Chapter 7: Righteous Knot Jin Lan (4)
Peng Xuan walked into Yinfeng Tower, and it happened that Yang Tear walked out with a basket. Peng Xuan said: "Miss Yang, where are you going?" Yang tearfully blushed and said, "I have something to do, I'll go first." ”
"Brother Peng!" I saw Cui Wuyuan taking two horsemen into the Yinfeng Tower while walking. Peng Xuan said: "It's just in time, Brother Cui, it's better to sit down and drink some wine." Cui Wuyuan smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" "There is already a shopkeeper greeting.
As the wine was drunk, a little beggar ran into the Yinfeng Tower and looked around. It wasn't until he saw Peng Xuan that he ran over and said, "Master Peng, my family helper has something to discuss." When Peng Xuan saw that it was the little beggar who sent him back just now, he said, "I don't know what happened to your helper?" The little beggar shook his head and said, "I don't know, don't let the helper wait for a long time." ”
Cui Wuyuan said: "Is it the female gang leader last time?" Peng Xuan said: "It's not! Cui Wuyuan said: "Could it be that she is looking for trouble with you and needs help?" Peng Xuan said: "That's not needed. Brother Cui, I have to leave in advance, and I will drink it another day! Cui Wuyuan said: "You really don't need help?" Peng Xuan smiled: "Don't worry, there is no danger!" ”
Peng Xuan followed the little beggar to a temple. The temple is quite large, with ancient trees towering to the sky and cigarette smoke. In the middle of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is dedicated to the seated statue of Sakyamuni, with a kind demeanor and great compassion for all sentient beings. On the left there is the Venerable Kasya, and on the right there is the Venerable Ananda, both carved lifelikely.
"How? Is it imposing enough? It was Jiang Kexin who spoke. Peng Xuan said: "This temple is quite solemn. Jiang Kexin said: "This Daming Temple is the largest temple in Yangzhou, and the momentum is of course magnificent. ”
Peng Xuan said: "I don't know what Miss Jiang is calling here?" Jiang Kexin said: "Tomorrow I will marry Miss Wang and Miss Yang here." Do you like it? Peng Xuan said: "It's good, but it's still a strange thing to worship in the temple." ”
Jiang Kexin said: "You are really lonely. Didn't many heroes worship in the Great Temple? Peng Xuan muttered: "Are you a heroine and a hero?" Jiang Kexin said: "You go home and talk to Miss Wang and Miss Yang, I will send a sedan chair to pick them up tomorrow and let them prepare." I will let all the city know about the worship. ”
Peng Xuan said: "Okay! I'll do it! Bihe handed over two ingots of silver and said, "This is your reward." Peng Xuan took it and thought to himself: Good guy, he is really rich, and he has a generous hand. In the future, if you deal with these people more, you will not be able to spend all the money.
Jiang Kexin said: "After the bow, you are also your own family, do things well, I will not treat you badly." Peng Xuan said: "Thank you Miss Jiang for your extra reward, and I will say goodbye!" ”
Peng Xuan came to the back house of Yinfeng Building, and Wang Shuqiu was already having dinner. Peng Xuan smiled and groaned: "It's so fragrant! Wang Shuqiu said: "Brother Peng, come and eat together!" Peng Xuan was not polite, just sit down and eat.
Wang Shuqiu said: "Brother Peng is very happy today, is there a happy event?" Peng Xuan smiled and said: "I got fifty taels of silver for no reason, do you think it's a happy event?" Wang Shuqiu smiled: "It's really a happy event." Zizhu, take wine to celebrate. Peng Xuan said: "It's better to have wine." ”
Peng Xuan took a sip of wine and said, "I have a happy event today, and you will have a happy event tomorrow." Wang Shuqiu smiled and said, "Where does the joy come from?" Peng Xuan said: "Jiang Kexin wants me to pass on the word that tomorrow will be held in Daming Temple to tie the knot Jinlan Conference." You, Jiang Kexin, and Miss Yang may be the most solemn sworn worship in the city, and they have passed the Taoyuan righteous act. Hey! What about Miss Yang? ”
Wang Shuqiu said: "I haven't returned yet." Wait for her to get back to me and her. Peng Xuan came over and said, "Do you really want to bow to Jiang Kexin?" Wang Shuqiu said: "There is nothing bad! If it comes, it will be safe, and let it be. Besides, having a good sister is not a bad thing. Peng Xuan patted the table and said, "Jiang Kexin really didn't find the wrong person, come!" Let's do it! ”
Yang Tear returned to the room in the evening. Wang Shuqiu found her and told her about tomorrow's worship, and Yang Tear did not object.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Shuqiu and Yang Tear dressed up carefully. Soon, two sedan chairs were parked at the door of the house. Wang Shuqiu and Yang Tear each got on a sedan chair, and Shen Xiluo had already instructed the restaurant guys to take care of it for a long time, and ran to Daming Temple with Zizhu, Cui Wuyuan, and Peng Xuan with the sedan chair.
