The next morning, the whole family of Pei Mansion started to prepare for the old lady to leave for Baihe Temple. Because it was a long way out of the city, I left my sedan chair and went to the car. The old lady asked Jiafu to sit in one with her, accompanied by Yuzhu, Mrs. They set off head to tail, with passers-by standing and watching. A few miles away from the south gate, where the moat flows through, a quiet and dense place with greenery is the White Crane Temple.
Pei You'an knew that the old lady was traveling today, and she was accompanied by many female relatives. Although Pei Xiuzhi had gone there to prepare and wait, and was escorted by Pei Xiuluo and the stewards on the way, he was not at ease after all, fearing that he would be bumped into, so he specifically submitted a leave of absence early in the morning and stayed at home, personally. Arrive under escort.
The Taoist nun here is middle-aged, and her Taoist name is Xuchen. Yesterday, she knew that Mrs. Pei was going to bring all the female relatives from home to have a ritual ceremony today. Pei Xiuzhi arrived early in the morning.
Pei You'an escorted the old lady to the gate of the Taoist temple, but the old lady urged her to go back several times, saying: "You asked for leave from Long Live. Although it is out of filial piety, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you. It's hard for you to blame me for taking care of you." Don't make a bad mistake. I'm here, and you have nothing to do with the rest. Go back quickly. You don't need to come to pick us up today. Your second uncle will come to greet us. "
Xu Chen smiled and said: "When Mrs. Tai arrives at the old Taoist nun's place, it means that the old Heavenly Lord has descended to earth. How can the old Taoist nun dare to slack off? Don't worry, Mr. Pei."
Pei You'an thanked Xu Chen for his troubles, and told Pei Xiuzhi and Pei Xiuluo to take good care of them, and asked the stewards and leaders to guard the doors and not let outsiders come in at will. After giving the instructions, before turning around, he looked at the people standing next to Mrs. Pei. Gafo.
Jia Fu had been looking at him just now. Seeing his gaze, she couldn't help but think of the scene when she returned to the study last night. After he was done, he personally helped her wipe her body. He treated her with all kinds of pity, which reminded her that she felt like she was in a dream, not like reality, and her heart was filled with sweetness and satisfaction that could not be expressed in words.
Jiafu knew that he liked to smile, but at this moment in the public, she naturally did not dare to smile at him. She only pursed her lips slightly, and a small pear dimple appeared on her lips, which was really cute.
Pei You'an didn't have much expression. He only glanced at her again, then dropped his gaze, mounted his horse and left, his back gradually disappearing from the end of his sight.
The old lady asked Jiafu and Yuzhu to support her, and she and Xuchen entered the gate. Behind her, Mrs. Xin and Mrs. Xin and a group of servants and girls also filed in. Although there were many people, there was no noise. Mrs. Pei arrived first. In the main hall, I held incense and knelt down to the Three Saints of Qingxu, silently recited prayers, and after making donations, I was led around to look around.
The White Crane Temple is very large, with three courtyards in the front and back connected to each other. There are three gates to the temple, and there are many things to see. The old lady looked at a few places briefly and then stopped. Xu Chen thought she was tired and wanted to lead her to his monastery to sit down. The old lady waved her hand and said, "Why don't you see Han Zhennv Dao?"
Xu Chen hurriedly said: "She is in the temple at the moment. It's just that the old lady doesn't know something, because she is different from others. Although she is my disciple in name, I don't dare to really call myself my master. She has always been aloof, and she doesn't want to When she was disturbed, I set aside a place for her to rest alone in the back. Whether she opened or closed the door on weekdays was all up to her. And in the past few months, a seriously ill child came to her place. She said it was her. Brother, I used to hide from people and got sick all over. Now she has taken her here and settled in her place. I am afraid that if something goes wrong, let alone go there casually. I only see what she lacks. I will give it to her. Just send it to her."
Xu Chen's tone was vaguely dissatisfied. After hearing this, Mrs. Pei became even more intolerable and sighed: "I was originally the daughter of a noble family, Luo Qi Wenxiu. I remember that she came to my home as a guest when I was a child. Although her temperament was a bit light, she was not like others. The girl is so clingy, but she is also very sensible. It's a pity that she is in such a bad situation. Now that she is in this situation, her integrity is even more rare. I'm afraid ordinary men can't compare to her. "
Xu Chen said with a smile: "It will be different when Mrs. Tai comes here. I will call someone to call her here. I have met Mrs. Tai."
The old lady said: "She is no better than before. Now she is a monk. She jumped five feet away and is no longer in the mortal world. How can I ask her to be a commoner like me? I'd better go and see for myself." As she said this, she took Jiafu's hand and said, Continue to move forward.
Xu Chen said: "The Madam is a bodhisattva who has the most compassion for the weak. I have heard about it before, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, the rumors are true." While guiding the old lady, he winked at the young apprentice next to him. , the little apprentice understood and ran away quickly.
Jiafu supported Mrs. Pei, followed by Mrs. Xin, the Second Madam and others, and walked all the way to the back view direction pointed by Xuchen. Gradually, she saw a quiet scene. At the end of the road ahead, there was a green wall and two black doors. , several green bamboo poles were exposed in the wall.
"Madam, that's right in front." Xu Chen pointed.Seeing that the people had come out, they hurriedly directed the stewards to arrange their return journey. After a short period of confusion, the group of people got into the carriage one by one as they had come in the morning, and headed towards the city.
