Chapter 325: Mystery

Xing smiled and said, "Our family is all idle, so it seems lively. The county mainly doesn't dislike it. When I have time, I come to have tea more often. These girls in our family have never gone far away. I want to hear the princess tell us what she saw outside."

"Yes!" the sisters all agreed, "I always heard people say that the mountains and rivers in the south are good, but unfortunately we can't imagine how good it is. We can only feel it from Zhang Shangshu's paintings on weekdays."

Zhang Yu was good at painting landscapes, and because his ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River, he painted most of the landscapes in the south.

"The mountains and rivers in Lingnan are different from other places. The mountains are unique and rise from the ground..."

Speaking of the scenery, Huo Mingyu opened up. When she returned from the south for more than a year, many people would ask about her experience outside, but it was only a matter of time. It is rare that someone is really curious, so she naturally might as well explain in detail.

On the other hand, the men sat together. After the scene was said, they would inevitably mention Huo Xiu's purpose of returning to Beijing. Huo Xiu did not avoid it, and directly mentioned the current progress. He also expressed his next plan: "I would like to ask the Marquis of Jingnan to help him to check the people who might have targeted his parents in the past. In those years, my mother's struggles in the east and west, and she contacted nothing more than her colleagues and opponents from the previous dynasty. More than 20 years have passed, even if the opponent still exists, it is impossible for him to have another problem."

The military general invited today is Dou Chang from the 13th Battalion of the Gyeonggi. After hearing this, he nodded and said, "Your Highness has been stolen from her relics for many years. If you don't say anything else, this move is no longer a gentleman."

Most of the seats were nodding and echoing. Du Qingyun Hou and Zhang Yu were pondering.

Huo Xiu didn't say much after seeing it. After a while, everyone started to visit the garden and had tea. Huo Xiu walked beside Zhang Yu and said, "Just just now, my nephew saw that Uncle Zhang had never spoken. Is there anything wrong with my nephew's words?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Today, these are people who are intimate with the palace and your Huo family. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that there are so many people on the court. How do you check it? One is that there are many people, and the other is that most of them are your elders. Who do you want to start with?"

"What about Uncle Zhang's opinion?"

"I have no idea. However, your mother is a person who is very willing to be close to others. If she knows, she will definitely not want you to offend others."

Huo Xiu pondered.

There were waves of birds singing in front of him. It turned out that he had already walked to the parrot garden where Qingyun Hou specialized in raising parrots. Everyone was already watching flowers and watching birds. Zhang Yu said, "Let's go, it's rare to get together, let's have fun first."

...

The garden was already lively. Xing and the others invited Mrs. Cheng and other elders to leave at the right time, leaving Yu to arrange a program, so they became more comfortable. Huo Mingyu said more and more, and Zhao Su was willing to create an opportunity to ask Cheng Zhuyun to speak. Seeing that Yu also got up to help organize a luncheon, he glanced at Zhao Ying, who had already agreed. Zhao Ying then said, "It's boring to do it. I'll go and ask me to get more snacks."

There was a shortage of people at the meal, and the atmosphere naturally cooled down. Huo Mingyu lowered his head and held the tea. He was about to praise the tea, but suddenly he heard Zhao Su say, "It's time for osmanthus flowers to bloom again. There are two old osmanthus trees in Xiangguo Temple, and the flowers bloom every year. When we go back and get in the fragrance, we also make an appointment to go to the temple to enjoy the flowers and eat tea."

"Okay." Huo Mingyu said, "I went to the Luo family as a guest. The Luo family's girl Yan also said that she was copying scriptures recently, and she was in Xiangguo Temple. She might be invited to the scene at that time."

Zhao Su hadn’t seen Luo Yanru for a long time. Last time, she met by chance in front of Xiangguo Temple, and said, “When Princess, you come to make an appointment.” After that, she turned her head: “Miss Zhu has been copying scriptures recently, but she was copying Taoist scriptures, not Buddhist scriptures.”

Huo Mingyu looked over after hearing this: "Our family also believes in it. I wonder what scriptures you copied by Miss Zhu?"

"I have been copying the "Edict on Saving the Suffering" and "Edict on Spiritual Officials" recently." Cheng Zhuyun answered, and then stood up and looked at Huo Mingyu sincerely: "In fact, I know that the princess is here today. I still have a reluctant request. I wonder if the princess can agree."

Huo Mingyu looked at Zhao Su unexpectedly. Zhao Su said, "Miss Zhu wants to borrow the book "Sacrifice of Saving People" from the princess."

"You are talking about the "Sutra of Saving People" by Baiyun Temple?"

"That's right." A flame of hope ignited in Cheng Zhuyun's eyes, "Please ask the princess to lend it to you."

Huo Mingyu hesitated: "What's the use of borrowing it?"

Cheng Zhuyun bit his lower lip. Zhao Sudai wanted to think of a remark for her, but she still spoke by herself: "To be honest, there have been many unfortunate things in my family recently, which have caused many hard work for both parents.

"My mother's health is not good, and this makes it even worse. She just relies on her age. I feel very unfilial. I heard that this volume of "Sacrifice of People" given to His Highness the Princess had great magical power, so I took the liberty to speak and asked the princess for borrowing it."

Huo Mingyu suddenly said "Oh", and saw the sadness hidden in her eyes. After a moment, he said, "The scriptures do exist, but we have not lived in the mansion for many years, and these have been hidden deep. We must wait until I go back and find them before we can send a message to you."

Cheng Zhuyun didn't expect her to be so happy. She was stunned for a while before she was excitedly bowing: "Thank you, Princess!"

"It's just a small matter. It's also a merit to fulfill your filial piety."

Zhao Suben was not sure either. First, Cheng Zhuyun and Huo Mingyu were the first acquaintance, and second, the difference in grades was there, and the Huo family would not give this face and refuse. Moreover, after all, it was a relic of the eldest princess. If there was a mistake, it would be difficult for the brother and sister to let go. However, although she hesitated a little about Cheng Zhuyun's request just now, she did not agree in the end, which made Zhao Su look at him with some admiration.

Cheng Zhuyun couldn't suppress his excitement. Huo Mingyu looked at Zhao Su, guessing that they had something to say, and said, "I'll go and see where my mother is first, let's sit for a while."

Zhao Su called Xiaoju to lead the way, watched them go down the corridor, then turned to Huo Mingyu and said, "The princess is generous and righteous, and she is indeed a kind of ruling the hall!"

Huo Mingyu's expression was correct: "If I could be half as satisfied as my mother, I would be satisfied, and it would be a slight effort just now. But to be honest, if it was for another reason, I would not lend it, but I was just thinking about my kindness. I was particularly profound, which made me unable to bear her disappointment. Furthermore, if Miss Cheng is not your friend of the emperor's sister-in-law, I still need to consider whether to borrow or not."

Even the Empress Dowager sent the nanny around her to serve her. With such favor, how could Huo Mingyu not give her face? This is the person who was recognized and maintained by both the Empress Dowager and his son.

Zhao Su heard the meaning, but her openness made her feel a little more admired. She said, "Actually, I understand very well that everything left behind by my parents is irrelevant to the size, and it doesn't matter which one is fine? So I asked the princess privately and was ready. If the princess has any inconvenience, I wouldn't force it.

"The princess's mind is admirable. Don't worry, I can make a guarantee for Miss Cheng and will never damage the scriptures."
