Delicate Flower Chapter 269: Vulnerability
Yu Tang thinks it’s okay.
What she didn't expect was that the two of them had just decided to visit Yongfu Temple and bumped into Pei Yan and Yin Hao.
Yin Hao stayed in the Hanlin Academy for six years before he was sent to Huai'an. Not only did he often visit Yin Mingyuan, but he also often went to Xu Mansion to have dinner. He almost watched Miss Xu grow up, and he liked Miss Xu very much because of her liveliness and cuteness. He treated Miss Xu less like a sister-in-law and more like a sister.
Miss Xu is also very close to Yin Hao.
When she saw Yin Hao, she immediately greeted him happily.
"Second brother!" she said coquettishly, "Where have you gone? Let us wait for a while!"
Yin Hao smiled and nodded at Miss Xu, but his eyes fell on Yu Tang involuntarily.
Yu Tang was wearing an aqua clear-faced jacket, but had rosy lips, black hair, and snow-white skin. She stood there slim and graceful, more beautiful than the flowers in spring.
He couldn't help but ask: "Who is this?"
Miss Xu hurriedly introduced him: "Miss Yu. I made a good friend after going to Lin'an City. This time, as a landlord, she accompanied me to Hangzhou City."
Yin Hao had heard Mrs. Yang San talk about her before, but he didn't expect her to be so beautiful, with clear eyes and a calm look.
It would be great if she could be the daughter-in-law of their Yin family.
While he was greeting Yu Tang, he was thinking about whether the Yin family had any suitable children.
Pei Yan over there was already impatient. He asked Yu Tang: "Where are you going?"
They had already met Tao Qing. After knowing that Wang Qibao would support Tao An in his bid for the position of governor of Jiangxi, Tao Qing had already gone down the mountain to prepare gifts for Wang Qibao.
Seeing that there were outsiders, Yu Tang continued to give Pei Yan face and said, "We are going to visit Yongfu Temple."
Yongfu Temple is smaller and has a completely different style from Lingyin Temple.
Pei Yan asked Yin Hao: "Let's go there and have a look."
Yin Hao opened his eyes wide in surprise.
How could they, two grown men, go to the temple with two little girls?
Pei Yan realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly said: "Let's go over there and talk!"
Yin Hao did not doubt that he was there, and smiled and said to Miss Xu: "Cover us and let us follow you from a distance."
This is OK.
Miss Xu readily agreed
Pei Yan began to rack his brains to think of how to send Yin Hao away.
But when they arrived at the side entrance of Lingyin Temple, they met Gu Chang.
"Miss Yu!" He said with surprise and joy, "We are really destined!"
Yu Tang was very surprised and smiled and nodded to Gu Chang as a greeting. Yin Hao, on the other hand, said: "Chaoyang, why didn't you invite me when you came to Lingyin Temple? I thought you were out on business, so I dragged Xia Guang over. He is the most boring person who always keeps a straight face in everything he does. If I had known you were coming, I wouldn’t have asked him out!"
The tone was full of complaints.
The familiar one knew that he was joking with Pei Yan. Those who didn't know better thought he was dissing Pei Yan.
Of course Gu Chang would not take it seriously.
He chuckled.
Pei Yan, who shouldn't have taken him seriously at first, glanced at Yu Tang and saw that Yu Tang looked calm. Thinking of Tao Qing's words, his heart suddenly felt cold and his face turned dark.
Yin Hao grabbed Gu Chang without thinking and said, "Where are you going? We are going to visit Yongfu Temple. Do you want to come with us?"
Gu Chang glanced at Yu Tang and said with a smile: "Okay! I happen to have nothing to do, and I was still thinking about whether I should go back after using the banquet at Lingyin Temple or go down the mountain now. Since you are going to visit Yongfu Temple, Then why don't we all stay in Lingyin Temple and have dinner before going back? I'll be the host!"
But when he looked at Yu Tang, the corner of his eye glanced at Pei Yan unintentionally.
He found that Pei Yan's face looked ugly.
Gu Chang was slightly stunned, wondering if Pei Yan had taken Yin Hao's joke seriously? If so, then he is very narrow-minded and a person who cannot take a joke. Could it be that Pei Tong offended Pei Yan over some trivial matter without knowing it?
It seems that he should take this matter to heart and ask Pei Tong carefully.
Gu Chang led the way and introduced Yongfu Temple to Yin Hao: "...it was founded by Zen Master Huili. It is the same as Lingyin Temple and Lingyin Temple. It was originally called Ziyan Temple and later renamed Yongfu Temple..."
Yin Hao listened absently, his mind racing, wondering what Pei Yan was going to say to him? He had to think of a way to put Gu Chang aside?
Pei Yan fell behind them and gradually approached Miss Xu and Yu Tang.
He suddenly felt that this was not bad.
Although Gu Chang is annoying, his appearance can be regarded as a good thing since he delayed Yin Hao.
He thought for a moment, then simply slowed down and walked side by side with Miss Xu and Yu Tang.
"When will Miss Xu return to the capital?" Pei Yan said without saying anything, "I heard from Qingyuan that Miss Xu is going to go shopping in two days to buy some earthen rituals to take back. It just so happens that I want to give gifts to Mingyuan and Zhang Mansion I want to bring something with me, and I want to ask Miss Xu for a favor."
Miss Xu was still thinking about the paintings of the master in charge of Lingyin Temple, so she was naturally more enthusiastic about Pei Yan than usual.
She smiled and said: "Thank you, Third Master. When the time comes, you can just leave the management to my accompanying mother-in-law."
