Chapter 1106: Pilgrimage to Fayun Temple
This capital city does have some interesting flavor!
Once there is a chance, there will be a second one. Anyway, Qiao Xuan had already been to the Fourth Prince's villa, and when she was invited by several ladies to pay homage, Shao Yunduan did not stop her.
It was impossible for his wife not to go out, and they had no way to leave the capital for the time being. He shouldn't be too nervous, he should believe what she said.
She has never been a person without sense of propriety.
Fayun Temple is one of the eight major temples in the suburbs of Beijing. It is located in Yushan Mountain in the northern suburbs. It is majestic and majestic, surrounded by waterfalls, springs, strange peaks and rocks. The scenery is extremely beautiful, and the scenery is particularly charming in spring and autumn.
During these two seasons, there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming to the temple to burn incense and enjoy the scenery of the back mountain.
For example, the young ladies including Madam Su, the wife of the Imperial Censor Su, who came with Qiao Xuan that day, were more like traveling together to relax than to pay homage.
The scenery behind the Fayun Temple is particularly beautiful, but the vegetarian food in the temple is very ordinary. On the contrary, there is a restaurant called Xifeng at the foot of the mountain. The taste is excellent. They use country game for freshness, but surprisingly, it is very appealing to the tastes of wealthy pilgrims in Beijing, and the business is very prosperous every day.
Madam Su, Qiao Xuan and their group, including more than a dozen maids and old women - Qiao Xuan still did not bring Lixia or Liqiu today. They booked a private room at Xifeng and went to Fayun Temple.
Fayun Temple is located halfway up the mountain, and it is really difficult for these pampered ladies to walk up there.
The carriage could not go straight up to the temple, so everyone took a sedan chair instead and arrived at the temple after about two quarters of an hour.
This day was not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, so there were not many pilgrims coming to burn incense. They went into the temple to worship, and then listened to the sermons of the highly respected master in the incense hall in the small courtyard where they rested.
This was Qiao Xuan's first time in the Fayun Temple. After listening to the master's lecture, they sat and drank tea, talking with relish about some words about cause and effect, retribution for good and evil. She didn't like listening to this very much, so she smiled and said, "Go outside for a walk and take a look around."
Who knew that when Qiao Xuan and Lixia returned to the courtyard, Madam Su and the others were no longer there. The young monk who stayed behind put his hands together and bowed to her, saying politely, "Donor Qiao, the female donors have already gone to the back mountain. I will wait for you here and take you there. Please go in, Donor Qiao."
Qiao Xuan nodded in return and said with the same polite smile, "That's great. In that case, thank you, little master."
"I don't deserve it. Please, Mr. Qiao."
"please!"
Seeing that Qiao Xuan didn't seem to mind at all, the young monk smiled and calmly led her to the back mountain.
Qiao Xuan walked leisurely and enjoyed the scenery along the way, and she was indeed not worried at all.
What did she have to worry about? Once she got to the mountain, would she be afraid that the pampered ladies would play some tricks on her? Not at all!
She couldn't help but feel a little eager to try, wanting to see if they could do something and how their methods would compare to those of the locals.
After all, this is the capital city!
The scenery of the mountain behind Fayun Temple is indeed worthy of its reputation. When you look up, you can see strange peaks and rocks, which are eye-catching. The mountains in autumn are colorful and charming. There are streams flowing through the mountains, passing through several places with large and small drops, forming large and small waterfalls. The sound of the waterfalls and the crisp sound of the streams adding a touch of agility to the beautiful mountain scenery.
