This year, Lu Pingwan and Lu Mozhen both settled down in Hanshan Temple and lived a life of hoeing fields, serving flowers and reading scriptures. First time, dear
The Luhou Mansion seems to have completely entrusted Lu Pingwan to the care of Hanshan Temple.
Prince Duan's Mansion seemed to have completely forgotten about Lu Mozhen.
During the day, Lu Pingwan and Lu Mozhen learned to read and play chess under the guidance of Qingkong. He even taught them piano skills. Silk and bamboo are used to sweeten the ear and nourish the spirit. Children of aristocratic families do not need to learn too much. These musicians appear in the ranks and can only play when talking about the wind with friends.
Qingkong also had no intention of teaching them to be without desires. First, Lu Mozhen was born with precocious intelligence and his character had grown to a certain extent. He could only allow him to deviate from the distance before he fully matured. Lu Pingwan didn't need to be special. She really was the most destined person to have a relationship with Buddha.
Lu Pingwan's appearance has changed slightly. The fat on her face has gone away, completely revealing her cute little chin, which is not as fleshy as before. This made Lu Mozhen a little regretful, but he had felt with his hands how smooth and tender Pingping's face was, like tofu.
And he himself has grown a lot taller, and the change is even greater than that of Lu Pingwan. Although he is still thin, he is taller, and there is no hidden anger in his eyebrows, and he looks cold and luxurious.
No matter how dissatisfied Ren Shi was with the old monk, after getting along with him for a year, he had become accustomed to Qingkong's presiding over everything, and he also liked to instigate Lu Pingwan to take care of him. But as long as it was what Lu Pingwan said, he was very willing to listen. As for other people, he had never cared about life or death.
There are many monks in Hanshan Temple, and incense is constantly burning. The whole temple is filled with a faint smell of incense, which cannot be covered by spring flowers and autumn leaves. And the monks obeyed the discipline of their senior monks, and nothing bad ever happened. The temple rules are strict and they are not allowed to have any greed or get into trouble.
After getting along with each other, everyone in the entire temple who had seen Lu Pingwan and Lu Mozhen could say a few words to them. However, the person who spoke was naturally Lu Pingwan.
The courses arranged by Aozora every day are as follows:
Hoe the fields and plant flowers for the temple.
Plant flowers and hoe fields for the temple.
He planted flowers and watered the temple, and was not allowed to bully the presiding officer He'er.
Worship the Buddha devoutly, recite the Book of Songs, read and practice calligraphy.
Another reincarnation, planting flowers and hoeing fields for the temple.
What made Prince Lu most impatient was that he and Lu Pingwan had to attend morning classes with many monks early in the morning. At that time, Lu Mozhen was surrounded by dark clouds and black air, while Lu Pingwan sat on the futon with a smile and looked around, listening to the senior brothers chanting sutras.
She is a little girl, older than everyone else. Many monks in their 30s and 40s are very surprised and happy. They even chant sutras to her during every morning class. The voice is loud and clear. It was something I had never heard before. It was so fast that it seemed like she was singing. Lu Pingwan felt very warm smelling the incense.
As for Little Prince Lu... Little Prince Lu has been suppressed by the chanting voices of his senior brothers.
Lu Pingwan was well-liked, so sometimes junior and senior brothers would come over to help when they were hoeing fields and planting flowers.
for example:
Junior sister, leave that little bug alone and let me do it!
The soil is too hard. Junior sister, let me help you hoe the fields!
The sun is getting hot, junior sister, please go and rest first, I will plant flowers!
Lu Pingwan happily agreed to these.
Prince Lu: Hehehehe.
Sure enough, the most annoying thing is the smelly monk. unhappy.
Although Lu Mozhen didn't like these monks who chanted sutras, the strange thing was that he actually got along very well with the monks in the temple. There were also monks who came over to help him secretly. Lu Mozhen threw it to his senior brother without hesitation, and then looked at Lu Pingwan who was very happy in another small field with a sad look on his face.
The monk who came to help Wu Cuo was waving his hoe and talking to him: "Junior brother, you are so powerful. The master actually agreed to let you practice martial arts with senior brother Wu Cuo." Wu Cuo is the oldest monk in Hanshan Temple. His daily duty is to guard Hanshan Temple.
