217 In the face of Buddha, the second lady is so pretentious
Around noon, the carriage was still halfway up the mountain. The old lady told everyone to get off the carriage to rest and rest before going on the road. Mu Xian nestled in his carriage from beginning to end to eat the food prepared by Nianhua in advance.
"Madam, I have prepared more clothes before I leave, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight." Nanxiao has always been very careful.
Mu Xiran took a bite of plum cake and stared at Nan Xiao, "Do you think this is the Yinyue Temple in Xiangcheng, where you can stay with female guests? The temples in the vast mountains are different. The door rules here are very strict, and no female guests can stay overnight. Even if we go to worship Buddha, we have to discuss with the host in advance.
In her previous life, she came here to worship Buddha with her mother several times, but now I don't know if the Cang Mang Temple has changed.
Nan Xiao didn't expect that he had prepared for nothing, so he was a little disappointed. He put the salute back and dragged his cheeks to look at several people sitting under the tree eating outside. "Madam, the maidservant looked at the original family at all. How can people with bodies like sweets so much?
Hearing the words, Mu Xian also followed her eyes. Sure enough, she saw that Yuan was eating sweets with relish, and her face was not as weak and pale as she should have seen red in the morning. She withdrew her eyes faintly, "It's not that people with a body don't like sweets."
When Nan Xiao heard the words, he raised his eyebrows and always felt that Yuan was a little strange.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew outside. Nianhua quickly put down the curtain and said, "It's windy outside. Be careful of the wind and cold."
Nan Xiao also wanted to ask Mu Xilan about today's incident, but when she saw Mu Xilan eating seriously, she also opened her mouth and felt that it was better not to ask.
It was delayed for more than half an hour on the road, and when I arrived at the gate of the temple on the top of the mountain, it was already time. In front of the temple gate, the host of the Cangzu Temple personally walked down from the stone steps, walked to the old lady, put his hands together, and said, "This mountain road is not easy to walk. Let's go ahead and have some vegetarian food first."
The first lady put her hands together and worshipped the host, "Thank you, host. However, we have eaten it on the way."
"Well, the poor monk took the benefactor to the main hall." The host has a kind eyebrow, wearing a saber's jacket and a straight posture.
"I'm sorry to host." The eldest lady bowed her head again, and then looked back at the people who followed her. When she saw the whole thing, she followed the host and followed her into the temple.
The roof of the whole temple is dark blue glazed tiles, and the wall is a simple gray brick and yellow tile. There is an old sycamore tree on the west side of the yard, which is still straight and long even if it has experienced vicissitudes.
Mu Xiyan's status is higher than other women's family, so she just followed the eldest lady and saw Leng's sideways. She took Leng's hand and raised her eyebrows, "Why is my sister's hand so cold?"
Leng Shi returned her solemn eyes and opened her red lips gently, "Sister, be very careful today."
"My sister thinks too much. In this Buddhist land, how dare anyone blasphend the Buddha casually? Mu Xiran smiled brightly, and then grasped Leng's hand, "My sister is the one who should protect herself the most."
Hearing the last sentence, Leng Shi suddenly understood that Mu Xiran was not confused, otherwise he would not have said such words. She just glanced at the afterglow and saw the original family close to her, so she nodded slightly and stopped talking.
Walking to the main hall, the huge Buddha statue came into sight, and everyone couldn't help but feel awe and quietly retreated aside.
First, the old lady came forward and knelt on the futon alone and worshipped the Buddha with a pious face. Then the old lady closed her palms and didn't know what she said. After that, she got up and walked to the host.
"Host, I want to calculate separately." The old lady looked surprisingly serious.
The host thought for a moment, glanced at the others in the hall, and nodded, "The donor came with the poor monk."
Hearing this, the old lady's face finally revealed a joy and turned her head and said to Mu Xi'an, "I'll leave this to you. After worship, he took them to sit in the quiet hall in the front yard. I'll come as soon as I go."
"Don't worry, aunt." Mu Xian answered softly.
The women in the West Courtyard worshipped Buddha one by one. After the last Su worshipped, they turned their heads and smiled at Mu Xi: "Sister-in-law, it's your turn."
Unexpectedly, Mu Xilan picked up the flowery smile at the corners of his mouth, and his clear eyes fell on the peaceful look of the Buddha and said, "I have always believed that things are man-made. I don't think it's necessary to take this kind of worship and praying to Buddha seriously." After saying that, he had to turn around and leave.
"The princess said such words in front of the Buddha. She was really the first person in the prosperous dynasty." The second lady's words were obviously sarcastic.
"Thank you very much for your praise." Mu Xian stepped over the high threshold, smiled back at the second lady, turned to sink the corners of his mouth, and said with irreversible coldness, "Well, let's go to Jingtang and wait for aunts."
