Beautiful woman

Fifteen miles outside Cangzhou City, there is a Three Mirrors Temple. It turns out that there are only two nuns practicing in it. The two nuns are old, and the Sanjing Temple is not very popular. The temple has been in disrepair for a long time and is already crumbling.

But not long ago, someone made a huge donation to renovate the Three Mirrors Temple inside and out, and also bought all the nearby fields.

Later, there were more than ten young bhikkhunis in the temple.

Huizhen is one of them.

Xiaoman, no, Complete Bhikshuni came out of the meditation room, her eyelids drooping slightly: "Donor, I'm sorry, Huizhen is doing homework and can't see the donor."

Qin Xiangxiang and Mu Ting stood outside the door.

It seems that Princess Huizhen doesn't want to see anyone.

Whatever. Qin Xiangxiang and Mu Ting walked out of Sanjing Temple and met Lu Shaoting.

Lu Shaoting is very different now. He looked like a woodcutter and wore short brown clothes, which made his body appear to be extremely long.

A few days ago, Lu Shaoting resigned from his official position as the commander of the Imperial City Division and stayed outside Sanjing Temple. He also bought a crumbling thatched hut to live out his life.

Qin Xiangxiang was surprised that he was willing to give up his identity as the commander of the Imperial City Division.

Lu Shaoting was quite frank: "Prince Mu, Madam Qin is here? If you have time, come and sit at my place."

Qin Xiangxiang and Mu Ting looked at each other and agreed: "Okay."

The thatched cottage has been repaired by Lu Shaoting, and its appearance has improved a lot. When I entered the house again, I saw that although it was simple, everything was clean.

Although there was no furniture in the room, there was a tea set.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoting is also a master of tea making.

"Before I became Imperial City Inspector, I was also a member of aristocratic families." Lu Shaoting said, "There are so many children of aristocratic families in the capital. If you want to climb up the ranks without relying on the influence of your ancestors, becoming Imperial City Inspector is the fastest way."

Qin Xiangxiang knew that the Lu family also had the merit of serving the dragon. Lu Shaoting's grandfather once served as a bachelor of Longtuge, but his father was white. Although his father was white, he did not have too many sons, and Lu Shaoting was only his fourth son. If he wanted to appear before the emperor, he had to be different.

Lu Shaoting must have had no choice but to become the Imperial City Inspector.

"Let's just atone for the things we did before." Lu Shaoting said.

He was probably referring to the incident of strangling Taifu Sun to death in the street.

Qin Xiangxiang took out a ten-guan banknote from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Lu Shaoting: "This is the money I paid to Lu Langjun to buy a handkerchief last time."

Lu Shaoting refused to answer: "No need, no need."

"Just think of it as a gift from a friend to congratulate you on your housewarming." Qin Xiangxiang put the banknote on the tea tray.

The Imperial City Chief Inspector has no friends.

Lu Shaoting looked stunned and accepted: "Thank you, Mrs. Qin. Let me make tea for you two and try my skills."

Even if Princess Huizhen can't be seen, Lu Shaoting is here every day, so it's a good idea to ask him.

"Bhikshuni Huizhen, she has never left the monastery since her ordination." Lu Shaoting said, "Two days ago, her two uncles got married and invited her, but she has never gone back."

The two brothers Pan Wenwu and Pan Wenyong finally became frightened.

Princess Huizhen converted to Buddhism and left all the property in Lane Twelve to her two uncles. The two uncles were considered wealthy people, and many young ladies were vying to marry them.

Therefore, Lu Shaoting could not see Bhikshuni Huizhen.

In fact, he wanted to see Princess Huizhen more than the two of them. His dirty thoughts towards Princess Huizhen at the beginning have now turned into waiting for her. She is in the temple, and he is accompanying her outside the temple. It can be regarded as a kind of mutual support.

Lu Shaoting was grinding tea skillfully. Although the thatched cottage was simple, it was very interesting because it was in the fields and looked out the window at the leisurely white clouds passing by slowly. As he was talking, suddenly there was a sound of wheels rolling on the road outside.

