Chapter Seventy-Four: In the Water Lotus Nunnery, it is a real affair

In July, the water lotus pond, the scenery is particularly gorgeous, the misty blue waves, Tingting jade lotus, there is a dense purple and red, pretty branches, against the backdrop of the blue leaves, it looks particularly bright, through the flowers and leaves, see the deep blue of the distant sky, and become more and more pure. There are warblers perched on the branches, with a thin beak, combing the wing feathers, but suddenly by a burst of horses' hooves flying, far away on the lotus leaves, frightened.

Fresh clothes and angry horses, laughing and scolding, immediately broke the tranquility of the poolside.

Su Xun saw An Hui and her second sister and third sister competing to move forward, and she disappeared in a moment, and couldn't help but be very helpless, and said to Siniang and An Ran: "It happened to be in ambush, although there are not many tourists, but they are so public, in case they are afraid of others and cause any turmoil, I really can't rest assured, the two sisters are as good as looking for a place to wait for a while." ”

Siniang and An Ran were both very well-behaved, and immediately dismounted, and Siniang said: "Big brother, go quickly, we are followed by many guards and servants, don't worry." ”

Su Jingshang was still a little hesitant: "The fifth sister is still behind......"

Siniang said again: "Isn't there Yu Erlang following, let's wait for them here, my brother still goes to see the second sister and them." "Whether it is An Hui, or Erniang and Sanniang, once there is a lack of restraint, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if it does not conflict with others, maybe the three of them will fight, Siniang deeply thinks that the three eldest sisters are hidden dangers.

Su Xun just hit his horse and went forward, chasing the three hidden dangers.

Immediately, a maid followed, handed over a water bladder, and let the two ladies quench their thirst.

In the crape myrtle forest, the speed of the horse in the beautiful scenery is comparable to that of a "snail", and he is leisurely enjoying the beautiful scenery, followed by the guards and servants, and Yu Erlang, who has been chattering.

"Didn't you say that Third Sister Xie was staying in the palace? Why haven't you seen her today? When Yu Zhou memorized all the words and sentences in praise of Ziwei, he felt that the beautiful scenery in front of him was really exhaustive, and he was a little embarrassed, Yijing asked lightly.

Yu Zhou couldn't help but think of Yijing's "hostility" towards Xie Sanniang, and the smile between his eyebrows suddenly froze: "Isn't the fifth sister disliking her?" ”

Yijingmei's eyes widened: "On my grandmother's birthday, she kept crying and mourning, and it was really boring to look at, so I glared at her twice, but then I heard her difficulties, and I also had some sympathy." ”

Yu Zhou's heart was relieved, and he said that this was the case, and the smile between his eyebrows came alive again: "I think my sister has also heard that my grandmother wants her to be with my eldest brother...... In fact, the eldest brother is weaker, and he doesn't want Sanniang to be unwilling, he has been depressed these days, and of course he is not interested in enjoying the flowers with us. ”

In fact, it was Xiao Xie who was unwilling to let Xie Sanniang go out, wishing that she would be close to the prince of Chu.

Yi Jing smiled slightly: "No wonder Third Sister Xie looks at the prince like an enemy, but she ...... to you, Brother Zhou."

"Fifth sister, don't get me wrong, I don't have any thoughts about Xie Sanniang." Yu Zhou immediately raised his palms and said his heart, but it was a matter of consideration - no wonder the fifth sister glared angrily at Xie Sanniang, but there was still this reason, and she was overjoyed, one was the "vinegar" of the beautiful scene, and the other was Xie Sanniang's "vision", how talented Ren Yufeng was, in the end, he was a dying person, a sick child, and how could he be better than Pan An? When it comes to charm, you can't compare to yourself.

Yijing noticed Yu Zhou's beaming spirit, and couldn't help but sigh, she had already seen through Yu Zhou's unwillingness to compare with Yu Feng, and deliberately said that Xie Sanniang had a good eye for him, and it could be regarded as secretly helping Xie Sanniang, so as to teach her beauty to be smoother.

