Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu asked: "I still see 'Benefactor Li' first. Can we meet outside the city?"

"I'm afraid not, Li benefactor is very tight-lipped." Qing Yuan said.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, then said: "I want to pick a place to meet first, how about Master Qingyuan come again the day after tomorrow?"

"Very good." Qing Yuan saluted with one hand, "If there is nothing else, the poor monk will leave first."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Master Qingyuan, go slowly."

Sending off Monk Qingyuan, Zhu Gaoxu, Zheng He and others first looked at all the rooms in the house, and then climbed up the wooden ladder to the pavilion, observing the surrounding terrain and routes from a high place.

However, in the capital, once the incident happens, it is useless to prepare for anything.So Zhu Gaoxu discussed with Zheng He and others: Don't stay here for long!The only way to keep things safe is to get things done and leave as soon as possible.

Zhu Gaoxu then called three men from the pavilion, took out a picture from his arms and put it on a dusty square table, beckoned everyone to approach, and said: "There are still some people in the capital who know me. To be cautious, I will try not to go out..."

He pointed to the picture and said, "It's not too late, you go to the city to see the place today. Besides me, there are three people left, so we can only set up three sentries. Therefore, the chosen place can only be reached by three roads at most; In order to be able to detect accidents in advance. Take a look at these pictures, places similar to this terrain are the best."

A few people came over to have a look. Zhu Gaoxu's drawing was very rough, but also very simple.Everyone nodded in agreement one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu handed the picture to Zheng He: "Let's go!"

Zheng He and the others clasped their fists in acceptance and went downstairs.Zhu Gaoxu is still sitting on this pavilion, this place is on the hillside, he can see farther from the height.

At this time, Du Qianrui also walked up to the pavilion, and came up with wooden barrels, brooms and other things.She said softly: "After cleaning this room first, I will go to the kitchen to boil water and make tea for you."

Zhu Gaoxu responded, still looking out of the window.Several times such a picture appeared in his mind: the road down the mountain was suddenly crowded with soldiers and horses!

To contact Li Jinglong as soon as possible, relying on Yan Wangfu's spies in the capital is obviously the fastest way; Qingyuan and Xu Zengshou are also relatively reliable... The most risky place is Li Jinglong's side.If Li Jinglong didn't want to surrender, but wanted to make amends, it would be over!

...At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly saw the small door on the west side of Jiming Temple open, and someone came out with two buckets.He immediately took a step back a little.

The attic is located on the west side of Jiming Temple, far away from the Medicine Master Pagoda and various halls in the temple; but the small gate on the west side of the temple is very close, and there are indeed few people here.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little weird... Although he couldn't see the bald nun's face clearly, under the sunlight, he could tell that her skin was very fair and she was not very old.According to the decree promulgated by the Taizu, it is really difficult to see young nuns in the nunnery of the Ming Dynasty at this time, let alone the nunnery at the foot of the emperor?

He observed for a while, and it turned out that the nun came out to clean the toilet.She just scooped water from the bucket, bent over and pouted her buttocks, concentrating on her work.Seeing her bent over, Zhu Gaoxu could roughly see her body line clearly, and guessed that the nun seemed to have a pretty good figure.

Zhu Gaoxu believed that she was just a little nun from Jiming Temple, so he didn't pay much attention to her. He looked at the scene down the mountain from time to time, thinking about things.

"That nun looks good." Du Qianrui said suddenly.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look back at her, "Miss Du has pretty eyes."

Du Qianrui smiled slightly, bent down and washed the cloth towel in the bucket, and continued to wipe the table and bench, while following Zhu Gaoxu to look out the window.

At this moment, another nun came out, and suddenly she kicked Xiaoni's ass|ass!Even Du Qianrui next to Zhu Gaoxu was surprised when he saw this.

Xiao Ni fell to the ground and immediately turned his head away.The nun behind raised her hand and pointed at the little nun on the ground, as if she was cursing something.

The surrounding area of ​​the pavilion was very quiet, and there was nothing to attract people's attention. What happened outside the Jiming Temple caught Zhu Gaoxu's attention.He observed for a long time, and at this moment he almost understood that bullying incidents were happening in the temple... Zhu Gaoxu thought in his heart: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha's pure-hearted and ascetic temple seems to be no exception.

But soon something happened that surprised Zhu Gaoxu, the little nun tripped the nun who kicked her!The nun struggled a few times, then got up immediately, it seemed that this matter could not be let go.

Chapter 1 Zero Three Mint

Outside the gate of the temple in the distance, the nun who was tripped immediately got up from the ground, judging from her movements, she was already furious!She rushed up and slapped Xiao Ni's face with her hand, but missed, and Xiao Ni grabbed her hand.

At this moment, the small door opened, and a teacher and several people came out.As soon as Xiao Ni let go, she was slapped by the nun just now, and Xiao Ni stood there covering her face with her hand.

The fight ended soon, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hear what a group of people were standing there talking about.There were many people coming, so he moved a little away from the window so as not to be seen.

