The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 13 Incense (1)
After staying in the palace for two days, Yinzhen packed up his clothes and went out of the palace with Daiyu.In this way, everyone in the palace naturally knew that the emperor wanted Yinzhen to live in the Lin Mansion for a long time.Those who used to be jealous of Empress Xiaoyi and Yinzhen's favor were naturally gloating and did not mention it. Kangxi saw the reactions of the people in the palace but did not have any reaction. This son who was still doting on him was forgotten in the back of his mind.It's just that Shisan often cried and asked Erniang if she wanted her fourth brother or sister, so Zhang Jia could only coax her son helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Yinzhen had lived in the Lin Mansion for nearly three months.Lin Ruhai came to the south of the Yangtze River to take office later, and now he doesn't need to go to court. Apart from the necessary official entertainment, he only concentrates on teaching Daiyu and Yinzhen to study at home.Yinzhen admired Lin Ruhai's knowledge and respected him as a teacher. He was called Mr. Lin on weekdays, but he still called Mr. Lin outside.Accompanied by Daiyu, the Lin family's population is simple but also warm and comfortable. Yinzhen gradually came out of the grief of losing his mother, but that faint expression seemed to have been engraved into his bones, and only in front of Daiyu would he be more sympathetic. Kind of a smile.Although Lin Ruhai had never met the former Yinzhen, he had heard Kangxi say how cute and naughty Yinzhen was under Empress Xiaoyi's lap, but now there is no trace of him.He suddenly lost his adoptive mother and was abandoned by his biological mother, and the imperial father didn't care about it. No matter how careful the Lin family was, it still left an indelible shadow in the heart of the fourth elder brother.Occasionally looking at Yinzhen's calm and ecstatic appearance, Lin Ruhai couldn't help wondering if Kangxi would regret it if he saw the current fourth elder brother.

"Si elder brother, what's wrong in your heart?" Seeing Yinzhen's calm and forbearing appearance, Lin Ruhai still couldn't help but want to explain something.Not to mention the friendship between the emperor and his cousin, Lin Ruhai, who watched his precious daughter running around every day for this brother, also felt that he could no longer be idle.

Yinzhen raised his head from the scroll and respectfully said: "Mr. Xie is concerned. The students are fine." Lin Ruhai sighed lightly and shook his head, disapproving: "Si elder brother is still young, so you can't keep everything in your heart. Stress is in your heart and body and mind Nothing good." Yinzhen also knew that Lin Ruhai really cared about him, he was originally a sensitive person, and living in the Lin family for the past few months, he naturally felt that the people in the Lin family were sincerely treating him well.It's not like ordinary officials and relatives ask for something.

"Fourth elder brother, don't blame the emperor, as an emperor, he has a lot of helplessness." Lin Ruhai said.

Yinzhen was silent for a moment before raising his head and said: "In the past few months, the students have already thought clearly. In the past, Yinzhen was blessed by the emperor's mother and emperor Ama, but he didn't fully understand the helplessness in the royal family. The emperor's father is now alienating the students. For the sake of the students, I just hope that the students can grow up quickly." Lin Ruhai nodded, somewhat relieved that the fourth elder brother still understood the emperor's thoughts after all.It's just... why do you still feel that something is wrong?After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai still didn't notice anything wrong, only when Yinzhen was overly sad for Empress Xiaoyi's death, he didn't say anything more, and continued to teach Yinzhen.

"Daddy...brother..." Daiyu's tender voice was accompanied by a series of crisp bells from far and near, and she reached the door in a short while.Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, stared angrily at the little head that appeared at the door, and said, "Yu'er, why are you bothering me when Daddy is teaching the fourth elder brother again?" Said that today we are going to worship in the temple. No school." Lin Ruhai remembered yesterday that Jia Min said that today the family went to the Jiafu Temple outside the city to offer incense.In addition, Lawyer Zhenhuan, who is now the presiding officer of Jiafu Temple, is also Lin Ruhai's close friend. He has not visited Beijing this time, and will leave Beijing again after the year.It is precisely to take this opportunity to catch up on the past.She glared at Daiyu and said, "Daddy won't punish you this time, and if you commit another crime in the future, I will definitely not forgive you lightly." Daiyu smiled brightly, and said softly, "Daddy is reluctant to punish Yu'er." Lin Ruhai also smiled helplessly. He was really reluctant to part with his only precious daughter.Fortunately, although Daiyu was naughty, she knew how to give orders, otherwise she would have a headache.

Jiafu Temple was first built in the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, but because there is a Longtan behind the temple and there are Zhe trees on the mountain, it has always been called "Tanzhe Temple" by the people.It is known as the folk proverb that "there was Tanzhe Temple first, and then there was Beijing City".In the 25th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi decreed that the abbot monk of Guangji Temple in Fuchengmen, the famous Luzong master, and the monk Zhenhuan who had known him for many years, was the imperial abbot of Tanzhe Temple. Kangxi himself once again offered incense and stay.Since then, Tanzhe Temple has become a royal temple.

When the group of four arrived at the temple, they first went to various Buddhist halls to offer incense.Daiyu also imitated her mother's appearance and burned incense in front of the Buddha to pray that her father and mother would be safe every year, that her brother would be happy every day, and so on.After talking for a long time, none of the wishes were granted to him. Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were both relieved and amused. Jia Min said with a helpless smile: "It can be seen that our Yu'er is also greedy. Making so many wishes is not for the Buddha Are you going to make a joke?" Daiyu blinked her bright eyes and said, "Yu'er sincerely made a wish, so the Buddha would not laugh." Jia Min said: "You have so many wishes, but the Buddha is too busy." Daiyu frowned in distress and said, "Then as long as father and mother are safe and brother is happy. I will talk about the rest of Yu'er later." Everyone who listened laughed again.

After leaving the main hall, Daiyu Youyinzhen admired the scenery in the temple with great interest.This Jiafu Temple is a thousand-year-old temple. Although it is not as famous as Lingyin Temple in the south of the Yangtze River, its scenery is not much better.Daiyu was used to the beauty and elegance of the south of the Yangtze River since she was a child, and she was very curious about the grandeur of the north.Yinzhen was not tired of holding Daiyu all the way, he lowered his head from time to time and whispered a few words to the jade baby in his arms.Lin Ruhai, a group of four, is gentle, elegant, handsome, and Jia Min is also a rare graceful beauty.The two small ones are calm and noble, and the other is exquisite and pleasant, which has attracted the attention of many pilgrims.

"Benefactor Lin, the presiding officer would like to invite you all to have a talk in the back hall." Lin Ruhai and Daiyu Yinzhen were explaining the historical allusion of Jiafu Temple.Lin Ruhai returned a salute and said, "So troublesome little master to lead the way."

After passing through many palaces, the endless stream of pilgrims gradually disappeared.A group of people followed the little monk to the depths of the temple. Although there were few people, the scenery was more peaceful and pleasant.Lin Ruhai couldn't help praising: "Master Zhenhuan knows how to choose a place." Laughter came from the confinement meditation room, and said: "It's not as good as Brother Ruhai these years in Jiangnan." Lin Ruhai didn't show any surprise, and said loudly: "Ruhai Although he is in the south of the Yangtze River, he is also haunted by vulgar things. Although the master is in the middle of the capital, his heart is out of the world, so he is naturally at ease." It turns out that Master Zhenhuan was originally the abbot of the Guangji Temple in the capital, and he became a friend with Kangxi in the past two years. Find such a quiet place.