Yu Zhou no longer dwelled on this boring topic, and flattered Yijing: "The fifth sister should make progress in riding during this time, so it's better to run for a while." ”

"It's not going to be done." Yi Jing pretended to panic: "I have been practicing for a month, and I will be able to sit firmly on the horse, without being reined in, where I will have the ability to ride a horse." ”

She practiced riding and archery, not to show off, in front of Yu Zhou, she had to hide clumsy.

Yu Zhou naturally didn't care, and suddenly the beautiful woman said: "I've only been riding for a while, and I feel tired, but there is no place to rest in the shade around here." ”

Yu Zhou offered his hospitality again: "There is a water lotus nunnery in front, not far away, and when we meet An Hui and them later, we will go there to rest for a while." ”

Nature is in the middle of the beautiful scenery.

To say that this water lotus hermitage, the scale is not large, it is only one fifth of the Qingping hermitage, compared with the Buddha Temple, it is not even a tenth of it, so the incense is not prosperous, many nobles, even unheard of, such as the eldest princess who does not believe in Buddhism, does not know the existence of this nunnery at all.

As the master of a nunnery, Yunqing Nun, who was originally the daughter of a wealthy merchant, was deceived by an idle man and eloped because he met an unladylike person, and after squandering all the money and silver he brought, he was tragically abandoned; The so-called "runner is a concubine", after Yunqing was abandoned, he could only admit that he was unlucky, cheekily found his mother's house, begged his father and mother for protection, and was soft-hearted as a mother, but he hated his daughter for going his own way, and was only willing to set up a nunnery for him and let him fend for himself.

In desperation, Yunqing accepted the fate of becoming a nun, but he was really not a Buddhist believer.

However, by memorizing a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures, preaching scriptures for those merchant women to relieve boredom, and earning some incense money to support themselves, gradually, I only felt that the practice was hard, racked my brains, and gave birth to a "plan to make money", that is, to "solve problems" for those women in the house, and come up with some evil ideas, such as how to make those pregnant maids quietly have miscarriages or difficult births, or provide aphrodisiacs to those maids who are bent on climbing the master's bed.

Unexpectedly, she became famous later, and some noble ladies often asked her to "learn from experience".

Mrs. Zhen is one of them.

With the help of these noble ladies, the life of Yunqing Nun has become more and more nourishing, and several "Buddhas" have developed, and now in the Water Lotus Nunnery, in addition to her, there are also five sisters-in-law.

Because Mrs. Zhen is a "believer" in the Water Lotus Nunnery - for many years, Lord Zhen's life has been a mess, especially after Mrs. Zhen gave birth to two daughters in a row, and many maids have been developed into a room, Mrs. Zhen is very busy to deal with, and after someone builds a bridge, she got acquainted with Yunqing, and she gave advice, suppressed many pampered and delicate rooms, and successively let the two concubines who gave birth to concubines "die of illness", Mrs. Zhen is very confident in Yunqing, and the degree of trust has developed to the point that her daughter Zhen Mo has also become Yunqing's "believer".

Mrs. Zhen used the grief experience of the past to educate her daughter: "The heart of defense is indispensable, men can't be trusted, women have to rely on themselves, those means, learn to defend themselves and others." ”

even stumbled again and again, regretted not being at the beginning, and didn't let the eldest daughter learn some, but in view of the fact that there were so many side concubines in the East Palace who had miscarriages and concubines were infertile, Mrs. Zhen was relieved, and the eldest daughter was self-taught, which saved her mother's teachings.

As everyone knows, words and deeds, where does the daughter of the Zhen family still need to be a mother.

Right now, in this water lotus hermitage, in a secluded courtyard on the west side, between the ups and downs of cicadas, a crape myrtle tree is gorgeous.

