Chapter 100 Qiongyu Falls into Cuimei Nunnery

After dusk, the sun did not know when it disappeared, the sky was gray, and there was a cool breeze.After tidying up, we used vegetarian food, and everyone came to my wing to sit for a while. Qiuxi and Hongjian set up a stove, and the room was warm and harmonious. The fragrance of plum blossoms and sandalwood mixed together, filled with an elegant and refined atmosphere. Everyone gathers together, drinks tea and chats. Xie Ronghua rubbed his hands, looked out of the gray window, and said: "It's really cold, it looks like it's going to snow tonight, and the sun is so good during the day, it can change as soon as it is said, it's really fast."

Concubine Wu also looked out the window, nodded and said: "Yes, it will snow tonight, and the wind will change." Gu Wanyi smiled and said: "When I came here, I still felt sorry. Cuimei Nunnery, which prides itself on plum blossoms, is now the season of plum blossoms. If there is no snow, it is really a pity that I can't walk in the snow to find plum blossoms. It snows in the evening, what kind of extraordinary scenery will the Cuimei Nunnery be like tomorrow?" I watch the sparks from the burning charcoal fire, and I like the feeling of burning the most. Thinking of what Gu Wanyi said just now, when I came, I also longed for a snow that covered this deep mountain Buddha country and brought us a supernatural world. Yayi.I smiled lightly and said, "Yes, the snow here is different from other snows. Tomorrow we should be able to step on the snow to find plum blossoms. In Cuimei Temple, this is what I thought when I came here."

Concubine Wu got up and walked to the window, sighing softly: "I remembered that there was a heavy snowfall when I came to Cuimei Nunnery a few years ago. I lived in the nunnery for a few days. , that artistic conception is really ethereal and empty." Just as he finished speaking, he saw a few petals of snow floating in the sky, and after a while, they fell one after another. We saw the snowflakes fluttering lightly, and got up one after another. Looking at the snow, it fell like a dream. I stretched out my hand, and a touch of snowflakes fell lightly on my palm, and the coolness soaked into the bones. I like this feeling, Qin cool feeling.Thinking of the snowy night a few years ago, I also lived in Cuimei Temple for two days, together with the painting fan. At that time, I was still a stranger to the concubine Wu, but I can be sure that I have never seen her, because a peerless woman like her Girl, once met, I will never forget it.

The painting fan, the painting fan I saw during the falling plum season, has not been heard of for so long.Tomorrow, I should call her to come to step on the snow and look for plums together, so I can meet Wu Fei and Xie Ronghua.I don't know whether we are happy in the palace, or we are happy, or we are happy, or we are not happy. Looking at Concubine Wu, I smiled slightly: "Sister Xue, I also came to Cuimei Temple on a snowy night a few years ago. In fact, I have often come here in the past few years. I believe you and Sister Shutong are the same, it's just us There was never an encounter."

Concubine Wu smiled: "Fate is like this. We are destined to meet each other. Even though we have rubbed shoulders countless times, we will eventually meet together. Didn't we meet in Zijin City, and we know and cherish each other so much?" She The words reminded me of what I said before, the two fallen leaves in the running water have gone through vicissitudes, and finally they will meet together. The day we got together. Xie Ronghua continued: "It's true, no matter how we go around, we still won't get together, and this kind of get together, maybe we won't be separated again."

Gu Wanyi looked at me and said softly: "I have always believed in fate. Since Sister Mei entered the palace, I have known that you are a magnificent woman who is different from others. It's just that I have been watching from afar, not up close. .” I turned my eyebrows and said with a smile: "Because many beautiful people and things can only be seen from a distance, but not up close. Often the real is broken. Instead of this, it is better to keep watching from a distance, maybe you can still maintain that blurred feeling." beautiful." Gu Wanyi smiled: "No, that's not the case with my sister. The reality of my sister is more fascinating than the dream. I dare not admire her closely because I am afraid of disturbing my sister's purity, because I am too ordinary." Gu Wanyi's words let me have a share Touched by pity, this seemingly simple and ordinary has profound connotations.Such a woman is the truest and most beautiful.

I smiled at her knowingly, with thousands of words in my heart. The snow is getting bigger and bigger. A beautiful scenery will start tonight and will end in a few days. At that time, we will also leave. The four of them watched the snow by the window sill for a while, then sat for a while, and went back to their rooms to rest.I slept on a tidy incense couch, with snow falling outside the window, and in the warm room of the Zen courtyard, I slept so peacefully.After a night without dreams, leaving Zijin City means staying away from the entanglement of nightmares.Perhaps, the Buddha is right, and Cuimei Temple is suitable for me. Will his waiting come true one day?I don't belong to Zijin City, Zijin City may be a nightmare for me, where I will never be able to find real peace, even with the emperor's favor and protection, I still have nightmares, as if I have been cursed , was confused.

Awakened by the morning bell of Cuimei Temple, when I opened my eyes, the snow was still falling, and there was already a piece of ice and snow outside the window.There are already some lonely footprints in the courtyard, deep and shallow marks, piercing into Bai Xue's soul.I smell the fragrance of plum blossoms, and in the light morning breeze, it floats into the window lightly and falls into my dream. I get up and do a little grooming, and I feel at home in casual attire every time I leave the palace.Facing the book case, I wrote a sentence on the white paper: Treading the snow, looking for plums and visiting old friends.Place of signing: A plum blossom in Cuimei Temple.Send someone to Yingxue Building in Firework Lane, and hand this letter to Huafan, believing that she knows who this petal plum is.

