Naturally, the Li family in Beijing did not have such a treasure as a rocking chair. Li Yi leaned on the small chair, looked at the white figure standing on the wall, and said lazily: "Xiao Yi'er, is this your name when you were a child? How come you never had it?
Have you heard of Ruyi mentioning it?”
Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this title seemed to suit her. She originally wanted to use it to make fun of Li Yi, but unexpectedly, she was included in it.
With a trace of annoyance on her pretty face, she threw the maid who was on the other side of the wall and shouted anxiously for her to come down quickly, and jumped down from the top of the wall.
"When are you going to go back?" He walked to Li Yi and said coldly, holding the sword in his arms.
Miss Liu Er almost never calls him brother-in-law. Li Yi has long been accustomed to this. Perhaps from that day when she was riding on a horse, she looked at him like a prey and said "take him away"
At that time, I had no intention of being a well-behaved sister-in-law.
"We will leave after my birthday. If we take a boat, it will only take two days to go back."
Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief quietly in her heart. Without asking any more questions, she changed the subject and said, "The old lady is going to a temple outside the city tomorrow to offer incense. I will go with her. Do you want to go?"
"I won't go." Li Yi simply shook his head and said.
"Forget it!" Miss Liu Er said coldly, and her toes flew up the wall, causing the maid opposite to scream.
Li Yi looked at the yard next door. Miss Liu Er, who had just turned seventeen, was still just a child. Although she always pretended to be mature and cold, her girlish nature could not be changed.
Ruyi has always protected her and Xiaohuan very well. Although Ruyi has high martial arts skills, his mind is rare and simple. Underneath the cold appearance, there is a lively and playful heart.
Ruyi knew that she didn't want to get too involved with the Li family, so she didn't come with him. Instead, she asked Ruyi to go with him. The reason was for protection, but also for the purpose of letting her go out for a walk and release.
Thinking about her character, Li Yi couldn't help but start to worry about Ruyi and her future...
…
…
Although the beginning of spring is a few days after the Spring Festival, it still has to wait until after the Lantern Festival for the weather to really start to warm up and for people to feel a hint of spring.
The wind is gentle, the sky is clear, the sun is bright, and the snow in the mountains has long melted. Today is a suitable day for traveling.
Every year on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, a temple fair is held at Hanshan Temple outside the city. At this time, believers from all over the mountain will go to the mountain to worship. Scholars offer some incense and pray that they can go to high school in the coming year. Then they will surely give the Buddha a golden body.
Young ladies hope to find a husband as soon as possible, and newlywed women often go to worship Guanyin...
In a feudal society, it is normal for the people to be feudal. If there is no scientific credibility, you have to believe in something...
The old lady is going to Hanshan Temple today to fulfill her vow. A large group of maids are following her, and more than a dozen guards are accompanying her throughout the journey. She is even escorted by a heroine with excellent martial arts skills. As for Li Yi, he just went out for a walk to relax.
Hanshan Temple is naturally located on Hanshan Mountain, and has nothing to do with the Hanshan Temple that is "outside the city of Suzhou, and the bell rings to the passenger ship at midnight".
A short mountain with an altitude of only more than 100 meters, it became famous because of the popular Hanshan Temple. Li Yi sat in the carriage, and after leaving the city, he started a bumpy journey.
He was not the only one in the carriage. The chubby naughty boy was gnawing on the fat and oily chicken drumsticks in his hands without paying any attention to Li Yi. For the naughty boy, this chicken drumstick was better than this one.
The brother who appears is much more interesting.
If Li Yi remembers correctly, the naughty boy in front of him is called Li Yingcai, the son of his third uncle Li Mingyuan. This time he was dragged out of the house by his mother. A chicken leg came into his hand. In a short time,
There were only a few bones left, and there was no trace of meat left on them, indicating that this guy was definitely an expert at chewing chicken legs.
It wasn't until he sucked all ten fingers and took out a few pieces of preserved fruit from his arms and started stuffing them into his mouth that Li Yi knew that there was a reason why this naughty kid had grown so strong at such a young age.
As if he felt a little embarrassed to be eating alone, the naughty boy took out a piece of preserved fruit, looked at it with nostalgia, and handed it to Li Yi.
Just now, Li Yi saw him licking his hand all over like a bear's paw. Looking at the preserved fruit he handed over, he smiled and shook his head in rejection.
The naughty child was obviously very happy, and as soon as he changed his hand, he stuffed the preserved fruit into his mouth again.
Hanshan Temple is not far away. After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the foot of Hanshan Mountain.
