Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 116 An Inevitable Encounter
For several days in a row, Wang Xiu was studying in the prison dormitory. The business was naturally run by Lu Yao, leaving a few hundred guan for him to use, and seven thousand guan for Wanshixing to issue pledge notes. Wang Qing in Shangshui County With this ticket, you can withdraw cash at Wanshixing Chenzhou branch.

Lu Yao also returned to Shangshui by boat, and this guy returned home happily. He was invited by Shopkeeper Shen to eat at the restaurant for several days in a row.

What happened to the scattered tables?You want to eat at a casual table, but they won't let you in!
Wang Xiu is also careful about budgeting. It is convenient to have a servant by your side, but it costs a lot. Food, clothing, housing and transportation don’t cost money. Meals are also delivered to the house.

On this day, he went to the Xiangyutang to take a good bath, took a jug of good wine, bought roasted wild duck meat, pork skin and some vegetables, and prepared to go back to the house to eat.

When he came to the door of the cell, he touched the key to open the door and was about to enter, when he suddenly shouted softly from behind: "You don't look behind when you walk."

Wang Xiu was so startled that she almost dropped the jug, turned around and saw that it was the little girl in Tsing Yi from a few days ago, smiling and looking at him with her hands behind her back.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "So it's you!"

"Yes!" The little girl was still smiling, staring at Wang Xiu with her beautiful eyes.

"What's up?"

"You are so rude, look at the big moves here and there, that look can kill people, so don't ask me to talk about it." The little girl rolled her eyes.

Only now did Wang Xiu notice the malicious gazes of the scholars, frowned and said, "Come in."

The little girl entered the house, looked around with her hands behind her back, and muttered: "The Imperial College is too stingy, how can people live in this place."

Wang Xiu put down the food and drink, and said with a wry smile: "You think it would be nice to have a place to live if we came here for fun, and how many of us can afford to live in Yuxian Zhengdian."

"That makes sense." The little girl nodded old-fashionedly with a puffy face.

Wang Xiu looked at the little girl carefully, but saw that she was delicate, pretty and cute, and she felt a little fond of her, and asked, "What's your name?"

The little maid raised her eyebrows, stared at Wang Xiu and said, "Have you ever asked your daughter's name like this?"

Wang Xiu pinched her nose and said with an embarrassed smile: "Hey, you follow me, so I can't ask your name?"

The little maid rolled her eyes and said, "My name is Qing Jun, and I'm my second sister's chambermaid."

"Your second sister." Wang Xiu thought of the moment when he looked back, a picture engraved in his heart, and couldn't help but froze.

"Ahem, you are such an idiot. Seeing your posture of bowing immediately, am I wrong?" The little girl stared at Wang Xiu with a pair of beautiful eyes, with a strange expression on her face.

Wang Xiu was despised by a girl, so embarrassed to the extreme, she coughed twice to cover up: "This, this, oh, Qingjun, what do you want from me?"

"It's really something." Qingjun looked at Wang Xiu anxiously, pouted his mouth and said, "My second sister asked me to come, I want to thank you for your kindness that day."

"Grace, it's a little effort, there's nothing I can't thank you for." Wang Xiu recalled that stunning face, and said politely.

Qingjun rolled his eyes at Wang Xiu, and said: "Don't tell me, my second sister had two guards with her, and they were outside and had no time to make a move, so you were asked to present a hero."

"Are you here to thank me, or to scold me?" Wang Xiu laughed, feeling that Qing Jun was very interesting.

Qingjun blinked, and said strangely: "My second sister will go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow without any attendants."

Wang Xiu didn't react, she looked at Qing Jun in surprise, and didn't speak for a long time.

"I want to thank you personally, I'm so stupid, idiot." Qing Jun gouged out Wang Xiu's eyes, a faint blush flew up on his face, he turned and ran out.

Beauty meet?Wang Xiu recalled, took a breath, and put aside the plain noodles that he couldn't forget, he really wanted a chance encounter.

When his heart was surging, the figure of Youqin Moyan flashed in front of his eyes, and his agitated heart suddenly cooled down.

The next day, he did go to the Daxiangguo Temple, but he stood looking at each other from a distance, and saw a woman in white wearing a hat and a maid in red. After lingering for a long time and entering the gate of the temple, he turned and left in a sense of loss, feeling in a mess.

The two thoughts are constantly at war, one is the strong urge to take another look, and the other is not to be half-hearted and provoke the voice of unreasonable debt.

oops!It's really hard to make a choice, but you have to make a choice. It's obvious that the woman in white is either rich or expensive, so it's better not to provoke her at critical moments.Wang Xiu chose to avoid it, even if it was purely for the sake of thanking others, he didn't want to make extra troubles. There is still a month to go before the Ministry of Rites exam, so it's time to settle down and study hard.

However, my heart couldn't sink no matter what, I wanted to go back to study but I was not in the mood, so I turned to the south of the Xiangguo Temple Bridge on the Bian River unconsciously, and sat at a window seat in a small teahouse by the river, and asked for a hot pot. Dragon and phoenix group tea, drink it yourself.

