When I got into the carriage, I saw that Cheng Mo was also there, sitting motionless with his eyes closed.

Lu Guanlan sat down on the side and said softly, "Thank you, Second Prince." ”

Suddenly, Cheng Mo opened his eyes, his eyes were shining with water, and he looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Lu's dress is novel," Cheng Mo saw that Lu Guanlan was dressed in coarse clothes and his hair was messy, and he didn't feel a little funny.

Lu Guanlan listened to Cheng Mo's jokes, and it was not easy to refute. After all, now that I have received the favor of others, I have to be grateful.

The entrance of Bao'an Temple is very quiet, and there are not many pilgrims coming and going.

Cheng Mo's carriage stopped at the back door, and the maid Chu Ling got out of the carriage first, and was about to turn her head to help Lu Guanlan, when she saw Lu Guanlan lift her skirt and jump down.

Lu Guanlan stood beside the carriage and saluted the people in the carriage, "The second prince helped today, and Guanlan will definitely repay him in the future," said him, and he didn't go back to the temple.

Cheng Mo lifted the curtain at this time, looked at Lu Guanlan's back who left in a hurry, and muttered thoughtfully: "Why do I look, she doesn't look like she's thanking me?" ”

Bao'an Temple is not big, and there is a small garden at the back door. Bypassing the pond, you can see the courtyard of the wings.

The yard is not big, but I don't know where my grandfather and grandmother are hidden.

Not to mention whether there are Liu Hanqi's people in this temple, even if she looks for it one by one, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and it will be difficult for her to cause trouble.

At this time, I saw a little novice coming from the front yard, and when he saw that there was an extra person in the back yard, he was a little puzzled.

"I wonder what this benefactor is doing here?" The little novice stepped forward, folded his hands and asked.

Lu Guanlan also gave a salute and said tentatively: "Does the little master know, where is the old man of the Liu family who lived in the temple a few days ago?" ”

Xiao Shami didn't hide it, thought about it, and said: "The old man and his wife of the Liu family are fasting and recuperating in the south wing, I don't know why this female donor is looking for the two?" ”

Fasting and retreating? Lu Guanlan frowned, "I was originally a maid in the family, and I received a great favor from the old lady, and when I heard that the old man was sick, I wanted to come over to serve the old lady." ”

Xiao Shami didn't doubt it, and saw that Lu Guanlan's eyes were clear and clean, and he didn't look like a bad person, so he said, "The female donor comes with me." ”

To say that fortunately, someone leads the way, the south chamber of this Bao'an Temple is extremely remote, bypassing the three small Buddha halls, almost to the back mountain, only to see the courtyard of the south chamber.

Xiao Shami led Lu Guanlan to the courtyard, and saw that the door was closed and there was no one.

The little novice walked to the door of a room, knocked lightly, and heard the voice of an old woman come from within—

"What?"

The voice was indifferent, as if he was not very welcome.

Before Xiao Shami could answer, Lu Guanlan spoke: "Grandma! ”

I heard the sound of broken cups and bowls from inside, and I heard the eagerness of my steps, and then the door opened.

The little novice was also stunned, how could it be different from what he said? Why did this girl, who was a servant before, call her grandmother?

Lu Guanlan looked at his grandmother's old face, although he didn't see the spirit of the past, the love in his eyes was still not less.

Lu Guanlan came back to his senses, turned his head and bowed his head at Xiao Shami: "The little girl has a hard time deceiving the little master, and this time, I asked the little master to keep it a secret for me." ”

The little novice didn't blame, but said, "The monks don't speak, I just don't see anything today, and if anyone asks, I don't know." ”

Lu Guanlan clasped his hands together gratefully and bowed to the little novice.

As soon as the little novice left, Lu Guanlan hurriedly took his grandmother's hand and entered the house, closed the door, and closed the latch again, which was like a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Liu looked at her granddaughter, her eyes were full of love, and when she saw her dressed so simply, she suddenly felt distressed: "Good boy, you should have suffered on the road, right?" ”

Lu Guanlan shook his head and helped his grandmother sit down: "Grandma, how is my grandfather doing now?" How did you two elders leave Liu's house and come here? ”

Old Madam Liu sighed, slowly turned her head to look at the bedroom, turned her head, and her eyes were a little red: "I can't speak anymore, I can still write in my hand a few days ago, and what I want to do, I will write it in the palm of my hand." I've been delirious for the past few days, and I don't understand what he's trying to say. ”

As he spoke, he shook Lu Guanlan's hand again and continued: "As for why you came here, it's all because of Liu Hanqi's evil animal. ”

Speaking of Liu Hanqi, Mrs. Liu's face was full of anger, her chest rose and fell for a while, and she was very angry.

Lu Guanlan hurriedly calmed his grandmother's breath, "Grandma don't be angry, so as not to hurt your body," said, Lu Guanlan looked towards the bedroom, "Can you take a look at grandpa?" ”

Old Madam Liu nodded, slowly stood up, and led Lu Guanlan towards the bedroom.

My grandfather was lying on his back on the couch, his eyes half-open, his pupils cloudy, as if he was a little delirious, muttering something but not making the slightest sound.

Old Madam Liu was sad in her heart: "Your grandfather's appearance now won't last long." ”

Lu Guanlan's heart was extremely astringent, and he endured the resentment in his heart, asked his grandmother to sit down, and said, "Grandma, you will tell your granddaughter everything now, and your granddaughter will think about it." ”

Old Madam Liu sighed again, and then told the whole story.

It turned out that after my grandfather learned that his mother had died, he also fell seriously ill, and he couldn't get up at that time. It's just that at that time, my grandfather's spirit was not as chaotic as it is now, and he could also write.

