Master Yuantong didn't speak, just looked at the two souls of Xiao Yiran and Zheng Xinxin in the golden light. After a long time, Master Yuantong withdrew the string of Buddhist beads from his wrist and handed it to Xiao Yiran:

"Small implementation, this string of Buddha beads has been accompanied by the old man, although he is powerless, but he is impregnated with endless Buddha light. It is given to the little donor, and it is always with him, which is very beneficial to the condensation of the soul of the two donors. ”

"Master, how can this be?"

Xiao Yiran, who was awakened by Master Yuantong's words, hurriedly pushed away.

"It's nothing, just a string of Buddhist beads. It is also the fate of the old man and the two donors, so let's give this bag together. ”

As he spoke, Master Yuantong took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it over along with the Buddha beads. Xiao Yiran knew that since the master had spoken out, there was naturally no possibility of taking it back, so she took it over, she really liked the golden light emitted by the Buddha beads, bathing in it, and it was unspeakably comfortable. It's just that I don't know what the tip is for, and just as I was about to ask, I heard Master Yuantong say:

"This tip can collect ghosts, and it also has the effect of condensing the soul. Since this female benefactor met Lao Gao, it was also the fate of her previous life, so she gave it to the female benefactor as a temporary shelter. ”

Xiao Yiran was worried about how to deal with Zheng Xinxin's soul in the future, and when he came, he thought about whether to leave Zheng Xinxin's soul with Master Yuantong, since he had this trick, he naturally didn't need to trouble the master, so he hurriedly folded his hands and thanked the master.

"Little girl, thank you, Master."

"Although the little donor has no relationship with my Buddhism, the two meetings can be regarded as the fate of the old man, and the vulgar rites are exempted. It's not too early, it's time for the two donors to go back. ”

"Master, the little girl has one more thing to ask for."

Seeing that Master Yuantong just looked at himself and didn't ask anything, Xiao Yiran had no choice but to speak:

"I also hope that the master will inform the little woman of the whereabouts of my sister's husband Wang Chunxia."

"Alas, a bad fate."

Master Yuantong let out a long sigh.

"The monks shouldn't be concerned with worldly things, since the little donor speaks, the old man will send a few words to the two donors."

After speaking, Master Yuantong folded his hands and recited silently for a while, and then said:

"Born in the spring and summer, died in the spring and summer.

At the turn of autumn and winter, under the east mountain. ”

Xiao Yiran was about to thank him, but he saw Master Yuantong raise his hand and wave, and said in his mouth:

"Go ahead."

In the blink of an eye, the two were already outside the temple gate. Xiao Yiran and Zheng Xinxin bowed deeply to the temple gate before returning to the room in Yanshan Mansion. Soon, it was dawn.

"Sister, let's take a seat in the bag for the time being."

Zheng Xinxin's soul curtsied to Xiao Yiran, and instantly became into the bag and disappeared. Xiao Yiran hid the bag under his pillow along with the Buddhist beads. Back in his body, he slumped down on the bed and took a nap.

After breakfast, Xiao Yiran returned to the room, because he hadn't slept all night last night, and just wanted to make up for sleep, but saw his mother Sun walk in.

"Mother is here?"

"At breakfast today, why did you feel a little sluggish? Is there something wrong with your body? ”

Xiao Yiran didn't expect his mother Sun to be so careful, and hurriedly said:

"My mother is too worried, my daughter is not uncomfortable, it's just that she read a book late last night and didn't sleep well."

"That's fine, but don't sleep now, and wait until you eat and get some sleep. The mother accompanied Ran'er to talk. ”

As the two of them talked, they talked about the people and things in the capital, and naturally the topic turned to Lin Chen.

"Today is the fifth day of the eighth month, and in ten days, it will be time for Lin Xiaogongzi to go down to participate in the provincial examination, right?"

"Yes, mother. Time flies so fast, thinking of my father's trip to Luoyang to take the provincial exam, I feel the same as yesterday. ”

"Who said no, Ran'er was only a few months old that year, and she was already a big girl in a blink of an eye. My mother is also old. ”

"Mother, Ran'er is only eleven years old, less than twelve years old, how can she become a big girl? Besides, my mother is not old, and she is still so good-looking. ”

"Hehe, I will make my mother happy."

After a pause, Sun asked Xiao Yiran:

"Lin Xiaogongzi is three years older than Ran'er, it seems to be his birthday at the beginning of the year, almost fifteen years old, right?"

Suddenly hearing his mother mention Lin Chen's age, Xiao Yiran was a little unnatural, and let out a soft "um".

"Your father came to Yanshan Mansion, and it has been three years since the end of the New Year, I don't know where the next one will be sent?"

Seeing that his daughter looked a little embarrassed, Sun changed the subject.

"I think that since my father was admitted to Jinshi, he was first sent to Taicang, then Huayin, and then returned to Beijing to enter the Ministry of Officials, and now it is Yanshan Mansion. In just ten years, four places have been changed, and being an official is really involuntary. ”

"Did Ran'er still receive a letter from His Royal Highness?"

"I haven't written back in for almost half a year."

"Oh."

Speaking of Zhao Heng who hadn't written for a long time, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, Cousin Xun is also going to play this year, I don't know if I can win?"

"Who knows? Our Sun family has not been out for many years. ”

The mother and daughter were chatting without saying a word, when suddenly Xiaolian walked in.

"Madame, Mademoiselle, a guest has arrived."

