my wishful wolf

Chapter 121
First of all, Jing An went out to the yamen, thought about it, and said: "Is there any movement in Dali Temple recently?" Zhou Da said: "There is nothing unusual, but the person sent by the eldest son to Ziyun seems to have news. Alright." Jing An nodded and said: "That should be fine." Zhou Da said: "By the way, Lord Hou, there is another matter." Jing An said: "What?" Zhou Da said: "This morning, Eldest Young Master Ask someone to bring someone into the mansion." Jing An was stunned, and asked, "Who is it?" Zhou Da said, "It's a member of Lou Hanlin's family who was implicated in King Su's rebellion earlier."

Jing An was slightly moved, thought for a while and sighed: "It's been so many years, elder brother still can't let go of it." With a slight sigh, he felt a little relieved about the matter in his heart, then nodded and said: "It's strange that he is abnormal today. It's because of the past...just..." There was still a little doubt in my heart, so I couldn't say anything.

Zhou Da said: "Those people who were in the east courtyard before, do you want to stay?" Jing'an said: "Since the person who gave the medicine is dead, the others are fine, there will still be two spies around Inside."

Zhou Da said: "I was careless before, but I didn't notice it because it was Madam who called me." Jing'an said: "This man's heart can be punished. If you find out the real evidence, he will definitely die." Zhou Da said: " Hou Ye thinks it's that person?" Jing An said: "He always sees me as a bad person, but he dares to act so recklessly and has such ability, who else is there besides him?"

The two walked forward for a while, Zhou Da said: "But I heard that he is out now..." Jing An said: "His father is not a vegetarian, but it is a pity that the traitor died, now it is just that the death is not true, hmph It’s cheaper for them.” Then he walked to the side of the sedan chair, because Jing An hurt his back, so he couldn’t ride a horse, Zhou Da lowered the curtain of the sedan chair for Jing An, turned around and went to ride the horse, all the people also got on their horses, and returned Yamen to go also.

At night, when Jing An came back from the yamen, he went to look for Yue'e, but saw that the door of the house was closed and the maids were all outside. Jing An asked: "What are you doing?" Hearing this, Jing An couldn't help being distracted for a while, at first he was reserved, but he said after a while: "Who's in there?" The servant girl said, "Sister Xiaokui is here." Just as he was speaking, the door squeaked, but it was Xiaokui Come out, see Jing An again, and salute hurriedly.

Seeing Xiaokui coming out, Jing An said: "Are you ready?" Xiao Kui said: "It's almost ready, the lady heard the noise outside and asked me to come out and take a look." Jing An said: "She knows it's me Are you here?" Xiaokui said: "My lady said, if Master Hou is here, please ask him to go back first, because tomorrow I will go out with my wife to burn incense and worship Buddha at Xiangye Temple, so I have to take a bath."

Jing An thought for a while and said: "I'll come and see her, I'll be there in a while." Saying this, he sat down outside.Xiaokui was helpless, just about to turn around and go in, Jing An stopped her and asked: "Xiaokui, the eldest son is here in the morning, what's the matter, do you know?"

Xiaokui lowered her eyes and said: "Go back to Lord Hou, after the eldest son came, the lady asked me to go out to pour tea, so I don't know what happened." Jing An looked at him for a while, then nodded.The maidservant next to him brought tea and Jing An took it and drank it slowly.

When Xiaokui entered, Yue'e had already washed and was wiping her body, Xiaokui hurriedly took out the clean clothes, put them on for her, and said, "My lady, don't catch a cold." Yue'e nodded and said, "Is he still there? "Xiaokui said: "Yes, Master Hou refused to leave, and...it's exactly as the lady said, Master Hou just asked me why the eldest son is here today."

Yue'e covered her clothes and asked her, "Did you say it?" Xiaokui said, "Don't worry, lady, I told you to say what my lady taught me."

Yue'e just nodded, and Xiaokui wiped her hair again. After a long while, it gradually subsided, feeling a little tired, thinking about Jing'an before going out, and only said to Xiaokui: "Go and see if Master Hou is still there." , if he is here, invite him in." Xiao Kui went.

Yue'e closed her eyes slightly, she was leaning on the bedside thinking about something, she opened her eyes only after hearing the movement, saw Jing An stepping in, reached the bedside, sat next to her, stretched out her hand to hug Yue'e, only felt her waist Limbs were as soft as willow cotton, so she leaned over and said, "Why do you look so bad? But what's wrong?"

Yue'e said: "Maybe it's been soaking for a long time, and I'm dizzy, what are you doing here?" Jing'an said: "I'm here to see you." Yue'e said: "I'm going to worship Buddha tomorrow, so don't disturb me " Jing'an said: "What is there to worship in that Buddha? Could it be true?" Yue'e said: "Don't talk nonsense here, you don't believe it, but you can't be disrespectful."

Jing An had no choice but to agree, but his heart was beating again, seeing that she had just bathed, her face was pale and blushed, she looked like beautiful jade, crystal and radiant, her hair was loose on her shoulders, she was unable to lean against his chest, her lazy appearance was even worse It's pitiful, the fragrance on the body is vaguely absent, and it evokes the mind.

