Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 17 A Trip to Wenshan Temple

Wenshan Temple?
Ning Erlan caught the message she wanted to convey from Zijin's words.

Walking into Ning Guoan's main room, he gave a little blessing. "My daughter greets her father."

"Get up."

"Miss San is here, master, this tea is cold."

Seeing that Ning Erlan ignored her directly after entering the room, Aunt Lin couldn't help being angry.But thinking of what happened next, she calmed down again.

"I don't know if Daddy asked his daughter to come over, but he has something to tell?" Not wanting to waste his tongue, Ning Erlan directly ignored Aunt Lin's words.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of October. Every year at this time, your grandmother will go to Wenshan Temple to burn incense. Aunt Lin said that the old lady made a special statement before leaving the mansion that this rule cannot be broken. Tomorrow you and Caixin will set off to Wenshan Temple. Go to the mountain temple, burn the first incense in the temple early in the morning on the [-]th, and pray for my Ning family."

"Yes, the third miss, the second miss was going to go with her, but who knows that she caught a cold two days ago, and the sixth young master is too young, so the master is worried. So I can only let the third and fifth misses work hard for a while. It's over." Aunt Lin came to Ning Erlan and took her hand, and said with a soft face.

Ning Erlan withdrew her hand calmly. "This is what Erlan and my younger sister should do. How can you say that you are not tired? It's Auntie, who is busy managing the affairs of the house all day long. It is normal for things to go wrong sometimes. I hope you don't care too much, Auntie. If you want to come to Dad And grandma won't blame you."

Ning Erlan's words reminded Ning Guoan of being asked for debts a few days ago. There were so many guards in the mansion but they couldn't fight against a few bullies. It was a shame to tell it.If it weren't for Aunt Lin's negligence in discipline, how could the Ning Mansion raise such a waste?

"The original guards of the outer courtyard were taken care of by the stewards of the outer courtyard, but you said you can manage them well, hmph, if it weren't for those bullies, I don't know, our Ning residence has always kept so many useless nonsense! From now on you Just don't worry about it, I will tell Director Lin of the Outer Court."

Aunt Lin didn't expect Ning Erlan to bring up this matter at this time.After being scolded by Ning Guoan, he just wanted to step forward and tear her apart.But with a look of shame on his face. "Yes, my concubine was negligent."

"You go back and prepare well, and leave early tomorrow morning." Ning Guoan didn't say any more, and he would go out of the house later.Today, Mo Heng changed his attitude towards him, and accepted his invitation to attend.This is a good thing.

Although Mo Heng's official position and rank are lower than Jiang Jing's, Mo Heng holds real power in his hands, which is different from Jiang Jing's vacant official position!
"Yes."

Ning Erlan walked slowly on the path paved with bluestone in Ning Mansion.Wenshan Temple is located on a mountain more than ten miles away from Shancheng City.Many people in Shancheng will go to the mountains to burn incense during the New Year and festivals, and the incense is considered strong.

It's just that what's the purpose of Aunt Lin's sudden mention of this at this time?Could it be that they have come up with some dirty tricks?
"Xinyue, let your maidservant come to my courtyard, and tell me that I bought some interesting things the day before yesterday and I want to bring them to my wife."

"Yes, ma'am."

All the way back to the courtyard, Ning Erlan took out a set of shining silver needles.This set of silver needles was made by her not long ago, and the tips of the needles are very sharp.

Then he took out a porcelain vase from the small drawer and soaked the silver one by one in the porcelain vase.

After doing everything, Xinyue also arrived with a few maidservants.

"Miss, the maidservant is back."

"come in."

Xinyue opened the curtain, and Shuangyue and Shuangxi came in dressed in light pink maid costumes.

"My servant greets the third lady."

"Get up. The two sisters have worked hard to serve your mother. These are some gadgets I bought outside. You can help me bring them to my mother."

Saying that, Xinyue took a tray, on which there were indeed many exquisite wooden combs and exquisite rouge boxes.

After taking the things, Xinyue let them put a purse in their arms. At first they were afraid to accept it, but after seeing Ning Erlan's eyes, they put the purse away again.

"Erlan knows that the two elder sisters are trustworthy by mother. Tomorrow I will go to Wenshan Temple to burn incense. During my absence, you should pay attention to these things, whether it is food or clothing. If there is anything The little ghost came out to make trouble, and he must report the truth when he comes back. Do you understand?"

"Yes, the servants know."

The reason why Ning Erlan explained cautiously was because she was afraid that something would happen to Aunt Lin when she was not in the mansion.

In the evening, after Wen knew that her two daughters were going to Wenshan Temple, she worriedly asked Ning Erlan to go and explain for a long time, and did not let them leave until she was really tired.

"Sister, are we going to burn incense tomorrow?" Ning Caixin, who had become more sensible during this time, blinked her round eyes and asked Ning Erlan.

"Well, go burn incense. Caixin, you take this porcelain vase, can you take it with you when you leave tomorrow?" Ning Erlan sent Ning Caixin to her room door, and took out a delicate small porcelain vase from her sleeve pocket into her hands.

"What's in here?"