Went to the main hall with Concubine Wu and Xie Ronghua for morning classes. Master Miaochen lived in front of the Buddha, and many young nuns stood in front of the Buddha, reading scriptures that we could not understand, but the ethereal singing made people so fascinated .Will they get bored of this morning and evening routine?When chanting becomes a habit, everything will no longer be tiring. The concubine Wu and I stood side by side in front of the Buddha, each reciting the words in the scriptures. I couldn't appreciate the connotation, but I could feel the Zen.In fact, I like this kind of feeling. The quiet Buddhist temple, the world of white snow, the melodious morning bell, and the dense sandalwood, put the soul in the world of lotus flowers, without any thoughts of the world of mortals.Afterwards, reading scriptures, tasting tea, or gathering with Zen friends to study scriptures in the meditation room is also very enjoyable.But who can guard this loneliness and loneliness, and grow old calmly?In Zijin City, I wake up lazily every day, not listening to scriptures, not practicing Zen. Although lonely, those women still have a waiting. Although many people's waiting is so vague, at least there is still one hope.Only when everything is free from desires can one be completely pure of heart.Although I didn't wait, I still couldn't achieve a pure heart and no desires.

At the end of the morning class, I was still confused in my own thoughts. What will happen to this kind of life after a long time?It will be boring, or it will sink, maybe different people will have different thoughts and different endings. Walking out of the hall, seeing the snowflakes flying, I was very pleasantly surprised. Xie Ronghua held the snowflakes in his hands and said with a smile: "We should go to the backyard to visit the plum blossoms in the snow. Don't let down such a snowy scene. This opportunity is very rare." It's time to enjoy the snow plum together. I smiled mysteriously at them: "Today there will be a rare guest in Cuimei Temple. Let's go to the master's meditation room and wait for a while. This person will arrive in a while."

Xie Ronghua stared at me with wide eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister Mei is so mysterious, who is the rare guest you mentioned? If you don't say it, I will make a lot of guesses here." Concubine Wu also asked: "Is it your old friend outside the palace?" I nodded slightly: "Yes, we have been together for several years, and she was my only confidant before entering the palace." Gu Wanyi guessed: "It must be a woman, and she is a famous lady like Sister Tongmei." I smiled lightly: "I'm not a famous lady, you must know where I come from, right?" Although I entered the palace as Yue Meiwan, I believe they all know that I am from the world, don't they know?With so many women, so many eyeliners, they will not send someone outside the palace to inquire about my background. What is the origin of the women in the harem, what is the unknown life experience? Xie Ronghua held my hand and said with a smile: "Sister, a girl like you who is elegant and elegant, doesn't care about her origin, no matter where she comes from, she is equally beautiful and extraordinary." Gu Wanyi nodded and said: "Yes, that's the case. I never cared where my sister came from. In our hearts, my sister is an ethereal fairy, clear to the bone." I smiled at them and said, "Okay, don't praise me all the time, let's go to the teacher's meditation room to sit for a while and wait for her arrival." The four of them walked towards the master's meditation room, sat quietly drinking tea, and warmed up by the fire, as if they were spending the winter days like this. Only about an hour later, the painting fan came.It was Mrs. Miaochen who led her in. She wore the same snow-white fox fur coat as me, elegant hair bun, pinned on an ancient emerald jade hairpin, fresh attire, and her natural noble aura. So stunning and charming. She was a little surprised when she saw Concubine Wu and Xie Ronghua for the first time, then she walked forward with a smile, looked at me and said with a smile: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a while, these are sisters in your palace." After finishing speaking, she Shi Li said: "Painting fans, see you ladies." Concubine Wu and the others immediately got up and greeted them: "Girl Huafan is so polite, since she is sister Mei's (sister) old friend and good sister, she is also our sister." I went up to the hand holding the painting fan and said with a smile, "Sister, you are getting more and more beautiful." She laughed and said, "My sister was joking, the painting fan will only wither and grow old gradually, and it will become more and more beautiful." Xie Ronghua also stepped forward to look at the painting fan, and said with a smile: "How come such a beauty is born, she really can be compared with Sister Mei." Concubine Wu nodded in praise and said: "Yes, I heard that back then, you were both top leaders and famous in Jinling." Concubine Wu's words let me know what happened before I entered the palace. Everyone really knew, even Huashan and I And win the oiran, everyone knows. Gu Wanyi smiled slightly towards the painting fan: "I have always known that sister Mei's old friend must be amazing, and the beauty of this city is amazing." I smiled and gave a brief introduction to Hua Fan Jiang Wu Fei and Xie Ronghua. After getting acquainted with each other, I got up to go to the snow to find plums. The hand that has been holding the painting fan has been missing for such a long time, which makes me feel more cordial. After leaving the meditation room, there was a lot of jade and jade, and everyone walked to the backyard of Cuimei Nunnery together.
