The White Horse Temple and the Great Xiangguo Temple are the two largest temples in the capital today, but the Great Xiangguo Temple is mostly set up by the royal family members, and most of the ladies and wives of ordinary officials and eunuchs and even wealthy merchants go to the White Horse Temple. As for the ordinary ordinary people, they can't afford to pay incense, candles, paper horses, and they will kowtow a few more times in the past day, copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures to show their sincerity, and wait until the New Year's festival to bring some melons and fruits to a few smaller temples on the outskirts of the city to offer a Buddha.

Diancui lived in a squatter room in the White Horse Temple, now the weather in the capital is still cold, the breeze outside is swishing, Xin'er shrunk his neck and cooped his hands, went to find the temple Zhu, and asked when the lady's vegetarian food and listening to Zen were arranged.

On the way, I met a person, dressed in a rat-gray goose feather coat, and wore a Guanyin hat tightly, looking like the wife of a Beijing official, but he didn't even bring a maid beside him.

The reason why Xin'er noticed her was because her figure was a little familiar. However, this day was cold and cold, and Xin'er didn't think much about it, so she stomped her feet and trotted to find Miaozhu.

"Madam, rub some more medicated oil, there is some suppuration on this earlobe." Dongxue sighed distressedly, the world said that Mrs. Dao did not suffer any grievances in that prison, but it was not a place for people, not to mention the clammy and cold and gloomy, there were often some disgusting things such as centipedes and tide insects on the ground. It's not uncommon to crawl on people at night and get into their hair.

Don't look at her wife's delicate appearance, but in the face of those terrifying insects, she still screamed twice, but her wife can quietly pick it off for her, and then gently crush it to death.

The insects and rats could not frighten her wife, but the cold made her ears frostbitten, and her toes and hands were always cold.

"Look at this, this crotch pendant can't be worn anymore." Diancui picked up a small copper mirror, and there was also a copper gourd on the table, and the copper gourd contained wine.

It stands to reason that eating wine in other people's temples is the same as killing and eating meat, which is very taboo. But Diancui was too cold, and Yuan Zhiheng was a non-believer in gods and Buddhas, so he took a gourd of wine from the wine shop outside, and brought it in his arms.

"I want you to be good at giving birth, don't be lazy and refuse to rub the medicine, you can wear it in the future...... Don't shake! Yuan Zhiheng was enlivening the soles of her feet, her knees were on his knees, and she was not very honest for a while.

Diancui pursed her lips and stopped shaking her legs, but he pinched the soles of her feet, which was itchy and painful, uncomfortable and couldn't help but giggle.

"I haven't been punished in the prison of Dali Temple, but I've suffered it all now, I'm recruiting, can't I recruit it......" Diancui drank a lot of wine with a copper gourd, this body warmed up, and this mind began to heat up.

"When the prime minister came in with wine, they didn't find out? The smell of this wine is not small, and it must be easy for those who don't drink alcohol to smell it. Diancui sat up straight and said curiously.

Yuan Zhiheng looked out the window and said lightly: "Do you say that the monks in these temples are all such high-ranking monks, most of them are just from a bitter background in order to avoid military service, and even in order to eat a mouthful, they have to shave their degrees, and they have a little bit of Buddha heart in their hearts, and they understand a little bit of Zen." ”

Diancui sighed leisurely: "It's not easy to look at those new little monks, all of them are skinny, can't they eat enough?" ”

It stands to reason that when the pilgrimage and Emperor Xu Guifei believe in Buddhism, the people of this Buddhist family are also highly respected by the world, but in addition to those famous masters in this White Horse Temple, the food and clothing are still bright, but those unknown monks and small novices are a lot shabby.

According to Yuan Zhiheng's knowledge, in the past few years, the imperial court has allocated funds to build temples and provide more money for monks than military expenses. It stands to reason that these monks can't change their shabby behavior, Yuan Zhiheng's eyebrows jumped.

At this time, I heard someone outside "Tuk Tuk", knocked on the door three times, and then there was no sound, Diancui asked who it was?

If it was a believer, she would definitely not knock on the door, and if it was a novice, she would naturally recite the Dharma name.

The people outside didn't respond, Dongxue packed up the medicinal oil, Yuan Zhiheng gently put Diancui's leg back on the bed, and said, "It's her, open the door." ”

Diancui nodded, and Dongxue went to open the door.

The person who came was the one who was wearing a rat-gray coat that Xin'er saw in front of her and covered her feet from head to foot, she took off the coat and bowed to Yuan Zhiheng Yingying, but she didn't know what to do when facing Diancui.

"Big sister, sit down, Dongxue go make some tea," Dian Cui said first: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and the big sister seems to have been cleared." ”

Gui Chuying tugged at the corners of her mouth, and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything after all.

This Sheliao has one more Gui Chuying, and it seems to be crowded all of a sudden, Yuan Zhiheng is not good to stay long, so he stands up and wants to go out.

"Lord Yuan," Gui Chuying hurriedly spoke, "...... you said before"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Luo, what I said earlier is natural." After Yuan Zhiheng finished speaking, he nodded towards Diancui and said, I'll take a look outside.

