Nothing happened overnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early the next morning, Qin Hanzhen freshened up and dressed, and took Qingxing to Qingfeng Pavilion to greet his grandfather and grandmother, and had breakfast together by the way. After breakfast, the family was ready to go.

Zhao Mo is wearing a gray-blue muslin robe today, dressed smartly, just like a young man from a solid family, looking a little more handsome than usual. Qin Hanzhen himself was wearing a moon white shirt with a gray and blue cloth skirt, but he seemed to be a couple, and the two of them stood together, which was very conspicuous. Niu also smiled and said, "You two are dressed the same, but you look like two brothers and sisters in the family." ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "This is like a family trip." Zhao Mo smiled slightly, and stepped forward to support Qin Bai: "Then I will help my uncle and grandfather to go, it will be more like a family." Qin Bai laughed.

The three-room group did not go to the gate of the Hou Mansion, but went out of the west gate outside the gate of the Qingfeng Pavilion, and walked along Qingyun Lane to the southwest corner gate to leave the house. Uncle Hu and Hu Yong, father and son, had already driven the carriage and waited outside the door. Qin Bai and Niu, except for their grandson Brother Zi'er and granddaughter Qin Hanzhen, as well as Zhao Mo, only brought the Hu family of three to serve them, and Brother Zi'er was held by Mama Hu, and he didn't bring anyone else, which was very low-key. Qin Hanzhen followed his grandmother, younger brother and Mama Hu into the second car driven by Hu Yong, and Qin Bai took Zhao Mo to the one driven by Uncle Hu in front. When he stepped on the footstool and boarded the car, Zhao Mo suddenly glanced back.

Qin Bai sat down in the car, and when he saw that he hadn't boarded the car yet, he asked him, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Mo looked hesitant, logged into the car and sat down, a little uncertain: "Just ...... It was as if someone was staring at me. ”

Qin Bai frowned: "Can you see who it is?" He lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, but there were still many people passing by outside the southwest corner gate, some were subordinates of the Hou Mansion, some were passers-by, and they didn't seem to be unusual.

Zhao Mo couldn't judge whether he had an illusion because of this: "I didn't see anyone, I just had this feeling...... Ever since I left Seikazekan, I felt as if someone was staring at me. ”

Qin Bai called Uncle Hu and whispered a few words to him. Uncle Hu nodded, got out of the car and went to the southwest corner gate, and without knowing what to say to the doorkeeper, the man turned around and disappeared into the door, and only came back after a while. He talked to Uncle Hu for a while, and the latter returned to the car to report: "There is nothing unusual in the area of the southwest corner gate, but there is a small guy dangling in the door, and now it is gone." That little guy is said to be a person from Brother Jian'er's side, and he lives in the servant's room opposite the Qingfeng Pavilion on weekdays, maybe he is just passing by. ”

Qin Bai was noncommittal, ordered Uncle Hu to drive off, turned back to Zhao Mo and said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it's hard to say." Brother Jian seems to be interested in befriending you, not necessarily with bad intentions. We'll talk about that when we get home. ”

Zhao Mo agreed. The two carriages of the third room drove away from the Chengenhou Mansion in a low-key manner.

They didn't know that as soon as they left, a small guy popped out of the southwest corner gate, and looked at the back of the carriage for a while, and then asked the servant guarding the door: "Uncle, where are they going, third master?" ”

The servant said casually: "How do I know? I just heard the third girl coaxing my brother, saying that I want to go to the market to buy him delicious food, I guess I went out shopping, right? The third old man and his family have been back in Beijing for a few days, and there is nothing to go out for. What do you care so much about? Brother Jian still has to go to school today, why don't you hurry up and wait?"

The little servant said: "Brother Jian has ordered today, and I will do other things, so I don't need to go to school with me." I'm going to help my brother get the word out. So saying, he turned and ran. He did not go back to his residence, but walked through the entire Xiqingyun Alley, until he walked to the back of the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, the path in front of the group house, and turned all the way to the back door. After going out of the back door, he went straight to an inconspicuous small house in the back street of Houfu, knocked on the door three times, stopped for a while, knocked on the door twice, and the door creaked open and let him in.

When he entered the door, he reported to the man in the courtyard, "The third old man's family has gone out, saying that they want to go to the market. He took the little boy Zhao with him and took a carriage with him. ”

The man frowned: "Got it, you keep staring." When they come back, you can tell me again. ”

The little guy answered, but didn't leave immediately, but asked the man, "Brother is coming back from the school in the next morning, and maybe there will be an errand to send the little one to do at that time." What if the little one can't get out of the way and can't find out the news for you?"

The man glanced at him with disgust: "What are you talking about? You were sent by the Wang family to Brother Jian'er, although the mission ordered by Brother Jian is important, but you can't change the master and forget your roots." The Wang family has something to use you, even if your cousin and grandmother and Brother Jian know about it, they will only tell you to work hard, but this little thing doesn't need to alarm them. There is no shortage of people around Brother Jian, so what if you are missing? Since I have given you this matter, you must do it well. ”

The little guy smiled: "You are serious." What you command, small nature must be done. It's just that my brother didn't know you were here, if he asked me what I was going to do......"

The man interrupted him: "No, you can't tell Brother Jian what I told you." In the future, if necessary, I will discuss it with my cousin and grandmother. You just need to do a good job, and don't mention anything more!"

The little guy pouted secretly in his heart, but thought that it was just a trivial matter to find out the news, and it was just a trivial matter for him, and there was a rich reward to take, so why not do it?

The door closed, and the man in the courtyard looked down at the thick calluses on his hands, then touched the small paper bag hidden in his sleeve, and took a deep breath.

