Chapter 58 Entering the temple to burn incense

When Xu Mingchen came out of Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion, he saw many carriages coming to give gifts gathered outside the door. He just took a quick glance at it. For a family as prestigious as Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion, there were naturally a lot of people going up poles to give gifts.

.

"Three--third young master?" Suddenly, an uncertain voice came from behind.

Xu Mingchen stiffened, trying to keep calm in his eyes, and quickly got into his carriage without looking back. Behind him, a man who looked like a middle-aged butler was still staring at his back with doubts on his face, until a man in rich clothes

The young master impatiently urged him to come to the door and deliver the greeting card, and then he turned around quickly and walked up the steps of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

The candlelight was bright in the room at dusk. Xu Junze stepped into the room and saw Lin Shuran sitting on a chair with her clothes unbuttoned. There was a slight sadness between her eyebrows. I don't know what she was thinking about. Could it be that she was worried about money?

"You don't have to worry about the money. I can withdraw one year's salary in advance, which is enough for the whole house!" Xu Junze did not explain to Lin Shuran where he spent the money. In short, he promised to let her and the children have money.

It's available.

Lin Shuran didn't expect that Xu Junze would talk about the money as soon as he entered the room. Knowing that he had misunderstood, he told Xu Junze that he took Xu Minghao to the Penal Department Prison to meet his friend Xiao Huzi today, and also told Xu Junze what Xiao Huzi said.

"Husband, do you think this clue should be reported to the people investigating the case from the Ministry of Justice?" Lin Shuran thought about this matter and she was not the right person to come forward. The relationship between the various governments in the capital was very complicated, and this fabric was

It is not something that ordinary people can have, so you must be careful when handling it, so as not to blindly inform the people of the Criminal Department of the clues, which will alert the snake and be detrimental to the investigation of the case.

"I will handle this matter. If someone from the Ministry of Justice comes to visit me again, just ask them to come to me! It's very late, you should go to bed early!" Xu Junze, who had not yet sat down after entering the room, turned around and left. Lin Shuran

She watched him leave without pursuing him to ask any more questions. She didn't know the situation between the DPRK and China, but the Ming family might be able to get out of this case.

As expected, good news came out of the Ming family two days later. Ming's younger brother Minghui had been released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. It was said that the Ministry of Punishment had found out that he had nothing to do with the case and that he had indeed sneaked into the Luo family that day.

After meeting Luo Juanjuan, the two had a big quarrel in Luo Juanjuan's boudoir, but a maid in Luo Mansion saw Minghui climb over the wall and leave again, and Luo Juanjuan was still alive at that time.

"Miss, I heard someone said that the reason why the young master of the Ming family climbed over the wall to see the Miss Luo family was because he knew that the Miss Luo family who was engaged to him had a crush, and he was too angry to question him. How could he have thought of Luo Jia?

Not only did Miss Jia admit it, she also wanted to break off the engagement with the Ming family, and even said——" Chunxi, who had just come back from outside, told Lin Shuran the fresh gossip news on the street, but she looked a little embarrassed when she said this.

A look of disdain.

Lin Shuran's eyes signaled her to continue. Minghui had just been released from the Criminal Department, and the details of the case were revealed. She always felt that this seemed like someone did it deliberately, and it was more like Xiao Chen's style of handling cases.

Early in the morning, Lin Shuran had several carriages packed up. Today was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve, and she would take her thirteen stepsons to Long'an Temple to burn incense.

In previous years, when Xu Junze was here, he would take Xu Mingchen and the others to Long'an Temple. If he was not here, Xu An and his servants would escort them there. This year, although Xu Junze was in Beijing, he was tied up with official business and could not go, so

It was up to her, the mistress, to take them to the temple.

"Mother, I will take my brothers to the Palace of Purity first!" When they arrived at Long'an Temple, Xu Mingchen, who was more familiar with this place, said to Lin Shuran.

Perhaps the Buddha has been in the world for a long time and has been tainted with some secular rules. As a member of the privileged class, the Xu family's carriage entered Long'an Temple smoothly without being blocked, and the Zen room and temple used for rest were also unobstructed.

It was prepared for the Xu family early.

Firecrackers are going off outside the mansion, and it will be New Year's Eve in two days. At this time of year, everyone from the Jin Dynasty to the royal family and common people are busy worshiping their ancestors, but at this time, the General's Mansion is always deserted, like

As if he had no roots and no sect, the ancestral hall was empty.

The Xu family's carriage did not enter through the main entrance of Long'an Temple. As one of the three most popular temples in the capital, Long'an Temple has many pilgrims every day, and it is even more overcrowded at the end of the year. The monks in the temple will come out to maintain order.

, not too many pilgrims will be allowed in at once.

Lin Shuran just smiled after hearing this, and her intuition told her that the case was probably not too far away from being solved.

In addition, Chunxi also told Lin Shuran that this matter was being spread outside, and everyone was guessing that the person who killed Luo Juanjuan was probably her sweetheart, and the identity of that person might be the prince of a certain family.

However, Xu Mingchen and his stepsons will go to Long'an Temple to burn incense on the day before New Year's Eve, because it is where their loved ones who have passed away are enshrined, which is their past and where they come from.

Chunxi moved closer to Lin Shuran with a mysterious look on her face, lowered her head and whispered: "Miss Luo family also told the young master of Ming family that she was pregnant with his child, and her marriage to the Ming family was cancelled!"

At this time, even Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan, who were usually the liveliest in the past, would become unusually quiet, and Xu Mingye, who was seriously injured this time, would also go with them.

On this day, it will be very lively inside and outside the capital. The temples and nunneries are even more crowded, with believers burning incense and worshiping Buddha in an endless stream. The more lively it sounds outside, the more silent the children of the Xu family in the carriage will be.

, even Xu Shisan, who was held in the nanny’s arms, didn’t say a word along the way.

Lin Shuran nodded. She had asked Xu An a long time ago. On this day every year, Xu Mingchen would take the children of the Xu family to the Palace of the Past and follow the monks in the temple to chant sutras and chant Buddha for the deceased. She would not go there and disturb them to "get along" with their relatives.

time.

When Xu Mingchen and the others went to the Palace of Purity, Lin Shuran also took a leisurely stroll around Long'an Temple. There were many pilgrims in the majestic Buddha hall, and the cold air was gradually warmed by the rising cold sun.

Perhaps it was because of coming to a temple filled with gods and Buddhas. As soon as you enter this place, you can't help but feel awe. Lin Shuran looked at the Buddha in the hall and looked at all living beings with compassion. For some reason, a line came out of her eyes.

The clear tears came, and Chunxi who was watching aside was shocked.