There were only a few simple tables and chairs in the quiet hall. It was really wronged for the second lady to sit on a cold wooden chair. As soon as the second lady sat down, she suddenly stood up, raised her eyebrows angrily, and said delicately, "Why is this chair so cold? Man Ying, get a cushion and put it on for me."
"Just now, the second lady was still pious in front of Buddha, but now she is so pretentious." Mu Xilan leaned back and looked lazy.
Seeing what the second lady wanted to refute, Su hurriedly whispered, "There is also Buddha in the quiet hall."
"There is no Buddha in this quiet hall?" The second lady subconsciously said, but when she looked around the east side of the quiet hall, she saw a smaller Buddha statue there. Her face was ugly at this time. When she turned her head and saw that Man Ying did not move, she scolded softly, "Don't you go!"
Man Ying bravely bowed to the second lady, "Madam, there is no cushion on the carriage today."
The second lady's face was even more blue and white, white and blue. Several colors kept changing on her face. Finally, she was also discouraged and sat on the chair with a stiff face. "Next time if you are still so unintentional, I will immediately kick you out of Qin Mansion."
"I won't do it next time." Man Ying also breathed a sigh of relief and retreated respectfully.
Then the quiet hall fell into a brief silence, and they didn't know what to think about. But soon, the old lady came in with a bad face and almost fell when she pushed the door.
"Mother...what's wrong?" Yuan and Leng hurried forward to help the first lady.
The first lady reluctantly squeezed out a three-point smile and waved her hand, "I was in a daze for a moment and let you see the joke." Pulling her hand out of Yuan and Leng's hand, she went straight to Mu Xi'an and took Mu Xi's hand. "Well, it's time for us to go back."
Yuanshi curled his lips and looked at Mu Xi's back with a little more hatred.
Out of the temple, the old lady held Mu Xi'an's hand tightly and ordered, "Yuan and Leng are in a carriage. Xian and I sat on a car, saving three people sitting together and it was very crowded.
The eldest lady's enthusiasm made Mu Xi'an a little confused. When she got into the carriage, Mu Xi'an asked directly, "Aunmother, but what happened? You are a little abnormal."
"Nothing. They should have sat separately, but the original clan was a little too noisy. I can't stand it when I'm old." The old lady shook her head carelessly, and her tone was relaxed and complained a little.
If others would have believed the old lady's words, but Mu Xiran caught the darkness in the old lady's eyes, but the old lady had nothing to say. She couldn't force her to ask. Let it be.
It's just that everything happened too suddenly. When Mu Xi'an's carriage drove halfway up the mountain, the horse suddenly went crazy, raised its front hoof, shook its body, and then ran wildly with the carriage behind him, quickly throwing the two carriages behind him far away.
"Qin Han, what's going on?" Mu Xilan tried to lean against the carriage behind him, raised the curtain, and saw the branches quickly receding in front of him, which showed that the speed of flattery was already very fast.
Qin Han sweated heavily and pulled the reins tightly to control the force, but the horse was no longer at the command. "Madam, someone must have drugged the horse. Let Qin Yi jump down with his wife in his arms, otherwise it will only be more dangerous to run like this!"
"Madam, I will protect you first to jump down." Qin Yi immediately hugged Mu Xilan's body.
"Qin Yi, you take your aunt down first. Auntie can't stand such bumps. Mu Xiran resolutely withdrew Qin Yi's hand and looked at her aunt's panicked face. She became more and more uneasy.
The eldest lady also refused, "No. You have a body, let Miss Qin take you down first. I still hold on."
Qin Yi grabbed Mu Xiran's arm from beginning to end and refused to let go. "Madam, you are my life. If my subordinates can't protect you, the prince will not spare me." After saying that, he walked out of the carriage with Mu Xi'an in his arms.
All the mountains are mountain roads nearby. The mountain roads are bumpy and full of dead stones. What's more, it is not easy to jump from the fast-running carriage and protect Mu Xilan's lower abdomen.
"Qin Yi, jump quickly, someone is surrounding!" Qin Han listened to the approaching murderous atmosphere with a sensitive feeling.
The old lady clasped her fingers tightly to the railing wood, and all the broken hair on her forehead was blown up.
At this moment, the fifth prince rushed out of the woods on horseback, pointed to the carriage with red eyes and ordered, "Don't let anyone go, shoot me!" He is going to watch Mu Xi's death at his feet.
"Jump!" Qin Han shouted angrily again, and this time he directly stretched out his hand and pushed Qin Yi out.
"Give me a shot, don't let anyone go!" The voice of the fifth prince came next.
For a moment, the black arrows on the mountain road shot straight at the carriage like a rainforest, without any gap.
Qin Yi jumped out of the carriage with Mu Xilan in her arms and protected Mu Xilan's lower abdomen. Seeing that the black arrow had been shot, she was ready to turn over and block it, but before she got up, it was dark in front of her eyes and was hugged by a figure.
