Chapter 30: Red Maple Mountain Citron Temple
There are several temples near the capital, but the most popular and visited one is the Xiangcheng Temple on Hongfeng Mountain.
Not only ordinary people like to come here, but also dignitaries like to come here. Everyone says that the Bodhisattva in Xiangcheng Temple is the most effective.
Today is the annual Guanyin birthday, and the Xiangcheng Temple is even more lively.
The road out of the city was filled with horse-drawn carriages from various households and mansions, one after another, in an endless stream.
The carriage of the General Guarding the Country's Mansion was also moving forward bit by bit in this crowded convoy.
In the end, Shan Xi was unable to ride on Song Qingci's carriage.
When she was at the gate of the mansion, she was forced back by her eldest brother's eyes. She didn't want to squeeze with Shan Ruoyan, so she had to follow her mother into her mother's carriage.
"Mother, look at my elder brother! I just want to ride in the same carriage with my sister-in-law, but he doesn't want to. He is not my elder brother anymore." Shan Xi said angrily. She didn't admit it, she was afraid of her elder brother's cold eyes.
Lou covered her mouth and chuckled, "You, can't you see that your elder brother doesn't want you to pester your sister-in-law?"
"Why? I have a good relationship with my sister-in-law, isn't that good?" "This elder brother is too stingy, I can't accept him."
"Maybe your elder brother is afraid that you will lead your sister-in-law astray." After saying that, Lou couldn't stop laughing.
"Mother, you are still laughing. How could I have led my sister-in-law astray? Oh, no, how could I have led her astray? How could I have been bad?" She realized it halfway through her words and quickly changed her words.
Lou looked at her eldest daughter and couldn't help shaking her head. The eldest son's marriage had been settled. This time she went to Xiangcheng Temple to pray for the marriage between her second son and the eldest daughter.
I don't ask for wealth and glory, but I just want everything to go smoothly.
Although there were many people in the carriage on the way to Xiangcheng Temple, and although the carriage was moving slowly, it never stopped. Therefore, everyone arrived at the foot of Hongfeng Mountain safely.
Xiangcheng Temple is located halfway up Hongfeng Mountain. It is a thousand-year-old temple.
The carriage can only go to the foot of the mountain. People have to walk the rest of the way up the mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain road is not steep, and the steps are very flat. It is a great pleasure to climb up slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way.
As soon as everyone in the general's mansion got off the carriage and gathered together, they heard someone shouting towards them, "Yunzhi, Yunzhi. Over here, over here."
Everyone looked over and saw a young man in white approaching.
He saluted the old lady, Lou and Qi, "Junior Xiao Wenye greets the old lady, Madam Shan Da and Madam Shan Er." His every move showed his elegance.
The little girls were all dazzled when they saw it.
Look, Dan Ruoyan's eyes began to light up.
"It's Doctor Xiao. I'm honored." Xiao Wenye didn't dare to accept the old lady's greeting, so he quickly stepped aside and said with a smile, "You are embarrassing me, old lady. How can I be called a miracle doctor? You can just call me Wild Boy."
Xiao Wenye came here today with his mother and sister. When he was bored and wanted to go out, he saw Shan Li and ran over without thinking.
"Dr. Xiao is indeed a handsome and charming man." Qi had also heard of Xiao Wenye's name. Not only was he an extraordinary doctor, but he was also related to the Queen's family, the Zhou family.
"Heroes emerge young, so you are not worthy of the title of miracle doctor. You are the disciple of the master of Miracle Doctor Valley and the youngest national expert of Dachen Country." The colorful sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Lou also praised it aloud.
As a result, even though Xiao Wenye prided himself on being thick-skinned, he couldn't handle it.
He kept winking at Shan Li, but Shan Li seemed not to notice and ignored him completely.
The old lady saw Xiao Wenye's discomfort and said, "You young people, go up the mountain first. I am old and can't compare with you. I will go up slowly behind you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenye felt as if he had been pardoned. He thanked the old lady and then pulled Shan Li up the mountain.
Shan Ruoyan saw Xiao Wenye leaving. She was a little anxious and wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Aunt Ding.
What's the matter with following a man in public?
------
Xiao Wenye dragged Shan Li away from the only way up the mountain and walked into the side trail to avoid the large crowd.
"The woman standing next to you just now, is she your new wife, the eldest daughter of the Song family?" On the day of Shan Li's wedding, Xiao Wenye happened to be away from the capital, so he did not drink his wedding wine.
Shan Li looked at him without saying anything.
Xiao Wenye is a person who can talk to himself for a long time if you ignore him. If you pay attention to him, it's over, he can't stop at all.
"Your wife is pretty. And I heard she is the most famous lady in the capital. You are so lucky."
When Shan Li heard Xiao Wenye talking about the most famous lady in the capital, he couldn't help but smirk. The previous one might be the most famous lady, but the current one, it's not an exaggeration to say that she is the most chivalrous woman in Dachen.
With her fighting power, let alone in Dachen, even in Dayan and Nanyue, I am afraid there is no one who can match her.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you laughing at? Are you thinking of something you don't want to tell anyone?" Xiao Wenye's eyes revealed obvious mockery and ill intentions.
"Shut up!" Shan Li finally couldn't help it.
"I won't shut up. You must have thought of something good just now. Tell me. We are brothers. There is nothing that cannot be said between brothers." Xiao Wenye bewitched, and his expression was obviously thinking about love.
"Get lost!" Shan Li didn't want to swear in the Buddha's territory, but he really couldn't help it.
"Oh my, you are really too much. I said something and you told me to get out. It's so hurtful." Xiao Wenye took out a fan and pretended to fan himself.
Looking at the fan in his hand, Shan Li frowned. It was only February, why was he fanning himself? Was he mentally ill?
This is what is called a doctor who does not treat himself.
"What are you doing here?" Shan Li didn't believe that he would come to Hongfeng Mountain for no reason. He never prayed to gods or Buddhas.
"Then what are you doing here?" Xiao Wenye asked instead of answering.
"Didn't you see? I came here with my grandmother and my wife." Shan Li answered without any guilt.
"I am here to accompany my mother and sister." Xiao Wenye said this in vain.
The two looked at each other, and then looked away in tacit understanding.
