In the middle of the night, there were few pedestrians in the town, and only one or two drunks had been encountered on the road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the nunnery is old, the everlasting lamp is always on, and a thin light shines through the high sill window.

Along the root of the mud wall, there is a fence wall about one person high, and you can see the neat vegetable garden inside, which I think was planted by nuns to supplement the food.

This kind of fence door is not against thieves, Ling Xiang is very clear, quietly opened and hid in, with the faint light, you can see the clothes drying on the bamboo poles in the yard.

It is inconvenient for a lone woman to go on the road, but an ascetic is different.

Ling Xiang's heart moved, he took off a set of monk's robes in the past, quickly changed them, wrapped his hair into the monk's hat, left the satin coat, embroidered shoes and a piece of broken silver that he was originally wearing, stepped on the shoes, smeared the potion that caused the sallow complexion on his face, drew some wrinkles, made dark shadows on his temples and other parts, and even wiped some on his hands, and then walked out of the small courtyard of the nunnery with the package.

When Starry Night left Qianlong Town and arrived at the adjacent Baihe Township, the sky began to see white.

The early risers of the peasant village women had begun to get busy, and when they saw her, they were just nodding or nodding their heads from afar, so Ling Xiang took a picture by the stream, and found that although they were in a hurry, there was no big flaw in their dress, so they asked where the market was, and searched all the way.

The village market is not every day, and there are only three or two shops in the area, but there is a post.

Ling Xiang indicated that he would take a car to Hangzhou to participate in the water and land conference.

The driver was not very enthusiastic, but seeing that it was a monk, he was not very lazy, but only drooped his eyes and asked: "I don't know how much the master can pay?" ”

Ling Xiang took out a piece of silver that was enough to charter a car and said, "The poor nun is entrusted by the old lady of the Yan family to go to the Big Buddha Temple to enter meditation, and the donor sees that this silver is enough?"

The coachman took it happily, the people in the countryside are simple, but they will not maliciously rip off customers, and he said with a smile: "The silver given by Mrs. Shi is enough for me to run alone, it is still early in Chenguang, do you want to retreat or?"

The person's bearing can't be concealed, and Ling Makeup is also generous, and the coachman thinks she won't care about the few silvers.

Sure enough, with her approval, the coachman was happy that this trip was easy, and asked her to get in the car and sit down and go on the road easily.

These drivers are familiar with the path, and it is a prosperous place in Zhejiang, with good public security, although the road is bumpy, it is smooth.

Ling Xiang rarely got out of the car, and the coachman on the road was busy hurrying and feeding the horses, even if he had crossed paths with the shopkeepers of the roadside wild shops, it was just a general remark, and he did not hear any news from the imperial court.

In such a hurry, it took a day before I arrived in Hangzhou.

Ling Xiang didn't have a precept on her body, of course she didn't dare to really go to the temple nunnery, and when she saw the carriage rushing up the official road at sunset, she slowly turned into the tree-lined path on the side, around the red wall of the Big Buddha Temple, she was thinking about finding an inn to stay for a night, and inquired about the situation by the way.

The dilapidated carriage sat in her bones and ached, because she grew up in Hangzhou City, this kind of big temple is a place where female dependents often come, rubbing her waist and walking for a while, she gradually felt a little more comfortable, remembering that this place is not far from the old house of Qinghefang by the West Lake, it is inevitable that she will go back to explore, and unconsciously go towards the former residence.

Walking through the streets of my childhood, I found that people had grown up, as if the streets and alleys were much smaller back then, Ling Makeup walked slowly with his head down, his ears were full of familiar Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Wu dialects, and his heart was inevitably soft, and when he came back to his senses, he had walked to the blue-black gate.

The door wall of the old mansion was not renovated after Lingdongcheng was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, but a huge gold-lettered plaque on the lintel was hung on the lintel, and the word "Ling Mansion" was written on the dragon, flying and phoenix dancing.

These two words were finally obtained by his father at a great price, and Ling Xiang's eyes seemed to float in front of the door at that time, and the scene of firecrackers blowing up the ground was popular.

When she got here, she should have entered, but she was afraid that too many people would know her whereabouts, and when she thought that her parents and brothers were not here, why was she nostalgic, so she was about to leave.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of "swish" running in unison from in front of me, passers-by avoided one after another, and Ling Makeup was also busy standing aside.

In the blink of an eye, I saw the soldiers wearing the one-colored waist knife running from the neighborhood in two teams, standing on two sides in front of the Ling family's old house, and the two leading officers commanded a small soldier to step forward and knock on the door.

When the neighbors saw this battle, some of them were afraid of causing trouble and avoided it, and some of them found that the soldiers were not too out of line, and the soldiers who knocked on the door were also considered to be in order, so they began to probe their brains curiously.

Ling Makeup naturally paused.

Because this team of people is not wearing the uniform of ordinary city guards or officers and soldiers of the political secretary, but the brocade clothes of Long Chengwei.

It was generally impossible for Ryujowei to leave Kyoto unless he was ordered to do so by the emperor.

The soldier couldn't knock a few times, someone inside answered the door and opened it, and the officer stepped forward and whispered, pushing the stunned old man who was guarding the door, waved his hand, and led the team to rush in.

The old man came back to his senses, desperately stepped forward to stop him, and shouted loudly: "This is the old mansion of the Ling Guo Mansion, you ...... How dare you wander around?"

The sergeant was obviously angry, but he did not act excessively, glared at the old man viciously, and took out something from his bosom and shook it.

The old man was stunned on the spot, although Ling Xiang was far away, he could recognize that it was a holy decree, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Could it be that Rong Chenning has already become angry with his relatives? Even the old mansion has issued an edict to investigate, and the relatives in the capital don't know what happened......

She was suspicious, and she had no place to inquire, so she had to pretend to be tired, and slowly sat down under the diagonal wall.

It didn't take long for the soldiers inside to escort one person out.

As Ling Xiang expected, they were ready to close the team after taking this person, and this person was Mei Xiang, a girl who had served her for many years, and now she should be the housekeeper of this house.

But since leaving Hangzhou to go to Jinling, the master and servant have never met again, and there are no more people who come and go.

If Rong Chenning blames the Ling family, it makes sense, but it is clear that he is just arresting a housekeeper's wife, which is really strange.

Ling Xiang couldn't help but stand up against the wall.

She turned into a nun, and people who are not familiar with it naturally can't see it, but Mei Xiang has served her since she was a child, and she has followed her for many years.

Many subordinates poured out of the gate of the Ling Mansion, and a few of them cried: "Lady Zhou!" Mei Xiang also turned a deaf ear, as if she was scared stupid.

Long Chengwei escorted Mei Xiang straight to the outside of Qinghe Fang, Mei Xiang staggered, and disappeared into the street in a short time.

Most of the people in front of the Ling Mansion were ignorant, except for those who were crying.

Seeing this, Ling Xiang was in a hurry, so he had to step up and gossip and remind: "Hurry up and bring the silver and chase it to the yamen to inquire!" (To be continued.) )
