The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 23 Liangzhou’s wind and frost cannot support Luo Jing’s delicate flowers
In the large study room of the Imperial College, young ladies gathered together in twos and threes to talk and laugh.

Some desks are empty, because the girl sitting there said that she is married and will not come here to study in the future.

There are also young girls who have a face who are new to school, such as Guo Yingying, who is anxious to talk to other people at the moment, trying to integrate into Luo Jing's circle of noble girls as soon as possible.

He Yao sat alone in the back row, drowsy for most of the day, and finally made it to the last class.

The old man with white beard and hair appeared in the big study holding a stack of papers, "I have finished reading the travel notes written by you all. One of the travel notes left a deep impression on the old man. Congratulations to the second girl."

He Yao yawned and stood up slowly, "Sir..."

The old gentleman stroked his beard lightly, "Of the ten travel notes, except for one about the scenery of the suburban villa of the Duke of Zhen, the other nine are all about the experience of going to Huijue Temple to see peach blossoms. Miss He, you actually went to Nine times into Huijue Temple? And nine times through the dog hole in the north wall of Huijue Temple?!"

All the ladies in the room snickered.

He Yao blushed, wishing she could get into the hole!
She actually forgot that the maids and guards she hired hadn't done anything else this month, because Aye had given them a few days off, so she specially organized a team to go to Huijue Temple.

Good guy, they all wrote about the visit to Huijue Temple!

She rubbed the tip of her nose guiltily, "Because the scenery of Huijue Temple is very good, so I went there many times..."

The old gentleman was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "You are talking nonsense, you don't know what it means! After class, you stay and copy the Xue Er chapter of "The Analects of Confucius" five times. You are not allowed to go home until you finish copying!"

The laughter in the big study was even louder, especially the sisters of the Xue family, "giggle giggling giggling" laughter trembled wildly.

He Yao couldn't help but glare at them.

He's not an old hen. What's the point of "clucking"?
After class, everyone left.

He Yao buried her head in copying "The Analects of Confucius", and she didn't finish it until dusk.

She rubbed her sore wrist and left the Imperial College, only to find that Yuan Wang hadn't returned home early.

He was sitting by the car window, reading a book under the setting sun. His white and clean robes were lined with red lips, white teeth, clean and elegant, like a piece of warm jade.

Seeing that she finally came back, Yuan Huang closed the scroll, "I saw that the other girls are out of class, why did you come out so late? But what trouble did you encounter?"

"I..." He Yao hesitated.

You can't tell him that you were punished by your husband for not doing your homework, right?
She lied: "I came out a little late because I had to help my husband tidy up the study room."

Yuan Wang nodded, "I see, that's right..."

He took out a plate of pastries from the food box and said, "While I was waiting for you, I bought a few jujube paste cakes. I thought you would like to eat them, and they are still hot at the moment. You must be tired and hard working helping my husband tidy up the study, so take this to cushion your stomach." .”

He Yao tasted a piece, the pastry was soft and sweet, with the aroma of jujube paste and glutinous rice.

Little Marquis is so considerate...

Holding the sweet jujube cake, she felt more and more unhappy.

It turns out that a lie requires countless lies to complete.

She raised her eyes and stared at the smiling young man in front of her. She wanted to tell him that she was not a noble lady at all, she was just a rough man who danced with guns and swords.

She can't play the pipa, write or paint, let alone recite poetry and embroider.

How could she be worthy of him with a bright future?
She lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience, regretting for the first time that she had not studied hard before, so that now she met the amazingly talented young man, except for a marriage contract, there was nothing else he could do to match him.

The movement of her lowered eyes fell into Yuan Xuan's eyes, and it became the shyness of a young girl.

The young lady of the He family is gentle and delicate, she reads the Four Books and Five Classics, and learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even if she looks around the world, she can be called a noble family with both talent and appearance.

Besides, she treated him so well and never looked down on him...

He is a wild dog from Liangzhou, he has neither background nor talent, and being able to ride in the same car with her is to take advantage of his fiancé status, but he knows very well that his identity is stolen, the real He is not qualified to have any intersection with her at all.

After killing the dog official and the dog emperor, maybe he will return to Liangzhou.

It's a pity that Liangzhou is so windy and frosty that it can't support Luo Jing's delicate flowers...

After returning home.

The corridor twists and turns, and the graceful figure of the girl Ping Ping Ting Ting gradually drifts away in Yuan Wang's eyes.

The spring breeze passing through the pomegranate trees in the courtyard seems to still have her fragrance lingering.

marry her?

Yuan Huan touched the tip of his nose, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.

The young man is still young and does not know what marriage means.

All I know is that if you fall in love with a young lady, you should work hard to marry her and not let her be married off by another husband.

But it costs a lot of money to marry a little lady, let alone make her feel wronged.

He sat on the side of the beauty and calculated carefully, "To marry Miss He, you must first buy a piece of land, build a mansion, add furniture and decorations, at least 50 snow-patterned silver. The dowry can't be shabby, it must be 20." Snow-patterned silver. She must also have the silk, satin, pearl and hairpin jewelry that the little lady of the other family has, so it is calculated at 10 taels. Plus daily food and clothing expenses, maids and servants..."

Calculated for a whole set, it would cost at least a million taels of snow-patterned silver.

Yuan accidentally broke off a pomegranate flower.

He used to spend a lot of money, and the treasures he had stolen over the years were freely given to the poor. Now he only has a few thousand taels, how can he marry Miss He?

or……

Return to old business?

That day he went to Mantou Grotto to pawn Wei Jiuqing's night pearl, and saw a jewel larger than a human head inlaid on the highest balcony. It was worth at least 10 taels of snowflake-patterned silver.

After careful consideration, Yuan Wang decided to go to Mantou Cave tonight.

On the other side, He Yao returned to the boudoir and fell asleep.

By the time she was full of sleep, it was already the second watch of the night.

She finished nine white-flour steamed buns with pickles, and Chun Nong finally came back from outside, "Girl, this slave has found out where the steamed bun cave is!"

He Yao's eyes lit up, "Where is it?"

Chun Nong took out a piece of parchment from his bosom, "There is a large lake thirty miles outside the city called Ghost Lake. The surface of the lake is foggy all year round, so there are few tourists. There is an island in the center of the lake called Ghost Island. The high-rise buildings on the island are connected with halls and pavilions, the doors and windows are closed during the day and there is no one there, and it is noisy and lively all night at night, it is the Mantou Cave!"

He Yao excitedly took the parchment, "In that case, I will go to the Mantou Cave tonight! If I can find the Ye Mingzhu, I can enter the Tiansi Judgment tomorrow!"

As long as she can enter the court, she can read those case files...

The black-feathered arrow is like a sword hanging above her head, making her unable to sleep peacefully. She must find out the owner of the black-feathered arrow before giving up!
He Yao tied a neat ponytail with a red ribbon, and changed into a bright yellow robe with narrow sleeves, round neck and missing crotch. The robe and trousers were tightly tied into black cowhide boots.

Chun Nong held out a fierce ghost mask with green face and fangs, and said worriedly: "Mantou cave is mixed with fish and dragons, and the girl is going to be very dangerous. If people know that you went to Mantou cave in the middle of the night, it will attract unnecessary discussions. Girl, you still wear the mask. It's better to wear a mask."

He Yao happily took it, "Thank you!"
