Chapter 574 West Garden
Author: Loeva
The sea of people is huge. After Mr. Zhang escaped, it was not easy to find his traces. If he took the initiative to find him, it would be impossible to find him before he appeared.
However, if he approached the Huang family's aunt when she was out of town, there were so many people on the street that it would be difficult to block all the people approaching. If Mr. Zhang had a thicker skin and shouted in public about his unforgettable relationship with Huang Qingfang,
It will only make Huang Qingfang lose face again. Therefore, if his whereabouts can be known in advance and Qin Bai quietly sends people to control him without alerting outsiders, that would be the best result.
After Huang Qingfang learned the news, she suggested to her sister-in-law that she would not go out for the time being and stay in the inn. At the same time, she would send more family members to guard the yard. If Mr. Zhang got the letter and came to the inn, as soon as he showed up,
, the family members can rush forward and restrain him, saving a lot of trouble.
Mrs. Huang Jincheng understood her painstaking efforts, but she felt aggrieved for her sister-in-law. It was obviously the shameless Zhang named Zhang, so why should she let Huang Qingfang give up the opportunity to go out for fun just to set a trap for him to get in? She only advised her sister-in-law: "Fang
Sister, you don’t have to worry about this kind of thing. Your sister-in-law is here. Your brother-in-law has brought your brother’s soldiers, and they will be able to protect you. Just go out with your sister-in-law, play as you should, and eat as you should.
, Just buy whatever you need to buy. If that bastard named Zhang dares to get close to you, my sister-in-law guarantees that he will never come back! What's the use of hiding in the inn by yourself and not going out, just letting me have fun?
How capable can that man named Zhang be? Can I know that you didn’t follow me out? Naturally, he was about to run out when he saw our carriage, but the result is still the same? If you go out with me, maybe you can see him.
You look miserable now. He has done you a lot of harm, so you should take the opportunity to vent your anger!" But he was clearly encouraging his sister-in-law to take the opportunity to take revenge on Young Master Zhang.
Huang Qingfang was a little dumbfounded, but she knew in her heart that her sister-in-law was thinking about herself, so she stopped insisting. However, when choosing places to go out for fun, she consciously chose a few places with beautiful scenery but quiet environment - meaning there were few people.
. This was not only to make it easier for the guards of the Qin and Huang families to take people, but also to prevent Mr. Zhang from shouting and talking nonsense before she was gagged, which would damage her reputation again.
The Huang family's aunts and sisters went out for several days with the intention of fishing. Probably because of the family scandal, they did not call Mrs. Niu. It happened that Mrs. Niu was not very interested in the temple they went to, so she stayed at the inn.
To rest, I occasionally go out with my husband Qin Bai to a nearby teahouse to drink tea, eat snacks, and listen to Pingtan, which feels quite comfortable.
However, Qin Hanzhen had been immersed in practicing painting with Zhao Mo in the study for a few days. She was very quiet and restless, and wanted to go out to play again. She heard that the Huang family's aunt was going to Xiyuan Temple to offer incense tomorrow, and she remembered that in modern times
When I traveled to Suzhou, I seemed to have missed this scenic spot. I thought it was quite new, so I decided to go there too.
Qin Bai didn't object: "The scenery in that place is pretty good. Since you want to go, go and have a look. I don't have to worry about you if the Huang family is traveling with you." But he had made an appointment with someone in advance and was going out tomorrow.
It’s nice to spend time with my granddaughter.
Qin Han was really overjoyed. But Niu couldn't help complaining: "Everyone of you has something to do, so am I the only one left? It's boring for me to stay alone in the inn."
Qin Hanzhen hugged her arm with a smile and said, "If grandma feels bored, would you like to play with me?"
Mr. Niu glanced at her: "That's all, I'm too lazy to run that errand. As soon as I heard what Sister Fang and the others said, I knew it was a long way there. I'm an old man and can't afford it. You should also be more careful.
