Chapter 493: Misty Incense
The side hall is behind the side of the main hall of Ci'an Palace, and when Sanniang and Erniang walked to the side hall, the four monks had already arranged the venue.
Although it is a side hall, the main hall is also very spacious. In the center, a circular thick cushion with a diameter of about six or seven feet is laid, and four monks are sitting cross-legged on it, twisting Buddhist beads in their hands, closing their eyes and chanting words. There are also many strange magic weapons among the monks.
The grandmother who sent Erniang and Sanniang over, when they saw this battle, they also clasped their hands together, recited a Buddha name, and stood aside with their heads bowed and did not dare to disturb loudly.
Sanniang watched from the sidelines, and there seemed to be no clue from the expressions of several monks, and even Sanniang felt that it was a blasphemy to think of Wushen and the Wang family's housekeeper lady a few years ago at this time, which made her have a deep feeling of disgust with herself, and this feeling made her want to kneel down and ask the Buddha for forgiveness.
Just when Sanniang was trying to drive away this inexplicable emotion, she felt a sudden pain in her arm. Sanniang came back to her senses suddenly.
"Young lady, there is a problem here." Bai Lan's voice sounded in Sanniang's ears.
Sanniang subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but Bai Lan hurriedly whispered: "Young lady, don't inhale, that incense will make you unconscious." ”
Sanniang slowed down her breathing when she heard this, and she looked at the "incense" that Bai Lan said. In this side hall, in the corners of the left and right sides opposite the door, there is a bronze Sanskrit incense burner with a diameter of about two feet. A slightly cyan smoke spreads out of the openwork Sanskrit on the lid of the incense burner, but it smells no different from the sandalwood commonly used in Buddhist temples.
But Sanniang believes in Bai Lan's judgment, because of the original professional sound, Bai Lan is very sensitive to these things, and they have been trained in this area since childhood.
Sanniang looked around without a trace, and saw that everyone, including Erniang, was standing in place with their heads bowed reverently. Sanniang's psychology is a little hairy. However, thinking that Bai Lan was behind him and was not affected by the incense, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
At this time. The eldest of the four monks stopped chanting and said, "Amitabha, except for the two female benefactors. The rest of the people went to the back room and waited. When the poor monks pray, they should not be disturbed, and the Buddha will be defeated. ”
More than a dozen grandmothers and palace maids in the palace who were arranged by the Queen Mother heard this. He replied with a respectful "yes" without changing his face, and then walked to the inner room behind the side hall. Sanniang glanced at the inner room and found that there was smoke coming out of it, presumably it had been lit by the monks in advance.
In this way, only Erniang, Sanniang, Bai Lan and four monks were left in the originally full hall.
At this time, the other three monks also stopped chanting. One of them went to the inner chamber where the grandmothers went. However, the one named Wushen walked to the north wall of the hall and was enshrined next to the Buddha table, scooped two spoons of powdery things from a blue and white urn with a lid on the Buddha case and put them into the two tea bowls, and then poured the water from one of the teapots on the Buddha case into the tea bowls.
Then Monk Wushen used a small tea tray to hold the two tea bowls in front of Sanniang and the three of them. Monk Wushen saw that in addition to Erniang and Sanniang, Bai Lan was also there. couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, I wanted to say something, but my eyes turned on Bai Lan's face and I didn't say anything.
"Two ladies, please drink this bowl of fragrant ash tea that has been cast, and then the poor monk and a few senior brothers can perform secret techniques for the two ladies. The practice was blessed. ”
Sanniang looked down at the bowl that was served in front of her eyes, whether it was red or black, and I don't know what ingredients were added, and the hairs on her whole body stood up.
Compared with Sanniang's hesitation, Erniang had already reached out to pick up the tea bowl and drank it without saying a word.
Monk Wushen glanced at Sanniang, who was standing still, with some confusion, and the other two monks also looked over here. Sanniang reached out and picked up the tea bowl. Approaching his lips as if taking a sip, Monk Wushen glanced at Bai Lan, thought about it and walked to the Buddha case, probably wanting to pour another cup of tea for Bai Lan.
Sanniang glanced at Bai Lan, blinked, and then suddenly the tea bowl in her hand slipped and fell to the ground. Everyone looked at Sanniang, even Erniang, who was about to drink the tea dry, and her eyes seemed to be much clearer.
"Ouch-" Sanniang squatted down holding her stomach, her face painful.
"Young lady, what's wrong with you?" Bai Lan hurriedly held Sanniang to prevent her from slipping to the ground.
"I ...... I have a stomachache...... It hurts......" Sanniang clutched her stomach and cried out in pain.
Monk Wushen hurriedly put down the teapot in his hand and ran over: "Female benefactor, what's wrong with you?" The other two monks glanced at each other and walked over.
