Chapter 67: Going Out
Yesterday and Xu Xin can be said to have talked for most of the night, Xu Lan is not in good spirits today, and when she gets up, she gets up from bed after a long time of Baizhu.
Yesterday, Xu Lan originally thought that her sister would leave after knowing what she wanted to know, but it turned out that Xu Lan still underestimated her sister.
Xu Xin was frightened recently, and she didn't find anyone to chat properly. Originally, she was closest to her sister and Xu Lan, but with so many things happening to Xu Lan, he always never had a chance early.
Yesterday, it was not easy to finally catch Xu Lan, and Xu Lan's spirit was also good, the two sisters actually talked for more than half the afternoon, but in the evening, Xu Xin had dinner in her house, and she was still very shameless, she was pestering Xu Lan and fell asleep in Xu Lan's room.
This class is very good, and on the second day, the two girls were called up by their own maids, and the two of them were able to hold a huge black circle under their eyes.
The two girls, after getting up and glancing at each other, fell into an eerie silence.
It's just that time doesn't wait for anyone, they have all agreed yesterday, Princess Xu is going to worship the Buddha today, naturally she can't break the contract, otherwise, if Princess Xu knows, why are the two girls in bad spirits, I'm afraid they will scold them to death.
After thinking about it for a while, the two girls could only reluctantly get up from the bed, with their eyes half-open, people have maids to dress up and dress you, and they are young people, so they hurry up and supplement their sleep.
No matter how unwilling they are, in the end, the two of them have already dressed themselves up, and the time has come, and the time agreed with Princess Xu, Meiyu method, the two of them can only go to see Princess Xu.
The two girls supported each other, and when they walked to Princess Xu's yard, Princess Xu had already cleaned up, he did not wear the previous clothes today, but wore a cyan dress, generally speaking, this kind of cyan clothes are extraordinarily provocative, and if you are not careful, you will dress like a green onion, or a cabbage, but this dress is particularly suitable for Princess Xu, not only delicate and beautiful, but there is another kind of temperament that is as light as a chrysanthemum.
Xu Lan has always been the most well-behaved, as soon as she saw that Princess Xu had changed her clothes, she hurriedly rushed up and said to Princess Xu: "Mother is wearing this dress today, it looks extraordinarily good, it makes my mother, she is twenty years younger!" When Xu Wangfei heard this, he couldn't help laughing, nodded Xu Lan's nose and said: "You bad girl, how can it be so terrifying, it's just that this dress looks more tender, I was embarrassed to wear it at the time, it was really the maid next to me, who said that this dress was beautiful, so I put it on."
When Xu Lan heard this, she hurriedly said: "Fortunately, fortunately, mother, fortunately, you listened to the words of the maid next to you, this dress is really very good-looking, in the end, mother, you are still wearing those colors of clothes, extraordinarily delicate, a few points."
Xu Xin also said to the side: "This time my sister is right, this dress is really suitable for my mother, I see, in the coming year, my mother will make a few more clothes of this color, which will look particularly good."
Princess Xu couldn't help but be a little happy when she heard the two girls praise each other, but she still said with a straight face: "It's not big or small, how can you talk about your mother so casually, you can wear clothes of this color once in a while, it's just that, if you wear it often, you will be laughed at by people for being unstable."
Xu Lan really didn't think much when she heard this, and said: "How can it be, I look at this dress, after wearing it, it looks good, and it is not frivolous, and the cyan clothes have a sense of stability, those who say it badly are in the extreme mother!" ”
When Princess Xu heard this, she was amused again, and said: "Okay, okay, it's your mouth, it's your mouth, you can speak the most, no one can say anything about you!" Shut up, it's not too early for you, let's go quickly, I don't know, you two girls, it took so long to come over, and I'm an old man, and they've all been cleaned up! ”
Hearing Princess Xu say this, Xu Lan and Xu Xin couldn't help but feel a little weak, stuck out their tongues, but didn't dare to speak more.
Ganye Temple, sitting in the north and facing south, is a whole strip-shaped courtyard, the whole layout is regular, the form is simple, and the most noticeable thing is that at the gate, there are a batch of stone horses on the left and right sides, the size is about the same as the real horse, but their appearance is gentle and tame.
When Xu Lan first came to Ganye Temple, she was still very young, and then when she was older, she followed Xu Wangye to the border. Therefore, this time, it can also be counted as the first time I have come to this Ganye Temple.
