Chapter 2278 Two Women
Ding Atao couldn't help but blush, but fortunately, Wen Yun beside her was kind enough to support her all the way, so that she wouldn't be too embarrassing.

Fortunately, as soon as she entered the temple gate, a Taoist priest reported to Wuyuan.Wuyuan greeted her immediately, exchanged warm greetings, and then took her on a tour of the temple, first offering incense in the main hall, and then in the nearby Prince's Hall.After all the temples had finished offering incense, they were sent to the quiet room in the backyard to rest.

Because it was a female guest, it was inconvenient for Taoist Priest to stay in the quiet room for a long time, so he left after saying some flattering words.Fortunately, this kind of big temple usually employs some eloquent female intellectuals who are happy when the master sees them, and they specially accompany the family members of the rich families who come to offer incense to talk.These people can not only observe words, but also speak well.Ding Atao's eyebrows were quickly coaxed to relax, as the saying goes, "Today I know that the life of the rich is better than you imagined."

Yi Haoran saw that Ding Atao had settled down, he resigned and came out - it was not convenient for him to stay in the room for a long time to avoid suspicion.

The yard was quiet, except for Ding Atao and his party in the three east wing rooms, there was no one in the other houses.Cai Lan probably hasn't arrived yet?Yi Haoran felt a little anxious, but thinking that he had met Qiuchan the day before, she didn't mention that things had changed.

Don't be impatient, Yi Haoran secretly warned himself.Silently thinking about how to persuade Cai Lan for a while.

The location of the yard is very quiet, and there are many big trees around, which shade the sun. Walking under the trees, the cool breeze is blowing, and you can't feel the heat of summer at all.In order to please the women of the rich family, Daoist Wuyuan put a lot of thought into it. Not only did he plant flowers and trees in the courtyard, but he also opened up a small garden behind the main house, decorated with flowers, trees, lake stones,

"This Taoist knows how to enjoy it!" Yi Haoran secretly cursed in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't think about what he could do to Cai Lan after he persuaded her.But at least Cai Lan is Xie Kun's bedside person—even if she can't influence the Kun thief, at least she can know a lot about the Kun thief.There may be useful information to be gained from it.

He was lost in thought, when suddenly the voice of Daoist Wu Yuan came from outside the yard: "Please this way, this way please." He was surprised: Cai Lan must have arrived!

Yi Haoran got up quickly, and turned to behind the eaves curtain of the East Wing.Sure enough, after a short while, he saw Jiang Qiuchan walking in accompanied by a young woman, followed by several male and female servants.

As soon as she entered the gate, Qiuchan stopped her footsteps and said to the male servant: "You guys wait outside this courtyard." After finishing speaking, she held Cai Lan's arm and said softly, "Miss, be careful where you step."

Cai Lan nodded slightly.Today, I came to Longmu Temple to relax. Although the sun was poisonous when I went out, it was the first time I went out in a few months. I got on the sedan chair and looked at the street scene outside. The pain washed away quite a bit.However, as soon as she reached the steps at the gate of the Dragon Mother Temple, the past of assassinating Xie Erren here instantly resurfaced in her mind. Cai Lan felt ashamed and ashamed, wishing to rush out of the sedan chair and jump directly into the rolling Guijiang River.

It was Qiuchan who cared for her, seeing that she hadn't got out of the sedan chair for a long time, she suddenly realized something, and quickly ordered the bearer to get up again and enter through the side door.

A delay at the gate exhausted all the thoughts of sightseeing, so Cai Lan wanted to go back directly if she wanted to, but Qiuchan urged her: since she came here to offer incense and entered the gate of the temple, there is no reason not to worship.It's terrible to blame the gods!Cai Lan heard the words, so she had to get out of the sedan chair and go to the Dragon Mother Hall to offer incense.

Wuyuan is the most considerate, knowing Cai Lan's heart disease, so he sent a little Taoist priest early to clear the area around the Dragon Mother Hall and the pilgrims in the hall, and stop them outside the courtyard.In order not to make Miss Cai unhappy by discussing with other people.

When Cai Lan entered the Dragon Mother Temple, she saw the majestic appearance of the idol, but it also showed love and compassion. There were five little dragons coiled on the lotus pedestal under her feet, with an intimate expression, like a child.She just felt that the statue in front of her was so kind, as if it was her mother who had passed away for many years.The grievances, fears, and resentments of these days...all flooded into my heart, and I couldn't hold it back any longer, and immediately collapsed on the ground, tears gushing like springs.

Daoist Wuyuan was caught off guard, and hurried up to comfort him: "Girl, girl, don't do this, don't do this."

Qiuchan hurried up to support her, and comforted her in a low voice.

It took a long time for Cai Lan to stop crying. When she cried so loudly, she cried out the stagnation of these days, and she felt a lot more relaxed.He closed his voice and said, "Sister Qiuchan, help me make an offering."

The host here has already prepared rattan futons for the big families to offer incense. Qiuchan also presented the offerings and lit the Tibetan incense. Cai Lan took it and prayed silently.

Cai Lan entered the incense, and Qiuchan also burned incense and prayed.Then, as usual, incense was offered in each hall one by one.Then he came down to the backyard under the guidance of the host.

Jiang Qiuchan led Cai Lan into the courtyard, but saw a voice in the east wing, and knew that it must be the female relative of the Luo family that Yi Haoran mentioned.Then look at the figure of a man swaying behind the curtain under the eaves and porch of the East Wing—probably Master Hao.She deliberately slowed down.

