Splendid Book

Chapter 13
Baoen Temple has a wing room for female relatives to rest. At this time, the old lady is already drinking tea in the wing room, and next to him is an old monk in monk robes, looking at the appearance of his face. He is more than 60 years old, younger than her grandmother. Both are much bigger.

"This is the eldest daughter of my eldest son, Chang Le," the old lady introduced her to the master immediately when she saw her coming.

Although Shen Changle didn't know who this master was, he still folded his hands obediently and bowed to him.

At this time, the master who was originally sitting on the chair suddenly got up.The old lady was taken aback, but at this time the master had put his palms together to salute Shen Changle, "Miss, you are a noble person, you shouldn't salute to an outsider like me."

Shen Changle was taken aback for a moment, and blinked, but the old lady next to her immediately said seriously: "Nurse Qin, you lead the girl outside to buy some pastries."

Nanny Qin is the old lady's personal nurse, and upon hearing this, she knew how cautious the old lady was.So she came over immediately, smiled and said to Shen Changle: "Girl, the cakes in Baoen Temple are very good, no worse than those in our house, the old slave will lead the girl to use some."

Shen Changle nodded, obediently took Qin Nanny's hand and went out, and the other maids in the room also followed.Only the old lady and the master were left in the meditation room. The old lady took a deep breath and asked softly, "I don't know what the master said?"

This master's name is Huiming, and he is a well-known eminent monk in the capital. When the old lady was in the capital, she often went to the temple where he was, so she was quite familiar with this master.Before she came, she didn't know whether the master was in the Baoen Temple, or after she went to the wing to rest, a little novice came over, saying that an old friend wanted to visit.

She knew very well that Master Huiming was highly respected by the women's families in Beijing, so many people rushed to see him first, so as to get advice.So if it was an ordinary nobleman, he would not be so surprised, and return the gift so solemnly.

"The girl in the mansion is a blessed person. I have met countless people in my life, but no one has such a blessing as a girl." Master Huiming smiled faintly, but still did not point out.

The old lady pondered for a while, knowing that even if she continued to ask, the master might not say anything more, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, master, for your guidance."

After Master Huiming left, the old lady sat alone in the meditation room for a long time.

At this time, Shen Changle was sitting outside, obediently eating pastries, and Mother Qin next to her said with a smile, "Girl, you can't eat too much, or you won't be able to use it for lunch later."

Shen Changle held the pastry in his hand, nodded, but still praised: "The pastry here is really delicious."

Originally, she thought that Nanny Qin was exaggerating, but who would have thought that the cakes from Baoen Temple were really good.I just don't know why Ji Yu is hungry?Shen Changle shook her head, why did she think of him.

After lunch, the old lady was a little tired and went to take a lunch break.And Aunt Shun also coaxed Shen Changle to sleep, but she finally came out, how could she be willing to just sleep in the yard.So she looked at the old lady helplessly, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, can I go out for a stroll?"

"You girl, I knew you couldn't be idle," the old lady smiled, but she didn't stop her. Instead, she said to Aunt Shun, "You take the girl out for a stroll. Remember to take good care of you, and don't let people Hit the girl."

As soon as Aunt Shun heard that the old lady agreed, she immediately said: "Old lady, don't worry, the servant will serve the girl well."

The old lady nodded, and let the servant girl help her into the wing room.And Shen Changle rushed outside after the old lady left, Aunt Shun stopped her, and said softly: "The sun is very poisonous outside, why don't you wear a veiled hat, so as not to get sunburned?"

Shen Changle immediately pouted and said, "Wouldn't it be hotter, I don't want to take it."

"Aunt Shun, didn't the little pastry chef just say that there is a pavilion in the back mountain, why don't we go there for a stroll," Shen Changle immediately proposed when he saw the hesitation on Aunt Shun's face.

Aunt Shun knew she couldn't persuade her anymore, so she agreed.She also ordered the servant girl to bring some chilled fruits, and later in the gazebo, she could eat the fruits while watching the scenery.

Originally Chunliu wanted to hug her, but Shen Changle refused.Although she is small, her steps are fast, and she runs ahead in a flash.There are old trees in the backyard of Baoen Temple, and there are a lot of green bamboos planted in another place, which is shaded by the trees. They walked in it, and the cool breeze was blowing, which was cooler than the inside of the house.

