Chapter 215: Suddenly
Chen thought about it carefully, it was really 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 San with a smile: "Did you sleep well yesterday?" I heard my daughter say that Miss Xu has some recognition of the bed, is it better? ”
From Mrs. Yang San's face, she couldn't see any difference from usual, her smile was still gentle and polite, and her voice was still soft and pleasant: "Fortunately, your daughter gave us half a bottle of perfume, otherwise it would be a little uncomfortable." ”
The two of them talked about the fragrance.
For a while, it was also enjoyable.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt that her mother had finally made a friend, and hoped that her mother would be happy during her stay at Zhaoming Temple.
Miss Xu smiled at her from behind, and whispered to her on the way to greet Pei Lao'an: "Now is not the time to speak, we'll talk about it later." ”
Looks like something happened after they left yesterday!
Yu Tang's heart was about to move, and he was still thinking about it when Pei Lao'an and the others went to the main hall. It wasn't until he stood still in the main hall that the monk Zhike brought a tray to collect the box with the eight characters of his birthday, and Yu Tang concentrated his mind, didn't dare to think about it anymore, and knelt down with Miss Xu on the west side of the main hall to listen to the great monk's practice.
And so the morning passed.
After the Dharma was over, people like Yu Tang were all helped up by the maids, not to mention Pei Lao'an and others.
Incompetent personally accompanied Pei Laoan to the back of the meditation room.
Miss Xu took the opportunity to get together with Yu Tang and whispered, "Why didn't you see other people?" ”
The only people who participated in today's ceremony were the Pei family's daughter, Chen's mother and daughter, Miss Xu, and Mrs. Yang San, who sat in the flower hall yesterday.
Yu Tang nodded, inexplicably feeling that he suddenly became closer to the Pei family, as if he had also become a relative and friend of the Pei family.
Miss Xu said to her, "You go to my place in the afternoon to play, just go pick up a few bottles of perfume." ”
Pay somebody back in the same coin.
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.
Yu Tang was not good at saying anything in the main hall just now, and when she returned to the wing room, she squatted down to help her mother look at her knees.
Fortunately, I had tied cotton pads to my knees before, so my legs were a little stiff and nothing else.
Chen smiled: "I thought I could do it!" I didn't expect that I would have old arms and legs, and I couldn't admit defeat anymore. I don't know how Pei Lao'an survived? If only I had this body at her old age. ”
Mrs. Chen took the clothes and accessories for Chen's change of clothes in the cage, and said with a smile: "Maybe Lao An will be in the same hurry as you when he goes back, and he is in a hurry to massage his legs!" ”
Yu Tang and Chen both laughed.
Chen asked Yu Tang to pull up his pants and show her.
Because of his own experience, Yu Tang was particularly pious, and his knees were red.
Chen's heart was so painful that he hurriedly asked Mrs. Chen to take her to Xijian's residence to rub the medicine, and said, "I'll have dinner at your side in the evening, you can 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 there and sit down and come back." ”
Chen thought about it 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 and go again, there will be a lecture tomorrow!" ”
Yu Tang agreed with a smile, went back to take a nap, got up to change clothes and freshen up, let Shuangtao take a snack and went to Miss Xu.
Who knew that as soon as she stepped into the courtyard where Miss Xu lived, she saw Miss Xu hurriedly walking out with Ah Fu.
Yu Tang also thought that Miss Xu heard the movement and came to greet her.
Miss Xu was stunned when she saw her, Yu Tang knew that she was unlucky, Miss Xu might have something to go out, so she saw Miss Xu laugh embarrassedly, then rolled her eyes, dragged her to the straight ginkgo tree outside the door, and whispered to her: "Do you know Zhou Zijin?" It's the Zhou Zijin who won the champion and is good at drawing beauty pictures! ”
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, and when she had diarrhea in Hangzhou City, Zhou Zijin also sent someone to visit her.
She was puzzled, "What do you ask him for?" ”
Miss Xu's eyebrows fluttered and said, "He also came to Zhaoming Temple. I've got to go see what he looks like? ”
"That's not good!" Yu Tang hesitated.
Miss Xu didn't care, and said, "I heard that he is more suave than Pei Yaoguang!" Come with me to see it! ”
Yu Tang frowned.
In her heart, although Pei Yan treats people coldly, she acts in a very orderly manner, unlike Zhou Zijin, who always has a little pickiness in her 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 didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"You've actually seen Zhou Zijin!" Miss Xu said in surprise, looking her up and down, "I'll just say why aren't you curious?" I hope you have not only seen Pei Yaoguang, but also Zhou Zijin! ”
Yu Tang panicked inexplicably, and said: "I am from Jiangnan, and I have more opportunities to meet them than you." What's more, Zhou Zijin has been to Lin'an before, and I am not the only one in Lin'an City who has seen the two of them, what is there to say. ”
Miss Xu jumped to her feet: "When the famous scholars of the dynasty, I have only Pei Yaoguang and Zhou Zijin who have not seen it." Pei Yaoguang has already paid tribute, if I can't see him this time, I'm afraid I won't see him again in the future. Zhou Zijin is even more difficult to see, he is not only Zhishi, but also uncertain, I am also lucky to meet this time, why do I have to meet him! ”
Yu Tang doesn't understand such persistence.