On the way back, Jiafu was a little worried, while the old lady was a little sleepy and closed her eyes to rest. Yuzhu also seemed to be worried and didn't take the initiative to speak. The carriage was quiet, only the sound of wheels could be heard. As they gradually approached the fork in the city gate, a group of ten people suddenly appeared on horseback. They were wearing colorful jade saddles. The horses were very fast. In a blink of an eye, they were approaching. The Pei family coachman who was driving the first carriage was not careful for a moment. He suddenly stopped his horse, and due to his haste, not only did the two car doors open by himself, but the old lady in the car also swayed forward. Fortunately, Jiafu and Yuzhu both supported her, and she did not fall forward. However, Jiafu and Yuzhu themselves had hit the carriage wall. Although they did not fall, their shoulders were a little painful from the impact. They subconsciously raised their faces and looked forward.
The car door had just been opened and closed again, but in such a short period of time, Jiafu had already seen that at the fork in the road ahead, it was Xiao Yintang and the people behind him who caused the Pei family's driver's mistake. of followers.
His eyes also looked over, and landed on her face impartially. His lip muscles moved slightly, and his gaze instantly became strange.
The carriage door bounced back on its own, covering the people in the car instantly.
Mrs. Pei opened her eyes.
Jiafu calmed down and listened carefully. Outside, Pei Quan quickly dismounted, led Pei Xiuzhi, Pei Xiuluo and a group of servants, and saluted Xiao Yintang, who had just rode from the side road and was about to return to the city. He didn't say much. The sound of footsteps came, and the footsteps quickly stopped in front of the carriage. Then, Xiao Yintang's voice came in, and it sounded very respectful: "I don't know if Mrs. Pei was driving by, but I was reckless here." , if there is a collision, I hope the old lady will not blame you."
The imperial court has a system, and officials of the first and second grades and wives of the first and second grades are exempted from kneeling down when they see the prince. Mrs. Pei stood across the door and said loudly: "How dare you be so courteous to the prince? Returning to the city blocks the prince's way, so it's up to us to collide. I will ask people to give way and ask the prince to enter the city first."
Xiao Yintang said: "The old lady is highly virtuous and highly respected. Even my father respects me, not to mention me? Please be sure to ask the old lady to pass first. It doesn't matter if I wait." The tone sounded extremely sincere, and along with the words, there was a burst of With the noise, the group of people seemed to be clattering to the side of the road.
Mrs. Pei said: "I cannot thank you enough for your humility, but it would be rude."
Pei Quan saw Xiao Yintang's eyes falling on the two carriage doors, with a smile on his face, as if he really wanted to get out of the way, so he had no choice but to lead the people to get up and urge the motorcade to pass.
Xiao Yintang stopped on the side of the road, watching the carriage carrying her disappear gradually, his eyes flickering, and he could see a strange color.
¡¡
At night, Xiao Yintang returned from the farewell banquet hosted by the emperor for his uncle Zhou Jin. He was half drunk and his steps were swaying. When he entered the East Palace, he thought of the woman in the carriage he met on the road during the day. Although it was only a brief glance, that picture The beautiful face was more and more engraved in my mind, and I couldn't get rid of it. I felt a bit angry. Before I went to bed, I randomly dragged a concubine named Cao who was just promoted to a side concubine to an Arhat couch. In the middle of venting, I was drunk. He was confused, staring at the woman under him, with peach cheeks and jade face in a daze, and gritted his teeth: "Ms. Zhen! Do you think you can avoid me forever after marrying Pei You'an? You're dreaming!"
Mrs. Cao was out of breath because of him, but suddenly she heard him say these words, staring at her with blood-red eyes, as if she was drunk and awake. She was frightened in her heart and said hurriedly: "Prince, you made a mistake. I am the concubine." The Cao family is not the Zhen family!"
Xiao Yintang's alcoholic breath subsided, and he slowly stopped, staring at the woman under him, his eyes gradually getting colder, he stretched out a hand, and gently touched her fair and smooth neck with his fingertips.
Ms. Cao thought he was continuing, so she closed her eyes slightly and groaned. Suddenly her throat tightened and a hand was clamped tightly, tightening it tighter and tighter. Her face turned red and she struggled desperately, but she couldn't get free. , only one last hard kick, knocking a screen at the end of the couch to the ground, making a "crash" sound, a few more gurgling sounds in his throat, his eyes turned white, and his body gradually softened.
Zhang Fengtong just heard the commotion inside and knew that the prince was favoring Mrs. Cao. He secretly endured the sadness and drove the palace people away. He was guarding outside and faintly heard the words of the prince just now. Then he heard something wrong. He hurried in and saw Mrs. Cao. His eyes rolled back, and there were five deep fingerprints on his neck. He had actually strangled him to death.
Zhang Fengtong was startled and stared at Ms. Cao on the couch.
Although Cao's family background is relatively low, her father was only a minor official in Wuding, but he has outstanding appearance and figure, and is well versed in the art of flattery. He has always been favored by Xiao Yintang. Zhang Fengtong is newly married, and the prince has never slept with her once or twice. This time, Mr. Cao was feeling proud. Zhang Fengtong originally tolerated it secretly, but he didn't expect that he would strangle him to death out of the blue.
It doesn¡¯t matter if someone dies, but not long after Cao was registered as a concubine, she entered the royal family, and her father was promoted to a fourth-rank official. There must be an explanation for such a sudden death.
She looked at Xiao Yintang, saw him turning over, sitting up from the couch, and said coldly: "Don't you have a reputation for being virtuous and capable? I'll leave this place to you." After saying that, she turned around and walked inside.
Zhang Fengtong watched Xiao Yintang's back disappear, turned to the dead Cao, stared at it for a long time, and said slowly: "Don't blame me, blame the woman who harmed you."
