Wuqiu Temple outside the city is the most deserted place among the many temples.
The gray mud tiles were covered with dead leaves, and a few jackdaws were perched on the ridge, as dumb as wooden sculptures. They were frightened by a wild cat that jumped onto the house and flew away.
The thick fog in the early morning had not yet dissipated, and a carriage came with a black hood and thin horses, and the driver looked very old.
The carriage stopped in front of Wuqiu Temple, and a woman got out of the carriage.
She paid the fare to the old man, and the carriage, which looked like a night wanderer, disappeared into the thick fog again.
The woman was wearing a Taoist robe with a gauze covering her face, but it was still possible to see that she was tall.
The pair of eyes exposed outside the veil are lively and lively, and you can imagine that she must be a peerless beauty.
She held a small package in her hand and knocked gently on the door of the nunnery.
After a while, someone inside opened the door.
The woman said something to the person who opened the door, and he let her in.
The sun rises higher and higher, and the thick fog gradually dissipates.
When it was almost noon, an old nun walked out of the nunnery. She seemed to have something to do, so she hurried into the city.
Normally, nuns go out to beg for alms, but she didn't look sideways or talk to anyone along the way, and came directly to the door of Uncle Cheng'en's Mansion.
"Where does this sister-in-law come from? Our eldest grandma has already told her that none of you aunts or wives are allowed to come in. If you want to ask for alms, go to someone else's house." When the guard at the door saw this sister-in-law coming, he hurriedly drove her away.
"The poor nun is not here to beg for alms," the lady said, handing over a paper bag. "A benefactor asked me to send something to your grandma, and she said she must bring it to her."
"Who knows what you are talking about? You are so secretive, I'm afraid there is no conspiracy." The gatekeeper was not happy, "Come on, don't try to be mysterious here."
"Uncle, just be okay. If you can't bring anything in, can you please tell me something?" The nun begged, "Just say that spring is here, the weather is getting warmer, and the clouds are back."
The gatekeeper was originally unwilling to go in and deliver a message, but he couldn't resist the nun's pleading.
So he said: "I can send a message for you, but if you are blamed, you have to bear the responsibility."
"Don't worry, don't worry. If grandma blames you, the nun will take full responsibility and won't hurt you at all." When the nun saw that the gatekeeper agreed, she was naturally very grateful.
The gatekeeper couldn't pass the message directly to Xu Chunjun. He could only tell the woman at the second door who was passing the message and ask her to go in and speak.
"What are these words? There is no beginning or end." The mother-in-law didn't know why, "Isn't that man a lunatic?"
But despite saying this, she still went in to deliver the message.
At this time, Xu Chunjun was listening to the accounting report from Mr. Zuo in the accounting room. The woman did not dare to come forward and disturb her, so she waited quietly aside.
After the other person finished his work, he stepped forward and said cautiously: "Grandma, a sister-in-law just came outside, and she insisted on bringing a message in. She said that spring is here, the weather is getting warmer, and the clouds are back."
When Xu Chunjun heard what she said, he immediately asked: "Who is that person? Let her in quickly."
The mother-in-law did not expect that the eldest grandmother would be so solemn, so she quickly went out and asked someone to bring the nun in.
"What's going on? Why is it like a code?" The concierge was also confused.
The nun went to see Xu Chunjun. No one knew what the eldest grandmother had said to her, because all the servants in the room had been sent out.
Later, the nun was sent away, but not through the front door, but through the back door.
In the afternoon of that day, Xu Chunjun left the house and said he was going to the Huo family.
They had indeed arrived at Huo's house, but not long after she entered, Jiang Nuan also came out. The two of them got into a car and left the city directly.
The door of Wuqiu Temple was closed, but when the two of them got there, the door opened.
After Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan entered, they stayed for a long time.
It wasn't until the sun was almost setting that the two of them came out of Wuqiu Nunnery.
It looked like he had obviously cried, but he was secretive, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
The carriage returned along the original road, first sending Jiang Nuan home, and then back to Uncle Chengen's Mansion.
After another day or two, Xu Chunjun asked Jiang Nuan to go out of the city together again. This time they came to Wuqiu Temple.
Others didn't notice this, but those hiding in the dark seemed to have caught a glimpse of something.
The third lady was lying lazily on her side on the soft couch. In such a cold weather, she was only wearing a thin gauze dress.
Just because the room was warm and warm, it still seemed like summer weather.
"Is everything you said true?" After hearing the visitor's reply, Sanniang couldn't help but sit up and asked, "If you dare to lie to me, you know what will happen."
"Even if I had a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to lie to you." The person who replied was in his early twenties. He was thin and small but had a lot of tendons. "You asked me to keep an eye on the grandma of the Zheng family. I will keep an eye on you."
I had been looking at her for quite some time, but I didn't find any flaws. But after the nun went there that day, she was obviously very abnormal."
"It's better to be careful. If you keep an eye on it, it's best to find out who lives in Wuqiu Nunnery." On her snow-white arms, Sanniangzi wore a jewel-embedded armlet and a dozen particularly slender ones.
The gold bracelet jingled at the slightest movement.
"The villain thinks it must be Cen Yunchu. After all, the nun said it when she sent the message. Spring has come, the weather has warmed, and the clouds have returned. This is obviously a code!" The man said, "Besides, the Zheng family's
Grandma doesn’t believe in Buddhism.
She usually doesn't go into temples and nunneries, so why did she suddenly make an appointment with the Huo family to go to Wuqiu nunnery, which has little incense?
And I go there again and again, and every time I come out there are traces of crying. Aren't you going to see an old friend?"
His words seemed to touch some of Sanniangzi's memories, leaving her dazed for a moment.
Then she smiled, and the look on her face made it difficult to guess what she was thinking.
"Sister-in-law, little man...did you say something wrong?" The man began to feel a little scared.
This third lady was moody and ruthless, so they were all cautious around her.
"You did a good job, and I don't mean to blame you. The most frustrating thing for me is that when I came back, Cen Yunchu was gone. She is the person I hate the most. I want to bury her with my own hands!
"Sanniang narrowed her eyes, like a beautiful snake, ready to bite the prey's neck at any time.
"Sanniang, if it is true that Cen Yunchu is back, should we deal with her first, or should we follow the original plan?" Sanniang's men asked.
"There is no need to change the original plan," the third lady said, grabbing the pearls in the gold tray on the short table beside her, then slowly letting go, listening to the sound of the pearls clinking back into the gold tray, "They owe me
There are too many, I want to get them all back one by one!"
