The monks at Daling Temple are very approachable, and even the young novice monks are extremely friendly towards pilgrims. Forsythia went to inquire about information several times and everything went smoothly. Google search reading

This is different from what Zeng Liang said. Zeng Liang said that it was not easy for them to get information.

Su Xinyi thought about the weirdness here. Zeng Liang had cooperated with her many times, and they couldn't be said to know each other's ins and outs, but that would not lead to malicious deception. His words should be true.

But Forsythia was indeed not hindered from inquiring about information in the temple. What is wrong with this?

Su Xinyi thought for a while and saw a little novice monk in front of her hurriedly walking up the mountain. She signaled Forsythia to stay and chased after him.

"Little Master, please wait a moment."

The little novice monk who was walking in front paused for a moment, turned around and looked at Su Xinyi who was catching up and gave a salute, "Female donor, is there anything you need help with?"

Su showed an innocent and joyful smile in his heart and nodded, "I have something I want to ask the little master. Is it convenient for the little master?"

"Female donor, please tell me, but the young monk doesn't know much, so I'm afraid he won't be able to help the female donor." The young novice monk said with an embarrassed smile.

Su Xinyi immediately said: "It doesn't matter. The young master is indeed a monk and is really compassionate. That's the case. I heard from my friend that your temple has the art of supporting the shackles, so I want to ask the young master if it is true?" Su Xinyi deliberately lowered his voice here, showing a bit of coquettishness, "Little Master, don't tell others, I want to ask about marriage."

The little novice monk paused for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Female donor, I don't know much about the divination matters, and I don't care about these things. However, parents have the final say in matters of marriage, and it is better for the female donor to listen to the words of her elders. good."

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked carefully at the little novice monk's expression. Seeing that he was speaking seriously and not just trying to trick her, she suddenly changed her mind and said with a bit of embarrassment, "I know the little master is doing it for my own good." , it’s just that I heard from my friend that the technique of supporting the quill is very effective, so I wanted to try to see if that person is my beloved. "Little Master, can you help me?"

The young novice shook his head hurriedly, "Female donor, please forgive me if I don't know how to do this. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Su Xinyi looked at the little novice monk with a very strange look, and immediately said, "Little master, I sincerely want to hold the altar and ask for divination, please help me."

The little novice took a step back, and the smile on his face became a little stiff. "Female donor, I really can't help you with this matter. I don't know the art of holding a ji. If you really want to ask for divination, you'd better go to the main hall at the foot of the mountain and ask other questions." People."

After the little novice monk finished speaking, he turned around and ran away as fast as if there was a dog chasing him behind him.

Su Xinyi chuckled lightly. This little monk was a bit interesting, and seeing that the direction the little monk was heading to was a remote place in the temple, he thought that the place he came to take charge of was not a lucrative place.

Although the temple is the domain of monks, there are also status differences in the temple. The young monk said before that he would obey his parents' arrangements. This was not a roundabout way of telling himself that there was something fishy about the art of holding a ji.

It’s just that the young monk probably didn’t know much, or he was too afraid to say anything.

Su Xinyi felt that the art of supporting the si was so magical. Before, it was just a little suspicion of hers. But now looking at the little monk's expression, she felt that her idea might really be right.

The cold wind carried the snowflakes and slowly fell from the air. It was snowing.

Su Xinyi stretched out her hand, and white and crystal snowflakes fell on her palm. Although there was no big gain, it could not be said that there was no gain. She counted the time and started to walk back.

Forsythia hurriedly followed, "Girl, go back, it's snowing."

Su Xinyi nodded and walked down the mountain. When he was halfway up the mountain, he saw a group of people coming up the mountain from a distance. The first one was a lady in Chinese clothes. The man supporting him was tall and wearing a light blue robe. I couldn't see his face clearly from a distance, but I could tell that the man was holding the lady carefully.

Su Xinyi walked a few steps and suddenly looked back. No wonder she felt that the lady was kind-hearted. It turned out to be Madam Marquis Changnan whom she had met once in her previous life.

Then the person beside her must be the eldest son Dong Zhiwei. This man is a filial son. He has servants around him and he also supports his mother personally.