Miss Xu said aggrievedly: "Yin Mingyuan and I are compiling a Jinshi Record, and we want to collect all the top ten papers of these sessions, write a Jinshi genealogy, and draw a Jinshi portrait." Now there is a shortage of Zhou Zijin. ”
Yu Tang was stunned, and then embarrassed.
She thought that Miss Xu was playing around because she was bored.
"Then I'll go with you!" Because the Zhaoming Temple lecture was approaching, the Pei family was afraid that something would happen, so they sent guards to surround the Zhaoming Temple, and in Yu Tang's heart, the Zhaoming Temple was as safe as the Pei family's backyard, and she immediately agreed.
Miss Xu was very happy, and while pulling her out, she said, "You have to show me when the time comes." ”
Yu Tang stumbled and was dragged by her, and it took a long time to keep up with her.
"Where is Zhou Zijin?" She gasped and asked Miss Xu, "How are we going to meet him?" Did he come to attend a lecture at Zhaoming Temple? ”
After a few questions, Miss Xu didn't know what to answer, so she only said, "You just come with me." ”
The two trotted all the way to a foothold in a small wood.
Miss Xu said, "Let's just wait here." This is the only way to come out of Pei Yaoguang, Zhou Zijin came to Zhaoming Temple, and he will definitely come to visit Pei Yaoguang's ......"
Before she finished her words, Yu Tang saw Gu Chang, who was wearing a royal blue net face and straight silk jacket, with fair skin and elegant temperament, walking over from the side of the road surrounded by four or five entourages.
"Why is Gu Chaoyang here?" Yu Tang was stunned, "Shouldn't he be in the capital?" ”
Miss Xu was also startled, but she quickly calmed down, pondered for a moment, and muttered, "Could it be that the new imperial history sent to Jiangnan Province is Gu Chaoyang?" ”
"What do you mean?" Yu Tang asked.
Miss Xu took a deep breath and said, "Before I left Beijing, everyone was rumored that there was a problem with the river in Gaoyou, and the Holy Lord asked the Imperial Court to send the imperial history to Gaoyou to inspect, it seems that this imperial history is Gu Chaoyang!" ”
Yu Tang said: "Then he should also be in Gaoyou?" How could it be at this point? ”
"He's gone a little far." Miss Xu said, her expression a little solemn.
Yu Tang said: "Can the imperial history of Jiangnan Province move around at will?" ”
"They want to investigate cases, and of course they can move around at will." Miss Xu's eyes stared at Yongdao, she 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?" ”
Why is it still related to the royal affairs?
Yu Tang gasped.
Miss Xu was busy haha, and said embarrassedly: "I'm just guessing at random - everyone said that the money allocated by the Ministry of Industry to Gaoyou to repair the river was greedy for ink, so I said so." Whether it's true or not, you have to check it to find out! ”
The more she explained, the more uneasy Yu Tang became.
"What does this have to do with the Pei family?" She asked uneasily.
Miss Xu pondered for a long time before she whispered: "Don't look at the infighting among these families in Jiangnan, but they are also very united at a critical time, and no one can say when they will turn against each other and when they will be happy again." Zhou Zijin appeared here, maybe it was all related to this incident! ”
Yu Tang didn't want to think about the worst of things, and muttered: "Maybe people are here for the marriage of Miss Gu and the eldest young master of the Pei family!" ”
"I hope so!" Miss Xu touched her chin, acting like a boy, and said, "The marriage between the Gu and Pei families was originally very sudden, and there must be some conditions that have not been negotiated, and it is possible for him to come over in person." First, it is to determine the marriage between the two families, and secondly, it can also support his sister-in-law. The second room of the Gu family is too much to see. After speaking, she asked Yu Tang: "Why haven't I seen Mrs. Pei in the past few days, she should have 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, Yu Tang saw Zhou Zijin getting closer and closer to them, and hurriedly said, "Shall we hide behind the big tree?" Standing here like this, it was easy for Gu Chaoyang to find out. ”
Miss Xu pondered for a moment after listening, and then took Yu Tang's hand and was about to walk out: "We should take the initiative instead of standing here and being suspected." We went forward, and if he stopped us and asked, we said that we were going to see Pei Yaoguang. What do you think if he gives way to us, we don't see him? ”
Yu Tang has always been timid and cautious, if it was usual, 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 when she thought about it.
She decided to listen to Miss Xu.
