Although she is reluctant in every way, but Miss has a life, how dare Taochun disobey?

However, Huguang Guild Hall is not an ordinary restaurant and teahouse after all, and her daughter has many unchanged. Tao Chun simply took a set of small clothes, and dressed as a man.

This is not difficult for Tao Chun, since she followed the young lady to Gangneung in men's clothes, she has been familiar with men's clothes.

After changing his clothes, Taochun looked at the bronze mirror again, and hooked the corners of his mouth very proudly.

Taochun has been in Beijing for many years, but he is not familiar with the location of various guild halls.

It took a lot of effort for her to find the Huguang Guild Hall.

At this time, it was already noon, and many scholars walked out of the guild hall and went to the nearby restaurant to eat. Probably because he thought the food in the cafeteria was too unpalatable, and wanted to go down to the restaurant to fight for the tooth sacrifice.

Momoharu hesitated for a moment, but still paced towards the gate.

But as soon as she reached the gate, a doorman stopped her.

"Wait, this is the Huguang Guild Hall, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that Taochun was dressed as a small house, he definitely didn't come to check in, so he raised his eyebrows, and his words were full of disdain.

"I..." Tao Chun choked for a moment, hesitated for a moment before saying, "My name is Tao Chun, and I am the family member of Tao Mansion." My son-in-law and Mr. Ning are good friends. I heard that Ning Gongzi came to Beijing to prepare for the examination and stayed in the Huguang Hall, so he asked me to invite Ning Gongzi to come over the house. ”

She said this half-truth, and the man believed it.

"What you said about Ning Gongzi is Xie Yuanlang Ning Xiu?"

Menzi's attitude is a little better.

"Exactly!"

Momoharu said excitedly.

"Ning Jieyuan does live here, you can go in."

Menzi waved his hand and motioned for Momoharu to go in.

Tao Chun was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked inside.

The Huguang Guild Hall is very large, and it is divided into many small courtyards. As soon as Tao Chun entered, he felt that the world was spinning, and he had not found Ning Xiu's yard for a long time.

In the end, he was cheeky enough to block a hall servant and rewarded him with some broken silver, and then he was led to Ning Xiu's courtyard.

The courtyard door was ajar, and Tao Chun simply pushed the door in.

In late autumn and early winter, the grass and trees wither, and the yard is also bare and bleak.

Tao Chun looked east and west, obviously not knowing which room Ning Xiu lived in.

"Is this friend looking for someone?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded behind her, and she was startled.

When he turned around, he saw a handsome man.

This man was obviously slightly older than Ning Xiu, and his face was angular.

"I'm looking for Ning Xiu Ning Gongzi."

Momoharu plucked up his courage and said.

Liu Weining said lightly: "It's really unfortunate, Ning Gongzi went out." ”

"Ah, when will he be back?"

"It's dusk at the earliest."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow!"

Momoharu pursed his lips and said.

"He has been coming out of the day and returning at night for a while, and if you want to see him, I'm afraid you'll have to come at night."

Liu Weining kindly reminded.

"What, he goes out every day? Doesn't he need Wen Shu? ”

Liu Weining originally wanted to explain, but when he thought that there was no need to say so much with a little girl, he swallowed the words that came to his lips again.

"Okay, I'm going back to tell my young master. Thank you for telling me. ”

Tao Chun arched his hand at Liu Weining as a salute, and then turned around and left in a hurry.

She ran all the way, and returned to Qifu in less than half an hour.

Qi Ling'er saw that Taochun was back, and leaned over with an expectant face.

"How's it going, can he read the book with his heart?"

"Miss, uncle, uncle, he ......"

Momoharu cried as she spoke.

This scared Qi Ling'er a lot. She hurriedly asked, "What, what happened to my uncle?" ”

The little maid wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "Uncle is afraid that he has lost Miss." ”

Qi Ling'er's face turned pale.

"Why?"

"Miss, you don't know. The slave maid went to the Huguang Guild Hall and inquired several times, and finally found the courtyard where her uncle lived. ”

"And then?"

"Uncle is not in the yard!"

"So what?"

Qi Ling'er faintly felt that something was wrong and frowned.

"A son who lives with his uncle said to the slave maid that his uncle has been going out early and returning late these days, and if he wants to see him, he has to come back after dark!"

Taochun sighed and said, "Miss, look at my uncle's uncle, this is not a change of heart." Why else would he never come to Miss again? Otherwise, why did he lie to Miss that he had to study with his heart? ”

Qi Ling'er only felt upset for a while when she heard this, shook her hand and said, "Don't say it again." ”

Tao Chun made a loyal and straightforward posture and persuaded him: "If Miss doesn't give up, you might as well send some generals to follow your uncle to see which fox spirit your uncle is fooling around, so that you can catch the traitor!" ”

Syllable!

