"You don't like it, forget it, I'll keep it for myself. Accustomed to Xiao Yao's cynicism, Lin Qianlan was not angry. What she likes doesn't necessarily like others, it's just a money bag anyway, and she doesn't care if it's for men or women.

Lin Qianlan stretched out her hand to take it back, Xiao Yao didn't turn around, "It's so stingy! You still want to go back if you send it out?" Seemingly casually but quickly stuffed the money bag into his sleeve, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will reluctantly accept it, master." ”

is obviously a child who likes to receive gifts very much, but he is duplicitous, Lin Qianlan thinks that this child's awkwardness can't be changed.

Qianfeng, who was hidden in the shadows, guessed a little about his master's thoughts, and he was happy to watch the play secretly, seeing that the young master who was arrogant and harmless on the surface and lacked scheming skills in the past really became a naïve boy inside and out in front of Miss Lin.

On the second floor of the teahouse opposite the embroidery shop, Tan Mengyuan saw Lin Qianlan follow Xiao Yao into the embroidery shop from the window, and snorted coldly.

An eighteen or nine-year-old woman in yellow sitting across from her withdrew her gaze from the window, "Yuan'er, that one in a Western suit is Miss Lin, right?"

"It's not her, who else? It's not enough to entangle my eldest brother, and now I'm hooked up with the cousin of the Xiao family. At first glance, you can tell that it is not from a good family. Tan Mengyuan looked contemptuous.

"Isn't it a good family?" the woman in yellow had a slight glint in her eyes, "Didn't you say that Miss Lin was a relative of your grandfather's family?"

Tan Mengyuan knew that she was speechless, her face froze, and explained, "Sister Jiang, don't spread the word." It was Lin Qianlan who caused trouble elsewhere and had nowhere to go, so my eldest brother saw that she was pitiful so he kindly took her in, and claimed to be a distant cousin. She has nothing to do with my grandfather's family. ”

It turned out that the woman in yellow was Jiang Yu, the fourth Miss Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's eyes deepened, his half-lowered eyes covered the different colors in his eyes, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Sister Yuan'er said that I am curious about Miss Lin." ”

Tan Mengyuan thought that Jiang Yu would marry her eldest brother sooner or later, and she was not an outsider, so she talked about Lin Qianlan, "At first, I thought that Lin Qianlan was really my cousin, and the eldest brother hid it from me." Later, I found out that it was like that......"

※※※※

"It's a lot of snow this year!" Xiaobi added a piece of silver frost charcoal to the brazier, turned around and went out again.

Lin Qianlan leaned lazily on the soft couch, watching Xiaobi busy before and after, thinking that she was really corrupt, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all, and enjoyed it with peace of mind.

It's really easy to go from thrift to luxury!

took out the hosta again, took it carefully, and thought that the appearance of this soul jade was too ordinary, and it was a green hosta with bad color to the naked eye, and it was not worth much silver.

From Qiao Yun's memory, this hosta and the jade bracelet were in her makeup, and no one remembered who gave them to her.

Xiaobi came in with a food box and a curtain, "The third lady is really interested, and she ran out of the town in the snowy world, saying that she was going to Jun'an to watch the plum." ”

Lin Qianlan put away the jade hairpin and casually took Xiaobi's words, "You can only enjoy plum blossoms on snowy days, plum blossoms in winter, and lotus in summer, all of which are elegant things." ”

"Hee-hee......" Xiaobi laughed quietly as she set the dishes and chopsticks.

Lin Qianlan asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"When I heard the girl say the word Yashi, I just thought it was funny. ”

Lin Qianlan was choked and pretended to be annoyed, "You are so bold that you dare to laugh at me, can't I be elegant?"

She really doesn't have much to do with Ya, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for being able to understand ordinary books, she can't understand anything else.

The original owner has good embroidery skills, but those are memories, and if she embroiders, it is estimated that she will have to practice for a year and a half. But she wasn't interested in embroidery and never thought of picking it up again.

Wait! What did Xiaobi say? Jun'an Temple? Is it a Taoist temple? She asked in surprise, "Xiaobi, where is Jun'an Temple? I haven't heard of it yet." ”

"It is a Taoist temple on Jun'an Mountain in the west of the town, which has long been dilapidated, and there are only two or three Taoist priests in it, and no one usually goes there. It is said that there are many plum trees there, and many people go to enjoy the flowers when they bloom every year. ”

Lin Qianlan was in his heart, the Taoism of the Great Zhou Dynasty also worshipped the ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasties, but I don't know if this Taoist priest has anything to do with the real immortal cultivators.

She was going to Jun'an to see if she could find some clues from there.

After the sky cleared, the snow in the town quickly melted, and the road was quite muddy, and after waiting for another day, the road was half dry, and Lin Qianlan took Xiaobi to Jun'an Temple early in the morning.

The Jun'an Mountain outside Yimen Town and the mountains near Zhaojia Village belong to the same Jieshan Mountain Range, and she passed by here the last time she walked from Zhaojia Village to Yimen Town.

The road was smooth, and the carriage traveled in less than half an hour to reach Jun'an Mountain.

Jun'an Mountain is not high, the slope is soothing, and there is a bluestone mountain road straight channel view and the back mountain of Taoist temple.

The carriage stopped halfway up the mountain, and the little guy who stayed to drive the carriage watched the carriage, and Lin Qianlan took Xiaobi to the view.

There are a lot of plum trees inside and outside the Taoist temple, the red plum blossoms the most vigorously, against the backdrop of the residual snow on the mountain, it is delicate and dazzling, the fragrance strikes, and it is intoxicating.

Lin Qianlan never came out as soon as she entered.

In the second half of the night, outside the gate of Tan's mansion, a carriage came quickly, "Huh!" Before the carriage could stop, Xiaobi jumped down from it and stumbled towards the door.

It didn't take long for the whole Tan Mansion to be no longer calm, and the gate of the Tan Mansion suddenly opened, and after a rapid sound of horses' hooves, two horses galloped out of the door one after the other, heading straight to the west.

After that, many people came out of the house on horseback, and some went west, some to the south, and some to the north, and they were all in haste.

The two horses galloped all the way, and Xiao Yao, who was on horseback in front, was anxious.

When I arrived at the foot of Jun'an Mountain, I didn't stop, and I rode up the mountain.

Most of the people who enjoy the plum have left, the Taoist temple is more quiet, and the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the stone slab is particularly clear.

Throwing off the saddle and dismounting, Xiao Yao and Qianfeng searched the entire Taoist temple left and right, and there was no one in the Taoist temple.

Xiao Yao's whole body was trembling.

Hearing Xiaobi say that Lin Qianlan was gone, his brain didn't listen to him for a while, but Tan Chengxuan calmed down, calmed Xiaobi, who was frightened, and let her tell what happened.

Xiaobi said that when they entered the Taoist temple, they were said by a Taoist priest to be destined guests, and let them go to a warm pavilion to taste plum blossom tea.

When she woke up, it was past noon, and Miss Lin was gone, and she searched the entire Taoist temple but couldn't find it, so she felt that something was wrong, and hurried back.

Looking at Xiao Yao's appearance, Qian Feng was very worried, "It's only been a little more than an hour, and those Taoist priests can't run far, and they are most likely to escape to the back mountain." Master, you wait here, and I'll go to the back mountain to inspect and inspect. ”

"I'll go with you!" Xiao Yao's eyes reddened.

Two hours later, Xiao Yao and Qianfeng caught a fat Taoist priest in the back mountain.

"Say, where is Miss Lin! Who is the mastermind!"
