Chapter 37 Dali Temple Shaoqing
Jiang Yuyan was naturally unaware of the little episode between the master and servant. She nestled in Xiao Yuanyan's arms and happily taught them first aid knowledge.
The carriage slowly moved into the territory of Jizhou. Somehow, the sky suddenly changed, a strong wind blew up, and in less than half an hour, it began to rain heavily.
The heavy rain this autumn is truly rare, the temperature dropped sharply, and it was cold and wet and difficult to travel.
The shadow guard in front came over in a panic and reported, "Sir, the nearest inn is still more than a hundred miles away, but it is difficult to travel due to the heavy rain. There is a dilapidated temple in front, maybe we can take shelter there. Please bear with it for a while, Sir and Madam tonight."
Xie Jingyu nodded, and everyone hurriedly drove the carriage over in the storm.
Arriving at the ruined temple, Xie Jingyu took out a cloak and wrapped Jiang Yuyan from head to toe, then took out a raincoat, then jumped out of the car and took it from Xiao Yuanyan's hand, and walked in in two steps. In the heavy rain, Jiang Yuyan was not touched by a single drop of rain.
“………” The men here are really too considerate. She, a woman, feels ashamed of herself.
The shadow guards quickly lit a fire. Jiang Yuyan treated the servants kindly and asked everyone to gather around the fire to warm themselves to prevent catching a cold.
The shadow guards looked at their master's face hesitantly, and sat in a crowded circle opposite him, not daring to get too close to Jiang Yuyan.
Heavy rain, a dilapidated temple, and night, Jiang Yuyan's mind instantly emerged with many ghost stories. As she thought about it, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Everyone looked at her. Xie Jingyu's eyes curved: "What are you happy about, Wanwan? Why don't you tell me?"
Jiang Yuyan was happy: "I was thinking, in this kind of environment, according to the story in the book, there should be a poor scholar, stranded in a dilapidated temple on a rainy night, but a fox fairy beauty throws herself into his arms."
Xiao Yuanyan also laughed, pretending to be serious and whispered: "Isn't Wanwan also a fox fairy in disguise?"
Jiang Yuyan glanced at him, bit her ear and replied, "Then come and feel it, do I have that fox tail?"
The dilapidated temple was quiet. The shadow guards had amazing hearing and their faces turned red instantly.
Xie Jingyu was so teased that his mouth was dry and he said coquettishly: "Wanwan, I also want someone to throw himself into my arms......"
“…….” The shadow guards turned their heads away silently, unable to bear to watch.
"Just wait. I will help you make an offering on the incense table tonight and summon the fox fairy to come and throw herself into your arms..."
Jiang Yuyan's smile gradually became dangerous.
"Then I don't want it, I just want you!" Xie Jingyu begged for mercy, whining.
A few people were laughing lively when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of a shadow guard drawing his sword.
"Who is it?!" It was Ying Yi.
"It's late at night and the rain is heavy. The three of us are here to take shelter from the rain. I hope you brothers can help us."
A young man's voice seemed to be heard outside the house.
"It's not convenient. Our lady is here. Please go somewhere else to take shelter from the rain." Ying Yi said coldly.
"This is in the middle of nowhere, where are you asking us to go? And is this shabby temple owned by your family?"
It was another man's voice, and his voice sounded like that of a big and strong man.
"I said no and it means no!" Yingyi said firmly.
“How dare you…” Another person seemed to want to speak but was stopped.
During the stalemate, Jiang Yuyan overheard something and peeked out through the broken window. The sky was dark and the sound of wind and rain was frightening. She whispered something to Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu immediately pushed the door open and went out to check. He was visibly stunned when he saw the person coming. He immediately bowed and said, "It turns out to be Lord Zheng. I'm so sorry, I'm so disrespectful, your servant is so rude! Please come in..."
The leading man had a bad look on his face and said, "I didn't expect to meet Master Xie here!" After saying that, he walked straight into the house and shook out his raincoat.
Xie Jingyu walked up to Jiang Yuyan and introduced, "Wanwan, this is Mr. Zheng, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple."
The person who came was Zheng Shaopu, a popular figure in front of the emperor!
"Sir Zheng, this is... my wife and my elder brother Xiao." Xie Jingyu said respectfully.
This Lord Zheng has handled countless cases with ruthless methods, and all the young masters in the capital are terrified when they meet him.
“I didn’t even know when Young Master Xie got married…” The man snorted coldly and walked towards the fire from the darkness, but his eyes immediately met Jiang Yuyan who was hiding in the innermost circle of the crowd.
Under the light of the fire, the woman was like a pearl under the moon, shining brightly, and like a delicate flower reflecting on the water, graceful and charming. Even Zheng Shaopu, who had been in the capital for so long, was shocked. After a moment of distraction, Zheng Shaopu, who had always remained calm under pressure, recovered and sat down with his two followers.
Jiang Yuyan was also looking at the person who came. She saw that the man had a strong and handsome figure, with a pair of bright and sharp eyes. He looked like someone who was not easy to get along with.
Xiao Yuanyan bowed with her. Jiang Yuyan then asked Jiang Yi to take some dry food and water to Zheng Shaopu.
“Thank you... Madam..." Zheng Shaopu’s mouth corners twitched downwards slightly, his tone and expression unclear.
The two followers, one fat and one thin, were noisy just now, but now they were completely silent. They just looked at each other, and occasionally glanced at their masters.
"When did Mr. Xie get married? Why didn't he invite me to the wedding?" Zheng Shaopu asked expressionlessly with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"My wife and I haven't officially gotten married yet, but my father has already asked someone to arrange it. He will definitely send the invitation to your house when we arrive in the capital." Xie Jingyu smiled calmly.
"Oh? Then congratulations in advance, Mr. Xie!" Zheng Shaopu curled his lips.
"It's fate that we meet tonight. Why is Lord Zheng here?" Xie Jingyu changed the subject.
"Dali Temple Hearing Cases" Zheng Shaopu's words are concise and to the point, cold and concise.
"Lord Zheng is diligent and capable at a young age, and is deeply trusted by His Majesty. He is truly a role model for our generation."
After a moment of silence, Xie Jingyu flattered insincerely.
Zheng Shaopu did not respond, but raised his eyelids slightly and looked in the direction of Jiang Yuyan. The beauty was as white as jade, and her eyelashes were long and slender, fluttering like butterflies.
"Where is your wife from?"
Zheng Shaopu suddenly spoke up, still asking about the female relatives. Everyone looked puzzled.
Xiao Yuanyan and Xie Jingyu looked at each other, wondering what this emperor's close minister was planning.
"I'm from Lin County, Yunzhou." Jiang Yuyan replied.
"Oh? I heard that His Majesty recently conferred the title of Sixth-Rank Concubine on a lady in Yunzhou. Is she actually the Madam?" Zheng Shaopu raised his eyebrows.
"That's true." Jiang Yuyan looked back, calmly.
Zheng Shaopu found it interesting that the young boys and girls in the capital were like rabbits seeing a wolf when they saw him, and they were timid and fearful. But this young lady was very brave.
The thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered the memorial that the person above had talked about with him. He glanced at Jiang Yuyan with an unpredictable look, and then praised her with a fake smile, "Madam, you have such a good temperament!"
Jiang Yuyan pretended to smile shyly and said modestly: "Your Excellency is too kind!"
Then the atmosphere in the dilapidated temple became dull again. Jiang Yuyan closed her eyes and slept in Xiao Yuanyan's arms. Xie Jingyu also took a cloak and gently covered her.
Zheng Shaopu glanced back and forth between the three people and smiled imperceptibly. Oh, this capital city will not be peaceful in the future.
