"The capital is indeed a geomantic treasure. Look, the incense in Jinming Temple is getting better and better every day."

Lu Hanjiang looked at the mountain gate, which was more magnificent than a few years ago, and couldn't help but sigh. Apart from the Shaolin Temple in the North and South, Jinming Temple is probably the most popular Buddhist temple in the world today.

"Master, let's go in." Lao Qian said, while giving A Yuan a wink at the side.

A Yuan understood what Lao Qian meant and quietly stepped aside. When he entered the mountain gate, the other party had disappeared. Only Lao Qian and Lu Hanjiang entered Jinming Temple.

The monk Zhike was very discerning and came forward to guide the way. These two people, the master was well-dressed and the old servant had an unusual demeanor. They were obviously not ordinary people.

Being warmly entertained by Zhike Monk, when he heard that Lu Hanjiang wanted to see the Yaohua Mirror in the Bodhi Pond, the young monk agreed with a smile and led the two of them to the back mountain.

During this period of time, Ayuan quietly finished inquiring about the information and returned to Lu Hanjiang's side without attracting the attention of others, as if he had always been there.

When he arrived in front of the Bodhi Pond, the young monk put his hands together and bowed respectfully and stepped aside. A Yuan took the opportunity to come up to Lu Hanjiang and whispered: "Master, we have found out."

Lu Hanjiang took some bait from Lao Qian and threw it into the pond. He asked without raising his eyes, "Who is the other party?"

A Yuan's expression was a little strange, and his voice was even lower: "It's the home of two girls. They seem to be a pair of master and servant. From the subordinates' perspective, they act like a rough man, but their behavior and conversation are very good. I'm afraid they are from an extraordinary family. "

"Aristocratic family?" Lu Hanjiang said in surprise.

A Yuan shook his head, while Lao Qian frowned and said: "If it is a noble family, why would they send two girls who are not familiar with the world? Is it a misunderstanding?"

Even Lao Qian himself didn't believe what he said. He pondered for a moment and decided to go and have a look for himself. But before he could set out, the other party came to his door.

A girl in a green shirt appeared from the other side of the Bodhi Pond with her accompanying maid. Judging from her [-]-year-old Hua Hao teeth and white lips, the most impressive thing about her bright face was her pair of smart eyes.

When the two people met, the girl in green shirt showed obvious surprise in her eyes when she saw Lu Hanjiang, but she still smiled gracefully and gave him a blessing.

Then the girl in green shirt took her maid and stood only a few feet away from Lu Hanjiang. She looked down at the Yaohua mirror in the pool and remained silent.

Lao Qian cast a searching look at the two girls, but looked away just for a moment. He stood behind Lu Hanjiang with his hands lowered without saying a word, and A Yuan was as motionless as a wooden stake.

Lu Hanjiang was minding his own business by sprinkling bait into the pool. Looking at him intently, he seemed to be able to keep playing like this for most of the day.

After all, the two girls were too thin-skinned to bear the weird atmosphere. The girl in green shirt said with a smile: "Young Master likes the fish in this pond very much?"

Lu Hanjiang slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the girl in green shirt. He seemed to have just noticed her and said in slight surprise: "This girl, who are you?"

The expression of the girl in the green shirt froze, and most of her momentum immediately dissipated. However, she was not discouraged. She quickly regained her composure and continued to speak warmly: "Yao Hua Ming Jing is the famous spiritual fish of Jin Ming Temple. People say that this Bodhi Pond is the most efficacious." , Master, do you have something difficult to explain?"

Lu Hanjiang said in surprise: "I'm sorry for my blindness, but does the girl recognize me?"

The girl in green shirt was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's the first time the young lady meets the young master, so naturally she doesn't recognize him."

"In that case, I just asked the girl about her origins and why she was talking about him." Lu Hanjiang's expression suddenly became solemn: "Is it possible that the girl has something to hide?"

The look in his eyes seemed to say that the two of them were some kind of sneaky people. The girl in green shirt felt slightly annoyed, secretly cursing that this man was just a piece of wood.

But seeing that the other party's eyes were becoming more and more unkind, she had an idea and said quickly: "Wait a minute! May I ask if the young master's surname is Lu?" Lu Hanjiang pretended to be surprised and said: "How did the girl know?"

The girl in green shirt secretly thought she was lucky, but when she saw that the other party insisted on breaking the casserole, she could only say vaguely: "The little lady - she saw the young master's bicycle frame coming out of the Lu Mansion, so she asked this question, the young master does not need to be suspicious."

"Oh?" Lu Hanjiang stopped pretending to be surprised and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "So, the girl followed the carriage and horse all the way from the city to here?"

The girl in green shirt nodded sheepishly. Lu Hanjiang showed a clear expression, and then ordered the attendant beside him: "Ayuan, report to the official."

"Yes." Ah Yuan responded and turned around to do it.

"Hey! Wait-!"

The girl in green shirt was dumbfounded. She didn't expect the other party to be so decisive. Suddenly, A Yuan was about to walk out of the Bodhi Pond.

The girl in green shirt finally became anxious. She was not afraid of official duties. The main thing was that if she was found out about this matter, she would definitely be humiliated. It would be impossible for her to act as randomly as she did today.

"Sir, wait a minute! The little girl's surname is Chen!"

Seeing Lu Hanjiang's smiling expression without saying a word, the girl in green shirt bit her thin lips and added: "My father, Chen Zihua!"

"Ayuan, come back."

Lu Hanjiang called A Yuan back and asked patiently: "I don't know how the daughter of the Chen family master became a thief. This sneaky behavior is not like the behavior of a family member."

These words made the other party's maid look full of displeasure, but Miss Chen herself was too embarrassed to reply.

However, she seemed unwilling to defend her character. Miss Chen directly skipped the topic and kept talking about the preface: "Young master has not yet answered my little girl, is your surname Lu?"

"Girl, can't you see that?" Lu Hanjiang was noncommittal.

Miss Chen's eyes were sly and she said: "If you want a little girl, the young master's surname is Lu. Moreover, he is the right-hand man trusted by Mr. Lu. Is this wrong?"

Lu Hanjiang, who was about to confess his identity, hesitated for a moment, then he suddenly remembered that his image in the eyes of others was that of a middle-aged man.

But even so, he was still quite curious. He asked, "Why did the girl say that?"

Hearing this question, Miss Chen was full of confidence. She said: "People in the Lu family usually use only two kinds of bicycles for traveling. One is the official bicycle used by Mr. Lu, and the other is the bicycle used by the princess. Although the young master's bicycle does not have any markings, , but being able to come out from the back door of Lu Mansion speaks volumes."

"I see, Miss Chen has a sharp eye," Lu Hanjiang said with a smile, "I just have another question, why is Miss Chen spying on the minister's mansion in broad daylight?"

Miss Chen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Little girl - I want to see Mr. Lu, and I would like to ask the young master to make it easier for me."

"This is not appropriate." Lu Hanjiang looked at Miss Chen with a strange look.

Although the current laws on men and women are not strict enough to require women to stay at home, they are not open enough to allow lonely men and widows to meet privately.

It was barely acceptable for the two of them to meet in this pure place of Buddhism. After all, there were outsiders present, but if they met in private, it would be unreasonable.
