Chapter 35: No Calendar in the Mountains

In fact, Scarlet Cloud was not wrong, and Shen Yuan was not really asleep. Guanying is so out of line, sooner or later it will be bad, whether Mo Yu Yuanyuan is a godly person, I don't want to deal with her for the time being, I can only make preparations with both hands, and arrange the next mid-autumn Xiao as soon as possible, in case of future emergencies.

Shen Yuan lay on his side, his eyes fixed on the string of peach tourmaline beads hanging at the head of the bed. The pearls are strung into a double chain, and a jade Ruyi button is knotted, and the tourmaline that falls at the bottom is made into a melon-like shape with four corners, which looks bright and bright in the daytime, as if melting into ten thousand peach blossoms.

The pink tourmaline is very beautiful and rare, and when Shen Yuan celebrated his birthday last year, Shen Han specially sent it back from the northwest. Shen Yuan looked at it for a while, and suddenly remembered that the purse on Qiu Xiao's body today was also this peach-colored, no wonder at first glance, he felt a little eye-catching, a little red in the elegance, but it matched that outfit very well.

It was only five watches the next day, and the group of Leng Xiangge had already taken the car on the road. When Shen Yuan went downstairs, it was Sheng Qiuxiao waiting in the front hall, and asked her to go to the side courtyard to walk through the side door with a smile: "Madame has instructed, there are many people at the front door, and Miss is not easy for people to see." ”

Qiu Xiao is still dressed yesterday, only the golden hairpin is gone, and a pair of thin beaded butterfly hairpins are changed, which are intertwined with the rice bead pendant on the ear. Shen Yuan was also dressed very plainly, with a red and dyed silk and linen dress, the skirt and the cuffs of the shirt were embroidered with butterfly play patterns of the same color, combing low-key and tactful little Qing'e buns, and a glass lotus bell tassel hairpin on the sideburns.

There were two carriages parked outside the side door, Mo Yu Mandarin was already waiting in the blue curtain cart in front, Shui Zhi waited outside, helped Shen Yuan into the car, and led Qiu Xiao into the car with Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud.

Mo Yuan was wearing a jasmine yellow placket, holding a string of grimace yellow pears in her hand and coiling around, and when she saw Shen Yuan coming in, she reached out and helped her to sit down beside her. Shen Yuan saw it clearly, the string of beads became more and more golden and buttery, and it could be seen that the ink mandarin duck was often played with in his hand.

It was originally the collection of the old man Moqing, and after the old man died, it was kept by the Moyu Mandarin Duck. When Shen Yuan was young, he was very afraid of that thing, and he always felt that the patterns on it were terrifying, so he kept it and rarely took it out. Later, Shen Yuan slowly grew up and understood that it was just a string of wooden lumps, and it was a thought of the Mo Yu family. One day, she took the initiative to ask her adoptive mother where her grandfather's string of beads had gone, and the grimace Huanghuali, who had been sealed in the dust for many years, was able to see the light of day again.

After a short period of coolness in the early morning, the weather in early July was as hot as yesterday, and the heat was stuffy, and there was no wind to penetrate. Mo Yuyuan got out of the car first, turned around to pick up Shen Yuan, and the people in the car behind also followed.

"How do you feel? Can you walk up? Mo Yu looked at the mountain in front of him, turned his head to observe Shen Yuan's face, pulled her over and asked quietly with concern.

"Well, I'm fine." Shen Yuan nodded. Jade Spot Mountain is not high, and she learned early in the morning that the Immortal Temple is only halfway up the mountain, and there is no problem in walking up.

The scenery of Yubian Mountain is very good, the incense is also prosperous, and there is no shortage of pilgrims going up the mountain in such a hot summer. Mo Yu Mandarin is an elder, but she can walk easily, but Qiu Xiao and the three maids are surrounded by Shen Yuan, for fear that she will lose her strength and go down the mountain. Pedestrians passing by and seeing it, it is inevitable that they will not shake their heads for this young and sick girl.

