The Yuwen family is different from the Huangfu family. The latter is inherited from Huangfu Xiaoyuan's generation. Although its reputation has not faded, in fact, its descendants have withered so much that there are almost no people left. Today, there are only three pitiful names left. , but the former is different. The family is flourishing, and Yu Wenwei's lineage alone must have dozens of people.
However, although there are many members of the Yuwen family, they are extremely strict in the management of their children. Therefore, there are many talented people in the Yuwen family, but some are mediocre. Most of them voluntarily or are voluntarily become marginalized people in the family who devote their lives silently. Some were let out to cause trouble.
As the grandson of the famous Yu Wenwei and the son of the contemporary head of the Yuwen family, Yu Wenzhao, even if he was not the eldest son, it was unlikely that he would be allowed to marry an ordinary woman.
The most likely explanation is that this woman is somewhat special, or that the Rising Sun Escort Agency behind her has some unknown power.
"Master, do you want to send someone to check the Rising Sun Escort Agency?" Lao Qian asked softly.
"No need," Lu Hanjiang shook his head: "Although few people know about this matter, since we can find out, naturally others can also find out. Yu Wenzhang has been married for many years. I am afraid that someone has long been suspicious of the escort agency. It's just that There has been no news for a long time, and it seems that the secrets cannot be found out in a short time. Even if we send people to investigate, it will most likely be in vain."
"What the master said is that this matter is over?"
"of course not."
As he spoke, Lu Hanjiang took out the letter paper and started writing. At the same time, he also ordered Lao Qian: "Tomorrow, you can send this letter to the Yamen for me and tell Bian Guang to send it to Bishui City and deliver it via Xiangyun Trading Company." In the hands of the great elder of the Lingyue Clan."
This news about the Lu family in the Eastern Capital was originally learned from the mouth of the Miao Jiang elder. Instead of wasting time and effort to check it out by myself, it would be quicker to ask her directly.
Originally, if it was an ordinary Jianghu family, he would just listen to it for fun. Since the Yuwen family, one of the three major aristocratic families, was involved, Lu Hanjiang naturally had to take it seriously.
"Old slave, I understand."
Lao Qian waited for Lu Hanjiang to finish writing a letter and put it away, then went to the Yamen to deliver the letter tomorrow morning.
After handling this matter, Lu Hanjiang stopped Lao Qian who was about to leave and asked casually: "By the way, Lao Qian, Uncle Meng mentioned to me a few days ago that he wanted me to take the princess to Jinming Temple outside the city to pray for blessings tomorrow. I heard that the temple There is a water and land ceremony here, have you ever heard of it?"
Jinming Temple is built outside the capital city and is supported by various wealthy families in the city. This temple is not small in scale, and the various temple decorations inside are full of nobility. The most famous one is the square Bodhi in the temple. There is a ten-tailed Yao flower mirror in the pool, which is full of wealth and auspiciousness. It has always been the most popular among people and can be said to be a major guarantee for the incense of the temple.
After listening to Lu Hanjiang's question, Lao Qian smiled and replied: "That's what happened. It is said that Master Bugui passed through the capital, so Jinming Temple specially organized a water and land ceremony to welcome him."
"That's right."
The name Master Bugui, Lu Hanjiang, is no stranger to him. He is a well-known wandering monk. He travels all over the world and has made countless good connections. His Dharma is superb and respected by others. Looking at his actions, it feels like he can save all sentient beings.
His origin is unknown, but what is known is that he did not study in the temple, so he does not belong to the Buddhist hierarchy, and he calls himself a non-returner. In terms of age, he is also a person of the same generation as Abbot Lingkong.
Of course, being able to travel around the world naturally relies on something. Lu Hanjiang estimates that this monk's martial arts are not ordinary, but he is weak in power. He is usually kind to others and rarely behaves as unscrupulously as other heroes in the world, so Jin Yiwei did not put him on the list.
...
One night passed, Lu Hanjiang and Princess Yongle got on the carriage and headed to Jinming Temple outside the city.
Lu Hanjiang only brought one entourage on this trip, and Yongle was accompanied by Xiaoli and a maid, but secretly, Jin Yiwei's manpower had been secretly arranged inside and outside Jinming Temple, so there was no need to worry about anything going wrong.
The Jinming Temple Water and Land Dharma Assembly was so grand that not only the people in the capital gathered, but also many businessmen and travelers from other places heard about it.
The place was crowded with people, and Xiaoli's face was full of worry, fearing that something might happen accidentally. However, Princess Yongle was in high spirits. They did not reveal their identities today, so they entered the venue together with the common people. This feeling was very important to this person who had lived in the palace for a long time. For His Highness, this is very new.
Before the ceremony started, several people were touring and admiring several halls in the temple. Yongle stopped to look up at the majestic Buddha statues. Even if she stood on tiptoe, she could not see the top of the huge golden body, so she took a step back and looked up. He took a step, and then bumped into Lu Hanjiang as expected.
Lu Hanjiang held her shoulders and caught her, saying, "Princess, if you want to see it clearly, why don't I hug you?"
"Husband-in-law, what are you talking about!" Yongle's body froze slightly, and his face suddenly turned red, whether from embarrassment or annoyance.
Lu Hanjiang sighed softly: "I mean, princess, you stepped on my foot."
"..."
Yongle jumped out of Lu Hanjiang's arms like a rabbit, hanging his head and twisting two fingers together in his hands. The word "sorry" was brewing in his mouth for a long time, but only the first half of the word escaped.
Lu Hanjiang didn't argue with her. If he continued to mess around like this, it would seem like he was bullying others. But he didn't expect that he didn't speak, but instead let the guy with no eyesight intervene.
"Brother, I'm afraid he has lost his grace by arguing with a girl like this."
"..."
How careless would it be to meddle in other people's business at this time? Lu Hanjiang followed the words speechlessly.
A man and woman walked towards each other. The man was slender, wearing a brocade robe, and had a free and uninhibited face. He was holding a black bag in his hand. The woman was petite and exquisite, in white clothes and gold belt, and her delicate face showed an expression that did not match her age. They are calm and completely different in demeanor, but they have some similarities in appearance. They are probably brother and sister.
When the man suddenly spoke, the woman was stunned. When she looked over, there was an apologetic look in her eyes.
Lu Hanjiang glanced at the two of them, but his movements were straightforward. He took half a step forward, stood sideways in front of Yongle, and said calmly: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood, this is your wife."
There was an embarrassed look on the woman's face, and the man said nonchalantly: "Brother, the most important thing between a husband and wife is harmony. If you are so fussy about everything, I'm afraid -"
"I want you to take care of it!"
It was Yongle who interrupted the man. The girl frowned as she spoke, and her beautiful eyes immediately turned cold.
"Brother, please shut up."
The woman pulled the man's sleeve back, and apologized to the two of them: "I'm sorry, it was my brother who was rude, and I am here to apologize to you two."
The man also came back to his senses, but he laughed and admitted his mistake happily: "It turned out that the two of you were flirting, but I made a mistake. Please forgive me."
What a love! Princess Yongle couldn't hear this and quietly hid behind Lu Hanjiang, covering her red ears with both hands.
Lu Hanjiang didn't take this at heart. He glanced at the man and said, "I see that your heaven is full and the earth is round. You must have come from a wealthy family and studied under a famous and upright family. I wonder which master you are?"
Of course, this was nonsense. Lu Hanjiang didn't understand physiognomy, but he saw that this person had a well-proportioned aura, a steady posture when walking, and there was a mystery hidden under the seemingly ordinary steps. The taste is in it, this is the Taoist martial arts method.
