Chapter 576: Appreciating the Maple Leaf Forest

"Maple Grove?" Shao Wanru blinked his long eyelashes and didn't think of it for a moment.

"Actually, it's not called a maple forest. There are maple trees all over that area. When I go to see it in autumn, the red leaves are like fire. It's a very beautiful area. It's not open to the public originally, so no one outside knows it. Even if it's five I don’t know if my sister has lived in the mountains for a while.”

Shao Yanru introduced with a smile.

"Then why... is it open now?" Shao Wanru is really not very clear about Yuhui'an. On the one hand, he went up the mountain to avoid the evil hands of Xingguo Duke's government, and on the other hand, he was really sincere about it. My parents are filial piety, and rarely ask about external matters if they are not relevant.

"This maple forest is actually also close to the high wall. It is in the area between the back mountain and the high wall. Originally, because it was close to the high wall and close to the back mountain, Yuhui Temple did not have personnel to guard the place, so it was An area has also been sealed off, and now that area is guarded, the maple forest has been isolated!"

Shao Yanru smiled softly and said, "I saw it from a distance when I was on the mountain before and thought it was very good. I also asked the masters at Yuhui'an and they all thought it was good. So I thought about going with my sister to see it. More beautiful!"

"Okay, let's go take a look together tomorrow!" Shao Wanru nodded and agreed, looking a little curious.

Shao Yanru smiled and left with Shuqi. After leaving the door, she told Shuqi: "Go and prepare a set of silk clothes for me!"

"Miss's clothes are already very plain!" Shuqi looked at Shao Wanfa's light blue dress and said in confusion.

Shao Yanru ignored her and only hooked her hand. She looked at the corridor and saw that there was no one around. She lowered her voice and said, "Tomorrow, let the two mothers-in-law go there too..."

Xu was really looking forward to going to Maple Grove, so early the next morning, Shao Yanru came over with breakfast.

"Sister, what are you..." Shao Wanru was still eating, put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Shao Yanru up and down in astonishment. Although Shao Yanru lived in the nunnery in the past and dressed very plainly, she had never worn Shao Wanru wears the same hidden clothes, and today she is dressed almost exactly like Shao Wanru.

She has a simple bamboo hairpin on her head and wears simple silk clothes on her body. Although she is slightly taller than Shao Wanru, this distance cannot be seen at all if the two of them are not standing next to each other.

"Seeing that the fifth sister has been wearing the silk clothes to keep filial piety for uncle and aunt, today I also wear the same clothes as the fifth sister to express my feelings!" Shao Yanru pulled the silk clothes on her body and smiled, "Fifth sister, you can go now. ?"

What this said is really interesting. Even if Shao Wanru wanted to change his clothes now, he couldn't. After all, this was a feeling of filial piety towards his parents. How could this filial piety be changed?

It seems that Shao Yanru's plan to deal with him today has something to do with these clothes. Thinking of the news that Qing'er went to inquire about yesterday, a trace of sadness flashed in the corner of his eyes, but it was not shown on his face. He said calmly: "Sister, please wait a moment. I’ll leave as soon as I finish combing my hair!”

"I'm waiting for the fifth sister!" Shao Yanru responded with a good temper, sat down on the mat and watched Yu Jie put Shao Wanru's hair in a bun.

This is a quiet room. It is not big originally. It is used for cleaning. Everything is kept simple. Originally, there was no dressing table for Shao Wanru. Yujie just took out a box from it, which contained a few things. Dressing items, and a few small, simple pieces of jewelry.

There were several hairpins inside, all simple in appearance. There was a bamboo hairpin similar to the one on Shao Yanru's head. This was what she used most in the past. But there were also a few jade hairpins. Yu Jie brought them to her, and Shao Wantou took one casually. She handed a hosta to Yujie. Knowing that she meant to use this one, Yujie nodded, put down the box, took out a comb from it and carefully combed Shao Wanru's long hair.

"Why doesn't fifth sister use the bamboo hairpin that she used to use? Originally, she wanted to use something similar to fifth sister." Shao Yanru picked up the tea offered by Qu Le and asked with interest, her eyes sliding over the jade hairpin, really It's a very ordinary hairpin. It's such an ordinary hairpin. I had a few of them when I went up the mountain.

Of course, you cannot wear too beautiful or gorgeous jewelry in the nunnery. This kind of hairpin that looks slightly different but has a simple style is very necessary.

"Then use the same bamboo hairpin as eldest sister!" Shao Wanru smiled casually at Shao Yanru and ordered Yujie.

"Fifth Miss, I have reported this bamboo hairpin to you yesterday. There is a gap on the side. You can only wear it after I have rounded the gap, otherwise it will pierce you!" Yu Jie said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I forgot, then I don't need this bamboo hairpin!" Shao Wan seemed to have suddenly realized it, and reached out to gently pat his white and tender forehead.

"Since it's broken, of course it can't be worn anymore. If this kind of bamboo cannot be polished and rounded, it will get stuck in the head and hurt the hair!" Shao Yanru also advised with a look of concern.

Then he took out a book from under the desk and flipped through a few pages casually. It was a scripture, but Shao Yanru was sure it was not the one he saw yesterday. The cover was neither too big nor too small, and it fit nicely on top. , but it was originally meant to be paired with this book, rather than the book that was read with the cover of the sutra before.

