Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 35 Prayers
The next day, before dawn, the concubine was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by the snow geese.

Ming concubine was sleepy, looking at the dark sky outside the window in a daze, she had already forgotten what Zhou's mother told her to get up early last night, and said, "What's the matter?"

She slept in the Hou Mansion for two nights, but she never had a peaceful night's sleep. This was forcing her to leave.

Xueyan took the clothes and came over, seeing that the concubine's eyes were blurred again, she hurriedly said, "Girl, get up quickly, the old lady believes in Buddhism, she went to Foguang Temple to pray and fulfill her vows, and she went there early, the girls may not be sure." Get up early, if the girl is slow, the old lady will be unhappy."

She was the first to arrive, and the old lady might not be happy.

Ming concubine cursed in her heart, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and asked Xueyan to wait for her to change clothes.

After dressing and washing, I went straight to the Changhui Courtyard. It was so bright at this time, Ming concubine felt that it was too early, but when I arrived at the Changhui Courtyard, I realized that it was really late.

Both Mrs. Su and the second wife arrived early, and they were asking how the big kitchen was prepared. The old lady believed in Buddhism, and would recite sutras for half an hour every morning after getting up and before going to bed at night. Every three months, I will personally go to Foguang Temple to pray for blessings. For more than ten years, there have been no exceptions.

Mrs. Su attributed the improvement of Dingbei Hou's old illness to Ming concubine. The reason no one would believe it was because the old lady had been praying for Lord Hou for more than ten years. The second wife and the others must be the sincerity of the old lady Let the Bodhisattva be moved, and be kind to Dingbeihou.

In this matter, Mrs. Su couldn't argue with the second wife, and if she won the fight, it was due to the obliteration of the old lady.

After a while, Mother Wang helped the old lady out, she walked in front, Su Shi and the others followed closely behind.

Ming concubine didn't like to mix in the crowd, she walked slowly aside, felt a gaze fixed on her, Ming concubine looked to the left, and saw a girl standing under the big pagoda tree over there, followed by a maidservant .

Before dawn, the servant girl was still holding the lamp, and suddenly saw a girl standing there, waving at her, Ming concubine felt a little panicked, and asked Xi'er, "Who is that standing over there?"

Xi'er looked around and said with a smile, "It's the second girl and her maid, Si'er, the second girl is saying hello to you, why don't you say hello?"

Really greeted her, Ming concubine stretched out her hand and shook it, even though she was far away, she could feel that the girl was very happy, because she shook her hand faster.

Watching them walk away, Concubine Ming felt the disappointment on the girl's face. She glanced at Xie Wanhua who was supporting the old lady in the distance, and asked, "Why doesn't Second Miss go?"

Xi'er sighed, and said sympathetically, "Second Miss had a high fever when she was young and became mute. The Second Wife didn't allow her to go out. When there were no guests, she could still walk around the inner courtyard. If there were guests, she was not even allowed out of the courtyard door."

My concubine suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and the aphasia caused by high fever was mostly caused by meningitis, which belonged to organic damage, and the vocal cords and central nervous system were irreversible. The chance of being cured in the previous life was very small, let alone the ancient times when medical skills were underdeveloped. .

She was not allowed to go out, not even the gate of the courtyard. The second wife was too cruel to her daughter.

However, this Hou's mansion is a little too evil. Xi'er said that the Hou's mansion is harmonious, but the young master inside is missing, she is half-fool and falls off the cliff, and the second girl is speechless. From her point of view, it is clearly a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

Because the last time I went to Foguang Temple in a carriage and disappeared in the end, although Su agreed to let Ming Concubine go, she was afraid of repeating the same mistakes. No, she prepared a soft sedan chair for Ming Concubine.

The cramped sedan chair is bumpy, not much better than a carriage, but you get used to it after sitting for a long time.

Woke up early and didn't sleep well, drowsy, Ming concubine fell asleep, and when she woke up again, she was already at the foot of Foguang Temple Mountain.

Although the sky was already bright, it was still early, but many people came to Foguang Temple to pray.

