Chapter 185
In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is another year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
On March 15, Qian Feifei came to Sanyuan Back Street to ask Lin Wan to go to Chongfu Temple on March 18 to make incense.
"How did Madame think of going to incense now? Could it be that you want to see the peach blossoms yourself, and encourage your mother to go to Chongfu Temple in advance to make incense. Lin Wan raised her eyebrows at Qian Feifei.
The eighth day of the fourth month is the Buddha's birthday, and legend has it that the first pillar of incense on that day is the most effective.
It is rumored that before Master Huineng came to Chongfu Temple to preside, the noblewomen of Fucheng in order to grab the first pillar of incense on the Buddha's birthday, almost every year on this day, there will be a scuffle in front of the mountain gate of Chongfu Temple, although it will not cause people to die, but there is also a phenomenon of seeing blood from time to time.
It was not until Master Huineng, who was born in the capital Huangjue Temple, became the abbot that he set new rules based on the experience of Huangjue Temple to prevent the continuation of such incidents.
Listening to Lin Wan's words, Qian Feifei rolled her eyes at Lin Wan a little indecently, pretended to be angry and patted Lin Wan, and pouted, "You dead girl!" Could it be that I can only play, so I can't sincerely pray for my brother?! ”
Qian Tongzhi's eldest son, Qian Feifei's eldest brother, 16-year-old Qian Yingjun this year, returned to the capital at the end of last year to start his imperial examination.
"Well, Sister Feifei is the most sincere! By the way, did your eldest brother also pass the county exam? Lin Wan dodged Qian Feifei and slapped her little hand, suddenly thought of a possibility, looked at Qian Feifei and asked.
Qian Feifei smiled and nodded: "I just received the news yesterday, my eldest brother is the head of the case!" ”
"Congratulations!" Lin Wan congratulated herself.
"Rejoice and rejoice, but if I want to say your second brother, third brother, especially your third brother, you should congratulate." After speaking, as if she had thought of something, Qian Feifei looked left and right a little bit, and that appearance made Lin Wan a little speechless.
However, Qian Feifei's words, Lin Wanda agreed with it in her heart.
It's not that she looks down on Qian Yingjun, but she didn't expect Ye Shen to also apply for this year's county exam, and passed the county exam with good results, and now she is preparing for the government exam in mid-April with Ye Zhan!
Originally, Ji Kang just asked Ye Zhan to try, but he didn't expect Ye Shen to secretly sign up, and everyone didn't know about it until he entered the exam.
As a result, Ye Shen not only passed the county test once, but also ranked only two places lower than Ye Zhan, Ye Zhan was the fifth place in the county test in Beixi County.
The brothers passed the county exam for the first time, although Ye Shen's results were not as good as Ye Zhan's, the sensation caused was far better than Ye Zhan's, and even overshadowed the case.
Father Ye was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, but after he calmed down, he was worried that the seedlings would grow, and he would end up "hurting Zhongyong", so he specially rushed to Fucheng to discuss with Ji Kang, intending to prevent Ye Shen from participating in this year's government examination and let him end up in a few years.
Ye Shen argued on the basis of reason, and in the end, Ye Lao Dad and Ji Kang were persuaded by Ye Shen and no longer objected to Ye Shen continuing to participate in the government examination in mid-April, but there was a saying that if Ye Shen's house test results could not enter the top ten, they would not be able to continue to participate in the hospital examination at the end of July.
Ye Shen nodded without thinking, which made Father Ye both surprised and helpless, remembering Master Huijue's criticism a few years ago, but full of expectations for a miracle to happen.
It had already been determined that Ye Shen was a reborn person, and Lin Wan was sure that Ye Shen would be able to achieve his goal, but he was a little puzzled why Ye Shen was in a hurry to take the exam.
When Ye Zhan went to Beixi County to register, Ye Shen obviously had no intention of taking the exam.
No one knows when Ye Shen went to report his name.
I only remember that after Mao Yanqiu and his wife recognized Lin Wan, Ye Shen once went to Chiba Town alone, saying that it was a former gathering of classmates.
When Ye Shen entered the venue, Lin Wan reacted, presumably the gathering of classmates was fake, and it was true to go to Beixi County to sign up.
However, to successfully participate in the county exam, it is not just as simple as signing up for a name, I really don't know how Ye Shen did it.
"By the way, Wanwan, do you know how old Enko's champion is this year?" Qian Feifei suddenly remembered another news that came with the letter.
Lin Wan had no source in this regard, so she could only sit and wait for Qian Feifei's news.
It's just that the champion came out so quickly, which surprised Lin Wan.
