Acacia (27)

When Zi Ying came over with the basket on her shoulder, she also quickly saw Su Peiying.

She thought she had seen it wrong, so she glanced at it twice before she quickened her pace and walked over: "Childe! ”

Su Peiying nodded, hooked the corners of her lips, and pointed to the side chair for her to sit: "On such a cold day, please have a cup of hot tea." ”

Zi Ying thanked him generously, sat down and said, "I still don't want to come over when I think of a snow boy like this, I just want to go back early, and I don't want you to come." ”

It happened that the shopkeeper personally brought the tea, and Su Peiying poured a cup and pushed it to her, "Do you live nearby?" ”

"I used to live nearby, but I moved last month." Zi Ying nodded in thanks and held the tea.

The tea is a fragrant dragon well, which is ironed to the heart and lungs when it enters the nose. She took a sip, feeling warmer.

Qianzhou is not a big city, she and her father live in a peaceful town, there are plums in front of them and bamboo in the back, although the conditions are limited, but they have also learned a little elegance.

Moving means turmoil, Su Peiying glanced at her.

Originally, I felt that I didn't have to talk deeply, but now that we can sit together and drink tea, maybe he won't be too abrupt if he asks a few more questions?

"Where do you live?" He asked.

"The bamboo fence lane on the left of the Jinghua Temple."

"So far?" Su Peiying was indeed surprised. He stared: "You just want to wait for me, so you run so far every day?" ”

Zi Ying smiled: "It's nothing, except for waiting for the son, I am still selling needles and threads." ”

Su Peiying didn't expect her to be so promised, and her mood was a little complicated for a while.

If she lives nearby, it doesn't matter, the key is that the Jinghua Temple is almost half a city away from here, and this ice and snow come day by day, if it is not to fulfill the covenant of the day, can it really be to sell needlework in this teahouse?

"It's my fault." He said apologetically.

Since he didn't plan to have anything to do with her from the beginning, he didn't take his agreement with her seriously.

A tael of silver is really nothing to him, so even if she doesn't appear again, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with her character at all, who would have thought that she would really take this matter to heart?

He said: "I don't look like you're from a poor family, I don't know what happened, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

Zi Ying's eyes fell on her brocade shirt, and she muttered without speaking.

Don't say that she won't easily ask people for help, just say that she doesn't even know who he is, how can she know if he is convenient?

Su Peiying saw it and said, "My surname is Su, and I served as a minor official in the Zhan Mansion. Then he asked, "Do you know anything about Zhan Shifu?" ”

Zi Ying's expression was messy for a moment, and she immediately straightened her waist: "I know, it's the yamen of the East Palace, and I heard that the ministers in the Zhan Mansion are all the right-hand men of His Royal Highness the Prince." I didn't expect youβ€”"

She never expected that he would serve in the Zhan Mansion, not all the officials of the Zhan Mansion in the past dynasties were admirable, but because of the situation in this dynasty, the power position of the East Palace is very stable, so that the ministers in the Zhan Mansion have also made many achievements.

It is definitely not easy for him to enter the Zhan Mansion at such a young age!

"Let's call me Mr. Su." Su Peiying said, "I missed the appointment for so long, and I don't want to go. If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me, and I will apologize to you. ”

Regardless, he felt that she deserved respect.

Zi Ying saw that he was so serious, thought for a while, and said, "I don't have to." But I have a friend who has a difficult matter, if it is convenient for Childe, can you please help with this? ”

"You say."

"My friend's surname is Gu, she is from Tanzhou, and she went to Beijing to find his cousin Song Mingyuan. Song Mingyuan is a native of Duanzhou, Lingnan, and the candidates in the spring of last year are said to have won the same jinshi, but they asked people to enter the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites to check but to no avail.

"This friend of mine has a bit of a rough life, and now he is dependent on each other when he meets me in Pingshui, if Gongzi can help find Gongzi Song, Ziying is grateful."

Her own difficulty lies in Tan Zishao, but she has moved to avoid him, and she has made it very clear that there is nothing for him to help when she returns to the back bridge.

Besides, Tan Zishao is a Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, and he will enter an important position after the museum is disbanded, and he has climbed to the Zuo family, of course she will not want Su Peiying to go to this troubled water.

Su Peiying wrote it down, nodded, and asked her again: "Don't you live with your family now?" ”

Zi Ying held the cup and exhaled lightly: "I only have one younger brother, and now we live with this Gu girl." ”

"Then why did you enter Beijing?" Su Peiying couldn't bear to be curious after all.

Zi Ying groaned, and had no choice but to say: "When my father was alive, I had a verbal marriage contract with his students, and last year he went to Beijing to take the exam, won the Jinshi, and also became a Beijing official, but it turned out toβ€”β€”"

"Sister Ziying!" Just as he was saying this, the young man who suddenly broke in at this time outside the door came over in a hurry, and said to her breathlessly: "That Chen Shimei came to Liusi Hutong again just now, and he is still looking for you!"

"I was holding Aunt Wu there just now, always saying that she knew your whereabouts, and finally left because she really didn't know him! You have to be careful! ”

Lin Ziying clenched her fist, and her lower lip was almost bitten by her!

"Why does he still have the face to come to you? That bastard! Abu was furious.

Su Peiying glanced at him and frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

Abu opened his mouth to say, but was interrupted by Ziying: "Thank you Abu, I know, you go back first." ”

Abu had no choice but to go back first.

Su Peiying walked around the palace and the yamen all day long, and she had some insight, and her complexion became solemn when she saw this: "The 'Chen Shimei' in his mouth is your fiancΓ©?" ”

Zi Ying didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and gritted her teeth: "It's not anymore." He did not recognize the marriage, and there was another marriage contract. I just don't want to admit it! ”

"Then why did he look for you?"

Zi Ying's chest rose and fell, and finally he couldn't be calm anymore: "Because he's afraid that I will hinder his future!" He was afraid that after I stayed, he would expose his shameless side, so he tried to drive me back to Qianzhou! ”

Su Peiying became serious: "Who is he?" In which yamen? ”

Zi Ying sighed: "He is Tan Zishao of the Hanlin Academy, and he is also the quasi-son-in-law of Zuo Sheng, the squire of the military department, who only made a ceremony with Miss Zuo not long ago. ”

Su Peiying sat there and was suddenly speechless.

It's actually Tan Zishao!

"Childe, I can't stay for a long time, so I'll leave first. Which teahouse do you frequent? Why don't you tell me, I might not be here in the future. ”

Zi Ying felt that Tan Zishao was already a little frustrated, Abu found this place just now, so maybe he could really find this place, she didn't want to provoke him again!

Su Peiying stood up: "What you just said is true?" ”
