Chapter 181(1/3)
() Qin Zhiyan's words were like a magic spell that struck into Su Lanzhi's heart. Su Lanzhi looked at Qin Zhiyan and saw that the other party's eyes were looking straight at her. In those gentle and watery eyes,
It seemed to be carrying a kind of magical power, making Su Lanzhi feel like she had nowhere to hide.
Shifting her gaze, Su Lanzhi looked at the ever-burning lamp in front of her, thinking about the unlucky child in her previous life, and the heart-piercing pain in the ice and snow that day. An invisible trace of light flashed across Su Lanzhi's face.
"This ever-bright lamp just fulfills one of my regrets." What happened in her previous life has become a thing of the past, and Su Lanzhi never intends to tell anyone.
The separation of ghosts and ghosts, these things have always been taboo for people, and she doesn't want to be regarded as an alien.
"Does Miss Su also have an unfulfilled dream?" Knowing that Su Lanzhi would not say anything anymore, Qin Zhiyan did not force it. He just smiled and looked at the other party, although he was curious about what the other party had hidden in his heart.
Qin Zhiyan still chose to respect his secret, but the other party didn't tell him.
"Everyone will have more or less regrets. Who can guarantee that once in this world, who will be perfect?" Life cannot be perfect, and it is these regrets that make people know how to cherish it.
.
"Haha, Miss Su is absolutely right." This topic has ended here, and there is no point in talking about it any more. Qin Zhiyan changed the subject, "Has Miss Su finished reading?"
"Um!"
"In that case, let's go together!"
"I still have some things to do, King Wu Cheng will leave first!" This is also an excuse and a refusal.
"Okay, I'll leave first. If anything happens, you can come to me!"
"Um!"
After Qin Zhiyan left, Su Lanzhi sat in front of the evergreen lantern for a while, and finally knelt in front of the Buddha statue to pray. It seemed that her heart could be calmed down by this.
…
I don’t know if they met in the temple after all, or if it was fate. After going to Qin Zhiyan’s yard that day, Su Lanzhi and Qin Zhiyan stayed together for a while. In the following days, Su Lanzhi
There are more opportunities for Lan Zhi to meet Qin Zhiyan.
Occasionally when I walk in the yard, I will see Qin Zhiyan sitting in the yard drinking tea, or when he goes to recite Buddha's name, Qin Zhiyan happens to be there. Sometimes I go to the abbot to discuss some Buddhist scriptures, and Qin Zhiyan also happens to be there.
Here... this back and forth,
Within a day, she unexpectedly ran into Qin Zhiyan several times. Such a coincidence made Su Lanzhi herself have to suspect that it was deliberate. She always felt that the two of them met too frequently. Although they did not discuss it, they
How could it be such a coincidence?
Su Lanzhi sometimes even deliberately hides in the yard and does not go out. However, even like this, Qin Zhiyan will occasionally have some exquisite food brought to her. These food seem to be very thoughtful, and they are considered
No
Su Lanzhi couldn't refuse the big gift, so she had to accept it unwillingly. But it was not good to not return the gift after taking other people's things, so Su Lanzhi had no choice but to simply return some gifts. In this way, the two of them went back and forth.
But people gradually became familiar with it.
On this day, Qin Zhiyan also sent some snacks. When Yuetao saw it, he couldn't help but admire Qin Zhiyan's intentions, "King Wu Cheng is a man who is really thoughtful.
The lady has not had much appetite these days, so she brought these appetizing snacks, which are really rare."
"Isn't that right? King Wu Cheng really takes special care of the young lady." It can be seen that the other party is very considerate, but their young lady... Nuan just hopes that Su Lanzhi can wake up soon. Nuan, you
Isn't King Wu Cheng a little special to our lady?" Yuetao had already noticed this. Qin Zhiyan took care of their lady so much. He didn't feel special, so what was it?
"I also think it's just that the young lady has always been neither cold nor indifferent. She hasn't gone out at all in the past few days. I don't know what the young lady is thinking."
"King Wu Cheng is a good man, but why is the lady hiding away?" Su Lanzhi has not gone out for two days. If she doesn't go out, she will go back in another day. When the opportunity comes,
Even less.
"How do we, the servants, understand the thoughts of the young lady?" They were just grateful that Su Lanzhi avoided and rejected Qin Zhiyan, but why?
There are so many women who want to marry King Wu Cheng, but why is it that their young lady is like a savage beast and has no such intention at all?
"Hey, Miss, it's really worrying to be like this!" If you miss such a good man, you won't be able to meet him again in the future.
"Miss may have her own considerations. We just need to take good care of her. As for the rest, let her decide by herself!" Qiu Shuang saw the two people muttering and came out to remind them. Although there are no outsiders here,
But walls have ears, so it’s better not to let others know.
"Qiu Shuang, aren't you in a hurry?" Yuetao saw that Qiu Shuang was so calm, and she really wasn't calm anymore.
"Miss is still young. Give her some time to think about it. It will be fine when she figures it out." Although she was worried, Qiu Shuang also knew that Su Lanzhi had become very uncomfortable since she woke up from falling into the lake a year ago.
It’s the same. So Su Lanzhi must have her own reasons for doing this, and Qiu Shuang can only let Su Lanzhi make her own decision.
"Hey, now, this is all we can do."
"Okay, hurry up and get ready, the lady is going to take a nap soon."
"Well!" Several people also hurriedly spoke. Although they were a little confused about Su Lanzhi's actions, they couldn't say much. But they didn't know that their words had fallen into the ears of Su Lanzhi in the corner. When they waited
After everyone left, Su Lanzhi looked at Yunzhu beside her, a little puzzled, "Does everyone think I'm hiding from King Wu Cheng?" Is her performance that obvious?
