In the evening, Gu Jingyun personally cooked a sumptuous dinner. After eating, the two of them moved out on the reclining chairs and went out to enjoy the breeze in the yard, admiring the crescent moon in the sky and the chrysanthemums on the ground. It was very comfortable.

Gu Huaijin in Zhongyonghou's mansion was not in such a good mood, he asked with a gloomy face, "Didn't you find it?"

"Yes, I have searched back and forth several times, but I haven't found a young man who looks like the master of the Qin family. Second master, Master Qin has been in Qiongzhou for 14 years. When he left, he only had a three-year-old daughter. How could there be any heirs left in the capital?" ? Or those offshoots of the Qin family who came to the capital are unknown."

Gu Huaijin lowered her eyes, "Maybe I'm overthinking, but I've always been a little uneasy recently. A boy who looks like him may not be a child of him or the Qin family..." It may also be his.

Thinking of the eldest son who was born and raised in Qiongzhou, Gu Huaijin felt complicated, but more disturbed.

With Qin Xinfang as a person, would his parents and children who grew up around him recognize him?

Father and son turned against each other, just thinking about Gu Huaijin couldn't help but feel chills, he didn't want to see that child.

But in a place as poor as Qiongzhou, how could Qin Xinfang let her sister and nephew live there all the time.

It's been fourteen years, and the child will grow up in a few years, so it's time for him to come back?

Gu Huaijin squeezed her fist and asked, "What is Lekang doing now?"

"The third master is at the second wife's place. Tomorrow the third master's academy is going to Yeshan for an outing. The second wife has something to say, I'm afraid there are some things to ask."

Gu Huaijin nodded slightly, "How is his recent schoolwork?"

A smile appeared on Chang Shun's face, and he said proudly: "Gu Daru praised the third master again, saying that the third master's essay has improved again, and he will definitely pass the exam next year."

Gu Huaijin nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, Le Kang was like him, and he was taught by a great Confucianism. He must not be inferior to him in achievement. Even if he comes back, if he is not as capable as his younger brother, he can only be inferior to him.

It shouldn't be difficult to suppress him with Le Kang's ability, not to mention Le Kang has the support of the Gu family and the Fang family.

Gu Huaijin was slightly relieved, and said: "Although I haven't found it, I'm sure I'm not mistaken. You send someone to guard the Zhuangyuan Building and the street. Once you see a suspicious person, find out his identity and residence immediately." .”

Changshun bowed in response.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu had a good night's dream, and Li Baolu jumped up early the next morning to practice. Gu Jingyun couldn't dance Wu Qinxi for the time being, so he took a book and read in the yard in the morning.

After Li Baolu finished practicing, he also put away his books, and the two of them went into the kitchen to make breakfast together.

Li Baolu was in charge of their morning meals, while Gu Jingyun made some snacks to take with them on the way.

They decided to go to the most famous Huguo Temple in the capital today.

Li Baolu kneaded the flour for him and went to light a fire to make her breakfast, while Gu Jingyun carefully kneaded the flour and made small balls of different shapes...

By the time the young couple had enough to eat and drink and went out with a small basket on their backs, Father Sun had jumped out of the top of the mountain and was happily shining on the earth.

Li Baolu rented a donkey cart and went to Huguo Temple.

Huguo Temple is located on Qingfeng in the capital, and because it is a national temple, the incense is very prosperous, and there are countless pilgrims who come and go for outings.

The donkey cart of the two of them couldn't move before reaching the foot of the mountain. The traffic ahead was full of carts, all of which were carriages!

Gu Jingyun opened the curtain, his eyes gliding over the energetic scholars in Confucian shirts, and asked the coachman curiously, "What day is it today? Why are there so many scholars?"

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, maybe the big academies are doing some kind of competition," the coachman said with no surprise: "During the holidays, academies like to hold competitions. And even if the academies don't organize competitions, those students will organize competitions in private of."

Gu Jingyun nodded thoughtfully, pulled Li Baolu and said, "There is a lot of traffic ahead, let's get off here."

Li Baolu hurriedly put on the small back basket and got out of the car, settled the bill with the driver and then escorted Gu Jingyun up the mountain.

Although the traffic jam was severe and there were many pedestrians, there was no traffic jam, and everyone could walk up the mountain with a long distance.

Cars have a driveway, people are humane, Li Baolu nodded in satisfaction, this is very good, unless you meet a dude who is not afraid of Shuntian Mansion, most people dare not drive the carriage on the sidewalk.

Most of the students who were blocked on the road were students who came for an outing. They saw people walking up and down on the sidewalk, but their cars did not move. They immediately jumped out of the carriage angrily, waved their hands and said, "Go!" , let's walk up the mountain!"

Hula A group of people jumped out of the carriage in response, and went up the mountain in a mighty manner, blocking the sidewalk in one fell swoop.

Gu Jingyun couldn't help chuckling, while Li Baolu sighed, "It's nice to be young!"

Gu Jingyun patted her on the head with a fan, "You are younger than them."

"The body is smaller than them, but the heart is old."

"If your mind is the same age as your body, I won't worry about you. Let's go, the people behind will come up in a while, and we will be the ones blocking it."

So sad, to say that her mental age is not twelve years old!