"When you go out with others, don't be as casual as you are in front of your own family. Be sweet, be polite, and don't make arbitrary demands. Just do as the host does."
Qin Hanzhen smiled and agreed one by one.
At this time, Zhao Mo raised his head and said, "Are my uncle going to make an appointment with those famous gold and stone masters? You have the same temperament with them, but I don't understand anything. Going with my uncle is just a waste of time."
Sitting there for half a day. My cousin wants to go out with Mrs. Huang and Miss Huang. They are all women, so it is not convenient without a man to accompany them. Although there are soldiers guarding the courtyard, they are all rough people after all. How can I go out with my cousin, Mrs. Huang and Miss Huang?
Girl, what are you talking about? When you burn incense in a temple, unless you send someone to clear the place in advance, you will always meet other strangers. How about I go with my cousin, so that I can help you if anything happens? "
Qin Bai frowned and said: "They just went to offer incense and worship Buddha, and they also wanted to take the bait of Mr. Zhang. What are you going to do with them? Hanzhen is just young. The Huang family is dealing with private affairs, and you are interfering in it.
Afraid of inconvenience."
Zhao Mo said with a smile: "It's not convenient for my cousin. I just want to visit Xiyuan Temple. I'll go with my cousin and be her companion. Whatever the Huang family wants to do, they won't come with us."
Related. If I don't go, how can my cousin find an excuse to leave alone? Even if she does leave, how can we rest assured? After all, Suzhou is an unfamiliar place, so we should be more careful."
There is some truth in what he said. Qin Baiyuan still wanted to take him to meet a few more people, but when he saw that he had no intention of doing so, he let it go and allowed him to accompany Qin Hanzhen to Xiyuan Temple.
Qin Hanzhen was overjoyed. Going out to play alone was actually quite boring. Although there were girls and women around, they were not talking to each other, so naturally it was not as interesting as Zhao Mo's companions.
So they went to Xiyuan Temple with the Huang family's aunt on the next day. The place was very beautiful. Qin Hanzhen especially liked the ginkgo and maple trees in the temple. They were red and yellow, which looked particularly dazzling in the late autumn.
. She suddenly felt that such a beautiful scenery must be painted immediately. If she missed it and tried to paint it again in the future, I'm afraid the impression would not be as deep as it is now.
Now she also brought pen and ink with her. When Huang's sister-in-law went to ask for signatures, she found a stone table and stone chairs nearby. She immediately ordered someone to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread out the white paper on the stone table, and quickly
The autumn scene of the ancient temple was painted on paper. Although due to limited time, she painted in a hurry and was a little hasty, but she painted everything that should be painted, and she also used paint on the spot. She felt that the red and yellow colors in the painting were not as good as the real scene.
Gloomy.
Zhao Mo had been quietly staying with her, watching her painting. When he saw her stop writing, he said with admiration: "My cousin's painting skills have really improved a lot. I see your painting of the autumn scene of Xiyuan Temple, there is nothing wrong with it."
Something a girl your age can draw."
Qin Hanzhen smiled and said: "This is because of the good scenery. Besides, my level is just bragging among my peers, and I can't say how outstanding I am. Cousin, please don't praise me."
Zhao Mo said: "You have to praise what you deserve. It is a fact that my cousin is better than her peers, why can't I praise her? I know that my cousin has high aspirations and will only get better and better in the future. There is no need to be too modest."
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but smile, and instead of arguing with him about such a meaningless matter, he put down his pen and blew a few breaths on the painting. He saw that the ink was still there, and he didn't know how long it would take to dry. He didn't know where he was in the temple.
When I went to get water to wash my pen, I couldn't help but complain again: "It's really inconvenient."
Zhao Mo was about to say something when he heard a burst of noise coming from the direction of the main hall. The two of them couldn't help but follow the sound. Ah Shou, who was guarding not far away, was very obedient and quickly went to the main hall to take a look and ran back to report.
