Chapter 119: Self-acceptance

There is a famous Fengchi Mountain about ten miles away from Pingzhou City. The name Fengchi Mountain has some origins. Not only is the shape of the mountain like a pair of spreading wings, it is also covered with maple trees. In late autumn, it is red, yellow, blue and purple. Alternately, it is colorful, and it looks as bright as a phoenix's wings from a distance. That's why it has the reputation of Fengchi Mountain.
The Left Chi Peak of Fengchi Mountain is slightly higher than the Right Chi Peak, and it is an excellent place to view the autumnal maple leaves. To climb the Fengchi Mountain to enjoy the maple leaves, you must go to Zuoji Peak, and Pingji Temple is located here. Pingji Temple is a century-old ancient temple. Su Zhai is well-known for its exquisiteness. The abbot is friendly and good at business. The incense is naturally unparalleled.
On weekdays, Pingzhou City does not stick to the rich and the poor, and always loves to contribute incense money here. In autumn, there are even more people who come to enjoy the leaves and view the scenery and ask for the Bodhisattva's assessment. If you don't send someone to take care of it in advance, and you want to live comfortably on the mountain and enjoy the beautiful food, it is basically impossible.
But today, early in the morning, the visiting monks of Pingji Temple were busy, pointing to the little novice monks to pick up some of the most scenic and quietest yards, clean the ground and stone tables and benches with clear water, and burn the sandalwood. Fragrant, ready to welcome the three families of Wu, Lu, and Lin who are the most prestigious families in Pingzhou City to go to the mountain to worship Buddha and also wish to enjoy the scenery.
At about noon, a long row of sedan chairs entered the mountain gate one by one, and the Zhike monk was busy, asking questions, introducing, and arranging fast food. When the pilgrims saw this large group of women's family members of wealthy people with glamorous clothes and veil on their heads, most of them voluntarily avoided, and did not dare to go forward to provoke them. Some people recognized that this year one or two family members from Taiming Mansion came to Xiangxiang to vomit. They stood by quietly pointing and talking. Some were envious, and some jokingly said that so many people came to the mountain with a big fan.
Hearing the discussion, the female relatives became more solemn and careful in every move. Lin Jinrong followed Dow in a jade-colored skirt, bowed his head and kept his eyes down. Lin Wu, Lin Liu, Lin Qi, Lu Yun and others are also closely behind their mother, without a smile, the atmosphere seems a bit dull.
But the man is not so much restrained. Wu Xiang pulls Lu Jin, together with a few children of the same age from Wu, Lu, and Lin. He doesn’t pay attention to the attention and comments of others. What about the inscription on the stone, who left it, what year the person was a Jinshi, and what official position he later achieved. His voice still has the crispness of a young man, he speaks quickly and urgently, occasionally with a witty remark, and everyone laughs, but his mind is as heavy as Lu Yan, and he can't help showing a somewhat relaxed smile.
After entering the back, sitting down at the dinner table and facing the exquisite Su Zhai full of tables, the female family members were relaxed. After the greeting, Roche was the first to praise Wu Xiang: "Wu Xiang's temperament is really likable. Without extensive knowledge, he can speak well."
Lin Yuzhen also said: "It's really a young hero. Looking at his talking and laughing way, people can't help but feel hurt when they look at it.
No better than my family, Lu Yan, Chengri doesn't say a lot, and often keeps his face straight. "
Yang smiled slightly when he heard the words, "Don't praise him, this kid is the most frivolous, but how can he compare to Lu Yan's young and mature, stable and generous? I hope he can learn from Lu Yan and be more stable."
Lu Er's wife, Song Shi, covered her mouth and smiled, "Both children are good. You should just look at the others, or else, why not change?"
Roche laughed: "If you change, you may regret it after a long time!"
Hearing that they started to flatter each other, although knowing that they would not get into the subject so quickly, Dow couldn't help but gloat and raised the corners of his lips, and then looked at Mama Gong to show Mama Gong that everyone was not paying attention at this moment. Sending the box Tao Shunqin had brought to Lu Yan, Gong's mother knew and walked out quietly.
The twins already knew Lin Yuzhen's plan, and knew that Lu Yun's good deeds were approaching, they smiled narrowly at Lu Yun. Lin Liu touched Lu Yun's shoulder affectionately and said, "Sister Yun, this vegetarian chicken has done a good job. Can you try it?"
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Sister Yun is afraid that no matter how delicious the dishes are, she won't be able to taste it."
Before she finished her words, she caught Lin Liu's eye and motioned her to pay attention. Wu Ling's cousin, Wu Xiang, was sitting next to her. The matter was still undecided, how could she talk nonsense.
Lin Qi put out her tongue mischievously, apologizing.
"Why can't I taste it?" Lu Yun was not at the gathering, and generously fed a chopsticks vegetarian chicken into his mouth. He glanced at Lin Jinrong obliquely, but when he saw Lin Jinrong ate with his eyes down and expressionless, he smiled: "Sister Si, does the vegetarian fish in front of you taste good?"
Lin Jinrong then raised his eyes to look at her and smiled sweetly, "Yes, well-deserved, do you want to try it?"
Lu Yun moved the sweetheart and said, "You clip me?"
