There is the famous Fengchi Mountain about ten miles outside Pingzhou City. The name Fengchi Mountain has some origins. Not only is the mountain shaped like a pair of outstretched wings, it is also covered with maple trees. In late autumn, it is red, yellow, blue and purple.
, colorful and dazzling like the wings of a phoenix when viewed from a distance, hence the reputation of Phoenix Wing Mountain.
The left wing peak of Fengchi Mountain is slightly higher than the right wing peak. It is an excellent place to watch the autumn scenery of maple leaves. When climbing Fengchi Mountain to appreciate the maple leaves, you must go to the left wing peak, and Pingji Temple is located here. Pingji Temple is
The centuries-old temple is famous for its exquisite vegetarian cuisine. The abbot is friendly and good at management, and the incense is naturally flourishing.
On weekdays, families from rich to poor in Pingzhou City always like to donate incense and money here. In autumn, there are even more people who come to enjoy the leaves and view and ask for the blessings of Bodhisattva. If we don’t send someone to take care of it in advance,
It is basically impossible to live comfortably in the mountains and enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food.
Today, the monk Zhike of Pingji Temple got busy early in the morning, instructing the novice monks to clear out a few courtyards with the best scenery and the quietest ones, wash the floors and stone tables and benches with clean water, and burn sandalwood.
Xiang, preparing to welcome the most famous families of Wu, Lu and Lin in Pingzhou City to go up the mountain to worship Buddha and enjoy the scenery.
At about noon, a long row of sedan chairs entered the mountain gate one after another. The monks were very busy, asking questions, introducing people, and setting up fast meals. When the pilgrims saw this large group of brightly dressed and fragrant smells, they were so busy.
Most of the female relatives of wealthy families who wore veils voluntarily stayed away and did not dare to go forward to cause trouble. Some people recognized that this was one or two family members of Taiming Mansion who came to offer incense to fulfill their vows this year, and stood aside.
Quietly giving advice and discussing, some were envious, while others laughed and said that so many people came with great fanfare, they were coming up the mountain to hunt tigers.
Hearing the discussion, the female relatives became more solemn and solemn, and were extremely cautious in every move. Lin Jinrong, wearing a jade-colored skirt, followed closely behind Tao, lowering her head and lowering her eyes without squinting. Lin Wu, Lin Liu, Lin Qi,
Lu Yun and others were also following closely behind their mother, stern and serious, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
Men, on the other hand, did not have so many restraints. Wu Xiang took Lu Yan, and together with several other children of the same age from the Wu, Lu, and Lin families, they did not care about the attention and comments of others. They looked around and commented on the beauty of the tree from time to time.
So what about the inscription on that stone? Who left it behind? In what year was he a Jinshi, and what official position did he hold later? His voice still had the crispness of a young man, and he spoke quickly and urgently.
Occasionally, he would make a witty remark, which would make everyone laugh. Even if Lu Ming was as heavy-minded as he was, he could not help but show a somewhat relaxed smile.
After entering the back and sitting down at the dining table, facing the table full of exquisite vegetarian food, the female family members relaxed. After the greetings, Luo Shi was the first to praise Wu Xiang: "Wu Xiang's temperament is really endearing.
.Not only is he knowledgeable and well-informed, but he is also eloquent.”
Lin Yuzhen also said: "It is true that a hero emerges from a young age. Look at the way he talks and laughs, which makes people feel sad. He is not like my Lu Mian. He never talks much all day long and always has a straight face.
.”
Yang smiled slightly when he heard this: "Stop praising him. This kid is the most frivolous. How can he compare to Lu Yan, who is young, mature, stable and generous? I hope he can learn from Lu Yan and be more stable."
Mrs. Lu's second wife, Mrs. Song, hid her mouth and smiled: "Both children are good, you just look at others, otherwise, why not change them?"
Luo Shi laughed: "If I change it, I might regret it in less than half a day!"
Hearing them start complimenting each other, even though she knew they wouldn't get down to business so soon, Mrs. Tao couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips in schadenfreude, and turned to wink at Mother Gong, signaling Mother Gong to take advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention.
He quickly handed over the box that Tao Shunqin brought to Lu Mian. Mother Gong understood and walked out quietly.
The twins already knew Lin Yuzhen's plan and knew that something good was coming for Lu Yun, so they smiled narrowly at Lu Yun. Lin Liu touched Lu Yun's shoulder affectionately and whispered: "Sister Yun, this vegetarian chicken is well done. Try it."
taste?"
Lin Qi smiled and said: "Sister Yun is afraid that no matter how delicious the vegetarian food is, she won't be able to taste it right now." Before she finished speaking, Lin Liu glanced at her and told her to pay attention. Wu Xiang was sitting next to her.
As for my cousin Wu Ling, the matter has not been decided yet, so how can I talk nonsense?
Lin Qi stuck out her tongue naughtily to express her apology.
"Why can't I taste it?" Lu Yun didn't care. He generously took a chopstick of vegetarian chicken and fed it into his mouth. He glanced sideways at Lin Jinrong, but when he saw Lin Jinrong lowering his eyes and eating expressionlessly, he smiled and said:
"Fourth sister, does the vegetarian fish in front of you taste good?"
Lin Jinrong then raised his eyes to look at her and smiled sweetly: "Yes, it's well-deserved. Do you want to try it?"
Lu Yun acted coquettishly: "You give it to me?"
