Note: I will give you a small order of characters in the future, but you should read the clues yourself. After all, even this is mentioned, which will reduce the pleasure of reading.

After the beggar household left, Zhao Ran just waved to Ah Ning who was in the dark alley.

"What are your orders, young master?" Ah Ning hurried over.

"Go and find out for me which nunnery Mr. He's concubine lives in." Zhaoran said after a pause, "This nunnery is probably in the eastern suburbs."

Aning nodded after listening, then turned and left.

Zhaoran turned his head, only to realize that Jiuru had already entered a tea shop not far away, he quickly followed, and Zhaoran sat down on the second floor, watching the traffic gradually coming downstairs, he couldn't help sighing. Laughed: "I just went to Fayan Temple to donate incense money yesterday, and I became a fairy in the evening. It's a coincidence."

"Didn't you tell Wantong that this matter is over? Why are you still investigating?" Jiu Ru ordered a pot of Liu'an tea and some salt ginger, and he couldn't help but mix the tea slowly while sitting there.

Zhao Ran looked at the commotion below: "Some things can be muddled over, but some things must be clarified."

Jiu Ru glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhao Ran withdrew his gaze from downstairs and moved his face towards him with malicious intentions: "Uncle Jiu Ru, if Master He really becomes a fairy when he turns around, wouldn't the name of the National Master Pagoda be covered by someone?"

"Talk so much, you're thirsty, drink some water." Jiu Ru picked up the prepared tea and refilled him a cup of tea.

His phalanges are slender and slender, and at first glance, he looks a little fragile, but he has clearly seen these few fingers pinch the ruthless throat bones into fly ash, so he dare not underestimate them, so he coughed dryly and drank twice. After taking a few sips of tea, I couldn't help asking, "You really don't care?"

Jiu Ru glanced out the window: "As long as he doesn't die and come back to life, I don't care how much fame Cheng has."

Zhao Ran cautiously asked: "The immortal family also has life and death?"

Jiu Ru steadily added some water to his cup and said, "There is life and death in the world."

Zhao Ran had no choice but to change the subject in an embarrassing manner: "That kid has come out."

----

The beggar household came out with an ashes bucket, and went downstairs to follow him into the alley. The beggar household had just pulled out a pot of green leek leaves from the ashes.

"Master, please be careful. If you don't bury it in ashes, you won't be able to get out of the mansion just holding this flower pot. After all, I am a temporary servant."

Zhaoran knelt down and brushed the dust off the leaves, then happily threw the silver ingot to the beggar.

The beggar household was also a clever person, holding the silver ingot, he turned it around three times and then disappeared.

Aning was only a few steps behind the beggar's household, but he came out only after the beggar's household had left, seeing Zhaoran smiling at the pot of green leaves, he asked: "Master, is this pot related to the death of Master He's family? "

"I don't know."

"Then..." Aning was a little confused.

Zhao Ran said: "This pot is called Xie Ye Ru Xiang, and it is said in the book that it can avoid obstacles."

Ah Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "Isn't it just garlic?"

It happened that Jiu Ru also came in from the alley, and Zhao Ran laughed loudly and said, "This elegant name is indeed rarely mentioned, and everyone usually calls it Garlic."

"Master, why bother to get a pot of garlic leaves back?"

Zhao Ran said: "The Li family moved here two months ago. It happened to be the time to plant garlic two months ago. He was busy moving, so how could he think of planting garlic? If it is grown to eat, then it should be They are raised in the lower courtyard, near the kitchen, why are they raised in the yard near the study."

"So..." Aning pondered for a moment.

"It was given by someone." Jiu Ru said.

"You don't think it's strange, who would give a pot of garlic to Mr. He?" Zhao Ran frowned.

"It turns out that the young master also has something he doesn't know." Ah Ning said with a smile.

Zhao Ran sighed: "Your young master, there are actually many things I don't know." He told the truth, he didn't even know who he was.

Jiu Ru couldn't help but glanced at him, as if surprised that this man was humble at times.

Zhaoran glanced sideways and knew what he meant. He wanted to tease a few words, but found that the corners of Jiu Ru's mouth were slightly curved, and a crescent moon seemed to appear faintly on his lips. He couldn't help but screamed in his heart, no wonder this little Buddha never smiled.

How can others think of him as a Buddha with such a smile, he thought to himself, thinking that it is not easy for a little Buddha to put on airs on weekdays, that's all, I will find you a fair and beautiful one, so I won't wrong you.

Aning smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with garlic. It is easy to grow and looks not ugly, except that it doesn't bloom. It looks like daffodils? No matter how good winter plum blossoms are, they can't be moved inside the house. If you can't grow daffodils , there is nothing wrong with raising a pot of garlic. Besides, the young master also said, does garlic have an elegant name called Xieye Ruxiang?"

With a clear smile, holding the garlic in his hands, he said, "How about the thing I asked you to inquire about?"

Aning said: "The family's concubine is called Yunxian. I heard that it was originally a concubine. Later, she became pregnant, so she took it home. But Mrs. He is not very happy, and the concubine is also clever. I invited myself to go to the nunnery before going to the mansion. This nunnery is really what you expected, young master...it is indeed in the eastern suburbs."

