concubines are respected

Chapter 75
Three days later, the old lady and the old lady led the crowd to march towards Qingyun Temple.Accompanied by several chariots, they rushed out of the city in a mighty manner.

Accompanied by Yanzi, Suxian sat happily in one of the carriages, sometimes opened the small curtain of the side window to look out, sometimes touched the blue brocade shoes with layered soles in the package beside her, her face The smile grew stronger.

"Why haven't you arrived yet? I've been gone for almost an hour, and I should have arrived. Didn't you say that Qinglong Temple is on the outskirts of the city?" Swallow muttered impatiently, and opened the side curtain to look again. Already out of the city, the green pastoral scenery, mixed with the fragrance of the soil, rushed to my face.

"Soon, Qinglong Temple is about [-] miles away from the capital. According to the time, it's about time to arrive." Suxian followed Yanzi's gaze to look out, and saw a majestic green mountain standing proudly from a distance. The temples with yellow tiles are extremely dazzling among the lush forests.

"Here we are, Second Miss, take a look!" Swallow's voice rang in my ears.

Suxian smiled, her eyes glowed softly, and she murmured, "It's finally here, I don't know what happened to my father."

Soon, the chariot reached the foot of the mountain, and the old lady and the old lady, under the service of the servants, slowly stepped down from the chariot, looking up at the solemn mountain gate with a smile on their faces.

Xu Shi got the news in advance that outside the mountain gate, a master dressed in orange cassock, accompanied by two young novice monks, folded his hands and waited respectfully for the old matriarch.

"Master Huiming greets you in person, I am ashamed and dare not do it." Seeing this, the old lady quickened her pace a little, and stepped forward to salute.

"Old Madam Lin, it is the blessing of this temple to come to the Han Temple to pray for Concubine Yuan in person. The old monk ordered his disciples to lead the monks and wait quietly in the Daxiong Palace. When the auspicious time came, he began to chant scriptures and pray for Concubine Yuan. Good luck." Master Huiming sideways out of the way, signaled the old lady and the old lady to enter, glanced at the rest of the entourage, and moved his lips lightly, repeatedly chanting 'Namo Amitabha', the six-character holy words.

The old matriarch did not shirk, and after returning the salute with palms together, under the guidance of two young novice monks, she entered the mountain gate and headed for the Daxiong Hall.

Everyone followed behind and filed in. Master Huiming had been standing sideways at the gate of the mountain, chanting the holy words softly with his jaws folded together.

Stepping into the Buddha's peaceful place, no matter how impetuous people's hearts are, they gradually calmed down. Even the eldest lady who was doing evil on weekdays, and the arrogant and unruly Lin Zhilan did not dare to show arrogance anymore, and they all followed the example of the old lady. He put his hands together and quietly followed the crowd into the mountain gate.

Although Suxian often went to temples in her previous life, she often went there with the feeling of visiting ancient temples and historical sites. Suxian, who has never believed in gods and Buddhas, has no interest in prostrating in front of Buddhas.

Fortunately, in this life, when I was in the Kangzhou City Mansion, I often copied the scriptures for the old lady, and I was able to listen to and see them all day long, and I also learned some Buddhist language and Zen techniques.Seeing that everyone was so pious at this time, although Suxian was thinking about her father, she tried her best to restrain her eagerness, cheered up and walked to the temple with the flow of people.

Just as Master Huiming passed by, Master Huiming suddenly stopped reciting the six-character sacred words in his mouth, but raised his head slightly, and looked at Suxian with a pair of piercing eyes.

Suxian was slightly startled, and couldn't help but stop, saluted Master Huiming, and asked softly, "Master, what is this..."

Suxian's words are very light, but Huiming God seems to be in meditation, as if he has never heard of Suxian's question.

"Master, why are you in a daze? Is there something wrong with me?" Suxian felt a little nervous when she saw her, and she always felt that the deep eyes under the long silver whiskers seemed to be able to see everything and read people's hearts.

"Amitabha!" Master Huiming finally came back to his senses, chanted the Buddha's name with a resonant voice, and at the same time gave Suxian a deep blessing, and said with a half-smile, "The girl is indeed a blessed person!"

"Hehe, the master is absurd." Suxian smiled faintly, returned the salute again, and followed the crowd to the temple.

The Lin family is a prominent family in the capital, and even the closest relatives of Concubine Yuan. If it is said that it is a great blessing, it is not a lie, but if you look at the people who accompany you, anyone can match this statement, let alone yourself.Suxian didn't care about this praise.

Everyone stepped into the main hall, knelt down in front of the futons, and faced the majestic ancestor Buddha. After prostrating three times and prostrating nine times, a loud bell rang in the temple.

Thinking that the auspicious time has come, the melodious sound of chanting scriptures echoed in the spacious Daxiong Hall.

After about half an hour, the bell rang again outside the hall, and the chanting gradually weakened and gradually stopped.

"Old Madam Lin, after praying for blessings, please move to the cloud room for tea." Master Huiming stepped forward and said to the old matriarch, and then stepped out of the hall first, bypassed the right side of the hall, walked through a quiet path, and came to a Located in a fresh and elegant courtyard, this is the meditation room for pilgrims to rest and drink tea.

After entering the meditation room, everyone just sat down, the old lady was eager to think about her son, and quickly asked Master Huiming, "Dare to ask Master, my son Lin Mo Chengqian came to your temple to recuperate, how is he doing recently?"

Master Huiming smiled, "Old Madam, don't worry, Mr. Lin has been rejuvenated by Dr. Tang's wonderful hands. He has changed his sick appearance a long time ago. Now he can eat and sleep, and his body has recovered to seven or eight levels."

