Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and regardless of her long hair that was still loose, "Show it to me."

Fortunately, Xueyuan loosened her hands quickly, otherwise she would be dragged by her hair.

It is rare for everyone to see her in a hurry, so she still reads the letter first with her clouded shoulders.

Lin Ruhai's letter was delivered by the official post after a few days after Yu Yu and others went to Beijing. After a few days of contemplation, he decided to write this letter.

At the beginning, it was just an ordinary greeting letter. Although it was not a greeting, it was still a voice of concern. In the end, I expressed my apology vaguely.

Lin Daiyu was brought up by him as a boy since he was a child. It is false to say that father and daughter are not close, but after her younger brother and mother passed away one after another and she was bedridden many times, both father and daughter were immersed in their own grief. Lin Daiyu gradually grew up again. There is little intimacy like before.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing after reading the letter, a small dimple formed at the corner of her mouth, "Hurry up and get dressed, I'm going to write a reply to my father."

The mood is also much more cheerful because of it.

This day Ming Yilan took her to the temple to offer incense.

The frame of the princess mansion looks plain on the outside, but inside it is comfortably and richly furnished, and there are many guards escorting it.

"It's better to live at home, and my face looks much ruddy." Ming Yilan said, took out a palm-sized box from the small cabinet in the car and handed it to Lin Daiyu, "See if you like it."

Open it, and inside are two extremely exquisite pendants, the style of which Lin Daiyu has never seen before. The oval egg-shaped pendant is burnt with blue patterns, one is inlaid with sparkling tiny diamonds, and the other is Inlaid with a very large round pearl.

The little girl naturally liked such delicate gadgets, and immediately smiled, "Thank you Princess, it doesn't look like our craftsmanship."

Ming Yilan said, "This is the enamel pendant from Frangji. The gold buckles are all the same color, but they are burnt into bright colors such as red, green and blue. I specially picked the blue one for you to make a buckle bracelet. Everything is suitable."

Lin Daiyu said, "Then let's hang it on your hands with a thin chain. It won't look good if you hang it on a wreath."

"As you like." Ming Yilan briefly flipped through the scriptures that Lin Daiyu was going to bring to the temple to enshrine, "I copied so many."

"I stay at home all day long, and I don't have filial piety, so I copy the scriptures and pray for my mother. I just hope that the Bodhisattva will read me sincerely and let my mother practice in the afterlife." Some comfort.

What they were going to was a royal temple, called Miaoying Temple, which was built under the order of the founding emperor.

According to historical records, "the emperor ruled the four directions, and each shot an arrow, thinking that the boundary was reached."

The strange thing is that although there are four arrows, the range of the arrows is the same.

Miaoying Temple is not worshiped by ordinary people, so there is no need to close the gate.When we arrived at the temple, the abbot personally greeted him at the door.

"Master Jingkong, don't come here without any problems." Ming Yilan's face was full of joy to see an old friend.

Host Jingkong folded his hands together and said a word of Buddha, "After a long time, please come from the princess."

Ming Yilan led Lin Daiyu and said as she walked, "This time I came here specially to do something for Mrs. Lin. For some reason, I keep dreaming about her recently."

"I think this is Ms. Lin." Host Jing Kong's eyes fell on Lin Daiyu, "Miss is a very blessed person."

Ming Yilan said happily, "Jing Kong will host a sentence today, and this child will not have to worry about it in the future."

"Fate will also change. You should do more good deeds and accumulate more blessings." Master Jing Kong took off the beads on his wrist, "This is a gift for Miss Lin."

Seeing Ming Yilan nodding her head, Lin Daiyu accepted it gracefully, thanking her with blessings.

Ming Yilan said, "This Buddhist bead has been nurtured by the presiding Buddha for many years. No matter how many noble ladies come and go, I have never seen the presiding officer give it to me. Today it is very generous."

"In the past, if you didn't give it, you didn't have a chance, but if you give it today, you have a destiny." Host Jing Kong smiled.

Everyone was about to step into the temple when suddenly there was a commotion behind them.

Ming Yilan heard yelling and crying in the noise, and the crying was so heartbreaking that people couldn't feel the sadness overflowing from the heart, so she said, "Go and see, what's the matter? You must cry so badly. It's extremely embarrassing."

Host Jing Kong also stopped in his tracks, but said, "On weekdays, some families send their female relatives to clean up, and most of them are crying like this."

Some are widows, and some are not women. Not to mention the daughters-in-law, there used to be two concubines, and when they went from the Lingluo pile to the monastery to practice penance, they would naturally cry.

Ming Yilan said, "I'm the most accurate judge of people. If the host wants to gamble with me, this woman must be wronged."

"Princess, the poor nun is a monk." Host Jing Kong's calm face was a little helpless, "If there is really a grievance, the princess can be regarded as a good deed every day."

After receiving the order, the lady of the princess' mansion immediately pulled the dragged woman away from the servant woman who followed the carriage, and brought them together to the small courtyard for guests.

Miaoying Temple is surrounded by cloisters, adjacent to the monks' houses, and also has lush ancient cypresses and fragrant flowers and plants, which has a sense of winding paths leading to secluded places.

The host Jing Kong welcomed them into the temple and didn't ask any more questions, only asked them to serve tea and left.

The woman was wearing a green coarse cloth jacket, she didn't look like a wealthy person at all, the previous servant woman was still shouting, but she heard that it was Princess Boping, she immediately turned into a quail, and dared not say any more.

