After she had cried once, the old Zen master was already buried.

Fa Xian and Fa Zhi went to the front hall to hold a Buddhist meeting of the Sutra of the Past Life with the Dharma Body of the Master. After that, it can be sent to the tower behind the temple for incineration.

The fire tank in the courtyard was blazing, and the sky was already white.

The night passed.

"The envoy should have already entered the temple, right?"

Kongming's relics have been burned, the temple slaves continue to catch fire, and there are still more than 20 pieces of gold and silver cut sacrifices stacked next to the tank. She took the mailbox and went to the fire tank.

"Big lady, the letter ...... here"

Ji Mo asked softly, and when he opened the box, he could already see that something was wrong with the letter.

The letters of the eldest lady were often sent by him, so he knew her handwriting very well, and even more so that she used simplified characters.

She's here for secrecy.

And except for the people of Tangfang, only Kong Ming recognized her simplified characters.

"It was the monk who took a dozen of them. I don't have to ask him......"

She opened the mailbox and looked closely, and she already knew that the twelve letters that were missing were all business with the East China Sea Nuzhen.

In these letters, she did not scold Zhao Guanjia.

In order to make Kong Ming feel that she was really helpless to communicate with the Jurchens, she always scolded the Jurchens for selling horse farms too expensive, while showing loyalty to the Zhao Guan's family.

- Lou Yun saw that it was beneficial and harmless to her.

Ji Mo stood aside and watched her carefully flip through the letters.

She had realized that even the rest of the letters might not be hers.

Outsiders may not be able to read the contents of her letters, but they are not in the way of taking the original and copying a copy in lieu of it.

Her eyes flickered and fell on the gold and silver offerings by the vat of fire.

Twenty sacrifices. It was sent by the monks and monks of the grade in the Zhuma Temple. The ceremony was covered with a white paper mourning banner. There are both lamentations written in Fusang and lamentations in Song.

"Big lady-"

Ji Mo saw the two lines of mourning poems in Song Wen, pasted on a huge pot of Buddha seat anemone, and recognized it:

"Hanhai Yan is dead, Qingshan is dead?"

There is only one "thanks" word for grass flying.

Where would Ji Mo not recognize. couldn't help but remind her in her ear, saying:

"Big lady, it's Xie Thirteen Son."

Xie Guoyun of the Xie family in Taizhou also came to worship in this Buddha Zhai.

"Just now, the villain asked the monk Faxian, five days ago, Xie Thirteen Gongzi had indeed hurried back to Zhuma Temple from Ping'an Capital."

The sound of Temple Nu's footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Ji Mo stood beside her and whispered back.

Ji Qingchen nodded, she had already heard the words between Fa Xian and Ji Mo when she left:

"The peaceful capital is in chaos, and the thirteenth prince Xie is still discussing with the monks in the middle hall. If the owner is interested in coming to the meeting, let Ah Chi lead the way. The whole temple is full of hospitality. ”

After the news of the civil strife in Fusang came, not only Xie Guoyun immediately set off to Ping'an Capital to inquire about the news. Zhuma Temple also invited Tang Fang to attend the meeting to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that she politely refused.

However, when Xie Guoyun came back at this time, she couldn't help but be suspicious.

The dowry box left by Kong Ming was handed over to Fa Zhi for safekeeping, and Fa Xian couldn't keep an eye on it every day. If the monk imitates the key to the big box, it will give Xie Guoyun some convenience. Five days were enough for him to copy letters.

Even if she sent temple slaves to monitor the inside and outside of this Buddha fast, they would not guard against Xie Guoyun.

Let's talk about it. The relationship between Xie Guoyun and her Ji Qingchen is actually closer than Wang Shiqiang.

Xie Guoyun is a registered disciple of Master Kong Ming.

What he learned from the master was not Buddhism, but painting skills.

Master Kongming's painting technique comes from Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, and is a technique of the Northern Sect that originated from the Northern Song Dynasty court painting academy.

Xie Guoyun himself is good at the techniques of the Southern Sect.

With this level of relationship, of course, this person can go in and out of the Yuanzhi Buddha Zhai at will, without anyone asking.

Ji Qingchen has already found out. The handwriting of the imitation letters in the box is very similar to hers, but the drawings of the hydraulic hoisting machine, musket, crossbow machine, etc., are obviously not accurate enough.

