Chapter 050: Doubt

Danqing continued: "I heard that there were three roads up the mountain, a southeastern avenue, which was very spacious and carriages; the southwest was specially designed for devout believers to climb up the mountain; the last one was the path in front of you."

Lan Yi sneered: "Didn't the eldest lady come to Longhua Temple a few days ago? I don't believe she doesn't know that the road is being repaired, but she didn't give a reminder. No, I have to check whether the carriage is safe."

If the eldest lady deliberately did not remind the girl that the road was being repaired, Lan Yi had to doubt whether she would do something in the carriage and let something happen to the girl on the way up the mountain.

Chu Xinyu understood what she meant. She was afraid that she would alert the snake, so she grabbed her hand and said, "She is not a stupid person. She will not tamper with her in the carriage, nor will she take my life. If something happened to me like this, she would be the first person to be suspected. The reason why she asked me to go to Longhua Temple to burn incense at this time is that her purpose is probably not to want me to attend the Hundred Flowers Feast, and then she would like to delay my return home."

Since Yuan asked her not to interact with Yang Qianjun, Chu Xinyu had already guessed her plan. In addition, the coachman seemed to have known that the road could not be walked, otherwise he would not have said that it would take an hour to go up the mountain. If he walked the road, it would probably be half an hour at most.

Lan Yi thought about it carefully and felt that her words had some truth. Her reason came back instantly. She said, "I will pay attention to them." It means Xiangmei coachman and four guards who followed her.

Xiangmei and the coachman came back, and Xiangmei was holding a pot of water and a bag of things in her hand. She went up the carriageway: "Girl, I bought some chestnuts and water. The road ahead of the mountain can eat something to pass."

Lan Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiangmei, but my girl has prepared water and snacks. You can distribute these to the coachman and guards."

After Chu Xinyu reminded me just now, Lan Yi quickly realized that she should not show her emotions on her face. Therefore, she changed her previous coldness and called Xiangmei sister. Xiangmei thought that they had figured it out and came to curry favor with her, but she didn't think much about it.

They were quickly lined up the mountain. The road on the trail was winding and rugged, and the carriage was driving very slowly. It made people feel uncomfortable when it was bumpy. Lan Yi could hold on to this bump, but Chu Xinyu and Danqing were different. They were dizzy and swelled by the bumps, and Xiangmei even had her stomach rolling over.

The group finally arrived at Longhua Temple. At that time, the sun was setting, and the orange-red sunset enveloped Longhua Temple. The top of the temple seemed to be coated with a layer of golden glow, solemn, solemn and sacred.

When the carriage stopped, Xiangmei couldn't care about the difference between master and servant. She lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, ran to the side and vomited wildly, almost spitting out all the chestnuts she had eaten in the car at noon and before.

Danqing was fine, she was just a little dizzy and had a little discomfort in her stomach, but she didn't want to vomit.

"Girl, let me help you get out of the car." Lan Yi looked worried and reached out to help Chu Xinyu up.

Chu Xinyu blocked Lan Yi's hand, and then blinked at her cunningly. She was not as depressed as before.

Lan Yi immediately came over and shouted loudly to the outside: "Miss, don't scare me, don't faint!"

After the Xiangmei vomited, she smelled the sandalwood floating out of the temple. Not only did she feel a little better in her stomach, but her spirit also recovered a lot. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth when she heard Lan Yi's shouting. She hurriedly put away her handkerchief and ran to the carriage.

At this time, Lan Yi had already helped Chu Xinyu get off the carriage, and Danqing carried the bag and then came down. When she smelled the sandalwood floating out of the temple, she felt better.

"Girl, are you okay?" Xiangmei asked.

Chu Xinyu turned the gravity of his body towards Lan Yi, shook his head weakly and said, "I'll sit for a while. Go and ask if the monk Zhike still has a yard or a temple?"

Seeing her listless look, Xiangmei nodded and took a guard into the temple.

The place they are now in is the main entrance square of Longhua Temple, where there are many carriages, all of which are parked in an orderly manner.

