Delicate Flower Chapter 215: Sudden arrival

When Chen thought about it carefully, she realized that what Yu Tang said was true. When she saw Mrs. Yang San the next day, she was even more enthusiastic than usual. She asked Mrs. Yang San with a smile: "Did you sleep well yesterday? I heard from my daughter that Miss Xu was a bit sleepy. Is she feeling better?"

There was nothing different from usual on Mrs. Yang San's face. Her smile was still gentle and polite, and her voice was still soft and sweet: "Fortunately, your daughter gave us half a bottle of perfume, otherwise it would be a bit uncomfortable. ”

The two of them started talking about fragrant dew.

It was quite enjoyable for a while.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt that her mother had finally made a friend and hoped that her mother would be happy during her stay in Zhaoming Temple.

Miss Xu smiled at her from behind, and on her way to greet Mr. Pei Laoan, she whispered to her: "Now is not the time to talk, we will talk later."

It seems like something happened after they left yesterday!

Yu Tang’s heart was ready to move, and he kept thinking about this matter when he followed Pei Laoan and others to the main hall. It was not until he stood still in the main hall that the monk Zhike brought a tray to collect the box with the birth date written on it. Only then did Yu Tang concentrate and did not dare to think about it anymore. She knelt down in the west of the main hall with Miss Xu and others and listened to the monk's rituals. .

The whole morning passed like this.

After the ritual, people like Yu Tang were helped up by the maids, not to mention Pei Lao'an and others.

Wuneng personally accompanied Pei Laoan to the Zen room at the back.

Miss Xu took the opportunity to come together with Yu Tang and whispered: "Why didn't you see anyone else?"

The only people attending today's ceremony were the Pei family members who were sitting in the flower hall yesterday, mother and daughter Chen, Miss Xu, and Mrs. Yang San.

Yu Tang nodded, inexplicably feeling that he suddenly felt closer to the Pei family, as if he had become a relative and friend of the Pei family.

Miss Xu said to her: "You come to my place in the afternoon and pick out some bottles of fragrance."

Reciprocate courtesy.

Yu Tang smiled at her.

The two stopped talking and had lunch in the Zen room. After sitting with the elders and the incompetent master for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

It was hard for Yu Tang to say anything in the main hall just now. When she returned to the wing, she knelt down and helped her mother look at her knees.

Fortunately, I had tied cotton pads on my knees before, so my legs were just a little stiff and nothing else happened.

Ms. Chen smiled and said: "I thought I could do it! I didn't expect that my arms and legs are already old, and I can't do it unless I give up. I don't know how Pei Lao'an survived? If I get to her It would be great if the old man still has this body at his age."

Mrs. Chen brought Mrs. Chen a change of clothes in the cage. She smiled and said, "Maybe Lao An will be like you when he goes back and is anxious to massage his legs!"

Both Yu Tang and Chen laughed.

Ms. Chen asked Yu Tang to roll up his pants to show her.

Because of his own experience, Yu Tang was particularly pious, and his knees turned red.

Ms. Chen was so heartbroken that she hurriedly asked Mrs. Chen to take her to her residence in the west room to apply medicine. She also said: "I will have dinner at your place tonight. You can rest in bed and don't go anywhere in the afternoon." ."

Yu Tang wanted to go to Miss Xu's appointment. She shook her mother's arm: "I'll go there and sit down and come back."

Ms. Chen thought for a while and asked Mrs. Chen to prepare a snack for her as a guest, and told her: "Don't run around, take a nap before going, there will be a lecture tomorrow!"

Yu Tang agreed with a smile, went back to take a nap, got up, changed clothes and freshened up, asked Shuangtao to get snacks, and went to Miss Xu's place.

Who knew that as soon as she stepped into the yard where Miss Xu lived, she saw Miss Xu walking out in a hurry with Ah Fu.

Yu Tang thought Miss Xu heard the noise and came to greet her.

Miss Xu was stunned when she saw her. Yu Tang knew that she had come at an unlucky time. Miss Xu might have to go out for something, so she saw Miss Xu laughing sheepishly, then rolled her eyes and pulled her away. He dragged her to the straight ginkgo tree outside the door and whispered to her, "Do you know Zhou Zijin?" It was Zhou Zijin who won the top prize and was good at painting pictures of beauties! ”

Of course Yu Tang remembers him.

He lived in Lin'an City for a period of time before, and was inseparable from Pei Yan all day long. When she had diarrhea in Hangzhou City, Zhou Zijin sent someone to visit her.

She asked in confusion: "What did you ask him for?"

Miss Xu said with joy: ""He also came to Zhaoming Temple. I have to go see what he looks like? ”

"Isn't this bad?" Yu Tang said hesitantly.

Miss Xu didn't take it seriously and said: "I heard people say that he is more elegant and suave than Pei Xiaguang! Come and see with me!"

Yu Tang frowned.

In her mind, although Pei Yan was cold to others, he acted in a very orderly manner, unlike Zhou Zijin, who always had a bit of frivolity in his words and deeds, which she didn't like very much.

"How can Zhou Zijin compare to the third master of the Pei family!" Yu Tang blurted out without thinking.

"You have actually seen Zhou Zijin!" Miss Xu said in surprise, looking her up and down, "I asked you, why aren't you curious? It turns out that you have not only met Pei Xiaguang, but also Zhou Zijin!"

