581 Encounter at the temple (ask for a monthly pass)
Jiang Lingyi's hand holding the teacup tightened, but her face did not change, and she only smiled and said, "Recently, my mother has been unwell, and it is inconvenient for me to go out." What, the two sisters are going? β
Qin Yun is still over 20 years old and has not yet decided on his family, but in recent years, he has been concentrating on building a private school for girls, so his reputation has risen even more among the female dependents in Beijing.
The fourth girl of the Zhong family realized that she had lost her words, nodded a little uncomfortably, and did not say anything more.
How could she forget......
My cousin will inevitably not receive an invitation to Miss Qin's poetry meeting.
Didn't she slap her cousin in the face when she said this?
But my cousin's face is really thick enough to talk and laugh without changing her face - if it were her, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm so ashamed that my face is red, right?
Because Mrs. Jiang was ill, the Zhong family did not stay for lunch.
After the Zhong family left, Jiang Lingyi returned to the courtyard, only to feel that her chest was suffocating.
Seeing that she was going out of the yard with her cloak, the housekeeper asked, "Is the girl going out?" β
Jiang Lingyi let out a faint "um", took two steps, but stopped again and said, "I'll go to the temple to burn incense and ask for a peace charm for my mother to come back." β
The left and right are going out for a walk, and it's the same everywhere you go, so it's better to take the opportunity to show filial piety.
Sure enough, the housekeeper's mother-in-law smiled when she heard this: "The girl is so filial, and the wife will definitely be well soon." β
Jiang Lingyi nodded, and went out with the maid.
"Girl, which temple shall we go to to ask for a peace charm for my wife?" In the carriage, the maid asked in a low voice.
She didn't know that at first the girl was restless in the room, and she just wanted to come out for a walk.
"Let's go to the Great Eishoji Temple." Jiang Lingyi said casually: "It is said that the peace talisman there is extremely effective. β
The carriage went out of the city and came all the way to the Great Yongchang Temple.
As soon as Jiang Lingyi got off the carriage, she met several familiar women who had just walked out of the temple with their maids.
Jiang Lingyi took the initiative to step forward and salute, and her demeanor was quite dignified.
Only one of the women recognized the person and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Jiang also came to offer incense?" β
"Yes, my mother is in poor health, so I came to ask for a peace charm."
"Miss Jiang is really filial." The woman's eyes were full of appreciation.
After a few people left together, Jiang Lingyi watched for a moment before stepping into the temple.
She chose to come to Dayongchang Temple because most of the people who came here were either rich or expensive.
Since this filial piety is expressed, there is no reason to hide it.
The monk led the way in front, Jiang Lingyi came to the front hall to make incense, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a few familiar faces.
Several delicately dressed girls walked by the stone steps of the front hall and spoke in low voices, not noticing her.
Zhang Meishou walked in the middle, with Xu Wanxi on one side and Qin Yunshang on the other.
A couple of girls followed.
Xu Wanxi whispered: "Let's go to eat fast later, remember to order a Buddha porridge - just to give Zhen Zhen a bad luck." β
What this bad luck is, I don't need to say it clearly.
Qin Yunshang and Zhang Meishou both curled their lips and smiled.
"Sister Zhang's beads are crooked."
Qin Yunshang raised his hand with a smile and helped Zhang Meishou with the bead flower on his head.
The three of them walked away.
Jiang Lingyi withdrew her gaze and unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
"Girl? Can we go to the apse now and ask for a peace charm? Seeing that she had stood still for a long time, the maid asked aloud.
Jiang Lingyi didn't speak, only stepped down the stone steps and walked in the direction of the apse.
There had just been a rain last night, and the sky was overcast today, so the ground was still a little wet.
The embroidered shoes were light and soft, Jiang Lingyi lifted the corners of her skirt slightly, and walked very slowly.
When she approached the apse, she suddenly saw a figure of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy standing under the Bodhi tree, talking to the entourage beside her.
The attendant gestured very respectfully and nodded to the side.
Jiang Lingyi only glanced at it, and saw something unusual.
After taking two steps closer, he looked closely, and sure enough, he recognized the identity of the other party.
At this moment, the young man's eyes turned to look in her direction.
Jiang Lingyi's mind moved slightly, and she quickly looked away.
The young man saw her side face and was slightly stunned.
How is she?
Although he had only met once, he was still impressed, especially those aura eyes-
Later, he inquired and learned that she was Concubine Jing's niece, whose father had just been transferred back to Beijing last year. It's just that although her father has just entered Beijing, she has lived in Beijing for several years......
Moreover, it seems that it was because of the trouble and the bad reputation that he was sent out of the capital.
At that time, he listened to it, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
But at this time, when I saw each other here at a glance, I couldn't help but feel a little novel, so my eyes were glued to the blue figure for a while.
The corners of Jiang Lingyi's mouth moved slightly, and she walked forward without squinting.
At this time, a small novice walked over with a stack of scriptures in his arms.
The road was slippery, and Xiao Shami didn't pay attention to his feet for a while, and the monk's shoes slipped, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably.
This is a puddle, muddy water splashes, and the maid beside Jiang Lingyi subconsciously exclaimed and jumped to dodge.
Jiang Lingyi didn't move, let the muddy water splash and dirty her dress, but stepped forward and bent down to help the little novice up.
"But you fell?"
The girl was beautiful, her tone was gentle and concerning, and there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes, which made the little novice blush in flattery.
Xiao Shami shook his head, quickly sat up, and saluted her with his hands folded: "Thank you, female benefactor." β
Jiang Lingyi squatted down, picked up the Buddhist scriptures scattered on the ground, and handed them to him.
The little novice blushed, thanked him again, took the sutra and walked away quickly.
"Girl, why are you ......" The maid stepped forward, and as soon as she was halfway through her words, she was stopped by Jiang Lingyi with a look.
She wanted to say, what is the girl doing to help the little monk, the little monk has his own hands and feet, and it is not that he can't get up......
"The slave and maid accompany the girl back to the carriage and change into a dress, right?"
Jiang Lingyi nodded.
At this moment, a young man's voice came from behind.
"Miss Jiang stays."
Jiang Lingyi paused and turned around.
When she saw the other party's appearance clearly, her face showed just the right amount of surprise, and she subconsciously said: "Four ......"
The boy quickly coughed lightly and interrupted her.
"It turned out to be the fourth son." Jiang Lingyi changed her words and blessed him.
"Miss Jiang's handkerchief was accidentally dropped when she was helping people." The other party stretched out his hand and handed her a moon-white handkerchief.
Jiang Lingyi looked at the handkerchief in his hand unexpectedly, his eyes dodged for a moment, as if he was embarrassed to reach out to pick it up, smiled, and said in a low voice: "It's already dirty, just throw it away for meββ"
Anyway, the veil was not embroidered by her own hands, and there was nothing special about it, so if it was lost, it would be lost.
