It is now May, and it has been a month since Lu Daixin said goodbye to the Xun family and moved into the Shen Mansion on Baiyang Street in the west of the city.

In the past month, Lu Daixin has been hiding in the mansion, not daring to take half a step out of the mansion, not to be careful about the pregnancy of more than four months, but really afraid of going out to be seen by the people of the Xun family, according to her reply to Xun Boyu, now she should be in Fanyang's hometown.

Shen Wenhe Fengdao, Lu Daixin believes in Buddhism, she has always had the habit of going to the temple every month to burn incense and worship the Buddha, donating merit money, and now she is bored in the house and cannot go out, and she has not been to Jiming Temple for two months.

There was an ordinary carriage with a green roof parked at the gate of the house, and Lu Daixin had already planned to go to Jiming Temple half a month ago, but he had been scrupling about this and that, and he endured it several times and decided not to go for the time being, and now he finally ordered the people below to prepare the carriage.

Lu Daixin stood in the yard, and the maid Ahuai took a light gauze fence in her hand, hurried over from the backyard, went around to Lu Daixin, lifted the fence in her hand over her head, and carefully put it on for her, and then carefully helped her out of the door.

The coachman put Mazha on the ground early, Ludaixin supported Ah Huai with one hand, held the edge of the carriage with the other, stepped timidly on Ma Za, and sat in the carriage, and Ah Huai followed closely behind.

At that time, at the gate of Jiming Temple, an ordinary carriage was also parked, Xie Zheng and Yuzhi were sitting inside, and the two of them neither got off nor set off to return to the Hou Mansion.

I saw Yuzhi sitting by the window, lifting the corner of the curtain from time to time, and secretly looking out, as if waiting for someone.

Suddenly, seeing a carriage with a green roof heading towards Jiming Temple, Yuzhi looked carefully at the coachman sitting in front of him, and immediately turned back to Xie Zheng and said, "Lady, she has arrived." ”

Yuzhi still opened the corner of the curtain with one hand and opened a palm-sized hole, Xie Zheng heard this, so he looked out through the hole, and sure enough, he saw the coachman stop the carriage, and then a young maid carefully helped a "girl" with a big belly to get out of the car.

Xie Zheng lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure that this is the lady of the Fan Yang Lu family?" ”

"The slave has seen her once, it's true, that's her, not to mention that the coachman is also the manpower arranged by the slave, there will be nothing wrong."

Xie Zheng pondered: "Why do you look like you're only fourteen or fifteen years old......"

Yuzhi replied: "You Xiao said that she is only fifteen this year. ”

Only fifteen? Xie Zheng looked at Lu Daixin from afar, his heart could be described as mixed, thinking that girl was only so young, and she was also from a famous family, how could she be willing to be an outsider...... No, she is not Shen Wenhe's outer room, at most she is just a mistress raised outside, not even a concubine.

Alas, I don't know if Shen Wenhe deceived people with his rhetoric, or if this girl herself is shameless......

Ludaisin was wearing a mash fence when he went out, but he got into the carriage and took it off, but when he got off the carriage, he didn't even think to put it on again, but forgot it in the car.

She was supported by Ah Huai and was walking towards the mountain gate of Jiming Temple, when Yuzhi immediately said, "Lady, she went in." ”

"Then let's go in too," Xie Zheng said, and then got out of the carriage, Yuzhi followed behind her, raised her feet and stepped into the mountain gate, looked back and waved his hand at the coachman who secretly looked at Lu Daixin, the coachman understood, nodded slightly, and then quietly drove away.

There was only a rain a few days ago, the moss in the temple was crazy, the stone steps were a little slippery, Lu Daixin walked all the way, trembling, Ah Huai held her arm, and walked very slowly.

Xie Zheng entered the mountain gate and walked quietly behind her.

Ah Huai opened his mouth and complained: "Lady, we shouldn't have picked someone to come over today, this road is too slippery." ”

"It's just that the road is slippery, and there are few people who come to incense today," Lu Daixin said this, only to notice that something was missing, she stopped, and exclaimed: "Eh, where is my fence!" ”

As she spoke, she turned around and looked at the mountain gate from afar, but her feet slipped and she exclaimed, Ah Huai dragged her arm, but she couldn't hold it, Xie Zheng walked behind her, and quickly stepped forward two steps to support her, and shouted: "Be careful!" ”

Lu Daixin was frightened, even if she stood firmly, she was still palpitating, she was supported by Xie Zheng with one hand, covering her chest with the other, gasping for breath, Ah Huai also hurriedly helped her, and asked in a panic: "Lady, ......are you okay?"

"I ...... I'm fine......" Ludaisin was still slurring as he spoke, and he was really frightened.

Xie Zheng heard that Ah Huai still called his big-bellied master "lady" in front of her, an outsider, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, thinking that this maid really didn't know how to shy away from some etiquette.

