Chapter 55 Introduction
After Sanskrit was invited into the Wu Mansion, he drank tea in the side hall.

This is the first time she has come to the Wu Mansion. Although it is only a small courtyard with three entrances, it is a bit more luxurious than the county magistrate's mansion, but why does it look so tacky?

Sanskrit stared at the broken jade flower pots at the door, and the wooden fan screen with a picture of a beautiful girl, and couldn't help curling his mouth.

It is really uneducated and terrible to waste all these good materials.

It took a while for Madam Wu to come, and she sent someone to look for Wu Xiancheng, but Wu Xiancheng hadn't come back yet, and Yang Huailiu had already entered the door, so she didn't need to delay any longer.

"Huailiu is really a busy person. It took three days to send someone to invite him. Your father is too harsh on you. You are still in charge of family affairs and students at such a young age. Why do you think you are A girl in her teens?"

Madam Wu entered the door and opened her mouth in a strange manner. Sanskrit got up and blessed her body, "Greetings to Madam Wu." She didn't answer Madam Wu's words at all...

After looking up and down the Sanskrit sound for a long while, Mrs. Wu let her sit down, "On the day of Fang County Magistrate's birthday, I couldn't talk to you intimately. Now I look carefully and see that you are a wonderful person. The appearance is really handsome, but it is a pity that it will take many days for the renewal, which will not delay the search for a husband's family, but I don't know if there is anyone you like?"

"Huai Liu didn't know the rules when she came out of the Yang family village, but she still knew her parents' orders. All these matters are up to her father, and she dare not speak out without authorization."

Sanskrit looked at Mrs. Wu, and although she smiled plainly, she had already scolded her like a dog in her heart.

Talk to yourself about getting married?If Sanskrit took up her topic and spread it, wouldn't she become a shameless girl? How could a girl come out to talk about marriage by herself these days?Do you really think she is a fool?

The smile on Mrs. Wu's face that concealed her thoughts was even thicker, like the five-colored plum in summer, which looks gorgeous, but is actually very poisonous.

"Speaking of which, it's my fault. How can I talk to you about such things? I didn't think of you as a child, but as an adult. By the way, the last time I heard you talk about being filial to your mother, but I don't know why your mother passed away? She didn't live a good life, and she passed away so early, it's really a poor person."

Madam Wu lowered her head and sipped her tea, but her gaze never left Fanyin's face.

Fanyin bowed her head and said nothing, and Madam Wu frowned after waiting for a long time before getting her answer, and the atmosphere was a bit cold and awkward.

The mother on the side stepped forward to make a rescue, poured tea for Sanskrit, and then said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Yang was shaved and kept filial piety for her mother, which moved many wives very much. It was your intention, but I don’t know which master you followed when you learned Buddhism? What scriptures did you learn?”

"Do you also practice Buddhism?" Fanyin looked at her, and her mother shook her head after being startled, "I have always had this heart."

"Then I'm afraid you won't understand when I'm speaking to you, so I don't want to show my timidity here." Fanyin held the cup of tea in his hand and looked at Mrs. Wu, "Mrs. Wu invited you to come and taste the tea. As expected, the tea tastes delicious. , Thank you Madam Wu."

I thought Mrs. Wu's invitation would be something important, or it might be related to what happened to my father in the county government office, but Fanyin waited for a long time, but Mrs. Wu didn't say a word, which made Fanyin a little confused .

Since she can't figure it out, there's no need to stay any longer. Sanskrit doesn't like the feeling of bottomless emptiness in her heart, being framed here.

Mrs. Wu was disgusted in her heart. Before she could evict her, this girl wanted to leave first?
"Mom, give her a cup of tea. It's getting colder, and it's not appropriate to drink this kind of clear tea anymore. Bring the Qishan red buds that the master brought back a few days ago, and invite Miss Yang to taste it." Mrs. Wu expressed her intention. It is very clear that the mother beside me should go there in a leisurely manner.

Sanskrit frowned inwardly, and could only smile and said, "Thank you Mrs. Wu, I'm afraid staying here for too long will disturb your rest."

"It's okay, I'll be alone all day long, wouldn't it be more fun to have someone with me now? It would be even better if you could stay with me all the time." Mrs. Wu looked at her, that day The deputy examiner's gaze made Sanskrit feel displeased from the bottom of his heart.

"Huai Liu would also like to practice calligraphy and study under the weeping willows in such a wide courtyard, but it's a pity that there are still things to do at home, so I can't stay for long." Sanskrit's smile and polite refusal displeased Mrs. Wu, "Why? I can't keep you anymore ?”

"That's not true. I still thank Mrs. Wu for her kindness, and Huai Liu accepts it."

Sanskrit didn't say any more, and just waited for the mother to bring tea to taste and take a sip before leaving. She really didn't want to have more contact with this woman, and she always felt a little cold behind her back.

Mom served the tea, Sanskrit thanked her and took a sip. Although it was black tea, it tasted refreshing, and it was a first-class good tea.

An eighth-rank county magistrate can be treated so well, and their house probably doesn't have a clean spot from the threshold to the eaves... Greedy!

At this moment, it was Wu Lingya who came in from outside the door. She was not surprised to see Sanskrit here, and said with a sneer, "How does the tea that mother invites you taste? Have you ever drank such good tea? Don't spoil things." .”

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Wu frowned and scolded, Wu Lingya twisted her body and entered the door.

Sitting awkwardly, Wu Lingya looked at Fanyin and said, "I heard that brother Jing went to your house a few days ago?"

"Yes." Fanyin answered simply and simply, Wu Lingya waited for her to say something, but Sanskrit was missing a single word.

