Qingyan asked Chou Chou to use her spiritual consciousness to get the piece of paper from the old doctor's sleeve pocket. Of course, in order not to be discovered, she put another piece of paper in his sleeve pocket instead.
In this way, they can change it back after reading it, so as not to alert others.
If these two are just messengers, maybe they can catch some big fish later.
Qingyan felt quite excited when she thought of this. She loved playing games like guessing puzzles and solving crimes.
In the past, when watching TV, she liked to watch the kind of crime investigation and guessing who the murderer was together. The sense of participation was very exciting.
After getting the note, Qingyan opened it and read it.
The other party was so mysterious that I originally thought that even if it was a message, it would be a code or something, at least it wouldn't be understandable if someone intercepted it.
I didn't expect it to be very straightforward. I probably thought that no one would find out. The old doctor would probably burn it directly after reading it, so I wrote it very straightforwardly.
It says directly on it that we will meet in the third studio in the backyard of Qingyuan Temple the day after tomorrow.
The writing is quite clear, the time and place are there, but there are no characters, and I don’t know who met whom.
Is it Aunt Chen and this old doctor? Or is it that Aunt Chen wants to pass this letter to another person through the old doctor and meet that person.
Now we can only keep an eye on the third dining room of Qingyuan Temple. Anyway, it won’t be long, it’s just the day after tomorrow.
It just so happened that Qingyan would also go there to visit the temple fair, so it would be no problem to keep an eye on her with her spiritual consciousness.
If she were in the city, it would be a bit difficult to see the Qingyuan Temple. After all, her consciousness could only cover a limited area, so she might not be able to detect that far. They would have no problem near the temple fair.
Of course, you can also let Chou Chou stare, but in that case you can only listen to Chou Chou describe the situation there, which lacks a sense of participation.
Qingyan asked Chou Chou to change the note back, and then continued to stare at them with her spiritual consciousness. When the medicine boy came back after grabbing the medicine, the old doctor told Aunt Chen what to do for the children to nourish their bodies. There are also foods that are incompatible with the medicine. After saying this, Aunt Chen left with the child.
There were no further problems, so Chou Chou continued to stare at Aunt Chen to see where she would go, while she stared at the old doctor.
The old doctor asked the medicine boy to pack up the pulse pillow and pen and ink, and the two of them went directly back to the front hall and continued to sit there for consultation without even looking at the note. They were really calm.
It wasn't until dark when the medical clinic closed and the old doctor returned to his residence that he lit the oil lamp and started reading.
Just as Qingyan thought, after reading the note, he directly lit it on the oil lamp and burned the note.
Asked Chou Chou, Chou Chou said that Aunt Chen didn't do anything else. She went home directly and didn't come out again, nor did she send any maids out.
During dinner in the evening, Xue Huan'er indeed mentioned the temple fair tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and asked Qingyan if she was interested in going to the temple fair together. He also introduced her to the excitement of the temple fair every year.
When Qingyan said that Wang Qingyue had mentioned it to her when she went to Wang's house today and made an appointment to go together, and also wanted Xue Huan'er to take care of Mrs. Wang, Xue Huan'er readily agreed.
Xue Huan'er was very happy to go with the Wang family, especially when she heard that Mrs. Wang would also go with her.
Although Mrs. Wang has a weak personality and doesn't look like a matron, and she doesn't like to go out and socialize with them, her status as a matron is there, and Xue Huan'er is willing to make friends if she has the opportunity.
Wang Tongpan's official position is not low, at least higher than that of the men in her family. Although they are in the same army and one is a civil servant, it is better to have an additional career path than none.
Although Xue Huan'er's relationship with other officials' wives is okay, it can only be said to be average.
For example, they have a gathering of wives once a month. In fact, the ladies also have circles. The civil servant wives have a circle, headed by the prefect's wife, and the military attache wives have a circle, headed by the guard wife, the old lady of the Li family.
It's just that Mrs. Li is old after all. She usually eats food and prays for Buddha, and doesn't like to organize such gatherings, so the two circles are not so distinct.
Moreover, there are differences in the size of positions. For example, Xue Huan'er's husband is just a pioneer officer, but he is not very high-ranking. If the old man of the Li family was not in the defense, and he was an old general guarding one side before, those ladies might not take her seriously.
