Chapter 301 Several Girls Stroll Through the Peach Blossom Grove
"Okay, okay, let's go together." The old lady of the Luo family readily agreed.
Luo Meijiao and Luo Yingpei, who were walking behind her, looked like they had swallowed flies. They had agreed to listen to the lecture in the No. 2 meditation room, so why were they changed rooms at the last minute? Grandmother was deliberately preventing them from seeing the sons of powerful and wealthy people in the capital.
It turns out that the Zen master and the abbot of the temple are giving a lecture on Zen in room number two today, which is why many sons of powerful families and outstanding students have come here.
Seeing that they had already left the backyard, Luo Meijiao and her sister were unwilling to give up, and an idea suddenly came to mind.
Luo Yingpei pleaded, "Grandmother, you and Madam Ren can go to Room 3 to listen to the Zen, and we can go to Room 2 with the Ren sisters, is that alright?"
Luo Meijiao said confidently, "Grandmother, room number three is too small. There won't be enough room for so many of us."
Indeed, room number three was a small room, with only one master facing two or three people. Everyone knew this, so when they arrived, they just waited outside the door.
Madam Ren glanced at Wenwen, who nodded.
Madam Ren said, "Dan-jie, take your younger brother and sister to room number two. Yuexin can stay here. Go ahead."
"Yes, Grandmother. Come on, stay close to me."
Renran Dan had no objection. Before coming, her grandmother had instructed her not to let her younger siblings out of her sight, especially her younger cousin from the Hao family. Therefore, the second half of the sentence was addressed to her younger siblings.
Wenwen couldn't contain her excitement. She didn't know if the two sisters were part of Luo Da's plan. She was just worried about not having a chance to get to know the Luo sisters. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came to her. The Luo sisters walked right into her life. Great. She shouldn't let this opportunity that was delivered to her doorstep pass her by.
The group did not wait for the Luo sisters behind them, and parted ways with Madam Ren at the crossroads of the covered bridge.
Unexpectedly, they hadn't gone far when Luo Meijiao ran over, tugged at Ren Randan's sleeve, and said, "Sister Randan, we were ignorant before and angered you and your brother. We were also deceived by those two. Please forgive us this time, considering we grew up together. We can still be good sisters like before, okay?"
She has a pitiful, ingratiating look, and when she's arrogant, she's incredibly arrogant; when she's humble, she's utterly pathetic. She's the most pitiful person in the world, truly a model of flexibility and resilience. I admire her!
Ren Randan pulled out her sleeve, coldly observing without saying a word.
Ren Ranman retorted sharply, "Pah! Who said we're sisters? We're not worthy of your respect. We're just ordinary people, and we have nothing to do with the Luo family. Don't flatter us, or we might just retaliate! Humph! Let's go."
Ren Ranman held Wenwen's hand with her left hand and Jin Ning's hand with her right hand, and tried to walk forward.
Before leaving, Xiao Jinning turned back and made a face, "I'll live to be a hundred! Humph! I'll make you all furious."
Wenwen was secretly laughing hysterically...
Could she say that the siblings' counterattack was quite unexpected?
It was all worth it. The fighting spirit she instilled in her siblings these past few days seems to have improved Ren Ranman's fiery temper a lot. That's how it should be—losing the game doesn't mean losing the battle.
After venting their anger, they felt much better and strode forward, leaving the Luo sisters far behind.
Although she was far away from the Luo sisters, Wenwen's spiritual sense remained constantly on her side.
Sure enough, the Luo sisters looked up and stared intently at their backs until they turned the corner of the room.
The Luo sisters started whispering among themselves.
Luo Yingpei's eyes were gloomy as she gritted her teeth and said, "Second sister, that little firecracker from the Ren family, I want her dead, I want eldest brother to kill her."
Luo Meijiao spoke calmly and slowly, without much anger, but her words were chilling.
