Chapter 13: The Assassins
But now is not the time to dwell on that.
The old lady got up: "Hurry up and send someone to inform Luan Xiuyuan and Brother Ting'er, don't miss the hour." ”
Mama Chen dressed her with her hands and feet: "I have been notified, the little grandfather and the second lady are waiting in the hall again, but they are just ......"
"But what?"
"Aunt Jiang and Miss Biao are also here."
"What are they doing here?"
Although the ancestors of the Liu family have also produced three major officials, but they are all old yellow calendars, and the current Liu family can only be regarded as a scholarly family with a little money, Liu Pianran and her father are in their thirties, and they are still just a show talent until they die, and they have no official position.
The concubines who were able to marry Jiang Wangye's family back then were all Gao Pan, and they belonged to the ancestor Mengyin.
Three years ago, Liu Pianran's talented father was depressed and died of illness, the Jiang family had no palace as a backer, and the mother and daughter were completely excluded in the Liu family, and wrote to the Guogong Mansion for help.
It's just that if you are looking for a good family for Liu Pianran, the old lady doesn't mind.
But what happened yesterday made the old lady very unhappy.
Not to mention that her family is just dealing with the subordinates who made mistakes in her yard, even if she is powerful in the entire Guogong Mansion, it is not the turn of others to talk nonsense.
Just a concubine, only to give her a face to call Aunt Jiang and Miss Cousin, really want to talk about it, the three daughters of Prince Jiang, Nannan's mother and the little county lord of Jiang Wangfu, who is far away in Shuofang County and married in Shuofang County, are real blood relatives.
It's just that the little county lord is married far away, and Shuofang County Jilusai is a border fortress against the Huns, so it is easy not to pass on the letter, and the aunt and cousin of Nannan have only written two letters back.
"I heard that the Jiang family donated a lot of sesame oil money to Sheng'an Temple before, and Master Kongjue passed away, and some pilgrims can also go to pay respects, this is the quota in the temple."
The Jiang family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but he has become a famous pilgrim in Yedu Sheng'an Temple, which is really interesting.
"Now that you're here, let's go together!"
On this night, Yedu was brightly lit, the traffic was busy, and all the convoys were heading towards Sheng'an Temple.
Shen Feiluan saw that there were heavy guards along the way, and the carriage going up the mountain was strictly searched, and there was no problem before letting it go.
Those guards all looked solemn, in the past, these people did not dare to search the carriage of the Rongguo Mansion, but today they also took a closer look at the curtain.
Wrong!
She frowned, could it be that the Master of Void Awakening was not a normal death, but ...... Assassinated?
"Old lady, second lady."
The searching guard whispered, "Grandpa Guo asked the lowly to escort the two. ”
When the old lady was puzzled, Shen Feiluan had already leaned over: "Are you catching assassins?" ”
It is rumored that the second lady of the Rongguo Mansion is a love brain, squeamish and simple, the guard didn't expect her intuition to be so keen, her brows jumped, she looked left and right, and made sure that no one replied in an inaudible voice: "Yes." ”
Shen Feiluan waved his hand, the guards retreated, and the old lady covered his lips nervously, with a complicated look in his eyes: "What's the matter?" ”
There are strong secret guards guarding near Master Kongjue's meditation room, and there are many people around him, how can he be assassinated, and the assassin hasn't caught it yet?
In the previous life, the master of Kongjue passed away after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now there is still half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival!
She doesn't remember what she was doing in the Mid-Autumn Festival in her previous life, after all, it was ten years ago.
I only vaguely remember that after the death of Master Kongjue, Ye was strictly forbidden for a long time, and there was a lot of noise, and no one even held a banquet.
It's just that she didn't care about these at that time, and she focused on Murong Zhai, only hearing that it seemed that she had caught a few Turkic works not long after.
But, in her first life, she will use her brain to think, Master Kongjue is the emperor's father, Sheng'an Temple is heavily guarded, and ordinary people are even closer to the master by half a step.
He felt that the Murong clan was deeply sinful, worshiped the Buddha all the year round, and easily did not go out of the meditation room, what kind of meticulous work could sneak in and kill the master of empty consciousness without knowing it, and then retreat without knowing it?
That's impossible!
If it is, it must be a combination of inside and outside, and this "inside" status is not low, and it can protect the assassin.
"Hello!"
The old lady grabbed Shen Feiluan's hand: "Don't run around when you go to the temple, obediently follow your grandmother, do you know?" ”
Shen Feiluan nodded, and shook her hand back vigorously.
The Rongguo Mansion is the first wealthy family in Daye, and in the order of entry, after the royal family, it is the Guogong Mansion.
When Shen Feiluan got out of the carriage, he raised his eyes and saw Murong Zhai riding a horse and following Liu Pianran's carriage.
When she was helped down by Sang Yu, Murong Zhai raised her hand in front of Liu Pianran, as if he wanted to help her down.
But Liu Pianran avoided him, half leaning on the maid's arms, her legs and feet were a little inconvenient to get off the ground, and her cold and detached appearance added a little arrogance to her beauty.
Sensing Shen Feiluan's eyes, Liu Pianran took two steps back in fear, distanced herself from Murong Zhai, bowed slightly, grabbed Jiang's arm, and proved to Shen Feiluan with her actions that she had nothing to think of Murong Zhai.
"Luan'er."
Murong Zhai also trotted towards her as if everything was beautiful: "When I was going up the mountain, your cousin's carriage broke down and broke down, so I asked the guards to fix their carriage and carry them for a while. ”
With a smile on his face, he waved at the old lady: "The old lady is good." ”
At the dinner table yesterday, the accusation was bloody, and the old lady nodded with a displeased face and did not speak.
If you guessed correctly, Liu Pianran should have fallen into Murong Zhai's arms!
It's really breathless.
Shen Feiluan glanced at Liu Pianran and snorted, "What cousin?" It's just a relative from Jiangnan, my cousin is the beloved daughter of the Taishou of Shuofang County, what identity does she dare to climb relatives? ”
When she said this, she didn't lower her voice, and all the ladies and ladies in the carriages behind heard it, and looked at the Jiang family and daughter curiously.
Murong Zhai frowned, he didn't like her snarky appearance, and he wanted to teach her a lesson: "Luan'er, you ......"
"Grandmother, let's go inside! The people behind were blocked. ”
The old lady didn't look at him squarely, grabbed her granddaughter's hand tightly, and led her into the temple.
The Jiang mother and daughter, who followed them closely, both had red eyes, as if they had been bullied, and followed them aggrievedly.
A fragrant fragrance swept through the tip of his nose, and Murong Zhai showed a pity for Liu Pianran.
Shen Feiluan was spoiled by Rong Guogong, she was delicate, Miss Liu was weak and introverted, and she lived in Guogong Mansion, she was disliked by Shen Feiluan, and she didn't know how difficult her life was?
If Shen Feiluan knew what he was thinking, he would have to complain: It's only been two days since she came to the Guogong Mansion, and you know that she has a hard time?
After the people of the Rongguo Mansion entered the temple, only the families of hundreds of officials entered one after another, and they did not dare to discuss it on their faces, but their hearts were restless.
Who is the mother and daughter just now?