Ming Yilan looked at the steaming tea and asked the woman, "I'm not afraid that Madam will be angry. Most of the people who come to the Miaoying Temple to clean up are official family members. It doesn't look like Madam, but what's the secret?"

The woman's eyes were red from crying, but she stopped crying when she stood in front of Ming Yilan, and she was blessed politely, "The princess is right, there is indeed a secret."

"Sit down, Madam, let's have a sip of tea." Seeing her calm down, Ming Yilan couldn't help giving her a high look.

The woman thanked her for her seat, and respectfully sat on half of the chair, somewhat restrained, but she was obviously very thirsty, so she drank the whole cup of tea while holding back the heat.

Lin Daiyu hurriedly said to Xueque next to her, "Pour some more tea for this person, don't let it be too hot. Ask the little master if there is something cooler."

The woman pursed her lips and waved her hands again and again, "It's okay, I can drink whatever I want."

Xueque went away for a while, and came back with a pot of warm tea in his hand, "Madam, drink this, it's the best way to quench your thirst."

The woman blushed and thanked again, and drank a full pot of water, only then did she feel that her thirst had been quenched.

She was afraid that this pink and jade-carved young lady would dislike her for being vulgar, but she never thought that Lin Daiyu could only feel pity, and said in a soft voice, "Madam just said that there is something hidden, you might as well say it, maybe the Princess can make decisions for Madam."

The woman just shook her head, "Women are vulgar, and they know what is good and bad. Although the princess is rich, he can't control his subjects. Today, the princess spared me from being humiliated. I will recite scriptures and pray for you two more."

"If the courtiers lose their integrity, the common people will take care of it, Madam may as well just say it." Ming Yilan said, "If there is something my Princess Boping can do, I will definitely not refuse."

When the woman heard the words Princess Boping, she seemed to have been greatly frightened, she shook her head and said, "The lady is leaving, so I won't bother the princess anymore."

Qia Qiuxin came in after asking outside, Fuerbao and Ming Yilan knew, "This is the family of General Fenwei."

"General Fenwei Zheng Chang?"

Coincidentally, Ming Yilan recognized this General Fenwei. This man was originally a member of her husband Yan Jingshan's command. Over the years, with his military achievements and seniority, he was awarded the third-class General Fenwei. He married Duke Xiu. A concubine of the family.

The woman was even more flustered when she heard Zheng Chang's name, and got up to leave.

Ming Yilan asked someone to stop her, and asked, "General Zheng is a subordinate of my late husband, isn't Madam afraid that I will protect him?"

In the woman's heart, the officials and officials were secretly protecting each other, so they kept silent.

Ming Yilan said with a smile, "Ma'am, you don't have to be like this. I'm a widow, but I've only heard of this name a little. When my husband was here, it was the most important thing to restrain my subordinates."

"I'm afraid that Yan Shuai is still alive, and he won't be able to recognize this animal with a human face and a beast's heart. After the princess has asked many times, the woman will tell you the whole story, and I hope the princess will give the woman justice." The woman turned around. She kowtowed to Ming Yilan, refused to let the maid help her, and insisted on kneeling to finish speaking.

Lin Daiyu was standing by Ming Yilan's side, but when she saw this, she hurried to avoid it.

The woman raised her head with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Minister women's maiden name is Shen, and they used to be called Zheng Shen's family. The original maiden's family also had a little bit of money. Zheng Chang is my cousin, and the family is poor. People in the countryside don't talk about it." Etiquette, once came and went, friendship was born, regardless of parents' objection, insisted on marrying Zheng Chang."

Xueque felt that Lin Daiyu was still young, and it was not good to hear this, so she wanted to let Lin Daiyu go out quietly.

However, Nanny Li felt that being the mistress was not only in charge of daily chores such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, it would be good to stay and see how the princess handled things, so she pulled Lin Daiyu and signaled her to stay.

Mrs. Shen is still saying, "My parents cherished me so they bought me a dowry to marry me. Unexpectedly, more than a month later, Zheng Chang said that he would join the army. I sold most of the dowry and asked him to pay for it. He said at the time that I would give I earned a phoenix crown and Xiapei. Later, my natal parents died, and my brother and sister-in-law disliked me, so they cut off contact. For ten years, I supported his parents for him, and the rest of the dowry would have been spent. When I saw him, I was still kept in the dark. I immediately packed my luggage and came to the capital. Unexpectedly, he had already married the lady of the Duke's mansion. The lady of the Duke said she was willing to let me be an ordinary wife and let me enter the mansion. They sent someone to pick up his parents. I thought it was a family reunion, but it turned out to be someone else's family reunion. For some reason, gossip about me and others that I didn't understand in the past ten years spread in the house, and even his parents They all doubted their belief. In the end, I came to this end. Miss Guogong said, spare my life, and only repent in front of the Bodhisattva. I have guarded this beast for ten years, haha, I only deserve this end."

Shen shi laughed out loud, as if in a state of madness.

Ming Yilan listened quietly, and said for a long while, "You are better off than Wang Baochuan, and you haven't been molested by your husband."

"Wang Baochuan became the empress of Shilaozi every 18 years and [-] days. Every few days, Miss Guogong asked the little opera singer at home to sing "The Story of the Cold Kiln" to me. She only said it was to let me enjoy happiness, but it was actually a reminder to die." Shi gritted his teeth, "It's better to die, I changed for more than [-] days at least."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was shocked and angry, Ming Yilan beckoned her over, hugged her in her arms, and asked Shen, "It's a serious crime to stop a wife and remarry, but it's also a serious crime for a wife to sue her husband. What do you want, madam?"
