Chapter 25: Huguo Temple (Part II)
Stepping on the pedal and getting out of the car, Chen Lan saw that Chen Yan didn't seem to realize the scene of the quarrel just now, and wanted to remind him of a few words, but finally endured it. After all, this is not in the car at home, there are outsiders next to it. Therefore, when she saw the guest monk coming forward to speak, she just replied lightly and perfunctory, and then walked inside.
Huguo Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty, to the time of the Taizu of this dynasty to renovate, given the name of the country, because of this reason, the temple has always been prosperous incense, only Yang Ninghou Chen's family, every year to light the silver and other incense money of the lantern is not less than thousands of taels. Although Chen Lan does not believe in Buddhism, she does not want to go against her former self to give people the impression of believing in Buddhism, so she has to see the Buddha and worship.
Chen Yan on the side was already praying with words: "Mother, you must bless me and my sister." Let me have a great future when I grow up, and I will be crowned a marquis immediately when I enter the prime minister, and then give my sister a wishful husband...... When my sister didn't wake up before, I really hated myself to death, if I hadn't fallen into the water......"
Hearing that the little guy was getting more and more unseemly, Chen Lan wanted to slap that on the head, and finally heard him mumble about the scene when he was unconscious in bed before, and her heart gradually softened again. No matter what, the woman who gave up her life to save her brother is no longer there, she occupies the life that should belong to her, and she can't do anything else, but she must do it instead of taking care of her brother. So, she silently folded her heart and bowed down, and made her promise to the tablet again.
After worshipping, the sister and brother had to offer a bag of incense and silver, and the monk thought that he often dealt with him, so he took it and gave it to the little novice on the side, and said diligently to lead them to the temple to enjoy the plum blossoms. Chen Lan originally planned to make it difficult to come out, at least to wander around the temple for a while, but because of the Su brothers and sisters she saw at the mountain gate of Huguo Temple before, she was very vigilant in her heart, so even if she knew that this opportunity to go out was not easy to come by, she still refused this proposal, but proposed to borrow a place to rest.
This small request was naturally not refused, and he hurriedly led the two out of the hall to the temple. As soon as he got off the steps, Chen Lan saw the Su brothers and sisters coming not far away, and they were about to try to avoid it, but over there, Su Yi had another argument with the young novice who was blocking outside. This time, I don't know if Su Yi was persuaded by her sister Su Wan'er or what, but she didn't make a big fuss, Su Yi only said a few words and turned around and rushed away, but that Su Wan'er came with the accompanying girl.
"Gongzi Chen, Miss Chen."
Seeing Su Wan'er come forward and salute with a smile, Chen Lan had no choice but to call Miss Su as well.
Hearing this Miss Su, Su Wan'er knew that Chen Lan heard the movement over there when she was in the car, her face suddenly turned red, and then she saluted and said, "Just outside the mountain gate, thanks to Chen Gongzi's kind help, my eldest brother and I were able to come in to offer incense and pray for blessings, and now we are about to turn around, so I will come to thank you." Our family has just entered Beijing, and the eldest brother's temper is a little irritable, so please don't take it to heart. ”
Chen Lan always felt that today's chance encounter was strange, so although Su Wan'er looked more polite than her brother, she thought that more things were better than less, so she just smiled and nodded: "It's just a little thing, Miss Su is polite." ”
Glancing at Chen Yan, seeing him standing there bored, looking left and right, Chen Lan had a plan in his heart. Because the little maid who came with her and the men were waiting in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, she instructed Qin Fang Hongluo to send Chen Yan to follow the monk to the meditation room first, and then looked at Su Wan'er in front of her. Seeing that this girl was wearing a lotus silk cardigan and a lotus-blue Hunan skirt, she was dressed plainly and decently, and her demeanor was also generous, but her eyes were extremely smart, and even when Chen Yan quietly looked over when she left, she was a little vigilant.
When she looked at Su Wan'er, the other party was also looking at her carefully.
