Tan Yin and Yan Min saw that Yan Ya stayed at home all day, although there was nothing on the surface, they were still depressed in their hearts, and they were even more distressed when they knew that she would only put something in their hearts.

The two often persuaded her to go out. This day is the first day of the new year, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the two of them accompanied her to Lingyin Temple early in the morning to incense.

Hangzhou is originally beautiful, and spring is the most beautiful season of the year, full of spring, spring flowers, layers of forests, beautiful scenery on the mountains and so on.

Lingyin Temple is located on the mountain, the temple is hidden in the dense green trees, it is a famous temple in the world, it has been inherited for a hundred years, the incense is prosperous, and the visitors are weaving.

Walking up the bluestone stairs, the secluded mountains and forests on both sides, the eaves of the temple looming in the distance, entering the important place of Buddhism, the heart seems to have settled down.

At that time, people had the tradition of entering the incense on the first day of the new year, and there were many people who came to burn incense today, and they were about to try it in the township, and many scholars also came to burn incense with their families.

Several girls entered the temple to worship the Buddha and ask for signs, praying for peace and good health in life. Naturally, it is indispensable to ask for a marriage sign, Yan Min asked for a sign, and Yan Ya asked for a middle sign: "The past is like smoke and is far away, and you are at ease in front of you." ”

Maybe there will be a new good marriage after Yanya dissolves the marriage contract. Tan Yin accidentally knocked over the lottery holder when drawing lots, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for it.

After the incense, the three girls played in the mountains and forests around the temple. The sunlight comes in through the dense woods, reflected in the mottled ground, the mountains are stacked and green, lush, the stream is murmuring, the breeze is blowing, the pure land of Buddhism, the open land, and the gloom in the heart is also swept away.

Walking and walking, I didn't expect to meet two people, it turned out to be Jiaxing scholars Zhao Xu and Gu Zijun who I met on the way to Hangzhou.

Tan Yin never saw the two of them again after saying goodbye in Hangzhou, but she knew that her father and eldest cousin had asked the two to get together again. Tan Jun admired the two of them a lot, and they knew each other on the road, and Zhao Xu and the others also saw her.

It's about to be tested, and looking at this slow and leisurely appearance, the two of them are also determined.

Tan Yin once heard her father's eldest cousin talk about these two people later, and these two are also wonderful people.

Zhao Gu and the others are not separated from Meng, and Meng is not separated from Jiao, both of them are from famous local families in Jiaxing.

The Zhao family has been a scholarly family for generations, and it has been a prestigious family for generations. The Zhao family's private school has always been famous and talented. This Zhao Xu also lives up to expectations, he has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, has read thousands of volumes, is thoughtful, and is a leader among his peers in Jiaxing.

The Gu family is a large landowner in Jiaxing, with a thousand tilts of fertile land, and a lot of business in the family. Gu Zijun is the only son in the family, there are five sisters, the strange thing is that the temperament is not sticky, but a little impulsive and chivalrous, it is said that when he was a child, he was afraid that he would not be able to support, so he was fostered in the temple, and followed the master for two years, and then studied in the Zhao family's private school.

Because Tan Jun is the master of the academy, Tan Yin naturally has a little closeness to the two, but this is not the point that Tan Yin remembers.

The focus is that the Zhao family has the largest library in Jiaxing, Jiaye Thatched Cottage, the Zhao family has accumulated a hundred years, has a collection of more than 100,000 books, and is one of the three major private library buildings in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Gu family is on the south lake, occupying a large area of the lake, and there is a private garden Sanmou Garden near the lake, which is said to be much better than Changchun Garden. Among them, there are a hundred gardens, the flowers are different at four o'clock, compete for the strange, the beauty is unique, some people say that it is the most beautiful garden in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a great victory in Jiaxing.

This library building and hundred gardens make Tan Yin yearn for it very much.

Seeing the two, Tan Yin walked over to greet them, while Sister Yanya waited on the side.

It turned out that these two people also came to try incense for the township today.

"The master said that the son was silent, and it was strange that the god of chaos was strong." Tan Yin said with a smile.

