Wang Tao went back to the room to change his clothes, sat at the table and picked up the champa embroidered with pear blossoms, and for a moment, he seemed to see the slender figure of the girl under the pear blossom tree flying in the sky, and the beautiful smile bloomed on the pear blossom in an instant, and he couldn't help but be a little stupid.

It wasn't until the maid Chunni came in with lunch that she saw Wang Tao in a daze at the handkerchief, and couldn't help shouting twice, which called him back from his imagination.

Chunni pursed her lips and asked with a smile: "Fourth young master, what good things, you are crazy?" ”

Wang Tao was embarrassed, hurriedly retracted the handkerchief into his sleeve, and glanced at Chunni, "Poor mouth, young master, I will go to the Yuguo Mansion in a while, hurry up and eat." ”

"Yes, Fourth Young Master!" Chunni pursed her lips and set the meal.

Wang Tao was bored with rice, didn't even look at Chunni, hastily ate the rice, and took a sip of tea, "I'm leaving!" ”

Chunni looked at Wang Tao, who was running away in a hurry and seemed to be running out of the house, and muttered puzzledly: "Hey, isn't it the cousin's handkerchief?" By the way, as for the face? ”

Wang Tao ran to the gate in one breath, patted Xiōng and let out a sigh, then slowly sorted out his clothes, turned over and got on his horse and went to Liufang Hutong.

When Wang Tao arrived at Yuguo's mansion, he and Yuzi were close, and he came to Guogong's mansion a lot of times, and he was also a regular guest in the mansion. When the porter's servant saw Wang Tao, he greeted him with a smile and led the horse to serve, and invited him to Yu Zidu's study.

Entering the study, Yu Zidu was sitting in front of the desk and reading the book. When Wang Tao came in, he was still immersed in the fragrance of paper and ink, and he didn't even hear the scholar's reminder.

"Shizi, Shizi."

"That's it, it's common to read books and get into your heart, don't disturb the son's meditation." Wang Tao waved his hand to stop the scholar and found a place on the side to sit down.

After a while, Yu Zi finished reading a page, stretched out his hand and pressed his neck, only to find that Wang Tao was coming, put down the book and hugged his fists to apologize, "I read the book for a while, so that the virtuous brother has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Don't get in the way, I don't know what book is so wonderful that Brother Yu can read it so fascinated?"

Yu Zidu closed the book and handed it to Wang Tao, "It is a manuscript of Wu Yong's "Strange Weapon Theory" of the Zhou Dynasty. ”

"Huh-" Wang Tao flipped through it casually, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Yuzi was puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Tao explained: "Oh, I just saw the annotations on the book, and they are somewhat similar to my cousin's handwriting. ”

Yu Zidu smiled, "Your eyesight is good, and you can see that the book is Qingdai's handwriting." This book was sent by her after the end of the year. ”

Tao Liran, knowing that Qingdai was to thank Yu Zidu for saving him that night, he didn't think about it anymore, he looked down and looked at the familiar handwriting on the page twice, remembered the handkerchief lying in his sleeve, and his heart was hot, and the smile in the corner of Chún was even better, "This girl has liked to read these miscellaneous books since she was a child, and she wants me to help me change them when she is free, and last time I also said that I would help her to borrow two volumes from Brother Yu, and she was afraid that you would not let me speak." ”

Yu Zidu looked at Wang Tao, and could think of Qing Dai's look of fear of trouble when she spoke, shook her head and chuckled, "I know that she likes antiques and strange objects, speaking of which, if she hadn't gone to the bamboo house to drink tea and stared at my carved lacquer tea set for a long time when she was a child, I haven't thought about it to understand how much that thing is worth." Since that time, whenever I have free time, I have gone to look through these miscellaneous books, and I have to look at Bogu Street, for fear that I will make some jokes and make a little girl look down on ......."

Yu Zidu's voice showed a faint nostalgia, his eyes looked at the book in Wang Tao's hand, and the expression on his face was very soft. Wang Tao rarely sees such a Yu Zidu, even if he is always gentle and polite on weekdays, although his smile is amiable, he will always give people a feeling of mildness and a little alienation, and rarely show such a relaxed and pleasant smile.

