Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 365 Miaoyu is finally settled
At the corner of the rockery,
Looking at the stupid little girl, she stood aside and said nothing.

The accidental incident still made Mrs. Wang wary. It was such a coincidence that she hit someone. After seeing the signal given by Lan Yue'er and confirming that there was no sharp weapon, Mrs. Wang felt relieved.

"Be careful when you walk, don't be so reckless, girl, what's your name, and where do you live?"

Xing Xiuyan was already frightened and frightened, so she didn't dare to say anything.

The girl with a conscientious character couldn't bear to stand aside when she saw she was in trouble. She kept nodding and apologizing, then picked up the book and replied;
"My lord, the daughter of the common people, Xing Xiuyan, lives in the village at the foot of the mountain. I accidentally disturbed your lord, please forgive me, old lady."

Zhang Jinyu didn't feel anything. When he saw the little girl, he was frightened and waved his hand;

"It's okay, just be careful when walking."

Just after he finished speaking, he turned around and asked again;
"What, your name is Xing Xiuyan? Do you have any relatives in your father's family in the Rongguo Duke's Mansion in the capital?"

The little girl nodded, yes, yes, her father Xing Zhong often said how great his aunt was. She became the wife of the Duke's Palace in the capital and was very wealthy. But how did you know that? Xing Xiuyan secretly wondered.

"Jinyu, do you know her?"

Mrs. Wang looked over carefully. She really had no impression of this person. She had seen more or less noble daughters from noble families or daughters of aristocratic families, so she would have an impression. It is rare for this girl to be handsome, but her appearance is indeed true. I had never seen him before, but when I heard Jin Yu say that he was from Rongguo Mansion, I became interested and asked.

Zhang Jinyu didn't say much, walked back and whispered;

"Mother, this girl's name is Xing Xiuyan. She is the niece of Mrs. Jia She, the eldest master of Dongyuan in Rongguo Mansion. I didn't expect to meet her here."

As soon as she heard Xing Xiuyan's name, Zhang Jinyu felt a sense of familiarity. Although this woman had not written much in the Red Mansion, she was hidden among the sisters and was not noticed, but she was quite interesting. In fact, she was the one who impressed her the most. I am afraid she was the poor girl. He was well-known, well-educated, and well-behaved. Later, he seemed to have married into the Xue family, but it was all in vain.

Mrs. Wang's eyes instantly looked over, scanning Xing Xiuyan up and down. She was elegant and steady, knowledgeable and courteous. This kind of temperament was usually found in young ladies from wealthy families. It was strange to have this in an ordinary citizen. Although her clothes were old, they were spotless. His face is also well-behaved.

"Xing Xiuyan, Xiu means mountain caves and peaks. The word Xiuyan refers to the faint green mountains and the curling clouds. It is such a pure name. Girl, come here and see you."

Mrs. Wang praised, and then waved to the girl to come over. The little girl was not afraid. She walked over, bowed and saluted. The salute was decent, and her well-behaved look was endearing.

"Your father, Xing Zhong, has a sister, your aunt, in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital?"

"Reply, old lady, yes, my father has said this, saying that my aunt is now married to a good family, but I have never met my aunt, so I don't know if what I said is true or not?"

Although Xing Xiuyan admitted it, how could he believe his father's words when his family lived in such poverty? How could the family be so miserable if a wealthy lady from a powerful family just gave her some, let alone when her mother was sick, and she would come to the temple to pray to Sister Miaoyu. Borrowed money.

"Oh, how can I say this? Why doesn't your aunt still recognize you as a family?"

Although Mrs. Wang was smiling, her eyes were always fixed on the little girl. She really didn't believe that Jia She's wife, Xing, was ranked as the first-class general of Jia She, and had the title of first-grade imperial wife. Any leakage of the status of the Duke's Mansion would make their family rich and wealthy. His eldest brother had to take care of him no matter how reluctant he was. He still had to worry about his face, whether there was something hidden inside.

The little girl shook her head and replied,

"Back to the old madam, the daughter of the people didn't know, and my father didn't tell me. It's really not easy for the family to be in trouble."

Zhang Jinyu also heard the meaning around her. She was still worried about her mother's question, fearing that she was hiding something.

"Don't be afraid. I have some connections with the Jia family. Today I am here to perform rituals. My wife is the granddaughter of the old lady of the Jia family. As for you, you can call me sister in a roundabout way. You are not considered an outsider. You can go. How about visiting your father and meeting him?"

When Xing Xiuyan heard about such a relationship, he nodded happily, but Lin Daiyu didn't know why she said this.
"Please, girl, lead the way."

Zhang Jinyu didn't expect this woman to be so easy to coax, so she didn't waste her words and let her lead the way. She wanted to see if it was really what she said, or if she was deliberately deceiving her and had other agendas.

I just didn't expect that I was about to walk out of the mountain gate as soon as I turned the corner.

There is a beautiful shadow at the mountain gate,

"Sister Miaoyu, why are you here?"

Xing Xiuyan was leading the way. When he saw Miaoyu standing at the mountain gate, he ran over in surprise and wondered, wasn't he told to go back?Why do you still come here to see me off?

Zhang Jinyu also saw it, stopped and looked over. Qiushui Yiren, Mrs. Wang and others came over shortly afterwards, and immediately looked over with curiosity, and their eyes widened.

She has a similar temperament to Lin Daiyu. She is worldly, transcendent, and worthy of being a Buddhist, but her appearance is a bit too beautiful. How could such a person be in a temple, and wearing a nun's Zen robe, but she doesn't look like a Buddhist nun at all. , with flowing hair, lined with Chinese people, and made of fine brocade cloth, worthy of being from a wealthy family. The two sides looked at each other, and Daiyu shouted;

"Master Miaoyu, something is wrong."