Because there is no Tangfang millet ruler. The dimensions are not accurately imitated. This is also the reason why the thief must take the original.

"Even if these imitations are not accurate, they are by no means ordinary people."

It's clear that he's a veteran with a paintbrush.

-- Xie Guoyun.

"Owner."

The temple slave who walked into the Buddha came closer. It was the word of Ah Chi,

"The owner said that the master's relics would not be prepared until tonight, and the owner should have asked the owner to go to the Autumn Courtyard to rest. But Xie Thirteen Princes invited the owner to Songfeng Ju to discuss important matters. ”

Sure enough, he was back.

Xie Guoyun is in the seventeenth residence of Zhuma Temple, and he also occupies a pine wind residence.

Although he also lived in this Yuanzhi Buddha Zhai for half a year. At that time, she had already gone down the mountain to build Tangfang, but she often came back.

Her portrait, the place where he painted her was not the Ji family's courtyard, but under the corridor of this Buddha Zhai.

At that time, because in front of Master Kong Ming, he was asking Kong Ming for painting skills when light was refracted, and she was not good at him with a tired face.

After all, she and Fa Zhi and Fa Xian can be regarded as old acquaintances, but only when Xie Guoyun came to learn painting from his teacher, Kong Ming deliberately summoned her back to the temple.

She knew that Kong Ming had heard that she and Wang Shiqiang had more and more relationships and had the intention of marrying, so she intended to let her get married.

This old Song monk wants her to have more friendship with the children of the Xie family in Taizhou, so that she will not be isolated if she marries far away to the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

That's why she endured and had that portrait.

Although every time she saw Xie Shisan, she heard him chasing after her and calling her "Little Senior Sister, Little Senior Sister", she felt chills all over her body.

I can't wait to give him a kick in the face.

Even the inscription on her portrait was checked by herself by asking him to write it on a separate piece of paper in advance.

Words such as brother and sister are never allowed.

Strange nicknames like ugly, she put up with it.

After listening to the summons of the temple slave, Ji Mo couldn't help frowning and persuaded:

"Big lady, he asked the big lady to go to Songfeng Residence. It doesn't have to be a good intention. ”

"Not well-intentioned, though. But there's something to ......."

She groaned, remembering the thing she had been suspicious of, and said:

"It was right for the Xie family in Taizhou to give me the arrow tower, but it happened to be burned by Lou Yun. I'm afraid that the Xie family has discussed this matter with Lou Yun in advance......"

She hasn't forgotten that the background of the Xie family is different from that of the Siming Wang family.

Although the business of the Taizhou Xie family in the East China Sea is not as good as that of the Siming Wang family. But they have a close uncle in their family, who once served as a governor for half a year.

It's just that he was unlucky, and he met Han Senzheng who ascended the throne four years ago with a new official family.

This uncle of the Xie family can only retreat in the rapids and live at home.

But with this uncle's connections over the years and his prestige in the clan, the last two generations of the Xie family are quite outstanding.

They participated in the imperial examination and became famous. or those who have been admitted to the Guozijian are more than the Wang family.

The Wang family relied on Wang Shiqiang.

He is a good hand at business, and he can also find his own way to participate in political affairs.

In case Han's Northern Expedition plan to participate in politics succeeds, it is not impossible for him to be directly promoted to the front of the imperial court.

If it weren't. The generation of the Wang family is about to be overshadowed by the Xie family in Taizhou.

Xie Guoyun has the eye to rush to build the arrow tower, and he really can't say that he has no ability.

"The burning of the Arrow Tower?"

Ji Mo heard the meaning of her words, not only suspected that the letter was taken by Xie Guoyun, but she also suspected that the Taizhou Xie family intended to join forces with the Quanzhou Chen family, or even with Lou Yun.

And Lou Yun cares not only about the East China Sea market, but also about the weight of the Xie family's uncle in the court.

“…… He supported the Chen family in Fujian and the Xie family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. That's what you need to be prepared for. ”

Ji Mo only felt a sudden realization.

This envoy knew too much about Tang Fang. Without Xie Guoyun's information, this would never be the case.

"It seems that I still have to make it clear to Xie 13 face to face. Let him be less nosy. ”

She put the letter back in the mailbox and handed it to Ji Mo.

