Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 256

Two quarters of an hour later, as the sun gradually rose, another wave of pilgrims welcomed in front of the cold Earth Temple, and the official road became lively.

After drinking the thirsty water from Wenshu, the old woman kept muttering in her heart, saying that the good medicine tastes bitter, but the "medicine" brought by the young lady was sweet and refreshing, like well water in dog days , will this work?
However, when I thought about what Wen Shu said before, no fee would be charged if it was invalid, the anxiety in my heart disappeared again.

Whatever it is, the money won't be wasted anyway, the old woman left the tea shop with anticipation and apprehension.

Not long after they left, Fourth Miss Chu came. She was still in a hurry, and before she arrived, her voice came first, "Sister-in-law Zhao, here are two cups of tea soup and a plate of fried cherries, huh? Wen Shu is here too?"

"Well, I came here when I have nothing to do, where is Third Aunt?"

"I'm offering incense outside." The Fourth Miss Chu looked at Wen Shu expectantly, "Did the Landlord entrust you with a dream recently? Can my third aunt be happy?"

Wen Shu shook his head regretfully.

"Hey." Chu Hong sighed, resting his chin and said: "We will go back in a month or so. This trip to Beijing, the third aunt has great expectations. If you return without success in the end..."

Wen Shu understands the loss. Aunt Chu comes here to offer incense every day, and she never neglects it, because it shows her determination to have a son.She really wanted to help her realize this dream, but luck has been really bad recently, and she never found the right place.

If you want to rely on this way of hitting the big luck, the chances of bumping into those mountains are too small, after all, there are too many mountains in the book of mountains and seas.

The only reliable way is to upgrade the system level as soon as possible, to level four as soon as possible. Only by turning on fixed-point teleportation can you be safe.

It's just that they will be leaving next month. In a month's time, how can she collect enough points to upgrade again.

"I'm leaving in another month. You promised me a tour of the capital, when will it be over?" After feeling the difficulty of her third aunt, Miss Chu quickly expressed her wish again.

Wen Shu really wanted to say right away, but when she thought about it, she still had a poetry meeting to attend tomorrow, so she said, "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will play with you for a day."

"Why is it the day after tomorrow? Can't tomorrow?"

"I have something to do tomorrow." Wen Shu told Miss Lu about her invitation to the poetry meeting, and Chu Hong's eyes widened immediately, "What a coincidence!"

Wen Shu looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"This morning, my cousin also said that she would take me to some poetry meeting. She said that Princess Wei Guochang would take the lead, and it would be in some West Garden."

"That's really a coincidence. We are going to this place. Now that the fourth girl is also going, it will be even more lively."

"I refused." Chu Hong took a sip of the tea soup and said, "A group of Yingyingyanyans gathered together to gossip and talk about people's right and wrong. What's the fun? It's better to come to the suburbs for a jog. But..." She suddenly said Turn, "Now, I have changed my mind."

"Huh?" Wen Shu looked at her, expressing doubts.

Chu Hong put down the teacup, gloating, "It's rare to see Lu Xingwan's jokes, this opportunity should not be missed."

"A joke?" Wen Shu was even more puzzled.

What jokes can Miss Lu have?The daughter of the Hou Mansion, the sweet girl of heaven, even if there is something wrong, no one would dare to offend her in person, right?
Hearing her doubts, Chu Hong explained kindly, "You don't know about her divorce, do you?"

"Retirement, when did it happen?"

"It was the time when you disappeared, probably in the middle of the month. The other party was the third son of Anpingbo Mansion. It is said that he has a talent for poetry. I don't know if he will participate in this poetry meeting. If he also goes," Chu Hong laughed. Playful, with an expression that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

Mr. Duan San?Why does it sound familiar?

"Why do you want to withdraw?"

"I heard that Mr. Duan San was caught as a prostitute in public."

"Ah, this"

"It's unbelievable." Chu Hong smiled and said, "I heard that many people saw it at the time, and the official family was there. If it weren't for this, the relationship would not have been so easy to leave."

"No no."

She didn't find it strange, but suddenly remembered the words Duan Sangongzi. Where did she hear it? Outside Jinmingchi's Begonia Garden, she overheard Mr. Lu "conspiring" with someone, and Duan San was mentioned in the words. son.

Could it be that Mr. Duan San?

The time, place, characters, and events are all right, so it should be right.

However, judging from what she eavesdropped that day, it seems that this matter has something to do with Mr. Lu, and the Third Young Master Duan may have "grievances" on him.

But why did Mr. Lu do this?

The final result of this matter was to withdraw the marriage. Weiyuanhou's Mansion resigned from Anpingbo's Mansion. Could this be Master Lu's original intention? Master Lu didn't want his younger sister to marry him, so he specially designed Duan Sangongzi.

But if you didn't agree to the marriage at the beginning, why did you have to settle it again? Or is it because the third son Duan did something out of line later and angered Mr. Lu, that's why he made this move today?
While his thoughts were flying, Wen Shu suddenly remembered what happened in Cangzhou.
Could it be! If the guess is correct, it is indeed no wonder Mr. Lu.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Wen Shu remained silent for a long time, Chu Hong kicked her lightly with his foot under the table.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just came up with such a thing, and that Mr. Duan San should not participate."

"That's not necessarily true." Chu Hong disagreed, "Cousin said, Princess Wei Guochang also sent a post to Uncle Anping's mansion, and the third and fourth girls in his family are of marriageable age, and they have already confirmed that they will go. The third son of the rank will probably go as well."

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be then?"

"So, it's fun to watch."

Seeing her schadenfreude, Wen Shu couldn't help shaking his head: "At this juncture, isn't it a bit unkind for you to watch the excitement like this?"

Chu Hong raised his head, "Hmph, what kindness can I have with Lu Xingwan? She said that about my big sister at the beginning, and then pretended to be sympathetic, and made me kneel in the ancestral hall for two days. I didn't laugh at her face to face. It's kind."

Lu Xingwan, who was mean, let her know what it means to be cruel this time. With her temperament, she might not be able to hear a few words, so she would have to cover her handkerchief and cry home.

"Didn't you go back to the Hou's mansion last time? I thought you had settled down." Wen Shu poured her a cup of tea.

"That's not because of you. If it wasn't for saving you, I wouldn't even enter the gate of her Weiyuanhou Mansion."

"Yes, yes, as a thank you, I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

The two laughed and quarreled for a while, and when Mrs. Chu Guo finished offering the incense and came in, and drank a cup of "Bright Eyes and Thirst Water", they went back to the city with their car.

After lunch, Wen Shu changed his clothes, packed his books and went to the private school.Because she finished her homework ahead of schedule, it was the next afternoon, so she had no burden to attend.

After class, I went to Mr. Li's bookstore to borrow the Classic of Mountains and Seas as usual.A few months have passed, and the thick book of Mountains and Seas is almost at the end, and there are only a dozen or so pages left to read it all.

After reading the last few pages, Wen Shu closed the pages, feeling a sense of accomplishment but also some disappointment.

Finally finished watching.
