Chapter 3 First Meeting

"Master, where are we going?"

The boy picked up the fan that did not match this season, knocked on the head of the little servant who only had a long body and no memory, and said, "Mo Tong, do you need to think about where I go when I go out?" ”。

Isn't the handsome boy who shines in the red sleeves but walks away without saying a word? The dress seems to be casual but it is difficult to hide its style, there is no sluggishness of traditional readers, and some are informal.

"Look at this day, it's almost noon, aren't you hungry?" Mo Tong reminded.

"yes, let's go, let's eat."

"Master, I heard that Xinle Lou and Hele Lou are the most famous restaurants in this area." The little guy looked greedy and swallowed his saliva.

"You have to go, you don't have to be embarrassed to the master, tell you, it's not famous and delicious, go to a place to inquire which restaurant has been open for the longest time, if you are lucky enough, you can also eat more authentic local food", after speaking, he raised his eyebrows proudly, "You go and inquire, which restaurant on this street has the longest time, we will go there today."

After a while, the little guy came back: "What is it called Yi Qianxiang Restaurant". I couldn't help muttering in my heart, the name of this restaurant is too Wen Zou Zou.

The street was bustling, and after a while, the two of them walked to Yiqianxiang.

Yi Qianxiang was full of people at this time, and sitting by the window on the second floor was Yi Qianxiang's regular customer Guo Kui, Wen Yin heard Fu Hui say that there were many days in a year when the young man could be seen sitting in the same position holding a book from morning to night, and it was like this for many years. I couldn't help but be stunned.

When he looked down from the third floor, the young man's eyebrows and eyes were handsome, his thin lips were slightly pursed, his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, he held a book in his left hand, and tapped the table with his right hand from time to time. After about a quarter of an hour, he would look up out the window for a moment, and then lower his head and continue to look at the book in his hand.

As if sensing Wen Yin's eyes, Guo Kui met the gaze that looked at him. felt that this woman was different from other women, the women of other families met the man's eyes and either blushed with shame or turned their heads and left, few women can look directly at people so frankly, so he bowed his head at her.

Wen Yin also smiled back at him, and prepared to go back to the room. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the first floor, and people looked in the direction of the door. I saw that the leader was a forty or fifty-year-old official, followed by many officials.

"May I ask the shopkeeper if he has seen a Taoist priest in his thirties?" said an official on the right hand side of the official and took out a portrait from his bosom.

When the shopkeeper Fu saw the official errand appear at the door of his store, his heart was pounding, thinking that he had come to arrest the girl who had taken him in a few days ago, and only then did he relax his tense nerves when he heard the words of inquiry.

"There are all kinds of people who come and go every day, but I haven't seen any Taoist priests."

"The shopkeeper doesn't mind if I search your store, right?" Although the official messenger was asking, it was an unquestionable tone.

What is not suitable for the tense atmosphere in the room is that the leading official sat on the side and leisurely drank tea and looked around: "Dare to ask the shopkeeper if he saw any suspicious people today"?

"Suspicious people... Ah, no".

The official looked at the shopkeeper's speech, although his normal demeanor was a little unnatural, and he felt that there was something suspicious. So he raised his hand and said, "Search"!

"There's no need to search, the reason why the shopkeeper looks weird is because of me, but you also see that I'm not the person you're looking for." At this time, it was Wen Yin who spoke.

"Even so, it doesn't prove that the Taoist priest is not hiding in this shop", the official stroked his head and looked a little tired.

"Today I have been on the third floor looking at the direction of the door, from the opening of the store to the present a total of 106 guests, and there is no Taoist priest in the mouth of the official, if the Taoist priest has changed his dress, it should be sneaky, nervous face, most of these guests today are because of the temple fair to come out to play, each look natural, eyebrows unconsciously with joy." After Wen Yin finished speaking, she looked into the eyes of the official.

The official was also taken aback when he saw Wen Yin, and thought to himself, this little woman is very much like my sister, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"

"The little girl's name is Wenyin".

"Text... Wen Yin"? The official man rubbed his eyes as if he didn't believe it, "Your father is Wen Weitao"?

"Exactly... I don't know ...... adults" The words are not finished.

I just saw that the official glanced at his subordinates, and then said to her: "I am Dali Siqing, your uncle Yaozuo."

