Chapter 191 Small Tea House under Lingguang Temple
"I didn't expect that you had a lot of ideas."
"It's your wife who teaches well."
Fang Ling looked at Xiangmei with some surprise. She had always been very dependent on this big girl, because her elves had to reassure her. She knew many things without saying a sound and completed them silently.
Just as she gave Qin Lianqiu medicine before, she found those drugs, and even Fang Ling didn't know the way.
Just as now, when it is time to analyze the problem for her, she will not be ambiguous. She knows when to speak and when to be silent. This is also the reason why she can stay with Fang Ling for six years and has not been replaced. Instead, she is treated better than other maids.
Those who know the current affairs are handsome. When they see the wind and steer these skills, Xiangmei is perfect.
At this moment, she solved another problem for Fang Ling. Fang Ling felt that Xiangmei's idea was very good, so he nodded and immediately took her down the mountain.
The people arranged by Fang Ling are at the foot of the mountain. This Lingguang Temple is also strange. It is the most effective blessing temple in Changdu, but it is built on the mountain. Many people who come to pray for blessings have to climb the mountain hummingly. This is also the reason why Fang Ling gave up following Qin Lianqiu to come to Lingguang Temple and monitor her closely.
Lingguang Temple is on the top of the mountain, and the mountainside is full of lush trees. Not to mention people, beasts are almost there. Therefore, the people she arranged could only be at the foot of the mountain and could not monitor Qin Lianqiu at all.
When the master and servant walked to the foot of the mountain, it was almost noon. They were tired, hungry and thirsty. The mountain road was so narrow that they could not carry the sedan chair up the mountain at all, so they had to walk by themselves when they went up the mountain, especially when they went down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a teahouse for incense guests to rest. It is better to say that it is a few pergolas. There is a woman in her 40s selling some tea and pastries there. The person arranged by Fang Ling is also nearby, but she has always contacted intermediaries, so there are so many fragrant guests at the foot of the mountain, who works for her. , she doesn't know either.
She asked Xiangmei to ask the boss's wife of the tea shop. After thinking about it, the boss's wife immediately said, "There are several men who have indeed come to the teahouse to rest every day for more than a month. A break is almost a day, and they don't go up the mountain or anything. At first, I was a little worried about whether they wanted to rob money. Later, I was relieved to see that they would pay for tea every day before leaving.
Speaking of this, the boss's wife also smiled and asked, "I don't know why the little girl inquired about these people?"
Xiangmei saw the wrinkled face of the boss's wife, and she had been cooking tea all year round. Some of Fan Hei's fingers couldn't help frowning slightly. She did not answer the boss's question, but gave her some broken silver and continued to ask, "Are those people there now?"
The boss's wife got the money, and her eyes were about to narrow into a slit. She immediately put away the silver, then looked around, shook her head and said in surprise, "Huh? Usually, they should have come at this time. Why don't they see anyone today?
Hearing this, Xiangmei stuffed some broken silver for her and said, "My wife and I are sitting over there. Don't entertain other Xiang guests to sit over. Bring us a pot of tea and some good cakes. When those people come, come and inform us."
got the benefits and naturally had to do things for others. The boss's wife immediately nodded like pounding garlic and groping out a small bag of tea from under the table and said, "Collecting tea will definitely treat the lady and the lady!"
"Quickly make some tea. My wife is thirsty."
"I got it!"
After Xiangmei went back, she told Fang Ling the news she had inquired about. Fang Ling immediately showed an impatient look on her face and looked at the boss's wife from afar. The boss's wife was looking at them and waved to greet them with a smile. Fang Ling withdrew her eyes suspiciously and said angrily, "Is it? Are we going to wait here all the time?
"Madam, if we go back like this, how will you explain to the master?"
When Fang Ling heard this, her heart was even more anxious. How could she not know the consequences of going back like this now?
Gu Shixing had no way to let her attack Qin Lianqiu. As a result, she didn't receive it. If she couldn't even figure out where the other party was going, she would definitely have no good fruit to eat after returning home.
Even though she knew from the beginning that Gu Shixing was only one of her gold owners, but... Because of this, she was also more aware of her situation. When Gu Shixing was happy, she could be the "hostess" of the Gu family. If Gu Shixing was unhappy, she would immediately become a concubine who was not even worse than her servants.
Fang Ling was immediately discouraged when she was reminded by Xiangmei. She pointed to the stool beside her and said to Xiangmei, "You are also tired all the way. Sit down and have a rest."
"I don't dare..."
"If you sit down, just sit down! You have been with me for so many years. Although I am very strict with you, you have been with me for so long. How long have I treated you?