Wang Tao's thought flashed in his mind, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Yu Zi had returned to his former indifference, and he smiled and handed the book back, "Speaking of which, this is also the fate of Brother Yu and us, hehe!" ”

The two chatted for a few words, and Yu Zi saw that it was not too early, "All the ministries and offices are all in the middle of the time, and they will return when they are fed, I asked Director Fang, I want to welcome guests recently, and the people in the Siyi Pavilion are all late, and I am afraid that there will be something to inquire about temporarily." At this time, we will leave, and when we get over there, they are busy with their daily tasks, and they are just talking. ”

"Well, I heard my father say that the famous biography and geographical chronicles of various countries in the Siyi Pavilion are all well-read people who have traveled all over the country and have seen a lot. Thank you Brother Yu this time! ”

Yu Zidu patted Wang Tao, "You are too polite." Ling Zun is now the Ministry of Rites, and the Siyi Pavilion is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, if you want to go, just say hello to Lord Ling Zun, and you will definitely be able to find the right person to explain to you. ”

Wang Tao responded with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Yu, I thought about going to the Siyi Pavilion." However, my father has just entered the ministry, and he is not familiar with it, and he is in time for the Halloween Festival, where can he take care of these. I thought I would wait until I was done with this time, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Yu today. ”

"Don't say kind words, let's go!"

As soon as the two of them were discharged from the hospital, they met Yu Ziqi head-on, and they heard that the two were going to Siyi Pavilion, and they followed.

The three of them arrived at the Siyi Pavilion and met with Director Fang. Director Fang was very courteous, invited the three of them to the inner room for tea, and hurriedly ran out to find the most knowledgeable interpreter in the museum, and accompanied the future Guogong and his younger brother, as well as the boss's son-in-law to chat and explain Huò. came, and took the three of them to the library to borrow books.

The three of them separated in the library, the curator accompanied Yu Zidu, and the other two accompanied Wang Tao and Yu Ziqi, each looking for the book they wanted to read.

After half an hour, the three of them rushed to the door of the library before closing, Wang Tao didn't dare to help him anymore, and came out with five books in his arms. Seeing that the Yu brothers had not yet come out, he put the book on the desk and sat on a chair next to him to rest.

Because of looking for books up and down in front of his head, Wang Tao was so hot that he was sweating profusely, so he grabbed his sleeve and wiped it on his forehead, and suddenly remembered the handkerchief in the sleeve tube, and didn't want the handkerchief in the sleeve tube to be half cut off. He was afraid that the sweat would get dirty, so he hurriedly reached out and took it out to look at it, and when he saw that it was not dirty, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Tao was about to carefully stuff it back into the sleeve tube, not wanting to have sharp eyes behind him, looking at the handkerchief as if it was for a woman, he reached out from behind and pulled it, and shook it in his hand, "The pear blossom branch is pretty, yo, which one sent you to the love object that is not really recruited?" ”

"Where is the token of love, return me quickly!" Wang Tao hurriedly stretched out his hand to snatch it, Yu Ziqi dodged everywhere, looked at Wang Tao's face flushed, became more and more interested, and teased: "You and I are so familiar, I don't know when you have a sweetheart, if you don't recruit from the truth, I won't pay you back!" ”

Between the two pushing and shoving, Yuzi came, "Chengzhi, are you messing around again?!" ”

Yu Zidu's shout startled Yu Ziqi, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the handkerchief floated out, and he was about to fall to the ground. Yu Zidu stretched out his hand to take it, but it was a handkerchief, he looked down, the corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with a white pear flower, the white pear blossom on the brown sè branch, or in full bloom or with buds, the stitches were delicate and exquisite, and there were two strange character patterns embroidered with silver thread next to the pear blossom.

If you are someone else, you may not know this character, but Yu Zidu feels very familiar, and after a closer look, he finds that it is similar to the string of ink characters in the corner of the title page of "Strange Weapon Theory".

