Chapter 277 Blind Date

Prince Jin's Mansion and Prince De's Mansion came out of the mansion at about the same time and went to the city gate together as a matter of course.

They were all sitting in the carriage, and even though the thin curtains had been replaced, the faces of the people sitting in the carriage could still not be seen clearly.

"I don't know what it looks like?" Jiang Changning looked away regretfully.

Yan Yinyao smiled and said: "A man's appearance is not important, as long as he looks upright, it is enough."

"Who says it's not important? Beauty is not just about women." Jiang Changning said seriously.

"Cousin-sister-in-law saw that cousin could eat an extra bowl of rice?" Yan Yinyao asked jokingly.

"More than that." Jiang Changning held out three fingers and said seriously, "I can eat three more bowls of rice."

Yan Yinyao held his face and sighed: "It seems that my appearance is not to my cousin's liking. When my cousin and I ate together, she only ate half a bowl of rice."

"It's not a matter of looks, it's that same sex repels and opposite sex attracts each other. Your beauty needs men to appreciate it." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

The aunt and sister-in-law talked and laughed all the way out of the city and arrived at the foot of the Xiangguo Temple. Now everyone had to go down the mountain and walk up the mountain.

Jiang Changning was disappointed when he saw Su Quanfu, the man he wanted to meet Yan Yinyao. It wasn't that he was ugly. He had straight features, but that meant he was not handsome.

Being used to seeing King Jin's appearance, Jiang Changning's aesthetics have improved a lot.

Su Quanfu's height is estimated to be 1.66 meters tall. No, it should be about five feet.

Even if today's women don't wear high heels, if Yan Yinyao wore thick-soled shoes, she would surpass him.

It doesn't matter that he is not tall enough, this person is not in good shape. He is not too fat, but he has a big belly. He looks like a pregnant woman who is four or five months pregnant.

His ordinary appearance is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that Su Quanfu's eyelids are swollen, his eyes are cloudy, his cheeks are flushed abnormally, and he looks like an alcoholic.

Jiang Changning muttered in a low voice, "This man is not good."

Yan Yinyao lowered her head and smiled softly. Seeing that Su Quanfu was so virtuous, she was a little disappointed. Although she remarried, she did not want to wrong herself too much.

From the mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple to Tianshan Hall, there are a total of 756 steps.

It was really time-consuming and laborious to climb up. They didn't really come to worship the Buddha, so they directly hired a soft sedan chair and asked Lifu to carry them up.

When you enter the temple gate, you will see two floors of bells and drums. Morning bells and evening drums are the rules used by Buddhist temples to tell the time. On New Year's Eve, the Xiangguo Temple will ring the bells, and the bells will sound loud and beautiful, resounding throughout the city.

The first main hall of Xiangguo Temple is the Hall of Heavenly Kings, which houses the Maitreya Buddha. On both sides of the Buddha statue hang couplets: A big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world, and a kind face always smiles at the ridiculous people in the world.

The monk Zhike presented the sandalwood, and Jiang Changning took it and knelt on the futon, "Buddha is merciful, and I sincerely pray to you. May the Buddha bless my family to be healthy, safe, happy and auspicious, and everything goes well!"

Yan Yinyao prayed: "I pray that the Buddha will bless me and the people I care about, stay safe and healthy, get rid of diseases and eliminate disasters, make all my wishes come true, and bring good luck!"

On the east and west sides of Maitreya Buddha are the four heavenly kings. Each of the four heavenly kings stands on one side and holds a sword, a lute, a green umbrella and a silver snake.

These four magical instruments represent respectively: wind, adjustment, rain, and smoothness.

When offering incense to the four heavenly kings, the prayer is: "May the world be peaceful and the grain be abundant."

Out of the corner of Jiang Changning's eye, Su Quanfu had been looking at Yan Yinyao, and he wanted to get close to Yan Yinyao several times.

Yan Yinyao's eyes were not squinting, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and his expression was serious.

Knowing that she didn't like Su Quanfu, Jiang Changning was even less likely to let Su Quanfu get close to her. She was about to walk over to talk to Yan Yinyao.

The concubine asked at this moment: "Yin Yao, do you know why Wei Tuo is called the protector of the Dharma in Buddhism?"

