Chapter 56: No news of Chen Juren

"Secret Chen?" Hua Jingyao's eyes lit up, and the mother and son who mistakenly recognized their husband outside Zhelu Lane.

"Master, how long has that Mrs. Chen lived here? Have she ever said what they do when they come to Beijing?" Hua Jingyao asked.

Without thinking, the little nun said, "Mrs. Chen came on the first day of the New Year. It has been more than twenty days. The nun remembers it very clearly that there was a temple fair that day. When the two little donors came, they held a windmill in their hands. The windmill was only sold at the temple fair."

"Have she ever said what they do when they come to Beijing? Also, does she often go out alone like this time? Has anyone come to find them?" Hua Jingyao asked again.

"Yes, she said it, and asked the Master Zhike in the temple to help inquire," said the little nun, "This female donor came to find her husband. Her husband is a scholar, and his name is...Ni Ni doesn't remember it. The female donor told Master Zhike to the Master Zhike. Master Zhike receives a lot of pilgrims every day. Well... the female donor will go out occasionally, but she didn't go out for two or three days like this time. She loved the two little donors very much. When eating vegetarian dishes, she transferred all the vegetarian ducks and chickens to the bowls of the two little donors. Well, Ponti couldn't remember if anyone had come to them."

Hua Jingyao regretted that she should have brought a few more people together. Eunuch Wang and Madam Ding were both Princess Zhaoyang's eldest son. Even if she could do so, she could not let them go to the temple to inquire about this matter.

As for Xiaoli, Hua Jingyao was worried that he would be abducted by some fragrant young lady.

She walked around three times in the same place. The day before yesterday, she met Mrs. Chen outside Zhelu Lane. Seeing the scene at that time, Mrs. Chen seemed to be quietly monitoring Chen Juren.

The day before yesterday...

From the morning before yesterday to now, it's been just two days.

In other words, Mrs. Chen left Guangji Temple the day before yesterday and went to Zheluxiang, and she has never come back since then.

Hua Jingyao was surprised. This was a coincidence. She actually met Mrs. Chen the day before yesterday. It was really a coincidence.

At this moment, the door of the house opened from the inside, and Master Miaohui walked out with two disciples. She called the little nun and said, "You take care of the two little donors first. I will prescribe the prescription and let Jingxin come over later."

Hearing that Master Miaohui was going to prescribe the prescription first, Hua Jingyao hurriedly said, "Master, you are busy first. The little girl will first sing incense for the Bodhisattva, and come to pick you up later."

"Okay, okay, the girl is intent." Master Miaohui nodded with a smile.

Hua Jingyao waved to Xiaoli: "Go."

The person who received the female relatives in Guangji Temple was an old priest in his sixties, named Zhiliao.

Because of this special name, when Hua Jingyao lived in the temple a while ago, she deliberately found the old cicada monk and said nothing.

"Master Zhiliao, do you still remember me?" Hua Jingyao said with a smile.

"It's Miss Hua, of course I remember it." Zhiliao smiled.

"Master Zhiliao, I want to ask you, Mrs. Chen, who lives in the temple, came to look for relatives. Did she ask you to find someone? She has never found her husband. She has not come back for two days and the two children are sick. Now she has to find her quickly or find the child's father. If you still remember her husband's name, please tell me." Hua Jingyao said.

The cicada was surprised and said, "Didn't the female donor find her husband? I thought she had found it."

Hua Jingyao asked in detail, and the cicada said, "The female donor's husband is Chen Wenzhao. He is from Mengjin, Henan. He is a scholar. After getting married, Mr. Chen came to the capital to study. Soon, the female donor gave birth to a twin child and took his son to spend the holiday. Four years ago, Mr. Chen asked a merchant to bring a letter back, saying that he would go to Kaifeng Prefecture to participate in the provincial examination next year, and after the provincial examination, he would return to his hometown to visit his family. The female donor waited but did not wait for Mr. Chen to go home.

After four years, I finally saved up enough money. First, I went to Kaifeng Prefecture. When she was looking for her husband in Kaifeng Prefecture, she went to a bookstore that scholars often went to. She wanted to find out about those scholars. A scholar had heard of her husband's name and said that her husband was a juren and was now in the capital. The scholar had met her husband in the capital and said that her husband had written good words. Mrs. Chen brought her children to the capital again. In order to save money, she lived in the temple. Alas, it was pitiful."

"Did you ask her for help? "Hua Jingyao asked.

"That day, a juren came with his family. I mentioned Mr. Chen's name. The juren immediately said that he knew this person. He wrote a good handwriting and lived in the one behind Xibi Lane... The one called... I can't remember it anymore, it's an alley behind Xibi Lane." Cicada said.

"Zhelu Lane, is Zhelu Lane?" Hua Jingyao's eyes shone.

"Yes, that's the name, Zheluxiang." Zhilia hurriedly said.

"When did you tell Mrs. Chen about this? Do you still remember?" Hua Jingyao asked again.

The cicada thought for a while and said, "It's been four or five days. I can't remember the exact day."

Hua Jingyao thanked the cicadas and took Xiao Li Chong back to the place where he picked up Master Miaohui.

The cicada told Mrs. Chen four or five days ago that the first time she met Mrs. Chen in Zheluxiang was three days ago, and the second time was two days ago. In this way, time met.

After Mrs. Chen learned that Chen Juren lived in Zhelu Lane, she took her two sons the next day. She might have asked someone to ask for information or knocked directly on the door. In short, there was another wife in Chen Juren's home. She couldn't enter the Chen family, so she cried in the alley. Mrs. Chen, Liu, brought her two sons out and showed her the wedding letter.

Mrs. Chen must have been back that day and settled her two sons in the temple. The next morning, she went to Zhelu Lane again. She stared at Chen Juren quietly, but was seen by Hua Jingyao.

Hua Jingyao was thinking that Master Miaohui had already prescribed the prescription and left the disciple named Jingxin to prepare medicine for the two children. He got into the sedan chair and went to the Princess's Mansion with Hua Jingyao.

When she returned to the mansion, Hua Jingyao immediately called Shi Bing: "Mrs. Chen, who was looking for a husband, I met in Zhelu Lane that day, go and inquire. In the past two days, no, from the afternoon of the previous day to now, have you ever been to Zhelu Lane again? Ask more, for example, those who set up stalls and run shops nearby, ask them all. Now her two children live in Guangji Temple, and they are all sick. It's very pitiful. If she has a few or two shorts and those two children become orphans, she may have to be a little monk in Guangji Temple."
