Ci'en Temple is located outside Anding Gate in the north of the city. It is a thousand-year-old temple. It was built by imperial decree at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty and was renamed Ci'en Temple to serve the country. In addition to the main hall, Dharma hall and many other halls common to ordinary temples, there is a sutra collection hall in the southwest, called "Lunzhuan Zang", which is a wooden sutra pavilion with a clever mechanism that can be rotated by human power and contains a vast collection of sutras. , if you turn around once, it means that you have read all the Buddhist scriptures inside, which also means the completion of reincarnation.
Because of the existence of the Lunzhuan Sutra Pavilion, countless inscriptions and calligraphy by literati and poets have been left on the mountain walls of Ci'en Temple throughout the dynasties, and monks have traveled thousands of miles to practice here. However, it is said that for hundreds of years, countless monks have devoted themselves to practicing Reading, throughout my life, I have never heard of anyone who can complete the cycle of Tibetan Buddhism.
When Jiafu arrived at Ci'en Temple, it was noon and there were only a few pilgrims in the temple. However, she had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw that the carriage of the Duke's Mansion was indeed parked there. She knew that the person she wanted to see was indeed in the temple at this moment, so she entered After arriving at the mountain gate, he went straight to the main hall to burn incense and worship Buddha, and distributed fragrant oil. After finishing, he came out and asked a monk who knew the guest whereabouts of the pilgrims in the Duke's Mansion.
More than 20 years ago, Empress Tianxi and Yuan Dynasty were infected with the epidemic. Because the epidemic was raging at that time, in order to prevent it from spreading in the harem, she was sent to Ci'en Temple for isolation and rest. After the Yuan Dynasty, her illness lingered for more than a year, but she never showed any improvement. It got worse and worse, and she unfortunately passed away in the Hou Temple. At that time, Mrs. Pei often went in and out of the mountain gate, so the monks in the temple were very familiar with her.
The monk who knew the guest didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but seeing that Jiafu was generous with her joy, he said: "The old lady has gone to the back monastery to rest. The female donor is not allowed to come near."
¡¡
Mrs. Pei finished burning incense and ate some fast food. After all, she was old and seemed to be tired, so Pei Youan sent her to the Zen room to rest for a while.
When Empress Pei Yuan passed away, Emperor Tianxi sealed off the monastery where she had recuperated and lived, and only the mother of Empress Yuan, Mrs. Pei, was allowed to enter and exit. Although more than twenty years have passed in the meantime, the emperor who has successfully ascended the throne as King Shun'an is not happy with the Pei family, but he will not openly disobey the orders of the late emperor and eldest brother, so this is The quiet Sihe Zen Temple is still used exclusively by the Duke's Palace. The door is locked on weekdays. If the old lady is coming and the temple is notified in advance, it will be unlocked and cleaned to prepare for the reception.
Pei Youan knew that his grandmother had always missed his aunt who unfortunately died early more than 20 years ago. When he saw her standing on the threshold, he stopped and looked around.
Although the news was sent in advance yesterday and the place has been cleaned and tidied up, it is still early winter. The yellow leaves in the Zen courtyard are rustling and the pomegranates are wilting. I am afraid that she will be moved by the scene, so I stretched out my hand to help her: "Grandma, please go in, it's windy. "
When Mrs. Pei entered, Yuzhu and the two girls who were accompanying her were about to serve her. They saw that the uncle had already stepped forward and took off the old lady's coat with his own hands. Then he squatted down, took off her shoes and placed them neatly on the ground.
The girl was a little surprised. When Yuzhu saw this, he winked at the two of them and retreated together.
Mrs. Pei sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at her grandson.
Pei You'an put the old lady's stockinged feet into his palms and massaged them slowly. After a while, they felt slightly warm to the touch. Fang helped her lie down slowly, raised her feet, put them under the quilt, and said, "Grandma, rest. "
Mrs. Pei closed her eyes, and Pei You sat beside her, quietly accompanying her. When she fell asleep, she gently tucked the corners of her quilt, stood up, came to the window, stood there for a moment, and then walked out.
¡¡
"Is the old lady of the country also in the temple?"
Zhen Yaoting immediately thought of the girl he saw yesterday. Although it is not the most beautiful beauty I have ever seen, for some reason, after just one glance, it caught my eye, and I couldn't forget it. I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, and encouraged Jiafu: "Go quickly, and ask someone to inform you. It happened to be here. If you meet someone, it would be rude not to pay your respects."
" Jiafu knew that the old lady had the habit of taking a nap, so how could she listen to her brother? Besides, the person she wanted to see when she came here was not Mrs. Pei at all.
She stood there, thought for a moment, then turned to Zhen Yaoting and said, "Then I'll go over and have a look. Brother, just wait here in the front hall. Don't run around."
Zhen Yaoting agreed, and added with a smile: "If you meet her, don't forget to mention me, so that I can also pay homage to her!"
Jiafu nodded randomly, took the sandalwood, walked through the hall, and headed southwest.
At this time, naturally no morning bells or evening drums could be heard. Only when passing a few low gables, a few chants of Sanskrit accompanied by wooden fish could be faintly heard from the opposite wall, making the surroundings more peaceful.
