Chapter 19: White Light Temple
"Emperor Xie!" Su Jinnian saluted in a proper manner, and walked out of the main hall with two jars of Yanjin plums in his hand, in a very good mood.
At this time, Su Wenmei had already accompanied the Queen Mother and walked on the palace road back to the house with Bing'er. When she saw the officials of the Scattered Dynasty, she hurriedly stood aside, folded her hands around her waist and made a small salute.
Zhuang Zhenxiao recognized Su Wenmei at a glance, she came to the Qianzheng Hall to intercede for General Gu that day, and she had seen her once. He half-squinted his eyes and walked over slowly: "You are Su Wenmei?" ”
"Yes." Su Wenmei was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied.
"Miss Su is ingenious and extraordinary. Originally, it was for the little girl to make a wedding dress, but now it seems that the little girl made a wedding dress for Miss Su. He looked at her half-squinted: "What a wonderful life!" It's so wonderful! Even the old man has to admire Miss Su's methods! ”
Zhuang Zhenxiao's voice was not loud, but it all fell on the ears of the officials who came and went, and many people came over to watch the excitement.
Today, Lord Zhuang's words, the little girl didn't understand the meaning. It's just that Master Zhuang has been an official for many years, and he must also know the four words of indecency. There are countless officials who have been degraded because of improper speech, and Master Zhuang is outstanding, and he still hopes to abide by it, and he will not follow in the footsteps of the unfortunate. ”
"You yellow-haired girl, are you teaching the old man a lesson?" Zhuang Zhenxiao said, approaching Su Wenmei step by step: "What qualifications do you have to preach here?!" ”
"Master Zhuang!" Su Jinnian saw this scene and stepped forward: "Lord Zhuang has a high position and a large number of adults, why bother with the little girl?" If someone who doesn't know sees it, I'm afraid they will misunderstand Lord Zhuang! ”
Zhuang Zhenxiao glanced at Su Jinnian, didn't speak again, and left.
Su Wenmei stood up and looked at the man in front of her who was freeing up the siege. He nodded to himself, smiled gently, and hurried away.
"Miss." Bing'er said: "Does the young lady know that son?" ”
Su Wenmei shook her head, she didn't know.
Today, the sun is very strong, the weather is very warm, and the flowers on the mountain must be in full bloom. For no reason, Su Wenmei suddenly wanted to go to Qingqing. So as soon as she got out of the palace gate, Su Wenmei didn't look back at the house, and took a sedan chair to the nearby Baiguang Temple to play. Only Bing'er and the groom followed along the way, but it was also clean.
Outside the White Light Temple, there is a mountain of peach blossoms, which are blooming luxuriantly at this time. After entering the mountain gate, Su Wenmei got off the sedan chair and asked the sedan chair driver to wait outside, and she and Bing'er walked on the mountain road to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains.
On the mountain road is a blue stone step, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and the bluestone slabs are trampled smoothly. Outside the White Light Temple, the petals are sprinkled and very beautiful.
"Miss!" Bing'er walked behind and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful! When the benel smells, the air is fragrant. ”
Su Wenmei was in a good mood, so she let her laugh and make trouble.
After walking for a long time, I saw two wide-open vermilion lacquer gates, which had a little rust on them. In the Baiguang Temple, people who watch come in and out, so it is not lively.
"Miss!" Bing'er sweated on her forehead because of climbing the mountain, and she smiled: "Miss go in and go to the pillar incense!" The slave maid heard from the people of Gufu that the Bodhisattva of Baiyin Temple was very effective. ”
"Okay." Su Wenmei looked at Bing'er: "What do you want to ask for Bing'er?" ”
Bing'er's eyes purred, she thought about it, and looked at Su Wenmei: "Miss, Bing'er has nothing to ask for." If there is a request, it means that Miss is well, and Bing'er can always be by Miss Miss's side. ”
Su Wenmei smiled, Bing'er had been following her for a long time, and her mouth was getting sweeter and sweeter.
"Donor." Su Wenmei was dressed in gold-rimmed white clothes, her face was like a peach blossom, and she was also very eye-catching in the crowd. A little Taoist priest saw her from a distance, so he walked over to her, raised one hand on his chest and saluted her: "Spring is high-spirited, people are happy, the donor enters the temple to burn pillar incense!" ”
"The tired little master led the way." As she spoke, she followed the little master into the temple gate.
As soon as you enter the main hall, the smell of incense is even stronger, the two sides of the main hall are hung with the scriptures with red edges in gold, and dozens of Taoist leaders sit on the futons on both sides of the main hall, and their hands are pinched on their knees, reciting scriptures.
Su Wenmei walked up to the main hall, picked up a stick of incense and lit it on the candle burning next to her, and then turned over and knelt on the futon in front of the main hall, and said silently in her heart: "The Bodhisattva is above, the believer Su Wenmei, I wish to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors as soon as possible; Second, I wish to be safe and smooth in the palace; Three wishes to get what they want, willing to get one heart, white head will not give up. ”
After burning incense and praying, the little master was still on the side: "Can the donor be interested in measuring marriage and breaking good fortune?" ”
Su Wenmei remembered her unsolved life experience, and when she entered the palace, she didn't know whether it was good or bad, so she spoke: "I still have to bother the little master to lead the way." ”
When I entered the side hall, I could clearly feel that there were very few people. Bing'er was also stopped by the little master. A white-bearded old Taoist priest sat on the futon in the side hall, his figure was slightly thin, quite a bit of fairy wind bones. At this time, he put his hands on his knees, and he didn't open his eyes: "Jingxin, but someone is coming?" ”
"Yes." Jingxin spread out one hand, held it in front of his chest, saluted the old Taoist, and went out.
