Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 75 Qinglu Temple

   "This way." Qi Shuo led Lin Hao to the flower stand with a calm expression, "Is Miss Lin looking for me?"

  Lin Hao looked at Prince Jing's calm face and hesitated.

   I always feel that Prince Jing is not very good at fooling around.

   Seeing that she was silent, Qi Shuo did not urge him, a gentle smile hung on his lips.

   There was no human voice for a while, only the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects.

   "That's it—" Lin Hao was at a loss in his heart, and his face was very calm, "I heard from the county master that the prince has been coming to the palace a lot recently."

  Qi Shuo gave her a deep look and nodded, "Yes."

   "Is there anyone with the surname Fang beside him?"

   "I never noticed that there is such a person." Qi Shuo's eyes were slightly dark, making it difficult to see the depth, "Miss Lin Er knows that person?"

  Lin Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but I suddenly had a dream—"

   Qi Shuo put on a listening gesture.

"I dreamed that this person surnamed Fang turned into a giant tiger, opened his mouth and devoured Prince Jing's mansion." Lin Hao saw that Qi Shuo didn't show a funny look, so he made it up more naturally, "The more I think about it, the more I feel this dream. Weird, so I want to remind the prince."

   Qi Shuo had a smile in his eyes: "Thank you, Miss Lin, for reminding me."

   He thanked him so easily, without even a single question, which made Lin Hao feel unreal.

   "It's just a dream... The prince just needs to pay attention to this person."

   Don't you think her words are ridiculous?

   Qi Shuo said sternly: "There are no unprovoked dreams, I will pay special attention to this person."

  Lin Hao was silent.

  If a person like Prince Jing goes to a fortune teller, his family will be fooled by the fortune teller, right?

  Qi Shuo chuckled: "Does Miss Lin have other dreams to tell me?"

   Lin Hao's mouth twitched slightly: "I thought... the prince would not believe this."

   She also prepared a lot of rhetoric to persuade him, and even prepared that he thought she was sick.

   Was it a little too smooth?

   Qi Shuo's tone was slightly surprised: "How come, I think what Miss Lin Er said is believable."

  Lin Hao's thoughts were a little subtle at this moment.

   There were footsteps running in the distance.

   "Second Miss Lin, walk slowly, I won't give it away." Having said this, Qi Shuo paused, then smiled with his lips bent, "If you have another dream about me in the future, please remind me."

   "Oh——" Lin Hao wanted to emphasize that it was about the dream of Prince Jing's mansion. The young man had already walked out of the flower stand and went to the direction where the servant was running.

   Back in the garden of the General's Mansion, Lin Hao sat on the bench and went out for a while.

  Prince Jing believes this. Then he should remind Prince Jing to pay attention to Fang Chengji. If he can detect Fang Chengji's unfavorable actions to Prince Jing's residence, he may be able to avoid the fate of the whole family.

  However—how could Prince Jing believe in other people’s dreams so easily!

   Thinking of this, Lin Hao didn't know how to evaluate Qi Shuo.

   Saying that he is a bit stupid, it is inappropriate for people to trust themselves so much.

   Well, Prince Jing is an honest man.

   "Well, why are you sitting here?"

  Lin Hao regained his senses and looked at the girl who came.

   "Miss."

  Lin Chan came to sit next to her, stretched out her hand and pinched her reddish cheeks: "It's been so long since I've been sitting, my face has turned a little red. Even though it's autumn, I can't stay outside all the time at noon."

   "Is there?" Lin Hao touched his cheek and asked with a smile, "Is the eldest sister here to find me?"

   "Mother said to take us to Qinglu Temple for incense in two days, have you packed your things?"

  Qinglu Temple is located on the outskirts of Beijing. Although it is not as convenient as going to large and small temples in Beijing, it is full of incense. It is said that whether it is seeking wealth, future, marriage, or children, it is very effective.

   "Ah, yes, I'm going to Qinglu Temple." Lin Hao thought about it.

  Lin Chan shook his head helplessly: "When mother said this, I noticed that you were absent-minded, and you really didn't listen."

  Lin Hao smiled.

  Recently, there are indeed more things on my mind, and I have neglected some of the daily life.

   "Why do you suddenly want to go to Qinglu Temple?"

  Lin Chan blushed slightly: "It's good to go out for a walk while it's still cold, to save my mother from being bored at home all day."

   Looking at the eldest sister's reaction, Lin was amused: "I see, are you going to seek marriage for the eldest sister?"

  Lin Chan raised her hand and hit her: "Don't make fun of me, you're not too young, so please beg together."

   Afraid that her sister would joke again, Lin Chan pulled Lin Hao up: "Quickly pack up, my mother said that she will stay in Qinglu Temple for two days. It's not as convenient to go out as at home, so you should bring everything with you."

  Lin Hao returned to Luoyingju and instructed Baozhu to make a lot of cakes to bring with him.

   After two days, Mrs. Lin went out with her two daughters and went outside the city.

   Once out of the city, the mountains and the wilderness, the autumn is more intense.

  Lin Hao lifted the curtains of the car and looked at the scenery outside the car.

   "Is there anything beautiful outside, you can't take your eyes off it?" Lin Chan, who was in the same car with her, came over.

   "Sister, look at the golden yellow in the fields and the maple leaves dyed red by frost, how beautiful." Lin Hao was clearly in a good mood, and pointed out the car window with a smile.

   She walked this road.

   It was the twelfth lunar month when she escaped from the capital. There was no intoxicating scenery of golden yellow and light red along the way, only barren hills and withered grass, and her eyes were bleak. Just like her despair and helplessness, unable to see the way forward.

   Now that I can go to incense with my mother and sister leisurely, only she knows the joy in my heart.

  Lin Chan smiled and looked outside.

  The messy hooves quickly came from far and near, and several young people rode their horses.

  The horse ran past the carriage, stirring up a gust of wind and dust.

  Lin Chan lowered the curtains of the car with a subtle expression: "Second sister, can you see who the few people who just rode past?"

  Lin Hao's eyes were good. Although those people passed by quickly, they saw two familiar faces.

   "Looks like I saw Wen Feng."

   Another familiar face is the champion Yang Zhe.

  Lin Chan sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect this cousin to be the most promising in the Wen family."

  Lin laughed.

  Wen Feng is a good person, but if something like that happened, it is destined to be impossible to get close.

  Lin Chan obviously knew this, and quickly changed the subject: "At this time, there should be a lot of people going to Qinglu Temple..."

  Lin Hao took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it over.

  The carriage went on for more than an hour and finally arrived at Qinglu Temple.

  Qinglu Temple is located halfway up the mountain, and you need to walk up the mountain. Fortunately, the mountain is not high, and after walking a little sweat, you reach the gate of the mountain temple.

   Zhike monk led the mother and daughter to the place in the temple where pilgrims were placed, and soon there was a little novice who came to Suzhai.

   The little novice is seven or eight years old, and he is very cute.

  Lin Haosai gave him a packet of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and the little novice thanked him repeatedly, showing a smile that lacked front teeth.

   "The donor can go to the west, where the maple forest is beautiful."

   "Thank you little master for reminding me." Lin Hao said with a smile.

   The little novice was a little embarrassed, hid the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his arms and walked away quickly.

   After taking a break from vegetarian food, Mrs. Lin took the two sisters to incense, but she didn’t expect to meet someone she knew.
