Chapter 16: Dusty Moon Temple
"You are also a big boss, and your father is also going to let Miss Yang pass the door earlier, you have to go to the door more."
In the early years, this family business has actually been put aside, and in recent years, Qingyaju's business has been on the road, and Bai Rong's eldest brother Bai Rong has written from Kyoto into the cabinet.
From the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the fourth grade, to the cabinet from the second grade, it seems that it can continue to go up, so the Yang family took the initiative to mention this matter again, this meaning, who doesn't know, but just sighed and stopped, since it was mentioned by others, it was put on the agenda.
Bai Shaojie only felt that his head was big: "Mother, how old is Yang Zhizhou's little daughter, do you want me to marry a little girl and come back and coax all day long?" Besides, I'm not too small, I'm only twenty. ”
"Are you looking for a fight? What nonsense, now fourteen, in two years will be sixteen, this is set, next year you will start to prepare, when you don't get married honestly, your father has you to feel good. ”
"Mother, are you annoyed, Miss Yang has seen it when she was a child, and she hasn't seen it when she grows up, who knows what it looks like, in case it's an ugly, brutal and willful, I married it back, are you better?"
"You—" Madame Bai was so choked by him that she couldn't say a word.
Bai Meixue hurriedly grabbed Bai Shaojie: "Second brother, how do you know that Miss Yang is not beautiful, what if she is a big beauty?" Is it good and filial? ”
Mrs. Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's it, you talk nonsense all day, your eldest brother got married at the age of twenty, and now Jin'er Ran'er is eight years old, where are you twenty, you have already eaten twenty-one, and when Miss Yang is sixteen, you will be twenty-three, this family matter has already been decided by your father, and you probably can't pick and choose." ”
At this time, the meal was almost eaten, Bai Shaojie put down the dishes and chopsticks, and felt depressed, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to say expressionlessly: "I know Mother, I've eaten, go clean up and prepare to go up the mountain." ”
-------------------
Halfway through noon, Li Tang was out of breath, and finally ran to the intersection at the foot of Yanfeng Mountain, patting his chest: "Fortunately, Miss Bai hasn't arrived yet." ”
Found a stone on the side of the road and sat down to rest, Li Tang tidied up his clothes, the slightest breeze blew at the foot of the mountain, gently brushed his face, the breath gradually stabilized, Li Tang looked to the northeast, Bai Fu was hidden in the mountains, the woods were dense, and she couldn't see clearly, but she saw Bai Meixue from the invisible house, smiling towards herself.
On the north avenue, two people walked slowly, Li Tang saw Bai Meixue wearing a blue velvet sweater at a glance, covered with a water-green cloak, his heart suddenly cheered, the figure was getting closer and closer, Li Tang finally had room to look at the person next to him, the boy who was higher than Bai Meixue, the black fleece sweater, the Hunan yellow tulle coat, holding a big bamboo basket in his hand, was bowing his head and talking to Bai Meixue, it was the second young master of the Bai family who was a little stunned when Li Tang saw it, Li Tang felt that he always looked at himself unpleasantly, and thought that he was not happy today...
The two walked up, and Bai Meixue stepped forward to hold Li Tang's hand and smiled: "Waited for a long time?" Cold or not? ”
"Second Prince Li" smiled, tried to restrain himself, and greeted him very implicitly: "You are here... Just arrived for a while, it was not cold, and it was still a little hot to walk. After saying that, he still had a little stupid smile.
Bai Shaojie stepped forward, Li Tang was a little embarrassed, and looked at Bai Shaojie with a restrained smile: "Bai... Childe is good. ”
Bai Shaojie replied expressionlessly: "Hmm." At the end, he suddenly added: "Just call Mei Xue the second brother." ”
Li Tang was a little stunned, raised his eyes to look at Bai Shaojie, and then looked at Bai Meixue, a little unbelievable, only to be a little sluggish, it was simply surprising, Young Master Bai didn't lose his temper, and asked her to call him the second brother, she was thinking, at the foot of this hidden nunnery, the violent temper was also purified by Buddha nature.
Ignoring her stupidity, Bai Shaojie walked in front with a basket, Bai Meixue reached out and took her hand, and followed the way up the mountain, Li Tang's heart burned a trace of complicated emotions at the moment, slightly sweet, unstable, with a little excitement, she suddenly felt that Bai Shaojie was not annoying.
The road up the mountain is not close, the three of them chatted and walked slowly on the rugged road, most of the time, either Bai Meixue and Li Tang talked, or Bai Shaojie talked, Bai Ershao and "Li Ergongzi" didn't seem to have much to talk about, but the atmosphere was not bad.
Today's Bai Shaojie has a good temper, Li Tang naturally doesn't know the reason, only Bai Meixue thinks, probably because of the family affairs mentioned by his mother during the meal!
In the winter mountain forest, some are wet, but fortunately, the weeds and vines under the feet are not growing on the road, otherwise I am afraid that the clothes and shoes of the three people will be wet.
Chatting and chatting, they had already arrived at the Wind and Rain Pavilion, the three of them entered the pavilion and sat down to rest, Bai Shaojie uncovered the lid of the basket, took the cowhide water bladder from it, took the porcelain cup of the thin tire, poured water and handed it to Bai Meixue.
I didn't think about Li Tang when I went out, I only prepared two cups, Bai Shaojie took the other one and poured water and handed it to Li Tang, Li Tang was a little flattered, and took it with both hands: "Thank you... Brother Bai. ”
"Hmm." Bai Shaojie got up and looked, went out of the pavilion, picked a leaf at a high place on the side of the road, returned to the pavilion, poured water and washed the leaves, and then rolled it casually and filled it with water to drink.
