Hearing no fresh news, Zhou Yunshu and his party left the teahouse separately.
Liang Laosan went to the city gate to inquire about shopkeeper Liang and others, while Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui were driven by Feng Xujie in a carriage towards the Yang Mansion.
Because Princess Yuyang's birthday is coming soon, there is an endless stream of guests coming and going from the Yang Mansion.
Zhou Yunshu, who had already taken off her curtain and hat, saw that not all the guests were holding invitations, so she took Wu Gui's arm and whispered a few words to her before walking towards the gate.
The housekeeper of the Yang Mansion looked at the three strangers at the door but had a distinguished temperament and took a step forward. He smiled and said, "I wonder who your distinguished guests are?"
Wu Gui said: "I am Wang Zeming of the Langya Wang family. I studied under the great Confucian Duan Yan and I am the junior disciple of Yang Yuhao."
As she said that, she took a gift from Feng Xujie behind her and handed it to the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion: "I heard from the teacher that Wen He returned to the city and happened to pass by. Unexpectedly, it was the birthday of the princess."
The housekeeper of the Yang Mansion looked at Wu Gui who was calm and composed in front of him and solemnly took the gift from her hand, and believed eight or nine percent of what she said.
After all, not everyone knows the name of the young master, nor can just anyone know the whereabouts of the young master. Not to mention, common people in this era have no courage to pretend to be the young master of a noble family and come to visit him.
"You're welcome, Mr. Wang, please come inside."
Wu Gui nodded with a smile and said, "Is Wenhe at home?"
"When we were separated last time, he lent me a copybook written by a book saint. Now that I have copied it, I can return it to him."
Wu Gui's face was calm, but she kept praying wildly in her heart. She must not be there like Zhou Yunshu said! Otherwise, the secret will be exposed!
When the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion heard that "Wang Zeming" had such a close relationship with his young master, he said sheepishly: "My young master is not in the mansion right now, but he will definitely be back in time for the princess's birthday tomorrow."
Wu Gui quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yunshu squeezed Wu Gui's arm when the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion said that. Wu Gui understood Zhou Yunshu's meaning, stopped and said, "Is it convenient for the princess and Master Yang to meet now?"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Yang's housekeeper's face, because tomorrow is the princess's birthday. The princess is very busy now, and her lord has not come back from the government office.
Unless the foreign guests who came today were close friends of the princess, they all put down their gifts and left.
Wu Gui looked at the troubled look on Yang's housekeeper's face and said, "I understand that the princess and Mr. Yang are too busy, so I won't stay any longer today and will visit again at the birthday banquet tomorrow."
Yang Mansion's housekeeper smiled and said: "Not a good reception..."
Wu Gui shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not a bad reception. The princess's birthday banquet is no small matter. It was me who came over without saying hello in advance and caused trouble to the master's family."
The housekeeper shook his head quickly. Even if it was true, he couldn't follow Wu Gui's words.
"Wen He hasn't come back, so I can't ask him for an invitation. I wonder if the housekeeper can give me two so that I can bring my wife to visit him tomorrow to celebrate his birthday."
"It should be, it should be!" the housekeeper said repeatedly: "I'll go right away..."
"Butler Yang."
A woman wearing a red flowered butterfly skirt came from the garden with two little maids, and spoke to Butler Yang who was talking.
Butler Yang heard the woman's voice, bowed and said respectfully: "Ms. Cousin."
"Who are these distinguished guests?"
When the woman looked over, no matter how surprised Zhou Yunshu was, the decent smile on her face did not change.
She really didn't expect that the crazy woman Du Huairou she rescued from the refugee pile would turn into Yang Bingtian's cousin.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Du Huairou, who had not taken her eyes away from her since they met, and was a little unsure whether she recognized herself with makeup on.
"This is the young master's classmate, the young master and his wife of the Langya Wang family."
Feng Xujie was ignored by Butler Yang.
Wu Gui and Zhou Yunshu smiled and nodded to Du Huairou after Butler Yang introduced them.
Du Huairou looked at Zhou Yunshu and smiled: "Madam looks like an old acquaintance of mine."
"The world is so big and full of wonders." Zhou Yunshu did not directly answer Du Huairou's words.
"That's it." Du Huairou lowered his eyes and looked at Zhou Yunshu's shoes.
Butler Yang said: "Miss Cousin, I was just going to get an invitation for Mr. Wang. Where are you?"
Du Huairou raised his head and smiled: "I'll go back to Zhuyuyuan, you can do what you want."
"good."
After Du Huairou left, Butler Yang looked at Wu Gui and the others sheepishly and said, "Master and Madam, why don't you wait in the flower hall here for a while, and I'll get you the invitations."
"Okay, hard work."
Butler Yang left, and a little maid led Zhou Yunshu and others to the flower hall not far away.
A few people sat down, and the little maid served tea and snacks one by one, and then retreated to the side to wait.
"I don't know where Wen He went, why did he come later than me." Wu Gui said this and wanted to know where Zhou Yunjia, who was traveling with Yang Yuhao, had gone.
Zhou Yunshu took a sip of hot tea and ate another snack and said to Wu Gui, "Maybe something delayed me on the way."
After saying that, Zhou Yunshu waved to the little maid waiting next to her, "I want to go change."
"Follow me, madam."
Zhou Yunshu patted Wu Gui's hand to reassure her, then stood up and left with the little maid.
Although Princess Yuyang's birthday is tomorrow, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo in the Yang Mansion echoes the chatter and laughter of the guests and servants, making it very lively.
Zhou Yunshu followed the little maid out of the flower hall and walked on a winding path. On one side was dense and tall green bamboo, on the other side was gurgling water. Except for the two of them, there was no trace of anyone else.
"Are you sure you are going this way?" Zhou Yunshu stopped.
The little maid turned around and explained to Zhou Yunshu: "There are many people in other places, and I'm afraid my wife won't be able to wait."
"Although the Wutong side courtyard here is a little further away, it is less crowded and quiet."
Seeing the clear and honest eyes of the little maid, Zhou Yunshu nodded and suppressed the doubt in her heart.
When the little maid saw that Zhou Yunshu did not blame herself, she happily said a few more words.
"There are a lot of people here for the princess's birthday. Even the relatively remote Wutong side courtyard here would be full of people now if the princess hadn't specially asked to leave it to Mrs. Qi."
"This person named Qi Niangzi has such a good relationship with the princess?"
She remembered that Wu Gui had said before that the Holy Mother of Red Lotus seemed to have the surname Qi.
The little maid smiled and nodded: "Very good. Madam Qi lives in the house for almost half of the year, and returns to the mountain for the other half of the year."
Zhou Yunshu's eyebrows moved slightly, and on the mountain...
"Go back to the mountain to live? Could it be that this lady Qi is the lady who leads the training in the nunnery?" Zhou Yunshu probed.
"Of course not! Madam Qi is the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus Sect on Wolong Mountain in Luzhou. Have you heard of the Red Lotus Sect?"
Zhou Yunshu nodded, "I did hear the name of the Red Lotus Sect when I came to Luzhou with my husband."
"The Red Lotus Sect is much more popular in Luzhou than Buddhism and Taoism. This is all thanks to our princess. Who made the relationship between our princess and Qi..."
"Shh~"
The little maid was stunned when she looked at Zhou Yunshu who had silenced her. Before she could ask why, she was pulled to the side of the bamboo forest by Zhou Yunshu.
"Yang Bingtian, how long do you want me to stay with you like this without any status or status?"
