"Let's go to the temple to rest. The market will be held for two days, and these vendors will come every other day to grab a spot." Wu said, "We will stay in the temple for one night, and then go shopping after watching the ceremony, or go shopping tomorrow. , it’s all too late.”

"Just follow your mother's wishes."

Qiao Zhenzhen thought about taking a nap in the afternoon before going shopping.

After resting for a long time, the girls regained their strength and walked across the square and up the stairs.

The gate of Baoguo Temple is tall and wide.

The red walls and green tiles inside are brilliant and solemn.

Today is Buddha Bathing Day, the door is open.

When entering, there were several novice monks handing out things. Everyone, including the maid nurse, received a small piece of bamboo with a number engraved on it.

Or Arabic numerals.

Qiao Zhenzhen was not surprised at all.

"Put the number plate this year. You accidentally lost it last year, and you don't know if you were qualified to enter the temple to listen to the scriptures." Mrs. Wu asked her, "You have to return it when you leave."

Qiao Zhenzhen had heard from Wu before that only those who had drawn a number could enter the Prajna Hall to listen to the Zen master's sermons.

It's like a lottery, quite fun.

However, in her entire life, she has won at most five dollars and has never won a grand prize.

There must be a lot of tourists today, so I guess there is no hope.

The important thing is to participate.

Qiao Zhenzhen put the number plate into the inner pocket of her big-sleeved shirt.

"Don't worry, mother, I will keep it well this time."

Zhike Monk led them to the temple.

Baoguo Temple is very large. After passing several main halls, you come to a courtyard to the east.

The entire area is divided into courtyards, some large and some small, and there are dozens of houses connected together.

It seems to be specially prepared for overnight pilgrims.

After all, Baoguo Temple is located in a remote place, so it is not very convenient to come and go.

Moreover, the temple often houses students who come to Beijing to take exams.

The yard arranged for the Mo family is relatively large.

This is a standard courtyard house with three main rooms, two wing rooms, and east and west wing rooms. It is enough to accommodate more than 40 people in their party.

There is even a small kitchen in the courtyard. There is a water tank in the kitchen so you can boil water for drinking.

The monk Zhike took them to the courtyard, said goodbye, and left to greet the guests behind.

Mr. Wu divided the rooms first.

She, Aunt Xin, and the four maids she brought with her lived in the oldest room in the middle.

Qiao Zhenzhen, Sun’s mother, and Xia Xiang Dongxiang lived in the east room.

Hu Yujiao and Yingge live in the west room.

The wing rooms on the east and west sides were all allocated to the guards.

Wu said to the leading middle-aged man: "Ninety percent, you can allocate a room yourself."

Song Jiuzheng took the order to arrange housing for the nursing home and patrol night duty.

Hu Yujiao always wanted to show that she was injured, but everyone was busy with their own things at the moment, and no one had time to talk to her.

She was not interested, so she stopped thinking.

Directing the two guards to carry her luggage into her house.

She only had one maid, Yingge, and the Wu family had two second-class maids assigned to her. She was not polite and directed Luyu and Pearl to return to the west house together to tidy up the house for her.

Qiao Zhenzhen entered the room. She couldn't say how tired she was, but she was quite tired. Just as she was about to lie down on the bed, Sun's mother stopped her and said, "Girl, please sit next to me first."

At the same time, he directed Dongxiang and Xiaxiang to take out some items from the gifts they brought, put the bedding on the original bed and put it into the cabinet, and then put it on the bed they brought from home.

Qiao Zhenzhen sat at the table and watched them busy, feeling a little thirsty.

But she didn't drink the tea prepared on the table.

He took the water bottle he brought and took a sip.

After a while, Amber came over and sent a message, saying that water had been boiled in the small kitchen and would be available to drink in a while. In addition, Su Zhai would have to wait until the Buddha Bathing Ceremony was over.

Ten Thousand hovered at her feet, "Let's go out for a walk."

"Everyone is busy right now. It's not appropriate for us to go out. Let's take a walk in the yard."

Ten thousand agree.

