The spring rain in Taiping Mansion poured down all night, Li Xiaoqi lay lazily on the bed, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the banana leaves outside, these plantains outside the window, she just watched people move over two days ago, so as to respond to the sentence 'Who has nothing to do to plant plantains, early and late, also Xiaoxiao", as if she wants to live here for hundreds of years.

The curtain in front of the bed was gently lifted, and Danyue poked her head in, and saw that Li Xiaoqi had woken up, so she breathed a sigh of relief and reported with a smile: "Girl, in the long run, there is something urgent to report to the girl." Li Xiaoqi sat up with his upper body all of a sudden, turned over and got out of bed and ordered: "Let him wait for a while, I'll be fine!" "If you are so anxious to see her in the long run, there must be something urgent! Maybe there's a breakthrough somewhere! Li Xiaoqi rinsed his mouth anxiously, curled his hair in three or two times, changed his clothes and came out, his clothes were half wet, he bowed to him, and reported in a low voice: "Girl, yesterday the ugly was just over, Prime Minister Lin Cheng was wrapped in a black cloak, only brought a few guards, suddenly left the house, called to open the city gate and went out, staring at the spy report of the Lin Mansion and couldn't follow out of the city, I quickly asked Xi'an and Nanning to take a few people to follow out quickly, it was raining last night, Lin Chengxiang and his party walked slowly, Xi'an quickly re-attached, and followed until the foot of Baiyun Mountain, Lin Chengxiang entered a nunnery, the day is nearly bright, Lin Chengxiang only went back from the nunnery, Xi'an followed all the way back, Nanning stayed to inquire, the nunnery is called Guyu Nunnery, it is a small nunnery under Baiyun Mountain, the girl knows, in addition to Baiyun Temple and Baiyun Nunnery on Baiyun Mountain, there are many temples and nunnery scattered in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, this Guyu Nunnery is located in the back mountain, the surrounding scenery is very good, very secluded, there is almost no incense, there are fourteen nuns in the nunnery, presided over by a teacher named Huiqing. ”

"Who is Prime Minister Lin in such a hurry to see Gu Yu'an?" Li Xiaoqi blurted out and asked, and shook his head with a wry smile: "When I arrived at the nunnery, a few guards led by Lin Cheng were on guard, Xi'an didn't dare to act rashly, from beginning to end in the nunnery, there was not even a lamp lit, and in the morning, Nanning lay on the tree outside the nunnery and counted carefully, and the fourteen nuns all saw it, and they didn't see anything wrong." Li Xiaoqi took a breath, thought about it for a while, looked at the long term and asked, "How is Prime Minister Lin Cheng's expression?" Have you seen it? ”

"I asked carefully, when Prime Minister Lin Cheng went out of the house, the spy saw a glance and said that his expression seemed to be very solemn, and when Xi'an said that Prime Minister Lin Cheng looked sad." In the long run, Li Xiaoqi was stunned and came up with a god, what people, things, and things in that nunnery could make Prime Minister Lin Cheng call open the city gate in the middle of the night and brave the rain to go? The expression is solemn and sad, what is it, who is it?

"Tell me to go down, send the appropriate people, to check the origin of all the nuns in Gu Yu'an, •••••• everything that can be found, be quick, and then send someone to keep an eye on Gu Yu'an, well, Jiayi's side is not well manned, let's send someone to keep an eye on Gu Yu'an." Li Xiaoqi commanded, and agreed in a deep voice for a long time, and saw that Li Xiaoqi had no other instructions, so he withdrew.

Li Xiaoqi stood up happily, walked to the eaves of the porch, looked up at the dense raindrops, the newly moved plantains under the window were washed by the rain and were verdant, the newly planted loquat tree in a corner of the yard has given birth to new leaves, this is a ten-year-old loquat tree, it will bear fruit this year, and I don't know what the variety of this loquat tree is, if you are lucky•••••• Danyue took a thin silk cotton cloak, and draped it lightly on Li Xiaoqi's body, Li Xiaoqi grabbed the cloak, turned his head to look at the light moon and said with a smile: "This rain is so good, Look at the flowers and trees we moved, they are all alive. ”

"Look at the girl, it looks like we're going to live here for a long time." Danyue smiled and muttered in a low voice, Li Xiaoqi turned her head to look at her, and said seriously: "You can't say that, you have to live well to live, and you can't be sloppy for a day, think about it, that tree." Li Xiaoqi turned his head and nodded at the vigorous loquat tree: "It can grow for hundreds of years, if it has a spirit, wouldn't it say, look at you people, it's only a few decades in a hurry, and you still have to fight for this and that, why bother?" Danyue pursed her lips and smiled, pushed Li Xiaoqi into the house, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the girl today?" We live a good life every day! Yesterday Nanning looked for someone to buy palm leaves, Begonia rushed to wrap more than a dozen palms last night, covered all night, when the girl fell asleep, I and Begonia first tasted one, the taste is really good! The girl quickly washed up and tasted it! Li Xiaoqi nodded with salivation, today is a good thing, she has an intuition that that Gu Yu'an will definitely bring her good luck.

