Xiangtang.
Unlike the bustling crowd in the front yard, this place is much cleaner and more elegant.
Mrs. Sun was burning incense when she saw Ruan Yunluo coming in. She looked at her appreciatively and then asked with concern, "Mrs. Ruan is able to walk now?"
Ruan Yunluo immediately understood that she was concerned about his injuries, so he smiled and nodded, "The flesh wounds are nothing serious."
"That's good."
Mrs. Sun asked Ruan Yunluo to sit down first. After offering incense, she also sat next to her and sighed: "Mrs. Ruan is really a hero among women for being able to save a man from a chaotic army. If it were me, I would definitely have done it at that time." I fainted."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Ruan Yunluo laughed, "Not to mention that your mother-in-law, Sun Yushi, died to remonstrate with the late emperor and brought His Majesty back from the northwest when he was still a hostage. If we just talk about General Xu, who has been on the battlefield for so many years, will his credit be less? As a member of the Sun family, you Could it be that my daughter, the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, has no abilities? It’s just that Yun Luo happened to be lucky, so she accidentally stumbled upon this achievement."
"Ha ha."
Mrs. Sun smiled and shook her head. "Mrs. Ruan, there is no need to be so down on yourself. Who in this capital doesn't know your bravery, Mrs. Ruan? When I heard that you have been appointed, everyone is very envious."
"Everyone has his own destiny." Ruan Yunluo looked at Xu Wanchou with a smile and said: "In my opinion, Mrs. Sun's destiny probably lies with her children and grandchildren. With such an outstanding son as nephew Xu Xian, are you still afraid? Can’t you earn a job in the future?”
"Thank you for your good words."
Mrs. Sun smiled from ear to ear.
She smiled and looked at her son, "Wanqiu, why don't you thank Madam Ruan quickly?"
Xu Wanchou nodded, smiled and offered his hand to Ruan Yunluo, "Thank you, Madam Ruan, Madam Ruan is so complimentary."
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Sun waved her hand, "Mrs. Ruan and I have fallen in love and would like to talk a few more words. Since you have nothing to do, take Miss Qintang out for a walk. Don't neglect her."
"yes."
Xu Wanchou nodded and looked at Xiao Qintang.
"Ah?" Xiao Qintang was distracted and did not react for a moment. When she understood what was going on, her face turned red, and she quickly bowed to Mrs. Sun and Ruan Yunluo and left.
Came to the yard with Xu Wanchou.
The two chatted for a while without talking. She pursed her lips and looked at Xu Wanchou, "I haven't been to the front yard of Lingzhao Temple yet. Can you take me to the front yard to see it?"
"forecourt?"
Xu Wanchou was a little embarrassed about Xiao Qintang's request, "Miss Xiao, the incense in Lingzhao Temple is very prosperous and the front yard is bustling with people. I'm afraid I'm intrusive to the lady..."
"It's okay." Xiao Qintang shook his head quickly for fear that Xu Wanchou would disagree. She blushed pretty, "Besides, isn't there still... you?"
"I?"
Xu Wanchou looked at Xiao Qintang in surprise, not expecting that she would be so bold.
But he felt relieved when he thought about his sister who spent all her time wielding knives and guns, shouting and killing.
Families of military commanders always have fewer rules than families of civil servants, and the daughters they raise are more straightforward. There is nothing wrong with this.
So he nodded and agreed to Xiao Qintang's request and took her to the front yard of Lingzhao Temple.
There were indeed many pilgrims in the front yard.
In addition to the people queuing up to offer incense and worship Buddha, there were also incense sellers, talisman sellers, and hexagram interpreters. People of all kinds came and went, making it dazzling.
Xiao Qintang's eyes searched everywhere in the crowd, but he could not find Lu Yitong, nor did he see the lotus pond they agreed on.
So she could only ask Xu Wanchou for help, "I heard that there is a beautiful lotus pond in Lingzhao Temple. Can you take me to see it?"
"Lotus Pond?"
