Chapter 53 Blessing (3)

Section 053 Pray (3)

The main temple of Yonglian Temple is on the hillside of Yonglian Mountain.The rugged mountain road was difficult, and it took about half an hour to reach the temple.

In front of the temple gate, there is a large bluestone open space for pilgrims to drop off their sedan chairs.

Jiao Lifu stopped the pergola steadily, Dong Yuan stepped down quickly, walked to the old lady, and supported the old lady with Baojin, faster than the lady Shizi who was close by.

Ninth Miss Dongyuan has always spent time on the old lady, others are used to it, and they don't think she is too flattering.It's just that Fifth Madam and Xue Donglin couldn't help curling their lips in disgust.

When Dong Yuan raised his head, he saw the expressions of Fifth Madam and Xue Donglin, they still smiled peacefully, and their expressions remained unchanged.

The Fifth Madam felt that her thoughts were too deep and vicious, and she became more and more disgusted with her, but she was somewhat on guard and did not dare to provoke her publicly.

Dong Yuan became the princess, and Xue Dongshu, the eleventh girl, became the concubine Shu. Among the three prostitutes who entered the palace together, only her biological daughter Xue Donglin got nothing.How can the fifth wife not be jealous, how can she not hate Xue Dongyuan and Xue Dongshu?

Helplessly, this pair of sisters, the Fifth Madam, dare not move any of them now.

While she was thinking about it, she heard Yang's mother calling her: "Madam, be careful where you step."

It turned out that the fifth lady was stupefied, Mrs. Shizi and Dong Yuan supported the old lady, and the others followed, and had already entered the gate of the temple.

Fifth Madam helped Yang's mother, and quickly followed her.

At the gate of the mountain of Yonglian Temple, a row of monks in black clothes stood.Behind them, there is a gatehouse several feet high. The vermilion gate is reflected in the bright setting sun, solemn and solemn, and the scent of sandalwood mixed with the green breath of mountain trees is refreshing.

The headed old monk is the current abbot of Yonglian Temple, whose dharma name is Lianchi.

All the monks clasped their hands together to salute the female family members of the Xue family, and the old lady led the female family members of the Xue family into Yonglian Temple.

There is a huge incense burner in the courtyard, nine disc chisels are carved on the bronze, and incense candles are lit, and the quiet fragrance is constantly permeating.

Bypassing the censer is the main hall.

There are eighteen tall and colorful pillars standing at the gate of the golden gate with three entrances. Eighteen arhats are carved. When you walk in and take a closer look, you realize that it is not painted with paint, but decorated with shells to make a lifelike arhat. The character, Dong Yuan praised in his heart.

The artisans who do this work are really skilled!
On the gate of the main hall, there are relief carvings depicting the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, with gorgeous colors and vivid characters, as if they were alive, and everyone admired them in their hearts.

The monks had already prepared joss sticks, lit them and entrusted them to the old lady and everyone in the Xue family.

Everyone picked it up, offered incense to the Bodhisattva one by one, and bowed down devoutly.

After a round of pilgrimage to the main hall, Master Lianchi said: "Old lady, I have already prepared a room for fasting. The old lady and all the ladies and ladies are exhausted. Why don't you rest for a while?"

Everyone in the Xue residence was indeed tired, and the old lady was holding on, so she smiled and said, "Trouble master."

Master Lianchi followed the young novice and led the crowd to the back room to rest.

To clean the face with water, everyone is busy.

After resting, they all came to the old lady's wing and waited for the iftar.Dong Yuan and Mrs. Shizi had already groomed and groomed, and helped the old lady recomb her hair and face, making it difficult for Mother Zhan and the scarf to get in her hands.

After the old lady finished washing, she went to the big wing room next door for dinner.

Mrs. Shizi asked the third and fourth wives to serve her, and said with a smile: "I'll go ahead and see if everything has been brought up?"

The caged carriage of Xue's mansion is behind, and it is slower to go up the mountain.

Then he said to Xue Dongyuan who was serving the old lady for dinner: "Sister Yuan, I need a helper, please help me!"

Grandma Hang hurriedly said, "Mother, let me go too."

Mrs. Shizi asked her to sit down, and said with a smile: "On weekdays, you always help. If you come out today, you will benefit for a day. Sister Yuan is about to get married. If you don't order her now, there will be no chance in the future. Sister Yuan , help my aunt to take care of her at the front, your sister-in-law takes care of your grandmother and asks her to be filial."

Everyone who spoke laughed.

