Earlier than Shen Miao expected, on the second day, Mo Qing came to the door of the Shen residence to be the guard. Shen Miao asked Shuangjiang to put money into the doorman before, but she just said that it was Shuangjiang's distant cousin. Because of the different ranks of the guards, what Mo Qing had to do was the outermost guard, so he stayed without worrying about it.
The time soon came to three days later.
Three days later, early in the morning, Ren Wan Yun took care of everything and asked the girl beside Xiang Lan to instruct Shen Miao on some matters. Before setting off, everyone went to Rongjing Hall.
Mrs. Shen said something with a serious expression, probably to make everyone follow the rules and not go to Wolong Temple for incense on weekdays, just because Wolong Temple seems to be a bit remote, although it is famous, but the incense is not as close to the city. of exuberance. But I don't know why, this time I want to give up the near and seek far.
Shen Qing seemed extremely cheerful, and said with a stern look, he would definitely pay homage to the Buddha, along with Old Madam Shen and Shen Yuanbai. When Old Madam Shen heard the words, it was very useful, and her attitude towards Shen Qing was much softer.
This time, I also brought some personal guards to protect the safety of the Shen residence girl along the way. Shen Miao stood in front of the carriage but did not move, Ren Wan Yun frowned and asked, "Why doesn't Fifth Sister leave?"
“I just feel that this guard is a little weak, to prevent accidents, Second Aunt may wish to send more guards to follow.” Shen Miao said.
Ren Wan Yun frowned, she did not expect Shen Miao to raise this question at this time. But today everything has been arranged properly, Ren Wanyun said with a smile: "Fifth sister, we have quite a lot of people. We can't take all the guards of the Shen residence away. Too many people will make it even more inconvenient. So be it."
Shen Miao however determinedly shook her head and did not move.
When Shen Yue and Shen Qing saw this, Shen Yue didn't say anything. Shen Qing was displeased and said, "Our Shen residence is not a royal family. How much pomp does Fifth Younger Sister want? The uncle has never been so picky when he goes out."
She then took out Shen Xin again and said, Shen Miao glanced at her as soon as she finished speaking. That fluttering look made Shen Qing suddenly feel cold all over his body.
“Let’s add two more.” Shen Miao pointed away and pointed at the two guards at the door: “Just them.”
Seeing that Shen Miao did not bring more, but only added two people, Ren Wan Yun breathed a sigh of relief, she did not want to waste too much time on this matter. The two of them couldn't affect the overall situation, and with a look of embarrassment on their face, Ren Wan Yun said, "Fifth sister, you are really... that's all, what you said, when Second Aunt doesn't follow you, let's do it." She ordered her side. Pandan: "Go and call those two servants over and come with us out of the city."
“Thank you Second Aunt.” A smile appeared on Shen Miao’s lips.
Seeing that Ren Wan Yun still followed Shen Miao's idea in the end, Shen Yue just looked at Shen Miao strangely, but Shen Qing stomped her feet fiercely, glared at Shen Miao, then turned and walked away.
After getting on the carriage, Shen Qing kept deliberately not talking to Shen Miao, although Shen Yue was talking to Shen Miao, there was a three-point temptation in her words, Shen Miao was too lazy to deal with her and what she said was perfunctory. On the other hand, Ren Wan Yun was in high spirits along the way and said some childhood words with Shen Miao and looked very close. If it was usual, Shen Miao would also be full of admiration for her second aunt who looked kind and kind, but now when she looks at this woman, her every move is full of sloppy and ugly expressions, in front of her who is used to seeing all kinds of human feelings in the harem , is really not enough to see.
Starting from the morning, until the evening, finally arrived at the destination, Yangjing Peak.
Wolong Temple is located halfway up the mountainside of Yangjing Peak. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep. If you walk here in spring, you will be full of birds and flowers, lush foliage and pleasant scenery. But now that it's early autumn, and the vegetation is withering, it adds a bit of desolation.
Because Yangjing Peak is too far from the Ding capital, the road to Wolong Temple is not easy to walk, so people who come to offer incense on weekdays, except those very devout wives, generally do not come here. Shen Miao got off the carriage and when they arrived at the entrance of Wolong Temple, they saw that outside the huge temple, there was only a young novice sweeping the floor outside, looking very deserted.
"It's clean here." Shen Yue chuckled softly.
Shen Qing shrugged his nose and seemed to want to complain a few words, but he suddenly thought of something, and he held it back.
Ren Wan Yun said: "Don't look at this place clean, but hear that the Buddha here is very effective. When you are offering incense, you must be sincere."
Seeing the person coming, the little novice stood up to greet him. Except for the servants who were carrying things under the carriage, Ren Wanyun and the others followed the little novice who led the way to the temple first.
The more I walked into the temple, the more I felt that this Wolong Temple was really sparsely populated. Not to mention pilgrims, there are not too many monks. However, the temple is spacious, so it feels empty. If you live at night, I'm afraid it will be a little scary.
After seeing the abbot, the abbot divided the yard for several people, originally the girl’s house was one room and it was very close, when they arrived at Shen Miao’s place, a slightly younger middle-aged monk beside the abbot said, “I’m really sorry. There is no girl's room in the pavilion on the south side, if the girl doesn't mind, how about going to the pavilion on the north side?"
Everyone looked at her and Shen Miao smiled, “I’m sorry, I don’t mind very much.”
"Fifth sister," Ren Wanyun reprimanded in a low voice, "This is the pure land of Buddhism, where will you be allowed to be willful."
“It’s just a little strange,” Shen Miao was unmoved, “The incense doesn’t seem to be very strong, how come there are still pavilions full of people?”
The middle-aged monk also frowned, probably because he had never seen such an arrogant young lady, and started to comment on the temple without any explanation. But Shen Miao was not like those unruly young ladies who made a fuss and made a fuss. With such a reasonable attitude, no one could answer.
“The little donor does not know that although there are not many pilgrims, there are many monks in the temple.” The old host smiled and explained to Shen Miao.
"But I'm a little scared living alone, what should I do?" she asked.
"This..." Ren Wanyun was still reassuring: "Fifth sister, you can spend one night. If you spend the night, the Buddha will see your sincerity, and you will have your incense tomorrow, and it will definitely come true."
If it was before, when Shen Miao heard these words, she was also coaxed away. After all, she is a person who eats soft and not hard, not to mention that there is Fu Xiu Yi in her heart, I am afraid that she will suffer this small loss for the sake of the Buddha's wish to bring her and Fu Xiu Yi together.
But now, something is different.
Ren Wan Yun also had some headaches, for some unknown reason, now Shen Miao is getting more and more irritated, she used to believe whatever Shen Miao said, it was very coaxing. But there were frequent mistakes today, if Shen Miao was not resolved sooner, the Shen residence would only be more troublesome in the future.
“It’s better than this,” Shen Miao said with a full smile, “Auntie can go to the North Pavilion with me to live with me. With someone to accompany me, I will feel more at ease.”
