Lu Miao wanted to stand quietly by the roadside, lower his eyebrows and lower his eyelashes and recite the scriptures silently. When he suddenly heard the sound of "Zeng Yu is polite", he couldn't help but tremble and suddenly raised his head. Although Zeng Yu in front of him was full of dust, he was still heroic and his gentle smile was very contagious, especially those eyes, which made people feel sincere and trustworthy-

Lu Miaoxiang was instantly lost his mind, then his face turned like frost, turned his back to Zeng Yu and others, chanting Buddha's name continuously, and clearly he did not want to pay attention to Zeng Yu.

Sixi also recognized this beautiful nun. Seeing the young master coming forward to greet him, he hurriedly followed him and sang a fat look: "Mr. Lu is lucky and Jin An, the young Sixi is polite."

Lu Miaoxiang was a kind and polite woman. Although she had resentment towards Zeng Yu, Shutong Sixi had never offended her. She turned around and recited the Buddha's name, nodded to Sixi, and then turned around.

Zeng Yu and Sixi master and servant arrived at Jichang Garden in the afternoon and gave some land arts from Guangxin Mansion to Yan Shaoqing's mother Cao. Cao told him that he had informed Lu Miaoxiang about his engagement, so Zeng Yu was mentally prepared and said, "Is Mr. Lu going to Yuqing Hall to pick up Miss Yingzi? Xiaosheng was about to visit Mr. Fangtang.

The setting sun shone in the evening breeze, Lu Miaoxiang's wide black robe whirled slightly, and his slender and delicate body seemed to be weak. The neck exposed on the black round neckline was white and slender, and he still didn't look back. He just said lightly: "Young Master Zeng, let's go our own way." Standing there without moving means that Zeng Yu and the others left first.

Yan Shaoqing's confidant Yan Jian and Fan Huyuan were following Zeng Yu from Jichang Garden to Jiechang Garden. Seeing that Zeng Yu was embarrassed, they were inevitably embarrassed. Yan Jian said, "Mr. Zeng, let's go first."

Zeng Yu knew that he could not explain anything to Lu Miao at this time, so he had to say, "Mr. Lu, then I'm going to the village first. When I came to Fenyi this time, I went to the village to visit several Lu clans and brought some local products from Jinxi, and sent them to Mr. Lu later." After that, he walked slowly by the horse, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Walking through the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, the afterglow of the sunset was blocked by the towering ancient camphor camphor in the village. The dusk was like a crow spreading its wings and flying down. Villagers kept bowing to Zeng Yu to greet Zeng Yu, and some villagers even followed Zeng Yu to ask about Zeng Yu's encounter with the thief last year, and were amazed.

When they came to the Yan clan's Yuqing Hall, the school had already dispersed. When the students heard that Mr. Zeng came, they gathered under the camphor tree outside the gate to wait. When they saw Zeng Yu coming, they flocked to him and greeted him with great enthusiasm.

Yan Shaoqing, who was sixteen years old, was more reserved. Although he was very happy, he did not crowd in front of Zeng Yu like other Yan's children. He and his cousin Yan Shifang stood on the steps in front of the hall, looking at Mr. Zeng with a smile.

Yan Shifang finally spoke: "Okay, okay, don't bother Mr. Zeng anymore, you all go to their own homes."

The students and villagers dispersed a little, and Zeng Yu then greeted Yan Shifang and Yan Shaoqing's uncle and nephew. Yan Shifang ordered the servant to quickly return to Ruizhutang and ask the house to prepare two more dishes. He wanted to have a drink with Zeng Yu.

Zeng Yu looked around and didn't see Yingzi, so he followed Yan Shifang to Ruizhutang and walked past the big camphor tree. He noticed that Yan Shifang's young girl Yan Wan'er looked back while walking, and turned around and saw a beautiful girl's face at the gate of Yuqingtang, which suddenly disappeared like a stunning fountain.

