Chapter 45: Discovering Chen's Secrets
"Donor, please be seated." Master Pudu's words interrupted Meng Xiaoran's thoughts, and she immediately walked over and sat down opposite the dwarf, "Thank you, Master." ”
Pudu poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Meng Xiaoran, smiled and said, "Female donor, please use tea." ”
"Thank you, Master." Meng Xiaoran didn't have any intention of drinking tea at this time, but she didn't dare to refuse this monk who looked a little immortal, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, and finally couldn't hold it back, and asked, "Master, I don't know what you are looking for a little girl?" ”
Master Pudu looked at her, with a smile in his eyes, that smile seemed to see through everything, and seemed to penetrate people's hearts thoroughly, Meng Xiaoran's heart jumped, this Master Pudu is said to be able to detect good luck and evil, and can see the front edge, doesn't he know his origin?
Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoran's heart became a little desperate, she put down the teacup, looked at Master Pudu, and asked tentatively, "Has the master seen the origin of the little girl?" ”
Master Pudu smiled, "In the past life and this life, you don't have to force it, you will be safe when you come." ”
Meng Xiaoran's heart beat violently, she knew that this Pudu Master must know that she had crossed over, so she stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Master, can you tell me how to go back?" ”
Master Pudu shook his head, "The female benefactor came here by coincidence, all because of the fruits planted in her previous life, and now she has come to repay the debts of her previous life. ”
"What does the master mean...... I can still go back, but the time has not yet come? Meng Xiaoran asked suspiciously, if this is the case, it would not be bad.
Unexpectedly, Master Pudu shook his head, "The female benefactor is not in love, I'm afraid this life is destined to be spent here." ”
Meng Xiaoran was stunned, this life is destined to be spent here? So she can't go back?
"Master, is there really no way to go back?" Meng Xiaoran still asked without giving up.
Master Pudu smiled and sighed lightly, "The female benefactor will be able to live freely here." ”
Meng Xiaoran knew that the meaning was already very obvious, she was silent for a long time, and thanked Master Pudu, "Thank you Master for your advice." After saying that, she stood up and left the meditation room, she seemed to have figured it out all the way back, it seems that this trip is to make herself desperate, in this case, don't think about going back, stay here honestly.
After going back, Shen Qian asked, "What did Master Pudu say to you?" ”
Meng Xiaoran smiled, "It's nothing, but it just showed me a way." After speaking, she looked at Shen Qian, "How do I go back now?" ”
Shen Qian had many doubts in his heart, but he knew that this was not the time to ask clearly, so he put it aside for the time being, looked at her and said, "Tonight, let's go over." ”
It was night, two black shadows passed through, in the backyard of the Xiangfu boarding, a meditation room was pushed open, two black shadows flashed in, and after a while, the other two black shadows flashed out again, the door was closed, and everything returned to calm.
Early the next morning, Meng Xiaoran got up, Lu Yi lived in the same room with her, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her get up, "Lu Fu, you finally woke up, if you don't wake up today, Mrs. will send you back, fortunately, you are awake, are you still unwell?" ”
Meng Xiaoran smiled and shook his head, "Thank you Sister Luyi for your concern, I'm fine, I made you worry yesterday." The two went out together while talking, and went to serve Chen's washing, Chen was also slightly surprised when he saw her, but he didn't ask more, Meng Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Chen was not a master who cared about his subordinates, otherwise she wouldn't know what lies to make up and prevaricate.
This matter passed through in such a thrilling way, but when I saw Liu Ruxue during the day, I was still embarrassed, "Hmph, the life of a maid is even like the body of a young lady, and she still faints?" Could it be that your mother brought you here to take care of you? I don't know how thick the sky is. ”
Meng Xiaoran lowered her head and ignored it, let her say enough, and finally saw that she didn't react after scolding for a long time, she snorted coldly and left, Meng Xiaoran raised her head and looked at Liu Ruxue's departing figure, and suddenly smiled, she finally found a good way to deal with it, that is, to turn a deaf ear and let her eldest lady say it, maybe this is the best way for the time being.
Life in the temple is much easier than that of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all she has to do is to serve Chen's daily life, and Chen is used to the care of Luyi, so she is idle and only needs to help Luyi.
During the day, Chen went to the master to listen to the scriptures and worship the Buddha, Meng Xiaoran was able to move freely, she heard that there is a peach blossom forest in the back mountain of Fahua Temple, there are hot springs around there, so the temperature is higher than other places, it is said that the peach blossoms will bloom just after the New Year Festival every year, and there will already be flower bones, Meng Xiaoran is a little interested, and said to the green when he was idle, and then went to the peach blossom forest in the back mountain.
As soon as I got close to this peach blossom forest, I felt that the temperature around me was high, and there was an illusion of spring in an instant, the peach blossom forest was not small, there were already various flower buds on the branches, it must not be long before it would bloom, there were no people in the forest, there must not be many people on the mountain now, it was almost the New Year's Festival, who would pick this time?
Meng Xiaoran looked around, and didn't think the scenery was very good, I think it would be necessary to wait for a while, and it would look good when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, right? She felt bored and went back the way she came, but when she turned around, she saw an acquaintance.