Yi Haoran saw Jiang Qiuchan's gaze projected towards this side, and slowed down again. Knowing that she had noticed him, he slightly pulled the curtain a few times, only to see Qiuchan nodded slightly, and walked over with Cai Lan.

After entering the main room, there were already prepared melons and fruits to cool off the heat, and someone brought cold water and towels for Cai Lan to wash.After Cai Lan finished washing, she rested in the east room.Qiuchan took the opportunity to come out.

Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, Yi Haoran quietly walked out from behind the curtain, gestured to Qiuchan, and pointed to the banana tree in the corner of the courtyard.Qiuchan nodded slightly, and saw that no one was paying attention to her in the main room, her heart was beating wildly, and she felt an inexplicable thrill of doing something bad.

There are a few lake stones dotted behind the banana tree in the corner of the courtyard and covered by flowers and trees. It is a good place to talk in private.Yi Haoran asked in a low voice: "How is Miss Cai?"

"Today I was a little lazy and didn't want to come. I teased her for a long time, and I made an agreement that it would be inconvenient to change, so she came out." Qiuchan said, "I cried a lot when I was in the incense—it looked like I was in a bad mood. It's much better. It's just that she's a little tired now, and she's resting in the Snapper."

"You did a good job." Yi Haoran praised, "You are really a hero among women."

This praise made Qiuchan's heart thump wildly, thumping.Although the Mr. Hao in front of him is over fifty years old, he is imposing, with a calm demeanor in every gesture, and he is kind and sensible when he speaks angrily - if you talk about it, your husband is far inferior to him...

"Sir, you're overrated." Qiuchan felt a little shy.

Yi Haoran didn't notice the state of mind of the little girl in front of him at all, he just talked about his own arrangement:

"At noon, we will deliver the vegetarian food. After eating, you have to persuade Cai Lan to go out to eat some food." He pointed to the moon cave door next to the corridor in the main room. "There is a small garden in that door. Wait there. You just need to try to let Cai Lan in. I will do the rest."

Qiuchan nodded silently, and said: "I understand. It's just that Miss Cai's mood is up and down. Be careful when entrusting things to her, don't touch her sore spot."

Yi Haoran went back to the corridor, where the little Taoist priest brought fragrant tea, but it was lotus leaf tea.Ding Atao used to drink this kind of tea at the head of the local Rice and Grain Association. It was made by the Taoist priests of Longmu Temple, and it is the most precious.Taoist priests usually use this as a gift to the big families in the city.Drinking it in my own mouth at this moment is naturally a different feeling.

Seeing Yi Haoran refusing to come in under the eaves of the corridor, she asked Wen Yun to send him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Aunt Wen." Yi Haoran took the tea and said seriously.

Wen Yun covered his mouth with a tea tray and smiled, "Mr. Hao, you are always so polite."

"Where, this is etiquette." Yi Haoran said.

"Your courtesy is really considerate, you really are a scholar." Wen Yun put down the tea tray with an innocent look on his face, "Why don't you go in and sit in the house? Not under the eaves of this porch."

"It's breathable and windy here." Seeing her innocence, Yi Haoran said with a smile, "Besides, I'm a man, and I'm sweating profusely in the hot weather. Wouldn't it be fuming my wife in the room?"

"Our family is in business, so how can we be so particular about it." Wen Yun said, "My wife doesn't pay much attention to this either."

"That being said, the sages say: don't look at evil, listen to evil, speak evil, and move evil." Yi Haoran liked her innocence, and smiled, "Men and women are different, you and your wife are in the house , Of course I shouldn't be in there."

"Oh, Mr. Hao, you are such a sour-talent!"

Yi Haoran laughed loudly, and said: "Auntie is right, Hao is a sour guy who regards the words of saints as his standard."

Wen Yun froze for a moment, covered his mouth with a veil and smiled, "Sir, it's really interesting. By the way, sir, I saw you go behind the banana tree just then? Is there anything interesting behind it?"

Yi Haoran was startled, he didn't expect that this little girl would see it!He hurriedly concealed it and said: "I saw some plantains that were lovely green, so I went over to have a look-it really is a beautiful scene in a pot, so I sat there for a while."

Wen Yun didn't know what a "scenic spot in a pot" was, and was about to ask a question, when he saw a little Taoist priest entering the door with a tray, and a firework Taoist coming in with a food box behind him, so he knew that he was delivering lunch, so he hurriedly said: "The temple brought us lunch. Let's go eat."

The Eight Immortals table has already been set up in the hallway of the wing room, and the dishes and chopsticks are arranged.After all, the Luo family is a family of merchants, and they don't pay attention to etiquette like Yi Haoran. Naturally, he can't be too pedantic, so he had to sue and take a seat on the banquet table.

There are not many meals on the table, but they are quite elegant: stewed hair vegetables with mushrooms; cold whipped bamboo shoots; vegetarian goose; Luo Hanzhai, another large bowl of shrimp ball soup, snow-white shrimp balls and tender yellow chives floating on the soup surface, watching Just tempting.The meal is lotus leaf porridge cooked with local basmati rice, and there is also a plate of shredded silver.

The little Taoist also sent Guilin Sanhua wine, a famous product in Guangxi, and four dried and fresh fruits to go with the wine.Ding Atao was in a good mood, so he asked everyone to have a drink.
