Chapter 61: White Dragon Temple
The White Dragon Temple, located in the middle of Baihe Town and Yunyang City, cannot be regarded as the largest temple in Youzhou, but it is definitely the most exquisite temple in Youzhou. The temple hall is splendid, the scenery is pleasant, and the food is especially famous.
Because it is only an hour's drive away from Yunyang City, the first city in Youzhou, there are many rich and noble families who come and go to Bailong Temple on weekdays, especially on a few big days of Buddhism, and pilgrims do not know how many.
Fortunately, today is not such a big day as the Buddha's birthday, even so, when the carriage of the Ren family arrived at the mountain gate of the White Dragon Temple, he still saw a lot of carriages coming and going.
Ren Yao has also been to Bailong Temple once or twice, but that is already a matter of the previous life.
After getting out of the carriage, the eldest lady and her daughter-in-law Zhao walked in front, and the two were talking in a low voice. The juniors followed the two of them.
Ren Yaoyu whispered to her brother: "Didn't you say that there were only a few brothers and sisters before?" Why did the aunt and sister-in-law also come? ”
Ren Yijian was talking to Ren Yihong, and he didn't pay attention to her, which made her bored. However, Ren Yaoyu didn't dare to settle accounts with her brother, and she had asked him for help a lot recently.
As soon as the White Dragon Temple enters the temple gate, there is a single-hole bridge in the north-south direction lying on the white guide road in the square. The whole bridge is about three or four zhang long, one zhang wide, and a little deep. However, there is no water under the bridge, but a golden water channel made of green bricks. In the bridge holes on the east and west sides of the single-hole bridge, a money clock with a circular square hole is hung in each of the bridge holes.
Ren Yaoqi and his party were walking outside the white stone railing on the right side of the bridge hole less than two feet away from the bridge, Ren Yijian hurriedly said to the mother-in-law who followed behind: "Give the young master a few coins," while also saying to Ren Yihongxian, "Every time the young master walks through here, it is a hundred shots." ”
It turns out that the money-shaped bell in the bridge cave is used to ring for pilgrims, and if you can hear the sound of "ding" and throw copper coins at the bell while standing outside this railing, you will get good luck.
Children love this game the most, and often refuse to leave without hearing the bell. Ren Yao was still here when he came before, but he didn't hit it once.
There were already some people on the railing, and sometimes a "ding" sound could be heard. and cheers.
The eldest lady turned her head and said to Ren Yijian, who was eager to try: "Brother Jian'er, let's go first to burn incense to the Buddha, and then you can play in the White Dragon Temple." ”
Ren Yijian looked at the eldest lady with a kind face, and reluctantly took back the two coins in his hand.
The eldest lady turned back and talked to the eldest young lady as she walked.
The eldest lady believes in Buddhism, and the Buddha has always been pious, so several juniors of the Ren family follow her in a regular manner. Even Ren Yaoyu, her mother is not here, and she is a lot more honest in front of the eldest wife.
Although the eldest lady has always spoken kindly to the juniors of the Ren family, she has been in charge of the family for a long time and has a sense of majesty on her body. Therefore, the juniors are all well-behaved in front of her, and they dare not be presumptuous.
After following the eldest lady to the palace to offer incense, the eldest lady explained to several people: "Your sister-in-law and I are going to ask for a signature." You just walk around this monastery and come back when you eat. Just remember that you can't leave anyone around you, especially a few sisters. Jin Yuan, Yaohua, the two of you are older and have a calm temperament, so take care of some more and take care of several younger siblings. ”
Everyone responded, and Ren Yijian immediately pulled Ren Yihong and left. On the other hand, he also asked Yun Wenfang and Qiu Yun: "Cousin, do you want to go with us?" ”
The folding fan in Qiu Yun's hand opened and closed, shook his head and smiled: "We are not children, we don't play with that." ”
Ren Yijian rolled his eyes. Ran away.
Ren Yijun looked at his mother and secretly walked to Ren Yaoqi's side, and the eldest lady frowned and said, "Yijun, come here." Come with me and your sister-in-law to ask for a visa. ”
Ren Yijun still listened to his mother's words at this time, so although his face was full of reluctance, he finally stopped and walked back to his mother, only the gloomy look on his face could make people retreat.
The eldest lady said to Ren Yaoyin, who was leaning lightly on her mother-in-law and her face was a little unsightly: "I asked the monk to prepare a room for resting, you go with me to rest." ”
Ren Yaoyin couldn't stand the bumps of the carriage and was a little uncomfortable. She couldn't travel far in a carriage, and the fifth wife once joked that Ren Yaoyin was squeamish, and she could only go closer to her in-laws to marry in the future.
