"I'm not an expert in zither music, I just like it very much. When I was at home, I also liked to collect zither music. My family was not so tight with money, so they would follow my wishes. But later..."
When Master Ning Yin said this, he lowered his head, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes, and he put his hands together and bowed: "I have been too vain again."
This is recalling the past. It can be seen that Master Ning Yin had a good family background at that time, but he probably had no power, otherwise he would not have fallen to this point.
So it must be a merchant's home.
The young ladies of such families were also raised like the young ladies of the aristocratic families, with retired maids from the palace specially hired to raise them, just to allow the daughters of such families to climb up to the powerful and wealthy.
If you think about it this way, you can guess some things.
"Master, I said too much and reminded you of some bad things in the past." Qu Moying apologized.
"It's all in the past, what's the point of talking about it..." Master Ning Yin sighed and looked towards the slightly opened door. "My family name is Ning, and I like music, so the temple master gave me the Taoist name Ning Yin. Fortunately, there is also a library in this temple. It's all things I couldn't see before, so I can calm down and practice."
After Master Ning Yin finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her face, and the whole person looked gentle and graceful.
"Is there a library in Qingyun Temple?" Qu Moying was moved. For a book lover, what could be more interesting than hearing about a library
“Yes, it was prepared by the previous abbot. I heard that it was moved here directly at that time.” Master Ning Yin paused when he said this.
Qu Moying already understood what this meant. This so-called move meant that they had moved from the Princess's Mansion at that time. Princess Hengyang was favored by the Empress Dowager, so it was normal for her to have a library in her mansion. The books in it were probably treasures, and many of them were even unique copies.
Thinking of this, everyone’s heart will be warmed.
Qu Moying straightened her slender body, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and with a passion that she herself might not even know about, she asked, "Is the Qingyun Temple's library open to outsiders?"
"This... I'm afraid it won't work!" Master Ning Yin said in embarrassment.
"Just... can't you be flexible?" Qu Moying bit her lip, her eyes fell on Master Ning Yin's face, full of desire.
"Maybe it's really not possible..." Master Ning Yin refused again, but after seeing Qu Moying's eyes, he felt it was inconvenient to refuse too much. "But, I will find time to ask the master of the temple later?"
"Thank you, Master!" Qu Moying stood up and bowed deeply to Master Ning Yin.
Master Ning Yin hurriedly dodged and said, "Miss Qu Si, you are too polite. Actually... this may not work."
"It's okay. You just need to tell the master of the temple about my request. As for whether it will be successful or not, it depends on what the master thinks!" Qu Moying said with a smile. The desire in his eyes turned into a faint smile, no longer as obvious as before, as if the desire in his eyes just now was a misunderstanding by others.
"Miss Qu Si, please take your time and eat your food. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." Master Ning Yin stood up.
"Please do as you please, sir." Qu Moying did not stay any longer this time. He put his hand on another music score on the table. It was obvious that that music score was more attractive.
Master Ning Yin glanced at the music score, bowed to Qu Moying, and then left.
Hearing the footsteps leaving on the stairs, a hint of sadness flashed across Qu Moying's eyes. Is she Master Ning Yin
This name, she
I had heard of this person when I was a kid, but that was all I had heard of him. I had never seen such a person. I only heard that this Master Ning Yin was born into a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan and had a good family background. So-called money was very simple to her at that time.
But later her family encountered trouble and she fell into trouble. Afterwards, she entered Qingyun Temple and became the disciple of the temple master.
It is said that she is beautiful in appearance and polite in outward appearance, and even many young ladies from aristocratic families cannot compare to her.
Moreover, she is the most likely to inherit the mantle of the master of Qingyun Temple. She is also very talented in spiritual practice and has her own set of theories on divination, which are also very effective.
It's just that this Ning Yin Zhenren is just like the Qingyun Temple Master, who is as mysterious as a dragon that can't be found. It is said that he has been practicing hard all his life.
The abbot of Qingyun Temple has connections with the palace. When nobles from the palace come to invite him, Taoist Qingyun will go out once or twice depending on the situation. But no one has ever heard of anyone inviting True Person Ningyin.
I didn't expect to see her here, and I didn't expect that this Master Ning Yin would be so beautiful. She is indeed more beautiful than most of the young ladies from noble families in the capital.
"Miss, this Master Ning Yin is truly a god-like figure." Yu Chun sighed again. She had previously thought that the Master of Qingyun Temple was very powerful, and now she thought that her disciple was also very powerful.
"Miss, why did this Master Ning Yin come here suddenly? He is carrying so many things, as if they had prepared them for you long ago." Yu Dong said, looking at the things on the table. Snacks and the like were not something they could make after they arrived.
"It shouldn't have been given to me originally. I'm afraid he gave me the master's copy directly." Qu Moying smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to push away the music score in front of him. He didn't pick up the music score eagerly to look at it, as if he was fascinated!