Wu Hao was a rough guy, and all his disciples knew that except for the nobles' children, ordinary people would not stay here. After seeing how pampered and pampered the children of the aristocratic family were, they felt deeply that they were from a different world. He didn't know there was a word that could be said like this, the difference between clouds and mud.
It is said that Senior Brother Wucuo also came from a famous family before. It seems that something went wrong in his family, so he turned to lead the monkhood. I was thirteen years old when I first came out, and now I am thirty-three years old.
Like this junior brother, he was cold-faced and taciturn.
The senior brother who has never been very talkative was actually willing to let his junior brother practice martial arts with him without even saying much about the host. However, even though they were favored by senior brother Wu Cuo, they couldn't bear the sight of him being beaten until he couldn't get up. However, the junior brother was not afraid. He fell down and crawled, crawled and was beaten. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and was helped back by the boy.
The next day, a host came to talk to him and of course suggested that he should be treated lightly. On the contrary, in the first few days, the junior sister who was very popular in the temple shed tears and eagerly watched them practice martial arts in front of senior brother Wu Cuo. When the junior brother was punched, the junior sister burst into tears, which made Wu Cuo The senior brother couldn't take action at that time.
Later, as time passed, the junior brother was no longer the passive one, and the junior sister also began to applaud and cheer. Speaking of which, junior brother and junior sister can be considered childhood sweethearts, right? Wu Ya thought silently.
Lu Mozhen's face stiffened. Naturally, he couldn't beat an adult at his young age. It was only because of his hard work that Wu Cuo taught him martial arts. His body bones became stronger and stronger, and the heroic spirit between his brows was thick.
"Hey, there have been more donors coming up to the mountain to worship Buddha in the past few days, and there are also many wealthy families who are as lively as before." Wu Yao chatted.
Lu Mozhen glanced at him: "Why, you want to return to secular life."
Wu Wei shook his head violently and denied: "How could it be possible? My mother sent me to the temple when I was born. Now I don't even remember what she looks like. How many people are there in the family? Why should I return to secular life?"
There are mostly abandoned children in their monastery, and there are relatively few who voluntarily become a monk at such a young age like Senior Brother Wucuo.
Lu Mozhen felt that there was no difference between having a mother and not having a mother. Just like him, his biological mother is still alive, but she takes care of the children but does not take care of them, and ignores everything, just like a nun. When Pingping arrived, he cast his eyes on the little girl who was catching insects with his senior brothers. He wondered if something had happened to her family, and he actually let her stay in Hanshan Temple for so long.
But that's okay. If she leaves, he doesn't know how to be tortured if he stays here.
The daylight was fading, and today's homework was completed. The senior brothers who came to help received snacks specially prepared by Aunt Xi and others to thank them for their help. Lu Pingwan also twisted two pieces, one for Lu Mozhen and one for herself. .
Aunt Xi wiped her little hands clean and asked her distressedly: "Girl, are you tired? I just saw the young monk Shiliu carrying away a basket of worms. Could it be that this is what you are doing today?"
I don’t know what kind of homework Qingkong presided over. Apart from literacy and reading, the most I did was farm work. The good girl from her family just hoeed the fields and planted flowers for half a year, and she knew it better than the noble girls from other families. She sighed quietly, and immediately asked Zhili and the others to quickly prepare the food.
Lu Pingwan smiled warmly and didn't say anything bad about hoeing fields and serving flowers to Aunt Xi. She was not born to like this job, but because it was relaxed and quiet, she didn't need to spend too much brainpower or think complicatedly, so she lived a happy life. happy.
She changed her clothes, washed her face and hands, and then sat quietly at the dining table waiting for Lu Mozhen who went to her room to clean up.
As soon as the food was placed on the table, Lu Mozhen rushed over, while Wan Shi and Ruyi were guarding the door. Aunt Xi and others were all very familiar with Lu Mozhen and treated him well. Not only were Lu Pingwan's favorite dishes on the table, but they were also cooked according to his taste.
Lu Pingwan's stomach was already growling. As soon as Lu Mozhen arrived, she softly said: "Brother Zhen, eat quickly." After saying that, she couldn't wait to pick up a small piece of steamed rice noodles and dip it in the osmanthus sauce to eat. got up.