Although it is cold now, there are many noble people who come to this White Horse Temple to pray for blessings, and there are many people who come and go, and some things still have to be careful. Battle

Yuan Zhiheng went out, leaving Dian Cui and Gui Chuying to stare at each other, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"That thing...... Presumably Lord Yuan has already told you. Gui Chuying muttered, this man can't be compared, there are people who tell women everything when they go home, but most of them are silent, and they still annoy women, her men don't rely on either, they don't even bother to dislike her, and they just run away and can't see their figures.

Diancui nodded, and said that he had said it roughly, and he would like to thank the eldest sister for reminding him, otherwise he would probably have to deceive and harm people in the name of a high-ranking monk.

Gui Chuying was noncommittal, whether that person was harmful or deceitful or not had nothing to do with her, but she knew that this idea was useful to those ministers in the court, especially those who had a holiday with the Xu family.

She thought about it and found Yuan Zhiheng.

In fact, she didn't say much, just told the figure in the blue robe she had inadvertently seen in the third room before, Yuan Zhiheng was extremely keen, what to do next, how to check, it was logical. However, let him find the crazy monk, which also shows that he is a capable person, but he is not as rootless as everyone outside thinks.

Diancui took out a burden from under the pillow and put it on the table, Sister Dao is going to go to Northern Xinjiang, there is no shortage on the road, this time there is not much preparation, it should be the fourth sister's mind.

Gui Chuying didn't expect her to prepare a coil, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she muttered: "No need, I have prepared everything for the road, and besides, you don't ...... it now."

She spent 100,000 taels of silver to redeem herself, such a big movement, I'm afraid no one in this capital knows about it. She wanted to say that she didn't have much money now, but she swallowed it back when it came to her lips. Her fourth sister looks delicate, but it is a tree that can shake money, this 100,000 taels is a number that she can't even think of, maybe here in Diancui, it is nothing.

I don't know when, she seems to have admitted from her heart that she is indeed inferior to her fourth sister who came out of the ravine.

Maybe from that time when she gave birth to a child, lay on the couch, and heard the maid below say that Mrs. Yuan sent an old ginseng, but Mrs. didn't even leave a sip of tea for the giver to eat.

"Bring it, there is nothing valuable, except for the idea of broken silver, a jacket made of bear skin for the child to wear, I heard that the northern Xinjiang side is cold and tight," Diancui paused, and said with a smile: "If you put a few silver tickets in the past, you should have done it, but the eldest sister knows that I have lost all my family now." ”

Gui Chuying finally couldn't help laughing: "I also said how thick your family is, it turned out to be only 100,000 taels, but even if you give me a silver ticket, where will I spend it on the wilderness along the way." ”

"Mrs. Luo, my family said that the carriage and people are ready, and you should go on the road." Outside, Yuan Lu didn't enter the house, but only lowered his voice and said.

"Okay, good ......" Gui Chuying is not stupid, this kind of matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, Dongxue and her took the big piece and the burden, Gui Chuying took it and covered herself tightly, when she opened the door, she turned around and glanced at Diancui, Diancui smiled slightly, and no one said anything more.

Time has passed, and the two cousins finally have a moment of looking at each other and smiling at each other.

Let's say that Gui Chuying, her son and a nurse will go out of the city gate, and the above will give an order:

Lord Luo, the second room of the Luo family, was favoritism, and teamed up with the left waiter of the household department, and the evidence of greed for military food and military salaries was conclusive, so the two of them were dismissed from their posts and exiled to Yazhou. In addition to his son Luo Jing's righteous murder of relatives, he was exempted from the crime of Zhulian, and he was sentenced to meritorious service in northern Xinjiang, and everyone in the other second room was exiled to Yazhou Island with him. Although the left waiter of the household department is a distant relative of the queen's mother's family, the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, so their family is treated the same as the second room of the Luo family.

The second room of the Luo family was originally the most glamorous and highest branch of the Luo family, but now it has fallen off its fingers and ended up in exile.

Someone reported that when the person who arrested the second room of the Luo family was in the law, Luo Jing's wife and children did not know where to go, and when asked the person who guarded the city today, they said that just before the holy decree was issued, they went out of the city gate early to the north to find her husband.

Although it was too coincidental to catch her up, a weak woman and an infant child went all the way north to the desolate northern frontier, and to the miasma of Yazhou in the south, this suffering is not much different. Besides, if she has no one to help her along the way, it will be even more difficult to find a husband smoothly, so the boss is also relieved, and she will not pursue it anymore.

In the matter of the Luo family, Emperor Xu's concubine and the queen each have losses, and no one looks good.

"Go, hold this child farther away, I thought he was a well-behaved and easy to feed, who knew that he would be sick at both ends in the past three days." Emperor Xu pinched her forehead and scolded angrily.

The nurse who was holding Brother Yun'er, I don't know why this imperial concubine is so moody, and she likes to tease and tease this poor child a few days ago, so why is she impatient.

The child had accumulated food during the night, and she slept to death, and the next day she had a very hot fever, so naturally she wanted to cry a little.

"Niangniang, but do you want to call the imperial doctor to take a look?" The nurse asked in a low voice.

Emperor Xu Guifei was impatient, and Grandma Ai on the side was like a fly: "Let's go, what is the imperial doctor, what is his identity, are those people in your Daotai Hospital idle." The child is a little sick, it is very ordinary, you just don't make him cry, otherwise it will disturb the quiet of the mother, and you look good! ”
