Hearing Shi Dian's words, Jia Qiong couldn't help but nodded, thinking that this was Xing Xiuyan, so he took the lead and walked forward.

Xing Xiuyan looked at Jia Qiong and the others, as if they were coming towards their house.

He tilted his head and thought about it, gestured to them, and then turned to his mother inside and shouted, "Mother, do we have any guests here today?" ”

"What guest?" When the mother heard her daughter's voice, she dropped her broom and walked out.

Seeing the two strangers who had arrived at the door, he hurriedly protected his daughter behind him and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Looking at Zhang's obviously vigilant appearance, Jia Qiong couldn't help nodding in his heart, but he was vigilant, thinking that it was because of this that Lin Ruhai let his family of three be here, he asked Shi Dian to come here a few days ago.

In contrast, this Xing Xiuyan is much more normal.

"Dare to ask if this is Xing Zhong's family?"

Jia Qiong asked with her hand arched at Zhang.

"Who are you?"

Although Jia Qiong already knew that this was Xing Zhong's house, he still had to confirm it again, and after thinking about it for a while, Fang said:

"The younger Jia Qiong, a member of the Jia family in Shenjing, uncle Lin Ruhai asked the little nephew to come to find Uncle Xing."

Zhang glanced at Jia Qiong carefully, frowned slightly, and asked after a while:

"The lord asked you to come? How could the lord let outsiders come. Your surname is Jia, or are you from Shenjing? I wonder how my sister-in-law is now? ”

When Jia Qiong heard this, she knew that she was testing herself, and then said: "Auntie is now the wife of Uncle Yu, I studied at Uncle Lin for a year before, and I am both a relative and a disciple, so you can call me Brother Qiong, Auntie." ”

Hearing this, Zhang relaxed and welcomed the two into the small courtyard. said with a smile on his face:

"Brother Joan, don't be annoyed. My man is not at home, you can rest here for a while, and then have a sip of tea. By the way, give me the letter from the master. ”

When Jia Qiong heard this, she couldn't help but smile in her heart, this Zhang family was still tempting, and she originally wanted to wait until Xing Zhong came back. Then he said:

"Don't blame Auntie, my uncle said that you and Uncle Xing were illiterate, so he didn't give me a letter, but just asked me to bring half a gold ingot. I thought I'd wait for Uncle Xing to come back. ”

Hearing Jia Qiong speak, this Zhang couldn't help but nodded, and after listening to the second half of the sentence, his face turned cold, and he immediately said:

"Don't mention this unconscionable thing, the master tattoos two hundred taels of silver for us every year, so that we don't lack food and clothing, and protect the young lady here with peace of mind, but he took it and blocked it.

In the past, the old man was in person, so he didn't use the gold ingot to the pattern, and after a long time, he got a bear's heart and a leopard's gall, and the half of the gold ingot was also melted and gambled. ”

Jia Qiong was stunned when she heard this, is this Xing Zhong so superb.

But it doesn't hurt if you don't have a seal, you just want to know something from them, as long as you see Miaoyu in the temple.

After being stunned for a while, Jia Qiong laughed awkwardly, looked at the girl who poked her head out, and said with a smile: "This is Cousin Xiuyan, right?" ”

Seeing that Jia Qiong even knew her daughter's name, Zhang's heart was also happy, and then nodded with a smile and said:

"The master asked her to accompany Miss to relieve her boredom, and Miss also taught Xiuyan a lot of knowledge."

When Zhang saw Jia Qiong talking about Xiuyan, he couldn't help but think of his sister-in-law, and asked with a little envy:

"By the way, after so many years, how is the eldest sister doing now?"

Looking at Zhang's face, with envy on his face, Jia Qiong also knew the reason, thought about it and said:

"I'm a foreign man from Jiafu, and I've only seen my aunt a few times, but my aunt has always been blessed with longevity and health, which is very good."

"Well, she's such a blessed person."

Zhang was suddenly embarrassed, looked left and right, and said very embarrassedly: "Our family is poor, you see, this distinguished guest has come to the door, and we have nothing to entertain, this ......"

Hearing this, Jia Qiong looked into the courtyard, although the courtyard was really not big, and there were no two rooms, but it was very neat and clean.

"My aunt laughed, I am not the main branch of the two mansions, and I am also from a poor background, how can I dislike it."

Listening to Jia Qiong's words, Zhang's eyes narrowed.

Because of Jia Min's new funeral, Jia Qiong did not wear gorgeous clothes, but it was just his ordinary plain clothes, and when he wore it, that kind of bearing could not be concealed at all.