It is said that this Ganye Temple, or once Empress Wu and the emperor knew each other, and it is precisely because of this that the Ganye Temple is more and more known to people, and later, I don't know when it started, some people actually said that this Ganye Temple, seeking marriage is the best.
The first time Xu Lan heard about this time, when she was still a child, her curiosity was very serious, and she always pestered Princess Xu, asking her if this Ganye Temple was the same as what people said, and she asked for a special marriage.
At that time, Princess Xu didn't answer this question, but said with a smile: "This kind of thing, or don't be utilitarian, sincerity is spiritual, if you really treat the Buddha with gratitude, then, even if it is in a slope, it is also useful, but if this person does not believe in the Buddha at all, even if it is a really good temple, it is useless." ”
At that time, Xu Lan was still young, and she couldn't understand what Princess Xu wanted to say, but felt that Princess Xu was really playing by herself, and she was angry for several days.
It's just that now that she has grown up, Xu Lan slowly understands that this Princess Xu is actually very right, in this world, the utilitarianism is too heavy, and the Buddha can't test it.
The only thing the Buddha can protect is his own followers.
But these are all later words, just fragments of memory, but at the moment, Xu Lan is attracted by another thing.
He narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at the person in front of him before turning his head and saying to Princess Xu: "Mother, look at that person, isn't that Cui Zhen'er, the daughter of Cui Wangfu?" ”
When Princess Xu heard Xu Lan say this, she couldn't help but perk up, raised her head, took a careful look at the front, and then said, "No, that one is really the daughter of Cui Wangfu." ”
Cui Zhen'er and Xu Lan before can be said to be good friends, he even helped Xu Lan to skillfully mix into his home from the outside, he finally confirmed that the person in front of him was Cui Zhen'er, his heart was very happy, and he hurriedly took Xu Wangfei's hand and said: "Mother, mother, then let's let the carriage go quickly and catch up with Cui Zhen'er, so I haven't seen her for a long time." ”
As for Princess Xu, he has always encouraged himself, and the two daughters and the daughters of the capital interact with each other, so they naturally nodded and said, "Then since this is the case, let the carriage be faster." ”
And the coachman outside, when he heard that the lady and lady inside had already said this, naturally had some spectrum in his heart, and immediately sped up.
After a while, Xu Lan and the others had already caught up with Cui Zhen'er, not to say how fast their carriage was, but Cui Zhen'er in front of them was stopped.
When they walked and looked closer, Xu Lan realized that it was actually a little beggar who stopped them.
The little beggar looked very pitiful, ragged, yellow and thin, needless to say, the most terrible thing was that this little beggar, one of his hands was gone.
But this beggar is still young, and no one takes care of it, and the wound can only fall out of the way, and in the eyes of people, it hurts very much, and I can't help but feel a little pity for this little beggar.
Since they all came to Ganye Temple to pray for blessings, naturally no one would drive this little beggar away in front of the Buddha.
And the people who came along the way are not poor people, and the people who received them in Ganye Temple are all princes and nobles in the capital, and they must not lack these few money, so at the moment, not only Xu Lan and them, Cui Zhen'er and them, but also a few noble ladies passing by next to them also took out money and rewarded this little beggar.
And when the reward was being made, Cui Zhen'er in the carriage naturally found Xu Lan, she called Xu Lan happily, Xu Lan looked over with a smile, and what she saw was Cui Zhen'er's bright smiling face.
Maybe it should be Mrs. Cui in the carriage, Cui Zhen'er turned around and said a few words to the people in the carriage, and then Cui Zhen'er came out with a happy face and said, "Xu Lan, now that you have arrived at the gate of Ganye Temple, it's time to get off the car and take a walk, let's go down and walk together." ”
Xu Lan naturally agreed, he asked his mother with his eyes, Princess Xu smiled and nodded, and then Xu Lan got off the carriage with joy and went with Cui Zhen'er, of course, there was also Xu Xin, who was shy and was pulled over by Xu Lan.
The three girls are all at the age of flowers, and they are green and moving. When walking on the road, it is also a very bright scenery, and there are already several teenagers on the road, looking at the three girls who can't even walk.
Because the three of them were still young, the adults behind them were slowly moving forward, but the three of them took the lead and entered this Ganye Temple in advance.
Ganye Temple is experienced in the end, although it is said that only three girls have been seen, but they must also know that there are adults behind them, so there is no embarrassment for these three girls, and there are monks who come to win the girls at the moment, and go to the front hall to pray for incense.
