Chapter 31 Is there a treasure?

"Mom, why did you pull me just now?" Shan Ruoyan was in a very bad mood.

It was all her mother's fault. If she hadn't stopped her, she would have caught up. Now, where could she find Doctor Xiao?

Aunt Ding looked disappointed, "If I didn't hold you, you would have followed. Don't you see where this is? There are so many people here today, what can you do even if you follow?"

"I...I can at least say a few words to Doctor Xiao. He didn't say a word to me just now." Shan Ruoyan said in annoyance.

"Stay away from him!" Aunt Ding warned.

"Why?" Shan Ruoyan couldn't understand. Didn't her mother say that when looking for a man, one should look for someone taller than him? Wasn't Doctor Xiao tall enough?

"Although Xiao Wenye is known as a great doctor, he doesn't even hold an official position. How can he be considered a noble family?" Aunt Ding said disdainfully.

"Although he is the nephew of Queen Zhou, he has been studying medicine with the master of the Divine Doctor Valley since he was a child, far away from the capital, and he is not close to anyone in his family. With his elder brother around, the Xiao Mansion will not be handed over to him in the future. He is just an ordinary person with some reputation."

This means that the Xiao family has a better reputation than ordinary families, and has a queen as a relative. However, even the Zhou family, the queen's family, has few officials in the court, let alone the Xiao family, which is only a relative by marriage.

The current Empress is from the Zhou family of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Grand Tutor Zhou retired ten years ago. Today, only a few young people in the Zhou family are still serving as officials, and none of them are officials in Beijing. All of them are small officials of the sixth or seventh rank in the local area.

The Xiao family was even less respectable than the others. They were just a landlord family with a little money.

No one knew what Old Tutor Zhou was thinking. The eldest daughter entered the palace as queen, but the second daughter was casually betrothed to a poor family like the Xiao family.

He really had a good hand, but played it badly in the end.

"Give up on this idea as soon as possible, do you hear me?" Aunt Ding reminded again. She didn't want her daughter, whom she had carefully nurtured, to end up in the hands of such a family.

Shan Ruoyan didn't say anything. She was still thinking about Xiao Wenye's romantic and dashing appearance. He was the best man she had ever seen.

Song Qingci really didn't mean to eavesdrop. She just didn't want to join the old lady and the others in worshiping Buddha and listening to Zen, so she took the opportunity to slip out. Unexpectedly, she ran into Ding Guifang and Shan Ruoyan, mother and daughter.

It would be a bit awkward to just walk out right now, and it would be too embarrassing. She didn't move for some reason. She didn't expect to hear about Xiao Wenye.

It's quite interesting, he looks like he's only in his early 20s, but he's already known as a miracle doctor. If he's not a fame seeker, then this Miracle Doctor Valley is probably a very capable place, and Xiao Wenye himself is also a very capable person.

There are really too many people in Xiangcheng Temple today, it feels like there are people everywhere.

Shan Li had not appeared since he followed Xiao Wenye. He had been acting mysterious recently and seemed very busy. He would leave early in the morning except when he came back to sleep on the couch at night.

She originally thought that he would not come today. He just said it casually that day.

Because when I woke up in the morning, he was gone.

Who would have thought that when I reached the gate, I found that he was already waiting there, and he glared at Shan Xi and left.

He insisted on following me, but when he came, he couldn't see anyone. Could it be... Song Qingci's mind was spinning rapidly.

"Madam, shall we go over there and take a rest?" Yin Xing said, pointing to a pavilion not far away.

Because it was Guanyin's birthday today, the number of people in Xiangcheng Temple was several times more than usual. However, most of the people were concentrated in the front mountain and the temple.

The Dharma assemblies and sutra chanting are all held in the front mountain.

There were actually not many people in the back mountain. The tourists who usually came to visit were almost nowhere to be seen today.

Song Qingci then realized that he had unknowingly wandered to the back mountain.

"Okay." Song Qingci nodded. This Yinxing doesn't have her own physical fitness. She walked all the way from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and from the front mountain to the back mountain. It was not easy for her to persist without complaining.

This pavilion on the back hill is very exquisite. If you look closely, you can see that the materials used are also quite exquisite. I think it was donated by some noble family.

Xiangcheng Temple has always been very popular, with many people coming to ask for divination and fulfill their wishes. Some people directly donate money for incense, while some richer people donate to build some facilities. For example, the main hall of the temple, the stone steps on the mountain road, the pavilion on the back mountain, etc., anything around Xiangcheng Temple is fine.

The location of this pavilion is very good. Resting inside, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery of the back mountain.

"Madam, is that the young general?" Yin Xing suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted to Song Qingci.

Following the finger, I saw a figure flash by a bush on the opposite hill. He looked like Shan Li in clothes, but I couldn't see his face.

This Red Maple Mountain is not just an isolated mountain, but a group of mountains. This mountain got its name because it is full of red maples. And because of the Xiangcheng Temple halfway up the main peak, everyone tacitly calls this main peak Red Maple Mountain. The other side peaks that intersect with the main peak are actually rarely visited.

"Hey, how come it disappeared in an instant?" Yin Xing said in annoyance, "Madam, should we chase after it and take a look?"

Song Qingci looked at Yin Xing, "Do you know the saying that a horse will die if it is too far ahead?"

Silver Star shook his head.

"It means that the place that looks close is actually very, very far away." Song Qingci pointed to the place where the figure just flashed and continued, "It's that place. If the two of us want to go there by our own two feet, we have to go down the mountain first, then go up the mountain, and then cross the mountain to get there. So don't think about it, ah, I'm doing this for your own good."

Although Yin Xing was a maid, she had basically never done any rough work. She had been with the original owner since she was a child. Although her life was not very good, it was at least better than that of some girls from ordinary families. Forget about her with her small arms and legs.

Climbing the mountain today was enough to make her tired.

However, she was also wondering what Shan Li was doing over there. Although she didn't see his face, based on his figure and his movements, Song Qingci was sure it was him.

A person is wandering in a mountain with few people. Why does this configuration seem like he is going to dig for treasure? Is there a treasure in this mountain?

Because his identity is a bit eye-catching, he took the opportunity of accompanying his family to worship Buddha and went into the mountains alone to dig for treasure?

This is impossible, right? This doesn't seem like something Dan Li would do!

Never mind, I'll just ask him directly when I see him. Guessing is tiring.