Sanniang said: "No, I don't know...... As soon as I drank the runic water, it hurt. ”
"How is that possible?" Wu Shen glanced at the older monk with a surprised expression.
The older monk frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Has the female benefactor used some medicine that can stop the pain before?" ”
Bai Lan nodded hurriedly: "My young lady was injured not long ago, and the doctor gave her some medicine that is said to be analgesic. ”
Several monks breathed a sigh of relief, but the older monk said: "I'm afraid that the medicine and this talisman water are a little conflicting, it will be fine, the female donor can rest assured." It's just that...... Today, I'm afraid I can't pray for the female benefactor. The monk looked regretful.
Sanniang said: "That's a pity, but maybe it's also providence." Sanniang stood up with Bai Lan, and her face looked a little better, "Fortunately, I drank less just now, and now it doesn't hurt so much, it seems that it is really a mixture." ”
Bai Lan said: "Young lady, since this is the case, the slave and maid will accompany you back." Don't drink this water anymore. ”
Sanniang nodded, and said with palpitations: "You're right, a few masters, I'm sorry." The latter sentence was addressed to the monk.
Several monks recited a Buddha name, and the older one said: "Next time the poor monks and others pray for the donor, the donor will leave first." ”
Wu Shen glanced at Bai Lan and said, "Then this female benefactor ......"
Bai Lan hurriedly shook her head and said: "My young master wants the slave and maid to stay with the young lady all the time, and the slave and maid must accompany the young lady back, otherwise let the young master know, the slave and maid ......" Bai Lan looked scared.
There was some disappointment on Goshen's face.
Sanniang thought about it, looked at Erniang and said, "Second sister, why don't you go back with me, forget it today." ”
Erniang was so troubled by Sanniang at this time, it was much more normal, and she pulled the corners of her mouth when she heard the words: "Third sister, it's your business that you don't have luck, why do you even want me to accompany you?" If I were to go like this, my mother would be upset. Erniang felt that Sanniang didn't have a good heart, and she couldn't ask for a child, so she couldn't ask for it.
Although Erniang did not have a round room with Shen Wei, what Shen Wei said that day still made her look forward to it. Shen Wei said that it was not time for her to get pregnant, and said that he would not let her wait too long.
Thinking of this, Erniang was even more disgusted by Sanniang's desire to pull her into the water.
Sanniang sighed in her heart, she felt that she must have pumped her brain, so she wanted to help Erniang. Just now, she just subconsciously said that from the standpoint of a woman.
"Second sister, since you don't go with me, then let it be." Hope you won't regret it. She has no obligation to be a savior, not to mention that her position is not right. A reminder is already considered to be benevolent and righteous.
Bai Lan helped Sanniang to walk outside the hall, and when the door was closed, Sanniang heard the monk's chanting sound in the hall again.
The people guarding the door were stunned when they saw Sanniang coming out.
Sanniang and Bai Lan walked to the Queen Mother's Palace.
Seeing that there was no one around, Sanniang asked, "That incense was miserated just now?" ”
Bai Lan thought for a while: "The slave maid can't understand it, but she thinks there is something wrong with that incense." "In their line of work, intuition can save lives a lot of the time.
"Just now he asked you if you have used painkillers or other drugs, presumably the incense is compatible with this kind of medicine. So they didn't dare to let you take it anymore because it didn't work. ”
Sanniang suddenly remembered something: "Why am I still conscious?" "When she first went in, she felt that something was wrong, but she also noticed it. But Erniang and they didn't feel it.
Bai Lan looked at Sanniang, reached out and untied a commonly worn purse from her waist, opened it and flipped through it, found a small thing like a snuffbox from it, spread it in the palm of her hand, and then looked at Sanniang with a smile and said, "Did the young lady smell this when she came out in the morning?" ”
Sanniang looked at the small pastel pocket bottle that was only the size of a thumb and was exquisitely made, thinking that Xuan Shao suddenly put this thing under her nose in the morning for her to smell, because the smell was very good, she smelled it for a while.
After asking Xuan Shao what it was, Xuan Shao said that it was a sachet given to her, and helped her put it in her purse.
“……”
Sachet......
She was happy for a long time, and felt that Xuan Shao, an ancient, was really romantic. From time to time, give small gifts to please her. Sanniang rolled her eyes in her heart.
"We will take this medicine with us if we have a task on weekdays, because it can relieve the incense, and the effect is very long, it is made by Imperial Doctor Jiang. But...... The bottles we use aren't that elaborate. ”
Bai Lan looked at the bottle that was obviously a trinket used by the boudoir woman, and smiled in her heart. She didn't expect her son-in-law to be such a person who could please women.
Seeing that she was about to arrive at the main hall of Ci'an Palace, Bai Lan asked, "Young lady, do you want to tell the Queen Mother about this matter?" The monks didn't know what they wanted to do, but they ...... Just drugged them, it must have been unkind. ”
