waited until two o'clock, the old lady did not appear, everyone waited a little anxiously, and from time to time someone looked in the direction of Ronghuatang.

Liu also became anxious, and was about to send his mother to Ronghua Hall, when he saw Su Jintong holding the old lady's hand.

Su Jintong was obviously carefully dressed, wearing a water-red tulle skirt with a purple cape, holding a falling horse bun, and inserting a plum petal bead flower obliquely, and the whole person was bright.

"Mother, if you don't come again, I'll worry about whether you will regret it temporarily and disagree with us going to Guanyin Mountain?"

Cui stepped forward, naturally grabbed the old lady's other arm, and laughed.

The old lady said happily: "Yo, it's too late to bury me!" Even if you don't agree with whoever goes, you can't disagree with you! ”

The dull atmosphere of waiting dissipated without a trace, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked to their respective carriages.

Jin Nian was with Su Jinxiu and the second wife Xu, and their car and Liu's car were driving the road ahead.

When she was about to get into the car, she heard the housekeeper of the big house, Ping's mother, report to Liu's in a low voice: "It's the fifth lady who is hesitant about the clothes to go out, so she is late." ”

Jin Nian was a little surprised, only the mother and maid who were close to her knew about dressing, and the Liu family actually had eyeliner in the old lady's room?

Immediately she felt that she was making a fuss again, how could the Liu family be a vegetarian for many years, as long as she wanted, where in the inner courtyard was there no one for her?

Maybe there are three rooms, although in Jin Nian's opinion, their three rooms are really not worth Liu's trouble.

With complicated feelings, Jin Nian stepped into the carriage, and the group set off for Guanyin Mountain.

It wasn't until near noon that everyone went up the mountain.

At this time, many carriages were also parked outside the mountain gate, and many servants were gathering together to inquire about the villagers or talk about interesting stories in Yangzhou City.

It seems that there are many people who come to Guanyin Mountain to incense today.

Su Jinnian looked out of the car window and seemed to see a familiar figure, her heart suddenly lifted, and when she wanted to take a closer look, the figure was gone.

The mountain gate of Guanyin Mountain is guarded by two big stone lions, the teeth are sharp and the claws are sharp, it looks majestic, there are three big characters of Guanyin Mountain carved on the stone gate, it is simple and long.

As soon as you enter the mountain gate, there are Zhike monks waiting at the door, the old monk of the year of the sixtieth year, with a string of black Buddha beads hanging around his neck, speaks in a very peaceful tone, which makes people feel very kind.

Liu presented the name of the eldest master, and the monk took a look, and then kindly took everyone to the Manjushri Bodhisattva Hall on the east side.

After returning from rebirth, Jinnian has been in awe of the Buddha's way, she respectfully offered incense to Manjushri, knelt down and prayed for the hall brother before getting up.

It was the Liu family, who was a little surprised by Su Jinnian, she bowed to the Bodhisattva reverently, bowed to the ground, and kowtowed three times, so that her forehead was flushed with red marks.

The red mark seemed to be oozing blood, and the red stinged Jin Nian's eyes.

She suddenly felt sad, thinking of her mother, and even of the carefree she wanted, and the health and safety of the people who loved her......

She asked so much that I wonder if the Bodhisattva heard her prayers?

Looking at the kind smile of the Bodhisattva statue, she suddenly had the urge to cry, and wanted to cry out all the fears and worries after being reborn, and vent them well.

In the tears, she saw the people with different expressions around her, and then she realized that she was out of control, and hurriedly bit her lip and lowered her eyes to cover it.

After the Buddha ceremony, everyone became active again, and no one noticed the strangeness of Jinnian, but the monk looked at her twice and said nothing.

By the time we had lunch, it was time to go.

Considering that the mountain road was difficult, it took nearly two hours to go up the mountain, and it took a longer time to go down the mountain, and it was close to evening, so the old lady decided to stay in the temple tonight and go down the mountain tomorrow.

After tossing for a long time, the old lady began to show fatigue, she sat on the chair and said: "Yingyu, you take a few sisters and Brother Xuan to play, but everyone must not leave the maid and mother-in-law, do not go far, come back before dark." ”

Yingyu is Cui's maiden name.

Coming to Guanyin Mountain for a trip was originally proposed by Cui's family, and when she heard the old lady's arrangement, she happily agreed.

Soon, Choi realized that he had been happy too soon.

She looked at her nieces with different opinions with a little headache, and said helplessly: "One of you wants to go to see Yunlin, one wants to go to Tianchi, and one wants to go to see the maze, then go separately, you must come back when you are young, otherwise, I won't take you with me next time." ”

Her words were not threatening at all, and the little girls thanked her and separated. The young lady of the big house took her maid and wife to the Star Picking Tower, and Su Jintong went to Tianchi.

Since visiting the Bodhisattva, Jinnian's mood has been low, and he is very unhappy.

Su Jinxiu was very excited, she took Jinnian's hand and said eagerly: "Let's go to the maze?!" ”

Su Jinnian didn't care, so Su Jinxiu led the way along the road.

I think there are few people staying overnight, and most of the people who go up the mountain have already gone down the mountain at this time, and along the way, they have not met any outsiders, only occasionally three or two small monks come down from the mountain.

The temple of Guanyin Mountain is built along the mountain, and they climb the steps along the steep winding mountain road, and the buildings along the road are surrounded by stone walls, and the mottled cracks on the stone walls confirm the timelessness and grandeur of the past.

The mountain temple is thousands of years away from the red dust, probably so!

Then go up a small ramp, the buildings in front of you begin to increase, the height is staggered, uneven, the glazed tiles of Zhumen shine in the sun, I think the ruins of the maze have arrived.

Su Jinxiu gasped and wailed: "I knew it was so far away and so steep, so I wouldn't have come to this ghost place." ”

Jin Nian was also so tired that she leaned on the pillar and panted, hearing that the words were a little messy, dare she run here without doing her homework before coming?

She glared at Su Jinxiu, and said angrily: "Then who is it that you have to pull me here." ”

Su Jinxiu put down her shoulder, a little angry: "It's all to blame on the eldest brother, and the fourth brother Gu, I have to say that this maze is hidden by the windows, and there are thousands of households but they are all connected to each other, isn't it just curious!" ”

Su Jinnian was stunned, and without thinking about it, he grabbed his mouth and asked, "Fourth Brother Gu, Gu Yanyi?" ”

Su Jinru's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Have you seen him?!" She remembered that when Gu Yanyi came to greet the old lady, Jin Nian was obviously not present.

Jin Nian's face was pale: "No." ”

If you follow the trajectory of the previous life, it was not until a year later, when she was thirteen years old, that she met Gu Yanyi in the back garden of Su Mansion.

Su Jinxiu's gaze was a little strange when she looked at her: "Look at you like you are facing a great enemy, I don't know what I think is wrong with you!" ”

What can there be?

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Jin Nian's mouth, she didn't want to say more, and changed the topic stiffly: "Since you have climbed up with so much energy, let's take a good look at your scenery." ”

Before she finished her words, Su Jinyu had already taken the lead along the verandah towards the main hall.

This acute sub! Jin Nian shook his head helplessly, so he had to follow quickly.