Jing An stretched out his hand to shake Yue'e's shoulder, then touched her face, and said: "Recently, it seems to be much thinner than before."

Yue'e said: "Where would it be? I used to be busy here and there, but now I don't do anything. How could I lose weight?" Jing An looked at her face, measured it carefully, and said: "As expected, she has lost weight, and her chin is getting sharper. I remember when I saw you for the first time, I still felt..." Then she stopped.It turned out that what Jing'an remembered was when he first saw Yue'e playing the role of Guanyin... However, those things in Ziyun County were not a good experience for each other.

So Jing An hastily stopped, fearing to touch Yue'e's mind.Just look at her.

Yue'e stopped when she heard him talking, why didn't she know what he meant?Just pretending to be ignorant, said: "Leave me alone...how is your injury?" Jing An relaxed slightly, and said: "It's much better." Be careful." Jing An agreed.

Jing An hugged Yue'e, Yue'e leaned against him, the two cuddled each other, and did not move for a long time, Jing An almost thought she was asleep, but heard Yue'e say: "Hou Ye..." Jing An hastily agreed "Yeah." Yue'e said, "What do you like about me?" Jing An was rather surprised, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know, I just like you." Yue'e said, "If it wasn't for this face , will you like me?"

Jing An thought for a long time, Yue E said: "If you are lying, I will notice." Jing An looked down at her, and finally said: "I... I don't know." Leaning her face in his arms, she said, "Well... that's a good answer."

Jing'an stayed in the east courtyard that night, but he didn't disturb Yue'e, the two slept together overnight, each with their own concerns.In the morning, Xiaokui came in early to call, Jing An and Yue'e woke up together, Xiaokui took care of Yue'e to wash and dress up, didn't even eat breakfast, went to Madam's side to wait.

After a while, Mrs. Xie recovered, and she was helped out by Sister Ying. Mrs. Xie shook Yue'e's hand, and the two of them went out of the gate, got into sedan chairs, and headed towards Xiangye Temple.

It took about an hour to finally reach the place.It turns out that Xiangye Temple is a famous temple in the capital city. A Zhike monk got the news and went out to meet Mrs. Xie and Yue'e. The two sedan chairs fell, and the Zhike monk led the novice to welcome them. Yue'e looked up and saw the mountain gate. It is quite high, about hundreds of levels, and it is necessary to go up slowly step by step. Fortunately, the snow here has been swept clean.

Mrs. Xie also said: "Be careful of slipping your feet." Yue'e agreed, and at that moment, Sister Ying and a little maid supported Mrs. Xie, and Xiaokui and the other supported Yue'e. Steps into the mountain gate.

Entering the temple, you can see the Daxiong Palace head-on, the incense is blowing towards your face, and the smoke is lingering, it is the image of the three big Buddhas, Yue'e worshiped Mrs. Xie, and the monk next to him handed the incense to Xiaokui and sister Ying After that, the two passed on to Yue'e and Mrs. Xie. They kowtowed, made a wish, and burned incense. Xiaokui and sister Ying got up respectively.

Mrs. Xie then said: "In the Sutra Pavilion in this temple is the famous Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes. She is very effective. It is only open to the public to see and worship on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The abbot has some friendship, so he allowed us to see it."

Immediately, he took Yue'e's hand and looked at the eighteen arhat statues from the Daxiong Palace, one by one, then turned to the back hall, passed the Great Compassion Hall, and then headed for the Sutra Pavilion.The maids and servants followed behind.

Yue'e looked at each other all the way, but saw that the temple was very large and magnificent, and it was indeed a good place. After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, they turned to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, but there were three buildings again, and another monk came forward to collect it. Go in, enter the main building, and sure enough, I saw a statue of Guanyin standing in front of me.

Mrs. Xie bowed first, and Yue'e bowed again. Mrs. Xie said: "If you have any wish, you can make it silently. Master Guanyin is the most effective."

Yue'e nodded, put her hands together, and knelt in front of the Avalokitesvara statue, with the sound of Zen singing beside her ears, and sandalwood incense lingering in her nose. Turn into monstrous waves.

From the previous life to this life, bit by bit, scene after scene, flashed in my heart like a revolving lantern. Since coming to this life, encounters with the Wang family, meeting Jing'an, running and fleeing until there is nowhere to escape... I was wet in an instant. eyelashes.

After Yue'e paid her respects, she and Mrs. Xie went out of the Buddhist scripture pavilion. Because she had just knelt for a long time, her legs were numb. When she was about to go down the steps, Yue'e stepped on the ground and turned her body. The servant girl rushed to help , but saw a person under the steps stretch out his hand, quickly supported Yue'e's waist, and said, "Be careful, female benefactor."

Yue'e felt a little strange, but when she raised her head, she met a pair of extremely bright eyes, and stared at her blankly for a while, but she was an unfamiliar monk, quite handsome and tall.

Xiaokui and the maid went up to help Yue'e, Madam Xie hurried over and said, "Have you been hurt?" Yue'e shook her head.

