The drizzle drifted to the earth like silk, and it was the most rare to encounter such a cool day in midsummer, and it happened to be selected as the day to go out for the palace. Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan sat in the carriage early, and they could hear the strings of flattery from the people surrounding the old princess and the princess outside the car. Everyone boasted that the old princess was as blessed as the East China Sea, and if she chose a day to worship the Buddha, she could meet a cool day. Then praise the princess for her good fortune and go out for a happy event.

When the carriage was finally ready to go, in addition to her and Ji Yan, Jiang Wanmu was sitting in the car, and several decent housekeepers and wives in the palace were added, and the cart was just crowded. After the women in charge got into the car, everyone said with Jiang Wanmu: "Third lady, it is raining today, the masters are gracious, let us go into the car and squeeze together." They carefully looked at Jiang Wanmu's expression as they spoke, and nodded slightly when they saw her calm expression.

For Jiang Wanmu, this is the carriage of the palace, and whoever comes in and sits has nothing to do with her. She sat in the carriage, and the stewards exchanged glances, but none of them spoke. Jiang Wanmu swayed with the carriage fast and slowly, listening to the sound of the carriage in front of her, as well as the sound of the carriage from time to time from time to time, and listening to the sound of the carriage coming from behind, she gradually lowered her eyes.

Ji Yan raised her eyes to look at Jiang Wanmu, and then at the housekeeper women who lowered their eyes and raised their minds, and she lowered her eyes and faces. Ji Yan felt that after Jiang Wanyi left that day, Jiang Wanmu's heart was much heavier, and although she had a smile on her face, she was practicing writing desperately for a long time with people behind her back. Ji Yan didn't dare to ask her more, so he could only find an excuse to go out of the palace and find Fang Zheng to get an idea. After hearing this, Fang Zheng sighed and said, "Miss is older, and her mind is heavy. She had to figure it out on her own. You usually go to her and say something happy to her. There is something, follow her. ”

There are more than ten or two carriages before and after, and they have gone out of the capital in a mighty way, and the scenery along the way is how. Jiang Wanmu could only see vaguely through the gauze curtains. Outside the capital, it still seems to be prosperous, and the houses are lined up in a circle. But the more you walk, the more it seems that the houses are scattered and scattered in the four fields. The fields are only after the harvest, and the rest of the mess is far away from the village. The sound of chickens and dogs barking was heard, and it seemed that the field was not so barren.

Jiang Wanmu looked at the scenery outside with flat eyes. A bold woman opened the gauze window. She looked out and saw one or two women in the field, the older children bent over the same and the little ones running around. Ji Yan followed Jiang Wanmu's eyes and said with a smile: "There is nothing left in the field, what are they still bending down to find?" "There was a steward who listened to the words of Ji Yan. He smiled and said, "There is always some grain left in the field, and if you pick it up carefully, you can get some more." ”

Before the carriage stopped, Ji Yan and the women in charge of the carriage were able to talk. Jiang Wanmu didn't have the heart to talk more, just listened to them. She was ready to travel early in the morning, and she had to continue practicing calligraphy when she returned in the evening. After the carriage stopped, Jiang Wanmu asked the women in charge to go down first, and when she heard them outside the carriage, she laughed happily and said, "The rain has stopped." Jiang Wanmu got off the stool under the carriage and helped Ji Yan's men get out of the car. She stretched out her hand again to help Jiyan get out of the car. After Ji Yan got out of the car, the carriage drove away, and Jiang Wanmu looked up at the rainy sky.

Lian Hao led people and walked from the front to the back. Seeing Jiang Wanmu, who was looking up at the sky, he approached and reminded her: "You hurry up and follow, and you can listen to more scriptures later." Jiang Wanmu smiled and nodded, and after Lian Hao said this, he walked quickly to the carriage behind. Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan continued to follow the flow of people unhappily and slowly, and Ji Yan said softly: "Miss, should we go faster?" Jiang Wanmu glanced at the crowd in front of her, shook her head lightly and whispered, "This is a good day, don't be in the way." One step earlier, one step later, it won't make any difference. ”

Perhaps all famous temples are the same, and there is always a long way to go to the main hall. In front of the main hall of the temple, there are no high steps to climb, but it has a wide and wide road that does not allow horse-drawn carriages. All the people got off the carriage at this intersection and had to go on foot. Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan followed the flow of people, and they were constantly overtaken by the people behind. She heard a woman say delicately: "Master, today I want to ask for a peace charm for Zheng'er." The man didn't answer, presumably nodding in agreement.

Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan glanced at each other, thinking about the hearts of parents in the world. "Hello third sister." Jiang Wanmu never thought that she would hear Jiang Wanyi's voice, she turned her head to look at Jiang Wanyi, who was approaching her, and saw the smile on her face like a flower, she had quickly stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect to see the third sister come with me this time." Jiang Wanmu looked at her coldly, Jiang Wanyi's eyes did not smile, but her tone was close, she continued: "My husband and I took my sisters to listen to the scriptures together, how could the third sister not follow her?" ”

Jiang Wanmu followed her guidance and looked over, and not far away, Lian Zimo was talking to a pink woman in a low voice. Jiang Wanmu retracted her gaze, saw the vague and tortuous look in Jiang Wanyi's eyes, and secretly felt bad in her heart, stretched out her hand to pull Ji Yan, and walked forward quickly, Jiang Wanyi's voice was already heard behind her: "Zimo, the third sister is also here to worship the Buddha today." Ji Yan's footsteps slowed down slightly, Jiang Wanmu reached out to pinch her, and said in a soft voice, "Hurry up." Don't entangle the couple with both. ”

Jiang Wanmu's eyes quickly followed the gap in the crowd, hiding herself and Ji Yan inside. She was in the crowd, and she saw that most of these people were people who could be used by the second lady's side. Jiang Wanmu smiled at them, and Ji Yan also smiled at them. The sharp-eyed people looked back and saw Jiang Wanyi's family. They exchanged glances with each other, and several tall women stepped back behind Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan. Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan were hidden in the crowd like this, and the group of people continued to walk forward, and these people whispered about the rules of the Guangming Temple.

Jiang Wanmu was surprised by the friendliness of this group of people, and she listened attentively to those words. Ji Yan looked around, looked at the good sister of the woman in charge in the courtyard, and saw her smiling at herself, so she quickly showed her a big smile. Jiang Wanmu didn't know that after the housekeeper had sent off the guests that day, she had something to do when she left the yard, and on the way back, she met her good sister, and couldn't help but sigh twice and said: "Alas, I thought that the third lady ignored people and lifted herself too high. Now I know that she is living so miserably in the Jiang family、、、。 ”

Someone inquired at the beginning, the sisters colluded with the sisters, and there were many women in the palace, knowing that the Jiang family treated Jiang Wanmu as an outsider, and she gave gifts to fulfill her filial piety, and was reprimanded by her daughter-in-law. Most people's hearts are flesh and blood, no matter how the masters treat Jiang Wanmu, these people who are subordinates, in the past two years, looking at Jiang Wanmu's treatment of them, although they have not expressed their special closeness, they are quite peaceful and respectful to them on weekdays, and they never find more things for them to do.

When approaching the main hall, the woman who was close to Jiang Wanmu's side whispered, "Third lady, you will enter and exit the main hall in a while, and enter and exit through the side door." After she finished speaking, she twisted her head to the side, Jiang Wanmu pretended to be careless, and whispered, "Thank you." At the door of the main hall, looking at the Buddha statue like a big man in the shape of Litong, Jiang Wanmu thought that she was dazzled for a while, and when she was about to take a closer look, the woman on the side had briskly pulled her a few times and motioned her to move aside.

Jiang Wanmu also pulled aside the sluggish auspicious words, and listened to the woman say: "After a while, listen to the Buddhist scriptures, as long as the senior monk says to raise his head, he can raise his head." Jiang Wanmu looked at the woman with her eyes lowered and spoke, she immediately lowered her eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Thank you." Jiang Wanmu's eyes didn't dare to look any more, and only followed the flow of people into the main hall through the side door. When they entered, the old prince and the old princess sat under the Buddha statue, on the cushion in the middle.

There were not many cushions placed on the ground, and the prince and his wife sat beside the old princess in a dignified manner. The monk had already begun to speak in a soft voice, and his clear and thorough voice flowed slowly in the hall. Jiang Wanmu glanced at the people who were sitting down quietly, and then saw that some of the housekeepers had found an open space in the corner and sat comfortably on the ground. Jiang Wanmu glanced at the people who did not sit in the palace step by step, stretched out her hand and pulled Ji Yan to squeeze in an open space, and also sat on the ground. She sat down and lowered her eyes, feeling that the ground was dust-free.

Jiang Wanmu closed her eyes slightly, listening carefully to the monk's words, she found that she couldn't understand the monk's scriptures, it sounded like she understood every word, but she didn't understand a line together. She has never been a person who will force herself, so she just takes a break. Thinking about it this way, I felt that the monk's eloquent voice of the scriptures gently and soothingly soothed my soul, trembling like flowing water, and followed the pulse of my heart. It touches like a mountain breeze, and connects with the blood. It seems to be the fate of the previous life, and listen to the Heart Sutra again in this life.

The avenue is three thousand, only ask where the heart is. Where the heart goes, the general direction of life. The three joys and sorrows of life are self-aware and go with the flow. A flower appeared at the corner of Jiang Wanmu's lips, which opened freely with the monk's lecture. The monk shouted, "Look up." Jiang Wanmu opened her eyes and saw the mighty Buddha statue at a glance, and those sharp eyes did not dare to look directly. Jiang Wanmu was slightly stunned, Buddhism uses such a murderous Buddha statue? At this time, the monk had already called 'bowing', Jiang Wanmu followed everyone to get up and kneel, and involuntarily kowtowed to the Buddha statue three times.

Jiang Wan Mu Libi followed everyone to get up, and no longer dared to raise her head to look directly at the Buddha statue. The monk stepped down from the pulpit, walked to the old prince and the old princess, bent down and said, "Great goodness." Then he walked slowly out of the middle lane where they had moved out of the way, towards the main entrance. The old prince and the old princess had happy faces, and the two looked at each other and walked out behind the monk. But the monks walked through the main gate, and they went out through the side door. Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan followed the crowd, and after they went out through the side door, they realized that they had been in the hall for a long time. After many more steps, I heard the sound of the door closing behind me.
