Chapter 253: Seeing Good Sisters in the Temple
Tianyou Temple perennial incense is prosperous, not only there are many pilgrims in the temple, but also a lot of courtyard rooms and the like are prepared for large families, specifically for them to rest. As long as you say hello in advance, there will definitely be a place.
Since Lin Zhu promised Wang Qingyan and Dong Yuzhen to meet on the fifteenth day of incense, he was ready the night before and set off early in the morning.
In the early morning of June, it was very cool, Lin Zhu sat in a carriage, followed by Qian Xueyan and Minglu, Feng Yuanbo had a carriage in front, and a group of four years headed towards Tianyou Temple.
"Girl, have you been there before?" Minglu was a little excited, she was the first time to enter the incense, and it was very novel.
"No, it's my first time going to the temple too." Lin Zhu shook her head, although she has never entered the temple in two lifetimes, but she has seen it on TV before, it is nothing more than showing sincerity, adding a little more incense, of course, kowtowing a little more, although there is some physical exertion, but people say that there are gods in the three feet of the head, even if you don't believe it, you have to show more piety.
"Girl, don't be nervous, just find a monk with you when the time comes." As a veteran, Qian Xuehui has been to the temple many times before, and for her, the temple incense is completely familiar.
"Hmm." Lin Zhu nodded, she didn't show the excitement of the first incense like Ming Lu, which may have made Qian Xuehui misunderstand that she was nervous, but she didn't explain too much.
Because he walked early, there were very few people on the way to Tianyou Temple, so that Lin Zhu could open the curtain and look at the scenery outside the carriage.
There was no mountain to the west of the capital, so Tianyouji Temple was built on a large area of flat land. It covers a very wide area, and it is also worthy of the name of the first temple of Shengyuan.
Tianyou Temple does not have very high and long steps, but there is a long passage, after the carriage arrives at the scope of Tianyou Temple, first in the carriage stored outside a special more or more or inside, and then walk into the mountain gate of Tianyou Temple.
After Lin Zhu got out of the carriage, she stood in front of the passage, and she suddenly felt a little funny in her heart, which made those ladies how to go. Usually, the door does not go out of the door. It's a long way for them to bear.
With incense and candle offerings and the like, Lin Zhu and his party of four walked towards the temple gate.
Although the passage is very long, it has to be said that the design of Tianyou Temple is very clever and the road is very spacious. It is possible to walk two carriages side by side. Tall trees are planted on both sides of the road. It doesn't look very empty.
The passage is made of stone slabs, and it can be seen that a huge amount of manpower and material resources were spent on the construction of this temple. The view on both sides is also very good. Rows of trees stretch outwards one after another, long and lush, and under the June sun, the large squares on both sides of the road are full of greenery, and they are very cool and refreshing at a glance.
"Look, there's a place to wander around." Lin Zhu pointed to the square made of trees and said.
"Tianyou Temple is indeed painstaking." Feng Yuanbo looked at the trees and nodded.
There are many famous mountain monks in the world, and one of the meanings in this sentence is that most of the temples are built on the mountain, and most of the famous temples are built on the mountain.
Therefore, many temples are adapted to local conditions, and most of the scenery is also from the mountains, but Tianyou Temple is on a flat land, so the trees and the like are all cultivated by manpower. In such a big place, there are so many trees to be planted, which is very impressive.
Lin Zhu and the others walked slowly into the mountain gate, because they arrived early, a monk with a small novice stepped forward to explain and guide them.
"It's the first time you've come, aren't you?" The monk saw that Lin Zhu was relatively unfamiliar with Tianyou Temple, so he asked.
"Yes," Lin Zhu nodded, "So I have to trouble Master to explain a thing or two." Under the leadership of the Zhike monk, Lin Zhu advanced the incense, and added fifty taels of sesame oil money to the merit box, so the Zhike monk was more polite to them and his party.
"The donor is polite, please go this way." Zhike monk took Lin Zhu and others to worship the big-bellied Maitreya Buddha in the Tianwang Palace, and Maitreya Buddha is Lin Zhu's favorite, she also wore a piece of Maitreya Buddha carved from jade around her neck in her previous life, so when she saw this Buddha, she happily added sesame oil money.
Because Lin Zhu got up relatively early and walked for such a long time, he asked the monk if there was a meditation room for rest.
The meditation rooms for pilgrims to rest in Tianyou Temple are limited, and the Lin family and the Wang family have already booked most of the meditation rooms, plus some people have also booked, so the remaining meditation rooms are relatively few. Fortunately, Lin Zhu arrived early, and she was more generous, so the monk also arranged a room for her.
After the monk arranged for Lin Zhu, he left before the time was too early to greet other pilgrims, but he still left a small novice to help Lin Zhu and others guide the way.
Lin Zhu and the others rested in the meditation room for a while, and they all felt that since they came here, they should worship the Buddha more and burn incense, so at the request of the excited Qian Xuehui and Minglu, Lin Zhu followed them to the major Buddhist halls.
