"Huaguang Temple is indeed very famous. I heard it mentioned more than once when I was in Jiangzhou. I really need to go and see it!" The old lady was a Buddhist. After hearing what she said, she nodded repeatedly.
"Grandma is going too?" Qin Wanru asked taking advantage of the situation.
"I won't go now. There are so many things going on in the house all of a sudden, and many things have not been settled. Zhuo Zhuo and Ruolan will go take a look first. When I am free, you can accompany me." The old lady said with a smile. .
"Mother, I won't go now. The house is too messy and someone has to clean it up." Shui Ruolan really wanted to go. She is also a person who loves peace and quiet. Besides, the reputation of Huaguang Temple is very popular. " Mother and Wanru, let’s go take a look, and I’ll go there next time when I have a chance!”
Qin Huaiyong had already stated before that she was in charge of matters in the backyard. The house was in chaos and many things had not been dealt with. It was really not a good time to go out.
"This..." The old lady hesitated and felt that it was not the best time for Shui Ruolan to travel at this time.
"Grandma, my mother and I will go for a short walk to find the way. We won't stay for long. I have already inquired about it. It takes an hour at most to come and go. Let's go early and come back early. When we come back, maybe I can still make it in time for lunch, so I won’t have to worry about anything.”
Qin Wanru pleaded on the side.
If it is really so close, it is indeed not a big deal. Seeing her granddaughter’s helpless look, the old lady relaxed, smiled and said to Shui Ruolan: "Ruolan, just take her there to avoid this." The little monkey can't stay still, so if you go early and come back early, you won't have to worry about anything. From now on, if you really take care of things, it won't be so convenient to go out!"
These words are very meaningful. After thinking about it, it is indeed such a thing. I just arrived in the capital and officially took charge of the affairs. I really couldn't leave for a while. In addition, it was winter and I had to wait for a while to celebrate the New Year. If you do this as a gift, there will be more things to do, and even if you want to steal even half a day's leisure, it will not work.
It's better to take a break for a long time while the old lady is tidying up.
Thinking of this, Shui Ruolan was moved: "Then... Mother, Wanru and I will go back quickly."
"Tomorrow I'm going to meet some old stewards first and ask about some old affairs. It's okay for you two to play for a little longer!" the old lady said with a smile.
A few people were chatting and laughing, but they left Di and her daughter aside in the cold.
Originally, she wanted to come over and give everyone a warning first, and then show her kindness to Qin Wanru. However, Di Shi, who was leading everyone by the nose, secretly gritted his teeth angrily.
He suppressed the jealousy in his heart and put on a peaceful smile, "Mom, Yuru and I want to go to Yong-Kangbo Mansion. We have entered Beijing and haven't seen my father and mother yet!"
"You go too!" The old lady nodded.
"General, do you want to go with me?" Di asked again.
"Of course I'm going. You can prepare gifts later, and go to Yong-Kangbo Mansion with Huaier tomorrow!" The old lady thought for a while and said.
"Yes, mother, it's just that I haven't returned to Beijing for many years. Do you think these gifts are a little thin?" Di pretended to take out a gift list, walked over and handed it to the old lady.
This gift list was deliberately drawn up by her, and she also deliberately drew it up.
The old lady took a look at the gift list and frowned, "This is a little short, please add a few more."
"Mom, the money from the previous store..." Di looked embarrassed.
"I'll ask Aunt Duan to add a few more for you later!" The old lady interrupted her cry.
"Thank you mother! Then I will go back to my parents' home with the general tomorrow." Di's face showed pride, she turned to Shui Ruolan and said with a smile, "Sister, I originally wanted to go with my sister tomorrow, but now I can't. I can’t stay with my sister anymore.”
This is to show off that Qin Huaiyong is accompanying her instead of Shui Ruolan!
"Sister, just go and do your own business!" Shui Ruolan said calmly, as if she didn't notice that Di was deliberately showing off to her.
Early the next morning, Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan both got up early. They got into the same carriage, each brought a maid, and headed to Huaguang Temple.
When we arrived at Huaguang Temple, the genius had just emerged, but there were already many pilgrims.
Huaguang Temple is indeed the largest temple in Beijing. When we stopped the carriage in the parking lot outside the mountain gate, we found that a lively street market had formed outside.
There are sellers of incense, candles, delicacies, and flowers. There are even silk and satin materials placed in simple shops. When pilgrims come to Huaguang Temple, they can not only worship Buddha, but also go to the lively market. Very.
It was also the first time for Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan to see such a busy mountain gate. They looked up at the tall mountain gate behind them and had to sigh again. This is the first temple in the capital and a royal temple. It is indeed extraordinary and better than they imagined. better.
The two decided to go hiking at Zhengshan Gate.
Entering the Zhengshan Gate, there are steps. The high steps extend up to the real Huaguang Temple.
With so many steps superimposed, the original bustle and bustle has also fallen behind. Looking back, what is underfoot is the bustle, and what is heard above the head is the distant bell, which eliminates the irritability in people's hearts. .
Even though we haven't arrived at the real Huaguang Temple yet, it already gives people a feeling of being otherworldly.