"Isn't it always wrong to have multiple blessings?" Gu Zijun smiled after hearing this, it seems that the influence of staying in the temple when he was a child is still there.

"I didn't want to come, but I was dragged here by this person, you see, I was laughed at!" Zhao Xu said helplessly.

Tan Yin had to ask how the two of them were prepared, listening to what the two of them meant, they were very sure about the township test, but they were not very sure about the Beijing test in Ming Chun, and they planned to be like Li Zheng, preparing to set off for the capital in the autumn and preparing for the Beijing test and the selection. As Li Zheng said, talents will gather in the capital this winter and next spring.

The two greeted Tan Jun for the latest situation. I learned that the three young ladies came to burn incense, and I also knew about the recent events of the Gao family, so I was quite sympathetic.

Gu Zijun comforted her and said: "Your Gao family is affectionate and righteous, and the son of the Xu family has given up a good family business, I just hope that he will not regret it in the future." ”

"What does he regret, he can't wait to get rid of my second sister!" Tan Yin thought of Yanya and was unhappy.

"The son of the Xu family is older, and it is normal for him to have his own ideas. It is understandable that a sweetheart is unwilling to fulfill the marriage contract, but it is extremely inappropriate to drag the Miss Gao family and let the female family propose to terminate the contract, so that the unmarried lady bears the name of saltless. Zhao Xu said.

"Dongsheng, a gentleman promises a thousand gold, and the marriage contract is set by the ancestors, how can it be regarded as child's play." Gu Zijun said unevenly.

"He doesn't have any sweetheart, that Yun Xian is just a concubine at most. If I really break the marriage contract for my sweetheart, I can still afford him, and I can be regarded as responsible. It's just for their own future and status. Don't think that everyone wants to look forward to his high branch, his wife hasn't passed the door yet, but the concubine has been found first, this is the style of the scholarly family? We're not uncommon! Tan Yin thought of Yanya's criticism, and was a little unfair.

"Miss Tan, of course the Xu family did something very inauthentic, but I heard that the elders of the Xu family went to the Gao family to mediate with all their might, but the Gao family finally insisted on dissolving the marriage contract." Zhao Xu analyzed.

"Yes, they tried their best to keep it, but my Gao family didn't know what to do. It's just that the Gao family is not one of those dead-faced people, since there is no fate, why bother reluctantly! ”

The two thought that the Gao family was forced to withdraw from the marriage, which shows that they love their daughter very much, and they are not the kind of family that clings to the powerful. Seeing the Yanya sisters waiting in the distance, and seeing the two young ladies of the Gao family behaving generously, gentle and elegant, I couldn't help but sigh when I thought of all kinds of unbearable rumors in the market.

The two of them are not the ones who are dead readers, although their personalities are different, but they are both well-behaved, Tan Yin and the two of them can talk quite well, but in the end, there is a difference between men and women, and Yan Ya Yanmin is still waiting, so they can't talk for a long time, so they wish the two of them a high school township exam, and they said goodbye to the two in a hurry.

……

At noon, I had a vegetarian meal in Xixiangtang, Xu was a little uncomfortable, Tan Yin went to the thatched house, which was a little far away, about ten minutes away.

Back at Xixiangtang, Yan Ya Yanmin was already waiting for her, and a few people walked down the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain was a prosperous place, with many small merchants and vendors.

When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, Tan Yin suddenly found that the silver hairpin that Li Zheng gave her was missing, and the silver hairpin was not valuable, but the meaning of this silver hairpin was naturally different, so she was anxious to go back and find it.

Yan Ya Yanmin persuaded that the mountain was so big, where to find it, and besides, it would take an hour to go back and forth, maybe someone would have picked it up a long time ago. Tan Yin recalled that when she was eating lunch, she was still stroking her hair, and there were bluestone slabs all the way down the mountain, and if it fell, there was a sound, it was estimated that it fell in Xixiangtang or on the way to the thatched hut, and she must go back to find it, and everyone had to rely on her.