Xu Wanchou glanced at her doubtfully, not understanding what she wanted to do.
He originally thought that she came to the front yard because she was curious about the prosperous incense in Lingzhao Temple and the pilgrims from all over the place, or she was interested in the gadgets in the hands of the vendors. But she didn't care about those at all...
What is she looking for?
Xu Wanchou became curious. He nodded and agreed, "Okay", and then protected Xiao Qintang through the crowd and came to the lotus pond.
After passing through many human walls, Xiao Qintang finally saw Lu Yitong.
She couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw him wearing civilian clothes and holding the incense seriously.
Holding back her laughter, she looked at Xu Wanchou and made her third request, "Can you give me a peace charm, the ones we saw just now?"
"symbol?"
Xu Wanchou couldn't help but laugh.
He turned back to look at the distance he had just walked, nodded, and waved to the maid and boy who had been following them from a distance.
"Why?"
Xiao Qintang pulled his sleeve and shook his head quickly, "Don't let them come, I don't like them following. It's so close anyway, just go back quickly."
"good."
Xu Wanchou narrowed his eyes at her, smiled and turned around to join the crowd.
Xiao Qintang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned back to find Lu Yitong.
Seeing him standing by the pool and nodding to her, she immediately took a deep breath and plunged into the pool without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, Lu Yitong also jumped in.
Just as he was swimming towards Xiao Qintang with all his strength, intending to hold her in his arms. Suddenly there was a "dong" sound, and another person jumped into the water, causing a splash of water.
"Don't be afraid, miss, I, Zhao Dazhu, am here to save you!"
As Zhao Dazhu spoke, he used his strong body to pull Lu Yitong aside and swam towards Xiao Qintang.
Xiao Qintang was shocked.
She quickly shouted "get away" and swam hard towards the landing.
Unfortunately, her clothes were complicated and heavy, and she was soaked in water, so she didn't swim twice before Zhao Dazhu grabbed her hand.
She screamed and almost fainted.
Fortunately, at this time, Lu Yitong came to his senses, quickly grabbed her other hand, and started fighting with Zhao Dazhu.
So the two men were in the water, grabbing her from left to right, neither of them willing to let go.
Xiao Qintang couldn't paddle in the middle, quickly lost strength and sank into the water...
Only then did the stunned crowd finally react and shout for help while looking for bamboo poles to fish them out.
"Miss!"
Baoyue, who had been keeping a distance, finally realized something was wrong and ran over.
She quickly stepped forward to push away the crowd, and when she saw that her young lady was being pulled left and right by two men, she stamped her feet anxiously.
At this time, someone came over with a bamboo pole. She immediately grabbed the bamboo pole, pointed it at the heads of Lu Yitong and Zhao Dazhu, and beat them one by one.
When both of them were holding their heads and running away, and she was about to dive into the water to save her... Xiao Qintang splashed herself under the water and woke up.
She choked on the water and was already dizzy, but she still remembered her plan. So he quickly grabbed the bamboo pole handed over by Baoyue with one hand, pulled Lu Yitong with the other hand, and fell smoothly into his arms.
"Master!"
Xu Wanchou's young man emerged from the crowd and ran to his young master.
He vividly recounted the scene in which two men were fighting over a woman in the pool. He looked at his young master's indifferent expression with a smile on his face, and suddenly shuddered, "Master, aren't you going to save Miss Xiao?"
"What am I going to do?"
Xu Wanchou sneered and said lightly: "Invite the two ladies to come over."
So, when Ruan Yunluo and Mrs. Sun hurried over, what they saw was Xiao Qintang, Lu Yitong, and Zhao Dazhu being watched by everyone, while Xu Wanchou was smiling and watching the show beside them.
"Madam! You have to make the decision for me!"
Seeing everyone making way for Ruan Yunluo and Mrs. Sun, Zhao Dazhu immediately knelt down very smartly, kowtowed and said loudly: "Just now, I held the hand of the young lady first. According to the rules, that young lady is mine. She must marry me!"
