Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 125 Memorial Tablet
  The next day, when Xu Danyang went to see Zhao Wangshu, he told her about this matter, "Do you think there is something wrong with her brain?"

Zhao Wangshu ate the dried fruit she brought and said with a smile: "I don't know if there is anything wrong with her brain, but her eyesight must be bad."

Xu Danyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You're right, her eyes are really bad."

After chatting for a while, Xu Danyang asked Zhao Wangshu to draw an embroidery picture for her, "In early August, it was my aunt's 40th birthday, and I embroidered it as a birthday gift."

"How about the Wanshou South Pole Star Chart?"

"Okay, but I'm not good at embroidering figures."

"What kind of flowers does Mrs. Hao like?"

"Peony."

"Can you draw a picture of peony and longevity?"

Xu Danyang nodded, "Okay, okay, thank you, Sister Shu."

Zhao Wangshu took her to the study, polished his brush, and drew a picture of peony and longevity.

Xu Danyang took the picture and looked at it carefully for a long time. He was full of praise and said, "Sister Shu, your painting skills are really getting better and better."

Zhao Wangshu said proudly: "Just average, third in the world."

"The peonies are painted vividly, and the word "longevity" is written neatly and powerfully. It is really beautiful." Xu Danyang said, carefully putting the picture away, "I will embroider it well and live up to your wishes."

"Girl, the county lord is here." Lan Fen announced from outside.

Yao Shanzhi came and brought a bunch of gifts, "My eldest brother is back from patrolling the border."

"I've been out for a long time." Zhao Wangshu took a box of rouge and opened it, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils.

"In order to avoid my mother's pressure to get married, he can't wait to come back next year." Yao Shanzhi complained.

Xu Danyang smiled, "My aunt is also urging us to get married. Qian'er took my eldest cousin to see her."

"Similarly, my grandma is also urging my eldest brother to get married." Zhao Wangshu said.

"Then are they attracted to each other?" Yao Shanzhi asked curiously.

"My eldest cousin has taken a fancy to a girl from the Zhang family, and my aunt also thinks it's good. We should settle down soon." Xu Danyang replied.

"My eldest brother said that marriage should not be a trivial matter. Don't rush into getting married." Zhao Wangshu dug out a little rouge and gently applied it on the back of his hand. The rouge was as fine as silk and had a light fragrance.

Yao Shanzhi nodded with deep sympathy, "My mother always said that getting married is not a child's play and you have to choose carefully. But she is very anxious. She wishes that my eldest brother would marry someone right away and give her a grandson to hold."

Xu Danyang smiled and said: "My aunt also said that she wants to have a grandson."

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while. After having lunch at Zhao's house, Xu Danyang and Yao Shanzhi said goodbye and returned home.

Two days later, Zhao Wangshu accepted Xu Danyang's appointment and accompanied her to Wenxin Temple, where her mother's tablet was enshrined.

Wenxin Nunnery is a bhikshuni nunnery in the city. The incense in the nunnery is prosperous and the environment is quiet.

Zhao Wangshu and Xu Danyang walked through the bluestone path and entered the nunnery.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, giving this quiet place a light golden color.

Xu Danyang took Zhao Wangshu directly to the small hall where her mother's tablet was enshrined. There were many tablets on the sill, and looking at the names, most of them were women.

On the incense table in front of the room, there are three lit incense sticks inserted in the incense burner. The smoke curls up, carrying a kind of pious prayer.

"My mother is a very good person." Xu Danyang said softly.

Her eyes fell on her mother's tablet. Hao Mingyue was her mother's name.

When a woman gets married, she takes her husband's surname and becomes a certain surname, but Xu Danyang knew that her mother did not want to have anything to do with that man, and that man's surname did not deserve to come before her mother's maiden name.

"She was so gentle and kind, but she was let down by a man and died in depression." Zhao Wangshu listened quietly without interrupting her. Losing her mother at a young age was a huge blow to Xu Danyang.

She needed a place where she could express her pain and thoughts.

"Mom, my uncle and aunt treated me well. My uncle came back from a victorious battle and is now a general. My aunt treated me well. I just miss you and feel a little sad." Xu Danyang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Mother, today Wangshu is here with me, do you remember her?"

After Xu Danyang finished pouring out his thoughts about his mother, he carefully recited the rebirth mantra.

Zhao Wangshu also chanted in a low voice. This is a kind of longing and blessing for the deceased relatives, hoping that they can live a better life and no longer suffer the pain and troubles of the world.

After reciting the Rebirth Mantra one hundred and eight times, Zhao Wangshu felt his mouth was dry. Xu Danyang took her hand and said, "Sister Shu, let me treat you to tea."

After leaving Wenxin'an, they headed to a nearby teahouse. Suddenly they heard someone shouting: "Get out of the way quickly, don't let the thief escape."

Xu Danyang and Zhao Wangshu both turned around and saw a girl in tattered clothes being chased by a team of police officers.

The girl suddenly ran in front of them, stuffed the things in her hands into Xu Danyang's arms, and she ran away.

The people chasing her surrounded Xu Danyang and Zhao Wangshu.

"You are very courageous. You stole something and you dared to take it away without running away." The group of people did not allow the two of them to talk and decided that they were thieves.

"No, we are not thieves. The thief threw this thing to us." Xu Danyang defended eagerly.

But the group of people didn't listen at all. They put knives on their necks and said, "Follow us."

"Where are you taking us? I said, we are not thieves." Xu Danyang was still trying to explain.

"Come on."

"Stop being so verbose. If you say you are a thief, you are a thief." The man said fiercely.

Do officials handle cases like this?
  Zhao Wangshu frowned, feeling that something was not right, "Come here, help me, someone is pretending to be an official and acting recklessly."

Before she finished shouting, she was knocked unconscious.

When she woke up, she saw a familiar curtain. Did she just have a nightmare? But her neck hurt, and it reminded her that she was not dreaming just now, she was indeed knocked unconscious.

"Hong Chang."

"Girl, you're awake."

"What happened before?" Zhao Wangshu sat up, "Where is Xu Danyang?"

"Miss Xu was taken away by those people."

"Why didn't you save me?" Zhao Wangshu couldn't blame Hong Chang.

Hong Chang is her maid and her safety is the most important thing.

If she and Xu Danyang could only save one, Hong Chang would definitely choose her, not Xu Danyang.

"Girl, don't worry. Sister Tianying followed her and deliberately asked those people to take Miss Xu away. She wanted to find out who was responsible." Hong Chang explained quickly.

Zhao Wangshu frowned, "This is too dangerous. If something goes wrong, Tianying is very skilled and should be able to save Danyang."

But who set up this trap to catch her and Xu Danyang.

Is this game aimed at her or Xu Danyang?
  Zhao Wangshu lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of bed.

"Girl, where are you going?" Hong Chang helped her.

"You have to tell the Zhou family and Hao family about this."

"Don't worry, girl, we've already asked someone to tell you. Don't worry."
