Lin Wanrong was close to her, her eyes were good, and she glanced at the content of the note. Needless to say, this must be a marriage sign, but after reading this verse, even his big fool was confused, what does this sign mean, why did it suddenly become profound?

The eldest lady saw Lin San squinting and peeking, and hurriedly hid the stick, her face turned red, and said, "What are you looking at?" I'll go to the old Zen master to solve it. ”

After she finished speaking, she went to find the old monk, Lin Wanrong shook her head, women are women after all, and this marriage has a great impact on them, even a strong woman like Xiao Yuruo is not exempt from vulgarity.

The day passed in a leisurely way, but after the eldest lady asked the old monk to untie the sign, the smile on her face seemed to be much less, adding a little doubt, and I don't know what the old monk said to make the eldest lady like this.

Lin Wanrong said in his heart, the old monk is just as foolish as me, I'm afraid he can't say a few useful words, they are all ambiguous, the only difference is that he charges you two taels of silver, but the talented man is free.

Coming out to play today, this harvest is not small, not only the smile on the face of the eldest lady is more, but also met the great gods such as Xu Wei, the head of the household, and finally did not come in vain.

And the old man in yellow, I don't know what kind of powerful person he is, and how did Uncle Wei know him?

Who does he care about, it's harmless to me anyway, don't think about things you can't figure out, this is Lin Wanrong's creed.

But Miss Xiao is a little weird, after asking for a signature, she has a lot of worries, it seems that the marriage sign has been bothering her, Lin Wanrong doesn't know what the old monk said, and she can only help it.

Back at the residence, the eldest lady said that she would let a few people travel freely tomorrow, and told her not to cause trouble and went back to the room.

Xiao Feng and Xiaocui were pleasantly surprised, probably going on a trip together, Lin Wanrong smiled, and the love affair was hot.

When he returned to the house and put away the "Smoke and Rain Picture of West Lake", Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered, didn't he want to find a buyer for this painting, isn't the old man in the yellow robe today a good wronged man? How can you talk to him about your family and country, but you can't even forget this serious thing, failure!

Early the next morning, the eldest lady regained her strong nature and went out early to visit the famous ladies and ladies in Hangzhou.

Lin Wanrong had nowhere to go, so she wandered around the city alone. The area of Hangzhou city is not large, it is very convenient to go back and forth in the southeast and northwest, and there are a lot of large and small alleys, but there are not many novelties.

When I came to the east of the city near a private house near the Su Causeway, I found that there were hundreds of people surrounded by cigarette smoke and crowds. In the hustle and bustle, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in their mouths: "The White Lotus Niangniang has appeared." ”

"White Lotus Niangniang?" Lin Wanrong is not ordinary sensitive to the word white lotus, so when she heard it, she hurriedly squeezed forward.

I saw that in front of me was an extremely empty place, located in a very large place, but in the middle was a white jade Buddha statue, a dignified woman, kind eyebrows, very kind.

It's strange to say that this white jade Buddha statue is not any Bodhisattva in the temple, and Lin Wanrong has never heard of the name of the White Lotus Niangniang, and what is even more surprising is that this White Lotus Niangniang still has half of her body buried in the soil. Fruit incense burners were placed all around, and countless believers knelt around and chanted "White Lotus Niangniang".

A stout man stepped on a high place and shouted, "Dear believers, brothers and sisters, the benevolent White Lotus Niangniang has appeared. ”

As soon as he shouted, countless believers below shouted: "The White Lotus Niangniang has appeared." ”

Although there were a large number of people, Lin Wanrong observed carefully, but saw that there were many "believers" watching everywhere.

Lin Wanrong understood it, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, damn, it's all a trust.

"In the past few months, the mana merits of the White Lotus Niangniang have all been seen by the believers. Why is the Buddha statue buried deep in the ground, but it can grow an inch a day? This is the benevolent White Lotus Lady showing us the power of the disciples, and she will help us who are suffering. As long as you join the White Lotus Festival, all the members are brothers and sisters, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food, and the shower White Lotus Niangniang's grace is immeasurable. ”

The man loudly agitated, and at that moment, many ordinary people kowtowed to the White Lotus Buddha statue and joined the White Lotus Festival.

, what grows an inch a day? What the hell is this? This White Lotus Festival is so close to the name of the White Lotus Sect that it is not a good thing at a glance.

Lin Wanrong was thinking about it, but someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and saw that a thin and slender face was actually Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, who were given paintings by Su Di yesterday.

Why is this old man here? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, she really doesn't meet everywhere in life.

