Knowing the news of the Yan clan school holiday in Yuqing Hall from September 18 to 20, Yan Hao and Yan Shaoqing were overjoyed, they were originally worried that Yan Shifang would not give them a holiday if Zeng Yu was here, but now they heard that there were three days off, which was a lost gain, and they were satisfied, Yan Shaoqing did not have dinner in the Qishan Hall, and after school, he took a sedan chair to Jichangyuan, and his mother Cao was there;

Yan Shaoting was taught a lesson by his uncle yesterday, he was aggrieved in his heart, he held a grudge against Zeng Yu, thinking that he would give Zeng Yu a little color after serving as the deputy of Jinyi Wei in the next year, but he had a grudge but couldn't report it, it was really unhappy, I heard that there was a three-day vacation, he couldn't be happy, his father Yan Shifan didn't take him to Beijing, but he took Ying Laoer, Sun Widow, and Wu Mazi with him, it's really annoying, now Jichangyuan is respected by Cao's family, he doesn't want to go to Jichangyuan, but there is no other place to go to such a small place, boring, That night, I thought about it, I thought about it, and I wrote a letter to my uncle Liu Zhen, his mother Liu was the daughter of Liu Ke, Marquis of Anyuan, and his grandfather Liu Ke died a year before he was born, Liu Zhen's eldest son Liu Zhen attacked the lord, Liu Zhen is now the general soldier of Huguang, in charge of the governor's office affairs of the right army in Nanjing, stationed in Nanjing, Yan Shaoting wrote a letter to his uncle Liu Zhen saying that he missed his grandmother and wanted to visit Nanjing, and asked his uncle to send someone to pick him up -

Early in the morning of the 18th, Yan Shifang took an old servant to Yichun, Yan Shifang just left, Yan Shaoting took a steward and Yan Erhu, Shan Ho two healthy servants out of the door, and met Zeng Yu when he got into the carriage in front of the door, Zeng Yu asked him where to go?

Yan Shaoting said proudly: "I'm going to see Xu Zhixian, is Mr. Zeng going with me?" ”

Zeng Yu dutifully said: "Shaoting Gongzi went early and returned early, under the entrustment of Mr. Fang Tang, it is a matter of loyalty, I am an outsider, and there is no conflict of interest with Shaoting Gongzi, but some small discord, Shaoting Gongzi will understand after more experience, and he will see people's hearts over time - okay, you go and take care of Shaoting Gongzi." The last sentence was addressed to the steward and the two servants.

Watching Yan Shaoting's carriage pass under the big camphor tree, Zeng Yu shook his head, he didn't have much ill feeling for this young official for the third generation, but he had some sympathy, with Yan Shaoting's arrogant temperament, it was difficult to withstand the upcoming big setback, Yan Shaoqing should be better, but these were not things that he should consider in Jiuli, he just wanted to live his own small life, now that Yan Shifan has left Fenyi, he should think of a way out, but how to help Lu Miaoxiang and Infant Zi get out of trouble makes him difficult, Lu Miaoxiang has no siblings, no one can run to, his uncle Lu Yuan is unreliable, and the plan will be released?

Zeng Yu felt that he needed to discuss this matter with Lu Miaoxiang, listen to her thoughts, and believe that there would be a way, and there would be a way before the car reached the mountain.

In the morning, Zeng Yu stayed in the library of the mountain hall to enjoy the calligraphy and painting antiques, these days immersed in Yan Shifan's collection of calligraphy and painting, Zeng Yu felt that his eyes were opened, the appreciation level of calligraphy and painting antiques greatly improved a few steps, indulged in it and almost forgot to sleep and eat, all the servants came upstairs to invite him to eat before he felt hungry, in the face of these collections, Zeng Yu wanted to stay in Fenyi for more time, these treasures do not know where they will be scattered in the future, it is a pity