"Miss, they just think that Miss has been a little strange these past few days." Originally, she would go out for a walk every day to relax, but in view of always meeting Qin Zhiyan, Su Lanzhi now only goes out to chant sutras.
I don’t go out anymore, I always stay in the yard, so it’s inevitable that everyone will have ideas.
"Yunzhu, do you think so too?"
"I just think that the young lady should go out more often. It's not good to stay home all the time." Isn't it good to be generous and generous? And King Wu Cheng is indeed a good person.
"..." Why did even Yunzhu, who was so incomprehensible to people, say this? In her heart, Su Lanzhi really admired Qin Zhiyan's method of winning over people's hearts. She felt a little slanderous in her heart, but didn't say anything. She just sat down.
After a while, I took a nap.
After taking a nap, Su Lanzhi also knew that Yunzhu and the others would have some ideas as she stayed in the yard, so she asked Yunzhu to follow her and go out for a walk to clear her mind.
"Miss, I heard that there is a very beautiful place in Yunlai Temple. It is late autumn now, and the chrysanthemums there are blooming very well. Miss, do you want to go and see it?"
"I think I've heard of it, do you know where it is?"
"I have heard from others in the past few days. I have made inquiries. If the young lady wants to go, I can take the young lady there!" He is going back tomorrow, and Yunzhu also hopes that Su Lanzhi can be happy.
Stop thinking about the things that do and don’t exist.
Although Su Lanzhi didn't say anything when she went out, everyone could see that Su Lanzhi had something on her mind. She had been accompanying Su Lanzhi these past few days, watching Su Lanzhi enshrine the nameless ever-burning lantern, and every day
I am reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra all the time
》, and even occasionally lost consciousness, everyone was actually a little worried in their hearts. But fortunately, Su Lanzhi gradually got better and seemed to have let go of a lot of psychological burdens. Only a few people finally felt relieved.
.
"Well, let's go take a look. There's nothing to do!" Tomorrow I will leave this paradise-like place and go back. Although there is not so much glitz and glamor here, Su Lanzhi is accompanied by the ancient bells and Buddha's words every day.
She actually felt that her heart was calmer than ever before, and she seemed to be able to gradually let go of some obsessions in her heart. Thinking that she was leaving tomorrow, Su Lanzhi suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
If she could, she really wanted to live in such a place in the future, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, away from the troubles of the world, and be among the mountains and rivers, and gain peace of mind and salvation.
"Okay, miss, this way!" The place was a little off. It seemed that Yunzhu took Su Lanzhi and turned several corners. Finally, they arrived. Su Lanzhi smelled the aroma of chrysanthemums from a distance, and suddenly felt like
I felt refreshed. When I walked in, I saw the five-dimensional
Among the colorful chrysanthemums, each one blooms with extreme beauty. There are small chrysanthemums, one after another, with gorgeous colors, and there are also large golden chrysanthemums, surrounded by layers of petals, that one flower occupies
It has a very big branch, which looks very impressive...
"I really didn't expect that there are so many varieties of chrysanthemums here. And they are so beautiful!" There have been many poems about chrysanthemums since ancient times. Su Lanzhi suddenly remembered several of them and chanted them out involuntarily, "Chrysanthemums are like
A man of lofty ideals, there is a lingering fragrance in the past. Charming flowers nourish the sunset, and heroes are proud of the morning frost. There are so many chrysanthemums, and they all grow very well. It seems that the people in this temple have put a lot of thought into them."
"Isn't that true? The chrysanthemums are blooming most beautifully in autumn. They are all blooming now, and the flowers are full. They look really attractive. I have heard about it several times before and have always been curious about it.
Now that I'm here, I really know what it means to be well-deserved."
"It is said that the founder of Yunlai Temple loves chrysanthemums the most. Now it seems that some of the chrysanthemums here are quite old and are rarely seen outside. Sure enough, the rumors are true!"
"My slaves don't know about this legend yet, but seeing how good these chrysanthemums are in cooking, they must have taken a lot of effort. And it's really rare to have so many kinds of chrysanthemums arranged in different categories. Many slaves have never seen them. Look.
What Miss Lai said must be true!"
"Haha, let's go over and take a look!"
"Okay!" While enjoying the scenery along the way, Su Lanzhi was fascinated by the beautiful scenery, but she didn't notice that the weather gradually changed, and suddenly a cold wind came up. Su Lanzhi did not wear a cloak when she went out.
After a while, it got a little cold.
"Miss, are you cold?" Feeling the cold wind coming, Yunzhu saw Su Lanzhi shiver and secretly blamed herself for being careless.
"It's indeed a little cold." It's getting a little late in the day, so it's normal to be a little cold.
"Miss, do we want to go back?"
"Okay, let's go!" Although she was a little reluctant, Su Lanzhi also knew that her body could not easily catch a cold, otherwise it would be troublesome, so she had to turn around and leave. But when she turned around, she saw a familiar shadow in the corner of her eye, Su Lan
A flash flashed in Zhi's eyes
Surprised, Yunzhu seemed to have seen him too, and was a little strange, "Miss, that man over there, is he King Wu Cheng?" He had been attracted by the beautiful scenery just now, but he had forgotten that there was a man sitting quietly not far away.
He was sitting there, holding a brush in his hand, as if he was drawing something.
"It seems so." Although she said it seemed, Su Lanzhi actually knew in her heart that that person was Qin Zhiyan.
"Then should we go over and say hello?" In Yunzhu's view, Qin Zhiyan and the Prime Minister's Office are now familiar with each other, not to mention that Princess Qin is kind to Su Lanzhi and it is very bad to avoid seeing her.
"No need? I see that he seems to be busy, and we don't want to disturb him. Why don't we leave first." Qin Zhiyan seemed to be very focused, and Su Lanzhi made an excuse and planned to avoid it.