She took Forsythia to a dark place and saw Mrs. Changnanhou who didn't know what she was talking about. Dong Zhi slightly bent down to listen. A woman next to her caught up and held up an umbrella. Dong Zhiwei reached out to take the umbrella and held it with one hand. , supporting Mrs. Changnanhou with one hand.

Su Xinyi watched them walking towards the courtyard where they settled, and she stopped delaying and quickly took a shortcut back first.

As soon as she walked in, Su Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sending people out to find you. I don't remember the time when I'm playing."

Su Xinyi blinked at Su Jingmo, "Fourth sister, don't be surprised. I was just curious and went to the mountain to see the lotus and koi pond."

Su Jingmo's eyes lit up and she immediately pulled Su Xinyi inside, "Auntie, our Xiaoliu is here. Look at this monkey-like person. He runs outside in the cold weather and is very resistant to the cold."

Su Xinyi:......

Su Xinyi hurriedly took off her big cloak and hung it up for Forsythia. She straightened her shirt and skirt, and saw a woman with kind eyebrows sitting opposite the eldest lady. She wore a rust-red braid with a pattern on the breast, a dark horse-faced skirt, and a comb-over on her hair. A big bun with a pair of gold hairpins of red gold and precious stones. When he saw Su Xinyi come in to greet her, he stretched out his hand to lift her up, held her hand and said, "Oh, I have been hearing from Jingmo all day long that our family's Xiao Liu, my family's Liu Sister, I finally met someone today. She is such a good girl. She is good-looking and has bright eyes. No wonder Jingmo likes her. I liked her very much as soon as I saw her. "

Su Xinyi's face immediately turned red when she was praised. No one had ever praised her so openly.

Seeing Su Xinyi blushing, the eldest lady became happy and said, "Xinyi, this is the aunt of the Xiang family. You can just call her after your fourth sister."

Su Xinyi said hurriedly: "Auntie is fine."

"Hey." Mrs. Xiang was obviously prepared. She gave Su Xinyi a jade bracelet with a very beautiful color and put it on her wrist. "Let's play with it, my aunt's little thought."

When Su Xinyi saw the bracelet, he knew it was of good quality and valuable, so he looked at the first lady and the third lady.

The third lady then said: "Just keep it if I give it to you. Your aunt's family is well-off, so don't worry."

It was rare for Su Xinyi to see the third lady being so funny, so she saluted Mrs. Xiang and thanked her, "Thank you, aunt."

"Hey, good boy, sit down and warm yourself up. It's freezing outside. Girls, don't go out and play for too long. It's not good for your health."

"Yes, I remember it." Su Xinyi smiled.

She would accept the kindness of her elders, and one could tell that Mrs. Xiang was really a very kind person.

No wonder Su Jingmo likes her aunt so much, and no wonder the third lady, who is covered in thorns, is so relieved knowing that it was Madam Xiang who arranged the marriage.

After saying this, the mother-in-law came in and replied, "Madam, Madam Changnanhou and the Crown Prince have arrived."

"Please come quickly." The eldest lady immediately stood up and went to greet her. The third lady and Madam Xiang also followed, and the two juniors, Su Xinyi and Su Jingmo, also hurriedly followed.

When the curtain was lifted, Su Xinyi saw that the people who came in were indeed the group she saw in the snow. She lowered her head slightly and listened to the eager greetings of several elders.

After everyone had exchanged greetings, the eldest lady introduced Su Jingmo and Su Xinyi to Madam Changnanhou. Madam Changnanhou's eyes fell on Su Jingmo, with a gentle smile on her face, and then she took another look. Su Xinyi couldn't help but smile and said: "The girl from your house is really quiet and elegant. I liked her at first sight."

Su Jingmo felt slightly relieved when he heard this, and then realized that his palms were wet.

Su Xinyi secretly observed Dong Zhiwei, and saw that Dong Zhiwei's eyes mostly fell on Su Jingmo, and he just glanced at her.

Su Xinyi was very satisfied. She could distinguish the importance and knew who she should look at. A man who knows how to measure is always popular.