In the afternoon, Zeng Yu went out of the village alone, the autumn sun was shining, the heat was a little abnormal, I expected that it would be cold and rainy again in two days, and I watched the flowing water at the small stone bridge at the entrance of the village for a while, and then stepped back to the mountain hall, and went to the horse shed to take out the Mongolian horse named "Black Bean", which is now owned by him-

Zeng Yu said to the Yan family servant that he wanted to go to the county seat to buy some daily necessities, so he rode a big black horse out of the village and galloped eastward, first rode into Maple Bay, until he reached the single-plank bridge, and said: "Mrs. Lu, Miss Yingzi-"

The girl quickly ran over, stood by the stream and looked at Zeng Yu riding a horse, her eyes flowed, and she said happily: "Does Mr. Zeng know how to ride a horse, where is Mr. Zeng going?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "I went to the county seat to buy some things, I don't know if Mrs. Lu and Miss Yingzi need me to bring them?" ”

Ying Zi said: "Mr. Zeng, wait a minute, I'll ask my mother." ”

Through the branches and leaves of the maple tree, Zeng Yu saw Lu Miaoxiang standing by the chaimen, with a wide robe and big sleeves, tall and quiet, and running over to her with a light baby posture to say something to her, and after a while, he ran to the stream and replied: "Mr. Zeng, my mother asked you to buy a teapot and a pen wash." ”

Zeng Yuying said: "Okay, I'll go now and come back in the evening." He waved his hand to the baby, glanced at Lu Miaoxiang from afar, took the horse's head out of Maple Bay, trotted all the way, took half an hour for twenty miles, entered Fenyi County from the north gate, led the horse on foot, and found a shoe shop to buy himself a pair of yellow short tartar boots and a pair of large clogs, short tartar boots are warmer and more convenient, and clogs can be put on the outside of leather boots in rain and snow, and the clogs are not afraid of mud, and they can also be non-slip-

When buying a teapot and a pen wash in the porcelain shop, I saw that a gall bottle from a brother kiln was quite finely made, and after bargaining, Zeng Yu bought this gall bottle for six cents of silver, and the purple sand beam pot and the sunflower pen wash of the brother kiln were five cents of silver, Zeng Yu asked the shop guys to use straw and straw paper to wrap the teapot, gall bottle and pen wash, so that they would not break each other when they were put together.

Out of the porcelain shop, Zeng Yu hung the bought items on the saddle, led the horse through the street, since he came, he walked around, this is not as prosperous as Yongfeng County, Yongfeng is narrow, there are many people in Yongfeng, there are many people in Yongfeng, there are many paper merchants and tea customers, and the land is more flat than Yongfeng, the people are still mainly farming, and the folk customs are more simple -

is walking, suddenly saw a group of people around the door of a house, Zeng Yu listened to the crowd outside the crowd for a while, roughly listened to a clear understanding, this family is one of the few rich households, there are more than 1,000 acres of fertile land, the owner is stingy, the most fond of hoarding, weekday thrift, the servant tenants are also very mean, life only one preference, is superstitious Danshu, every day in addition to operating acres is alchemy and burning silver, delusional to smelt stones into gold and silver, this rich family has a family in Nanchang, a while ago the rich family came back from visiting relatives in Nanchang, He brought back a Danke who was rumored to be able to turn stones into gold, and the rich man was a guest, and used five hundred taels of silver as the mother silver, and smelted with lead and mercury every day, according to the Danke, five hundred taels of mother silver could be refined into five thousand taels of silver, and the rich man thought that the great wealth was just around the corner, but yesterday the Danke rolled up five hundred taels of mother silver and fled, and the rich husband and wife complained to each other, so that they quarreled, and the woman was going to seek death and life, and the house was in chaos, and the neighbors were watching the excitement and laughing -