Yu Tang panicked and said: "I am from Jiangnan, so I have more opportunities to see them than you. Besides, Zhou Zijin has been to Lin'an before, and I am not the only one in Lin'an who has seen them. Man, what’s there to say?”

Miss Xu jumped to her feet: "Among the famous scholars of that time, I have only seen Pei Xiaguang and Zhou Zijin. Pei Xiaguang has already retired from office. If I can't see him this time, I'm afraid I won't see him again in the future. Zhou Zijin It’s even harder to see him. Not only has he become an official, but his whereabouts are also elusive. I’m lucky enough to meet him this time, so I have to go see him no matter what!”

Yu Tang doesn’t understand such persistence.

Miss Xu said aggrievedly: "Yin Mingyuan and I are compiling a Jinshi record. We want to collect the papers of the top ten in these years, write a Jinshi genealogy, and draw a Jinshi portrait. Now there is a shortage of Zhou Zijin ”

Yu Tang was stunned, then ashamed.

She thought Miss Xu was joking out of boredom.

"Then I'll go with you!" Because the lecture meeting at Zhaoming Temple was approaching, the Pei family was afraid of something happening, so they sent guards to surround Zhaoming Temple. In Yu Tang's heart, Zhaoming Temple was just like the Pei family's backyard. The ground was safe, she immediately agreed.

Miss Xu was so happy that she pulled her out and said, "You have to show me when the time comes."

Yu Tang stumbled and was dragged by her, and it took him a long time to catch up with her pace.

"Where is Zhou Zijin?" she gasped and asked Miss Xu, "How do we go to see him? Is he here to attend the lecture meeting in Zhaoming Temple?"

After several questions, Ms. Xu didn’t know what to answer. She just said, “Just follow me.”

The two trotted along and stopped in a small forest.

Miss Xu said: "We can just wait here. This is the only way out from Pei Xiaguang. When Zhou Zijin comes to Zhaoming Temple, he will definitely come to visit Pei Xiaguang..."

Before she finished speaking, Yu Tang saw Gu Chang, who was wearing a pure sapphire blue silk trousers, fair skin, and elegant temperament, walking from the corridor surrounded by four or five followers.

"Why is Gu Chaoyang here?" Yu Tang was stunned, "Shouldn't he be in the capital?"

Miss Xu also looked startled, but she quickly calmed down, pondered for a moment, and murmured: "Is the new censor sent to Jiangnan Road Gu Chaoyang?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Tang asked.

Miss Xu took a deep breath and said: "Before I left the capital, everyone was saying that there was a problem with the river in Gaoyou. The Holy Emperor asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to send a censor to Gaoyou to inspect it. It seems that this censor It’s Gu Chaoyang!”

Yu Tang said: "Then he should be in Gaoyou too? How could he be here at this time?"

"He has gone a little far." Miss Xu said, her expression a little solemn.

Yu Tang said: "Can the censor of Jiangnan Dao move around as he pleases?"

"If they want to investigate a case, of course they can move around at will." Miss Xu stared at the corridor, was silent for a while, and whispered, "I just don't know if this matter has anything to do with the two princes?"

Why is it still related to the royal family?

Yu Tang took a breath of cold air.

Miss Xu was busy typing and said awkwardly: "I'm just making a random guess - everyone said that the money allocated by the Ministry of Industry to build the river in Gaoyou was used by others, so that's what I said. You have to check to find out whether it is true or not!"

The more she explained, the more uneasy Yu Tang became.

"What does this have to do with the Pei family?" she asked uneasily.

Miss Xu pondered for a long time before whispering: "Though you Jiangnan aristocratic families have severe internal strife, they are very united at critical times. No one can tell when they will turn against each other~IndoMTL.com~ When did we start talking happily again? Zhou Zijin’s appearance here might be related to this matter!"

Yu Tang didn't want to think about the worst, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe I'm here for the marriage between Miss Gu and the eldest young master of the Pei family!"

"I hope so!" Miss Xu touched her chin like a boy and said, "The marriage between the Gu and Pei families was very sudden. There must be some conditions that have not been agreed upon. It is possible that he could come over in person. . Firstly, it is to confirm the marriage between the two families, and secondly, it can also support his sister. The second bedroom of the Gu family is too unsatisfactory." After saying that, she asked Yu Tang: "Why haven't you seen Pei Da in the past few days? Madam, she should have come to the temple with everyone, right?"

"I don't know." Yu Tang said, "I didn't pay attention."

She really didn't pay attention.

Miss Xu said "Oh" and wanted to say something else. Yu Tang saw Gu Chaoyang getting closer and closer to them and said hurriedly: "Should we hide behind the big tree? It's very difficult for us to stand here like this. It is easy to be discovered by Gu Chaoyang."

After listening to this, Miss Xu pondered for a moment, then took Yu Tang's hand and was about to walk out: "We should take the initiative, instead of standing here and being suspected. We go forward. If he stops us and asks, We just said we were going to see Pei Xiaguang. If he gives way to us, we will pretend we didn't see him. What do you think?"

Yu Tang has always been timid and cautious. Normally, she might feel that this was not good, but now, turning a blind eye to Gu Chang, facing Gu Chang's eyes, and confronting Gu Chang head-on, she felt excited just thinking about it.

She decided to listen to Miss Xu.
