8. Trouble
When the middle-aged grandmother saw the visitor, she suddenly felt a little more confident, and angrily shook off the jade ink, and curtsied at the visitor with a smile on her face: "Uncle! β
Zhou Zhijian walked forward from behind the cloister with a fan, ignoring the middle-aged grandmother at all, looking at the landing night with a reckless gaze, and his heart fluttered. After wandering for a while, until his vision was blocked by the green branch, Zhou Zhijian suddenly put away the fan, stared at the figure behind the green branch with unfinished eyes, and smiled politely at Guangji: "Madame waited for a long time and didn't see anyone, so she specially asked the master to come out to greet Miss Lu." β
After that, he turned sideways and bowed to Lu Wan, "Please also invite the girl to the palace to talk about it." β
Lu Wan calmly glanced at the middle-aged grandmother and Zhou Zhijian who were blocking the corridor one after the other, and swept over Guangji, who was frowning and standing on the side, hesitating and not daring to speak, sneered in her heart, her eyes sank, and she glanced at Yumo.
Yumo understood, and smiled at the middle-aged grandmother's gloomy gaze, "I was a little presumptuous just now, and I hope Grandma will forgive me." β
The middle-aged grandmother frowned and glanced at Yumo condescendingly, snorted reluctantly, sideways and half a step away, and took her chin to land late, "Miss Lu, please." β
Before the words fell, before the middle-aged mother could react, she saw that the girl who was smiling and careful to accompany her suddenly changed her face, but after a stunned effort, a sharp stinging pain suddenly came from her leg, and she screamed out of her mouth, and at the same time subconsciously jumped back and lowered her head to cover the pain on her leg.
"Hey, how can Mama beat people!" Yumo let out a low snort, lifted her skirt, pounced on it neatly, stepped on the instep of the middle-aged grandmother with one foot, held the middle-aged grandmother's arm with both hands, and the silver hairpin hidden in the sleeve pierced directly into the other party's flesh, piercing a hole.
The middle-aged grandmother inhaled in pain, pulled Yumo anxiously and angrily, and before the scolding words could be spoken, she was frightened by Yumo's decisive and ruthless movements, and subconsciously hid backwards while shouting, "Ouch - what are you doing little hoof!" Hey, hey, I'm beating someone! Hit someone! Ouch-"
Zhou Zhijian and Guangji were also stunned by Yumo's sudden move, staring at Yumo in a daze as they pounced on him regardless of it, and didn't react for a while.
Lu Wan looked at this scene calmly, with a smile on her face, nodded at Yumo with satisfaction, bypassed the middle-aged grandmother who was hiding on the side and screaming, and walked directly to the back of the Guanyin Palace.
Seeing Lu Wan's movements, Zhou Zhijian reacted violently, glared angrily at the middle-aged grandmother who was entangled in jade ink and was powerless, and hurriedly raised his legs to chase after him.
The green branch suppressed the anger in his belly, made a mistake and made a mistake, his eyes quickly blocked Zhou Zhijian, and he scolded with a cold face: "This master, please respect yourself." β
Zhou Zhijian was furious, looked at Lu Wan's back anxiously and angrily, and reached out to pull the green branch.
Lu Zhi sneered, and hit Zhou Zhijian's arm headlong, and the sharp hairpin hairpin was wrapped around Zhou Zhijian's arm, and without waiting for Zhou Zhijian's reaction, he sat on the ground with an "oops", pointing at Guangji and crying and shouting: "We are about to be beaten to death here, and the host doesn't care!" This disciple who ran out of nowhere actually entered the temple! I'm just a girl, and that's a girl from a white family, so I can't stand it...... I'm not alive anymore! β
Zhou Zhijian was inhaled by the hairpin on the green branch, his face turned red, and he glared angrily at the green branch who was sitting on the ground crying and shouting nonsense, his fingers trembled, and he was about to kick it when he raised his foot.
Guangji saw that this matter was not going to be like a thing, and he couldn't care about hiding from the trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Zhijian, and persuaded in embarrassment: "The noble man is angry!" She's a girl, don't be like her. This Buddha is pure, and the nobles have lost face. After that, he looked at Yumo, who had already withdrawn his hand and came over to help the green branch with a calm face, as if it was not her who had beaten people just now.
Looking at Yumo's smiling gaze, Guangji's heart jumped suddenly, and for no reason he felt a chill on his back, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, gathered his mind, recited Amitabha, and continued to persuade Zhou Zhijian, who was furious, with kind words: "Just now, the grandmother in the house didn't think it was clear, these two girls didn't know the identity of the nobleman, so they made a joke." The nobles should be restless for a while, and when the poor monks talk to them in detail, they will know the severity. β
Zhou Zhijian looked angrily at the scattered green branches of the hairpin ring and the jade ink with a calm face who beat people but beat people upside down, twisted his brows and shook off Guangji angrily, and chased after the back of the Guanyin Hall with a blue face.
After such a delay, Lu Wan entered the backyard from the back of the Guanyin Palace. Zhou Zhijian followed the voice and chased to the door of the backyard, but was unceremoniously stopped by two middle-aged monks outside the door: "Donor, please stay!" β
"Get out of the way!" Zhou Zhijian's eyes were full of anger, and he raised his hand to push the middle-aged monk, but as soon as his hand touched the monk's robe, his arm froze suddenly.
Zhou Zhijian was stunned for a moment, his face turned blue, he slowly withdrew his stiff and numb arm, his eyes swept over the middle-aged monk with the usual look, thinking of the rumors in the temple, he had a little scruple in his heart, he was ruthless, and retreated with a belly of anger.
