When the two carriages and four horses arrived at the gate of Tianchangguan, the sun had already appeared, but it was not as red and bright as usual. It seems that today is not a sunny day, Hui Lan muttered to herself.

The sisters are in a car, and they are not boring when they talk and laugh on the road. In the conversation, he talked about Huilan's tenth birthday, which was less than a month away.

In ancient times, marriage was early, and ten years old was considered a big child, so this tenth birthday is more important.

Hui Lan didn't care, "Cousin, don't forget the gifts, don't worry about the side." ”

"Don't worry, I remember, yours is indispensable." Cousin Wang smiled dotingly.

"Birthdays are trivial, and I just hope that my two uncles will be smooth and smooth outside. They have been evaluated for two consecutive years, and they move every three years, and it would be best if they could be promoted to Beijing. Hui Lan waved her hand and imagined the future.

"It's a good thing to be able to reunite as a family, and whether you are promoted or not is secondary." Cousin Wang was indifferent.

Hui Lan looked at her cousin, who was already slim, and felt a sense of relief that her cabbage had grown up. My cousin has passed her fourteenth birthday, and she will be in April next year, so she is really a big girl, and it is time to find her in-laws. Her own good cabbage was about to be sent to the pigsty and was arched by the pigs, and Huilan only sighed.

Not only my cousin, but my two cousins are also approaching their age, and it's time to find other people's cabbage. The younger siblings who followed the two uncles should also go to school, and there are so many things that force them, and the two uncles probably know what to do. At most, next year, I will have to go to Beijing again. Otherwise, for such a major event for children and grandchildren, it is not possible to rely on my grandfather alone.

So there are a lot of things to ask for today, and Hui Lan is more solemn in her heart, and she is careful in her actions.

The two sisters were in awe, and they were dressed relatively plain today, one wearing moon white and the other snow green, and both wearing thin capes with duck egg green. There are only one or two hairpin rings on the head, and it looks like there is a small jasper elegance.

got out of the car at the gate of the mountain, and the two of them each brought two maids into the Taoist temple. The guards are also scattered and walked around, this is a place outside the square, basically no one dares to be presumptuous, so there is no problem with safety. What's more, Hui Lan still has Jasper by her side, and the guards will not stay away.

Huilan looked around before going up the steps, full of green pines and cypresses, green trees, simple palaces, fresh and quiet, indeed called the fairy mountain treasure mirror. It is said that she has lived in this capital for more than five years, and she has never entered a Taoist temple or anything like that. Hui Lan secretly wondered, it seems that the family does not advocate this kind of project.

However, Hui Lan decided to take a good look and try the food, if there are no shortcomings in all aspects, she can come here often. Although she is not very religious either, she is also in awe. Moreover, Taoism is famous for its health preservation, and Hui Lan is very interested.

Just the pilgrims who went up the stairs were endless, and she knew that the incense here was vigorous and famous.

She had also inquired with her elders about this place before, and she didn't remember anything else, but she only remembered that this place was built in the Tang Tianbao period, and there was a white marble Laozi statue that had been passed down from the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. She wondered how this sounded familiar. Once upon a time, when she was studying in Beijing University, she loved to go to temples and Taoist temples, and she remembered that Baiyun Temple seemed to have such a jade statue, which was regarded as a legend.

If it is really the past and present life, Hui Lan is very excited, such a thousand-year-old temple with heritage and inheritance, it can really be worshiped and sustened. Even if it isn't, it's a well-known place that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it's not a shoddy man-made attraction.

In this life, it is inevitable that he will encounter some things that cannot be explained by science, and it is also a sustenance to worship God and burn incense for peace of mind. Considering her bizarre origin, Hui Lan has always been in awe of ghosts, gods and Buddhas. Compared with the flourishing Buddhism, Hui Lan prefers the native Taoism, which is quiet and natural.

It is said that worshipping God has its own blessings, and she has never been presumptuous in front of the statues of the elders in the family. As for the dojo outside, she decided to fix one that could be walked around a lot. She is a person who believes in eyesight, and decided to take a good look today, and this is the place when she closes her eyes.

The sisters did not speak after stepping on the steps, and it was necessary to be quiet in the place of the gods and Buddhas. The two went directly to the statue of Lao Tzu, which was crowded with people, and it took a while to queue for their turn.

There is a bottom at just one glance of Huilan, eight or nine are not far from ten, and this is the Baiyun Temple of later generations. That's right, she's already decided.

The two of them took the incense they brought, lit the incense by the candle in the temple, prayed sincerely, inserted the large incense burner with green smoke, and then bowed three times and bowed nine times.

Hui Lan's wish is simple: I wish my loved ones and those who love me health and safety.

The worship was very fast, and the two went to the side hall to ask for a peace charm. Then he went to the palace dedicated to Emperor Wenchang, his old man is in charge of the fame and fame of the scholars, and he should be worshipped.

The big competition is coming, and Emperor Wenchang is no less than the people in the palace of Laojun. The two of them lined up for a long time before squeezing in front of them, and it was still a set of procedures for offering incense and praying and praying, and they were extremely pious. After worshipping, I went to the side hall as usual to ask for a talisman seal, one for each person, double insurance, and the cousins were on the list.

By the time we got out of the temple gate, the sun had already risen quite high. Although the sun is not strong, the temperature has risen. There are people coming and going, and it looks very lively.

