After walking for half an hour, Ding Er raised his hand and pointed to the front and said, "Childe, it's here, it's there." ”

Chu Liangrao raised her eyes and saw that the trees not far away were towering and lush, and a simple small temple could be faintly seen under the shade of the trees. There are green creepers on the walls, looking like a world away.

It was a quiet place, and it looked more like a temple than the place where she used to make incense.

Before entering the 'door', Chu Liangrao had a curiosity to explore, just waiting to get off the horse and take a look.

Closer, you can hear the sound of the broom crossing the place, a hunchbacked old monk heard the sound of horses' hooves slowly turned around, saw a few people with extraordinary temperament, then performed a Buddha ceremony, called the Buddha's name.

This old monk is full of wrinkles and drooping eye bags, looking like he is drooping and old, but he still comes out to work, which shows that the situation in this temple is not optimistic.

Chu Liangrao jumped off the horse, handed the reins to Zhou's mother, stepped forward and saluted: "This master, we are passing through here and want to go in to worship the Buddha beads, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

"Donor, please." The old monk let go of his body, did not deliberately flatter and curry, nor did he ask for sesame oil money.

This indifferent state of mind made Chu Liangrao awe-inspired, and led Zhou's mother and Ding Er, and she walked towards the temple with steps.

Pushing open the unpainted wooden 'door', Chu Liangrao walked down the steps, looked around, and saw that although the place was small and the building was old, it showed traces of years of precipitation, and the floor was clean and tidy.

While looking, Chu Liangrao said, "It's really a good place." ”

Thinking that Huo Tainan often came here, Chu Liangrao was satisfied with Huo Tainan's taste, as for the original intention of coming here, she didn't think it was important. Walking into the lobby and looking at the Buddha with a dark face, Chu Liangrao knelt on the futon and bowed respectfully, and then got up and donated all the money and property he brought with him to the merit box.

"Childe, do you want to take a break, and the little one goes to find some water." Ding Er said.

Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, walked to the small table in the courtyard and sat down, looking at the green 'color' above her head, she said: "The winding path leads to the secluded place, and the meditation room is deep in flowers. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice praise: "Childe is so literate." ”

Chu Liangrao didn't expect that there were still people, and when she turned around, she was stunned.

I saw that the person on the other side was also stunned, bowed and saluted: "Xiaosheng's surname is Xiao, I don't know what to call the son?" ”

The one who spoke was Xiao Mingyue Xiao Daban who he had seen on the boat that day, Chu Liangrao would not reveal his name, and only introduced himself: "Your surname is Lin." ”

"It turned out to be Lin Gongzi." A smile flashed in Xiao Mingyue's eyes, and she said gently, "I didn't expect that there were people who were as interested in this place as Xiaosheng." ”

Chu Liangrao didn't have a good impression of Xiao Mingyue, and when she heard him say this at this time, she just smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing that the other party didn't deal with his own thoughts, Xiao Mingyue said goodbye: "Xiaosheng still wants to ask the Buddha for advice, so don't bother." ”

"Please." Chu Liangrao said humbly.

Xiao Mingyue turned sideways, glanced at Chu Liangrao with interest, and then opened the folding fan and staggered into the lobby.

Ding Er frowned and said in a low voice: "Childe, this person landed silently, every step is generally powerful, and he is a master of internal strength." ”

The corners of her mouth twitched, and Chu Liangrao said, "In that case, let's go back first." In fact, she also felt that Xiao Mingyue, who suddenly appeared, was inexplicable, although she had a relationship with him, but she had not had an 'intersection'. For some reason, she was very uncomfortable when she saw this person.

After thinking about it carefully, Ding Er suggested: "This person's skills should be comparable to those of the small ones, and the son does not need to be in a hurry to avoid it." ”

Chu Liangrao glanced at him and said, "If you want to boast about yourself, you can make it clear that you still make such a big turn." ”

Ding Er's expression froze, and he said to Chu Liangrao: "Childe, this is not good. ”

Chu Liangrao stopped teasing him and said, "I'm afraid that there is no vegetarian food for us here, and it looks like we have to go back to the city before noon." "Although she is here to find someone, she doesn't want to go hungry, you must know that after losing 'fat', she is most reluctant to be wronged by her stomach.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao had made up his mind, Ding Er didn't persuade much, and only ordered the two guards to lead the horse over.

Chu Liangrao walked out of the small temple, greeted the old monk who swept the floor, and then said goodbye.

Zhou's mother was puzzled, she didn't come out for a long time, why did she have to go back? Thinking about it, she suggested: "Childe, if you let your mother wait, maybe you can run into it." ”

"No need, come along, go back together." Chu Liangrao got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and the horses under her ran happily.

Ding Er followed, and Zhou's mother was not far behind, shouting: "Son, ride slowly." ”

The group came and went in a hurry, without attracting the attention of the sweeping old monk at all, until Xiao Mingyue walked out of the temple, and the sweeping old monk's originally cloudy eyes were 'fine' and 'exposed', and he said: "No matter what your purpose is, don't involve this place." ”

Xiao Mingyue hooked her lips and smiled, flattering: "What purpose can I have, but just seeing her, I have always been curious about who made him move his heart like water." Opening the folding fan and shaking it slowly, he said, "When I saw it today, it was really impressive, compared to those official ladies who pretended to be serious, this Ning'an County Lord is really interesting." ”

Lowering his eyelids, the sweeping old monk calmed down: "You have also seen people, don't come again in the future." ”

"Huh." Mockingly, Xiao Mingyue said, "Are you willing to come to your place?" If I hadn't paid for it, do you think you could really be a recluse? ”

The sweeping old monk was silent, and the only thing that answered him was the sound of sweeping brushes.