In front of the Guanyin Palace, Yumo stood up with the green branch, tidied up the hairpin ring, looked back at the middle-aged grandmother who was limping and scolding to report to the Guanyin Palace, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, turned around and politely blessed Guangji, and pulled the green branch all the way to the backyard.
Guangji looked at the backs of the two in horror, and sighed with a wry smile for a long time. He had long known that the four girls of the Lu family were unusual, otherwise they would not have been able to enter the eyes of their uncle. But she is a little girl, and in front of the uncle of the Zhou family, she directly asked the girl to do it with the people of the Chongning Hou Mansion, which is ...... It's too bold. The people of the Chongning Marquis Mansion have always been flying and domineering, and others are afraid of avoiding them, this girl has turned her hands upside down, how can people endure this anger?
Hey, that's a big problem!
******
In the rear meditation room, Lu Wan was half-sitting on the kang, listening to the middle-aged monk outside the door come in and reply, saying that Yumo and Luzhi had already entered the courtyard, so he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the old monk who was sitting on the kang and slowly brewing tea, and bent his knees with a smile: "Thank you master for your help." β
Silent Wu looked at Lu Wan gently, smiled kindly, motioned for Lu Wan to sit opposite the kang, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said in a casual tone, "At your age, it's time to say kiss." Have you seen anyone? β
Lu Wan was stunned for a moment by the sudden question of Silence Enlightenment, took the teacup, sat curled up on the kang, and then said helplessly: "It's not that the master doesn't know the situation in our house, my father hasn't come back yet, where is it so early?" After that, he sighed again, held the tea and complained, "I'm a little worried when you ask." You also know my temperament, even you were offended before, and I am afraid that it will be even more unpleasant when I go to my in-law's house in the future. Hey, I'm afraid I can't find a suitable person in this capital. β
Halfway through the words, Lu Wan's heart moved slightly, the smile in her eyes floated, she turned her head to look at Silence, and said tentatively: "Kaiyuan Temple is famous in the capital, and there are people in the temple every day who come to incense, and there are many people coming and going from all over the world. Why don't you take a look at it for me? If there is a suitable one, the master will have someone give me a message. β
With a kind smile on his face, he didn't answer Lu Wan's words, but listened to Lu Wan finish thinking about it by herself, Fang Wensheng asked, "Have you thought about it, what kind of person are you looking for?" β
Lu Wan shook his head, nodded again, put down the teacup, exhaled happily, looked at Silence, and seriously and helplessly broke his fingers and said one, two, three. "I haven't even thought much of it...... Hey, in fact, I don't need to think about it, anyway, there are only a few, I told the master to listen, and the master also helped me refer to the details. I have a bad temperament, I can't pretend to be generous, and I can't tolerate my husband's three wives and four concubines, so I probably can't climb the sons and daughters of a wealthy family. I thought I wanted to find someone with a clean family background and a simple population. The door doesn't have to be too high, as long as the human nature is good, understands the rights and wrongs, and knows that it hurts people. β
Lu Wan paused, and added seriously, "Well, this person can't be too ugly, and he can't be too good-lookingβthat's all." The master will show me, is there such a person? β
"I am a monk, and I don't care about mundane things." Silent Wu drank tea with a smile, and replied to Lu Wan slowly, directly blocking Lu Wan's words.
"Regardless of mundane things?" Lu Wan glanced at Silent Wu with amusement and anger, and snorted lightly, "Then what are you asking me for?" I asked you and didn't care, isn't it a vain explanation! β
Silent Wu listened to Lu Wan's complaint with a gentle smile, and there was no annoyance on his face, until Lu Wan finished complaining, and then changed the topic very naturally.
After drinking a pot of tea, it was already half an hour later, because he had something in his heart, Lu Wan stopped talking, put on his shoes on the edge of the kang by himself, got up from the kang, said goodbye to Silence, turned out of the meditation room, and walked along the corridor to the gate of the courtyard.
Green Zhi and Yumo hurriedly greeted them from the quiet room at the entrance of the courtyard. Yumo replied in a low voice: "Girl, just now the little master of the Guanyin Hall said that the people from the Chongning Hou Mansion haven't left yet, and that clam/toad is now guarding the temple gate." β
Lu Wan paused, and his gaze fell outside the courtyard gate, "What about Zhou Tai?" β
Zhou Tai is Lu Chenghui's escort left by Lu Wan. At the beginning, Zhou Tai's master received Lu Chenghui's favor, and Lu Chenghui had always been worried about the disaster on Mangshan, so before leaving Beijing, he entrusted Zhou Tai's master to find a guard for his daughter, and he made it clear that he must find someone who is good. Zhou Tai's master probably didn't find a suitable person, so he let his own apprentice take over.
However, after all, there is a difference between men and women, Zhou Tai can't enter the inner courtyard, so he can only hang the name of a nursing home in the outer courtyard, and Lu Wan secretly follows when he goes out. It's just that this person is elusive and doesn't talk much, Lu Wan deliberately alienates outsiders because of the secret business of Jingfeng Pharmacy, so he usually doesn't let people follow too closely.
"It should still be outside the temple gate." Yumo hurriedly responded, but he was a little unsure.
Lu Wan nodded, looking at the anger and worry between the two girls, and comforted softly: "It's okay, they are guarding the front door, let's just go back from the back mountain!" β
The two girls' eyes suddenly lit up, they glanced at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded with a smile.
