest lady said that she wanted to take the nine girls to relax, Yuqing wanted to go, but her mother didn't go, how could she be a daughter and go past her mother, so she also found an excuse to resign.
Actually, the nine girls really want to go! Nima is under this boxy sky all year round, and people are already stuffy and moldy!
For this reason, the nine girls also went to Lu Jingzhai and sighed several times, and drank up Yulan's two top-grade hair tips, which Yulan cheekily begged from Yinyue.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Aunt Liu ran to the eldest man and begged, saying that she also wanted to follow his wife out of the house to relax. A few days ago, because of the inheritance, Aunt Liu was snubbed by the eldest lord for a while, in recent days, the eldest lady is busy with Yuxin's marriage, and has no spare time to compete with Aunt Liu's favor, Aunt Liu seized the opportunity to desperately save her impression in front of the eldest master, and the eldest lord slowly resumed his love for her. Thinking that as an aunt, it was difficult for her to go back once a year, so the eldest lord let her go.
There is also a precedent for taking my aunt to worship the Buddha, and it is the eldest master's order, although the eldest lady responds like a fly in her heart, she can't say anything.
On the 17th day of February, the eldest lady arranged the carriage early, brought enough guards and servants, and the group went straight to Wanshou Temple.
The eldest lady took Yuxin to the first car in front, and Yulan and the three sisters Yufei and Yuxia took the second car. As soon as I got in the car, Yulan felt uncomfortable. These two sisters all had cold faces, and they turned their faces away when they saw Yulan coming up. Yulan is wearing a smoky purple jacket today, her black hair is simply pulled up, and she is still restrained and unassuming, but as she grows older, her lips are red and her teeth are white, as if she looks very good in simple clothes. Needless to say, Yufei was completely compared to her.
Yuxia is angry when she sees her now, she has always boasted of her beautiful face, but how can she not compare to a J □ J student? Yufei is because of her marriage, and she holds a grudge against Yulan. She was originally a gloomy character, but thinking that she was about to get married, she had a lot less scruples in her heart, Yulan actually felt it a long time ago, but thinking that she was always her sister, she also sent a lot of jewelry to her a few days ago to add makeup. I didn't think that Yufei was lukewarm to her, and there was a lot of sarcasm and sarcasm between her words! Yulan made a fuss, and finally understood in her heart, some people just can't feed the white-eyed wolf, if you just take out your heart and give it to her, she won't think hello!
Yulan has not yet reached the realm of selflessness and selflessness, and since then he has faded away from Yufei.
The three sisters fell silent for a moment. Yulan didn't feel embarrassed, but felt that Yuxia's eyes shrank, as if there was something on her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Good Wanshou Temple is very close. The eldest lady sent a steward to inform the abbot the day beforehand. The abbot heard that when the family of the first assistant came to the temple to worship the Buddha incense, and the eldest lady was generous, she donated a large amount of sesame oil money before coming, so she took the monk to greet him outside the mountain gate early.
The eldest lady got out of the car with her daughters, all of whom wore hats and long veils that covered half of their faces. In fact, the abbot is already nearly seventy years old, and there is nothing to avoid. The eldest lady and the abbot exchanged a few words, and the abbot sent someone to lead them to an independent courtyard, because the temple often has dignitaries and female dependents who occasionally live, and the abbot has already prepared to build the courtyard quite scattered, far apart, and others are not easy to disturb. The eldest lady saw that this courtyard was spacious enough and quite quiet and elegant, and she was very satisfied for a while.
Although the yard is quite large, after all, there is only one entry, and it is a little unrealistic for the eldest lady and the girls to have one room each. Of course, there is only one main room, and the eldest lady was going to take Yuxin to live in the main room, but who knew that Yuxin was very uninterested in her mother's closeness, so she didn't wait for the eldest lady to speak, and she preemptively said: "I want to live with the seventh sister!" ”
The eldest lady's face changed, but after thinking about it, although she was her own mother, the eighth girl would not be the crown princess in a short time, so she still didn't want to make the relationship with her daughter too stiff, so although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she didn't say anything. The eighth girl was not polite, and directly pointed to the east wing room and asked the maids and servants to move the salute in.
Yufei and Yuxia are both sisters, but she doesn't care, and the eldest lady also takes it for granted, after all, the eighth girl is a concubine, and her status is already higher than that of the concubine, plus she is the future princess, who can say anything? Who dares to say anything?