Although the scenery here is not as exquisite as the garden of Shen's Mansion, it is better than the spaciousness, just looking at it makes one's mind open.

Shen Changle walked all the way forward, and after a while, she saw the octagonal gazebo on the hill. She pointed to the gazebo with a smile and said: "Let's compete, whoever climbs up will win."

Before Aunt Shun could stop her, Shen Changle had already thrown her hands away and ran forward.So frightened that Chunliu and the others chased after her, they told her to run slower and be careful not to fall.The little girl's crisp laughter lingered on the mountain road, and behind her was an anxious voice.

Fortunately, the hill is not very high, so Shen Changle climbed to the gazebo, but when she took a closer look, she saw that there were already people inside the gazebo.She was a little disappointed, but still walked over.There was a slightly tall man standing in the gazebo, he was dressed in a gray monk robe, his hair was only tied with bamboo hairpins, this outfit made Shen Changle immediately think of Ji Yu.

It's just that she had only seen Ji Yu in the morning, and he was not so tall.

"Miss San, be careful, don't fall," Chunliu and the others had already arrived, panting, they were worse than Shen Changle, a little doll.

At this time, the man standing in the gazebo seemed to have heard the movement behind him, and stopped the pen in his hand, but did not turn his head. After a while, he still raised his head to paint the scenery in the distance.Shen Changle stood at the back, hesitated for a while, and went into the gazebo.Chunliu and the others followed behind, but they didn't try to stop them.

Shen Changle stood on tiptoe from behind, but the man was too tall, blocking most of the painting.She looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything, so she sat aside in disappointment.Aunt Shun was only brought up by the servant girl now, she is old after all.But as soon as she saw that the gazebo was already occupied, she immediately came over, trying to coax Shen Changle to leave.

"But I'm tired," Shen Changle sat on the stone of the gazebo, his feet dangling in the air.

Aunt Shun had no choice but to say to the man in the gazebo: "My lord, my girl is a bit tired from climbing the mountain, so she wants to rest in this gazebo for a while, and look at the sea when I disturb you."

Shen Changle is only a girl at this time, naturally there is no such thing as a big defense between men and women, but she respects the etiquette of her aunt, knowing that they are coming later, so she is afraid of disturbing her elegance.At this time, the man in the gazebo turned his head slowly, and saw his fair face under the sunlight, like glazed white porcelain, exuding a graceful and elegant luster, his bright eyes were calm and indifferent, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. With a slight smile.

What an elegant and coquettish figure, plus he was wearing a gray monk robe without a single accessory around his body, he was really simple and elegant to the extreme.

Shen Changle looked up at him, and the moment she saw his face, she guessed who he was.

Zhennan Wang Jiheng, the first prince to become a monk since this dynasty.

"This gazebo is for people to rest, please do it yourself," he nodded slightly, then turned his head and continued to paint.

Aunt Shun didn't dare to disturb, she just beckoned the servant girl to spread a bamboo mat on the stone bench, and put the things she brought on the stone table.The servant girl of the Shen family did all this lightly, then retreated outside the gazebo.Shen Changle looked at Ji Heng carefully, and couldn't help holding his breath, for fear of disturbing his elegance.

Unexpectedly, gradually, she felt that her upper and lower eyelids were extremely heavy, and in the end she couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep.

While she was in a daze, suddenly there was a voice from the gazebo. She was startled by the noisy voice and couldn't help frowning and humming twice.

At this time, Ji Heng also turned his head and made a quiet gesture to Ji Yu.Ji Yu looked at the little girl lying in the arms of the middle-aged woman in the gazebo. Although her face was half covered by the water-blue skirt, he still recognized her as the little girl in today's Buddha Hall at a glance. .

This fat girl will find a place to sleep, and she will be in the place where the emperor's uncle paints.

"Master Huiming is still in the temple, isn't uncle going to see him?" Ji Yu walked up to Ji Heng and asked softly.

Ji Heng didn't stop the movement of his hand, Ji Yu stood quietly aside, watching Ji Heng outline the outline of the mountain with just a few strokes.The father once praised the uncle's painting skills, but now it seems that it is probably because the uncle can calm down.