Dong Zhiwei took a step forward and said, "I have met the two sisters."

Su Xinyi looked at Su Jingmo's red face and felt that the marriage was possible. He stretched out his hand to poke her quietly, and then greeted Dong Zhiwei. Su Jingmo hurriedly followed Weiwei.

Everyone sat down separately, and Mrs. Changnan Hou said with a smile: "I really didn't expect snow to fall today. I just walked all the way from the temple, but I feel that the incense in Daling Temple is more prosperous than before."

Mrs. Xiang said: "My wife and the prince are keeping filial piety for their elders in their hometown. Naturally, they don't know the changes in the capital in recent years. The year before last, your majesty came to Daling Temple to offer incense. Since then, Daling Temple has vaguely become the number one temple in the capital. The incense is indeed very strong.”

Su Xinyi didn't know about this, but he listened carefully when the adults talked about these things.

The eldest lady smiled and said: "I don't know anything else, but the masters of Daling Temple are very good at reciting sutras. Sometimes when I feel upset, I can calm down by listening to a volume of sutras. I still like the masters reciting sutras very much. Every year I would also copy Buddhist scriptures and offer them to the Buddha.”

Su Jingmo was not interested in these things and poked Xiao Liu with his finger.

Su Xinyi turned his head to look at her slightly, but Su Jingmo did not dare to say anything.

Su Xinyi laughed in her heart and stood up and said: "Auntie, I thought that the eldest brother of the Dong family might not have been to Daling Temple for a long time. My sister and I took him out for a walk. The five-petal lotus koi pond above was frozen. Afterwards, it was fun to watch the swarms of koi fish swimming under the ice.”

Several elders knew this and couldn't help but smile at each other, and the eldest lady said: "Go, go, be careful."

Mrs. Changnan Hou immediately told her son, "Take good care of the two sisters, and be careful not to fall."

After sending a few juniors out, Mrs. Changnan Hou looked at everyone and said with a smile: "The girls in the house are really well raised. The fourth girl is calm and the sixth girl is smart. They are all lovable."

The third lady felt comfortable when she heard this. Her woman was naturally good at everything. Of course she couldn't boast about it, so she glanced at her eldest sister-in-law.

Mrs. Xiang glanced at her sister-in-law calmly, then looked at Mrs. Changnanhou and said: "We are old friends. Of course, the children's weddings are not trivial matters. Jingmo is my niece, and I watched her grow up." Yes, this child has no other shortcomings except that he has a stronger temper."

Third Lady:…

Is there such a boast? Isn't this a shortcoming?

Mrs. Changnan Hou said immediately: "Our family has chosen the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. Let's not talk about anything else. She must be strong-tempered. I think the third girl is very good."

The third lady was happy again.

When choosing a daughter-in-law, each family and clan pays the most attention to the eldest son and daughter-in-law. This is the next generation of the head of the family, and it cannot be taken lightly. The daughter-in-law below can be more relaxed, and it doesn't matter if she is a little soft-tempered. If they are all strong-tempered, they will fight among themselves.

There are also some rules for choosing a daughter-in-law.

Before meeting Su Jingmo, the wife of Changnan Marquis was a little nervous. She had seen him before, but he was still young at that time and could not see anything. After three years away, the little girl has grown into a big girl. Besides, looking at a child is different from choosing a daughter-in-law.

Now he looks good, and this marriage can be discussed.

When the eldest lady heard the wife of Changnan Marquis praising Su Jingmo, she knew that the marriage would be successful as long as there were no major accidents. However, the Changnan Marquis family had chosen the girls in their house, and it was their turn to choose a new son-in-law.

The conversation between the first lady and the wife of Changnan Marquis was more profound than that between the third lady and the first lady. She first asked where the prince was studying. Even if he returned to his hometown to observe mourning, he could not fall behind in his studies. Although families like them had inherited titles, they could not go further with titles alone, but with their own abilities.

After asking about his studies, she asked about Dong Zhiwei's surroundings in a roundabout way, such as whether he had a favorite concubine. It was the most troublesome for a girl who grew up with the young master to become a concubine. If she could be dealt with, she would be dealt with. If the Changnan Marquisate was reluctant to deal with her, the marriage would have to be weighed.