"It is said that after Sakyamuni's Nirvana, evil spirits and demons stole the Buddha's remains. Wei Tuo chased and finally took them back. After that, Wei Tuo became a Bodhisattva and a protector of the Dharma."

"Miss Yan is so knowledgeable." Su Quanfu praised.

"This is just common sense. Anyone who has read Buddhist scriptures will know it." Yan Yinyao said coldly.

Su Quanfu's expression was a bit stiff. It was obvious that his flattery was on the horse's hooves and failed to please Yan Yinyao.

Jiang Changning stepped forward and took Yan Yinyao's hand, "Let's go, cousin, let's go to the Main Hall."

Behind the Tianwang Hall is the Main Hall, which is the main hall of Xiangguo Temple. It is magnificent and has lions carved on the white stone railings, which is very exquisite.

The three generations of Buddhas are enshrined in the hall, with Sakyamuni Buddha in the middle, Amitabha Buddha in the west, and Medicine Buddha in the east.

"It is said that Sakyamuni Buddha can fulfill all the wishes of believers." Su Quanfu followed him into the Mahavira Hall.

Yan Yinyao ignored him and ignored him, "Cousin, you said that the Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hands Buddha really has a thousand eyes and a thousand hands?"

"According to Buddhist scriptures, the Thousand-Eyed and Thousand-Hand Buddha is one of the thirty-three transformations of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It has one thousand and forty-eight hands, with an eye carved on each palm."

While they were talking, they turned to the back of the Third Buddha. The murals on both sides were scenes of Guanyin in the South China Sea saving all sentient beings.

After leaving the Main Hall, go to the left side to release the life pool.

The time sequence has entered June, and the lotus flowers in the release pond have become graceful and graceful.

Su Quanfu shook his head and chanted: "The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are exceptionally red."

The second son of Prince De's palace was twelve or thirteen years old, and he was at the age when he liked to show off. "You should use a couplet of poems when appreciating lotus flowers to live up to your elegance."

Without waiting for everyone's consent, he chanted: "The moon is bright, the boat flutes are rising, the wind is calming, and the lotus flowers are fragrant."

Su Quanfu thought that the second young master was trying to impress him, and he immediately chanted happily: "Look around at the mountains and the water, and lean on the railing for ten miles and smell the lotus flowers."

As soon as he finished his words, the Second Young Master continued to sing: "The rhombus leaves linger in the waves of the lotus, and the wind blows, and the boat can pass through the depths of the lotus."

"Cousin, look, there is a turtle under the lotus leaf." Yan Yinyao didn't even listen to the two of them reciting poems.

The Zhike monk who was leading the way put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the female donor, that is the golden toad."

"I was dazzled by the mistake." Yan Yinyao smiled sheepishly.

"Miss Yan, in this Buddhist temple, lotus leaves are covered with golden toads, which ward off evil and bring wealth." Su Quanfu said.

"Thank you Mr. Su for clarifying my doubts." Yan Yinyao bowed and walked away.

Jiang Changning, who was standing next to Yan Yinyao, could smell the faint smell of alcohol in Su Quanfu's breath.

Regardless of whether Su Quanfu had the remnants of last night's hangover or the wine he drank this morning, it all showed one thing: he was a drunkard and a greedy drinker.

Jiang Changning frowned and glanced at the expressionless Princess De. How could she introduce such a greasy man to Yan Yinyao?

The group of people had a vegetarian meal at Xiangguo Temple before leaving.

After returning to Prince Jin's Mansion, the concubine said: "Yin Yao sent me back to the courtyard. Brother Yu, daughter-in-law, please go back and see Xiao Ming. I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if he is crying or not?"

Jiang Changning had already asked Yan Yinyao on the way, knowing that she did not like Su Quanfu, so he smiled and said: "Cousin, you accompany my mother and concubine, and I will go back to Rujingyuan first."

"Don't worry, cousin, go and accompany Ming'er, I'm here with my aunt." Yan Yinyao said with a smile.

Note: When writing about this blind date, I remembered a past incident. A man chased my colleague and gave him a box of instant noodles.

My colleague asked me what he meant by this? Did he mean that I was easy to flirt with?

Then she firmly disagreed with this man. This man blamed me, saying it was me who persuaded her, and he also said he would take revenge on me.

I.
