Chapter 225 Looking for Opportunities

On the third day, Shi Zelan took the time to go outside the Taoist temple and take a look. The queue was indeed not that long.

Shi Zelan quickly turned around and entered. They were going back to the city today and were leaving the Taoist temple at Youshi.

At Youshi, brother and sister Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu left the Taoist temple. At this time, there was no one queuing outside the Taoist temple.

Shi Xiaoliu exhaled: "Fortunately, there are no people queuing up outside."

"There are no medicinal herbs left in the temple. Let's go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs in a few days and send a batch here?"

After hearing Shi Zelan's suggestion, Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Okay, let's wait for the imperial examination. Let’s go up the mountain on the second day.”

Xia Yu nodded: “I heard from the boy today that after the imperial examination, there will be a lot of excitement in the temple.”

"Sister Lan, did my uncle say when he will return to the city?"

Shi Zelan thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I didn't ask, and the master didn't say either."


They chatted for a while, and then the three of them went into their rooms to meditate.

They checked people entering and leaving the city more carefully.

Xia Yu laughed: "This time because of you, they can leave me and live in the temple with peace of mind.

After entering the city, there seemed to be fewer people on the streets. Many scholars were a little surprised.

It was dark and the lanterns outside the courtyard gate were swaying in the wind.

The three young people came to the yard and happened to hear Shi Xiaoliu, Shi Zelan and Xia Yu discussing what they had seen during the Taoist free clinic.

When the smoke rises from the kitchen, those who are interested will naturally see it.

I think the aura of this temple is very suitable for my father and uncle. "

After the three young people left, Xia Yu and Shi Xiaoliu said, "I actually don't mind the three of them walking together. "

After dawn the next day, Shi Zelan came out of the kitchen and saw Shi Xiaoliu walking in circles in the yard. He asked in surprise: "Xiao Liu, what problem are you thinking about?" ”

Shi Xiaoliu quickly changed the topic, and Xia Yu suddenly understood what Shi Xiaoliu meant.

The mountains are very unsafe and you have no experience in this area.

Have you heard from your father and uncle? "

They rushed into the city before the city gate was closed. They once again felt the rigorous attitude of the city gate officials in their work.

"My father and uncle have to wait until the day when the results are released. Enter the city. ”

They came in and sat for a while. After learning that Shi Xiaoliu and the others had plans to go up the mountain, they expressed their willingness to accompany them.

Next time, when we go to the mountains to collect herbs, we will definitely let the three of you know. "

Shi Zelan looked at the expression on Xia Yu's face: "Xia Yu, your father and uncle usually let you go like this, don't you need to be with them all the time? "

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu exchanged glances and said to the three of them: "This time we are going to the mountains to collect herbs.

They returned to the yard. Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu cleaned the front and rear yards, while Shi Zelan entered the kitchen.

"I know you don't mind, but with the three of them here, we have to worry a little bit.

Shi Xiaoliu laughed: "I have been busy for three days, and I am free today. Something is not right. adapt. "

Shi Zelan looked at him and shook his head: "If I keep busy, I won't be able to adapt. "

In the morning, Xiao Yingzi came over and called Shi Zelan: "Xiao Lanzi, let's go discuss the matter of setting off early tomorrow morning. "

Shi Zelan jumped up: "Okay. ”

She walked out of the courtyard and saw Xiao Yingzi and Xiao Qiuhua waiting outside the courtyard. She suddenly became happy.

"Are you all going to send that brother to the examination room?" The little girls smiled and nodded one by one: "We want to ask that aunt's opinion. If their family members mind, we will Think of something else."

Shi Zelan followed them to the house and saw the branches sticking out of the yard door. She and the little girls were standing at the door of the yard.

Xiao Yingzi knocked on the courtyard door. She saluted the woman who opened the courtyard door: "Auntie, we came here to ask.

Tomorrow, the brother from that family will take the exam. We want to send that brother to the examination room, okay? "

The woman looked at the little ladies. She naturally recognized Shi Zelan and nodded immediately: "Okay.

It’s just that he left early, so when you come, follow him. "

Xiao Qiuhua said with a blushing face: "Auntie, we will follow that brother quietly and we will never make a noise with that brother. ”

Shi Zelan looked at Xiao Qiuhua in surprise, why did she blush inexplicably?

The group of them quickly left the house, and on the way back, someone asked Xiao Qiuhua out of curiosity: "What did you blush for just now?"

Xiao Qiuhua blushed and said, "I'm happy."

Xiao Yingzi asked her in a low voice: "I heard someone said that your marriage has been planned?"

Xiao Qiuhua glanced at Xiao Yingzi: "My mother-in-law said, there is no news for a day. Once it’s settled, we can’t talk about it outside.”

At the mouth of the well, the little girls had their own things to do, so they dispersed like this.

Xiao Yingzi and Shi Zelan were walking home. She whispered to Shi Zelan: "Xiao Qiuhua is a very shy person who blushes easily."

Shi Zelan nodded in agreement, and Xiao Qiuhua blushed. But her eyes were very clear.

Shi Zelan entered the yard and invited Xiao Yingzi to sit in the yard.

Xiao Yingzi entered the yard. After she and Shi Zelan sat down in the corner of the yard, she said to Shi Zelan: "Xiao Lanzi, I just have news to tell you."

Shi Zelan He sat upright and said, "Xiao Yingzi, what news do you want to tell me?"

"Do you remember the lake you swam in?"

Shi Zelan nodded: "Of course I remember, the officials came to ask us about our lake swam."

Xiao Yingzi approached Shi Zelan and whispered Said: "We heard that a few years ago, there was an official who never returned home after going out in the morning.

Some people said that he eloped with a beautiful widow in the city."
< br>Shi Zelan looked at Xiao Yingzi with wide eyes: "That beautiful widow disappeared at the same time?"

Xiao Yingzi nodded: "But some officials said that this official was investigating the case, and he was very good at investigating the case."

"What was discovered, and then he was harmed by the people behind the scenes? "

After listening to Shi Zelan's words, Xiao Yingzi sighed: "Now everyone is saying that it is God's fault that Guan Ye can come up this time.

Two big rocks were tied up, and his official seal came up with him."

"Xiao Yingzi, has the government issued an official document?"

Xiao Yingzi shook his head: "Not yet.

But the official family requires the officials to strictly investigate the cause of the official's death."

"Do the officials have anything to do with the beautiful widow? Are you checking?"

Xiao Yingzi came closer to Shi Zelan and whispered: "Everyone said that the widow was a vixen. I heard that she was very beautiful.

And the neighbors didn't know it. Where did the widow go? ”

"Is there a possibility that the widow knows something and she took the opportunity to elope with a stranger?"