In the fine house with the door closed, Zhen Mo held a jade comb, slanted the corners of her eyes, looked at the prince who was pretending to be serious next to her, and smiled slightly: "Your Highness is not jealous, right?" ”

Like a waterfall, the hair pours down on the shoulders, and the charming eyes are full of affection.

The crown prince raised his phoenix eyes, and his palm fell on the cheek of the beautiful woman: "I really can't understand that the prince of Weiguo is so good?" Except for him, you can't look down on others? ”

Zhen Mo threw the jade comb, and pressed her slender jade finger on the prince's palm: "Your Highness doesn't understand?" Who am I going to marry Su Jing for? ”

The prince snorted coldly: "It's all your sister's blind worries, Lone is already in the East Palace, who can defend the status of the prince?" Could it be that Lone will inherit the unification in the future, thanks to your sisters' planning...... Besides, you little thing, you can still hide it from me, just when Su Xun was mentioned, you became a spring heart. After speaking, he squeezed Zhen Mo's cheek with a strong palm.

Zhen Mo patted lightly, and opened the palm of his hand, but lightly stretched his jade arm and pulled it straight towards the prince's neck, and the whole body snuggled up: "Your Highness, no matter how good you are, can we still be married and ......?"

The prince's phoenix eyes were slightly, and his eyebrows jumped slightly: "You are so dissatisfied with your eldest sister?" ”

"Naturally, I'm not convinced." Zhen Mo snorted slightly, and did not shy away: "She is only a few years older than me, she can become the crown princess, and in the future, she will be the mother of the world......"

"Little thing, even if she becomes the queen, but my heart will always be in your ......"

Zhen Mo smiled slightly: "Your Highness, is this coaxing me, or is it coaxing yourself?" If you don't have a sister in your heart, how can you allow her to do whatever she wants in the East Palace and kill the emperor's heir? According to my sister's temperament, where can I enter the East Palace and compete with her for favor, and besides, why should I be willing to be a concubine...... Your Highness, don't be annoyed, and listen to me, the reason why you are like this with me is not that you are annoyed that your sister is cold to you, you and I are the first time to ...... It's called in your mouth, but it's my sister's name, you treat me as her, you are so sincere, I really don't dare to trust it. ”

The prince was stunned, and he wanted to put his arms around Zhen Mo's waist, but he gave up halfway and fell into despair.

He did fall in love with the crown princess at first sight, and when he learned that he was going to marry her, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, in Zhen Lian's eyes, she only regarded him as the prince of a country, since she became the crown princess, her heart was thinking about the political affairs of the court, and she was worried about planning for him, and she only put her mind on consolidating the momentum of the East Palace, for those Yingying Yanyan, the concubine and the beautiful maid, how to compete for favor, Zhen Lian never even took it to heart, all she cared about was not letting other women give birth to heirs before her, what she valued was the status and dignity of the crown princess, she only regarded him as the prince, and the backing she wanted to rely on never regarded him as a husband, Even a man.

Whenever the prince is fascinated and wants to fight Zhen Lian to the death, she calmly analyzes the current situation with him, and there is always a way to make his enthusiasm calm every inch, and finally has a ridiculous idea, he is just a bridge to show his ambitions for her, if one day, he is no longer the prince of the East Palace, and cannot support her ambitions, then, she will not even give him a word, let alone love and warmth.

The prince's true feelings were hit hard, and once he was drunk, he actually took the initiative to send Zhen Mo to the door as Zhen Lian, a cloud and rain.

But later, for Zhen Mo's charming style and gentle understanding, he gradually couldn't extricate himself, and when he closed his eyes, he regarded the person under him as Zhen Lian.

Ruo Ah Lian can also treat each other so warmly......

"So Your Highness, whether it's for me or for you, this family business must be fought for." Zhen Mo smiled, not caring about the prince's sudden indifference, but instead put on her lips and gently sucked the prince's earlobe: "Your Highness, at least when we are lingering, I am much softer and warmer than my sister, why do you still miss her?" ”

Moving his fingers downward, gently untying the prince's jade bundle, Zhen Moxiang's lips moved to the prince's lips, sucking gently, and tracing his cold and hard contours with his lilac tongue very skillfully, but he was reluctant to go deeper.

