Chapter 578: The Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra
"Dai Guogong, please!"
After getting off the ox cart, the steward who led the chess players into the house came out, saluted respectfully, and ordered: "Feed some water to the cattle of the acting prince"
He said to Su Ziji again: "Mrs. enters the competition hall, and the villain invites Grandpa Guo to enter the Mei Hall to rest!"
Su Ziji listened and went, but saw that spring was coming, although there was a drizzle, the hedges of the sandwich road gave birth to young shoots, and the pavilions and pavilions were distributed, and he nodded secretly in his heart.
Because Su Ziji is the representative of the country, his status is noble, he enjoys the plum hall exclusively, and some people offer tea, snacks and fruits, and there is also a brazier in the corner.
As for the tea and snacks, Su Ziji didn't move. Take a book with you and just sit and read.
At this time, on the way out of the city, an ox cart much larger than the ordinary ox cart was slowly walking accompanied by the guards.
In the drizzle, a slender jade hand opened a corner of the car window, half of his face was exposed, and he looked out.
"This ruthless person, didn't even send it to me?" Along the way, she opened the window from time to time to look, and every time she was disappointed.
depressed put down the window, in this huge carriage, in addition to her, there are two maids, kneeling down, Princess Xinping sat on what looked like a small bed, and there was a table with sumptuous food on it, and a small bookshelf, with a bookbook, which was available for her to relieve her boredom on the road.
Although she was snubbed before, but since she took the initiative to ask to enter the Tao, it is obvious that the treatment has returned, and the emperor has rewarded a lot of things when he left Beijing, in addition to the Taoist temple that has been repaired at a very fast speed, as well as gold, silver and jade and all kinds of usable things, even this luxurious ox cart was given by the emperor, so that Princess Xinping could take it to and from the Taoist temple outside Beijing and the princess's mansion in Beijing.
But Princess Xinping is no longer the same as she used to be, and when she received this ox cart, her first reaction was not to be happy, but to think: "My father rewarded me with this ox cart, is he beating me?"
It is difficult to recover from the water, and it is difficult for those who have been forced to grow up to have simple happiness.
"Princess, you're about to leave the city, and someone is coming to see you off, do you want to stop?" said the guard outside.
When Princess Xinping heard this, her heart moved, but when the guard said who the person who sent her was, her mood was lost again.
"In the name of my father, I stayed in the Taoist temple, and I stayed for a short time. Princess Xinping didn't get out of the car, only opened the window, swept her eyes, and saw that all the noble daughters and sons who had close contacts with her in the past, but there was no acting prince among them.
She didn't even come to the city gate, so it was obvious that the people she was waiting for would not come again.
Qingyun Mountain is not far from the capital, out of the city gate less than 20 miles, you can reach the hill, the whole mountain has been assigned to the princess of Xinping, when you arrive at the car, you find that even the steps at the foot of the mountain have been trimmed, it is very neat, it can be seen that in a short period of time, the Ministry of Rites responsible for the project has really worked hard.
Looking back, the smoke and rain were hazy, and there was still no one, Xinping took a deep breath: "Go up!"
Supported by the maid, holding an umbrella, step by step up the steps, half a pillar of incense is not enough, and then he walks to the Taoist temple that has been given the name of Xinpingguan.
The whole temple is not so much a Taoist temple as a small princess's mansion.
A total of five into the courtyard, the outside looks already red walls and green tiles, the area is huge, the ground is paved with very neat large rock bricks, is facing the courtyard is the main hall on the surface, walk in, you can see the statue of God, the main hall is splendidly repaired.
Passing through this hall, the courtyard behind it is all the pattern of the princess's mansion.
There are exquisite corridors, small bridges and flowing waters, garden rockeries, and even a stage in a small courtyard, and the largest courtyard where the princess lives, the piano room, the tea room, and the place to enjoy singing and dancing, are all the same.
When she arrived, all the houses had already been smoked with warm incense, and the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities on the walls were hung like money, and even the cups were no worse than the porcelain and jade of the princess's mansion.
The female officer, who had arrived a step earlier to clean up the house, saw the princess standing at the door, only lazily looking inside, with no joy on her face, so she hurriedly comforted: "Princess, although the conditions here are simpler, you only need to live for a few months, and you can return to Beijing freely in the future." ”
Originally, this entry was to avoid some gossip, and open a net to catch the rain, you know, the people are like the new and hate the old, a rumor will be dispersed after a few months, if there are still people who say, there is a great suspicion that it is a thief who spreads rumors.
That's why the female officer said that she could go back after a few months.
"Humph!"
But I don't know what came to mind after hearing this, Princess Xinping's face was a little pale, and she entered with an expressionless face, and when she arrived at the bedroom location, she suddenly saw a white shadow flashing.
"Hey, there is a tanuki in the Taoist temple?" I couldn't see it clearly for a while, and I suspected that it was a tanuki.
"Princess, how can there be a tanuki? "Cats and dogs in ancient times, nobles are not raised, for fear of causing infectious diseases, even if they are raised, they are not directly raised, and now the Taoist temple is newly repaired, who dares to raise?
"Really?" the princess frowned, and glanced around, not seeing the tanuki, but a book on the table.
This is not a study, where are the books?
Originally, she just picked it up and looked at it, but just one glance, she was shocked.
Pinching the scroll, her long eyelashes blinked, Princess Xinping turned her head and said to the female officials and maids, "I'm a little tired, you guys retreat first." ”
"Yes!"
When the female officer and the maid retreated, Princess Xinping did not rest, but opened the book in her hand and looked at it carefully.
"It's not like his words. After looking closely, the original hope was suddenly disappointed, making Princess Xinping's face even paler.
Because she had received poems written by Su Ziji, Princess Xinping had a deep impression of Su Ziji's words, even if the words on this manuscript made her startled when she saw it at first sight, but if she looked closely, she couldn't find anything similar to the person's handwriting.
But to say that it must not be written by him, it may not be, after all, for calligraphy and painting, it is not difficult to change to other handwriting.
Princess Xinping wanted to put the manuscript down, but because she was curious about the contents, she still read it.
"This is actually a Taoist scripture?"
There is not a single word on the cover, and only by reading the contents can you know what the manuscript is copied.
It is mentioned in the content that this is the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra".
Whether it is the name, or the content, it is suitable for women to read, although Princess Xinping usually likes to have fun, but she has also read a lot of books since she was a child, after reading this "Jade Girl's Heart Sutra", she only feels that her lips and teeth are fragrant, and the content is mysterious, so that she can't help but want to read it a second time after reading it once.
After a long time, I read Princess Xinping several times before I called someone in.
"Whose book is this?" asked Princess Xinping.
The female officer carefully identified it and hesitated: "The slave doesn't know, but this room didn't ask for books originally, maybe the maid put the books here by mistake when they carried them to the study." ”
Next door to this room is the study, and it makes sense to say that I mistakenly put a book here when I put a book in it.
"Really?" Princess Xinping lowered her eyes, and her hand subconsciously clenched the book.
