What Qiao Ling'er didn't know was that Fang Jinshi could coax Xue Ling even if he didn't give her anything, and it was always a bad idea to give this gold hairpin to Xue Ling after he got it from Cai Yunlian.
But when he saw Qiao Ling'er, Fang Jinshi thought of promising her to come to Bianliang City and take her to find the one-handed old nun to marry her. Anyway, there was nothing to do now. Early the next morning, Fang Jinshi asked Qiao Ling'er to drive. Go with him to Chengyun Temple outside the city.
After leaving the city gate, Fang Jinshi saw that there were gradually fewer people on the road, so he said to Qiao Ling'er, "I'll drive, you can take a rest."
Qiao Ling'er agreed and got into the car. Fang Jinshi was sitting in front with her while driving the car, talking and touching each other, but when he saw that she didn't seem to be in a particularly good mood, he thought that he might be about to meet her mother. Yes, a little nervous.
Along the way, we soon arrived at the foot of Chengyun Temple. Fang Jinshi left the carriage at a nearby farmhouse and walked up the mountain with Qiao Ling'er. Qiao Ling'er was silent along the way and just followed him silently.
As soon as Fang Jinshi arrived at the mountain gate, he met Master Guanyun. She actually recognized Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi casually chatted with her for a few words and then inquired about the whereabouts of the one-handed nun Shanshuang.
Master Guanyun asked the bhikshuni in the temple and said that Shanshuang was plowing the vegetable field at the foot of the mountain. Fang Jinshi thanked Master Guanyun and took Qiao Ling'er down the path beside the temple to the mountainside, a long way away. Then I saw a one-handed old nun digging in the vegetable field with a hoe.
Under the scorching sun, the old nun worked hard with his back to them. Many parts of his upper body were soaked with sweat. The old nun wiped the sweat with his sleeve after hoeing a few times. It looked like he was working very hard.
Fang Jinshi walked a few steps and found that Qiao Ling'er behind him was standing still. Fang Jinshi knew that she was timid about intimacy, so he walked over and took her hand forward. When they reached the vegetable field, Fang Jinshi said: " Master Shanshuang, please take a rest."
The one-handed old nun looked back when he heard the sound, and Fang Jinshi said again: "Junior, I have something to ask you."
Shanshuang put down the hoe, walked over and performed a Buddhist salute with one hand: "The donor has returned to Bianliang?"
She saw Fang Jinshi reaching out to hold Qiao Ling'er, and her eyebrows moved. Qiao Ling'er glanced at her and lowered her head when she saw that she was looking directly at her.
Fang Jinshi said: "Yes, Master, let's go to a cool place under the tree to talk."
Shanshuang walked with him to the shade of the tree, and Fang Jinshi said: "The Golden Eyebrow Tea that Master gave me last time was so good that I drank it in a few days. I miss it very much. Can Master give me some more?"
Shanshuang said: "I will go back and get it from the donor."
Fang Jinshi said: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, but I can't bother you all the time, Master. There is a girl next to me who also wants to learn your tea-baking skills. I wonder if Master can teach her?"
Shanshuang looked at Qiao Ling'er again and said, "I don't dare to hide my secrets. The female donor mainly teaches, and I will be the professor myself."
Fang Jinshi turned back to Qiao Ling'er and said, "Qiao Ling'er, why don't you thank Master Shanshuang quickly?" He deliberately called Qiao Ling'er by her full name. Upon hearing this, Shanshuang's expression changed greatly, and even the hair on his shoulders Trembling slightly, Qiao Ling'er lowered her head and did not dare to look at her, nor did she answer Fang Jinshi's words.
Fang Jinshi touched Qiao Ling'er and said, "Take out the pair of longevity locks."
Only then did Qiao Ling'er come back to her senses and took out the pair of longevity locks from her waist. Fang Jinshi took them and brought them to Shan Shuang's eyes and said, "Master gave me one before, and I got the other one as well." .¡±
Shanshuang excitedly grabbed two longevity locks, looked at them over and over again, raised her eyes to Fang Jinshi and said, "She"
Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "Her name is Qiao Ling'er, she is Qiao Huaishan's daughter and also your daughter."
Before he finished speaking, Shanshuang was so excited that he couldn't speak. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve, not knowing whether to wipe sweat or tears. Fang Jinshi pushed Qiao Ling'er on the back and said, "Let your mother Take a good look at you.¡±
Qiao Ling'er rushed to Shan Shuang and Shan Shuang hurriedly supported her. Qiao Ling'er was frightened and looked back at Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi had already strode away and said as he walked: "You guys keep talking, I'll go somewhere else." "
He couldn't bear to see such an exciting and tragic scene, and he didn't even dare to look back to take another look. He hurriedly walked far away as if running away before he dared to look back. From a distance, he saw Shan Shuang hugging Qiao Ling'er and crying. Fang Jinshi walked further until he could no longer see it through the forest, and then he found a place to sit under the shade of a tree.
The countryside in the distance was peaceful, and the fields on the mountains were lush and green. Fang Jinshi picked up a thatch root and put it in his mouth, chewing its sweet taste. As he looked far away, a path to a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain suddenly ran away. Many people rushed towards a tree in the village. Under the big tree, Fang Jinshi didn't know what to see, but since there was nothing going on, he might as well go and have a look.
So he went down the mountain along the road and came under the big tree. There was a well under the big tree. All the people gathered around the well and didn't know what they were doing.