Wu Lingya was very angry, and she was about to speak again when she was depressed, but she saw Mrs. Wu staring at her...

Restraining her blunt impatience, Wu Lingya paused, and asked round the corner: "Brother Jingzhi will go to the neighboring county to take the exam in two days, and he went to your home during such a busy time to ask Master Yang for advice. ?”

"Yes." Sanskrit looked at her, and still answered very briefly, only one more word than before.

Wu Lingya bit her lip, feeling annoyed, and asked her directly for such a simple answer, and asked her in a roundabout way, but she refused to say more. Is this bald man dumb?
Sanskrit took another sip of tea, then got up, Mrs. Wu was still deliberating whether to keep Sanskrit, or at least ask a few questions about the Chen family...

But neither of them waited to open their mouths, and they heard someone outside the door replying: "Mrs. Zhang, inspector Zhang came to see me."

"Inspector Zhang? Who is that?" Mrs. Wu didn't react, and said, "It's the eldest son of Captain Zhang."

"It's him?" Mrs. Wu frowned, and immediately looked at Sanskrit...

Fanyin was also very strange, she didn't expect Zhang Wenqing to find Wu's house, did he just return home and see Caiyun and learned that he had important news here?
Thinking about it this way, Sanskrit was a little anxious, but the servants of the Wu Mansion didn't say that Zhang Wenqing was looking for her, and she couldn't take the initiative to go forward.

"What is he here for?" Wu Lingya seemed to be annoyed by Zhang Wenqing, "This person is the most annoying, I don't want to see him, drive him away."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Wu glared, then turned to look at the servant at the door and said, "Since it's the name of the inspection, if you don't accept it, won't it make people tarnish the reputation of the master's integrity? Go invite Zhang Xun Check it in, and Mrs. Ben will receive it in person."

Sanskrit wanted to leave on purpose, but before he could speak, Madam Wu said: "My niece of the Yang family should stay here for a while, Madam has something else I want to ask you later."

"I don't know what's going on? Why don't you ask Mrs. Wu to explain it clearly?" Fanyin didn't want to delay.

Mrs. Wu sneered, "Let's wait a bit, it's not easy to inspect here, and I still talk to you about your father and the daughter of the Chen family?"

"What's the matter with teachers and students?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Mrs. Wu stopped paying attention to Sanskrit, and looked straight outside the door.

Zhang Wenqing quickly entered the door, and when he saw Mrs. Wu, he took the lead in saluting, "Zhang Wenqing, the inspector of the county government, pays his respects to Mrs. Wu."

"Inspector Zhang? I have reported this name. I haven't figured out that it is you. I don't know why you came to the Wu Mansion for this matter? What are you doing to inspect Madam here?" He is extremely tough on Zhang Wenqing.

Obviously the Zhang family and the Wu family have never dealt with each other, otherwise they wouldn't lose face.

"I'm here to pick up Yang Huailiu."

After Zhang Wenqing finished speaking, he looked at Sanskrit and said, "Enough reminiscing about the past? Come with me."

"Okay." Sanskrit replied very happily. She knew that Mrs. Wu had a purpose since she came to Wu's house, but she didn't expect that although the matter was still related to her father, it was not a matter of the county government, but related to the Chen family.

Do you still want to get married at this time?Madam Wu is full, right?Doesn't she know about the county government?
As soon as Fanyin had such a thought in his mind, Mrs. Wu said sharply: "The guest invited by my lady, did you pick it up as soon as you wanted to? Yang Huailiu is not a prisoner!" Madam Wu looked at Fanyin, "The Yang family My niece should stay here for lunch, but don't disappoint my wife's kindness."

"Madam Wu's kindness is appreciated by Liu Xin, why don't you come to visit me some other day..."

"No!" Mrs. Wu looked at her, "Mrs. Ben will send someone to the county government to tell your father, and invite him to come back with our master for dinner at night."

"Mrs. Wu is self-respecting. I came here to follow orders. I hope you will forgive me." Zhang Wenqing's words stunned Mrs. Wu, but at this moment Wu Lingya snorted, "Following orders? What about the county magistrate's order? Take it out! Do you think this is your Zhang residence? Barbarian..."

"Shh!"

Zhang Wenqing took out a piece of paper from his bosom, on which there was an obvious seal of the county magistrate, "This is the magistrate, farewell!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Wenqing looked at Fanyin, who ignored the shock of the magistrate, and followed him out the door.

Mrs. Wu was startled, and by the time she realized it, Zhang Wenqing had already left the door with the Sanskrit voice.

"Stop!" Mrs. Wu shouted, "What's going on? Then... what order is that?"

Zhang Wenqing glanced at Sanskrit, "It's better for you to inquire carefully when Wu Xiancheng comes back, Madam Wu, take care."

Sanskrit followed Zhang Wenqing out of the door in a hurry, Mrs. Wu was a little at a loss, and immediately sent someone to say: "Go to the county government office and ask the master for clarification!"

"Brother Zhang, what's the matter with this order?"

After leaving the Wu residence, Sanskrit did not follow him any further, and stopped to ask for clarification.

Although Zhang Wenqing did not move his head, his eyes circled around, and he said loudly: "It is the county magistrate who is afraid that something will happen to you, so he asked me to protect you, so that you don't go out at will, and now you are patrolling privately. That matter has nothing to do with you." Father has nothing to do, but has something to do with Sun Dianshi... Do you understand?"

Fanyin saw his strange eyes, frowned and muttered: "I understand? What do I understand?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a flash in the corner, and Fanyin felt as if a shadow flashed there and disappeared among the crowd in the downtown area.

Seeing Zhang Wenqing's playful gaze, Sanskrit responded in a low voice: "Okay, I understand this time..."