Su Wan'er saw that Chen Lan was wearing an autumn-colored silk jacket on his upper body, a white silk skirt on the bottom, and a half-old honey-colored shearling cloak on his head, which looked not luxurious, but it was completely different from Chen Yan's new dress. After thinking about what her grandmother reminded her yesterday, she felt more and more that it was right, so she talked with a smile and said: "Sister Chen, although I am new to the capital, I have heard of my sister's reputation, not only filial piety, but also the needlework is also first-class, and I really admire it in my heart." If my sister is free right now, I really want to ask for more advice. ”
At first, it was Miss Chen, the son of Chen, and she didn't know her age at this time, so she called her sister directly, Rao is Chen Lan himself used to seeing people who are good at pulling relationships and making friends, and he can't help but be a little surprised. The story of her desperate efforts to save her brother is said to have spread, but it should never be known to the people, not to mention, how about the golden needlework of the boudoir, how can there be irrelevant outsiders know? So, she said a few perfunctory sentences, and then took advantage of Su Wan'er's inattention to glance at Yun'er.
Yun'er was already impatient, and immediately said with a smile: "Miss Su, I'm really sorry. My young master and young lady are already tired, and they are planning to go to the house to rest and rest. ”
Su Wan'er originally thought that Chen Lan looked like a gentle and polite person, so he could talk tightly, but how could she have thought that before the master could speak, a girl would jump out, and her face suddenly stiffened, and then she pretended not to see Yun'er, and said with a forced smile: "Since my sister is tired now, it is better for me to visit the door another day, to say that our family and the Hou Mansion are related......
If she said something else, it would be enough, but when she mentioned going to the door, Yun'er immediately remembered that it was this young master who was talking to her own young master outside the mountain gate just now, and at this time, she kept taking out the Hou Mansion and raising herself, obviously not having a good intention, and there were a few small knives hidden in the already ridiculous words.
"Miss Su, forgive me for telling the truth, there are not a hundred but eighty relatives in the Hou Mansion, if anyone comes to the door and asks to see the master, where can they be busy? Since Miss Su knows that our young lady is filial piety, and she knows that our young lady is good at needlework, she should know that now that there is something going on in the Hou Mansion, our young lady is too busy all day long, and she really has no time to meet foreign guests. Besides, I am a servant of the Hou Mansion, and I have not heard that the old Hou Ye has recognized any relatives of the Su family for so many years. ”
Although Chen Lan felt that Yun'er's call was sharp and happy, she could see that Su Wan'er's face went from red to blue, from blue to white, and finally looked like she was about to cry, she hurriedly threw a look at Yun'er, and then shouted softly: "Yun'er, even if there are no rules at home, you can't hide your mouth outside!" ”
Yun'er retreated with an unconvinced face.
Chen Lan smiled and said: "Yun'er is used to me, and she is not forgiving when she speaks, if there is a collision, Miss Su, please don't be surprised." ”
Su Wan'er took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and then reluctantly smiled: "What did Miss Chen say, it turned out that my brother shouldn't make a big noise, and others would be wrong." It's just that my sister learned that my grandmother and the old marquis did recognize each other. At that time, the old marquis went out of the town of Gansu, and it happened that my grandfather was also an official in Gansu, and I walked around a few times on both sides, and the old marquis and my grandmother only recognized the same clan after the genealogy, and the old marquis still had a piece of jade left in my grandmother's place......"
Chen Lan didn't want to listen to this joint at all, let alone figure it out, she only knew that it was a bit too much of a coincidence that the Su family brothers and sisters appeared in Huguo Temple today. She covered her mouth and coughed violently a few times, interrupting Su Wan'er's pitiful statement, and then held the pepper next to her with her fake hand, and then smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm not in good health, and I can't see the wind much, so I've always been stuffy at home, and there are few people who come and go, even if it's a relative, I really can't recognize it." ”
She coughed as she spoke, and the few girls around her were all clever people, Pepper stepped forward and was busy calming down, and Su Mu even took out the pouch she brought with her, poured hot tea and sent it over. After being busy for a while, Su Mu stepped forward to salute Su Wan'er, and then said: "Miss Su, my young lady was seriously ill only a few years ago, and it was just today's worship just now, and now she is a little unbearable, so she borrowed a retreat from the temple to rest." I'm sorry, we have to get over first. ”
