Du Tinglan looked out the window and it was getting late. Hongnu had been there for more than half an hour, but why didn't he come back?

I don’t know if this maid saw Lu Zhaoan, and the Jinshi Banquet was about to start. If you drag it down, let alone confront Lu Zhaoan in person, you would even have delusions when you see him.

When Du Tinglan thought of Lu Zhaoan, he felt sad as if he had been fed. He avoided him for the past half month, which made her sick. Even if he wanted to betray the oath, he would always explain it to her in person.

She couldn't wait any longer. She got up and looked around quietly. Her mother watched a hundred operas in the Xiyuan Opera. Most of the female relatives went to the garden to enjoy the flowers, and there was no one around. This was a good time for Li'an.

She bit her lip and was about to put down the embroidered scissors in her hand when laughter suddenly came from the corridor.

"This year, the Mingjing Department won more than 100 people, but only twenty people were in Jinshi Department. They were not young, and most of them were married. The oldest one was over fifty years old, and all their children were older than Awan." A wife said.

"That's it." Another lady chuckled, "I didn't expect that the Wang family would hit the old man in order to take advantage of her daughter's husband."

"Actually, it's not that the Wang family is so concerned about this year. You were in Dongdu for the first few days. I don't know that the top student in the Jinshi exam this time was a young man in his early twenties. His name is Lu Zhaoan. Not only did he do good poetry and essays, but he was also beautiful. Not only did the Wang family want to marry, but many famous princes and ministers are asking about this Lu Jinshi."

Through the half-rolled bead curtain, the three words "Lu Zhao'an" were extremely harsh. Du Tinglan felt aroused a surging wave in her heart, and she forgot that she was still holding the embroidered scissors in her hand.

"But last night, I heard from my Erlang that Zheng Pushe from the Shangshu Province that day that the date of publication, he heard that Lu Zhaoan was from Yangzhou, so he had already called him to ask questions. From the ancestors of the Lu family to the fact that his relatives and relatives were related, he had the intention to betroth his daughter to him. If Mr. Lu was not married in Yangzhou, Zheng Pushe would probably want to marry him."

This statement was obviously quite surprising. Another wife said: "Mr. Lu became famous in one fell swoop. The Zheng family in Xingyang is a century-old noble family. It is a good marriage. Since the prime minister asked himself, how did Mr. Lu respond?"

"Mr. Lu said that he lost his father when he was young. In order to revive the family, he only studied hard day and night for years and never married."

The blood on Du Tinglan's face instantly faded away. It was one thing, but it was another thing when she heard it with her own ears. In just a few months, this person wrote off her.

The oath of the bright sun is still in my ears. The more she was so sarcastic that she was so sarcastic that she was so sarcastic that she was now.

The pearl curtain was roaring, and someone was about to come in. Du Tinglan held his arm and was about to get up. The palm suddenly felt wet and hot. She lowered her head and found that a cut was cut by a scissor, and blood beads were gushing out, which was so red that it was shockingly red.

She looked at the blurred red in despair, and now she only regretted why she had to go out for a walk outside Yangzhou City without her own permission. If there was no such accidental encounter in the peach blossom forest, how could she have been humiliated today!

"Madam!" The wound was pressed tightly with a handkerchief. Du Tinglan looked up mutely and saw Hongnu looking at her in panic. She just hoped that the maid would bring the words to Lu Zhaoan. Now she was about to disgust when she remembered that person.

Hongnu hurriedly examined the wound, took out something and whispered: "Young Master Lu asked Nu to bring this to his wife, saying that he wanted her to go to the bamboo forest outside the Yuedeng Pavilion to see him."

Du Tinglan sneered, snatching Caisheng and tearing him apart, but his fingers trembled, and he didn't tear it, but instead broke the wound on his palm again.

***

Teng Yuyi lifted the curtain and stepped into the house, and said in surprise: "Hey, isn't my cousin here?"

The little shamani was also surprised. Just now, the noble ladies went to the Xiyuan Opera Hall to watch a hundred operas. The young lady of the Du family voluntarily stayed to cut the ribbon. There were a few cut gold foil pieces on the table, but the person disappeared.

But this is also common. Today is Shangsi Festival. People go out to the city to hang out. Because they are adjacent to Qujiangchi, they are surrounded by cars and horses in the morning. The temple is so big that they can take care of them everywhere.

"I don't know where Du Tanyue has been, but the Hu people have started to play a hundred plays ahead. It's not known that Du Tanyue has gone to the theater. Teng Tanyue, can I ask Nuyue to lead you?"

The little shamani looked at Teng Yuyi, wearing a mili on her head and a bright jade wrist under the soap gauze. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her charming style seemed to be a beauty. Today, there were so many ladies in the temple. It is rare to see such outstanding people. I heard that Du Tanyue was a cousin of two aunts, and I didn't know what urgent things happened. As soon as I entered the temple, I came to see the Du family.

Teng Yuyi smiled and said, "No need, my cousin doesn't like watching a hundred operas. Maybe he enjoys flowers in the garden. Master, please stay and I'll go find her."

After walking two steps, Teng Yuyi suddenly turned around and pointed at the case: "Master, did these Caishengs be cut by my cousin?"

