Chapter 905: Fate
In this bizarre temple, Ixuva was not sure who the man in front of her was. But she could already guess that this person was very likely to be the emperor of the Ming Kingdom.
Izuva followed the man out of the main hall where the Buddha statue was enshrined and into the courtyard inside. Occasionally, the man would turn his head and say something to her gently, which of course she did not understand at all.
She could only observe the man's demeanor and movements, so as to guess the other person's attitude and emotions. The man's calmness and kindness made Isseva feel that he seemed to have no malicious intent, and the inexplicable panic and tension in her heart were alleviated.
The Buddha "lived" in such a temple, and it was the first time Isuva had seen it. What's even more amazing is that the eyes of the Buddha here are half-open, and there is even an expression, and the statue of the Buddha is also wearing a lot of clothes, and it is not like the Buddha of Zhenla country.
Like the man in front of him, he was dressed tightly despite the heat. Purple robes up to the ankles, and cloth boots on the feet. The man was covered in a body with little skin exposed.
Isseva was tall, and she followed this man, but felt that she had become weak. Because he is very burly, there is a faint power between his throws. However, he was very calm and composed, and he didn't seem to have any superfluous movements, and his posture and demeanor were unhurried.
After a while, the man was at the door of a room, turned around and made a random gesture and said a word. Ixuda went into the house and sat down with him on a stool.
After the two sat opposite each other, they just looked at each other. Seeing the white lining of the man's neckline up to his neck, Izuva realized for a moment that the people here didn't seem to like exposing their bodies. When she saw that the man was looking at her chest, she also looked down at the soft silk, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't move, still straightening up, not wanting to show cowardice.
Perhaps the man also felt a little embarrassed to look at each other in silence like this, so he said something. Isuda couldn't even understand the short words, and certainly didn't know what they meant.
After the man finished speaking, Issuva thought about it and spoke in real Wax dialect. Anyway, he didn't understand, so Issuva spoke to her heart.
"I was coerced into going to the Ming army camp in Saigon Bay, and I had experienced a lot before. In retrospect, many things were very coincidental, as if they were destined to go there; As long as there is a slight mistake, there will be no such coincidence. It must be fate. ”
As soon as Izova spoke, she felt a lot of feelings, "If I am destined to go to Sai Kung Bay, then for what? What is the meaning of such a fatalistic arrangement? Later, a eunuch named Meng Ji invited me to come to the capital of the Ming Kingdom, and I thought about it all night and suddenly realized; The arrangement for me to go to the camp of the Ming army is to come to the capital of the Ming Kingdom. It's meant to be, and I can't go against it. ”
The man in front of him didn't understand at all, but he listened anyway, paying extra attention to Issuva's eyes.
"Uh-huh......" the man said.
The two of them fell silent again, and they both seemed to understand that words had no effect, and that they were better off their expressions and body movements.
Izova observed the man and thought he was very strange, probably because she had never seen anyone like this before.
It's not that he looks unusual, but his temperament and expression. His gaze was sharp, and there was a firm temperament between his eyebrows. He, like most Ming people, is very restrained and reserved; Most of the Zhenla people still have a bit of wild and natural demeanor, but the Ming people seem to be artificially carved things. The man in front of him is generally gentle and introverted, making people feel kind.
At the beginning of the battle of Saigon Bay, Isova did not see the battlefield with her own eyes, but she knew the whole process. Within two days, the Ming army successively defeated the naval and land armies of the Zhenla army, and An En, who had always been brave and good at fighting, was almost powerless. With such a fierce Ming army, why do these people look so docile? Itsuva is unimaginable.
But this kind of carving and gentleness made Isseva feel more at ease. Because of the wild nature, which means the instinct is casual, she has to think of the lewd eyes of the nephew of the palace minister, Nayer, and the experience of becoming a monk cannot tame his instincts.
The man stood up from the stool, made another motion, and walked out the door. He took a few steps and glanced at Issuva.
Izuda got up and followed him out. She guessed that maybe the man also felt that it was embarrassing to sit like this.
When I walked to the eaves, the sound of monks chanting scriptures came from behind the courtyard. Isuva couldn't understand the lyrics, but the rhythm of the melody made her feel indifferent and serene with the world. The intense emotions she had hidden in her heart, the complete opposite of the Sanskrit sounds, were entangled and upset her.
The man's voice interrupted her discomfort. He pointed to the temples on either side, as if to describe something.
Somehow, when Isuva heard his voice, she suddenly felt a little better. His voice was beautiful, calm and even, completely different from the Sanskrit sound of the monk's chanting. Although Isuva didn't understand the meaning, she was more comfortable with the tone.
