Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 37
A few days after the brothers of the Du family came to the study, Du Yanyun and Du Yanyu also came.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Du's absence, Du Yanyu walked around the study, looking here to touch, her face could not stop being excited.

If it hadn't been for Xiao Huaisu to serve Qiu Ling with tea and personally pull her to sit down, Du Yanyu might not be able to stop.

Du Yanyu took a sip of tea, stuck out her tongue with a smile, "I don't dare to come here on weekdays, luckily my grandfather is not here today, otherwise I might have to go back."

Old Mrs. Du usually has a majestic look on his face. Although his grandchildren respect him, they dare not get too close to Mrs. Du, especially Du Yanyu.

"You girl, aren't you afraid of being heard by your grandfather?" Du Yanyun tapped Du Yanyu's forehead, and lightly reprimanded: "Grandpa always loves you for nothing?" Longing and envy.

"Oh, Second Sister, take it easy!"

Du Yanyu covered her forehead with a soft cry, and said with an aggrieved face: "I didn't mean that, just...that's..." He pointed at Xiao Huaisu and said, "Cousin must know what I'm thinking."

Xiao Huaisu smiled lightly, and his manner was calm and elegant, which is quite a bit of everyone's tolerance, "Second sister means that although grandfather is kind, but he is strict in kindness, we respect it in our hearts, but if you get too close, it will destroy this kind of relationship." A sense of distance, isn't it?"

Du Yanyu's eyes lit up, she clapped her palms and said with a smile: "Yes, that's what it means, my cousin understands me best!" As she spoke, she pulled Xiao Huaisu into another kiss.

Du Yanyun was silent at the side, waiting for the two of them to calm down, and then sighed: "It's only been less than two months, I feel like my cousin has been reborn, and being with my grandfather is really beneficial, even I am so envious Woolen cloth!"

"Second sister, stop praising me," Xiao Huaisu glanced at Du Yanyun, "A while ago, my grandfather said that my handwriting was a bit impetuous, so let me calm down, the flowers in that painting are like weeds..." said I couldn't help but covered my lips and smiled, and after a while I straightened my expression again, "There are still many things to learn, I'm afraid that in a few years, I won't be able to learn the skills of my grandfather."

Du Yanyun nodded in agreement, and then talked about the business of coming here today, "I originally wanted to talk to my grandmother directly, but my mother asked me to ask you first." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Huaisu, and the corners of his lips curled slightly Xiao Wen said, "My mother wants to enshrine a memorial tablet to my second aunt in the Daxiangguo Temple, so that she can enjoy secular incense. My cousin can also go to put incense on my second aunt on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, showing my filial piety."

Xiao Huaisu blushed in embarrassment when he realized it, "I didn't think of this, and I have to bother my aunt and second cousin, it really makes me feel ashamed."

"Cousin, what are you talking about?"

Du Yanyun smiled and waved his hands, with a calm demeanor, "You are only a little old, how can you remember all these things, my mother only thought of this when she was free, and wanted to ask what you mean... But I miss grandma Most likely that side agrees."

"Ah."

Xiao Huaisu nodded, "If I don't turn around, I'll tell my grandmother that my aunt thinks so much about me, so naturally I can't take away her kindness."

"Well."

Du Yanyun stood up, took Xiao Huaisu's hand and patted it again, "You discuss with grandma for a while, and when the date is fixed, let's say, we will go to Daxiangguo Temple together at that time, and I can also offer incense sticks for my second aunt. "

When it was time to leave, Du Yanyu also flipped through many of Xiao Huaisu's paintings, and asked for several of them, saying that he would take them back and make patterns, but he didn't know where to use them.

Xiao Huaisu thought for a while before he said: "What kind of pattern does third cousin usually like, if it is used as a handkerchief, I am afraid that the patterns I drew are too big, and some embroidered screen murals and so on are also suitable, it is you Don't think I'm ugly."

"How can I, I look good!"

Du Yanyu waved her hands with a smile. She has recently learned to be a female celebrity, and she is very interested. Seeing these novel paintings by Xiao Huaisu, it is inevitable that she wants to practice her skills.

The sisters chattered for a while, and then they dispersed.

Daxiangguo Temple is the guardian temple of Dazhou. It is said that many years ago, there was a holy monk who knew astronomy and geography. He lived to be over a hundred years old. It is enshrined in the temple and has attracted countless believers.

Daxiangguo Temple was built in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was originally named Jianguo Temple. In the first year of Yanhe in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty named it Daxiangguo Temple in commemoration of his ascending to the throne by King Xiang. It covers an area of ​​540 mu and governs 64 Zen and law The temple, with more than a thousand monks, is the largest temple in Bianjing City and the center of Buddhist activities in the country, including the Temple of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of Great Heroes, the Hall of Octagonal Glazed Glass, the Library of Buddhist Sutras, and the Buddha with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes.

There have always been wealthy nobles here who come to offer incense and pray for blessings, so when targeting a certain family, they did not deliberately clear the scene. The female family members of the famous family have taboos, and they walk through the corner door in the backyard, which is different from ordinary people. Come.

Walking among the temples, feeling the solemnity of the Buddha statues, even Xiao Huaisu became nervous.

Mrs. Du took her little hand, she couldn't feel the sweat on her palm, she just comforted in a low voice: "The Daxiangguo Temple is full of solemn treasures, you will inevitably feel a little stressed when you come here for the first time, treat each other with a normal heart , I’ll get used to it the more times I come here in the future.”

Xiao Huaisu nodded slightly, his mood gradually calmed down, and he raised his head and smiled showing two small canine teeth, "Grandma, don't worry, Huai Su will save it!"

The Wang family and the master of Daxiangguo Temple had already agreed to enshrine a memorial tablet for Du Boshu in the Daxiong Palace, and donated 1000 taels of sesame oil.

It will take a while to wait for the carving of the tablet to be placed properly. After Mrs. Du and her party burned incense in front of the Buddha, they were taken to the backyard by the little novice to rest.

Du Yanyun held Xiao Huaisu with one hand and Du Yanyu with the other. He behaved properly and walked slowly, showing a bit of a sister's demeanor.

Du Yanyu poked her head out and blinked at Xiao Huaisu, then said with a smile: "Cousin, we're going to eat vegetarian food here later, you don't know, the vegetarian food here is famous, it's delicious!"

Du Yanyun smiled and shot Du Yanyu a look, "You girl knows how to eat, but don't spoil my cousin, she will become your glutton too!"

Xiao Huaisu smiled and shook his head, "Second cousin is wrong, food is the most important thing for the people, Huai Su and third cousin have the same hobbies, it seems that today is really lucky."

Du Yanyu suddenly felt like-minded, she took off Du Yanyun's hand, turned around and took Xiao Huaisu's arm, and whispered in her ear: "Cousin, after the fast meal, let's go to Xiaohoushan. The green calyx is a must, and I'm planning to pick a few back to make plum blossom dew!"
