"Master, don't you invite the Fourth Master to go with you?" Mo Yu asked while putting on a smoky-colored cloak with silver-grey fur for her, "I just saw the Fourth Master at the Thirteenth Master's place!"
Ling Ruo thought for a while and said: "Since we are discussing something, let's not disturb it. You can just walk with me."
Mo Yu agreed and helped her out. Unexpectedly, there was a tall and slender figure standing outside the door. Who could it be if it wasn't Yinzhen?
"Fourth Master!" Ling Ruo looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you in Thirteenth Master's room?"
Yinzhen took her hand and walked slowly downstairs, saying softly: "Originally, I wanted to find Old Thirteen to think about how to write the memorial to Emperor Ama, but I didn't want to open the window and see outside.
It was snowing heavily, and I remembered that you said you wanted to see the remaining snow on the broken bridge, so I came to see you, and I happened to see you about to go out, what a coincidence!"
Seeing that he still remembered what she had said, Ling Ruo felt sweet in her heart and said with a little smile: "Actually, it's the same with Mo Yu accompanying me to see him. Fourth Master's business is more important."
Yinzhen let out a long sigh and said: "What else is important? It's already a foregone conclusion. This time it was always the old man who set him up."
Ling Ruo was silent. She had already heard from Yinzhen about the letter to the dragon robe. This matter involved the East Palace, and it was indeed difficult to handle. If one mistake was made, it would bring disaster to herself. No wonder Yinzhen was so worried.
She was still thinking about how to comfort her, but Yinzhen already said: "That's all, let's not talk about these spoilers. I said I will accompany you to see the broken bridge today, let's go."
As soon as we walked out of the inn, we really felt the intensity of the snow. Snowflakes like catkins and goose feathers came one after another, and the sky and the earth were completely white. After just standing for a while, the eyebrows and hair of both of them turned white.
What’s even funnier is that there are a few snowflakes falling on Yinzhen’s thin lips like naughty elves. Looking at them casually, they look like white beards.
Ling Ruo originally wanted to brush the snowflakes off Yinzhen's lips, but she didn't expect that just by raising her hand, several snowflakes fell on her own hand. As a result, not only did she not brush it away, but she brushed more and more snowflakes.
Her chin also grew, and it looked like she had grown a lot of white beard, which was so funny that she couldn't help but smile and frown, "Fourth Master, you have a beard!"
Mo Yu was having a hard time holding back, but when he heard this sentence, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and fearing that Yinzhen would blame him, he quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, while the other hand holding the oil-paper umbrella was
Can't help but tremble.
Seeing their appearance, Yinzhen shook his head with a smile, took the umbrella and blocked the falling snow above his and Ling Ruo's heads before stroking the snowflakes from his face and said with relief: "It's just a few snowflakes, it's worth it."
Are you laughing like this?"
Ling Ruo said with a smile: "I was just wondering whether the fourth master would be like before, with white hair and white beard when he is old."
Yinzhen shook Ling Ruo's cold little hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "Don't worry, you will definitely see that day."
No one understood the meaning of Yinzhen's words better than Ling Ruo. Warmth flowed through her heart, and Yu Yanran squeezed Yinzhen's hand with a smile.
Hold your hand and grow old together...
The two walked side by side, all the way to the West Lake. The heavy snow did not stop, and flakes of goose feather snow continued to fly into the lake, often falling one after another before melting, leaving a vast expanse of white, which was more crystal clear and beautiful than usual.
Standing in the auspicious snow, you can see the broken bridge across the lake from a distance. Because it is covered with white snow, the bridge surface is looming from a distance, and it seems broken but not broken. This is where the name of the broken bridge comes from.
Although the weather is cold and snowing, the number of tourists on the bridge is decreasing instead of increasing. They all come for the beautiful scenery of the broken bridge and the remaining snow. Standing on the broken bridge and looking to the northwest, you can see the Gushan and Geling areas.
, like a pavement of jade, crystal clear, with a cold and glamorous beauty that is rarely seen in the past.
The most beautiful thing in this world is never the jewels and clothes, but the breathtaking scenery created by the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
"When will Fourth Master plan to go back?" Ling Ruo reluctantly looked away. It has been more than a month since they came to Hangzhou. Although the circulation process of the silver is still unclear, its destination is clear. It will be used to build an armory. From then on
In this sense, Yinzhen's purpose of coming here has been achieved, and it is time to return to Beijing to answer his orders.
Yinzhen stroked the snow-covered railing and said, "Let's wait a few days. There is one more thing to do."
Ling Ruo guessed it after thinking about it for a moment, "But it's about Fang Lian'er?"
"Yes!" Yinzhen responded and said: "Since you have agreed, you can't give up halfway. You have been here for so long, and you don't mind staying for an extra day or two; and I also talked with Chen Fuyin that day.
, Zhao Chenyi is just a weak scholar, how can he be able to kill more than ten people in a row? From this point of view, it is a bit unreasonable."
"What about the distant cousin of the Zhao family? Is there anything suspicious?" Ling Ruo asked this question, remembering that Fang Lian'er once mentioned the person who had been in and out of the government office.
"He did go in and out of the government office, but just to inquire about the progress of the case. Chen Fuyin investigated him and found nothing suspicious. As for accepting money, it was made out of nothing." Yinzhen patted the railing.
, looked at the scattered snow and said: "It seems that I have to meet that Zhao Chenyi in person."
It was past noon when we returned from Broken Bridge. Before we even arrived at the inn, we could hear the sound of arguing in the distance. When we got closer, we realized it was Fang Lian'er and Li Wei.
"Get out of the way! I want to go in and find out why the Fourth Master obviously promised to overturn the case for Chen Yi, but why there has been no news after so long." Fang Lian'er shouted while pushing Li Wei.
Li Wei said helplessly: "Girl, I told you that the fourth master is not in the house at the moment. It is useless for you to go in. I will inform you when the fourth master comes."
Fang Lian'er refused to listen to him at all and still insisted on entering. It wasn't until Li Wei saw Yinzhen and hurriedly called Fourth Master that she stopped.
Fang Lian'er was startled, but she didn't expect that Yinzhen was really not inside. She always thought that Li Wei was perfunctory with her, but even so, she still glared at her, but before she could say anything, Yinzhen already said: "I know what you want to say,
I didn’t delay on purpose, I just had something to do before, so I delayed it.”
Ling Ruoyi said from the side: "Don't worry, Miss Lian'er, the fourth master just now told me that he would stay in Hangzhou for a few more days to investigate the Zhao family case for you."
"Seriously?" Fang Lian'er asked doubtfully. She had already thought about it before coming. If Yinzhen refused to take care of this matter, she would immediately pack her bags and go to Beijing to file a complaint. Even if she sued in front of the emperor, she would still have to prove Chen Yi's innocence.
.
Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said: "Well, I just want to go to the prison to meet Zhao Chenyi. If you are free, come with me."
Fang Lian'er had no reason not to agree, so he immediately followed Yinzhen to the government office. Ling Ruo also wanted to meet Zhao Chenyi, so he went with them.
