The carriage left Shen's Mansion and headed outside the city, and soon left the city.
Su Rong told Ye Guixue some interesting things about her childhood, and then asked him, "What about you?"
Ye Guixue answered her, "Before I was thirteen, I was forced by my father to study and practice martial arts every day. There didn't seem to be anything particularly interesting. Occasionally, in my spare time, I would go to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days, pick some fruits with my own hands, or I occasionally rode horses and hunted with my eldest brother. After I turned thirteen, the king came to see my father. After the two discussed it, he called me in front of me and asked me if I would be the master."
He glanced at Su Rong and smiled, "I was a little confused at that time. The king has no children, how can I pay homage to the master? Until the king said that he has a daughter, and he is raising it in Jiangning County, Daliang. Probably because he is afraid that I will not marry him. He agreed, and said that he would not humiliate me if he studied under Xie Yuan, and then showed me the letters he had sent people to investigate for several months and sent back. I read between the lines an interesting story that was completely different from my life. Little girl, after careful consideration, I agreed. Since then, the king personally invited an unborn scholar to be my teacher, and my father’s supervision and teachings to me have become more severe. Two years ago, I entered the imperial court as a teacher. , five years passed by, and here we are.”
After he finished speaking, he asked Su Rong, "Isn't it boring?"
Su Rong shook her head, "No, it's very hard."
Ye Guixue's eyes were warm, "It is indeed a bit hard, but this is the path I chose, so...it doesn't feel too hard."
Everyone is responsible for their own choices.
Su Rong understood what he meant and nodded with a smile, "We are about to leave the city, where should we go?"
"Why don't you go to the Great Buddha Temple to burn incense? It is said that there is a sacred locust tree in the thousand-year-old temple. We have never seen it. You can go and have a look. It is a bit far, and you have to walk hundreds of miles, but this horse is a BMW. The tutorial is quick. Two It will definitely arrive in an hour." Ye Guixue asked, "How?"
Without waiting for Su Rong to answer, he added: "If you think it's too far, you can also take a boat trip to East Lake. It's thirty miles away, which is much closer."
Su Rong did not answer immediately, but asked: "East Lake Cruise, is it a bit cold this season? I heard that the vegetarian food in the temple is more delicious, right?"
Ye Guixue smiled, "It seems so."
"Then go to the Great Buddha Temple, as far away as possible." Su Rong nodded immediately, opened the curtain and shouted outside the car, "Fengling, you go to the Great Buddha Temple in advance and order a table of vegetarian meals for us to eat at noon."
Fengling appeared and followed the car, "Sister, do you want to book the vegetarian meal for the evening? I heard that the vegetarian meal at the Great Buddha Temple is very delicious, just to win over the ladies from all over the capital to come and donate sesame oil money. , the chef is no less than the royal chef in the palace, he has studied his cooking skills with great concentration, especially he can make vegetarian food taste like meat, and make tofu taste like egg custard, and the dishes are diverse. We only ordered lunch, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat all the dishes, so I can even book the evening meal too. Thank you for not having to go so far away.”
Su Rong heard it and said, "Then we'll come back after dinner."
Fengling took a step further and suggested: "You can also stay one night and come back. At this time of year, it is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. There are not many people burning incense in the temple, and there are idle guest rooms just for the ladies and ladies who come to worship Buddha. I’ve stayed, and I’ve eaten both the lunch and dinner meals. Anyway, if I go there, shouldn’t I also enjoy the morning breakfast before coming back? The breakfast meal is definitely different from the lunch and dinner meals.”
Su Rong thought it was okay, she turned her head and looked at Ye Guixue.
Ye Guixue laughed and said, "You can make the decision."
He seemed to have forgotten that he had promised the emperor that he would enter the palace tomorrow morning, and did not mention it at all.
Su Rong nodded to Fengling, "Then go and make arrangements. We'll stay one night and then come back."
"Okay." Fengling was very happy and immediately moved forward.
After the eldest princess Sheng'an sent the nanny to the Shen Mansion, Mrs. Shen met her and asked about the purpose of her visit. The nanny said that she had been ordered by the eldest princess to invite Miss Su Qi to come to the house to talk. She specifically emphasized that the eldest princess There is something important.
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she immediately said: "Mom, it's an unfortunate time for you to come. Xiao Qi was picked up by Young Master Ye. It is said that she went out to play in the city. She has been gone for more than half an hour. Now she has left the city early. Even if she goes It’s too late to chase him.”
She asked her mother, "Did the eldest princess say that this important matter is urgent?"
Grandma shook her head when she heard this, "I didn't say I was in a hurry, I just said I wanted to see Miss Seven today."
Mrs. Shen nodded, "She should be back in the evening. When she comes back, no matter how late, I will tell her to see the eldest princess immediately."
Thinking that this was all she could do, grandma got up and left.
Mrs. Shen personally escorted Nanny to the door.
When Mammy returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion, the eldest princess Sheng'an saw that she was the only one coming back, so she understood that Su Rong had been picked up by Ye Guixue, and she asked: "Are you late?"
Mammy nodded and replied, "Back to Princess, I'm late. When I arrived at Shen Mansion, Miss Su Qi had been picked up by Young Master Ye for more than half an hour. She said she was going to play outside the city, so I was afraid it would be late at night. just came back."
She repeated Mrs. Shen's original words.
Princess Sheng'an nodded, "Let's wait until night!"
The Duke's wife has been waiting for the eldest princess Sheng'an. Now that no one has come, she also stood up and said, "Where will your daughter-in-law come later?"
"Okay, you go first!" Princess Sheng'an nodded.
When He Zheng met Zhou Gu, he found that he was restless and looked bad. He couldn't help but said: "Fourth Young Master, is it because you didn't sleep last night that you can't hold on? Why don't you go back and rest for a while? I can’t find any clues.”
Zhou Gu shook his head, "It's not because of this."
He Zheng looked at him, "Then you are..."
Zhou Gu glanced at him and rubbed his eyebrows. Naturally, he would not say that it was because Su Rong and Ye Guixue left the city. He couldn't help but think about what they would say and do. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable. He tried his best to suppress it, but he still couldn't control it. His brain seemed to have entered an endless loop in response to this matter, preventing him from taking out his soul. It kept him in it, constantly imagining what they would say and do.
He said hoarsely and helplessly: "I'm fine, just keep talking."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, He Zheng couldn't ask further. He could only say: "Someone here just said that they found the whereabouts of Ding Man. He is dead. He died a hundred miles outside the city. He probably killed him. After Feng Si, I wanted to escape from the city, but I couldn't and was silenced. My people searched for traces and searched all the way out of the city, only to find that he died in a mountain field. There were signs of a fight before his death. I also sent someone to ask for a widower, just to ask you if you want to go out of the city together?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "Yes, let's go!"
He Zheng nodded.
So, the two of them left the city together.
Because they traveled faster on horseback, not long after leaving the city, they caught up with a car driving on the official road, which was Ye Guixue's carriage.
