Chapter 65: A Chance Encounter
Daxiangguo Temple covers a wide area, and a small garden behind it, which is famous for its artistic conception and deep meaning, which is worth visiting.
Wang Ji and Li Ran were talking, and walked towards the back garden.
The two of them are walking very slowly, Li Ran is the first time to go to Daxiangguo Temple, Wang Ji walked, while talking to Li Ran about what is there, what legends there are, what is the attention here, what is the story, mixed with a certain poem is here, how was the person who wrote the poem at that time, which article mentioned there, how is this article actually how, and how is the author......
Li Ran listened with relish, and in Wang Ji, you can see the words "profound family knowledge" everywhere.
The small garden is not big, but there are many rockeries, which are very tortuous.
“…… There is a place in front of it, called the Five Aggregates Pavilion, where you can rest your feet......"
Before Wang Ji finished speaking, a mother-in-law who walked more than ten steps in front suddenly paused and waved her hand, then hurriedly turned around, walked to Wang Ji's side, and whispered a few words.
Wang Ji sighed in a low voice, looked at Li Ran, who had been looking at her sideways, and pulled her back a few steps before suppressing his voice and said: "Yes, I saw Mrs. Shao in the Wuyun Pavilion, let's change places, after all, it is an elder, I really want to meet head-on, it's not good to be too rude, but it's not rude~~"
Wang Ji dragged out the silk end, "There's nothing I can't say to you, I always avoid her, not only because they don't like her, but I don't like her." Why don't we go around to the back and take a sneak peek? ”
At the end, Wang Ji suggested again.
"General Xie's biological mother?" Li Ran confirmed the sentence.
She remembered this Mrs. Shao, the wife of Xie Ze, the secretary of the household department, and the biological mother of General Xie.
"Hmm." Wang Ji hummed affirmatively, looked at Li Ran, and saw Li Ran nodding, before signaling to the mother-in-law just now, and the group walked back for a while, and went around the back of the Wuyun Pavilion.
After bending around for a while, the mother-in-law who walked in front turned back, leaned sideways against the rockery, and signaled to Wang Ji that the front could pass.
Wang Ji was in front, carrying his skirt, standing on tiptoe, turning another corner, and entering a false cave.
Li Ran looked at Wang Ji who looked like a thief, wanted to laugh, but couldn't bear it, pursed his lips and smiled, followed Wang Ji, and also got into the artificial cave.
Coming out of the rockery cave, it is a slightly higher place, through the dense leaves, the five aggregate pavilions are slightly condescending, and the view is quite clear.
Wuyun Pavilion is only half a pavilion, one side leans against the rockery, one side faces the water, the pavilion is old, the willow branches hang low, the flowers and trees are sparse, and the artistic conception is far away.
Li Ran saw Huo Wenlin at a glance, standing facing them, her eyes wide open, looking at her side with admiration on her face, a woman with an extremely beautiful figure playing incense seals.
The woman should be Mrs. Shao, but Li Ran is not very sure.
According to General Xie's age, this Mrs. Shao should be around fifty years old, but the woman in front of her, although she can't see her face yet, can look at her figure, that is, a beautiful woman in her twenties and at most thirty, this age difference is too big.
Li Ran looked at Wang Ju, her eyes were full of questions, and she pointed at the woman with her finger, and Wang Ju drooped her eyelids to show that this was Mrs. Shao.
Li Ran's eyes widened, and she wowed with a mouth shape.
No wonder General Xie is so good-looking, his biological mother is still so beautiful in her fifties!
Mrs. Shao's movements were gentle and beautiful, and while slowly holding the incense ash, she spoke to Huo Wenlin in a slow voice.
“…… I used half of the aged white plum tree roots for this fragrant ash, which seemed to burn but not burned, and slowly smothered into fine ash, and the other half, with purple bamboo, so mixed out, there was the clear white plum blossom, and there was the straight ...... of purple bamboo."
Li Ran was dizzy when she heard it, she didn't know how to use incense or anything, and she didn't even like to use perfumes, but she had bought a lot of perfumes, and put them in a row when she bought them, and those bottles were really good-looking.
"The incense seals I have seen, there are copper and silver, and red gold, and the first time I saw the mutton fat jade, this piece of mutton fat jade is really good." Huo Wenlin admired and envied.