"Let's go to Matsukaze."

She thought of the envoy of Lou who pretended to be alive in the moonlight forest, and couldn't help but hesitate when she walked out to the Buddha.

After leaving the Moonlight Grove, the trace of doubt that she had been holding back in her heart rose.

At the spring, is she really delusional?

In the end, he wanted to go back with her......

"Send a message to Lord Achiliao. Let him be careful, Lou Yun should not be a Quanzhou monk in Zhuma Temple. is not his general, but Xie Guoyun. ”

Her instructions were hastily passed on by the temple slaves.

Ji Mo also summoned the Ezo people such as Beitongnu. Let them rush to the back temple guest house.

She broke up with Ah Chi just now, and when she left Qiu Won Courtyard, she had already been summoned by the temple slave:

There are three Song families who will sneak into the temple, and the female fine work who was originally hiding also appeared in the back temple......

Of course, the three Loufu generals escaped from Tang Fang.

"Sue the lord of Achi Liao, catch the four generals first, and then come and tell me about the boat."

In Zhuma Temple, they will definitely be caught by Ah Chi.

In this way, she went to Songfeng Ju to be invincible in front of Lou Yun.

"In any case, it is impossible for me to immediately cut off the financial support for the Korean government." The gold sand she supplies to Han Senzheng every year is all through the Huang store. The reason for this is because she secretly said what the money would be used for:

She had asked for the restoration and dredging of inland waterways.

Over the years, Wang Shiqiang has personally presided over the river project, and she is not worried about diverting the gold sand for other purposes.

Even if he was only for the Ma Zheng he proposed, he must have to communicate the water transport of the Yangtze River and the canal channel on the border north of the Yangtze River.

Even, this abandoned canal can pass through the Jiangbei border and connect with the old river in the territory of Jinguo.

……

When she hurried towards Songfeng Residence, Lou Yun had already passed near the middle hall because he had Xie Yaotou leading the way.

In the morning light of dawn, there was not a single temple slave near the guest house.

He could see the commotion of the monks and soldiers in the middle nave, as well as the commotion near the south gate of the Zhuma Temple.

The temple slaves seem to have gone to greet guests outside the main gate?

He frowned slightly.

"Lou Gongzi rest assured. In front of the south gate of Zhuma Temple, there is a winding mountain road facing the interior of Fusang, which can accommodate two ox carts in parallel. The mountain people who come to incense early in the morning are always in a constant stream, and such a commotion should be attended by the Dazaifu Taira clan's female dependents. ”

Xie Yaotou is like his voice, with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent that is extremely euphemistic, and his appearance is also a little painting boy with red lips and white teeth.

He had been to Quanzhou with Xie Guoyun in the past. Of course I recognize Lou Yun.

But he was very discerning, and he didn't call the official name but only regarded Lou Yun as an old friend of the master's family, and led Lou Yun through the Shuibo Bridge Corridor.

Lou Yun saw Xie Guoyun standing at the head of the bridge, and knew that he was the last to come on this trip, and finally took the lead over the female owner.

Xie Guoyun is so leisurely. Of course, he had already got the letters he needed.

He stepped into the green pine wind guest house.

The family will be scattered under the corridor on all sides, and the small servants will serve tea back and forth.

The hall was transformed into a tall outer room, but Xie Guoyun's eyes were very strange when he looked at Lou Yun, and he arched his hand and said:

"Congratulations to Brother Lou, I just got the news today, Brother Lou has been engaged to the Lord of Shunchang County? Last year, you and I mentioned a woman at the Merchant Conference. I thought—"

"Why?"

Lou Yun had long been accustomed to Xie Guoyun's weirdness, and he didn't care, Xie Guoyun had a ghost idea in his heart, so he laughed it off.

Entering the outer hall, he gave up the main seat to Lou Yun. Sit with you at the bottom.

Lou Yun had also learned the news of Master Kongming's death from Xie Yaotou's mouth. After a few words of condolences, he sighed, took the tea, and took a sip of the newly picked sparrow's tongue this spring.

After working hard for most of the night, he drank half a cup of tea before looking at Xie Guoyun and said:

"Bring the letter."

At last year's Fan Entrepreneurs Conference, Xie Guoyun of course also participated.

