Chapter 5 Incense on the Buddhist Temple

Not long after dawn on the second day, a noise was heard outside the door of Yun Yao's boudoir.

"Sister, sister, it's already dawn, hurry up" Ling Zhu outside the door urged. Since Ma Jia's family agreed to Ling Zhu to go to Tanzhe Temple yesterday, Ling Zhu was extremely excited before going to bed last night, and he fell asleep very late. Ling Zhu woke up early this morning and urged Ma Jiashi together. Ma Jia's family was so troubled by him that he asked Ling Zhu to call Yun Yao to get up, so that he could coax this little ancestor away.

It didn't take long for Yun Yao to wake up by Ling Zhu, "Chuncao, come in and freshen up for me." Yun Yao had no choice but to get up early, lest the little ancestor be unhappy.

Ling Zhu's extremely excited expression made Yun Yao smile. Now Ling Zhu is still a six-year-old child, and when he grows up, he is extremely serious, how can he still be lively now.

"Okay, Ling Zhu is good, my sister will be fine soon." Yun Yao hurriedly coaxed her younger brother.

After Yun Yao and Ling Zhu came to the main courtyard, Ling Zhu looked left and right: "Big brother hasn't gotten up yet, lazier than me" Ling Zhu stretched out his milk voice and was extremely cute, while accusing the eldest brother of laziness. Ma Jiashi heard the laughter and scolded: "You little ghost, your eldest brother got up a long time ago, and he went to say goodbye to your Ama just now." ”

Ling Zhu was not annoyed after hearing this, and grinned. After Wu Lu and Ling Tai came, everyone finished breakfast and took a carriage to Tanzhe Temple.

After coming to Tanzhe Temple, Ma Jiashi asked Yun Yao to follow her to worship the Bodhisattva, and Lingtai Lingzhu was welcomed by the guest monk to the guest's special room to rest. Yun Yao looked at the Bodhisattva in front of her and thought in her heart: I don't know which god and Buddha brought her to this world twice, no matter what, she has to live this life well. Live up to this opportunity of rebirth.

Seeing Yun Yao's pious expression, Ma Jiashi silently prayed to the Bodhisattva: May the Bodhisattva bless the daughter of the believer with peace and well, and everything goes well.

After Ma Jiashi and Yun Yao worshiped the Bodhisattva, Ma Jiashi walked to the place in the temple to draw lots for the men and women, and the monk next to the "donor, you want to draw lots" asked Ma Jiashi.

"Master, I want to ask for a marriage lottery for my daughter." Ma Jia's family is worried about her daughter's future.

"Donor, please," the monk handed the sign holder to Yun Yao, "The donor just shakes out a stick." ”

Yun Yao took the sticker, took out a stick, and said: Marriage is destined, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm.

This inexplicable signature made Yun Yao unable to understand, the first half of the sentence was barely a good meaning, and the second half of the sentence and the first half of the sentence were not connected at all. The two sentences seem to be forced together.

Ma Jiashi took the signature and read it and handed it to the monk, "Master, what does this signature mean?" Ma Jiashi asked.

The monk took the sign and looked at it, hey, when did this sign appear in the sign, but it was a good sign. "Donor, this is a sign, presumably the donor's daughter will have a good marriage."

Ma Jiashi let go of his worries after hearing this. She thought that her daughter's entry into the palace draft this time would finally have a good omen. "Thank you, master" Ma Jiashi and Yun Yao walked out of the hall after thanking them, "Yao'er, Eniang wants to listen to the lecture of Huizhen in the temple, you little girl don't have to listen, why don't you go and Lingzhu Lingtai and take a few people to enjoy the scenery in the temple." Ma Jiashi said to Yun Yao as he walked.

Yun Yao happily agreed, and took Chuncao to the guest room, where Ling Zhu jumped up and down like a monkey who couldn't sit still. Ling Tai was also at ease while drinking tea and reading a book. Ling Zhu saw Yun Yao come in and complain to her, "Sister, you see that the eldest brother ignores me and only reads there." ”

Yun Yao laughed when she heard this, it must have been Ling Zhu who had annoyed Ling Tai. "Okay, is it okay for my sister to take you out to play, don't take your eldest brother." Yun Yao coaxed Ling Zhu.

Ling Tai was not annoyed when he heard it, put down the book in his hand and said, "Yao'er, you bring a few more people so as not to be disturbed." ”

After Yun Yao thanked her brother, she took Ling Zhu out to play.