Xue Dongyuan's face turned slightly red.She knew in her heart that Mrs. Shizi wanted to teach her how to manage the house.

On weekdays, he always takes the eldest grandma with him to teach him how to behave, but today he wants to take Dong Yuan with him because she is about to get married, and he is afraid that she will not be able to handle it in the future.

Even though he was a bit cramped, Dong Yuan was also grateful.

The old lady understood, so she smiled and said: "Your aunt just doesn't want you to be idle. Go, go, come back for dinner soon."

Dong Yuan knelt and said yes.

Mrs. Shizi didn't say much, she smiled and pulled Dong Yuan out of the wing.

Rong's mother was already outside the wing.

Mrs. Shizi winked at Rong's mother.

Mother Rong understood and said nothing more.Mrs. Shizi pulled Dong Yuan, and quickly walked around the corridor in front of the wing room, turning behind a rockery in the southwest.

Mrs. Shizi looked a little anxious, and she pulled Dong Yuan away quickly.

Dong Yuan was a little confused: "Auntie, shouldn't we go to the front to look at the cage?"

Only then did Mrs. Shizi stop.She looked around and saw no one around, so she said to Dong Yuan: "Good boy, do you believe in Eldest Aunt?"

Dong Yuan thought of the look in her eyes when she came back from the palace that day, and she felt strange in her heart. She unconsciously became vigilant, but she nodded with a ignorant expression on her face: "Why did the auntie ask this question so well? I naturally believe in the auntie." of."

Mrs. Shi Zi took her hand and said: "Sister Yuan, since you believe in Auntie Rong, Mama Rong will take you to a place. Please hurry up and wait for me here when you come back. If I come back first, I'm waiting for you here too, remember, when you meet someone, hide behind the rockery."

Rong's mother didn't wait for Dong Yuan's reaction, she took Dong Yuan's hand: "Miss Nine, you come with this slave!"

Dong Yuan's strength was not as strong as that of Rong's mother, and she staggered her steps, so she couldn't help letting her go.Full of suspicion, she couldn't help turning to look at Mrs. Shizi.

Under the slanting light at dusk, Mrs. Shizi was standing there quietly in an official green begonia-patterned begonia.The golden sunset illuminated the broken lights in her eyes, her expression was serene and calm, and the anxiety just now disappeared.Seeing Dong Yuan turning her head, she waved at Dong Yuan: "Sister Yuan, go quickly!"

Mama Rong left in a hurry, Mrs. Shizi turned back and went to the front yard, Dong Yuan could only follow Mama Rong, trotting all the way, heading southwest.

Full of suspicion, Dong Yuan couldn't help beating drums in his heart.

But she knew that Mrs. Shizi didn't intend to harm her.

She was led out from the old lady by Mrs. Shizi herself. If there is any accident with her, the old lady will not let Mrs. Shizi go.

Mrs. Shizi would not be so foolish as to murder her.

But what happened, thousands of thoughts flashed through Dong Yuan's mind, and she remembered the last time Shizi's wife entered the palace.

Is it?

Her back suddenly felt cold, and her scalp felt a little numb.

After about two cups of tea, an exquisite and small courtyard appeared in front of him.The black lacquered door was closed tightly. Mother Rong looked around and knocked lightly when she saw no one was there.

A man inside asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Dong Yuan's heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden, if nothing unexpected happened, she would already be able to guess who was inside!

**
On the other side of the wing, the old lady and the others were having dinner. Grandpa Xue Huajing walked in quickly, greeted the old lady, and said, "Grandmother, my mother was distributing boxes and cages ahead, and happened to meet Mrs. Shengchang Hou who was going up to the mountain to offer incense. There is a whole group of people. I heard that you are here, and I want to say hello to you. It is convenient for me to come in and ask. The eldest son of the Sheng family and the third master are male relatives, and they have been given the Southwest Wing to rest. Don't hinder the ladies. "

Mrs. Shengchanghou is the future mother-in-law of Ninth Miss Xue Dongyuan.

The old lady's eyes were slightly quiet, and it took a while before she smiled and said: "Please come quickly, please come quickly!"

The fact that the Xue family does not hold a birthday banquet is known to all the prominent families in Shengjing, but they come to Yonglian Temple to pray in a low-key way, and not many people know about it.

It was a coincidence that the Sheng family also came at this time.

The eldest son of the Sheng family and the third master are also here?
Dong Yuan just went to the front to help Mrs. Shizi arrange the cage, did you see it?

The old lady's heart sank again, but she remained calm on the surface.
