Chapter 54: The Front
Sizhen's feet are fast, Thrush and Huang Ying are both sons of the Kong family, and they have to learn some martial arts since they were young, and it is effortless to keep up, even Bailing, because they were forced by Sizhen to practice Zama step often this year, and their feet are also a lot more stable, so their group, with a few guards, is faster than Jianning taking a soft sedan up the mountain.
When they arrived at the mountain gate, the guards with swords could not enter, and they stayed outside, and Jianning and his party began to bow down from the front hall and bowed until the main hall.
Sizhen didn't understand why Jianning, who had never believed in ghosts and gods and disrespected Buddha, was suddenly so religious, so Jianning blushed and said that she hoped to be able to conceive a child earlier.
Hearing this, Sizhen stroked his forehead: "My Royal Highness Princess, you have only passed your fourteenth birthday, and this is a little too early to have a child, right?" ”
"What, look at Concubine Ning, isn't it the second prince born at the age of fourteen, and the concubine Tong Jiashi, who is not yet fifteen years old this year, and is also pregnant, that is, now I ask the Bodhisattva to agree, and in the future, my children will have to call them brothers, why is the emperor's brother born in front of me, and his princes must all be born in front of my children!"
Concubine Ning is Dong E's family, a bouquet, she gave birth to the second prince Fuquan on July 17, and she was promoted from a concubine to a grade and became Concubine Ning.
Recently, it was rumored that the daughter of Shaobao and Gushan Ezhen Tong Tulai, Concubine Tong Jia Nianjin was pregnant, and some people in the palace were happy and some were worried, but I didn't expect that this matter would even stimulate Jianning.
Hearing Jian Ning's straightforward answer, Sizhen was a little speechless.
She heard the nurse Mama Qin say that when a girl gives birth, the younger she is, the more dangerous it is, but those who are older often can keep their mothers and children safe.
Because it was difficult to say this clearly, she could only persuade Jianning tactfully: "Think about it, Concubine Ba Shi, she was too young when she gave birth to the eldest prince, but the eldest prince died before he even arrived for a hundred days, and the second prince is too, the weak are like cats, even Concubine Ning has lost half her life, you and Eyu have only been married for a short time, so you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”
Jian Ning thought for a while: "It makes sense, but you still have to kowtow, and you can't use it when the time comes, so you can temporarily hold on to it." ”
Sizhen smiled: "Dare to love, Her Royal Highness the princess also knows that you are now temporarily cramming?" ”
Jian Ning muttered embarrassedly: "It's not that the queen mother didn't let us go to the temple before, that day I went to Guangji Temple to listen to a lot of words, and I think it makes sense, I would rather believe it, anyway, just kowtow and burn incense to ask for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, whether it is true or not, it is also a comfort in my heart." ”
Sizhen listened and nodded sympathetically.
With this mentality, they worshiped the gods when they met, and when they saw the Bodhisattva, they kowtowed to incense and donated sesame oil money.
Sizhen had to recite it silently every time he worshipped, hoping that his brother would be safe and that he would be found by the people of the court earlier.
After all, she didn't know which bodhisattva would hear her wish and show mercy, but adhering to the principle that gods have more power and more bodhisattvas can do things, she would recite it silently every time she knelt down.
After their group of women knelt down and worshiped the Bodhisattva and added sesame oil money, the monk led them to the Zen monastery at the back to rest.
Because Jianning Tu is lively and fresh, there is no explanation before, so there are other women's relatives in the Zen courtyard, although when passing under the corridor, you can see the girls passing by with maids from time to time, but because they are all raised by large families, no matter whose girls are quiet, delicate and graceful, and even the laughter can not be heard.
Jian Ning felt bored, so he clamored to see the Buddha Tooth Relic Stupa.
"Didn't you say that the Buddha Tooth Relic Stupa is only beautiful to look at at night? What are you anxious about now? Sizhen persuaded her, "Didn't you still complain about the pain in your legs and feet after kneeling all the way just now?" While Master Zhitong has not yet started to preach, he will rest and rest first. ”
Jianning just did it.
After settling Jianning and explaining to Luxiu and the others, Sizhen returned to the wing room arranged for her.
As soon as she took two sips of tea, she saw the thrush hurriedly come to report: "Gege, there is someone outside who said that he wants to see you, saying that he is an old man in Guilin." ”
"The deceased?" Sizhen thought that on her birthday last year, the emperor invited the families of those Guilin officials in the capital, and walked out without thinking too much.
**
Sun Yanling stood under the tree outside the meditation room and waited for Sizhen.
He still remembered the little girl, but he was afraid that the little girl had forgotten him.
It was a summer afternoon, and ten-year-old Sun Yanling fell under a flower tree in the backyard of Lingguang Temple.
He just ate a piece of dim sum handed over by Aunt Jiu, and after playing outside for less than half an hour, he had unbearable abdominal pain.
A cool breeze blew, and Sun Yanling finally sobered up.
He died in this place, and no one knew, and when his mother finished offering the scriptures and came out to look for him, I was afraid that it would be too late.
It was then that he understood why his mother had repeatedly warned him not to eat outside and not to leave anyone around him.