At this time, Li Tang reacted, and couldn't help but feel a good impression of Bai Shaojie in his heart, and at this moment, he felt that his face was flattering; looked up at Bai Meixue, quietly approached her and whispered in her ear: "It turns out that Second Brother Bai is very good." ”
Bai Meixue smiled and nodded: "Well, the second brother is like that, he may sometimes speak a little rushed, but he is very good, you don't have to worry about it now!" ”
"Well, I feel like I'm getting more and more like him."
Bai Meixue stepped back and looked up at her: "What's the matter?" You have changed your mind about such a trivial matter, the change is really fast, but the second brother has already made a marriage, you can't like him. At the end, he smiled and winked.
Li Tang was embarrassed, and the red cloud on his face rose sharply: "What's the matter, I didn't mean that, I meant that the second brother was good..."
Bai Meixue giggled: "Tease you, what are you anxious about?" Li Tang suddenly felt that such a Bai Meixue was not like a person when she first met her and played the piano, but this kind of Bai Meixue was cute.
Hearing Bai Meixue laughing, Bai Shaojie looked up at the two: "What are you talking about?" So happy. ”
Bai Meixue blurted out: "We are saying that the second brother is married, and other daughters can't like you anymore." ”
Li Tang was too late to stop him, he was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Bai Shaojie knew what Bai Meixue meant, and he was worried about family affairs, so he didn't have the heart to joke: "Little girl's family, you know what you like!" ”
Li Tang stuck out his tongue to ease the embarrassment, and Bai Meixue raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and snickered. After resting almost, the three of them began to go up the mountain again, except for the wind and rain pavilion not far away is the hole bridge, and the pool of turquoise clear water under the bridge is also the jade will lose its color.
Going up the mountain was far more tiring and slower than going down, and after another half an hour, I finally reached the top of the mountain.
The small nunnery, looking at the black plaque hanging horizontally on the door of the old courtyard, the vermilion lacquer has long been mottled, but the three words "Chenyue Nunnery" are still vaguely visible, looking at the small nunnery in front of you, in this deep mountain, quiet as a breeze, because of the mountain climbing and the rapid beating of the heart, but also with this quiet temple and calm.
The three of them walked through the courtyard and entered the Buddhist hall, and the front saw a stone statue of Guanyin standing in the hall more than one person high, holding a clean bottle in one hand, the willow branches in the bottle were lifelike, the thin leaves were sprinkled, and the tips of the branches were slightly bent; With a hand, he has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but he is solemn and calm.
A yellow curtain hung behind the Buddha statue fell to the ground, covering the back half of the entire Buddha hall.
At this time, a master walked in from the side door, with a plain white robe and gray shoes and hats, giving people a peaceful feeling, and Li Tang looked at her fixedly.
Mrs. Shi's face had a flat expression, but with a slight smile, there were no waves in her eyes, her eyes were far-reaching, she couldn't see the end, she couldn't see what it was, but Li Tang had a palpitation for no reason, she didn't know what it was, she couldn't read it clearly, she couldn't tell it!
Many years later, she knelt under the Buddha in front of this hall, only to understand that at that glance many years ago, what she saw in Jingchen's eyes was something called "home".
"Mrs. Shi, my mother's health is not good today, I can't come, my second brother and Miss Li went up the mountain with me, and when I came, my mother asked me to say hello to Mrs. Shi, how are you doing these days?"
Bai Meixue's voice pulled Li Tang back from the end that Jingchen couldn't see, she was busy saluting, and smiled slightly: "The teacher is too good." ”
Jingchen nodded in response, and looked at Li Tang with four eyes, still unfazed on his face. looked at Bai Meixue: "Mrs. Lao is worried, and everything is the same as before." ”
Bai Shaojie also stepped forward to salute: "The teacher is too good." Jingchen nodded.
Bai Shaojie put down the bamboo basket, opened the lid, and took a few handfuls of fine sandalwood and a bamboo lamp oil prepared by Mrs. Bai.
Raised his hand to gently fan the flames, knelt under the futon, closed his eyes and silently prayed in his heart to bless the safety and health of the family, Li Tang also knelt aside, but he didn't know what to do, so he bowed three times with Bai Meixue.
Bai Shaojie pulled out the bamboo tube oil cloth stopper, poured some sesame oil into the lamp bowl, and stuffed the bamboo tube with sandalwood and placed it on the table next to the Buddha statue.
Bai Meixue and Li Tang stood up with each other, looking at each other and smiling; At this time, Bai Shaojie remembered something, and said to Li Tang: "Didn't you come to offer incense?" Where's your incense? ”
Li Tang grinned embarrassedly: "I... I forgot! I'll definitely remember to bring it next time. ”
Bai Meixue covered her mouth and smiled, Bai Shaojie glanced at her, and she was speechless. After the incense, out of the Buddha hall, Jingchen spoke:
"Miss Bai, let's eat some food on the mountain today!"
In this nunnery, no one cares about it except for the Bai family, and few people know, Jingchen offers Buddha in this nunnery, not for the expansion of the nunnery, nor for the vigorous incense, only one person is accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light, and does not please the world, so sincerely invited, but it is just a plain mouth.
Bai Meixue knew that Shi Tai was temperamental, and it was still early, so she was not in a hurry to go down the mountain, so she should go down: "Then we have to disturb Shi Taiqing's cultivation, can we do something?" ”
She is a warm daughter who makes people like it: "Then Miss Lawber will go to the backyard to help pick some vegetable seedlings." ”
