Winter has arrived, and the chill in the wind is getting stronger.

Yunong got up early in the morning and pushed the window, and the maids in the courtyard had already been busy, and they tried their best to clean the huge yard, without a little fallen leaves, only the branches and treetops were full of unfinished autumn.

She exhaled softly, listening intently to the movement in the side room.

In the silence, there was a faint sandalwood wafting through the gap between the window lattices, which was the smell left by their girls after chanting sutras and chanting Buddha all year round, and constantly burning incense every day.

I had never heard the sound of the girl's chanting, and I thought she was still asleep.

Yu Nong's movements couldn't help but speed up a lot, and when she passed by the sprinkler maid, she slowed down and said softly: "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, you have to get up early every day, you might as well boil a few pots of ginger tea in the ear room, so as to warm your body." Lest you come back and get sick, it will be bad. ”

When she said this, she naturally didn't have to pay for the little maids to buy things by themselves.

can save a sum of money, and there is a sip of hot tea to drink, a few little maids are smiling, but they also abide by the rules and do not make a big move.

I used to go to the kitchen to get food, it was Yuqi's job, who asked Yuqi to go home to visit relatives a few days ago, and the most useful for the girl was only her and Yuqi, so this work was all on her.

However, Yu Nong did not have the slightest intention of complaining, and it was much better to be reused by the girl than to be disdainful.

When Yunong came back with the food box, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his own girl reciting scriptures under the tree. She entered the house when the girl was seven years old, and it has been nearly ten years now, how other ladies live on weekdays, Yu Nong can't say well, only know that her own girl has been reciting the Sutra of the Past for ten years, and she has lived a good life like an ascetic monk in the temple.

If it weren't for the old lady to stop her, the girl would have lived in the temple and nunnery, and would have been with the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for the rest of her life.

At this time, Yu Nong thought of the people from the capital a few days ago.

It was the steward of the Lin family in the capital who said that when Mrs. Lin entered the spring, she was accidentally infected with a cold and recuperated for several months. Mrs. Lin now misses her daughter who married far away, that is, Mrs. Yan.

Therefore, he specially sent the steward around him, wanting to take the Yan family to Beijing.

However, Master Yan is now in an official position, even if he is not a big official, it is not easy to leave the errand in his hand for a while, so he did not leave with Mrs. Yan.

The girls were idle, but somehow they stayed.

Waiting for Yan Juan to use the morning food, Yu Nong was still puzzled in his heart because Yan Juan did not go to Beijing.

She has always followed her own girl, and I still remember that when the girl said that she was unwilling to go far away, the lady clearly disagreed with it, but in the end, it was also the girl's temperament, and she didn't even persuade her. Obviously, the steward from the capital also specially mentioned their girls, saying that Mrs. Lin also wanted to meet their girls!

Yan Juan untied the Buddha beads wrapped around her wrist, and recited the scriptures as usual, and the white jade Buddha statue became more and more warm under the influence of incense.

The little maids had already packed up their meals, and Yu Nong picked up the needlework as usual, and sat outside embroidering words.

I thought that the morning had passed in the sound of the girl's scriptures, but Yan Juan only read three or two sentences, and then opened her mouth to call her name.

The Buddha beads slowly turned around at her fingertips, and Yan Juan turned her head to look at the jade nong who heard the sound.

"Today...... It's already the beginning of winter! ”

Her gaze fell into the void, as if she was missing something.

"After the beginning of winter, it should be a light snow, Yunong, you go and let the steward prepare the carriage, and we will go to Ganlu Temple to live for a while, okay...... Doing a Dharma ......"

Although Yu Nong is Yan Juan's confidant, he still doesn't know many things about Yan Juan.

It's like Yan Juan has to ask the monks of Ganlu Temple to do things every winter, those rituals have no name, and I can't see why they are done, but every winter, Yan Juan is like an ice cube carving, the whole person looks cold, not much popularity, as if the next moment will disappear into the world.

Mr. and Mrs. Yan have always disliked Yan Juan's actions of copying scriptures and reciting Buddha, and they have also tried to change Yan Juan, but they always end up in nothing.

Under the compromise between the two sides, it has become what it is today.

How Yan Juan recites scriptures at home, Mr. Yan and his wife turn a blind eye, as if they didn't see it, as for the temple and nunnery outside, Yan Juan is not allowed to go often, even if he wants to go out, he must be accompanied by Mr. Yan or Mrs. Yan.

Yu Nong answered, and asked hesitantly before leaving: "The girl is going to Ganlu Temple today, so I want the housekeeper to leave a message for the master......

If Master Yan knew that Yan Juan didn't even leave a word, he would take advantage of his absence at home and go straight to Ganlu Temple, I don't know where he would go!

Yan Juan frowned slightly: "Father is very busy these days, eating and living in the yamen, it should be a while if he can't come back, even if he leaves a message from the housekeeper, I don't know when he will hear it." ”

"You just ask the housekeeper not to talk nonsense, lest he specially send people to the yamen, and the rest will be talked about when I come back from Ganlu Temple!"

After getting Yan Juan's orders, Yu Nong turned around and went out.

Back in front of the Buddha statue, after reciting the last verse of the Sutra of the Past Life, Yan Wan changed into clothes for going out under the service of the maids, and instructed the maids to pack her luggage for the trip.

Seeing that no matter what the maids took, they had to turn around and ask her for her consent, Yan Juan couldn't help but have a headache, and missed Yuqi more and more. There are many maids with names and surnames in her yard, but only Yu Nong and Yu Qi are the most suitable for her.

was disturbed by the maids again and again, and the scriptures that I had planned to continue reading could not be read anymore.

Yan Juan had no choice but to put away the Buddhist beads and concentrate on instructing the maids to clean up their things.

The luggage had just been packed, and Yu Nong had already returned from the housekeeper, and his eyebrows were in a hurry.

When she arrived in front of her to reply, Yan Juan knew what was going on.

"Someone came to the door and didn't report his name, but he named him and said he wanted to see me?"

Although the daughters of the boudoir in Jinguan City like all kinds of banquets and poetry meetings on weekdays, Yan Juan has always been an unsociable. She spends most of her time copying scriptures and reciting Buddha, and only when faced with some unshirkable invitations, she will reluctantly go out to socialize.

The person who came to ask to meet her this time neither posted in advance nor left his name, just that sentence sounded very strange.

Yan Wan frowned, thought about it for a long time, and didn't guess the identity of the person.

Then he said, "He doesn't say his name, and you haven't seen him, so I think it should be someone I don't know, just let the butler send him away." ”

He asked about the carriage again: "I can tell the housekeeper that I will go out now, and I am afraid that I will use lunch halfway, but I can still catch up with the dinner of Ganlu Temple, which is not bad......"

The vegetarian food of Ganlu Temple is one of the best in Jinguan City, and it deserves the name of delicious food.
