On the outskirts of Yuezhou City, there are many lush trees, and a thatched house is located among them. In the house, a young man in his twenties lifted off the fence and said to the middle-aged man in Xuanyi who was carrying him on his back: "Father" , Xing Jian was careless."

This young man was Bai Xingjian, the man Ye Zelin and Yu Chisu were tracking, and the middle-aged man in Xuanyi with his back turned to him was his adoptive father Bai Yanlang.

Bai Yanlang was six feet and one inch tall and exuded a fierce aura. His eyes were different from others, full of calculation and ferocity. He said: "You are indeed careless. They have discovered you and will definitely search the whole city. We We need to fight quickly, kill the Minister of Punishment as soon as possible, and I will look for the account book."

They came to Yuezhou on orders from their Lord for two purposes: one was to prevent the court from pursuing Cheng Wenbo's case and kill Yu Xuanji; the other was to find the account book in Cheng Wenbo's hand, which recorded how Cai Yuanchang, the governor of Dongting, had embezzled, accepted bribes, and looted. How many people are fattened by the people, how much profit is made from trafficking in people, etc. This ledger was originally in the hands of Cai Yuanchang, but was stolen by Cheng Wenbo. As far as they knew, the ledger should still be in the Cheng family, but the specific location was not yet known.

Bai Xingjian nodded and said, "My child understands."

May 11th was the day when Lu Youqi, the third son of the Lu family, married Queen Luo, the Minister of War. When Hua Fushu, Mrs. Ouyang, Dugu Lanxi, and Ruhua arrived at the Lu Mansion, they saw the Lu Mansion decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and they were very happy. When they got into the car, someone showed them the door. The palace is like a market, with jade belts with green lapels, red clothes with green sleeves, and sparse flowers. I can't help but sigh. This Lu family deserves to be the most noble family in the Song Dynasty. The invitation to marry a concubine was all from the court. When she married Ye Zelin, the invitation was The guests are not even close to this third.

The young woman wearing a lilac-colored gown and looking dignified and generous came over to greet Mrs. Ouyang and others. This young woman is Mrs. Hua Ping's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhuang. Mrs. Zhuang smiled and said: "Aunt Ouyang, you are here so quickly."

Mrs. Ouyang looked at the people in the yard and said with a smile: "It's not too early for me to arrive. Look at General Zhao's family and Shanda's family. They came early." She looked at Hua Fushu again and joked, "This little daughter-in-law of mine and Your girl Tianyun fell in love with her as soon as she met her, and she has been urging her to come, and she has been delayed until now."

Being teased by Mrs. Ouyang, Hua Fushu looked slightly embarrassed. Mr. Zhuang glanced at her and couldn't help laughing, "Sister, wait a moment. Let's have tea first. I'll invite Sister Yun'er over later."

Hua Fushu was about to answer, but Mrs. Ouyang said: "Niece-in-law, there is no need to invite Miss Tianyun over. There are many people here. We haven't seen each other for a while. I'm afraid I have a lot to say. Why don't you ask someone to take her there?" Find Miss Tianyun."

Hua Fushu responded: "Sister is very busy, don't worry about me. I'm just thinking about meeting Tianyun. Sister, just ask someone to take me to Tianyun's place."

Mr. Zhuang originally thought that it would be inappropriate to let Hua Fushu go to Lu Tianyun without entertaining her. Seeing that she was polite and sweet, she agreed and called a maid: "Xinyan, this lady is a good friend of sister Yun'er. Take her with you." See sister Yun'er in Youlan Pavilion."

The girl named Xinyan was the maid in Lu Tianyun's house. Because the third son of the Lu family was getting married, she was sent to work by Lu Tianyun. She came over and made a gesture of invitation: "Madam, please come with me."

Hua Fushu was about to go to Lu Tianyun's place with Xinyan, but Mrs. Ouyang warned: "Hua'er, be careful and don't hit anyone."

