123 Enemy
Mrs. Xiao was restless, and the next day, she packed up her things, took Li and Xie Xuan, and went to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings.
A shrewd person like Mrs. Xiao never believed in these things, but what happened these days has made this always stable woman exhausted. When people are helpless, they will subconsciously hope for the gods. Xie Xuan knows all this, so even if she doesn't agree with it, Xie Xuan thought that if this happens, even if it can make Mrs. Xiao feel a little more at ease, that would be great.
Therefore, she also let go of all her chaotic thoughts and followed Mrs. Xiao with peace of mind.
Anyway, in this situation, as long as they are not too outrageous, what they do is understandable, right?
Daxiangguo Temple is located on Meishan, which is located in the suburbs of the capital west. In winter and spring, the snow melts, the cold plum blossoms spit out, and the cold fragrance of the mountains hides the ancient temples in the mountains. The morning bells and evening drums are considered a grand scene around the capital.
The season they came today is wrong, so they can't see the fragrant snow sea all over the mountains, but in late spring, the scenery on the mountain is also good.
The trees are lush and green, and one or two bright colors are occasionally popped up, either red or yellow, purple or white, all of which are wild flowers in the mountains. Compared with the prosperity piled up in the capital, it is deliberately exquisite, and the scenery here exudes a bit of wildness.
Xie Xuan took a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest and thought it was good to go out for a spring outing.
Because it was a temporary decision to come, it was natural that the Daxiangguo Temple was not allowed to close the temple and only receive their family. However, Mrs. Xiao still sent someone to inform her first. When the carriage from Dingguo Duke's Mansion walked along the bluestone mountain driveway and stopped at the gate of Daxiangguo Temple, a little novice had already been waiting in front of the mountain gate to guide Mrs. Xiao and the others.
Daxiangguo Temple is no different from ordinary temples. However, because it is close to the capital and has a lot of incense and incense, it has been repaired very magnificently because it has received a lot of incense and oil from these nobles. However, in his previous life, Xie Xuan also entrusted the welfare of employees' travel. She once visited Putuo Mountain, one of the four major Buddhist holy mountains, and saw the scenic spots of the "Sea and Sky Buddha Kingdom". Because she also visited Daxiangguo Temple for two or three times, Xie Xuan was very accustomed to what she saw in front of her and didn't think there was anything.
He followed Mrs. Xiao and Li in a plain face, burned incense in the main hall, lit the eternal light, and accompanied Mrs. Xiao to the Buddhist temple to listen to the presiding master Jiexin of Daxiangguo Temple for a while. Mrs. Xiao felt a little tired, so she was led by the little novice monk to the Zen room prepared for them.
The little shaman looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and his eyes were very flexible. Earlier, he only said one sentence. Later, maybe he became familiar with him and talked more, but he was not noisy. He only picked up on topics that Mrs. Xiao and the others would be interested in. It was not annoying. He was actually a talkative and could wink.
The Zen house arranged by the Duke of Destiny was the Zen temple they had been accustomed to living when they came. A peach tree was planted outside the courtyard gate, but it was still blooming. The color was deeper and brighter than the ordinary peach blossoms. It was really bright. Because of the branches, the flowers were densely packed, like a huge cloud of peach smoke, blooming on the gate of this Zen temple and the next door of the Zen temple.
Peach blossoms are originally common things in the world, but when they bloom in this temple, they are actually infected with two parts of the worldly spirit and are much more vivid.
The little novice monk named Mingyuan saw Xie Xuan's eyes falling on the peach blossom. His eyes turned and he smiled, "If the female donor likes this flower, it's a coincidence. There is a peach forest on the back mountain. We are looking at it well now. If you are in your spare time, you might as well go and walk."
Xie Xuan didn't look very interested, but just smiled slightly and said, "I heard from people that the world's flowers are gone in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are blooming. I don't believe it very much. When I see you today, it's true."
As the little shaman Mingyuan entered the Zen temple, Xie Xuan glanced inadvertently. Since the front wall of the Zen temple was only half a person high, Xie Xuan saw two servants in the next Zen temple, talking and walking through the courtyard. Naturally, when coming to Xiangguo Temple, those who could afford to live in the Zen temple were all wealthy families, but seeing that the two servants were carved into their bones and pronounced by natural rules, Xie Xuan smiled and said, "Dare you ask Master Mingyuan, are there anyone in the Zen temple next door?"
Mingyuan raised his hand, scratched the back of his head, and said with a silly expression, "Yes! The temple that you entered shortly before you was the way my senior brother of Ming and Qing dynasties. I heard that like you, he is also a nobleman from the capital."
When Xie Xuan heard this, her eyes flashed lightly and she didn't say anything.
When he entered the Zen Temple, the maid and the old man who was serving beside him boiled water and made tea. When he was serving Mrs. Xiao and sat down, Mrs. Xiao whispered to Madam Lin, "Since there are people living in the Zen Temple next door, go and have a look."
Madam Lin responded softly and retreated.
This is also a basic etiquette. Since they are all from the capital, some social engagements are inevitable. Although, with their current mood, I am afraid they are a little impatient with these things, but when people stand in the world, they always have to be willful in some things.
After a while, Madam Lin came back, but she didn't come back alone. She was huh and there were several people behind her.
When he heard the movement, whether it was Mrs. Xiao or Xie Xuan, he turned his head and looked out from the opened curtain. After looking at it, the expressions of the mother and daughter, including Li, changed in an instant.
The enemy's road is narrow, and what I'm talking about is probably the situation at this time.
The first one was a young woman who was in the age of flowers. She wore a snow-green lake silk sack with green orchids, and a twelve Hunan skirts with dark patterns of crabapple and red hibiscus flowers and camellia tea. Among the black hairs, there were double-stranded gold-inlaid hairpins, which swayed gently with her steps, hiding the rich and graceful manner that seemed to be born with a smile, which made people suddenly feel a little dazzling.
"When I saw the nanny beside my wife, I realized that the wife was actually here. No matter what I said, I would come to ask my wife for peace. I would come uninvited, so please don't blame her." He ran into the door with a smile, and the woman had already stepped into the threshold. She walked to Mrs. Xiao in three or two steps, and she had a light blessing.
Mrs. Xiao did not dare to be arrogant. She stood up like Li and Xie Xuan's sister-in-law, sideways to avoid the woman's court, and responded with a smile, "The wife doesn't know that the princess lives in the Zen Temple next door. If she had known it, she would have gone to visit her early in the morning."