"The most useless thing about these things is red gold." Mrs. Shao laughed, "It's too vulgar, silver and copper are secondary, but you can't get rid of the smell of copper, this jade is born between heaven and earth, if there is a breath, it is also the aura of heaven and earth, so it will not be contaminated with the smell of this fragrance......"
Mrs. Shao said, subconsciously looking at the place where Wang Ji and Li Ran peeked, Wang Ji pulled Li Ran, and the two of them held their breath and retreated, going around.
Walking out for a long time, Li Ran looked at Wang Ji patting his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile: "The Shao family is known for its elegance?" ”
This Mrs. Shao is really too elegant.
"The Shao family was originally a house slave of the Xie family, and when they were released later, they have always been attached to the Xie family, and I don't know much about the Shao family." Wang Ji replied very reluctantly, and seemed extremely reluctant to talk about it.
Li Ran glanced at her and changed the subject, "You say, will they also eat vegetarian food here?" ”
It's almost time for dinner.
"Oh!" Wang Ji was a little annoyed.
Although the dining hall of this Great Xiangguo Temple is not small, there is only one door to enter and exit, in case you bump into it...... It's annoying.
"Why don't we change places, I heard that there is a mother-in-law's house near here, and Su Zhai is doing very well?" Li Ran suggested.
"Granny Chen's house, this Granny Chen was wrapped in swaddling clothes and was put into the nunnery, which is not far from the Daxiangguo Temple, growing up in the nunnery, but unwilling to lose her hair, so she returned to the customs, began to sell only vegetarian steamed buns, and later began to sell vegetarian vegetables, and then later, she opened a Granny Chen's house, her vegetarian house is really delicious, let's go to her house."
Wang Ji said, told his mother-in-law to go and see if there was a private room, and together with Li Ran, he talked and went to the side door of Daxiangguo Temple.
"Coming out of Granny Chen's house, it is the place where the surnames of the Great Xiangguo Temple are traded, let's have a good meal, it is almost the time when the excitement begins, every May, the transaction of the surnames of the Great Xiangguo Temple is the most lively and fun."
Speaking of the surname transaction, Wang Ji's eyebrows flew.
"The most interesting thing about the 10,000 surname transactions in May is that the area next to Granny Chen's house is full of cultivators, all kinds of things, and ......."
Wang Ji suppressed his voice, revealing countless mysteries, "What about the tantric sects of double cultivation, as well as those who cultivate Gu arts, there are everything, do you know what they sell?" ”
"Fu?" Li Ran replied quickly, what a cultivator is best at and can sell, of course, is Fu.
"Pretty much." Wang Ji couldn't stop laughing, "All kinds of ...... It's a mess, my second sister-in-law loves to go shopping, and she pulls her second brother to accompany her every year, from beginning to end.
One year, the year before last, the second sister-in-law spent 20 yuan to buy a secret recipe for a long life.
The secret recipe is layer by layer, wrapped tightly, opened, a recipe, what the new wheat half tael, three years of old rice and half tael, yellow essence one tael, and snow lotus or something, a bunch of things, but it is very easy to obtain, in the end, it is the same medicine, some are not easy. ”
"What medicine?" Li Ran was already laughing.
"Yes, it takes three black hairs from a centenarian."
Li Ran laughed, and Wang Ji also couldn't stop laughing, "It's difficult enough for a hundred-year-old woman, and she needs three black hairs." The second sister-in-law told A-Niang that this medicine had to be attracted by A-Niang, because the mother-in-law's hair was all white. ”
"What have you bought?" Li Ran asked Wang Ji with a smile.
"That's a lot, I've also bought a deep seed of love." Speaking of deep love, Wang Ji's voice is low, revealing happiness and mystery.
"Who did you plant it for?" Li Ran's eyes widened and she couldn't wait to ask.
"I didn't plant it for anyone, I just bought it back and saw what it was, saying that I had to get the birth date first, how could I plant it?"
"It's not hard to find out the eight characters of birth, right?" Li Ran was a little unsure.
"It's not difficult, but the top one said that if people are willing to give it, isn't that just a grass post? The grass posts are all down, and you still need to plant this kind of love again? Wang Ji spread his hands.
Li Ran thought about it carefully, "You still have to plant, and between husband and wife, not all are affectionate and loving." ”
"This is also, if we see it again in that moment, let's buy one by one." Wang Ji smiled and suggested.
Li Ran only smiled and didn't answer.
If she can make her own decisions, she has no intention of marrying, if she can't make her own decisions and marry, she doesn't want the other party to plant any kind of love, it is best, like the Chang'an Hou couple, a front yard, a back yard, respect each other, and live separately.
When the two arrived at Granny Chen's house, the neighborhood was already lively, and the two of them ate as quickly as possible.
Eat well, sit patiently, drink half a cup of tea, and when I came out, all kinds of big stalls and small stalls were already densely packed, squeezed one by one.
Before the two of them could stand firmly, they heard Huo Wencan's pleasant surprise, "That's not your fourth sister?" What a coincidence! ”
Li Ran and Wang Ji looked over together.
"And the six ladies, what a coincidence!" Huo Wencan pulled Li Qingning with one hand, and he had already rushed over in two steps, let go of Li Qingning, and bowed to the two of them.
"Li Sanye is good, Sangongzi is good." The king hurriedly bent his knees to salute.
Li Ran also bent his knees separately.
"You just had a good meal?" Li Qingning seemed to be a little uncomfortable, pointed to Granny Chen's house, and asked with a smile.
"Look at what you asked, didn't you see your sister and the sixth lady, who just came out of there, didn't they just have a good meal, did they just drink tea?" Huo Wencan blocked Li Qingning.
"I've eaten and drunk." Wang Ji smiled, "Now I'm going to take a look." ”
"What a coincidence! Saburo and I are also preparing to take a walk, just right, let's go together, if there is a disciple...... No, it's because you bought a lot of things, and it's just right that we can hold it for you. Huo Wencan answered very quickly.
Wang Ji looked at Li Ran, who smiled and nodded.
"Where do we go first?"
Wang Ji looked at Li Ran and asked with something in his words.
With Huo Wencan and Li Qingning following, they still have to discuss whether they go to the place where they sell deep love seeds.
"Isn't there a long life?" Li Ran understood what Wang Ji meant and blinked.
Wang Ji nodded and laughed.
Li Qingning looked at Huo Wencan with a blank face, and asked Huo Wencan with an expression and lip shape: What do they mean by this?
Huo Wencan didn't understand either, but he didn't want to admit that he didn't understand, so he just had a serious face, glancing at Li Qingning, you don't understand this on his face?
Wang Ji and Li Ran were in front, and as soon as they turned to the large area where all kinds of mysterious objects were sold, they saw Li Qingrou, the third lady of the Li family, and Sun Miaoniang, the third lady of Zhongyong Bofu, and Gao Guiying, the second lady of Zhongyi Bofu, the three of them were surrounding an old nun with a serious face, and outside the three of them, there was a group of girls and women.
Wang Zhen snorted, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Huo Wencan.
Huo Wencan glared at Li Qingrou, and was stabbing Li Qingning with a folding fan.
Li Qingrou's pile, the mother-in-law outside saw Li Qingning and Huo Wencan, a few moments before these two saw Li Qingrou, and they had already told Li Qingrou.
Li Qingrou opened her eyes and looked at Huo Wencan in surprise.
This spell is so effective!
"Three sons! Third brother. ”
Before Huo Wencan and Li Qingning could react, Li Qingrou had already exclaimed and rushed towards the two.
"Huh? The third son? Third brother? ”
In front of a stall next to him, Sun Miaoniang's eldest brother Sun Daqing was followed by his younger brother Sun Erqing, who exclaimed and rushed towards Huo Wencan and Li Qingning.
"Third son, third brother, didn't you say that you couldn't be free? Got busy until midnight? Busy? The third brother is capable, and the third son can also do it, are you here to find us? I'll just say that the third brother must not be at ease, and there is still the third son. ”
Sun Daqing was still on the road, and a long list of words of enthusiasm and joy had already erupted.
Wang Ji looked at Li Ran and asked her with his eyes if she wanted to avoid it.
Li Ran shook his head imperceptibly.
With this lively and talkative fountain-like Sun Daqing, this meeting is not easy to be embarrassed. Besides, now, Li Qingrou, and the Li family, she can't keep avoiding it, she has to face it.