Sister Yanya was waiting for her at the foot of the mountain. Yan Min saw the colorful gadgets and didn't let go, but Yan Ya was not in the mood and waited on the side.

Suddenly, a person rushed out and ran towards her, and looked back from time to time, chasing a fat man behind him, and shouting: "Little rabbit, steal my buns." ”

The man didn't pay attention to the front, and suddenly bumped into Yanya, who accidentally fell to the ground, and the clothes on his body were stained by the man and the ground, and the man also fell.

Yanya stood up, her body was very embarrassed, she picked up the little beggar with her hand, but it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, her face was black and she couldn't see her appearance, her eyes were big and bright, and she grabbed four buns in her black hands.

At this moment, the fat man who was chasing after him also arrived, twisted the little beggar's ear with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to beat him. Everyone hurriedly stopped the fat man, Yanya stopped the fat man and asked the little beggar why he stole something, and the little beggar cried that his companion was sick and had not eaten for a long time, and he had not begged for food for a long time, so he had to steal the bun and go back to him to eat.

When everyone saw that the little beggar was pitiful, they all persuaded the fat man not to beat the little beggar, and Yanya took some money to the fat man and counted it as bun money, and gave some money to the beggar, so that he could ask the doctor to treat his companion and buy some food by the way.

The little beggar was grateful, and everyone praised Yanya. At this time, Yan Min had already bought good things and was waiting on the side, thinking: "It is you who say that Yanya is saltless and rude, and it is also you who say that she is beautiful and kind. ”

After waiting for more than two hours, Tan Yin finally came back, fortunately found the silver hairpin, and several people made an appointment to go to Menghua Street to play.

……

Tan Yin didn't draw a marriage lot in Lingyin Temple, but her rotten peach blossoms came.

The Li family of the mighty dart bureau in the city has a lot of business dealings with the Gao family, and the Li family's knife technique is quite famous, and the Shaodong family calls it "Li Dadao".

Li Dadao is about twenty-two or three years old, burly, dignified, arrogant, and has many friends, and he is also a well-known character in Hangzhou.

Li Dadao is not very old, but there are a lot of wives, before and after marrying five concubines, the original wife passed away last spring, the fifth lady of Gangna was originally a Qinglou Oiran, very beautiful, the most charming, and the most favored.

On that day, the eldest prince accompanied his uncle's family to play in the West Lake, and when he met Li Dadao, he said hello.

On this day, Li Dadao came to the Gao family in person, and the eldest prince entertained him, thinking that he was going to talk about business, who would have thought that he would propose to marry Tan Yin as the main room, and promised not to take concubines in the future, the Gao family was so angry that they couldn't cry or laugh, and refused on the grounds that Tan Jun was not there.

The Gao family had just broken off the marriage contract with the Xu family, and now Miss Biao rejected Li Dadao, which has become the focus of discussion in the city again.

Some people say that this Li Dadao has a lot of concubines and has a bold personality, but Miss Tan is a scholar, and it is natural that the Gao family will not allow it. There are also many people who say that Li Dadao is extraordinary, has a lot of money, and has a wide range of contacts, this time he is marrying a wife, and he promises not to marry a concubine in the future, which is also affectionate and righteous, and he is also compatible with Miss Tan's family.

After being rejected by the Gao family, Li Dadao was not discouraged, and sent some of the girl's favorite things all day long, today is jewelry and clothing, tomorrow is pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the Gao family will return, next time he will send more and more precious things, the Gao family is very annoyed with him, but first, there are business dealings, and secondly, I don't want to offend him too much, it is really a fly that can't be driven away. Tan Yin didn't know why she got into such a rotten peach blossom, and now in addition to Yanya, Tan Yin was also depressed.

Yan Min Xu is a friend of the Gao family, both of them grew up watching the two parents, they both understand their character and temperament, and they can imagine that the future must be husband and wife. The old lady beat her chest and said that she had suffered Yanya, let her suffer this crime, she should not be engaged to the Xu family, she should still be friends with the world, and let the eldest prince help Yanya pay attention to it in the world.
