Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Chapter 92: Gokoku Temple

In the evening, Gu Jingyun personally cooked a sumptuous dinner. After the two of them finished eating, they moved the reclining chairs and came out to blow the breeze in the yard, admiring the crescent moon in the sky and the chrysanthemums on the ground.

Gu Huaijin, who was in the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, was not in such a good mood. He asked with a gloomy face, “Didn’t find it?”

“Yes, I searched back and forth several times, but I didn’t see the young man who looked like the uncle of the Qin family. Second master, Uncle Qin has been in Qiongzhou for 14 years. When he left, he only had a three-year-old daughter. How could there be any children left in the capital? Or it is unknown if the descendants of the Qin family came to the capital.”

Gu Huaijin lowered his eyes, “Maybe I’ve been thinking too much, but I’ve been feeling a little uneasy recently. The boy who looks like him may not be his or the Qin family’s child…” It may also be his.

Thinking of the eldest son who was born in Qiongzhou and grew up in Qiongzhou, Gu Huaijin’s heart is complicated, but more disturbed.

With Qin Xinfang’s personality, will the parents and children who grew up beside him recognize him?

Father and son turned against each other, just thinking about Gu Huaijin couldn’t help but feel chills, he didn’t want to see that child.

But in a poor place like Qiongzhou, how could Qin Xinfang let his sister and nephew live there all the time.

It has been fourteen years, and in a few years, the child will grow up, and he should come back, right?

Gu Huaijin clenched his fists and asked, “What is Lekang doing now?”

“The third master is at the second wife’s place. Tomorrow the third master’s academy will go out to Yeshan for an outing. The second wife has something to say, I’m afraid she has something to say.”

Gu Huaijin nodded slightly, “How is his recent schoolwork?”

Changshun had a smile on his face, and said proudly: “Gu Daru praised the third master again, saying that the third master’s essay has improved again, and he will be able to pass the exam next year.”

Gu Huaijin nodded with satisfaction, fortunately Lekang was like him and taught by a great Confucianist, so he would never succeed. Even if he came back, he would have to subdue to him if he was not as capable as his younger brother.

It shouldn’t be difficult to suppress him with Lekang’s ability, not to mention Lekang has the support of the Gu family and the Fang family.

Gu Huaijin calmed down a little and said, “Although I haven’t found it, I’m sure I’m not mistaken. You send someone to guard the Zhuangyuan Building and that street, and once you see a suspicious person, immediately find out his identity and residence. .”

Changshun bowed in response.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu had a good night’s sleep, and Li Baolu jumped up early the next morning to practice the exercises. Gu Jingyun couldn’t do the Wuqinxi for the time being, so he took this book and read it in the yard in the morning.

After Li Baolu finished practicing, he also put away his books, and the two went into the kitchen to make breakfast together.

Li Baolu was in charge of the food they made in the morning, while Gu Jingyun made some snacks to take on the road.

They decided to go to the most famous Huguo Temple in the capital today to play.

Li Baolu helped him knead the flour and went to make her breakfast. Gu Jingyun carefully kneaded the flour and made small dumplings of different shapes…

By the time the young couple had eaten and drank and went out with a small backpack on their backs, Father Sun had already jumped out of the top of the mountain and was happily lighting up the earth.

Li Baolu rented a donkey cart and went to Huguo Temple.

Huguo Temple is located on Qingfeng in the capital. Because it is a national temple, the incense is prosperous, and there are countless pilgrims who travel to Shangxiang for outing.

The donkey cart of the two of them could not move before they reached the foot of the mountain, and the traffic in front of them was full of cars and carriages!

Gu Jingyun lifted the curtain and glanced at the vigorous scholars in Confucian shirts. He asked the driver curiously, “What day is it today, and why are there so many scholars?”

“The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, maybe the major academies are doing competitions,” said the driver, not surprised. “During the festival, the academies love to hold competitions. And even if the academies don’t organize competitions, those students will organize competitions in private. of.”

Gu Jingyun nodded thoughtfully, pulled Li Baolu and said, “There is a lot of traffic in the front, so let’s get off here.”

Li Baolu hurriedly put on the small backpack and got off the bus, settled the bill with the driver, and then walked up the mountain with Gu Jingyun.

Although there were heavy traffic jams and many pedestrians, there was no traffic jam, and everyone could swing up the mountain from a distance.

The car has a lane, and the people are humane. Li Baolu nodded with satisfaction. This is very good. Unless you encounter a gangster who is not afraid of Shuntianfu, most people do not dare to drive the carriage to the sidewalk.

Most of the students who were blocked on the road were students who came to go out for an outing. They saw people walking around on the sidewalk, but their cars didn’t move. , let’s walk up the mountain!”

Hula and a group of people jumped out of the carriage in response, and went up the mountain in a mighty manner, blocking the sidewalk at once.

Gu Jingyun couldn’t help but chuckle, while Li Baolu sighed, “It’s great to be young!”

Gu Jingyun patted her head with a fan, “You are younger than them.”

“The body is smaller than them, but the heart is old.”

“If your mind is the same age as your body, I won’t worry about you anymore. Let’s go, the people behind you will come up in a while, and we will be blocking you.”

So sad to say that her mental age is not twelve years old!