That is to say, having such a grandfather around gave her some face, but after all, she would not be looked down upon by others, and the face given by others was not her own, so it would be good if she could have a good relationship with Mrs. Wang.
It was difficult to make friends with Wang Qingyue before, because they were not in the same circle, and there was an age difference. She was a little girl who had just grown hair, and she was already a child, and they had nothing in common.
It's good now. With Qingyan as a bond, it would be good for the two families to move around naturally. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains.
They had decided to go to the temple fair together the day after tomorrow, and Xue Huan'er said that she would send someone to Wang Qingyue's place tomorrow to confirm the meeting time.
In fact, the temple fair starts tomorrow, and there will be three days in total. However, the first day starts in the afternoon and is not as long as the next two days, so everyone will go on the second day after the temple fair starts.
Regardless of whether they are selling things or performing, they all go there to occupy seats and make preparations on the first day. The Dharma ceremony in the temple does not officially start until the second day. On the first day, people from far away places rush there. Come here and live in the temple.
Qingyuan Temple is on a mountain in the southeast outside Qinzhou City. That mountain is called Qingyuan Mountain because there is a very clear spring on the mountain and it is also the source of a small river below the mountain, hence the name.
At that time, not only can you go to the temple fair, but you can also take a walk in the mountains if you go to Qingyuan Temple.
Since she was going there, Qingyan asked Chou Chou to explore the place in advance to see if there were any safety hazards.
Especially the third room of Qingyuan Temple, let him see if there is any secret passage or dark room in it, and if there is anyone hiding in it.
Since they had arranged to meet there, there might be some kind of ambush set up there in advance.
If so, it means there must be accomplices of these people in the temple.
There are so many people at the temple fair. If the other party makes any big moves, it will be troublesome.
Hearing this, Chou Chou withdrew Aunt Chen's consciousness and looked toward the southeast, "There is no dark room or secret passage in that fasting room. It is very clean."
Qingyan couldn't say she was disappointed, but she was relieved. At least they were safe when they went to the temple fair.
It seems that those spies haven't penetrated too thoroughly. If there are people from them in the temple, it means that they have been operating here for many years.
At night, Qingyan couldn't stand it any longer. She stared at the old doctor all afternoon and was already very sleepy.
Knowing that Chou Chou often didn't sleep at night and practiced in the space, he asked Chou Chou to pay attention to that side, she was going to sleep.
Chou Chou nodded. Anyway, it just needs to put a ray of spiritual consciousness over there. It doesn't need to concentrate on it, and it won't affect its practice. If there is any movement from the old doctor, it will know it immediately.
Qingyan said with envy: "It is indeed an ancient beast. Your spiritual sense is so powerful. You can even separate a strand and put it there to keep an eye on. It is really the best weapon to spy on people."
Chou Chou puffed up her chest after being praised and told her to have a good rest. Then she went back to the space to practice while staring.
After staring at her all afternoon, Qingyan was already very tired, so she almost fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
…
The next day she didn't go anywhere, she just stayed in the house. Except for eating, she didn't even leave the house. In fact, she and Chou Chou were staring at Aunt Chen and the old doctor respectively to see if they had any other problems. Actions.
Xue Huan'er thought she was tired from running around and playing around these days, so she planned to recharge her batteries before going to the temple fair so that she wouldn't have enough energy when playing.
Qingyan knew it and didn't say anything, just let her think it was fine.
The old doctor didn't go anywhere else that day. He had been sitting in the medical center and was busy treating patients. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But it was during lunch time that he received another middle-aged man in the backyard. The process was almost the same as receiving Aunt Chen.
When the medicine boy went to get the medicine, he gave the man a note, but it contained a prescription and precautions. At first glance, it seemed like nothing, but upon closer inspection, it was an acrostic letter. The first word read together, it read, Qingyuan Temple Three See you in the dining room.
She was just not sure that this was the other party in the connection. After that, Qingyan stopped staring at the old doctor and fixed her consciousness on that man.
After leaving the hospital, the man first returned to a courtyard in the south of the city. He simply packed up and walked out with his baggage, and then left the city directly through the south gate.
