After coming out of the Medicine King Temple, Qingdai slowly returned to Zhuangzi with Yu Zidu and Wang Tao.

Along the way, Wang Tao and Yu Zi walked together, and Qingdai walked behind the two. Wang Tao thought about Qingdai, and glanced back from time to time, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth every time he turned around.

Halfway through, Yu Zidu suddenly took the initiative to ask Wang Tao about the Shujishi exam.

What kind of person is Yu Zi, although he is not in the official career, but he has friendships with all the scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and he is even more respected by the emperor, and he must have his own experience in this kind of strategy examination. Wang Taoben was embarrassed to ask, and when he heard Yuzi take the initiative to talk about it, he was immediately attracted to attention, and humbly asked Yuzidu for advice. Yu Zidu instructed Wang Tao seriously. Qingdai followed the two all the way, and saw that the two had a good chat, so they didn't go up to bother.

Yu Zidu and Wang Tao talked while walking all the way, Wang Tao felt that he had benefited a lot, and when he returned to Zhuangzi, he thanked Yu Zidu again and again, and his good impression of him increased a little more.

When she arrived at the village gate, Qingdai was about to say goodbye to Wang Tao and Yuzi and return to the East Cross Courtyard, but she heard the sound of horses' hooves. Everyone looked back, and one man and one horse galloped forward.

"But the prince in front?"

While shouting, the horse had arrived at the gate of the village. A man dressed in brocade clothes and looked like a guard jumped down from his horse, "Little knock to see the son." ”

Yu Zidu was surprised and said: "Dacheng, why are you here, but there is red in the house"

The person replied: "The prince asked the little one to come and send a letter to the prince, and the little one arrived at Tanzhe Temple and was told that you had come here, so he rushed over." Guogong asks you to return to the city tomorrow. ”

"Got it!"

Wang Tao asked the steward to arrange a place for Wei Dacheng. Yu Zidu went to see Wang Yang to ask for his resignation, but Wang Yang said: "Today, the teacher also sent someone to look for me and asked me to go back as soon as possible." I was just about to inform you. I didn't expect you to go back to the city too, so let's go all the way. ”

A message was suddenly sent from Beijing, and everyone hurriedly packed up their salutes and returned to Beijing early the next morning.

Hehuā Hutong is in the south of the city, and after entering the city, Wang Yang's family arrived first. Qingdai didn't stop at Wang's house, said goodbye to Wang Yang and them, and took the Wang's carriage back to Daihat Hutong, which happened to be the same road as Yuzidu.

The carriage walked north along Suzaku Street, Qingdai sat in the car, and Yuzi followed the carriage on horseback. When I arrived at the entrance of Dongguan Zhengjie, Qingdai liáo drove the curtain, "Brother Long, I'm going east,

Say goodbye today. ”

"It's still early, I'll send you back to Liufang Hutong after I send you home." Yu Zidu's smile was gentle, and people couldn't bear to refuse his words, "Okay, don't say kind words to me, let's go!" ”

Qing Dai swallowed back the words to her mouth, smiled at Yuzi, and lowered the curtain.

Yu Zidu hit his horse and continued to move forward, his eyes swept over the gently swaying curtain from time to time.

The bright sunlight sprinkled on the bamboo curtain, the face of the girl inside loomed, and the pure eyebrows and eyes turned into a hazy light and shadow, even if it was not real, it was impossible to see.

It seemed that the singing I heard in the courtyard that night sounded in my ears again.

The orchid is yiyi, and its fragrance is promoted......,.........

The incense arches and is secluded......,.........

Yuzi was stunned for a moment, slowly retracted his gaze, grabbed the reins with his hand, and looked ahead, but the song seemed to have been haunting in his mind, lingering in his heart Yuzi was in a trance, and a trace of doubt flashed in his green eyes.

"Brother Long, there is a hat alley in front of you. If you are still in a hurry to return to the mansion, I will not keep you and come back to the house another day. Qing Dai saw that she was almost home, and Liáo said to both Liáo and Yuzi.