The corridor under your feet is paved with white pebbles. Over time, they have been trampled and gradually turned into a dark color, with moss growing in the gaps. There are ginkgo trees on both sides of the corridor, and at the end is a thousand-year-old tree. The trunk reaches straight into the sky, and the branches curl over the palace.The cakes were almost finished, so I asked someone to get new ones. I was in such a hurry, maybe someone in the warehouse made a mistake, I really don¡¯t know! "
She suddenly opened her eyes wide with a look of horror: "Could it be thateldest cousin, do you think I intend to harm Brother Quan?"
She looked at Pei You'an who seemed noncommittal, tears slowly flashed in her eyes, and her voice gradually revealed a cry of grievance.
"I came to the Duke's Mansion several times when I was a child, but Brother Quan hadn't been born yet. In the past few years, I have been keeping filial piety for my father in Quanzhou. Even if I knew that frozen borneol was not good, how could I know that Quan Brother can¡¯t touch?¡±
She lowered her head and stopped talking. She bit her lip tightly with her teeth, and the pitiful lips she bit turned pale white, as if she was trying her best to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. A drop of crystal tear finally burst out. , and fell to the ground in front of her feet with a "snap".
She hurriedly turned her face to the side and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes randomly.
When she spoke just now, Pei Youan had been watching her with a cold expression, as if he was considering the truth of her words. He gradually turned his gaze away, not looking at her weeping look, and just said: "I guess you must have done it unintentionally. Stop crying."
The voice is mediocre. But it sounds like he believes it and is comforting her.
It¡¯s not difficult for Jiafu to cry whenever she wants. Thinking of his departed father and the last moments of his previous life makes his eyes sore.
Originally it was just to show him how to cry. But after listening to him comforting me, I somehow lost control of my emotions for a moment. I felt extremely wronged in my heart. I lowered my head silently, and tears kept falling down.
Pei You'an's face, which had always been expressionless, began to show an uneasy look. He glanced at her several times, squeezed his palms, and then released them. After hesitating for a moment, he finally walked over, stopped in front of the threshold, and lowered his head slightly towards her. He whispered: "Don't cry. I believe you. Otherwise, why would I ask Yuzhu to send a message to remind you on my behalf."
"Think about it."
After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, as if to coax her.
He leaned forward slightly, getting a little close, and Jiafu seemed to feel the warmth from his body, like the golden warmth of the winter sun in the caisson.
She hurriedly turned her back, lowered her head to wipe the tears on her face, waited until her emotions stabilized, then turned back and whispered: "Thank you, cousin, for trusting me."
Pei You'an had taken a few steps back, and his expression had returned to its previous calmness. He glanced at her tear-stained face, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have also heard rumors about this matter in the past two days. Please tell me. I'm afraid that the conflict with Brother Quan's fate may be detrimental to your marriage proposal. Since this matter has nothing to do with you, I can help you explain the cause of Brother Quan's illness. If you don't want people to know that it was caused by your misuse of spices, I don¡¯t need to mention you either. After dispelling my mother¡¯s concerns, you and my second brother can successfully discuss marriage.¡±
Kafu slowly shook his head.
Pei Youan was startled: "What's wrong? You don't want to clarify the misunderstanding?"
Jiafu secretly clenched her fists and said: "Eldest cousin, it is my blessing that your family is willing to accept someone with my background. But to tell you the truth, this trip to Beijing to discuss marriage is not because of me. My heart is my own. My grandmother is in charge of the house, and I really can't disobey it, so I have no choice but to obey the arrangement. I originally thought that this would be the end of my life. But I didn't expect that due to a strange combination of circumstances, in the past two days, due to Because of Brother Quan's illness, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song are dissatisfied with me, so the marriage proposal has to be put on hold"
She paused, raised her eyes, and met his gaze.
"Can I be bold and ask you, my eldest cousin, to be so noble as to pretend that you don't know about this?"
Pei You'an frowned slightly: "Do you really think so? You would rather bear the brunt of the crime than marry into the Duke's palace?"
"Yes." Jia Fu nodded, "The Duke's family is so noble that I cannot reach it. Brother Quan fell ill because of my misuse of incense, which made Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song dissatisfied with me. It's like destiny. Opportunity. I ask my eldest cousin to help me too. Whether you marry or not in the end is fate, I accept it."
Pei Youan looked at her and suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't catch it. Suppressing the weird feeling in my heart, I finally nodded: "Since you think so, of course I can do anything. It's just¡ª¡ª"
His tone suddenly became stern.
"You didn't know before and it was an unintentional mistake, so I don't blame you. Now that I know that freezing borneol is harmful to Brother Quan, even if you regard the Duke's Mansion as a scourge again, as long as Brother Quan is around, I will not allow you to do it again. Use this incense to harm him."
Jiafu quietly raised her eyes and saw him staring at her, frowning slightly with a stern look on her face. She didn't dare to respond. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "You don't need to tell me, cousin, I know it myself."
Pei Youan lifted up his clothes, stepped out of the hall threshold, and walked past her.
Jia Fu stood for a moment, turned around and saw the figure getting farther and farther away, gradually disappearing at the end of the ginkgo road.