Qiao Zhenzhen then said to Sun's mother: "I'll take a walk in the yard."

Mother Sun said: "Girl, please don't go out of the yard yet. The Buddhist meeting will begin in a while."

"I know." With that said, Qiao Zhenzhen took Ten Thousand out of the room.

The courtyard is square and square, and there is no scenery at all. It is just Qiao Zhenzhen's imagination of an ordinary Zen courtyard.

Floor-to-ceiling, simple.

There is a sycamore tree in the yard that is three times as thick as her waist. Its leaves are lush and green.

There is a stone table and four stone benches under the tree.

Drinking tea and playing chess here is a good choice.

Looking at the guards coming and going in the left and right rooms, Qiao Zhenzhen and Ten Wan sighed, "It feels like I haven't seen so many men at once for a long time."

In fact, in reality, after leaving school and work, she didn't have many opportunities to meet so many men at one time.

But I can’t stand the variety shows and it’s fun to watch the talent show.

Ten Wan jumped onto the stone table, squatted down, and waggled his tail.

"Would you feel bored?"

Qiao Zhenzhen understood that what Ten Wan asked was that everyone was bored in this dynasty, not today.

She thought about it seriously and said, "It's not bad. The learning task is heavy. As long as one devotes himself to studying, there is nothing boring anymore."

“The main reason is that we don’t have mobile phones and tablets. Otherwise, life today would not be more exciting than in the past.”

No, in the world of novels, there are always conflicts and coincidences of one kind or another.

In comparison, the real world is simply not enough.

But Qiao Zhenzhen is a very adaptable person.

Since nothing can be changed, just complaining is not the way to solve the problem.

Anyway, if I can’t go back for the time being, I might as well live every day well.

Although it is said that happiness is also a day, and sadness is also a day. Why not live every day happily? It sounds silly, but in many cases, it is indeed the case.

"If you were cheating on this modern urban novel, we would be able to play with it on mobile phones right now."

10,000 deep regrets.

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled and said, "You're right, it's such a pity."

While they were talking, there was a lot of people outside the courtyard gate.

"Fortunately we arrived early, otherwise we would have run into the large army."

Ten Thousand said: "Some people entered the temple yesterday."

"That's right. Rather than getting up so early today, it would be better to come here slowly yesterday."

"That way I have to stay in the temple for two days."

The lecture was arranged in the afternoon, and it was unsafe to travel at night, so families like them who lived far away would usually spend a whole day in the temple.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if we stay for a few more days." Qiao Zhenzhen said, then she thought about it and added, "But people in ancient times may not have thought that way. They were all women, so they were afraid it wouldn't be safe."

"Didn't you say before that you should check it out first? Have you stepped on the points of Baoguo Temple?"

"I went to the wrong temple in the first place."

Ten Wan wanted to complain to Qiao Zhenzhen a few days ago, but seeing her studying day and night, he didn't bother her.

Jin'er said it out loud in one breath, "Who knew Baoguo Temple was so far away? As soon as I started to leave the city and ran some distance, I saw a big temple with many people coming in and out. I went in without looking at the name. I walked around for a while. When I came out, I realized that I had gone to the wrong place. It was Guanghua Temple, not Baoguo Temple."

“That big temple doesn’t require climbing?”

"No need, and it's only half the distance from here."

"No wonder I feel like there aren't so many carriages along the way."

It had something to do with them leaving early, and it also had something to do with the personnel being diverted.

"Maybe we should persuade some people to retreat if they want to climb the mountain. Just now I saw that Hu Yujiao looked like she was about to faint."

Ten thousand mocking faces.

Qiao Zhenzhen laughed, "It's possible. After all, women from powerful families, except for generals, probably don't have much physical strength."

"But there is an old Zen Master Mingtong in Baoguo Temple who is very famous. Many people come here for him."

"Would you like to hear him preach?"

"Yes, this is the thirteenth year."

"It's quite interesting. You have to draw a number to listen. It all depends on fate."

Ten Wan shook his head and said: "Perhaps everyone thinks that after drawing it, they will have good luck in the year."