Ren Yaochi was hesitant to follow Ren Yijun, and after thinking about it, she still said to the eldest lady: "Auntie, I will also go with you to ask for a signature." ”
The eldest lady glanced at her with some surprise, but said gently: "You are still young and don't need to go, let's go and play with your sisters." I remember that there is an apricot blossom forest in the mountain behind the White Dragon Temple, and I don't know if the road has bloomed at this time. ”
Ren Yaoyu pursed her lips and whispered: "In previous years, when it was not cold, it would only bloom in March and April, but this year is colder than in previous years, how can it bloom so early?" ”
The eldest lady had already walked away with the eldest young lady, Ren Yaoyin, Ren Yijun followed behind them with his hands behind his back, looking listless, and was seen by the eldest lady, turned his head and taught him a few words, he could only barely cheer up.
When Ren Yaoyu saw that the eldest lady and the others were gone, she immediately said to Qiu Yun, "Cousin, where are we going?" ”
Qiu Yun glanced at Yun Wenfang, and then looked at the Ren sisters.
Ren Yaoyu looked at him with a smile on her face, while Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, and their attention was not there.
"Let's go to the apricot blossom forest in the back mountain first. Even if the apricot blossoms are not blooming, it is good to see the mountain view behind the mountain. Originally, we were planning to come to Qingqing, didn't we? There are only clay statues of Bodhisattvas in this temple, and the main hall with carved beams can not see the slightest vivid scene. ”
Several people had no opinion.
Qiu Yun is no stranger to the White Dragon Temple, and he doesn't need the monks in the temple to lead the way, so he takes a few people to the back mountain. On the one hand, he also introduced the origin of the White Dragon Temple and the allusions of some buildings in the temple.
Qiu Yun is such a person, if he wants to behave in a friendly and friendly manner, then he is your most intimate and interesting friend. But if he wants to keep his distance from you, then he is a stranger who is difficult to approach, but impeccable in manners.
Because of this, Ren Yaochi in the previous life was disgusted with him. In this life, she also just wants to keep her distance from him.
In the early spring of this year, the apricot blossoms behind the White Dragon Temple have not yet had time to fully bloom, but there are also some small buds on the branches of some apricot trees.
"Shall we sit in that pavilion?" Qiu Yun looked like a good guide, pointed to an octagonal pavilion hidden in the apricot forest, and said to a few people.
When a few people approached, they found that there were already people sitting in the pavilion, two teenagers and two young girls, both thirteen or fourteen years old.
Qiu Yun paused, frowned slightly and whispered to Yun Wenfang: "Oh no, I know." Do you want to shy away? ”
Yun Wenfang raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the person in the pavilion, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "No, is it possible that I am still afraid that he will sue me?" ”
It just so happened that a young man in a blue spring shirt in the pavilion also looked over here, and when his eyes met Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately stood up and greeted loudly: "Zishu, Jin Yuan, why are you here?" ”
Qiu Yun stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Su, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
Ren Yaoqi also looked at the people in the pavilion, and the young man he knew with Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang was handsome, with a faint bookish aura on his body, and his gestures were also very safe, and his background was not bad at a glance.
Qiu Yun called him "Brother Su", could it be that he was from the Su family in Yunyang City?
It's a pity that when Ren Yao was in Yanbei in his last life, he rarely had the opportunity to go out because he was not favored by the old lady. The people of the Ren family went to Yunyang City a lot, but Ren Yaochi went to it very rarely, and he only went to his grandfather's house.
In the previous life, she saw people she didn't necessarily recognize, and in this life, she couldn't recognize them even more.
The other young man in the pavilion looked just ordinary, but he was dressed well. Two girls, one can barely be called delicate, and there are a few freckles on their faces. Another younger girl looks good, but it's a pity that a pair of eyes are too flexible, which makes people dislike it.
Over there, the young man surnamed Su was very friendly and said to Yunwen: "...... I haven't seen you for a long time, and I heard your brother say that you are far away? ”
Yun Wenfang leaned on the pavilion pillar, looking lazy, and when he heard the words, he just replied with a "hmm", as if he was dismissive of the friendly accosting of the young man surnamed Su.
Qiu Yun stepped forward in time to interrupt, patted his forehead and said, "By the way, look at my rudeness." Brother Su, this is my three cousins of the Ren family. The third cousin, the fifth cousin, and the eighth cousin, this is Su Yunchen, the second young master of the Su family. Dongfu's second cousin is his own aunt, and he can be regarded as your cousin. ”
It turned out to be really from the Su family.
Ren Yaoqi and several people hurriedly bent their knees to greet him.
Su Yunchen returned the salute very politely, and introduced the other three in the pavilion to Ren Yaoqi and his party.
"This is the eldest young master of the Tang family, Zishu, Jin Yuan, you should have seen it, he only entered our academy last year. These two girls are his cousins, the two girls of the Liu family in Guidongfang, Yunyang City. ”
