stern wife

Chapter 316

It rained heavily all night and it still didn't stop. The autumn wind blowing head-on was cold and damp, and the coolness was so refreshing that Pei Xiaoran couldn't help but sneezed loudly.

Seeing this, Han Chan hurriedly said:
"How about I go back and bring some clothes? I didn't expect it to be so cold on the mountain and it was raining. I should bring some thick clothes when I go out."

Pei Xiaoran didn't care much, he waved his hands and said:

"No need, this cloak is enough, the hall should be warmer."

Han Chan sighed and couldn't help complaining in a low voice:

"Master, it's true. Anyway, we've already arrived. It's not too late to pray after the rain stops. Why do we have to go when it's raining?"

Pei Xiaoran chuckled lightly and said:
"It's good when it rains. Wouldn't it be better to show how filial some people are when it rains?"

Han Chan curled her lips, stopped talking, and concentrated on holding the umbrella for her.

Wu Shi, Pei Yutong, and Pei Yuxuan had already gone to the front hall, and sent someone to inform Pei Xiaoran, telling her not to call them, and not to worry, it would not be too late to go after breakfast.

Anyway, she is a child, so what does it matter if she goes late?

As long as she goes, no one will dare to say that she is unfilial.

It was not long before dawn at this time, Pei Xiaoran was not very interested in praying for the old lady, he really wasn't in a hurry, and walked forward while admiring the surrounding scenery with his little hands behind his back.

Before he knew it, he had already reached a fence in the open space in front of the main hall.

Pei Xiaoran leaned on the fence and looked down the mountain. He saw lush trees, and the large branches and leaves of the sycamore tree swayed left and right under the beating of the raindrops. The withered and yellow leaves could not hold on, and they fell with the rain. It was indescribably beautiful and spectacular. .

Pei Xiaoran was attracted for a moment, and stood there without moving.

At this time, in the Great Hall of Great Heroes, a young man in brocade clothes stood in front of the Buddha, watching the abbot light an ever-burning lamp.

Since the young man had 10 taels of lamp oil money when he made a move, the young monk didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly invited the abbot from the temple to entertain him.

After the abbot lit the ever-burning lamp with his own hands, he asked someone to offer a pen and ink, and said in a slow voice:
"Please write down the name and birthday of the person who lights the lamp."

The boy was not in a hurry to write, but said:
"I want this lamp to be lit forever, year after year, from generation to generation, as long as this Fu'an Temple is still alive, this lamp will be lit for a day, I wonder if it is possible?"

The abbot showed a slight embarrassment:

"This……"

The young man said lightly:
"10 taels is all I can give now. When I gain power in the future, I will donate it in the past year, and I will never break my promise."

"No, no, this old monk didn't mean that," the abbot quickly waved his hands and explained:
"It's just that the future is unpredictable, and I'm afraid of accidents. I dare not promise that this lamp can be kept lit for generations. However, I will tell future generations, let him pass it on, and do our best. I don't know what to do next?"

The boy nodded and said:
"Very good."

Only then did he take the pen and paper, stroke by stroke, earnestly write down on the paper the name and birthday of the person he is praying for God to bless.

The abbot originally thought that the person who was so troublesome to pray for the protection of the gods and Buddhas would be his biological father or mother, but when he took the paper and looked at it, the age calculated from the birth date was only about six or seven years old.

Could it be his brother or sister?
The abbot didn't think much, folded the paper carefully, and pressed it under the lamp holder.

The young man cleans his hands and burns incense, and after standing silently for a while, he turns and leaves the hall.

The attendants behind him hurriedly put on the cloak for him, but just as he left the hall, the young man stopped in his footsteps again.

A lone wild goose flapped its wings in a hurry and flew past overhead.

The lonely geese in the sky, the fallen leaves on the phoenix tree, that man is standing between the sky and the earth, a dark red cloak fluttering gently in the wind, long hair like a waterfall, and a straight back, but the small figure exudes a strong temperament inexplicably .

The young man was in a daze, as if he had seen the person from his previous life again, handsome and unrestrained in fresh clothes and angry horses.

No matter standing or sitting, her back is always straight, like a spear that can pierce an enemy's heart, and like a proud bamboo, it will not be broken by any wind and rain.

...But in the end, this arrogance fell at his own feet.

A rare bit of remorse appeared in the boy's calm eyes. He saw a dead leaf dangling and landed on the man's shoulder, but the man was only talking to the girl beside him and didn't see it, so he walked away past.

Pei Xiaoran was concentrating on discussing with Han Chan which dish was the best in the temple, when suddenly he felt something touch his left shoulder, he jumped in shock, and immediately turned his head to look.

After seeing the face of the person standing behind her who didn't know when, Pei Xiaoran immediately stepped back a few steps, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

She pulled Han Chan to salute the other party, and then saw a dead leaf pinched by the other party's fingertips. Knowing that the other party would touch her just now, it was probably to help her take this leaf away, so she said politely:

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for brushing away the fallen leaves for the little girl. My little girl didn't know that His Highness the First Prince was coming, so she was far away from welcoming him, so I ask His Highness to apologise."

Zhu Lianxi looked at the little girl who was obviously alienating him, and guessed that it was probably because he was too abrupt when they first met, which scared the young counterpart, so he slowed down his expression and said softly:
"Sister Xiaoran, don't be polite to me. I appeared suddenly and scared my sister. I should apologize to my sister."

Hearing the words, the entourage next to him immediately looked at his master with a look like he had seen a ghost.

His master's temper was quite gentle, but it was the first time he had ever talked to a little girl in such a low voice.

The background of this little girl is indeed quite big, but what is the identity of her master?There is no need to please this little brat!
Pei Xiaoran didn't appreciate it at all, and only said lightly:

"I dare not. I wonder if His Highness has other matters? If not, the little girl will go into the palace to pray for grandma."

Zhu Lianxi took a deep look at her, but did not stop her, saying:

"Nothing, you go."

The reason why he chose to come to Wutong Mountain to light the ever-burning lanterns today was because he had received news that Pei Xiaoran's family would come to this mountain to pray for the old lady.

He thought, even if he could see her once.

Now that I have seen this side, I have nothing else to ask for.

Pei Xiaoran saluted again, and hurried away with Han Chan.

The attendant looked at her leaving back, curled his lips, and said with a little resentment:
"Miss from another family has seen you, and it's too late to flatter you! This Miss Sixth of the Pei family has been favored by the emperor, and she seems to be inflated, and she doesn't even pay attention to you. Look at this speed, she seems to be eager to leave You seem to be farther away, don't play some tricks of trying to get you?"

Inflated?Playing hard to get?

Everyone in this world can do it, except Pei Xiaoran, absolutely not.

Zhu Lianxi glanced at the attendant coldly, the attendant trembled all over, and quickly shut his mouth tightly.

When he looked up again, the small figure had disappeared into the hall, Zhu Lianxi sighed softly, turned and went down the mountain.