The people under the official master went on to search again, and only Wen Yin and the official looked at each other.

"Then may I ask if my uncle also has a jade pendant like this?"

The official looked at her with a smile, then took out a jade pendant from his waist that was roughly the same as Wen Yin's hand, but the color was different, and handed it to Wen Yin. Wen Yin carefully proofread it, returned the jade pendant to the official, and said, "Wen Yin went up to pack her luggage and went home with her uncle."

packed his luggage, said goodbye to the shopkeeper's father and daughter, and followed him to the official's house.

Zhang's house

I heard that the old man brought Miss Biao to the house, and dozens of people from all over the house came to have fun, but unfortunately the old man brought Miss Cousin into the study as soon as he returned to the house, and everyone couldn't help but talk curiously.

"This lady and the girl really look alike, and the girl was like this when she didn't come out of the cabinet, but I haven't seen her for so many years." It was a housekeeper in the house who spoke.

"Hey, then why did this Miss Biao suddenly come to Bianliang?" The girl on the side looked puzzled.

"Maybe it's not favored at home"? The other girl speculated to herself.

"Probably not, she's the only daughter in the family," said another grandmother.

At this time in the study

Zhang Yaozuo leaned back on the chair tiredly and pointed to the pastries on the table: "Yin'er, come and taste it to see if it suits the taste."

Wen Yin didn't answer and asked: "Uncle didn't ask me why I ran all the way from Dingzhou to Bianliang."

"If you want to say, you will say it if I don't ask, and if you don't want to say it, you may hide it if I ask." Zhang Yaozuo pointed to the pastries on the table again, "Eat a piece, the pastries of the kitchen lady in the house are very good, and you can eat some kumquats, this is something only in the palace." Zhang Yaozuo is more domineering as an official, but he is very close to his family. Whether it is to treat the sister-in-law or the brothers of the same clan, he is very generous.

"Something happened at home, and I had a big quarrel with my mother, so I ran out in a rage. On the way, he suffered a little crime, but he didn't turn back when he opened his bow, so he came all the way to Bianliang. I don't know who else to go to except my uncles." Wen Yin told the reason for leaving home as if pouring beans.

"Then let's live here, your aunt must have let Xianyueyuan clean it up, that small courtyard is very close to your cousins, so it's convenient to read and play together." Zhang Yaozuo said with a loving face, "There's nothing else, go and let the maids lead you to Xianyue Garden."

"Uncle, I still have a reluctant request, I hope you can allow me."

"What kind of reluctant invitation, you can talk about it", Zhang Yaozuo is still so gentle.

"When I was at home in the past, I heard from my mother that there is a Mr. Hua in Bianliang who is very skilled in medicine, and he is your friend, I wonder if you can take me to visit him another day?" Wen Yin slowly said from her mouth a person she had always wanted to meet.

"He once saved your mother's life, speaking of which, your mother was not as old as you at that time, and the years were unforgiving," Zhang Yaozuo sighed.

"I not only want to visit him, but I also want to worship him as a teacher, I hope my uncle will help me, Wen Yin knows that she is a little rude, and she will make trouble and embarrass her uncle again and again when she arrives here", Wen Yin said and saluted her uncle.

Zhang Yaozuo waved his hand indifferently, "What's this, between our uncles and nephews, how can there be so much attention, you are already a big girl, but it is the first time you have met for so many years, and your uncle can't stand you."

"Then Wen Yin thanked her uncle for this meeting gift", Wen Yin said and blessed her body again.

Seeing Miss Biao coming out of the study, several maids stepped forward, and the peony beside the lady said: "Miss Cousin, let's go with the slaves, the lady said that she will take you to the Xianyue Garden when you come out."

Wen Yin nodded and walked in front of the left of the maids, the study is built in the main courtyard of Zhang's Mansion Zhenying Pavilion at the leftmost end, this Zhenying Pavilion is the largest courtyard of Zhang's Mansion, the design is relatively simple and atmospheric, not far from Zhenying Pavilion is the pavilion and pavilion, the small bridge flows, walk through the red wooden bridge to the northwest through the garden of Zhangfu, there is a rockery in the garden is very peculiar. Wen Yin couldn't help but take a second look, and at this moment, a boy about eight years old fell from the rockery!
