Chapter 224 Pilgrimage
"You'er!"
In the dead of night in Wuyou Pavilion, Huo Xifei whispered the news that Huo Wu had heard to Yuan Ziyu!
"Hmph, Tuoba Hun let Han Chi get close to Yuan Qilei. His ultimate goal was nothing more than to let Yuan Qilei put the letter that framed my father in my father's study!" Yuan Ziyu gritted his teeth in hatred.
"If it's as your dream shows, it must be so!" Huo Xifei said, "But now your second uncle has been separated from the family, and Uncle Yuan doesn't allow your second uncle to come to the mansion. If he wants to accomplish this, it will take some trouble and it won't be easy. However, we can't take it lightly!"
"Yeah!" Yuan Ziyou nodded. "It would be great if we could find a way to completely sever ties between my father and Yuan Qilei. Otherwise, my father will eventually think of their brotherhood. If that happens, it will be easy for Yuan Qilei to frame my father!"
"Well, it is indeed a problem!" Huo Xifei nodded. He knew Yuan Qifeng very well and he was a man who valued friendship very much. If Yuan Qilei really brought up some brotherhood and apologized and admitted his mistakes, I'm afraid Uncle Yuan might still forgive Yuan Qilei.
Yuan Ziyou sighed, "Yes, and there's more. Even though my grandmother doesn't mention my second uncle's family much these days, she's actually thinking about them. Sooner or later, she'll ask my parents to resume contact with them!"
"Okay, don't worry. We need to take a long-term view on this matter. It won't be rushed in a short time!" Huo Xifei comforted.
"Yeah, I know!" Yuan Ziyu nodded in response.
"Oh, there's one more thing!" Huo Xifei thought for a moment and said, "In addition to Tuoba Hun and Han Chi, we also have to be careful of the Second Prince."
"Second Prince?" Yuan Ziyou looked at Huo Xifei puzzledly: "What's going on with the Second Prince?"
Huo Xifei then told Yuan Ziyou about Xuanyuan Xiao and Tuoba Hun's discussion of apology, and concluded by saying, "Tuoba Hun isn't someone who compromises easily. This time, he actually agreed to the Second Prince's conditions. I think they must have made some kind of deal. It's a pity Huo Wu didn't find out. But I think it might be related to Uncle Yuan. So, we should also pay more attention to the Second Prince."
"Okay, I understand!" Yuan Ziyu nodded!
Yuan Ziyu had never paid much attention to Xuanyuan Xiao in her previous life. The only thing she knew about Xuanyuan Xiao was that he was both a prince and a playboy. In private, he could be said to be as famous as Liu Haozhe!
In her previous life, she had found it funny that the two most dissolute playboys in the capital were actually related to the Liu family.
And now, if Xuanyuan Xiao really exchanged some conditions for Tuoba Hun's compromise, then it means that Xuanyuan Xiao may have been hiding himself and deceiving everyone with the appearance of a playboy. Perhaps no one knows the real Xuanyuan Xiao.
After Huo Xifei left, Yuan Ziyu couldn't sleep, so he went into the Qiongjiang Pavilion!
Today, Qiongjiang Pavilion is full of herbs, fruit trees and various crops. Because of planting so many things, the black soil in Qiongjiang Pavilion has increased a lot, and there are already dozens of black soils!
Those that were ripe had already been stored by Yuan Ziyu in the wooden barrels in the warehouse. Moreover, Yuan Ziyu discovered one thing, that is, those wooden barrels could never be filled. No matter how many herbs, fruits and grains Yuan Ziyu put in, the barrels were still empty.
This discovery made Yuan Ziyu ecstatic. If this was the case, he would have a place to store these grains, fruits and medicinal herbs. Next year, if a natural disaster really happened, he would just need to find a hidden house and put these things in the house.
The happy Yuan Ziyu was busy in the Qiongjiang Pavilion again, harvesting another batch of ripe crops and fruits.
Tuoba Hun left the capital, and Huo Er from Hangzhou did not send any new news back, so Yuan Ziyu resumed his schedule of managing the shop and the farm, and would visit the shop and the farm every two days!
These days, Yuan Ziyu got along quite well with the two sisters of the Cui family, especially Cui Ruxun, whose temperament was very much to Yuan Ziyu's liking, and Yuan Ziyu admired her very much!
That day, Yuan Ziyu was chatting with the two Cui sisters when Qingzhi walked in: "Second Miss, Miss Meng sent an invitation!"
"Miss Meng?" Yuan Ziyu frowned. She really didn't want to have any contact with Meng Luoyi. Although Old Madam Meng was a very nice person, this Miss Meng was really not her type.
Yuan Ziyu took the invitation and took a look. It turned out that Fatan Temple was going to hold a ceremony on June 19th. That day was the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva attained enlightenment. On this day every year, Master Wujie would give a sermon.
Therefore, on this day, both the mountain and the foot of the Fatan Temple were extremely lively. The wives and daughters of officials would come to the Fatan Temple to listen to the sutras on this day, and the villagers around the Fatan Temple would also set up various stalls at the foot of the mountain on this day to sell things to supplement their family income.
In fact, Yuan Ziyu had no interest in the preaching of the monks, and she was vaguely resistant. After all, she was a reincarnated soul, and she had a heaven-defying place like the Qiongjiang Pavilion on her body. She was really afraid that one day, she would be slaughtered by a monk as a demon!
"Tell the person who comes here, just say it's me..." Yuan Ziyu was about to refuse when Qingying came in again: "Second Miss, Sister Dingxiang from the old lady's side is here."
"Please come in!"
"This servant greets the Second Young Lady and the two young ladies!" Ding Xiang entered the room, bowed to Yuan Ziyu and the other two with a smile, and said, "Second Young Lady, the old lady asked this servant to come and tell you that the Dharma Assembly at Fatan Temple will be held the day after tomorrow. The old lady has been feeling unwell these past two days and cannot go to Fatan Temple. The mistress is busy with household chores and cannot leave her alone, so she wants the Second Young Lady to bring the two young ladies to Fatan Temple to donate some money for incense on behalf of the old lady!"
Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "Please ask Sister Dingxiang to tell Grandmother that You'er will take my two cousins to Fatan Temple to pay homage the day after tomorrow!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave then!" Dingxiang bowed and returned to Shousong Hall!
Yuan Ziyou looked down at the invitation in his hand and said to Qingzhi, "Just reply to the person who came and tell him that I accept the invitation!"
"Yes, Second Miss!"
Yuan Ziyu smiled at Cui Ruxu and Cui Ruxun and said, "My two cousins, we're going to Fatan Temple the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid we'll have to stay there for a day or two. Ask your maid to prepare some extra clothes for you. Fatan Temple is on the mountainside, so it's cooler than the capital!"
Cui Ruxu smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin. Xun'er and I will go back and prepare first!"
Before Cui Ruxu could finish her words, Cui Ruxun clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Great, we can go burn incense now. Second cousin, is there anything fun to do at Fatan Temple?"
"There are small vendors setting up stalls at the foot of the mountain. Every year at this time, Fatan Temple is bustling with people coming to listen to the master's sermons, release animals, and donate money for incense."
"Great, that's fun to listen to!"