Xiangmei thought about it in her heart, then nodded and sat down slowly and said, "Thank you, madam."
When the boss's wife brought tea and pastries, Xiangmei served Fang Ling to drink tea and eat. The boss's wife stood not far away with a smile. When the two of them had almost eaten, she came over and said, "Miss, madam, the people you are waiting for are here."
After saying that, he looked not far behind them. Fang Ling and Xiangmei looked back together and saw several big men really coming this way with a smile. The leader was a particularly powerful man.
"Pang, you said that Mrs. Gu has left. What are we doing here?"
"You know nothing. There must be a beginning and an end. If there is no news from the employer, we naturally have to wait here."
"But..."
Pang Xiong stared at the tiger next to him. The tiger was also from the tiger village. When An Yu and the others returned, they came down from the clip mountain and secretly replaced the people who were usually monitored in this tea shop. Naturally, the boss's wife had already changed people.
The two cooperated very tacitly. Fang Ling immediately believed that the person who came was arranged by herself. She immediately stood up and said to Pang Xia, "Is the hero Hu Heizi's contact to protect Mrs. Gu here?"
Her words are very euphemistic, called protection, but secretly surveillance. In this blue sky and day, it is not abrupt to say. Moreover, although the Lingguang Temple is a little remote, it is really a famous temple in Changdu, so there are many rich ladies who come to know Fang Ling.
Pang Xi saw Fang Ling talking like this and smiled hard in his heart: "This must be the second lady of the Gu family, right? Please sit down!"
After saying that, she took the lead in sitting down. Although Fang Ling was unhappy, she did not dare to show it. After all, she did not dare to offend these reckless men in this suburb. In case something really happens, it will not be cost-effective.
So Fang Ling could only suppress her dissatisfaction and still talked with Pang Xia with a smile: "Sirty heroes have worked hard today. I don't know if you saw them when the eldest lady left Lingguang Temple yesterday?"
Pang Xie and the others deliberately waited until now to come out, in order to let their master and servant eat well before coming out. Seeing Fang Ling, he directly asked Qin Lianqiu directly. Pang Xie was not ambiguous. After drinking a mouthful of water, he nodded and said, "Of course, we are very professional, since we agree. Madam is guarding here, and naturally she saw the eldest lady leave with her own eyes.
"So...didn't you follow it?"
"What do you think?"
Pang Xi took a blind glance at Fang Ling, which was particularly disgusted and impatient, which made Fang Ling unhappy and a little afraid.
She took a look at Xiangmei, and Xiangmei didn't seem to expect that these vulgar mountain and wild people would show their disgust so directly.
Although Xiangmei usually seems to be a close person around Fang Ling, she knows that it is just for survival. Therefore, she was actually a little happy when she saw Pang Xi's snorting.
Seeing that Fang Ling was honest and stopped asking, Pang Xi said slowly, "I sent two brothers and secretly followed them."
"Thank you for a few chivalrous men."
Fang Ling immediately changed his words from a hero to a chivalrous man. The difference in this word really made people sound a little different. After Pang Xizheng was sitting, he still looked at Fang Ling disdainfully.
Fang Ling winked at Xiangmei. Xiangmei naturally understood what she meant, immediately took out the money bag from her sleeve, then took out a piece of silver from the money bag, and said to Pang She, "This is a reward for you by my wife. Thank you for your hard work these days."
"Tiger, take it! Then tell the second lady what happened after you followed the first lady yesterday?
Huzi immediately collected the money with a smile, and then looked around mysteriously. The other party whispered, "Second lady, please come with me. It's not convenient to talk here."
Although he was still a little wary of them, he was more eager to know where Qin Lianqiu was going, which completely made Fang Ling ignore the potential danger. After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and followed Pang Xie and others with Xiangmei and walked out of the tea shop.
The boss's wife touched her chin with a smile and looked at the direction they left, with a cunning smile.
Several people walked to the woods together. When Fang Ling was about to ask, Huzi said to her, "Yesterday, when they went down the mountain, there was already a carriage waiting at the tea shop. It was Master Gu Er and the second young lady who came to pick them up."
Fang Ling nodded and looked around with some vigilance. The alert in her heart gradually deepened, but after hearing Hu Zi's words, she couldn't help but want to know the following.
"And then?"
"Originally, when we saw that their son and daughter-in-law came to pick up people, we didn't plan to pursue them any more. As a result, we overheard the second young master say that they didn't go home, and then let me continue to follow."
Hearing this, Fang Ling was already a little impatient. All she wanted to know was where Qin Lianqiu was at present. As a result, these fools had to bring them to the woods to talk, and they still couldn't say the point. She was anxious and asked directly, "Then where did they take people?"
