Chapter 8 Tiger Tiger Mighty General Kuang
When Lin Zhuyun arrived at Kuang's Mansion with the silver, Kuang Lin was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
I saw a purple and gold crown on his head, a few strands of broken hair to block the scar on his forehead, and he was wearing a narrow-sleeved shirt with dark silver cloud patterns that was convenient for martial arts.
He was burly but light, like a swallow in the clouds, and he didn't use a weapon, but he was arrogant with every punch and kick.
The maids who swept the courtyard were stunned and lingered in the courtyard and refused to leave.
Lin Zhuyun also paused on the side.
After Kuang Lin finished practicing, Lin Zhuyun stepped forward and said: "General Kuang is really an ape-armed, bear-winged, dragon-and-tiger body, really majestic. ”
Seeing that it was Lin Zhuyun, Kuang Lian's expression relaxed a lot, and his originally murderous eyes suddenly became tender, revealing a white smile.
The maids who stopped on the side of it had crimson on their faces, and they discussed: "I have never seen the general tiger and tiger majesty, why do our generals still have such a gentle side today?" ”
"It's because of Miss Lin! Miss Lin is so beautiful, even my heart pounds when I look at it, not to mention that we are generals in the prime of life! ”
……
Kuang Lin didn't seem to hear the maid's discussion, only scratched the back of his head, and asked Lin Zhuyun with a little shyness: "Why is Sister Yun here?" It's really embarrassing for you to see me practicing martial arts. ”
Lin Zhuyun bent the corners of his lips slightly: "General Kuang, why bother with being self-conscious, I think you are cunning and fast in practicing martial arts today, and you are as brave as a leopard." We have General Kuang in the south of the country, and it is really fortunate to guard the border passes. ”
Kuang Lian's face was a little more happy, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a slight redness: "Thank you Sister Yun for your praise, is there something wrong with coming over today?" ”
Lin Zhuyun opened the box she was holding in her arms, and the white flowers in it were the silver that Kuang Lin lent her a few days ago, and there were several more ingots.
"Sister Yun, why do you have to be so polite to me, I don't need you to pay it back." Kuang Lin hurriedly pushed away the box she handed over with his big hand.
Lin Zhuyun didn't explain, stuffed the box into the iron head beside Kuang Lian, and hurriedly said goodbye and walked to the gate of Kuang Mansion.
Kuang Xiao looked at Lin Zhuyun's flying skirt in a daze, and there was tenderness in his bright eyes that could not be hidden.
After a long time, he realized that his eyes were too presumptuous, and he hurriedly withdrew his eyes and closed his eyes tightly.
When he closed his eyes, he found that his heart was pounding like an earthquake at this moment, and it was very difficult to calm down.
I don't know if it's because the martial arts practice is too intense or because it's difficult to control myself when I see my sweetheart.
The iron head holding the silver looked at his general in a daze, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "General, will I send Miss Lin back then?" ”
Kuang Lin patted the box, grinned and said, "No need, just add this box of silver to the dowry for her, it's all hers sooner or later anyway." ”
After that, the big hand full of calluses gently stroked the hard-won auspicious dragon jade pendant on his waist, and his face was not revealed, but he was already overjoyed in his heart.
In the Lin Mansion, Mother Lin was already sitting in the main hall waiting for Lin Zhuyun, and Xu Luqing also obediently stood aside to add tea to Mother Lin.
"A-Niang, are you waiting for me?"
When Mother Lin saw that her daughter was back, her eyebrows curled, and she took Lin Zhuyun into her arms with a smile on her face.
"Tomorrow is the fifteenth, as usual, I want to go to the mountain to worship the Buddha, your third sister-in-law can't accompany me behind closed doors in the ancestral hall, so I can only ask you, the little monkey, and Lu Qing to accompany me up the mountain."
Lin Zhuyun happily accepted joy under her mother's knees, and pulled Xu Luqing over, and the two sisters made the old lady very happy.
"A-Niang, which temple are we going to?"
"Higashiyama Temple."
Lin Zhuyun was shocked, isn't this the temple where Jiang Xianxu is!