Xiao Shamini was stunned: "Yes."

"I happened to go find my cousin. Can the little master let me take these Caisheng away?"

It was just a pastime thing, not to mention that the gold foil and jade flakes from the nunnery were not used. Xiao Shamini hurriedly said, "Please."

At this time, another little shaman came over: "The saint wants to see the Great Viagra. There is no curfew in Chang'an City tonight. The Yuedeng Pavilion by the river will hold a Jinshi banquet. The abbot asked the girl to watch out for it and not to go to the vicinity of the Yuedeng Pavilion."

The little shamani listened respectfully, no wonder there were many young men with silver saddles and white horses passing by the gate of the temple just now. It turned out that they came for the annual Jinshi banquet.

"Disciple knows." He turned around and found that Teng Yuyi had already won the Haocaisheng and left.

Teng Yuyi walked while looking at the moonlight pavilion not far away. The red green tiles were hidden in the thin twilight, and a glittering glass lamp was lit under the eaves.

In his previous life, cousin Du died on the night of Shangsi Festival. The maid Hongnu was also injured. He was originally worshipping Buddha with his aunt in Jingfu Temple, but somehow he left the temple privately. When they were found, a master and a servant were corpse in the bamboo forest not far from Yuedeng Pavilion.

When Teng Yuyi was in Yangzhou when something happened, he knew that his cousin died strangely.

My cousin has always been filial and steady, and even if she doesn’t like the excitement, she will serve her aunt. Why did my aunt go to Xiyuan to watch hundreds of operas? My cousin stays in the secluded Yuncheng Hall?

These lottery wins are even more inexplicable. Today is not a "people's day". Why did my cousin think of cutting this? If my cousin intends to arrange the opportunity to be alone, who is the ribbon win to convey the message to?

Teng Yuyi quickly flipped through the gold foil in his hand, and after a while, he couldn't find a word. He was not surprised. Although his cousin was weak in nature, he was fine and stitched in his work. After searching for so long in his previous life, his uncle and aunt were still unable to find out who the person who led his cousin to the outside of the temple was.

Thinking of the tragic situation after her cousin was strangled to death, Teng Yuyi looked up at the sky with resentment. It was getting late, so she wanted to go to find her cousin with her aunt, but she was afraid it would be too late.

"Bi Luo, you and Qing Guisu go to find Aunt Xiyuan. I will take Bai Zhi to the bamboo forest outside the temple. If my cousin and I haven't returned when my aunt comes, let her take people to the bamboo forest outside the Yuedeng Pavilion to find us. Remember to be quick."

Biluo and Qinggui responded, and Teng Yuyi touched the greeting post in her sleeve. Fortunately, she made complete preparations before coming.

The entrance of the temple was much quieter than before. All tourists flocked to the Xiyuan next door to watch the performance. On the high stage, Brahmin Hu Zheng performed illusions. As the music changed, the Hu girl of Kang Guo twisted her waist and danced the enchanting Zhezhi dance.

The sound of gold, stone, silk and bamboo came into my ears. Teng Yuyi sat in the calf cart and lifted the window curtain to look out. It was Shangsi Festival, not to mention that there was no curfew. Needless to say, the common people came here to have fun.

Walking along the waterside towards the moonlight pavilion, you can see luxuriously decorated young men and beauties everywhere.

Teng Yuyi and Bai Zhi looked around and failed to find Du Tinglan in the crowd.

Halfway through the way, the calf cart suddenly stopped, and a slave named Duan Fu stopped him: "There are too many pedestrians here. The villain asked him about it. The only one who had seen the wife of the Du family was a vendor selling porridge. This man said that Mrs. Du took his maid to the southeast of the river bank."

Teng Yuyi looked in the direction and it was the bamboo forest. She hurriedly said to Duan Fu: "Follow the car."

It was getting late, and something happened often only in a moment, and the coachman raised his whip and speeded up the train.

It was the largest bamboo forest in Chang'an City, which stretched hundreds of meters in front and behind. If a person was in it, he would easily be lost. Therefore, the man in his previous life killed his cousin and Hongnu in the forest and left quietly.

When Teng Yuyi arrived in Chang'an in his previous life, Du Tinglan had already entered the coffin. When she cried and helped her aunt sort out the relics, she realized that her cousin was wearing a tulip dress on the day of the accident, which was the birthday gift she gave to her cousin.

The skirt costs a lot of money and is sewn by Yangzhou embroiderer with stitches and threads. The color is like warm gold and luxurious as clouds and rainbows. Even if it is as prosperous as Chang'an, it is not common.

Today she came prepared. The first thing she did when she arrived at Jingfu Temple was to send Duanfu to look for her cousin outside. Using the tulip skirt as a clue, she soon found out about her whereabouts.

The bamboo forest is not far away, and the fewer people walk forward.

***

Teng Yuyi took something out of her arms with a calm face, and the maid Bai Zhi sighed worriedly from the side.

A few days ago, on the way from Yangzhou to Chang'an, the young lady accidentally fell into the water and fell seriously ill. When she woke up, she started playing with this strange sword.

