Delicate Flower - Chapter 21

[Chapter 21 The Temple]

Zhaoming Temple is located in the East Tianmu Mountain, and there is a Miduo Village at the foot of the mountain.

Yu Tang, Ma Xiuniang and Zhang Gongzi made an appointment to meet here, and then pretended to meet by chance and went to Zhaoming Temple together.

Ma Xiuniang and Zhang Gongzi arrived before Yu Tang.

Yu Tang got out of the sedan chair and apologized repeatedly.

Ma Xiuniang brought her maid, Magpie, smiled and pursed her lips and took Yu Tang’s arm, and said with a smile, “We are not much earlier than you.” She asked Yu Tang again, “Have you had breakfast? Did you bring snacks and tea? ?” After speaking, he glanced at A Tiao, who was panting.

To go to Zhaoming Temple, you have to climb half a mountain, and the road is still a little far.

Everyone has a piety heart because of the incense, or because the price of the sedan chair is too expensive, usually they get off the sedan chair at the foot of the mountain and walk all the way.

A Tiao hurriedly patted the burden on her back and said, “Miss Ma, don’t worry, Mrs. Chen prepared it for us yesterday.” She went up to pay tribute to Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Gongzi nodded.

Yu Tang quickly glanced at him curiously.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he was handsome, fair-skinned, tall and thin, and looked very gentle.

Under the circumstances of not very good home conditions, he was admitted to Tongsheng at this age, which shows that his diligence and qualifications are not bad.

Yu Tang likes smart people.

Zhang Gongzi brought a servant and let Ma Xiuniang and Yu Tang walk in front.

Yu Tang abducted Ma Xiuniang and whispered, “Brother-in-law looks pretty good! Uncle has chosen a good marriage for my sister.”

Ma Xiuniang’s face was flushed with shame, but she didn’t even say a polite word.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with this marriage.

Yu Tang said, “What’s your brother-in-law’s name?”

Ma Xiuniang said in a low voice, “The single name has the word “wisdom”, but I haven’t taken the word yet.”

Is it Zhang Hui?

I don’t know when in the past life was the scholar who passed the exam?

Yu Tang once again sighed that he had a big heart in his previous life.

Perhaps there are a lot of people walking, the mountain road leading to Zhaoming Temple is winding but flat, it is not a sermon or incense meeting, not many people go to worship incense, and they are all old or middle-aged women, young like them. The girl with a young son in the back is very eye-catching.

Anyone who passed them would look back at them.

Although wearing a hat, Ma Xiuniang was still too ashamed and whispered to Yu Tang: “We, let’s make an appointment with Mr. Zhang to meet?”

In this bright day, Ma Xiuniang brought the maid, she brought the servant, Yu Tang thought about it, and nodded with a smile.

Ma Xiuniang turned around and said a few words to Magpie, who covered her mouth with a smile and went to pass on a message to Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui looked up at Ma Xiuniang and nodded reluctantly, which made Yu Tang burst into laughter again.

Ma Xiuniang went to pinch Yu Tang and said coquettishly, “We’re not all for you. If anyone sees something, we won’t be human!”

Yu Tang apologized repeatedly and joked: “Sister, don’t worry. When you leave the cabinet, I will embroider a pair of mandarin duck pillows for my sister to press the bottom of the box no matter what.”

“You damn girl, you are still talking nonsense.”

Ma Xiuniang and Yu Tang were chatting and laughing. Time passed quickly. When the sun just rose, they arrived at Zhaoming Temple.

The two went to the Palace of Heavenly Kings.

Yu Tang took off his hat.

Ma Xiuniang exclaimed in a low voice, “A Tang, you are so beautiful today!”

Yu Tang was wearing a red silk embroidered folded branch and flower robe today, a white silver striped stand-up collar and narrow-sleeved shirt, a black cyan silk sash that followed the clouds, and a gilt silver inlaid pearl slantingly inserted near the temple The small step shakes her skin as light as snow, her eyebrows are picturesque, and she is fresh and beautiful.

She smiled slightly.

Then Li Jun said that she liked her appearance, but she wanted to see how much Li Jun liked her appearance.

Not only did she apply her face, but she also wrinkled her forehead and trimmed her eyebrows.

Come with makeup.

Ma Xiuniang said with emotion: “You should dress up more often.

”

Maybe it’s because Chen Shi is a beauty. Although Yu Tang often hears people compliment her on her beauty, most of the people who praise her are relatives and friends at home or neighbors and elders next door. When she looks in the mirror with her mother, she doesn’t feel how beautiful she is. , I think everyone is being polite.

Later, when she married into the Li family and was coveted by Li Duan, she realized that she might be prettier than many people, but she was already a widow at that time, and she was dressed according to the rules. On weekdays, try to dress yourself up as simple and low-key as possible.

After being reborn, some habits have not changed for a while, no wonder Ma Xiuniang was slightly amazed.

The two paid incense, and rested in the room where the pilgrims were entertained. A Tiao went to find out where Li Jun was.

Ma Xiuniang stared at Yu Tang’s face again and sighed: “Don’t talk about it, the more I look at you, the more beautiful I feel, especially the way you speak and the way you look at me, which seem to be very different from before. But I don’t see you as much. Did you change your clothes and put on a piece of jewelry! Could it be that I had too little contact with you in the past?”

It may be because some of her previous life experiences were engraved in her bones, and now she is more assertive and bolder than her previous life.

Yu Tang smiled and said, “You are a lover’s eyes. I wonder if it’s the same for my brother-in-law?”