That is Yingzi. Seeing Zeng Yu coming and not being hurt by bandits, her style is still better than the past. Yingzi was very happy. She did not resent Zeng Yu because Zeng Yu had already been engaged. She just saw other students laughing and cheering around Zeng Yu, but she could no longer meet like before. She felt hurt.

Seeing Zeng Yu leaving with Mr. Fangtang, Yingzi slowly walked back to the back door of Yuqing Hall. Aunt Lu Miaoxiang was already waiting there. Yingzi said, "Mom, Mr. Zeng is back."

Lu Miaoxiang nodded, helped Yingzi hold the book box, turned around and walked back, and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Zeng is here to meet Shaoqing and the others. He is going to Nanchang soon, and he probably won't come in the future."

The girl said with a "oh" sound, and she followed her aunt Lu Miaoxiang out of the village. Not far away, the maple forest treetops were still stained with the afterglow of the setting sun, showing a faint redness. These two very beautiful women slowly walked into the maple forest.

Zeng Yu and Yan Shifang had dinner in the Ruizhu Hall dining room, and Yan Shaoqing was also here. Uncle and nephew must first ask Zeng Yu about his experience of meeting thieves when he returned to his hometown before the New Year. Zeng Yu said roughly that Yan Shifang praised Zeng Yu as resourceful, and Yan Shaoqing admired Mr. Zeng Yu and Zeng;

Speaking of Zeng Yu's engagement, Yan Shaoqing said regretfully: "My father means that Mr. Zeng will pass the Jinshi next year, so he can marry Xiaozi's sister--"

"I won't talk about this." Yan Shifang interrupted Yan Shaoqing. Zeng Yu was already engaged, so what's the use of these.

Zeng Yu said: "Miss Yingzi is beautiful and quiet, and she is indeed a rare good woman. She has taught her poetry and books for a few days. When she first met her, she was still young, so she didn't have the love of her brothers and sisters. She was like I was so close to Master Shaoqing, and in the low family, Minister Yan promised me to pass the Jinshi before I could marry Miss Yingzi. This was tantamount to letting me take Mount Tai and surpass Beihai. The imperial examination was difficult. Many people with good learning and talent were trapped in the field and could not succeed. Who am I? I just wanted to have a provincial examination and a test of the test." Yan Shifang, Yan Shaoqing's uncle and nephew knew that what Zeng Jiuli really loved was actually Lu Miaoxiang.

After hearing Zeng Yu’s comment on the difficulty of the imperial examination, Yan Shifang was deeply touched. He had not even passed the qualification to take the provincial examination in the current examination. Time passed, and he couldn’t help but sigh: “Yes, it’s difficult to seek fame and fame in the imperial examination, but it’s harder than to go to the sky.”

Yan Shaoqing really wanted to be Zeng Yu's brother-in-law, and said, "Although my father asked Mr. Zeng to pass the imperial examination, as long as Mr. Zeng can pass the imperial examination this year, and my uncle and my mother have a good talk, the marriage will still have great hope. Of course, there is no need to say these now. The student respects Mr. Zeng and wishes Mr. Zeng a cup of high school in the provincial examination this year."

Since Yan Shaoting went to Nanjing, the intrigue in Qianshantang has disappeared. Yan Shaoqing, who has been suppressed by Yan Shaoting for a long time, was getting cheerful and his expression and words became much more vivid. He was no longer the young man with a gloomy expression when he first met.

Speaking of going to Nanchang, Yan Shaoqing said: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed. Mr. Zeng can set off at any time when he arrives."

Yan Shifang said: "Zeng Sheng arrived here for a long distance from Xinzhou. The journey was exhausted. Of course, he had to rest for a few days before going to Nanchang."

