The monk is over 70 years old, which is considered a long life in Dayong.

She did not learn to live in a hermitage with a reclusive literati in the mountains, picking flowers and reciting poems to make a living, but followed her children to live in Suzhou, where the yamen of Jiangnan Mansion is located.

According to the information provided by Xia Guang, Yucao Jushi has a son and a daughter, both of whom were adopted by her later, and this person has a strange personality, and the adopted son and daughter do not change their surnames, but call them their previous names.

It took about an hour to ride a horse before I found the 'Wangbei Residence' in a very remote part of the southern city.

Zhao Shu's line of sight passed, stopping at the three words of 'Wangbeiju', the words are extremely beautiful, like Yun Shu on the horizon, not arrogant, but the outline is powerful, not majestic but magnificent, and there is a proud style in the show.

There is also a couplet on the door, which seems to mean something, but it is not clear, but it can be seen that the owner of this dwelling is a man of heart.

Shanglian: The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance.

Downlink: The wall stands thousands of people, and there is no desire to be rigid.

Since he was the teacher of Jiang Ying and Empress Yide, Zhao Shu naturally went to knock on the door in person, without a fake hand, knocking lightly, and after a while, a child 'Ga' opened the door and poked his head out, seeing Zhao Shuwen quietly, he immediately felt good, but when he saw Wei Tingsi with a cold face and domineering eyes, he retracted his head again, leaving only a crack in the door.

"Little brother, may I ask if the grass is here?" Zhao Shu was extremely polite, raising her hand to learn to salute like a scholar.

When the little boy heard this, he knew that he was looking for the Jiecao Monk, and he was about to close the door, but Zhao Shu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Little brother, little brother, we are from the Yongwang Mansion in the capital, my mother is a student of the Jiecao Monk, and I am here to see the ancestor." ”

The little brother was stunned for a moment, looked Zhao Shu up and down, and said not very convinced: "You are from Yongwang Mansion?" What are the certificates? ”

Obviously, he knew about the Yongwang Mansion, but he strangely needed a certificate, instead of reporting it, Zhao Shu's heart suddenly struck, and a bad premonition hit his heart.

"I am the best certificate, if you don't believe it, let me in, the layman will know when he sees me, I look very much like my father and mother." She does look a little like Jiang Ying and a little like King Yong.

Naturally, this can't actually be used as a certificate, but she can't think of anything to prove her identity, and the Yongwang Mansion has the Yongwang Order, but she doesn't really want to take it out at this time.

The little boy grinned very cooperatively as if he was listening to a joke, and after laughing, he smiled and closed the door again, Zhao Shu hurriedly stopped again, squeezed in with one hand, tore off the Yongwang Decree hanging on his body, and lit up in front of his eyes, "I am the monarch of Yongwang's Mansion, and I won't open the door yet!" ”

Xiao Tong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he glanced at it contemptuously, "Girl, the layman is not a guest, please go back, don't say that it is the county lord, even if the prince comes, he will not see it." ”

"My mother is a student of the layman, and I have come to visit my ancestor." From the moment she asked for the certificate, Zhao Shu knew that the Yucao monk would not want to see her, or not want to see anyone in the royal family.

This is also the reason why she doesn't post and comes directly to the door.

"I'm sorry, the layman doesn't see a guest, and the layman doesn't have any disciples." Xiao Tong just said so many words, entangled with Zhao Shu, just curious about the three words 'Yongwangfu', he really knew that the layman had a student who became the princess of Yong before, but the layman didn't let him say it, and said to the people around them that there were no students.

Curiosity led him to let Zhao Shu say so many words.

Zhao Shu still wanted to say, but her hand was pushed out by Xiao Tong, and with a "bang", the door was closed.

"Little brother, little brother, hey......" Zhao Shu knocked on the door a few more times, but unfortunately no one came out to open the door, and there was no sound.

"Shushu, stop screaming, I won't open the door for you." Weithing.

Zhao Shu let out a turbid breath and glanced at the vines climbing on the high wall, the more she looked at it, the more she wanted to see it.

Xiao Guozi next to him also followed, it was an ordinary creeper horn flower, it was not too special, why did the county lord keep watching?

Wei Tingsi had already gained insight into Zhao Shu's thoughts at a glance, pursed his lips and smiled, did not speak, and waited for Zhao Shu's next move.

After all, it is the residence of the ancestor, Zhao Shu was embarrassed to go over the wall immediately, and knocked on the door for a while, but no one paid attention to it, but there were few people in this place, and I didn't see a single person for a long time.

"Xiao Guozi, you are guarding here." Zhao Shu was worried about King Yong, where did she have time to play a game of patience to influence her, she rolled up her sleeves, inserted the folding fan into the jade belt, and prepared to climb the wall.

Of course, she was just gesturing to climb the wall, embarrassed to ask Wei Tingsi to help, after all, let him take her in, there would be physical contact, she was a reserved person now......

Wei Tingsi was helpless, this woman didn't even want to open her mouth to beg herself, shook her head and grabbed Zhao Shu's waist and crossed the high wall.

After entering the door, it happened to fall behind an osmanthus tree, the osmanthus tree was not high, only about two meters, and the dense leaves just blocked the figures of the two.

