Chapter 97 The Temple of All Nations

When the owner of the tea shop saw so many women wearing curtains coming, he immediately asked the waiter to cover a piece of land with a screen on the side.

"Misses, the shop is simple, please come here."

Wen Huimin pulled Cheng Xin into the screen and praised: "Boss, you are quite good at doing business."

"Miss, you are the first time, are you?"

"You know this, too?"

The boss smiled and said, "Here, there are often ladies and wives from the capital. The shop specially prepares screens to allow all ladies and wives to drink tea with peace of mind."

"So that's it, come here to make the best tea here."

"Okay!" The boss retreated immediately.

There were two tables in the screen. After Cheng Xin and Wen Huimin sat together, Wen Yunxian sat on the other side.

The other two young ladies are, one is Xu Shan, the legitimate daughter of Lord Xu in the Hanlin Academy, who is a woman with both literary talent and knowledgeable knowledge. The other is Yan Wen'er, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites, who is a pretty and lovely girl.

The two looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed.

If they were all sitting on the table of Miss Anguo Duke, then Miss Wen would be left alone, which would make the scene ugly. If the two of them went to sit with Miss Wen, this time they could come to Wanguo Temple to pray for the emperor and the queen mother, and they would also be entrusting Miss Anguo Duke's blessings.

So, Xu Shan said, "Sister Wen'er, go there and sit there. I have something to say to Miss Wen alone."

Yan Wen'er nodded: "Thank you sister."

The two of them sat down separately, and the waiter had already delivered the refreshments.

"Misses, this tea comes from the tea forest on the back mountain of Wanguo Temple. Any pilgrim who comes to this mountain will have to drink a cup."

The waiter put down the teacup and retreated aside.

The maids around them helped pour tea.

"This tea is sweet and tastes great." Xu Shan smiled: "I didn't expect that such a delicious tea could be drunk at such a remote foothill."

"Sister Xu, then you have to go to the masters in the temple to ask for a cup of tea. The tea there is even better, and it is soaked in boiling water boiled in mountain spring water." Yan Wen'er didn't like drinking tea, so she asked the waiter to put a pot of hot water for her.

"So, Miss Yan has been here?" Cheng Xin asked.

"Yes, I have come with my mother many times. The scenery in the temple is very good, there is a ginkgo tree that has been around for a hundred years. Unfortunately, this season is wrong, otherwise you will be able to appreciate a different Wanguo Temple." Yan Wen'er took a sachet from her waist.

"Look, this is the ginkgo sachet I specially embroidered. It looks good in style, right?"

Wen Huimin took it and took a look: "What's the matter? There are several ginkgo trees in my house. I have been tired of seeing them since I was a child. If you like ginkgo, you can come to my house to see them in the future."

Yan Wen'er snorted and took back the sachet: "How can this be the same? The century-old ginkgo in Wanguo Temple has been influenced by incense all year round and has long been spiritual. How can it be compared with your ginkgo tree?"

Wen Huimin rolled her eyes: "Who cares about it? Only those who have never seen the world will make such a fuss."

"You, what did you say!"

Yan Wen'er stood up suddenly and pointed at Wen Huimin angrily.

"I'll just say you-"

Cheng Xin held his forehead: "Ms. Wen San, don't quarrel with others at any time. She just kindly shows you a sachet."

"That's it!" Yan Wen'er saw Cheng Xin helping her speak, and immediately turned to her and sat down, grimacing at Wen Huimin.

Wen Huimin wanted to say something, but she finally endured it and didn't say anything more.

Here it became quiet, and Xu Shan at the other table whispered: "Ms. Wen, you three girls always look fearless. Why do you listen to Miss Cheng so much now?"

Wen Yunxian stared at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup without saying a word.

"I have no intention of saying this. Miss Wen must not get me wrong."

At this time, Wen Yunxian came back to her senses: "No, what is her relationship with me? I think everyone knows it, right?"

Xu Shan didn't expect Wen Yunxian to directly point out her relationship with her sisters in the family so directly, and then said, "Miss Wen, I actually want to get to know you for a long time, but you rarely leave the house, and we don't have many opportunities to meet at the banquet. I didn't expect that I could go up the mountain with you this time."

"I didn't expect it."

"Is that so? I thought Miss Cheng had greeted you early."

Wen Yunxian shook her head.

At this moment, a man's question suddenly came from outside the screen.

"I dare to ask if it's Miss Wen inside?"

Everyone in the screen looked at her.

Wen Yunxian looked up, looking puzzled: "Who is it?"

Cheng Xin kept summoning Xiaoshu: ‘Is the plot updated?’

‘Don’t worry if you come. The plot has been updated, please check it out carefully.’

‘Can you still rely on some tricks? If I don’t urge you, don’t plan to give me the plot?’

‘It’s unfair, the author has just been updated. I haven’t had time to read it yet!’

Cheng Xin no longer cares about what Xiaoshu says, and now he quickly browses the latest novel content.

The more I looked, the heavier her face became.

The updated content mainly talks about the matter after the eldest prince left the capital and arrived in Shu. He encountered many assassinations on his way to Shu. Finally, he arrived at the place safely. The magistrate who was originally going to receive him was infected with the epidemic again.

The disaster never came singularly, and several capable assistants around him suddenly became unacceptable and could not afford to get sick. This was a huge crisis, which caught him off guard.

On Wen Yunxian's side, she encountered a robber in Wanguo Temple. The robber kidnapped her and a lady from a noble family and locked her in a wooden house.

‘Not?’

‘It’s gone.’ Xiaoshu replied.

Cheng Xin scratched his head, who else did he capture Wen Yunxian?

She glanced at the person closest to Wen Yunxian. Could it be that Xu Shan?

And when he said it, the man outside had already walked in.

"Bold!" Mei Ran drew her sword and pointed it over.

The women in the screen looked bad, but after seeing the man's appearance, their faces slowed down again.

It was just because the man had a black veil on his eyes.

The man was not too tall. He was wearing the costume of a servant, bowed to the front and took out something wrapped in a veil from his arms.

"Miss, the slave is the Changsui in the mansion. This is what the second lady asked the slave to give you."

"My sister, what did you give?" Wen Huimin got up and was about to take it, and the man quickly avoided it.

"This is what the second lady said to hand it over to the lady himself."

Wen Yunxian nodded to Yueya, and Yueya quickly stepped forward: "Leave it to me, I am the lady's maid."

The man then let go and handed over the things in his hand.

After Wen Yunxian got the hand, she did not open it in front of others, but stuffed it into a purse on her waist.