Su Wenmei knelt opposite the Taoist: "Su Wenmei has seen the Taoist. ”
The old Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, looked at Su Wenmei in front of him, and smiled: "The donor's face is full of red light, people have happy events, and good things are coming soon!" ”
Su Wenmei smiled and didn't answer, the old Taoist priest took a bamboo slip beside him: "Donor, draw lots." ”
She shook the bamboo slip with her ten fingers, and drew the top numerology lot, only to see that the sign was engraved with five elements of gossip and a poem: "Thousands of sails on the side of the sinking boat, ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree."
Su Wenmei was puzzled, and handed the sign to the Taoist: "Daoist, the little girl doesn't understand the meaning of this sign, and she hopes that the Taoist will give you some pointers." ”
"Haha." The old Taoist smiled, raised his hand and touched his goatee: "The girl is rich and noble, and she can always turn evil into good fortune when she encounters trouble." Looking at the girl in the future, don't panic and despair when you encounter difficulties, there will always be a solution. ”
Su Wenmei chatted with the old Taoist priest for a long time, but when asked about her life experience, the old Taoist chief looked secretive: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" But the girl don't have to worry, when the time comes, the girl will naturally know. ”
Su Wenmei nodded, and before leaving, she stood up: "Haven't asked the old Taoist for the name yet?" ”
"The poor road is dust-free, and the girl will often come to Baiguang Temple for a walk if she is upset in the future. The pure place of the Daomen hopes to bring peace to the girl. ”
"Thank you for being dust-free." She learned from the mirror heart just now, saluted the Taoist chief, and then left the temple.
The sun was shining along the way, and the mood was very good.
When he returned to Gu's house, he saw Cheng Qian sitting on a stone chair in front of Gu's house, drinking tea and basking in the sun.
As soon as he saw Su Wenmei's carriage back to the city, he stepped forward: "Where have you been?" I've been waiting for you for half an hour. ”
Su Wenmei was a little surprised, she lowered her eyes and smiled, and got out of the carriage to salute: "I heard that the spring light is very good, so I went to Baiguang Temple." The emperor is looking for me, but what's the matter? ”
Before she knelt down, Cheng Qian helped her up: "In the future, outside the palace, you don't have to salute, it's very troublesome." He continued: "The Zhongwu Hou family, this morning I came to ask for a decree, begging me to write you into the Su family tree, I have already explained to the queen mother, you can also go to the Zhongwu Hou family with me." ”
The Marquis of Zhongwu? Su Wenmei was stunned.
He took a breath and took her green hand, "You can go with me today." ”
"In such a hurry? I...... Do you want to change your clothes and go again? Su Wenmei said, quietly trying to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't.
She blushed: Bing'er and the people of Gu Mansion are all watching.
"That's good." Cheng Qian looked at her with a smile: "Very good-looking." ”
So Su Wenmei and Cheng Qian got on the sedan chair and went to Su's house.
I usually think it's a sedan chair, but now I ride with Cheng Qian, but it seems a little narrow. Su Wenmei leaned her head on the side of the sedan chair, lifted the curtain on it to breathe, and pretended to look at the scenery.
Cheng Qian looked at her like this, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled: "You're about to enter the palace, why are you still shy?" Su Wenmei looked at him with some disgust, and he held Su Wenmei's hand: "I don't like your cold appearance, you look good when you smile." ”
Su Wenmei smiled and leaned towards Cheng Gan, Cheng Gan's hand was raised and wrapped around her waist.
The carriage traveled for a while and arrived outside the gate of Sufu. Cheng Qian and Su Wenmei got off the sedan chair, and he took her hand and walked towards Su Fu. At this time, the people of Su Mansion had already packed up and were waiting in front of the gate of the mansion early. Seeing that the emperor was coming in person, they knelt down and saluted one after another.
"Old Madam Su doesn't have to be polite." Cheng Qian stepped forward and helped up the gray-haired old man kneeling at the front: "Since Miss Su's clan is private, that is Cheng Qian's elder, and Cheng Qian should respect it." ”
Su Wenmei stepped forward and made a small salute: "Little girl Su Wenmei, I have seen the old lady." With tears in her eyes, the old lady looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in front of her.
"Wen Mei, it's time for you to change your name to grandma!" Cheng Qian reminded.
“...... Grandma ......" Su Wenmei hesitated for a moment, and Wu Nong called out softly.
When Mrs. Su heard this, as if she had been waiting for a long time, she held Su Wenmei's hand very comfortably: "Hey~".
Everyone present laughed, and Mrs. Su led Su Wenmei and introduced her to Sufu's family.
She looked over one by one, and Su Jinnian, who was outside the gate of the Qianzheng Hall that day, was her cousin. He was standing in the crowd, looking at her with a smile on his face, and nodding at her.
That day, in the teahouse next to the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop, the lady brought by the old lady was her eldest aunt, and she also had a relationship, and Su Wenmei recognized her at a glance.
There are also two cousins who are married, and they also brought their husbands back to Gufu at this moment to meet Su Wenmei.
General Zhongwuhou's name is Su Da, who is his eldest uncle, and he is at the border at the moment, not in Su Mansion.
Cheng Qian also accompanied her to meet them one by one, memorized the family tree, stayed in Su Mansion for dinner before coming out, reluctantly said goodbye to Su Wenmei, and returned to the palace.
And Su Wenmei politely refused Mrs. Su's gracious stay and returned to Gu's mansion.
When I returned to Gu's house, it was not early, but when I entered the courtyard gate, I saw the eldest sister of the Gu family waiting for her in the courtyard.
"Big sister." As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she shouted to the eldest sister of the Gu family.
"Wen Mei, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The eldest sister of the Gu family also saw her, stood up and walked towards her: "I heard that you are going to enter the palace, I specially came to see you off." ”
