Chapter 21
As the new year approaches, the old lady wants to go to the temple to offer incense, and all the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of the mansion go with her.Although Ruoxi is afraid of the cold, since she traveled here, she has no chance to leave the mansion except in the farm or in the mansion.Now that she has the opportunity to go out for a walk, she will naturally be very happy.

Originally, she planned to take Guiyuan with her, but unfortunately she fell ill, so she had to take Lue there.Qingyu packed a big bag, which contained big woolen clothes, a hand stove, books that Ruoxi often read, etc.

"I just came back after staying in the temple for one night, what are you doing with so many things?" Ruoxi frowned when she saw this.

Qingyu said with a smile when she heard the words: "Just now, my servant saw Ba Niu's girl drying her cloak outside. I heard that she brought a lot of things. She said that Ba Niu didn't like to use things from the temple, so she even brought her own teacups! Miss this point What is it? Anyway, there is a carriage pulling up the mountain, and there is no need for Lue to carry it a few steps away."

"As the saying goes, it's hard to go out for half a day at home! It's better to prepare more things so that you don't get caught when you are in trouble." Lue also said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ruoxi had no choice but to let them go, and then told Qingyu to stay and take care of Guiyuan.

The next day, several carriages were parked in front of the Han Mansion, and the streets on both sides had already been cleaned by servants.The master in the school went home to celebrate the New Year, so Brother Yu, the fourth young master of the second room, rode a big horse to open the way ahead. The old lady knew that Brother Wei was weak, so she called him to sit in the sedan chair, and he was not allowed to ride a horse outside.Eleventh Master was still young, so he rode with Ruoxi and Ruoying in a green silk car.

The group went to Puji Temple, which is the most popular temple outside the city. The Puji Temple is very large, and the halls are filled with cigarette smoke all day long, and the sound of wooden fishes chanting scriptures can be heard endlessly.The temple was built halfway up the mountain. A few years ago, some good people voluntarily donated money to build the road up the mountain, and the horse-drawn carriage could go directly to the temple gate.

The old lady of the Han family comes here thirty or fifty times a year, and every time she comes, she must donate some money for incense.Brother Yu rode first, and had already gone in to make arrangements. The abbot of the temple greeted him at the door in person.

"Old lady, don't come here without any harm." The abbot of Puji Temple is called Wuchen, and he had received the favor of the old lady when he was young, so when he saw the old lady, he was more enthusiastic in detachment.

The old lady replied with a smile: "Master Tong'an, I, a common man, have come to bother you again."

"All beings are equal in front of the Buddha, how can there be a vulgar saying? I just entered my Buddhist sect first, and I dare not call it refined." Wu Chen's words sounded a bit like a master.

It was the first time for Ruoxi to come to such a large monastery, seeing the majestic hall, and standing at the feet of the Buddha, she couldn't help but feel a surge of worship.The idlers had been cleared away, and the old lady led everyone in the Han House to kneel down and offer incense.First is the Daxiong Hall, then the side halls on both sides, then go to the back, and finally light an ever-burning lamp at the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

After more than an hour of laps, the old lady was obviously tired.Wu Chen led them to rest in the meditation room in the backyard, and ordered the young monk to prepare a fast meal.

The old lady, the eldest lady and others all lay down to take a nap, but Ruoxi was full of energy and didn't want to sleep.She opened the back window, and saw a bamboo forest in the distance, although it was deep winter, it was still green.There are few people there near the back mountain, and now that the pilgrims have already gone down the mountain at dusk, she thought about taking a stroll.

She put on the gorilla felt cloak and walked outside, Lue hurriedly chased after her.

The bamboo forest was not far away, but it took her half a cup of tea to get there.What a big piece!She turned around slowly, and saw that there were stone tables and chairs inside.There are thick bright blue cushions on the chairs, and a guqin on the table.

Ruoxi played the guqin in elementary school in modern times, so when she saw her today, she naturally felt familiar.Taking a closer look, this Guqin is actually made of a tung-faced catalpa, with rare broken marks of cow hair on it, which shows that this Qin is very old.Looking at its shape and checking its structure, it looks a bit like the ancient famous Qin Luqi described in the book!
Anyone who likes guqin will be unable to move when they see this qin!She couldn't help fiddled with it lightly, only to hear the sound was about to come out, and there was an aftertaste after lingering. It's really a good tone that can't be seen in a thousand years!

After hearing such a natural sound, she couldn't bear it any more, and sat down to play it. It was a new modern "Meeting and Joy".Thinking back to when Teresa Teng used her sweet voice to sing the full of sorrows of Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was subjugated and survived, she adapted it and played it on the guqin, which became Ruoxi's favorite.

"Silently go up to the west building alone, the moon is like a hook. The lonely phoenix tree is locked in the deep courtyard. The autumn is locked. The cutting is constant, and the management is still chaotic. It is the sorrow of parting. Don't feel the ordinary feeling in my heart." She played and sang softly, and the green calyx beside her Can't help but be stupefied.

The sound of the zither is like weeping, as if telling a sad story, Ruoxi's ethereal voice is full of endless pain and melancholy.Suddenly, a whistling sound came in, and it quickly captured the emotion of the tune, and gradually melted into one with the sound of the piano.

Lue seemed to have seen Ruoxi being bullied and humiliated in the farm, seeing the scene where their master and servant depended on each other, and she didn't know when she burst into tears.

The sound of the zither, the flute, and Ruoxi's chanting slowly stopped, but it seemed that there was still a lingering sound lingering over the bamboo forest.

"The little girl couldn't help but want to play the ancient famous Qin Luqi. Please forgive me if I offend you." If it was just a guess before, then after playing a piece, she can conclude that this piece is Luqi.I didn't expect to see her again in her lifetime, playing such a famous piano with her own hands, it's really not in vain to live again!
As soon as she finished speaking, a man wearing fox white fur came out from the depths of the bamboo forest.

He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore a white jade crown with hair inlaid on his head, and a sachet, name charm, jade pendant and other things hung around his waist.Judging by his attire, he should be the young master of a rich family, but there is no servant around him.

In an inaccessible place, although there are green calyxes on the side, it is always indecent.Ruoxi didn't look at the man's face, and quickly turned sideways to apologize.

"Young lady can play the piano well, and she can read a good poem! If I hadn't given away this Guqin, it would be appropriate to give it to the young lady!" He looked at Ruoxi without blinking.

When Lue saw this, she frowned and hurriedly stood in front of Ruoxi. Ruoxi was also unhappy when she heard this, and said softly: "It seems that the young master is the master of this guqin, so forgive me for making rash moves! If the young master forgives me, the little girl I will take my leave first." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Her back gradually disappeared, but she saw another man with a flute turning out of the bamboo grove.

"Third brother, what are you looking at when the girl has gone away?" His eyes flickered, and he couldn't see the joy and anger in his heart.

"This woman is full of talent, just the type I like." He looked joyful, "Wuyan went up to the west building alone, the moon was like a hook, and the lonely phoenix tree was locked in the deep courtyard! I can't help but feel distressed. I don't know which family's female family member it is, but has it ever been engaged? I'll go and find out!" After saying that, she left in a hurry.