"A-Niang, there are other temples in Lingcheng, there were a lot of unhappiness about the death day last time, why do you want to go again?"
Mother Lin held the Buddha beads in her hand, and only said, "The ancestors of the Lin family have been going to the Dongshan Temple for generations, and this Dongshan Temple is very spiritual, the elders said that there was a war, and the enemy soldiers and horses have gone up to this old Dongshan, but do you know what happened?" ”
"What?" Xu Luqing couldn't stand the curious questioning.
The soldiers and horses wandered around in the mountains for three days and three nights and did not find a way down the mountain, and then they met a monk who showed them the way, and they went down the mountain along the way, but they returned to their own borders. After the war was settled, Dongshan Temple still stood there, not a single brick or tile was damaged, and many villagers were sheltered. ”
Mother Lin's story-like tone for the child has successfully convinced Xu Luqing of the aura of Dongshan Temple.
But Lin Zhuyun complained silently in his heart: I think that Dongshan Temple is not the enemy's soldier and horse camp.
But Mother Lin was so convinced, and moved out of the ancestors of the Lin family, Lin Zhuyun had nothing to refute, just thinking that she would have to be very careful if she went tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the Lin family's carriage went to Lao Dongshan, and when it reached the steps where the carriage could not go up, he could already see the cigarette smoke curling at the end of the long staircase, which showed the prosperity of the temple's incense.
After a slight trimming, Mother Lin took the two sisters to start the routine procedures such as lighting incense, bowing, and chanting, and even got more time for an hour.
At noon, the Lin family and his party wanted to eat in the temple.
Seeing that Lin Zhuyun actually took out a silver needle to test the poison one dish after another, Lin's mother was so shocked that her eyes were about to fall, and she was very surprised when her daughter became so cautious.
Jiang Xianxu stood among the monks outside the door, smiling at Lin Zhuyun's actions, and even felt that she was a little cute.
Although they were all wearing dusty monk's robes, Jiang Xianxu's appearance was still the same.
He suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman in an azure silk dress beside Lin Mu, who was not a subordinate, but stood aside and carefully prepared vegetables for Lin Mu.
Come to think of it, that is the niece of Lin's mother, who is fostered in the Lin family.
Jiang Xianxu looked at the woman who was very careful in her every move, and the corners of her mouth showed a playful smile again, as if she was planning something again.
After lunch, Lin Mu saw that Xu Luqing's eyes had been smoked red by the smoke of the temple, like rabbit eyes.
Busy said distressedly: "Luqing, you go to the temple to take a look outside, the fireworks outside are not so thick." Yunyun will stay here with me for a while. ”
"Thank you aunt for loving Luqing, then Luqing will wash her eyes first and then come back."
Xu Luqing wiped the tears with a handkerchief and walked out of the temple.
She walked slowly to a lake outside the temple, and as she was washing her eyes with water, a monk appeared behind her.
It is Jiang Xianxu, that is, the current monk who went to dust.
After cleaning, Xu Luqing turned around, and was so shocked by the monk in front of him that his heart leaked.
Not frightened, but amazed by his beauty.
"Dare to ask who this master is? Why are you here with me? ”
Jiang Xianxu smiled indifferently, his hands were folded in front of his chest, his hand bones were delicate and slender, and his fingertips were still revealing a faint cherry blossom pink.
"The little monk's name is dusty, the girl doesn't recognize the little monk, but the little monk recognizes the girl, presumably the girl is Miss Xu who lives in the Lin family."
Xu Luqing was even more surprised, since she defected to Mother Lin, she has been cautious, the door is not out of the second door, today is also the first time to this Dongshan Temple, why does this master recognize her?
"Miss Xu don't be surprised, it was the death day of the Lin family's grandfather, and the little monk followed the senior brothers to the Lin Mansion and saw Miss Xu from afar."
"Then I don't know what the master is looking for me? Why don't you just say it in that temple? Xu Luqing asked cautiously.
Jiang Xianxu had a warm smile on his face, but he said bluntly: "Miss Xu is obsessed with General Kuang? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Luqing was so frightened that he took half a step back and carefully looked at the monk in front of him again.
