Chapter 37: The Temple of the Clouds
Jiang played a few games with Xie Yixiao along the way, had a good time, and smiled when the carriage got off the carriage at the foot of Yunzhong Temple Mountain.
Yunzhong Temple is one of the three major Buddhist temples near the imperial city, there are three Buddhist temples in the imperial city, for the Jokhang Temple, the Great Grace Temple, the Yunzhong Temple, the Jokhang Temple is the royal temple, the nobles in the palace go to the place of praying for blessings and chanting on weekdays, and the idle people are not allowed to enter.
Da'en Temple and Yunzhong Temple are both temples for ordinary people, both are outside the imperial city, but Da'en Temple is close to the imperial city, and the mountain is not high, and the carriage can directly reach the temple gate, so everyone in the imperial city loves to go to Da'en Temple to worship Buddha.
Yunzhong Temple is far away from the imperial city, and it takes two hours just to ride in a carriage, and it takes a lot of time to climb up the mountain.
Therefore, this Yunzhong Temple is indeed a quiet place, and there are few people who come, and after a long time, it has become a place where the noble ladies in the city come to live and pray for blessings.
Zhou took care of all the affairs of the trip, and after the carriage stopped, he asked the maid to pack up her things, and someone pulled the carriage to the village at the foot of the mountain to store it, and there were also many porters, carrying things on their backs, and carrying sedan chairs.
The sedan chair is a kind of bamboo sedan chair, in the middle is a large chair, and a bamboo is passed through each side, and when going up the mountain, a porter in the front and back carries the bamboo, and people can be lifted up the mountain.
When they went up the mountain, the masters sat in a sedan chair, and the accompanying guards and maidservants followed them up.
The sun in March was not strong, Xie Yixiao sat on the chair, basking in the sun, looking at the scenery on the mountain, only felt that the air was fresh, and the whole person was relaxed.
No wonder it is said that if you want to recuperate, you have to go to Zhuangzi, and if you recuperate in such an environment, your body will naturally get better faster.
The maids who were climbing the mountain on the side were wiping their sweat, but Mingxin Mingjing could still hold on, when these two girls were young, Xie Qingshan invited someone to teach them martial arts, and they practiced for many years.
Mingjing doesn't have this talent, so he should be in good health, but Mingxin has learned some fancy boxing and embroidered legs, and it's okay to beat an ordinary person.
Mingjing took a large leaf that I didn't know where it came from and handed it to Xie Yixiao: "Girl, take this to cover the top of your head, so as not to have a headache after being exposed to the sun for a long time." ”
Xie Yixiao didn't feel a headache, the wind in the mountains was gentle at this time, the sun was not hot, she was comfortable in the sun, and she didn't have to move, she didn't sweat at all, and the bamboo sedan chair shook and shook, which made her a little sleepy.
However, she still took it and covered it, and when she covered it, she felt that her vision in front of her was weaker, and her eyes were much more comfortable when she looked at the scenery.
When the maiden of the Marquis of Changning arrived at the door of Yunzhong Temple, several monks came to the door to greet them, one led Jiang and others to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and the other few people took their subordinates to the guest garden where they temporarily lived.
Although there are fewer guests in Yunzhong Temple, but there are many nobles who come and go, and there are many people who have funded repairs, the environment is quiet, the main hall is solemn, it is a good place to pray for blessings and chanting.
The people of Changning Hou Mansion have visited the gods and Buddhas, and after the incense, they will go to the guest garden to rest, and come to listen to the monks chanting and praying tomorrow.
The Zhou family set up three guest gardens, one for her and the Jiang family, one for several girls in the house, and the last one was arranged for Xie Yixiao alone.
She is not in good health, she needs to recuperate, and it is quieter to live alone, and the Jiang family also plans to let her live here for a while, she can get used to living alone earlier, so that she will not be used to living after the sisters in the family go back.
Gu Ying's whole face was pulled down, but because of Zhou's suppression, he didn't dare to say anything, and his face was black when he returned to the courtyard.
Gu Yi shook his fan and sneered: "If you want to say that there is no eldest sister in this mansion, there is still a cousin, this is the meat of my grandmother's heart, even if the eldest sister is there, it is also comparable." ”
Gu Xiang said: "My cousin is my aunt's only daughter, and it's normal for my grandmother to love her, so don't sow discord among my third sister." ”
Gu Yi squinted at her and smiled: "Which sentence I said wrong, why did I sow discord?" Second sister, don't you wronged me for no reason, I said that my cousin is my grandmother's heart, and I can't even compare to my eldest sister, is it wrong? ”
Gu You and Xie Yixiao were raised by the Jiang family together, but the direction of their upbringing was different, Gu You taught the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and put the family first in everything, while teaching Xie Yixiao was to teach her how to live a better life.
The two girls are very good, but everyone knows who they prefer more, although there is also a reason why Gu You, as the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changning, needs to bear this responsibility.
"Alright, okay, stop talking!" Gu Ying became even more angry when she heard this, according to reason, the second room is not the old lady's own child, and the old lady doesn't care about it, but she is also the old lady's own granddaughter!
The old lady taught Gu You and Xie Yixiao, but she didn't have her points.
I'm angry, I'm angry!
Gu Ying's face turned red with anger, and she walked into the courtyard quickly, and then quickly occupied the main room of the courtyard: "I live here, you can do it." ”
Gu Yi raised her eyebrows and smiled at Gu Xiang: "Second sister, how can you say it, you are also a concubine, and the fourth sister is like this, I'm afraid it's ......."
Gu Xiang turned his head and left: "Dongxiang is just right, since I am a concubine and you are a concubine, you don't have to fight with me, rest, third sister." ”
Gu Yi saw Gu Xiang turn her head and leave, her face was distorted with anger, and it took a while for her to calm down, and then she snorted coldly: "Let me make you proud for a while." ”
Gu Yun looked left and right, and was about to follow Gu Xiang to the east chamber, when the window of a bedroom in the main room suddenly opened: "You are dead, why don't you come over quickly." ”
Gu Yun had no choice but to follow up.
After the four girls settled down in the room they lived, they began to pack the luggage they brought, and here Mingxin Mingjing was also packing Xie Yixiao's things, and the Jiang family intended to recuperate her in the temple for a while, so she brought a lot of things, in addition to the bedding, there were three boxes of things.
One box is some tonic and medicinal food materials for her to eat, one box is clothes and shoes and other things, and the last box is jewelry and some pastime gadgets, such as chess cards, fans, scripts and the like.
It wasn't time for dinner at the temple yet, but luckily I brought some pastries with me when I came out of the house, so I could put them on a mat.
However, the pastry was not easy to digest, Xie Yi couldn't eat it with a smile, so Mingjing asked the monk to borrow a small pot, asked for some rice, boiled some porridge for her, and let her drink it while it was hot.
After drinking, she was about to rest, and Spiegel and Mingxin lowered the curtain to leave.
"Mingxin go down and rest, Mingjing stays, I have a few words to say to you."
Ming Spiegel was stunned and answered yes, Ming Xin was puzzled, but he reached out and touched his head, and obediently retreated.