After breakfast, Li Xiaoqi simply took Danyue and Begonia to Caiyunfang, a master and two servants picked a whole morning, looked at all the new clothes in Caiyunfang, Li Xiaoqi ordered more than a dozen dresses, and ordered two or three dresses for Danyue and Begonia, Caiyunfang's mother-in-law was amazed, to Caiyunfang's non-rich or expensive, it is common to order more than a dozen dresses at a time, but to order clothes for the girl to Caiyunfang, I really haven't seen it, Danyue pulled Li Xiaoyi, and muttered softly, Li Xiaoqi looked at her and smiled and whispered: "It's okay, At most, we countrymen don't understand the rules, people are stupid and have a lot of money, and we can't suspect going anywhere else. Danyue and Haitang glanced at each other, no longer talked, and the three of them went to Jiangnanfang for lunch before going back leisurely.

Nanning has rushed back, is waiting for Li Xiaoqi to come back, followed all the way into the main courtyard, Begonia made tea, and Danyue retreated outside, doing needlework and looking around, Nanning bowed neatly and reported: "Girl, Gu Yu'an has almost checked over there, fourteen nuns in the nunnery, have seen and checked, the presiding Huiqing master is fifty-three this year, originally practiced in Tianning Nunnery, seventeen years ago from Tianning Nunnery to Baiyun Mountain, settled in Gu Yu'an, has been the host until now. ”

"Tianningan? Is it the same as Tianning Temple? Li Xiaoqi straightened up suddenly, and Nanning nodded hurriedly in response: "It's in one place." Li Xiaoqi exhaled softly, and almost screamed in surprise, that Zhijing monk was ordained and practiced in Tianning Temple! The extraordinary thing about this Gu Yu'an must be related to this Huiqing!

"You go on." Li Xiaoqi exhaled and signaled to Nanning with a smile, Nanning hurriedly continued: "The remaining thirteen nuns are all locals, eight of them have been ordained and practiced in Guyu'an since childhood, and the other four, two are You Fangni who has placed orders in Guyu'an, and two of them have practiced in Guyu'an before Master Huiqing came over. ”

"How old are the eight nuns who have been practicing in Guyu Nunnery since childhood?"

"Not yet thirty years old, twenty-seven or eighteen years old." Nanning thought for a while and replied,

"That is to say, they were all accepted by Master Huiqing to practice after they arrived at Guyu Nunnery?"

"Yes!" Nanning looked at Li Xiaoqi with understanding,

"Seventeen years ago, how many people were there in Gu Yu'an?" Li Xiaoqi asked, Nanning blinked his eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "It's my negligence, I'll go and inquire." ”

"Well, if I'm right, there should have been only three or five people in Gu Yu'an seventeen years ago." Li Xiaoqi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly, Nanning looked at Li Xiaoqi and didn't speak, Li Xiaoqi thought about it, looked at Nanning and said in a low voice: "The Lin family has a monk with excellent friendship, who is from Tianning Temple, I guess that Master Huiqing must have been invited by the Lin family seventeen years ago to come to Guyu Nunnery to preside over something!" Or someone to cover! There must be someone to cover, when there are only three or five people in the nunnery, it is not easy to cover the daily offerings, if there are thirteen or fourteen people, then two or three more people are enshrined, it is extremely difficult for people to find out. Nanning listened intently, nodded, and agreed in a low voice: "What the girl said is very reasonable. ”

"Well, two things, one, keep an eye on Master Huiqing, and second, see and remember the things that are sent to Guyu Nunnery every day, don't leave one behind, the people hidden in the nunnery must have had something happen recently, there must be movement." Li Xiaoqi bit his lip and ordered, Nanning simply agreed and withdrew to arrange.

It rained for a day and a night, and early the next morning, the morning glow bloomed out of the horizon, Li Xiaoqi got up early, changed into the most common light gray plain silk wide skirt, a silver and red silk jacket, put on a gray silk cloak, got into the car, and took Changchang, Nanning and others to Tianqing Guanxing in Yutai Mountain outside the city. Today is the day of the Laojun's birthday party, Yutai Mountain has been lively for four or five days, today's birthday party, I heard that the princess Song and the side concubine Yang are going to Tianqing to observe the practice, pray for the emperor and the people.

Li Xiaoqi's car out of the city, slowly and leisurely seven or eight miles of road, far away has been able to see the lush Yutai Mountain, Li Xiaoqi's car stopped at the entrance of a narrow valley, this narrow valley on one side is the Yutai Mountains extending from the mountains, on the other side of a huge lake and marsh, the lake and marsh are densely covered with vines, extending very far, is the only place to Yutai Mountain, Chang and Xi'an drove the car to the side of the road, unloaded a wheel, the two studied the wheels as if repairing the car, Li Xiaoqi sat in the car, looking at the direction of Taiping Mansion through the gap in the car curtain, this princess, godly and disrespectful, what time has it been, and she hasn't come here yet!

In the middle of the belly, the dust was high in the distance, Nanning hurriedly straightened up and knocked on the carriage board: "Girl, here." ”

"Well, I see it clearly."

"Rest assured, girl." Nanning looked around, gestured up vigilantly, squatted down and continued to repair the car for a long time.

Not long, the guards of the Great Prince's Mansion were dressed in angry horses, riding on the horses proudly, trotting all the way, and the two guards went to Li Xiaoyi's car for two laps, seeing Nanning and Changchang were covered with sweat and mud, complaining to each other and clumsy and laborious with wheels, they looked at each other and smiled, turned the horse's head and returned to the team to report that there was nothing wrong.