He never imagined that even in his own family, the aunt who seemed to be kind and quiet couldn't believe it!
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that under the lush ancient trees, the brick-red courtyard wall was faintly visible among the greenery, and the blue-gray temple ridge towered into the sky, which was the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Lingguang Temple......
I don't see tourists, only Sanskrit sounds.
Such a pure place of Buddhism has become a Rakshasa Temple that kills people without seeing blood!
"Mother, let's rest for a while, shall we? I can't walk anymore. ”
He heard someone approaching, and at the same time, there was a soft, glutinous, immature girl's voice, "Moreover, the flowers here are so beautiful, I want to see them for a while." ”
Sun Yanling, who fell in the flower tree, saw a young woman in a brocade dress and embroidered clothes, with a bright and moving appearance, smiled helplessly, she pointed her finger at the girl's forehead, "You, you just don't want to go in to burn incense and kowtow to worship the Bodhisattva." Forget it, you look at the flowers here, and your mother will come out after you go in and burn some incense, and you can't run around. ”
Sun Yanling struggled to make some noise.
But the young woman heard nothing, but turned and went in the direction of the main hall.
In his desperation, he heard small footsteps walking this way.
After a while, Sun Yanling raised his head and saw a four or five-year-old girl, standing curiously not far from him.
"Little brother, why are you lying on the ground? My mother said, the ground is cold, you can't lie down, you get up quickly. "The immature voice is as good as heaven.
Although the girl's clothes were brocade, they were covered in mud, and her face was covered with mud, and she could not see her original complexion, but her big jewel-like eyes, which were as cute as his kittens.
Sun Yanling showed a look of distress.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then walked over and kindly tried to pull him to his feet.
Helplessly, his strength was too small, so he sat on the ground with his ass.
The girl thought for a moment and prepared to call out loudly.
"Don't-"
Sun Yanling subconsciously blocked it, her call, if she called Aunt Jiu, it would be over, but he only made a silent mouth shape hoarsely.
Before that, Aunt Nine had already called him twice in the backyard with someone, and he endured the pain and hid in the flower tree so that he was not discovered.
Since he was a child, his brothers in the family couldn't support him, he still stayed at his grandfather's house until recently, but he didn't stay for a few days, he had inexplicable abdominal pain, and ten-year-old Sun Yanling grew up in an instant, and he didn't hear his mother's voice, so he didn't dare to go out at all.
If it weren't for the girl's young age, he wouldn't have dared to roll out of the flower tree.
He only said one word, but the girl seemed to understand, she thought about it sideways, and whispered: "I don't call people, can I secretly call my mother out?" If you agree, just nod. ”
Sun Yanling nodded.
The girl turned around and ran, ran two steps and came back, pushed Sun Yanling into the flower tree to hide, and put some deciduous branches on it.
She was small, and she was already out of breath from exhaustion to do this little thing.
The sweat washed away the plaster on her face and turned it white.
The girl wiped her face, and her face was more flowery, more like the flower cat in his house.
The girl also took out a paper bag from her cuff, took a plum-like thing and stuffed it into Sun Yanling's mouth, "I had a stomachache last time, and my mother said that it wouldn't hurt if I ate this." ”
Sun Yanling refused to open his mouth.
The girl thought that he was afraid of bitterness, so she took one from the paper bag and put it in her mouth, and then said to him: "It's not bitter, it's sweet, it's delicious, and you won't have a stomachache if you eat it." ”
Sun Yanling hesitated for a moment, chewing and swallowing the plum-like thing.
He shouldn't have eaten indiscriminately, but seeing the girl's big eyes full of anticipation, he ate it.
The girl smiled, stood up and ran away.
After a while, perhaps after a long time, Sun Yanling found that the abdominal pain was actually slowly alleviating......
What did the girl feed him?
Footsteps sounded, and the girl led the woman briskly.
Carrying him out of the flower tree, the young woman looked solemn, and as soon as she took his pulse, she said, "You have been poisoned, but fortunately you met me." ”
Although the girl didn't understand what her mother was talking about, she begged her mother vigorously, "Mother, save this little brother, you see that his eyelashes are so long and he looks so good." ”
……
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Sun Yanling's lips, and he said in a low voice: You have been a beautiful person since you were a child, and you would have asked your mother to save me for my good looks, but now, will you still value beauty the same? Think I'm good-looking? ”
After a while, he became irritated again: this girl is not as well-behaved as before, she provoked a Prince Chengze in the palace last time, and now when she goes outside, she walks up to the mountain gate regardless of her identity.
I heard that she is quite loved by the emperor in the palace, and it sounds like she is a frivolous woman who likes to turn people upside down, where is she suitable for his daughter-in-law?
This is really a response, it's been a few hours, and it's not necessarily good.
Such a girl, even if she marries back, she is afraid that she will not understand any women's virtues and skills.
Her life-saving grace, he still thinks of other ways to return it, and he can't make a promise.
Well, he still didn't tell her the truth, it's better to make her disgusted with him, and everyone broke up. After all, if the marriage contract is terminated by him, it will not be very good for her girl's family.
