Chapter 1: Sangkokuji Temple
Murong Mansion, the first brocade family in the south of the Yangtze River, after the concubine of Shangshu Mansion came back from her grandfather's yard last night, she rested early, and the two maids couldn't bear to disturb her, so they put the mosquito net and went back to the ear room softly.
I slept well on a spring night, and Dai Duyu slept very peacefully, so I woke up early in the morning. The maid waited for her to wash, and walked to the front hall after eating early, and today she was going to Xiangguo Temple, but there was always a stuffy feeling in her heart, and she couldn't say it was strange.
"Cousin Twilight, you're here, the carriage is waiting outside the door, let's go." Murong Zuilan took my Dai Duyu's hand and said playfully, the two walked out of the gate of Murong's house together, and Dai Duyu saw a few carriages, and looked at Murong Zuilan in puzzlement.
"Cousin, my cousin is also going today, and there are two younger sisters, and Ling Gongzi may also go back." Murong Zuilan whispered.
Thinking of Ling Yifeng, Dai Duyu smiled softly. This man who has always been arrogant likes him very much, and it would be nice to meet him today.
At this time, the curtain of a carriage was opened, and there were two women inside, it was Murong Zuilan's two sisters, Murong Qiao'er and Murong Ruoshui, Dai Duyu was not very familiar with them, so he nodded and saluted.
Stepping on the carriage prepared by Murong Zuilan, Dai Duyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the door of Murong Family, there was a feeling of reluctance in his heart, maybe he had a lot of spring dreams, so there would be this feeling, Dai Duyu put down the curtains and didn't think too much.
Unfortunately, this reluctant look was seen by Murong Chenyi, who was preparing to get into the carriage, and Murong Chenyi was also very puzzled and got into the carriage with doubts.
Murong Zuilan did not ride in the same carriage with Dai Duyu, but sat in front of him with the maid, probably being a thief in his heart. But Twilight didn't know any of this, and she didn't know what was waiting for her.
A group of people in the "bumpy", slowly came to the foot of the Xiangguo Temple, Dai Duyu looked at the mountain, there was a shock in his heart, probably did not expect it to be so high, a lonely mountain surrounded by mountains faintly saw some ancient buildings, some artificially built bluestone slab steps, slowly along the mountain, like the green giant's white jade spiral belt.
Murong Zuilan took the lead, and everyone started a long road of mountaineering, all of them were young ladies from the bottom of the family, usually the door was not out of the door, and climbing this mountain was a fatal thing.
Dai Duyu's forehead has also been sweating, but looking at the emerald green of the mountain, her heart is very relaxed, Yuqin on the side wiped the sweat drops on her forehead for her, and Yulan asked her if she wanted to drink water, and the two maids took care of her carefully.
Murong Chenyi couldn't help but smile and said, "Cousin, you may be able to climb up, don't cry when the time comes." ”
Dai Duyu said with some embarrassment, "Let my cousin smile, Twilight should be able to go up." ”
And at this time, Murong Zuilan, who was walking in front, couldn't help but quip: "Cousin, don't stop leaving halfway, you will be in trouble if you encounter a thief." ”
Everyone slowly came to the top of the mountain in laughter.
Dai Duyu exhaled and looked at the mountain temple in front of him, the magnificent gate, but the houses were built a little low, so in order to avoid being disturbed by thunder and lightning, and then look at an old tea tree on the left, and there is a low hill behind the temple, you can clearly see the peach tree and pine tree together decorate the back mountain.
The group came to this temple, and they were tired, so they hurriedly asked the little girl to find the monk to pray for blessings.