Foguang Temple is the first Buddhist temple in Kyoto and the largest temple in the Dajing Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Taizu was in trouble and was rescued by the eminent monks of Foguang Temple. Later, the temple was destroyed. The three characters were written by Emperor Taizu himself, magnificent and unparalleled.

When the Ming concubine got out of the soft sedan chair, there was a solemn morning bell, deep and distant, and it was all silent, but there was still the sound of the bell.

Listening to the majestic bell, the restless heart calmed down.

The old lady stepped up the steps, followed by Mrs. Su, followed by the Ming concubines, but the maids did not follow. They had their own business to do and were busy serving porridge and steamed buns.

Climbing up the stairs, the surrounding ancient trees are green and green.

In front of the majestic and majestic Daxiong Palace is a large copper tripod with two people hugging each other. Inside, a stick of incense is thicker than a human arm, and the sandalwood smells very pleasant.

The old lady came to offer incense today, and she sent someone to say hello yesterday, so when she entered the hall, a monk greeted her.

The old lady knelt on the futon and prayed sincerely. When the prayer was over, the monk led them to the side hall, where the old lady recited the scriptures, and Ming concubine and the others were no exception.

Poor Mingyu couldn't kneel at all, and her knees ached after a while.

This kneeling lasted half an hour.

For Ming Yu, life is better than death, but she persisted. She didn't believe in Buddhism before, and she even sneered at the matter of time travel, but it really fell on her, and she believed it even if she didn't believe it.

Mingyu prayed sincerely, hoping to go back, she does not belong here, she wants to go home.

After reading the scriptures, it is to pray for blessings, and then to ask for a lottery.

The old lady held the stick and shook it, and a stick jumped out of it.

The lottery fell right next to Mrs. Su, so she picked it up. On it was the middle lottery, 39 lottery.

I don't know what the signature is, but the old lady used to ask for a signature, a signature, and a signature, which is very common.

Ms. Wang went to pick up the signature and showed it to the old lady, but she didn't know what was written in the signature. Anyway, the old lady was not happy, the smile on her face was gone, and she didn't let anyone release the signature.

The others did not ask for a lottery. The Second Wife looked at Su Shi and asked, "You really don't intend to let Ming Concubine marry the Fourth Prince as a side concubine?"

Su shook her head, "My concubine disagrees, I don't want to force her."

The second wife looked slightly relaxed, and said with a smile, "Then let my concubine ask for a marriage lottery."

"Alright," Su said.

Ming concubine knelt down, imitating the old lady's way of shaking and shaking, and a stick jumped out.

Sign down.

Ming concubine's forehead is drawn together, it's a bit too back, but it seems...she is really back, if anyone can follow her through like her, the universe will be pierced into a sieve long ago.

With such bad luck, it is not surprising that the next lottery was drawn.

Ming concubine thought very openly, or in her bones, she still held a skeptical attitude towards fortune-telling.

But Su's complexion was ugly. Although she had expected that the marriage would not go well, she never thought that it would be a signing.

Su held the bamboo stick and didn't move, the second wife said, "Let's take a look at the signature first, maybe there is a way to resolve it."

There will definitely be nothing good to say about the signing.

Seeing that Mrs. Su didn't speak, the second wife took out the lottery in her hand and handed it to the servant girl, and ordered, "Go and get the lottery."

The maid nodded and turned around with the bamboo stick.

Xi'er helped Ming Concubine up, and there was an ouch from over there, the servant girl and a girl bumped into each other, Ming Concubine turned around when she heard the sound, and saw the servant girl picking up the signed letter that fell on the ground, rubbing her arm and coming over.

The girl who was bumped had a bad look on her face. If it wasn't for Foguang Temple, she would probably have scolded the servant girl for not having eyes.

The servant girl took the lottery and handed it to Mrs. Su, before Mrs. Su reached out her hand, Mrs. Ming took it first.

I saw that the signature read: Go straight up to the heavy building to hide, surrounded by thorns and forests;

The signature is average, but the lottery is won.

It's not her signature.

Just as Ming concubine came to her senses, the girl who was bumped over there smiled, "I thought my signature was bad enough, but I didn't expect there to be worse than me."

As she spoke, a girl surrounded her and asked, "What's the difference?"