Yuzi was all nervous, looked at the alley in front of him, smiled and nodded at Qingdai, "Well, go back and rest early!" ”

Qing Dai waved at Yu Zidu and asked the coachman to enter the alley first.

Yuzi watched Qingdai's carriage leave and stood for a moment.

The shì guard next to him reminded softly: "Shizi, let's hurry back to the house!" ”

Yuzi shook his head, shouted "drive" and whipped the horse and left.

Qing Dai returned to the Spring Courtyard and changed her clothes, so she went to Xiao Feng's place to say goodbye.

"I didn't expect it to rain heavily when I came out of the temple, Fanghua suffered from the cold and burned badly, so I stayed with my sister-in-law." Qing Dai took out the jade talisman she got from Zeng's family, "This is the jade talisman that I asked for from the host of Tanzhe Temple for the third brother." ”

Although Xiao Feng was dissatisfied with Qing Dai's delay in returning, when she saw the jade talisman she would ask for from Tanzhe Temple, her face immediately eased a lot, "The third girl has a heart, I thank you for Brother Xu." ”

"I'm older than Brother Xu, and I should care about my brother."

"The old lady hasn't seen you for the past few days, and she remembers it in her heart. The wife of Ma Shilang of the Ministry of Industry will come to the house as a guest later, so I won't keep you, you can go to Rongxi Hall to see your grandmother! ”

Qing Dai went out of Ji Yaju and met Cui Zhu from the inverted room at the door.

Cuizhu came up and saluted, "Three girls." ”

Qingdai nodded, "I just came back today, I will see my grandmother later, and I will go to see the second sister in the courtyard." ”

Cuizhu's eyes flashed, "The third girl didn't know, it rained two days ago, and my girl was blowing the wind outside, I didn't care about it at the time, I didn't think that I had a cold last night and had a fever." Just now I came over to ask my wife to find a doctor, and I came to Sister Xinxiang to get some things here. Third girl, you have worked hard all the way, it is better to rest first, and wait for the doctor to diagnose and go tomorrow, so as not to get sick. ”

"In that case, then please ask Sister Cuizhu to bring a message to the second sister for me, let her have a good rest, and I will go again tomorrow."

Qing Dai went to Rongxi Hall to meet the old lady, the grandparents and grandchildren talked for a while, and Qing Dai returned to the Spring Courtyard.

Before the ass was hot, Qingwei came.

"Third sister, you're back. It rained two days ago, and I was worried that you were stuck in the mountains. ”

Qingdai asked Qingwei to sit down, "When it rained, I happened to be on the way back to Zhuangzi, and Fanghua was cold and feverish at night, so I stayed in Zhuangzi for two more days to help my sister-in-law take care of Fanghua." I asked for a jade talisman for you in the temple in front of my head, and it was the master who opened it and put it on to drive away evil spirits and keep you safe. ”

Qingwei accepted it with a smile, "It's still the third sister who is the most intimate." Are you going to ask for me? ”

"There is also a third brother, who was told by my mother before I went."

Qingwei pursed her lips and played with the jade talisman in her hand without speaking.

Qing Dai saw that Qingwei was silent, and said: "I just met Cuizhu in Jiyaju, saying that the second sister was sick and begged my mother to ask for a doctor."

I still want to go to the Wuyuan to see, Cuizhu said that I was afraid of being sick, I thought about going over tomorrow to see, you go with me, right? ”

Qingwei was stunned for a moment, "I was fine yesterday, why am I sick today?" ”

Qingdai shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't pay attention to the wind blowing in front of my head, and I got cold and had a fever last night." ”

"Okay, I'll go over with you tomorrow."

The two talked for a while, and Rongxi Tang sent Mei Fang to invite Qingdai and Qingwei over.

Not an hour after Qing Dai came back from Rongxi Hall, she let her go over again at this time, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister Mei Fang, do you know why?" ”

"It's Mrs. Shì Lang who is here and wants to meet the girls."
