Xu Tinghe came to Donglin Temple and went directly to see Mrs. Xu.

Night has already fallen, there is no moon in the sky, but the sky is full of stars, like pearls embellished on the deep blue velvet, bright and beautiful.

There was a bamboo recliner in the room, and Biyun moved the recliner to the place near the door in the bright room, so that Xu Cancan could lie down and rest.

The curtain hanging on the door of the bright room had been rolled up, and Xu Cancan looked at the bright stars in the sky and remembered his previous life. At that time, although she lived in the suburbs of a big city, she had never seen such a sky full of stars, and the most common thing was that there were a few sparse stars hanging in the sky at night.

The smog has long since ruined everything that was originally pure.

After crossing over, Xu Cancan never thought about the things in his previous life, because he didn't have any warm memories in his previous life, and when he thought about it occasionally, it was all unbearable cold memories.

In this life, she has always been glad that she has a loving father and a well-behaved brother.

However, now she felt a similar indifference to her previous life.

When she was in distress, her grandmother sat in the car and refused to rescue, and Xu Sen only saved Xu Yitong and threw her there.

But Fu Yuchen, who had only been around for a few faces, saved her.

Xu Cancan judged from the familiar Danfeng eyes that it was Fu Yuchen.

She felt that it must be Fu Yuchen.

There is a big river behind Donglin Temple, and the wind blowing from the river blows away the heat and brings coolness. Xu Cancan closed her eyes in the night breeze, and at this moment she realized: it was not her who should feel guilty, and it was not she who made mistakes! She needs to be stronger and smarter so that she can protect herself!

Hongyun soon came over to call Xu Cancan.

Xu Cancan tidied up his makeup a little, and then walked towards the main hall with Biyun.

When they arrived at the hall, Hongyun pulled Biyun and Fanyun to stay in the porch outside the door, and Xu Cancan walked in alone.

Of course, the hall of the small guest house of the temple is simple, look up and face in, there is no couch in the middle of the room, there is only a poplar Eight Immortals table, and there is a high lean on each side of the Eight Immortals Table - Xu Tinghe sits on the left, and Mrs. Xu sits on the right.

There were two candlesticks on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the wind came in through the door, blowing the candle flames in all directions, causing the room to flicker and dark. Next to the candlestick is a long flat wooden box with a stack of paper tickets pressed under it.

Xu Cancan's eyes were very good, and when he saw a bluegrass carved on the wooden box, he immediately recognized that it was the set of jade head that the eldest lady took over and wore on her.

She lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold into the hall.

Xu Cancan saluted Mrs. Xu first: "I've seen the old lady!" After going through this incident, she will no longer whitewash the peace and pretend to be affectionate and call her the old man's "grandmother"!

The flickering candle flame made Mrs. Xu's thin face flicker, which was very terrifying. She was pouting and not speaking, looking very unhappy.

Xu Cancan no longer looked at her, but turned to Xu Tinghe and saluted Xu Tinghe: "Say hello to uncle." ”

Xu Tinghe looked at Xu Cancan with a smile: "Cancan, you were frightened today!" ”

Xu Cancan didn't speak, but just tried the corner of her eye with the handkerchief in her hand, and the peppermint oil on the handkerchief made her eyes immediately burst into tears.

Xu Tinghe saw Xu Cancan crying, and hurriedly comforted him: "Cancan, your father and mother will arrive in Bianjing in two or three days with Yichun!" ”

When Xu Cancan heard this, he didn't even pretend to be wronged, and looked at him in surprise: "Uncle, my father and mother are really coming?" ”

Xu Tinghe, who had always been calm, saw that his niece, who had always been calm, also showed the appearance of a child when she heard the news of her parents and brothers, and couldn't help but smile: "That's natural." ”

He reached out and picked up the things on the table and handed them to Xu Cancan: "This is a little bit of your aunt and my heart!" ”

Xu Cancan did not pretend to refuse, took the head box and silver ticket, and hurriedly bowed for fear that the uncle would smell the smell of his mint oil, and went down. She is like a newborn baby in front of this old fox uncle, and it is better to be honest than to be clever and self-defeating.