At that time, he invited Xie Guoyun to live in Loufu. It was also mentioned to him:

Behind the curtain of the corridor in the main hall of Mazu, the woman who talked about hydraulic machinery. He had sent people to look for him. Because Xie Guoyun was also in the main hall at that time, he heard the woman speak.

That's why he pulled him to talk at night.

Based on his speculation, the woman was thoughtful. Drawing inferences from others, it should not be from an ordinary family.

She must have heard from her father and brother that there was an inland river project on Liangzhejiang Road, so she remembered that she could paint gourds in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

There is no one else who can know this news except the sect girl.

Xie Guoyun still laughed and shook his head at that time, insisting that the distant clansmen in the clan were busy colluding with Zhao Bingqian and colluding with pirates in the waters of Quanzhou. There is no way that anyone can be interested in a small inland river project thousands of miles away.

As for the Zongnu Middle School. There are indeed a few women who are beautiful inside and out, and they are worth asking for. It's a pity that he disdains Xie Guoyun. He saw them behind the curtain today, but he didn't know if the voice was them.

And their father and brother are greedy and don't know how to measure. I'm afraid that they will be affected in the future.

He even persuaded that if you want to ask for a kiss, you should be careful to visit and be cautious.

"It turns out that Brother Lou found the county lord of Shunchang?"

Xie Guoyun sat on his side with a strange look in his eyes, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart.

Before the great monk Kong Ming left, he was in front of his bed, knowing that he was not worried that Senior Sister Ji did not have a family now.

He patted his chest and ensured that Senior Sister Ji had an excellent marriage:

The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty who came from outside Tangfang, he fell in love with Senior Sister Ji by chance last year.

As long as he invited the envoy into the temple, mentioned Senior Sister Ji's participation in the Fan Merchants Conference, and then connected the media in the middle, Lou Yun always had the intention of courting for marriage.

Even if the family is not worthy, doesn't his Xie family still have an uncle?

Wouldn't it be a match made in heaven to let Uncle Zu take Senior Sister Ji as his adopted granddaughter and marry Lou Yun again?

Anyway, she won't be bullied by the Wang family again.

-- Master Kongming went very peacefully.

But Xie Guoyun never expected that when he went to the middle hall to discuss matters in the past two days, the little guy next to him told him the news from the family in the past few months, and he knew that Lou Yun was actually engaged.

Before the envoy, he was engaged, didn't he only check in Quanzhou City for half a year?

He was also in too much of a hurry.

So, he thought about it, and wanted to say all the words he had calculated, and reminded Lou Yun.

Lou Yun swept it casually and said strangely:

"Where's the maid next to you? Why do you only see a few small guys? ”

He has also entered Lou Yun's back office, and he has seen the stunning Yi girl in his house, so he does not shy away from this, hearing him ask like this, Xie Guoyun couldn't help but sigh bitterly, and said:

"You know that I worshipped Master Kongming as a teacher here, so I have a little junior sister. Originally, she was polite, and I was like a senior brother. But once I saw that after I rented two concubines, her eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not a nose, and I was afraid that she would not like her eyes and sue the family......"

Lou Yun laughed when he heard it.

Before he could realize that the little junior sister in his mouth was Ji Qingchen, the courtyard of Songfeng Ju suddenly fell silent.

He looked sideways, and his body stiffened.

Although he knew this, he was silent when he saw Ji Qingchen's figure appear in the morning sun.

Xie Guoyun didn't know why, turned his head to look over, and Ji Qingchen had already broken into the courtyard.

In broad daylight, the morning light was bright, and the generals recognized her, looking at each other head-on, Lou had hesitated and turned his head to look at Lou Yun, not knowing whether to take the opportunity to catch her.

She had already hurried to the front of the porch.

Xie Yaotou was only chasing and laughing on the side, where did he dare to stop her.

Xie Guoyun was still anxious that she came too quickly, breaking his plan, and the temple gradually became chaotic.

The temple slaves led the fleeing donors into the temple from the south gate to settle down, and they came and went endlessly on the water-borne bridge corridor, and the dozen or so guest houses next door were gradually filled with crying.

To the south of the gate of Zhuma Temple, there was also a faint warning signal of Zhuma Temple. (To be continued)
