Chapter 34: Ascending

It is a little strange that nothing was found out in the end.

There are also crew members who chew their tongues in private, saying that Xu is the god of Nanhuai River who sees Miss Jiang's beauty, but he doesn't know how to express his admiration, so he wants to send her a few fish.

After being heard by Fang Xuan once, and after being severely reprimanded, it somehow reached Gu Chen's ears, and ordered someone to scold the crew for twenty canes, and after Jiang Fei heard about it, his heart was really sweet for a while.

Others say that it was a drunken fisherman who accidentally fell into the water, climbed up and found a room to rest, and accidentally dropped the fish into the clouds.

After all, the matter was over, Gu Chen didn't show his face the whole time, all of it was handled by Xiao Cheng, and he even scoffed at Jiang Heng's words such as "the ship escort is inappropriate, and I am worried about the safety of the prince".

"Such a trivial matter, my cousin is inevitably exaggerating, and this king knows it."

These are Gu Chen's original words.

They are all called "cousins", even so, in the end, it is because of Gu Chen's convenience, he is also the respect of the prince and the prince, and the Jiang family brothers and sisters are always not good at offending Gu Chen for "this" trivial matter, so it's okay.

Anyway, Jiang Fei was killed and didn't want to live in the previous house anymore, so he abandoned all the things in it and moved to the next place next to Jiang Heng.

Fang Xuan went to see it a few times, and saw that there was no furnishings in her house, so she instructed Wen Xi to move some from her, and asked Fang Ye to buy a lot of things to send while the boat was shopping for supplies and resting in Dafu City, including hairpin rings, silk and spices, and so on.

only said that the eldest sister was like a mother, and as a cousin, she didn't take good care of her, and she was ashamed of her aunt's entrustment, and she often talked to her.

Seeing that there are still five or six days to go to Changfeng City, Jiang Fei has also eased up, no longer suspicious, and usually comes out to walk around occasionally.

At this time, it is the end of August and the beginning of September, and the autumn is getting stronger, and the mountains along the way are covered with cascading pale yellow and dark yellow, which is very different from the south.

On this day, I happened to pass by Fengxiang Mountain in Hebei Province, and I saw a change in the foreground, showing a light crimson color, stretching far and near.

It happened that Gu Chen was going to stay in Hebei Mansion for a day, so Fang Xuan invited Jiang Heng and Jiang Fei, brought Fu Yu, and went to invite Xiao Cheng with sandalwood, and the group prepared to get off the boat the next day and go to the heights to enjoy the scenery.

Speaking of it in the evening, Jiang Heng asked the little girl Sanqi to bring some rice paper, pen and ink and other things, if you are interested, you can sketch a mountain scene, and then mention the poems, it is also interesting.

The Jiang family is a scholar, Jiang Jie has also learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry since she was a child, and she is known as a talent in Zhongnan Mansion.

Fang Xuan saw that it was rare for her to show her face, so she naturally wouldn't stop her, and listened to her instruct Leshui to prepare this arrangement and that, very positively.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning was slightly bright, seeing that it was a good climate in autumn, Fang Xuan got up lazily, dressed up by sandalwood, and didn't care very much, just when he was about to have breakfast, Fu Yu came over on time, and stayed here to eat with a shy face, listening to Sandalwood ask Fang Xuan if she wanted to prepare the piano, her eyes lit up, "Sister will still touch the piano?" ”

"No, it won't." Fang Xuan replied seriously, and said to Sandalwood, "No, just bring some tea and food to eat." ”

Sandalwood hesitated: "But didn't the cousin say that she wanted to hold a poetry party?" ”

Fang Xuan squinted at her, "Isn't it okay for the county lord to be a judge?" ”

"Huh?"

Fu Yu said: "That is, my sister is so elegant, how can she learn from those ordinary people, and she has to recite poems and make a show off when she has nothing to do." "If you want to play the piano, you can only play it in private, right?" ”

It turned out that she wanted her to play it to him alone.

Fang Xuan was amused, and glanced at him, "I haven't practiced the piano for a long time, and my skills are unfamiliar, it's not that I don't want to show off, but my talent is limited, and I don't want to be embarrassed." ”

"No, no, no." Fu Yu only wagged his tail behind him, "As long as my sister plays it, it is the fairy sound in the sky, and no one can compare to it." ”

"That's it, the county lord is obviously talented, but he doesn't like to show it, so it's not a shame! Sandalwood also wants to hear it. ”

"Good, good." Fang Xuan was so crying and laughing by the two of them that he couldn't cry or laugh, "That's it for you this time, when you stay in Changfeng, can the county lord secretly play it to you?" The appointed hour is almost up, and if you don't leave, it's too late. ”

"My sister said it herself!"

"The county lord said that the horse is difficult to chase." Sandalwood and Fu Yu looked at each other, and it was rare to have a tacit understanding.

"Got it, let's go."

Just as Wen Xi said back and forth that the Jiang family brothers and sisters had arrived, he called Qin Gan, and the five of them got off the boat to join the rest of the people.

Xiao Cheng came the latest, his face was tired, Fang Xuan secretly thought: I don't know which unlucky one the Shence Army went to scare last night, it is estimated that it was tossed until midnight, but he still didn't have a good rest, and he promised to accompany them to ascend, and now it is too late to regret it.

Jiang Yingying stepped forward, lowered her neck and saluted, shy and timid, not daring to raise her eyes to look at him, "Lord Xiao." ”

"Lord Duanning, Miss Jiang, Brother Jiang." Xiao Cheng didn't feel inappropriate, and returned the salute one by one.

So Fang Xuan and Jiang Wei and their maidservants rode in two carriages, and the man rode with them, without saying much.

Xiangfeng Mountain is not far away, but it will only take a quarter of an hour to arrive.

The mountain road is paved with stone steps, it is not difficult to walk, climb to the halfway point of the mountain only to find that there is a temple hidden between the red green of the mountains, it can not be seen from the outside, it is the time to climb high to enjoy the maple blossoms, the incense in the temple is quite acceptable, there are vendors selling incense candles and other things outside, and there are also old Bu who set up stalls to unsign.

"It's not strange." Jiang Hengdao, "Generally, the monks in the temple have their own unsigned, why is it different here?" ”

"You're from out of town, aren't you? No wonder it's not familiar. ”

happened to come out of the temple, wearing a green scarf, wearing a long robe, looking handsome and white, looking at it about seventeen or eighteen years old, words and deeds revealed a scholarly spirit.

He looked at Fang Xuan and his entourage's posture and bearing, either rich or expensive, but between the words was neither humble nor arrogant, he bowed and said with a smile: "A few people don't know, although Xiangfeng Mountain is not more famous than Lushan in Beijing, but it is still a little famous in the Hebei Mansion, this temple is called Hanyin Temple, it is the place where the Master of the Pure Space cut his hair and received the ordination, and here he is responsible for the interpretation of the sign, yes, after the Master of the Pure Space travels, there is no one in the temple to unsign. ”

It was the first time Fang Xuan had come here, and he couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard this.

Master Jingkong is the abbot of the royal temple Daxiangguo Temple, the Dharma is subtle and profound, and is worshiped by the world, such a small temple hidden in the deep mountains, it is actually the place where the master cut off the six roots of the dust, I am afraid few people know.

Sure enough, I only heard the scholar say: "Most of the people who know about this matter are local old people, if it weren't for an elder in my family who had led the practice in Hanyin Temple, he wouldn't have known." ”

That's interesting.

Fang Xuan smiled.
