When Chen thinks about it carefully, it really is what Yu Tang said. When she saw Mrs. Yang San the next day, she was a little more enthusiastic than usual, and asked Mrs. Yang with a smile: "Did you sleep well yesterday? I heard from my daughter that Ms. Xu is a little sleepy, is she better?"
From the face of Mrs. Yang San, there is no difference from usual. Her smile is still gentle and polite, and her voice is still soft and sweet: "Fortunately, your daughter gave us half a bottle of fragrance, otherwise it would be a bit uncomfortable."
Two people talked about Xianglu.
It was fun for a while.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt that her mother finally made a friend, and hoped that her mother would be happy during her stay at Zhaoming Temple.
Miss Xu smiled straight at her from behind, and whispered to her on the way to greet Pei Lao'an: "Now is not the time to talk, we will talk later."
It seems that something happened after they left yesterday!
Yu Tang was eager to move, and he kept thinking about this when he followed Pei Lao'an and others to the main hall. It wasn't until he stood still in the main hall that the monk Zhike brought the tray to collect the box with the birth date written on it, that Yu Tang concentrated his energy and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He knelt down on the west side of the main hall with Ms. Xu and listened to the monk's deeds. .
One morning passed like this.
After the ceremony, even Yu Tang was helped up by the maids, not to mention Pei Lao'an and others.
Wu Neng personally accompanied Pei Lao'an to the meditation 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 ones who participated in today's ceremony were the Pei family members who were sitting in the flower hall yesterday, Chen's mother and daughter, Miss Xu, and Mrs. Yang San.
Yu Tang nodded, inexplicably feeling that he suddenly became 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 to play in the afternoon, just to pick some bottles of fragrance."
Reciprocity.
Yu Tang smiled at her.
The two stopped talking, had lunch in the meditation room, sat with the elders and the incompetent master for a while, and then everyone went back to their rooms to rest for a while.
It was hard for Yu Tang to say anything in the main hall just now, so when she returned to the wing room, she knelt down to help her mother look at her knees.
Fortunately, I had tied cotton pads on my knees before, so my legs were a little stiff, nothing else happened.
Chen said with a smile: "I thought I could do it! I didn't expect that I have old arms and legs, and I can't do it if I don't admit defeat. I don't know how Pei Lao'an survived? If I reach her age And this body is fine."
Mrs. Chen took the clothes for Mrs. Chen to change in the cage, and said with a smile: "Perhaps the old man will be the same as you when he goes back, and he is in a hurry to massage his legs!"
Both Yu Tang and Chen Shi laughed.
Chen asked Yu Tang to roll up his trousers to show her.
Because of what happened to him, Yu Tang was extremely devout, kneeling until his knees turned red.
Mrs. Chen's heart ached so much that she hurriedly asked Mrs. Chen to take her to Xijian's residence to apply medicine, and said: "I will have dinner at your side in the evening. You should 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 and sit there and I'll be back."
Mrs. 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 to change and freshen up, asked Shuangtao to bring some snacks, and went to Miss Xu's place.
Who knew that just as she stepped into the courtyard where Miss Xu lived, she saw Miss Xu hurried out with Ah Fu.
Yu Tang thought Miss Xu had heard the noise and came to welcome her.
Miss Xu was taken aback when she saw her. Yu Tang knew that he had come at an unfortunate time, and that Miss Xu might have something to go out, so she saw Miss Xu giggled a few times in embarrassment, then rolled her eyes, and dragged her to the door Under the straight ginkgo tree outside, he whispered to her: "Do you know Zhou Zijin? It was Zhou Zijin who won the first prize and was good at drawing pictures of beauties! "
Of course Yu Tang remembered him.
He lived in Lin'an City for a while, and he was inseparable from Pei Yan all day long. When she had diarrhea in Hangzhou City, Zhou Zijin even sent someone to visit her.
She was puzzled and said, "What did you ask him for?"
Miss Xu beamed and said authentically: "He also came to Zhaoming Temple. I have to go see what he looks like? "
"That's not good!" Yu Tang hesitated.
Miss Xu didn't take it seriously, and said: "I heard people say that he is more romantic than Pei Xiaguang! You can go and see it with me!"
Yu Tang frowned.
In her heart, although Pei Yan treats people coldly, he acts in a very orderly manner, unlike Zhou Zijin, who always has a bit of frivolity in his words and deeds. She doesn't like it very much.
"How can Zhou Zijin compare to the third master of the Pei family!" Yu Tang blurted out without thinking.
"You actually met Zhou Zijin!" Miss Xu said in surprise, looking her up and down, "I said why aren't you curious? So you not only met Pei Xiaguang, but also Zhou Zijin!"
Yu Tang panicked, and said, "I'm from Jiangnan, so I have more opportunities to meet them than you. What's more, Zhou Zijin has been to Lin'an before, and I'm not the only one in Lin'an who has seen them both. There is nothing to say."