Seeing this, Yuxia and Aunt Liu secretly exchanged a look, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes. Although Yufei was a little bolder and dared to show dissatisfaction with Yulan, she still didn't dare to be disrespectful to the eldest lady, so although she was unhappy in her heart, she didn't show it at all on the surface. only said: "Eighth sister chooses the room first, and then we will pick after choosing!" ”
Then the four girls, the five girls and Aunt Liu respectively chose the room, everyone settled down, this time the eldest lady was going to stay in Wanshou Temple for a few more days, and she told everyone before coming, so everyone brought a lot of salutes, just a few young ladies saluted and there was a whole carriage.
At one time, the yard was moving things and moving things, tidying up the salute, tidying up the salute, a piece of chickens and dogs jumping, and several young ladies all commanded the mother-in-law to clean up and salute. Yulan didn't bring much with her, and she didn't care too much about these things outside her body, so she entrusted it to Mother Qian to take care of, and she stepped forward to show the eldest lady, saying that she would go to the hall to worship the Buddha.
After getting permission, Yulan took the two big girls out of the yard. But he did not go into the main hall, but walked along the mountain path. The big mansion in Yang's Mansion has been holding back for too long, Yulan is like a bird out of a cage, and I feel that the sky is wider and the air is clearer. What a beauty! As a member of the ancient ruling class, she didn't worry about food or clothing, and there were a bunch of maids and wives to serve her in food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Yulan didn't plan to go far, she just wanted to take a walk around the neighborhood and breathe some fresh air. There was a quiet path behind the courtyard, and not far away was a large forest, and Yulan took the maid to the forest.
Xiaoyu opened her mouth and wanted to persuade her a few words, but after thinking about it, she forgot it. She has long figured out Yulan's temper, she is kind and kind, but she has a big idea, and it is decided that few people can change things. What's more, she has always acted in a measured manner, and Xiaoyu swallowed the persuasion back into her stomach.
Wanshou Temple is built halfway up the mountainside, the central axis of the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Dharma Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is a lot, the position of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is high, but there is also a small courtyard built behind it, it is very exquisitely arranged, it is equivalent to the presidential suite in the five-star hotel, the abbot has the way to operate, it is not easy to open in the Dafu Dagui Temple. It's just that now there is a forty-year-old woman living in this small courtyard, but it is Mrs. Qi, the mother of the Bai family, the princess who died young. This old lady has lived in the temple for a while, the old lady died a son in infancy, and when she gave birth to Bai, she injured her body again, and since then she has never come out, so she pinned all her efforts on Bai's body. Who knew that the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and the Bai family Fanghua died early, and the sadness was her mother-in-law, so I really wanted to go with her. After sending the Bai family away, Mrs. Qi ate a long fast, and spent most of the month living in this Wanshou Temple. The reason why he settled here is also because Wanshou Temple is close to Baifu, and General Bai has had a friendship with the abbot for decades.
Today, Ye Yichen also came to visit his mother-in-law, and he and the daughter of the Yang family just happened to be on the front foot and the back foot! In ancient times, marriage was a good combination of two surnames, although the Bai family is dead, but the relationship between Ye Yichen and the Bai family has not changed, and Ye Yichen has always respected the old lady. Now it's three points better than before, and every few days I have to go up the mountain to see the old man's house, and by the way, I am also loose and loose. He didn't want to sell his reputation, but in fact, when the Taizong Dynasty was in the past, Ye Yichen was still down, and General Bai Lao made the decision to marry his daughter to a prince who was not ambitious, and Mrs. Qi was also very much in favor of it. The old couple tried their best to help him back then, so to speak, without the support of the Bai family, there would be no Ye Yichen today.
Ye Yichen brought a lot of things up the mountain, and when he saw Mrs. Qi and asked a few words about food, clothing, housing and transportation, Ye Yichen was speechless. The sixteenth master is very good at leading troops to fight, but comforting people is a bit professional and inappropriate. After drinking the tea in the temple, Ye Yichen went out of the house.