After tossing for more than half an hour, Huilan had nothing but a layer of sweat. Cousin Wang is a boudoir woman, with little exercise, and she is already a little panting when she is supported by two girls one by one.

Huilan didn't care about the scenery anymore, so she sent Jasper to find a place to rest. Liu Ya took the basket from the Wang family's maid with an eye, so that they could support Cousin Wang.

A few people slowly descended the steps in front of the hall and gave way to the side. This person comes and goes, it's not good to get in the way, and it's not even better if he's hit.

Soon, Biyu came running quickly, and before she could look, Huilan beckoned to her, "Here, Biyu." ”

Jasper's ears are bright and nimble, and she quickly finds her target and runs over. "Girl, there is a forest in the south of the Wenchang Palace, and there are a few stone tables over there. Not far, less than 100 steps. ”

Hui Lan nodded, "Cousin, let's go over and rest for a while." ”

Cousin Wang was no longer panting, but there was still a little tiredness between her eyebrows, and she nodded when she heard the words. Hui Lan then asked Jasper to lead the way, and she stepped forward to change to a maid and took her cousin's hand to follow.

Sure enough, as Biyu said, it didn't take long to arrive. The forest is not big, and it is planted with bamboo. Today there is a wind, and the branches and leaves are hunting. It should be a place to escape the summer heat, but it will already be autumn, and it will be a little cold to stay, so only two or three tables of seven or eight stone tables will be sitting.

A maid spread a veil on the stone bench, and Huilan helped her cousin to sit down. The maids took the copper kettle that they had prepared to keep warm to make tea, and set the teacups and snacks on the table.

Hui Lan looked at her cousin, whose face had almost recovered, and suggested, "Sister, how can you do this, I'll find a few ways for you to strengthen your body."

Cousin Wang smiled, "I haven't slept well for a while, I got up a little earlier today, and I don't have such a void on weekdays." ”

Hui Lan nodded, her cousin has not yet reached the end of her life, and she has almost taken on the housekeeping of the family alone in the past few years. In addition, the two elder brothers are about to take the exam, and only the more tired ones are.

"You can take it easy, you are indispensable at home. I'll send you some bird's nest ginseng when you go back, you remember to eat it, your body is important. Hui Lan poured her cousin a cup of hot tea and couldn't help but say a word.

"Don't worry, I'm not a big person because of a small loss, I will take good care of it." Cousin Wang held the teacup and agreed.

After a cup of hot tea, Cousin Wang looked much better, and Huilan was also relieved. watched her eat a good dim sum again, and she was almost resurrected with full blood.

Huilan also drank tea and ate snacks, and then she couldn't sit still. Cousin Wang saw it in her eyes, "You go around, it's rare to come here, I'm impatient to leave, just drink tea and eat snacks here and wait for you." ”

Seeing that her cousin was back to normal, Huilan nodded in response. Tell my cousin not to wander around, and she will come back after a turn. Then he left Liu Ya to help and rest, and left with Jasper.

Hui Lan had been to Baiyun Temple in the past and probably knew the layout. But it's been a millennium, and it's very different. Compared with later generations, Tianchangguan is much smaller, and there is only one way to build. Along the stone road in the middle, the bell and drum tower, the Sanguan Palace, the God of Wealth Palace, and the Medicine King Palace......

People can't be too greedy, so Hui Lan endured the urge to go to the God of Wealth Hall and the Medicine King Palace. I decided to come here next time to say goodbye, ask for health and wealth, hehe.

It didn't take long to see the flowers all the way. After all, if you don't enter the temple gate, you will lose a set of procedures and save a lot of time. By the time she reached the woods, less than half an hour had passed.

In the distance, I heard a noise inside, and a faint woman's voice. Huilan's face sank, and she trotted over with Jasper.

Running closer, through the bamboo, I could vaguely see several men and women surrounding the place where my cousin was sitting.

Huilan gritted her teeth and ran inside, skirting the woods, and saw the situation in front of her at a glance.

My cousin stood not far from the table, her face sinking like water, Liu Ya and a big girl standing in front of her, and another girl holding her arm. The cups and plates on the table were messy, the pots were overturned, the snacks were scattered, the water stains flowed all over the table, and a black and shiny raccoon slave was lying on the table, licking his paws contentedly.

A small slender jade hand was caressing the back of the tanuki slave one by one. The owner of the hand was a half-grown girl who looked rich and compelling, and there were several men and women scattered around her.

Hui Lan had a thought, even if this claw couldn't be chopped off, the beast would have to be bled out. You can't let people suffer because people don't care about the livelihood of animals, there's no reason for that.

Hearing footsteps, people on both sides looked over. Huilan was looking at her cousin, and when she saw that there was nothing wrong with her, her heart was half relieved, and it was good that people didn't suffer. The two looked at each other, Cousin Wang smiled soothingly, and Hui Lan felt that her heart had fallen to the ground.

didn't go to see the right home, Hui Lan walked directly to her cousin, looked at it carefully, and was completely relieved.

Liu Ya saw that Hui Lan's face was a little tangled, and immediately gave a salute, and the maid of the Wang family also followed. Huilan's attention was on her cousin, and she didn't look at Liu Ya.

Before she could speak, she heard a somewhat familiar voice, "Isn't this the cousin of the Li family, what a coincidence!" ”

Thanks to the kittens, tears, I love the tickets of baby 123
