Glory all the way

Chapter 52
In a few days, it will be the Double Ninth Festival.

Emperor Jiayuan was a filial emperor. Every year when this day came, he would stop for one day to accompany the Empress Dowager on a tour of the palace. Therefore, on the eighth day of the lunar new year, Bai Yingluo and the others were notified that classes would be suspended for one day on the ninth day of the ninth day.

However, after the Double Ninth Festival, the former ease and comfort will no longer be possible. Bai Yingluo and the others will accompany the Sixth Princess to start the talent class of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before leaving the palace and returning to the Marquis Mansion, and it will be time for dinner .

Compared to the frustration of the others, Bai Yingluo was much calmer. After all, it is good to learn more. What's more, the sixth princess is more friendly to her, and the life in the palace is not so difficult.

When I returned to Qing'an Hall at noon, I saw that the old master Bai and the old lady Bai also had joyful expressions on their faces. At the side, Mrs. Xue asked softly for instructions. Yes, Mrs. Xue nodded in response, then turned and exited the main room.

"Sister Luo, your grandfather and I are going to live in a village in the outer suburbs for a day, do you want to go with us?"

After beckoning to Bai Yingluo to sit beside her, the old lady Bai asked kindly.

"Grandfather and grandmother are going to climb?"

Bai Yingluo asked with a smile.

Shaking her head, the old lady Bai looked up at the old man who was standing behind the desk writing big characters, Fang said softly: "Your grandfather is still strong, and grandmother is determined not to be able to climb the mountain. So, your grandfather said to take me to the village. Relax."

"Then Luo'er, stay with grandma. If grandma is tired, Luo'er can still rub your shoulders and beat your back."

Bai Yingluo said with a smile.

"However, it will be too late to come back tomorrow. In the morning of the next day, you have to go to the palace to study with me. Will it be too hard?"

Thinking about how Bai Yingyun made excuses to refuse to go with her just now, and then turned her head to see the docile and well-behaved Bai Yingluo, the old lady Bai's words became softer, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her eyes.

"It's okay, grandma, the big deal is that I'll go to bed earlier in the evening. It's okay, Luo'er is very happy to be by my grandparents' side."

Wrapping Old Madam Bai's arms and talking softly, Bai Yingluo asked casually, "Grandmother, is the Zhuangzi we went to far from the capital?"

"It's not far away, it's only a few dozen miles away from the capital, and it takes more than two hours to get there by carriage."

Speaking softly, the old lady Bai seemed to recall the scenery around Zhuangzi, and said with nostalgia on her face: "Speaking of which, it would be better to go there in spring. In the nearby Zhuangzi, peach and pear trees are planted all over the mountains and plains. During the month, peaches and plums are fragrant, and the scenery is beautiful and beautiful."

Hearing old lady Bai mention peach blossoms, a glowing peach forest also appeared in front of Bai Yingluo, but unfortunately, since then, she has never seen such a gorgeous peach blossom.

"Grandma is taking good care of her body. Luo'er won't have to go to the palace to study with her until March or April next year. At that time, I will accompany grandma to live in Zhuangzi for a few days, so we can enjoy the peach blossoms there. Grandma Okay?"

Bai Yingluo coaxed softly.

"well……"

Patting Bai Yingluo's hand in relief, the old lady Bai smiled all over her face, and even the corners of her eyes had a few wrinkles, but her smile became more and more charming.

After resting for a while in the afternoon, Wang Hui's family came over and said that old master Bai and old lady Bai had decided to leave after Shen Shi, and Xue Shi had already made arrangements, and asked Bai Yingluo if there was anything else that Xue Shi needed to arrange.

Bai Yingluo turned around and asked Chen Xiang, and when she learned that everything was ready, she politely thanked Wang Hui's family.

Just after the application time, Bai Yingluo took Liusu and Liuying to Qing'an Hall, and the old master Bai and the old lady Bai were also ready. At the side, Mrs. Xue carefully instructed the accompanying housekeeper and mother-in-law to take good care of the two. elder.

The carriage drove out of the alleyway in front of Jing'an Hou's Mansion, and Bai Yingluo's heart also fluttered a little bit.

This is one of the few opportunities for Bai Yingluo to go out of the palace. The last time was to go shopping with the sixth princess on Qixi Festival. This time, although it was only a day to go out of the capital, Bai Yingluo was already very satisfied. up.

In the carriage, Bai Yingluo snuggled up beside the old lady Bai, listening to the old lady telling interesting things she had heard and seen when she went to Zhuangzi. They also complemented each other, and after a while, the old man Bai also became interested, and the three of them started chatting and laughing.

The carriage galloped out of the capital, and arrived at the destination when it was getting dark. At the intersection of Zhuangzi, there were already a few respectable stewards waiting in Zhuangzi.

Bai Yingluo put on the drapery hat, helped old master Bai and old lady Bai out of the car, and the three of them changed into soft sedan chairs, and went all the way to the village.

After getting out of the sedan chair, the old man Bai simply asked about the harvest of the autumn harvest, then waved his hands to signal the stewards to go to their own work, and don't need to wait around, thinking that the old man loves quietness, the stewards have not passed. He refused more, kowtowed to meet the ceremony and left in file.

Bai Yingluo helped the old lady Bai to the side, and took the opportunity to look at the surrounding environment.