I saw Yuan's big head sneaking over. Ye Yichen frowned, this Yuan head is honest and honest in appearance, but he is a ghost, Ye Yichen likes him quite a lot. Seeing him like that, he knew that something was wrong, so he asked him, "What's the matter?" ”
Yuan said angrily: "Lord Wang, I inquired just now, there is someone in front of us!" ”
Ye Yichen thought to himself, aren't you talking nonsense, when did such a big temple lack incense pilgrims? Ye Yichen raised his eyebrows: "Let's talk about the point!" ”
"It's Yang Yuanfu's family!" The big head thought for a while and added: "Big house!" That chick should too! ”
That chick? What is this?
Ye Yichen glared at the big head fiercely, and the big head shrank his neck in fright. The big head is the captain of his own soldiers, and his personality is very pleasing. Ye Yichen doesn't like to use a small guy, he usually always takes him with him when he goes out, almost every time he meets Yulan, this guy is next to him, since he found out that his prince has been using the Yang family's chick close-fitting silk handkerchief, the big head thinks that there is a situation here!
Ye Yichen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In fact, the big head is not bad at all, I don't know when, the beautiful woman Qianying flashed in front of him from time to time, Ye Yichen is not a long life, I don't know how many stunning women he has seen in his life, and there are not a few self-recommended pillow seats. However, he laughed it all off, and did not take these people seriously. What about her, what was it that attracted him? Maybe it's the indifferent eyes that dance with the flame of refusal. Intuitively, Ye Yichen felt that she was the same kind of person as herself, proud and stubborn. It's just that she hides these deep under everyone's beautiful appearance, and others can't easily see it.
Ye Yichen stared at the big head and looked at it for a while, and saw that the big head was cold and sweat beads appeared on his forehead. The aura of the sixteenth master is not a joke, and the two cold eyes on the big head baptize the Yali Mountain. It wasn't until the big head lowered his head timidly that Ye Yichen chuckled: "You are really getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to mix things up with this king!" "He really wants to go and see the girl, but everyone is a woman, so there's no reason!
Ye Yichen waved his hand: "Lead the way!" ”
"Ugh!" The big head was confused, Ye Yichen said: "I heard that there is a plum forest in the temple, and now when there is a plum blossom, this king is interested for a while, so you will take this king over to take a look!" ”
The big head cried: "Lord Wang, why haven't I heard that there is a Merlin in this temple?" "The big head has been with Ye Yichen several times, and the temple has already been visited, and he doesn't know whether there is a plum forest in this temple.
Ye Yichen sneered: "Aren't you willing to ask around?" Why can't you even inquire about such a thing? If you can't find Merlin today, the king will reward you with twenty sticks. ”
The big head was immediately stupid. Lord, are you angry at me about the central matter? You're a communiqué personal vendetta, there's no Merlin at all, where do you let me conjure one for you?
"Hey! Ay! The big head didn't dare to delay, so he took Ye Yichen and walked down the mountain with a bitter face.
The big head led the way, secretly wiping cold sweat while walking, blaming himself for being too curious, casually mixing with the prince's private affairs, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, how should this end? Today's meal seems to be settled! The more I think about it, the more desperate I become!
Please! The big head and eyes rolled wildly, and he thought about what to do as he walked. The back mountain is quiet, and I haven't seen a single figure after walking for a long time. The big head was in a hurry, and the road became more and more biased, Ye Yichen actually just wanted to come out and relax, and spanking was just to scare and scare him, but he had to do a full set of plays, and then he asked in a deep voice. "Do you know the way?"
There was a forest in front of them, but it wasn't a plum forest but a pine forest. The big-headed ghost said, "It's here, it's here!" Hiding from the plague god, he walked along the forest path. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a small pavilion in front of me, and in the pavilion a master and two servants were sitting, and when I saw two men walking in, they were all startled and stood up involuntarily.
The big head saw the surprise on his face in the middle, as if he was as excited as seeing his mother, he turned his head and salivated, pointed to the green pine and cypress on the side and said: "Lord, look at Merlin, this is not here!" ”
The savior is finally here! The big head was so excited that he cried!
Yulan fixed his eyes and took a look!
At this time, the sun had just risen, and the warm winter sun sprinkled the forest, smearing the lines of the man's knife and axe into a golden red. Ye Yichen walked slowly in the fine sunlight in the forest, this picture was too beautiful, like a dream, it made people feel a little unreal, Yulan stared at him with a good eye, and his heart beat a little faster for a while.
