Huguo Temple is halfway up the mountain, and the road is built to the foot of the mountain. To go to Huguo Temple, you need to walk up from the bottom of the mountain, but there are steps built with bluestones, which is relatively easy to walk.
There are no porters here. If you want to go to Huguo Temple, you have to walk up it yourself. No one has any objection. In their view, this is a sign of respect for the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. If anyone asks someone to carry them up the mountain, it is disrespectful to the Buddha.
, will be punished by Buddha.
However, Huguo Temple also knows that many of the people who come to worship are dignitaries, and many of them are physically weak, so they have built many pavilions along the road. If you can't walk anymore, you can rest in the pavilion for a while before continuing to walk up.
.
He Yunxi stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the stairs. They were not very steep and walking should not be very tiring. With the current bodies of the concubine and Liu, climbing up the mountain would not be a big problem.
It was the first time for Lu Yunjiao and the other little guys to come to this kind of temple. They were very curious and very enthusiastic about climbing the mountain. He Yunxi asked Mo Miao and Chi Yue to follow them first to protect their safety.
She herself followed the concubine, Mrs. Liu and the others.
They walked to Huguo Temple, which was not particularly high, for almost an hour, stopping twice to eat some cakes and drink two cups of herbal tea.
In the words of the concubine: Only when you are full can you have the strength to climb the mountain!
When we arrived in front of the temple, there were already monks waiting in front of the gate.
Seeing the concubine, the monk put his hands together and saluted: "Donor, long time no see."
"Master, long time no see." The concubine clasped her hands in return.
"The temple is ready. It is the same one you are used to living in before. The donor can go and rest first. Master Wu Lai will leave half a day for the donor tomorrow." The monk said, "Donor, please come with the poor monk."
He Yunxi and the others followed the monk, and then they heard a dissatisfied voice from behind: "Didn't you say that there is no empty courtyard now? Why did those people have a courtyard to live in later?"
"Donor, that's a noble person from the royal family, and the courtyard they stay in is also a special courtyard. If you are a member of the royal family, you can also stay there." The speaker was a young novice monk. He looked at the lady who spoke with his bare head and said with a simple expression.
.
The lady stopped talking. Do they dare to offend the royal family?
He Yunxi didn't hear the lady speak anymore, and sighed in his heart that in an era when imperial power was supreme, the feeling of being in the royal family was still a bit wonderful.
"Donor, the yard has been cleaned once today. If you want to clean it yourself, you can go to the front yard to find someone to get cleaning tools. There is a well in the next yard."
The monk left after saying that, and the concubine took He Yunxi and Liu into the room. Although the place was relatively simple, it still looked very clean.
The concubine was tired after walking for so long. He Yunxi and Mrs. Liu helped her rest, and then retreated together.
Liu's room was naturally next to the concubine. After He Yunxi and her entered, he asked: "Mom, I think you seem to be in a trance. If you are tired, you should take a good rest."
Mrs. Liu was a little bit in a bad mood, so she nodded along with He Yunxi's words and went to bed with Mrs. Zhao taking care of her.
But she did not sleep, but stared blankly at the tent ceiling.
For many years, she thought she would never return to the place where the tragedy began, but unexpectedly she still came.
He Yunxi did not go back to her room. Climbing this small mountain was a trivial matter for her, and she did not feel tired at all. She followed the concubine and Liu out, so naturally she had to arrange their affairs.
They arranged for the people accompanying them to clean up, and sent people to find a few little ones, but they did not come back after knowing where they lived. Then they also arranged dinner for a while.
After finishing all this work, He Yunxi went back to his room to rest.
"Madam, I think the old lady's condition is not very good," Luo Fu said.
Of course He Yunxi noticed something was wrong with Mrs. Liu, she had more or less guessed it.
Lu Yan once said that Mrs. Liu rescued a man behind the temple, but Lu Yuanzhen slandered her and said she was unruly, so he divorced her.
I think this is the temple.
"Mom must be tired, just take a rest." He Yunxi had no intention of telling them about Liu's affairs, "I'm going out for a walk, you can come with me."
"Yes, ma'am."
He Yunxi and Nanny Qin told them that they were going out. Nanny Qin said: "Madam, the dinner at Huguo Temple is at Youshi. After Youshi, the dining room will no longer provide food."
"I understand. Thank you Aunt Qin for informing me." He Yunxi thanked him and took Gu Yu and Luo Fu out for a walk.
The scenery of Huguo Temple is very good. He Yunxi first paid homage in several halls, and then went outside to the back mountain. When he walked out of the largest peach forest here, he heard a crisp and reluctant voice: "
Brother Xuan, we are going back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? How come it's so fast?" A voice that was in the period of voice change was not that unpleasant, but it was still clear that it was a man.
Men and women meet?
In this day and age, that doesn’t seem very good, right?
She stopped with Luo Fu and Gu Yu, not to break into others. She originally planned to turn around and leave, but stopped after hearing what was behind her.
"Mom said that there will be a lotus banquet in the palace in a few days, so we should go back and prepare well," the woman said.
"I heard that the Lotus Banquet is about choosing concubines for several princes. You go to attend..."
"Brother Xuan, I'm still young, so it won't be my turn to choose, right?" The woman was not worried, "I heard that this time the main task is to select concubines for the third and fourth princes, and my third sister is more likely to be selected.
big."
"That's good." The man's tone was much more relaxed.
"Sister Hua, when you are old enough, I will come to propose marriage."
"Brother Xuan, I'm waiting for you."
"Miss, it's time for us to leave." The maids over there urged him. He Yunxi was afraid of bumping into them, so he left the Taolin first.
Not long after they went out, they saw a young lady and a maid coming out of the peach grove. Seeing He Yunxi, the young lady was stunned for a moment. However, it seemed that they had just arrived here, so they left without saying anything.
"Madam, that is the lady of the Ministry of Official Affairs," Gu Yu said.
He Yunxi raised his eyebrows: What a coincidence?
Judging from her age, she is probably the woman who was engaged to Xiaoxi in her previous life.
This is where the heart belongs!
Then she probably didn't die from a serious illness in her previous life.
It seems like this is really going to be excluded.
"They probably chose this place because the peach blossoms have faded and the scenery is not good, so they thought no one would come." Gu Yu guessed.
"Maybe. Let's go. Let's pretend we haven't heard anything about other people's affairs." He Yunxi said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
They went down the mountain and saw a group of people gathering in the distance. When they walked over, they heard Lu Yunqing's angry voice.
