Chapter 34 Praise for the Spring Festival...
She came to the courtyard, along the side of the hand-copying corridor all the way forward, first passed by the west side of the main house, several daughters-in-law and maids in the main house saw the appearance of Yingchun today, they did not dare to lose their manners, and they all bowed to avoid it.
Yingchun nodded in return as he walked, and after a while he came to the main entrance, but saw two tall, strong, oily and smooth jujube red horses, pulling a richly decorated green cover carriage, waiting there.
Behind the carriage, followed by a group of people and horses, led by Sun Shaozu, he was wearing a formal white satin shirt today, with upper and lower trousers, leather at the waist, bronze at the front and back, a sword pinned to his waist, riding on the white high-headed horse, with an impatient look.
It's just that when he saw the spring festival under the costume, his eyes condensed slightly.
Yingchun glanced at him, but naturally he didn't care, and just walked straight to the carriage.
It's just that her outfit today is a bit cumbersome, the skirt is wide, the beaded crown on her head is too gorgeous and lengthy, and this carriage is taller than average, even if she has Xi'an's help, she also takes care of this end, and can't take care of that end, which causes her to get on the car, first the corner of the skirt is stuck in the rim of the horse wheel, and then the pendant hanging from the waist hangs on the handle next to the door, and finally the bead flower on the head touches the beam on the upper side of the door frame.
Just as she cursed the hateful garment in her heart, a hand reached out.
This hand has a thick palm, thick joints, and green tendons at the arm, which is naturally not Xi'an's hand.
She raised her eyes to take a look, but saw Sun Shaozu standing beside her with a calm face and an expressionless face.
Yingchun naturally ignored it, still holding the bead crown with one hand, and trying to reach the doorknob with the other.
Sun Shaozu had anger on his face, and he reached out to hold Yingchun's hand.
Yingchun shook it, but she didn't break free, and at the same time felt a strong force coming from her hand, she was supported by this force, and the person got into the car.
She turned her head and glared at Sun Shaozu, and then wanted to withdraw her hand, but her palm was still tightly held by Sun Shaozu.
She felt as if she had a delusion for a moment, and she actually felt the other party's hand tremble slightly.
She jerked hard again, but this time the other person let go.
"Stupid." Sun Shaozu scolded in a low voice.
Yingchun didn't speak, just snorted coldly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Xi'an had also followed, so he slammed the car door slam slam and made a loud noise.
Cheng'en Temple is at the foot of the foothills of the mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, not a short distance from the Sun Mansion, the carriage walks smoothly on the road, only to hear the horse's hooves knocking on the road, making a clanging sound.
After walking for about half an hour, the sun had fully risen, the temperature began to rise slowly, and the inside of the carriage began to become stuffy.
Yingchun came up sleepy, so he leaned against the car window and took a nap.
I don't know how long it was, but the curtains were lifted and the sunlight was shining in.
"Is it there?" Yingchun asked in a daze with half-open eyes.
"It's still early." A deep male voice came from his ear.
Yingchun's eyes widened suddenly, but he saw Sun Shaozu hand a water bladder in from the window.
Yingchun's throat was indeed dry and dry at this time, and he was about to reach out to take it, but he suddenly took his hand back.
"Thank you, I'm not thirsty." Yingchun said goodbye, and continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep. Hmph, disturb people's dreams.
Sun Shaozu glanced at Yingchun, then stopped speaking, and took the water bladder back and hung it on the saddle.
After driving like this for another half an hour, the weather became hotter and hotter, and Yingchun woke up from her sleep, but she felt a circle of slight sweat oozing from the bottom of her neck, and her throat was also dry and thirsty, which was very uncomfortable, so she sat up straight, coughed lightly and cleared her throat.
"Why hasn't it arrived yet?" She asked Xi'an in a hoarse voice.
"I guess it's going to be soon." Xi'an took a silk to wipe the sweat from her forehead and neck for Yingchun, and replied in a somewhat hoarse voice.
At this time, Sun Shaozu rode a horse and appeared outside the window again.
Without saying a word, he handed in a water bladder again.
"Thank you." Yingchun still had a detached smile on his face, and his eyes didn't look at him, just at the closed car door in front of him.
"It's for you." Sun Shaozu said patiently. The implication is that he has not touched the bladder.
"No need." Yingchun still smiled at the elm door painted with tung oil.
"Humph!" Sun Shaozu glanced at Jia Yingchun angrily, then threw the water bladder in his hand into the car, and with a flick of the reins in his hand, the horse under him rushed forward like a wild horse off the reins.
The bag of water bladders was impartial, and it happened to fall into Yingchun's arms, and Yingchun picked up the strap on the water bladder with a disgusted face and sent the water bladder to Xi'an.
"Drink if you are thirsty." Yingchun said.
Although Xi'an was also thirsty to death at the moment, she didn't drink it in the spring, how dare she open it and drink it, so she had to endure it.
The two of them were like this, and in their thirst, they finally arrived at Cheng'en Temple.
As soon as she got off the bus, the smell of incense came to her nostrils, and when she looked up, she saw the red gate painted with vermilion paint in front of her and the golden roof of the temple in the distance.
This time the incense was on a grand scale, but the temple was also well arranged, and several courtyards had been set up for these old ladies to rest and wait, and the servants were placed in another place, and then there was another special person to coordinate the time of the ladies to enter the incense.
As soon as Yingchun got off the bus, a little novice came to take Yingchun and Sun Shaozu to a living room, where there were already two or three female dependents and three or four men in simple clothes but exquisite were sitting and drinking tea and chatting, and an old monk was accompanying him.
As soon as these people in the house saw Sun Shaozu and Yingchun coming in, they greeted them with a smile without waiting for Xiao Shami's report, looking very familiar with Sun Shaozu, and those female dependents also stepped forward to say hello to Yingchun, Yingchun was not sure if she had seen these people, but she had to say hello with a smile on her face.
At this time, another little novice came in with a tea tray, and Yingchun didn't care about etiquette at this time, so he took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, and the little novice saw this, so he quickly poured a cup up.
A few cups of tea down, Yingchun people felt a little relieved, so they asked the little novice to ask the female dependents of Jinling Jiafu if they came, and were told that the two ladies of Jinling Jiafu Wang You arrived in the temple last night, and came early this morning, and they had burned incense for a while.
At this time, an older monk walked in and told the old ladies in the house that they could go to the main hall to offer incense, and Yingchun got up here, reluctantly stood beside Sun Shaozu, and then walked out together.