Even more at the same time, Jia Qiong's skin is fair, her appearance is handsome, her words and deeds are gentle and elegant, she must be from a big family, and her words are just to comfort herself.

After chatting a few more words, Fang said: "Brother Qiong, the master must have asked you to come here because you have something to ask, my man is a bastard, you can ask me about the young lady." ”

Seeing this Zhang family's words, Jia Qiong thought about it for a while, and asked, "Has anyone come to inquire about Sister Miaoyu in the past two years?" ”

When Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but think about it carefully, then shook his head and said:

"But no one has asked, in the past two years, my man is not at home, only me and my little girl are at home, if anyone inquires, they should come to ask me directly."

When Jia Qiong heard this, she couldn't help but nodded, thinking that last time that person just came to Lin Ruhai's hometown to inquire about things, and didn't know about Miaoyu, maybe she and Lin Ruhai thought about it a lot, and then went to the temple to ask Miaoyu's master.

Thinking of this, he didn't ask any more questions, and looked at Xiuyan.

Seeing this, Zhang also understood, so he personally took the bowl, poured tea with Jia Qiong, and saw that his daughter was still standing on the side, and hurriedly said:

"What are you doing standing stupidly, haven't you come to see your cousin?"

Xing Xiuyan had already put down the book, and when she heard the conversation between Jia Qiong and her mother, she seemed to understand something.

Hearing his mother's words again, he stepped forward to greet Jia Qiong very formally.

Although he was born poor, Xing Xiuyan's etiquette has a bit of everyone's demeanor, even if the people of the big family see it, it is estimated that they can't find anything wrong.

Jia Qiong also took a cursory look at Xing Xiuyan.

The teenage girl, although she is a hairpin skirt cloth, her body is clean, and her golden eyes seem to be light, which looks very cute.

Especially from top to bottom, there is a kind of dusty and elegant temperament faintly reflected, and only a trace of it has been seen in Qin Keqing.

It is no wonder that in the future, he will be able to make poems such as "It seems that it is not an ordinary color, and it is thick in the ice and snow".

It is conceivable that when she grows up in the future, she must also be a superb beauty with both elegance and talent.

"Come, please sit down and have tea......"

Zhang pulled out the bench next to the table, wiped it with his sleeve, and invited Jia Qiong to sit down again.

I casually talked to Zhang's family for a few words, thinking that I would go to Miaoyu for a trip, and I would stay longer.

took out the twenty taels of silver wrapped in silk in advance, and then said apologetically:

"This trip is in a hurry, and it is rude to come to the door without a gift, this is a few taels of silver, just buy two clothes for Sister Xiuyan, it can be regarded as a little bit of my heart."

"How does this make ......"

Zhang's hurriedly refused, the family's silver was taken by her husband to gamble, and she might take it away again, and she didn't want to take it, but she felt a little pity for her daughter, and there was some entanglement in the refusal.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong also understood, so she bent down and took Xiuyan's hand and put the silver in her hand.

"This, alas...... Xiuyan, don't thank you cousin, you girl......"

Seeing that Jia Qiong was serious about giving, Zhang didn't resist the temptation in his heart after all, but based on the politeness of the courtesy, he asked Xiuyan to thank him, and at the same time blamed Xiuyan for not answering.

Jia Qiong wanted to see Xiuyan in advance, and secondly, she wanted to know if anyone had inquired about Miaoyu, and now that the goal had been achieved, she got up and said goodbye.

"Auntie, the junior will go to see Sister Miaoyu first, and then leave first."

Seeing this, Zhang hurriedly stopped: "Brother Qiong, you take Xiuyan with you, otherwise you won't be able to see Miss." ”

As he spoke, he said to Xiuyan, "You take your cousin to meet you, Master Huijing, and then go to your sister Miaoyu." ”

Hearing what the Zhang family said, Jia Qiong was also stunned, Lin Ruhai had prepared so many means, no wonder he let himself come to find Xing Zhong first.

Sure enough, following Xiuyan to the outside of Panxiang Temple, after Jia Qiong knocked on the door, the person who opened the door saw that it was two men and immediately closed the door.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong hurriedly got out of the way and shouted:

"Mrs. Shi, wait a minute, Uncle Lin asked me to come, and I brought Xiuyan here."

Then the door opened again, and when Jia Qiong saw it, she wondered in her heart, nun, Taoist priest. Wearing nun clothes, but with long hair and hair, let's count it as a practicing nun.

The nun glanced at Xiuyan on the side, and then asked:

"Since it was brought by Xiuyan, who do you want to visit?"

