As soon as Manmei walked in, she was hit by the strong smell of burning moxa and made her cough.
Almost every silver needle on Jiehen's body has a burning moxa stick.
The whole person was exuding thick white smoke. Even if all the doors and windows were opened, mist-like white smoke would continue to emit.
Manmei retreated continuously until she was far away from the gate, and then she felt her breathing became easier.
After finally waiting for her anger to burn out, she covered her nose with a handkerchief and walked in.
Without saying anything, he handed the sculpture directly to Jie Ai, tapped his index finger on the crescent moon lamp held by the maid, and signaled Jie Ai to look at it carefully.
The sculpture was only the size of a palm, and the lantern could not be carved very finely. Jie Hui took it and looked at it carefully, smacking his lips and said, "It looks like something from the previous dynasty. This jade is quite old."
"You think it's useless?" Manmiao asked, thinking that Jie Ai would want to know the origin of the Soul Seizing Bell.
Jie Hui returned the sculpture to her and started to put on his clothes, "I just want the thing to be useful. Who cares where it comes from or how it is made?"
Manmei thought that he was a tomb robber. It was not surprising to have such an idea.
He weighed the sculpture in his hand and said, "The monk from Yue is probably still looking for clues. If you don't want this thing, I'll throw it to the monk as a favor."
Jie Hui glanced at her and said, "Whatever you want, this is yours."
Manmiao felt that Shi Wen was also a troublesome person here. Lan Ting wanted to attract Jie Ang, and if Shi Wen caused trouble here, it would not end well, so it would be better to get rid of him early.
With this thought in mind, he took the sculpture and got on the carriage, "Go to Jinlun Temple."
Jinlun Temple is a very small temple, inconspicuous.
When Shi Wen came this time, he didn't want to show off, let alone get caught up in endless social interactions. He chose the small and quiet Jinlun Temple instead of the splendid and famous Fahua Temple.
She had told Manmiao before that she would temporarily stay at Jinlun Temple to look for clues. Manmiao went to find him now, which saved her the trouble of searching everywhere.
Shi Wen was chanting sutras with a group of monks in the main hall.
Manmei waited until he finished reciting before walking out.
I had nothing to say to the monk, so I simply explained the origin and gave him a set of sculptures.
"This was found in His Royal Highness King Yi's palace. I don't know the origin of the thing. It seems to be a trophy from that time. It was given to him by the late emperor when he built the palace. Go and check it out yourself." Manmiao thought about this.
The monk has perseverance. He has been here for more than a month and has no intention of leaving. Looking at his attitude, do you plan to stay here for a long time?
Shi Wen was very surprised and thanked her repeatedly. Man Miao felt a little guilty and got up and went back after not sitting for a while.
When I was going out, it suddenly started raining heavily. Winter rain is not easy to live with, so I asked the coachman to stop by the roadside and wait for the rain to stop before setting off. Unexpectedly, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and the horse skidded on the bluestone road after the rain, and suddenly fell to the ground.
on the ground.
The two horses pulling the cart are connected together, and if one falls, the other will not be spared.
The carriage was brought into the ditch, leaving Manmiao and Zhuxiang in a state of confusion.
Fortunately, the guards reacted quickly and stopped the out-of-control horses in time, rescuing Manmiao and Zhuxiang.
It's extremely cold in the mountains in winter, and Mei Mei doesn't know how to ride a horse, and she doesn't want to ride a horse on a bumpy mountain road.
She looked reluctant at the foot of the mountain and said to the captain of the guard, "Now we are going down the mountain in just one mile. When we get to the flat land at the foot of the mountain, find someone to borrow a carriage. We will just thank them again when we get back."
Knowing that the mistress was unwilling to ride a horse, the captain of the guard dismounted and accompanied her on the mountain road.
Manmei finally made it to the bottom of the mountain, and the embroidered shoes and skirt on her feet were soaked through.
Standing in the cold wind, waiting for a carriage to pass by.
A guard patted his horse and came over, "Miss, there is a carriage willing to lend us. I have already brought the carriage."
Manmiao's face was happy when she heard this, showing an expression of relief. When the car appeared in front of her, she frowned.
That car looked like the Jiang family's carriage.
When she was in Yue Kingdom, she didn't know how many times she rode in the Jiang family's carriage. She was very familiar with the markings on the carriage and could never mistake it.
When she saw it was the Jiang family's carriage, Miao Miao's heart rose in her throat, and she whispered to the captain of the guard, "Don't be careless. People from the Jiang family once tried to kill me."
The captain of the guard followed Manmei. He knew that the mistress didn't like Jiang Shang of the Jiang family very much, but he never thought that he had this experience before. He immediately clenched his weapon and whispered, "If the situation changes later, I will protect you."
Please leave first, miss."
Manmei looked at the approaching carriage, her face very calm, "On the territory of the Blue Kingdom, the Jiang family people should not be so arrogant, just be careful secretly, and run away if anything goes wrong. Jiang Shang is very skilled in martial arts.
You may not be an opponent."
Jiang Shang jumped out before the carriage was stable. Seeing that half of Graceful Little Skirt was covered in mud, he walked over anxiously, "I'll take you back."
Manmei faced him calmly, with a polite smile on her face, "Young Master Lao Jiang, I have sent someone to notify my family, and a carriage will come to pick me up soon."
When Jiang Shang came over, the captain of the guard took a step forward and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, clearly trying to stop him.
Seeing the captain's signal, the guards gradually gathered around and stopped Jiang Shang ten steps in front of Man Miao.
Jiang Shang was very disappointed when he saw Manmiao being so wary of him, "Miao'er, I will never hurt you, I just ask you to trust me."
Jiang Shang used the word "please" to her for the first time, causing the smile on Man Miao's surprised face to freeze for a moment, "Mr. Jiang, I believe you, but my carriage will be here soon. Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your kindness."
Manmiao has always been in Prince Yi's Mansion. Even when she occasionally goes out, she always follows Lan Ting or Huangfu Xun. When she rarely goes out alone, Jiang Shang is always looking for opportunities to talk to Manmiao. The opportunity is rare now, how can he give up like this?
He stopped Manmiao directly and said, "I'll just take you back to Huangfu's house. Look at the weather, it's going to rain heavily again. You're not feeling well, don't catch a cold."
The tone of his words was as caring as when nothing happened before. For a moment, Manmei felt as if she was still in Yue Kingdom.
Only when she saw the guards wearing the clothes of Prince Yi next to her did she react. She clenched her hands into fists and dug her sharp nails into her palms. She suddenly woke up. Everything would be fake, except for the arrow on Deng Yanshuo's shoulder.
it is true.
He immediately turned cold and said, "Mr. Jiang, I'm afraid this is unreasonable. I haven't left the government yet, how can I ride in a carriage with other men?"
"If you care, I just don't want to get in the car." Jiang Shang seemed to be really worried about Manmei, "It's going to rain soon. Where can you take shelter like this?"