After a while, there was a groaning sound from the pavilion, Ji Yu looked back, and saw the little girl rubbed her eyes with her plump little hands, her face turned around, and the corners of her mouth were shining, he looked at it for a while, and finally Laughed softly.

And Shen Changle woke up after a nap, she was really sweet, she first reached out and rubbed her eyes, then touched the corners of her mouth.As a result, she heard someone laughing next to her ear, she opened her eyes, looked over, and saw Ji Yu looking at her.

Shen Changle jumped up almost immediately, but she was still in Aunt Shun's arms, so she was hugged by Aunt Shun, and said in fear: "Girl, don't fall yourself."

Hahaha, Ji Yu couldn't hold back this time and laughed.Ji Heng, who was painting, also put down his brush and glanced behind him.

Shen Changle blinked and held back for a long time before shouting: "You, why are you here?"

Ji Yu shook his head, stretched out his hand to stroke the corner of his mouth, Shen Changle wiped his mouth with his hand, it was saliva.

She actually drooled in front of Ji Yu, she actually drooled in front of him.Shen Changle pursed his lips tightly, with an expression on his face that was about to cry, but Aunt Shun who was next to her didn't realize it, so she took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "Girl, you can't touch it with your hands. The servant wipes the girl with a handkerchief."

Aunt Shun, don't say any more, I'm already embarrassing enough.Shen Changle gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart.

"Little girl," Ji Yu lowered her head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Ji Heng stopped him and said, "Lao Qi, don't be rude."

"Girl, do you want to use some fruit?" Aunt Shun also saw her girl's displeasure, so she hurriedly coaxed her.

"I don't want to eat, I want to go back," Shen Changle put his hands on his chest, turned his head to the other side, and made an expression that I don't know as much as you, but Ji Yu wanted to laugh even more after seeing it.

"Okay, Lao Qi, you can go down the mountain with me too," Ji Heng personally collected the paintings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table.

When Shen Changle heard that they were leaving, he suddenly rolled his eyes, turned his head with a smile, and said to Ji Yu: "Little brother, that mountain road is so long, can you carry me down?"

"Girl, let the maidservant do the reciting, I've never met you before, how can I bother this young master," Aunt Shun was shocked when she saw her say this, and quickly coaxed her.Although both of them are dressed in monk's robes, but they have long hair, and both of them are noble, in Shun Gu's opinion, they are just some noble son who is practicing in this temple temporarily.

Unexpectedly, Shen Changle giggled, pointed at Ji Yu and said: "I know this little brother, and he even took the Buddha's in the Buddhist hall..."

"Okay, I'll carry you down the mountain," Ji Yu interrupted before she finished speaking.

Aunt Shun was even more embarrassed. She knew that her daughter was delicate, but there was a maid around her who would not recite it, but let someone else recite it. She was really sorry.

On the other hand, Ji Yu smiled at this time, and said softly: "You don't have to be polite, mama, I have hit it off with this little benefactor, and it is considered fate. Besides, the journey in the mountain is indeed difficult, she is still young, if she is allowed to go down the mountain by herself, it is inevitable It's too difficult."

So, in the end Shen Changle leaned comfortably in Ji Yu's arms and went down the mountain.

But Ji Yu is only a seven-year-old boy, and he walked steadily when he first hugged her.But going down the mountain was more difficult than going up. After halfway through, he was sweating profusely and his face was flushed. He didn't have the grace and dignity before.

However, Shen Changle smiled and raised her little hand to him, and shouted: "Little brother, come on."

"Hehe," Ji Yu sneered twice, ignoring her, and rushed down the mountain with her arms in his arms.If he didn't want the emperor to know that he was so hungry that he ate the fruit from the Buddhist temple, how could he let this eccentric little girl get her wish.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, after Ji Yu put her down, he gasped heavily.And Ji Heng came over leisurely behind him, looked at his nephew's embarrassed appearance, then at the chubby little girl, and said with a soft smile, "What a smart little girl."

"Thank you, Young Master, for your compliment," Shen Changle said loudly.

This time, even Ji Heng burst out laughing.