Not far out of the city, in a village not far from the south of the city, we entered a very ordinary farmer's house.
There were actually five or six men in that family, and they looked somewhat similar, like brothers in the same family. Others might think that even though this family was prosperous, they wouldn't be surprised if they gave birth to six sons at once.
They entered the room, and the middle-aged man whispered something to them. Qingyan didn't understand what they were talking about. They must have spoken in dialect.
After saying that, the man left and returned directly to the city.
Qingyan frowned, traveling all the way just to spread such a sentence?
We will definitely talk about important things after meeting at the temple. Now it should be just a matter of sending a message and setting up a time to meet.
She just doesn't know if they will also speak in dialects by then, then she won't be able to understand them at all, and she won't be able to tell what their plans are.
This is also a troublesome thing. I eavesdropped on a loneliness with my spiritual consciousness.
I wonder if anyone in the Li family knows Tubo dialect. If so, she can write down those words and repeat them for them to translate.
It's just that it's hard to ask, and what's more, those people are not talking about emergency implementation, otherwise it will be too late even if she finds a translator.
Now she wanted to see if the other contact was Aunt Chen. She thought it was very possible. After all, if she went to the temple fair, she could go with Wang Qingyue and the others, and she could also use her daughter's body as an excuse to say that she was going to the temple. I prayed that my daughter would be healthy. No one would doubt this excuse.
Now we can only wait until tomorrow to see what happens.
Qingyan didn't sleep well that night. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about what those people were going to do.
After much thought, I didn't fall asleep until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Qingyan got up early the next morning, and she was still full of energy. She couldn't tell that she didn't sleep well yesterday.
She was mainly excited. The thought of revealing the answer to the mystery made her very energetic.
After getting up, I washed up, put on some clothes that were easier to move in, and went out.
She wore two layers of jackets, and she couldn't wear less. The weather is below ten degrees during the day. Even in this city, the wind is not light. If you go to the mountains outside the city, you know that the wind will definitely be stronger and the temperature will be lower. will be lower.
So in addition to the jacket worn underneath, I also wore a quilted cloak outside.
It's a little early to wear that kind of fur cloak, but this kind of cloak is just right. It also has a hood on it. If the wind is too strong, you can cover your head.
After going to the main house and having breakfast with Xue Huan'er and her daughter, they set off.
Because they had made an appointment with Wang Qingyue before, they happened to be heading east. They didn't need to go to any house to find them. They just met at the intersection. If you got there early, you could just wait.
We had made an appointment before, and Chen Shichu met at the crossroads. When Qingyan and the three of them arrived at the crossroads in a carriage, the Wang family's carriage was already there.
Seeing Mrs. Wang on the carriage, Qingyan and Xue Huaner stepped forward to say hello and apologize for keeping them waiting.
Mrs. Wang smiled softly and said, "We have just arrived, so don't be so polite."
Seeing this, Xue Huan'er said: "It's getting late, so let's just hit the road. There's still some distance to Qingyuan Mountain."
None of them had any objections, so they got on the carriage and walked towards the east city gate one after another.
It must be that the lady in the village has to go out for a while, so everyone is willing to go for a walk around the city. There are often pictures of carriages outside the East City Gate. Everyone who goes out at about this time sees what they say. It is true. Everyone also said hello to each other. Fortunately, there is no need for inspections when entering or exiting the city. So even if the queue was poor, we could get out of the city gate very quickly. He is ten years old this year. When I said hello, I smoked and went to the city to see. Wang Jingyue and her family's carriage did not find one. They went to the only one today. There were only Wang Jianyu, his mother, and two maids whom they had agreed to. Then let Xiuxiang stare at the car, and the old doctor cleaned up. There was nothing abnormal, and there was no sign of birth. He was still sitting in the hospital. Chen Yining did not go out for the test. He was at home, and I was in the backyard. Embroidery inside. Dear, I didn’t see them doing it before. I guess it’s not someone like this? After all, if he really wants to go to the temple fair, he definitely can't wait for you to take action. Don't do this. We have to do it together, otherwise it’s easy to say or not, but it’s true that we’re not that free. (End of chapter)