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Little brother, we meet again." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled: "Lord Xu-"

Xu Wei stopped him with a sigh and said, "This is not a place for conversation, little brother, please come with me." ”

Lin Wanrong followed Xu Wei over, but the two of them boarded a restaurant next to them, and sat near the window, where they could see the White Lotus believers.

Xu Wei smiled: "Little brother, we really still have some fate." ”

Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Lord Xu, I didn't expect to see you here." ”

Xu Wei shook his head and smiled: "Little brother, I saw that you were also a cheerful person yesterday, but why are you so unhappy today?" ”

Lin Wanrong said curiously: "What does Lord Xu mean by this? ”

"I came to Hangzhou this time, all of them are private clothes, just not for swagger, you don't want me to be an official of the imperial court, just call Mr. Xu, Mr. Wenchang is okay. Like yesterday, on the Su Causeway, it is okay to call an old gentleman. If you call that Lord Xu, but it's not cheesy, what is it? Xu Wei said with a smile.

So that's the case, this Xu Wei is a little arrogant, and he doesn't seem to be a person in officialdom. Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Since Mr. Xu said so, I should obey it." ”

Xu Wei sighed: "As an official in the court, there are many taboos, and you must pay attention to everything when talking about things, but in this river and lake, you can be at ease." Wen Chang was also a scholar in the past, and he lived such a carefree life, but now that the personnel have changed, he has a lot of scruples when he talks and does things, which makes people sigh. ”

Xu Wei does have some temperament, and his words seem to be heartfelt, as if he did not treat Lin Wanrong as an outsider.

Lin Wanrong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Xu Wei's words are obviously comfortable to listen to, making people mistakenly think that he is sincere and savoring it, but he didn't say anything except emotion. This is the art of speaking.

However, Xu Wei's official residence is the best, but it is really rare to be so humble and easy to a small family.

Lin Wanrong also admired this Xu Wei a little, and said with a smile: "Where did Mr. Xu say this?" You are the best in the world, and you are a great minister, and you are envious and respected by all the people in the world. The things in the court and the affairs of the rivers and lakes are the same life experience for your cheerful and open-minded character, so what is the difference? ”

Xu Wei glanced at him happily and said, "Little brother, what you said is quite meaningful." Officialdom and rivers and lakes are all life experiences, good, good, this sentence has gone to my heart. ”

He saw that although this Lin San was dressed as a family member, he was talking calmly, and he was sitting on the same level with himself, a member of the imperial court, without the slightest twist, and he was quite surprised in his heart. Yesterday Su Di was absolute, and today he talked eloquently, and it was not easy for this young talent to learn momentum.

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I didn't expect to meet you in this alley, it's really a bit unexpected." ”

Xu Wei said happily: "I didn't expect to say goodbye yesterday, and see you again today." Don't tell you the little brother, you said, the old man is also an idle person, when he was young, he liked to travel the world, and he had some hobbies for strange things. It was only later that he entered the court, and above the temple, there were many official affairs, and he couldn't get out of his body, so he gradually delayed. This time I had the opportunity to come to Hangzhou again, but I stole half a day of leisure and went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to encounter this incident. ”

This Xu Wei has a wide range of friends, has seen a lot, has extraordinary experience, and has some preferences for novelties, so it is no wonder that he can be called the first in the world.

Xu Wei said again: "I have a two-sided relationship with the little brother, but I don't know the little brother's surname?" ”

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "How dare you be respected in front of the elders, my name is Lin San, and I am a small family member of the Xiao family in Jinling. ”

"Jinling Xiao family?" Xu Wei was taken aback: "But after Xiao Ge was old in the past? ”

Xiao Ge Lao? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the old lady of the Xiao family was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the past, and she was a generation higher than this Xu Wei, isn't it the old Xiao Ge?

"Exactly, exactly." Lin Wanrong hurriedly said, if you really meet this Xu Wei at the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce tomorrow, it would naturally be better to get close to him in advance now.

Xu Wei sighed: "In the past, Xiao Ge was the head of Dahua etiquette, and he was a model for the world. It's a pity that he has been dead for many years, and no one can connect with him. ”

Speaking of these, Lin Wanrong is completely a novice, she doesn't understand anything, so she has to laugh awkwardly.

Xu Wei sighed and said, "Miss Guo has been doing well all these years?" In the past, I didn't see her in the capital for more than 20 years. ”

Miss Guo? Lin Wanrong was stunned again, and even if she understood, Mrs. Xiao's maiden name is Guo, and Guo Wuchang is her maiden nephew, isn't she Miss Guo?

