[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

Yanyu talked with Fairy Zelan all night, and left in the air until almost dawn.

That's why Yanyu got up after a short nap, and Yiyue dressed her up; Yanyu didn't feel tired at all, perhaps because of Fairy Zelan's spiritual energy.

After going to the main room with Daiyu and having breakfast with Jia Min, Jia Min mentioned that he would go to Qingping Temple to fulfill his vow tomorrow.

"Qingping Temple is different from Liangguang Temple in Yangzhou. When the time comes, you must follow me carefully and don't wander around." Jia Min carefully told their sisters; just as Shi Taijun told her to go to Qingping Temple to fulfill her vows This kind of matter, after all, there are many taboos in the capital now, so we have to act cautiously.

Yanyu and Daiyu responded obediently, and Jia Min didn't want to keep them anymore, so she let them go back to study.

Yanyu vaguely felt that Qingping Temple was a little familiar, maybe she had heard of it before, but suddenly she couldn't remember it.

Buddhism is a place of purity, and when you go to a temple to offer incense, you also need to put on a plain onyx skirt.A small sedan chair with a green top has been parked outside Qingping Temple. Every day in Shuo, the wives of officials come to the temple to offer incense and donate money for incense.

Smoke curls up from the front hall of Qingping Temple, shrouded in a mist, as if there is a scene of a fairyland and another world.

The nun led Jia Min and his party into the hall, where they met Mrs. Xu, Grandma Liu of Duke Li's Mansion, who had come to offer incense and was about to return it.

"Aunt Lin's family." Mrs. Xu bowed.

Although Yanyu and Daiyu had heard Yu Ming talk about her second sister Yu Yun marrying into Li Guogong's mansion, two years ago Yu Yun made Zhang Zhang's joy, and their sisters and other girls in the South College School gave some things with a little heart Go to Liu's house.

But this was the first time they saw Xu Yuyun.

Seeing their sisters, Yu Yun smiled and said, "This is Sister Yan and Sister Yu? I remember that when the two sisters were born, I went to drink the full moon wine. I didn't expect to grow so big in the blink of an eye." He took off a pair of jade bracelets on his wrists and gave them as a meeting gift for the sisters.

Jia Min exchanged pleasantries with Yu Ming for a while, and Yu Ming said goodbye and went back.

Master Huijing from Qingping Temple came out and put his palms together when he saw Jia Min: "Benefactor, Amitabha."

"Master Huijing!" Jia Min also said, "I was taught by Master in the early years, and my heart has a clear understanding. Now that I return to the capital, I will come to fulfill my wish."

"This is the opportunity of the benefactor." Master Huijing just said, took them into the front hall, and personally lit incense for Jia Min.

Yanyu and Daiyu followed Jia Min and knelt on the futon and kowtowed, Jia Min and Master Huijing went to donate incense money, and Master Huijing led Jia Min to the nunnery to drink tea; seeing their sisters following Jia Min, Master Huijing asked Jia Min: "Can I let Xiaoni take the two girls to the nunnery to rest?"

Jia Min looked back at them, obviously hesitant: "They are young, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay, and if they go out and run afoul of nobles, it would be a serious crime."

Master Huijing smiled kindly: "The nobleman's courtyard is behind the temple, and there are usually officers and soldiers guarding it, so it's okay."

Hearing them mention the nobleman, Yanyu suddenly remembered that Mu Yun had also told her before that the eighth daughter, Princess Xinning, was ordered by the emperor to lead her to practice in Qingping Temple; the nobleman they mentioned now is this Princess Xinning?

She listened quietly to Jia Min and Master Huijing's conversation as before, and saw Jia Min frown slightly, and Master Huijing called the nuns to come and take their sisters to the back nunnery to rest.

"Sister, Second Sister Xu and Sister Ming don't look alike." Daiyu took Yanyu's hand and talked to her.

Yanyu just came back to her senses, and smiled lightly: "Second sister Xu is the daughter of the second cousin, not sister Ming's direct sister."

Apparently Daiyu didn't pay much attention to the Xu family's affairs, she nodded after hearing Yanyu's words, and didn't ask any more questions.

There is a wide kang couch in the nunnery, and Ping Xunying is also for pilgrims to take a rest; Daiyu is a little tired, so she lies on the kang couch and sleeps soundly with her eyes closed.

The faint sandalwood fragrance permeated the nunnery, but Yanyu didn't feel sleepy, she just sat under the window thinking in a daze.

The nun came in and served two cups of tea, Yanyu was not interested either, but just vaguely heard the faint sound of flute coming from nowhere.

"Master, did you hear the flute?" Yanyu asked the nun.

The nun shook her head blankly: "Little benefactor, the poor nun didn't hear it. Besides, how can there be such a secular voice in this Buddhist temple?"

Yanyu was silent.

Her hearing is more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and she can hear more distant sounds clearly.Since the nun couldn't hear the sound of the flute, presumably it came from outside the temple, the only sounds in the temple were the long bell and the wooden fish.

The sound of the flute was called "Folding Willow", and she had listened to Xue Luo play it when she was in the South Campus Academy.

Who is this person playing "Folding Willows" outside Qingping Temple?

Yanyu was surprised, took a sip from her teacup, put it down abruptly, got up and went out of the nunnery, and asked the nun, "Where is the cleansing room? I want to go to the cleansing room."

