Chapter 167: See the General's Wife
He pushed the cart to a quiet place, and it seemed that he had received the cold silver, and was going to know everything.
"I heard that there were only three sons in the general's mansion, and then they found a daughter and came back, and the family loved this little *** who came back, and wanted to pick all the moons in the sky."
"There are people in the general's mansion, don't you go out to look for them?"
Leng Wan's eyes rolled, and she asked knowingly.
"Looking for it, it's just that the sky is wide, where can I find someone? The general's wife also went to the temple on the mountain to pray for her blessing when she was young, because she lost her daughter, and she has not returned home for so many years."
The vegetable seller painted as if he were talking in a book.
"Still in the temple?"
Leng Wan's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly asked.
"I heard that I haven't come back, and I've sent food to the General's Mansion for many years, but I really haven't seen the General's wife."
Touching his beard, which didn't exist at all, the greengrocer thought about it earnestly.
The General's Mansion is heavily guarded and can't get in, and even if you do, there is still Jiang Yuerong's roadblock.
Instead of sticking into the wolf, it's better to think differently.
Leng Wan thought about it like this, and immediately decided to meet the general's wife.
"Ahem, the general's wife is expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see each other. It is rumored that there is a Reiko Temple on Mt. Jiming on the outskirts of Kyoto, but where is she?"
Pretending to cough twice, Leng Wan came to throw bricks and stones.
"Oh, old woman, you're right! The general's wife prayed at Lingguang Temple, and it is said that she never came down from that mountain."
Seeing that Leng Wan guessed correctly, the vegetable seller couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
The information that should be inquired about was almost done, and Leng Wan bowed his hand to the vegetable seller.
"Thank you, little brother."
"No thanks, no thanks."
It was so easy to earn a few taels of silver, and the vegetable seller smiled.
Returning home from the General's Mansion, Leng Wan went into the kitchen non-stop.
Since I was going to see the general's wife, it didn't seem like a word of empty words.
If you really see each other, you can also get closer to you with something in your hand.
After all, Leng Wan is used to surgery, and her hands are extremely dexterous.
Even if it's just a few pieces of pastry, the patterns on them are exquisite, like a work of art.
After making the pastries, they were all packed into the food box.
Before leaving, she went to her room again and inserted the hairpin left by her mother into the bun.
There was some distance to Lingguang Temple, and Leng Wan's feet were tired from walking back and forth, so she chartered a carriage and got into it by herself.
Not far away, a pair of eyes followed her for a few journeys, and when she noticed that something was wrong, she hurried back to the General's Mansion.
At this moment, in the general's mansion, Jiang Yuerong was twisting a string of Buddha beads, kneeling in front of the Buddha, chanting words and praying for the Buddha to bless Leng Wan, and it was best to have a smooth path for the rest of her life.
"Miss."
The guard who had just come back knelt on one knee and arched his hand at Jiang Yuerong in front of the Buddha.
"How is Leng Wan doing?"
Standing up from the Buddha, Jiang Yuerong looked condescendingly at the guards who bowed down in front of her.
"In the past few days, she has been looking for shops in the market, but we have arranged in time, and now none of the shops are willing to lease to her, and no business firm is willing to cooperate with her."
The guard lowered his head and stared at Jiang Yuerong's upper, reporting the news of the past few days truthfully.
"Good, well done!"
Jiang Yuerong laughed, very proud in her heart.
"Miss, the villain just followed Leng Wan, and I saw her rent a carriage to travel. Look at the route...... It seems to be heading towards Jiming Mountain."
The guard remembered this and immediately replied.
"Chicken Song Mountain ......"
After silently reciting the name of this place, Jiang Yuerong suddenly lost her face.
"What? Is she going to Lingguang Temple?"
"The villain dares to guess, it should be so." The guard replied.
"What are you going to do at this time, hurry up and stop her!"
Jiang Yuerong became nervous, and yelled at the guards in a sharp voice.
"Yes, the villain will go right away."
Receiving the order, the guards quickly got up and left.
But now it's too late, the carriage is comfortable and fast, Leng Wan has already arrived at Lingguang Temple, and is looking at the gate of the mountain temple with a pair of big eyes.
"This general's wife is really good at choosing a place, Lingshan Temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are many pilgrims who come and go, so it is a good place to hide and relax."
Leng Wan sighed with emotion as she stepped into the door of Lingshan Temple. z.br>
Following the flow of people, she first went to the merit box to donate incense money, and then took incense sticks to worship the Buddha and pray, which completed a whole set of processes.
"Donor, if you want to go down the mountain, please go this way."
As soon as she came out of the Buddhist hall, a little monk stopped her and stretched out his hand to show her way.
It turns out that the incense of this Lingguang Temple is too prosperous, and Kyoto has a large population, so if you go down the mountain from one road, it is easy to cause road congestion.
That's why the temple raised money and paved another road for going down the mountain, so that one head and one end down, and the two would not be delayed.
"Little donor, I won't go down the mountain for the time being. I finally came to the temple, and I wanted to stay for a fast meal to cleanse my body and mind."
Leng Wan clasped her hands together and returned the salute to the little monk.
"Then I'll take you to the auditorium, where the other donors who are waiting for the meal are also listening to the master's lectures."
The little monk walked in front to lead the way, and from time to time he had to turn his head to see if Leng Wan had lost it.
When she arrived at the auditorium, the little monk arranged for her to sit down, and told her carefully.
"Donor, the temple is big, and there are many mountain roads, so you can stay here and listen to the scriptures, don't run around. I'll come here to find you when it's time for fast."
"Got it, thank you."
Facing an immature child, she smiled coldly and agreed.
I don't know what kind of cotton is sewn from the tunpu in the temple, and it is very soft.
Leng Wan knelt on it, listening to the monk in the robe not far away, talking about some Buddhist scriptures that she couldn't understand at all, and after a while, her upper and lower eyelids began to fight.
No, she has something important to do, but she can't just go to sleep.
While reminding herself, Leng Wan quietly climbed up from the group.
What the little monk said is true, this temple is indeed big.
After walking for a while, Leng Wan was completely disoriented.
She thought about it in her heart, it stands to reason that the front hall of the temple is used for pilgrims, and such a lively place must not be suitable for the general's wife to cultivate.
So go to the back mountain, where the yard is clean, it should be right.
After making up her mind, Leng Wan walked to the backyard with the food box.
After walking for a while, I saw that the front of this small yard was cleaned cleanly, and a pond was specially dug in the open space at the door, and rockery plants were placed, which was very exquisite.
wants to come to such a big show, and only the general's wife is worthy of it.
Pretending that she couldn't find her way, Leng Wan showed a confused look, looked left and right and walked into the small courtyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she was stopped by two guards.