Climbing these origins, Lin Wanrong still has a little headache, this has something to do with me, but I didn't expect Mrs. Xiao to know this high-ranking official in the court, but I never heard her mention it, it seems that she was not a simple person in the past.

"Oh, I haven't been in the Xiao family for a long time, but seeing that my wife's appearance is still the same, and the two young ladies are extremely filial, it should look good." Lin Wanrong replied cautiously.

Xu Wei said: "Yesterday on the Su Causeway, the woman who was with you is the eldest lady of the Xiao family?" ”

Lin Wanrong nodded, and Xu Wei sighed: "I saw that when she and Miss Guo were young, they had six or seven points of imagination, and they didn't dare to ask each other rashly, but they didn't expect that they were really old people." ”

Xu Wei has this attitude towards the Xiao family, Lin Wanrong is relieved, even if there is really something at the annual meeting tomorrow, Xu Wei will definitely help.

Lin Wanrong didn't want to talk to him about this idle matter, so he said, "Mr. Xu, you invited me here, but do you want to talk about this White Lotus Festival?" ”

Xu Wei snorted: "What White Lotus Festival, this is the White Lotus Cult." ”

Lin Wanrong said in his heart, sure enough, I knew that it was those miscellaneous people from the White Lotus Sect, who changed the soup but not the medicine.

Xu Wei said: "Little Brother Lin, do you know about this White Lotus Sect?" ”

Lin Wanrong smiled: "How don't you know? I was taken captive by them in the past. ”

"Oh?" Xu Weiqi said: "Brother Lin, you still have such an opportunity? It's strange to call old decay. ”

Lin Wanrong told the story of his capture with the eldest lady, Xu Weinai is a character who has become a jing, and he is the first adviser of the current Dahua Emperor, and he stroked his beard and said: "There is something strange in this matter. As far as I know, the White Lotus teaches people to capture money, and they will never let people go if they don't see gold and silver, and it is too easy for you and Miss Xiao to get out. ”

Lin Wanrong naturally wouldn't say anything about Xiao Qingxuan's rescue, so he said: "It was Tao Dongcheng, the son of Lord Tao Yu of Suzhou Weaving, who borrowed a battalion of soldiers and horses from Master Cheng, the commander of the Jiangsu capital, so that we were able to get out." ”

Xu Wei smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully: "It's no wonder that this is the case." The White Lotus Sect's attempt on Miss Xiao is afraid that it is not as simple as taking money once. ”

This Xu Wei had something to say, as if he knew the twists and turns in this, he paused for a moment and continued: "This White Lotus Sect has made the biggest trouble in Jiangsu and Shandong, and the officials of these two provinces are afraid that they will not be able to get rid of it. ”

Lin Wanrong said in her heart, do you still need to say this? In Jiangsu Province, except for Luo Min's old fox, the other Cheng De, Tao Yu, father and son, and others are afraid that they are all in league with this White Lotus Sect.

Xu Wei continued: "Luo Min, the governor of Jiangsu, is my friend, and I know his sufferings. ”

Xu Wei has been immersed in this officialdom for many years, so he is naturally clear, and he smiled at Lin Wanrong: "Brother Lin, if you have any difficulties in the future, go to find Na Luo Min, just say that Mr. Wen Chang entrusts you, and he will naturally help you." ”

If you want to be late and Rongxin, do you still need your face, I have now accepted Luo Min's son as a junior brother, and the old fox can be respectful to me. However, this Xu Wei is kind, and Lin Wanrong naturally wants to thank him.

Xu Wei's eyes fell on the believers who worshiped the White Lotus Niangniang in the distance, and sighed: "In the past, the White Lotus rebellion was a hunger riot, which is indeed excusable. It's a pity that they are used by people with good intentions, but they go farther and farther, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, so that even the people are very disgusted with them. Destroying this white lotus is a top priority. ”

Lin Wanrong Qi said: "Mr. Xu, since the White Lotus Sect is notorious, why are there still such believers? ”

Xu Wei explained: "This is their demagogy. At present, these believers who worship this White Lotus Niangniang don't know that this White Lotus Festival is the White Lotus Sect, plus their demon magic confuses the public, which is quite tempting to these people, so what you see now.

Lin Wanrong glanced at the distance, and saw that a few loyal believers were actually from the door of the distant alley, so they bowed three times and bowed nine times, and the worship of this White Lotus Niangniang could be said to be in the bones, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "In this world, the most terrible thing is demagogy. Mr. Xu, what kind of demon law are you talking about, but what is it? ”