Zhao Ran said boldly: "Master, I can figure it out, which temple?"

Aning pursed her lips and smiled: "It's a small temple, located in Jixiang Nunnery outside Chaoyang Gate."

"Jixiang Temple..."

Aning nodded, and said again: "I just inquired about this Jixiang Nunnery, and it was actually donated by Mr. He. He said that Mr. He sold his big house in the capital and built this nunnery. Take some lonely women into the nunnery."

Zhao Ran said: "No wonder they are going to move." He looked at the garlic leaves in his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't seem to be far from here, so let's go and have a look."

Aning took a sneak peek at Jiuru, seeing that Jiuru didn't have any objectionable meaning, and she seemed to be going with her. She thought it would take a lot of trouble to get close to the Buddha, but it turned out to be so easy, because the Buddha followed him all the time. them……

"What are you waiting for, go find a car." Zhao Ran said.

Only then did Aning come back to his senses, bowed his head and said, "Yes, maidservant is going now."

Zhao Ran looked at her back and shook his head, this little fairy was thinking about it, but Goddess is interested, King Xiang has no dreams, it's not that I won't help you, but you can't get into Jiuru's eyes.

Speaking of which, it is quite troublesome for Jiuru to know what kind of person he likes.

----

The Chaoyang Gate is connected to a waterway, so Chaoyang Gate is also called the Liangmen. The grain that is transported to Beijing from other provinces will pass through this gate. There are many granaries nearby. When Zhaoran first came to Beijing, he lived here and met him. Zhang Xiaobai.

Outside the Chaoyang Gate, apart from the abundance of food, there are also a lot of beggars, most of whom are handicapped, sitting sparsely along the official road outside.

Seeing Zhao Ran, Aning explained: "These are not beggars, they are people waiting to enter the orphanage." Beggars are raised by the state) It’s just that there has always been a fixed number of nursing homes, and they wait outside, and when there is a vacancy, they can go in and live for the rest of their lives.”

Zhao Ran smiled and said: "That's right, if you live near here, there are many official households and wealthy households in the capital who help you. Even if you can't get in for a while, you won't starve to death."

"That's right, our Jiang family is a well-known benevolent person here." Aning said.

Zhao Ran glanced at her sideways, and thought to himself that she started calling us in just a few days, but it's a pity that she looks sweet and has a sweet mouth, how can she be looked down upon by others.

----

There are at least a dozen temples in the eastern suburbs, and Jixiang Temple is not very eye-catching. Even because it is a new temple, there are almost no pilgrims, and the temple door is still closed at noon.

Jiu Ru knocked on the door, and it took a long time for someone to come. A nun opened the temple door, and she held the flowerpot in her hand with a clear smile and said, "I am entrusted by Master Aihe, and I am here to deliver something to my sister-in-law." .”

The nun said "ahhh" a few times, but she was actually a dumb girl, and walked in behind her. He saw garlic growing everywhere in the corner of the temple. Very seductive.

As soon as they passed the mountain gate, they were stopped by an old nun: "The poor nun Fayin has seen two benefactors."

"I was entrusted by Master He to deliver something in a pot." Zhao Ran raised the flower pot in his hand.

Fayin said: "Who are you? If you continue to talk nonsense like this, don't blame the poor nun for being rude."

"nonsense?"

Fayin said calmly: "Mrs. He has passed away, how could Mr. He send you to give her a bowl of rue?"

"Dead, buried?" Zhao Ran took back the flower pot in his hand, and couldn't help asking, "When did it happen?"

"What happened two days ago." Fayin said, "Mrs. He was originally the reincarnation of the Buddha's mother. She was enlightened before she passed away. She came to the nunnery just to find a suitable quiet place to go to the Western Paradise."

"Buddha mother?" Zhao Ran glanced at the Buddha son next to him.

Jiuru explained: "Buddha's mother is Peacock Mingwang. It is said that the Buddha was devoured by the Peacock Mingwang who ate human flesh when he was learning Taoism before the Buddha burned the lamp. The Buddha broke his back, so Peacock Mingwang is also called Buddha. mother."

Zhaoran let out a "ha" in his heart, thinking that Peacock King Ming eats human flesh, even the Buddha dared to swallow it, he was arrogant and violent, reincarnated not only as a woman, but also as a concubine of a man, just because he gave birth to a child?

Fayin clasped his hands together and said to Jiuru: "That's good, it seems that the donor is also a person who worships Buddha."

Zhao Ran couldn't help asking Jiu Ru: "Do you really believe it?"

Jiu Ru answered flatly: "I don't believe a single word."

Zhaoran couldn't help laughing, Fayin's complexion was slightly bad, Zhaoran waved his hands and said: "Don't be angry, we are not disrespectful to Buddha, but we don't want to respect fake Buddhas, so let's pay respects to Miss Yunxian. Zhu Xiang, I have a few words to say to her."

Fayin pondered for a moment, then said: "Two benefactors, please come with me."

