Chapter 140

The next day, the sun was shining, after last night's incident, Duan Yuyuan and Jiang Yining went back to their rooms, Shen Qing didn't feel sleepy anymore, she got up after lying until dawn, freshened up, and after breakfast, she planned to walk around the temple.

Even if Lin Zhiming, the black-clothed man who wanted to harm her, was still here, but now that it was daytime, he didn't have the courage to deal with himself in broad daylight, besides, his medicine was not in vain...

Sangokuji Temple is located on the top of the hill and the scenery is extremely beautiful. Shen Qingwan walked all the way, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, he also saw many unexpected situations, and many ragged beggars ran in one direction with broken bowls in their hands full of joy.

"How can there be so many beggars?" After she came to the mountain yesterday, all she saw were nobles, and she didn't see the shadow of half a beggar, but as soon as the nobles left, the mountain was full of beggars.

"Female benefactor." A little monk walked over: "Today's master is presiding over the porridge to help the homeless and poor......"

"Does the host master make porridge every month?". Shen Qingwan had heard that Xiangguo Temple helped the poor, but he didn't know the specific situation.

"Returning to the female benefactor, under normal circumstances, the first day of the new month, the fifteenth day of the porridge, if there are special circumstances, it will also increase the time of the porridge ......"

"It is a blessing for the poor to preside over kindness." Shen Qing looked around in the evening: "Xunhan, there is a Buddha hall in front, follow me to add some incense money!" "The incense money is put in the Buddha's place, and the presiding officer can use it to help the poor.

Today is not the first day of the new year, nor is it the fifteenth, that is the special situation that the little monk said, it is very likely that King Jing is in Chaodu, presiding over the porridge, to help him accumulate merit.

Shen Qing added incense money in the evening, walked out of the Buddha hall, looked at the sky, the time was not early, "Xunhan, you go to Yi Ning to have a look, did she wake up." ”

Jiang Yining's two major hobbies in life are eating and sleeping, if she is disturbed while eating and sleeping, even if she does not dismantle the person who disturbed her, she will be seriously injured.

For the sake of safety, Shen Qingwan decided to let Xun Han go to investigate the situation first, if she woke up, she would go over again, and if she was still sleeping, she would go shopping again.

As soon as Xunhan walked on the front foot, a pair of beggar mother and son walked over, the little beggar was only four or five years old, and a pair of beautiful big eyes kept flashing, which was very cute.

Looking at Shen Qingwan, a trace of curiosity flashed in the little beggar's eyes, he broke free of his mother's hand, and ran over with a smile: "My sister is so beautiful!" "Especially when the wind blows, the hem of the clothes is light, which is really beautiful.

A pair of small hands gently tugged at Shen Qingwan's clothes, and suddenly, two small, black palm prints appeared on Shen Qingwan's goose-yellow clothes, the breeze blew, the hem of the clothes fluttered with the wind, and the small palm prints lined with it were particularly clear.

The beggar's mother was shocked, hurriedly pulled the little beggar back, and apologized to Shen Qingwan in a panic: "I'm sorry...... Stained your clothes...... "Beggars have lived in the capital for a long time, and it is common for nobles to be noble, and looking at Shen Qingwan's dress, you can know that she has a noble status.

"It's fine!" Shen Qingwan smiled slightly and didn't care, but the beggar's mother was not lightly frightened, and her voice was crying: "I'm sorry...... Children are not sensible...... It's all my fault, I didn't look at him......"

She couldn't see any material in Shen Qingwan's clothes, but when the wind blew, the soft texture and smooth fabric were worth a lot of money at a glance, she was just a beggar, and she couldn't afford to lose this dress if she sold her.

"I ...... Help you wash your clothes...... "The beggar's mother was about to cry, she was hungry for half a month, and she finally waited until the day of the porridge, thinking that she could have a full meal, but she never thought of a big disaster. The little beggar didn't know what was going on, and when he saw his mother so uncomfortable, he was so frightened that he began to cry......

Shen Qingwan sighed helplessly: I didn't say anything to blame them, why are they so afraid, is it the fear of the nobles?

