Hongluo Temple is located in Huairou in the northeast of the capital, about 100 miles away from the capital, the carriages and horses of the ladies are driving slowly, and it is nearly evening when they arrive at the Hongluo Temple.
Yesterday, Ruogu came to check it, and the abbot of Hongluo Temple personally greeted him, and when he saw that all the young women were there, he pointed to an old monk who was seventy years away to accompany him.
After the group freshened up, they had a vegetarian meal, and it was already a watch, so they agreed to worship at the foot of the mountain early tomorrow morning, ask for peace, and then go to the Guanyin Temple on the mountain.
When he came, Qin Jue asked Guan Sanping to come with him and had dinner, Guan Sanping had already let people draw spring water, Luo Jinyan cooked tea, and invited Zhang and Zhuang Zhihua to come over for tea and chat.
Zhang and Zhuang Zhihua usually have to preside over the feed, it is rare to have such leisure, so they simply let the maid open the window, the bamboo waves are gusting, the mountain breeze is slow, and the leisure is indescribable.
The nurse sat aside with Tianci in her arms, and Tianci did not sleep when she was full, babbling and chattering, Zhuang Zhihua looked like it, and picked a string of southern pearls on her wrist and gave it to Tianci, Zhang's excused, Zhuang Zhihua did not follow, Zhang had to let the nurse accept the beads for Tianci, and wanted to give one of her mutton fat jade bracelets to Zhuang Zhihua, Zhuang Zhihua refused to accept it, and said shamefully: "Mrs. really wants to reward something, and when I go back, give me a few old clothes that Tianci wears." ” Zhang laughed, and when he went back, he sent a few small clothes from God.
Early the next morning, everyone went to the temple under the mountain to worship, the Hongluo Temple in the early morning, the blue bricks and tiles, the green bamboo shade, Zhong Lingjun show more treasure and solemnity.
Guanyin temple on the mountain, there are 333 statues of Guanyin along the way, there are more than 1,000 stone steps, Zhang's bring the red silk to return the vow one by one, and Zhuang Zhihua together, see the Guanyin statue to worship, Luo Jinyan who is ready to sit on the shoulder and go up the mountain is so depressed that he can't do it, he can't walk up the mountain Zhang's, but she lets people carry it up.
She protested, but the protest was ineffective, and Zhang said with a smile: "If you don't want to go up the mountain, just go elsewhere to play, I also want to add a few more younger brothers to you and Tianci, you must go up sincerely." ” Not to mention Zhuang Zhihua, she came to ask for a child.
So, Zhang and Zhuang Zhihua walked all the way and worshipped, Luo Jinyan followed behind slowly, Bai Jiuniang smiled and said to her: "Grandma, let me carry you on my back." ” Luo Jinyan shook her head, she didn't have no strength, she was just too lazy to walk.
She turned her head and saw Qixia walking silently with her head down, without the excitement of the other maids.
Luo Jinyan beckoned to Qixia, and it took a while for Qixia to react, Luo Jinyan was calling her.
Seeing her soulless appearance, Luo Jinyan sighed, Qixia and Shen Yan have been meeting for seven or eight days now, but they still haven't eased up.
"Grandma, what do you command?"
Qixia muttered.
Luo Jinyan glanced at her lightly, and continued to climb the mountain, Qixia didn't know what to do, so she had to follow quickly.
As the sun rose, the heat gradually came up, and everyone was already drenched in sweat.
Luo Jinyan pointed to a group of women in front of the Guanyin statue in front of them, they were all praying sincerely like Zhuang Zhihua, Luo Jinyan said to Qixia: "The women who come to Hongluo Temple to ask for children are not divided into rich and poor, there are women with life and village women, but you can see that there are a few aunts, even if there are aunts, most of them are carried by the eldest women, do you know why?"
Qixia was stunned, thinking of something faintly in her heart, but when the words came to her mouth, she held back and shook her head indifferently.
Luo Jinyan smiled slightly and continued: "Because even if the Bodhisattva manifests his spirit, and the child who is conceived in October and is born with great difficulty, he can only call the eldest woman to be his mother, and the biological mother can only be an aunt.
The slightest rudeness will be impeached and ruined. ” "If that's the case, wouldn't this biological mother drag down her son" Qixia's face was as pale as paper.
Luo Jinyan smiled: "It's okay if it's a decent person, and she can give her aunt a lifetime, but she shouldn't think about getting together with her son; If those who are not respectable, the eldest woman can find an excuse to send this aunt away, so as not to let her son be truthful in the future. ” After Luo Jinyan finished speaking, he called Lichun, drank a few sips of sour plum soup, didn't look at Qixia, and chased after Zhang and Zhuang Zhihua.
Qixia stood on the stone steps in a daze, and the seven souls went to the six spirits, and it wasn't until Bai Jiuniang smiled and stretched out her hand to pull her that she understood.
"Girl, if you can't walk, I'll help you go," Bai Jiuniang said enthusiastically.
Qixia shook her head, stunned for a moment, and then asked Bai Jiuniang: "If you like someone, don't you have to be with him without caring about anything?"
She has always been decent, and suddenly said such a thing, which startled Bai Jiuniang, Bai Jiuniang looked around, and saw that the other maids had already walked to the front, so she reprimanded in a low voice: "Girl, don't say this kind of thing again, how can the things in the book in the drama be taken seriously From ancient times to the present, how many innocent girls have been harmed by these words for life, grandma is so good to you, you must not be confused." ” "I" Qixia lowered her head abruptly, revealing a snow-white neck, seeing Bai Jiuniang's heart sour, since Qixia entered the Luo family, she followed her, but she never inquired about Qixia's true identity, looking at her speech and demeanor and this good appearance like a shallot, at first glance, it was from a big family, and it was definitely not a maid, eight or nine times out of ten she was a daughter.
Bai Jiuniang is a woman in the rivers and lakes, and she was forced by her nephew to have no place to stay, so she took refuge in Qin Jue, she didn't understand why a person like Qixia had fallen to the point of her.
She didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to say to Qixia in a curtive voice: "Girl, don't think nonsense, so as not to hurt your spirit, if you have anything you can't figure out, it's better to listen to the grandmother, although the grandmother is young, but it is rare to be transparent." ” Qixia agreed as thin as a gnat, and followed Bai Jiuniang along the stone steps to climb the mountain.
It took the group more than an hour to reach the top of the mountain, and when they arrived at the Guanyin Temple, Zhang and Zhuang Zhihua kowtowed hundreds of heads all the way, and they were already exhausted, but Luo Jinyan was still full of vitality and took the maids to see the wisteria flowers.
Zhuang Zhihua dragged her back and asked in a low voice, "I remember, you haven't worshiped once along the way." ” Luo Jinyan grinned and didn't say anything.
In the evening, everyone came down from the mountain, and at this hour, they could not return to the capital, so they sent a small servant to ride a fast horse back to report the news, and they stayed in the temple for one more night.
Zhang's took the nurse and Tianci to live together, Luo Jinyan and Zhuang Zhihua lived in a room, slept until midnight, there were voices outside, Luo Jinyan slept very lightly, and woke up immediately, Zhuang Zhihua did not sleep deeply, and opened his eyes at this time.
Luo Jinyan asked Lichun to go outside to ask, and Lichun came back soon, with a happy face: "Our uncle and Uncle Chang have rushed over from the capital." ” Luo Jinyan and Zhuang Zhihua were taken aback, the two looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. t1706231537:
