Chapter 040: Foursome

The Changsheng Temple is located on Queqiao Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital, and the carriage traveled for more than an hour and stopped at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as Shen Lingxi got out of the carriage, he saw Chu Yan pretending to be "Ning Liulang" and walking towards him.

Today, he wore an elegant and flowing azure shirt, a scarf on his head, and a plain white belt tightly bound his narrow waist, making his tall and straight figure even more thin.

Xu was afraid that people would recognize his identity, but this time his appearance was a little different from before.

The face was slightly modified with special materials, weakening the edges and corners of his facial features, and the material of his robe was changed from brocade to ordinary cotton, and he deliberately gathered the Tsinghua nobility around him, making him look even more weak, like a scholar who was powerless.

Shen Lingxi looked at his appearance, a little familiar.

is similar to the way she dressed up when she went to Wanguanfang.

Because of Shen Yuyao's presence, the three of them deliberately made an unexpected appearance, exchanged a few words, and then made an appointment to go up the mountain together.

Queqiao Mountain is famous for its naturally formed boulders on the mountain, which resemble a magpie bridge. Because of this, the concept of immortality on the top of the mountain has also become the most effective place for marriage and children in the capital.

More than 10 years ago, the concept of longevity also produced a Taoist doctor, named Bao Yi Zhenren, medical skills are very clever, it is said that no matter how critical the disease, to him, can be brought back to life.

Shen Lingxi's mother, An, was sent to the concept of immortality overnight because of dystocia when she gave birth to Shen Lingxi.

Although he was saved, he gave birth to a dead child.

In order to protect his reputation, he secretly bought Shen Yuyao and replaced the dead baby.

Later, the baby was picked up by the coffin shop.

This is the past of Shen Lingxi and Shen Yuyao, two true and false daughters.

Calculated carefully, the two of them also have some chance with this concept of immortality.

Today is not only the incense market, but also the road from the foot of the mountain to the upper part of the mountain, lined up with vendors, crowded with people as far as the eye can see, all of them are pilgrims, and they are very lively.

Shen Yuyao got Shen Ji's advice, and Wu Yangyang brought a group of maids and wives to take care of the Hou Mansion's concubines, and vowed to suppress Shen Lingxi in front of Mu Huai'an.

Wherever Mu Huai'an goes, she follows.

Gentle and dignified, elegant and atmospheric, it has attracted praise from passers-by.

Previously, because of Yao Niang's white affairs, Shen Yuyao did enough good deeds in front of people, and many people recognized her.

Now she and Mu Huai'an have climbed Queqiao Mountain together, and her attitude is so intimate that it naturally arouses the sideways attention of many people.

Mu Huai'an is the focus of attention wherever he goes, and he has long been accustomed to the gaze of others.

He didn't want people to misunderstand what he and Shen Yuyao had.

The more times like this, the more deliberately Mu Huai'an kept his distance from her, and between his gestures, he made no secret of his care for Shen Lingxi.

Regarding Mu Huai'an's abnormal behavior, Shen Lingxi didn't pay attention to it at all.

She just wanted to pass the news of her ascent to Shen Liang as soon as possible. I only hope that Shen Liang can live up to her expectations, contact the people behind the scenes, and attack her in time.

Shen Lingxi was even more quickly thinking in his mind, how to get Shen Liang to kidnap Chu Yan together. Only in this way can it be regarded as truly foolproof.

Her mind had not yet formed a plan, but her body had already made a subconscious reaction, and she was extremely close to Chu Yan.

And Chu Yan has never liked people to get close.

The closer Shen Lingxi got, the more he remembered the night when she was covered in blood and burrowed into his arms.

Unconsciously quickened his pace, just wanting to distance himself from her.

The four of them have their own thoughts, you chase me, walk to the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, and finally have a chance to rest.

The real concubines of the family, no matter where they go, are a group of servants and maids, and someone specializes in taking care of everything.

The maidservants burned incense in the pavilion early and set up a hearth.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone outside the pavilion, Shen Yuyao rolled up her sleeves, grinding the tea cakes with her slender hands, elegant and virtuous, and cooked tea for Mu Huai'an with her own hands.

"Brother Huai'an, it's too hot, drink tea to quench your thirst." This delicate and lovely "brother" made everyone outside the pavilion feel crispy.

Mu Huai'an's peach blossom eyes flickered twice, and his slender jade hand took the tea cup, handed it to Shen Lingxi, and also took the tone, "Sister Lingxi, drink tea." ”

Shen Lingxi's clear eyes glanced at him suspiciously, and with that expression, he just had to ask the sentence "Are you sick?"

However, in an instant, Shen Lingxi suddenly opened his mouth, and he had an idea as if he had been enlightened.

She reached out and took the teacup, approached Chu Yan's side, and handed the tea to him shyly and timidly, "Liulang, take a sip of tea to quench your thirst." ”

Chu Yan didn't know what she was thinking, but his task today was to cooperate with her, so he had to take the teacup, thank you warmly and politely, and drink the tea on his back.

Shen Yuyao and Mu Huai'an agreed, and their faces sank.

As a result, the picture of a pair of beautiful people who should have been concubines and concubines traveling together in the mountains and rivers has become a --- in the eyes of everyone

"She loves him, but he loves her, she loves only one other him, and the man is indifferent...... such a bloody one-arrow foursome.

Because of Mu Huai'an's preference, many people have inquired about Shen Lingxi's identity.

"Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper of the Shen family's coffin shop in Wangxian Village?"

"That's in the past. Now this girl is the daughter of Xuanping Hou who has just taken back to the house, I heard that the fourth girl is a mother, and she was accidentally left outside, and was picked up by Shen Laoweng in the coffin shop, and pulled to the biggest. ”

The concubine of the Hou Mansion raised in the coffin shop was favored by the eldest prince of the Chengen Mansion, and instead of taking advantage of the situation, she fell in love with a weak scholar.

This kind of unheard of gossip naturally attracted more reverie and discussion among everyone.

Because of this, in less than half an hour, the four of them only traveled halfway up the mountain, and the news of several of them flew from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain as if they had grown wings, and it reached Shen Liang's ears all the way.

Shen Lingxi's appearance in Queqiao Mountain is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow for the current Shen Liang.

Almost without thinking, he walked to the table, quickly wrote down a note, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and let it go.

Then, from the secret room of the ashram, he took out a brocade box, took out the embroidered handkerchief placed inside, rubbed it in his hand a few times, carefully folded it, and placed it close to his body.

"Someone." He summoned a disciple to come in, "Take someone to clean the Immortal Pavilion, and then order someone to make a table of fasting, and today I will entertain my two nieces." ”

After the disciple left, Shen Liang bolted the door from the inside, lifted a floor tile in the northwest corner of the room, and a secret passage that only allowed one person to pass through appeared.

Holding on to the wall, he walked towards the secret passage......

*

When Shen Lingxi and his party went up the mountain, Shen Liang was already waiting at the door of the Taoist temple.

Shen Liang's face could not hide the look of joy and love, "I didn't prepare anything when I learned that you went up the mountain to play, so prepare a table of vegetarian dishes and enjoy tea with me, how about it?" ”
