Yizhou City in April, it is the season of flowers and birds, not colder than Yunfu City, Yizhou City even in the winter is not cold, after the spring, the branches of the willow tree are even early to hold out the new shoots, everywhere is the scenery of peach and plum Jingfangfei, compared with Yunfu City, the climate in the city warmed up early is more mild than Yunfu.

Since the Zhou family got the tea from the Xu family tea garden, the business of the tea shop is getting worse, although it is only a newly opened shop, because of the power of the Zhou family in it, no one dares to provoke, just more than a month later, there is a faint momentum to catch up with other merchants, so that Mrs. Zhou is really happy in her heart.

Mrs. Zhou took care of the tea shop's business, while trying her best to repair the relationship with Prince An, although she was driven back that day, but she was always unwilling to accept that Princess An had completely annoyed her with this matter, but every time she handed over the flower post, she was always politely rejected by the steward of the palace, which made her feel at ease, and she was a little absent-minded in the management of the tea shop.

After being rejected many times, she became anxious and went to find Mrs. Wu, hoping that Mrs. Wu, as the prefect's wife, could do peacemaking in the middle.

And although Mrs. Wu was also kind on her face, she was not as enthusiastic as she was on weekdays, and Mrs. Zhou's heart sank.

"Mrs. Zhou is still busy with the business of the tea shop, so you don't have to worry about the rest of the things, and as for the princess, I don't have so many opportunities to meet. ”

Mrs. Zhou knew that she was shirking what she said, Princess An's temperament was very kind, if she hadn't really annoyed her, she wouldn't have thrown her face, and there were a few times in the past, but they all met and lost money, but this time, no matter how low and small she was, Prince An ignored it, and she panicked all of a sudden.

Mrs. Wu did not agree, so she had to turn to the other ladies present that day, but what she did not expect was that these people had exactly the same tone.

Only Mrs. Wu's attitude, she didn't feel anything, and when she found someone else, she only felt that it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and unconsciously, she was excluded by the goddaughter of Yizhou City, such a situation has never been before, she immediately felt the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly went home to discuss with her husband.

Although Zhou Du has a lot of contact with Prince An on weekdays, he never asks about the back house, and he is really startled by his wife's frightened face.

After careful questioning, Zhou Du's face sank like a piece of black charcoal, and he ignored his wife for several days.

But Chanyi doesn't know these trivial things, if she knows, I'm afraid she will only sigh, as long as it is powerful, she will show a little displeasure, and someone will rule out what she doesn't like.

At this time, she was preparing to go out, Chu Shaoyuan finally got free, took her and Yan Dai to climb the mountain, and went to Hongfu Temple to pray for blessings and incense. After all, it is a female dependent, and the places that can go are limited, so it is quite relaxing to go to Shangxiang to eat fasting and eat vegetarian food, and take a look at the scenery along the way.

Although it is not the first time to go out, they have been staying at home for the past few months, and Yan Dai and Chanyi are full of expectations for this trip.

Sitting in the carriage, just out of the city, Yan Dai couldn't wait to lift the curtains and look out through the glass window, the sun is just right, in Yizhou City still seems to be lively, after leaving the city, there is only the dull sound of the car rolling over the ground, because it is not the first and fifteenth day of the new year, so there are not many vehicles on the outskirts of the city, occasionally you can see ox carts or donkey carts, as they ride in such a standard carriage and do not see one.

"The suburbs of Yizhou City do not look as prosperous as Wanzhou, and there are few vehicles coming and going. Yan Dai sighed and drank tea.

Chanyi was reading an idle book, listening to her words, and couldn't help but smile: "Wanzhou City is a rich place, the climate is pleasant, and it is the land of fish and rice, with beautiful natural scenery, I remember that many officials in the court are from Wanzhou, compared to Yizhou City, I really don't have much impression, it seems that only one of the proud protégés of the predecessor Liang Shoufu is from Yizhou City, but I can't remember who it is for a while." ”

She smiled apologetically, and also brought tea to drink, the journey to Hongfu Temple is not far, it takes about two hours, so they don't bring much things, in addition to miscellaneous books for recreation, there are also a few boxes of snacks, but the two of them also just finished breakfast before coming out, not hungry, and the snacks were put aside.

"Sister-in-law knows so much!" Yan Dai's eyes were sparkling and full of reverence.

Chanyi couldn't help laughing, if she had lived like herself for two lifetimes, I was afraid that she would subconsciously remember these court officials, after all, many times the every move of these people would affect the court.

The two of them were talking, but the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, and Chan Yi and Yan Dai were caught off guard and almost fell out.

