For safety reasons, Shen Yi still did not go to see Gu Hengbo that night.
However, he gave Xu Fu a few words. Those who came to him for business did not need to meet everyone. They could contact him appropriately, and then record the people he contacted and the business they talked about and send them to Shen Yi.
here.
After all, Xu Daguanren is now a celebrity among Jiankang's powerful elite. With this popularity, he can naturally take advantage of it and do something of his own.
This can be regarded as a benefit for the emperor on errands.
Early the next morning, Shen Yi got up early. He first went to the "den" or "office" of the inner guard, handed a brief letter to the high eunuch in the palace, and then hurried there.
At the residence of Minister Zhao.
After arriving at Zhao's house, Shen Yi inquired and found out that his teacher and Zhao Shilang had left early in the morning and went to the imperial city together.
Zhao Shilang went to "work", while Mr. Lu went to see the emperor.
Shen Yi was not worried that Mr. Lu would have any problems. As the Master himself said, Shen Yi was not yet born when he entered the palace to meet the saint. So Shen Yi and Zhao Er inquired about Miss Lu's residence and came there quietly.
When he arrived at Junior Sister Lu's door, he reached out and knocked on the door: "Junior Sister."
It was Lian'er who opened the door.
At this time, Lian'er's attitude towards Shen Yi had improved a lot. She looked at Shen Yi up and down and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Shen?"
Shen Yi coughed and said seriously: "When I was in Jiangdu at the beginning of the year, I made an agreement with my junior sister that when we get to Jiankang, we will take him around Jiankang together. Now that we have arrived in Jiankang, I would like to invite my junior sister to come.
Jiankang Travel.”
Shen Yigang became a Jinshi not long ago.
Even if his job has been "decided", the bureaucracy process will take some time, so he still has a period of vacation.
During this vacation, I naturally want to spend more time with Junior Sister Lu. It is best to take advantage of this vacation to solve personal problems.
Lian'er rolled her eyes, then said to Shen Yi, "Wait a minute," and then went into the house to find her lady.
After saying this, Shen Yi waited at the door for nearly half an hour.
Half an hour later, Miss Lu, lightly applying makeup and wearing a thin blue skirt, walked out of the room. When she saw Shen Yi, she bowed slightly and saluted, with a smile on her face.
"Brother."
Miss Lu is naturally good-looking, otherwise she wouldn't be the "flower" of Ganquan Academy. She usually has a sense of beauty like hibiscus blooming from clear water, but now that she has put on a little makeup, she looks even more stunning.
Shen Yi swallowed slightly.
Among the women he has met, only Gu Hengbo can be compared with his junior sister Lu.
Fortunately, Shen Yi's mental quality was good and he quickly reacted. He smiled at Miss Lu and said: "Junior sister, Jiankang's Xuanwu Lake, Qinhuai River and Jiming Temple are all famous. The weather is a bit hot now, let's go to the waterside to compare.
To cool down, how about going to Xuanwu Lake today?"
It is naturally impolite to take girls out to play on the Qinhuai River.
Therefore, Xuanwu Lake is more suitable.
"We also have a lot of rivers in Jiangdu, as well as Yudai Lake, and Xuanwu Lake is nothing special."
Miss Lu looked at Shen Yi and said, "Brother, shall we go to Jiming Temple today? I heard that the Bodhisattvas there are very efficacious."
Jiming Temple's thousand-year-old incense is very famous in Jiankang. After all, when the Queen Mother Sun fell ill, the young emperor would go to Jiming Temple to pray for the Queen Mother's peace charm.
When going out to play with a girl, the woman has the final say on where to go. Shen Yi immediately nodded and agreed. He stopped a carriage at the door of Zhao's house. Under Zhao Er's envious eyes, he took Miss Lu and Lian'er to the foot of Jilong Mountain.
.
Jilong Mountain is located in the north of Jiankang City, and Jiming Temple is at the east foot of Jilong Mountain.
Shen Yi accompanied Junior Sister Lu all the way to Jiming Temple. Jiming Temple was very popular, and today was no exception. The temple was crowded, and the three of them managed to squeeze into the Guanyin Hall of Jiming Temple. Miss Lu was very pious and held a lotus in her hand.