When he sat for a long time, he decided in his heart that fame is the most important thing. If he succeeds, he will return to Shangshui to marry Youqin Moyan, pay the money, and walk on the road on the south bank of the Bianhe River in a good mood.

Pedestrians on both sides are in a hurry, the path beside the Bian River is a scenic river, it is not night yet, few people seem to come to the river to stroll, only a few small boats carry goods to and fro.

Wang Xiu sank her head and thought about her thoughts, walked forward slowly with her hands behind her back, and when she looked at Bianhe and turned her head, she was stunned.

Two zhang away in front of the river, a woman in a mat hat and white clothes was standing pretty by the river, and Qing Jun was beside her, with those beautiful eyes full of anger, she pinched her waist and stared at him.

"You are so unreasonable, I told you, and there is no one there."

Wang Xiu blushed, and when his eyes fell on the woman in white, he could feel the eyes behind the veil staring at him.

"What am I talking to you about? What an idiot." Qing Jun pouted, looking cute as if he wanted to eat people.

"Qingjun, wait for me there."

Wang Xiu listened to Huang Ying's crisp voice, and she was stunned, even turning a blind eye to Qing Jun's eyes as she walked past.

"My family thanked the officials." The woman in white gave a gentle blessing.

"Young lady, you're welcome." Wang Xiu hastily cupped her fists and bowed to return the salute, but her gaze was evasive, and finally fell on the light veil.

A gust of breeze blew by, and a corner of the gauze was gently raised. With a stilted nose, full red lips, delicate chin, and a complexion like winter snow, there was not even a trace of pink and black. He was like a banished fairy from Toad Palace. Surprised, he lowered his head involuntarily.

"I burned incense at the Daxiangguo Temple, and came to Bianhe to have a look when I went home. I didn't want to meet the officials, so I fulfilled my slave's wish."

Wang Xiu raised his head and took a deep look at Yi Ren. He didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he said something he couldn't believe, and said, "The scenery of the Bian River is beautiful, how about taking a walk together?"

"Thanks to the officials for not abandoning Puliu."

When Wang Xiu was taken aback by his own words, he was almost stunned by the answer from the woman in white.

However, the white-clothed woman's plain hands were raised upwards, gently lifting the veil and hanging it on the brim of the mat hat, revealing her peerless and gorgeous face.

Wang Xiu sighed softly, couldn't bear to look any further, isn't she beautiful?Seeing that the eyebrows are silent and affectionate, the oval face is suitable for anger and joy, and the pair of smart eyes are just right, with a touch of elegant flow, and the white dress further sets off the beauty.

It's not that a beauty is not beautiful, but that she is so beautiful. If you have to describe it, Youqin Moyan is a refined orchid in the empty valley, and she is the noble and elegant Chenzhou Zi.

The two walked silently beside the Bian River. Perhaps it was God's grace. There were very few pedestrians on the path they walked. Occasionally, one or two people passed by, and the woman in white also turned her side gently. However, it all fell into Wang Xiu's eyes.

At this moment, Wang Xiu's heart was not nervous at all, her whole person was in a kind of open-minded emptiness, and her behavior was quite natural, as if they were not meeting for the first time, but they had known each other for nearly a thousand years.

"I'm Shangshui Wangxiu, dare to ask the little lady's name?"

"My family's surname is Zhu, and the single name is Lian. The official is a Gongju from Chenzhou?" Zhu Lian stopped in his tracks, staring at Wang Xiu with a pair of wonderful eyes, with a strange color.

Wang Xiu nodded in doubt, and said softly, "Yes."

"So the theory of mind learning is also the masterpiece of officials?"

Only then did Wang Xiu understand that Zhu Lian had read the theory of mind learning, and that a woman also read purely academic books. Interested in?
"How dare you call it a masterpiece. I was bored in Shangshui County, and I happened to write some thoughts with Shen Mo of Wan Shi Xing's family."

"Ge Ge." Zhu Lian burst into a clear and delicate smile, like a blooming flower.

Wang Xiu blushed and said, "Isn't it?"

"It's really interesting to be a member, officials. If you join in, all the scholars in the world will throw themselves into the Bianhe River."

Zhu Lian's beautiful face was filled with a bright smile, causing Qing Jun who was following not far away to stretch out his sweet tongue, and said to himself: "Since that. Bah bah, second sister hasn't smiled happily for a while. gone."

Wang Xiu felt embarrassed, and said with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated."

Zhu Lian's wonderful eyes stared deeply at Wang Xiu, and said in a low voice: "An image is born according to one's heart, all beings are equal, all things come out of one's heart, and men and women are the same, it is the way of heaven. To be able to say this, officials are equal. Scholars are not like those who only know what they know all day long, who talk nonsense about the difference between men and women."

It turned out that I saw these!Wang Xiu smiled. He advocated equality between men and women in his book, and even silence was a bit awkward. Today, he met a bosom friend, and he said seriously: "This is how it was originally, and it may not be realized now, but I believe it will take hundreds of years. No. , if we work hard, it will be realized within a hundred years."

"Officer, what a lofty ambition!" Zhu Lian sighed softly, exuding the noble maiden Youlan.