This scene that happened in front of the temple, Chu Liangrao on horseback naturally had no way of knowing.

The group hurried back to the city, dusty behind them.

On the way, a person and a rider on the opposite side came to him, and there was still a position of 100 meters away, he tightened the reins and looked at Chu Liangrao with a surprised expression.

Seeing the comer, Chu Liangrao twitched the corners of her mouth, and also pulled the reins, and the horses under her rushed out more than ten meters with inertia before stopping, and the horse's hooves stepped restlessly for a few steps before gradually stabilizing.

Subconsciously 'touched' and 'touched' her face, Chu Liangrao felt that her makeup should not be seen through so easily. But the gaze of the man on the other side burned as if he could see through her, which made her very embarrassed. On second thought, if he hadn't recognized himself, how could he have stopped?

This thought made Chu Liangrao blush, it was really ...... to see each other before marriage It makes people have a special taste in their hearts.

Ding Er and Zhou's mother glanced at each other, and consciously did not make a sound, and the two guards never opened their mouths from beginning to end, so naturally they couldn't speak.

Looking at Chu Liangrao, who was blushing in the earlobes on the other side, Huo Tainan jumped off the horse and led the horse forward, looking helpless and funny.

As if being treated as a naughty boy, Chu Liangrao couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and her previous rhetoric had long been left behind. It stands to reason that she should dismount, but thinking of her frustration when she got off the horse, Chu Liangrao didn't want to be embarrassed, so she buried her blushing face on the horse's back, and didn't dare to look up to see people.

The heart of the 'chest' was pounding and beating, and when Chu Liangrao was feeling that her breathing was short, she heard a voice like a heavenly voice say gently, "Come, I'll help you." ”

Raising his eyes, he saw Huo Tainan stretching out his hand towards him, and his broad palm looked very secure.

Subconsciously stretched out her hand, Chu Liangrao retracted her hand again, and muttered softly: "I can do it myself." ”

"I'll hold you, it's okay." Huo Tainan persuaded in a soft voice.

Chu Liangrao hesitantly put her hand on his warm palm, and a burst of electricity passed from her fingers to her scalp, but she still made a calm appearance and said, "Then, I'm down." ”

Seeing Huo Tainan nodding, Chu Liangrao dismounted, not wanting to be too chic and overexerting, and almost didn't stand firm as soon as his feet landed. Fortunately, Huo Tainan is supporting, otherwise I don't know how to lose face at this time.

Withdrawing her hand, Chu Liangrao pretended to be natural and said, "Thank you." ”

"It's a gesture." Huo Tainan smiled and asked, "Why is the county lord dressed like this?" ”

Although she didn't want to admit it, it was a fact that she was seen through, so Chu Liangrao had to explain: "It's so convenient, I thought no one would recognize it." ”

Hearing such an explanation, Huo Tainan couldn't help laughing, won't people see it? Obviously, right?

When the entourage on the side saw that the two of them were talking, they consciously took a few steps back to make room.

Seeing that the place where Ding Er was standing was not far away, it was just enough to protect Chu Liangrao and not interfere too much, Huo Tainan's original worries were a little lighter, but in the end, he was still not at ease, so he said to Chu Liangrao: "The county master is looking for me, you might as well let someone say it, why do you want to 'make' it like this?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao's face changed slightly, and seeing that Huo Tainan did not mean to despise her, she said: "It's better to see it like this." As she spoke, she asked, "How do you know I'm looking for you?" ”

Seeing that Chu Liangrao was reluctant to say the reason, Huo Tainan turned the topic away and asked, "County Lord, you are looking for it, I don't know what's going on?" ”

When it came to business, Chu Liangrao was embarrassed again, pursed her lips, and said, "I want to know your mind." ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, Huo Tainan's eyes fell on Chu Liangrao, and he said to those serious and persistent eyes: "Do you think that I went to the 'door' to propose marriage because of your father's instructions?" ”

Opening her mouth in surprise, Chu Liangrao said, "Can you guess this?" ”

"It's not hard to guess." Huo Tainan said sincerely, "Now, do you still want to know? ”

Chu Liangrao nodded solemnly: "Yes, I want to know." ”

"It's at the will of the next person, and it has nothing to do with others." Huo Tainan replied.

This answer did not satisfy Chu Liangrao, she asked: "However, we have only met a few times, and we don't know each other very well, and then ......" Biting her 'lip', she continued, "Marriage is a big event, how can it be child's play." "The county lord's worries are understood below." Huo Tainan said, "The status of the county lord is noble, and the people who ask to marry do not know how many, and it is also the will of heaven to be fortunate in the future." After saying this, Huo Tainan looked at Chu Liangrao's expression again, and saw that she was confused, so he said: "It's not that I am greedy for nobility, what I am happy about is just you." ”
