Chapter 354: Yuelao Temple

That night, it rained in the suburbs of Beijing.

Gu Qinghuan was lying on the bed listening to the sound of rain outside, and couldn't help but be a little worried about the weather in Ming'er.

But maybe I was tired from playing all day, and before I had time to think about it, I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, it was already dawn.

Although the sun did not come out of the weather outside, it was a cloudy day without rain.

"Fu Jin is awake?"

Ah Shuang came in with steaming water, put the face towel in the handkerchief, and said, "The slave is still pondering, the hour is almost up, and it is just right to wake you up." ”

"Aren't you and Miss Fucha going to the Yuelao Temple today? Everything is ready. If you go early, you can come back in time for lunch. ”

Gu Qinghuan and Fu Chaxue went to the Yuelao Temple and didn't plan to stay too long. I have to come back before noon for lunch, and then go down and go somewhere else.

Then, I will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow.

In the early winter, I heard that the first child of the prince's side Fujin Da Guerjia clan was about to turn one year old. Although she is a daughter, as the eldest daughter of the crown prince, Yuqing Palace seems to have to deal with it.

At the same time, it was also the twentieth birthday of the Great Guerjia clan, and she sent invitations to the nobles of various mansions, and the emperor's brother Fujin was also invited.

Fu Chaxue and Gu Qinghuan both understood it, so they naturally wanted to go.

All the way to the Yuelao Temple, although there were a little bumps on the way, but it was quite smooth. When we arrived at the bottom of the mountain, it was just over a quarter of an hour later.

The sky was still a little overcast, and dark clouds could be seen in the distance.

"Let's hurry up."

Fuchaxue pointed to the dark clouds in the distance and said, "It's not good if it rains." ”

"Uh-huh." Gu Qinghuan also had this in mind, and immediately went up the mountain without saying a word.

The Yuelao Temple here is said to have existed since the time of the previous dynasty. At that time, the incense was at its peak, and even Fayuan Temple couldn't catch up.

Of course, Buddhist temples are different in the end. In addition to marriage, there are many devout believers who can find solace in their souls there.

Over time, fewer people came to the old temple this month.

All the way up the mountain, there is a lot of moss on the steps. The red ropes and wooden signs hanging from the big banyan tree on the side look like some of them have also decayed, and it is true that no one has been here for a long time.

"It's really a deserted place..."

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, and replied: "It's okay like this, it's pure." ”

However, as soon as the words fell, the sound of sweeping the floor was vaguely heard in front of me. Gu Qinghuan and Fu Chaxue glanced at each other, and when they walked up, they found that it was an old man with gray hair, sweeping the floor.

Judging by his attire, he doesn't look like those monks in the monastery. Besides, this is just a simple temple, and there should be no monks.

He looked, more like someone who lived nearby.

"Old man, why are you sweeping the floor here?"

Fu Chaxue was very curious, and couldn't help but step forward to ask.

When the old man saw the two lovely little girls coming, he immediately showed a kind smile and explained, "Every time it rains, I come over to clean up the fallen leaves." ”

"Little girl, are you two also here to ask for marriage?"

Fucha Xueqiao's face flushed, and she responded, "Yes." It's just, old man, why are you sweeping the floor here? ”

"It's nothing." When the old man heard this, he put the broom beside him, leaned on the broom, and replied, "My daughter-in-law and I met here." ”

"At that time, I was in my twenties and still hadn't married a daughter-in-law. The family is panicked, let me go and see more. I was distraught and didn't want to go, so I hid here. ”

I haven't married a daughter-in-law in my twenties.

At that time, he was just a teenager. He just wanted to wait until he got his fame before thinking about starting a family. It's a pity that although he is talented, he is unlucky.

In his twenties, he hasn't been lifted yet, but in fact, it looks hopeless. But he knew that he wasn't. His talent is recognized by Mr.

It's just that the examiner may not like his essay, so he didn't choose him.

Except for the imperial examination, the young man had no other thoughts. studied seriously, but the family did not want to watch their son's age, but his knees were empty. arranged two family affairs, but he was ruined by himself.

The parents were very angry, and the boy went out to hide. When I arrived at the old temple this month, I saw the girl.

It was a rainy day.

The girl's umbrella broke and she took shelter from the rain under the tree.

The boy saw that she was thinly dressed, so he gave her umbrella to the girl. And said that his family will come back soon, let the girl go back to change her clothes first, don't freeze.

The girl was skeptical, but for the sake of the actual situation, she still responded.

In fact, the teenager naturally did not have a family to pick him up. Later, I ran back in the rain, and I was scolded so much that I didn't say anything, and I was sick.

The boy did not regret it. Although, I didn't take the things at that time to heart.

Later, a long time later, when the boy went out on the street, he met the girl again. The girl stood by the river, looking very lonely.

Her steps were vain, and she looked like she was about to jump into the river.

The boy recognized the girl at a glance, and somehow immediately rushed to save her.

Only then did he learn that the girl's fiancΓ© had passed away. Her mother's family, as well as her husband's family, disliked her as an unlucky person and refused to recognize her.

When she went to Yuelao Temple that day, she just wanted to ask Yuelao why she did this to her.

Her embroidery is outstanding, and she is also well-known in ten miles and eight towns. A good embroidery job can already support a family. But... Still can't escape such an ending.

After saving the girl, the boy sympathized with her plight. Gradually, after a little more contact, they also had feelings for each other, and finally walked together.

After they got married, the boy was lifted. Three years later, in the autumn of Qiu, he won the second-class jinshi again. He became an official and only returned to Beijing in recent years.

After returning to Beijing, he and the girl came to the Yuelao Temple where they once met. Finding that the Yuelao Temple was dilapidated, they decided to protect it together.

"It's just that she passed away last year. I made an agreement with her, and now I am naturally coming. She came too, and I came with her favorite bracelet. ”

As he spoke, the old man shuddered, and took out a silver bracelet from his pocket. The silver bracelet looked bright and clear, and there was no trace of oxidation.

Obviously, even after more than a year, the old man still maintained the bracelet very well.

"I gave it to her when I married her. At that time, I was poor, and this was just this one bracelet. As soon as she wears it, it is decades. Later, when I had something good, I refused to take it down. ”