Miss Xu jumped up: "The only famous scholars in the court, I have never met Pei Yaguang and Zhou Zijin. Pei Yaguang has already retired. If I don't see him this time, I'm afraid I won't see him again in the future. Zhou Zijin is even more so." Good to see him, he is not only retired, but also his whereabouts are uncertain, I am also lucky this time, so I have to meet him!"
Yu Tang didn't understand such persistence.
Ms. Xu said aggrievedly: "Yin Mingyuan and I are compiling a record of Jinshi. We want to collect all the top ten papers of these years, write a score of Jinshi, and draw a picture of Jinshi. Now we are missing Zhou Zijin."
Yu Tang was stunned, and then blushed.
She thought Miss Xu was just playing around out of boredom.
"Then I'll go with you!" Because the lecture at Zhaoming Temple was approaching, the Pei family was afraid of accidents, so they sent guards to surround Zhaoming Temple. In Yu Tang's heart, Zhaoming Temple was as safe as Pei's backyard. She immediately agreed.
Miss Xu was very happy, and while pulling her to run outside, she 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 keep up with her pace.
"Where is Zhou Zijin?" She gasped and asked Miss Xu, "How do we go to meet him? Is he here to attend the lecture at Zhaoming Temple?"
After several consecutive questions, Miss Xu didn't know what to answer, so she just said, "Just follow me."
The two trotted all the way and stood still in a small forest.
Miss Xu said: "We'll just wait here. This is the only way to get out from Pei Xiaguang. Zhou Zijin will definitely visit Pei Xiaguang when he comes to Zhaoming Temple..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Yu Tang saw Gu Chang, who was wearing a sapphire blue clean-faced hang silk straight gown, with fair skin and elegant demeanor, coming from the corridor surrounded by four or five entourages.
"Why is Gu Chaoyang here?" Yu Tang was stunned, "Shouldn't he be in the capital?"
Miss Xu also looked startled, but she calmed down quickly, meditated for a moment, and murmured: "Could it be that the new censor sent to Jiangnan Road is Gu Chaoyang?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Tang asked.
Ms. Xu took a deep breath and said, "Before I left Beijing, everyone was saying that there was a problem with the river in Gaoyou. Your Majesty asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to send a censor to Gaoyou to inspect it. It seems that this censor is Gu Chaoyang. Already!"
Yu Tang said: "Then he should be in Gaoyou too? Why is he here at this time?"
"He has gone a little far." Miss Xu said, her expression was a little dignified.
Yu Tang said: "Can the censor of Jiangnan Road move around at will?"
"They want to investigate the case, so of course they can move around at will." Miss Xu stared at the corridor, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "I just don't know if this matter has anything to do with the two princes?"
How come it has something to do with the royal family
Yu Tang gasped.
Miss Xu hurriedly laughed, and said awkwardly: "I'm just making a random guess - everyone said that the money allocated by the Ministry of Industry to Gaoyou to build the river channel was corrupted by others, so I just said that. Is it true? You'll have to check to find out!"
The more she explained, the more uneasy Yu Tang felt.
"What does this have to do with the Pei family?" she asked uneasily.
Ms. Xu pondered for a long time before she said in a low voice: "Your aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River don't care about their internal strife, but they are also very united at critical moments. No one can tell when they will turn against each other, or when they will be happy again. Zhou Zijin's appearance here may be related to this incident!"
Yu Tang didn't want to think of things as bad, and murmured, "Maybe he came here for the marriage between Miss Gu and the young master of the Pei family!"
"I hope so!" Miss Xu touched her chin, acting like a boy, "The marriage between Gu and Pei was originally very sudden, and there must be some conditions that have not been agreed upon. It is also possible for him to come here in person. Once It is to confirm the marriage of the two families, and secondly, it can also support his sister. The second wife of the Gu family is not enough." After finishing speaking, she asked Yu Tang: "Why haven't I seen Mrs. Pei these days? You should 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. Seeing Gu Chaoyang getting closer to them, Yu Tang hurriedly said, "Should we hide behind a big tree? Standing here like this, it's easy for Gu Chaoyang to Chaoyang discovered it."
Ms. Xu thought for a while, then took Yu Tang's hand and was about to go out: "We should take the initiative to attack, instead of standing here and being suspected. Let's go forward. If he stops us from asking, we will say It’s to see Pei Xiaguang. If he makes way for us, we’ll pretend we didn’t see him, what do you think?”
Yu Tang has always been timid and cautious. Normally, she might feel that this is not good, but now, turning a blind eye to Gu Chang, facing Gu Chang's gaze, and confronting Gu Chang head-on, made her feel excited just thinking about it.
She decided to listen to Miss Xu.