Listening to the nun's questioning, Jia Qiong couldn't help but think of what Fang Cai Zhang said, so she said, "I'm here to find Master Huijing." ”

Hearing Jia Qiong's answer, the nun Fang let go of her body, let the three of them in, and led the three of them all the way to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

I saw a female nun who was a little older than a year, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha.

The young nun looked at the slightly older nun and said, "Host, Lord Lin sent someone to see you and brought Xiuyanyi here." ”

When the eldest nun heard this, she couldn't help but pause, stopped reading, turned around and glanced at a few people, and then said to the young nun, "Go ahead." ”

Seeing the figure of the nun leaving, she immediately asked Jia Qiong: "He asked the two of you to come, and the other one stayed outside with Xiuyan." ”

Jia Qiong looked at the host in amazement, and couldn't help but look at Shi Dian, who immediately left the Daxiong Treasure Hall and stood outside.

Xiuyan looked at the host curiously, feeling that today's events were so strange, why were they different from the past, and her mother was also very strange, saying something she didn't understand.

didn't have time to think about it, and then left the treasure hall and came to Shi Dian's side.

After seeing that several people had left, the host pointed to another futon beside him and motioned for Jia Qiong to sit down.

Seeing this, Jia Qiong also sat cross-legged on the futon with the host, and just after sitting down, she heard the host say:

"Lord Lin, what did you do here?"

Listening to the host's inquiry, Jia Qiong said without thinking:

"Uncle asked me to talk to Shi Taiyan, someone may be unfavorable to Sister Miaoyu, I want to ask Sister Miaoyu how she is practicing and if she can leave. Also, let me see Sister Miaoyu again. ”

When the host heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he thought that it was Lin Ruhai's family matter, so he didn't say much, but just looked Jia Qiong up and down. 方 says:

"Miaoyu's cultivation is still four years away, and I can't leave, so I'll take her away in the future."

After speaking, he thought about it and said, "You came this time simply to see me and Miaoyu, is there anything else?" ”

Listening to the words, Jia Qiong couldn't help but be a little stunned, and after thinking about it, he said:

"My aunt died, and I accompanied Sister Daiyu to Suzhou to bury her, and is it convenient for Sister Daiyu to come and meet her sister."

When the host heard this, his brows furrowed even more, and he muttered, "Is Jia Min also dead?" I can't get over this hurdle any longer. ”

After thinking about it, Fang looked at Jia Qiong and said: "You and Xiuyan go to meet Miaoyu, you don't need to bring Jia Min's daughter over, you won't use it in the future, when Miaoyu's cultivation is complete, I will take her to Shenjing." ”

When Jia Qiong heard this, her heart couldn't help but move, what was she bringing to Shenjing for? What kind of purpose is there, or is it to go to Jia's house.

This host obviously knows something, and when he asked Ding Zhong in the past, Ding Zhong was unwilling to say, and he couldn't force it.

asked Jia Jing and Lin Ruhai, and they all said that they would slowly talk to him in the future, but Jia Qiong wanted to know now.

After thinking about one or two, he connected his thoughts one or two, and then looked at the host and said:

"Master, when I was three years old, my father and many uncles in the clan died, I asked Uncle Jia Jing and Uncle Lin, and they all said that they would tell me something when I was lifted, and now I have been lifted.

Last time, because of my aunt's death, Uncle Lin and I were busy forgetting about it, and now I see that my master seems to know about it, I don't know if I can talk to me about it, and when I ask Uncle Lin and Uncle Jing in the future, I can also be a little prepared in my heart. ”

Seeing Jia Qiong say this, the host couldn't help but look at Jia Qiongfang again and asked, "What is your surname, how old is this year, and who is your father." ”

Seeing that the host seemed to be interested, Jia Qiong couldn't help suppressing the excitement in her heart, and said in a straight voice:

"Boy Jia Qiong, twelve this year, and his father Jia You, died a few years ago."

When the host heard this, Tong Kong couldn't help but zoom in, looked at Jia Qiong in surprise, and lost his voice:

"You're Jia You's son?"

Seeing that the host was a little out of shape, Jia Qiong didn't know what to say, so she could only wait for her to come to her senses. Liang Jiufang listened to what he said:

"I was rescued by your second uncle, if he hadn't died, I would have been your aunt? I hugged you before. I never thought you were so big. ”

YY

Hearing this, Jia Qiong felt as if a drop of cold sweat was flowing down her forehead. Second uncle, teacher.