Don't they all say that the champion is determined by the emperor after the palace test? It's only mid-March, and Enke's champion has actually reached Qingzhou Mansion?!
"Xindi pays attention to efficiency, of course, because this time it is Enke, the meeting test and the palace test are almost connected. The champion of this branch is from Zhennanhou Mansion, and he is only eighteen years old this year, by the way, and ah, the champion's father was also the champion fifteen years ago! One door and two champions! Qian Feifei relieved Lin Wan's doubts, and a few words revealed a lot of information and it was quite exciting.
Lin Wan couldn't help but praise the helmsman of Zhennan Hou Mansion in her heart.
It is said that the Hou Men are very gentle, but this Zhennan Hou Mansion has cultivated two generations of champions from father and son in just fifteen years, which is really good!
Regardless of whether Qian Feifei really went to Chongfu Temple to pray for Qian Yingjun and make incense, or for the peach blossoms on the half slope of the mountain behind Chongfu Temple, Lin Wan readily agreed.
In almost a month, Ye Zhan and Ye Shen will also participate in the courtyard of Qingzhou Mansion, go to give them incense and pray for blessings, and then ask for a peace charm, even if it is useless, it is good to comfort them in their hearts.
Lin Wan also hasn't been to Chongfu Temple for a few days, and the last time she went to Chongfu Temple was because Master Huineng was sick, Lin Wan went to visit.
Although the recent news is that Master Huineng is still in good health, it is time to pay a visit.
On the eighteenth day, they set off from Fucheng early in the morning, although there were many pilgrims and tourists who came to Chongfu Temple to enter the incense and watch the peach blossoms, but Lin Wan and others still arrived at Chongfu Temple very smoothly.
As soon as I arrived in front of the mountain gate of Chongfuji Temple, I saw Wutong standing in front of the mountain gate.
In the end, he was a year older, Wutong was obviously much more stable than before, and seeing that Lin Wan no longer rushed over to hold his hand as before, but looked at Lin Wan with his hands folded and smiled.
Because of the peach blossoms in the back mountain, the pilgrims of Chongfu Temple are like clouds, there are many monks in front of the mountain gate, and Wutong is one of today's monks.
Originally, it was not the turn of a young monk like Mrs. Qian to be a guest monk like Wutong, but the senior brothers all knew that Wutong and Lin Wan had a good relationship, and they also saw that Lin Wan and Mrs. Qian were in the same line, but they handed over the errand of leading Mrs. Qian to Wutong.
"Wan ...... The donor is praying for the two Ye donors, and the little monk hasn't congratulated the donor yet! When Mrs. Qian and Qian Feifei entered the main hall, Wutong whispered.
"Thank you, Brother Wutong." Lin Wan still used the name she called Wutong when she lived temporarily in Chongfu Temple, which made Wutong's eyes light up.
At this time, Qian Feifei turned around to greet Lin Wan, and someone came behind him, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble to Lin Wan, Wutong folded his hands and bowed to Lin Wan and retreated.
After offering incense to the Buddha and kowtowing, Qian Feifei began to be a little absent-minded.
Mrs. Qian noticed Qian Feifei's absent-mindedness, but she did not force her to follow her to listen to the Buddhist scriptures, so she simply sent the two little girls to the back mountain to see the peach blossoms, but repeatedly told the accompanying maids and guards to be careful of the safety of the two little girls.
Qian Feifei has been coming to Qingzhou Mansion with her father and mother for almost six years, and she has followed Mrs. Qian to Chongfu Temple to enjoy the incense and flowers, but the road that Lin Wan took everyone today was something she had never walked before, so she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Wanwan, are you sure you can go to the back mountain to see the peach blossoms from here?" ”
"Sister Feifei, don't worry, it's not only close to this side, but there are still few people. If you don't see the wall, you can see the peach grove when you turn around. Lin Wan pointed to a gable in front of her and smiled.
Seeing that Qian Feifei still seemed to believe it, Lin Wan smiled and continued: "Sister Feifei will not forget that Wanwan lived in Chongfu Temple for two whole months, and Wanwan's favorite thing at that time was to come to Houshan. ”
It's just that at that time, Lin Wan came to the back mountain not to see the peach blossoms, but to sit under the plum tree on a high place and watch the bustle and people coming and going under the mountain.
Qian Feifei raised her hand and slapped her forehead, how could she forget Lin Wan's experience!
Turning the corner, the eyes suddenly lit up, and the peach blossoms all over the mountain were in front of me.
Qian Feifei couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful! ”
It is indeed very beautiful, if there are no two men who suddenly appear, it can be said to be perfect!