The first lady's own daughter had suffered a great loss, and she was particularly attentive to her nieces. Now that the whole family was working together for the future, she, as a clan wife, had to take care of the things in the backyard.

The third lady was not in tune, so she, as the eldest sister-in-law, was played the villain.

The wife of Marquis Changnan was surprised that it was the wife of Duke of Qi who would test her. She thought it would be the third wife who would speak up. However, the third wife did not seem to be a particularly scheming person today, so she could understand why Madam Xiang and the wife of Duke of Qi were coming today.

She was not angry. A family that loved their daughters would naturally ask for details, so she said in detail, "Our family is devoted to mourning for the elders. Before returning to our hometown, we sent all the old maids around us to marry, so as not to delay these children. Zhiwei has been studying hard for the past three years, and the servants who serve her are all young servants. The maids in the countryside are clumsy and unsuitable."

The first wife was very satisfied. What this meant was that there were no maids around her who were in the same room as the room, and even the maids who served were sent to marry because of mourning. It seems that this family is really as upright as Madam Xiang said, and the first wife's attitude is even more cordial.

At present, it seems that this is a good marriage.

The elders were testing each other. Outside, Dong Zhiwei led the two Su girls to climb up to the five-petal lotus koi pond. There was a little snow in the sky. Su Xinyi was not afraid of the cold, but Su Jingmo was frozen pale.

Dong Zhiwei saw it and asked the long-time attendant beside her to ask the temple for a warm room for viewing the scenery. There was a charcoal stove inside for heating. The copper kettle on the stove could be boiled to make tea.

Su Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief. She was freezing to death.

Su Xinyi observed carefully and felt that this Dong Zhiwei was really good. From the details, it can be seen that he was a very thoughtful and meticulous person. In the previous life, the fourth sister followed the Changnan Marquis Mansion back to her hometown, but she didn't hear that they had any conflicts.

However, she remembered some things these days. She remembered that Su Jingmo didn't see Dong Zhiwei directly in the previous life. It seemed that he had seen her several times before, but it didn't go well.

Later, the third wife saw that her face was not hers, and it was because of her falling into the water that Su Jingmo's marriage was affected.

She was still quite surprised that such a big change happened in this life. Su Jingmo went straight to see the prince of Changnan Marquis.

Su Xinyi clinked a cup of tea and stood by the window to look at the scenery outside. Dong Zhiwei and Su Jingmo were talking slowly over there, mostly talking about the scenery in the countryside and the recent situation in the capital. Su Xinyi would occasionally interrupt, and the atmosphere was generally very pleasant.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. In the white snow, a group of people suddenly appeared on the rugged mountain road. Su Xinyi didn't care at first, but when the people came closer, her eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that Yang Jin was leading?

Perhaps her eyes were too focused, and the person opposite raised his head and looked over.

It was Yang Jin!

Yang Jin didn't expect to meet Su Xinyi here. He was stunned for a moment, and then he said something to the entourage around him, and saw him striding over.

The warm room was beside the mountain road. Yang Jin stood by the roadside and greeted Su Xinyi, "Sixth Miss, what a coincidence."

"Lord Yang, it's quite a coincidence." Su Xinyi replied with a smile.

"Sixth Miss, why are you here at Daling Temple today?" Yang Jin looked at her calmly. It was snowing so heavily. With the character of Sixth Miss Su, she would never go out unless there was something wrong.

Su Xinyi looked at Yang Jin with a smile, "I came here to accompany my family..."

Yang Jin listened outside, but before Sixth Miss finished speaking, the fourth lady of the Su family appeared at the window again, but then a man appeared. It was just that the figure was behind the two women. For a moment, he couldn't see clearly who it was, but it was definitely not from the Su family. He was familiar with the young masters of the Su family, but he didn't look like that.

Yang Jin's heart trembled. Just when he wanted to find out the identity of the man, he heard Sixth Miss Su say, "Lord Yang is busy with official business, I won't bother you anymore, see you later."