Shao Wanru was smart. He was afraid that he would come and look through it today, so he deliberately took a genuine scripture and placed it here.

But this shows that she is even more guilty.

Shao Wanru's hair was tied up in the simplest way. After Yujie finished it with dexterous hands and feet, she pinned on the hosta she had selected before, fixed the hairstyle, and then looked at a few simple accessories in the box, " It’s rare for my lady to go out to enjoy the scenery, would you like to wear a pair of earrings? Just this string of pearls looks beautiful!”

As he spoke, he took out a pair of pearl earrings from the jewelry box, held them to Shao Wanru's ears and touched them.

"Yujie, the fifth young lady is still wearing the silk clothes!" Shuqi couldn't help but remind her from the side.

"What's wrong with Zhenyi? These earrings don't look obvious. They're just a pair of ordinary earrings. They're white and beautiful. They're not conspicuous. Our lady has been in the mountains for almost three years and has never worn earrings. Now since we are enjoying the scenery, we must wear it!"

Yujie shook the earrings in her hand in confusion and handed them to Shao Wanru.

The earrings are indeed the simplest kind. Under the long chain, three pearls hang down. They are not big or small, but they are very moist. Coupled with the long chain, they are simple, elegant, and very beautiful. , very brilliant, just such a pair of earrings is already very attractive.

"Where did Fifth Sister's pair of earrings come from? They are so beautiful!" Shao Yanru couldn't help but stretched out her hand and said.

Now that she stretched out her hand, Yujie had to put the earrings in her hands and watched her take the pair of pearl earrings.

"I don't know, maybe it was given by my grandmother!" Shao Wanru shook his head.

"The young lady is right. These earrings were indeed given to the young lady by the eldest princess when she went up the mountain last time. She said that the young lady has been keeping mourning for the prince and the princess for almost three years. She can also wear some simple and plain jewelry. This time Yes, it was the one that was sent here." Qu Le introduced with a smile from the side.

Shao Yanru shook the earring in her hand, with a look of admiration in her eyes, and said implicitly: "It's so beautiful. This earring looks simple, but it is actually very luxurious. Even if you are going to a banquet in Beijing, this earring will be perfect. If you go there Standing among all the ladies from aristocratic families, this earring is really eye-catching! The eldest princess really loves the fifth sister very much!"

"Yujie, it's better not to wear these earrings." Shao Wanru shook his head at Yujie and said, "I am observing filial piety now. It is not good to wear such conspicuous and luxurious earrings!"

"Okay, then... let's just take this pair!" Yujie said aggrievedly, reaching out and taking out a pair of earrings from the box. Compared with the earrings just now, this pair of earrings is really inconspicuous. tight.

It was also a pair of pearl earrings, with only one pearl and one earring. If her head dropped a little, no one would notice that she was still wearing the earrings.

"Isn't Fifth Sister too simple? It's better to use this. Since it is the eldest princess's wish, we can't let her feelings go to waste!" Shao Yanru handed the long pearl earrings to Shao Wanru's hands. , advised with a smile.

"No, thank you eldest sister. I'm still in Xiaozhong, so I should focus on simplicity! If I didn't accompany everyone to enjoy the scenery today, these earrings would be unnecessary!" Shao Wanru casually threw the earrings in Yu Jie's hands. In the box, he refused with a smile.

Seeing that Shao Wanru was determined to do this, Yujie had no choice but to put on the pair of extremely simple, almost invisible earrings for Shao Wanru.

After combing it, if you look at it, it's really inconspicuous. If you hadn't looked carefully, who would have noticed that she was also wearing a pair of pearl earrings.

Shao Wanru was extremely satisfied, and of course Shao Yanru was also very satisfied.

No one noticed that Shao Wanru had just held a hairpin in his hand when he was taking the earrings, and now he put it in his sleeve. He didn't know what it was like when he went outside to enjoy the scenery, so he brought an extra sharp hairpin with him. Hairpin is prepared!

After Shao Wanru had settled down, the two of them went out to the courtyard together, leaving Qule and Qing'er behind, taking Yujie with them alone. Before leaving, the two of them deliberately put on the same veil. If it weren't for the two If you stand together and compare them carefully, you really can't tell who is who.

When she reached the door, Shao Yanru suddenly stopped and said humbly to Shao Wanru: "Fifth sister, wait a moment, I left something behind, I'll be right back!"

"Sister, take care of yourself!" Shao Wanru nodded and walked from the courtyard to the outside with a smile. Yu Jie followed closely, and she and Yu Jie were waiting outside the courtyard gate.

Shao Yanru and Shuqi hurried back and came back not long after, and the two of them walked forward together.

It was still early and he didn't meet anyone along the way, but when he arrived at the maple leaf forest, Shao Wanru discovered that there were actually a lot of people here, and many of them were rushing early.

There are not only some women, but also many men. Looking around, I can see that this is the depth of Yuhui Temple. In the past, few men entered the depths of Yuhui Temple. Is there something different about this maple leaf forest?

"Sister, why are there so many men here?" Shao Ruru stood still and asked in shock.