As expected, Lin Jinrong put a chopstick in her bowl. Lin Liu and Lin Qi also joined in the fun: "We want too." Lin Jinrong Yiyan each gave a chopstick, and then asked Wu Ling's cousin Wu Ling next to him: "Would you like to try Aling?"
Wu Ling shook his head painfully, "Thank you. I can't become a vegetarian."
Lin Wuling, who had been silent for a long time, snorted coldly. Lin Jinrong glanced at her and then asked her: "Where are Wumei, do you want?"
Lin Wu faintly shook his head: "No." But he pointed to the glazed hairpin on Wu Ling's hair, pretending to be surprised and said, "Hey, the color of the hairpin on Aling's head is really beautiful, peach huā powder, how does the style match? My fourth sister gave something similar?"
Wu Ling smiled and touched the hairpin on her hair: "My second brother gave it. I brought it back from Qingzhou. I thought that this colored glaze is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, and I like this color, so I picked it out specially, Azhi Your eyes are sharp."
Lin Wu hehe smiled: "It turns out that I bought them all from Cheongju. No wonder I feel like it." Without looking at anyone, he put the chopsticks aside and stood up and said, "I'm full and a little tired. I went to rest.
Yan Pai really got up and talked to Zhou's, accompanied by the servant girl to the rest. She is not pleasing to anyone now, especially Lu Yun. Every time she sees Lu Yun, she has a sense of shame of being betrayed.
The twins exchanged a knowing look at each other, showing a little contempt. Lin Liutong and Wu Ling explained, "She was a little upset and didn't want to come. My grandmother persuaded her to come and relax. She was a little uncomfortable." I don't know what Old Lady Lin thinks, and she didn't want to come. People don't force it. They want all their sisters to come and stand a gloomy horse face in front of them, which really affects the mood.
Lu Yun put his chopsticks away, smiled at the hairpin on Wu Ling's head, and praised: "It really looks pretty, but it's a bit similar. The branch that Sister Si gave me is purple, right?"
, "Yes." Lin Jinrong smiled faintly, and said nothing. Lin Liu came to the market sensitively: "They are all from Qingzhou, they look alike naturally, maybe they are from a family."
Not long after everyone ran out of fast food, the wives asked the servants to go and see if the young masters had used up the fast food, rested, took a shower, changed clothes, and prepared to burn incense to pay off. Lin Jinrong saw Gong's mother coming in from the outside with sharp eyes, and whispered a few words next to Dow. Dow had a smile on his face, so he subconsciously leaned in and called Dow, "Mother. "
Dow looked back at her with a sweet smile, and went to hold her hand: "Go, let's take a shower and change clothes first, and also burn incense and ask for a root sign."
Lin Jinrong as long as she doesn't interfere with those things, and the rest of the requirements are not requirements, and obediently followed Dow. Dow turned his head, but saw that Luo and Yang had already got together affectionately, and Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun had also avoided, so he smiled slightly, thinking to himself that some people's wonderful faces were visible.
However, it was said that Luo and Yang deliberately went to the same place, and after some of the parents were short-lived to lead Yang to slowly settle down, only then gradually entered the topic: "Sister Yang, I don’t know how you raised the child. Look at the two of your family. This son is a dragon and a phoenix in the human race." He also gave Wu Xiang a good meal.
These days, Yang's ears have become cocooned when he hears similar words, but he still has the patience to humbly refuse. Luo's son can't find anything to praise. Then praise the twins as huā and jade, dignified and virtuous, and say that Luo's good fortune.
Luo Shi smiled and said, "What are those two in my family, they are ignorant, and they are well raised. They are better than my nephew, A Yun. They are good talents, talented, rare dignified, capable and virtuous..."
She praised her nephew's daughter, how can the Yang family say it is bad? Moreover, Lu Yun did have a good name, so he followed and praised: "Yes, A Yun is really a rare good girl. Every time I see your good daughter, I love it so much, and I regret me. I don't have that blessing."
Oh, it sounds so smooth, Roche is proud: "It's not difficult for my elder sister to have a good daughter with her wish. It's very simple. Just marry a good wife and leave. I wonder if Wu Xiang from your family can talk to you. Up?"
Seeing her suddenly turning such a big turn, Yang's heart jumped suddenly, but it was not easy to perfuse. After all, these family members knew each other well, but they couldn't hide it, so they laughed and said, "No. He has no temper. set……"
Luo Shi just heard her say no, so he couldn't wait to say: "If you say that you have to make a decision as soon as possible, his temper will be set. This is the case for both of my family members."
Yang smiled: "Yes."
Seeing that she didn't mean to disgust, Luo Shi boldly said, "Don't tell me, I want to do a good thing today. My aunt and wife always think that your family Wu Xiang is a good boy..."
The Yang had already guessed her purpose, and immediately snorted her face, regardless of impoliteness, and quickly interrupted her, and said anxiously: "Where, your aunt's wife is wrong, only our own people know, Wu Xiang's temperament It was very bad, so I didn't dare to talk to him easily.
His grandfather said that it's best to wait until he turns 20 to watch again, so as not to delay the good girl, and I don't know how many people have been offended. Then he said to him: "It's getting late, I have to go take a shower and change clothes." "Yanbi gave a salute to Luo Shi, and soon disappeared.
Roche was dumbfounded and stood there for a long time before reacting. This was rejected.