The monk raised his hands in salute, bowed his head and stepped back.

Because of Yue'e's surprise, Mrs. Xie said: "It must be because I woke up in a hurry in the morning and didn't eat breakfast, um...in that case..." Then she said to Yue'e, "The Baiyi Temple is not far from Xiangye Temple. You come to Xiangye Temple to worship Buddha on weekdays, and you rest there at night, why not take you there to rest, and they cook good vegetarian food there, you will definitely like it." Seeing her kindness, Yue'e said : "It's all up to Madam."

A group of people left the Xiangye Temple and headed towards the Baiyi Temple. Sure enough, after walking for a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the place. At the big mountain gate, the maids went to report first, and after a while, nuns came out to meet them.

Although this Baiyi nunnery is not big, it is small and exquisite, and some places are specially used to entertain officials or ladies and wives of rich families. Naturally, it is skillful in making, Yue'e accompanied Mrs. Xie into the inner hall, and rested in the conservatory. At that time, the nun in Baiyi nunnery was busy preparing vegetables.

Mrs. Xie rested for a while, and said: "Although it is not as prosperous as Xiangye Temple, it is still rare, because there is a bodhi tree in the backyard of Baiyi Nunnery, and it is the most effective to make marriages perfect. Therefore, those daughters' homes, If you want to ask someone you like, you will come here, write the name of the person on the red paper, hang it on the branch, and you will achieve great things."

Yue'e said: "This is a bit strange." Mrs. Xie said: "When the Buddha became a monk and became a Buddha, he figured everything out under the bodhi tree, so it is not surprising that it will come true. I remember that there were many battles outside. Many men in the capital were conscripted, and the remaining women thought day and night, worrying about the safety of their husbands, some people came to this Baiyi Nunnery to pray for the blessing of the Buddha, and most of the men who tied the wishing knots returned safely. But it’s not nonsense.”

Yue'e nodded, and after a while, the vegetarian meal came. Although it was a vegetarian dish, it was delicious, delicious, and it was really good, so Yue'e ate with Mrs. Xie for a while.

After dinner, Mrs. Xie was sleepy, so she wanted to rest for a while, and asked her aunt to take Yue'e to rest. Then he said: "The almsgiver left this room, walked to the left, and came across a small door. After passing through, he saw the Bodhisattva Hall, which contained writing paper. Then he went out of the side door of the hall, and saw the tree."

After the girl left, Yue'e thought about it, and Xiaokui said, "Madam, why don't you go and have a look?" Yue'e said, "What is there to see?" Xiaokui said, "I've heard that it is very effective, Now that we're here, wouldn't it be a pity not to take a look?" Yue'e looked at Xiaokui, and said with a smile, "Could it be that Xiaokui has someone on her mind?" Xiaokui blushed, and said, "Don't make fun of me, my lady." , I want to pray for the safety of my family."

Yue'e nodded and said, "Why don't we go and have a look." Seeing her nodding, Xiaokui was very happy, so she came to support the tree.

The two of them followed what the aunt said, and they turned to the Bodhisattva Hall. It was noon, and no one was there. Sure enough, there were ready-made pens and ink on the table.Xiaokui said: "Although there is no one there, it would be great if the lady can write." Then she rolled up her sleeves and began to rub the ink.

Seeing her enthusiasm, Yue'e could only smile, and after a while Xiaokui finished grinding the ink, Yue'e asked: "What do you want to write, I will write for you." Xiaokui said happily: "Thank you, my lady, I will I want to write: I hope my father and brother are safe, and my father's illness will recover soon!" Yue'e nodded, and wrote slowly and seriously, but Xiaokui didn't recognize it, so she took it happily and waited for the ink to dry.

But Yue'e picked up the pen in a daze, frowned and thought carefully, and after a while, finally wrote one.

After a while, the writing papers of both of them were dry, and Xiao Kui jumped back, took two beautiful red bags with tassels on them, and said, "Lady, put the writing paper in quickly." Yue'e saw that she folded the writing paper carefully, Putting it inside, she drew a gourd in the same way, folded it with a smile, and the two of them carried two small red bags and walked towards the side door.

In the small courtyard, there is indeed a very old tree in the center, the roots are intertwined, old-fashioned, and the branches are overgrown. There are various heart knots hanging on it, some of which have faded, and some are still colorful. Fluttering in the wind, against the white snow on the eaves in the distance, it is magnificent.

Yue'e and Xiaokui raised their hearts, and both of them stepped out of the threshold of the Bodhisattva Hall. They were about to go down the Bodhi tree. When they looked up, they saw two people standing side by side under the tree. One was dressed as a nun, but She couldn't hide her graceful figure, but the other...but...

When Yue'e saw that person, her scalp felt numb in an instant.Xiaokui was at the side, and said, "My lady...that, isn't that Lord Hou? He...he..." Just as he was speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth with his hand, and exclaimed in a low voice: But in front of him, Xie Jing'an was Stretching out his hand, he was hugging Nani Monk.