Finally, before Lin Zhu was about to be tired and lay down, Qian Xuehui and Minglu finished worshipping, and the two of them came to the place where the lottery was drawn and asked for the hexagram with great interest, "Girl, you can also draw lots." Minglu and Qian Xuehui each drew a lot, and it seemed that they were both very happy.
"You can just smoke it, and I'll forget it." Lin Zhu didn't believe this, there were unpredictable variables in fate, otherwise she wouldn't be what she is now.
Lin Zhu stood aside and smiled at the happy appearance of the two listening to the monk's unsigning, and he was also full of smiles.
It's just that there are more and more people in the temple, and it's not good for them to stand there all the time, and it just so happens that someone will come to draw lots in the back, so Lin Zhu and the others came out.
"Aunt Qian, seeing that you are so happy, what good lottery did you draw?" Lin Zhu looked at Qian Xuehui, who was smiling and closing her mouth, and asked.
"Hehe, Master said that although my previous days were a little bumpy, with the help of noble people, the wishes in my heart will definitely come true." Qian Xuehui looked at Lin Zhu with a smile, the meaning was very obvious, Lin Zhu was her nobleman.
"Girl, me too, Master said that my life is good because I followed you." Minglu also looked at Lin Zhu with a grateful face.
The people who were sold have each suffered in one way or another, some can say it, some can't say it, and there is always a kind of uneasiness in the heart of the person who bought them back, after all, they are slaves to others, and their fate is all in the hands of others.
So all the people who were bought back by Lin Zhu are very grateful to Lin Zhu, they have never beaten and scolded, and the food they use is almost the same as that of ordinary people, and the monthly money they give is also a lot, plus Lin Zhu's things are really relatively small, and their lives are relatively simple, so they are almost the same as ordinary people except that they are not free.
Lin Zhu interrupted the words that the two of them had been thinking of thanking her, and took them around the temple to see if they could meet Dong Yuzhen or Wang Qingyan.
Dong Yuzhen's father, Dong Jisheng, has already come to the capital, so it is not particularly easy for Lin Zhu to meet her, after all, Dong Jisheng still has a grudge against Lin Zhu.
So Lin Zhu wanted to take this opportunity to catch up with Dong Yuzhen and talk about the recent situation.
Walking and walking, I saw a large group of people in front of me, and I entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Lin Zhu because he had already worshipped, although he was curious about whose house had such a big pomp, but he just stood outside and looked at it, and did not come forward.
Suddenly, there was a familiar figure inside, which caught Lin Zhu's eyes, and among several people with flowers, there was a figure wearing light blue brocade, which was one of the purposes of her visit, and that person was Dong Yuzhen.
Now that he saw it, Lin Zhu thought about getting closer, so that he could find a chance to say hello, and then the two of them found a place to talk. But before she could step into the main hall, she was stopped by a small novice.
"This benefactor, please come back later." The little novice gave a salute.
"Give a reason." Lin Zhu looked directly at Xiao Shami's gaze, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Well, this donor really doesn't hide it, there are Lin Shangshu's family members in front of him, because there are many people, so please come in later." Xiao Shami's words were peaceful, and he didn't mean to look down on Lin Zhu and them.
Lin Zhu nodded, took out a few silver bills from his purse, and stuffed them into Xiao Shami's hand, before saying, "There is a Miss Dong Yuzhen wearing light cyan clothes inside, who is my friend, please ask the little master to find a suitable opportunity and tell her that I will wait for her in the courtyard to the west." ”
Xiao Shami took the silver bill, "If the donor is there, the little monk can bring it, but the young lady will not go over..."
"Naturally, it has nothing to do with the little master." Lin Zhu understood the meaning of Xiao Shami's words.
After Lin Zhu said goodbye to Xiao Shami, he took Qian Xuehui and Minglu to the courtyard in the west.
The courtyard here seems to be specially prepared for pilgrims to watch, the flowers inside are very beautiful, such as jade magnolias, lilacs with attractive fragrance and the red and gorgeous begonias, Lin Zhu feels that this time the straight is not in vain, walking under these trees, the fragrant wind is bursting, which makes people feel refreshed.
On the other hand, Xiao Shami finally found a suitable opportunity and told Dong Yuzhen Lin Zhu's message, which surprised Dong Yuzhen, who had long been absent from worshipping the Buddha, and also handed Xiao Shami a few silver coins as a thank you.
"Mother, Sister Xiaozhu is here." Dong Yuzhen walked to Mrs. Lin's side and said quietly.
"Yes," Mrs. Lin was also delighted. "When you have a chance, you can go see her."
"Xie Lu, Xie Niang." Dong Yuzhen took Mrs. Lin's hand and said coquettishly.
Mrs. Lin took her and followed behind the team, and finally when Mrs. Lin was a little tired and asked the juniors to go around the temple, Mrs. Lin asked Mother Zhao to take Dong Yuzhen and Shui Tao to the courtyard to find Lin Zhu.
Two hours later, there was one more shift. (To be continued......)
