Gu Jiao carried the basket and went to the other side of the mountain.
The temple is halfway up the mountain, it is very difficult to walk, and there is still a section of the road in the middle that has no steps and is full of snow. Fortunately, Gu Jiao called here, diligently climbing and exercising, so she was not dissuaded by this dangerous mountain road.
She walked faster than ordinary people, but she still walked for an hour, and it was almost noon when she arrived at the temple.
This temple is not very big, the simple and vicissitudes of life is written on the plaque of Ning'an Temple. I don't know if it is because of the few people in the snow, Gu Jiao did not meet a single pilgrim along the way.
There were not many monks in the temple. Gu Jiao had been in for a while, but she had never seen a single one.
"No, this temple is already empty, right?"
But the ground is clean and tidy, as if someone takes care of it every day.
Just thinking about it, Gu Jiao came to the Guanyin Hall. She stood behind the pillars and glanced into the hall inadvertently, and finally saw the first big living person today.
It was a lady in silk and satin. Although she was luxuriously dressed, she was not ostentatious. A white cloak was draped over her body, as if reflecting the snow.
From Gu Jiao's point of view, she could only see the other person's back, but she could feel the gentle and elegant aura on her body.
She kowtowed a few times reverently, and put her hands together: "I ask the Bodhisattva to bless my son's safety and well-being..."
Even the voice is soft and pleasant.
Gu Jiao rarely pays attention to a stranger, especially if the other person is a woman, and she doesn't like women, right
But just when he lost his mind, a coquettish shout suddenly came from the side: "Where is the little thing? How dare you peek at my wife!"
Gu Jiao returned to her senses, followed the sound and looked in the direction from which the coquettish shout came, and saw a maid in pea-green suits walking on the opposite corridor. The object of the maid's reprimand was not herself, but a few unknown When is the little monk lying behind another pillar.
Seeing that the beauty was captured, the little monks cried out and ran away in panic.
So there are monks, but it's such a small little monk!
One of the little dumplings ran backwards, ran towards Gu Jiao, slammed into Gu Jiao's leg with a bang, and fell to the ground again.
Gu Jiao was attracted by this stunned little dumpling, and suddenly wanted to move him!
But before she could stretch out her hand, the little dumpling got up and ran away.
The lady who worshipped the Bodhisattva in the hall came out and said to the green girl Bijia: "Liu'er, don't be rude."
"Madam." The maid who was called Liu'er grumbled and stepped forward, "It's hard to teach a few little guys a lesson. After a while, they have to run to your meditation room to make trouble!"
"It's all children," said the lady.
The maid pouted, as if disapproving, but did not continue to contradict Mrs.
Just when Gu Jiao thought the two were about to leave, the lady suddenly looked towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao's figure was completely blocked by the pillar, and she didn't even notice the maid who was approaching, and I don't know how this lady noticed her.
"Who?" The maid instantly became vigilant.
Gu Jiao had to walk out.
She was wearing a shabby lavender floral short jacket, sauce-colored cotton trousers, a pair of black cloth shoes that had long been soaked in snow, and a shabby little backpack on her back, but she didn't know how to comb a woman's bun. , so I picked up my hair and pulled a ball on the top of my hair.
Dress up properly for a poor country girl, not to mention that she has a red birthmark on her face.
A look of contempt appeared on the maid's face.
There was no disgust in the lady's eyes.
The snow stopped, the roof tile eaves of the temple were covered with snow, the green mountains were covered in silver, and the sky and the earth were white and icy, but all this was not as good as her beauty.
It was also the first time that Gu Jiao had seen such a beautiful woman.
But the most beautiful thing is her temperament, gentle and elegant, quiet and dignified.
"Is the girl also here to visit Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Madam asked Gu Jiao with a smile.
Such a gentle voice, such a gentle smile...
Gu Jiao was stunned, Fang said, "No, I'm here to find the abbot."
The lady smiled warmly: "The abbot and the abbot have come down the mountain..."
Halfway through the conversation, another maid hurried over with a food box. There was unfinished ice on the road. The soles of her feet slipped, and with an ahh, she rushed forward.
She fell down without saying anything, and the food box in her hand flew out. Seeing that she was about to hit the lady, Gu Jiao stepped forward and blocked it with her arm.
The food box spread out in mid-air, and the soup and vegetable leaves inside spilled out and poured Gu Jiao all over!
The lady was shocked: "Girl! Are you alright!"
"It's okay." Gu Jiao said.
The weather is too cold, the dishes are no longer hot, but the soup sticks to the body and makes it uncomfortable.
Madam looked at her in a state of embarrassment and felt guilty. She looked at the maid who fell to the ground and sighed, "Can't you walk properly?"
The maid also fell hard, her knees were swollen, she resisted the pain and got up, said aggrieved: "The road is too slippery..."
Madam also understood that she didn't do it on purpose, but just hurt other girls, she deliberately didn't go, and said to Gu Jiao, "It's because I have no way to discipline and stain the girl's clothes, and I asked the girl to come to the meditation room with me to change it. Clean clothes."
Gu Jiao thought for a while, but did not refuse.
This lady seems to be a frequent visitor to this temple. There is actually a separate meditation room in the temple. The meditation room is at the end of the corridor. It looks like other meditation rooms, but the furnishings inside are very elegant and quiet, which complements her temperament. .
The two maids also entered the house together.
Madam asked the maid named Liu Er in green to open the cage.
Liu Er was immediately unhappy: "Madam, this place is full of young lady's clothes!"
A wild girl in the countryside, how can she wear the clothes of their young lady
The lady's gentle color was restrained by three points: "You go out and bring in a new meal, remember to get one for this girl."
The maid felt the pressure of the master, and bowed her head: "...Yes."
Madam personally picked out a set of clothes from the cage for Gu Jiao: "I don't know if my daughter's clothes fit you, but it's better than a wet shirt, girl, put it on quickly."
Gu Jiao went to the screen and changed her clothes and came out.
I thought it would be a bit big, but it unexpectedly fits.
"It's really suitable for you." Madam said with a smile, obviously it was her daughter's clothes, but the little girl wore it more brightly, "How old are you this year?"
Gu Jiao replied, "Fourteen."
Madam's eyes lit up: "As old as my daughter, my daughter was born in this temple."
Gu Jiao: Coincidentally, me too.