The prince finally fell into a trance, hugged Zhen Mo's waist tightly, and kissed him deeply.

With the sound of Jiao's panting, her steps were messy, and her clothes were peeling off layer by layer, scattered all over the ground.

Two bodies ignited by lust and loss, like vines entangled with each other, not pure love, and inexplicably unwilling, let them need each other, inseparable, indulgent love.

On the simple bamboo couch, the green gauze tent shook violently.

A pair of mandarin ducks still don't know, at this time, at the main gate of the Water Lotus Nunnery, a confrontation is unfolding.

Yunqing Nun put his hands together, although he lowered his head, but he rolled his eyelids, slipped a glance at the group of young men and girls in front of him, who were dressed in angry horses and wore hostas and gold, and finally stopped his eyes on the girl who was wearing a red embroidered skirt, tall, with a gorgeous face and nostrils facing the sky, and recited the Buddha's name, but he did not mean to back down.

An Hui was holding a golden whip, her eyebrows were flying, and she was also looking at this nun with a face like a full moon and fat on her waist, seeing that she had a fearless appearance, her heart was full of anger, and a sneer rushed out of her throat: "The daughter of the Zhen Mansion you are talking about, is it the biological mother of the current crown princess?" ”

Yun Qing smiled slightly, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled slightly: "Although Mrs. Zhen did not come in person, it is the princess's sister who can worship the Buddha in our nunnery." ”

She is also a person who has seen the world, of course, she can see that the young men and girls in front of her are all from noble backgrounds, but she is not afraid, of course this is not arrogant, thinking that the princess's mother's family is a prestigious family, and she is a relative of the emperor, as long as she moves out of the name of Zhenfu, no matter what kind of nobleman, she should avoid it.

Not to mention...... The little lady of the Zhen family is currently fighting with the crown prince, and Yun Qing will not let this group of people in anyway, which disturbs the nobles.

also deserves her bad luck, and today she met the evil star An Hui.

"It turned out to be Zhen Si, who should I be!" With another sneer, An Hui simply pushed a handful of eyebrows and cold eyes, Xiao Ni who was blocking in front of him, and stepped into the door: "Where she Zhen Si came, of course we came, don't get out of the way!" ”

Yun Qing was stunned, and his fat body pushed forward: "Donor, the poor nun still advises you not to collide with the nobles." ”

"I'm still on the verge today." An Hui sneered, and as soon as she raised her right arm, the horsewhip was whipped on the ground, and there was a loud "crackle": "If you don't know how to be interested, my whip doesn't have eyes." ”

Su Jing saw that the trouble was really not like it, and was about to step forward to dissuade her, but Yijing took the lead, naturally she would not be as domineering as An Hui, but she smiled at each other: "Please also ask the nun to make it convenient, it is hot today, and we are coming from the city again, this time my mouth is already dry, and I am also an old acquaintance with the sister of the Zhen family, if she learns, she will not turn us away." After speaking, he wiped a handful of hot sweat from his forehead, as if he had been dizzy from the hot sun.

Su Xun felt sorry for her sister, and also dispelled the intention of dissuasion, Yu Zhou naturally wanted to be courteous at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward: "The nun is a person in the Buddhist sect, he should know the way to be kind to others, how can he keep pilgrims away?" ”

"If the nun is embarrassed, it is better to talk to the sister of the Zhen family, and say that the ladies of the Chu Mansion and the Weiguo Mansion happen to be here, and ask her to come out to talk about it." Yijing said again.