"This is something that can punish bad people. If there are bad people who want to bully you in the future, you can sprinkle it on them."

As Ning Erlan spoke, she stuffed another pill that looked like candy into her mouth, which was the antidote to restrain the medicine in the bottle.

"Well, Caixin knows."

Early the next morning, Ning Erlan woke up early, whether it was because she was worried about the unknown or slept too early.Looking at the sky outside the window, the sky is still gray.

He closed his eyes and lay down for a while, and waited until the sky became brighter before he lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

After packing everything up and having breakfast.Ning Erlan took Ning Caixin to the gate of Ning Mansion.

Because it was relatively early, there were not many pedestrians on the street in front of the Ning Mansion Gate.

At Ning Erlan's request, Ning Guoan arranged for them a relatively ordinary carriage, which can accommodate five or six people.

Ning Erlan, Ning Caixin and their maids were sitting in the first carriage.A second, smaller carriage was used for their luggage.

"Sister, I have already carried the things you gave me yesterday." As soon as she got into the carriage, Ning Caixin whispered in front of Ning Erlan mischievously, she was afraid and patted her waist The small purse in the room was actually regarded as a treasure.

Ning Erlan was amused by her cute appearance, lightly tapped her forehead and said coquettishly: "You are clever, sit down quickly, don't fall down later."

The carriage moved slowly.In order to protect their safety, Ning Guoan asked three guards to escort them.Three guards, two grooms, plus maids and them, there are a total of nine people in the group, which can be considered light travel.

The carriage passed through the downtown area, walking smoothly all the way.Because she got up too early, Ning Caixin became sleepy after the initial excitement, and fell asleep not long after.

Ning Erlan also closed her eyes and meditated.

After about two hours, the carriage visibly became more trembling.

Ning Erlan opened her eyes and opened the car curtain to look out. There were no buildings around her, and she had a wide field of vision. Except for a pipeline that had not been buried by the wind and sand, there were no roads around.

I thought I should be out of town.

"Miss, we are already outside the city. We will go through the grove three miles away, and we will arrive at Wenshan Temple in a short time." Looking at Ning Erlan who put down the curtain cart, Xinyue said.

"En. Hurry up, and you can rest earlier." Not to mention, she was really tired after sitting in this carriage for a long time, and she was almost dizzy from shaking her head.

In this case, I can't read a book, so I can only continue to close my eyes and rest.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep like this.

"Bang Dang" sounded loudly.Ning Erlan only felt that she jumped up from the cushion, and she reacted extremely quickly to support Ning Caixin who was about to fall.

Ning Erlan lowered her face. "What's the matter?" Asked, he put on the veil and opened the car curtain.

He felt a bright light dazzled his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a big knife on the driver's neck.Ning Erlan frowned, and looked at the man holding the big knife with defensive and cold eyes.

Ning Erlan quickly observed the surrounding situation from the corner of her eye. Except for a looming official road, there were trees on both sides, and she could hardly see the outside situation.Evidently, they had entered the grove.

He secretly calculated that the other party had at least ten people, and the rest of his subordinates had already started fighting with the guards they brought.Originally, these few guards were not bad at all, but the opponent's advantage was that they had more people.

After a fight, he was still beaten and lay on the ground unable to move.

"You are in the carriage, don't come out, protect Miss Fifth." Ning Erlan lowered the curtain of the carriage and ordered in a cold voice.He himself jumped out of the carriage and confronted the bandit-like group of masked and sackclothed people.

"Who are you guys and what do you want to do?" Facing these people, Ning Erlan was also at a loss. After all, she only knew how to fight for self-defense, but she had no chance of winning if she fought so many alone.He couldn't help but clenched the silver needle hidden in his sleeve pocket.

A short man walked out of these men. Although his face was covered with a black cloth, Ning Erlan could still feel his wretched smile under the black cloth.

"Look, she is really a beautiful beauty. Hehe, beauty, don't be afraid. I'm here to make you happy today." While speaking, the wretched man stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to wipe the smear on Ning Erlan's face. The veil is taken down.

Ning Erlan's eyes froze, and she quickly avoided the man's hand.Pulled out a silver needle from the sleeve, and while waving the sleeve, accurately found the acupuncture point on the man's hand and stabbed it.

"Ah...it hurts..." the wretched man exhaled in pain.He shook his hand vigorously, but when he took a closer look, he couldn't see still He's wound.

"Grandma, what did you do to my young master! Today, my young master, I must play you to death!" The wretched man was obviously angry, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward aggressively to grab Ning Erlan.

The rest of them looked at them with malicious smiles, like they were watching a joke.

"Master, there is a carriage hijacked by bandits in front." In a relatively hidden place in front of the forest, a carriage with a low-key but gorgeous body decoration stopped.

A well-proportioned man in a gray suit, about twenty years away, reported inside the carriage.

"Is the road blocked? Is it possible for the carriage to pass?" This was a thick, slightly deep baritone voice, without the slightest extra emotion in the words.

"The carriage can pass." The man answered truthfully.

"Then move on."

"Yes." The man jumped to the driver's side, and the carriage moved forward slowly again.
