Chapter 26: Incense

Wu Yuan read a medical book all night last night, and he didn't know when he fell asleep, but at this time, he was woken up from his sleep by Chun Tao.

"Miss, get up quickly, Miss, I'm going to go to the temple with the old lady to make a vow today, hurry up, if it's too late, the old lady should blame the miss."

Wu Yuan reluctantly came out of the warm quilt, Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward to serve Wu Yuan to change clothes, and Lilac brought warm water, twisted the handkerchief, and respectfully handed it to Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan took the handkerchief, put it on his face, stretched his waist lazily, and sighed, "Hey, your young lady is still sleepy!"

"My good young lady, let's just sneak a little snak in the carriage later." Chun Tao pursed her lips and snickered.

"Lilac and Aunt Chun Tao will go to the temple with me, and Yuzhu will stay in the middle courtyard to take care of it." Wu Yuan commanded.

Wu Yuan was wearing a light-colored cardigan skirt with a jade belt around her waist and soft-soled embroidered shoes under her feet.

Chun Tao smiled and praised: "Our eldest lady is really much more handsome when she dresses up a little, do you have to wear a hat when you go out?" I'm afraid that the sons outside will look straight at it. ”

Wu Yuan, who was provoked, stomped his feet, and a light pink flush appeared on his face, "Aunt Chuntao, if you talk nonsense again, I will tell my grandmother to marry you out when I catch Ming'er!" I don't think I can keep you in this house. ”

Lilac and Yuzhu pursed their lips and snickered when they heard this, and packed their luggage, Chun Tao took out the cloak sent by Mama Zhu yesterday and put it on Wu Yuan, and after packing up, Wu Yuan took the maids out of the door.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw that the old lady and the two aunts were already standing outside, waiting for the little maids to load their luggage on the carriage.

Wu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The granddaughter greets her grandmother and the two aunts." ”

The old lady smiled and helped Wu Yuan up, and said angrily: "Snoozing again, right?" You see that your two cousins and sister have already arrived, and you are the latest to come. ”

"It's the granddaughter's, the granddaughter can't compensate her grandmother, two aunts, two cousins, and Yijin's sister." Wu Yuan learned the harlequin movements on the stage, smiled and saluted everyone.

The old lady couldn't straighten up with a smile from Wu Yuan's funny salute, "Look, this little girl has learned something from that script all day long, my heart, the old grandmother is going to be happy with you." ”

Wu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to support his grandmother, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, you can get a reward from your granddaughter, who just performed for you for a while." ”

"What a monkey, reward, Mama Zhu, give the eldest lady a reward." The old lady said with a smile.

Wu Yuan took the reward money from Mama Zhu's hand, and said, "Thank you grandmother!" ”

Everyone was amused by Wu Yuan's laughter.

"Please let the old lady and the two grandmothers get into the carriage, and the salute has been loaded." Steward Zhu said respectfully.

Everyone got into their carriages, and the old lady was old and quiet, and sat alone in a carriage. The second lady wanted to instruct the housekeeper to go to the temple to arrange that she would sit in a carriage with the housekeeper Cui Mama, while the two brothers, Wu Yongan and Wu Yongkang, rode horses and accompanied them on both sides of the carriage.

The third lady and Wu Yijin and the two mothers and daughters sat in a carriage alone, Wu Yijin was originally clamoring to ride in a carriage with Wu Yuan, but was called by the third lady before getting into the carriage.

In this way, Wu Yuan sat on the carriage at the back with Chun Tao and Lilac, which was also tall and spacious, with brass decorations on the body, and the circumference was made of brocade, embroidered with jewels, and the long tassels hung down, and as the carriage swayed, the ground of the carriage was covered with thick carpet.