"I'm ready to wash this dress, you don't have to blame yourself." Shen Qingwan comforted: "The host master has already started to make porridge, you go and get it, it's too late, but you won't be able to get it." ”

"You don't blame us for soiling your clothes?" The beggar's mother was astonished, she had never seen such a well-spoken aristocratic lady.

"The kid didn't mean it!" Shen Qingwan smiled lightly: "The host is making porridge over there, don't go to the wrong place......"

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss......" The beggar's mother left with the little beggar with a thousand thanks, Shen Qing looked at the black handprint on his body and sighed softly, this is the clothes he just changed this morning, but he can't wear it anymore to walk around, and he was about to go back to change his clothes, and saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, Lin Zhicheng, how could he be there?

At the corner about ten meters apart, Lin Zhicheng held a folding fan, leisurely, with a cynical smile on his handsome face, I don't know how long he stood there, the twinkle in his eyes showed that everything that happened between Shen Qingwan and the beggar mother and son was in full view.

"The sixth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was soiled, and she didn't quarrel with the beggar, it's really ...... ......"Among the nobles, there are very few people with this quality, perhaps, Shen Qingwan is a good woman."

Originally, Lin Zhicheng wanted to say some words of praise, but for some reason, the words became like this, he still likes to speak with Shen Qingwan in this tone, if it is a compliment, he will feel awkward.

"The eldest son of the Marquis of Dingguo, Lin Gongzi, hasn't he always only loved beauties, when did he learn to meddle with other people's affairs?" is worthy of Lin Zhiming's elder brother, his character is as bad as him, he is always self-respecting, no matter what others do, they feel that they are in the way, and they find trouble with others for no reason.

"Miss, Miss Jiang is awake, please come over." Xun Han came to report, Shen Qingwan retracted his gaze, "I'll go back and change my clothes first!" "Lin Zhiming, I will never let him have a good time!

Shen Qingwan turned around and walked towards the wing room without looking back, Lin Zhicheng stood in place, secretly wondering, he saw very clearly just now that before Shen Qingwan left, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Shen Qing had long known about him looking for flowers and asking Liu, but when the two of them quarreled before, her eyes were calm when she looked at him, why did she show disgust in her eyes this time, and she hadn't done anything very annoying recently......

With a stomach full of confusion and doubts, Lin Zhicheng went to the wing room to find Dingguo Hou and Lin Zhiming......

"Dad, second brother!" Walking into the small courtyard, Lin Zhicheng retracted his thoughts and called the two softly, but there was silence all around, and no one answered.

In the room, Lin Zhiming, who had been in a coma for an unknown amount of time, moved his fingers slightly because of Lin Zhicheng's call, and slowly regained consciousness, but his whole body was like a puncture with ten thousand needles, and the pain was terrible, especially in the key parts, the numbness of the pain, and he was unconscious.

At the same time, he tried his best to respond to Lin Zhicheng and let him come in to save himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't make any sound, let alone do other things, his eyes were anxious, and his forehead was covered with sweat and cold sweat.

Why is no one talking, isn't it in the room?

Lin Zhicheng knocked on the door of the marquis's room in confusion, there was no movement, he gently pushed the door open, it was empty inside, and there was no half of a figure, his father was really not there, maybe he was discussing things with someone, what about the second brother?

Lin Zhicheng walked to the door of Lin Zhiming's room and knocked lightly, but there was no reaction inside.

Lin Zhiming in the house was like a dead fish, lying upright on the cold ground, anxious, and kept praying in his heart, big brother, you must push the door in, you must come in!

But I don't know why, after Lin Zhicheng knocked on the door, there was no other movement, Lin Zhiming was anxious, wasn't the eldest brother ready to come in? Isn't he hopeless? No, you must find a way to let the big brother in.

Lin Zhiming's eyes turned sharply, thinking about the solution, and inadvertently, he looked at the high table beside him, there were candlesticks and other things on the table, his eyes flashed, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his heart.