Lu Mozhen knew that she was really hungry when she saw her greedy little look, so she gave Lu Pingwan several pieces of steamed fish without eating first, and the little adult said: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke. Wait a minute, and I will pick out the bones from these pieces of fish for you to eat." Then, he carefully picked out the fish bones for her.
When the two of them were eating, Aunt Xi and the others didn't need to help. Lu Mozhen took good care of her, preferring to let her eat first and then enjoy it herself. Lu Pingwan, who was full at that time, did not leave. Instead, she sat at the table and imitated his example, serving him dishes that she thought were delicious.
When you come and go, you treat each other as your favorite person. Sometimes Lu Pingwan couldn't stand it anymore, so she moved the bench a little closer to Lu Mozhen. He would hold her hand tightly and watch her legs kicking under the table in boredom while eating.
After dinner, Lu Pingwan was painting and writing letters home.
Lu Mozhen watched her quietly painting Hanshan Temple, painting the paintings, grass, Buddha statues, and koi carps in the temple. She spent a lot of money, and she also painted him and her who didn't look alike, and felt a little sad.
"Pingping, are you homesick?" Lu Mozhen asked.
Lu Pingwan drew another sycamore tree and said, "Although the temple is very nice, I haven't seen my father, mother, brother, and the others for a long time."
Lu Mozhen's pupils tightened and her heart beat twice faster. Pingping's words meant that she missed him very much. It also meant that she wanted to go home and leave him. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt particularly disgusted with the people in Luhou's mansion.
Then I heard Lu Pingwan say in a soft voice: "Brother Zhen, do you want to be my guest? I can take you to see the pink flowers in my yard, the pomegranate tree, and the little horse my eldest brother raised for me. horse."
Lu Mozhen was stunned for a moment and went to Pingping's house, what about that...does he need to prepare valuable gifts so that the people in Luhou Mansion would like him more?
He agreed immediately, fearing that Lu Pingwan would take back her invitation to him. "Okay, I will definitely go. If you go back, wait for me in the Hou Mansion and don't run around. If I go to your house and don't see you, I will be angry." Lu Mozhen looked serious. Very seriously.
Lu Pingwan was playing with her and Lu Mozhen's hands under the light of the candlelight, and then nodded briskly and happily: "Okay, okay."
**
Whether they are childhood sweethearts or childhood sweethearts, they are all the tenderness of time.
What a blessing.
The author has something to say:
Lu Qiong asked seriously: "Since he wanted to hide it from the emperor and failed to find Yi, why did he ask to marry my daughter?"
Lu Yu looked like you are stupid. Isn't it normal for young Mu Ai to want to propose marriage? But in order to avoid irritating Lu Qiong even more, he gave a natural reason: "Actually, there is another point that you don't know except for people like us who know best. Compared with our destined Yi, although we will be in pain, they will also It will be affected. Especially when two people meet, if they cannot be together for a long time, it will be very painful for both people."
Lu Qiong was shocked: "What?!"
Lu Yu kindly suggested: "It's okay if we haven't met. If we can't be together after meeting, my son will go crazy, and your daughter will be affected, and her sanity will also be affected. Your family will also be affected. Everything will be fine, and as for the emperor, just blind his eyes and ears and make him less sensitive."
Lu Qiong was shocked by his rebellious words, but the emperor would not do anything for himself, and the emperor even agreed to grant marriage to both of them. If it wasn't Ping Ping, it would be Lu Mo Zhen's Yi. If it were an ordinary family, who would be the worst offender then? Not necessarily. Therefore, compared to his family members, as a minister who knew that the emperor above him was ruthless even if he said he was ruthless, Lu Qiong was silent for a long time.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes: "But don't worry, I won't let this kid come back within a year or two after the engagement."
Lu Qiong saw that he had a plan and felt something was wrong: "You, you told him when you would come back?"
Lu Yu fell silent. At this time, Lu Mozhen had already looked over. Seeing this, Lu Qiong stopped asking further questions. Being able to prevent Lu Mozhen from marrying off his daughter so quickly makes me feel quite happy!
**
When the news came out that the prince of Prince Yu and the noble daughter of Luhou were getting married, and the emperor granted the marriage on the spot in front of the military officials the next day, the whole capital felt like it was exploding. Prince Lu alone was a figure worth talking about. , young and promising, the emperor loved him, and he had a lot of private property. The only thing he was afraid of was his unstable personality, which made people tremble when they came into contact with him.