In the misty sky, everything was unreal, but smelling the faint rural atmosphere, it was a bit more peaceful and less impetuous than in the capital, and Bai Yingluo's heart became inexplicably kind, as if It's like I've been to this place in a dream.

Live in a small round house at night, the layout of the second entrance, maybe someone has lived there before, the outside looks as rustic as the surroundings, but the layout of the house is very delicate.

The old master Bai and the old lady Bai lived in the main room in the second entrance, and Bai Yingluo lived in the east wing nearby.

Waking up early the next day, standing in the yard looking at the blue sky, Bai Yingluo took a few deep breaths, and felt that her heart opened up a bit.

After breakfast, a group of people went out and headed for the nearby hill in a soft sedan chair.

When she reached the foot of the mountain and opened the sedan chair curtain, Bai Yingluo's heart skipped a beat.

The winding steps in front of me, and the lush peach grove beside it, are very similar to the place next to Zhuangzi where the Bai family lived in the previous life.

Bai Yingluo still remembered that when she was very young, she played hide-and-seek with her friends in the peach grove, and when she got married, Du Xuan took her for a walk in the peach grove many times.

The peach blossoms on the human face complement each other red, and the blush on the cheeks of Luo Niang of the Bai family walking beside Xuan Lang is probably a bit more charming than the peach blossoms that just bloomed?

"Sister Luo, sister Luo..."

Bai Yingluo turned her head and said with a smile, "Grandmother, this peach grove is really big. After three or four months, it will be as beautiful as grandma described it." .”

The old lady Bai nodded, and took Bai Yingluo's hand. The two of them walked up the stone steps while talking.

This is a small hill, even if the old lady Bai is old and frail, it only takes a stick of incense to get to the top of the hill, and on the top of the hill, there is a small temple next to the hill.

Looking at the plaque on the gate of the temple, Bai Yingluo froze in place again.

In the previous life, on the hill outside Zhuangzi, the temple had no name and no incense. Later, at some point, a wandering monk came and settled in the temple, so he found a wooden board and made a plaque on the door. There are three big characters "Xiaoshan Temple".

Now, the same small mountain temple appeared in front of her. Bai Yingluo felt her breathing became short of breath in an instant, and there seemed to be countless questions flying and circling in her mind.

Ahead, the butler who came with Old Master Bai was already talking to the abbot who came out to greet him, while Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai walked slowly in front of the mountain gate, and glanced at Bai Yingluo who was following cautiously beside him, Old Man Bai The wife patted her hand softly and said: "This place is full of honest and friendly country people, nothing will happen, you can go around by yourself, don't miss the maids and mother-in-law to follow."

If it was normal, Bai Yingluo would definitely shake her head and obediently follow her grandmother to serve her.

But today, after seeing so many unusual things, Bai Yingluo only felt that if she went on like this, her grandparents would definitely find out that she was strange, so she simply followed suit and started walking around with Tassels and Liu Yingluo.

After walking back and forth a few times, and then standing on the side of the mountain, looking at the distant village with smoke from the kitchen, listening to the faint sound of dogs barking and chickens crowing, Bai Yingluo's eyes couldn't help getting moist.

That's right, this is exactly the Zhuangzi where the Luoniang family of the Bai family lived in the previous life.

She opened her eyes wide and tried to identify the location of the Bai family, but Bai Yingluo felt that under the rising sun, her eyes seemed to be a little stinging.

But the rooms in front of her were densely packed, but the size and layout were the same, making it almost difficult for her to distinguish them.

"Miss, the old master and the old lady have gone to the temple to offer incense, and you should go with them and make a wish in front of the Bodhisattva."

Behind him, Liusu only thought that it was Bai Yingluo's first trip out of the capital, and everything he saw was novel. Seeing the old lady Bai turned her head to look at Bai Yingluo, Liusu said aloud.

Nodding her head, Bai Yingluo withdrew her nostalgic gaze, and followed into the Xiaoshan Temple a few steps behind.

Same as what I saw before, Xiaoshan Temple is still so simple and simple, but in the past few years, people around me often come to offer incense, and the incense is gradually flourishing, and Xiaoshan Temple is not as dilapidated as it was at the beginning.

The yard was clean and tidy, and the scent of sandalwood in the main hall wafted faintly, making it a bit more solemn.

I thought Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai were wealthy old men from a big family, and the only abbot and four monks in the temple were respectful.

Bai Yingluo followed Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai devoutly and kowtowed to the Buddha's mud tires in the main hall, and secretly made a few wishes before getting up under the old lady Bai's gratified eyes.

"After a short rest, let's go down the mountain. Although it's just a small hill, it's still a mountain after all, and it's suitable for today's climb, ha ha..."

Pointing to the stone bench by the courtyard wall, he signaled the old lady Bai to sit down. The old lady stroked his beard and said with a smile, and the old lady nodded in agreement.

"Kids, don't be like us tired old people. Since you are out today, you can go and play by yourself. Come back to us in a while. Let's go down the mountain and look around. Let's go."

Bai Yingluo's usual cuteness made the old lady feel a little distressed. Seeing that the children brought by the people who came up the mountain to worship Buddha were playing and playing, showing infinite liveliness, the old lady waved at Bai Yingluo affectionately.

Something was on her mind, and she was afraid of showing her weakness in front of her grandparents, so Bai Yingluo bowed and retreated. Just as she reached the gate of the temple, she heard a familiar voice.

　Let's guess, whose voice is that heard?Please recommend tickets~~~
