Chapter Twenty-Three
Standing in front of the hall of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the peak of the mountain is faintly visible and the trees are luxuriant.
The sound of bells and drums, the chanting of scriptures, and the faint scent of sandalwood lingering in the air, all of this is full of peace and tranquility.
No matter whether your state of mind is peaceful or not, when you hear and see everything here, your heart will naturally calm down, and there will be no distractions, only piety.
Wuyu helped his mother to walk up the steps step by step, and when his feet trembled and weakened, he walked to the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Looking back at the bottom, Wu Yu secretly said: "Heh, it's really high enough!" ”
With such a high step, I don't know how those pampered ladies and ladies came up, let alone the concubines and princesses?
Walking into the main hall, only a few ladies and ladies were kneeling in front of the Buddha at this moment. Because he didn't see any men other than Shan Wujian and Shan Wuji, Wuyu looked back at the two brothers sympathetically.
The two of them were indeed a little embarrassed, retreating into the corner and lowering their sense of existence. It stands to reason that they shouldn't have entered the main hall, they should avoid suspicion. But the mother's fate is unbearable, and they are also lucky, and maybe there are other ladies who want the same as the mother, forcing their son to enter the hall, and then have a romantic encounter.
Amitabha, this is a solemn temple, they shouldn't think about that. can come into contact with the suspicious eyes of several ladies and ladies, and if he is not sick, he can't wait for himself to know how to stealth or retreat, so that he can escape directly.
Compared with Shan Wuji, Shan Wujian seems to be much calmer, and because of this, it attracts the eyes of the ladies and ladies to look at him secretly.
On this kind of public occasion, the women in the boudoir, especially the ladies, wear veils when they go out. The eyes are full of silk and satin, gold, silver and jade ornaments, where can I see the appearance of others, Shan Wuxian began to complain again, "This is too unfair, their brothers have shown it to others, but they can't even see what the girl's parents look like, how can this be in love?" Is it difficult to rely on guessing and feeling? ”
Mrs. Ding'anhou, who doesn't know anyone who has a head and a face for the emperor? Those ladies brought their daughters to Mrs. Hou, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mrs. Hou of Ding'an to come to the incense today, it's really a blessing." ”
Mrs. Hou looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Prime Minister, Mrs. Hou bowed politely, "It turned out to be Mrs. Prime Minister, what a coincidence." ”
Mrs. Hou saw that Mrs. Prime Minister was accompanied by a beautiful girl. The girl was dressed in a purple and gold dress, and she held an orange gold thread yarn shawl in the crook of her arm. The ribbon around the waist is unbearable, and the posture is slender.
Look at her thick black hair, holding a simple single screw bun, and a golden hairpin in the shape of a feather is obliquely inserted in the right sideburns, there are not many headdresses, but they are simple and generous.
The two crescent moon eyebrows are curved, a pair of eyes are clean and bright, and the bridge of the nose is hidden under the purple and gold veil.
Mrs. Hou's mind became lively, she stepped forward to take the girl's hand, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "This must be the baby daughter of the Prime Minister's wife, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?" ”
Mrs. Prime Minister peeked at the two brothers in the corner, covered her lips with her sleeves and chuckled, "Mrs. Hou is still joking at me, who doesn't know that this little ancestor of my family is naughty." It's the third lady of your mansion, who has always been docile and filial, when did you take her to a banquet to cause you trouble? ”
Thinking of the gossip in the imperial capital not long ago, Mrs. Prime Minister was a little embarrassed as soon as she spoke, looking at Mrs. Hou and her side, she said embarrassedly: "Mrs. Hou, don't think about it, I don't mean anything else..."
Mrs. Hou waved her hand, "You and I have known each other for more than 30 years, don't I know who you are?" It's just that not long ago, my Ding'an Hou Mansion was smeared, and this is true, so you don't have to mind. ”
Thinking that the two had some friendship, the prime minister's wife was relieved: "You husband and wife, who in the imperial capital doesn't know who you are, but the person behind this is too insidious and cunning, and he actually made up such ridiculous rumors, which is really wronged the child!" ”
Mrs. Hou sighed, "It is inevitable that people like us will not be remembered, and as children of people like us, it is inevitable that we will be wronged." It's just that those who are clear are self-purifying, and I believe that soon this rumor will subside. ”
The Prime Minister's wife also heard Mrs. Hou's voice, and it seemed that the Ding'an Hou Mansion had found out the rumor-monger. Both sides have their own thoughts, the prime minister's wife and Mrs. Hou have incense, and invite each other to visit the mountain behind Longguo Temple.
There is a begonia tree in the back mountain of Longguo Temple, the flowers are in full bloom at this time, a group of people come, and the fragrance of flowers permeates the entire back mountain. Occasionally, the sound of water is murmuring, follow the prestige, there is a waterfall hanging down in the middle of the mountain peak, like a water curtain, isolating the true face of the mountain peak, so that people can not peep one or two, it is really a strange scene, let people linger and forget to return.
The Prime Minister's wife took Mrs. Hou's hand, found a big stone and sat down, and when she saw that the children were interested, she said: "You young people take a look nearby, we are old, let's rest here for a while, you come back early, we will wait here." ”
As soon as Mrs. Hou heard this, she knew that there was a play, and hurriedly instructed the two stupid sons, "You two protect Yu'er, and Miss Zhilan from the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't go far, come back in a while, and let's go home." ”
It was difficult to make a trip, Xue Zhilan happily saluted the prime minister's wife, and then ran away first. Mrs. Hou glanced at her two sons, Shan Wujian and Shan Wuxian hesitated, and they were anxious to look at it, and immediately chased Xue Zhilan, "Sister Xue, wait for me!" ”
Wuyu is the pearl of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, her safety is more important than everything, Shan Wujian and Shan Wuzhi had to run over. The Prime Minister's wife looked at them with a smile, "Hey, it's good to be young!" ”
Mrs. Hou also sighed, "Yes, I didn't expect that the children were all older in a blink of an eye, how can we have the truth of not being old." However, as long as they are doing well, those of us as parents will be relieved. ”
The Prime Minister's wife said sincerely: "In the imperial capital, I can trust you in the Ding'an Hou Mansion. Don't hide it from Sister Cui, my family Zhilan has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She's not bad, she's just too direct. With her temperament, ordinary people really don't dare to entrust her!
There are no concubines and aunts in your family, and there are no concubines and concubines, which makes many people in the imperial capital envious, and only in such a family can I rest assured that Zhilan is entrusted. ”
Mrs. Hou patted Mrs. Prime Minister's hand, "Don't worry, as long as the children look at the right eye, this family business will definitely be successful, Master Hou, I'll go and say it." ”
The prime minister's wife said embarrassedly: "My family and the Hou Ye have no less disputes in the court, that stubborn old man in my family!" Hey, I hope that Master Hou can let go of Jiedi, and our two families can be married forever. ”
