Baoen Temple is located seven miles out of the countryside, not too far from the capital. Although the temple is not particularly large, it has a very good location, in a leeward mountain valley, so the incense has always been strong.
When Fu Mingyu and his party arrived at Baoen Temple, they sent a message to Zhike Monk. Not long after, the abbot of Baoen Temple came out in person.
Because it is the residence of the Duke of Guo, if you want to have some leisure time, you can go directly to the Zen Temple behind Baoen Temple to worship the Buddha. There are not many people waiting there, so it is very quiet. Generally, it only accepts noble families from the capital.
When the abbot saw that Mrs. Ding Guogong did not come, but three young female guests came, he directly led them to the monastery at the back.
"Are there many people in Baoguang Temple today?" Xu Yingying asked as she walked.
She often comes here. This is Fu Mingyu's first time here and she is not very familiar with it.
"There are several families who are worshiping Buddha." The abbot said with a smile, "That's not a lot of people. Female donor, don't worry."
Because all the guests from Duke Dingguo's residence were young female guests, the abbot could not accompany them. After Fu Mingyu and Xu Yingying donated the incense money to the temple, he resigned and only asked the young monks to take good care of the female dependents of Duke Dingguo's residence.
them.
Although Baoguang Zen Temple is only a Zen temple in Baoen Temple, it occupies a large area. There are three Buddhist halls in the front and back, respectively dedicated to different Bodhisattvas. In addition, there are two Zhike Zen Temples in the east and west, so that these noble families can rest temporarily.
Each monastery also has a beautiful small garden where the female relatives can walk and talk.
It is precisely because the abbot here has built Baoguang Zen Monastery very well that noble families in the capital are also willing to come here.
Fu Mingyu had never been here in her previous life, but she always heard Mrs. Andinghou mention it, so today she blurted it out without thinking.
Fu Mingyu and Xu Yingying accompanied Wu Yun'er to burn incense and worship Buddha. Wu Yun'er said that she wanted to recite sutras in the Zen room here. The young monk followed the host's instructions and arranged them directly into a Zen room in the Zhike Zen Temple in the east.
.
The young monk even brought exquisite vegetarian snacks and tea before he left.
Wu Yun'er chanted sutras, and Fu Mingyu and Xu Yingying took each other out for a walk. There was no place for people to ask for signatures or peace charms in Baoguang Temple. Xu Yingying asked Fu Mingyu to wait for her here. She and Man Guan went to the Main Hall in front to ask for signatures.
Ask the monk in front of the temple for a consecrated peace charm.
After Xu Yingying left, Fu Mingyu was lingering near the Zen room.
Originally, she brought Wu Yuner out today just to see if it would be such a coincidence that she could still meet someone who was gossiping in front of Wu Yuner.
So she didn't want to go far away from the Zen Monastery.
Just now in the Zen room, Fu Mingyu had already asked Wu Yun'er. In the past, Wu Yun'er often accompanied Mrs. Dingguo here. Almost every time she came, she could hear someone saying some or other things behind her back. If it happened once or twice
, that might be a coincidence. If you encounter it every time, it’s intentional!
Fu Mingyu walked around for a while and realized that walking around like this was not a big deal, so she simply found a very secluded corner and sat down.
Zi Yan had already laid an ambush nearby, just waiting for someone to say nonsense before jumping out to arrest them. Xinrui sat with Fu Mingyu. She was afraid that Fu Mingyu would be cold, so she even brought a soft cushion for Fu Mingyu to rest on.
Fu Mingyu also stuffed a heater inside the cloak.
"Princess, if no one comes for a while, wouldn't our efforts have been in vain? You will be freezing here in vain." Xinrui also held a hand stove, but she still felt cold, so she whispered to Fu Mingyu.
"If no one comes, then no one will come. You won't be freezing in vain." Fu Mingyu said with a smile, "Just calm down and sit down for a while. If we really can't catch anyone, let's go back and be quiet, so as not to alert others.
.”
Xinrui immediately shut up and made a mouth-sealing gesture with her hand.
Fu Mingyu estimated that if someone really wanted to come, they wouldn't let her wait for a long time. After all, it wouldn't take long to recite Buddhist scriptures. Besides, Xu Yingying would come back soon, so she wouldn't wait any longer.
In fact, even Fu Mingyu is not sure if anyone will come to gossip. After all, Wu Yun'er has been chanting Buddha's name for many years. If they really want to use this method to achieve their goal, then their goal has been achieved.
So Fu Mingyu came here to try his luck today. The most important thing was to check with Duke Dingguo's wife and see if no one reported the whereabouts of everyone in Duke Dingguo's residence.
Fu Mingyu sat here for about a stick of incense and felt his body gradually getting colder. Although this position was leeward and sheltered, it couldn't withstand the cold weather outside. It had snowed for so many days, and today was another cloudy day.
It looks like the snow may fall at any time. So the temperature is unusually low.
She felt that if she couldn't stand the cold any longer, she would just give up. It wouldn't be worth it to freeze herself too.
Just when Fu Mingyu felt that she couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to walk out, she heard footsteps coming from the door of the monastery.
She looked over intently, eh?! They were really enemies on a narrow road. It was Mrs. Andinghou and Ding Wanxin who came, followed by several maids.
"Madam, the eldest mistress of Dingguo Palace, the fifth young mistress and the eldest mistress of the Fu family are all inside, chanting sutras and resting!" said the Zhike monk who led the way.
"It's a coincidence." Mrs. Andinghou smiled and said, "You can arrange us in the same courtyard. We are all acquaintances."
"Actually, the monasteries in the west are all empty. If Mrs. Anding Hou doesn't mind, you can move to the monastery in the west." Zhike monk said with a smile.
"What? Do you think the people from Dingguo's mansion are here, and the people from Andinghou's mansion can't come?" Mrs. Andinghou said angrily.
"Not really, isn't it because everyone is pure?" Zhike Monk quickly said no and explained.
"It's not like Duke Dingguo's wife is here. Her two daughters-in-law are my juniors." Mrs. Andinghou said to the guest monk, "I will come if they come."
"In this case, please rest in the room here." Zhike Monk also had no choice but to take Mrs. Andinghou into another Zen room.
Fu Mingyu couldn't help but smile coldly. Recently, I heard that Zheng Wenxuan was highly valued by the Ministry of War, and Marquis Anding was praised by His Majesty for his contribution in building and supervising water conservancy in the south. Mrs. Marquis Anding was a little excited!
Fu Mingyu knew Mrs. Andinghou very well. After all, they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in their previous lives.
Mrs. Andinghou has always disliked people from Duke Dingguo's mansion. In her previous life, she had scolded Mrs. Dingguo in front of her.