Miaoyu clasped her hands together, bowed, and said softly;
"The abbot, please ask the Marquis to move on and explain."

Miaoyu ignored Daiyu's inquiry, and everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Jinyu. There was an inexplicable meaning in their eyes. Mrs. Wang then realized that it was this woman who was causing trouble in the backyard. Now they came directly to find her, and she didn't know where she was. It was my son who provoked others again.

Zhang Jinyu's indescribable feeling, Miaoyu's expression that changed three times a day, this courage, maybe the lack of scruples of the Buddhist, but he underestimated her.Zhang Jinyu clasped her hands together and laughed loudly,
"Please."

Taking the lead to walk out of the mountain gate, Miaoyu stopped looking for excuses and followed. Lan Yue'er and Lan Shu'er wanted to chase after them, but Qin Keqing held them back.
"You two sisters, please don't go over there. Just wait."

The two girls pouted and were unhappy and had no choice but to stay here, but Mrs. Wang asked in a deep voice;
"But what did you see?"

Qin Keqing also looked a little confused and said hesitantly;

"Mother, apart from her appearance and appearance, this girl seems to be eighty-nine times similar to her daughter-in-law. Although she is not as similar as Xiangling, this is really unbelievable."

Mrs. Wang's mind turned around, and she quickly thought about what went wrong. One person seemed to be a coincidence, but two people was not a coincidence. Although it was obvious that they were not the same person, her son liked it like this, and was afraid that there was some secret behind it. .

Miaoyu followed out of the mountain gate, her face turned red, and then she immediately pursed her lips, her eyes filled with grievances. After walking for a while, Zhang Jinyu suddenly turned around and asked;
"Is your father an official of Suzhou Weaving?"

At this time, Zhang Jinyu also remembered that Miaoyu's parents might be the people in charge of Suzhou Weaving. They were subordinates of the Zhen family, running errands for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They calculated that the good times would not last long, and they were just scapegoats.

Although Miaoyu was not implicated in the temple, life was difficult.

Miaoyu didn't expect that she would ask about this matter.
"Yes, Miaoyu's parents are the chief weavers in Suzhou. Why, does the Marquis have any plans?"

Miaoyu raised her head and asked. Thinking of Zhang Jinyu leaving, Miaoyu was also panicked. Knowing that her love disaster was on him, she dropped everything and chased him out.

Zhang Jinyu turned around and looked over. Although Miaoyu was dressed in Zen clothes, she looked nothing like a Buddhist. She had six unclean roots and a charming body. With an eight-point Qin Keqing face and a dusty temperament, Zhang Jinyu couldn't bear it and hugged her. He stopped Miaoyu, lowered his head and kissed her hard.

Miaoyu was so scared that she didn't push away until her breathing became uneven.

"From today on, you will be my servant. I, Xing Xiuyan, will arrange for you to be your maid. How about the two of you following me back to the capital."

Miaoyu was anxious and angry, but she felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.
"It's not like this, my master and my parents are here, and I'm still a Buddhist, so how can I get married?"

"Bullshit, what about Buddhism? If you really want to practice Buddhism, I can build you a Buddhist temple in my house."

Zhang Jinyu doesn’t believe this at all, as long as he has a Buddha in his heart.

"Why are you like this? You can't leave now, please wait."

Miaoyu didn't know what to say, so she could only refuse first. She was a disciple of Buddhism and had not yet returned to secular life, so she could talk about it later.

"Okay, think about it carefully. I will leave your soldiers and ships here for you. I will make a decision after thinking about it."

Zhang Jinyu is not in a hurry. He has established a foothold in Jiangnan, so it is best to slowly encroach on it.

"Niu Dazhuang, you lead one hundred brothers to stay here and protect Master Miaoyu, and then escort her back to the capital when she figures it out."

"It's Lord Hou."

Zhang Jinyu looked at Miaoyu with a sad face and comforted her;

"Meeting is fate. It's really my luck to meet the fairy. These soldiers will stay here to protect you and just take care of their food. Xing Xiuyan will also let her family come over after I go to her house. I'll wait for you until you figure it out. It would be nice to go to the capital."

After all, Miaoyu couldn't let go of Zhang Jinyu. Looking at the handsome man's face, her face turned red, and she nodded awkwardly, her blushing face like a peach blossom.

"Um,"

Without waiting for Zhang Jinyu's reply, he ran back to the mountain gate, and Niu Dazhuang and other soldiers hurriedly followed.

Mrs. Wang and others left the mountain gate early and were waiting on the mountain road. When they saw many soldiers staying behind, Mrs. Wang naturally became enlightened. When Zhang Jinyu came back, she asked,
"Is it all arranged?"

"Go back to mother, we have made arrangements, leaving a hundred soldiers to guard here."

Zhang Jinyu also looked back at the mountain gate. The gate had long been closed tightly and no one was there, and she still felt reluctant to give up.

"Okay, let's make the arrangements. If she doesn't come after a year, just invite her back. After all, she is from the Buddhist sect, so she is a bit undisciplined."

Mrs. Wang's face was smiling, but her voice revealed unquestionable determination. The women were silent. This did not mean to invite someone, but it seemed that they had discovered something fishy. However, Lin Daiyu was a little puzzled that a Buddhist could marry someone back. , I really can’t figure out the relationship.

Only Xing Xiuyan was confused and still thinking about how Sister Dian Miaoyu could know Mr. Hou. The little girl jumped ahead and led the way. When they arrived at the foot of the back mountain, there was a village not far away. There was also a monk from Hanshan Temple in the village. Buddhist temple.