He is now injured, his body is very weak, in case he is hit by something again, the injury is aggravated, and his life can be saved, it is unknown, but if he does not invite Lin Zhicheng in this way, his life and happiness are also very dangerous, in a word, whether he uses this method or not, his life will be in danger......

Lin Zhicheng's footsteps sounded outside the door, Lin Zhiming was shocked, big brother don't go, I don't know where the strength came from, he suddenly turned over and hit the corner of the table: "Ah! At the same time as the terrible scream sounded, the items on the table fell down with a crackle, impartially, and happened to hit Lin Zhiming, knocking him unconscious again...... Lin Zhicheng, who was outside the door, had just walked out of a distance, and he was still wondering in his heart, the second brother had nothing to deal with, why was he not in the room, could it be that he was going to have breakfast?

Lin Zhiming's screams suddenly came from behind him, Lin Zhicheng was shocked, turned around, and quickly ran to the house: "Second brother, second brother!" ”

Regardless of being polite, Lin Zhicheng kicked open the door, looked at Lin Zhiming, who fell to the ground, disheveled, looking embarrassed, and was knocked unconscious by high candlesticks, fruit plates and other things, and shouted urgently: "Someone, go and ask for a doctor, someone is injured!" ”

When Shen Qing went back to the room to change clothes and was about to go to find Jiang Yining, Jiang Yining rushed to Duan Yuyuan's room, without superfluous polite words, and went straight to the point, "Lord Wang, lend me two secret guards for use." ”

Duan Yuyuan held the teacup, but did not drink the tea: "You have good martial arts, and you live in Shangshu Mansion, what do you want to do in the dark?" ”

"Of course, it's too late to protect Shen Qing." Jiang Yining secretly observed Duan Yuyuan's reaction as she spoke, but to her disappointment, Duan Yuyuan had a cold face, deep eyes, but calm, and people couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"Aren't you teaching Shen Qing late martial arts? Still need Secret Guard protection? "Ling Qi's affairs in the capital can't escape his eyes.

Jiang Yining's eyes flashed: "My martial arts are very poor, I can deal with some small roles, and if I make a move with a master, I will definitely lose, Shen Qingwan and I learn martial arts, and it is not a problem to deal with the women in the inner courtyard, it is not realistic to deal with the master......"

"Jiang Yining, if your martial arts are considered poor, it will be in vain for your father's careful cultivation of you over the years." If you lie, please also look at the object first.

Jiang Yining smiled, without the slightest embarrassment of the lie being exposed, "Even so, Shen Qingwan has just started practicing martial arts, at best, he only has the kung fu of a three-legged cat, the capital is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, maybe a random person on the street is a master, how can Shen Qingwan be someone's opponent, last night's incident is the best example......"

This stupid Duan Yuyuan, can't he understand that he is helping the two of them pull the red line and get closer to each other?

"Did you really not interfere with the man in black last night?" Jiang Yining's small eyes flickered with curiosity.

Duan Yuyuan put the tea in the cup on the table: "I promised Shen Qing not to interfere at night." ”

You won't interfere in the open, but it's still okay to make small moves in secret! Jiang Yining's small eyes sparkled.

The maid came to report: "Miss Six, Miss Shen Sixth has gone to find you." ”

"I'll go back right away." Jiang Yining turned his gaze back to Duan Yuyuan: "Does the dark guard borrow me?" ”

"Don't borrow!" Duan Yuyuan's tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Stingy, if you don't borrow, you won't borrow, Shangshu Mansion also has secret guards, although it is not as powerful as yours, it is not a problem to protect individuals." Jiang Yining sighed as he walked, "Shen Qing's late life is really hard, he has set up so many enemies for no reason, and he also has a friend who likes to sit idly by......"

Jiang Yining gradually walked away until she disappeared, and her grievances naturally couldn't be heard, Duan Yuyuan's fingers tapped on the table, his gaze became deeper and deeper, he only said that he would not lend her secret guard, when did he say that he would ignore this matter! A guard walked in briskly from outside the door, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have found out the true identity of the man in black last night!" ”

Shen Qingwan changed his clothes to find Jiang Yining, and halfway through, he saw several monks hurriedly rushing forward with some items: "What happened to the little master?" ”

"A pilgrim was injured, and the little monks gave him medicine!"

