All Hail Cousin Brother

A group of guards quickly went up the mountain and stood guard on both sides of the mountain road, with sentries every ten steps.

Grandma Sun stepped forward with a smile: "Yesterday, the government sent people to take care of the temple, and Yin Qianhu also sent people to guard Longfeng Temple. Today, Longfeng Temple is not open to the public."

Yin San took the post of Qianhu and was in charge of the Yuyuan Guards. He was responsible for the safety of the young lady. He sent people to patrol the mountain in advance and guard it to ensure safety.

Only people invited by the lady, or people with the permission of the lady, can go up the mountain and enter the temple.

Yu Youyao gently carried her long skirt up the stone steps: "Let's go up!"

This mountain road is one mile long (500 meters). The mountain road is winding and steep. Yin Shi leads the way. Chunxiao supports Yu Youyao and slowly goes up the mountain along the mountain road.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, we reached the mountainside.

The abbot and the monks were waiting at the door. When he saw Yu Youxiao coming over, he clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, the princess has come to this temple to pray for blessings for all the people. How good it is!"

Yu Youyao also clasped his hands in front of his chest and bowed in return: "I'm really ashamed of disturbing your temple's practice."

The host's eyebrows did not move and he just said: "Buddha picks up the destined person, why is it not another practice? It is only a small mountain temple in Longfeng Temple. If there is anything wrong, I hope the princess will forgive it."

Yu Youyao hurriedly said: "This is going to offend me. There is no temple big or small, and there is no high or low Dharma. They are all places for monks to practice, and they are also places to worship the great Buddhas in the world. They are all worshiping the same Bodhisattvas. The universal salvation of all sentient beings is the same. Big and small are only in the original mind, not in the present. If the heart thinks it is big, it will be boundless and grand; if it thinks it is small, it will only be within a square inch."

The host bowed deeply and said, "The donor is destined to be my Buddha, Amitabha!"

Longfeng Temple has a long history. It has gone through several wars, reconstructions and repairs. Although the temple is small, it has a simple and vicissitude that has passed through the years.

The temple has prepared a small courtyard wing, and Mrs. Huang is waiting at the entrance of the small courtyard to greet them.

Mrs. Huang wore a blue coat with a round neck and large sleeves, a top and a skirt, a ponytail, and a red gold hairpin inserted diagonally on her temples. She looked very simple.

However, she was tall, plump, and bright in appearance. Even though she was dressed plainly, she couldn't suppress her gorgeous appearance.

Seeing Yu Youyao coming over, Mrs. Huang quickly stepped forward with a smile: "I ordered people to tidy up the wing again. Although it is a little shabby, it is still in good condition."

Huang Wenwen was a direct confidant of King Wu Mu. After Yu Youyao came to Xiangping, Mrs. Huang was entrusted by her husband and took good care of her.

Therefore, Yu Youyao also got close to her: "I'm just bothering my wife."

Mrs. Huang is a cheerful person, so she immediately said angrily: "Why are you being polite to me? As long as you don't think I'm nosy," when she said this, she looked at her politely with a pair of auspicious eyes, and immediately straightened her eyes: " Take a look at this majestic appearance, this is the first time I have seen her, she is indeed a noblewoman raised by a noble family."

Even if I take a look at it, I feel so frightened that I don't know where to move my hands and feet, and I don't dare to look directly at it.

Comparing all the so-called noble women in the north.

Yu Youyao shook her head: "Thank you, madam. I'm young and it's my first time coming to Xiangping. I don't know much about Xiangping's customs and customs, and I have a lot of inconveniences. During this period, it's also thanks to my wife's advice. .”

There were many generals in the You army, but Yin Huaixi asked Huang Wenxian and General Anyuan to come over to meet her. It can be seen that these two people are people he trusts. They have no choice in family and character. They are reliable people.

Mrs. Huang was generous and straightforward, and she was sincere in her dealings with others. Yu Youyao also wanted to make friends with her. The two of them talked and laughed and entered the small courtyard together.

This is a temporarily vacated house. Although it is simple, it is clean and tidy and has all the necessary items because it has been tidied up in advance.

At this time, General Ningyuan's wife came over.

About the same age as Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Ning is more delicate and gentle in temperament, which is in sharp contrast to General Ning Yuan's ruggedness.

General Ningyuan was also the first person to follow King Zhou Li. His current achievements were due to King Zhou Li's promotion. Even his marriage was done by the old princess as a matchmaker.

General Ning Yuan and his wife met each other at a young age, and their relationship was very good. They raised two sons and two daughters, and supported each other. This is how General Ning Yuan achieved his current meritorious status.

Because King Zhou Li was driving in front of him, there was no concubine in the house.

Mrs. Ning smiled and said: "When you enter the temple, you have to go through a lot of trouble. I don't want to hold back on the food I had in the morning. I went to the kitchen in the temple and prepared some snacks and soups. You can use some first. So that you don’t get hungry for a while.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid who was following behind came forward with a wooden support and placed the prepared snacks and food cups on the table.

A plate of yellow peas, I don’t know how it was made, the color is beautiful orange, and it’s very appetizing just looking at it.

The other plate is golden-colored puff pastry balls the size of glutinous rice balls, and a cup of mushroom soup is also prepared.

Mrs. Ning is a good cook. During this time, she often went to Yuyuan to deliver some exquisite snacks.

Mrs. Huang smiled and said: "The princess is very lucky. The eldest sister of the Ning family relied on her good cooking skills to keep General Ning Yuan in submission."

As soon as he heard these words, with a teasing meaning, he knew that they were also close to each other.

Yu Youyao's smile deepened and she said gratefully: "It just so happened that I got up early in the morning and had a poor appetite. I only had some breakfast to fill my stomach. I am indeed a little hungry now. Thank you madam."

Mrs. Ning smiled softly, gentle and delicate.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, she rolled her eyes at Mrs. Huang: "Look, I'm really embarrassed to say this in front of a girl who has not yet left the court." She spoke in a soft voice. Even if he was sarcastic, he would say it tactfully and charmingly: "The princess doesn't know anything. Military Advisor Huang is a well-known wife-keeper in our Xiangping City."

Yu Youyao was stunned again.

Mrs. Ning seems to have different ideas from her? ! As soon as I turned around and said something shameful, I ended up saying something shameful myself!

It is said that women in the north are informal, and she seems to understand that this has to be left in the capital. Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Ning are seniors, so they would never say this in front of her.

But this attitude didn't seem to be that of an elder at all. Instead, he treated her as if he were an equal.

Mrs. Huang held the handkerchief and continued to laugh: "The eldest sister of our Ning family is a hero among women. She can carry the Yanyue Sword with one hand, which weighs eighty kilograms, and chases General Ning Yuan all over the city."

Yu Youyao was stunned, and then she realized that Mrs. Ning's father and brother were both serving in the army, and her father was from a hundred households.

Is this a family connection? !

However, Mrs. Ning has slender arms and legs, and she exudes the elegance and gentleness of a Jiangnan woman. She doesn't look like she can carry a big knife and run after people?

Or is it true that people cannot be judged by their appearance?
