Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 171 A trip to Qingyun Temple

There were too many people coming together this time, so Jia Qiong first went to Qingyun Temple to find Xuan Zhenzi.

Riding a fast horse, it took more than an hour to arrive.

Qingyun Temple is still the same as it was a few years ago, with beautiful scenery, quiet and peaceful, like a paradise in the world.

Zhike Taoist knew Jia Qiong and led him directly to Xuanzhenzi Courtyard.

The old Taoist was watering the flowers in the courtyard. When he saw Jia Qiong, he smiled and said, "No wonder I hear magpies chirping today. It turns out there are distinguished guests visiting."

Jia Qiong bowed and said, "Master, how is your health lately?"

Xuan Zhenzi returned the courtesy and said, "Thank you for your help, Jia Tan is more and more concerned about you. The old Taoist's body is still strong. Why are you free to come to my place today?"

Jia Qiong said: "Master, I came today to ask for something.

A few years ago, I was invited by the master to stay here for a while, and I have never forgotten the scenery here.

Now that the weather is hot, I want to take my family to stay in a courtyard by the lake for a while.

There were a lot of people this time, and I was afraid that it would disturb the master’s spiritual practice, so I came here to ask for help.

Xuan Zhenzi smiled and said: "This is not a big deal, but this Qingyun Temple does not belong to the old Taoist alone, and it is not good for you to live here in vain.

Jia Qiong was well prepared and took out a 1000 tael banknote and said: "We can stay here for a month at most, and we don't have to worry about all the food and drink expenses.

I heard that Qingyun Temple often helps poor people. I would like to ask the Taoist priest to help me do some good deeds with the money to accumulate some good fortune. "

The old Taoist priest quickly took out the banknote from Jia Qiong's hand, stuffed it into his sleeve, bowed and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, if Jia Tan has such a kind deed, he will be rewarded with blessings in the future."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Master moves so quickly, it seems that his body is indeed very strong.

I have one more thing to ask for. You are an expert in medicine. Two sisters in my family have serious illnesses. Please help me to see if they can be cured. "

Xuan Zhenzi nodded when he heard this and said: "The old Taoist must do his best. You can first tell me about their illnesses."

"Thank you, Master."

Early the next morning, the Jia family set out.

Because Qingyun Temple is a small place, the only elders who came this time were Jia Mu and Aunt Xue, and the only men were Jia Qiong, Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan.

There are many female relatives, including Wang Yuyan, Qin Keqing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun and Weirui.

Plus their respective personal maids, plus a few cooks and servants, there were thirty or forty people.

These little girls, who rarely traveled far away, were so excited that they were chattering and laughing all the way.

Except for Jia Qiong, Wang Yuyan, and Xu Weirui, everyone else came to Qingyun Temple for the first time.

When they arrived at the place, everyone got off the car and were immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery around them.

Aunt Xue praised: "The scenery here is really beautiful, it's hard for Brother Qiong to find it."

Yuanyang helped Jia Mu out of the car. Jia Mu looked around and said with satisfaction: "It's a good place.

The scenery is nice and cool, and it’s not worth the bumpy journey for me as an old woman. "

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "No, after riding in the carriage for so long, I am really tired and hot.

Originally, I thought that if the place was not good, I would have to settle the score with Brother Qiong’s daughter-in-law, but now it’s hard to say that. "

Wang Yuyan pulled Qin Keqing and said, "Look, our host has invited us out.

I will definitely not bring her with me next time, so as not to save her from choosing our gifts again. "

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two of them to apologize: "Good sister, I was just joking.

Next time if something like this happens again, be sure to take me with you. "

The interaction between the two caused everyone to burst into laughter, dispelling the fatigue of the journey.

On the other side, the little girls and maids were already discussing excitedly in twos and threes.

Shi Xiangyun and Xu Weirui, the two most naughty ones, had already run to the lake together to watch the fish.

Daiyu and several others were looking at the scenery, pointing at the scenery.

Tanchun pointed to the mountain opposite and said, "Sister Lin, look at the mountain peak over there, it looks like a crane."

Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "The natural scenery is so miraculous that it cannot be compared to the man-made scenery." Xue Baochai said to Xichun: "Sister Xichun can paint such a beautiful scenery."

Jia Qiong said loudly at this time: "The courtyard of Qingyun Temple only has fifteen guest rooms, and one room for each person is definitely not enough.

The old lady and her aunt will live in one room each, and Sister-in-law Zhu and Lan'er will live in the same room.

The remaining people share a room, so everyone can find their own roommates and choose their own rooms. "

As soon as Jia Qiong finished speaking, Xu Weirui said: "Sister Xiangyun and I share a room."

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Since there are few rooms, Baochai can share a room with me."

"Yes, mother."

Yingchun said to Xichun: "Fourth sister, let's live together."

"Okay, second sister."

Tanchun pulled Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, let's share a room."

"it is good."

When Wang Xifeng saw that only Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing were left, she leaned into Wang Yuyan's ear and said with a smile: "It seems that I have a room of my own.

You two need to find a room with a bigger bed so that you don't have to squeeze in. "

Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, and said unwillingly: "Your bed is quite spacious. We can't squeeze him in, so just let him go to yours."

Wang Xifeng didn't expect Wang Yuyan's counterattack to be so sharp, and she blushed with embarrassment.

Qin Keqing on the side couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's better for Sister-in-law Feng and I to live in the same room, so that someone will always worry about us."

Wang Xifeng said in embarrassment: "You two are really a family, and you teamed up to bully me."

Seeing that everyone had been assigned, Jia Qiong said to Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, "You two live in one room."

Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan realized that they wanted to live together, and they were reluctant.

However, this was Jia Qiong's arrangement, and they did not dare to object.

Jia Qiong continued: "The wives all live in the North Courtyard, and the kitchen is also in the North Courtyard.

The middle courtyard is the largest and is used by ancestors and aunts.

The remaining three courtyards are all similar, so you can choose one yourself.

After traveling all morning, everyone must be hungry.

This is our first meal of vegetarian food in Guanli, and someone will bring it to us soon. "

After Jia Qiong made arrangements, everyone found their own rooms and asked the maid and mother-in-law to move their luggage into the room.

It was indeed very hard to travel in the hot weather. Everyone had a simple vegetarian meal together and then went back to their rooms to rest.

When everyone woke up, Jia Qiong led everyone to visit Qingyun Temple.

Xuan Zhenzi had already led a group of Taoists in the audience to greet him at the mountain gate.

The old Taoist priest hit the whisk, bowed and said, "My poor Taoist priest, Xuan Zhenzi, has met Mrs. Rongguo."

Jia Mu looked at Xuan Zhenzi carefully and asked, "Have we met this Taoist priest before?"

Xuan Zhenzi smiled and said: "Forty years ago, Pindao accompanied his master to the house to perform a prayer ceremony."

Mother Jia suddenly said: "No wonder I look so good. Who is your master?"

Xuan Zhenzi lowered his head slightly and said, "My master, Si Zhen, is named Zhen Juzi."

Mother Jia said: "The strange saying sounds familiar to me at Qingyun Temple. It turns out to be the treasured land of Master Tianyu. How is the old immortal doing now?"

Xuan Zhenzi said: "My master, Taoist Master Tongxuan, emerged 15 years ago and enjoyed the true fruit of Taoism.

All distinguished guests, please come inside. Pindao has prepared clear dew tea.

This is a recipe left by my master, and it is a wonderful way to relieve summer heat. "

Jia Mu nodded and said: "After climbing the mountain for a while, I am really thirsty now, so let's go and ask the Taoist Master for a cup of tea first."