She nodded in agreement before following Xinyan to the backyard, with Sanqiao following her.

Xinyan led the way and asked shortly after arriving: "Is your lady the young lady of Ye Mansion?"

Hua Fushu only recognized Lu Tianyun and Bisi, but not Xinyan. He was slightly startled when he heard her words, "Miss, do you know my identity?"

Xinyan smiled and said: "I am the girl from Youlan Pavilion, serving Miss Tianyun. My girl's friends in the boudoir all recognize her, but I have never met the lady. And she is with the general's wife, so the servants know that the lady is my family." The chivalrous girl the girl talks about."

chivalrous woman?

Hua Fushu naturally knew what Xinyan was referring to. That time she drew her sword to help when the road was rough, but she never expected to see Lu Tianyun as a friend. She smiled lightly and said, "Girl, let's go."

Xinyan then led the way, and after passing two moon cave gates, Sanqiao said: "Girl, do you think there will be a carp pond in the Shangshu Mansion? The colorful carps are like the clouds on the horizon."

Hearing this, Xinyan smiled and said: "As you said, we really have a carp pond in our house. There are koi carps in the pond. They are colorful and beautiful."

Sanqiao asked tentatively: "Girl, let's go and have a look later, okay?"

Hua Fushu knew what Sanqiao was thinking. He was afraid that she would like to fly to the carp pond to watch the carp, so he said, "I'd better let you feast your eyes first."

Sanqiao was overjoyed.

Hua Fushu and Xinyan said, "Girl, let's go to the carp pond first, and we'll look for Tian Yun later."

Xinyan took the two of them to the carp pond, which was already surrounded by people.

The carp pond was crowded with pretty girls and dignified and elegant young women, looking at the colorful koi in the pond, filled with laughter and joy.

"Princess, look, does that koi look like the Shu brocade that was sent as tribute from Shu?" Miss Xijun, the youngest daughter of the Yan family, wearing an apricot red double-breasted skirt, pointed to a koi in the water and the eldest princess of Xinyang beside her. road.

The eldest princess of Xinyang, Zhao Yinong, was wearing a rouge-colored dress and her hair was in a bun. The crystal tassels hanging down from her two butterfly-loving flower steps were shining brightly. She was holding a colorful butterfly and peony fan in her hand, which looked a bit... Gentle and pleasant, her appearance is not outstanding, but because of her different status, she is also a dazzling presence in the crowd.

Today is the wedding of her third cousin Lu Youqi. She was bored in the palace and coaxed her mother with good words before she agreed to let her leave the palace and come to the Lu Mansion.

She said: "This koi is the same species as the carp in the imperial pond in the palace. Shu brocade is a noble among carps, so what does it mean?"

Yan Xijun smiled flatteringly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess said that the Sichuan brocade is not as valuable as this koi."

Zhao Yinong called the servant to get the fish food. After a while, the servant brought the fish food. She took it and sprinkled it into the carp pond little by little. The colorful carp surfaced and competed for food, which made everyone laugh.

Suddenly, a female voice with laughter came, "Qiao'er, look at this scene, isn't it what you wrote in those few lines of your poem? There are thousands of koi in the pond, colorful and covered with clouds. Both sides of the bank are laughing and green. Skirt, birds from ten miles away are vying to come first.”

The voice sounded familiar. Zhao Yinong suddenly looked over and saw that the person was wearing a sky-blue skirt and an incense bun with Chaoyun in her arms. Her face was fair and her face was delicate. This face was clearly the Hua Fushu she least wanted to see. !

Hua Fushu was stunned. She did not expect to meet the eldest princess in the Lu Mansion. She suddenly thought that Shangshu Ling was her biological uncle and the third son of the Lu family was her cousin. It was not surprising that she appeared in the Lu Mansion.

She remembered that the first time she met the eldest princess was at the General's Mansion. She was on good terms with Ruhua, and for Ruhua's sake, she slapped her. At that time, the slap really hurt her!