。

Seeing Jia Qiong's reaction, the host laughed instead, and then said:

"I was originally the daughter of the head of the Suzhou Shensuan Sect, our sect is proficient in the method of helping the beggar, that day I was ordered to go to Shenjing with the senior brother of the door to do business, something went wrong, I was saved by your second uncle, and I liked your second uncle by mistake.

My father did not agree to my marriage with your second uncle, so I refused to marry, and then my father couldn't resist me and finally agreed.

As a result, your second uncle has passed away, and our divine arithmetic door has also been destroyed, so I left home.

Don't believe it, we say it's a temple, but there are no Buddha statues in the temple, no gods. All female disciples are cultivators, and they can all go out to marry in the future, even Miaoyu. ”

After speaking, he saw that Jia Qiong was getting closer, and after thinking about it, he said:

"I don't know the specific situation, only Jia Jing can know everything, we are just acting according to the plan.

Even he may not know everything, this is a chess game, every Wenchen, every noble, and many Jianghu sects are involved, and there are even Mongolians, Koreans, Japanese Kou, and White Lotus Sects.

These people are all chess players, and they are all chess pieces in the game, calculating and calculating each other, and no one may know the whole thing.

Even the Son of Heaven, who ascended the throne at the age of eight, didn't know all the details, and now that he was the emperor, it was impossible to investigate the whole truth of the matter one by one.

At the beginning, the nine sons seized the heirs, and the military admonished the martial arts, and the emperor compromised helplessly, but he still had some resentment in his heart, and wanted to abolish some families, and the original losers also blamed each other.

You don't know about the government, not only have Wenchen been replaced a lot, even Wuxun has also died a lot, and the Jianghu sect has also suffered heavy casualties.

Our sect is not only proficient in divination calculus, but also a descendant of the Guiguzi Zongheng faction, including Jia Jing, who is also a member of our sect.

That's why I know this, you don't have to worry too much about these things, you just need to set up a household for your own family. ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiong seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and after thinking about it, she asked:

"What is the reason for the death of Uncle Zheng's son Jia Zhu and Uncle Lin's son early death?"

The host was stunned when he heard this, frowned for a long time, and said:

"Jia Zhu and Lord Lin's son also went? But don't be too careful, as Fang just said, there are many possibilities for their murderer.

You can say that it was killed by the person who directly attacked it, or you can say that it was killed by the person behind the person who did it, and it is more likely that the person behind it was still killed by someone else's calculation and gave such an order.

What you want is to take advantage of the situation to keep climbing to the peak of power, instead of dwelling on the life and death of these people.

Before you leave, I will give you the experience of my sect for so many years, and you will refer to it in the future.

Okay, I won't tell you anymore, you can go meet Miaoyu now. ”

Seeing that the host was driving people away, Jia Qiong couldn't do it, so she bowed and bowed, and then went to the backyard of the temple with Xiuyan. Shi Dian waited alone in the front yard.

When she came to the backyard, Jia Qiong was a little surprised, where is this a temple, like the garden of a large family.

Pavilions, mountains, rocks and trees, everything. Even the stone road in the middle is paved with one-color white stone slabs, and if you look closely, you can see that there are patterns engraved on it.

Suddenly, the sound of birds and birds came into her ears, and Xiuyan said with a smile: "Sister Miaoyu is stroking the piano in the pavilion." ”

Immediately took Jia Qiong to find the sound and left, turned a few rockeries, passed by a few bushes of green bamboo, there was a small pavilion surrounded by trees, the stream next to the pavilion was murmuring, and the swimming fish were happy.

I saw a young woman sitting alone in the secluded fence, leisurely stroking the piano alone.

It's just that the clothes on the body are not Buddhism or Taoism, just like a hundred clothes made of patches.

The two came to the pavilion, looked closely, and saw that his posture was beautiful and his temperament was dusty. The scarf half covered on the head could not stop the green silk from following the wind.

Hearing the movement behind her, Miaoyu knew that someone was coming, and after playing a song, she turned around.

I saw not only Xiuyan here, but also a young man, dressed in plain clothes, with a tall posture and extraordinary handsomeness.

couldn't help frowning slightly, knowing that Xiuyan was not ignorant of the severity, and there was a temple in front of him, so he would not innocently let people in.

Thinking about this, Fang said, "Who are you and why are you here?" ”

Seeing this, Jia Qiong remembered the original saying between insiders and outsiders, so she smiled at Miaoyu, and then said:

"Jia Qiong, an outsider, on the order of Uncle Lin, came to meet Cousin Miaoyu."