Pei Yan thanked him and thought of a way to talk to Yu Tang: "Miss Yu is going back to Lin'an City after seeing Miss Xu off, right? Let's go back together then? The Zhejiang Chief Minister is coming to take office in the next few days. , let’s go back together and we can take care of you.”
Before Yu Tang answered, Miss Xu said in surprise: "Has Zhejiang changed its chief envoy?"
Pei Yan nodded with a smile and said: "The decree issued last month should be arriving in the next few days."
Miss Xu said: "Who has changed? What did Mr. Qin do?"
Pei Yan's eyes stayed on Yu Tang for a moment and said: "Li Guang, the former chief envoy of Yunnan, was transferred to Zhejiang as chief envoy. Mr. Qin was transferred to the capital as minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Miss Xu has an elder brother named Bo, the head of the Rites Department.
She was a little confused.
I don’t know if Mrs. Yang San paid a visit to her old friend this time, or whether she visited Mr. Qin.
If I didn’t go, I don’t know if it would be too late to go again at this time.
She thought about it for a few moments, then asked Pei Yan with a stern look on her face: "Has Master Qin's transfer order arrived in Hangzhou City?"
Pei Yan said: "It should be here. However, given Mr. Qin's temperament, he should not make any announcement before Mr. Li comes."
Miss Xu was a little anxious. She whispered to Yu Tang: "Why don't you go to Yongfu Temple first? I have something urgent and I need to tell Ah Fu."
Although Yu Tang didn't know what the relationship between Mr. Qin's transfer from Zhejiang and Miss Xu was, looking at Miss Xu's appearance, she suspected that Pei Yan had told Miss Xu the news on purpose, and she vaguely felt that Pei Yan was trying to save her money. Like Miss Xu.
Her heart beat like a drum.
Is she taking advantage of the situation to hear what Pei Banquet has to say to her? Or should I continue to ignore him and accompany Miss Xu to do errands?
Yu Tang didn't hesitate for a moment, Pei Yan said: "Then I'll wait for you here with Miss Yu! You go and come back quickly."
Lingyin Temple is only a stone's throw away from Yongfu Temple, and they walked through the side entrance. There were lush trees, quiet stone paths, and few pilgrims. It was really not good to leave Yutang here alone.
Miss Xu said "Okay", said to Yu Tang, "I'll be back soon" and hurriedly took Ah Fu to the big tree next to her to talk.
Pei Yan's eyes fell on Yu Tang as if they were real.
Yu Tang pretended not to know and looked around, as if appraising the surrounding scenery.
Pei Yan coughed lightly.
Yu Tang looked over subconsciously.
Pei Yan put his fisted hand in front of his mouth with a tense expression and coughed again.
Yu Tang said: "Did you catch a cold or have a discomfort in your throat? Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? If I remember correctly, there are medical monks in Lingyin Temple. I just don't know how good the medical skills are? How about I let you go? Qinglian, will you go back with you and take a look?"
Pei Yan's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
After a long while, he said calmly: "Are you still angry that I asked you how you met Gu Chang?"
Gu Chaoyang became Gu Chang.
Yu Tang was very surprised and instinctively denied: "No."
Pei Yan said: "You lied! Otherwise, when I said I promoted Jiang Chao, why were you not happy at all?"
Yu Tang choked when asked.
A trace of pride flashed in Pei Yan's eyes. He felt that Tao Qing was indeed his elder brother and was very reliable. He said, "I don't mean anything else. I just find it very strange. Why did Gu Chang do it so often?" I met you on the ground. It’s not like the Gu family doesn’t have a house in Hangzhou City. He is now the censor. Looking back, he has returned home in fine clothes. Not only did he hide it, but he also came to live with me. I’m afraid he will have any objections to you. Good intentions..."
In her past life and this life, Yu Tang hated others for having "bad thoughts" towards her.
In this life, she has climbed out of the quagmire of her previous life. Why did Pei Yan say this to her.
She was so angry that she said: "The third master's words are wrong. I am just the daughter of a poor scholar's family. I was born in a humble family and grew up in an alley. I have nothing to worry about..."
Before Yu Tang finished speaking, Pei Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and... this time it was even more serious than last time.
He hurriedly made up for it: "You said that you are a good little girl, let alone act arbitrarily. Why are you so hot-tempered? You broke up Gu Xi's engagement, right? The Li Duan family is unlucky because of you Right? What is Gu Chang's background? If he had the intention, would he not be able to find out?"
Yu Tang opened his mouth in shock.
Pei Yan was determined, but he said mercilessly: "Can't you be more cautious? I'm so anxious here, but you are just talking and laughing with Gu Chang! You Tell me, how do you know Gu Chang? I can analyze it for you."
Only then did Yu Tang realize that she really had no chance in this life to get to know Gu Chang before he spoke to her. ~IndoMTL.com~How to round up this lie?
Sweat broke out on Yu Tang’s forehead.
But Pei Yan was still urging: "Think carefully, when did you first meet him? What did he say to you? What was his expression at that time?"
He asked anxiously, and Yu Tang had no choice but to hesitate and said: "I really don't remember! Ever since I had that dream, sometimes I can't tell which ones were dreams and which ones were I have actually experienced it!"
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang in surprise, and a bad thought arose in his heart.
Did Gu Chang really have some purpose in approaching Yu Tang?
Pei Yan wanted to ask Yu Tang more carefully, but Miss Xu had already finished her explanation and was heading this way.
He couldn't say any more, so he could only tell Yu Tang solemnly: "Don't talk to Gu Chang anymore. I will find out about this matter."