It was a small jade sword, which was green all over and about one foot long. I don’t know where the lady got it. I have been taking it out to play with it these days. It was a bit strange to her. The sword is the most tough and tough thing in the world. How could it be to use jade as a sword?

Moreover, since the death of his wife, the young lady never fiddled with the weapons in the mansion. As the daughter of a famous general, she was even more timid than the daughter of a Confucian official. This time, the wife had just started to Jingfu Temple as soon as she got off the boat, and she hid the little jade sword in her sleeve.

Bai Zhi served Teng Yuyi as a young man, knowing that the little master was sweet and had a lot of bad water behind his back. The daughters of aristocratic families who usually interacted with the Teng Mansion had suffered from their wives openly and secretly.

The master has been guarding the border for many years and has no time to discipline his daughter. Seeing that his wife's temperament has become more and more tricky, he has no choice but to send her to Du Mansion in Yangzhou, and her aunt, Mrs. Du, will be in charge of her.

The Du family has a clean and upright family. Mrs. Du treats her wife like a relative of her family. Du Tinglan, the eldest daughter of the Du family, puts her cousin first everywhere.

Over the years, the wife had long regarded her aunt and cousin as close relatives, but her temperament was much awkward than ordinary people and she refused to say it. But when it comes to the people whom the wife cares most about in this world are Mrs. Du and the little lady of the Du family.

Bai Zhi couldn't guess why her master was so anxious, but from the fierceness floating in Teng Yuyi's eyes, it can be seen that if Du Tinglan could not be found, Teng Yuyi would definitely make unexpected and amazing actions.

Bai Zhi looked out the window and was stunned: "Madam, look."

Teng Yuyi put the jade sword into his sleeve, and a calf cart with gold ornaments was parked at the entrance of the bamboo forest.

It seems that not long after we arrived, the servants were busy tents around the bamboo forest. Looking at this extremely wealthy and noble appearance, I am afraid that they are not ordinary nobles.

Bai Zhi showed hesitation, but Teng Yuyi took a self-dress and got out of the car. She saw the servants as if nothing had happened and walked straight towards the bamboo forest.

When the servant saw Teng Yuyi, he immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Little lady, please stay."

Teng Yuyi bowed his face and asked with a smile: "This place is not a forbidden garden, why is it not allowed to pass?"

The servant said, "My son is going to the riverside to attack the siege, so he set up a curtain here. When he leaves the forest, he will naturally let it go."

Bai Zhi's face changed slightly, and her words were extremely domineering. She was so big that she would not let her go if she said she would not let her go.

Teng Yuyi calmed down and nodded and smiled, "A coincidence, I'm going to take a shortcut to the riverside for a banquet."

The servants looked at each other and looked surprised. There were more than one banquet by the river, and all the people attending the banquet were dignitaries. This woman could not tell the story of the light car.

"Since I'm going to the banquet, I'm sure there will be posts."

"Posses?"

At this time, a middle-aged servant who served the comb in front of the calf car said, "In addition to the Jinshi Banquet tonight, Your Majesty will also watch the big turtle in Ziyun Tower. There are many princes and princes accompanying you. The news spreads, attracting many foolish little ladies."

Teng Yuyi looked over and laughed in her heart. It was a grievance from her previous life that she actually met this pair of masters and servants here.

The servant was also looking at Teng Yuyi. She couldn't see her appearance clearly with a mili on her head. However, the servant was very sure that she had never seen such a person in Chang'an before. She always wanted to take a shortcut to the riverside, but she couldn't even get a post. She believed in her identity and didn't want to say serious words, but she chased away many such ignorant women along the way.

The woman added a look of contempt on her face and said to the rich servants: "It's probably for your young master again. This little lady, I'll advise you, his young master is not easy to mess with, so leave as soon as possible to avoid being bored."

These words directly led Teng Yuyi into the form of climbing high and noble people. Bai Zhi's face turned red. This man obviously couldn't afford to the person in the forest to wait here. He should have spoken and spoken together, but he turned around to find their troubles.

"Is that right?" Teng Yuyi sneered, "What if I insist on going in."

She took out something from her sleeve and said to the servants who blocked the road: "It's getting late, please let your master take advantage of it."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly. It was a slight red prayer letter commonly used in the county prince's mansion. The first chapter was Teng Shao, the governor of Huainan and the governor of Yangzhou, and the second chapter was signed by the prince of Chun'an.

They always deal with the Prince Chun'an, and the prince's handwriting can be recognized at a glance.

The Prince Chun'an was the royal family of this dynasty and the cousin of the current emperor. Teng Shao, the governor of Huainan, was a famous general. I heard that when the Prince Chun'an went to Mount Li with His Majesty many years ago, he accidentally encountered a danger and was rescued by Teng Shao.

These two characters are both seniors of their young husband, and even if they meet, they have to dismount and salute.

The servants did not dare to stop the woman, but they still blocked the woman and the calf cart behind her outside the forest.

The middle-aged servant woman was half open, and suddenly she heard someone in the calf car coughing sternly, and the sound was a very young lady.

The woman came back to her senses and quickly changed to apologize to Teng Yuyi with a respectful smile.
Chapter completed!