"Brother, Miss Qin San, it seems that the Huang family has captured someone. The abbot personally came forward and advised them to take the person to the West Garden. He said that the West Garden is now quiet and there are no other pilgrims.
."
Mr. Zhang was caught?
Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo looked at each other and both felt happy. Qin Hanzhen immediately left the painting tools to Qing Xing and the others to clean up, and took Zhao Mo to the West Garden to watch the fun.
The West Garden is the origin of the name of Xiyuan Temple. It is a garden with excellent scenery. When Qin Hanzhen and others came over, they greeted the temple and planned to use vegetarian food here, so they came early
Let the monks clear the place. With the reputation of Yongjia Houfu and Huang Jincheng, Xiyuan Temple naturally dare not neglect them.
Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo arrived at a pavilion next to the Free Life Pond in the West Garden, where they saw Mr. Zhang who was in a state of embarrassment. He first left the book boy who was waiting with him, and was afraid of being found by Huang Jincheng, so he did not dare to contact anyone else.
The servants who accompanied them to the south pawned some jade pendants, fan pendants, etc., and pawned some silver to pay for travel expenses, and they inquired all the way to Suzhou. The Qin family's fleet traveled along the canal, all the way to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion.
His banner was never concealed from anyone, so Mr. Zhang didn't waste much effort in finding him.
It's just that when he escaped that day, his condition had not yet recovered. He had suffered a lot on the road these days. Now he no longer looked like a handsome young man. His hair was unkempt, his face was pale, he looked haggard, his bones were broken, and he couldn't cough.
Stop, only the silk robe he was wearing that hadn't been washed for several days could vaguely tell that he was from a wealthy family. I don't know if he knew what he looked like now. He saw Huang Qingfang from a distance.
He rushed over and called out affectionately: "Fangmei!"
Huang Qingfang turned away on the spot, not wanting to see his dignified appearance again.
Mrs. Huang Jincheng scolded unceremoniously: "You shameless bastard! Are you worthy of being your grandfather's grandson?! You have really disgraced your ancestors! Since it was your family that was going to put on a show that day, you betrayed your trust, what did you say?
The grandson of the Wang family fell in love at first sight, and if you were not the one to marry me, then what kind of pretense would you have to come to our sister today?! If you have the ability, go and divorce your wife first. As a married man, you are here to pester her.
Daughter of a good family, don’t you take our Huang family seriously?! You are really bullying!"
Mr. Zhang choked and was probably speechless. He did not dare to talk to Mrs. Huang Jincheng. He only looked at Huang Qingfang pitifully: "Sister Fang, it was all my fault in the past. Now I finally understand that what I really like in my heart is still
You. Without you, I don’t want to have tea, I don’t want to eat, I have no thoughts about anything, and if things go on for a long time, I’m afraid I’ll die of lovesickness! Just take pity on me for the sake of our childhood sweethearts.”
Huang Qingfang said calmly: "I don't dare to be Mr. Zhang. I don't have good horoscopes. If you are too close to me, I'm afraid I will restrain you. I'd better not harm others."
Mr. Zhang was choked and said sarcastically: "This...this was originally a random statement made by the Wang family in order to marry me. How can we take it seriously?"
Huang Qingfang sneered: "I didn't know that the daughter of the Wang family was so humble that she would use this method to gain the upper hand of Mr. Zhang?!"
Mr. Zhang was really speechless this time. Although he could shamelessly pester the girl, he still had to have the girl's affection for him to make it happen. Huang Qingfang was obviously tired of him and no longer missed any of his old feelings. What could he do?
What to do?
At this time, Zhao Mo walked over and clapped his hands gently with a smile: "It turns out that the Wang family's shamelessness has reached this point. I should really write a letter and tell my father and make a good joke on the Wang family."
Mr. Zhang had been following the Qin and Huang families for a few days, so he naturally knew Zhao Mo's identity, and his expression suddenly changed when he heard this.
So depraved... cover your face
