Chapter 22: Bumping into each other
When everything was cleaned up, Lin Wanwan was already waiting at the gate of the General's Mansion, she was wearing a lotus pink dress, and her expression was well-behaved and demure.
Bai Xin walked out slowly, looking arrogant, she didn't prepare anything, thinking that the old lady would arrange it when the time came.
Lin Wanwan looked at it in her eyes and looked at it.
It's not a short journey, and it's obviously foolish not to prepare. However, she didn't plan to remind Bai Xin, and she didn't have this obligation.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, looked at each other and hated each other, only five meters apart, but they were indifferent to each other worse than strangers.
The atmosphere was very awkward and silent for a while, until half an hour later, the old lady was slowly walked out by Mama Cui.
The old lady is very imposing, even if she is old, she has her own elegance and majesty, and just her eyes swept over, which was enough to make the two of them break out in a cold sweat on their backs.
Lin Wanwan blinked, hurried over, and helped the old lady to the carriage that the groom was gradually approaching.
"Old lady, go up slowly."
Lin Wanwan waited carefully.
Bai Xin rolled her eyes and mocked in a low voice, "Heh, sycophant." ”
The old lady turned a deaf ear and stepped directly on the stool and walked into the carriage, while Lin Wanwan paused and pretended not to hear and climbed into the carriage.
It is not wise to lose your temper at this time.
On the contrary, Bai Xin, who was ignored, was angry alone, and followed with a hateful handkerchief.
The carriage was luxurious, spacious, and the cushions were woollen, and the windows on both sides were made of wood, so that you could see the bustle of the street outside.
But it was a year of calamity, and it was winter, and it was snowing outside, and no one was walking around the streets except wandering beggars.
The carriage had only been gone for a while, and the goose feathers and snow began to fall outside, and the streets were covered in silver and white.
The old lady pretended to sleep with her old eyes, carrying the soup woman in her arms, and remembered something and asked Bai Xin, "Bai, I heard that you donated twenty taels to the people?" ”
Hearing this, sitting next to the old lady, she kept looking sideways at Lin Wanwan outside the window, and also looked at Bai Xin, with a bit of exploration in her eyes.
Bai Xin smiled, and seemed a little embarrassed, "The concubine body is just a little bit of a small effort, it stands to reason that the concubine body is also a person from the General's Mansion, a woman of the prince, and it is appropriate to be a concubine." ”
The old lady opened her eyes and looked at her with satisfaction, "Good job." ”
Receiving the old lady's affirmation, Bai Xin was a little excited in her heart, and her smile deepened, "Hmm." ”
"Look back and see how your subordinates are doing, and bring all those who have received your favor to you to thank you." The old lady spoke, looking at Bai Xin with sharp eyes, "I hope you will do what you say." ”
Bai Xin's smile stiffened in vain, she scolded the old lady in her heart for being an old fox, and nodded on her face, "Go ahead with the old lady, the concubine will do what she says." ”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction and continued to sleep.
It was Lin Wanwan, with a gloating face, she didn't believe that Bai Xin was so kind, if the old lady studied deeply, Bai Xin would definitely show her feet.
Or, Bai Xin will really take out twenty taels.
Or, Bai Xin will have to bear the wrath of the old lady.
Bai Xin saw the look on her face, her cheeks were flushed with annoyance, and she snorted coldly and turned her head to ignore Lin Wanwan.
In fact, she was calculating in her heart, how to force Lin Wanwan to get this twenty taels, and she could still take advantage of her good reputation.
The carriage traveled very smoothly all the way, and soon arrived at Jinshan Temple, because it was too smooth, it made Lin Wanwan feel a little uneasy.
When stepping on the steps and walking up to Jinshan Temple, Lin Wanwan followed the old lady and glanced at Bai Xin, and the other party walked calmly, and found that her eyes still had a somewhat provocative and smug look.
It made Lin Wanwan's heart even more uneasy.
Today, Bai Xin was quiet and there was something wrong.
But she couldn't see anything wrong, could it be that after she and Yun Ye were in the same room together, Bai Xin really didn't mind?
She didn't believe it, when Bai Xin broke into the room that day, she looked at her eyes and wanted to eat people.
But Bai Xin didn't move now, so Lin Wanwan had to suppress her anxiety and follow the old lady step by step.
