Zhaoming Temple is located in East Tianmu Mountain, and there is an Amitabha Village at the foot of the mountain.
Yu Tang, Ma Xiuniang, and Mr. Zhang made an appointment to meet here, and then pretended to meet by chance, and went to Zhaoming Temple together.
Ma Xiuniang and Mr. Zhang arrived before Yu Tang.
Yu Tang got off the sedan chair and apologized repeatedly.
Ma Xiuniang brought her maid, Xi Que, and smiled and held Yu Tang's arm with her lips pursed, and said with a smile, "We are not much earlier than you." She then asked Yu Tang, "Have you had breakfast? Have you ever brought some refreshments and tea?" ?” After speaking, he glanced at Ah Shao, who was out of breath.
To get to Zhaoming Temple, you have to climb half a mountain, and the road is still a bit far. Everyone must have a pious heart because of incense, or because the price of sedan chairs up the mountain is too expensive, they usually get off the sedan chair at the foot of the mountain and walk all the way.
Ah Shao hurriedly patted the bundle on her back, and said, "Miss Ma, don't worry, Mrs. Chen prepared it for us yesterday." Then she went forward to salute Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang nodded.
Yu Tang cast a quick glance at him curiously.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he is tall and thin, with a fair appearance and fair appearance, and looks very gentle.
In the case of poor family conditions, he was admitted to Tongsheng at this age, which shows that his hard work and qualifications are not bad.
Yu Tang likes smart people.
Mr. Zhang brought a servant and asked Ma Xiuniang and Yu Tang to walk in front.
Yu Tang kidnapped Ma Xiuniang and joked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law looks pretty good! Uncle chose a good marriage for sister."
Ma Xiuniang blushed with embarrassment, but she didn't even say a polite word.
It can be seen that they are very satisfied with this marriage.
Yu Tang asked, "What's your brother-in-law's name?"
Ma Xiuniang said in a low voice: "Single name has a character of Hui, and the character has not been taken yet."
Zhang Hui
I don't know when in the previous life he passed the examination as a scholar
Yu Tang once again lamented his big heart in his previous life.
Maybe there are a lot of people walking, but the mountain road leading to Zhaoming Temple is winding but flat, and it is not a lecture or an incense meeting. There are not many people who go to offer incense, and they are all old or middle-aged women, young like them A young girl with a young man behind her is very eye-catching. People who pass by them will look back at them more.
Although she was wearing a veiled hat, Ma Xiuniang was still too ashamed, and said to Yu Tang in a low voice: "Let's, let's make an appointment with Mr. Zhang to meet?"
This day, Ma Xiuniang brought a maid, and she brought a servant, Yu Tang thought about it, and nodded with a smile.
Ma Xiuniang turned around and said a few words to the magpie, and the magpie covered her mouth with a smile and went to pass the message to Zhang Hui.
Zhang Hui looked up at Ma Xiuniang for a few times, then nodded reluctantly, which made Yu Tang laugh again.
Ma Xiuniang went to pinch Yutang, and said coquettishly: "We are not doing this for you. If people see something, we will stop being human!"
Yu Tang repeatedly apologized, and joked: "Don't worry, sister. When you leave the cabinet, I will embroider a pair of mandarin duck pillows for my sister no matter what."
"You damn girl, you're still talking nonsense."
Ma Xiuniang and Yu Tang were chatting and laughing, time passed quickly, and they arrived at Zhaoming Temple just as the sun was rising.
The two went to the Palace of Heavenly Kings.
Yu Tang took off his hat.
Ma Xiuniang exclaimed in a low voice: "A Tang, you are so beautiful today!"
Yu Tang was wearing a red silk embroidered twig flower beanie today, a white silver striped shirt with a stand-up collar and narrow sleeves, and black silk tied up with a cloud. The small steps made her skin as radiant as snow, her eyebrows as picturesque, fresh and beautiful.
She smiled slightly.
Then Li Jun said that he liked her appearance, so she wanted to see how much Li Jun liked her appearance.
She not only applied the face, but also twisted her forehead and trimmed her eyebrows.
Come with makeup.
Ma Xiuniang said with emotion: "You should dress up more usually."
It may be because Chen is a beauty. Although Yu Tang often hears people praise her for being beautiful, most of the people who praise her are relatives and friends in the family or the elders of the neighbors next door. When they look at the mirror side by side with their mother, they don’t feel how beautiful they are. , I think everyone is saying polite words. After marrying into Li's family and being coveted by Li Duan, she realized that she might be more beautiful than many people, but she was already a widow at that time, and she had rules in dressing and dressing. On weekdays, I try my best to dress myself in a simple and low-key way.
After rebirth, some habits have not been changed for a while, so it is no wonder that Ma Xiuniang was a little surprised.
The two offered incense and rested in the verandah where the pilgrims were entertained. A Shao went to find out where Li Jun was.
Ma Xiuniang stared at Yu Tang's face again and sighed: "Don't tell me, the more I look at you, the more beautiful I feel, especially the way you speak and look at me, it seems to be very different from before. But I don't think you are too It's a change of clothes and a piece of jewelry! Could it be that I have had too little contact with you before?"
It may be because some experiences of the previous life are engraved in her bones, and now she is more assertive and courageous than her previous life.
Yu Tang smiled and said, "You are the one who sees beauty in the eye of the beholder. I don't know if it's the same with brother-in-law?"
"You scoundrel, I'll help you, but you're laughing at me!"
