Chapter 20: Like a lamp tempting Gu Mengping
Xie was hateful and angry, but he couldn't say what he was suffering about.
The ancestor Yang not only brought the jade to her house to make a room, but also gave a dowry of ten taels of silver.
That's the way to go!
As a granddaughter-in-law, she was powerless to resist.
Xie Shi saw that Gu Weisheng and Jade had a deep affection for each other in the past few days, and they were as good as a person, so they couldn't wait to pounce on them and bite them a few bites.
But she is a sister-in-law, and it is one of her responsibilities to spread the branches and leaves for the Gu family, so how can she say half a word?
In the midst of the Xie family's pain and forbearance, Gu Mengping was called to Dazong by the old patriarch again, saying that he was from Fenglin Temple.
Before leaving, Gu Mengping looked at the yellow calendar, it was only a few days since the old monk went to Nanyang County today, could it be that he came back temporarily due to an accident on the road?
Thinking of this reason, Gu Mengping was only so shocked that he was covered in sweat, and he couldn't wait to fly to the old patriarch's house with wings.
"This little master claims to be a disciple of your old friend, and wants to take you to Fenglin Temple for a talk." The old patriarch looked at the little novice standing in the room and introduced it to Gu Mengping.
Fenglin Temple is the family temple of the Gu family, and the whole Suiping knows it. Usually, no one will go to Fenglin Temple at all, and there will be no monks to place orders. The old monk of Mingkong has obviously gone to Nanyang County, how can there be people from Fenglin Temple?
When he first saw this little novice, he almost had someone tie him up. If it weren't for the fact that he held the handwriting of the old monk Mingkong, he really had to suspect that this person had bad intentions.
Seeing that Gu Mengping and the little novice were really familiar, the old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.
The little novice respectfully made a Buddhist salute and said, "My master asked the little benefactor to go to the mountain, saying that he had something to ask. ”
What is the matter with the monk Rudeng looking for him? Is it the Master? Gu Mengping's heart that he had just put down became nervous again. But he glanced at the old patriarch, who was also a little nervous, and swallowed the words he wanted to ask back into his stomach.
In Fenglin Temple, it was really a monk like a lamp, and when he saw Gu Mengping going up the mountain, a smile appeared on his face, "Little donor, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your demeanor is still the same." ”
Seeing that his face was relaxed, Gu Mengping's heart was slightly retracted, and he also bowed down and gave a Buddhist salute, "Great monk An." ”
Monk Rudeng stroked his bald head with his hand and smiled, "It was fine, but a certain family just walked here and suddenly wanted to meet the master, but I didn't expect him to go to Nanyang?" Speaking of this, he looked at Gu Mengping, his eyes were like a moment, as if there was a divine light looming.
Gu Meng was calm and calm, and said, "Master said a few days ago that he felt unwell and wanted to ask Chen Daochang, who was from Nanyang Xuanmiaoguan, to help him heal him. Originally, Qingjing said that he would accompany the master master, but he ......" He lowered his head when he said this, "...... The great monk must have known about the situation in the pure home. He paused and said, "Uncle De of the Great Sect led the clansmen to go with the master, and Yijing was also waiting by the side. ”
Monk Rudeng squinted his eyes and smiled, "I see, a certain family thought that the master master was wandering and placing orders." ”
Gu Mengping lowered his head.
He knew that the identity of the monk Rudeng was not simple, but he didn't expect that he would suspect the old monk. The old monk had just gone out, and he arrived at Fenglin Temple on his hind legs.
If it weren't for the fact that he heard the old monk talk about the murder of the third prince, he really couldn't see what the actions of the monk like a lamp today meant.
In this way, the true identity of the monk is about to come out! Who else in this court is related to the monk? Who else can command the monks of the world except Master Hui?
If it was not bad as he expected, the old monk should not be due to physical reasons, but because he had something to ask Chen Xuanyi.
A monk's gate, a Taoist gate.
What is there about the old monk who will seek a mystical view?