She led them directly to the side hall, and saw a tablet on it, writing a letter to the position of He Shi Yunxian, looked at the tablet for a while and said: "Where is her body buried?"

Fayin clasped his hands together and said: "On the night when the Buddha's mother came to the temple, she issued a decree to us, asking us to quietly watch the lawsuit and send the Buddha's mother out of the mortal body. Huosuke has ascended to the mortal world."

"It was burnt to ashes..." Zhao Ran murmured.

Fayin's eyes drooped slightly: "If the two benefactors have nothing else to do, the poor nun will not be far away."

"I haven't offered incense yet." Zhao Ran took out two incense sticks, thought for a while and then said leisurely: "There is Fayan Temple outside Zhangyi Gate, which is a royal nunnery. A female official named Lianfang is missing from the temple. Jin Yiwei has a famous family name. He has a dog slave with a very sharp nose, which can smell a mile around. So he said that there is no smell of Lianfang outside Yan Temple, so I thought Lianfang was still there. Fayan Temple, now that I think about it, I made a mistake, Lianfang didn't stay in the temple, but she used a method to jump directly to a place one mile away from Fayan Temple."

Zhao Ran looked at the burning incense between her fingers: "How did she get away? Fayan Temple donated porridge and rice on the fifteenth day of the new year, so she left Fayan Temple sitting in the millet porridge, so the dog slave could not smell it. Her breath. But if Lianfang wants to do this, she needs someone to cooperate, because she can hide it from anyone but Qiu Rong who is counting supplies, so the person who helps her leave should be Qiu Rong. Fayan Temple I made a lot of relief food that day, and I must have used a lot of water. The ground was very wet. Lianfang and Qiurong stepped on the wet ground to remove the porridge bucket from the car, because a little bit had to be poured out, and only one person could sit in the bucket. Going in, the posture of carrying the bucket must be Qiurong moving forward and Lianfang stepping back... right? Then Qiurong not only concealed how Lianfang escaped, but also took back a change of clothes for her, and put the shoes on for her. Wipe it clean and put it back in the house, and pretend to be on duty at night for her."

He fanned the incense with his hand to extinguish the incense: "Now she doesn't know where she has gone, so I ask the Bodhisattva to pass on the Buddha's decree to her for me, saying that I, Rong Xian... will chase her to the ends of the earth."

As he spoke, he inserted the incense into the Buddhist stove, turned around and left.

----

He walked out of the mountain gate and stretched, turned his head and said to Jiu Ru: "Let's go eat barbecue."

"I should go back." Jiu Ru said.

"Are you going back now?" Zhao Ran felt a little regretful, looked at his back and said, "Then I've found Miss, and I'll come find you!"

"Okay." Jiu Ru had already left without even seeing his back, but those two words seemed to be whispered in Zhao Ran's ear.

Aning said: "Young master, is it okay for you to be so...justified?"

"What's wrong, isn't it natural to marry a wife and eat meat, and live as a human being?" Zhao Ran didn't care at all, he picked up a leaf and put it in his mouth and blew it. It was so clear and upright that he couldn't even make a sound, so he blew hard, the leaves sprayed out, and there was a "flutter" sound from his mouth.

Ah Ning couldn't help saying: "Master!"

"It's so hard to blow." Zhao Ran shyly threw away all the leaves in his hands, and then got into the carriage without looking back.

He got into the carriage, and took out the Immortal Talisman of Master He's Ascension to Heaven that he brought from the He Mansion, thinking which carriage this Master He took to go to the Heavenly Palace?

It was obvious that he was unwilling to do things that required too many brains, so he simply closed his eyes and regained his composure, when he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard Aning shouting in front of him: "Who are you, why are you blocking our car?"

Zhao Ran stretched his head out of the car, and saw the man on the horse, he said "Ouch" in his heart, this man is tall and mighty, who is he if he is not the emperor's son-in-law, Wang Zeng?

He couldn't help looking around and found that although the carriage was on the official road, there were woods on both sides.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ran hurriedly raised his hand and greeted enthusiastically: "Master Consort, don't come here without any harm! I was going to your banquet, but I had no choice but to make an appointment with the Buddha to appreciate the plum blossoms. I just came back, why don't I go to the city Invite the son-in-law to drink two cups."

Wang Zeng said: "I have a courtyard here, let's drink there."

"No, no, let's go to the city to drink, it's lively."

Wang Zeng pulled the horse's rein and said, "Why, Young Master Rong doesn't like my marquis' other courtyard?"

"That can..." Zhao Ran dryly smiled.

Aning lowered his voice and said, "Master."

Zhao Ran hurriedly grabbed her, he believed that Aning had some skills, but Bai's family raised birds, if Ying Ning, who was riding an eagle, came, there might still be a slight hope of escaping.

Afraid that Aning might make a mistake, he took her hand and said with a smile: "This is the emperor's most trusted son-in-law today. It is an honor for him to invite us to drink."

After Zhao Ran finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zeng and said with a smile on his face: "The young man will be nagging the son-in-law. I will ask the servant girl to report a letter, so as not to worry the family."