Wu Yuan leaned on the big pillow embroidered with Furui Chengxiang, lay down lazily, holding the medical book in one hand and the pastries on the carved low table in the other, and said leisurely: "Aunt Chun Tao, Lilac, you are free, if I fall asleep, don't call me." ”

Chun Tao smiled and said, "Got it, my eldest lady." ”

Lilac carefully lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the vendors outside curiously, this was the first time she had followed the eldest lady out of the house since she entered the house.

The carriage of the Wu family passed through the streets of Yangzhou, went out of the city gate, and went straight to the temple in the suburbs.

Along the way, the carriage did not go fast, but it was not bumpy, and it arrived at the temple. Wu Yuan stepped on the stool and got out of the carriage, and Lilac hurriedly helped Wu Yuan.

The presiding monk in the temple has been waiting at the mountain gate for a long time, "Amitabha." The old lady is unharmed. ”

The old lady hurriedly said apologetically: "Master Lao is waiting here, guilty of sin." ”

The little novice on the side hurriedly led everyone to the wing, because most of them were women, everyone's wings were arranged near the back mountain, Wu Yuan and others were placed in the west wing near the lotus pond, which was a little far away from the location of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, separated from the temple, and had the charm of heaven and earth.

Everyone in the Wu family settled down a little, and each sent a maid to receive the meal, and Wu Yuan used some casually and went out to greet the old lady.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother." Wu Yuan respectfully blessed him.

The old lady smiled and beckoned, letting Wu Yuan sit close to her and sit on the side seat, "Yuan Niang will accompany her grandmother to worship the Buddha later." ”

Wu Yuan naturally didn't disagree, and responded with a smile: "Naturally, I listen to my grandmother." ”

Everyone packed up and went to the main hall, and the old lady took the incense handed by the maid and bowed down.

Wu Yuan also bowed, and Wu Yuan silently made a wish in his heart: "If the Buddha manifests." I also asked the compassionate Buddha to help the little girl find the real culprit who framed my father, and bless my father and mother with peace and well. ”

After worshipping the Golden Buddha, the old lady went to listen to Master Chuanzhi's teachings, and said to Wu Yuan and other grandchildren: "Let you come to the temple with your grandmother to offer incense, one is to listen to the Dharma, and the other is that you have been doing a lot of homework in the house, so take this opportunity to give you a quick and relaxing day and come out to rest for a few days." In the temple, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't be naughty. ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she asked Wu Yuan and the others to disperse, and the second and third ladies accompanied the old lady to listen to the Dharma.

Out of the main hall, the Yongan Yongkang brothers went straight to the back mountain to play like wild horses that had taken off the reins.

Wu Yongkang asked Wu Yuan: "Big sister, where are you going to play?" Why don't you go to the back mountain with your brothers, the back mountain is said to have a clear spring, very spiritual, my eldest brother and I are going to see it. ”

Wu Yuan is a girl's house, but it is inconvenient to go to such a remote place in the back mountain, so he smiled and declined: "The two elder brothers go, the younger sister will not go, lest my grandmother accuse me of being naughty again, but the two elder brothers must remember to come back early, it is not good for the second aunt to find out that you went to the back mountain." ”

The Yongan Yongkang brothers said goodbye to Wu Yuan and Wu Yijin with a smile, and the two quietly walked to the back mountain with the little girl.

Wu Yijin took Wu Yuan's hand and said, "Eldest sister, let's go too, it's really boring to stay in this temple, let's go see the spiritual spring." I've never seen it. ”

Wu Yuan patted Wu Yijin's hand and said with a smile: "Our two boudoir women are not suitable to go to the back mountain, I heard that there are snakes in the back mountain, are you afraid?" ”

The two were talking, when they heard a sound of footsteps next to them, and the Wu Yuan sisters followed the sound to look, and the two men were standing under the porch talking, walking in the direction of Wu Yuan and the others while talking.

Wu Yuan saw that there was a strange man here, so he turned around and pulled Wu Yijin to leave.

"Sister Yuan?"

"Eldest sister, that person called you." Wu Yijin tugged at Wu Yuan's sleeve.