A woman screamed: "If you don't get out of the way, we will arrest you all." Fang Jinshi stood outside the circle of people and looked around. This woman turned out to be the palace maid Zhang Xi'er. There were several palace maids around her. Fang Jinshi took a closer look, and sure enough, Then I saw Zhao Duofu, the concubine of Roufu.
This group of people gathered around the wellhead and didn¡¯t know what they were doing. After a while, there was a noise from the crowd. Fang Jinshi stood on a high place and looked in. A few words of farmer were pulling an old Taoist nun out of the wellhead.
This old Taoist nun was about fifty years old. She still had scratches on her face and one of her shoes was missing. Her clothes under her waist were covered with water and mud. She looked very embarrassed, but she had a smile on her face. , seemingly unconcerned.
Seeing her like this, the onlookers couldn't help but laugh. A villager next to Fang Jinshi said: "A Taoist nun who is several decades old, drinking can fall into a well, she is really shameless."
A villager next to him heard it, pushed him and said, "What did you say? Master Miaojing has done good deeds and built bridges and roads. The bridge in front of your house was also built by her. Don't leave in the future."
The villager who spoke earlier said: "I'm just talking"
Fang Jinshi heard that the old Taoist nun was called Immortal Miaojing and remembered that Feng Wan had said before that Feng Bao gave an old Taoist nun a drink under the pretext of sending oil. It seemed that she was the one. This old Taoist nun had lived a long time. , is also so interesting, and she really has a good attitude. Zhao Duofu came to visit her many times, but he didn¡¯t know what his previous identity was.
After the Taoist nun was rescued, the villagers gradually dispersed. Zhao Duofu led a large group of her followers and accompanied Master Miaojing to a Taoist temple on another mountain in the distance. When Fang Jinshi was bored, he saw how cool it was under the tree at the entrance of the well, so he lay down to rest under the tree.
After a long time, Fang Jinshi saw a group of followers of Emperor Roufu descending from the mountain carrying a sedan, and knew that Zhao Duofu was going back.
The group of them walked past Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi saw Zhang Xi'er walking by, and his heart moved. He stood up and shouted from a distance: "Sister Zhang, sister Zhang."
Zhang Xi'er heard the sound and stopped to look at him. She walked up to Fang Jinshi in confusion and said, "You called me?"
Zhang Xi'er looked at him carefully, shook her head, and Fang Jinshi said: "I met Sister Zhang in the former Prince Yun's Mansion, and Empress Di Ji asked me to hand over a bead."
Zhang Xier suddenly realized, pointed at him and said: "Ohit's you, you are Mr. Gao's friend."
Fang Jinshi said: "I saw you a few times later, but you forgot about it."
Zhang Xier said embarrassedly: "I have a bad memory, what can I do to you?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I just came back from Jiangnan. There has been no news about Mr. Gao, and I don't know where he is now. I want to ask Empress Di Ji if Sister Twenty is willing to see me."
Zhang Xier said: "I don't know I don't know. I don't dare to raise my profile in front of her. My face doesn't look good when I mention her. I'll ask her for you."
Zhang Xier hurried away and came back after a while. She said to Fang Jinshi, "She said she didn't know, so you can go find out on your own."
Fang Jinshi had no choice but to give up. He watched Zhao Duofu's carriage team leave here and gradually go away. He originally thought about whether he could help Zhao Duofu meet Gao Chong and Qiao Ling'er's mother Shanshuang. From then on, Qiao Ling'er It would be easier to formally recognize Gao Chong's brother and sister, but seeing that Gao Chong was at odds with Zhao Duofu, the matter had to be ignored.
Fang Jinshi stayed for a while and then went back to the vegetable field in the middle of the mountain. There was no one there anymore. He guessed that Shanshuang had taken Qiao Ling'er to Chengyun Temple, so he walked to the gate of Chengyun Temple and asked A bhikshuni, Shanshuang, came out soon and said to Fang Jinshi, "Thank you so much for your kindness. I would like to keep her here for a while. Is that possible?"
Of course Fang Jinshi couldn't say no, and immediately agreed. Shanshuang took another jar of Jinmei tea as a gift to him. Fang Jinshi took the jar of tea down the mountain and drove the carriage back alone. On the way, he was thinking that a good-looking and capable woman would be replaced by another. Jars of tea, this business is really a companion.
He returned to Bianliang City and went to Prince Xu¡¯s Mansion the next day to find Gao Chong. People there said that Gao Chong had left Prince Xu¡¯s Mansion a long time ago, and there was quite a bit of dissatisfaction with Gao Chong in his words.
Fang Jinshi had no choice but to go to Yu Wenxuzhong to ask. The last news he got was that Gao Chong had meritorious service, and Yu Wenxuzhong arranged for him to go to Luoyang Military Equipment Bureau to become a Wu Delang general.
Fang Jinshi was a little happy when he heard that Gao Chong had joined the military. However, seeing the relationship between Gao Chong and Zhao Duofu, Fang Jinshi felt a little guilty. He promised Gao Chong that Gao Chong would participate.In fact, although Gao Chong had made meritorious service and had a military position, Zhao Kai, who was now an official, did not even believe him, let alone lobby for Gao Chong to become the consort.
Fang Jinshi went to the Military Equipment Bureau of Luoyang Prefecture to look for him again. Gao Chong happened to be sent to Shaanxi on official business, but he didn't see him again.
Fang Jinshi was thinking about how he could find a way to have a good chat with Gao Chong and find a way to facilitate it. Now that he thought about it, it was really difficult.