Yang Jin hadn't said a word yet, and he saw Sixth Miss close the window neatly.

Yang Jin's eyes turned, and he waved his hand to the attendant beside him and ordered, "Go and find out which family is meeting with the Duke of Qi's mansion today."

"Yes, sir." The attendant responded and turned away.

Yang Jin did have something else to do. He glanced at the closed window again and then continued to walk up the mountain.

Climbing all the way to the top of the mountain, a thick layer of snow fell on his shoulders. Yang Jin stood in front of a small courtyard with blue bricks and red tiles and knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened. The little monk who opened the door slightly bent down to make way. Yang Jin nodded to him and strode in.

The blue brick floor was covered with a thin layer of snow, which made a slight crisp sound when stepped on. Yang Jin pushed open the door of the main room and went in. Several people in the room heard the sound and looked back at him.

Yang Jin shook off the snow on his body, hung his cloak on the hanger, and changed into soft soap boots before walking in.

"Your Highness." Yang Jin bowed to greet.

Yan Junchu put down the book in his hand and looked up at him, "How is the matter going?"

There were charcoal basins in the four corners of the room. The room was warm. Yan Junchu was only wearing a green robe. His face was as white as jade, and his eyes were so dark that people dared not look directly at him.

"It's all done. The military rations sent to the northwest were indeed replaced. The place of replacement was in the valley ten miles outside Daling Temple." Yang Jin said with a gloomy face.

"Did the person who handled it at the time find out?"

"Still checking. There are already clues, but it seems to be related to Daling Temple." Yang Jin said hesitantly.

Yan Junchu's sharp eyebrows did not move, and he said lightly: "No matter who it is related to, investigate it thoroughly."

The scholar in white clothes and goatee opposite the prince said at this time: "Your Highness, this matter should be delayed. The battle in Zhangping Prefecture has long been settled, and the exchange of military rations has changed. Now unless there is sufficient evidence, it is not a good thing to rashly mention it in the court."

"Your Highness, Boyan's words make sense. You are the crown prince and your words and deeds are under great attention, especially the one in the palace who has been watching you. You can't act rashly." The man with a smile like Maitreya on his face said. He was slightly fat and had a kind face, but his words were not very polite.

"Huang Zhongsheng, don't talk nonsense. If someone hears it, it will be because you have tarnished your reputation." The tall man with a conservative face sat there straight, looking at the fat man opposite with dissatisfaction.

Several people were about to quarrel again. Yang Jin had a headache. He saw His Highness stand up and walk to the window, so he hurriedly followed him and whispered, "Your Highness, I met the Sixth Miss when I went up the mountain."

Yan Junchu slightly tilted his head and looked at Yang Jin, "Oh, really?"

Yang Jin couldn't figure out what His Highness was thinking, so he said, "I asked the Sixth Miss, and the Sixth Miss said she came with her family, but I also saw a strange man in the warm room halfway up the mountain. It's really a bit strange..."

Yang Jin couldn't say the rest of the words. His Highness's eyes were a bit frightening. He still gritted his teeth and added, "I'm afraid that the Sixth Miss is in danger, so I asked someone to check it out. Your Highness, don't worry."

Yan Junchu glanced at Yang Jin lightly, turned around and went back to the table to continue discussing matters.

Yang Jin scratched his head. This is not right. With the degree to which His Highness cares about the Sixth Miss, how can he sit still?

Could it be that he misunderstood, and in fact, His Highness has no other thoughts about the Sixth Miss?

If Pang Lan was here, I could discuss it with him. Unfortunately, Pang Lan was still eating grass on the grassland.

Pang Lan didn't eat grass on the grassland. A group of people were huddled in a mud cave, chewing on dry food lumps. They were in a mess, with wounds of different sizes on their bodies.

Su Deng stared at the map in his hand, and Mu Xing next to him had a gloomy face. The atmosphere was very tense and serious.

Su Li put the account book in his arms, looked at everyone and said, "We have to leave here before it gets dark. If someone smells the blood and catches up, we will all make dumplings and sleep on the spot."

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－

Sorry for waiting for a long time, here are 6,000 words, my dear little cuties.