Li Baolu jumped up to catch up with Gu Jingyun, and suggested: “I heard that the scenery of Mount Ye outside the city is better, where the mountains are connected to the mountains, there are few people in Jingmei, let’s go there tomorrow, the Huguo Temple is full of people, who are we? To see the scenery, or to see the people?”

“We’re here to see the Buddha.” Gu Jingyun smiled and said, “It’s okay to go to Yeshan, but not for the past few days. It will start to rain tomorrow in the capital. There are many mountains on Yeshan, so be careful of landslides. We will go after the rain. ”

“Great, we don’t have to go out when it rains. Let’s go back and stock up on more food at night, so that we don’t even have to go out to buy groceries.”

Gu Jingyun turned around and left.

Huguo Temple attracts so many students not because of the Buddha in the temple, but because Huguo Temple releases chrysanthemums by the pond.

Huguo Temple is a national temple. With a wave of the founding emperor’s generous hand, he gave the farmland under Huguo Temple to Huguo Temple to make temple fields. The emperors of all dynasties followed suit, and each generation gave something. Slowly, The entire Qingfeng and the eight-mile-round ground at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain have become Huguo Temple.

In addition to the prosperous incense, Huguo Temple has expanded rapidly. Originally, it was just an ancient temple on the middle of the mountain. Now, Huguo Temple has been expanded into four floors.

The first floor is just down the mountainside, where the monks will entertain the nobles who come to sleep and offer incense. Four courtyards are also arranged here for the pilgrims who stay overnight.

The second floor is halfway up the mountain, which is not only the original site of Huguo Temple, but also the current Daxiong Hall.

In addition to the Daxiong Palace to the left, there is a large peach and plum garden, which can’t be seen at a glance. When spring comes, it will be like silver clouds and fragrant flowers. It is one of the best choices for the wealthy and nobles in the capital to play blind dates.

On the third floor and the fourth floor, there are Buddhas such as Ksitigarbha Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, etc. The side hall also offers Guanyin, one hundred and eight Arhats…

In short, all the Buddhas of the Buddhist family are complete.

The liberation pond is on the third floor, that is, on the mountainside. There is a spring there. The monks in the temple dug a liberation pond around the spring, and built a pavilion for rest beside the liberation pond. The grounds below are all opened as flower beds, where chrysanthemums and magnolias are planted.

Every year when the Mid-Autumn Festival falls, Huguo Temple also buys a large number of potted chrysanthemums from Baoding flower farmers to decorate the chrysanthemum garden here.

The chrysanthemum mountain formed by the overlapping of chrysanthemums is so intense that it burns people’s hearts just by looking at it.

Standing on the gazebo, all of them are chrysanthemums, some are yellow, some are rose red, and some are pink. Li Baolu even saw the green chrysanthemum, which is said to be worth more than 200 taels, and the black chrysanthemum, which is equally valuable.

The fourth floor of Huguo Temple is near the top of the mountain, and after the fourth floor and going up is the most famous plum garden of Huguo Temple.

Plum Garden is the most extensive garden among the three gardens of Huguo Temple, and it is also the most famous plum garden in the capital.

Imagine the arrogant plum blossoms blooming in the windy mountains, how poetic and picturesque it is.

What’s more, an open house made of thatch was built on the top of the mountain. In the cold winter, the literati and poets sat in the cold wind while enjoying the plums and drinking tea. Thinking about it, they shivered.

Li Baolu stood under the shaded plum tree and said in a low voice, “Huguo Temple is very good at making money.”

Gu Jingyun smiled lightly, stroking the trunk of the plum tree and said, “It’s just that everyone takes what they need. If Huguo Temple doesn’t do it, someone else will do it. It’s better to let it do it than someone else.”

He took Li Baolu’s hand and said, “Let’s go, let’s also go to Juyuan to see, my uncle often taught me that there are people outside people, there are heaven outside, and the capital is the place where Da Chu’s literary talents gather, and there are many talents, I really want to see their level.”

“The Beijing Academy is prosperous, and the Guozijian has long been run down. It is said that the two most powerful academies in the capital are Songshan Academy and Qingxi Academy,” Li Baolu said about the news she had inquired, “Songshan Academy is a royal holding, okay. Although it is good, there are also many constraints. Qingxi Academy is the academy that my aunt, aunt and mother went to. I don’t know if the people from the station and the two major academies are here today.”

Gu Jingyun said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: “Come on, now, isn’t that right?”

Li Baolu followed his gaze and saw two groups of young people wearing different clothes facing each other, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Gu Jingyun pointed to the group of people wearing the brocade robes with water splashes from the Moon White Mountain and said, “It’s from Qingxi Academy. This school uniform has not been changed for decades. My uncle has a set, and this school uniform was designed by my grandfather. what?”

Li Baolu was embarrassed. She felt that her grandfather was acting aggressive. She used white as her school uniform, and there were still landscape paintings on it.

Gu Jingyun pointed to the students in bright red on the opposite side and said, “That’s a student of Songshan Academy. After grandpa resigned from Songshan Academy, the position of mountain chief was taken over by Huang Concubine. The eldest princess loves red very much, so the school uniform of Songshan Academy has been changed since grandpa. I haven’t changed colors since I left the job.”

Li Baolu looked at the pile of red with sympathy.

Gu Jingyun took her hand excitedly and said, “Let’s go, let’s go watch.”
