dream of red mansion

Chapter 373

Jia Qing went outside to inquire about Miaoyu's situation, but he didn't know that at the back hall of the monastery in front of him, there were two women tasting tea and discussing Taoism.

Of these two girls, one is slightly younger, but she has an elegant and elegant meaning that does not match her age.Wearing an ordinary woman's skirt and a bun on her head, although she is in the depths of the temple, she is obviously not a monk.

The other is more unique.Look at it, it looks like a nun but not a nun, it looks like a Tao but not a Tao.

It is said that she is a nun, but she does not wear black clothes or Taoist clothes, and her black hair hangs down to her waist.It is said that it is the Tao, but it is the home of the monastery and the companion of the nun.

Although she was slightly older than the former, she looked only twenty-eight years old, her eyes were tranquil, and her skin was fair, delicate and lustrous.Carrying a small gilded purple sand teapot, it focuses on the tea ceremony, and its temperament is as beautiful as the orchid of Yishi.

"Thank you, sister Miaoyu."

Seeing the woman put the brewed tea in front of her, the girl in Ruqun thanked her softly, picked it up, took a sip, her eyes lit up, and then asked: "Could it be that this is what my sister said? Is it the tea washed out of the snow water on the bed?"

The woman said nothing, and said after a while: "It's a pity that I gave you so many teas for nothing. How can this be snow water? This is the dewdrop I picked from the top of the grass last year, and I got a small jar. Last time I even ate it for you once, but you completely forgot?

As for the snow on the plum blossoms, it is still buried underground.Unfortunately, this year's snow is not as good as last year's, and I don't want to make that bad.Therefore, it is not allowed to use snow water to make tea this year. "

The girl in Ruqun was not moved by the woman's attitude, and asked instead: "When is my sister going to open it? After I listened to my sister's words last time, I started thinking about the tea washed out by the accumulated snow. This year I also tried to take some, but I didn't think it was very good. Now that my sister said so, I think I can't do it, so I should give it up when I go back.

It's just, I don't know when my sister will come to taste it? "

The woman said: "Open when it is open."

The girl in Ruqun had no choice but to stop thinking for a while.

"Miss, Huiru just came in and said that someone wants to come in to offer incense." A maid came in and said.

"Are you right about my question?"

"correct."

"Who is it?"

"It's a lady."

"Well, let's hear it."

Hearing that it is a girl is right, and the woman's question is right.It turned out that when she met friends today, she had already made up her mind that if it was a man, she would not be allowed to come in.

"That's right, Miss's first couplet, 'Flowing Water without Strings'."

"Flowing water without strings" the woman murmured, and then Gu Jing Bubo's eyes were released, secretly thinking that it was someone who could express her heart.
Her couplet was originally not too difficult, and she didn't come out to embarrass anyone, but just to find a "destined person".Anyway, it's up to her to decide whether it's a predestined relationship or not.

The girl in Ruqun also said: "I've also read my sister's couplet. The artistic conception is very deep and wonderful. It's rare for her to be able to understand her mind from this point. I don't know what kind of person she is."

The woman agreed in her heart, without showing any signs of expression, she said, "How about I take you to meet her?"

"it is good."

"So, her house is completely dilapidated now?"

"It's not true, and I don't know what the reason is, his family suddenly fell into ruin, and then his parents also went west. It's so pitiful.
However, I heard that her parents left her a lot of property before they left, and all of them were sent to Panxiang Temple.

However, she said that money is nothing but foreign objects, so what is the use of keeping it?So she even negotiated with her master, not only to renovate the entire Panxiang Temple, but also to rebuild a temple behind it, which is the one we are standing at now."

Outside, under the humbly guidance of this passer-by, Jia Qing finally got to know Miaoyu's life experience more or less.

It is true that Miss Da is from a well-known family, and her father was once a high-ranking official in Nanzhili, but was later dismissed...

It stands to reason that if the family didn't simply rely on the imperial examinations and then last for one generation, even if they were defeated for a while, they should have a chance to make a comeback. Why did their family fail like a catastrophe?
But these are not important anymore. Now that we are here today, we have to find a chance to meet this little nun who is listed in the Twelve Beauties and is quite high in the ranking...

Speaking of which, apart from the niece Qiaojie who is not yet alive in the Twelve Hairpins, only this Miaoyu has never been seen (Yuan Chun also saw it, but the other party didn't know him).

"Please benefactors."

The nun who had just entered went back and forth, speaking to Jia Qing and the others.

"Farewell..." Jia Qing cupped his hands to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then brought Daiyu and the three daughters into the palace.

Sure enough, this hall is different from ordinary halls.

Spacious, bright and grand.

Compared with the main hall of Jia's ancestral hall, it is not much better.It's just that the family memorial tablet is enshrined in Jia's ancestral hall, and here, the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined!

Jia Qing personally lit a stick of incense and handed it to Daiyu.Daiyu took it, stepped forward and inserted it into the incense burner, then retreated, knelt down on the futon, and folded her hands together.The little people still look good when they worship the Buddha.

Jia Qing was not in the habit of worshiping Buddha, so when he saw Daiyu making a wish, he looked around.

Buddhist temples should pay attention to cleanliness and solemnity, but here, they always give people a sense of wealth and honor.Jia Qing could tell that most of the furnishings here were of great value.Moreover, he also suddenly discovered that the jade bottle held in the hand of the tall Guanyin Bodhisattva was actually the first-class Yugutianqingru porcelain.

Even in Ningguo Mansion, there are only two or three of these rare gadgets, each of which is very valuable!
But being placed here like this, aren't you afraid of being thieves?

Sure enough, this Miaoyu is really a rich woman. From this, it can be seen that his parents never intended to let her devote herself to the Buddha.Originally, it was not easy to stick to the pure practice, but her parents were good, not only let the servant girl take care of her, but also brought these foreign things to interfere with her practice from time to time.

Looking at the green lanterns all over the hall, and comparing it with the spring scenery of Zhulou in the Grand View Garden, it is no wonder that the six roots of the beautiful jade girls are hard to clean.
"It's a pity that the people in the Qingdeng Ancient Palace will grow old and fail, and the red pink Zhulou is full of spring!"

Thinking of the lonely and sad short life of a peerless beauty with "the temperament is as beautiful as orchid, and the talent is as strong as the fairy", Jia Qing couldn't help sighing softly.

Unexpectedly, his short sigh caused a shock in the heart of the woman who had just walked out of the side hall.
This woman is naturally Miaoyu.The girl in Ruqun behind her is the daughter of a commoner who lives in Panxiang Temple.

Miaoyu originally wanted to come out to meet Daiyu who played the "Flowing Water without Strings", but as soon as she came out, she was surprised to see a young gentleman (she has poor eyesight) in the hall.It's just that since they have all come out, wouldn't it be against the calm mind of the monks to avoid them?
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Jia Qing's sigh.

Isn't this a portrayal of her life?

Did he mean her?

Miaoyu was lost in thought.
