After having lunch at Yang's workshop, shopkeeper Wang personally sent his boss out of the door. After leaving the workshop and standing on the cross street, Xia Xun hesitated in his heart: "This time... it's almost the time when Miss Miaoyi asked me to meet.
,Shall I go, or shall I not go?”
From the bottom of his heart, Xia Xun didn't want to see her. During the short encounter that day, Xia Xun had already noticed that the mother and daughter of the Geng family had an unclear relationship with Yang Wenxuan. The only thing he hadn't figured out yet was
What remains is whether the mother and daughter know each other's existence, and... how far Miss Sun and Yang Wenxuan have developed.
As for Mrs. Sun... Needless to say, thinking of her uncontrollable hunger and thirst, Xia Xun secretly had a cold war. A blind man could feel how close the relationship between the two of them was. This
Yang Wenxuan, really...
If possible, Xia Xun hopes that he will never have anything to do with this mother and daughter again in his life, but now the suspicion of Yuan Yuan is getting heavier and heavier. To find out the potential threat, he must first find out the background of this person and confront him head-on.
It is not easy to break through. Starting from Mrs. Sun, you will definitely have a relationship with that woman. Maybe starting from Miss Sun will work wonders...
To see or not to see? It’s hard to decide.
Peng Ziqi asked suspiciously: "Don't you even think about where you want to go?"
"If you can't deal with a mature and charming woman like Mrs. Sun, how can you also deal with a young girl? It's just the same as raising your head or shrinking your head, so give it a try!"
Xia Xun took a breath, puffed out his chest and said, "Let's go to the Jade Emperor Temple."
Peng Ziqi said calmly: "If you scholars don't go to the Confucius Temple, why do you worship the Jade Emperor?"
Xia Xun sighed: "There's just someone waiting for me there who I don't want to see but have to see."
Just as Peng Ziqi was about to ask more questions, Xia Xun had already stepped forward.
In the Jade Emperor Temple in the south of the city, the incense was not very prosperous, and there were only a few believers and tourists coming in and out at the mountain gate. Xia Xun and Peng Ziqi rushed to the Jade Emperor Temple, looked up at the tall plaque on the mountain gate, and were about to walk in when something suddenly happened.
Someone shouted: "Ah, so Mr. Yang is here."
Xia Xun stopped and looked around, and saw an old man in blue emerging from behind the stele corridor on the right. He came over to greet him with a pleasant smile, bowed deeply to him and said, "Little old man Zhu Dong, I have met Mr. Yang."
Xia Xun saw that this man was dressed as a servant and looked familiar. He was slightly surprised and said, "You are..."
The old man smiled and said: "Young man is the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion. Two days ago, my young master had a conflict with someone on the cross street. The young master used to mediate and persuade peace..."
"Ah!" As soon as he said this, Xia Xun remembered it, patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered. Why is the old housekeeper here today?"
Zhu Dong said: "Oh, my young lady went to the temple to offer incense, and the little old man came with her. She is old and useless. She will get out of breath after walking too much, so she waited outside the temple. The little old man was taking a rest on the corridor.
, I happened to see the young master, so I came to say hello and express my thanks."
As he said this, he glanced at the companion who was standing next to Xia Xun, who was a bit more handsome than the eldest girl, and said with a smile: "Young Master also comes to the temple to offer incense?"
"Uh..., yes, I happened to walk here and went to the temple to pay my respects. Now I'm going in. I'll see you later, old housekeeper."
After answering correctly, the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion, Xia Xun nodded to Peng Ziqi, walked into the mountain gate, then entered the Yimen, passed the Chengtang Hall, bypassed the Xianting and the Jade Emperor Hall, and suddenly saw two figures in the Twenty-eighth Hall on the left veranda.
Somewhat familiar, Xia Xun took a closer look and saw a man and a woman standing under the statue of the virtual-eyed rat. The man had delicate features and the woman was pretty and handsome. They turned out to be Miss Zhu Shanbi from the Zhu family and Cui Yuanlie, whom she had just met two days ago.
Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing happily, one was talking and laughing happily, the other was in a high-spirited mood, the other was flirting with her eyes and covering her lips. It seemed that they had some affection for each other. Xia Xun smiled unconsciously: "In just a few days, they actually...
, this really comes naturally.”
Peng Ziqi looked on and said, "Why don't you come up and say hello?"
Xia Xun smiled and shook his head: "No, it's better not to disturb me at this time."
Just as he was talking, he saw Cui Yuanlie saying something to Miss Zhu. He took out a treasure note and handed it to Miss Zhu's personal maid, as if asking her to buy something. The little maid accepted the treasure note and was very happy.
He left happily, and Cui Yuanlie bowed to Miss Zhu. Miss Zhu nodded shyly, and the two of them walked toward the depths of the palace next to each other. Cui Yuanlie pointed while walking, as if he was introducing to her the legends and stories of the gods in the temple.
Xia Xun smiled slightly and turned to the verandah on the other side: "Come on, let's go this way. Don't disturb the lovers."
Peng Ziqi followed him, looked back, and said deliberately: "That Miss Zhu is very beautiful. If you had deliberately approached her that day, based on your family background and appearance, maybe one of her hearts would belong to you."
Xia Xun said: "There are more than thousands of beauties in the world. Do I have to find ways to get the beautiful ones?"