Shen Qingwan's eyes flashed, with so many medicines, the person must have been injured not lightly, I don't know if there is any help......

"Night, what are you thinking?" Jiang Yining walked over with the maid.

Shen Qingwan smiled lightly: "It's nothing, how did you come from that direction?" "That's not the direction of her room, it's not the direction of the dining room.

"I'm going to talk to someone." Jiang Yining disagreed.

"Negotiable?" Looking at her solemn appearance, the things to discuss seem to be very important.

"Don't mention it, that person is a dead brain, I reminded him for most of the day, but he didn't guess my intentions." When Duan Yuyuan did other things, he was neat and neat, without dragging his feet, why did he become so stupid emotionally, he liked Shen Qingwan, not only did he not say it directly, but he also hid it every day, for fear of being known by others.

I don't know who is so stupid and criticized by Jiang Yining like this? Shen Qingwan was about to ask, but the eunuch's characteristic shrill voice sounded: "The queen mother has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, and the concubine has arrived......"

Jiang Yining muttered to himself: "It's strange, they didn't arrive at the 100-day festival of King Jing yesterday, why did they come to Xiangguo Temple early this morning?" ”

The queen mother, the queen, and the concubine all arrived, and the host master came to greet him in person, and the monks saluted, and the queen mother smiled amiably: "The master doesn't have to be polite, the mourning family brings his daughter-in-law to pray for blessings, and he has to bother the master more." ”

"Amitabha!" The presiding master clasped his hands together, and the Buddha beads were held between his hands: "The Queen Mother is polite, please here!" ”

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine Niangniang, are you here to pray for the emperor?" Jiang Yining walked over, smiling, and because of happiness, his small eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Lemon is there too!" The Queen Mother is already fifty or sixty years old, and due to proper maintenance, she looks like she is only in her forties, with a kind smile, "Pray for the emperor and for Concubine Xin, don't you know yet, Concubine Xin woke up and was diagnosed as ......pregnant."

The concubine stepped forward and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Yi Ning is still a girl's family, this kind of thing is still ......"

The Queen Mother tapped her forehead with her fingers, looking speechless: "Look at me, I am happy, I can't wait to tell everyone about this happy event, Yi Ning, we are going to the Buddha Hall to pray for blessings, will you go?" ”

Jiang Yining's head shook like a rattle: "If you don't go, don't go, pray for blessings for so long, I will be suffocated to death......"

The Queen Mother smiled helplessly: "This kid ......" is always impatient.

The concubine also smiled and persuaded: "With a cheerful temperament, I always like to be free and easy, and I don't like to be restrained ......."

"Not exactly." After being told by them, Jiang Yining's temperament was close to that of a man: "I have friends, I can't just leave, leave my friends behind, and go to the Buddhist hall to pray for blessings......"

"Yi Ning also has good friends?" Yi Ning hates beautiful women, her friends, is she uglier than her? The Queen Mother did not participate in the flower-viewing banquet, so she naturally didn't know that Jiang Yining and Shen Qing were getting along in the evening.

"Of course, everyone has friends." Jiang Yining ran back to Shen Qingwan's side and proudly introduced to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, this is my good friend, Shen Qingwan." The Queen Mother's gaze turned to Shen Qingwan, and she was suddenly stunned, her smile converged a little without a trace, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes: "You are the daughter of Yangxi girl?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the courtier Shen Qingwan is late." When the Queen Mother saw herself, she reacted a little strangely.

"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? Concubine Xin stepped forward with a worried tone.

The Queen Mother smiled: "It's okay, there were some bumps when I went up the mountain, and I made the old mistake again......"

"Then do you want to call Imperial Doctor Chen to take a look?" The queen's eyebrows were anxious, as if the queen mother was seriously ill.

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "It's just a small problem, you don't need to call the imperial doctor, it's not too early, let's go and pray for blessings." ”

His eyes turned to Jiang Yining, and he smiled softly: "Yining, greet Miss Shen well!" ”
