Chapter 27: The Encounter at Fuquan Temple (1)
On April 28th, the birth of the Medicine King Bodhisattva, Mrs. Bai took Bai Fuyao out early this morning and prepared to go to Fuquan Temple to burn incense.
Bai Fuyao, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that she was going to be sleepy.
Because she was not well-behaved since childhood, her grandmother had pity for her, so she saved her morning and evening confinement. She was lazy and loved to sleep in. She had almost never woken up so early today.
But there is no way. My grandmother went to Fuquan Temple to burn incense today, and she hoped that the Medicine King Bodhisattva would bless her to be healthy as soon as possible. If she even trampled her grandmother's will, it would be thunder.
Moreover, according to news from Huanian yesterday, the family of Hexi Jiedushi Wu Yunwu will also come to Fuquan Temple to burn incense today, which is really a killing two birds with one stone.
In fact, she was about to try to get close to Wu Yunwu's family a long time ago.
That time I went to the Hundred Flowers Festival was an excellent opportunity. Everything was planned, but I didn’t expect that she was lost and finally...
Anyway, she was not in the mood to deal with others that time. And now she has investigated Wu Yunwu’s affairs, so there is no need for her family close to Wu Yunwu.
But since I got such an opportunity today, it would be nice to see if the Wu family can give her a surprise.
Just thinking about this, Bai Fuyao and his group of people were shaking their carriages and finally arrived at the foot of Fuquan Temple.
Bai Fuyao was helped off the carriage by Jinse, walked to Mrs. Bai's carriage and said goodbye to Mrs. Bai, and then took Jinse and two other women to climb the mountain.
Fuquan Temple is located on a relatively high mountain top. If you want to go from the foot of the mountain to the top of Fuquan Temple, there are two roads to walk. One is to make a carriage for people like Mrs. Bai or who are less likely to move.
Another one is composed of all the stone steps.
It is said that these stone steps were polished by a host of Fuquan Temple who spent his whole life to save sentient beings.
Therefore, as long as you live in Fuquan Temple, you will choose to take this stone stairs and mountain road, step by step to the top of the mountain to show your sincerity in worshiping Buddha.
Although Bai Fuyao is often said to be in poor health and she is not willing to do such tiring exercises as climbing, she is a young man after all, and does not want to go against her grandmother's sincerity in worshiping Buddha, so she can only take the initiative to choose to walk the mountain road.
Although Bai Fuyao often pretends to be sick, her health is indeed not very good.
She fell into a pond once when she was three years old in the middle of winter, and that time almost killed her. Fortunately, her father, who had not yet been to the northwest as a marshal, took her around to search for famous doctors. It took more than a year for the treatment to save her life.
But from then on, Bai Fuyao also fell into the root of the disease. She became very afraid of chills and often became sick. Others might be able to survive the winter with just one jacket. She also had to add two layers of cotton coats inside and tie a thick wind outside to ensure that she could not get cold.
It was obviously a bit difficult for Bai Fuyao to climb the mountain. She had just walked halfway through the stone steps, and her face turned pale and unreasonable.
Jinse looked at Bai Fuyao with a pale face and slightly gasping, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and said with a distressed feeling: "Miss, I remember there is a pavilion for people to rest not far away. We can't get that rest before leaving!"
Bai Fuyao felt that her legs were no longer her own, her breathing was no longer so calm, her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she was still lacking in exercise!
After listening to Jinse's words, she didn't force herself, "Okay, I'm just thinking that way."
Both mothers knew that Bai Fuyao was weak, and if there was anything wrong with Miss Qi, they couldn't get rid of it, so they naturally didn't dare to have any objections. So the group walked towards the pavilion.
Bai Fuyao silently recited persistence in her heart, persistence, and she could rest immediately, and finally supported her to walk not far from the pavilion.
This pavilion is built on a platform on the mountainside, and is built on the cliff. Both sides of the pavilion are lush ancient trees. When you go to the pavilion from Bai Fuyao and the others, you have to bypass these trees.
I just got around halfway and heard some noise coming from the direction of the pavilion.
It turns out that there is already someone in this pavilion? Bai Fuyao thought desperately. God, don’t tease her like this!
Bai Fuyao didn't give up and walked forward a few steps, and saw a man wearing black clothes, strong eyebrows, big eyes, and pretty faces arguing with a few women dressed in maids.
But the man was obviously at a disadvantage. His face was a little black and red, he spoke hesitantly, and he looked at him at a loss.
A woman stood under the shade of a tree not far behind the maids. Her face was a little pointed, her almond eyes combined with her facial features made her look a little shrewd and mean.
Standing beside her was a girl in a tender green gauze dress holding her arm, looking at the face that was 80% similar to the woman, it should be her daughter. She was a little nervous about the arguments over there, but she occasionally looked at the man in black.
Just as Bai Fuyao was looking at the group of people, they also discovered the arrival of Bai Fuyao and his group.
Jinse and the two mothers who were following him didn't know what was going on opposite side. They were afraid of rushing to the lady, so they could only protect Bai Fuyao first.
The mother and daughter standing under the tree looked at Bai Fuyao and her party from afar. The argument between the maids and the men also stopped because of Bai Fuyao and her party's arrival.
But the man in black seemed a little surprised when he saw Bai Fuyao and blurted out: "Hey, why are you?"
After saying that, he seemed to realize something again and scratched his head awkwardly.
Not only did the mother and daughter look at each other even more, but Jinse was a little strange and asked Bai Fuyao in a low voice, "Miss, do you know him?"
Bai Fuyao was a little surprised when she heard the man in black, then frowned and looked at the man in black carefully, believing that she had never seen him.
"Don't know." Then he looked at the man in black and said, "Do you know me?"
The man in black shook his head and said, "I don't know you, I don't know you, I've never seen you."
After saying that, he seemed to feel that his answer had just been too hasty, and added: "I just admitted my mistake and regarded the lady as someone I knew."
Then he clasped his fists and said to Bai Fuyao: "I'm rude, please forgive me."
Bai Fuyao saw that the man was obviously lying, but she was too lazy to expose him. She had nothing to do with a man for no reason.
Therefore, he said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, since you admit your mistake, just say it clearly."
But I was thinking in my heart that this man knew her, but she didn't know this man at all. Thinking of this, Bai Fuyao couldn't help but squint her eyes.
The man was looking at Bai Fuyao and suddenly shuddered instinctively.
After taking a look at Bai Fuyao, he said to himself in his heart: Jiang Hu, Jiang Hu, you are really getting back and forth. Even a little girl can feel dangerous. It must have been caused by those difficult little maids just now.
Alas, when thinking of the master sitting in the pavilion behind him, Jiang Hu couldn't help but sigh that it was difficult to be a personal guard!