With the help of Lan Yi and Danqing, Chu Xinyu sat on the stone bench on the side. He looked up and saw a long stone staircase. Upwards was the towering temple, which was majestic and awe-inspiring.

Surrounded by mountains, lush jungle, and the vague fireworks accompanied by bells and drums, the sound of wooden fish beating and chanting Buddha's name and chanting scriptures was faintly heard, which made people feel refreshed.

The coachman came over and said, "Girl, I'll stop the carriage over there."

Chu Xinyu nodded gently: "Go."

The coachman left for a while and saw Xiangmei coming back with the guard, "Girl, get a yard, let's go."

After speaking, she turned around to lead the way, while Lan Yi and Danqing supported Chu Xinyu and followed him.

Instead of going up the steps to the temple, they walked around the steps to the path next to it. After passing through the small bamboo forest, they saw a large lotus pond. Weeping willows were planted all over the lotus pond. There was an arch bridge in the middle. After stepping over the arch bridge, they saw a Yuedong Gate, with the forehead saying "South of Jingyou Garden".

When I went in, I saw a row of groups of rooms. There was a hand-copying veranda on the side of the group, leading to the back of the group.

A young monk about ten years old came up, folded his hands together, and said respectfully: "Amitabha, Master Chu, please come with me."

Chu Xinyu folded his hands together and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my master!"

The little monk then saw her face clearly and was instantly lost his mind. He didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful person in the world. When he smiled, he seemed to be the clouds in the sky, which were particularly gorgeous and dazzling.

"My little master, lead the way." Lan Yi knew that the little monk had not moved, and she knew that he was fascinated by the girl. She wanted to tease him, but she thought that this was a Buddhist holy land and stopped him.

The little monk felt that he was disobedient and quickly reacted, so he took Chu Xinyu and the other two to the hand-copying corridor. It turned out that behind the group room was an independent Sanhe courtyard, which had a main room and a east-west wing room. They were taken to the east wing room.

"The donor takes a break, and someone will send you vegetarian food to you." After the little monk said that, he turned around and left, and Lan Yi followed him out.

Chu Xinyu looked at the lower east wing room. The south room was the bedroom, and the middle and north rooms were connected to each other. All the furniture was high-quality mahogany. She walked to the window and pushed the window open. She happened to see a woman dressed in a maid in the front room diagonally opposite and walked out to the west wing room opposite.

Xiangmei said, "You are tired, I'll go and get hot water to clean you." Seeing Chu Xinyu turn around and nod, she then looked at Danqing and said, "Come and help me."

At this time, Lan Yi came back and saw that there was tea on the table, so she took out a silver needle and put it in the kettle to try it. Seeing that nothing happened, she poured a cup of tea for Chu Xinyu.

"Girl, I went out for a walk and found that the rooms here were full of people. When I went out, I caught up with the monk and asked. He said that everyone who stayed in the temple had to book in advance, but we didn't make a reservation, but Xiangmei got the wing room here in such a short time."

Chu Xinyu took the cup and sat down, and smiled, "You want to tell me that this room was not actually what Xiangmei just got, but had booked it long ago."

Lan Yi nodded vigorously, "And Xiangmei is very familiar with this place, obviously not the first time she has been here."

Chu Xinyu drank a sip of tea. The taste of the tea was bitter and sweet, and the sweet and cool, which was a good cup of tea. Then he raised his head slightly and drank the rest. Fang said: "She is the eldest lady's most capable maid. No matter where the eldest lady goes, she will definitely take her with her. If the eldest lady is a regular visitor here, do you think she is not familiar with it?"

“So this room…”

After hearing what Chu Xinyu said, Lan Yi suddenly thought of something. Chu Xinyu nodded slightly at her, "When she hasn't come back, go and ask who lives opposite."

Lan Yi went out for a while and came back and said, "I asked the maid opposite him and said it was the old lady and the second lady of the Changping Marquis' Mansion."

Chu Xinyu, the Changping Hou family? The second wife of the Changping Hou family was the woman with the longest tongue in Jinjing City, and she had a good personal relationship with Yuan. Her daughter was once one of her playmates, but now she lives in the same courtyard with them. Is it intentional or a coincidence?