I wanted to send her a letter to her in Beijing, so that she could come back early to inherit the ancestral business, but unexpectedly, the people sent there were no news.

At this time, my grandfather found out that Liu Han had already started the idea of seizing the ancestral industry, and took advantage of his poor health in the past two years to buy many people in the inner courtyard of the house, in order to smoothly inherit the Liu family's ticket number and the century-old ancestral industry.

Only then did my grandfather know that the people who were sent to deliver her letters were all intercepted by Liu Hanqi halfway.

So, my grandfather asked my grandmother to secretly find Mama Zhou, so that Mama Zhou could avoid Liu Hanqi's eyes and send the letter secretly.

Not long after the letter was sent to Beijing, Liu Hanqi broke into the house and forcibly took the two out and sent them to the temple under the pretext of his grandfather and grandmother recuperation.

That's why when Lu Guanlan knocked on the door with Xiao Shami, his grandmother thought that Liu Hanqi had sent someone again, so her attitude was so indifferent.

Lu Guanlan listened, only to feel that the anger was surging, like a fire, burning her heart little by little.

It turned out that the letter that was delivered to her was not the first letter. It turned out that my grandfather had held on for so long before she finally came back.

Liu Hanqi, a good Liu Hanqi.

Since she wanted to snatch other people's things, she would let him taste the taste of losing her own things.

Coming out of the wing, it was already evening, and the afterglow was sprinkled from the sky, reflecting the brilliance of the Buddhist temple.

Lu Guanlan walked to the front of the Buddha hall and paid homage to the solemn Buddha statue.

Standing up again, she looked at the Buddha statue and stood quietly in place.

"The things in the donor's heart are not something that can be figured out by worshipping the Buddha."

Lu Guanlan turned his head and watched the old monk in his robe walk slowly.

"Isn't it natural for the world to participate in Zen and worship the Buddha and solve doubts in front of the Buddha? What does the elder mean by this, but does it mean that I don't have to go to the shrine? Lu Guanlan's expression was indifferent, and there seemed to be a strong evil aura in his eyes.

The old monk smiled slightly, faced the Buddha statue, and folded his hands to say Amitabha.

Lu Guanlan thought that the old monk would not say anything anymore, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

He listened to the words behind him: "In this world, there is nothing to take for granted except death." ”

When the words fell, the temple bell rang, and it seemed to hit her heart one after another.

Lu Guanlan was silent for a long time, did not speak, and turned his head to leave the Buddhist hall.

Lu Guanlan went out the back door and was a little surprised to see that Chengmo's carriage was still there.

At this time, Chu Ling stood up from the side of the flower bed and saluted her: "The master will go first, let the slave wait for Miss Lu here." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, "Thank you to the second prince, there is also Miss Lao." ”

Chu Ling didn't seem to expect Lu Guanlan to thank her, but she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly helped Lu Guanlan into the carriage.

The carriage traveled all the way, but stopped in the backyard of the Mochizuki Tower.

I heard Chu Ling say: "The master sent someone to pick up the carriage that Miss Lu sent to Wanci'an, and the carriage was being watched and stopped at the front door. Miss Lu had dinner first, and then changed clothes with the maid before going to the front door, and then the master would send someone to send Miss Lu's maid back quietly. ”

Lu Guanlan didn't expect Cheng Mo to arrange it so carefully, and couldn't help but sigh, in the end, he was the prince who was valued by the emperor, if he didn't have the intention of being the emperor, he wouldn't have been calculated so easily by Cheng Ye.

I got out of the carriage and entered the Mochizuki Tower from the backyard.

Chu Ling led her up to the top floor, saying that Cheng Mo had prepared the meal and told her to eat here.

The moon platform is still as beautiful as ever, and the table of food prepared by Cheng Mo is also excellent, which really makes her feel a little hungry.

After using some food, Lu Guanlan put down his chopsticks and asked Chu Ling where Ah Li was.

Chu Ling said: "Miss Lu's maid is waiting on the first floor, and she will be seen when Miss Lu goes downstairs after finishing her meal." ”

Lu Guanlan felt sorry for Ah Li, this girl was also tired for a day, so he said, "Ask her to come up and join me." ”

Chu Ling bowed: "Miss Lu, no, this is the dinner prepared by the master for Miss Lu, and the people next to him can't be contaminated." ”

Lu Guanlan frowned, got up and said, "I've run out, let's go downstairs." ”

In the private room on the first floor, Ah Li was waiting for Lu Guanlan, and the second prince was sitting next to her, which made her a little stunned.

At this time, I saw the door open, and Chu Ling walked in with Lu Guanlan.

As soon as Ah Li saw her young lady, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Miss is okay today, right?" ”

Seeing that Ah Li was safe and sound, Lu Guanlan also sighed, and said with a smile: "It's okay," he said, looked at Cheng Mo, and gave Cheng Mo a salute, "Thanks to the second prince today." ”

Cheng Mo was sitting on the recliner reading a book, and when he heard this, he put the scroll in his hand on his lap and looked at Lu Guanlan.

"You only say thank you, but how do you thank you, you say to listen to me?" Suddenly, Cheng Mo asked such a sentence.

Lu Guanlan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes, and waved his hand to signal Ah Li to retreat.

Seeing this, Cheng Mo also nodded and let Chu Ling go out.

Since everything has been said about this, there is no need for her to be obscure, so she said: "Your Majesty has not yet established a prince, and among the several princes, His Royal Highness is most valued by His Majesty. Although the Second Highness is indifferent and ambitious, this court is treacherous and the harem is changeable, how can he retreat with only an indifferent heart. ”

Lu Guanlan's words have crossed the line, and if she were someone else, she would have been cured.

Cheng Mo listened very carefully, and there was not the slightest displeasure on his face.
