Chapter Thirty-Three Recalling Old Events

Wang Yinran ran into Zhu Zhu, a classmate of Si Tianjian, outside the east side gate of Prince Jing's Mansion, but he did not dare to recognize him immediately.

She waited at the entrance of the alley for about two hours before Zhu Zhu came out of the palace and secretly followed her, looking for the door of Yueyang Hou's mansion. After that, she went back to the inn to freshen up and make a special trip to visit with gifts.

Not long after the announcement, Zhu Zhu ran out in a hurry, saw Wang Yinran, and grabbed her hand. "Yinran, why did you get to Jiqing?"

Wang Yinran had already made up his excuse: "You have forgotten, my aunt is in the business of selling Bei in Jiqing, and her studies are gone, so she has to come here to make a living. No, I thought you might be at home, so I came here to visit.

"

"What's wrong with visiting or not? You're a heretic, but you're still not a classmate!" Zhu Zhu pulled Wang Yinran into the door, "Let's go, it's almost dinner time, you are not allowed to leave, you must have dinner at my house!"

The Yueyang Marquis Mansion is a first-class mansion in Jiqing City. Zhu Zhenyou originally wanted to give the mansion to Prince Jing, but Prince Jing was a man who did not take away people's love, so he only bought the house from a wealthy family in Jiqing.

If the outer residence is used as a prince's palace, its scale and quality are still far behind that of a prince's palace.

After going around and around, Zhu Zhu first took Wang Yinran to the back house to meet his mother. Wang Yinran was such a well-behaved person, which naturally made Zhu's mother smile. There was still an hour before dinner, so Zhu Zhu took Wang Yinran to the boudoir to reminisce about the past.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, and becoming a companion who shared hardships under the Po Cult, Zhu Zhu naturally had thousands of things she wanted to ask, but what she cared about the most was this.

"When we were checking records in Huangshi Mountain, we heard that you and Chang Yu were both missing. What happened?"

Wang Yinran sighed softly.

"Actually, the gang of gangsters who kidnapped us never left. They were so evil that they intercepted me again that night. Fortunately, Chang Yu showed up in time and took me to jump into the stream. We swam along the stream to the outside of the mountain.

.But Chang Yu’s leg was injured, and I sent him back to the city for treatment. Then something happened in the mountains.”

Zhu Zhu also sighed softly: "You two are lucky to have returned to the city. None of the teachers who were in the mountains on the day of the disaster came back!"

Wang Yinran asked: "Then how did you escape from danger?"

Zhu Zhu replied: "After learning that you were missing, Master Yun ordered the suspension of registration, and all students returned to Si Tianjian. Although everyone was scared to death on the day of the disaster, the compound was outside the mountain, and there was no actual reception.

What serious damage.”

"What happened next? You went back to Jiqing?"

"Hey, Si Tianjian is in a mess. I heard in the city that things are not much better. The mother-in-law who took care of me insisted on telling me to go home. I was really scared, so I came back. What about you? Have you been staying with Zhongxuan?

"

Wang Yinran had already made up a lie: "I went back home, but couldn't stay any longer. I wanted to go back to Si Tianjian, but was already controlled by Zhong Xuanwei, and then I came to Jiqing."

Zhu Zhu suddenly felt like a daughter and asked weakly: "What about Chang Yu? How is he?" Her face turned red as soon as she asked.

Wang Yinran thought she was concerned about Chang Yu, but he never thought that she actually wanted to learn something about Miao Cheng from Chang Yu's situation.

"I haven't seen him since I sent him for treatment, and I don't know how he is doing now!" Wang Yinran was lying, but in his heart he was scolding Chang Yu for not keeping his promise.

Zhu Zhu's expression darkened, but she quickly put away her thoughts and asked, "Then what are your next plans?"

Wang Yinran continued to lie: "My uncle's camel caravan went north to Tuqu, and then west to Tinglei City. I want to go out with the caravan to have a look."

"Ah, it's so hard to walk in a caravan. How can you, a girl, handle it? It's not convenient either!"