"Who?"

"Listening to Sun Wang, it seems to be General Yang."

"Mother, it can't be Zongbao's brother's grandfather, right?"

"Xiaolian, did the master send you to call us?"

"Yes, the lord asked Sun Wang to inform Mrs. and Miss that they would entertain guests in the mansion at noon."

At noon, Xiao Guoliang led a young man dressed as a military general to the mansion, Xiao Yiran didn't know him, and he should be twenty-five or sixteen years old. I saw the young man come to the living room and salute Sun and Xiao Yiran.

"Young general Yang Yanzhao to meet Madame, Miss."

Xiao Yiran knew that the person in front of him was the famous Yang Liulang, the husband of the Lord of Cheshire, and the father of Yang Zongbao. Sun also understood, just saw the husband lead a young military general in, and was still wondering in his heart, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the husband to bring a strange young man to see his mother and daughter, and when he was guessing who the person was, he listened to Yang Liulang's words and knew who it was.

"General Yang doesn't need to be polite, please sit down and speak. I think that when Ran'er and I were in the capital, we often got the care of the county lord, and not only that, but I also went to Tianbo Mansion to disturb me a few times. ”

Madame was serious. The young general is here because he will leave for Beijing tomorrow on a business trip. Yu Gong wanted to come to resign to Lord Xiao, Yu privately, Yan Zhao also learned from the letter from the county lord that Mrs., Miss and the county lord had contacts from time to time, so they came to inquire before, but there was something for the young general to do. ”

"There is nothing to do, after General Yang returned to Beijing, he said hello to the county lord on behalf of our mother and daughter, as well as Yang Xiaogongzi, Miss Meng Rong."

"The young general will definitely come."

At this time, Xiao Yiran suddenly interjected:

"Uncle Yang, I don't know when I will come back to Beijing this time?"

"Miss, we must rush back before the end of the month."

"Before the end of the month, if Uncle Yang can see the list of Qiu Yu, if it is convenient, would it be good to bring a copy back to Ran'er?"

"If you can see it, you must bring one back to Miss."

Next, Xiao Guoliang invited Yang Liulang to have dinner in the mansion, and Sun and Xiao Yiran naturally did not accompany him. The mother and daughter went back to the backyard and had lunch together in Sun's room.

"Mother, I heard that the county lord's family has a Danshu iron coupon, but is there really such a thing?"

"This is true, because the throne of Taizu was brought by Chan, the grandfather of the Lord of Cheshire."

Xiao Yiran also knew about this in his memory, but he didn't know what the Danshu Iron Coupon was and what it did, so he asked his mother.

"Mother, what does the Danshu Iron Coupon look like? What is the use of it? ”

"When I was a child, my mother heard your grandfather mention stocks. According to your grandfather, the Danshu iron coupon is written on an iron plate, with the name of the owner, the official title, the reason for the award, and the date of the seal. ”

"I don't know what is written on the Cheshire Lord's mother's Danshu iron coupon?"

"That's all there is to it, plus the words of avoiding death. Once the Danshu Iron Coupon was written, it was divided into two halves, one half in the hands of the person who was given the seal, and the other in the palace. ”

Xiao Yiran vaguely remembered that the Chai family's Danshu iron coupon was lost in Chai Jin's hands, and without the Danshu iron coupon, Chai Daguan was persecuted by Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture, not only was the mansion occupied by Gao Lian's wife and brother Yin Tianci, but he was almost killed.

"I'd love to see it."

"Hehe, mother's daughter, that's the treasure of the Chai family, how can you show people lightly?"

Sun looked at his daughter's curious look and couldn't help but smile and said.

Because Yang Yanzhao lived in the Yanshan Mansion that night, Xiao Yiran wrote two letters overnight, one to Cousin Xun and the other to Lin Chen. Early the next morning, it was handed over to Yang Yanzhao to take back to the capital. When a general like Yang Yanzhao who was stationed at the border returned to Beijing, and because it was a business trip, he naturally changed his horses at the Guò Post Station, and the speed on the road was extremely fast. In only six days, Yang Yanzhao returned to Bianliang City. As soon as he returned to Tianbo Mansion, he sent someone to send Xiao Yiran's letter.

I just received a letter from Xiao Yiran a few days ago, and Lin Chen didn't expect another letter to come so soon. My heart was sweet, and I hurriedly opened it.

"Brother Lin Chen, I didn't expect to receive another letter from Ran'er so soon, right? I think that when this letter was delivered to Lin Chen's brother, it was not a few days before his brother went down to take the provincial exam, right? Although Ran'er believes in her brother's talent, it is still difficult not to worry about her brother.

Because Uncle Yang Yanzhao came to Beijing on business, Ran Er hurriedly wrote this letter. It's not for anything else, it's just that I wish Brother Lin Chen a smooth exam. Although my brother is a talented learner, the provincial test must be as simple as taking something in a bag. However, the scientific expedition does not all depend on strength, and sometimes luck is also crucial. In case of any accidents, my brother must not be discouraged. Ran'er will always wait for her brother. ”

Since the last time Xiao Yiran mentioned the four joys of life, "Candle Night in the Cave Room, when the gold list is titled", the two have almost expressed their hearts to each other, and then looking at the words in this letter, Xiao Yiran said it more clearly, and Lin Chen's heart immediately became more down-to-earth. Secretly made up her mind that she must pass the exam, not only in the exam, but also in high school, to surprise her sister Ran'er.