Xu Tinghe thought that his niece was a little overwhelmed when he heard the news of his parents, so he didn't care when he saw her leave in a hurry. Seeing Xu Cancan leaving, he said to his mother with a straight face: "Mother, Cancan's future is limitless!" ”

He saw that his mother pursed his lips and disagreed, so he said: "The saint likes such an innocent, pure and beautiful girl the most, if she enters the palace, if she has a child, our Xu family will ......"

Xu Tinghe didn't say anything further, and looked at his mother with a smile in his eyes.

Mrs. Xu doted on this son the most, and she couldn't see her son pleading, so she said: "I know the way!" Seeing that his son was a little tired, he said, "Tinghe, let people eat?" ”

Xu Tinghe nodded.

Xu Cancan took Biyun back to the wing room where he lived, and handed the head box to Biyun: "Put it away first!" ”

She counted the silver tickets and found a total of two hundred taels. In this era when you can buy a little maid for four taels of silver, this is a lot of wealth! When I was in college, Du Fu was taught in ancient literature class, and Xu Cancan kept wondering why Du Fu was so miserable. She thinks it's because Du Fu has no money and won't make money! At that time, she vowed: she must earn money well, and only with an economic foundation can she live a more dignified life!

Xu Cancan handed the silver ticket to Biyun and put it away.

When she was cleaned up, Biyun came over and asked her if she wanted to order food.

After going through so much, Xu Cancan had lost his appetite, so he said: "You go to the canteen to eat by yourself, just bring me half a watermelon when you come back after eating!" ”

Biyun left, and Xu Cancan took out the notes he made during class and looked at them by candlelight. She is a diligent student who believes that diligence can make up for her shortcomings, and that learning a little more – even if it's a technique – is always useful!

When Biyun came back, Xu Cancan's eyes were already a little tired, she put away the book, picked up the cut watermelon and ate it.

There were a total of twelve watermelons, Biyun only ate two, and the rest were all eaten by Xu Cancan.

In the middle of the night, Xu Cancan woke up with urine.

After she couldn't sleep, she put on her shirt and opened the window to look out.

When she came, she had something in her heart, and she didn't pay attention to the scenery in the yard at all, only to find that under the starry sky, there was a bamboo forest in the yard, and the night wind blew, and the bamboo forest made a rustling sound.

Such a starry night calmed her heart.

After standing in front of the window for a while, Xu Cancan closed the window and went back to bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xu Cancan was woken up by the sound of talking, she closed her eyes and lay on the bed, quietly listening to the sound coming from the bright room.

"It's very lively outside early in the morning, I just went out to take a look, and I heard that it was the son of the Dingguo Mansion who came to burn incense and pray for the Duchess of Guo!" It was the voice of the little maid in the old lady's house.

"Shhhh Be quiet! "It's Biyun's voice.

"Hey, hey!" Fan Yun lowered his voice, "The old man rode back to the city before dawn, why haven't you girls woken up yet?" ”

After a burst of footsteps, there was no sound in the bright room.

Xu Cancan's sleepiness was swept away, she immediately sat up, took off the bandeau and dirty pants on her body, and took off the dress that Biyun had ironed in advance last night on the hanger.

Although Biyun was sitting on a chair outside the door and talking, he had been paying attention to the movement in the room. Hearing footsteps in the house, she hurriedly walked in.

Xu Cancan grabbed her, put his mouth to her ear and whispered: "You go and pry Fan Yun and say the news she said just now!" "Xu Yilian and Xu Yitong live in two dark rooms in the East Wing, as long as the Liujin Zhilu who is waiting for Xu Yitong tells the news that the prince of Dingguo burns incense and repays his wishes, Xu Yitong will definitely go to the old lady to ask for Donglin Temple.

When Biyun heard this, his eyes widened, and he nodded and walked out.