Angry, Qi Ling'er casually threw away a purple sand teapot.

The teapot smashed in an instant, and Tao Chun was so frightened that she didn't dare to take a breath, but Qi Ling'er covered her face with her hands and whimpered.

"Impossible, impossible. How could that nerd fail me. ”

Momoharu bit her lip tightly and didn't know what to say.

She didn't want it to be true, but it turned out that her uncle was really wrong.

After Qi Ling'er dried her tears, Tao Chun stepped forward and said, "Does Miss want a slave to follow?" In this way, even if the uncle really loses the miss, it will not be passed on. ”

After all, the general is a man, and seeing these very indecent things will damage Qi Linger's reputation.

But Taochun is different, she is Qi Linger's personal maidservant, even if she sees it, she won't be anything. What's more, she will rot everything she sees in her stomach and take it into the coffin.

Qi Ling'er pursed her lips tightly, her expression extremely painful and hesitant.

After a long time, she sighed and said, "Just do as you say, and don't let people see it." ”

Tao Chun was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Miss, you can rest assured, when did the slave and maid worry about you?" ”

"Alright, there you go. If you need any amount of silver, go directly to me and get it. ”

Qi Ling'er only felt exhausted, and waved her hand helplessly.

Tao Chun sighed, and retreated respectfully.

She secretly swore in her heart that she must find evidence of her uncle's fight with the fox spirit for the sake of Miss!

......

......

Early the next morning, Tao Chun, who had changed into a small dress, was outside the Huguang Hall early.

She had to wait for Ning Xiu to come out, and then quietly followed, to see which Qinglou Chu Pavilion he was going to fool around, so that he and the fox spirit could be caught and they would have nothing to say!

She had even rehearsed her rhetoric countless times in her heart, trying to make Ning Xiu hang her head in shame.

Just as she was silently reciting the words in her heart, Ning Xiu walked out and got into a sedan chair carried by four people.

Momoharu almost shouted. Look at this sedan chair is not ordinary, could it be that Ning Xiu went to the Qinglou of the general red of Jingshi?

She didn't dare to miss it, and hurriedly followed.

......

......

Fortunately, the speed at which the sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair was not too fast, and Taochun would not lose it.

She followed the sedan chair around and around, and finally came to a luxurious house.

She looked up and was dumbfounded.

Zhang Shoufu's mansion?

How could this uncle come to Zhang Shoufu's mansion?

Momoharu looked confused.

When she saw Ning Xiu stepping off the sedan chair and striding towards the door, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Oops, could it be that my uncle went to Zhang's house to meet Miss Zhang's family privately, right?

The more Momoharu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Shoufu Zhang Juzheng has several sons, but only one daughter.

This daughter's name is Zhang Zhiwen, and she is Zhang Juzheng's pearl.

On weekdays, this Miss Zhang family does not go out of the door, and she only met when she accompanied the young lady to Zhang's Mansion as a guest.

Could it be that my uncle has changed his mind and wants to hook up with that Miss Zhang, right?

The more Tao Chun thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, if this was the case, it would be worse than going to the Qinglou to prostitute himself!

Tao Chun didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly turned around and went back to the house.

When she returned to the mansion, she immediately told Qi Ling'er what she had seen and heard.

After hearing this, Qi Ling'er's originally tightly knit brows finally relaxed, and she laughed out loud.

"That nerd really went to Zhang's Mansion?"

"It's true, that's what the slave saw with her own eyes!"

Taochun thought that her young lady didn't believe it, and subconsciously straightened her chest.

"Then what are you guessing about? He hadn't seen the Zhang family's sister, so how could he make a special trip to see her. ”

Qi Ling'er said calmly: "Have you forgotten that the sister of the Zhang family is not even willing to take a step at the door of the mansion?" ”

Hearing this, Tao Chun scratched his head and said, "Although I said that, I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." My uncle always runs to Zhang's house with a good look, what else can it be? ”

"The nerds have a good relationship with Zhang Jiazaburo, or are they going to learn poetry?"

At this time, Qi Ling'er had completely put her mind at ease, and said with a faint smile: "I don't worry about this, if you are worried, just keep an eye on it." ”

"But Miss..."

Tao Chun bit her lip tightly and held it for a while before muttering, "If the slave is recognized, will my uncle think about it?" ”

After Qi Ling'er's analysis, Tao Chun was afraid that she was thinking too much.

If the uncle really just went to learn poetry with the third son of the Zhang family, but found that Tao Chun had been secretly observing him, it was inevitable that he would think about Qi Ling'er.

In this case, nothing would have happened.