Li Baolu jumped up to catch up with Gu Jingyun, and suggested: "I heard that the scenery of Mount Ye outside the city is better. The mountains are connected to the mountains there, and there are few people in the beautiful scenery. Let's go there tomorrow. The Huguo Temple is full of people. What are we? To see the scenery, or to see the people?"

"We're here to see the Buddha." Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "Going to Mount Ye is fine, but not for a few days. There will be heavy rain in the capital tomorrow, and there are many mountains on the side of Mount Ye. Be careful of landslides. We will go after the rain is over. "

"Great, we don't have to go out when it rains. Let's go back and stock up on more food at night, so we don't even have to go out to buy groceries."

Gu Jingyun turned around and left.

Huguo Temple attracts so many students not because of the Buddha in the temple, but because of the chrysanthemums released by the pond in Huguo Temple.

Huguo Temple is a national temple. The founding emperor gave the farmland under Huguo Temple to Huguo Temple as a temple field with a wave of his generous hand. The emperors of all dynasties learned from each other, and each generation gave something. Slowly, The entire Qingfeng Mountain and the area around the foot of Qingfeng Mountain became the Huguo Temple.

Coupled with the prosperity of incense, Huguo Temple has expanded rapidly. It was originally an ancient temple on the mountainside, but now, Huguo Temple has been expanded to four floors.

The first floor is on the mountainside, where the Zhike monks will entertain the nobles who come to stay overnight and offer incense. There are also four courtyards arranged here for the pilgrims who stay overnight.

The second floor is halfway up the mountain, which is not only the original site of the Huguo Temple, but also the current location of the Daxiong Hall.

In addition to the Daxiong Palace, walking to the left is a large peach and plum garden, which can't be seen at a glance. When spring comes, it is as bright as silver clouds and fragrant with flowers.

Going up to the third and fourth floors, there are Buddhas such as Ksitigarbha, Manjusri and other Buddhas respectively. The side hall also offers Avalokitesvara, one hundred and eight arhats...

In short, all the Buddhas of the Buddhist school are complete.

The release pool is on the third floor, that is, on the mountainside. There was a spring there, and the monks in the temple dug a release pool based on that spring, and built a pavilion for resting beside the release pool. Chrysanthemums and magnolias were planted in flower gardens everywhere.

Every year when the Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the Double Ninth Festival, Huguo Temple will also purchase a large number of potted chrysanthemums from Baoding flower farmers to decorate the chrysanthemum garden here.

The chrysanthemum mountain formed by overlapping chrysanthemums is so strong that it burns people's hearts just by looking at it.

Standing on the gazebo, all eyes could see chrysanthemums, some were yellow, some were rose red, some were pink, and even Li Baolu saw green chrysanthemums that were said to be worth more than two hundred taels and black chrysanthemums that were also not cheap.

The fourth floor of Huguo Temple is close to the top of the mountain, and going up after the fourth floor is the most famous plum garden in Huguo Temple.

The plum garden is the largest among the three gardens of Huguo Temple, and it is also the most famous plum garden in the capital, with no other garden comparable to it so far.

Just imagine, how poetic and picturesque the proud plum blossoms are blooming in the windy mountains.

What's more, an open pavilion made of thatched grass was built on the top of the mountain. In the cold and windy winter, literati and poets sat in it against the cold wind and enjoyed the plum blossoms while drinking tea. They shuddered just thinking about it.

Li Baolu stood under the shaded plum tree and said in a low voice, "Huguo Temple is really good at making money."

Gu Jingyun smiled faintly, stroked the trunk of the plum tree and said: "It's just that everyone takes what they need. If Huguo Temple doesn't do it, someone else will do it. It's better to let it do it than others."

He took Li Baolu's hand and said, "Let's go, let's also go to the Chrysanthemum Garden. Uncle always taught me that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky, and the capital city is a place where great Chu literature gathers together, and there are many talents. I really want to see it." their level."

"The academies in the capital are flourishing, and the Guozijian has long since been run out. It is said that the two most powerful academies in the capital are Songshan Academy and Qingxi Academy," Li Baolu said about the information she had found out, "Songshan Academy is controlled by the royal family. Although it is good, there are many restrictions. Qingxi Academy is the academy where my uncle, aunt, and mother went to. I don’t know if people from the station and the two major academies will come today.”

Gu Jingyun said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Here we come, here, isn't that what it is?"

Li Baolu followed his gaze, and sure enough, she saw two groups of teenagers in different clothes confronting each other, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Gu Jingyun pointed to the group of people wearing brocade gowns splashed with moon and white mountains and water, and said: "It belongs to Qingxi Academy, and this school uniform has not been changed for decades. There is a set at my uncle's place, and this school uniform was designed by my grandfather." of it."

Li Baolu was embarrassed, feeling that her grandfather was so pretentious, he used white as the school uniform, and it was still painted with splashed ink of landscapes.

Gu Jingyun pointed to the students in bright red on the opposite side and said: "That is a student of Songshan Academy. After my grandfather resigned from Songshan Academy, the post of head of the mountain was taken up by Huang Concubine. The eldest princess loves red, so the school uniform of Songshan Academy has changed since my grandfather I haven't changed the color since I left the job."

Li Baolu looked at the pile of red sympathetically.

Gu Jingyun took her hand excitedly and said, "Come on, let's go and watch."