Ishova slowly moved closer to hear him, and the two were almost walking side by side. The strange thing is that she can't communicate at all, but she quickly feels that the relationship between the two seems to be very familiar.
They gradually walked to the Buddha hall where they had just met. The man saluted her with his fists clenched and said something.
Seeing this, Issuva also saluted with her custom, thought for a moment and said, "Fortunately." ”
The man smiled again, then turned and strode out.
Ixuva was stunned. Because he walked so fast, she couldn't keep up unless she hurried to catch up.
Since she couldn't understand the man's words, she felt that he left very suddenly, and she was surprised for a while. Looking at his back, Ixova felt a faint sense of loss. Maybe it's because in this unfamiliar place, this man easily gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
She waited right here, guessing that someone would come and pick him up. Most of them were the white-looking round-faced eunuch, and the person who brought her was the eunuch.
Izuva looked up again at the statue of the Buddha, whose eyes were half-open and his expression was subtle. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the demeanor of the Buddha Lord had some similarity with the Ming people, as if she had been influenced by the Ming people after coming here.
I don't know if the Buddha of the Ming Kingdom also has the theory of karma? Thinking of this, Izuda knelt down on the grass futon in front of her, folded her hands, closed her eyes and prayed reverently.
When she opened her eyes and got up, she found a eunuch standing behind her, looking at her curiously. But this person is no longer the fat white eunuch he was before.
Issuva frowned and asked, "Are you the one sent by the eunuch from earlier?" ”
The eunuch looked dazed, and said a few words, then shook his head and continued to speak, and then gestured to invite her out.
Neither of them understood the other. However, the population of the capital of the Ming Kingdom is very large, and it seems to be orderly and not chaotic, and Issuva heard that eunuchs are only available in the palace, so she endured the lingering vigilance in her heart and followed the eunuchs out.
It wasn't until she returned to her residence, the huge palace courtyard (the old palace of the Han King) where she had lived a few days ago, that she let go of the worries and fears in her heart.
…… Zhu Gaoxu has gone to Ma Enhui's mansion by Yanque Lake. The carriage drove into the mansion before stopping, he got out of the car, and immediately saw the eunuch Cao Fu standing beside him.
After taking a few steps forward, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Cao Fu. Cao Fu immediately trotted up with a flattering smile on his face.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I think of one thing, you figured out the style of clothing worn by the real woman, and found someone to make a few clothes, so that Issuva could wear the clothes of her own country." The skirt has to be worn by Han women, and it is really peculiar to wear it on the women of the foreign domain. ”
Cao Fu hurriedly said: "The slave and maid obey the order, and they will definitely do it according to the emperor's wishes." ”
Zhu Gaoxu walked forward for a while, and soon saw the favor that came to greet him. It just so happened that Enhui was also wearing a plain skirt, her appearance and demeanor matched it, and she was a blessing, and it looked much more natural.
The two walked through the bamboo forest that was getting stronger and stronger, and Zhu Gaoxu said apologetically: "I haven't come to see you for a few days, how are you doing?" ”
Enhui smiled, with a quiet tolerance and a little helplessness in her smile, she said softly: "It's a good life, and when the saint came up, it was a surprise." ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
Enhui muttered again: "The concubine occasionally thinks of those monks, and it is precisely because they can let go of the obsession of the world, starting a family, becoming famous, and so on; gave up some, but fell into the world, and there was a lot less suffering and suffering. ”
"Seems to make some sense." Zhu Gaoxu said. He remembered Ixuva he had just met, and he couldn't help but say, "People who are born to believe in Buddhism may still be unable to give up their enmity and entangled in obsession; And the people of the great-mother Yi world can see it clearly. ”
Enhui casually asked, "Who is a natural believer?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and smiled: "Just say it casually." ”
She didn't ask any more questions.
The two walked slowly, and Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that the words of favor just now were interesting.
Zhu Gaoxu guessed that Enhui wanted to return to the palace; She had also hinted at it, but never said it explicitly. She may be well aware of the emperor's mentality: the emperor may be willing to give, but she can't take the initiative to ask for it.
And Zhu Gaoxu considered various reasons, and did not meet her wish for a long time. Enhui probably realized that Zhu Gaoxu had a hard time, so she said something else just now...... When he first heard it, Zhu Gaoxu was very comfortable.
Eun didn't want him to be embarrassed and stressed when facing her.
Zhu Gaoxu said meaningfully: "Enhui is really an empathetic person. ”
Grace said softly: "If everything can be as people want, how can the world be like this?" ”
The antique attic in front is already in sight, the pavilion hanging on the top of the mountain, the plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum planted around, and the hostess wearing Hanfu here is commensurate, it is the beautiful scenery.
And the open Yanque Lake in the distance makes all the elegant and beautiful things a little more open and open-minded.
