Chapter 545: Whereabouts

Before the shopkeeper Mao had time to talk about the tea business with the big shopkeeper of the Dongchang, his wishful thinking had already failed.

  The subordinate who was in charge of monitoring the head office of the Dongchang at the wharf outside the Sanshan Gate reported the latest news, and Miss Xue Si arrived at the head office in a carriage early this morning, and then stayed inside for a while, and then left again. The watchdog saw a girl who looked like the third girl Xie Yingrong from a distance, and got into the carriage of the fourth girl Xue at the door, and a girl who looked like beeswax got into the small carriage where the girls and the mother-in-law were sitting, and the group walked away.

  It seems that they are going to the southeast, most likely to the area of Bao'en Temple.

  Xie Mulin was silent for a while before he asked the person who came to report the news: "What do you think...... How is the complexion of the three girls? Are you in a good mood? What about Miss Xue? ”

  The visitor thought for a moment and replied: "The third girl has a good complexion, she has changed into a decent dress, and she looks like the daughter of those noble families when she went out as a guest, and she is much richer than when she was at home. Beeswax also changed into the dress of the Xue family's girl, and the master and servant both had smiles on their faces. What is the mood of Miss Xue Si, the little ones are not clear, we didn't see Miss Xue Si's face, but she is also dressed neatly and decently, slightly more elegant than the third girl's dress, and there are not many jewelry on her head, but it seems to be more valuable. ”

  The servants of the Xie family who stayed in the capital, because they also had to take care of the envoys on the Guiyuan side, saw that there were many high-ranking officials and nobles, and their eyesight was also trained. He felt that the jewelry worn by Miss Xue Si was far more valuable than that worn by Xie Yinghui, so there would definitely be no fake.

  Xie Mulin just wondered, Miss Xue Si also specially provided Xie Yingrong's master and servant with full-body clothes, could it be true that she planned to bring them to Bao'en Temple? Does she know what Xie Yingrong plans to do? What did Xie Yingrong use in exchange for Miss Xue Si's help? Is it really relying on the original life-saving grace?

  Xie Mulin thought about it and decided not to speculate more, she directly took the name of her eldest sister Xie Yinghui, handed it to Jiang Pu to hold, and then asked the latter to stand guard at the tea stall in front of the mountain gate of Bao'en Temple with the people who came to report the news. When did you see Miss Xue Si's carriage coming, when did you hand over the name card and ask to see Miss Xue Si, in the name of the eldest sister Xie Yinghui, she asked to bring Xie Yingrong back.

  If Miss Xue doesn't agree, it doesn't matter if she makes some noise. There should be a lot of powerful people coming and going in front of Bao'en Temple today, it's really a big trouble, and the Xue family has no face. It's not that the girl of the Xie family ran away over the wall, but the daughter of the Xue family had to take the girl of the Xie family away, but she didn't tell the family, and the Xue family ignored it.

  Jiang Pu is the big girl in Xie Xianzhi's courtyard, trained by Pingnan Bofu, and knows how to deal with this kind of scene. Now that the Pingnan Bo Mansion is too busy to take care of itself, and the Chengenhou Mansion intends to show goodwill, presumably no one on the Cao family's side will embarrass her.

  Jiang Pu took the order and left, and after less than an hour, he turned around again and presented a letter: "I saw Miss Xue Si, but she said that the third girl was not with her, they just walked together for a while." When the carriage of the Xue family passed in front of the mountain gate of Xitian Temple, the fourth girl Xue put down the third girl and the beeswax, and now they are not in the Bao'en Temple. ”

  "Xitian Temple?!" Xie Mulin took the letter in surprise, and unexpectedly saw similar words written on it in beautiful hairpins. Miss Xue Si explained that she met Miss Xie San, who had helped her, by chance, and saw that the other party's master and servant did not have a carriage and wanted to go to Xitian Temple, so she took them for a ride, and they had already dropped it at the gate of Xitian Temple. She didn't know why the Xie family knew that Xie Yingrong had once ridden in her carriage, but if the Xie family wanted to find their daughter, even if they went to Xitian Temple to find it, it had nothing to do with her.