Shen Qian stood not far away, followed by Qingfeng, the two of them seemed to be ordinary tourists, stopped in front of a peach blossom, as if enjoying the flowers, Meng Xiaoran was stunned for a while, and then continued to walk forward, passing by Shen Qian's side, his voice came from his ears, "Be alert tonight, something should happen." ”
She didn't stop, only nodded to them slightly, and then left as usual, wondering what would happen in the night. How did Shen Qian know?
After Meng Xiaoran left, Qingfeng walked up to Shen Qian, who was admiring the flowers, "Childe, are we going tonight?" ”
Shen Qian stroked a bud with his hand and chuckled, "Don't go, why do you want to go?" Since Lu Ziqing wants to play, then I, Shen Qian, will accompany him, and he wants to use Meng Xiaoran to reveal the news to me, so I will pretend that I don't know, and wait for her to find out something before sending me a letter. ”
Qingfeng was a little puzzled, "Why does Childe want to be like this?" Now that we've got the news, why don't we go and find out? Do you have to be so tortuous? ”
Shen Qian raised his eyes to look into the distance, hooked his lips and smiled, "Lu Ziqing's identity is a mystery, we don't know what he wants to do for the time being, why not wait and see?" ”
Qingfeng didn't speak again, and he didn't understand what kind of dumb fan Childe was fighting again, but since Childe arranged it like this, it naturally had his reasons, and he did it himself.
After going back, Meng Xiaoran paid close attention to the things around her, and gradually discovered the abnormality, Chen seemed to have something on her mind after coming back from listening to the scriptures, and she had been sitting still, although it was not obvious, but she still found out.
After finishing the meal sent by the temple in the evening, the Chen family actually sent Luyi with her early, and even Zhang's mother was sent down by her, and such an abnormal behavior was naturally remembered by Meng Xiaoran.
Could it be that what Shen Qian said has something to do with Chen?
Meng Xiaoran shook his head, very puzzled in his heart, "Lufu, what are you thinking?" What to do with shaking your head? ”
Meng Xiaoran was shocked when she heard this, and secretly scolded herself for being too careless, forgetting that she was now living with Luyi, and everything had to be paid attention to, she hurriedly smiled and explained: "It's nothing, I just feel that I went to the Peach Blossom Forest today to see it, and I think the scenery is also very ordinary, but it is not as beautiful as the monks in the temple said." ”
Lu Yi smiled, "It's not time, but in the first month, about the Zhengyuan Festival, the peach blossoms here will bloom, and it will be beautiful at that time." ”
Meng Xiaoran smiled and nodded, the two of them fell asleep after each freshened up, Meng Xiaoran was lying on the bed, but he was in very good spirits, always vigilant, and there was a gentle breathing sound from the green on the opposite side, and he was already asleep.
She waited a little more before she got up quietly, put on her coat, and then folded her clothes and lay down, waiting for the movement outside, and after another hour or so, just when she was about to lose her patience, there was a noise outside, and when she listened closely, it seemed to be the sound of opening and closing the door.
Meng Xiaoran immediately sat up, got out of bed gently, walked to the door and gently opened a thin slit, and under the moonlight, she saw a black shadow walking out of the courtyard, wearing a black cloak, but she still recognized that the person was Chen.
Dressed like this and going out so late, there must be something wrong, Meng Xiaoran pushed open the door and followed her, Chen walked forward quickly, not noticing the people behind him at all, of course, with Meng Xiaoran's ability, it was difficult for her to find out.
Meng Xiaoran looked at the road that Chen was taking, it seemed to be heading towards the back mountain, could it be the peach blossom forest, seeing that the road was becoming more and more familiar, she was sure in her heart, it should be the peach blossom forest, there are trees all around, it is indeed hidden, but I don't know what she is going to do.
When he arrived at the Peach Blossom Forest, Chen entered the forest, the moonlight was very good tonight, the surrounding of the Peach Blossom Forest was warm and suitable, even in the middle of the night, he didn't feel too cold, Meng Xiaoran hid on a thick peach tree, where the branches and leaves were dense, but it was very hidden.
But seeing that Chen Shi entered the forest and stood there, doing nothing, she had some doubts in her heart, could it be that she was waiting for someone?
Appearing here late at night, it's not to do anything else, it's very likely to be someone else, Chen, as the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a deep lady, who do you want to meet?
Could it be?
Meng Xiaoran was frightened by an idea in his heart, but he still couldn't believe it, did the Chen family really dare to do this?
She shook her head secretly, don't guess anymore, wait and see, just as she was thinking about it, there was a sound in the forest, Meng Xiaoran immediately held her breath, and after a while, a person who was also dressed in black walked over, his whole body was wrapped in a cloak, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he should be a man.
When Meng Xiaoran was looking, an amazing scene happened, only to see that Chen, who had always been dignified and decent, actually threw himself into the arms of the man in black, obviously that man was not Liu Yingyuan, could it be that he had just guessed right? Chen's really red apricot is out of the wall?
