Chapter 61: Bailong Temple

Bailong Temple, located between Baihe Town and Yunyang City, cannot be regarded as the largest temple in Youzhou, but it is definitely regarded as the most exquisite temple in Youzhou. The temple’s halls are splendid and the scenery is pleasant, and Zhai cuisine is especially famous.
Because it is only an hour’s drive away from Yunyang City, the first city in Youzhou, there are many wealthy people who travel to and from Bailong Temple on weekdays, especially during the big days of Buddhism. Pilgrims are even more unfamiliar.
Fortunately, today is not a day like the birthday of the Buddha. Even so, when the Ren family's carriage went to the gate of the Bailong Temple, they still saw a lot of carriages.
Ren Yaoqi had been to Bailong Temple once or twice, but that was something in his previous life.
After getting off the carriage, the eldest wife and daughter-in-law Zhao walked ahead, and the two were talking in low voices. The juniors followed behind them.
Ren Yaoyu complained to her brother in a low voice: "I said before that there are only a few older brothers and sisters? Why are the eldest aunt and sister-in-law also here?"
Ren Yijian was talking to Ren Yihong, but did not respond to her, making her boring. But Ren Yaoyu didn't dare to settle accounts with her brother, she had asked him for help a lot recently.
As soon as the Bailong Temple entered the temple gate, on the Bai’s approach road in the middle of the square, a single-hole bridge from north to south lies across. The whole bridge is about three to four sheets long, one foot wide and one foot deep. However, there is no water under the bridge, but a golden river with blue bricks. A money clock with a round square hole is hung in the openings on the east and west sides of the single-hole bridge.
Ren Yaoqi and his party were walking outside the white stone railing on the right side of the bridge hole, which was less than two feet away from the bridge. Ren Yijian hurriedly said to the woman behind him: "Give young master some money," while paying back To Ren Yihong, he said, "Every time the little master walks from here, there are hundreds of hits."
It turned out that the money-shaped clock in the bridge hole was used to ring for the pilgrims. Standing outside the railing and throwing copper coins on the clock, if you can hear the "ding", you will be lucky.
Children like this game most, and often refuse to leave without hearing the bell ring. The time Ren Yaoqi came before was still there, but not once.
There are already some people on the railing, and sometimes a "ding" and cheers can be heard.
The eldest wife turned her head and said to the eager Ren Yijian: "Brother Jian, let's go first and put incense sticks on the Buddha, and then you can play in the Bailong Temple."
Ren Yijian looked at the kind-looking grandmother, and reluctantly took back the two money in his hands.
The old lady turned around and talked with the young lady while walking.
The eldest wife believes in Buddhism and has always been pious for the Buddha. Therefore, several juniors in the Ren family followed her in a proper manner. Even if Ren Yaoyu was not here, her mother was not here, and she was quite honest in front of the eldest wife.
Followed the eldest wife to the temple and finished the incense, the eldest wife confessed: "I and your sister-in-law are going to ask for a visa. You will walk around in this temple, and you will come back when you are eating. But you must not leave people around , Especially a few sisters."
Everyone agreed, Ren Yijian immediately pulled Ren Yihong and left, while asking Yun Wenfang and Qiu Yun: "Cousin, do you want to go with us?"
Qiu Yun shook his head and smiled: "We are not kids, so we don't play that."
Ren Yijian rolled his eyes and ran away.
Ren Yijun looked at his mother and walked secretly to Ren Yaoqi's side. His wife frowned and said, "Yijun, come over and ask for a visa with me and your sister-in-law."
Ren Yijun listened more to his mother's words at the moment, so although his face was full of reluctance, he finally stopped.
The eldest wife said to Ren Yaoyin, who was leaning lightly on her mother-in-law with a slightly ugly face, "I asked the Zhike Sang to prepare a room for rest, and you can go and rest with me."
Ren Yaoyin couldn't stand the bumps of the carriage and was a little uncomfortable. She cannot travel long distances in a carriage.
Ren Yaoqi was hesitant to go with Ren Yijun, and after thinking about it, she said to the eldest wife: "Auntie, I will go and ask for a visa with you."
The old lady gave her a surprised look, but she said gently and honestly: "You don't need to go when you are young. Let's go and play with a few sisters. I remember that there is an apricot blossom forest in the back mountain of the Bailong Temple. I don’t know if it’s blooming."
