Chapter 72 Staying Overnight
Zhou Yunshu nodded. It was indeed much more convenient to act as a man than a woman during this special period.
"Gui'er is now considered the Virgin Mary's confidant. When Gui'er and Ansheng come back tonight, you will be able to see her!"
When Wu Yue said this, a look of difficulty appeared on her face and she said, "Shu'er, it might not be easy for us to leave."
Because Ansheng only recognizes her and Wu Gui now, the two of them have a very high status in the Red Lotus Sect, and even the thousand envoys in the sect dare not do anything to them.
But at the same time, because of their inseparable relationship with Ansheng, they have never left the mountain since they followed the Red Lotus Cult to the mountain, and the Red Lotus Mother will not let them go down the mountain.
Zhou Yunshu had obviously thought of this situation as well. She pondered for a moment and said, "We'll figure this out later."
Since she wanted to muddy the waters at the Red Lotus Mother's birthday party, she never thought of leaving Wolong Mountain in a peaceful way.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Wu Yue and asked, "Should we rest here tonight or go to the mountainside?"
Wu Yue slapped her palm in frustration and said to Zhou Yunshu, "I almost forgot that you need to leave Ginkgo Garden in the evening."
Wu Yue paced back and forth anxiously, saying as she walked, "An Sheng Hui Ginkgo Garden doesn't allow unfamiliar people to stay here."
Zhou Yunshu was a little puzzled when she heard this: "Won't the Virgin Mary stay overnight?"
Wu Yue shook her head. "No, the Holy Mother Temple is heavily guarded. We only have the chance to go up there when the Holy Mother wants to see An Sheng. But the Holy Mother will not let An Sheng stay overnight."
"What about the Thousand Envoys of the Red Lotus?"
"I haven't paid much attention to this, but I have seen Sun Qianshi coming down the mountain in the morning several times."
Zhou Yunshu raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. It seemed that just as Zheng Qianshi had said before, the Virgin Mary trusted Sun Chengyang very much.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Second Aunt, how old is Ansheng this year? Do you know who his biological father is?"
Wu Yue shook her head. "Ansheng just celebrated his sixth birthday last month. As for who his biological father is, we don't know. The Virgin Mary has never been in a relationship with any man."
Zhou Yunshu nodded and was about to continue asking questions when the sound of breeze suddenly came from the door.
"Aunt Yue, is there anything else you need to move besides this book?"
Wu Yue quickly wiped her face and shouted, "There are still many more, move quickly!"
After that, Wu Yue whispered again: "The Holy Mother asked you guys to come here to copy some books. Only those who have passed Uncle He's test can be considered as her own people to copy some account books."
Zhou Yunshu kept the word "account book" in her mind. She still had to think of a way to stay tonight.
Wu Yue patted Zhou Yunshu's arm and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to let you stay."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, and footsteps were heard on the stairs. She turned around and picked up a pile of books, and someone on the stairs just came up.
The first one to come up was Qingfeng, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a green robe and a goatee.
"Lao He, why are you here?"
Uncle He glanced at Zhou Yunshu, who was stacking books, and said, "I've already made arrangements for the person who just left. I'll talk to you if I need anything."
"What's up?"
"Well, the Virgin Mary said that starting tomorrow, some dignitaries from the capital will be staying here, so she asked me to get the key to the Dongshan Courtyard from you and have someone go over there to clean it up in advance."
"Dongshan?"
Wu Yue's tone was a little surprised. "Didn't they say the prefect and the princess wouldn't be coming? Why are they suddenly opening the courtyard over on the East Mountain? The courtyard over there is the closest courtyard to the mountain besides ours."
"That's not our place to ask. We should just do what the Virgin Mary tells us to do."
Wu Yue thought so too. She saw Uncle He looking at Zhou Yunshu and the other two, and said calmly, "These are the two young men I just called casually."
After that, he introduced Zhou Yunshu and the other two, "This is the accountant in charge of internal affairs on our mountain. Everyone calls him Uncle He, so you can just call him Uncle He too."
Zhou Yunshu and Qingfeng held the account books in their hands and bent down slightly to say to Uncle He, "Uncle He."
Uncle He nodded and looked at Wu Yue's red eyes. "Sister Wu, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Wu Yue touched her eyes and said helplessly, "I opened the window just now and got blinded by the sand. I just closed it again."
"That's good, I thought you were crying."
Uncle He's light-hearted words frightened Wu Yue so much that she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm not a teenage girl. I won't cry that easily."
"Didn't you say you were going to the East Courtyard? Let's go!"
After they returned to the main courtyard from the library, Wu Yue called Ginkgo and asked her to take Zhou Yunshu and move the books to find the person who had copied the books before, while she and Uncle He walked towards the gate of Ginkgo Garden.
When Zhou Yunshu and Qingfeng arrived at the west wing, they saw that there was a person standing behind each table in the side rooms on both sides of the front yard of the west wing, and each person was holding a pen and copying the book in front of him carefully.
There were Red Lotus Envoys in the yard, but there were only four of them. They sat on the stone benches by the wall and chatted, leaning their weapons against the stone table, looking very comfortable.
Under Ginkgo's guidance, Zhou Yunshu and Qingfeng carried the books to the right wing, but at this moment there was only a space left for copying.
Ginkgo thought for a moment and said, "One of you will copy the manuscript, and the other will organize it."
After hearing this, Qingfeng stood in front of the table with a book in his arms. Zhou Yunshu glanced at the people in the room who were busy writing, walked to the front of the room, found a place to sit down and began to organize their manuscripts.
The content of the manuscript was very simple. All the copies were exactly the same "Hundred Family Names", except that the handwriting was good or bad, and some were written fast or slow.
Time always flies when there is something to do. People in the room stopped working when the sun was about to set in the afternoon.
Uncle He and Wu Yue came back at this time.
"You can go back now and wait for notification tomorrow."
Uncle He waved his hand, and the people in the right wing walked out one by one, with Zhou Yunshu and others left at the end.
"Wait a moment."
After Wu Yue finished speaking, everyone turned around to look at her.
She pointed at a few of them and said, "You guys stay here for a while. Yes, the six of you."
Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, the others turned around and left. Uncle He looked at Wu Yue in confusion, "What happened to the six of them?"
Wu Yue said, "I thought the East Courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time and isn't very popular. It just so happens that they are scholars, so I'll have them stay there tonight to gather some popularity and literary atmosphere. That way, when the distinguished guests come, it won't seem too desolate."
Uncle He thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone take them there."
"Let me do it." Wu Yue said, "I was the one who brought this up in the first place, and I'm not like you who needs to check the accounts."
"After I drop them off, I'll just pick up my son and his family at the intersection."
Uncle He nodded, "Okay."
