   Chapter 46 The Great Buddha Temple

  The Great Buddha Temple is located in Luoxia Mountain at the end of Xicheng.

  Luoxia Mountain is full of maple trees. Every autumn, the maple leaves look like a rosy glow and the view is endless, hence the name of Luoxia Mountain.

  The Great Buddha Temple was awakened by the long bell in the morning light, ready to welcome the pilgrims who are about to flock.

  The good men and women who came today are the most honorable people in the capital.

  On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the Great Buddha Temple will only receive officials and nobles from the clan, and then there will be a temple fair for half a month before it is open to everyone.

  When everyone from the Li Mansion arrived, the carriages were already parked at the foot of Luoxia Mountain. Mrs. Jiang got out of the car and led the crowd to climb the steps on foot.

   is the busiest time of year for flowers to bloom. The trees on both sides of the mountain road are green and red, colorful and beautiful, and pilgrims in twos and threes meander from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, endlessly.

   Being in it, the strong atmosphere of the festival came to me. Several girls from the Loei House quietly looked around with excitement and restraint, just like all the ladies who went up the mountain at this time.

  Li Jiao walked beside Li Jiao and asked her in a low voice, "Second sister's foot still hurts?"

   Li Jiao's eyes quickly flashed an unpleasant color.

   Really, which pot can’t be lifted without opening it!

However, the concern on Li Jiao's face was very real. Li Jiao thought of her grandmother's recent beating, and the corners of her mouth curved into an elegant arc, and replied with a smile: "Thank you, big sister, for your concern. Although it still hurts a little, today is Buddha's birthday. People pray, and I'm always here."

  Li Jiao listened with a smile on his face, but he was amused in his heart.

It's really hard for the second sister, she is obviously a flamboyant and hot temperament, and she is not restrained by the township lord to learn how to behave like a famous and noble girl. As a result, she can still pretend to be on weekdays, and when she encounters something, it will show its true shape. Drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog.

Li Jiao didn't know what Li Jiao was thinking, but when she remembered her help that day, although the two of them didn't get well in the end, she still wanted to express her feelings and asked with concern: "After we went back that day, eldest sister Are you all right?"

"That day—" Li Jiao lowered his eyes, his long voice showing a bit of depression, "I kowtowed to my grandmother to apologize, but fortunately my grandmother was lenient and didn't care about me. But don't worry about me, second sister, after so many years I have It's okay to get used to it."

   Hearing what Li Jiao said, Li Jiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

   Among the girls in the West House, she looked down on Li San the most, and this cousin made her not to slack off, lest she would be overtaken by her if she relaxed her requirements. But in the end, my cousin lost her mother since she was a child, and she is also a poor sister with someone like Li San.

  Li Jiao's heart softened, she stretched out her hand to hold Li Jiao's hand, and promised, "Eldest sister, don't worry, one day I will teach Li San a lesson and let you out!"

  Li Jiao kept his eyes down, his eyes fell on the other party's white and tender hand, and he felt disgusted in his heart.

   vent her anger? That day, she was clearly the one who was affected by Chi Yu. If it wasn't for Li Jiao being too stupid, and she happened to be involved in the scene, how could she not be human inside and out?

Li Jiao thought so, but her face remained calm, she squeezed Li Jiao's hand lightly: "I am very grateful for the second sister's thoughts, but these days I have watched coldly, and the third sister has become different from before. , let's not provoke her, lest—"

  Li Jiao snorted coldly and interrupted Li Jiao's words: "What is the big sister afraid of, it was just her bad luck that day, let's watch it later!"

  Li Jiao neither agrees nor refutes, just smiles.

   At this moment, a girl's brisk voice came from behind: "Cousin Jiao—"

  Li Jiao and Li Jiao turned back at the same time.

   A girl in a green shirt waved to Li Jiao from afar.

  Li Jiao stopped.

   "Miss Du from the Uncle's Mansion in Guchang?" Li Jiao asked lukewarmly.

   "It's her." Li Jiao had already climbed down the stairs to meet her, and shook hands with the girl in the green shirt, "Cousin Feixue, I was wondering if we would meet in the temple, but I didn't expect to meet here."

   It turned out that the girl in the green shirt was Li Jiao's cousin, Du Feixue.

   Du Feiyang and Du Feixue are the sons and daughters of Gu Changbo. They are twins of a dragon and a phoenix. They have had an excellent relationship with Li Jiao since childhood.

   "Where's cousin Feiyang?"

   "Brother went to Taining Houfu to find cousin Zhu."

   "Is that Zhu Shizi?" Li Jiao couldn't help but feel envious.

   Taining Hou's mansion is a nobler family than her grandfather's house, Guchangbo's mansion. She had met Zhu Shizi once, and he was as gentle as jade.

  Li Jiao looked at Du Feixue calmly.

  Du Feixue wore a light green shirt today. The material was precious clear water gauze, and the workmanship was exquisite. Unfortunately, her complexion was slightly darker, so her dress did not stand out.

  Li Jiao felt sour in his heart.

In terms of appearance and talent, she is better than this cousin in every way, but because she lost her mother, she missed the circle of noble girls where her cousin belongs, and usually relies on the picky and harsh old lady in the East House to participate in some events. banquet.

   The things in this world are really unfair.

   "Of course it's Zhu Shizi, otherwise who else would there be?" Speaking of his cousin Zhu Yan, Du Feixue's eyes were bright, and his dark skin color also added brilliance.

   She didn't want to talk to other young girls about her sweetheart, not even her cousin, so she changed the subject: "Cousin Jiao, I heard that the third girl in your house is back?"

   "Cousin Feixue also knows?"

Du Feixue sneered: "Who else in the capital doesn't know about it? Cousin Jiao, you don't know, the day my grandmother learned that you were dismissed, she was so angry that she didn't eat, and her grandfather threw his chopsticks, even my father. I've been sullen for days."

   "Is that so? It's all my fault, which made the elders worry."

  The grandfather and the others were unhappy because they lost the in-law relationship with the uncle's mansion in Changchun, right? Li Jiao thought coldly.

   "That's not your fault, it's not Li San's fault!" Du Feixue glanced around and sneered, "She didn't come today? Yes, when something like that happens, how can you still have the face to go out!"

  Du Feixue took Li Jiao's hand and said with a full smile: "Cousin Jiao, I'm happy when I think that I'll never see such a disgusting person in the future. Let's go to Shedou to form a bond together later."

  Li Jiao, who was at the top of the steps, finally became impatient and shouted, "Elder Sister, Sister Du, it's time for the elders to urge you if you don't go."

   "Well, let's go."

  The mountain road leading to the Great Buddha Temple is wide and gentle, and everyone climbed up without much effort.

  The gate of the Great Buddha Temple is wide open, the bells and drums are playing continuously, the monks in yellow vestments walk slowly in the open air, the stone lions in front of the temple appear sacred and solemn, and the Buddha water for bathing the Buddha exudes a unique fragrance.

The girls are not very interested in the annual Buddha bathing ceremony. What attracts them more is the freedom to enjoy the scenery and chat and laugh on the high and wide Luoxia Mountain. What makes them willing to return to their elders is the donation from each family. Go to the Buddhist scriptures.

   In front of so many noble ladies, if any Buddhist scriptures are praised by the eldest princess of Shuying Nunnery, the girls of those families will have long faces.

   After using the vegetarian food, the wives and girls of the prefectures tacitly waited in each hall.
