"Girl, are you really going?" Manshuang was a little worried. "Who knows what uncle's wife has. She wants me to say, let's go to ours, and you don't have to follow her to pray for the young master. What if she beats you again?"

Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, "No, I have already made it clear with my second aunt that day, and I and my second aunt are on the eternal light. When my cousin Wenxuan saw it in the Spirit of Heaven, he would be very pleased!"

If Manshuang is not easy to say anything else.

Manhua had no objection. She knew that girls had their own compliantness, but she didn't know that things were often beyond people's expectations.

Lin Zhaoyan went back to wash and clean up. After everything was ready, he went to Lu Yutang to report to Liu.

Liu was also forgotten by his recent troubles. After hearing Lin Zhaoyan's words, he remembered it and felt a little awkward, "If I had known this, my mother would have asked you to marry Wenxuan, otherwise so many things would not have happened."

Liu means that if Lin Zhaoyan gets married, Lin Chen will think more about things. Maybe he will not be willful and impulsive for Lin Zhaoyan's happiness.

Lin Zhaoyan thought she was referring to something that happened to Liu Wenxuan, and said sadly: "No one expected that I only felt that Wenxuan's cousin helped me to help me relieve the situation. In the blink of an eye, he has passed away for half a year."

Liu smiled bitterly and only told Lin Zhaoyan to be careful and didn't say anything else.

Lin Zhaoyan left the house.

Lin Ruoyan rushed over after hearing the news and said that he would go with Lin Zhaoyan.

Lin Zhaoyan thought that if she took Lin Ruoyan with her, it might make Lu feel that she was not sincere enough to neglect Liu Wenxuan, so she refused and said, "Will you wait next time? I'm afraid my second aunt will be dissatisfied."

It’s rare that Lin Ruoyan is not willful.

Lin Zhaoyan didn't know that this might be the most wrong decision in her life.

It was already mid-autumn, and the summer flowers in Lingyun Temple had faded, and the ground was covered with red maples, as bright as fire.

On the 180 steps leading to the top of the temple are yellow ginkgo trees with fallen leaves all over the ground. A golden layer is paved with beautiful scenery.

The green mountains are like dark eyebrows, wearing a red maple louver skirt, walking on a pair of golden silk floral shoes, reflecting the morning sun, like a shy girl.

There are not many pilgrims coming to burn incense today. A few people are wearing silk and satin, or wearing cloth and sweatshirts, carrying baskets of incense paper in their hands. They step on the steps towards the hall.

Lin Zhaoyan jumped out of the carriage with Manshuang's hand, raised his eyes to look at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go up!"

Manshuang and Manhua helped her walk up the steps.

Behind him were a few little girls who were called by Liu.

The season is cold and there are few pilgrims. Lin Zhaoyan and his group are eye-catching, and several pilgrims coming and going are looking at them.

Manshuang frowned strangely, "Why is it so deserted today? Logically speaking, Lingyun Temple is in full bloom, and even in the off-season, there will be no one there."

Manhua also nodded thoughtfully, "Will there be some big shot coming? So the scene is cleared?"

When Lin Zhaoyan heard what they said, he also looked around and paid special attention to the people who had been staring at her.

They all looked very ordinary people, and they would smile at her when they met her eyes. There was nothing special about them.

She smiled at the two maids and said, "Are there still a few people coming to burn incense? Don't think too much, let's go up and wait for my second aunt!"

Manshuang and Manhua had no choice but to nod and didn't think much about it.

The group walked through the 108-level stone steps, and before they could enter the main hall, a monk came forward and said respectfully: "Is it the fourth girl from the Marquis of Jian'an?"

Lin Zhaoyan nodded and said "Yes".

The monk smiled respectfully again and said, "Miss Lin Si, Mrs. Liu has prepared the wing room for you. Please follow the monk."

Lin Zhaoyan did not respond and said, "I want to go to my cousin's immortal tablet to sing incense sticks first."

The little monk said, "Mrs. Liu said, please go to the wing room first, wait for her to come, and then go together."

Lin Zhaoyan frowned, and she looked around. The main hall was deserted and there was no cigarette smoke from the past.

"Where is Master Mingyi?" Lin Zhaoyan asked again.

The young monk replied calmly: "Master Mingyi went to Dule Temple in Ji County to exchange the mysterious ways of Buddhism."

Only then did Lin Zhaoyan realize something was wrong.

There are too few people in this temple, and even Master Mingyi, who is accustomed to making money, is not here.

Is it true that what Manshuang said is Lu's conspiracy?

But it’s not right. The wife of the first fifth-rank official in the Lu family was even more powerless and powerful in Shengjing. She had no relatives or reasons. She could collude with Lingyun Temple to plot against her?

Where did she get her skills?!

Lin Zhaoyan was so nervous, but he couldn't say that he was so nervous.

He raised his eyes and met the monk's respectful and smiling eyebrows, and there was no flaw at all.

"Miss Lin Si, please please!"

Lin Zhaoyan felt that it was probably what happened recently that made her suspicious. She suppressed her doubts and followed the little monk to the back mountain wing room.