The two quarreled again.
After a long time, Ma Xiuniang and Yu Tang collapsed on the Luohan couch respectively.
She said: "I think, just based on your appearance, you are the only one who disagrees with others, and no one else disagrees with you. If you think the second young master of the Li family can see it well, will you agree to this marriage?"
Ma Xiuniang had never seen Li Jun with her own eyes, so she didn't know what Li Jun looked like.
Won't!
Yu Tang almost blurted out.
She then thought that it would be strange if she denied Li Jun outright in this situation, and said, "Marrying is not just marrying him alone, but marrying their family."
"That's true." Ma Xiuniang thought for a while, and said, "If I had a mother-in-law like Mrs. Li, I would be bored to death."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Ma Xiuniang finally stopped persuading her.
Yu Tang asked about Ma Xiuniang's marriage.
Ma Xiuniang told her that she and Mr. Zhang would get married in the second half of the year, and said that Mr. Zhang's family lacked someone to host the middle-aged couple, and wanted her to get through the door earlier: "My mother is also a straightforward person, and she thinks that it is a matter of not agreeing. , since I agreed, we are a family, how to live a good life is serious, and some things, generally can get along." After finishing speaking, she quietly told her, "My mother said in front of people outside that our two families have a long-term relationship. We discussed marriage, but we were still young and didn't mention it seriously, so as not to say that we were engaged in the front foot, and the back foot became a marriage, if someone asks you, don't let it slip."
"I know, I know!" Yu Tang was a little envious of Ma Xiuniang's smooth marriage.
I don't know who she will marry
Recruiting a son-in-law is easy to say, but it is very difficult to recruit a man of good character and intelligence.
Yu Tang sighed quietly in his heart.
Ah Siao came back to report to her: "The second young master of the Li family wore a bamboo green silk Taoist gown, with a white jade bamboo hairpin, a white belt, and a pair of purses, one water green, like a sachet; the other lake green. , as you wish. Drink tea with some classmates at Wu Dao Song."
Wudao Song is next to the Sutra Pavilion on the east side of Zhaoming Temple. It is an ancient pine tree with a cover like an umbrella, which can shade for several feet. Many scholars in Lin'an like to hold poetry meetings there, drink tea and play chess. The monks in the temple set up stone tables, stone benches, bamboo mats and wooden couches under the trees for those scholars to play.
Yu Tang said: "How far is it from the Xibi Spring we made an appointment with Mr. Zhang?"
Washing Brush Spring is another interesting place in Zhaoming Temple. It is on a cliff in the back mountain of Zhaoming Temple. There is a small spring flowing from the belly of the mountain. The spring water is clear and sweet. It is said that drinking the spring water can clear eyesight, refresh the mind, and be smart in reading. Many families in Lin'an City have children, especially boys. Everyone would come here to fetch a cup of water for their children to drink, so that the children would be smart after drinking it. Some people even come here to get a cup of water to drink when they have a headache. Not to mention those who come to Zhaoming Temple to offer incense, they must come here to drink a sip of mountain spring water.
A Shao cleverly said: "I've already looked. Let's go west from here, turn north at Wudao Song, and there is a Taoist gate that leads to the back mountain of Zhaoming Temple. After leaving the gate, go east, there is a road dedicated to washing brushes spring."
In other words, they have to circle around from the Wudao Song.
If it wasn't for the fact that there was a Taoist gate leading to the back mountain of Zhaoming Temple and someone discovered it, would they say they lost their way
Ma Xiuniang covered her face.
She decided where to meet Zhang Gongzi.
Yu Tang laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up, and urged her: "Let's go quickly, be careful what happens if we go late."
Ma Xiuniang didn't care about the embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Then let's go!"
Yu Tang straightened his sideburns, put on his veiled cap again, and went to Wudao Song with Ma Xiuniang.
Wudao Matsushita spread out seven or eight mats, a few young students sat cross-legged and talked, and a dozen young men stood beside them, playing fans, burning incense, or making tea... There were also people watching in twos and threes .
It seems that all the pilgrims of Zhaoming Temple gathered here.
Ma Xiuniang said nervously, "What should we do? Even if we walk past like this, they won't notice us!"
Yu Tang sneered.
Didn't Mrs. Lin say that Li Jun took a fancy to her
Then he must know himself and have a deep impression.
Ma Xiuniang asked cautiously, "What are you going to do?"
According to what they thought before, as long as they walked over and got Li Jun's attention, it would be fine.
Yu Tang said: "Sister, you stay here, I'll just pretend to watch the fun and take a look."
Ma Xiuniang hesitated, "Isn't that bad?"
Yu Tang knew that this would be risky, so he couldn't bring Ma Xiuniang in.
She smiled and said: "It's okay, you listen to me, there will be nothing wrong." After finishing speaking, before Ma Xiuniang could react, she told the magpie "Take care of your eldest lady", and walked towards Wu Daosong.
Ma Xiuniang wanted to call Yu Tang back, but she didn't expect Yu Tang to walk like flying, and quickly walked a foot away. She looked at the people around her and had to swallow her cry.
Although Yu Tang is not tall, he has a slender waist and long legs, light footsteps, and a graceful demeanor. Before he reached Wudao Song, the group of half-sized men pretending to be celebrities and elegant scholars in Wudao Songxia all noticed, and opened their eyes wide. come over.
Wudao Panasonic's noise gradually became smaller.