In front of the osmanthus tree, there is a path, the path is planted with green bamboos on both sides, the summer wind hits, the bamboo leaves are rattling in the wind, and the boy and a man are talking.

"Childe, here is a handsome girl dressed as a man, a cold man, and a pale eunuch." Xiao Tong is afraid that it is a chatter, and the words he finds are very appropriate to describe it.

It's just that Xiao Guozi is not so white, he is just whiter than ordinary men, Zhao Shu doesn't pay attention to these, she is surprised that Xiao Tong can see that she is a woman and Xiao Guozi is a eunuch!

"What about Mother?" The man didn't say much, but turned to another question.

Zhao Shu was stunned, but he didn't expect that the man was actually the adopted son of the knotted grass monk, looking through the thin cracks of the green leaves, he could only see the side face, the man was vaguely a weak scholar, weak and couldn't help the wind, as if the wind would blow down, and he was twenty-five or sixteen years old.

"Madame is in the Snow House, do you want to go over, Childe?" The little boy cleverly supported the son, cautiously, for fear that the weak boy would be blown by the wind.

The boy covered his lips with his wide sleeves and coughed lightly, and he could hear that he was trying his best to endure the pain, but the more he endured, the more he coughed, and the last series of coughs, he coughed until he arched himself.

The child skillfully smoothed his breath, and his movements were skillful and gentle, and it was obvious that he often sits.

"You're out again." At this moment, a woman came from behind the man, holding a porcelain bottle in her hand, and poured out a pill and fed it into the man's mouth as she spoke.

When Zhao Shu saw the woman, she vaguely felt familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

The man took the medicine, but he didn't know if he had coughed enough, or somehow, he didn't cough anymore, he stood up straight and said softly: "I heard that someone from Yongwang's Mansion came, and you also know that my mother didn't want to see anyone from the capital." ”

"Who's coming?" The woman asked, surprised.

"Miss Hui, she is the county lord of Yongwang's Mansion." The child's stirring reply.

The woman's facial features immediately jumped into a smile when she heard this, "Really? She looked pleasantly surprised.

Xiao Tong was startled, "Yes, he is very handsome in men's clothes." He wanted to say that he was more handsome than his son, but he didn't say it.

The woman was too lazy to listen to him, went straight to the door, and opened the door quickly, "Xiao Guozi? ”

From Zhao Shu's point of view, she couldn't see the door, she could only hear the woman's voice, this 'Xiao Guozi' she was surprised in her heart, the woman actually knew Xiao Guozi, it was really weird, and it was unpredictable.

Xiao Guozi was holding his hands outside at this time, and when he heard someone calling him, that person was not Zhao Shu, he was still a little uncomfortable, he looked at it and was stunned, "Su Qiu?" He rubbed his eyes and said incredulously.

Su Qiu? Zhao Shu thought about it for a long time, but she didn't remember that there was such a person.

"Where's the county lord?" Su Qiu walked out of the door, looked left and right and didn't see Zhao Shu, and asked.

Xiao Guozi was a little embarrassed at this time, and met an old acquaintance, but the county lord climbed the wall......

He's stumbling, "County Lord......"

"I'm here." Zhao Shu, who was taken out by Wei Tingsi again, interrupted Xiao Guozi's words in time, "Are you?" ”

She walked up to the woman, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes scrutinized, she didn't remember knowing this woman.

When Su Qiu saw Zhao Shu, he only paused for a moment, and then he recognized her, and he knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Slave Su Qiu see the county lord." ”

Zhao Shu: ......

From the conversation, it could be heard that this woman was the adopted daughter of the Yucao monk, but at this time, she kowtowed to herself and called herself a slave, Zhao Shu instinctively took a step back and avoided her big gift.

"Get up, it doesn't have to be like this."

Su Qiu thanked him again before standing up, his face was full of surprise, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

"The county lord may not remember the slave and maid, but the county lord's kindness to the slave and maid, the slave and the maid will always remember, do you remember that five years ago, you let go of a maid code?" She said excitedly.

Xiao Guozi still remembered her, and was busy explaining at this time, "County Lord, Su Qiu went to the palace from the palace with the minions, and later you gave her silver and let her return to her roots." ”

With such an explanation, Zhao Shu remembered, but what she didn't expect was that she would meet her again in Jiangnan, and because of fate, she became the adopted daughter of the Yucao monk.

"Over the years, you've changed so much that I don't even recognize you." Zhao Shu thought for a moment, and could only pick up the usual opening sentence.

Su Qiu was very excited and choked up a little, "The county lord is very gracious, Su Qiu always remembers it, the slave and maid have been by the county lord's side for a short time, and the county lord doesn't remember the slave and maid, which is reasonable." ”

"Now that you are out of the palace of the King of Yong, you are no longer my maidservant, and you do not need to call yourself a slave."

"No, you are as kind to the slave and maid as a mountain, and in the heart of the slave and maid, you will always be the master." She insisted on her insistence, but obviously didn't want to dwell on the issue, so she changed the topic and said, "The county lord is here to see Madame?" ”

"Ma'am?" Zhao Shu is confused again, isn't she an adopted daughter?

