Chapter 204: New Year
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Yuwentai and Ran Ying spent it together with the Dugu family in Hussar Mansion.
A few people were lively, pushing cups and changing lamps, and chatting happily.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the Dugu couple took Luo'er to rest early, Yuwentai and Ran Ying put a pot of wine in the courtyard, and slowly chatted while drinking, chatting and talking about the past.
Yu Wentai asked: "Ah Yingke still remembers how we spent the New Year last year?" β
Ran Ying smiled: "You drank too much in the palace and went to the wrong door......
"Nonsense!" Yuwen Tai interrupted her and straightened his face, "Lone is worried that you spent Chinese New Year's Eve alone, and went to see you on purpose." But you were so angry that you didn't have a good New Year! β
Ran Ying covered her mouth and giggled, triumphant, and said, "Aren't you going to spend this year with me?" I promise not to be angry with you this year. β
Yu Wentai's expression softened again. He looked at the bright-eyed girl in front of him with a light smile and said, "Ah Ying, Mr. Gu feels that it has been a long, long time, but he didn't expect that this is the second New Year we have spent together." β
Ran Ying thought of the wedding in a few months, a light smile also hung on the corner of her mouth, she looked at him with one hand on her cheek, her eyes were burning and shining: "There are many New Year's games to spend together in the future." I'm so happy to be with you. β
Yu Wentai's heart was sweet, and he asked her again: "Have you ever thought that being alone with you will endure a lot of storms?" Don't look at the lonely people today, Yutang Golden Horse, maybe tomorrow the high-rise building will collapse. β
Ran Ying lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her head and still looked at him, and said, "Atai, my heart to live and die with you for eternity and eternity today is as firm as I wanted to reject you in the past. In the future, no matter what your situation, I will not regret it. β
Yu Wentai looked at her silently, and a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
A few guards stood guard from a distance, looking at them, and although they couldn't hear what they were saying, they could see the two of them staring at each other, both with sweet and happy smiles on their faces, and they couldn't help but laugh quietly.
Liu Wu said: "I take back what I said before. In this world, there is really no woman more suitable for this position than Ah Ran. β
She is both wise and stupid; both worldly and naΓ―ve; is cunning, but also has a pure heart.
There is no one more suitable to be by the side of someone like Yuwentai than her.
"Ah Ran, this guy...... A few months ago, I didn't believe they could really get this far. Moreover, Zhu Guo just helped her lay the groundwork, and she did everything by herself. β
He Louqi likes to tease Ran Ying the most on weekdays, but he may be the one who cares about her the most among the guards.
"I thought that when Shiro reached this position, it was no longer possible to have the joy and happiness of an ordinary man. But he got Ah Ran, maybe the deceased old general and a few young generals blessed him in the spirit of heaven. Monalo's expression was filled with relief, and there was a hint of sadness.
At this time, I suddenly heard the Yongning Temple in the city ring the bell of midnight on Chinese New Year's Eve. The bell rang loudly, stirring up a deep and grand echo between heaven and earth.
In this Luoyang city, every household and everyone will stick their heads out of the window at this time, looking at the direction of the Yongning Temple pagoda in the city, and silently praying, hoping that they can live a peaceful life in the coming year.
Yu Wentai and Ran Ying looked at each other and smiled. It's a new year.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yuwentai and Ran Ying said goodbye to the Dugu couple and went to the White Horse Temple.
The White Horse Temple was built in the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was the first temple officially built after Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains. Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty once dreamed that a golden man with a height of six zhang and a light on his head came from the West, and after waking up, he asked the minister, and Dr. Fu Yi Qijuan said that there is a god in the West, called Buddha. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty then sent more than ten people including Cai Yin and Qin Jing to the Western Regions to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Cai Qin and others met the Indian monks Semorteng and Zhu Falan in the country of the Great Moon Clan, and saw the Buddhist scriptures and the white felt statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, so they implored the two monks to go east to China to preach the Dharma. The two eminent monks were invited to carry Buddhist scriptures and statues on white horses with envoys from the Eastern Han Dynasty and returned to Luoyang, the capital of the country. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was very happy to see the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, and ordered the construction of a monastery in the north of the three-mile imperial road outside the Xiyong Gate in Luoyang. In order to commemorate the arrival of the White Horse from the east, it was named "White Horse Temple".
However, in this dynasty, the most important temples were more than a dozen royal temples such as Jingming Temple, Yongming Temple, Yongning Temple, and Baode Temple, but the White Horse Temple was not very important. However, it is said that there is a sutra letter handed down in the Han Dynasty in the temple and placed in the hall, often emitting a miraculous light, the monks burn incense to offer, worship as a god, all say that they see the sutra letter shine as if they see the true face of the truth.
Yuwentai and Ran Ying stepped into the mountain gate of the White Horse Temple. Although it is a cold season and everything is withering, the courtyard of the mountain temple is very quiet. Because it is planted with evergreen plants, even in winter, the temples and halls are surrounded by lush vegetation, and there is no sign of depression at all.
On this day, probably because it was the New Year's Festival and the weather was cold, there was not a single pilgrim in the temple. Yuwentai and Ran Ying were walking around in the temple, and Ran Ying gradually felt strange and asked, "Atai, don't you think it's strange?" If it is said that the weather is cold, it is okay if the pilgrims do not come, why have we not even seen a monk until now when we entered the mountain gate? β
Yu Wentai looked around, also vigilant, he called a few guards, and said in a deep voice: "Go and have a look." β
A few people answered. Yuwentai pulled Ran Ying to look around in the courtyard, and when he saw a few withered pomegranate trees in front of the court, he became interested and asked, "Have you ever heard of 'folding a horse sweet pomegranate, a real value cow'?" β
Ran Ying looked up at him and asked curiously, "What does that mean?" β
Yuwentai said: "Although the incense of this White Horse Temple is not as good as the royal temple in this dynasty, it is still magical because it is an ancestral garden. β
"What's magical?"
Yu Wentai stretched out his hand and pointed to a few pomegranate trees in the courtyard: "One pomegranate here can grow to the size of seven catties, and it is juicy and sweet, and it is the same price as a cow in the market." Therefore, it is called a folded horse sweet pomegranate, a real value cow. β
"So big?" Ran Ying loves to eat pomegranates in summer, and she was very surprised to hear this, and her saliva was about to drip down, "Then am I in the wrong season?" β
Yu Wentai laughed out loud in a calm voice: "If you like it, let someone send some to Chang'an in the summer." He pointed to a row of grape trellises next to the Daxiong Treasure Hall and said, "There are also grapes, the fruit is bigger than jujubes, and it is very sweet, and the taste is really the crown of Luoyang." β
Ran Ying glanced at him: "How do you know?" β
"I came to Luoyang during the Yongan period and stayed for a while."
When Yu Wentai heard this, he also felt that something was wrong, and said to the guards behind him, "Go and have a look." β
A few people answered.
Ran Ying saw the Heavenly King Hall in front of her and said, "I'll go and see it too." So he put aside Yuwentai and ran over with his skirt.
When he arrived at the entrance of the temple, he screamed as if he had suddenly seen something terrible, and fell back to the ground.