"What's the rush? They're refusing to listen to reason and are asking for trouble. The big show that Big Brother has arranged is waiting for these sisters! I'm going to make sure they die without a burial place. Hmph, not a single member of the Ren family will escape. They still want to live to be a hundred? Just wait, no one will offer incense to them next year on Qingming Festival."
Not only Wenwen heard these words, but Wen Chengjian and the other two who were guarding nearby also heard every single one of them.
Unexpectedly, the Luo sisters were also part of Luo Da's play. That makes things easier. Let them all fall into hell. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Wenwen's anger was burning higher than ever before.
Room number two was indeed very large and spacious. Wenwen and the others found a corner to sit down quietly.
When the appointed time arrived, the grandmaster and the abbot sat down at the front seats and began to talk eloquently.
Zen is something that depends on one's inner awakening and experience.
Those who can listen and understand will feel greatly encouraged, while those who can't will find it very boring and tedious.
Time seemed to pass both quickly and slowly; the morning's Zen lectures continued into the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the temple's master will give a lecture. Those who are interested can continue listening, while those who are not can stay in the side rooms or go to the peach grove behind the temple to enjoy the flowers.
After resting for a while, a knock came at the door. It was the voice of a maid from the Luo family: "Madam Ren, my mistress invites you to enjoy the peach blossoms in the back mountain."
Madam Ren's expression was subtle, but she responded warmly, "Alright, please ask Madam Luo to wait a moment, we'll be out as soon as we're done packing."
Before leaving, Madam Ren instructed, "Dan-jie, stay close to Grandmother, don't wander off, and absolutely do not get separated. Remember that."
Renran Dan hesitated for a moment, "Grandmother, why don't we stay inside?"
Madam Ren laughed and said, "Nonsense! How can we not look around when we're out? Grandmother brought you out here to relax. Why are you talking nonsense? Let's go!"
Before leaving, Madam Ren glanced at Wenwen subtly. Wenwen returned a big smile and mouthed, "Grandmother, don't worry, my eldest and second eldest brothers are nearby."
The peach grove is located on the mountain behind the temple. From their residence, turn a small path, go out the back gate, and you will find the southeast corner of the peach grove not far ahead.
A large number of people had already gathered at the back gate. Some lived in the same courtyard, while others had just arrived that day. Many families had brought their elders, female relatives, and daughters to enjoy the flowers.
The group exited through the back door and were greeted by a vast expanse of flowers.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and the peach petals danced lightly in the wind, as if they were pink raindrops falling from the sky.
This scene caused the young women and wives in the crowd to gasp in surprise.
Wow, what beautiful peach blossoms!
"Ah, sister, look, over there, let's go over there."
"Sister-in-law, let's go pick some peach blossoms to take home and put in a vase."
"Mom, I want to eat peach blossom pastries. Go pick some peach blossoms and bring them home."
"..."
Many people rushed towards the peach grove in the distance.
The peach orchard is quite large and belongs to the temple's private property. Every year during the flowering season, many people come to admire the flowers and enjoy the scenery, which is also an activity of the temple.
Seeing the girls beside her looking so excited, Madam Luo smiled and said, "Jiao-jie, Pei-jie, didn't you two want to go flower viewing and play with Dan-jie and the others? Go ahead, go play. Grandma's legs aren't as nimble as yours, so I'll just stroll around with you, right, my dear old sister?"
Madam Ren wanted to tear her mouth apart. Who is your elder sister? What nonsense are you spouting? You old hag, what are you playing at? You're just crocodile tears, you're up to no good.
Although she was very reluctant, Madam Ren knew the saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." If she didn't keep Dan away from her sight for a while, the Luo family wouldn't make a move. If they didn't make a move, they wouldn't be able to catch them in the act. There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days but not being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
So, she went all out. Her gaze swept past Wenwen, and Old Madam Ren said casually, "Sister Dan, go have fun. Take good care of your younger siblings and don't stay out too late."
