Chapter 141: Wait for the Rabbits

Settled in the Taoist temple and recorded the Taoist number in the book, which took Chen Rong a whole day.

Originally, Chen Rong thought that this day would be very lively, but for some reason, until everything settled, there was not a single guest in the entire Xishan Taoist Temple.

The sun is setting.

Chen Rong stood in the middle of the mountainside, looking down at the mountains below, and for some reason, she actually had a sense of trance.

is obviously a Taoist aunt named by the emperor, but there is no one to come to this huge Taoist temple. Listening to it, it was still the voices of her servants that came into her ears.

It seems that this monastic monk is just a change of residence.

Chen Rong pondered for a while, and then smiled dumbly: Isn't this very good? Anyway, I just want some peace.

Thinking of this, she turned back.

The Xishan Taoist Temple is very large, there are many houses, not to mention there are one hundred and fifty or sixty rooms, Chen Rong chose and chose the safest courtyard on the east side to live in.

This time when she returned to Jiankang, she only brought ten servants, and the residence she had just bought was guarded by two servants, and now there were only eight people with her. Eight servants plus her, there are only nine, nine people live in this Taoist temple that can accommodate one hundred and fifty or sixty people, listening to the birds and insects, the sun has just sunk the horizon, and the sound of tigers roaring from the mountains and forests behind them is really lonely.

This night, Chen Rong spent the night in the howl of the ape and the wolf.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

In the past half a month, the Xishan Taoist Temple seems to have become a deserted place, and no outsiders have set foot on it. Sometimes the rustle of fallen leaves was heard, and when the servants turned their eyes, they were often facing a pair of dark green wolf eyes, and every now and then, there was a burst of screams and the sound of hastily closing the 'door'.

Moreover, until now, the thousand acres of fertile land belonging to the Xishan Taoist Temple, I don't know if His Majesty forgot it or what, no one has mentioned it, and no one has sent the deed or anything to Chen Rong.

It was as if she and her servants had been completely cut off from the red dust by a force.

'Spring' is getting deeper.

On the branches of the trees around, the shallow buds gradually bloomed, and a little bit of light green and new green smeared in the heavens and the earth, in the mountains and forests.

After breakfast, Chen Rong walked out slowly.

Walking to the bluestone steps in front of the Taoist temple, Chen Rong looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched his waist.

"'Girl' Lang." She is really used to it, and now, she still calls Chen Rong a 'girl'. Chen Rong 'handed over' a few times, and Ping Fei responded at that time, and forgot it in a blink of an eye, helpless, when there was no one, Chen Rong was called by her like this.

Ping Yu screamed and ran quickly, she came behind Chen Rong, saw her with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but say: "'Girl', the grain, cloth, firewood, rice, oil and salt in the view are all insufficient. ”

After a pause, she said softly: "The jewelry and wealth we have in hand were all rewarded when we watched the ceremony that day. Now, do you have to quietly take out some more pocket money? ”

Chen Rong was stunned and turned back to look at Pingyu.

Pingyu frowned and muttered, "The slave didn't expect that the Taoist temple would be clean like this, but there was nothing." 'Girl', if you hadn't hidden your hand when you came, we would have a problem with food and clothing now. ”

Hearing this, Chen Rong also frowned.

After a while, she asked softly, "Why, have you found the memorabilia in the Taoist temple?" ”

Ping Yu nodded again and again, and said, "Found it." ”

"Let's go, let's see."

"Yes."

This time, I saw noon. Ping Yu looked at Chen Rong, who threw these old and tattered silk slips aside, and asked repeatedly: "'Girl', what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?"

Chen Rong smiled slowly and said lightly: "Someone has moved。。。。。。 Actually gave me an empty shell. ”

Pingyu blinked, but smiled, "What's the matter?" We can still support ourselves anyway. ”

Chen Rong looked back.

She stared at Shangping Yu for a long time, and then Pingyu asked uneasily: "'Girl' Lang?" You, what do you want me to do? ”

Chen Rong blinked, retracted his thoughts, and said softly: "I'm thinking, should I care about this kind of thing." In her opinion, she really didn't want to worry about that. However, this Xishan Taoist Temple is also famous in Jiankang. Not to mention anything else, just receiving the royal family and nobles every year, and offering incense to Dao Ancestors every year, etc., is a huge expense. Without thousands of acres of fertile land to lay a foundation, she has to pay for this kind of expenses, and she can't bear it.

。。。。。。 She always thought that becoming a monk and a Taoist aunt was just a quiet place to live, and as for these mundane things, as she knew, there would be someone to take care of them. Only now do I realize that things in the world are never so simple.

