Chapter 35

Gu Jiao carried the basket to the other side of the mountain.

The temple is in the middle of the mountain. It's very difficult to walk. There is still a section of road in the middle without steps. It's full of snow. Fortunately, Gu Jiao has been here since she called. She is diligent in climbing and exercising, but she has not been dissuaded by the dangerous mountain road.

She walked faster than ordinary people, but she still walked for an hour. It was almost noon when she arrived at the temple.

The temple is not very big. The simple and vicissitudes of life plaque has a few characters of Ning'an temple. I don't know if it's because of the lack of snow and people. Gu Jiao didn't meet a pilgrim along the way.

There are not many monks in the temple. Gu Jiao has been in for a long time, but none of them has been seen.

"No, this temple is empty, isn't it?"

But the floor is clean, like someone takes care of it every day.

Just thinking about it, Gu Jiao came to Guanyin hall. Standing behind the pillar, she glanced into the hall and finally saw today's first living person.

It was a lady in silk and satin. Although she was well-dressed, she was not swaggering. A white cloak was draped over her, like a reflection of snow.

From Gu Jiao's point of view can only see each other's back, but can feel each other's body that gentle and elegant atmosphere.

She kowtowed a few piously and put her hands together: "may the Bodhisattva bless my son safe and smooth..."

Even the voice is gentle and pleasant.

Gu Jiao seldom pays attention to a stranger, especially a woman. She doesn't like women, right?

But when he was distracted, a Jiao drink came from one side: "where's the little thing from? How dare you peep at my wife

Gu Jiao returns to her senses and looks in the direction of her cheering voice. On the corridor opposite, she sees a maid wearing bean green Bijia. The object of her scolding is not herself, but some young monks who don't know when to lie behind another pillar.

The little monks saw that the beauty had been caught, whimpered and ran away in panic.

So there are monks, but such a small monk!

One of them runs backwards and runs towards Gu Jiao. Baji bumps into Gu Jiao's leg and falls on the ground.

Gu Jiao was a little girl who was in the same place, and suddenly wanted to help him!

But without waiting for her to reach out, xiaotuanzi got up and ran away.

The lady who worships the Bodhisattva in the hall came out and said to the green Bijia maid, "Liu Er, don't be rude."

"Madame." The servant girl, who was called liu'er, murmured and walked forward. "A few little guys don't want to teach me a lesson. After a while, they'll kick their noses on their faces and have to run to your Zen room to make trouble!"

"It's all children." Said the lady.

The servant girl curled her lips and seemed to disagree, but she didn't continue to contradict her wife.

Just when Gu Jiao thought they were going to leave, her wife suddenly looked at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao's body shape is completely blocked by the pillar, even the servant girl who is coming towards her doesn't find it, and I don't know how the lady is aware of herself.

"Who?" The servant girl was on the alert for a moment.

Gu Jiao had to come out.

She was wearing a shabby Lilac Floral jacket, brown cotton trousers, a pair of black cloth shoes that had been soaked in snow on her feet, and a small old basket on her back. However, she was not good at combing women's hair, so she picked her hair and put a ball on the top of it.

She was dressed like a poor country girl, not to mention a red birthmark on her face.

There was a trace of contempt on the servant girl's face.

But there was no dislike in her eyes.

When the snow stopped, the roof eaves of the temple were covered with auspicious snow, the beautiful scenery of the mountain was covered with silver, and the world was a vast expanse of ice, but all of these were not as beautiful as her.

Gu Jiao is also the first time to see such a beautiful woman.

But the most beautiful is her temperament, gentle and elegant, quiet and dignified.

"Did you come to see Guanyin Bodhisattva, too?" The lady asked Gu Jiao with a smile.

What a gentle voice, what a gentle smile

Gu Jiao Leng Lengshen, Fang said: "no, I'm looking for the abbot."

His wife said with a smile: "the abbot has gone down the mountain..."

In the middle of the conversation, another servant girl came with a food box. There was ice on the road. Her feet slipped and she rushed forward.

She did not say, the hand of the box also flew out, see about to hit the lady, Gu Jiao a lunge forward, with her arm to block the box.

The food box scattered in the air, and the leaves of the soup and vegetables came out, pouring Gu Jiao's whole body!

"Ma'am, are you all right?" Liu Er looked anxiously at his wife.

The lady shook her head: "I'm ok."

After that, she turned her head and looked at Gu Jiao. She was worried in her eyes: "it's this girl. What's the matter with you?"

Just as she stood in front of her, the flying food box was meant to hit her. It was not the little girl who blocked her. I was afraid that her face would be broken.

"No problem." Gu Jiao said.

It's too cold. The dishes are not hot any more. It's just that the soup sticks on the body.

The lady looked at her in a mess and felt guilty. She looked at the maid who fell to the ground and sighed: "can't you walk well?"

That servant girl also falls not light, knee all swollen, she holds back the pain to get up, grievance way: "the road is too slippery..."

The lady also understood that she didn't mean to hurt other people's girls, but she didn't go on purpose in her heart and said to Gu Jiao, "it's all because I have no way to discipline her. I've soiled her clothes and asked her to come with me to change her clean clothes."

Gu Jiao thought about it and didn't refuse.

This lady seems to be a frequent visitor to this temple. There is a separate Zen room in the temple. The Zen room is at the end of the corridor. It looks like the same as other Zen rooms, but the furnishings inside are elegant and quiet, which complement her temperament.

The two servant girls came into the room together.

The lady asked the maid in green Bijia named Liu Er to open the cage.

Liu ER was not happy: "madam, here are all the ladies' clothes!"

Where should a country girl wear their lady's clothes?

The lady's gentle color gathered three points: "you go out and bring in a new meal, remember to give this girl a share."

The servant girl felt the master's authority and bowed her head to answer: "yes."

The lady herself picked a suit of clothes from the box and gave it to Gu Jiao: "I don't know if my daughter's clothes fit you, but it's better than a wet one. You can change them quickly."

Gu Jiao went to the screen and changed her clothes.

I thought it would be a little big, but it fitted unexpectedly.

"It suits you." The lady said with a smile that it was her daughter's dress, but the little girl was more bright. "How old are you this year?"

Gu Jiao replied, "fourteen."

Lady Mou son a bright: "and my daughter is the same age, my daughter was born in this temple."

Gu Jiao: what a coincidence. Me too.
