Chapter 159: The Old Man (2nd Watch)
Baiyun Temple is outside the city gate of Dezhou, and it is an ancient temple built by the mountains and rivers.
This ancient temple is full of incense, and there is a market at the foot of the mountain, which is also the favorite place for pilgrims to go after finishing the Buddha.
Hua Jin has heard about this place for a long time, but because she has always been an atheist, she has not been here since she took charge of the second room home and had a certain degree of freedom.
For example, today, she will pray for her brother's incense, but she believes that if her brother achieves fame, it will be the result of his hard work.
Along the way, Hua Tong chatted with her in the carriage, but did not say anything important, and the carriage quickly went out of the city gate and came to the foot of the mountain where the Baiyun Temple was located.
Hua Jin helped Hua Tong get out of the carriage, and looked up, on the one hundred and eight Hanbai stone steps, hidden in the green mountains and clouds is the Baiyun Temple.
Under the faint blue sky and white clouds, the eaves of the four corners of the hall loom, but the copper bells hanging on the eaves of the corridor could be heard in the distance, which made people's hearts unconsciously quiet.
Hua Tong folded his hands and said very reverently: "The Bodhisattva of Baiyun Temple is really effective, and listening to Master Huaixin's lectures can always make people feel stunned." My mother brought me here to pray for blessings, and the next year I married into the royal palace. Now, I hope that the Bodhisattva here will fulfill one more wish of mine. ”
People are always in this state of mind, it is easy to reveal the most true feelings and thoughts, but this princess sister who seems to have everything going well and infinite scenery, what other unfulfilled wishes?
Hua Jin held back his thoughts, looked at the shoulder behind him, and asked softly, "Big sister, is she still sitting on her shoulder when she is recovering from her body?" ”
Hua Tong shook his head at Hua Jin with a smile, "Only when you go up on foot can you show your sincerity." Over the years, the eldest sister has never done anything for your brothers and sisters in the capital, and today I also let the eldest sister sincerely ask for a good future for Brother Chen. ”
After that, she patted Hua Jin's hand again, "Brother Chen likes to take the imperial examination, let him try it, if it doesn't work in the future, there will be a prince." ”
This is the first time that the princess's sister has mentioned this princess's brother-in-law in front of her.
Will he take care of his brother?
This temptation is not small!
Hua Jin didn't answer, but helped her arm, "Big sister, let's go up." ”
Hua Tong didn't say anything more, and walked up the ladder with Hua Jin.
After more than ten steps, she withdrew her hand and let Liuli support her, and also said to Hua Jin: "Fifth sister, you can also be supported by the maid next to you, so as to save some effort." ”
Hua Jin saw that fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, and she still wanted to come here when her body was so poor.
"Five girls." Just as he was looking down and thinking, Hua Jin heard an extremely familiar voice.
Hua Jin was overjoyed, followed the voice, and looked at the person who was smiling brightly on the other side, "Du Niangzi is really you?" ”
"Yes, fifth girl, I didn't expect you to remember me, the embroiderer who only taught you embroidery for a few days?" Du Niangzi is still the same as before, speaking without speed or slowness, and her attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Didn't Du Niangzi go to Beijing, why did she come back so soon?"
"The competition in the embroidery village in the capital is too fierce, so I came back."
Hua Jin looked at Du Niangzi again, and seeing her leisurely smile and confident temperament, she didn't look like a person who would retreat easily.
But since Du Niangzi didn't say anything, Hua Jin didn't ask anymore, "Du Niangzi also came to Baiyun Temple to offer incense today?" ”
Du Niangzi nodded and shook her head, "The little novice guarding the door said that there are nobles coming today, and the temple is temporarily closed to the public. ”
Having said this, Hua Jin heard the big sister next to him cough lightly.
Seeing the old man Du Niangzi, Hua Jinzhi really almost forgot the noble man beside her.
She deliberately looked at Hua Tong with a look of overjoy, "Big sister, is today's Baiyun Temple only open to us?" ”
Hua Tong bowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth naturally showed a smug look, "I took the prince's name yesterday and sent someone to inform the temple in advance." ”
didn't look at Du Niangzi, "If it's someone that the fifth sister values, it doesn't hurt to bring it in." ”
"Who is this?" Du Niangzi crossed Hua Jin and looked at Hua Tong.
Hua Jin introduced: "This is my eldest sister, you are the princess of Su. ”
After she finished saying this, Hua Tong's eyes and eyebrows had a haughty look that could not be hidden.
Some people are obsessed with rights, and naturally some people don't care, all the pilgrims from the temple here are here, Du Niangzi stepped forward and gave a slight blessing, "I've seen the princess." "Simple four words, neither humble nor arrogant.
Hua Jin really liked this Du Niangzi more and more, so he said: "Since the eldest sister said so, Du Niangzi will go with me." ”
Du Niangzi smiled, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
The group went up the mountain and entered the Baiyun Temple, lit the lamp and worshiped the Buddha.
Hua Tong also had to go to the lottery to untie the lot, and arranged for the abbot of Baiyun Temple to give her a lecture, and Hua Jin invited Du Niangzi to the back mountain to see the stele forest.
Hua Tong did not forget to instruct: "Since there are no outsiders in this Baiyun Temple today, you can go with confidence, remember to come back before lunch." Your aunt has already ordered us a table of food. ”
Hua Jin bowed and raised his lips with a smile, "Big sister, don't worry." ”
After speaking, he took the white peach and Du Niangzi to the back stele forest.
At this time, the sun has already shown its head, and the faint light shines on the grass that has just emerged on the hillside, and the eyes are as clear as a picture scroll, which makes people's hearts open up.
Hua Jin couldn't help but ask Du Niangzi beside her, "What are your plans to come back this time?" Do you still want to go back to Xiuzhuang? ”
Du Niangzi said very calmly: "I just came back, I haven't thought about this." But there is a craft in hand, and I can't always go hungry. ”
"If Du Niangzi hasn't found an errand yet, why don't you come to my house on an errand?"
"With the five girls?"
"Teach the sisters in the family to learn embroidery, and you can also take some embroidery work back to do it in your spare time, which is not less than earning in the embroidery village."
Du Niangzi immediately bent down and smiled gracefully, "It's naturally good if you can follow a master like the fifth girl." ”
Hua Jin stretched out his hand to help her, and the two of them laughed and walked to the depths of the stele forest unconsciously.
"Isn't the Baiyun Temple open to the public today? Why does it seem that there is a person on the other side of the stele tower? ”
Hua Jin followed Du Niangzi's gaze and looked over, and sure enough, he saw a figure standing in front of the stele engraved with scriptures.
The stele towers that have some traces of time are like monuments standing proudly, but the proud and independent figure of the young man in Xuanyi next to him seems to be more upright than these steles.
Why is Xuanfei here?
As Du Niangzi said, isn't today's Baiyun Temple closed doors?
Although she had no doubt that he definitely had the ability to come and go freely here.
Did she come to find herself?
Hua Jin slightly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a seemingly nonchalant smile......
