"Are you worried about my safety?" Yang Yan smiled sweetly, her clear and bright eyes shone with a sly light.

"Isn't it?" Han Rui asked back: "Royal family members, powerful ministers, honored relatives, who are not high-ranking officials and wealthy, and you are just a girl of ordinary people."

Yang Yan pursed her lips and said, "So what, as long as I'm with you, even a poor village girl is worth it."

"You..." Han Rui was speechless, and a strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart, why did he become a heartless and ungrateful person.

Yang Yan blinked her eyes and said: "Don't feel guilty, it's my father's fault too... Before my mother died, she told me that she wanted me to hold on to you and let me live happily ever after at all costs."

Han Rui nodded lightly. Yang Yan's parents were ordinary people, but for her happiness, they would rather take the risk of becoming enemies with important court officials.

While being moved, Han Rui said solemnly: "Yan'er, don't worry, I will make you happy."

"Yeah." Yang Yan smiled lightly, her dimple was like a flower, as bright as the sun, gorgeous and colorful, which made Han Rui's heart skip a beat.

Yang Yan stuck out her tongue playfully, and said with a playful smile: "Han Lang, I have to hurry, you should go back quickly."

Reluctantly, Han Rui gave a few instructions before returning to the inn. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Zhou Lin sitting in the gazebo, enjoying tea leisurely.

"Brother-in-law, have you eaten yet?" Zhou Lin smiled lightly, "If not, I'll ask the guy to bring over some food and wine."

"Thank you." Han Rui smiled, walked over, sat down on the stone bench, took a sip of hot water, and joked, "What are you doing here so late?"

Zhou Lin pursed her red lips lightly, snorted, and said angrily, "You still have the nerve to say that I was severely scolded by my parents, thinking that I escaped halfway and annoyed them."

"What's going on?" Han Rui asked, feeling rather apologetic in his heart. He shouldn't have taken Zhou Lin out to play, and he shouldn't have taken her to a temple fair, otherwise he wouldn't have encountered such a disaster.

"I..." Zhou Lin opened her mouth to speak, and suddenly remembered that she and Han Ruifei were not related, how could she leak this secret, and hurriedly changed her words: "I was staying in the house, but suddenly I heard a noise coming from outside. I thought something was wrong, so I ran out to find out... Hey, didn't you go to the Yang Mansion?"

"That's right." Han Rui explained frankly, "However, I just went to see Concubine Yang, and I didn't see her."

"I came back without seeing it, and I didn't know to stay for a meal." Zhou Lin scolded: "I almost thought you sneaked away."

"Are you blaming me for taking you to parade?" Han Rui said with a smile, "I'll apologize."

"Hum, it's good that you know." Zhou Lin stared and said, "I'm a rich man, if I accompany you to see other people's jokes and spread them, do you want my reputation?"

"Then what should we do?" Han Rui said with a smile, "Otherwise, you promise with your body."

"Dream." Zhou Linjiao said with a smile: "I'm not that cheap."

Han Rui helplessly spread his hands, expressing his distrust.

Seeing his lazy appearance, Zhou Lin couldn't stop laughing, and covered her mouth with a chuckle. After a while, she restrained her smile and said in a deep voice, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Although I haven't been to the palace, I know a little bit about the customs. Humanity, the so-called timidity of being close to the country, refers to this situation, we should pay homage to the dead mother's body, maybe it can stimulate the memory of Concubine Yang."

Han Rui frowned, hesitating a little, whether it was in accordance with the etiquette to do so, if it failed, Concubine Yang's memory did not recover, it might cause the Yang family's wrath.

Zhou Lin smiled brightly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, since the Yang family promised to help, they will never break their word. Besides, Concubine Yang has been dead for 20 years, and her soul has long since dissipated. Attack power, we have every chance to awaken her consciousness, just cooperate as much as you can."

"Do you think the Yang family can awaken Concubine Yang's consciousness?" Han Rui asked suspiciously, "Where did you hear that Concubine Yang is a royal family member and favorite concubine?"

Zhou Lin smiled and said: "The Yang family also has a mansion in the capital. The old grandpa of the Yang family is said to be a hero who founded the country and is deeply respected by the emperor. Concubine Yang is the only granddaughter of the old grandpa Yang. After the death of the old grandpa Yang, Concubine Yang Excessive grief, trance, and finally died of depression."

"So, she died of illness." Han Rui suddenly realized.

"It didn't die of illness, it should have committed suicide." Zhou Lin shook her head, her tone was firm, and continued: "Mr. When Concubine Yang passed away, she was still very young, so she didn't know the origin of Concubine Yang."