“Miss, I think the Qingyun Temple Master is nothing special!” Yu Dong curled his lips. He was not a woman, so he looked at things more directly. “When Miss came to Qingyun Temple before, the Master was never so polite to Miss. Even when it came to Concubine Ji, he only met Concubine Ji and not Miss.”
"Yudong, at that time it was Concubine Ji who asked to see the abbot of Qingyun Temple, and our young lady did not ask for an audience. Besides, it was Concubine Ji who invited our young lady over at that time." Yuchun felt that Yudong had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.
"Miss Ji, please come in. Does this temple master know nothing about this? This is Qingyun Temple. How can the temple master be ignorant?" Yu Dong said disdainfully, "Besides, I saw the young lady that day. Why didn't I invite her in? Instead, I stayed in there with Concubine Ji. What's the meaning?"
Yudong really didn't believe in this kind of thing about gods and ghosts, so he said it more directly.
“This… maybe… maybe it’s inconvenient…” Yuchun stuttered.
"What's inconvenient? It was inconvenient back then, but it's convenient now? It's just because the young lady is going to marry me now." Yu Dong said disapprovingly, "Sure enough, there is a reason why the Qingyun Temple Master only goes in and out of the royal family. She doesn't make friends with people who are not from the royal family. Only people from the royal family will be treated by her."
After saying this, Yudong glanced at the cakes and tea on the table.
Both the pastries and the tea were good, but Qu Moying had never enjoyed these before.
Her watery eyes narrowed slightly, her long eyelashes cast uneven shadows on her eyelids, her pale cherry lips curved slightly, and Qu Moying listened quietly to the two maids talking, as if thinking about something.
"Miss, look at Yu Dong, how can she speak like that? She is the master of Qingyun Temple, she is very powerful!" Yu Chun couldn't argue with Yu Dong, so she turned around and looked for
Qu Moying stepped forward.
"This is indeed interesting." Qu Moying said softly, with a hint of sadness sliding across his watery eyes.
"Miss, what do you find interesting about it?" Yu Dong's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"I like musical scores, and I usually type some scores and compose some music myself, but not many people know about it. But now they know it. The books they brought are exactly what I want. They even told me that there is a library in Qingyun Temple." Qu Moying said slowly.
"Miss, do you also think that they... did it on purpose?" Yuchun's face changed drastically.
"We must always be on guard against others. I don't know now if it's a coincidence or if it was really intentional." Qu Moying smiled and shook his head.
If it is a coincidence, it is really a coincidence. If it is intentional, why is it so
"Miss, don't worry. Even though I think the abbot of Qingyun Temple would never harm you, I will still be extra careful." Yu Chun defended with a blushing face.
Qu Moying nodded, there was no need to doubt Yuchun's loyalty.
"Yuchun believes in the master of Qingyun Temple, and they may also have a good impression of you. In most cases, good impressions are mutual." Qu Moying smiled slightly and said meaningfully.
"Miss, are you saying that they will come to see Yuchun?" Yudong asked quickly.
Yuchun opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only open her eyes anxiously and look at her young lady.
"Was Yuchun looking at Master Ning Yin with great joy just now?" Qu Moying asked.
"Miss, I was just looking at Master Ning Yin, and I felt happy. I really wanted to say something to her, but it was just a thought. I didn't dare to really say anything." Yu Chun waved her hands anxiously and replied with a bitter face, "Miss, I didn't look at Master Ning Yin with joy."
"Miss, Yuchun was very excited just now. I saw that she looked very happy." Yudong thought for a while and said.
Yuchun felt so wronged that she glared at Yudong angrily and said, "Miss, I didn't do that!"
She didn't feel happy at all. Although she was happy in her heart, she didn't really show it.
"Yuchun, let's wait and see!" Qu Moying shook his hand and said gently, whether it was a coincidence or a problem, there would always be something to do next...
The piano score is very good, and it is indeed like the Hanjiang score that Qu Moying imagined. It seems to be the authentic version. This is the conclusion Qu Moying came to after reading it several times.
In her previous life, she had also looked for this Hanjiang Pu, but had never found it. However, she heard from Pei Luoan that it seemed to be in the palace, but later Pei Luoan made a special trip there and came back to say that it was no longer available.
It seemed that he had already landed in Qingyun Temple at that time.
The collection of books in Qingyun Temple is so rich, Qu Moying really wants to go and take a look.
After reading for a while on the couch, Qu Moying fell asleep unconsciously. When he woke up, he saw that it was getting late, so he asked two maids to wash up and left the bamboo house.
The door of the bamboo building was still closed, but the tea and snacks inside were left there. Yudong said someone would clean them up soon.
The wind seemed to be a little stronger than when they first arrived. Coming out of the warm house, even wrapped in a thick cloak, one still shivered.
Although she was protected by two maids, Qu Moying's lips turned white from the cold during the walk. Her physical condition was already not as good as that of ordinary people, and this made her look even weaker.
After resting for a while in the incense room where they had rested before, Qu Moying finally recovered. Yuchun took the small hand warmer to find hot water and replaced it. They could go back after she came back.
But the wait was much longer than expected...
