The next morning, except for Chu Lingxuan, all the masters and the animal family gathered in the main courtyard. The old marquis came to see the tricolor ball, and the children and the animal family came to see the golden swallow.
The yard was filled with singing and laughter, birds chirping and dogs barking, it was very lively.
Dabao was having so much fun with Jin Yanzi that he didn’t even want to go to school. Even after being glared at by Chen Afu, he still went there obediently with a pout.
At noon, Chu Hanxuan, who learned the news, rushed back at full speed.
Chen Ahfu wanted to go to Lingyin Temple right now, but Chu Lingxuan disagreed. A sedan chair is not as fast as a carriage, and it would take at least four hours. If we set out now, it would be already the evening of the tenth hour when we arrived at Lingyin Temple. Going on the mountain road after dark could easily lead to accidents.
Several people discussed and decided to set out early tomorrow morning, accompanied by Chu Lingxuan. After getting the brocade bag, they would stay overnight at Yingxue Temple and then rush back early in the morning. At the same time, they sent someone to the capital to deliver a letter, hoping that Lord Chu and Mr. Chu San would come here.
In the evening, the children played with Golden Swallow in the main room until very late before going back to rest.
Tomorrow is August 5th. Golden Swallow will go into space to hibernate at night and will not come out until February 26th next year, so Chen Afu let the children play with Golden Swallow for a while longer.
When the children left, Dabao wanted to take Jin Yanzi to Chaohua Courtyard, but little Li Xuan refused and started crying. Jin Yanzi had no choice but to follow Li Xuan to the East Wing, and when he fell asleep, she flew back to Chaohua Courtyard.
At this time, Dabao was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open. Seeing Jinyanzi flying into the tent, he smiled softly and said, "I knew you would come to play with me."
The golden swallow stood beside his pillow until he fell asleep.
At dawn the next day, Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan quietly set out with their servants, with Mother Song still holding the sleeping Chu Hanyan in her arms. Because they were going to Yingxue Temple, they also took the little girl to see her grandmother.
The little girl woke up at the end of the Chen hour and realized that she and Jin Yanzi were the only ones accompanying her father and mother to visit her grandmother. She felt so happy and hugged Chen Afu's face and kissed him several times.
At noon, they passed through a small town. After eating a bowl of noodles each, they hurried on their way.
They finally arrived at Lingyin Temple at 3 p.m.
Monk Guiling's room was next to Monk Wuzhi's room. After hearing the young monk's report, he walked out of the room.
Monk Guiling looked to be in his twenties, tall and thin. Although he was young, he still had the demeanor of a senior monk.
He looked at the pot of tricolor ball with a light in his eyes, and clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, it is indeed a tricolor ball flower. The donor's illness can be cured." He then said to Chu Lingxuan, "Dear guest, please go to the pavilion over there to have some tea. I will go into the meditation room with the female donor to discuss important matters."
Then he said to a little monk, "These two donors are honored guests. Treat them with good tea and do not neglect them."
What he meant was that Chu Lingxuan and Miss Chu were not allowed to enter the meditation room.
Chu Lingxuan felt very embarrassed. In the eyes of Master Wuzhi, he was not as good as his wife, and in the eyes of this young monk, he was still not as good as his wife. What could be the important matter between them? It was just a gift of a golden sachet, why couldn't they give it to him in front of him?
Thinking this way, Chu Lingxuan had no choice but to take the little girl to the pavilion not far away.
After entering the Zen room, Chen Afu covered his right hand with his sleeve and took out the purse containing the green bird's nest from the space. The Zen room was immediately filled with an indescribable fragrance.
She handed the purse to Monk Gui Ling and said, "This is the herbal medicine that Master Wu Zhi asked me to find for Master Gui Ling." Fearing that the young monk might be as greedy as the old monk, she added, "This is the last time. I will never be able to find this medicine again no matter what happens."
Gui Ling took the purse, and hurriedly took out the green bird's nest to have a look. He immediately smiled, stuffed the handkerchief back into the purse, and said with a smile, "Amitabha, the donor has done a great good deed again."
He went into the inner room and put away the green bird's nest, then took out a purple brocade bag and came to the hall, saying, "Amitabha, this is the brocade bag that my master asked me to give to the female donor before he left. I hope the female donor's family can avoid disasters and turn bad times into good times."
When Chen Ahfu saw the lucky bag in Gui Ling's hand, he was so excited that he rushed to grab it. After listening to Gui Ling's long-winded talk, he finally took the lucky bag.
Monk Guiling said again, "Amitabha, my master also asked me to remind you that this brocade bag refers to two things. Remember!"
Two things! Are there two disasters? Chen Ahfu nodded suspiciously and said, "Thank you, Master Guiling." She stuffed the sachet into her arms and walked out of the Zen room.
She came outside, and Chu Lingxuan came over with Miss Chu. Chen Afu nodded to him.
What Chen Afu didn't notice was that the monk Guiling who followed her out also nodded to Chu Lingxuan and made a gesture.
Afterwards, Chu Lingxuan took his wife, daughter and servants out of the temple.
After leaving the temple, Chen Afu and the little girl got into the sedan chair, Chu Lingxuan got on the horse, and they walked together towards Yingxue Temple on the mountainside.
Only when he touched the treasure bag in his arms did Chen Afu have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
She lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. This season was the most colorful time for Honglin Mountain. The tips of the weeds and trees had begun to turn yellow, and some maple leaves had begun to turn red. The colors of red, yellow, and green progressed in sequence, and were gorgeous and colorful.
Before reaching Yingxue Temple, I could see Abbot Chen standing in the pavilion looking down.
Chu Lingxuan's nose was sore. His mother hadn't seen her family for more than a month. She must have missed them terribly. He squeezed his legs together and urged his horse to run over quickly.
Lechen also saw them and walked quickly towards them.
When he got there, Chu Lingxuan dismounted, bowed to Chen, and called out, "Mother."
Liaochen raised his hand and touched his son's face, saying with tears in his eyes, "Seeing you again, I missed you so much."
"My son also misses his mother." Chu Lingxuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Miss Chu's voice, "Sister misses grandma, mother misses grandma, brother misses grandma, we all miss grandma."
The little girl's words amused Lechen.
The little granddaughter is becoming more cheerful and smarter.
The little girl bowed to Chen and threw herself into his arms.
As he was talking, Chen Ahfu also walked over, knelt down and saluted Chen, and said with a smile, "Grandma."
Lechen looked at the pot-bellied Chen Afu with a smile, but still said angrily, "With such a big belly, why are you still here? What if you feel uncomfortable? Come on, go to the room and have a rest."
Arriving at the backyard of the nunnery, Chen Afu let Zhuo Lechen feel his pulse and listened to her chatter for a few words before he made the excuse of being tired and went straight into her special little room.
Chu Lingxuan followed in. His eyebrows were knitted together, his handsome face was extremely serious, and he looked at Chen Afu without blinking.
Chen Ahfu locked the door and handed him the brocade bag. Chu Lingxuan opened the brocade bag and took out a piece of paper with the following words written on it: "At the end of the year, the snow is heavy and the end of the month is clear. When the sky is clear and the clouds are light, do not travel north."