All the way to the gate of Jinshan Temple, a bald old monk was waiting there, the old monk's expression was compassionate and compassionate, and his hands were folded.
Seeing everyone coming, he greeted him and said, "Welcome a few female donors, the old man has been waiting for a long time." ”
As he spoke, he paused in front of Lin Wanwan, looked at her with his eyes, and then fixed his gaze, "Girl, you are a person with great luck, but it's a pity, your fate is difficult." If you have difficulties in the future, you can come to the old man for help. ”
Lin Wanwan smiled back, but there were waves in his heart, could it be that this old monk saw something.
But before she could ask, the old monk talked to the old lady and walked to the front, and she didn't interject at all.
It was Bai Xin, the jealous look in her eyes almost turned into a firelight that burned her back, and she sneered and lowered her head and whispered, "Pretending to be a ghost." ”
Lin Wanwan listened, and suddenly remembered how to deal with Bai Xin.
It's a pity that Yun Ye is not here, otherwise, it would be more perfect.
Her lips pursed, and her mood was a little better, but suddenly she looked back at the old monk, and the old monk seemed to have insight into her thoughts, and shook his head helplessly.
"A few female donors will stay here, there is an unwritten rule in Jinshan Temple, you can't see blood and fire, you don't have to light a fire here to cook, you have your own arrangement for eating."
The old monk stood in front of several wings, the beads in his hands twisting quickly.
Lin Wanwan listened to it in her heart and silently remembered this sentence.
The old lady looked pious, folded her hands, and was very respectful, "It's hard work, you go and rest, and we will solve the next thing." ”
"That's fine, the old man still has important matters, so let's go first." The old monk nodded, then turned to leave, his pace bracing.
Lin Wanwan stood next to him, passing by him, and accidentally heard a sigh that seemed to be nothing.
Just when she was puzzled, the old lady looked at the two of them with a cold face, and warned in a sonorous and powerful manner, "You have all heard what the host said, you all give the old body some peace, don't make a moth, if it destroys the old body, I can't spare you." ”
Bai Xin's eyes flickered, and there was no response.
However, Lin Wanwan nodded, looking very well-behaved, which made the old lady's eyes soften when she looked at her.
After Mama Cui helped the old lady into the resting room, Bai Xin glanced at Lin Wanwan fiercely, and then walked in with a room next to her.
Lin Wanwan was not in a hurry, but waited for the surroundings to be quiet, picked a room next to the old lady and walked in, and only after settling it down did she come out for a walk slowly.
She wants to get to know the environment here and pave the way for future plans.
When I arrived at Jinshan Temple, it was noon, and the sun had just set on the edge of the sky until now, but the time in the mountain was different from the outside, and the sky was still white outside, and the Jinshan Temple was already covered with a dark curtain at this time.
But fortunately, the moon is very bright, and if you don't light the lamp, you can see the surroundings.
Lin Wanwan has a good memory, and she remembers the road that the old monk has only taken once.
Walking along the way, I walked to the backyard of Jinshan Temple, and suddenly saw a masked man dressed in black standing under a Bodhi tree, holding a little monk's neck.
The masked man was extremely tall and long, although he was very thin, but he was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and his arms looked strong and powerful.
The little monk's face turned purple and he didn't say a word, as if he was about to be strangled to death.
Lin Wanwan didn't expect to see this scene, gasped, and accidentally stepped on a dry dead branch, in the silence around, the sound of clicking and breaking was extremely obvious, almost amplified several times.
The masked man looked back almost immediately, and even though Lin Wanwan hid quickly, he also saw a corner of his lotus pink clothes.
He suddenly let go of his hand, and the little monk collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
The little monk followed the masked man's line of sight and found a lotus pink corner, knowing that it was one of the benefactors who presided over the day and said that he had come to benefactor.
The corners of his eyes were hot, and he hugged the masked man's thighs, pulling his throat and screaming.
"Female benefactor, run!"
"!" Lin Wanwan couldn't help but scold, she knew that she might have been discovered, but being shouted so obviously by the little monk made her mood disordered.
poked his head out and found that the masked man knocked the little monk unconscious, and easily threw it on the Bodhi tree to hang.
Her face was numb, "......"
Did she hit it?
Just as she was thinking about this question, the masked man walked over with steady steps and a fierce attitude, looking at her with deep eyes, but the strong aggression slightly emitted a cold light, which was very obvious in this darkness.