She had already looked at the rich nun in front of her, and saw that her expression was domineering, her eyes flickered, and she had no half of the peace and kindness of the people in the Buddhist sect, and she was even more sure of Du Yuniang's words - it seems that this Buddhist nunnery is only afraid that it is more hidden than the land of fireworks, no wonder Zhen Mo chose this place to hide people's eyes and ears, and no one would believe that this nunnery that allows Buddhists to cultivate will cover up the private affairs of men and women.

And Yun Qing was also taken aback when he heard that it was the nobles of the Chu Palace's Mansion and the Weiguo Mansion.

Although she is protecting the prince, but this matter can not be publicized, after some consideration, and see that An Hui is really domineering, and there is a group of guards who are eyeing the back, knowing that she can't make a big trouble, she took a step back with interest: "It's not that the poor nuns are embarrassed, but Lord Zhen will come here every fifteenth month to worship the Buddha behind closed doors, and he is very pious, and even the accompanying servants are arranged outside the nunnery, and they dare not enter to disturb ......."

"You tell Zhen Si to come out, see if she dares to stop us." An Hui's patience was obviously exhausted, her voice rose a few points higher, and the horsewhip in her hand was raised, making the few sisters-in-law who stepped forward to stop all their faces pale and unconsciously took a step back.

Yijing didn't want to alarm Zhen Mo about this, so she immediately said: "The nuns can rest assured, we are just borrowing a place to rest, and we will not disturb the tranquility of the Zhen family's sister and make the nuns embarrassed." ”

Things have come to this point, and Yunqing has no other way but to welcome these nobles who can't afford to offend into the tea room on the side of the nunnery.

The tea room is not spacious, and when a few little ladies enter, it seems a little crowded, so Yijing said to Su Jing and Yu Zhou: "I can only grieve the two elder brothers, and wait in the courtyard for a shade." ”

So the two Lang Jun and a group of guards stayed in the courtyard, and the accompanying maids and mothers-in-law could only stay outside the tea room to standby.

At this time, Yunqing only hoped to wait for these evil stars, let them leave early, repeatedly asked his sister-in-law to serve tea, and asked a cronie to wait outside the nunnery, taking care not to let people go to the backyard.

After several years of attention, Du Yuniang found out that Zhen Mo and the prince were in the west courtyard of the Water Lotus Nunnery "private meeting", and also drew a picture and handed it to Yijing, Yijing saw that Yunqing was absent-minded at this time, and was a little more determined, and measured in her heart - the prince and Zhen Mo do immoral things, they must be cautious, such a secret matter, of course, the fewer people who know, the better, just now this nun also said that Zhen Mo even arranged his own servants outside the nunnery, but after all, the prince is the prince, for safety, the secret guard will definitely be with him.

This water lotus nunnery plus Yunqing, there are only six people in total, and now three are in the tea room to accompany them to make a cold noise, one is "waiting" outside, and two are going to boil water to make tea, it can be seen that there is no person in the nunnery in the west courtyard "looking at the wind", and the plan she drew up has a great success.

In fact, today's trip to enjoy the flowers, there was no Su Jing with him, and Yijing didn't want to let the eldest brother drown in this troubled water, but the eldest princess felt that there was only one Yuzhou who was traveling with Langjun, and she was very uneasy.

She looked around and saw that An Hui was still loudly venting her dissatisfaction with Zhen Mo being so domineering, Er Niang was happily adding fuel to the fire, San Niang was shaking her fan and was listening to it with relish, Si Niang was quite embarrassed to talk to the nun in the nunnery, An Ran was still as usual, like a shadow, and sat quietly with her eyes down. Outside the courtyard, some of the guards sat on the horse, some leaned against the courtyard wall, three in groups, five in a group were chatting, Su Xun and Yu Zhou held water bladders, sitting opposite each other on the stone bench, and the servants were under the eaves, each talking their own words......

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, Yijing only met Xia Ke's eyes outside, and he bowed his head.

Xia Ke immediately understood, and glanced at the sister-in-law who was guarding the side of the nunnery, full of vigilance, but turned around and whispered to Dongyu.