Daming Temple is located in the northern suburbs of Yangzhou City. When the two sedan chairs just arrived at the archway of Daming Temple, it was already gongs and drums that shook the sky, and firecrackers were repeated. The beggars shouted beside the archway, and it was very lively.
Coming to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Wang Shuqiu and Yang got off the sedan chair in tears. There are many maids standing on both sides of the main hall, all combed into a high bun, wearing white skirts, holding a flower basket in their left hand, and grabbing a handful of petals from the basket with their right hand and scattering them outward.
Jiang Kexin wore a long skirt with a big peony dragging the ground, a short jacket with a hundred butterfly flowers, a cloud bun, and a crested hairpin, which looked particularly standard. Peng Xuan was stunned and sighed secretly: This Jiang Kexin is really a natural beauty. Jiang Kexin walked over, carrying Wang Shuqiu in her left hand and Yang Tear in her right hand, and said, "I've been waiting for my two sisters for a long time." ”
The three of them walked hand in hand into the solemn Daxiong Treasure Hall and knelt on the futon together. The abbot came over and said, "Amitabha! It is a great honor for the three female benefactors to marry Jin Lan in this temple. Today, let the old man witness the three female donors to worship, and from then on they will be like brothers and sisters, and they will spend glory and disgrace together. ”
The three of them offered incense to the Buddha statue together and swore in front of the Buddha statue: Wang Shuqiu, Yang Tear, and Jiang Kexin will marry Jin Lan from now on, share weal and woe together, and never give up. If this is violated, the sky will thunder and thunder, and people and gods will be angry. After describing the year, Wang Shuqiu is the youngest, Jiang Kexin is second, and Yang Tears is the largest. The three of them were then called sisters, and they were unusually close for a while.
Out of Daming Temple, Jiang Kexin held a feast, all the restaurants on Yinyue Street were chartered, and the tables were placed on the street. Jiang Kexin returned drunk again. Wang Shuqiu was also drunk, and finally went home with Zizhu and Yang Tears.
The matter of the three women's righteous marriage to Jinlan caused a sensation in Yangzhou, and the streets and alleys talked about it. Some people admire that as a daughter, she even went to learn to worship her eyebrows, which is really unique; Some people despise it, as a woman, it is ridiculous to learn from men instead of doing what women should do; Some people are worried that Yangzhou may have a disaster. In short, there is a mentality of all kinds of people.
Jiang Kexin doesn't care so much, others say it's up to them. She still goes her own way, often with Wang Shuqiu and Yang Tear, two sworn sisters.
One day, the three sisters came to Slender West Lake to play, and when they were having fun, they suddenly heard the sound of reading aloud not far away. Jiang Kexin frowned, and said angrily: "We are having a good time, who is here to spoil the scenery." Immediately he commanded the servant to drive away the man who was reading.
As soon as Yang Xian heard this reading, he knew that it was Yu Wenjue, and when he saw that Jiang Kexin was going to send someone to drive him away, he hurriedly stopped him. Wang Shuqiu laughed and groaned on the side. Jiang Kexin pointed at the scholar and said, "You know him!" Yang Tear couldn't answer yes or no for a while.
Wang Shuqiu smiled and said, "Don't ask, if you ask Sister Yang again, you will have a red face!" Jiang Kexin seemed to suddenly realize, clapped his hands and said, "Could it be that the eldest sister is good!" In a word, Yang covered his face with tears and wanted to run away.
Jiang Kexin hurriedly stopped Yang Xian and said, "Come on, call the scholar over." I'm going to be a moon old again. ”