“You bastard, I’ll help you, you actually laugh at me!”

The two quarreled again.

After a long time, Ma Xiuniang and Yu Tang were both paralyzed on the Luohan couch.

She said: “I think, just based on your appearance, only you disagree with others, and no one disagrees with you. If you think that the second young master of the Li family has seen it, will you agree to this marriage?”

Ma Xiuniang has never seen Li Jun with her own eyes, so she doesn’t know what Li Jun looks like.

Won’t!

Yu Tang almost blurted out.

She then thought that if she denied Li Jun in this situation, it would definitely make people very strange, so she said: “Marrying is not just marrying him alone, but marrying their family.”

“That’s true.” Ma Xiuniang thought for a while, and said, “If I had a mother-in-law like Mrs. Li, I would be annoyed to death.”

The two smiled at each other.

Ma Xiuniang finally stopped persuading her.

Yu Tang asked about Ma Xiuniang’s marriage.

Ma Xiuniang told her that she and Zhang Gongzi would get married in the second half of the year, saying that Zhang Gongzi’s family lacked someone to host the central feed, and wanted her to come in early: “My mother is also a straightforward temperament, and she feels that it is a matter of not agreeing. , since I agreed, it is a family, how to live a good life is serious, and some things are generally OK.” After speaking, she quietly warned her, “My mother said in front of the people outside that our family is early. We talked about kissing, but we were still young and didn’t mention it seriously, so as not to say that we got married on the front foot, and the back foot became a kiss, if someone asks you, don’t miss out.”

“I know, I know!” Yu Tang envied Ma Xiuniang’s smooth marriage.

I don’t know who she will marry.

Recruiting a son-in-law is easy, but it is very difficult to recruit someone who is smart and well behaved.

Yu Tang sighed inwardly.

A Tiao came back to report to her: “The second young master of the Li family was wearing a bamboo-blue Hangzhou silk robe, with a white jade bamboo hairpin in his hairpin, a white belt, and a pair of purses. One was water green, like a sachet; the other was lake green. , wishful thinking. Drink tea at Wu Dao Song with a few classmates.”

The Wudao Pine is located next to the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion on the east side of Zhaoming Temple. It is an ancient pine tree.

Many scholars in Lin’an like to go there to hold poems, drink tea and play chess. The monks in the temple set up stone tables, stone benches, bamboo mats and wooden couches under the trees for those scholars to play.

Yu Tang said, “How far is it from the fountain we made with Zhang Gongzi?”

Xibi Spring is another interesting place in Zhaoming Temple.

It is located on a cliff in the back mountain of Zhaoming Temple. There is a small spring flowing out from the belly of the mountain. The spring water is clear and sweet. It is said that drinking the spring water can clear the eyes and refresh the mind and read smart. Many families in Lin’an City have added children, especially boys. Yes, they will come here to pick up a jug of water for the child to drink, so that the child will be smart and smart after drinking.

Even some people have a headache and a fever, and they come here to pick up a jug of water and go back to drink.

Not to mention those who come to Zhaoming Temple to worship incense, they must come here to drink a sip of mountain spring water.

A Tiao said cleverly: “I’ve already seen it. We go out from here and head west to Wudaosong, and turn north. There is a door to the back mountain of Zhaoming Temple. After going out of the door and then east, there is a road dedicated to washing pens. spring.”

That is to say, they have to go around Wu Daosong.

If it wasn’t for the fact that there was a door leading to the back mountain of Zhaoming Temple, and it was discovered, would they say that they had lost their way?

Ma Xiuniang covered her face.

It was she who decided where to meet Young Master Zhang.

Yu Tang laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back, and urged her: “Let’s go quickly, be careful what will happen if we go late. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com ”

Ma Xiuniang didn’t care about being ashamed, and said hurriedly: “Then let’s go!”

Yu Tang straightened her temples, put on her hat again, and went to Wu Dao Pine with Ma Xiuniang.

There are seven or eight mats under Wudao Matsushita, a few young students are sitting cross-legged and talking, and a dozen servants are beside them, either playing fans, burning incense, or making tea… There are also twos and threes watching the fun. people.

It seems that all the pilgrims of Zhaoming Temple gathered here.

Ma Xiuniang said nervously, “What should we do? Even if we walk past like this, they won’t notice us!”

Yu Tang sneered.

Didn’t Lin say that Li Jun liked her?

Then he must know himself and be deeply impressed.

Ma Xiuniang said vigilantly, “What are you going to do?”

According to what they thought before, as long as they walked over, it was enough to attract Li Jun’s attention.

Yu Tang said: “Sister, you stay here, I just pretend to watch the fun and take a look.”

Ma Xiuniang hesitated: “Is this bad?”

Yu Tang knew that this was risky, so she couldn’t bring Ma Xiuniang in.

She smiled and said, “It’s alright, you can listen to me, there’s nothing wrong with it.” After speaking, before Ma Xiuniang could react, she told the magpie, “You are optimistic about your eldest lady”, and walked towards Wu Daosong.

Ma Xiuniang wanted to call Yu Tang back, but she didn’t expect Yu Tang to walk like a flight and quickly walked out of the ground. She looked at the people around her and had to swallow her voice.

Although Yu Tang was not tall, but with thin waist and long legs, light footsteps, and graceful appearance, he had not even reached Enlightenment Pine, but all the half-eldest boys in Enlightenment Matsushita who pretended to be famous and elegant noticed all of them and opened their eyes wide. come over.

Enlightenment Panasonic’s noise gradually became smaller.
