Chapter 444 Fragrant Hills
In September, Xiangshan is green and green. From a distance, Ganlu Temple is like wandering in a green wave.
Dou Zhao and others changed into soft sedan chairs at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, extended the spacious bluestone steps toward Ganlu Temple.
Jiang Yan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and breathed a little cold air greedily, feeling that he was alive.
She heard Ruotong next to the sedan chair in front of her smile and said to Ganlu: "Sister, this Zen temple is the same as you. Who did you choose this name? It sounds so nice!"
Ganlu hummed at her and said proudly: "My name is obtained by Aunt Cui. Aunt Cui said, May I be like a drop of water in the clean bottle of Guanyin's hand, besides being pure in my heart, and also moisten others."
Ruotong asked curiously: "Who is Aunt Cui?"
"Yes," Ganlu paused slightly, and then she said, "It's the wife's concubine's grandmother."
Ruotong couldn't help but stick out her tongue and hurriedly said, "Where is Sister Sujuan? What is she?"
"It means the same as me." Ganlu smiled, "Let us stop causing trouble, be as clear as a mirror, don't be fooled by those glory and wealth, and forget what you are."
Ruotong shouted dissatisfiedly and said, "How come we all turned red when we talk about us?"
"Isn't red good?" Ganlu smiled, "Red is the most solemn and generous. You are the wife who serves you in close proximity, and this name is just right."
Dou Zhao in the sedan chair couldn't help laughing as he heard this.
The names of several maids are also her experience.
When she first came to Kyoto, her grandmother was afraid that she would be bullied, and she hoped that all the maids and mothers around her would be loyal to her. When Ganlu reached the age of leaving the mansion, she had already established her foothold in the Duke of England's mansion, and what she wanted was no longer loyalty and obedience, but the demeanor of being the mistress of the house. Later, the little maids who came in were named after the word "fu". The maids and servants were no longer the ones who were lying to her.
What names will she give to the maids in the future?
While thinking, Ganlu Temple arrived.
They got out of the sedan chair, and the presidency and the monk Zhike had already been waiting in front of the mountain gate.
The presidency who had seen the ceremony, who was over 40 years old, avoided them, and the Zhike monk who had passed his life and took them to Ganlu Temple.
The two yellow trees in front of the Main Hall are thick with each other. Although they have been around for a hundred years, they are still lush and as bright as fire.
Jiang Yan and others praised.
Monk Zhike talked about the history of these two trees - how did Ganlu Temple be destroyed by war and how did it be rebuilt, but the two yellow trees remained standing...
The story is tortuous and interesting, and Jiang Yan and others listen to it with relish.
This is what every monk Zhike who has just come to Ganlu Temple will say. Dou Zhao has heard it several times in his previous life. As soon as the monk Zhike spoke, she knew what would happen below, but when she looked at Jiang Yan and others' expressions of amazement and surprise on her face, she was very happy.
They visited Ganlu Temple for a while, and stayed in Ganlu Temple for vegetarian food and lunch break at noon.
Dou Zhao felt a little tired, so he walked around the courtyard for a few times to get rid of the food and rested.
Jiang Yan felt full of energy, so he pulled Jiang Lizhu to the next door to see the turtle and brocade fish.
Although the Miao family has a difficult family, the Miao family's children are still raised in a regular manner. Miao Ansu rarely went out before getting married. Now she has finally come out. She really wants to have a walk with Jiang Yan and the others, but Dou Zhao has stopped. She is also afraid that the servants will think that she is frivolous and underestimated her. After thinking about it, she said goodbye to Jiang Yan with a smile, and returned to the wing room arranged for her.
It was quiet around me, Miao Ansu closed her eyes, but she couldn't sleep.
At this time, your ears become particularly sensitive.
She heard the light footsteps of a maid walking under the corridor in front of her room, and someone whispered "Sister Fuye" and said, "What's wrong with you here?"
At this time, the masters all stopped, and the sound of Fuye was suppressed very low, saying, "Did you bring needles and threads? Sister Ruotong's sleeve was torn just now."
The person who spoke was Miao Ansu's little maid named Liu Hong. He smiled and said, "I'm carrying needles and threads at will, but the second wife has already rested, so I have to ask Sister Fu Ye to wait here for a while."
"It doesn't matter." Fuye was very polite, "I'm here to help you."
Liu Hong said a few words of politeness, tiptoed into the house, and after a while, she took out the sewing bag.
Miao Ansu curled his lips.
It is said that Dou's family has good fortune. When they go out, the maids around them don't even carry a sewing bag. How can they be good fortune? This is really a tiger in the mountains and a monkey dominates the king. If the mother-in-law was still alive, Song Mo would not have been appointed as the prince so early. If the Song family had more brothers, it would not have been the time when Dou's family became king.
This is so rich and natural, and it is impossible to control one's own slightest!
Just like this, she is only in her teens and has not yet comb her hair. Because she is serving Dou Zhao, even if her maid sees her, she will respect her "sister". It makes people feel calm when she thinks about it.
She was thinking a lot.
I brushed the leaves and returned the sewing bag.
Liu Hong smiled and said, "Sister has sewed it so quickly?"