When Zeng Yu heard this, he couldn't help but think of his sister Zeng Ruolan's father-in-law Zhu Jurong, Zhu Jurong was deceived by a traveling Taoist priest who burned silver to deceive three hundred taels of silver, and he got paralysis in a fit of anger, Zeng Yu thought: "This liar may be the same person, if this rich family and my sister's father-in-law Zhu Jurong are not greedy for money, the liar will have no gap, and the family wealth that he has accumulated so hard will be so easily given to the liar to enjoy, and it will not help to shout the wrongful accusation, and he will not be caught at all." ”

At this time, a small sedan chair with blue curtains stopped beside Zeng Yu, and the woman in the sedan chair lifted the curtain and called: "Zeng Xiucai——

Zeng Yu looked back and saw that it was Yan Shifan's concubine Pei Lin, this beautiful woman was fair-skinned and plump, very beautiful, this appearance immediately attracted the people who watched the excitement, everyone watched, Pei Lin was not shy, she took care of herself and teased the curtain to Zeng Yu and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is Zeng Xiucai, is Zeng Xiucai still used to living in Jieqiao Village?" ”

Zeng Yu nodded to Pei Lin and said, "It's still good to live, Pei Niangzi has always been good?" Xiaosheng is about to rush back to the village and say goodbye. "Lead the horse and go.

Pei Lin urged the sedan chair man to catch up and said, "Why did Zeng Xiucai hurry back to the village, why not rest in the garden for the night, isn't the eldest son of Shaoqing in the garden." ”

Zeng Yu thought that when he and Sixi were bathing in the mountain spring pool behind Jichang Garden that day, Pei Lin and Yan Shifan's other three beautiful concubines hid their clothes and blankets and laughed in every way, if it weren't for Ying Zi and Lu Miao wanting to break the siege, the scene would be really difficult to clean up, Yan Shifan's concubines were like wolves and tigers, and they couldn't be provoked, and said: "It will only take half an hour to ride back to the village." Turned over and got on the horse, and was about to urge the horse to leave, but he heard Pei Lin ask: "Didn't Zeng Xiucai propose to the master of the East Building?" ”

Zeng Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What did Pei Niangzi say?" ”

Pei Lin smiled and said: "It seems that the slave family did not guess wrong, Zeng Xiucai is here for the baby, if he can marry the baby, then Zeng Xiucai is the fast son-in-law of the old mansion, and the prosperity is just around the corner, hehe, Zeng Xiucai has a good calculation." ”

Zeng Yu said coldly: "Pei Niangzi should not talk nonsense, harm others and yourself." ”

Pei Lin didn't care about Zeng Yu's sinking face, and still smiled: "Zeng Xiucai, don't be shy, you are unmarried and unmarried, there is nothing to scruple about, you have a life-saving grace in the slave family, and the slave family can help you - hey, Zeng Xiucai, don't go." ”

Zeng Yu destroyed the big black horse under his crotch, threw the small sedan chair with blue curtains behind, and thought: "I can't get out of being entangled by this woman, and said that I can help me marry a baby, obviously she is open-mouthed, what is she capable of, she just wants to hook up with me, hehe, and said that she wants to arrest me to be the princess of the village, like a female robber, these concubines of Yan Shifan are really cowardly." ”

Out of the east gate, around the city to the north, see the roadside there are selling cold skin, Zeng Yu got off the horse and ate a bowl of cold skin, this kind of cold skin is a good special snack, that is, gluten slices, starch cut strips, accompanied by vinegar, spicy seeds and garlic, the taste is quite good.

When he got on the horse, he saw that the sky had changed, the wind was surging, and it was going to rain, Zeng Yu urged the horse to go fast, and he was still far away from Maple Bay, so he left the road, and went up along the Jiexi River, and just entered the maple forest, he heard the "rustle" sound of the leaves, and the rain fell, and when he ran to the single-plank bridge, the heavy rain was pouring down, and the stream was hit out of a dense water nest-

The girl Yingzi heard the movement, came out with an umbrella to look, and saw Zeng Yu who was dismounting by the bridge, and greeted him in surprise, while greeting: "Mr. Zeng, come quickly, come and shelter from the rain." ”
