Chapter 459: Reluctantly Staying at Hanshan Temple
In the middle of winter, Ye Yu once again left the capital.
Compared with the trip to eastern Zhejiang, it is also winter, but it has no different meaning, at least this time he took the initiative to leave.
Ye Yu originally planned to take a group of family members to Fuzhou together, and then hold a grand wedding. But Hu Meier is pregnant and about to give birth, so this kind of bumpy move on the way can only be put aside for the time being.
On the official road leading to Fuzhou, a carriage moved forward slowly and rhythmically.
The carriage was very ordinary on the outside, but on the inside it was luxuriously furnished, at least in terms of mitigating the vibrations.
In the carriage, there was a small table in the center, and Ye Yu was chatting leisurely and flipping through a few scriptures.
Qiulan on the side put the brewed tea in the corner of the table, and then sat quietly next to it and waited.
"Young master, you are also a dignified Hou Ye now, you should have the Hou Ye's pedigree, why didn't you bring an entourage when you went to Fuzhou to take office?"
Qiulan's question made Ye Yu, who was reading quietly, slowly raise his head, and then asked with a smile: "Lan'er thinks that the husband is going to lead a team of armor soldiers to take office?" ”
"Of course, otherwise how can you reflect your majesty, young master! I've heard, young master, you are going to Fuzhou to clean up the rebels this time, if you don't deter that group of young people, it will be difficult for the young master to clean up in the future! ”
"Oh? Who did you learn these words from? Ye Yu didn't evaluate whether this was right or wrong, but poured a cup of tea and asked Qiulan rhetorically.
"Sister Mei'er said ......"
"She knows how to fight and kill, you don't have to take it seriously, I have already let Bailifeng and them take the first step, you can rest assured! When did your young master do something reckless? ”
Ye Yu saw that Qiulan was still apprehensive, so he gently lifted the curtains, looked at the scenery along the way, and said with a smile: "It's hard to come out for a walk, how can you let everyone disturb Yaxing?" ”
"Then the young master, this is a winter tour!"
"Winter outing?"
Ye Yu was stunned when he first heard these two words, and then he praised himself: "Well, I only often hear about youth travel, and now this winter trip is not bad in the middle of winter!" ”
The master and servant talked and laughed, and the carriage also stopped and stopped, and before they knew it, they came to Fengqiao Town, Shaoxing.
When I came to Fengqiao Town, it was getting dark.
I was going to enter the town to find an inn to stay, but this town is surprisingly weird.
Because as soon as it was nightfall, there was no one in the town to go out, and there was no one to hold the lamp!
Originally, Ye Yu thought that the people here were simple and simple, and they had the habit of resting at sunrise and sunset.
But when he was looking for an inn to stay, he heard a strange thing.
"Shopkeeper, passing by here, is there a guest room?"
"It's gone, let's go!"
Ye Yu finally woke up the shopkeeper of an inn, but in exchange for a conversation with each other through the door.
It seems that he Ye Yu is a flood beast, which makes the shopkeeper of the inn feel repulsed.
The reason why the word noisy is used is because Ye Yu has already gone to two of the three inns in the town, and these two are either silent for a long time, or they are urging them to leave through the doors and windows.
This is already the third one, so Ye Yu is bound to ask clearly.
"The shopkeeper is the one who opens the door to do business, so what is the reason for leaving the travelers out of the door?"
The shopkeeper in the room opened a crack in the door slightly, glanced at Ye Yu outside vigilantly, and then said with a slightly relaxed expression: "Didn't you say it, it's already full!" ”
"Full? Could it be that this night, the inns in the entire Maple Bridge Town were full? The shopkeeper, for such a reason, refuses to let people thousands of miles away, this is not the way of business......"
Ye Yu could see through the light in the crack of the door that there was a half-hundred-year-old man in the room, so his tone was a little soothed.
After asking this question, he seemed to be accustomed to this shopkeeper, and then waved his hand and said: "No matter what, the little old man will not let you stay, this son, you should find another place!" ”
Seeing this, the servant who drove wanted to get angry several times, but was immediately stopped by Ye Yu, because getting angry about many things can't solve the problem.
Seeing that the innkeeper was so insistent, Ye Yu was not reluctant: "You can leave here, but please ask the shopkeeper to tell me the reason!" ”
The appearance of such strange habits in Fengqiao Town really made Ye Yu feel weird, so he was eager to know the reason.
The innkeeper saw that Ye Yu's accent was not like that of a local, so he explained: "Childe doesn't know, Fengqiao Town has been haunted in the past two years, and several people have died, so after sunset, everyone is closed and no one goes out." ”
"Even visitors from outside the city are afraid of getting something unclean, so they don't let them out! Childe, little old man still advises you to leave as much as possible, so as not to encounter unclean things in the middle of the night! ”
As he spoke, the innkeeper poked his head out and pointed to the west, and said solemnly: "According to this, there is a Hanshan Temple not far away, and the son can go there for a while!" ”
After saying that, he hurriedly closed the door, and then the lights went out, as if he had returned to his previous silence.
"Hanshan Temple!?"
These three words were repeated in Ye Yu's mouth several times, because he remembered a poem by Zhang Ji in the Tang Dynasty.
"Young Master...... There can't really be a ghost......" Qiu Lan, who followed closely behind Ye Yu, naturally heard what the shopkeeper said clearly. It is precisely because of this that her thin body trembles a little.
"Ghosts?"
Qiu Lan naturally didn't have Ye Yu's calmness, but looked around vigilantly, her little hand tightly grabbed Ye Yu's sleeve, urging: "Young master, let's hurry up!" ”
"Well, go to Hanshan Temple!"
After Ye Yu was thoughtful, he pulled Qiulan into the carriage and went straight to the Hanshan Temple in Fengqiao Town.
The midwinter is cold and chilly, but the moonlit night and the bright sky are accompanied by smooth journeys.
By the time I came to Hanshan Temple, the temple gate had already been closed.
Hanshan Temple is a small temple, but the layout and facilities have a unique atmosphere, which may be the preference of literati and ink writers.
Entertaining Ye Yu was a middle-aged monk, this monk's Dharma name was Xuanjing, and he was dressed in clean monk clothes, giving people a sense of refreshment.
After introducing Ye Yu and the others into the wing, he recited the Buddha's verse and said, "Donor, please forgive me for the simplicity of our temple!" ”
"The master is polite, whether it is simple or not is just a form of virtual image, how can there be a lot of nonsense ...... below?"
"It's late at night, and the poor monk won't disturb the rest of the donors, please!"
"Please!"
After Master Xuanjing left, Qiu Lan, who was making the mattress in the room, suddenly spoke: "Young master, this monk is much younger and more handsome than the monk in the capital......
“……”
Hearing Qiulan's words, Ye Yu was speechless, what was this woman's mind thinking, no matter if Ye Yu wanted to break his brain, he couldn't keep up with their rhythm.
"It seems that women are no different from men, at first glance, they only value the good and bad of their skins, and the others are directly ignored......" Ye Yu sighed speechlessly before saying such a sentence.