  It's pretty clear. If Xie Mulin hadn't known from the people who were watching that they were in the carriage together in front of the head office of the Dongchang, maybe he would have believed it a little. And Miss Xue described Xie Yingrong's life-saving kindness as "once helping herself", how contemptuous is her attitude? Did she really take Xie Yingrong's benefactor to heart?

  Xie Mulin put his mind at ease and asked Jiang Pu with some doubts: "What is in the Xitian Temple?" What is the third sister doing there? "The Xitian Temple she knows should be a cemetery, right?

  Jiang Pu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know either." Although Xitian Temple is a temple, but few people will go to the incense to worship the Buddha, there are several royal mothers and princes buried in it, but it is not a royal cemetery, in addition to the burial of several princes, Hou Ye, the edict or something, I heard that it is a little gloomy, and there have been rumors of haunting. The Cao family has always forbidden the young masters and ladies of the family to go there, at most, the ancestors buried there have their families and descendants go to worship incense. Those who want to worship the Buddha would rather take a few steps less and come to the Bao'en Temple. ”

  "Take a few steps less", yes, Xitian Temple is in the east of Bao'en Temple, in fact, it is more deviated from the avenue. When ordinary people come out of the city, they will pass through Bao'en Temple before they can reach Xitian Temple. Xue Si girl said that when she was passing by Xitian Temple, she let go of Xie Yingrong's master and servant, which was a bit false. What kind of medicine is sold in her gourd, Xie Mulin doesn't bother to pay attention to it at the moment, he just wants to know what Xie Yingrong is doing in Xitian Temple? Could it be that she still plans to walk from there to Bao'en Temple? Or is it ...... Who did she meet there?

  Xie Mulin remembered one thing, and immediately called Xiang Tao: "Is there any news from the people who are staring at the Bian family?" Xiangtao shook her head: "There hasn't been any movement yet." ”

  Xie Mulin thought for a while, and then asked Jiang Pu: "Does Xitian Temple have a courtyard or something to rent out?" ”

  Jiang Pu hesitated a little: "The people buried there are all people with status, there will definitely be a place for the people who guard the mausoleum, or a place for the family members who come to worship to rest and spend the night, right?" As for whether these places will be rented out, she doesn't know. The Cao family never went to Xitian Temple, and all she knew was from listening to other people's discussions.

  Xie Mulin immediately took out the name of his eldest brother Xie Xianzhi, explained to an entourage, and took it to Xitian Temple to ask the monk who was in charge there. If Xie Yingrong really lived there, she didn't have to startle the snake and report back to her immediately, she could ask her eldest brother to come forward and take someone to arrest someone.

  After lunch, Xie Mulin took a nap, and he heard a report from someone watching outside Bian's house, saying that Mrs. Bian took Mrs. Bian to travel in a carriage and went in the direction of Bao'en Temple.

  Immediately afterwards, the attendant who went to the Xitian Temple turned around and reported that the chief monk of the Xitian Temple admitted that two female guests had worshiped the Buddha in the main hall of his house, and then rested with tea in the side hall, but they left not long after. The family members of an official eunuch family passed by the Xitian Temple in a carriage and took their master and servant away. Looking at the appearance of the affectionate conversation when the two sides meet, they should be very familiar relatives and friends. A lantern was hung under the eaves of the carriage, and the word "Bian" was written on it.

  Xie Yingrong: Is this finally reuniting with the Bian family?

  Xie Mulin sneered and explained to Mrs. Jiang: "Remember to bring the names of my father and the old lady, and when we find out where the Bian family is located, we will immediately hand over the post." I want to see what reason the Bian family used to protect the third sister this time. If they continue to be fooled and refuse to let go, I don't mind learning from the eldest sister at all, and tear down the third sister's platform in front of the Bian family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law! ”
