Chapter 051: Intentional
When Danqing came back with hot water, Lan Yizheng sorted out her clothes. In fact, Chu Xinyu didn't bring much clothes, just three sets of clothes, the guy who combed his hair and the small jewelry he brought in daily life.
There is also a purse, which contains five ingots of silver and some broken silver. It is intended to damage the merit tomorrow. As for some silver notes, she did not put them in the purse. She kept them close to her body for fear of any accidents.
"Where is her?" Lan Yi asked without seeing Xiangmei.
"Sister Xiangmei is going to arrange accommodation for the coachman and guard." Danqing walked to Lan Yi, patted her chest and whispered: "The sun is about to set. Don't go out at night. I heard that there are many lonely ghosts here and they will be captured by them if they are accidentally."
Lan Yi glared at her and shouted angrily: "You dare to talk nonsense in front of the girl, be careful that I will tear your mouth apart!"
Danqing was startled, "It's not what I'm talking nonsense, it's what Sister Xiangmei told me."
Lan Yi asked intently: "When did she say this to you?"
Danqing replied: "When I went out with her just now."
Lan Yi patted her head with a grudge, "You are stupid! You believe her words too. This is a temple, a Buddhist holy place, and there are no lonely ghosts. Even if there are, they are still good ghosts."
After a sneak peek at Chu Xinyu, seeing that she was not unhappy, Danqing grimaced at Lan Yi. Lan Yi rolled her eyes, and didn't understand why the girl brought her out. No matter how she looked, she wasn't at all eye-catching.
After a cup of tea, Xiangmei came back.
Chu Xinyu had finished washing, changed into a light purple narrow-sleeved robe, and a skirt embroidered with orchids on the side of the moon-white skirt. Danqing stood in front of her and hung the untied incense bag back to her chest.
Xiangmei came over and said, "I have prepared the items to offer my vows tomorrow, and the guards will take them outside the Mainland Hall tomorrow morning."
Chu Xinyu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to prepare for my wish." As he said that, he asked Danqing to take a flower hairpin to admire her.
Xiangmei was full of surprise. These things were all done by the eldest lady. Seeing that she had been out for a long time, she took the matter out and said, afraid that her thoughts would be seen, so she lowered her head and pretended to refuse: "This is what a servant should do. This is not something that a servant should do."
Chu Xinyu said, "Please accept it, there will be many things to rely on you in the future."
Seeing Chu Xinyu say this, Xiangmei is not polite.
The hairpin was hot-sold for at least ten taels of silver. Unexpectedly, the fifth girl was still so generous. She secretly glanced at the incense bag hanging on her chest by Chu Xinyu, lowered her eyes slightly, and covered the emotions in her eyes and said, "There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so I will burn incense to repel mosquitoes."
After speaking, he turned around and walked to the incense table, half-squatted, opened the cover of the copper gilt incense stove, took out an incense box from his arms, picked some powdered incense and put it in the stove. Suddenly, the cigarette swelled and the fragrance was filled with fragrance.
Chu Xinyu stared at her back, and his smile disappeared little by little.
Lan Yizheng walked out of the bedroom and saw Xiangmei burning incense. She looked at Chu Xinyu first. Seeing that she gave her a wink, she understood and nodded slightly. Then she stepped behind Xiangmei and leaned forward to suck, "Sister Xiangmei, what did you put in the stove? It smells so fragrant!"
Xiangmei shook her hand, and some fragrant powder fell by the stove. She quickly brushed it with her sleeves and yelled: "How did you walk, silent and colorless."
"You are too focused." Lan Yi smiled and said, "By the way, you haven't told me what it smells like?"
"Sweet powder, made with mugwort leaves and black agarwood."
Lan Yi took a deep breath and said, "So it's the fragrant powder, no wonder it smells so good!"
Xiangmei gently covered the incense burner cover and stood up and said, "The little monk said there were many mosquitoes on the mountain at night. He gave me a box of incense, saying that the powder made of mugwort, Huoxiang and Wu agarwood can not only repel mosquitoes, but also calm the mind and warm the stomach and intestines. When I saw that the girl looked bad in her face, she wanted to come over."