The stone steps paved with bluestone extend from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and many people are already climbing up the stone steps.
The old man was physically inconvenient, and the carriage took another flat mountain road. The naughty boy didn't know what he had eaten just now, and started to fart non-stop while sitting in the carriage. Li Yi had no choice but to jump off the carriage and tell the coachman that he planned to hike up the mountain.
Just meet up on the mountain.
The air outside was much fresher, and there was still a faint fragrance in the air. Li Yi noticed that many plum blossoms were planted on both sides of the mountain road. The last two days were at the peak of the flowering season, and the ladies wearing curtains on their heads almost
It was a flower in each hand, and the stone steps were covered with petals. Li Yi had not walked a few steps when he saw a scholar in green shirt picking a plum blossom and putting it on his head. He looked like a scholar from the Song Dynasty...
A group of guys who caused great disgrace. The beautiful plum blossoms were broken into pieces, but they actually regarded it as an elegant thing. Several guys with flowers in their hair and self-proclaimed talents recited poems to a bare plum tree.
…
The stone steps were not steep, but they were very long. It took Li Yi about a quarter of an hour to walk up the stone steps. When he reached the top of the mountain, he finally understood why he met so many young men and ladies along the way.
Hanshan Temple is not an isolated temple. In fact, the entire top of the mountain belongs to Hanshan Temple, including the surrounding plum blossom forest as far as the eye can see.
Taking the young ladies from Muli to visit the plum blossom forest, low voices and smiles came from Muli. The talented men spread a piece of plain cloth under the plum trees, sat cross-legged, raised their glasses and drank, and recited a good poem,
It's raining plum blossoms above...
When the peach and apricot trees were just bare branches, this endless plum blossom forest was indeed a good place for an outing.
No wonder Hanshan Temple chose today for the temple fair. This plum blossom forest can attract many talented people and beauties. After admiring the plum blossom forest, and then going in to worship the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, they will naturally offer incense...
These bald donkeys really know how to choose the right time!
Li Yi naturally had no intention of admiring plum blossoms alone. Two coachmen stood guard outside the temple, saying that the old lady had taken everyone to the temple to offer incense and to visit a famous eminent monk who would be out in a while.
Not coming.
Deeply taught by Marxism-Leninism, Li Yi used to not believe in gods and Buddhas, but since such incredible things as time travel can happen, what else is impossible?
I respectfully burned a stick of incense, threw a piece of broken silver into the merit box, and then started touring the temple leisurely.
I don't like crowded places, so I prefer quiet trails. The antique temples also have a unique charm, simplicity and gravity, which are not found in the temple attractions of later generations.
After passing through several arches, the crowds gradually became sparse. When he walked out of the last moon gate, a plum blossom forest that was more prosperous than outside appeared in front of him.
"Why is the donor worried?" An old voice came from inside Merlin.
"How can you not worry when everything in life is unsatisfactory?" A young man's voice then sounded.
Li Yi stopped, with an expression of interest on his face, and took a few steps forward. Deep in the plum forest, he saw the backs of an old monk and a young man.
After hearing what the young man said, the old monk pointed to a plum tree and smiled without saying a word.
Li Yi stood behind the two of them, watching this scene in a daze.
Could this be the legendary Zen master and young man?
The young man suddenly understood and murmured: "Master, what you mean is that the plum blossoms have survived the bitter cold winter before they have their current fragrance. The suffering is temporary, but as long as it is over, spring will bloom?"
Li Yi really didn't want to ruin a perfect joke, so he smiled and held his stomach and said: "No, what the master means is---Mei Qian, you are talking nonsense!"
"who?"
The young man turned his head suddenly and pointed at Li Yi who was standing behind him. Just as he was about to speak, his mouth was half opened, with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.
Li Yi laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, and he cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a moment, you continue, continue..."
It's not good to ruin other people's Zen discussions. Li Yi planned to go out and laugh again. He didn't look at the reaction of the old monk and the young man. They were probably still thinking about the meaning of what they just said, so they turned around and walked in the direction they came from.
Seeing Li Yi's reaction, a trace of doubt appeared on the young man's face. Seeing that he was about to walk out, he hurriedly said: "Brother, stay!"
Hearing the young man's words, Li Yi moved faster. He thought to himself that if this guy doesn't continue discussing Zen with the old monk, why is he still relying on him?
"Stop!" When he was about to walk out of the moon gate, two figures suddenly appeared from the front and blocked him.
Seeing the two men standing in front of him, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.