Han Rui was silent, thinking carefully, who is Concubine Yang, why did she choose to commit suicide? Could it be that there is some hidden secret... Thinking about it, a thought appeared in Han Rui's mind, and he was shocked, and quickly waved it away. Wild idea.

Seeing Han Rui's abnormal behavior, Zhou Lin asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay." Han Rui shook his head, changed the subject and said, "How do you know so much? Where did you hear it?"

"Of course I heard it from my grandfather." Zhou Lin chuckled and said, "You too, every time you mention Concubine Yang, you always avoid talking about it. I really don't understand. Have you forgotten her existence?"

"Uh, no..." Han Rui sneered, waved his hands and said, "Sir, I only talked about it once in a while in lectures. I didn't specifically mention it, so as not to bring back memories of the past."

"Oh." Zhou Lin was thoughtful, but didn't get to the bottom of it.

In due course, the waiter brought over the food, and Han Rui greeted him, asking Zhou Lin to use it slowly, while he himself took the chopsticks and started eating.

Zhou Lin was also welcome, and enjoyed her lunch happily.

The two chatted while eating, and soon, Zhou Lin was full, put down the dishes, raised her wrist to look at her watch, and said in surprise: "It's already late, the sun has set."

Han Rui looked out of the window, the setting sun was setting, and the sunset was like fire, magnificent and colorful, dyeing the whole sky red, glowing red, like a burning flame, gorgeous and eye-catching, admirable, Han Rui smiled and said: "Time flies so fast, It's nighttime in no time."

"The moonlight is very good tonight." Zhou Lin said enthusiastically, "Let's go watch the moon and stars, shall we?"

"Appreciating the moon, no problem." Han Rui readily agreed, and then asked, "By the way, is there a temple near here?"

Zhou Lin frowned, and said hesitantly, "About 500 meters away from here, there is a Qingliang Temple where incense is very strong."

Han Rui's eyes sparkled, and he was eager to try, "Would you like to join in the fun?"

Zhou Lin hesitated, Han Rui urged: "Forget it, I'd better find another place, so as not to disturb the purity of the Buddha."

"Don't go." Zhou Lin hurriedly asked to stay: "Anyway, it's still early, let's go over and visit an acquaintance by the way."

"Who is it?" Han Rui asked casually.

"I'll tell you when we get there." Zhou Lin smiled like a flower, tugged Han Rui's sleeve, and dragged him out.

Unknown why, Han Rui followed Zhou Lin out of the inn, walked along the bluestone path, bypassed the bustling area of ​​the market, and after walking for a certain distance, came to Qingliang Temple.

Qingliang Temple was built next to the lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and built against the lake. The architectural style is simple and elegant. There is a lantern hanging at the door, reflecting the quiet scenery.

Qingliang Temple is a three-story building with carved beams and painted buildings, surrounded by ancient trees, and the courtyard is winding and secluded.

Han Rui was stunned for a moment, then he became joyful, and said with a smile: "So it's here, the acquaintance you mentioned, wouldn't it be an eminent monk in the temple?"

"You're right." Zhou Lin pursed her lips and smiled, her pretty face was glowing, her eyes were looking forward, showing a bit shy but also looking forward to it.

Han Rui chuckled, stepped into the temple, walked through a quiet alleyway, and came to the main hall of Qingliang Temple. He saw that the main hall was spacious and spacious, and the Buddha statues enshrined were lifelike, solemn and solemn. On the left and right, on the walls, there are various Buddha statues hanging.

At this time, in the main hall, there were two men standing under the Buddha statue, discussing something in a low voice. The appearance of Han Rui and Zhou Lin immediately attracted their attention. They stopped talking and looked over.

Sensing the scrutiny of the two, Zhou Lin was a little nervous, and secretly clenched her slender saber.

Han Rui was calm, walked over slowly, cupped his hands and said, "The poor monk's surname is Han, and his name is..."

"I recognize you. You are the young gentleman who came to the temple yesterday to ask for a lottery." A burly man said with a smile, "Why, I'm not going to release the lottery."

"I..." Han Rui just wanted to answer, when he suddenly felt a sense of oppression hit his face, he couldn't help trembling, his heart palpitations were hard to calm down, and his forehead was sweating, but he gritted his teeth and kept calm, smiling: "I don't know two What is the name of the master, waiting here, can you give me any advice."

The two men looked at each other, and the fatter one said calmly, "My humble servant, Chen Shancheng, is the abbot and chief guard of Qingliang Temple."

"My name is Chen Shanwu, and I'm also the guard of Qingliang Temple." The thin man had an arrogant attitude.

Han Rui nodded slightly, and said with a pleasant smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you. What can you tell me, but please speak up. If you can do it, don't refuse."