"Hehe, that's true. Your monastery is outstanding. My son has been in a state of insufficiency. It is thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, Amitabha..." The old lady put her hands together and chanted the Buddha's name softly.

Suxian couldn't hold back any longer, and said to the old lady with a smile, "Grandmother, let's go to my father's cloud room to have a look. Qian'er hasn't seen my father for more than half a year."

"That's right, Mo Cheng has been away for more than half a year, and I will keep it in mind." The old lady had a loving smile all over her face.

"But the old lady doesn't know something. As early as two months ago, the cloud house in the back room was renovated, and the craftsmen walked around all day. Master Lin and Doctor Tang moved to the Buddhist temple on the top of the mountain to recuperate. If you walk, you have to walk I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear the mountain road for half an hour." Master Huiming said hastily when he saw the old lady get up.

"Ah! This...how can this be..." The old lady was in a dilemma, the mountain road was winding and difficult to walk, she was old and her legs were inconvenient, how could she climb and walk.

The eldest madam was also a little anxious, the mountain road was not only difficult for the old madam, even she might not be able to bear it.Third Auntie also had a gloomy expression on her face, and when she thought of the rugged mountain road, her pair of willow eyebrows also tightened a step.

Master Huiming saw the distressed faces of the crowd, and said with a smile, "There are bearers at the bottom of the mountain to take you up the mountain, but it's almost lunch time, and the bearers have already gone back to have their meals. Maybe it's not too late before we can return to the top." Work. According to the old monk, it is better for the old lady to take a short break, and after lunch, wait for the bearers to come, and it is better to use the sedan chair instead of walking."

"That's the only way to go, then I'll bother the master." Although the old lady was impatient, she had no choice but to turn around and sit back on the chair.

At this time, there are still two hours before Weishi, Suxian doesn't want to just wait like this. Although her body is much weaker than her previous life, it is not difficult to walk half an hour on the mountain road, so she can't help but turn her head and smile, "Grandmother, Since Qian'er is fine, how about letting Qian'er go up the mountain first to meet his father?"

Before the old lady opened her mouth, the old lady said with a worried face, "Why are you so anxious, we will take care of each other when we go up the mountain together later, how can you go one step ahead."

The Da Furen's words are not because Suxian is too tired because she is heartbroken, but because she doesn't want Suxian to meet the master alone, so she speaks to obstruct her.

Suxian pretended to be full of words and wanted to talk to her father alone, but seeing the eldest lady's objection, she still insisted on saying, "Mother, Xian'er misses my father, and now my father is close at hand, but I have to wait for two hours, Suxian I can't wait any longer, I hope my mother will be happy."

While speaking, Suxian glanced at the pair of delicate little feet exposed under Lin Zhilan's skirt, a sly gleam flashed in her eyes, she looked at the lady with a smile and said, "If mother is worried that there will be no one to take care of Xian'er on the road, It's better to let the eldest sister go with Qian'er, we two sisters talked and laughed along the way, so we have a companion."

After finishing speaking, he deliberately turned sideways and said to Lin Zhilan, "Elder Sister, how do you look?"

"This..." Lin Zhilan showed a hesitant expression on her face. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she never went out on weekdays. Now, it is impossible for her to walk the mountain road for half an hour, "This... "In front of everyone, Lin Zhilan said no, and neither did she.If I agree, I don't want to be so tired from the bottom of my heart. If I refuse, I worry that I will be suspected of being unfilial.

At the moment of embarrassment, the eldest lady took the words, "Your eldest sister suffered from a cold a few days ago, and her body is still not recovering, so how can she walk the mountain road. Well, since you insist on going ahead, I will promise you as a mother."

"Hehe, then Qian'er will be one step ahead." With a deep smile on Suxian's face, she turned around and gave a deep blessing to the old lady and the old lady. Accompanied by Yanzi, she strode out of the meditation room.

There is a round arch at the back door of the temple, and behind the arch is a row of not-so-wide bluestone paths leading to the top of the mountain.Suxian, master and servant, walked and stopped while talking, although they were a little tired, they were in a happy mood.

After half an hour's trek through the mountains, Suxian quickly finished.Ascending to the high platform, Suxian looked at the distant mountains, with clouds and mist shrouded in front of his eyes, which at first glance seemed like a fairyland on earth.

"It really is a good place!" Suxian said with emotion.

"Yes, Second Miss, this place is not a place of mortals, but rather a place where gods live." Swallow spread his hands flat, took a deep breath, and said with a crisp laugh.

"Swallow, there is a small house in front of you. It must be the house where my father recuperates. Don't delay, let me go and have a look." Suxian turned around, and not far ahead, there was an exquisite small courtyard shrouded in green bamboo forest. And stand.

Suxian stepped forward quickly, picked up the bronze door button outside the courtyard door and tapped it a few times, and there was a door answer from the room, "Who is it?"

"Excuse me, can Master Lin Mocheng recuperate here?" Suxian asked softly.

Hearing the sound, the people in the courtyard opened the courtyard door with a 'squeak', and a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old in green clothes stood at the door, looking up and down on Suxian with some vigilance, "Who is the girl, please?" Do you have anything to do with Mr. Lin?"

"Hehe, this little brother, I am Lin Suxian, the daughter of Lord Lin, and I went up the mountain to visit my father." Suxian responded with a smile, and immediately looked into the courtyard.

At this time, an angry inquiry came from the wing facing the courtyard door, "Xiaoxiang, who is calling the door outside?"

The boy called Xiaoxiang turned around and replied respectfully, "Master, it's a girl who claims to be Master Lin's daughter, and said she came here specially to visit Master Lin."

"Oh? Ask her to come in." The door did not open, and the voice continued to come from the room.
