Chapter 58: Enter the temple to burn incense

When Xu Mingchen came out of the Zhenguo Mansion, he saw that there were many carriages outside the door that came to give gifts, he just glanced at it quickly, there were naturally many people with such a reputation as the Zhenguo Mansion, and there were naturally many people who went on the pole to give gifts.

"Three-third young master?" Suddenly, there was an uncertain inquiry behind him.

Xu Mingchen's body stiffened, his eyes tried to remain calm, and he quickly got into his carriage without looking back, and behind him, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper was still staring at his back with a puzzled face, until a man in a fancy dress impatiently urged him to come to the door to hand over the prayer post, he hurriedly turned around and walked up the steps of the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion.

The candles in the room were bright at night, Xu Junze stepped into the room and saw Lin Shuran sitting on a chair undressed, with a slight sadness between his eyebrows, I don't know what he was thinking, was it for the silver?

"You don't have to worry about the silver, I can withdraw a year's worth of silver in advance, which is enough for a house to spend!" Xu Junze didn't explain to Lin Shuran where he spent the money, in short, he promised to let her and the children have money to use.

Lin Shuran didn't expect Xu Junze to talk about the silver as soon as he entered the house, and knew that he had misunderstood, so he told Xu Junze about taking Xu Minghao to the prison of the Criminal Department to see his friend Xiaohuzi today, and also told Xu Junze what Xiaohuzi said.

"Husband, do you think this clue is going to be told to the people investigating the case in the Criminal Department?" Lin Shuran thought about this matter, she was not the person who was suitable to come forward, the relationship between the various prefectures in the capital was very complicated, and this fabric was not available to ordinary people, so it must be handled carefully, so as not to blindly inform the people of the criminal department of the clues, but it would startle the snake and be unfavorable to the detection of the case.

"I will deal with this matter, if someone from the Criminal Department comes to the door again, just let them come to me! It's late, you should rest early! Xu Junze, who had not yet sat down in the house, turned around and left, Lin Shuran looked at his departing back and did not chase him out and ask more, she did not know the situation in the DPRK, but the Ming family might be able to get out of this case.

Sure enough, two days later, the Ming family came out with good news, Ming's younger brother Minghui had been released from the prison of the Criminal Department, saying that the Criminal Department had found out that he had nothing to do with the case, and he did sneak into Luo's house to see Luo Juanjuan that day, and the two of them also had a big quarrel in Luo Juanjuan's boudoir, but there was a maid in Luo's mansion who saw Minghui go over the wall and leave again, and Luo Juanjuan was still alive at that time.

"Miss, the slave maid heard that the reason why the young master of the Ming family climbed over the wall to see Miss Luo was because he knew that Miss Luo Jia, who had a marriage contract with him, and someone who was good with him, couldn't help but ask angrily, how could he think that Miss Luo not only admitted, but also divorced from the Ming family, and even said-" Chunxi, who had just come back from outside, told Lin Shuran the freshly baked gossip news on the street, but he was a little embarrassed to say it with a look of disdain.

Lin Shuran's eyes motioned for her to continue, Minghui had just been released from the Criminal Department, and the details of the case were revealed, she always felt that this was like someone did it on purpose, and it was more like Xiao Chen's style of handling cases.

Chunxi approached Lin Shuran with a mysterious face, lowered her head and whispered: "Miss Luo also told the young master of the Ming family that she was pregnant with the other party's child, and the marriage with the Ming family was decided!" ”

In addition, Chunxi also told Lin Shuran that this matter is now rumored outside, and everyone is guessing that the person who killed Luo Juanjuan is likely to be her sweetheart, and the identity of that person may be the prince and grandson of which family.

Lin Shuran only smiled after hearing this, and her intuition told her that this case was not too far from being solved.

Firecrackers outside the mansion sounded, and there were two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and at this time of year, the Jin Dynasty from the imperial family to the common people were busy sacrificing their ancestors, but at this time, the Great General's Mansion was always deserted, just like rootless and sectless, and the ancestral hall was empty.

However, Xu Mingchen's stepsons would go to Long'an Temple to burn incense the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, because it enshrined their loved ones who had passed away for them, their past, and where they came from.

Early in the morning, Lin Shuran asked people to pack up a few carriages, today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, she will take her thirteen stepsons to Long'an Temple to burn incense.

In previous years, when Xu Junze was there, he would take Xu Mingchen and them to Long'an Temple, if he was not there, he would be escorted by Xu An and the family in the house, although Xu Junze was in Beijing this year, but he was entangled in business and couldn't go, so she took them to the temple with her mother.

And every time at this time, even Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan, who were the most lively in the past, will become extremely quiet, and Xu Mingye, who is well injured this time, will also go with him.

On this day, the inside and outside of the capital will be very lively, the temple and the nunnery are even more crowded, and the believers who burn incense and worship the Buddha gather in an endless stream, and the more lively it sounds, the more the children of the Xu family in the carriage are silent and quiet, and even Xu Shisan, who was held in the arms of the nurse, did not say a word along the way.

The carriage of the Xu family did not enter from the main gate of Long'an Temple, as one of the three most prosperous temples in the capital, there are many pilgrims in Long'an Temple every day, and it is overcrowded at the end of the year, and the monks in the temple will come out to maintain order, and they will not let too many pilgrims go in at once.

Perhaps the Buddha has been in the world for a long time, and has also been tainted with some secular rules, as a member of the privileged class, the carriage of the Xu family entered the Long'an Temple smoothly without being blocked, and the Zenfang temple used to rest was also prepared for the Xu family early.

"Mother, I'll take my younger brothers to the Hall of Death first!" When he arrived at Long'an Temple, Xu Mingchen, who was more familiar with this place, said to Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran nodded, she had asked Xu An earlier, every year on this day, Xu Mingchen would take the children of the Xu family to the Hall of Death to follow the monks in the temple to chant and chant Buddha for the deceased, and she would not follow the past to disturb their time of "getting along" with their respective relatives.

When Xu Mingchen and they went to the Hall of Death, Lin Shuran also walked leisurely in Long'an Temple, there were many pilgrims in the majestic Buddha front hall, and the cold air was illuminated by the rising cold sun, and gradually there was warmth.

Maybe it's because when you come to the temple full of gods and Buddhas, as soon as you enter here, people can't help but feel awe, and Lin Shuran looked at the Buddha in the main hall with a compassionate look on all beings, and for some reason, a line of tears flowed out of her eyes, and the spring joy on the side was shocked.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Chunxi stepped forward and asked softly uneasily, surrounded by other pilgrims who were walking or stopping, Lin Shuran's abnormality naturally attracted the attention of others.