"It only rained a few days ago, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, so Madame should be careful," Xie Zheng withdrew his hand and smiled at Lu Daixin.

Lu Dai Xin Shi was shocked, and it wasn't until Xie Zheng opened his mouth that she came to her senses, so she nodded to Xie Zheng and said with a smile: "Thank you for this lady who came to the rescue, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"My surname is Xie," Xie Zheng did not mention his identity, nor did he say his name, she went to Jiming Temple today to "meet" Lu Daixin, but she wanted to get something out of her mouth, and she didn't want to reveal her identity, which is why she came here in an ordinary carriage.

When it comes to the Xie family, in Jiankang, no one first thinks of the Chen Jun Xie family, and Lu Daixin is the same, she asked: "Is it the Chen Jun Xie family?" ”

"It's the Xie clan," Xie Zheng said, and then asked, "What is the name of Madame?" ”

Lu Daixin replied with a smile: "My surname is Lu, Fan Yang Lu." ”

When a woman marries, she often follows her husband's surname, and even if she doesn't follow her husband's surname, she should claim to be a lady of a certain family when she goes out to meet guests.

Although Lu Daixin did not marry Shen Wenhe, she was pregnant, and now she was pregnant, and even Xie Zheng called her "madam", even if she wanted to say that her family was Fan Yang Lu's family, she needed to add a sentence about her husband's surname.

But when she replied like this, Xie Zheng didn't know what to call her, so she had to call her "Lu Niangzi"?

Xie Zheng pretended to be surprised, looked at Lu Daixin's belly, and then looked at her green silk that had not yet been tied up, and called tentatively: "Lu Niangzi? ”

Lu Daixin realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he was stunned and didn't know how to answer, but Ah Huai next to him was clever, and hurriedly told Xie Zheng: "My family's surname is Shen." ”

"Oh......" Xie Zheng sneered and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Shen." ”

"Uh...... Yes, yes," Ludesin was embarrassed, but also sneered in response.

After Lu Daixin finished speaking, he awkwardly turned to the direction of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and Xie Zheng asked, "Mrs. Shen is also here to offer incense today?" ”

"Yes, pray for the child in my womb," Lu Daixin said, and reached out to touch his belly, Xie Zheng smiled: "That's right, you and I can go together." ”

"Okay," Lu Daixin has always had no heart, and Xie Zhengshi saved her again, she naturally won't be wary of Xie Zheng, and the two of them went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to offer incense together.

Lu Daixin and Xie Zheng knelt in front of the Buddha statue successively, Ah Huai also followed the jade branch to donate merit money, Lu Daixin sincerely worshiped the Buddha, knelt on the futon, his hands were folded, his eyes were closed, Xie Zheng knelt aside, but from time to time he looked at her sideways, and when Lu Daixin finished worshipping the Buddha and struggled to get up, Xie Zheng went over to help her again, and the two went out of the hall.

"Thank you," Lu Daixin spoke in a very soft and low voice, looking particularly gentle, and she asked Xie Zheng jokingly: "Xie Niangzi worships the Buddha, is it to seek marriage, or to seek peace?" ”

Xie Zheng didn't have time to think about it, so he replied: "Mrs. Shen seems to be younger than me, and now she has found a wishful husband and is pregnant, and I have not been able to marry myself out so far, the most important thing at the moment is not to ask for marriage!" ”

When Lu Daixin heard this, he couldn't help but hide his face and laugh, and said: "Like Xie Niangzi, a girl from the scholar clan who is outstanding in appearance and quite talented, she will marry in the future, she must be a master, and now she is not in a hurry, maybe fate has not arrived." ”

"Then borrow Mrs. Shen's auspicious words," Xie Zheng was full of spring breeze, and his smile seemed to be very agreeable, and Lu Daixin continued: "I heard that behind Dongfu City, there is a ginkgo tree, which is full of marriage signs, and they all say that the tree is called the marriage tree, but if men and women go to seek marriage together, they will be able to get married, Xie Niangzi, you can go and see." ”

Xie Zheng only answered her a few words perfunctorily, who would have thought that Lu Daixin was so kind-hearted, Xie Zheng had to deal with it and replied: "If there is really such a benefit, then I have to take a moment to ask for anything." ”

The two were standing outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall talking and laughing, when Yuzhi and Ah Huai donated merit money and walked out, and a group of four people walked to the gate of the mountain.

When he walked outside the mountain gate, Lu Daixin said to Xie Zheng: "Xie Niangzi, it's getting late, I should go home, no matter how late it is, the road will be difficult to walk." ”

Yuzhi had already sent Lu Daixin's carriage away, Xie Zheng heard Lu Daixin say this, so he looked back at Yuzhi and glanced at each other, and then returned to Lu Daixin, "Mrs. Shen be careful on the road. ”

Lu Daixin bowed her head slightly, walked down the mountain gate, glanced left and right, only to realize that the carriage was not waiting here, she exclaimed: "Ah Huai, did you tell the coachman to wait here?" ”

Ah Huai didn't see the carriage, and he was also surprised, and replied with a blank face: "The slave told him to wait here." ”

The master and servant stood under the mountain gate, looking left and right, but there was still no carriage, and seeing that it was not too early, Lu Daixin was a little anxious.