After he left, the little novice who went to invite Gu Mengping walked to the meditation room, lowered his eyes and said, "Master Qiqi, the disciples have already found out, and Daochang Chen has entered Beijing with the Xiao family's convoy a few days ago. ”
"The Xiao family?" Monk Rudeng frowned, revealing a caution that had never been shown in front of Gu Mengping, "Why did their family interfere?" At this juncture, did you want to get Chen Daochang to the capital, or did you want to do something? ”
Xiao Shami bowed down again and gave a Buddha salute, "Back to Master, Governor Xiao's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, is the niece of Daochang Chen's younger brother Daochang Zhang Xubai, and it is expected that she can invite Daochang Chen to enter Beijing." The disciple also inquired that Daoist Zhang Xubai had traveled the world a month ago......"
A month ago? Wasn't this just a few days after the third prince was killed? So, the Xiao family got the news in the shortest time and made arrangements?
The monk was stunned, and he suddenly remembered that Mrs. Zhang had led her daughter Xiao Wanyi to visit Gujiadong Mansion a few days ago.
"You go to find out, why did Mrs. Zhang go to visit the Gu family's East Mansion, and what did she say when she visited." Such as the lamp monk Tao.
Seeing that the little novice was ordered to retreat, the face of the monk Rulan became gloomy, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on several cases.
Then, his face changed greatly, "It's not good, although Your Majesty believes in Buddhism, he also respects the Tao." ”
He jerked to his feet.
"What a cunning Governor Xiao, at this juncture, I invited Daochang Chen into Beijing. First, it can make Xuan Miaoguan headless and unable to meddle in the search for the three princes; Second, Daochang Chen can get close to His Majesty. kills two birds with one stone, and is worthy of Xiao Jinxuan, who has been sitting firmly in the position of governor of Jiliao for decades. ”
The slightly squinted eyes of the monk revealed a murderous aura.
……
Gu's East Mansion, the main courtyard is in the upper room.
Mrs. Dong sat and talked to a middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a moon-white vase-patterned makeup gown, with a goose gall bun loosely tied on her head, and a stone-colored forehead bandana, which looked ordinary and unremarkable.
But the smile on Mrs. Dong's face looked much kinder than usual.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "...... My old lady asked me to thank Dong Gongren, if it wasn't for the invitation, I'm afraid I would not have touched Daochang Chen. Since the old lady knew the news of Xi Ge'er's illness, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and burned incense for Xi Ge'er every day in front of the ancestor of Sanqing. ”
When Mrs. Dong heard this, the smile on her face deepened, "Where, where, the child's illness is a big deal, it is also a coincidence to be able to invite Chen Daochang, and it is also a blessing for Brother Xi, where do I dare to accept Mrs. Lin's word of thanks?" ”
It turned out that this middle-aged woman was Mrs. Lin's granddaughter-in-law, Zhao, and she came to thank Chen Daochang for coming to Beijing to see a doctor for Brother Xi.
"Our old lady said that if she was too old to walk, she would come to the house to thank her in person." Zhao said with a smile.
When Mrs. Dong heard this, she couldn't sit still anymore, and she hurriedly bowed slightly, with an excited look on her face.
No wonder she is excited, there are no elders in the Xiao Mansion, and Xiao Jinxuan, the governor of Jiliao, treats the nurse Mrs. Lin as an elder and treats her very respectfully. Since Mrs. Dong returned to Suiping, she wanted to see Mrs. Lin several times, but she refused on the pretext that she was weak and sick and inconvenient to see guests.
The two of them were talking here, but they saw the stone blue silk curtain gently lifted, and Mrs. Dong's personal grandmother walked in.
She glanced at Mrs. Dong and stood in the corner.
Zhao understood, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Dong kept a few words and sent her to the Hanging Flower Gate.
When the people got into the carriage, the grandmother whispered in Mrs. Dong's ear, "Mrs. Sheng, the fourth master of Xifu has caused a big accident." ”
"What catastrophe?" Dong Datai saw that she didn't use trouble but the word "trouble", and his face changed slightly.