Zhu Gaoxu guessed that the group of people must be reprimanding Xiaoni, after all, in the temple, there are differences in seniority, superiority and inferiority.It's not easy for the little Ni to dare to confront the elders.

After a long time, the group of people entered the small gate of the temple, where Xiao Ni continued to clean the toilet.Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to do for a while, so he was still watching her doing some trivial things in the attic, and watching the situation at the foot of Jilong Mountain from time to time.

At this time, Du Qianrui came up to the pavilion with a cup of tea, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately smelled the smell of mint, so he heard Du Qianrui say: "I didn't find any tea leaves, but I saw a few mint plants growing in the yard, so I picked them, washed them and brewed them." After tea, the young master had no choice but to drink it."

"Anyway, you won't be here for long, so you don't have to do too much. We just got here, so you should take a break." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Du Qianrui said softly: "Young Master, I can't help you with major matters, so I have to do small things, which are all my duties."

She was born in the Jiaofang Division, and she is good at playing and singing, and her voice is really nice.Zhu Gaoxu is still very willing to talk to Du Qianrui, what to say is not important, listening to the voice can also make people feel more comfortable.

Zhu Gaoxu then said: "Miss Du followed me, and it is true that she has lived comfortably for a few days, and she is on the way."

Du Qianrui lowered her head and murmured: "It's better than being at home. I can't stay in my hometown anymore. Before the young master came, I was always bored and worried all day long. Once my father scolded me and said that I don't like dogs. The family is poor... After I left, I thought about my mother again, and I dreamed about her last night."

"Miss Du has stayed in the capital for so many years, how can she compare with your mother? Lingtang can stay in the village because she has never seen a bigger world. As long as people don't know what it's like outside, there won't be many Think." Zhu Gaoxu said casually, "Miss Du has seen the world, I'm afraid she won't be able to go back. Your father shouldn't blame you, you want to live a better life, isn't that human nature?"

Du Qianrui listened attentively, and when Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, she said softly, "Listening to your son will always make me feel better."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Me too."

Du Qianrui's cheeks suddenly turned red.

...Before You hour, Zheng He, Wang Bin, and Wei Da came back, and brought back some rice and vegetables. There was no seasoning, only salt.Du Qianrui was busy cooking and tidying up the quilts that were drying in the yard.

Zhu Gaoxu called other people into the house and asked where he was investigating today.He asked Zheng He and others about several places selected in great detail.

The few people didn't finish talking about business until late at night. At this time, Du Qianrui had already prepared the food and boiled the water for washing.

When they walked to a square wooden table, Zhu Gaoxu swallowed a mouthful of saliva immediately, and his stomach groaned.There were almost no seasonings, but the food on the table was pretty good-looking, which immediately increased his appetite.

The stewed pork brought back by Wang Bin and others was cut into thin slices and placed on two white porcelain plates, like flower petals, with mint green leaves dotted in the middle to make the color even richer.Lettuce and stewed pork stewed into a large bowl, lettuce leaves soaked in salt water for several hours, put it on the plate, it looks very good with rice.

At this time, Wang Bin praised: "Ms. Du's cooking skills are good!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "You have good food. I usually don't entertain people when Ms. Du cooks and cooks with her own hands."

Wang Bin, Wei Da and others immediately laughed "hehe".

Du Qianrui smiled and said, "I'll serve some food for you."

Everyone was also hungry, and they gorged themselves on the table, and there was a burst of "bajibaji" chewing in the room.Not long after, a cry of "Meow..." came from the door. When Zhu Gaoxu looked back, he saw a big yellow cat looking eagerly at the table.

Wang Bin said: "A meat dish delivered to your door!"

Zhu Gaoxu stopped him and said, "Look at its clean fur, it must have been raised by a nearby family, so don't cause trouble."

After dinner, everyone discussed and arranged rooms, and then they all washed and rested.Zhu Gaoxu took a mat and quilt and put them on the attic, and agreed that the four of them would take turns to go upstairs to watch.

...The next morning, the three of them continued to go out to do errands, while Zhu Gaoxu and Du Qianrui remained in the mansion.

In the capital, more than one or two people knew Zhu Gaoxu, apart from the clan and nobles, the soldiers and servants who guarded the prince and others in the mansion two years ago also met Zhu Gaoxu many times.When Zhu Gaoxu arrived in the capital, he tried to avoid showing up in crowded places.

There are important things to do every day, but at this juncture, because he seldom goes out, he has nothing to do all day long.In addition to thinking, they can only wait.

He also saw the little nun working in the courtyard of the temple yesterday, she probably lived on the west side of the temple.Zhu Gaoxu had no interest in her at first, but there was nothing to see around, so he kept paying attention to what the little nun was doing for some reason.

The little nun was sweeping the yard for a while, and washing a lot of clothes for a while.Sometimes she can't be seen, but she will appear in Zhu Gaoxu's sight soon.