The road up the mountain is really not difficult, the stone steps are still flat, and the slope is not steep, but all this is for the people on foot, when the ink mandarin duck knelt on the concept of immortality, I don't know how much suffering he endured. Shen Yuan felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but he only made people feel that he wanted her to leave her mother at a young age, and he wanted to play a bright play, giving her an adoptive mother who was better than her mother.

She tried not to imagine what she would be like if she hadn't met Mo Yu Mandarin Duck that year. If you know that it won't be a good thing, you don't have to worry about it...... Shen Yuan quickly got rid of distracting thoughts and carefully walked with the corner of his skirt. The road ahead is still very long, it seems to be smooth and smooth, but in fact, there are hidden dangers in every corner and corner, if you want to get to the place you want safely, you can only step on it step by step, walk forward steadily, and you can't turn back distractedly, otherwise, if you are not careful, your feet are slippery, and you may fall headlong.

Sheng Qiuxiao seemed to have a lot of feelings about this place, and he bowed his head all the way, saying few words, and was very pious. Until she entered the mountain gate hall, her expression was extremely solemn and solemn, and even made Shen Yuan look a little trance.

Shen Yuan didn't know what Sheng Qiuxiao was thinking, only saw her stop outside the mountain gate, looking up at the plaque slightly, her face was full of sadness, her eyes were faintly filled with tears, her lips trembled, her body was stiff, and she didn't dare to cross the threshold. At this time, Mo Yu Mandarin had already entered the courtyard, Shen Yuan knew that there was no delay, so he motioned for Shui Zhi to push Qiu Xiao, and he took the lead in stepping through the mountain gate.

"Don't be stunned, girl, hurry in." Shui Zhi's voice sounded behind him, followed by Qiu Shino, who had just woken up from a dream. The group soon gathered together again, led by Mo Yu Yuan into the Sanguan Palace, and Shui Zhi presented a basket of fruit and flowers. At this time, there was no one in the temple to worship, so there was no need to wait.

Mo Yu Yuan, headed by Mo Yuyuan, stepped forward to offer incense to the Emperor of Sanguan, and the rest of the people followed him, bowing with their hands together. Xiaodaotong had already laid out the futon, Mo Yu Mandarin Yuan was first, Shen Yuan and Qiu Xiao followed him, and the three maids followed, and they completed the three salutes and nine kowtows together.

The weather was too hot, and the whole set of rituals was already tiring, Shen Yuan was already dripping with sweat beads on his forehead, and he was a little unsteady when he got up, and the tassels on the side of the bun rang with silver light, making a crisp sound. Shui Zhi was the closest, and he quickly grabbed the crook of her arm. The ink mandarin duck then picked it up and supported it on the other side, and Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud were squeezed outside.

Mo Yuyuan checked carefully, Shen Yuan's face was acceptable, so she softly told everyone not to worry, don't make noise in the hall, and when she left the palace gate, she was the first to ask in a loud voice.

"Yuan'er, how are you? Dizzy or not? Can it hold up? Would you like to take a break? ”

There is a blessing tree in the courtyard, the branches and leaves are sparse and want to towering into the clouds, there are stone tables and stone benches under the tree, and the group rests here temporarily. Mo Yu took out a silk handkerchief, wiped the sweat beads on Shen Yuan's forehead little by little, and instructed Shui Zhi to go to the side hall and ask Xiao Daotong to find some tea.

Fortunately, Guanzhong always prepares heat-dissipating medicinal tea, decoction water with bamboo leaves, wheat winter, and Huoxiang, and takes it to detoxify and relieve fever. Shen Yuan used half a bowl on his adoptive mother's hand, the flushing on his face gradually receded, and his breath became a lot smoother: "Don't worry, it's just the first time I've done such a big gift, my body is not angry, and I have suffered from the heat, and now I have rested, so I don't have to be anxious." ”