Thinking of this, Chen Rong smiled bitterly and muttered: "Let's think about it this time, it's really not good, so I will ask Your Majesty to go home and cultivate." ”

Speaking of this, she called out in a clear voice: "Shang Suo." ”

Shang Su trotted over and answered, "'Girl'? ”

Chen Rong lowered his eyes and said softly: "I'll write an excerpt, stay for you and go to the palace to see Your Majesty。。。。。。 As soon as she said this, the corners of her mouth raised, and she smiled slowly: "How am I confused, what's the use of doing all this useless work?" ”

Talking to herself, she turned to Shang Suo, raised her voice, and said seriously: "Suo, you will go back to the house with Pingyu in a while, take out five boxes of jewels while no one is paying attention, and then exchange all these five boxes of jewels for firewood, grain, oil, clothes and other daily necessities, remember, in exchange for enough for us to use for half a year and a year." ”

Chen Rong's smile slowly became brighter, and she said softly: "After the change, you can be more vocal and visit two more streets." Well, tonight, you will lead everyone to choose a few big trees on the main roads that come to the Taoist temple, cut off all the bark, and engrave a few words. Well, it is engraved: retreat, refuse earthly guests. Then, close all the contemplation gates of the main paths. ”

She turned around, flicked her wide sleeves, twisted her thin waist, turned back, and her voice was far away and gentle, "I want to see if those people can sit still."

Pingyu and Shang Su glanced at each other, and after a long time, Shang Su asked, "What does 'girl' mean by this?" ”

Pingyu shook her head.

After Shang Su received the order, he immediately left in a hurry with Pingyu.

When they returned, it was dark. The ten people were busy for two or three days before they left words on the big trees in the main roads as Chen Rong requested.

Day 4.

On this day, the 'bright' sun is shining, in the mountains and forests, on the slopes, that little bit of light green, has become a line, one by one.

Chen Rong led the servants to the Taoist temple, and she first pretended to pray to the Sanqing patriarch. Then she turned to the servants and said in a loud voice, "Remember, when the hour comes, close all the gates." This time, you will also go on retreat with me. ”

All the servants shouted in unison, "Yes." ”

In this mountain forest, the echo was very loud, and this response, all of a sudden, in all directions, were their shouts.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, an extremely arrogant shout sounded, "Slow"

Chen Rong and the others were stunned, and turned their heads to look at the same time.

I saw that on the main stone steps leading to the Taoist temple, ten tall guards turned out.

The guards strode out, stood on both sides of the stone steps, and shouted loudly, "The Ninth Princess has arrived—"

The Nine Princesses arrived?

Chen Rong slowly frowned.

Suddenly, her heart jumped, and a sentence popped out of her memory, "The last time the Ninth Princess came to the mansion, Qilang placed her, and she was not as cautious as she was with the 'girl'. ”’

Slowly, Chen Rong smiled.

She led the servants down a few steps, raised her hand to the guards, and said in a clear voice, "Hongyunzi welcomes the ninth princess." ”

A drum beat was heard.

In the blink of an eye, a palace beauty, surrounded by more than a dozen palace maids and guards, walked slowly. Behind them were twenty kabuki, who were either holding drums or flutes.

Rao was so far away, and the beauty also held her head straight and looked towards Chen Rong.

Chen Rong lowered his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, as if he was looking back at her, and he didn't seem to have looked at her detached.

In the blink of an eye, the palace beauty had already walked to a place only ten steps away from Chen Rong.

After she stood still, she stared straight at Chen Rong, and for a long time, the ninth princess blessed Chen Rong, "I've seen Hongyunzi Immortal Gu." ”

After the elegant and bookish Ninth Princess said this, she smiled lightly and covered her mouth with her sleeves, "I have heard the name of the fairy girl for a long time, and I can see it today, I know that the fairy girl is really a rare beauty in the world, and she is the favorite concubine of my father, and I am afraid that it is not as moving as the fairy girl." ”

She has an elegant voice and a lovely smile, but the meaning of her praise for the beauty of a monk's life is intriguing.

Chen Rong just pretended not to know, she smiled, and was about to return the salute, when there was another burst of drum music on the mountain road in front of her.

This drum music is really much louder than the Ninth Princess just now. Listening to that frame, it seems that hundreds of musicians are playing at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, a huge team appeared in front of Chen Rong's eyes.

In front of the team, there was a car with eight shoulders, eight delicate-looking teenagers, carrying a beautiful boy with fair skin, beautiful facial features, and charming eyes like autumn water. Come on

If you look closer, the young man has beautiful facial features, but his face is so white, it is clearly caused by applying powder.

Behind them were a vast contingent of maidservants and escorts, and behind them were fifty or sixty kabuki playing with all their might.

Far away from the distance, the beautiful young man raised his eyes, and he saw the ninth princess at a glance. At that moment, his white fingers gently rubbed the strands of hair hanging down in front of his 'chest', and laughed sharply: "The ninth sister is also here?" Yo? Is this beauty in a robe a Hongyunzi fairy girl? ”

As he spoke, he looked left and right at Chen Rong, his eyes were frivolous, and he sighed, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful." Such a beauty, no matter which husband gets it, will be regarded as a treasure, and it is a pity to be a 'female' crown. ”

Hearing such a joke, Chen Rong's smile was slightly cold, and in the eyes of the ninth princess, her eyebrows narrowed slightly, and she did not respond.

However, at such a time, I could only hear the sound of drums in the mountains and forests on the east side.

Someone else came

At this moment, whether it was the ninth princess or the beautiful boy, they were all stunned, and everyone looked in that direction at the same time as Chen Rong.

Behind Chen Rong, a servant muttered, "What's wrong today, the nobles are coming one after another, and they are all playing drums." Really, I don't look at what kind of place this is, so noisy. ”
