Su Wan was thinking about the Imperial City and couldn't sleep at night. He lay on the bed and stared at the moon outside the window in a daze.
It wasn't until almost early in the morning that she became too sleepy and fell into a drowsy sleep.
When she woke up the next day, it was already close to noon. She had been sleeping all morning and hadn't eaten anything. She was so hungry that she felt anxious, so she got up, packed everything, and then went to eat something.
"The Master said that Madam might not have slept well last night, and asked us to let Madam sleep without disturbing her. The food will be warmed on the stove."
The guest house of Sounji Temple does not have a kitchen for cooking. I am afraid that guests might take things they shouldn't bring to cook, which would violate the temple's taboos. However, there is a large stove for heating hot water and a bamboo braid. The shelves are good for keeping the food brought back from the canteen warm.
Su Wan was so hungry that she didn't care about it. She ate some in a hurry and felt better after she had something in her stomach.
"Where's the young master?"
"The young master said that he would go down the mountain and come back in the afternoon."
Su Wan was stunned: "He went down the mountain? But what did he say he was going to do?"
Xiao Sang shook his head: "Young Master didn't go into details. He only told me and the two of us to take good care of my wife. If she doesn't wake up at noon, we must wake her up to avoid starvation."
After they left the house, they no longer called Su Wan the princess, but instead called her the madam.
"Then leave him alone."
Su Wan had something on her mind and had no intention of thinking about what Li Lin was going to do when she went down the mountain. After finishing her meal, she walked in the yard. After thinking about it, she took Xiao Sang and Xiao Wei to the main hall to pray for Jinning. Gong and Wang pray for blessings and hope that the two elderly people will be healthy and safe.
By the time she came out of the hall, the sunset had already set on the door of the hall. When she looked up, she happened to see Li Lin standing on the platform in front of the hall, looking up at her.
Her heart moved slightly, she quickly walked down the steps holding up her skirt, and hurried over.
"Slow down and watch your step."
"It's okay, you're back."
"Well, I'm back."
The two returned to Bodhi Garden together, and it happened to be time for dinner again. Li Lin asked Xiao Wei and Yuan You to go to the canteen to get the food back, and then asked Xiao Sang to open the food box he brought back from the mountain.
There were some pickled side dishes, including preserved melon and radish, as well as some minced mushrooms mixed with garlic and black bean sauce, which smelled very good. I also brought back some pastries and seasonal fruits.
"When I was at the bottom of the mountain, I saw someone selling it, so I brought some back. The sauce made from shiitake mushrooms is quite good. Add a spoonful of it and the food will be full of flavor. You can try it later. Preserved melons and radishes can also be used with rice."
The vegetarian food in the Sounji Temple cafeteria is indeed good, but the taste is really bland. The monks are not greedy, so they feel good when they eat it. However, if others eat it, they feel good at first, but later on they feel bad. It feels like it has no flavor anymore.
Meat is not allowed in the temple. Come to think of it, only these pickled radish and melon preserves and this sauce are of some use.
In the past few days, she had been eating in a hurry, barely filling her stomach, and then eating some pastries and fruits to be considered full. If she continued like this, she might lose weight.
Therefore, taking the opportunity to go down the mountain, Li Lin went to a restaurant at the foot of the mountain and spent a lot of money to buy a can of mushroom sauce that was not sold in the store, and then sold some pickled melons and radishes from the people. .
Su Wan mixed green vegetables with mushroom sauce and thought it was very good. The mushroom sauce not only contained mushrooms, black beans and garlic, but also some soybeans, sesame and peanuts.
The sesame and soybeans are fried and very crispy. The peanuts are not only fried, but also chopped into small pieces.
These are blended with the sauce and are very fragrant and go very well with rice.
The preserved melon and radish are also very delicious when pickled.
She actually ate more at this meal than before, and felt very comfortable after eating.
There is some taste in my mouth, and finally it is not like the previous days when I ate vegetarian food and my mouth was tasteless.
She thought to herself that if she persisted for two more days, if she could not wait for the beautiful scenery of colorful clouds, she would have to go down the mountain. She really had no intention of waiting any longer and couldn't bear it.
She didn't mention the matter of the Imperial City again, and Li Lin didn't mention it either. However, after knowing that she went to the main hall to listen to the monks chanting sutras and praying, he followed her the next day. Although the prayer might be of no use, but now they are In a temple, there is no harm in asking for something.
The two of them stayed in the main hall all morning. When they went back in the afternoon, they happened to meet Mrs. Wang, her daughter and Chen Lian.
When Miss Wang saw Li Lin next to Su Wan, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly burst into surprise: "Is it you? Master, is it really you?"
"Sir, where did you go before? Aquarius looked for you for a long time, but you were nowhere to be found!"
Su Wan raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Li Lin, thinking that he had met another Aquarius sister somewhere.
Li Lin was a little confused: "Is this girl mistaken for the wrong person?"
"No, how could I admit the wrong person!" Wang Baoping shook his head vigorously, then pulled Mrs. Wang's sleeve and said, "Mother, this is the young master I told you that saved me back then."
"Young master, you remember that in Chongli County the year before last, I helped a little girl who was alone. It was me, the fat one."
When Mr. Wang did not take up the post of Qingzhou Prefectural Governor, he was the county magistrate of Chongli County. Later, because he was cautious and proper in doing things, he was nominated by King Zhao and approved by the emperor's imperial pen, and became the Qingzhou Prefectural Governor.
Wang Baoping was the beloved daughter of Mr. Wang. She was not very popular because she was born fat. However, when she was in Chongli County, because her father was an official, many girls fawned over her, and they all said she was very good. Later, One day she heard the girls saying that she was fat and ugly, like a pig.
He was so sad that he ran out in tears and lost his way in the market, but was sent back by this young master.
At that time, she cried sadly, and he even tried to persuade her a few words, telling her not to care too much about what other people think, and just live a happy life. If she really cared too much, then try to lose weight and try to be herself. Like the look.
And he also told a set of ways to lose weight. She tried it after returning home. She persisted for more than a year, and she lost a lot of weight.
She was much fatter before than now.
It seems that there is hope in the dark life.
This is simply her benefactor!
Wang Baoping smiled happily: "Sir, I am so happy to see you here. I have been looking for you in the county before, but I couldn't find you."
"Sir, are you here to pray too? Let's go in together."
"I also thought about praying for the young master before, hoping to see him again!"
