Chapter 5: Prayer

Because he was worried about something, early the next morning, You Tingrong rushed to the prayer tree. In the mountains, the morning fog is wet and cold, and the gravel path through the woods is still wet.

In front of the ginkgo tree, a gray-robed monk was yawning, perfunctorily sweeping the fallen leaves and dead branches on the ground, and when he saw You Tingrong, he avoided it slightly.

You Tingrong Su is facing the sky, her hair is simple and half-pulled, her small face is still with pink tide, and the skirt flutters like a lotus step by step. Because she was frightened by last night's sign, she was in a hurry to write down her wishes, praying that the Buddha would know that the marriage in her previous life was true!

With twelve points of piety, You Tingrong wrote down his wish dignifiedly: "Peace and joy, find a lover." ”

Tremblingly, he tied the red cloth to the branches and leaves that he could reach, and You Tingrong also folded his hands and bowed, and then hurriedly went back to eat.

——

What she didn't know was that this red cloth with a wish written on it was quickly sent to Shan Yunxin's desk by Chang Shun.

The Ninety-Five Zun laughed for a long time, his fingers lightly traced on the ink characters, pinched the wolf's fine pen, and solemnly added to the strip of cloth: "The hand of the holding son, hand in hand to the white head." ”

Chang Shun lowered his head and handed over the secret report from the front line, "Long live the master is like a god, with your guidance, General Ouyang burned the grain and grass of Beili in one fell swoop, and you have also repeatedly promoted two young generals, and our tiger and wolf division has locked the victory." ”

Shan Yunxin carefully put the red cloth into the sandalwood box, and when he looked up again, the tenderness in his eyes was replaced by indifference.

"Let Huajin step up and get down to business, don't just flirt and have fun."

Chang Shun responded respectfully: "Long live the Lord rest assured, the Tu family is used to being rampant and domineering in Chu, and if there is a little grandfather to provoke, it will always break the sky, and when the time comes, the Long Live Lord will be happier to clean up." ”

Shan Yunxin snorted: "You know it clearly. ”

Chang Shun knelt at Shan Yunxin's feet with a plop: "The slave should be damned!" The cold sweat came down in an instant, and the piercing eyes were hot.

Chang Shun used to rely on the master-servant relationship with the long-lived lord for many years, and he would excuse himself a few words, but now he didn't dare to say a word to the emperor whose temperament had changed greatly.

"You're a capable man, and I have something for you to do."

Chang Shun trembled and trembled in the past.

————

In the Inspiration Temple, although the daily vegetarian food is served, the mother and daughter rarely spend a few days of relaxation.

You Tingrong was still flustered, but after staying for a few days, he didn't meet the old man in his previous life, and he gradually put his mind at ease, but he really copied a few Buddhist scriptures for the old lady.

As for the wooden stick, You Tingrong quietly burned it.

It's a pity that such a pure day was quickly broken, and Zhou's mother hurriedly came to find Mrs. You: "Mrs! The lord is anxious to find you! ”

"Is something wrong?" Mrs. You became nervous, she had always been afraid of You Guitai, although they were husband and wife, the two had never been equal.

Mother Zhou hurriedly waved her hand and glanced at You Tingrong with a smile, "Mrs. relax, even if something happens, it won't be Mrs. and Miss." ”

You Tingrong naturally noticed Mother Zhou's eyes, thinking of her previous life, and knew that it was time for the Holy Decree of the Title to come down, "Mother Zhou, don't sell it." ”

Qingding served tea to Zhou's mother with a look of eyes, and Zhou's mother sighed with a sigh: "It's a shame that the lord is happy, and I don't know how many clothes I bought into the palace, but guess what, eldest lady?" ”

Mother Zhou took a sip of tea and continued: "After the holy decree, the second lady only sealed the last nine-grade Fengyi. The lord stuffed the father-in-law in the palace with silver to know that there was no Fengyi who had drafted into the palace in all dynasties, and the Fengyi would be sealed by the palace maids who were lucky. ”

Mrs. You covered her mouth in surprise.

Mother Zhou hates that iron does not become steel, "This time the master has lost face, and when he comes back from duty, he will detain the second lady in the room to learn the rules." ”

You Tingrong was not interested in the affairs of the palace, and nodded to show that he understood: "Mother came that week to ......"

"Oops!" Zhou's mother patted her thigh, "Look at me, I've forgotten about business." ”

Mother Zhou was full of smiles, "It's a happy event for the eldest lady!" This morning, the house received a post from Miss Chi Jia, inviting the eldest lady to a small gathering. ”

The smile on You Tingrong's face turned cold, Mrs. You didn't understand this, and asked carefully, "Can you tell me what the reason is?" "They have followed the master into Beijing for a year or two, and they don't know anyone in the capital at all.

"Mrs., don't worry, Master Chi is the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and the son of the family is the companion of His Majesty today, and he is now serving as the doctor of the Fifth Grade. Even Miss Chi, this draft is a royal maid. Zhou's mother said that her eyebrows fluttered, "In terms of background, the Chi family is a famous family in the capital. As soon as Miss Chi's post was delivered, the lord was overjoyed, and he specially instructed that the eldest lady should open her mouth if she lacked any clothes and jewelry. ”

Mrs. You nodded, "Then let's go home as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Mother Zhou also turned around to help clean up, originally the old lady was afraid that the eldest lady would be wronged so she sent her to the temple to hide in Qingjing, but now that the eldest lady has made friends with the Chi family, her identity is different.

Mother Zhou secretly looked at You Tingrong, and had to say that the eldest lady has an extraordinary bearing, maybe she can really match a dignitary, and Mrs. You's life will come to an end.

After packing up their things, when a few people left the guest hall, a few pilgrims were talking about walking towards the prayer tree, and the woods seemed to be very lively.

"I heard that on the top of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, someone tied a red cloth of prayer!"

"So high, how did you get up?"

"I heard from the little novice, this tree was planted by the First Emperor himself, can I also pray for it?"

"Ordinary people naturally can't, and the people of the department must have extraordinary status."

……

You Tingrong's heart suddenly became uneasy, and he didn't want to think about it anymore, so he hurried back to the house.

The carriage stopped, and Qingmachi had a large bag and a small bag, and he didn't have time to put down his things to help You Tingrong. But she was preempted, and the third aunt held You Tingrong with a smile, "Slow down, be careful of your steps!" ”

Aomachi became more vigilant, and he didn't care about anything, so he squeezed over, "Slave and maid!" The third aunt rests. ”

The third aunt was squeezed by the big bags and small bags on Qingmachi's body, but fortunately she was supported by Liu Er beside her, and she gritted her teeth angrily, and finally only showed a smile.

"Miss, don't see me, quick! Liu'er! The third aunt stood firm, "Why don't you help the green girl get something?" No eyes at all! ”

No matter how guarded Aomachi's face was, the third aunt affectionately supported Mrs. You, and had to follow the mother and daughter to greet the old lady.

When I arrived at the old lady's room, You Guitai was also there, and he rarely showed a loving smile, "It's been hard along the way." ”

The third aunt said her true purpose in front of You Guitai, "In the end, it is my own sister, can I ask the eldest lady to bring the second lady to the appointment?" ”