"Brother Yu, can you give me back the veil?" Wang Tao looked at Yu Zidu and frowned at Qingdai's handkerchief, for fear that he would find something, so he asked softly beside him.

Yuzi retracted his gaze and returned the handkerchief to Wang Tao, "Anzhi, the flowers on this handkerchief are exquisitely embroidered." ”

When Wang Tao heard this, he smiled dryly: "The craftsmanship is vulgar, which makes Brother Yu laugh." ”

Yu Zidu shook his head, and asked unintentionally: "This embroiderer is not worse than the craftsmanship of the imperial clothing workshop, I don't know which embroidery workshop it comes from?" ”

"It's not the work of the embroidery workshop, it's the embroidery of my own maid."

"Which one is there such a clever girl by your side?" Yu Ziqi has been to Wang's house, but the maids beside Wang Tao have seen two, looking at Wang Tao's nervous appearance, he couldn't help teasing, "It's good to let Ming'er give it to me." ”

Wang Tao looked embarrassed, how could he say that it was embroidered by Qingdai, so he had to secretly scold himself for being muddy, why did he run out with a handkerchief if he had nothing to do.

"My maid is rough, where can she compare to the one in the Guogong Mansion, I am afraid that you will be retreated by you in two or three days."

"That's hard to say! I like to embroider a good maid, embroider a fan cover, a pen cover, a purse or something......"

Yu Ziqi smiled and waited for Wang Tao to answer. Wang Tao's face turned red, and he didn't speak for a long time. Yu Ziqi laughed louder and louder, "I said when did you kid open up, I couldn't bear it...... Hehe! ”

"I know, you kid don't look at what kind of place this is, have you made enough fuss?" As soon as Yu Zidu was powerful, Yu Ziqi immediately became a sick cat, and snorted in a low voice, not daring to laugh at Wang Tao again.

Yu Zidu frowned and glared at Yu Ziqi, turned his head to Wang Tao and said, "An Zhi, I'm sorry!" I know that this kid's mouth is not blocked, don't go to your heart. ”

Wang Tao waved his hand, "Brother Yu, you are too polite, this little thing is not in the way!" ”

After making a fuss, the three of them said goodbye to Director Fang and left the Siyi Pavilion in a hurry. On the way, Wang Tao quit the Yu brothers and returned to Lotus Hutong by himself.

Yu Ziqi looked at the figure of Wang Tao beating the horse and leaving, and said to himself with a smile: "I have caught my shortcomings, and I can run faster than a mouse." When I don't know who gave it to you? ”

"Do you know who it is?" Yu Zidu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he startled Yu Ziqi again, "Big brother, why are you talking so close, and you're still riding a horse?!" ”

Yuzi glanced at Yuzi, waved his whip and moved out a little, "You don't know everything, why don't you know that I'm going to ask you?" Who did you say gave Wang Tao that handkerchief? ”

Yu Ziqi didn't expect that Yu Zi, who had never liked to inquire, would care about these gossips, and said as if he was busy: "Wang Tao's nervous look just now must not have been given by his maid." The girl that kid sees on weekdays is Qi Huan's sister-in-law except for his cousin, Qi Huan asks me about Wang Tao all day long, I guess the handkerchief was given by Qi Zhen. ”

"Could it be that his cousin sent it?"

"Qingdai's fierce girl will do such delicate embroidery?" But for some reason, Yu Ziqi didn't want the original owner of the handkerchief to be Qingdai, so he hypnotized himself and didn't admit another possibility.

Yuzi listened to Yuzi's words and didn't react for a while, frowning on the horse and not knowing what to think.

Yu Ziqi wondered, and called twice: "Big brother, big brother-"

Yu Zidu glanced back at him, and suddenly smiled, "You are right, that handp is estimated to be given by the sixth girl of the Qi family." Then he struck his horse and galloped forward.

Yu Ziqi was at a loss and didn't know what to say, and when he saw that the person was running away, he reacted and hurriedly chased after him, "Big brother, wait for me!" ”RO！。