"So, don't make a mess."

Qi Ling'er spread her hands and said, "I still have confidence in that nerd." Besides, I'm no worse than Sister Zhang, why did that nerd abandon me for Sister Zhang? ”

"I can't say for sure, men like the new and hate the old."

Momokuru continued to mumble quietly.

"You damn girl!"

Qi Ling'er scolded with a smile: "Others can like the new and hate the old, but he won't." If he dares to abandon me, I will break his legs and castrate him again!" ”

"Miss is mighty!"

Momoharu finally laughed.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

said that Ning Xiu and Zhang Maoxiu read in the study for a day, and occasionally made two articles to evaluate each other.

Zhang Maoxiu intended to keep Ning Xiu for dinner in the mansion, but Ning Xiu politely refused.

It's nothing to have a light meal on Zhang Taiyue's mansion occasionally, what do you think about rubbing rice all the time?

Besides, he has promised Liu Weining that it will be difficult to miss the appointment if he has a banquet with a few Huguang scholars tonight.

Zhang Maoxiu sent a sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair to the front of the Huguang Hall.

As soon as he got off the sedan chair, Ning Xiu stepped into the hall and walked towards his own courtyard.

At this time, Liu Weining was practicing swords in the courtyard, and Ning Xiu stopped to watch. Literati and writers always used to wear a sword around their waists, most of which were decorative, and the probability of actual use was very low.

But Liu Weining is different.

Although he came from a scholarly family, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has good swordsmanship in dancing.

Ning Xiu also knew this.

By the time Liu Weining finished dancing a set of swordsmanship, he was already sweating profusely. Ning Xiu stroked his palm and praised: "Brother Liu is really a sword saint of this dynasty, and people who watch this sword technique are fascinated. ”

Liu Weining saw that Ning Xiu was coming, so he also put his sword into the sheath and walked over.

"Brother Ning Xian praised it falsely, Brother Fool's fist embroidery leg can't be on the table, that is, to strengthen the body."

"Hey, why did Brother Ning Xian come back half an hour early today?"

Liu Weining looked up at the sky and said in surprise.

"Didn't Brother Liu say that he wanted to have a banquet with a few Huguang scholars? I came back early. ”

"Oh, by the way, earlier today, a little servant from the Tao Mansion came to the guild hall to look for you, saying that his son-in-law invited you to come over to the mansion."

Liu Weining patted his head, and suddenly remembered the scene when the little scholar Tao Chun came to the courtyard this morning.

"Tao Chun?"

Ning Xiu froze when he heard this name.

Others may not know the name, but how could he not know.

At the beginning, Qi Linger and Tao Chun disguised themselves as men and went south from Beijing to Jingzhou, using the pseudonyms Tao Ling and Tao Chun along the way.

Ning Xiu doesn't have many friends in Beijing, so it is definitely impossible to have the same name. So if nothing else, this Tao Chun must be Qi Ling'er's personal maid Tao Chun.

What did Momoharu suddenly come to the hall to find herself? Ning Xiu was puzzled.

But this matter must have something to do with Ling'er.

Ning Xiu couldn't help but be vigilant. If it's an ordinary handmaiden, it's fine. It's just that this peach spring is very thoughtful, and it often makes people unguardable.

Ning Xiu had learned this when they first met. He didn't want this little maid to let Ling'er misinterpret his meaning.

"I'm going to Qi Shaobao's mansion."

"Go now?"

"Well, figure it out earlier, so as not to have a misunderstanding."

"What about the banquet?"

"Anyway, there's still half an hour, I'll go and go back."

But he said that Ning Xiu here asked the guild hall to prepare a horse and galloped towards Qi Jiguang's mansion.

Although his horseback riding skills are not top-notch, he is also good among many scholars.

There's no way, who told him to find Qi Jiguang's baby daughter as his fiancée.

will get married in the future, and others will say that Qi Shaobao's fast son-in-law can't ride a horse, isn't that a big joke?

You must know that Qi Shaobao is the god of war who exterminated the southeast Japanese invaders.

In the blink of an eye, he came to the Qi Mansion.

That disciple had already known Ning Xiu. Ning Xiu didn't say much, one turned over and jumped off the horse, handed the horse to the door and bolted it, and he was led into the house by another door official.

When the doorman saw his future uncle, he naturally flattered and flattered him in every possible way.

It's a pity that Ning Xiu has something on his mind now, and his overtures didn't attract much attention from Ning Xiu.

Menzi put a cold ass on his hot face, so he stopped climbing stupidly, and only routinely took Ning Xiu to the cross-courtyard where his young lady lived.

Ning Xiu came to the courtyard and cleared his throat and said, "Ling'er, I'm here." ”

He was met with silence.