Zeng Yu was resting in Qianshan Hall that night. It was really hard to travel for half a month. After taking a bath, he chatted with Yan Shaoqing for a while and went to rest. According to the routine of Ba Duan Jin Jinqiu, everything was silent when he untied his clothes and fell asleep. This ancient countryside also fell asleep under the thick night. Zeng Yu was not sleepy. Looking at the few rays of moonlight leaking in the window, he got up and opened the window partition. The sparse stars were faint, and half of the bright moon had already set in the west. Imagine that the wooden houses in Maple Tree Bay under the moonlight should be extremely quiet. Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi fell asleep. It was so deserted to leave the village.

Zeng Yu held his head with his hands on his pillow. Thinking of Lu Miaoxiang's coldness towards him at dusk, he felt mixed feelings. He really wanted to run to the Maple Forest House to meet Lu Miaoxiang at this time, but what did he explain? He felt that he did nothing wrong. Yingzi was still young, and he couldn't marry him just if he wanted to, because Yan Shifan obviously looked down on him. He would be a daydream to pass the Jinshi next year. Of course, there was also a dream come true, but it was really a little slim. His mother was anxious about his marriage. In the Ming Dynasty, a 21-year-old man had not gotten married or had gotten engaged.

He was not wrong, and Lu Miao Xiang and Yingzi were certainly not wrong. Who was wrong? What was wrong was the evil old society.

Zeng Yu smiled in the darkness, calmed his mind and fell asleep slowly.

The next morning, when the light appeared, Zeng Yu got up and washed up, practiced Baduan Jin in the courtyard, and played several ancestral secrets. At this time, Yan Shaoqing also got up and asked, "What is Mr. Zeng practicing?"

Zeng Yu said: "My ancestors of the Zeng family have always been Feng Shui Geography Masters who have traveled to the world to make a living. These are the ancestors' ways of doing things. You can fight away when you encounter a little thief."

Yan Shaoqing said: "Then please teach me too, Mr. Zeng."

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "What are you learning this? Mr. Fang Tang and Lingtang will blame me for misleading people's children. Just practice Ba Duan Jin diligently, and it's good to strengthen your body."

Yan Shaoqing said happily: "I was about to tell Mr. Zeng that since Mr. Zeng taught me the eight-section brocade guidance technique, I have not made any progress in the first few months. One night after the New Year, I suddenly understood it. I felt that my spirit was strong and my diet had increased a lot. My mother said that my complexion was better than before and I grew taller."

Zeng Yuxin said, "Is this really the credit of Ba Duan Jin? You are sixteen years old in the new year, and you have increased appetite and strong blood. This is normal for you to grow up." He nodded and said, "It's great, you have to persevere." He looked up at the sky and said, "Young Master Shaoqing will accompany me to Fengshuwan. When I came to Fenyi this time, I met the Lu clan members. The Lu clan members asked me to bring a message and some local products from Jinxi to Niangzi and Miss Yingzi. There are some things I want to explain to them."

Yan Shaoqing also looked solemn and nodded, "I'll go with Mr. Zeng, will I go now?"

Zeng Yu said, "Well, go now." He ordered Sixi to bring the Jinxi earth arts with them, including yellow gardenia, lotus root candy, Magu dates, Qingming Baicha Ruoyu, and Baishe Kiln tea set.

Yan Shaoqing called his confidant Jian servant Yan Jian to go with him. The four of them left Jieqiao Village and headed for Fengshuwan.

The sun has not yet risen, the clear sky is green, the spring breeze is swaying, the rape flowers in the fields are bright yellow and brilliant, the clear Jiexi River flows into the Maple Tree Bay, and the four of them are walking around the stream, passing the Yan Family Waste Temple, in front of it is a single-plank bridge. I saw Yingzi carrying a wooden barrel and holding water by the stream. It was still early, Yingzi had not washed yet, her long black and fine hair was scattered between her waist and hips, and the water lifting movement was graceful and orderly. What's amazing is that there are two butterflies flying around her. Yingzi is not busy carrying water back to the house, and she blew hard to the butterfly flying in front of her. The butterfly was blown to the point of falling to the water surface.

