Happy Little Scholar

The second master of the Chen family, Chen Chong led dozens of guards from the Duke's Mansion, walked through the streets and alleys, and stormed the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion with great force. This incident caused quite a stir in Kyoto in the past two days.

The Marquis Mansion was attacked. To put it bluntly, this was a serious crime of losing one's head.

But if you think about it on a smaller scale, it can be so small that even the government doesn’t need to come forward.

The attacking party was from Chen Guogong's mansion, led by Chen Chong. When the incident occurred, there was a sensation in Kyoto.

However, this incident did not have serious consequences.

Although the gate of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion was demolished, the Yu family didn't say anything, and the government didn't bother to come to make them feel uncomfortable.

Yesterday's commotion was really quite big. Not only the Chen family and the Yu family, but also the Zeng family, the Cui family, the Qin family, and many officials from the King of Shu lineage all went to the Yu Mansion. Although I don't know how the matter was resolved later. , but the matter did not become a big deal and quickly subsided.

Li Yi knew about this yesterday, but he was only a little surprised. Fighting in a nest is a common practice among the kings of Shu, so it is not surprising.

He was listening to Xiao Cui complaining that yesterday someone made trouble in Buzhuang. Although they were kicked out later, they said some ugly words that even she couldn't bear to listen to.

The lady is very nice and kind, and she has taught her a lot. Now the clothes she sews are no longer so ugly.

"Who was making trouble yesterday?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.

Xiaocui thought for a while and said: "Who is Mr. Yu? It seems to be Marquis Ningyuan or something. I can't remember clearly..."

Li Yi was startled, Ning Yuanhou ------Why do these three words sound so familiar?

It seems that the head of the Yu family that the eldest princess is avoiding seeing is Ning Yuanhou. Ning Yuanhou seems to be the leading actor in the Nei Dou Sect incident that was still spreading in Kyoto this morning.

Yu family, things turned out to be such a coincidence...

If the Yu family bullies people like this, God will take care of it. He shook his head and asked Xiao Cui: "You just said, what happened to the lady who has been very close to your young lady in the past few days?" ?”

"Well..." Xiaocui blinked and said, "I met her last time at Cloth Shop. The lady was very good at sewing clothes. She taught her how to make children's clothes..."

"Do you know whose wife she is from?"

Although the two women have people protecting them, Li Yi doesn't want to give them the feeling of being monitored all the time. In addition to ensuring safety, he will not interfere in other matters.

Even so, a lady appeared beside her for no apparent reason, so she still had to find out the details.

"I don't know. I only know that her surname is Chen. The lady has never said it, and we can't ask directly. But, she usually comes out with many guards around her..."

Xiaocui blinked twice, patted her head, and said, "By the way, that lady is not very old, but her hair is all white. The maid called her, "Miss Third"..."

"Miss Third, whose surname is Chen, her hair is all white?" Li Yi was stunned, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

…

On the street, Zeng Zuimo and the white-haired woman walked side by side. The latter turned his head and looked at her and asked, "The Yu family won't make it difficult for you later, right?"

Zeng Zuimo shook his head and said, "No, this is Kyoto, they don't dare to act rashly."

"After all, the Yu family is powerful, so it's better to be careful." She warned and said, "If the Yu family gives you trouble in the future, you can come to Chen Guogong's mansion to find me."

Although the two have met several times in the past few days, due to their own reasons, they usually refer to each other as "Mrs. Chen" and "Miss Zeng", and they have not taken the initiative to reveal their identities. Zeng Zuimo has already guessed her from yesterday's incident. His identity is not ordinary, but he still didn't expect that it would be so extraordinary.

Even today's Zeng family cannot compare with a behemoth like the Chen family.

Quickly throwing these thoughts behind her, she nodded politely, glanced away, and suddenly realized that she was almost reaching Yangliu Lane. She stretched out her hand and pointed forward and said, "My home is here. In front, madam, would you like to come in and sit down?”

Hearing this, the white-haired woman hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"Isn't the girl from Kyoto?" As the two of them walked forward, the white-haired woman suddenly asked.

This area belongs to the downtown area, there are no deep houses and compounds, and officials and wealthy families would not choose to build their houses here. This Miss Zeng has an extraordinary temperament and conversation, and she has such a shop in Kyoto. She originally thought that the other party is also the daughter of such a family. Now it seems that this is not the case.

"I stayed in Kyoto for a few years when I was a kid, and then I went to other places. I only came back last year."

Zeng Zuimo told the story in one sentence. She didn't want to mention some memories about Kyoto to others, even including her name.

After all, more than ten years ago, the Zeng family was once prominent, but that Zeng family was a direct lineage, all the men died, and the women joined the Jiaofang Division. Everything here was extremely terrifying to her. remember.

The white-haired woman stopped asking. The two of them walked to an alley. Zeng Zuimo pointed inside with a smile and said, "It's right inside."

Above the alley entrance, there is a stone plaque with the three characters "Yangliu Lane" written on it.

The white-haired woman just glanced at it, then walked in side by side with Zeng Zuimo. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and murmured: "Willow Alley?"

As if remembering something, she turned back to look at Zeng Zuimo, with an expression that was a little disbelieving and a little hopeful, "Miss Zeng..., could it be Miss Zuimo from Yangliu Lane?"

Hearing her name from someone whose identity she had never revealed made her completely ignore that the "Willow Lane" in front of her was not the "eldest daughter of the Zeng family". Her body trembled and her face turned pale.

However, the expression on Mrs. Chen's face after she said these words was different from anything she had imagined.

Accident, surprise, even a little bit of..., love?

Just seeing her reaction, Chen Miaoyu knew that her guess was right. He held her hand with a smile on his face and said, "It turns out it's you. I should have asked this a long time ago. I should have asked it a long time ago." …”

Zeng Zuimo was a little confused by her reaction and asked doubtfully: "Mrs. Chen, you..., do you know me?"

Chen Miaoyu held her hand and said with a smile: "Let's go in and talk."

Zeng Zuimo was pulled by her and walked into the alley in a daze.

"Okay, I'm leaving first. When your young lady or Miss Ruoqing comes back, just tell them." In the small courtyard, Li Yi stood up, patted Xiao Cui's head and said, "I'll come next time." Then I’ll bring two glass mirrors for you and Xiaozhu.”

"Really!" Xiaocui's eyes were shining. She had been envious of the mirror in the young lady's room that could clearly reflect people's figures for a long time.

"Well, I keep my word." Li Yi walked to the door of the courtyard, turned back and waved, "Let's go."

He raised his hand to open the door, but the door was pushed open from the outside.

"I didn't expect that you knew before..."

Zeng Zuimo turned her head, and while talking to Mrs. Chen, she walked in and stepped onto the threshold. Suddenly something was pressed against her chest. She turned around, looked at Li Yi standing at the door, and lowered her head.

Looking at Miss Zeng and Miss Chen San standing at the door, Li Yi's mouth grew slightly. He could swear with his conscience that he really just wanted to open the door just now.

"You're back, what a coincidence..."

His expression remained unchanged, he straightened her clothes and said with a smile.