Just as he was about to get angry, he heard the coachman's respectful voice coming in, and there was still a little panic in the business: "Princess, the road ahead is blocked, and the prince sent someone to inspect it, let the little one stop here and wait for the prince's orders." ”

Chanyi was a little surprised, and said in a deep voice: "I know, you just listen to the prince's orders." ”

Although the decision to go out was only decided in the past few days, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation on the road, and I don't know who blocked the road, Chan Yi flashed several thoughts in her heart, and when she saw Yan Dai's panicked face, she quickly stopped, since Chu Shaoyuan had already gone to see it, it should be solved soon.

She stretched out her hand to hug Yan Dai, who was a little pale with fright, and while helping her tidy up her clothes, she comforted her gently: "Don't be afraid, it shouldn't be a big deal, the husband is reliable, you should relax your heart and wait for him to come back." ”

The carriage is not big, only Chanyi and Yan Dai are seated, and the maid is in the car behind, so Chanyi and Yan Dai have to take care of each other's clothes and decorations.

After tidying up her own clothes, Yan Dai loosened her hanging heart slightly, and she couldn't complain that she would be afraid, it didn't take long to experience what she had experienced in Yizhou City before, if it wasn't for her cousin proposing to go out for a walk this time, and her cousin was also accompanying her, she might not come out.

After drinking a cup of warm hot tea, the two of them returned to their previous expressions.

After a while, Chu Shaoyuan rode over and said through the window: "There is a group of caravans in front, and the truck escorting the goods is broken in the middle of the road, so the road will be blocked, and now it has been done, Wanwan, Adei, you two are scared, right?"

Chanyi glanced at Yan Dai, and found that the little lady's face had faded from panic, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I stopped suddenly, and I will inevitably have some doubts." ”

Chu Shaoyuan nodded: "Then let's continue our journey." ”

"Hmm. ”

Hearing Chanyi's low response, Chu Shaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Wei Qing a look, Wei Qing nodded, turned around and went to the front.

The carriage continued to run, the journey was long, Yan Dai was startled again, with the bumps in the car, she gradually became sleepy, and then fell asleep in a daze by Chanyi in her arms.

……

"Those nobles are human beings, are we bitter haha beasts? Where is there such a reason for not giving people life? Even if you sue the prefect, it is not such a reason!"

The middle-aged man was pressed by the arms of the two guards, and his mouth was unrelenting.

"Okay, second brother, you won't die if you don't say a word!"

The middle-aged man on the side was dressed as a scribe, and his face was not very good, but he was also held hostage from behind, and he couldn't move at all.

"Big brother, who did our family provoke? When we were a horse merchant, we have been pressed by the Xu family, and now we have changed to sell tea, but we still can't rob the Xu family, and now we finally have a chance, but that Mrs. Zhou swallowed eight points of profit from it, and left two points for us, and we can't even afford to eat!

The strong man was very dissatisfied, ignoring his brother's warning, turned his face and spit bitterness on the young man behind him.

Wei Qing was a little impatient, and when the carriage was getting farther and farther, he glanced at the few people who were suppressed.

"If you have a grievance, you should appeal to the prefect, what is the difference between blocking the road and cutting off the road like this, and bandits and robbers? What's more, the prince has not settled accounts with you about your incident at the beginning, but now he is not afraid of death and bumps into it, do you really think that the prince is soft-hearted and will not do anything to you?"

In terms of eloquence, he is not as good as a few of Chu Shaoyuan's staff, but these threatening words can still be blurted out, he raised his eyebrows, and the guards under his hands used their strength, unloaded the arms of several people, and threw them to the ground.

The wails were endless, but it didn't make Wei Qing frown.

He waited until someone came to ransom and sold a few people for a high price, and then took the silver ticket to chase Chu Shaoyuan.

……

Because of the delay on the road for a while, when I arrived at Hongfu Temple, it was already noon, but fortunately, I called people to clear the scene in advance, and there was no great inconvenience for a few people to enter the temple.

When I arrived at the guest room, the host had already ordered someone to set up a table of fast food, and after using the fast food, Chan Yi and Yan Dai took a short rest, then took care of the clothes and planned to pray for blessings on incense in the temple, and walked around the century-old temple by the way.

Chu Shaoyuan has been accompanying them, and everywhere they go, there are monks in charge of the courtyard to explain, and they are also happy. I added a lot of sesame oil money, and after a short rest, it was not early.

The presiding officer of the academy personally sent them out of the mountain gate, and then handed over a few talismans to Chanyi, and then he read: "Amitabha, the poor monk is not far away, and the donor walks slowly." ”

Chan Yi knows that there are not many amulets written by the host of Hongfu Temple, and occasionally a few of them have been taken away by the dignitaries and dignitaries of Yizhou City, and now they have been given seven or eight, which is really in the name of Chu Shaoyuan, Prince An.

She said goodbye with a smile, and was just about to get into the carriage when she was startled by a little girl rushing out of the side.