And most importantly, most people are not optimistic about the marriage between their two families. Especially those who knew something about the clan members would inevitably show some sympathy and sympathy when chatting with Mrs. Hou to inquire about the situation. What's more in my heart is that I don't know if Miss Lu can survive a year or two after getting married.
I heard that Master Guosi also knew the news and specially sent his disciples to give gifts to congratulate him. As for what the gifts were, only Prince Lu and the eldest girl of the Luhou Mansion knew. The master who was deep in the palace also specially arranged to be with the prince and Miss Lu. He was satisfied with the news that on the night of their engagement, the prince fell ill and hit a wall, and had to be tied up.
Just after the lively engagement between the two families, it was said that Prince Lu was going to Cangnan with King Yu Nasha Shen, and they were about to separate just after the engagement. It can be seen that Prince Lu was not very affectionate for Miss Lu, otherwise Where would you be willing to leave? Most of them had the mentality of watching a good show, but due to the high status of the aristocratic families behind them, they only dared to tell a few stories behind their backs, otherwise they would not let it go easily if Lu Qiong caught them.
On the day of departure, Lu Pingwan came to see him off in a warm car. He was far away and did not know when he would return.
Lu Mozhen's eyes were bright and shining as he promised her: "I will come back soon. Come back and marry you."
It was the first time that Lu Pingwan had to be separated from him for so long, and she was very reluctant to leave. However, she knew that if she asked him to stay, he would definitely not leave without saying a word. In fact, Lu Mozhen was the one who was more disgusted with being separated from her.
Even if he leaves now, he has fulfilled his wish, successfully proposed marriage, and avoided the possibility of others coming to propose marriage when he leaves.
Lu Pingwan sighed reluctantly and said softly: "Okay, you must come back early. When I am old enough, I can get married to you."
The last sentence completely encouraged Lu Mozhen. He looked at her with longing and expectation. He really wanted to get on the carriage and kiss her for a while, but in full view of everyone, he could only hold Lu Pingwan's white and soft hand, and there was still a trace of it after letting go. There is a red mark on it.
Lu Mozhen rode his horse and left Kyoto with Lu Yu. From a distance, he looked back at the city gate again. The people in the car stood out under the big tree. When the wind blew, their clothes swayed. That shallow figure would always be his dream in Cangnan.
In the few months since Lu Mozhen left, Lu Pingwan seemed to be lovesick. She gradually lost weight and grew taller. Mrs. Hou stewed many tonics for her in distress.
When dressing up, Zhili specially used light powder to cover up the faint cyan color under her eyes. Today is the last time she enters the academy. After reaching the age of fifteen, most noble girls leave the academy and return to their own small courtyard. , waiting for the time to come, to be married back to her husband's family, and then to take care of her husband, raise her children, and sit in the back house.
Chen Jiaojiao, Feng Yinxiu and others who were enrolled with Lu Pingwan also listened carefully to the teachings of the teachers in the hospital on the last day, and their attitude in class was more serious than ever before. Even when leaving the gate of the college, some girls left sadly with the support of the maid.
Lu Pingwan was even more shocked by one of the girls, who was very insightful and had an aloof and unique personality. The girl said to her maid: "Even if I can no longer come to the academy, I will study by myself at home. As a woman, she should also be full of poems and books, know the geography of the sky, and let the world see that women are not inferior to men, let alone I’m trapped in a small world!”
Maid: "Yes, yes."
Lu Pingwan: "..." Although the academy does not require daily visits, the teachers there teach very comprehensively, and this dynasty did not deny them admission because they were women, otherwise the academy would not have been opened. And what's wrong with staying at home, having people to care for and being loved, eating and drinking, and being comfortable?
Zhi looked over there and seemed to think that the noble girl was not normal, but since she was not familiar with their girl, she just treated it as a strange person. "Girl, go back. If you still can't bear to part with any of the noble ladies, just invite them to your home." Zhi reminded, fearing that Lu Pingwan would become like that strange-looking girl from an aristocratic family in the next moment.
Maybe they are still not used to not being able to see their friends often after leaving the academy, so most of the girls from aristocratic families have already sent out posts in advance to invite their friends to have a party. Lu Pingwan was also invited. The host of the party was Chen Jiaojiao, she She has already been engaged and will be getting married in a month.
