Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 9 The green bamboo forest at the Taoist temple on the mountainside

It was already afternoon when Shen Qinglan woke up, and Mu Xingze beside him was reading a book, looking like a young man and a humble gentleman.

In the memory of the original owner, he was still a little crybaby who followed his mother and was often made to cry by her.

"Little Marquis."

Shen Qinglan sat up, feeling like her body was falling apart, but her spirits were much better.

Mu Xingze put down his book, stood up and said: "There is no fast food here. If you are hungry, you have to go to Deqing Temple next to it. Since you are awake, I will leave first."

"Little Marquis!" Shen Qinglan stopped him, stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Little Marquis, for saving my life."

Mu Xingze glanced at her and quickly looked away. Shen Qinglan glanced at herself and realized that her belt was a little loose.

She arranged her clothes. This ancient costume was indeed troublesome to wear.

"Little Marquis, I don't know where this is, so I'd better trouble you to take me to Deqing Temple. My carriage should be there."

Mu Xingze took Shen Qinglan in the direction of Deqing Temple. To avoid suspicion, he asked the groom to drive the carriage ahead of time.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the moss on the stone slabs was a bit slippery. Shen Qinglan was always afraid of heights, so he walked extra carefully. Mu Xingze was not in a hurry, but kept a certain distance from her.

Although the stairs are not high, they are also remote and difficult to navigate. I don’t know how Mu Xingze got her to this place.

"Little Marquis, the road is so steep, you didn't carry me up here, did you?"

Mu Xingze was startled after hearing this. When he turned his face slightly, Shen Qinglan noticed that his cheeks were a little red.

She did not continue to ask, seeing his reaction confirmed her suspicion.

"This place is remote and difficult to navigate. Why didn't the young marquis take me directly to Deqing Temple?"

"This place originally belonged to the Deqing Temple. A Taoist priest from the temple practiced here. He knew medical skills."

"It must be Taoist Priest Xiuyuan. I have heard someone mention it before. It is said that this Taoist priest has outstanding medical skills and can cure many difficult and complicated diseases, but his temperament is a bit weird."

Shen Qinglan glanced at the road behind her, and when she looked back, she accidentally almost fell down. Fortunately, Mu Xingze stretched out his arm in time to block her.

She grabbed Mu Xingze's arm and broke into a cold sweat. Although it was not that high here, she was still a little scared.

"Thanks."

Mu Xingze continued walking down, this time walking slower.

"Did the Taoist priest tell me what disease I have?" Shen Qinglan asked again. She was worried that her medication had been discovered.

"You know what's going on."

Mu Xingze glanced at her, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Why did you poison yourself?"

Shen Qinglan breathed a long sigh of relief, "It wasn't me who poisoned myself, it was my grandmother. She was afraid of the revenge of the Meng family and was also afraid of people's harsh words."

"Even so, there are robbers on the official road. It seems that revenge is coming."

Shen Qinglan didn't expect that this guy was quite smart, and he immediately saw the problem. However, he must have never imagined that he managed to escape because he told the robber that they were engaged.

After descending the mountain road, you have to pass through a bamboo forest to reach the side gate of Deqing Temple. There are few people coming and going here, and pilgrims usually only go through the main entrance.

When he was approaching the door, Shen Qinglan noticed a figure in the grass of the bamboo forest, and thought that these people were still unwilling to give up! They had all chased them here! If they don't get a little tough on them, they really can't be fooled!

"Brother Xingze! Don't walk so fast, my legs are sore."

Shen Qinglan acted coquettishly and stepped forward to hug Mu Xingze's arm.

The pleasant smell of jasmine came again. Mu Xingze's body stiffened and he was about to shake her away when he heard her whisper: "Little Marquis, please help me, please please..."

Mu Xingze was surprised, and just as he was about to ask why, a man emerged from the grass nearby, a little Taoist priest who was no more than ten years old.

The little Taoist priest was holding a few flower cakes in his hand, and he seemed to be hiding here to eat them secretly.

"What are you doing?"

The little Taoist priest came out and looked at the two people in front of him with his head tilted.

"It is you."

Seeing the appearance of the little Taoist priest, Mu Xingze quickly pulled out his arm.

"Little Marquis, why are you flirting with this beautiful sister?"

Mu Xingze looked at Shen Qinglan, asking you to explain why you are trying to mess with me?

Shen Qinglan smiled awkwardly, quickly changed the subject, and asked, "Do you know this cute little Taoist priest?"

"He is the young disciple of Taoist Priest Xiu Yuan, and his dharma title is Yucheng."

"I see, I have met Taoist Priest Yucheng."

Shen Qinglan bowed briefly to the little Taoist priest, but he just blinked his two round eyes and looked at the two of them, as if waiting for the answer to the question.

Shen Qinglan pointed to the grass next to him and said nonsensically: "There was a snake crawling over just now. I was a little scared, so... so I grabbed the little Marquis."

The little Taoist priest nodded and said: "Snakes often appear in this bamboo forest, sister, please be careful."

"Thank you for reminding."

Shen Qinglan took a deep breath. This little guy was so elusive that she was startled. This scene was really embarrassing.

"Little Marquis, this beautiful sister must be your sweetheart! I saw it. My sister just held your arm and your face turned red to the ears!"

The little Taoist's words were shocking, and Shen Qinglan was even more embarrassed. Please! Stop trying to be clever!

"No, you misunderstood." Mu Xingze explained.

"Ah? But Master said that no matter men or women, everyone will blush when they see the one they love!"

The little Taoist priest scratched his head, looking puzzled. His little face was chubby, but cute and tight.

"Well, let's leave quickly, I'm going to starve to death. Master Yucheng, we are destined to meet again."

Shen Qinglan entered the side gate of Deqing Temple first, and Mu Xingze followed closely and left the bamboo forest.

"Little Marquis, I'm leaving first. Thank you for your help."

Mu Xingze didn't reply, just nodded and left. What the Taoist Priest had just said made the two of them really embarrassed.

-

Shen Qinglan didn't go far, and as soon as she turned into the alley, she met Meng Jingming and his domestic slaves.

Not long after Mu Xingze came out of this door, Shen Qinglan also walked out. It seemed that their relationship was indeed extraordinary.

"Shen Qinglan, long time no see."

Meng Jingming stood in front of Shen Qinglan and saw that she was dressed in plain clothes with no other ornaments except a jade hairpin on her head. She looked like a fairy who had just emerged from the dust. He usually hated Shen Qinglan's head full of pearls and jewels.

It was completely vulgar, like a porcelain doll that came out of a New Year picture. Now it looks much more pleasing to the eye, losing the childishness and adding a bit of femininity.

The moment Shen Qinglan saw him, the disgust in her heart suddenly burst out, and her originally cheerful face suddenly turned cold.

"I've met Mr. Meng."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly and wanted to leave directly, but Meng Jingming refused.

"Shen Qinglan, did you come to Deqing Temple to seek marriage? Then have you come to the wrong place?