Ling Zhu and Yun Yao are now in the temple's Longtan, where a thousand-year-old tree grows. This is the origin of the name of Tanzhe Temple. However, this name is called by the people. Tanzhe Temple has a long history, and the people of Beijing have the saying: "There is Tanzhe Temple first, and then there is Beijing City". The official name of the current Tanzhe Temple is Jiafu Temple, which is the name given when it was first built in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the name of the temple has been changed several times, and the original name is used again. After another twenty-six years, the name of the Buddhist temple was changed to Xiuyun Temple by Kangxi, from 'Yun Wuxin to go out of Xiu, the bird is tired of flying and knows to return', but the folk still call it Tanzhe Temple.

Yun Yao and Ling Zhu can also be regarded as admiring it.

Ling Zhu was tired of playing, and he stayed with Yun Yao in the small pavilion next to him to rest. Ling Zhu suddenly showed a hesitant expression, "Sister, are you going to participate in the draft this year?" ”

Yun Yao was stunned, "Well, who did you listen to?" Yun Yao looked at Ling Zhu.

"The maids are talking," Ling Zhu replied. "Sister, I heard them say that you should have participated in the next draft, why is it early now." Ling Zhu was a little unhappy.

"Originally, the draft was in March, but the master of the palace ordered it to be postponed to August. I was thirteen years old. Yun Yao touched the top of Ling Zhu's head, "Sister is going to the draft, will you miss your sister then." ”

"Sister, can't you push it to the next draft? Everyone else's family is older than you to go to the draft. Ling Zhu asked a little sadly.

"Ling Zhu, don't be sad, the draft is stipulated by the imperial court, and we will change it." Yun Yao comforted. "Even after the draft, I may not be able to pass, and if I lose the draft, I can continue to accompany Ling Zhu."

"No, my sister is the best, how can she be defeated!" Ling Zhu danced excitedly. "If my sister loses, it must be someone else's bad eyes."

"Haha," Yun Yao laughed at Ling Zhu's words. "Ling Zhu, you're so cute." Listening to Ling Zhu's childish comfort, Yun Yao's mood was extremely good. Although Ling Zhu didn't know that Yun Yao would be elected to the harem if she didn't lose the election, and she might never see each other again in this life, Yun Yao knew that Ling Zhu just wanted her sister to be the best.

"Liang Jiugong, you said that if I don't choose her sister into the harem, is it not a bad look." A pair of master and servant not far from the pavilion were also discussing the words of Yun Yao's sister and brother.

"It is the blessing of that woman that the master chose her into the harem, how can it be that the master's eyes are not good." Liang Jiugong replied respectfully on the side. Liang Jiugong thought that this show girl was really lucky, and she actually attracted the attention of the master, after all, the emperor said that she was selected into the harem, so it was a sure thing that this show girl would enter the palace.

"Liang Jiugong, go find out where she belongs to?" Kangxi commanded.

When Liang Jiugong heard this, he hurriedly found a hidden guard nearby to check. After a while, the guard came over and said something in Liang Jiugong's ear. Liang Jiugong hurriedly came over and told Kangxi: "Master, the slave ordered someone to check and said that it was from Niu Hulu's family." ”

Kangxi groaned and asked, "Is it the daughter of the Kubilong family?" "Kangxi just came out of the palace, and he suspected that someone wanted to pass the news outside the palace. Moreover, he also has a daughter of the same age, and Kangxi suspects that he wants to send another daughter to the palace.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly said: "It also has something to do with Lord Kubilong, and that sister's and brother's Ama is Wu Lu with a yellow flag." ”

Kangxi knew which family they were when he heard it, and Wu Lu also had some impressions, there were some scholars in the Eight Banners, such as Nalan Xingde, and although Wu Lu's sinology was not very good, he was also one of the best in the Eight Banners. Wu Lu was appointed by Kangxi not long ago as a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, but Ji Bilong rejected Wu Lu with righteousness and awe. Wu Lu and Kubilong are barely cousins, and before the founding of the country, Yidu's uncle Samuhatu was Wu Lu's grandfather.

However, as far as he knew, the Curb Bilong vein looked down on Wu Lu and them, and felt that their official position was obtained from the light of Yidu. If Kangxi wants to say, this is too extreme. Although it is not good for the uncle to defect to the nephew, they are not the main ones who are not servants, although they are somewhat stained, but they are all of the same clan, and they are not slaves. Kangxi also heard about Concubine Niu Hulu in the palace, and she didn't look down on Wu Lu and them. It seems that it should not be deliberately designed.

Kangxi waved his hand after hearing this, "That's it, it's time to go and talk to the master." ”