At the banquet, the girls were getting older, and the topics they talked about with each other were no longer the immature ones they used to be. Instead, they boldly mentioned a few words about their own or other people's marriages, or talked about what their favorite husband was like, and what he would do if he got married. What kind of wedding dress do you want to wear that day?
Chen Jiaojiao is the master, she speaks boldly, her temper is no different from Jiao Didi before, and her mouth is also very vicious. There were two girls who got married one after the other. "My mother also gave me a copy in advance, saying that it would be too late until the wedding night. She also read it early back then, so it was not a big deal."
Some girls who were not yet engaged, or who were getting married much later than them, pricked their ears to listen to their increasingly eccentric topics. Lu Pingwan saw their faces flushed, but they still shyly and boldly talked about taboo topics. Out of curiosity, she pricked up her ears carefully and didn't miss any word.
"Yeah, your mother is really different from my mother. She hasn't said anything related to this to me. Where am I? I don't have the nerve to ask!" A girl held her red little face and smiled. vocal channel.
Chen Jiaojiao looked very fragile and looked like she would collapse in the wind. She looked over with an expression that said, "You guys are so weak." "My mother said it's better to see her early. If you don't understand, you can ask your grandma." .”
Another girl weakly interjected: "I also read it. My cousin who went back to my parents' home to visit her relatives last night gave me a copy. Just flipping through the first page, I felt it was too embarrassing."
At this point, most of the people had already figured out what book they were talking about. They couldn't help hiding their faces and smiling sweetly. They raised their pink fists towards Chen Jiaojiao and others, "They also said, what should I do if I tell people to listen?" ?”
Then he burst into laughter. Lu Pingwan still didn’t know anything about it. Waiting
After the banquet, I went back home and asked Lu Minran. After hearing her sister repeat it, Lu Minran still looked very calm. He said to her calmly: "Want to see? Want to know?"
Lu Pingwan was just curious. She was not very keen on these aspects, and could even be said to be ignorant. However, she seemed to be very tolerant, and ordinary things could not shake her heart, so she nodded obediently to her brother.
Lu Minran looked at her silently for a long time, complaining in his heart. He thought that ladies in ancient times were the shy kind, but he has lived here for so many years, and apart from being in contact with his sister and mother, he really doesn't seem to know much about them. ah. The book Chen Jiaojiao and the others discussed was naturally the Little Porn Book, right?
He never expected that he would personally hand over a book on pre-marital sex education to his sister. Lu Minran dug out the various books from the cabinet that Song Yunsheng had given him the year he learned about his affair, and picked one that was not so heavy. To Lu Pingwan. Then he touched her head and said calmly: "I'll look at it when I get back to my room. Don't let my mother know, let alone say that I gave it to you."
The cover of the booklet was an extremely beautiful and clear painting. If Lu Minran hadn't known what was inside, he would have thought it was a collection of poems by famous people.
Lu Pingwan was also a little excited. It felt good to protect the same secret with his brother. She silently stuffed the book into her arms, and after leaving Lu Minran's place, she secretly lit a lamp in the middle of the night and lay on the bedside reading with gusto without anyone noticing.
Later, Lu Minran didn't expect that Lu Pingwan would be so interested in this book. He returned the book the next day and said with unfinished thoughts: "Brother, there is something different in this article, but there are also The same book as this one?"
Lu Minran took the book and opened a different chapter that Lu Pingwan said, and was immediately shocked. His face was still calm, but he felt very bad, because this article was about the relationship between Langzi and Langzi. He put down the book and looked at his sister's expectant eyes, and pointed to the cabinet under the vase: " There’s a lot inside, see for yourself.”
Looking at the back of Lu Pingwan looking through the cabinet eagerly, Lu Minran sighed quietly. She never knew that besides Lu Mozhen, this was the one that aroused her thoughts.
#What should I do if my sister is very interested in this kind of books, but I don’t want to stop her either#
#LUmozhen will definitely be scared to death when she comes back and sees her fiancée falling in love with this kind of book#
The last idea cannot be praised. Lu Minran turned her back to Lu Pingwan and faced the window, with flowers blooming and an unpredictable smile.