The nun said she was going to take Yanyu there, and Yanyu looked back at the nunnery worriedly, with a hesitant expression: "My sister just fell asleep, I'm afraid..." After a pause, she continued, "I just went and made it myself."

The nun thought for a while, and then told Yanyu that the clean room is at the bell tower in the apse.

Yanyu walked down the corridor towards the bell tower, the bell sounded brighter, accompanied by the clearer "Folding Willow", as if it came from another world.

By accident, I saw Xue Luo; she wore white silk flowers in her hair, and she was dressed in moon-white plain clothes, which was a filial piety.The one who played the flute was the boy sitting across from her, he was persistently blowing out every tone on the flute seriously, it was exactly the "Folding Willows" that Yanyu heard just now.

It happened that Xue Luo raised his eyes and met Yan Yu's eyes, and Yan Yu clearly saw the shock in her eyes.

She just stood up, and the boy put down his bamboo flute when he heard the movement, and looked over here.

"Sister Luo." Yanyu was stunned for a moment, then said.

"Sister Yan." Xue Luo's cold face remained the same as before, as if the little warmth she had in the South Campus had been condensed into indifference by the wind in the north; she looked down at the boy beside her, "This is me. Nephew, Xue Bing."

Yanyu knew it.Mu Yun also told her that Xue Song and Princess Heqing's son Xue Bing, both of his parents died when he was young, grew up in Qingping Temple with his aunt Xinning Princess, but he had little contact with Xue's family.

"We should go back." Xue Luo whispered to Xue Bing, Xue Bing nodded obediently, and then she said to Yan Yu, "Sister Yan, I can't stay for a long time, so I'll go back first."

Yanyu responded with a smile: "Sister Luo, go slowly."

Xue Luo led Xue Bing to the depths of the forest, and vaguely saw the temple courtyard hidden into the forest sea, and the clear and clear sound of wooden fish was still ringing in the silence, long and long.

Going further ahead is the temple behind Qingping Temple, which should be the place where the nobleman mentioned by Master Huijing and Jia Min lived.

She walked back along the way she came, and when she returned to the nunnery, she saw that the nun that Master Huijing had ordered to come and take care of their sisters was still there, so she stepped forward and thanked the nun with a smile: "Thank you, Master, for your trouble."

The nun looked terrified: "The little benefactor is too serious."

Yanyu entered the nunnery, and saw that Daiyu must have just woken up, sitting on the kang and arranging her clothes; when she heard Yanyu push the door in, she raised her head and asked with a smile, "Where did sister go?" It's a bit coquettish, and she smiles pretty.

"I just went to clean the room." Yanyu turned her head to avoid Daiyu's gaze, and said softly.

"I slept for a while just now, and there always seemed to be a beautiful fairy talking to me in my dream, but I couldn't hear what she was saying clearly." Daiyu pulled Yanyu and whispered to her, as if for This is very disturbing.

Yanyu was stunned, but she returned to her usual expression in an instant: "Xu heard the sound of wooden fish in the temple, and fell into a dream."

Daiyu was next to Yanyu, talking to her sister in a low voice: "Sister, do you really think there are gods in this world?"

Yanyu frowned, showing a bit of cunning: "Maybe." Immortals and mortals are irrelevant. Immortals have their own affairs, and even immortals with boundless mana have to be restricted by the law of heaven, otherwise the world will be in trouble. What a mess.

Fortunately, Daiyu only asked the question on a whim, and she didn't get entangled in it anymore.

Just in time, Nanny Liu came over and said that his wife had finished talking with Master Huijing, and she was taking their sisters there, so she should be planning to go back.

Outside the gate of the front hall, I saw Jia Min and Master Huijing coming out of the meditation room while talking, but Jia Min's expression was more dignified than when he came.

Yanyu looked very strange. Originally, she came to the temple to listen to scriptures and lectures to seek peace of mind. Why did her mother look even more depressed after seeing Master Huijing?This Qingping Temple is even more strange; why did Princess Xinning come here to lead her practice?According to the identity of the princess, she should practice in a royal temple; there must be some reasons unknown to others.

Master Huijing sent them all the way to the gate of the temple, and then he clasped his hands together and said, "The poor nun hopes that the wish of the benefactor will come true, and you will be in good health every year."

Jia Min thanked her and got into the carriage.

After returning home, Jia Min took out a few peace talismans and put them on for the siblings, saying that the peace talismans obtained from Qingping Temple and enshrined in front of the Buddha could protect their siblings in good health.

"In a few days, you are going to stay at your grandmother's house, but remember to wear this peace talisman on your body properly." Jia Min specially instructed Yanyu Daiyu, carefully caressing the pattern on the peace talisman, Then I continued, "If grandma asks about this peace talisman, tell her that she got it from Qingping Temple, and Master Huijing of Qingping Temple gave it to mother herself. Do you know?"

Although they didn't understand why Jia Min made such a special request, the sisters also nodded their heads: "Mother, don't worry, we will make a note of it."

Only then did Jia Min show off her face. She was talking to their sisters, but her voice was so soft that she seemed to be talking to herself: "Your grandmother loves you very much. It's just that this journey is not safe. Let your grandmother see that you are safe." Fu, she will be relieved."

Daiyu complied obediently, but Yanyu nodded a little too late.

She vaguely felt that although Jia Min was talking about her grandmother worrying about their sisters, she seemed to be talking about other things, and it was impossible to tell the reason because they were mixed with each other.

There must be something that made my mother like this!Yanyu thought secretly in her heart.
