Chapter 47
"Father, have you forgotten what you said?" Chang Luoyun's eyes showed a trace of mockery, "You told me that you would send me back to the countryside after the embroidery competition is over. The Chang family can't tolerate me."

Chang Pu paused, "Isn't that what my father said in a moment of desperation? There are too many to do."

Chang Luoyun looked at Chang Pu's serious face, and felt more and more disdainful in his heart, "My aunt's death day will be in two days, so how will father offer sacrifices to aunt?"

Worshiping and offering sacrifices to the Han family, she is a poisonous woman, how can she deserve to enjoy the offerings and sacrifices of the Chang family.

Although she died in the ancestral hall back then, who said she didn't commit suicide in fear of crime. After all, the poison that killed the old lady was found in her room.

"Father probably has forgotten my mother, but I still remember it!" Chang Luoyun said: "I plan to use three animals to worship my mother, and I will go to the temple on Fengming Spring to save her. Father can do it ?"

The offering of the three animals is something only a woman in the family can enjoy. For so many years, the memorial tablet of the Han family has not even entered the ancestral hall of the Chang family, so why talk about the offering of the three animals.

"Your mother is guilty."

"Whoa!"

Chang Luoyun couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up a cup on the table and threw it on the ground, smashing it to pieces, "Uncle Yanqing, see you off."

Chang Pu's face turned black with anger.

Without hesitation, Wang Yanqing stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Master Chang, Mrs. Pei, the girl is going to copy scriptures for the late wife, please come back another day."

Chang Pu finally changed his face, flung his sleeves and left.Pei looked at Chang Luoyun with a complicated expression, and let Qiu Hen help him out the door.

Chang Luoyun stabilized his mind, and said: "Uncle Fu, please arrange a place for Mama Wu. From now on, she will live in this courtyard, and she will be arranged according to my aunt."

Uncle Fu took Mama Wu down.

Wang Yanqing looked at Chang Luoyun, and another girl who looked similar appeared in front of him, but this face was more resolute, while the other face was full of sorrow.

If Xiuzhu had Yun'er's decisiveness back then, she would never have died like that.

"Uncle Yanqing," Chang Luoyun tried hard to force out a smile, "Look, I will still be sad, I will still be angry, I can't be calm."

Wang Yanqing sighed, "Yun'er, you've done a good job, after offering sacrifices to your mother, you can go to the capital."

If I found that person in the capital and fulfilled a wish, it would be good, but if I didn't find him, but got the empress dowager's favor to form a good relationship and let Yun'er get rid of the Chang family, Xiuzhu should be able to smile at Jiuquan.

Outside the city of Cangzhou, two fast horses galloped through the night.

On the horse in front, Mu Jingyi, dressed in black, had a serious face, and his eyes shone like stars in the dark night.Liang Qi at the back was also dressed in black, with a calm face.

The two of them galloped to the outside of Cangzhou City, and it was only then that Mu Jingyi slowed down.

Liang Qi reined in his horse, a little half a horse behind Mu Jingyi.

"Look, after traveling for hundreds of miles, do the people of Qi grow food?" Mu Jingyi's voice was hoarse as he rode all the way overnight.

"Never." Liang Qidao: "During this journey, all markets are full of singing and dancing. Officials and merchants are very fond of luxury. Everywhere you see is silk and satin. Most of the people grow mulberry and raise silkworms."

"Have you ever asked where the common people get their food from?" Mu Jingyi's tone was cool.

"Most of them come in from Xia. Now the people of Xia like silk from Qi, and the price of silk from Qi is soaring. Many merchants buy silk from Qi and sell it to Xia, and then buy grain from Xia to ship to Qi.

Rice in Qi State was expensive, and coupled with the severe drought in the past two years, some people could only sell their fields to sell grain, while wealthy businessmen, including officials, rented fields to grow mulberry and silkworms to produce a large amount of silk and transport it to Xia State, earning a lot of money.Nowadays, there are more and more rogues along the border, and most of these rogues are ordinary people who have nothing to cover their stomachs. "

Mu Jingyi reined in his horse and looked at the high gate of Cangzhou City, but did not speak.

"Master Hou, should we go back to Beijing directly from Cangzhou or return to Beijing via Qingzhou?" Liang Qi asked.

"The embroidery contest is over?" Mu Jingyi asked suddenly.

Liang Qi was taken aback, and replied: "Yes, Miss Yun'er won No.1."

A smile appeared on Mu Jingyi's face, and there was a trace of laziness in his tone, "This girl really can't hide it anymore."

"I heard that Miss Yun'er is still looking around for the young master who saved her back then, Lord Hou?"

Mu Jingyi held up his palms to stop him from continuing, "You said Yongchang Hou Shizi has also arrived in Qingzhou?"

"Yes, the princess asked him to escort the girls to the capital together."

"Go to Qingzhou." Mu Jingyi put his legs between the horse's belly, and the tall, sweaty BMW neighed, and galloped away.

Chang Luoyun finished writing the last word and put the pen on the pen stand.After worshiping A Niang tomorrow, I will go directly to Fengming Spring and come back at noon the next day.It is estimated that I can go to the capital in two days.

On the second day, after offering sacrifices to the Han family with three animals, Wang Yanqing rode a horse, and Chang Luoyun, Wu Ma, and Bi Yan went to Fengming Spring in a carriage driven by Uncle Fu.

The curtains on both sides of the carriage were rolled up. After the spring equinox, the new willows were beginning to bloom, and the greenery was dyed. Chang Luoyun enjoyed the scenery outside all the way.

When they got out of the city, a young man in purple clothes rode towards him from a distance, and when he saw Chang Luoyun and the others' carriage, he paused.

Bi Yan retracted her head, lowered the curtain, and said, "It's Prince Zhou again, I don't know if they will find fault."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhou Wei came forward on horseback, "Miss Chang Si, where are you going to enjoy the scenery?"

"Zhou Shizi, it's not convenient for us to tell you where we are going, please do it yourself." Chang Luoyun said with a smile.

Zhou Wei smiled slightly, "I think your direction is probably going to Fengming Spring. It just so happens that we can go together and take care of each other."

Chang Luoyun sneered and said, "Senior Zhou, I went to Fengming Spring to pray for my deceased mother. Unlike you who are traveling around the mountains and rivers, we should go our separate ways."

Zhou Wei froze for a moment, but did not follow.

Bi Yan looked out, "Girl, Prince Zhou seems to be back."

"It's better to go back, with him along the way, it's very noisy."

When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, Wang Yanqing was already waiting there.

The road to Fengming Spring is only one step, Uncle Fu stayed behind to guard the carriage, and Wang Yanqing accompanied him up the mountain.

When we got to Fengming Spring, we took a rest for a while, and when we arrived at the temple, it was already Shenshi.

The abbot of the temple and Wang Yanqing have known each other for a long time. As soon as they came, the abbot arranged a fast meal.In the evening, the abbot took the monks to perform rituals, and Chang Luoyun took Biyan and Wu Ma to the backyard to rest.

The backyard is still some distance away from the front hall and the monks' houses, mainly for the placement of the female family members who come to offer incense.

Chang Luoyun was arranged in the middle courtyard, a courtyard with two wing rooms, Chang Luoyun lived in the inner one, Wu Ma and Bi Yan lived outside.

As soon as they arrived at the house, a nun brought a wooden bucket and brought hot water for them to wash.The moment she put the barrel on the ground and raised her head, Mama Wu was startled and blurted out: "Huan'er!"

Chang Luoyun and Bi Yan were both startled, and they all looked at the nun together.
