Cumulus Temple is in the east, out of the city, but the carriage is all the way to the west.

Xia Ling looked puzzled, tilted his head and asked, "Miss, this is not the way to Cumulus Temple, the slave maid looks like the way to Zhuangzi outside the city." ”

Gu Nanzhi nodded, "Yes, let's go to Zhuangzi first." ”

She should also be sent out by the old lady.

Gu Nanzhi's Zhuangzi is very close, less than thirty miles away from Kyoto, and it will be there in half an hour, and there will be no delay in going to Cumulus Temple.

After the snow, the road is difficult to travel a little later than usual, Gu Nanzhi's Zhuangzi is different from other Zhuangzi, there are also a few Zhuangzi nearby, all of which are planted with grain, but her Zhuangzi has nearly 100 acres of fertile land, and all the spices planted on the mountain.

The steward of Zhuangzi received the letter and knew that she was coming today, so he waited at the door early.

"Miss, you're here." As soon as the carriage stopped, Yu Bo greeted him with a smile, because of the things that Pei Luobai did, no one around her recognized him, even if she had been married to him for six years, they still didn't change their name when they saw her.

Xia Ling helped her out of the carriage, and she asked the people sent by Qiu Ci, "Are they okay?" ”

Yu Bo nodded and said their recent situation, "Miss, rest assured, they have all adapted to life in Zhuangzi. ”

"That's good." Gu Nanzhi has been in charge of the family for six years and knows everyone in the house well, she named a few people, and then said, "Let them come to see me one by one." ”

"Okay, miss, the old slave will go." Yu Bo turned around and went to arrange this matter.

Xia Ling's eyes were focused, "Miss, what are you doing when you see them?" ”

Now she is more and more unable to understand Miss, and always feels as if Miss has a lot of secrets.

Xia Ling is a straight person, and her temper is like a cannon battle, Gu Nanzhi didn't dare to let her know, she only said that there was something, and found an excuse to let her go and see the spices on the Zhuangzi, don't get moldy after a lot of snow.

Xia Ling turned his head and put this matter behind him, and went to check the spices with the hem of his skirt.

There was a charcoal basin burning in the house, Gu Nanzhi was holding a stove in his hand, and he didn't feel cold wearing a thick fox fur on his body.

"The old slave greets the Lady of the Prince." The first to come was Mother Bai, she knelt in front of Gu Nanzhi gratefully, she was old and had bad legs and feet, and she was alone, if it weren't for Mrs. Shizi to take her in, I am afraid that she would have been violent in the wilderness, she said with red eyes, "Mrs. Shizi's great kindness, the old slave in this life has nothing to repay, and in the next life, she will be a cow and a horse to repay Mrs. Shizi's great kindness." ”

"Mother Bai, get up quickly, you have worked hard for the Hou Mansion all your life, this is what I should do." Gu Nanzhi personally stepped forward and helped Mother Bai up.

Mother Bai was flattered, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, and Mrs. Shizi still thought of their goodness and was willing to give them a place to stay, and the old lady and Mrs. were afraid that they would even forget who they were.

Gu Nanzhi took out the portrait prepared in advance, slowly spread it out, looked at Mother Bai and asked, "Mother Bai can see the woman on the portrait." ”

Mother Bai recognized the person above at a glance, she was a little surprised, "Mrs. Shizi, the old slave recognizes that she is the wife of the eldest young master, the Jiang family, the eldest young master was separated before he got married, when they got married, Mrs. Shizi had not yet married into the Hou Mansion, and when Mrs. Shizi married into the Hou Mansion, the eldest young master had already gone to the border with the Jiang family, and Mrs. Shizi had never seen her, because the old lady didn't like her, she rarely showed up, and there were not many people in the house who knew her." ”

This painting was painted by Gu Nanzhi herself, she came to Zhuangzi today, just to verify, her apricot eyes rippled, and said lightly: "Mother Bai is not wrong!" ”

Mother Bai was also the person next to the old lady, but she was not as favored as Mother Kong and Mother Song.

As soon as she asked, Mother Bai took two steps forward, looked at her twice, and said solemnly: "I think when the Jiang family entered the mansion, the rules were all taught by the old slave, and the old slave would never admit his mistake." ”

"How can Mrs. Shizi have her portrait? Half a year ago, the eldest young master died on the battlefield, she went with the eldest young master, the old lady not only asked someone to set up a chastity archway for her, but also made a lot of publicity, because her Hou Mansion also had a lot of limelight, who in Kyoto did not know that she was a chaste martyr, a model for women in the world, attracting many people to follow suit. ”

Gu Nanzhi's apricot eyes seemed to have been thrown by someone, and the ripples spread out in circles, like a whirlpool as bottomless, and she smiled faintly: "She is indeed a chaste martyr." ”

She lowered her eyes slightly, afraid that she would not be able to do this chaste martyr for long.

"It's also fate, near the end of the year, when the people in the house cleaned my brother's residence, I got it by chance." Gu Nanzhi gossiped a few words with Bai's mother, inquired about her body, and gave her some reward silver under the New Year.

Mother Bai left with a thousand thanks.

Gu Nanzhi saw those people one by one, sure enough, they had all seen Jiang Linyue, just looking at the portrait, she could accurately recognize her, she lowered her eyes and looked at the portrait on the table, her eyes were faintly cold, these people were all knives hanging on Jiang Linyue's head, enough to give her a fatal blow.

It's just that now is not the time.

She didn't stay in Zhuangzi for long, and after getting the answer she wanted, she left with Xia Ling.

On this trip, she only brought two nursing homes.

By the time they arrived at Cumulus, it was almost noon.

As soon as she entered Cumulus Temple, the Sanskrit sound was bursting, and the smell of sandalwood lingered on the tip of her nose for a long time, Gu Nanzhi inexplicably felt at ease, she could come back from the dead, and it was hard to guarantee that she was not blessed by a Bodhisattva.

She donated a large sum of sesame oil money, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva devoutly, clasped her hands together, and everyone in the world knelt in front of the gods and Buddhas to ask for something, but she was not, and when she returned from rebirth, she had nothing else to ask for.

revenge, she will avenge herself.

Father, brother and sister-in-law, she will protect herself.

She knelt here, just to thank the Bodhisattva for his great kindness.

Xia Ling has asked the little novice to prepare a meditation room, Cumulus Temple's fast meal is famous, often a meal is hard to find, Gu Nanzhi came by chance, today is neither the first day of the new year, nor the fifteenth, there are few pilgrims in the temple, the host asked someone to prepare a fast meal for them.

Summer called them really lucky.

After fasting, Xia Ling wanted to ask for a few peace charms, sent Gu Nanzhi to the meditation room, and told her to be better like an old mother.

"I see." Gu Nanzhi closed the door of the meditation room with a smile, she was just about to turn around, the smile on her face suddenly froze, the person who made the fragrance had the most sensitive sense of smell, even if it was covered by sandalwood, she still smelled a pungent smell of blood.

Her expression was solemn, and she reached out to push open the door of the meditation room.

"Don't move, don't make a sound." At that moment, a pair of hands as cold as jade grabbed her throat from behind.

She didn't dare to move at the moment, her apricot eyes were full of surprise, this voice ......