As expected, Lin Jinrong put a chopstick in her bowl. Lin Liu and Lin Qi also joined in the fun: "We want it too." Lin Jinrong obeyed and gave each of them a chopstick, and then asked Wu Xiang's cousin Wu Ling who was standing aside: "
Ah Ling, do you want to try it?"
Wu Ling shook his head in pain: "Thank you very much. I am not a vegetarian."
Lin Wu, who had been silent and unhappy, snorted coldly. Lin Jinrong glanced at her and then asked her: "Where is Fifth Sister, do you want it?"
Lin Wu shook his head lightly: "No." Then he pointed to the glazed hairpin on Wu Ling's hair, pretending to be surprised and said: "Hey, the color of this hairpin on A Ling's head is so beautiful, peach blossom pink, how come the style is different from mine?
The ones my sister sent are somewhat similar?"
Wu Ling smiled and touched the hairpin in her hair: "My second brother gave it to me. I brought it back from Qingzhou. I thought that this colored glaze was one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, and I liked the color, so I picked it out specially. Ah Zhi, you
Sharp eyes."
Lin Wu chuckled: "It turns out they were all bought from Qingzhou, no wonder I think they look alike." Without looking at anyone, he put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "Excuse me, I'm full and a little tired, I'll go first.
Let's rest." After saying that, she got up and went to talk to Mr. Zhou, and was accompanied by the servant girl to the resting place. She didn't like anyone now, especially Lu Yun. Every time she saw Lu Yun, she would
There is a sense of shame of betrayal.
The twins exchanged knowing glances with each other, showing a hint of disdain. Lin Liutong and Wu Ling explained: "She was feeling a little uncomfortable. She didn't want to come. My grandmother persuaded her to come and relax, but she felt a little uncomfortable."
." I don't know what Mrs. Lin is thinking. If you don't want to come, don't force it. If you want all the sisters to come, you will have a gloomy horse face in front of your eyes, which really affects your mood.
Lu Yun put down his chopsticks, looked at the hairpin on Wu Ling's head with a smile, and praised: "It's really good-looking, there are some similarities. The hairpin that my fourth sister gave me is purple, right?"
"Yes." Lin Jinrong smiled faintly and didn't say much. Lin Liu came to smooth things over again: "They are both from Qingzhou, so they naturally look alike."
Not long after, everyone had finished their fasting meal, and the ladies asked the maids to go aside to see if the young men had finished their fasting meal, take a rest, bathe and change clothes, and prepare to burn incense and pay their vows. Lin Jinrong watched with sharp eyes when she saw Mother Gong coming in from outside and whispering next to Mrs. Tao.
After saying a few words, a smile appeared on Mrs. Tao's face, and she subconsciously leaned over and called Mrs. Tao: "Mother."
Mrs. Tao looked back at her, smiled sweetly, and went to hold her hand: "Come on, let's go take a bath and change clothes first, and also burn incense and ask for a root stick."
As long as Lin Jinrong didn't get involved in those things, the rest of her requests were not requests. She followed Tao out obediently. Tao turned around and saw that Luo and Yang had gathered together affectionately, and Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun were also there.
I had already avoided it, so I smiled slightly, thinking that I would be able to see the wonderful faces of some people when I wake up.
But it was said that Mr. Luo deliberately came together with Mr. Yang, and made Yang Mr. slowly fall behind due to the incomprehensible behavior of some parents. Then he gradually got to the point: "Sister Yang, I don't know how you raised your children. Look at the two children in your family."
My sons are all great among men..." He also praised Wu Xiang.
Yang's ears had become calluses hearing similar words these days, but she still patiently declined modestly. Luo's son couldn't find anything to praise, so he praised the twins for being like flowers, dignified and virtuous, and said that Luo was very lucky.
Luo Shi smiled and said: "Who are those two in my family? They are ignorant and have been raised to be spoiled and naive. My niece Ayun is better. She is talented and talented. She is rare to be dignified and generous, capable and virtuous..."
She praised her niece, how could Yang say it bad? Moreover, Lu Yun did have a good reputation, so she also praised her: "Yes, Ayun is really a rare good girl. Every time I see you raising
My wonderful daughter, I love her so much in my heart, but it’s a pity that I don’t have that blessing.”
Oops, it sounds so smooth. Luo Shi was very proud: "Sister, it is not difficult to have a good daughter who will satisfy your wish. It is very simple. All you need to do is marry a good wife. I wonder if your Wu Xiang is married?
"
Seeing her suddenly making such a big turn, Yang's heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't deal with it. After all, these families knew each other well and couldn't hide it, so she could only smile and said: "No. His temper has not yet been decided."
…”
When Luo Shi heard that she said no, he couldn't wait to say: "It's better to talk about marriage as early as possible. Once the marriage is decided, his temperament will be determined. This is the case for both of my family."
Yang smiled: "Yes."
Seeing that she had no objection, Luo Shi said boldly: "To be honest with you sister, I want to do a good deed today. My aunt has always felt that your Wu Xiang is a good child..."
Yang had already guessed her purpose, and her expression immediately changed. Regardless of being rude, she quickly interrupted her and said urgently: "What, your aunt is wrong. Only our own family knows about Wu Xiang's temper.
She was so bad that she didn't dare to propose marriage to him easily. His grandfather said that it would be best to wait until he turns twenty before seeing her again, so as not to delay his good girl and offend so many people." Then he looked at her.
He said to him: "It's getting late, I have to go take a bath and change clothes quickly." After saying this, he saluted Luo Shi and soon disappeared without a trace.
Luo Shi was dumbfounded and stood there for a long time before he realized that he had been rejected. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