Bucket, kneel down and close your eyes to cast lots sincerely.
Shen Yi didn't dislike Buddhism and Taoism as a passer-by, but he wasn't a believer either, so he waited quietly at the door of the main hall and looked at the inscriptions on the walls of Jiming Temple from time to time.
At this moment, at the Jilong Mountain pass, two horses were walking side by side, one male and one female.
At the mountain pass, the man dismounted awkwardly, then walked to the woman and prepared to help the woman off the horse. The woman glanced at the man and jumped off her maroon horse very lightly.
The woman smiled at the young man and said, "Mr. Fan, I have been much better at riding horses than you since I was a child."
Mr. Fan coughed, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What Miss Zhao said is that it's getting late, so let's go up the mountain now. I heard that the Jiming Temple is very popular, so we should go later to avoid crowds."
While the two of them were talking, four or five followers had already followed, including several strong men standing behind the woman. They were all tall and burly, looking very intimidating.
Miss Zhao raised her head slightly and smiled: "Don't worry, no matter how many people there are, it won't delay things. Is there a temple in Jiankang City that can prevent our Zhao family from offering incense?"
Mr. Fan nodded obediently and said with a smile: "That's what the lady said."
The eldest lady of the Zhao family walked up the mountain path with her hands behind her back and her head held high.
Mr. Fan followed Miss Zhao, somewhat like a follower, and the two of them entered Jiming Temple all the way.
Jiming Temple was indeed full of incense, and it was already crowded with people. Miss Zhao just frowned, and several servants of the Zhao family behind her stepped forward and roughly pushed away the people in Jiming Temple.
The common people forced their way out of the way for Miss Zhao.
You know, although the common people at the bottom cannot say that they don't go to Jiming Temple to offer incense at all, they don't come often. Therefore, some of the people in Jiming Temple are tourists from outside the city, and the other part are from the city.
Officials, wealthy businessmen, and next to the middle class in Jiankang City.
There are actually some powerful people here.
But Miss Zhao didn't worry about this. After letting someone clear a way, she walked towards the Guanyin Hall in a swaggering manner.
At this time, some people in Jiming Temple recognized this young lady from the Zhao family, but they did not dare to come forward. They just turned away and pinched their noses to pretend not to see her.
In Jiankang City, except for those surnamed Li, who could not tolerate those surnamed Zhao, everyone else had to give the Zhao family some face.
Mr. Fan who is following Miss Zhao is naturally Fan Dongcheng.
When he was in Jiangdu, although he also liked to go around with a few friends, bully his classmates, or compete with others by the Yudai Lake, but in Jiankang City, he always kept his neck down. This was the first time he saw
Seeing this kind of battle, I felt a little scared, and at the same time I was even more devoted to the Zhao family.
Relying on Miss Zhao's favor, Fan Dongcheng followed Miss Zhao, walked toward the Guanyin Hall with his hands behind his back and his neck held high.
As he walked, he talked to the Zhao woman in front of him.
"Miss is so majestic. There are so many people in this temple, and no one dares to say a word to Miss."
Miss Zhao raised her head proudly, glanced back at Fan Dongcheng, who was oily and pink-faced, and said with a smile: "What is this? My brother is much more aggressive outside than me. Two years ago, he also beat up the son of the Li family prince in the Qinhuai River. Isn't it the same?
Nothing happened?"
"Mr. Fan, your stay in Jiankang is too short. After a long time, you will know what kind of role our Zhao family plays in Jiankang."
The Zhao family woman became more and more happy as she talked. She wanted to continue talking when she saw the greasy-haired and pink-faced Mr. Fan suddenly standing there, his face turning ugly.
Miss Zhao was a little curious and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Fan?"
Fan Dongcheng came back to his senses and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I met an old acquaintance."
"What old acquaintance?"
Miss Zhao smiled at Fan Dongcheng and said, "Looking at Mr. Fan's expression, could it be that he has encountered some enemy? I happened to have a servant with me today, so I will give him a good beating to vent Mr. Fan's anger."
Fan Dongcheng did not speak, but looked up at the Guanyin Hall.
At the entrance of Guanyin Hall, a young man in white clothes was also looking at him.
