Fu Zhangzhu was resting in the car, and the spring night was cold, and she couldn't help but pull the blanket on her body.

Unable to find a place to stay, they once again camped out in the countryside. The bonfire outside was still burning, and Liao Kai and Yan Sheng were sitting around the fire.

"The capital is not big, is it fun?" Runsheng heard that Liao Kai had followed his second son in the capital for a few years, and he couldn't help but be very envious.

Liao Kai said: "Of course it's big, it's the ancient capital of several dynasties, and Shoufeng is less than half its size." There are many good scenery in Beijing, and there are many heavy buildings and palaces. You can have a good look when you go. In the early years, he followed the second master as a companion in the East Palace, and he also stayed in the palace for a while. ”

"The Palace? Will the emperor be majestic? ”

Liao Kai smiled: "Of course it is majestic, but ordinary people can't see him, don't you want to see the emperor?" ”

Runsheng said, "I don't dare to see any green onion." But listening to Liao Ye said it was very interesting, and he thought he had experienced it himself. ”

Zhangzhu listened to the conversation between the two but did not fall asleep, according to the current process, it will be possible to reach the goal in another ten days. At this time, the peach blossoms in the capital have withered, the willows are shady, the swallows are murmuring, and the Qinhuai River is rising. She wanted to go back to Dagongfang again to see the old home, but she knew in her heart that she was afraid that the old home had already called another name, and the magnolia in the Baoxiang Pavilion must have grown a lot taller.

On March 20, the three of them officially entered the capital.

I thought that she would never have the strength to step here again in this life, but she still persevered all the way. returned to her dream home, although she has changed her new identity and face, but her heart is still the daughter of the Xie family.

Liao Kai asked Zhangzhu outside the car: "Miss Fu, where do we go first?" ”

Zhangzhu replied: "Go to the Lotus Temple, just at the end of Qingyunfang." ”

The presiding officer of the Lotus Temple is an old friend of her mother, and it should not be a big problem for her to go to the temple, but the Lotus Temple is a nunnery, and I am afraid that there will be something wrong with bringing two men over. But she went back to the capital, and she had to meet Mrs. Guolin.

So the group went to the Lotus Temple, Liao Kai stayed in the capital for a few years, and was familiar with the terrain in the capital, so he didn't need to inquire at all, and it didn't take much effort to find Qingyunfang, which is a long neighborhood, and at the end of the day, he saw an inconspicuous small temple.

After arriving at the ground, Zhangzhu got out of the car. She looked up, the plaque of the temple was a little slanted, the door was open, but few people entered or exited, and it was still the same as the door. Lotus Temple has never been a big temple, and it is not bad with Jingci Nunnery.

She and Liao Kai Yansheng said, "You two wait for me at the door first, and I'll go in and take a look myself." ”

Runsheng and the others agreed, and when the palm beads went in, he smiled and said to Liao Kai: "Miss Fu likes to worship the Bodhisattva." ”

She had followed her mother to the Lotus Temple several times before, and she remembered that there was also an ancient well in the temple, which was said to be hundreds of years old, and there was an ancient ginkgo tree next to the well.

After she went to worship the Bodhisattva, she came to the apse, and the courtyard connected from the front hall to the apse was indeed planted with ginkgo trees, with green leaves, still standing majestically there to bathe in the wind and rain. Zhangzhu saw a young master with a bucket to come over to fetch water, and Zhangzhu stepped forward and took the initiative to say, "I'll help you." ”

The palm bead lifted the wooden barrel, tied the rope and put the wooden barrel into the well, full of a bucket of water, and then worried that the little master would not have the strength to lift it, she poured some more water, only half of the bucket was filled, and quickly lifted it up. The little master saluted and thanked the palm beads with both hands.

Zhangzhu took the opportunity to ask: "Can I meet your fruit forest master?" ”

The little master said: "Donor, you are late, Master Guolin and last year's winter moon have passed away." ”

"What about the death?" Zhangzhu was a little stunned.

"Yes, she walked peacefully."

Zhangzhu couldn't accept this result for a while, she wanted to see her mother's old friend back then, but she didn't think about it, but it was in vain. She hugged herself when she was young, and the teacher who often talked to her mother was gone. She was depressed in her heart, and she couldn't see the person she wanted to see, so she had to leave in a huff.

Runsheng and Liao Kai have been guarding the door, and when they saw that the palm beads came out in a short time, Runsheng hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Fu, where are we going now?" ”

"I don't know." She sullenly got into the car.

Runsheng and Liao Kai looked at each other, and Liao Kai said to Runsheng: "Let's let me drive, I'm familiar with this place." ”

Zhangzhu was still feeling sad about the death of Master Guolin, and the car had already stopped, so she lifted the curtain and looked out, but the surroundings were very unfamiliar. Seeing this, Runsheng stepped forward and hurriedly explained to Zhangzhu: "Liao Ye is communicating with this family, and Liao Ye said that we will settle here first. The girl will slowly consider what she has to do. ”

This is the He family mentioned by Chu Yuanzhen? She didn't know if it was appropriate for her to bother here, but it didn't matter if she wanted to stay for a few nights, and she had to think of other ways out if she wanted to put down roots here.

Zhangzhu had already gotten out of the car, and the door was wide open to invite them in.

Zhangzhu followed behind Liao Kai, and a family member was leading them to meet the family.

He Mansion is a three-entry mansion and a large family. The house is neat, and the windows are bright and clean. It's only been a few months since the New Year, and the red lanterns are hanging under the porch, and the colors of the couplets are still very bright.

After passing through the hall, turn right corner and enter a courtyard, there is a lilac tree in the courtyard, the fragrance wafts all over the yard, there is a girl with a double beard under the tree is playing on the swing, but seeing a foreigner coming, busy coming down from the swing, his eyes can't help but look at the visitor, and then he saw the palm bead a little curious, and couldn't help but look at it twice.

The maid under the porch bowed inward, and another little girl lifted the curtain and invited them in.

Runsheng was only waiting outside, and Zhangzhu and Liao Kai entered.

And in the room sat two women, both in their thirties and forties, and one of them had a long face, and was born white. The other was born extremely rich, with a blessed face.

Zhangzhu was a little surprised in his heart, and secretly said that the woman who was born rich seemed to have seen it before, but when it came to the end, he couldn't remember where he had seen this person.

These two wives don't look alike, but the clothes and jewelry are about the same, and it is expected that they should be two concubines.

Liao Kai hurriedly saluted with the two wives, and the one with a long face smiled and asked, "Is your second master okay?" ”

"Mrs. Lao cares, and the second master is very good."

Mrs. He couldn't stop looking at the young girl, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard the magpie cry in the morning, and sure enough, there was a guest coming." ”

Liao Kai explained the intention, and the two wives of the He family said: "Our He family is the most hospitable, and Miss Fu is welcome to come to our house as a guest." ”