Ren Yaoyu curled his lips and whispered: "In previous years, when it was not cold, it took three or four months to bloom. This year is colder than in previous years. How come it blooms so early?"
The eldest wife had already walked away with the eldest wife, Ren Yaoyin, Ren Yijun followed behind them with his hands on his back, looking listless, the eldest wife saw him, turned her head and said to teach him something.
Ren Yaoyu immediately said to Qiu Yun when the eldest wife and the others had gone: "Cousin, where are we going?"
Qiu Yun glanced at Yunwen, then looked at the Ren family sisters.
Ren Yaoyu looked at him with a smile, Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi sisters did not know what they were thinking, and their attention was not there.
"Otherwise, let's go to the apricot blossom forest in Houshan first. Even if the apricot blossoms are not blooming, it would be nice to see the mountain scenery of Houshan. We originally planned to go out for a walk?"
Several people have no opinion.
Qiu Yun is no stranger to Bailong Temple, and he doesn't need the monks in the temple to lead the way. He led a few people towards the back mountain at the beginning. On the one hand, they also introduced the origin of Bailong Temple and the allusions of some buildings in the temple.
Qiu Yun is such a person. If he wants to be cordial and friendly, then he is your most intimate and interesting friend. But if he wants to keep a distance from you, then he is a very difficult person to approach, but he is impeccable in his interests.
Because of this, Ren Yaoqi hated him in his previous life. In this life, she just wants to keep a distance from him.
In the early spring of this year, the apricot flowers behind the Bailong Temple hadn't had time to fully bloom, but there were also some sporadic small buds on the paper strips of some apricot trees.
"Shall we go to sit in that pavilion?" Qiu Yun pointed to an octagonal pavilion hidden in the apricot forest and said to several people like a guide.
When a few people approached, they found that there were already people sitting in the pavilion. Two teenagers and two young girls were all 13 or 4 years old.
Qiu Yun paused, frowning slightly and whispering to Yun Wen: "Oh, I knew it. Would you like to avoid it?"
Yun Wenfang raised his eyebrows and glanced at the pavilion, then twitched the corners of his mouth: "No, I'm afraid he will not be able to sue me?"
It happened that a young man in blue clothes in the pavilion also looked over and saw Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang. He was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and said, "Zi Shu, Jin Yuan, why are you here?"
Qiu Yun smiled and walked forward: "Brother Su, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ren Yaoqi also looked at the people in the pavilion, and the young man Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang knew was beautiful in appearance, with a faint bookish air, and his gestures were very safe.
Qiu Yun calls him "Brother Su", is it possible that he belongs to the Su family in Yunyang City?
It is a pity that when Ren Yaoqi was in Yanbei in his last life, because he was not pampered by old ladies, he rarely had the opportunity to go out. People from Ren's family went to Yunyang City quite a few times, but Ren Yaoqi did not go there, and only to his grandfather's house.
In the previous life, she didn't necessarily recognize people she met, but in this life she didn't recognize them even more.
The other boy in the pavilion looks just ordinary, but his clothes are not vulgar. Of the two young girls, one barely can be called delicate, with a few freckles on his face. Another young girl is pretty good, but a pair of eyes are too flexible to make people look at it.
Over there, the young man surnamed Su was very friendly and said to Yunwen: "...I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard your brother say that you have gone far?"
Yun Wenfang was leaning on the pavilion column with a lazy appearance. He just answered with an "um", seemingly disapproving of the friendly accosting of the teenager surnamed Su.
Qiu Yun came forward in time to interrupt, patted his forehead and said: "Yes, look at me being rude. Brother Su, this is my third cousin from the Ren family. Third cousin, fifth cousin, eighth cousin, this is the second young master of Su family. Su Yunchen. The second cousin of the East Mansion is his aunt, so he can be regarded as your cousin."
It turned out to be from the Su family.
Several people in Ren Yaoqi were busy with him.
Su Yunchen made a polite return and introduced the other three people in the pavilion to Ren Yaoqi and his party.
"This is the young master of the Tang family, Zi Shu, Jin Yuan, you should have seen him. He only entered our academy last year. These two girls are his cousins, girls from the Liu family in Guidongfang, Yunyang City."
