Chapter 317 Taking Advantage of the Situation

"I made an appointment with the four of you to come to Huayue City before and rented a small courtyard in advance. However, all three of them were unable to come due to family matters. You also booked a guest room. In order to save some money, I will rent the small courtyard. The yard was withdrawn and it happened to be sublet to this lady, so the store deducted some money from me."

Wen Xun explained with a smile.

"It turns out there is such a fate, I'm so glad to meet you!"

After hearing this, Prince Wang immediately raised his hands in a scholarly salute, and then motioned to Wen Xun to introduce the two of them.

Wen Xun was slightly embarrassed, mainly because he didn't know the origin of this young lady.

Lianyi had been observing the two of them for a while, then suddenly turned the white porcelain tea cup in his hand and said lightly:

"You two can just call me Luyao. This is my Taoist name."

"Tao number!"

"Tao number?"

Wen Xun's tone was one of surprise, while Prince Wang's tone was one of confusion.

"It's us who are offended. I don't know that Miss is a Taoist."

Wen Xun immediately bowed his hands and saluted.

"It doesn't matter, I'm going to Ziyun Palace to become a disciple."

Lianyi said neither salty nor cool.

The two young men looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.

"Miss, I've already ordered the flower wine and asked the man to take it to the carriage. Let's go look elsewhere!"

After Luo Huai arranged things properly, he came back to urge Lianyi.

"I won't delay the wine tasting for you two. Let's say goodbye!"

Lianyi stood up, said goodbye to the two young masters, and left directly with Luo Huai and Minmin.

Wen Xun looked at the backs of the three of them, thoughtfully, while the prince beside him clicked his tongue and said:

"She is obviously a young woman in her 28s, why can't she think of becoming a Taoist nun? Have you heard of that Ziyun Palace?"

"I don't know, but I'm also curious as to why a girl from a good family would want to spend the rest of her life in such a cold place!"

While Wen Xun spoke, his fingers were still rubbing the jade pendant around his waist.

"Come, let's go taste the flower wine here, it looks very good!"

"Okay, sit down!"

The two of them didn't bother to find another table, so they sat at the table where the two of them left, asked the waiter to serve a pot of pear blossom wine, and started the so-called wine tasting.

When Lianyi returned to the small courtyard, she called Chu Liangchen over, explained a few words, and then went back to her room to meditate.

Because of what happened with the white python and the appearance of the evil weapon fragments, Lianyi deeply felt that her lack of cultivation might affect the completion of the mission. Therefore, along the way, in addition to rubbing off the evil spirit on the evil weapon fragments, she also Just try to absorb the energy in the spiritual marrow.

Two days later in the evening, Liang Chen came to see Lianyi and reported the progress of the matter in a low voice.

"Miss, according to your instructions, I revealed some of your life background to Mr. Wen. He was very generous and gave me a reward of five taels of silver. He also asked me about Miss's recent whereabouts. Do I want to tell him? ?”

After Liang Chen finished speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and held it in front of Lianyi.

"The silver is awarded to you, you can keep it for yourself. You can tell him my whereabouts appropriately. If he wants to create a chance encounter, let him create it."

"Yes, miss! I asked Xiao Hui to follow him, but Xiao Hui hasn't come back yet."

Liang Chen added another sentence.

"Don't let Xiao Hui get involved in danger. Wen Xun has some problems. When Xiao Hui comes back, don't let the little guy run around anymore. It's the Flower Viewing Festival in Huayue City at this time. There's a lot of smell and he's everywhere. It’s not safe to run around.”

"Yes, Liang Chen took note of it."

Chu Liangchen nodded before retreating.

Starting from the second day, Huayue City has officially entered the Flower Appreciation Festival. Every household will place some flowers at the door to celebrate the occasion, and merchants will decorate their stores with flowers. Every customer who enters the store will receive a flower. Among the people walking on the road, women will have hairpins on their heads, and men will be no exception, which fully supports the atmosphere of the Flower Appreciation Festival.

On the first day, Lianyi and his party met Mr. Wen at the place where the flower guesser was receiving lanterns. The other party guessed a flower puzzle for Lianyi, received a lotus lantern, and gave it to Lianyi.

On the evening of the second day, Lianyi and his party met Mr. Wen again by the river where the lanterns were placed. He also came to put out the lanterns to pray for blessings. After putting out the lanterns, Ripple wanted to express his gratitude and invited him to have a supper together.

On the third day, Mr. Wen directly sent a post, saying that several friends held a poetry party and invited Lianyi to attend. Lianyi did not refuse and went directly to participate with Minmin and Luo Ying, and received a special invitation from Mr. Wen. Several hymns were composed for him.

On the fourth day, Ripple did not go out and was practicing in the inn. Liang Chen brought a small note from Wen Xun. The other party said that the flower viewing party was about to end. He wanted to paint a picture for Ripple and specially asked her to meet by Qianli Lake. See.

"Miss, do you want to go?"

"Of course I'm going. Call Aunt Wen, Luo Ying and the others."

"yes!"

After a while, several people gathered in Lianyi's room. She explained a few words and asked everyone to proceed as planned.

"Miss, is it risky to do this? Let Wu Meng and I follow you secretly!"

Wen Lu said worriedly.

"No need. If you follow me, it will be easy to alert the enemy. Moreover, Wen Xun is just a peripheral chess piece. There are people behind him. This thing is not something you can handle. If you insist on following me, it will become a constraint for me."

Ripple said quietly.

The few of them looked at each other and thought of the mass graves in Shuangqi Town, and immediately stopped thinking about helping.

"Miss, we can't help you. What about Master Wuyou and his disciples? They are still living in a side house without paying a penny. Isn't it time to make some efforts?"

Luo Ying thought for a while and said, although she didn't want to see these two masters and apprentices, she had to admit that these two people might be able to help her young lady.

"Let them rest in peace and recover! We will still need their introduction when we get to Ziyun Palace."

Lianyi waved his hand.

The next day, Ripple went to the appointment alone, and Wen Xun was very surprised:

"Why did the young lady come here alone without a maid?"

"I don't want them to disturb the young master's painting."

Ripple said with a slight smile.

"Then Wen, hurry up and it won't take too long, so as not to worry the servants in your family."

The most important thing is to be considerate.

"Okay, time to work!"

Wen Xun immediately began to splash ink, and an hour later, Lianyi propped his head and squinted his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.

"Miss Luyao! Miss Luyao!"

Wen Xun called several times, but received no response. Then he made a secret gesture not far away. Immediately, a group of people came forward, wearing the clothes of the maid's entourage, and helped Ripple into a soft sedan chair.

Wen Xun pretended to say to his servant:

"Miss Luyao seems to be sleepy. It's Wen's fault. It took a long time to paint. The lake is humid. Please cook a bowl of ginger soup for Miss to warm her body when she gets back."

"knew."

The servant was a little impatient, waved his hand, and quickly disappeared by the Qianli Lake in the soft sedan.

People around were not surprised. During this period, there were many talented and beautiful women reciting poems and painting by the Qianli Lake. It was even more common for servants to pick up their young ladies like this.

Wen Xun looked at the group of people leaving with a determined smile on his face.