"Isn't that the kind of person you are?"
Xia Xun smiled meaningfully: "Destiny is like the wind, and the wind is unpredictable. The gathering of clouds is fate, and the scattering of clouds is fate. Destiny cannot be sought. You can only wait for it to come. It is fate when you come, and it is fate when you go. It is fate when you have it.
Even if I don't get it, it's destiny. The person I want must be destined to me. Do you really understand what kind of person I am?"
Peng Ziqi snorted coldly and said: "You are pretending to be a ghost, what kind of tricks are you trying to do?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Since I met the young master, the word I hear you say the most is 'hum'. What do you think we are destined for?"
Peng Ziqi blurted out: "Bad fate!"
Xia Xun high-fived and said with a smile: "It makes sense! It makes so much sense, hahaha..."
Xia Xun laughed and left. Peng Ziqi then realized that there was something wrong with his words. When he wanted to explain, Xia Xun had already entered the Twelve-Chen Hall, so he had no choice but to stomp his feet and chase after him with a red face.
"Ah, Mr. Peng, please wait here while I go to meet someone."
After passing the Guandi Temple and seeing the inconspicuous plaque of the Silkworm Temple, Xia Xun suddenly stopped and said to Peng Ziqi.
Peng Ziqi said suspiciously: "Who do you want to meet?"
Xia Xun said: "This person wants to discuss a big deal with me, so it's really inconvenient for someone to be around."
Peng Ziqi blinked and said, "You don't need me to protect you? Aren't you afraid that the assassin will appear and harm you?"
Xia Xun said: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but my whereabouts are uncertain this day. Does the assassin have the ability to predict the future? Besides, I will go to the Silkworm Temple to meet him, and not go anywhere else. Haha, sir, please be here.
This will wait."
"You are so sneaky, you must be seeing a woman! If you are really having a tryst with a woman here, but you want me to be your gatekeeper, I will never spare you. Just one stick of incense, and I will wait for you just one stick of incense."
,If you don’t come out then...,Humph! Humph!"
Peng Ziqi thought to himself, sat down on the stone steps, held the knife across his knees, and waited with a sneer.
Xia Xun walked to the Silkworm Temple, looked around furtively, and then slipped into the temple.
The Silkworm Temple is not big. It only enshrines the Silkworm Goddess. The incense in the Jade Emperor Temple is not strong to begin with. The sericulture industry in Qingzhou is not prosperous enough, and there are very few people worshiping the Silkworm God. At this time, there are only two women in the small hall, one
She is a young maid with a double bun, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a delicate appearance. The other one is Miss Miao Yi of the Sun family.
"Ahem! Miss Sun, Xiaosheng..."
"Brother Wenxuan, you are here!"
When she saw Xia Xun, Sun Miaoyi was overjoyed and jumped into his arms. With her soft and delicate body, Xia Xun could feel the elasticity and softness of her body, as well as her youthfulness from the inside out.
The vitality frightened him so much that he quickly raised his hands in the air and said: "Miss Sun, please stop, here...here..."
"ah!"
Only then did Sun Miaoyi realize that she was overjoyed, and she quickly left his arms with a blushing face. She rolled her eyes at him and then said to the little maid: "Xiaoyu, go check out the stalls outside the temple and choose one for me.
Bring your wallet back."
"Yes, miss."
The little girl agreed and glanced at Xia Xun. She saw this man standing there like a goose, not showing anything. She immediately pouted her mouth and walked out of the hall unhappily. But it was Miss Sun.
He reacted quickly, pursed his lips and smiled, took out a two hundred cash note from his sleeve and gave it to her, and the little girl left happily.
Seeing this, Xia Xun suddenly understood Cui Yuanlie's purpose in sending the money to the maid next to Miss Zhu to buy something. Cui Yuanlie's purchase was a fake, and he most likely took the opportunity to reward him and make the light bulb disappear on his own.
It turns out that at that time, it was not entirely forbidden for Mr. Guijie to interact with young ladies. There were many people who had private interactions. Many Ming and Qing scripts often talked about ladies meeting their lovers in their back gardens, or young women having private interactions with men.
The romantic affairs of the lady are evident. But if you want to accomplish these things, the girl next to you must take advantage of them.
Because the personal maid and the young lady are almost inseparable. If you don't take care of them well and give them enough sweetness, how can you have the opportunity to have close contact with her young lady? So if you have money, you have to use it. If you don't have money, you have to use the beauty trick.
For example, Zhang Sheng sweetly said to the matchmaker: "If I share a tent with your passionate young lady, how can I be willing to teach you how to fold the quilt and make the bed?" Some people even steal the maid first before they have the opportunity to get involved with the young lady.
It's a pity that this "Yang Wenxuan" is not the other Yang Wenxuan, and he doesn't understand the ancient rules of picking up girls. The little jade girl was used to receiving his favors. Seeing that he was so stingy today, she was naturally dissatisfied. If she was deliberately causing harm, there was no need to show it.
Their business is just waiting for the two of them to be in love with each other and their love for the concubine reaches a critical moment, so they find an excuse to come and invite the young lady back to the house. That would be very boring.
Fortunately, the Miss Sun family was smart and told her lover that he had forgotten to bring money, so she took out his wallet for him, hooked up with him and paid him, and she was willing to do so. Yang Wenxuan's method of seducing women was really clever.