After a while, the little maid brought a monk dressed in a robe and holding beads in his hand, presumably this is the abbot, Murong Zuilan respectfully saluted him, and said, "Greetings to the abbot, we are the descendants of the Murong family, this time I came to pray for my grandfather, there are many disturbances, forget that the abbot is more responsible." ”
The abbot smiled kindly and said slowly, "The donors are filial, and the old man is pleased, so let's go in with me to rest first." ”
Under the leadership of the abbot, everyone walked into the gate of the Xiangguo Temple, which was cleaned very clean, a little monk was giving incense to the Buddha, the curling smoke, let people smell a feeling of isolation, and unconsciously had more respect for the temple.
"A few donors, there is a statue of the Buddha inside, you go in and pray for blessings, it just so happens that there are distinguished guests in the temple who have come to visit the old man and are missing." The abbot said apologetically.
Dai Duyu couldn't help but wonder, what kind of distinguished guest made the abbot not easy to refute face.
"Then the abbot, you go and entertain the nobles first, don't let the nobles wait." Murong Zuilan said with a smile.
The abbot explained a few words to the little monk on the side, and then said goodbye to everyone and left.
Murong Zuilan: "Let's go in and pray for my grandfather, this Xiangguo Temple is said to be very effective." ”
At this time, the accompanying maids began to place tributes, reverently inserted candles, and lit incense to distribute to the masters.
Dai Duyu took the three incense sticks prepared for her by Yuqin, bowed respectfully to the Buddha, and asked the maid to insert it in the incense altar.
At this time, Murong Zuilan pulled her and said that they were going to worship the Buddha together and pray for her grandfather. The two knelt on the cushion and kowtowed to the Buddha.
"I hope that the Buddha will bless my grandfather with happiness such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan, and also bless Cousin Duyu to find a good husband and be happy in the future." Murong Zui Lan said sweetly, turning his head to look at Dai Duyu who was making a wish.
Dai Duyu also coped with this cousin and said, "I also hope that the Buddha will bless my cousin's face forever." ”
"Cousin, don't make fun of me, my cousin is a real beauty." Murong Zui Lan said shyly.
"My cousin and Drunken Blue are equally beautiful, so you can be happy." Murong Chenyi, who had never spoken, said, looking at the two girls dotingly.
Dai Duyu: "My cousin is a talent, and he will definitely have a great future in the future." ”
Murong Zuilan also said with help, "That's it, my cousin learned the way of doing business from my grandfather, which woman in Jiangnan is not interested in my cousin." ”
Murong Chenyi was a little embarrassed by what the two of them said, so he snorted and left, feeling a little dull in his heart, when he heard the woman in Jiangnan just now, he actually thought of Dai Duyu, and the dull feeling in his heart became even heavier.
Murong Zuilan: "Cousin, look, my cousin was embarrassed by what we said." ”
Twilight smiled as she pretended not to understand.
"Cousin, let's go to the meditation room to rest first, after climbing for so long, everyone should be tired." Murong Zuilan said.
Dai Duyu nodded, and went to the meditation room with Murong Zuilan. This meditation room is made of wood, looking in from the outside, there is a small bed inside, and a pot of flowers and plants, small flowers dotted on the green leaves, and then look at a table, surrounded by three small benches, the whole gives people a fresh and refined feeling.
Dai Duyu likes this quiet feeling from the bottom of her heart, and she has been learning female popularity with embroidery since she was a child, and her temperament is also a little dislike and manic. But after meeting Ling Yifeng, it changed, and I didn't want to go back to Kyoto more and more next month, and I slowly began to covet the time of this Jiangnan temple in my heart.
"Cousin, you must be thirsty, I'll pour you a cup of tea." Murong Zuilan didn't notice any difference in Twilight's face, and at this time, she was only thinking about the next action in her heart.
Dai Duyu took the teacup and took a few sips slowly, feeling a little dizzy.
"Cousin, I heard that the peach blossoms in the back mountain are slowly blooming, although they are not as beautiful as those blooming under our mountain, but they also have a unique charm when appreciating." Murong Zuilan said "temptingly".
Dai Duyu felt a little dizzy, and just wanted to go out to breathe, so he agreed.