Su Qiu smiled lightly and explained: "The slave maid's house is not far away, and the lady pities the slave and maid alone, so the slave and maid are allowed to come to serve her old man from time to time." ”

"I see, I came this time to ask for a layman, I wonder if I can help pass it on?"

Su Qiu looked a little embarrassed, but he still nodded, "The slave maid will talk to the sevenfold first." ”

The seven layers in her mouth were already standing at the door, looking at Zhao Shu with a smile, just looking at him from the side, she felt that he was just delicate, but now when she looked at the front, she found that he was an extremely handsome man, but he was too weak, as if he would fall down at any time.

His smile was very gentle, like the gentle breeze of spring, although weak, but it gave people a taste of humility, and there was no trace of his dissatisfaction and indignation with the status quo.

"How did you get out? It's windy outside, so you get in quickly. Su Qiu instinctively persuaded him, but when he said it, he regretted it a little, and hurriedly introduced: "County Lord, this is the Sevenfold, this is the County Lord." ”

Qizhong was different from Su Qiu, he nodded to Zhao Shu with a smile, and then looked at Wei Tingsi, who was air-conditioned, this man's aura was too much.

"Uncle Shi." Zhao Shu thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and confessed.

Qizhong chuckled lightly and withdrew his gaze, "Uncle Shi didn't give you a meeting gift." His obviously teasing words alleviated the strangeness and embarrassment of several people outside the door.

"I don't need a greeting gift, my uncle just asked me to go to see my ancestor." Zhao Shu said respectfully, not jokingly.

Qizhong glanced at Wei Tingsi again, and Wei Tingsi arched his hand and said, "Wei Chang'an." He was very cautious in reporting his own words to show that he attached great importance to the sevenfold, and he did not say much after just four words.

"Sevenfold." He also introduced himself, and his words were corresponding to being concise and to the point, and he exchanged names with Wei Tingsi before replying to Zhao Shu's words, "Your ancestor is afraid that he will not see you." ”

"Why?" Zhao Shu asked.

Qizhong didn't hide it, and said directly: "The two senior sisters asked their mother to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and she was an old man in her heart, so she was probably resentful." ”

"The murderer who killed my mother has not yet been punished, so is my uncle unwilling to help me find the murderer?" She deliberately provoked the sevenfold.

Zhen Qizhong smiled when she heard this, "There is no murderer, don't waste your energy, go back, go back and live a good life, I will show my mother that you have been here." ”

"I was intercepted and killed when I came, the killer was wearing a hydrangea mask, since my uncle recognized me as a nephew, why don't you inform me one or two, maybe my ancestor and her old man are willing to see me?"

Zhen Qizhong still smiled lightly, "If I don't let you in, you'll break in, won't you?" These words seemed to be said to Wei Tingsi, and his eyes fell on Wei Tingsi, "Just now you entered the mansion, it was because of your mother's affection that I didn't pursue it, be obedient, go back." ”

Wei Tingsi's eyes instantly became sharp, just now he saw that there were Qimen Dunjia and mechanisms in the courtyard, but he had the confidence to take Zhao Shu to break the mechanism inside intact, but he didn't expect Zhen Qizhong's breath to be so big, and he also found them.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back." Wei Tingsi said, he took a deep look at Zhen Qizhong.

Zhen Qizhong's eyes narrowed, his gaze crossed Zhao Shu and the others, and looked at the black-clothed people who were speeding in the distance, these black-clothed people were extremely rampant, and they wanted to kill people and set fires in broad daylight.

"Come on in." Zhen Qizhong can't take care of too much, the people in black are menacing, there are at least hundreds of people, and I don't know who has such a big force, and hundreds of people in black can be transferred in broad daylight.

Unfortunately, it is sparsely populated, and no one comes back on weekdays.

Zhao Shu and the three of them followed Zhen Qizhong into Wangbeiju, the door was closed, and Zhen Qizhong hurriedly said: "Hurry up." ”

As soon as his words fell, a dense number of sharp arrows shot in, and the little boy had some kung fu to protect Zhen Qizhong and run inside.

Zhao Shu had the protection of Wei Tingsi, and Xiao Guozi couldn't intervene, so he blocked a few arrows for Su Qiu.

Since you come to the inner courtyard along the path, the scenery along the way, there is no time to see more, stop in the inner courtyard at this time, the furnishings that enter the eye are extremely simple, except for a few clusters of hydrangeas, there are no other plants, under the hydrangeas, a small pool, the pool raises a few koi.

There are also stone tables and benches on the edge of the small pool.

Zhao Shu's eyes fell on the hydrangea, she reached out and touched it, "I didn't expect there to be hydrangeas here, I heard that Empress Yide also loves hydrangeas." ”

Zhen Qizhong's smile remained unchanged, as if nothing could make him lose his smile, "Senior sister didn't like this flower very much, but if my mother liked it, she liked it too." ”

"Empress Yide is really filial, compared to this, my mother is not as good as Queen Yide."

Looking past the Moon Gate on the opposite side, outside the Moon Gate, there were all hydrangeas. (To be continued.) )