"My hands and feet are fast." Fu Ye smiled and sighed, "You are so careful. When we left the house, we remember to bring a sewing bag, but when we left the house, we forgot about it." She said giggling, "Sister Ganlu taught me a lesson just now, saying that if I am so careless next time, I will transfer me to the front yard to clean the toilet."
Her tone was light, and she obviously did not take Ganlu's words to heart. It can be seen that Dou Zhao was very generous to others.
"Sister has been awarded." Liu Hong was kind to her with some envy, "I have been working in the second wife's house since I was a child, and this is also what our second wife taught well."
Miao Ansu was very pleased to hear it.
Fu Ye nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Mrs. Second wife is a good person at first sight, but unfortunately she married Second Master..." Before she finished speaking, she was shocked to make a mistake and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Unfortunately it's too late.
Liu Hong's face was shocked.
Fuye waved his hand in panic: "I, I said nothing, nothing!"
She turned around and ran away.
Liu Hong was stunned.
Miao Ansu in the house felt like a turbulent heart.
She sat up suddenly and shouted "Liu Hong" loudly, wanting Ji Hong to take a few taels of silver for Liu Hong: "You use this money to buy snacks and so on, and take care of those words in the leaves, and see what the second master has done in the past?"
Liu Hong agreed and took the money.
But this is Ganlu Temple. Even if there is money, who can I ask to buy it at the foot of the mountain?
If you want to brush the leaves, you have to wait to return to the Duke of England's mansion.
Miao Ansu's heart felt like she was caught by a cat, and she couldn't be at peace for a moment.
Jiang Yan and Jiang Lizhu were having fun.
The monk Zhike in the temple saw that they were interested in the things in the release pond, so he sent two little novice monks to serve him, and then brought a few dried steamed buns to feed them, which attracted a group of fish to squeeze on the water in front of them.
The two sat in the pavilion next to the release pond to feed the fish.
Jiang Yan accidentally looked up and saw a familiar figure standing outside the yard gate from a distance.
She was shocked and pointed to the distance and ordered Yinghong: "Go and see what's going on?"
Yinghong left in response. She quickly returned and said, "It's Lord Chen from the Jinyiwei Fushi. I heard that his wife was climbing a mountain here, so I came to ask her for her. Wuyi said that her wife was having lunch break, so Lord Chen decided to wait..."
Jiang Yan was startled and said, "Why is Lord Chen here too?"
Yinghong didn't know, so she ran to ask again, and came back and reported, "Mr. Chen went out of the city to work and passed by Xiangshan."
Jiang Yan's expression was a bit complicated.
Jiang Lizhu stroked her shoulder and said softly: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yan thought for a while, told Jiang Lizhu something, and hesitated: "I want me to help him inquire about my uncle. No, it's Li Liang's news... At least let Li Liang know that I'm living a good life in the Song family."
Jiang Lizhu can understand Jiang Yan's mood very well.
She thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go with you to ask!"
Jiang Yan was overjoyed. He thanked Jiang Lizhu again and again, and repeatedly told her: "Don't tell my sister-in-law, I'm afraid they will be sad."
"Your sister-in-law is not such a stingy person." Jiang Lizhu smiled, "But I see that my cousin is very stingy. Just be careful not to let my cousin know."
Jiang Yan defended his brother: "He was angry that I was bullied and was grateful to others. But if it weren't for Li Liang, I wouldn't know how much suffering I would suffer when I was a child? Just this. I can't resent him."
"It's great for you to do this." Jiang Lizhu smiled, "I always hate it in my heart. I will inevitably not be affected, and gradually I become disgusting."
She thought that some of her sisters felt unpleasant after the change of home, and always complained, but as if they had changed, she would remind herself from time to time.
Jiang Yan finally found someone who would not scold him, and suddenly felt like a close friend was meeting.
When she talked to Chen Jia, Jiang Lizhu stood on the steps not far from them.
Facing the expectation in Jiang Yan's eyes, Chen Jia held back and did not show any strange expression.
Song Mo made Wei Quan, He Hao and He Qingyuan look like he was not a human being, so how could he let Li Liang go?
Li Liang's family is now in a military household and lives in a hundred-household office under Tianjin Wei. If there is no farming, there will be no food. The whole family may not have one-third of the income of Li Liang as a accountant. But the hundred-household households are still ordered to monitor Li Liang's family, and Li Liang will not want to earn a penny through other channels. The schooling of several children has also been interrupted, and Li Liang and others can teach their children to read and write. Others may leave the military office through amnesty, but Li Liang is afraid that Song Mo will retaliate against the military household, who will voluntarily enter, and their descendants will not be able to become good people in the future... Is this good or bad?
Chen Jia looked at Jiang Yan's clear eyes as clear as water, and felt a split headache.
Tell her the truth?
With her temperament, she would just hide in the quilt and cry secretly.
Don't tell her?
If one day she finds out that she has deceived her, she will definitely hold a grudge against her.
Chen Jia regretted coming to pay tribute to Dou Zhao very much.
It was just a greeting that made Mrs. Dou impressed her. She just "meeted" on the road when Mrs. Dou returned to the city. Why did she have to wait for Mrs. Dou to wake up here?