Xie Zheng was still walking behind her, and when he saw the opportunity, he strode up to her and said with concern: "What's wrong with Mrs. Shen?" ”

Ludaisin pointed to the empty gate of the mountain where only two or three carriages were parked outside, and said embarrassedly: "When the time came, the coachman waited here for a while, but now the man is gone......

"I'm afraid I'll just slip away after taking the money," Xie Zheng said helpfully, and then asked, "Where does Mrs. Shen's family live?" ”

Lu Daixin was full of sorrow and said, "Baiyang Street in the west of the city." ”

"It's a coincidence, I also live in the west of the city, not far from Baiyang Street, why don't you go with Mrs. Shen."

Lu Dexin sneered: "Then how embarrassing ......"

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to go back," Xie Zheng said as he spoke, and then he went to the carriage hired by Lu Daixin with him, took a hand to help her in, and several people walked together and went to Baiyang Street together.

Jiming Temple is not far from Baiyang Street, it didn't take long to arrive, Lu Daixin got off the carriage, saw that the sky was still bright, and said to Xie Zheng: "If Xie Niangzi is not in a hurry to go back, it is better to go in with me to have a cup of tea and then leave." ”

"Since Mrs. Shen is warmly invited, then I might as well obey my fate with respect," Xie Zheng smiled and followed Lu Daixin to the mansion.

Several people went all the way to the guest hall, and Xie Zheng secretly looked at the layout of the front yard, which was not simple, but quite attentive.

Baiyang Street is located in the west of the city, quiet and not remote, by the mountains and rivers, the most is to support people, Jiankang can have a lot of businessmen to buy real estate here.

Xie Zheng bent the corners of his lips, it seems that Shen Wenhe really put a lot of thought into hiding Jiao for the sake of the golden house.

Lu Daixin walked to the living room with his stomach, immediately poured a cup of tea for Xie Zheng, handed it to Xie Zheng, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much today, otherwise, I don't know how to come back." ”

Xie Zheng took the teacup, drank it absent-mindedly, glanced at it on the left side, and looked at it on the right, but there was no trace of Shen Wenhe, she didn't dare to ask more, just put down the teacup, took Lu Daixin's words, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen is polite, I'm just stopping by, not to mention that you and I met in Jiming Temple today, I think we are quite fateful." ”

Lu Dai Xinguaner: "Xie Niangzi, you and I are really fateful." ”

The two sat in the living room, chatting again, until they had enough talking, Xie Zhengfang said goodbye to Lu Daixin on the grounds that it was getting late, but when she was leaving, she secretly tucked the brocade puff she was carrying under the stool, only revealing the corner.

Xie Zheng left on the front foot, and Shen Wenhe came back on the back foot, Lu Daixin welcomed him outside the guest hall and asked, "Why did Shen Lang come back so late today?" ”

Sanqi Province has been busy with all things recently, Shen Wenhe has dealt with official affairs, and he still needs to go back to the General's Mansion to deal with his parents, and then he can come here, Shen Wenhe was deeply tired, sighed softly, and only said: "I went to Jiangning in the morning, and running back and forth can make me tired." ”

Shen Wenhe said, crossed Lu Daixin, walked into the living room, carried a teapot in one hand and a teacup in the other, and was about to pour water, but saw two teacups on the coffee table. ”

I think he and Ludaisin live in this house, and the two of them "live in seclusion", but they regard this place as a secret place, and which guest will come here......

Whether this guest came to him Shen Wenhe or Lu Daixin, it was not a good thing.

Lu Daixin walked into the guest hall and said with a smile: "There is a lady who will thank you for coming, I met her in Jiming Temple, she once saved me, so I invited her in for a cup of tea." ”

"Will you thank the lady?" Shen Wenhe was worried in his heart, isn't it Xie Zheng? He hurriedly asked, "Has she ever told you about her name?" ”

Ludai thought for thought, "I haven't mentioned it before. ”

Seeing Shen Wenhe's uneasy look, Lu Daixin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Wenhe paused, immediately pretended to be calm, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

He turned his head sideways, and suddenly saw a piece of brocade under the cushion of the stool, so he bent down to pick it up, Lu Daixin saw this, and exclaimed: "Eh, this must have been left by Xie Niangzi, she didn't go far, Ah Huai, you go after her quickly." ”

"No need," Shen Wenhe looked at the brocade carefully, and had already guessed who Lu Daixin was talking about Hui Ji Xie Niang, so he said, "I'll go after her." ”

Xie Zheng left this Jinpa, wasn't he threatening him to find her......
