Every couple has a unique way of getting along, and Ye Zhenzhen doesn't envy them.
This is a patriarchal society. If Zhou Xunting hadn't had feelings for Chu Ningyan, how would he have let her chase her all over the capital and end up with a reputation of being henpecked? From Ye Zhenzhen's point of view, he was probably enjoying it.
Cui Weizhen is different. Because he lost his father when he was young, he is extremely precocious. Whether at home or outside, he always acts like the head of the family. He is so mature and steady that it makes people feel distressed. Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhenzhen will defend him.
To save face, I only tease him occasionally so that he can show a face other than calm and self-possessed.
However, that is just an occasional fun between husband and wife.
She really couldn't imagine Cui Weizhen's uninhibited appearance, or the image of him who was gentle on the surface but full of bad intentions on the inside was more suitable for him - it had to be said that such an image was extremely sexy.
There was no need to be led by the guest monk. Chu Ningyan took her into the temple in a familiar way, passed through the lively and noisy front hall, and finally arrived at a row of courtyards that were obviously residences.
Chu Ningyan explained, "This row of courtyards is usually used for renting. Many scholars who go to Beijing to take the exam live here."
Ye Zhenzhen understood this. Zhang Sheng in "The Romance of the West Chamber" also lived in the White Horse Temple and met the heroine Cui Yingying. Ancient temples also functioned as temporary inns. Although Xiangguo Temple has a high status, as a national temple, it also
They had to respond to the imperial policy.
Zhou Xunting's small courtyard can be entered through a small door. As soon as they entered, two young ladies came out after hearing the news. They smiled when they saw them.
One of the women with a long face and a delicate appearance gave Chu Ningyan an angry look, "Why did you come here? Why did you make us wait so easily? You should be punished. If nothing else, Man Tingfang must have a set of rouge!"
"It was my fault. I read the popular lectures for a while and wasted some time."
Chu Ningyan confessed again and again, and then pushed Ye Zhenzhen over, "You two are so shameless, what do you want Yanzhi to do with me? The real owner is here, Man Tingfang's Yanzhi all came from Zhenzhen's Rouge Shop
Yes, when we meet for the first time, no matter what I say, I have to make her bleed."
"It's not Ningyan's fault. It's because I'm greedy for novelty and forced Ningyan to see the vulgar sayings. I deserve this courtesy."
Ye Zhenzhen took over the responsibility, and in order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming tense, she joked and said to the two women, "I knew that Ningyan brought me here today to be a money-spreading boy. Madam Qin. Madam Mo
, if you are short of rouge and gouache in the future, feel free to ask me for it, but there is a prerequisite: you cannot let Ning Yan, a narrow-minded ghost, take advantage of you."
On the way here, Chu Ningyan introduced the other two female relatives today, one is the second young lady of the Imperial College Jiji Restaurant, Qin Yuyuan; the other has an even more extraordinary background, she is the third daughter-in-law of Yuning County Lord, Mo Qingwei.
The person who just spoke was Mo Qingwei.
Ye Zhenzhen's humor and generosity made them laugh. Coupled with Chu Ningyan's introduction in advance, they became more fond of her and the two parties quickly became familiar with each other.
Mo Qingwei said, "At first, Ningyan told me that she knew the developer of Manting Fangzhi powder. I thought she was lying. But now that I have met Mrs. Ye in person, I finally believe it. With such a color and makeup,
Only Mrs. Ye can control it."
Because she is the daughter-in-law of the county lord, Mo Qingwei has always been complimented by others, and she rarely praises others. This shows that she has a great impression of Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen was also very understanding and sophisticated. He complimented her reciprocally and generously shared his skin care and makeup skills. The relationship between the four of them became closer.
Qin Yuyuan said: "Recently, my father-in-law has been full of praise for the new supervisors from the Imperial College, which has made my husband-in-law envious. He has never been praised by my father-in-law. Knowing that Ningyan knows you, Mrs. Ye, I came to take a look.
What does the wife of a great talent look like? Looking at it this way, it turns out that she is a talented man and a beautiful woman. They are a perfect match."
The enthusiasm of these two people almost made Ye Zhenzhen unable to resist. Fortunately, she was also a master of rainbow farts, so she did not fall behind in the business competition.
In the end, it was Chu Ningyan who was amused by them and joked, "Okay, okay, don't brag anymore, don't be ashamed, save your tongue, let's wait until we enjoy the flowers."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, not feeling embarrassed, and followed Chu Ningyan to move their positions.
The plum blossoms in Xiangguo Temple are divided into two forests: the inner and outer forests. The outer forest is planted in the yard for ordinary tourists to watch and play. The most famous one is the inner forest, which is planted in the mountain forest at the back door of Xiangguo Temple. However, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple does not like to let it go.
Tourists disturb the purity of Buddhism and rarely open this forest.
Obviously, today is an exception.
Ye Zhenzhen and her group were heading to the plum grove in the back mountain. There were many new and messy footprints on the trail. Before they even got close, they heard the sound of people chatting with silk and bamboo. The charming smiles of women were intertwined with the chanting of literati. Here,
The winding paths lead to secluded places, and the Zen temple, which has been left behind by the mortal world, has a unique charm.
At the end of the trail, there is a deep, clear and emerald pool, with a green Bodhi tree next to it. Opposite the green pool, there is a clear and gorgeous plum blossom forest, which spreads all over the mountains and plains, its flowers scorching.
As far as the eye can see, there are plum trees growing randomly, with slanting branches on the brown branches, and one after another red, yellow, and white flowers dotting the branches, dry brown and fresh.
, the two extreme tones blend together to create a strange beauty.
The plum blossoms in the forest are blooming extremely luxuriantly, one after another, criss-crossing each other, like the sea of flowers embroidered by the Weaver Girl on the horizon, blocking the floating clouds in the clear sky. Everywhere you look, there are delicate and pink flowers.
, full of brilliance.
At the end of the forest, a group of scholars in white and blue shirts were holding a poetry party. The sound of congratulations from silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly. Pebbled paths were dug out on the brown soil. Many ladies and ladies were walking in the forest. Their hair was high and their brocade sleeves were fluttering.
, you can tell at a glance that he comes from a good family.
Looking at the forest again, there are scholars talking and laughing, and no white people coming and going, and you know that ordinary people are not qualified to enter this forest to watch plum blossoms.
At this time, when the breeze blows, the rustling flowers fall down and fall on the black hair, shoulders and skirt corners of the young ladies, but they don't know whether people are more beautiful than flowers or flowers are more beautiful than people.
When people walk in the rain of flowers, they suddenly feel like they are in a fairyland.
Ye Zhenzhen stretched out her hand and picked up a plum petal. She leaned closer and smelled it. The elegant, quiet and faint fragrance had a hint of air-conditioning, just like the plum blossoms emerging from the dust and leisurely in the world.
Yes, even if there are playful female relatives and scholars holding poetry gatherings, it will not damage the noble character of this plum forest.
I am open to you and you can do whatever you want.
As expected, they are worthy of the plum blossoms of Xiangguo Temple, and even the artistic conception carries the extraordinary and refined nature of Buddhism.