It can be heard that the vehicles coming here are carrying extremely heavy cargo.

Lu Shaoting stood up and glanced outside, looking a little surprised: "It's actually someone from my house?"

As he spoke, he frowned: "I obviously told Yang Kai not to talk about this matter."

Lu Shaoting gave all his skills to Yang Kai, who returned to Beijing and was promoted to commander.

"Both of you, please wait a moment." Lu Shaoting said and walked out.

Three cars came from the Lu family, and they all seemed to be carrying very heavy things.

"Old slave, please give my regards to Mr. Shiro." A man in his fifties jumped out of the carriage, wearing silk clothes and looking like a steward, and said his regards to Lu Shaoting.

Lu Shaoting was helpless: "What are you doing here?"

"Young Master Shiro, you don't know. The eldest wife is thinking about Mr. Shiro at home. She doesn't think about food and food all day long, and she has lost weight several times. That's why the eldest master ordered this old slave to visit Mr. Shiro."

"Come here, why do you bring so many things? I can't fit them in this thatched house." Lu Shaoting said.

The steward of the Lu family had a grimace on his face: "Silang-kun, these things are all from your yard. The elder said that since you are not coming back and no one wants these things, he will bring them to you. Silang-kun, can you Don’t let this old slave take you back again. It’s such a long journey and half of my life is almost gone.”

Lu Shaoting was helpless: "Then let it go."

"Old slave, I obey!" The manager of the Lu family happily waved to the others, as if he was afraid that Lu Shaoting would regret it and unloaded the things.

Qin Xiangxiang and Mu Ting walked out to watch the excitement. Lu Shaoting introduced the Lu family manager: "These are my two friends."

The steward of the Lu family saluted Qin Xiangxiang and Mu Ting: "Old slave, I would like to pay my respects to the young lady, Mr. Lang."

"No need to be polite." Qin Xiangxiang and Mu Ting said in unison.

The steward of the Lu family saw that the two of them were very close to each other, showing a kind of intimacy when they walked, and said in a very casual manner: "You two are really talented and beautiful."

Mu Ting smiled and said, "Thank you, old man." He was not humble at all.

Qin Xiangxiang secretly laughed in her heart. She and Mu Ting were not as good as talented men and beautiful women. But since Mu Ting received the praise from others, she couldn't refute it.

The Lu family brought more than ten wooden boxes. Even Lu Shaoting felt a little dizzy after seeing it: "Uncle Fool, how can there be so many things in my yard?"

The foolish uncle said: "The eldest wife saw that she was really shabby, so she bought it for you."

Lu Shaoting said nothing this time. His mother was exhausted mentally and physically from taking care of his marriage. This time he simply refused to go home, and his mother must have been very sad. If she wanted to buy him something, it was just a mother's thought for her son.

Mu Ting noticed the complicated patterns on the wooden box, which he seemed to have seen somewhere.

He frowned slightly and whispered to Qin Xiangxiang: "I seem to have seen the pattern on the box somewhere."

Qin Xiangxiang also whispered: "This is the family emblem of the Lu family. You see, there is the Chinese character "Lu" in seal script inside, and the pattern of Baoxiang flowers is embedded on the outside. Every century-old noble family in the capital will design something like this. Family emblem. You saw it accidentally when you were in the capital."

Mu Ting nodded. Indeed, when he was in the capital, many carriages had such family crests.

The two were talking when they suddenly saw Uncle Yu leading a young lady to Lu Shaoting: "Xiu Niang, please pay your respects to Mr. Silang quickly."

Xiu Niang looked shy, glanced at Lu Shaoting shyly, and saluted gently: "Xiu Niang pays your respects to Mr. Si Lang."

Lu Shaoting looked at Xiu Niang dumbfounded: "What on earth is going on?"

The foolish uncle smiled and put all the responsibility on the eldest lady: "Silangjun, this is arranged by the eldest lady. The eldest lady also said that if Silangjun is dissatisfied with Xiu Niang, the old slave does not need to take her back to the capital. He will directly take her to the capital. She can just sell it."