"Don't dare." Chen Shancheng said with a light smile: "We are just ordered to protect the safety of the lady, and there is no other meaning. You can do whatever you want, and you don't need to worry about anything."

Han Rui blinked his eyes, and he was even more convinced that he must have guessed correctly, but since they said there was no malice, they were naturally happy and relaxed, smiled, and wanted to take Zhou Lin away from Qingliang Temple, so as not to get in the way of bad feelings Refused, unexpectedly Chen Shanwu stopped him and said with a smile: "You two benefactors, please stay."

"En." Han Rui was a little vigilant, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Is there something wrong with you two?"

"We want to invite the two of you to watch the moon. I don't know Brother Han, what do you think?" Chen Shanwu asked.

"This..." Han Rui hesitated, thinking whether this reason was sufficient.

At this moment, Zhou Lin gently tugged at the corner of Han Rui's clothes, signaling Han Rui not to refuse, and said calmly, "Thank you for your invitation, then we'd better obey orders than be respectful."

"Welcome both of you." Chen Shancheng smiled.

Han Rui nodded without hesitation, turned around first, and walked out of the gate. Zhou Lin followed behind him, and the two guards also followed.

"Amitabha."

Suddenly, a crisp and melodious Buddha's chant was heard, and everyone turned their heads to follow the sound. On the steps of Qingliang Temple, a white and graceful figure came lightly, standing gracefully, graceful and black With beautiful hair in a bun, wearing a golden silk phoenix crown, seven treasures and pearl hairpins on her head, wearing a goose yellow palace dress, an embroidered handkerchief around her waist, and cloud shoes on her feet, her demeanor is dignified and elegant, and she is extremely glamorous.

For a moment, Han Rui was dazed and dumbfounded.

"Wow!" Zhou Lin also exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."

"You know each other." Chen Shancheng said in amazement, and immediately felt relieved. After all, Han Rui and Zhou Lin were old acquaintances. It is normal for them to be a little surprised when they meet each other.

Han Rui recovered, coughed dryly, and said vaguely, "Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

"Accompany me to Qingliang Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings." Zhou Lin said softly, "What about you?"

Han Rui hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's about the same."

"What a coincidence." Zhou Lin whispered, "Then let's pray together."

"Okay." Han Rui readily agreed, then turned around and said, "You two, please—"

The two guards followed one after another, while Chen Shancheng and Chen Shanwu, the abbots of Qingliang Temple, followed silently without speaking.

When the four came to the Great Hall, Chen Shancheng clasped his palms together, recited the Buddha's name, and said reverently: "Amitabha, you are so good."

After that, Chen Shanwu also bowed and said reverently: "Ani Tuo Buddha."

After the two finished the etiquette, Chen Shancheng smiled warmly and asked, "You two, what school do you belong to?"

"My father taboos Lin Hai." Han Rui smiled and said, "I'm not good at learning art, so I can only be called Jiangnan Loose Cultivator."

"It turned out to be Master Lin's son, disrespectful, disrespectful." Chen Shancheng was stunned, and asked again: "I heard that Master Lin has been dead for decades, why did you not obey the mourning and filial piety, and came to the capital?"

"Oh, don't mention it, to be honest, half a month ago, my father died of illness. Before he died, he asked me to fulfill his last wish and come to Qingliang Temple to offer incense and pray for the safety of his late father." Han Rui grieved. Extremely, tears welled up in the circles of his eyes.

This is the truth, although not all the words were said, but the few people present understood the reason.

Chen Shancheng frowned, and asked with concern: "How did Master Lin die?"

"Killed to death by a traitor." Han Rui said angrily, "The revenge of killing one's father is irreconcilable."

Uh, Chen Shanwu was stunned, couldn't help laughing, smiled, and comforted him: "Master Lin, Izumi knows, maybe I hope you can find the murderer and avenge your blood hatred as soon as possible, so don't be too sad."

"Auspicious words from you two." Han Rui wiped his eyes, squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "Let's talk about business, I came to the temple to offer incense today, not only to pay tribute to my father, but also to take a look at the temple. landscape."

Qingliang Temple covers a vast area, with rockery pavilions, flowers and ponds, especially the tall and straight peaks, exotic flowers and trees, lush green shade, clear rivers winding, and occasional clouds, just like a fairyland. People are dazzled.

Not only that, after visiting the temple for a while, he found that the mountain stream was rippling and clear to the bottom, which was very nourishing for the heart and soul, and Han Rui was amazed. After he finished admiring, he remembered the business and hurriedly bid farewell, ready to leave.

At this moment, a monk came in a hurry. When he saw Han Rui, he smiled and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, the poor monk is ordered by the master abbot to invite you to have a meal in the fasting room and express your heart."

"This..." Han Rui hesitated. (end of this chapter)