There is flesh and blood and shadows, it shouldn't be a ghost, but the face is dusty and handsome, isn't it some fox demon? This old Dongshan is so evil?
Seeing Xu Luqing frowning and looking at him with a rather strange look, Jiang Xianxu hurriedly explained:
"Miss Xu, don't be afraid, the little monk is just observing. Looking for you today, in fact, there is something to ask for. ”
Seeing that Xu Luqing nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue, he said again:
"Presumably Miss Xu also knows that on the day of my death, I had a lot of unhappiness with your mansion, especially with Miss Lin Zhuyun. The little monk would like to ask you to lead Miss Lin to the stone bench outside the temple, and let me explain a thing or two to her. ”
"Then why should I help you?" Xu Luqing, who is innocent for no reason, doesn't want to be contaminated with right and wrong, so it's better to be careful under the fence.
Jiang Xianxu showed his playful smile again: "Because if Miss Lin comes, I can let her divorce General Kuang." ”
Xu Luqing looked at his face that was enough to charm all beings, remembered that Lin Zhuyun had always favored beauties, and remembered his grandmother's sentence "Ming Ru has to earn it by yourself".
She couldn't help but be moved, maybe the little monk in front of her really had some way.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Luqing decided that this time he wanted to fight for himself.
If she is lucky and successful, she will have the opportunity to marry into Kuang's mansion, Kuang Lin is a reliable man, and he will be able to give her a clear way out when she is isolated.
When she returned to the temple, she saw that Mother Lin was resting in the wing room, and Lin Zhuyun sat aside and fanned Mother Lin.
She walked over softly and said, "Sister, I can't find my hairpin, it's a relic left to me by my aunt." ”
"How did you lose it?" Lin Zhuyun also asked softly, for fear of waking up Mother Lin.
Xu Luqing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and shook his head.
Lin Zhuyun pulled her out of the wing, carefully asked where she went, and after understanding, she instructed Xiaotang and the others to guard the wing, and she went with Xu Luqing to find the hairpin.
"Sister, I'll go to the lake to find it, please help me go to the stone bench outside the temple to have a look, it's faster to find it separately, I'm afraid that the hairpin will be taken later."
"Yes, then you have to be careful not to go to places with few people."
Lin Zhuyun walked to the stone bench, squatted down and carefully looked at the grass to see if there were hairpins.
She didn't notice that someone was coming towards her with a huge load of firewood.
When she walked to her side, the vines that bundled firewood suddenly broke with a "snap", Lin Zhuyun couldn't avoid it, and the firewood that was not light was about to hit her slender jade hand!
If you are smashed like this, you will suffer a lot in the future.
said that it was too late, and the man hurriedly hugged the bundle of scattered firewood with both hands, and Lin Zhuyun's hand was saved.
Lin Zhuyun raised his head and found that this person turned out to be Jiang Xianxu.
Lin Zhuyun couldn't help laughing in his heart: he didn't look for him, but he came to the door again.
Seeing the surrounding pilgrims coming and going, and some people had already stopped to watch the play, Lin Zhuyun got up and fixed his expression.
The performance said with a grateful look: "Thank you master for saving me, master, please put down the firewood quickly." ”
Jiang Xianxu took the firewood aside and put it down, and the sleeves of his gray monk's robe were already stained with blood.
It turned out that at some point his arm was scratched a lot, and the blood was gushing out, making his skin more and more clear.
The pilgrims who were watching the play around sighed and spoke to him: "This master is injured!" Look at the bleeding, girl, take your handkerchief and stop the bleeding! ”
Jiang Xianxu didn't speak, only looked at Lin Zhuyun with a pair of light amber eyes, and his eyes were slightly red.
Lin Zhuyun stiffened his scalp and tied the handkerchief tightly on his wound, gritted his teeth and said:
"Master, be careful, don't get hurt every time you see me, the little woman can't bear it."
That Jiang Xianxu's body trembled slightly, and led Lin Zhuyun, who was bandaging him, to a place where there were few people on the side.