The road to climb the mountain is very long. It is said that this section of the road is also called the Road to Ask the Heart. Qin Wanru came here once in his last life and went up this road to ask the mind. When he walked to this mountain step, he raised his head and looked up at this mountain step. After a lifetime, Feelings arise spontaneously!
It was still early, and there were not many people climbing the mountain. Looking over from them, they could only see an old woman walking up with a maid and a mother-in-law in the distance.
The old woman was not wearing a very gorgeous brocade dress, she just looked like an ordinary wealthy person. She might have been tired from walking, so she stopped and stood on the steps to take a rest.
Seeing this old woman, Qin Wanru's eyes flashed with excitement, and she clenched the hand holding the handkerchief tightly. She had known this old woman in her previous life, and she was exactly the person she was looking for this time, Mrs. Ruian. The eldest princess.
The eldest princess of Ruian is the emperor's aunt. She was married to General Xi who accompanied the late emperor to open up new territories. Unfortunately, General Xi died on the battlefield, so she raised her daughter by herself until her daughter grew up. After getting married, he devoted his love to Buddhist rituals.
Her favorite place to come is Huaguang Temple. In fact, she doesn’t just come to pay homage to the Buddha. She also comes early to board the way to ask questions at the main entrance of Huaguang Temple. Asking questions means asking about the original mind. This is originally a Buddhist tradition. What is your original intention
She comes almost every first three days of every month, and today is the third day of this month.
In the previous life, Qin Wanru also met the eldest princess Ruian here. She saw her climbing most of the steps in one breath. The eldest princess liked her very much at that time and once invited her to the eldest princess's mansion. After that, the eldest princess indeed sent several messages to the Qin Mansion to invite Qin Wanru to come, but she was rejected by Di Shiji for various reasons. In the end, it was Qin Wanru who was invited, and Qin Yuru who went.
After a while, the eldest princess Ruian lost her interest, and there were no more posts after that.
The scene where Qin Yuru went to attend the eldest princess’s banquet in her previous life suddenly appeared in her mind:
"The eldest princess invited a young lady from our Qin Mansion. Look at you. With such a reputation, you will lose the face of our Qin Mansion. When news of what happened in Jiangzhou came around, you still have the nerve to go out!" Qin Yuru wore Standing in front of Qin Wanru beautifully, she looked arrogant and full of contempt, as if Qin Wanru was the lowest filth.
"If someone talks about you when you go out, even the slaves will feel embarrassed!"
"Even if you don't care about your reputation, you are not even as good as an innocent servant!"... The twittering was the voice of the maids following Qin Yuru. They all looked at Qin Wanru with their chins down, without thinking about them at all. He is just a servant, Qin Wanru is the mistress.
In her last life, she was not even as good as a servant in the backyard of the Qin Mansion! But because Qin Yuru had received several invitations from the eldest princess Ruian, everyone would take the initiative to send a post to her at any banquet in the future for the sake of the eldest princess Ruian, and finally succeeded in becoming one of the most talented women in Beijing. And he is well-known in Beijing.
He took a gentle breath to wipe away the coldness in his eyes, then raised his head, his eyes fell on the kind face of Princess Ruian, and his heart slowly warmed up.
In this life, he will never waste the kindness of the eldest princess, and he will never let Qin Yuru step on the kindness of the eldest princess to him and be favored by the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
"Mother, let's go up quickly!" After thinking clearly, Qin Wanru whispered to Shui Ruolan, "I heard that this is Huaguang Temple's way of asking questions. What you ask is your true heart. The longer you persist, the better you can ask. Get to your heart!"
"Okay!" Shui Ruolan looked up at the almost endless steps extending upwards and nodded. She was also filled with melancholy. She didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong. Taking advantage of these many steps , ask yourself what your heart is, or it may be exactly what you need!
The two of them climbed up together with the maid. When they passed the eldest princess Ruian, she smiled specially at the eldest princess Ruian, but did not stop and continued to go up.
A girl with pink makeup and a pair of watery eyes is very attractive. When you look closely, you can see her exquisite facial features, long eyelashes, and small pink lips, like a porcelain doll.
The eldest princess of Ruian let out a soft "eh" and watched Qin Wanru walking past her. For such a small person, it was not enough to leave by herself. From time to time, she looked back and tried to pull the young man walking behind her. woman.
"Eldest Princess, what's the matter?" Following her up the steps was her personal mother-in-law, Grandma Gao, who hurriedly asked after hearing her voice of surprise.
"Which family does such a beautiful girl belong to?" The eldest princess looked at Qin Wanru who was slowly walking away with a smile, and said curiously, it is really embarrassing to be so beautiful, so young and so sensible. I feel like it in my heart.
"This... this servant has never seen it before!" Aunt Gao squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, but she didn't remember which family it was from, "Maybe it's not from the capital!"
She could only guess this!
"What a beautiful and sensible girl!" The eldest princess sighed softly.
Having followed the eldest princess for so many years, Aunt Gao immediately understood what the eldest master meant. She was afraid that she would be sad if she remembered old things, so she quickly changed the subject and provoked her: "Princess, this slave has almost rested. You are ready now." Can you leave?"