When the smiling Yingzi looked up and saw Zeng Yu and the other four people suddenly came, she was shocked. The wooden barrel filled with water slid from her hands and rolled into the stream. Yan Jian quickly took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers and stepped into the stream to pick up the wooden barrel, and walked to the other side. Zeng Yu, Yan Shaoqing and Sixi also came from the single-plank bridge at this time.

Yingzi saluted Zeng Yu and Yan Shaoqing, her pretty face flushed, and she was a little panicked, feeling embarrassed when she had not yet washed her face, and she was almost crying.

Zeng Yu hurriedly said, "Miss Yingzi, please bring the water back first, let's wait here for a while."

Yingzi agreed and hurriedly carried half a bucket of water back to the wooden house.

Yan Shaoqing said to Zeng Yuyu: "Mr. Zeng, I am walking by the stream, so I won't go to the wooden house to meet Aunt Lu and Xiaozi." As he said that, he asked Yan Jian to cross the single-plank bridge with him and walk towards the Yan family's abandoned temple.

Zeng Yu’s servant was waiting by the single-plank bridge. After less than a moment, Yingzi quickly walked over. The girl had already combed her long hair into two hairs without applying any makeup. She was clean water and had a shy expression. She said respectfully: "Mr. Zeng, my mother invites you to go--Where is Young Master Shaoqing?"

Zeng Yudao: "Shaoqing is taking a walk on the other side of the stream."

Yingzi said with a "Oh": "Mr. Zeng, come with me." It seemed like Zeng Yu was here in this maple wood house for the first time.

Sixi followed the young master with a large basket of Jinxi local products. He now understood the relationship between the young master and the beautiful girl in front of him, and thought to himself: "The young master is engaged to Miss Zhang, Longhushan, and can't marry you. Alas, it's a pity. As a concubine, I'm afraid your Yan family will not agree."

When he arrived outside the wood door of the wooden house, he saw Lu Miaoxiang standing under the eaves without wearing a cloth hat. His black strands were faintly glowing with green light. His bald head was very beautiful, and his expression was neither resentful nor angry. He was a little indifferent. Si Xi first saluted and placed the bamboo basket under the steps. He first retreated to the wood door, then retreated to the wood door, standing under a locust tree, with his back facing the wooden house. He thought in his heart that he didn't know what the young master would say to Mr. Lu and Miss Yingzi, but Yingzi also walked out of the bamboo fence, nodded to him, and walked to the other side.

In the small wooden house, Lu Miao wanted to invite Zeng Yu to sit down and cook tea to treat each other, but he didn't say much. He just asked, "Has my uncle returned from Raozhou? Are the other tribesmen still safe?" Lu Miao Xiang's uncle went to Raozhou in early autumn last year, and Lu Yuanwai's second son was appointed as the magistrate of Raozhou.

Zeng Yu said: "There is nothing else in the Lu clan in Qingtian. Uncle Ling is still in Raozhou. I just heard that he had a disease of wind and was unable to move."

Lu Miaoxiang no longer had family affection for the uncle who pushed her sister into the fire pit. When he learned that his uncle was hemiplegic, he just said "hmm" without much sympathy. He said lightly: "Please go back, Mr. Zeng, thank you for the news about the local products in my hometown and my tribe." As he said that, Heshi saluted and saw the guests off.

Zeng Yu sat still and said, "I have never forgotten what I promised Madam Lu."

Lu Miaoxiang's original expression was indifferent, his tone was calm and soothing, and he did not show any anger. Zeng Yu's words were like Yu Chai Liehuo, which made her mood suddenly burn. Her two beautiful willow eyebrows were raised slanted, her eyes as clear as autumn water were glaring, and her voice was low: "Since you have let my Xiaozi down, why do you still make the promises you have made?"

Zeng Yudao: "I will fulfill my promise."

Lu Miaoxiang's slightly pale and delicate face turned red in anger, and he suppressed his anger and said, "What does Mr. Zeng mean?"