When helping Xu Cancan comb his hair, Biyun said in a low voice: "Just now I led Fan Yun to talk about it, Fan Yun's voice was a little loud, the window of the east wing on the opposite side was opened, and I saw Liuying next to the third girl pretending to pack up things; The windows of the four girls' rooms were also opened, but no one was in sight! ”

Xu Cancan nodded, and glanced at Biyun with a smile: "Clever girl!" ”

Biyun also smiled, and a pair of dimples the size of rice grains appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Xu Cancan couldn't help laughing and said: "Biyun is a good-looking girl, if I have the ability in the future, I will definitely find a good future for you and find a good husband!" ”

Biyun's face suddenly turned red: "The girl is laughing at the slave again!" ”

As Xu Cancan expected, when the three sisters went to the main hall where the old lady lived for breakfast, Xu Yitong really pleaded with the old lady: "Grandmother, the weather is very good today, and my granddaughter wants to go to the Donglin Temple Buddha Hall to pray for your old man!" ”

Xu Cancan, who was sitting on a chair against the west wall, heard the words and deliberately looked outside: On a gloomy and hot day, it can also be said that "the weather is good"?

When Mrs. Xu heard that she was praying for her, she smiled and said, "Wait a minute, let Xu Sen go to the abbot of Donglin Temple to arrange the affairs of the Qing people!" ”

Xu Yitong said with a smile: "Grandmother, I heard that the girl from the Dingguo Mansion is here, I'm afraid that I have already cleared the idle people!" She changed the "childe" of the Dingguo Mansion to "girl".

Old Mrs. Xu nodded: "Since the girls from the Guogong Mansion are here, they must have been cleared," she looked at Xu Yilian and Xu Cancan, who were sitting side by side, again: "You sisters should go too, it's rare to be loose and loose!" ”

Xu Yilian and Xu Cancan both got up and squatted: "Yes, grandmother!" ”

Out of the hall, Xu Cancan looked up at the sky.

Last night was full of stars, why is it cloudy today? She was about to tell Biyun to go back and get the umbrella, but Xu Yitong said, "So close, what are you afraid of?" Let's go! ”

Xu Cancan had no choice but to follow.

Donglin Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, famous for a thousand-year-old Bodhi tree and two eight-hundred-year-old osmanthus trees growing in the temple. Donglin Temple is a long strip of eight courtyards connected by a verandah on the west side. Xu Cancan and the small guest house where they live have another small door connected to the temple, Xu Yitong ordered Liujin to inquire, and there were soldiers brought by Fu Gongzi of the Guogong Mansion outside the temple gate, so she pulled Xu Yilian and Xu Cancan not to go to the temple gate, but directly let people open the lock of the small door and enter the Donglin Temple directly from the small door.

The ground of the first courtyard of Donglin Temple is paved with green bricks, planted with pine trees, the courtyard is lush and very quiet, only the copper incense burner in front of the main hall is full of smoke, and the smell of sandalwood is filled.

The main hall is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha.

Probably because the Dingguo Mansion has indeed cleared people, except for the six masters and servants of the Xu Mansion in the courtyard, there are no other outsiders, and there are no people from the Dingguo Mansion.

Xu Yilian entered the main hall, and after kneeling and praying, she took the broken silver from the maid's hand and put it into the incense box herself.

Xu Cancan lined up behind her, she threw two coins of broken silver into the incense box, and she felt that she had invested a lot of money in the incense, so she kowtowed sincerely and prayed, praying for the gods and Buddhas to bless her family.

On the east side of the third courtyard, there is a temple of Guanyin, Xu Yilian and Xu Yitong are reluctant to enter, but the little monk who followed on the side also said vigorously: "Amitabha, since the donor has come to incense, he can't be separated from the Bodhisattva!" ”

Xu Yitong wanted to bully Xu Cancan, and saw that Xu Cancan was looking at the iron horse hanging under the eaves of the palace, so he took advantage of Xu Cancan's inattention and pushed Cancan violently.

Xu Cancan was caught off guard, and his body fell towards the threshold of the temple gate.

Biyun followed behind, and when he saw what happened, he squeezed over, but he didn't know that it was too late. At this moment, Xu Cancan was still thinking: Do you want to give your life in this temple and cross again?