Lan Yi slapped her forehead suddenly: "Oh, look at me, Sister Xiangmei is still careful. She is really worthy of being the eldest lady's most capable maid. I have to study hard with Sister Xiangmei."
While chatting and laughing, the little novice monks in the temple sent him a vegetarian food.
Not only is Longhua Mountain a pleasant scenery, but the vegetarian dishes in the temple are also very famous.
Therefore, Chu Xinyu was very full of food. After the meal, she felt a little bored in the house and wanted to go out for a walk, but Xiangmei opposed it and said it was going to be dark and it was unsafe to go out, so she was allowed to stay in the room.
Seeing Xiangmei oppose it, Chu Xinyu seemed a little annoyed, "You are not my maid, and I am not your master. If anything happens, it has nothing to do with you."
"No, my wife wants me to watch you, you can't go out at night." Xiangmei came up to block her way.
"Do you need to review where I go? Get out of here!" After saying that, Chu Xinyu pushed Xiangmei away rudely and strode away.
Danqing was shocked. This was the first time she saw a girl angry. She obviously had a good atmosphere when she was eating. Why did the girl’s temper come to her blink?
Lan Yi pulled the dazed Danqing and followed Chu Xin's feather tail.
As soon as the three of them stepped out of the door, they saw two people standing outside the courtyard. They stood there for a while, and they should have heard their argument just now.
"Isn't this the fifth girl from the Hou Zhongyi's Mansion? Come and burn incense too." The person who spoke was a lady wearing a lilac embroidered satin-faced lace and duck egg green horse-faced skirt. She was no one else, but the second wife of the Hou Changping.
The woman standing beside her was dressed similarly to her, and she was a little younger. Chu Xinyu had no impression of her, but when she was polite, she bent her knees slightly at the two of them, "Yu'er has met two ladies."
Mengshi smiled and said, "It's getting dark, where are you going?" She smiled and looked very charming, with curved eyes, like the moon, making it easy for people to take off their guards.
"Let's go." Chu Xinyu didn't want to continue chatting with her, so he nodded at her and walked out of the yard.
At this moment, Xiangmei ran out of the wing room and said, "Girl, it's dark and it's not safe outside. Let Xiangmei accompany you." She raised her voice, and almost heard her voice in the whole courtyard. Mengshi and the women beside her looked at Chu Xinyu.
Chu Xinyu's face became heavy, but she didn't want to scold her in front of outsiders, so she agreed, but it was impossible for everyone to go out, so she let Danqing stay and see the house.
After walking out of the courtyard, Chu Xinyu, who had always had good hearing, could still vaguely hear the Mengshi sigh: "The girls nowadays love to play so much. If something happens, I will really worry about their parents!"
"So those rumors are true, this girl..."
Xiangmei said as she walked, "Girl, where are we going to have a walk?"
Lan Yi stepped forward and held her arm and said, "Sister Xiangmei seems to be very familiar with this place, so why don't you take us around." As she said that, she blinked at Chu Xinyu while Xiangmei was not paying attention.
How could Chu Xinyu not know what Lan Yi was thinking, so he cooperated with her, "You lead the way, my chest is a little stuffy, where is it cooler?"
Xiangmei thought for a while and said, "I see the sky is pure and bright. Go to the Buddha statue lake, maybe you can see the Buddha's light."
The Buddha statue lake is behind the main hall. A Buddha statue stands quietly in the lake. It is said that when the sunrises or the moon is in the sky, the Buddha statue will shine, which is the Buddha light, but not everyone can see it. But as long as the person who sees it makes a wish to the Buddha light, the wish can be realized.
Regardless of whether this legend is true or not, or whether it is reliable, there are still many people who believe it. Almost everyone who has stayed overnight in the temple has visited the Buddha statue lake at night to wait until dawn, hoping that they are the lucky one.
"Okay." Chu Xinyu fanned his hands in front of his face, frowned, and looked a little impatient.
Seeing this, Xiangmei's lips raised slightly and walked forward quickly, but she didn't know that Chu Xinyu and Lan Yi exchanged glances behind her.