It was very quiet along the way, and only the young monk who led the way said: "Because there was a Buddhist exchange meeting in Ji County, Tianjin, recently, many monks from many temples in Shengjing were invited to attend the discussion. The most monks were invited in Lingyun Temple. After everyone knew about it, fewer people have come to burn incense recently."

Lin Zhaoyan suddenly realized that she couldn't help but feel amused by her hesitation just now.

If I really went home because of this something wrong, I'm afraid that Lu would resent her again, then the two slaps I had before would be vain.

The wing room arrived soon, and it was a two-in-one spacious room. The furnishings in the room were exquisite. There was also a large red sandalwood carved bed next to the window on the west side.

Two pots of burning oleander are placed on the long table of mahogany beside them, with a faint fragrance blowing with the wind.

The little monk led them in and said goodbye and left.

Lin Zhaoyan stepped into the room and walked to the pineapple flower wood chair in the upper head and sat down.

Manshuang followed, picked up the blue and white porcelain teapot on the tea table next to her and poured her a cup of tea.

Lin Zhaoyan reached out to take it and took a sip.

It is the best Pu'er, sweet and smells a bit like coffee from later generations.

Lin Zhaoyan took a few more sips, and his body gradually became warmer due to the cold autumn wind.

"It's better to drink black tea when it's cold, but the monks in this temple are quite thoughtful."

"I have also prepared pastries." Manhua pointed to a stack of crispy and delicious red bean pastries on the table and asked Lin Zhaoyan, "Miss, you haven't used morning meal yet, do you want to eat a piece?"

Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, "I don't like sweets in the morning, I'm so fucked." He said, "If you want to eat, eat some. The autumn wind is cold, so drink a little tea to warm your body!"

Without the elders present, Lin Zhaoyan has always been very casual and has no sense of master and servant. The maids are used to getting along with Lin Zhaoyan casually. He did not refuse and consciously took the tea poured by Manshuang.

The tea is hot, and after a cup of it, it seems that even the limbs and bones are warmed up.

The few people waited for a while, but before they could wait for Liu, they only waited for Liu's confidant Nan Yan.

As soon as Nan Yan entered the room, he spoke apologetically, "It will take about half an hour for our wife to come and tell you about it when we encounter something."

Lin Zhaoyan was a little surprised. "What happened to my cousin's aunt?"

Nan Yan replied a little embarrassedly, "I can't disclose this."

Lin Zhaoyan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay. I will wait for my cousin's aunt here until she comes. Don't stay, go back!"

Nan Yan had no objection. He said a few words of apologies and left.

"What's the matter? It's so ridiculous. She called the girl and was silly." Manshuang was very dissatisfied. If it weren't for Liu Wenxuan, she would have pulled Lin Zhaoyan away long ago.

Even Manhua, who has always had a good temper, was a little dissatisfied and always felt that they were fooled by Lu.

Lin Zhaoyan's expression was faint, and he couldn't tell anything, so he said, "My second aunt is just angry with me and wants to neglect me."

In fact, she could understand Lu. On this day, even if she had transferred her hatred for her to Aunt Wan that day, she still felt resentful in her heart. It would be normal to use this method to give her a warning.

However, Lin Zhaoyan is not a fool. She doesn't know when Lu will come. She can't really wait here, so she said, "I'll go to Meilin, Houshan, and you guys will stay in the house. Manshuang, you can go with me. Manhua, if the second aunt comes, you can go to me in time."

Both Manshuang and Manhua knew that she was going to find Master Jingyi, and there was no objection.

Neither of the two big maids had any objection, and even if the other little maids felt that this was inappropriate, they couldn't say anything.

Lin Zhaoyan and Manshuang headed to the bamboo forest, and there were only a few maids left in the room. Oleander on the long mahogany swung with the wind, and the fragrance of flowers spread throughout the room.

☆★☆★☆★

The clouds return to the mountains, the flowers are speechless, the smoke flows across the forest, and the mountains sink to the distance.

Because there are few pilgrims, Lin Zhaoyan did not meet anyone along the way. She asked Manshuang to wait outside the Meilin, and she went to the Meilin.

Merlin today is much quieter than before.

The wind rustled through my ears, and the whole plum forest seemed to be isolated from the world, so quiet that it was almost strangely quiet.

The red ribbon tied to the plum tree beside her was woven by the wind and wrapped around her neck, with an itchy touch.

Lin Zhaoyan reached out to take it off and carefully tied a bow.

After tying, he tilted his head and looked at his own achievements, and couldn't help but curl his lips and smile.

I am really bored.

She stroked her top and skirt, walked towards the depths of the plum forest.

As we got closer and closer to the wooden house, we could vaguely hear someone coming from inside.

"So many years have passed, and I have long been used to it. This kind of life is very good, and I don't want to change anything." It was Master Jingyi's voice that was too tired.

Is there anyone else here?

Lin Zhaoyan was just wondering, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Since that's the case, I respect your wishes and will explain the situation to you when I come back from Jiangnan."

It's Xiao Qi.