Originally, I thought that this errand would be very difficult to do, but I didn't expect that my cousin's grandson, Brother Jian, would have a relationship with the boy surnamed Zhao! In this way, things will be much easier, and the little guy next to Brother Jian can be used by him, and then he just needs to wait for the opportunity......

Zhao Mo didn't know that someone was eyeing him. He just sat in the same car with Qin Bai, chatting all the way, and happened to ask Qin Bai a lot of things. When he got out of the inner city, there was a bustling street scene outside, but he had never seen it in Liaodong. Memories of childhood have blurred. When he entered the capital that day, in order to avoid people's eyes, he was worried about his father's affairs, and he did not pay attention to the surrounding scenery, so it was not until today that he really saw how prosperous the capital was. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is really extraordinary.

Hu Bo and Hu Yong drove along this road with the skilled coachman of the Chengenhou Mansion yesterday, so they drove the car to their destination steadily. Probably because of getting up early, Qin Hanzhen was sleepy again, and he took a small nap on the road. Niu's is very energetic, he has been holding Brother Zi'er, looking at the scenery along the road with Mama Hu, comparing the memories of thirty years ago, it is difficult for them to remember so clearly.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Jixiang Temple. Today's Jixiang Nunnery is quite deserted, and there are no pilgrims coming to the door. In fact, Jixiang Nunnery is not a famous nunnery in the capital, just because there is a peach blossom forest here, which is a small scenic spot, so many people come to enjoy the scenery in spring, and there are some pilgrims on weekdays. It's quite surprising that the courtyard is so deserted like today. When Qin Bai got out of the car, he saw it in his heart, and he must have been the host of the nunnery, Jingxu Shi, who was too clear.

At the gate of Jixiang Nunnery, there was a middle-aged female nun who had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Qin Bai and his party stop and get out of the car, she greeted her: "But the family of the third master of Qin is ready in the nunnery, and the host is waiting in the main hall." ”

When Niu Shi heard this, he felt strange: "Huh, your host actually knows that we are coming?" The nun smiled slightly, did not answer, only put her hands together, as an invitation to enter.

Qin Bai took Niu's hand: "Let's go." Niu immediately stopped asking, and instructed his granddaughter and Zhao Mo to follow him closely, and then let Mama Hu hold Brother Zi'er steady, and asked Uncle Hu and Hu Yong to stay outside the door and take care of the car and the things on it.

Uncle Hu was a little uneasy: "Master, don't you really need me to accompany you?" Qin Bai waved his hand, and then pulled Niu into the nunnery, and Uncle Hu had to retreat to the wheel and sit down, staring at the pedestrians on the road outside the nunnery with his two eyes, observing if there was anything unusual.

Qin Hanzhen followed his grandfather and grandmother into the nunnery, and saw that this nunnery was small and exquisite, covering a small area, and it was a house with three entrances and two roads. The first entrance is a Buddhist hall for pilgrims to worship the Buddha, the second is a meditation room for pilgrims, and the third entrance and the east side of the courtyard are the residences of female nuns and places to chant sutras. To the northwest of the nunnery is a large peach blossom forest, and the area of the entire nunnery is estimated to be two or three acres in size.

Qin Hanzhen and others advanced the first courtyard, the front is the Guanyin Hall, and the left and right halls are also dedicated to Buddha statues. The presiding officer of Jixiang Temple, Jingxu Shitai, waited in front of the Guanyin Hall. This is a thin old nun in his fifties, with good facial features and a kind appearance. She spoke unhurriedly, with a sense of courtesy, but no one would think that she was currying favor in a low voice, but that she was a kind and well-spoken monk and very learned. Niu listened to her talk about the old story of Jixiang Nunnery for a while, and he already had a close heart, pulled her very enthusiastically donated a sum of sesame oil money, and very devoutly put incense on the main hall and the east and west matching halls, and prayed for blessings.

Qin Hanzhen naturally followed his grandmother, and Qin Bai and Zhao Mo also put on incense and worshiped the Buddha. After the ceremony, Mrs. Jingxu invited them to the back hall for tea.

In the second courtyard, there were several quiet rooms for pilgrims to rest, but today there was silence in the courtyard, and it was obvious that no one was there. Mrs. Jingxu took Qin Bai and his party into the first quiet room on the left, the room was clean and elegant, and the peach blossom forest outside could be seen from the back window. At present, although most of the peach blossoms have been gone, there are still a few left, and they are blooming well, and the fragrance of flowers is coming, and Brother Zi'er can't sit still.

The nun who had just led the way sent fragrant tea and a special peach blossom cake made by Jixiangan as refreshments. Qin Hanzhen tasted one, the appearance was small and beautiful, but the taste was very average, she only ate one and stopped eating it. Mrs. Jingxu accompanied them to talk for a while, and when she saw Brother Zi'er staring at the peach blossom forest outside the window, she smiled and suggested that Niu could take the child to the peach blossom forest for a spin, and said, "There are still many ancestral relics in the forest. A noble concubine Niangniang in the first emperor once went to the nunnery before entering the palace and left a calligraphy treasure in the forest house. Doesn't my wife want to take a look?"

"Really?" Niu looked at Qin Bai. Qin Bai nodded: "There is such a thing, you can take the children to see it." "That concubine died early, there is nothing to mention.

The Niu family really became interested, took his grandchildren and Mama Hu, and called Zhao Mo again, and went to the Peach Blossom Forest together under the leadership of Master Jingxu.

Only Qin Bai was left in the quiet room. He put down the tea bowl and looked at the door, where two nuns in their fifties were standing at some point, looking at him.

Qin Bai smiled: "Sister Gansong, Bai Zhi, it's really you." (To be continued.) )