"Hey, what should I do? I have to have something to make ends meet!"

Zhu Zhu's eyes turned to her heart: "Can you trust me?"

"You and I are classmates, so of course I can trust you!"

"That's good, don't worry about your affairs, just take care of it on me!"

"This...how is this appropriate? I can't trouble you!"

"Oh, my family is Jiqing's 'local snake' no matter how you say it. If you don't mind this matter, just listen to me!"

The two girls hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they really had a lot to talk about. Before they knew it, the girl from the front came calling for dinner. Zhu Zhu picked up Wang Yinran and went straight to the dining room.

Zhu Zhenyou and Zhu's mother were already seated. Zhu Zhenyou had learned from his wife that his daughter's classmate was a guest at home. He was in a good mood. When he saw the two walking hand in hand, he stood up to welcome them as an exception.

Wang Yinran quickly saluted: "Yinran has met Uncle Zhu and Aunt Zhu."

Zhu Zhenyou raised his hands and said, "You're welcome, girl. Please sit down."

Zhu Zhu asked Wang Yinran to sit opposite her father, and she sat opposite her mother. "Have mom and dad told you?"

Zhu Zhenyou said: "It's rare for you to have a good friend come to your house, why do you treat the guests so sparingly?"

Zhu Zhu glanced down at her slightly casual attire and smiled coquettishly: "Dad, you and I are the best friends in Si Tianjian. Since we are good friends, you should be more casual!"

Zhu's mother smiled and said, "You must be hungry, so try it while it's hot. These are some of Jiqing's famous dishes that I asked the chef to make. Let's see how they taste."

After the food tasted good, Wang Yinran couldn't stop praising her. She was pretty, had a sweet voice, and could talk, which made the old couple very happy.

Zhu Zhu struck while the iron was hot and said coquettishly to Zhu Zhenyou: "Dad, my daughter has something to ask for."

Zhu Zhenyou twisted his beard with his hand: "Oh, what do you want to ask dad to do?"

"Actually, I'm not helping my daughter, I'm helping Yinran."

Zhu Zhenyou said generously: "Let's talk about it. As long as dad can help, I will definitely do it."

"We probably won't be able to go back to Si Tianjian. My daughter depends on her father to have food and clothing, but she needs to support herself. No, she came to Jiqing just to go to Mobei caravan with her uncle for business.

That's not what girls do, so my daughter begs you to agree and ask Yinran to stay in our home."

Before Zhu Zhenyou could express his stance, Wang Yinran politely refused.

"Thank you to my uncle, aunt, and Zhu'er for their kindness. I understand it. But as the saying goes, 'no reward comes without merit', so I have the hands and feet and want to make a living by my own ability."

Zhu Zhenyou nodded appreciatively and said to Zhu Zhu: "Study hard and see how others work hard, and then look at you, sitting at home all day long, what's your future?"

Zhu Zhu was dissatisfied: "Why am I staying at home? Don't I often go to the princess's place? If daddy says this again, I might as well go to the palace and become a maid!"

Zhu Zhenyou's eyes lit up: "Speaking of the palace, dad remembered something, but I have to ask you two first, how far have you studied in Si Tianjian?"

Zhu Zhu curled her lips: "The verification is not being carried out normally, and I don't know what my level is."

Wang Yinran received the message: "Actually, Zhu'er and I have already established a solid foundation. What's left is a lot of practice from Guan Tian."

Zhu Zhenyou thought for a while after hearing this, and then said: "In that case, I have a good official who can recommend Yinran."

Zhu Zhu said quickly: "What kind of public service? Dad recommends it to me as well?"

Zhu Zhenyou nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll find something for you to do so that you don't waste time at home. Tomorrow, I would like the prince to recommend you and send you two to the Zijin Terrace of the Hongjing Hall."

Wang Yinran's first step of his plan was successful. He sat at the table and slowly put away the telepathy technique.

Her second step is to meet You Yun. Of course, Zhu Zhu is not the person to be the recommender.

That day, Zhu Zhu rushed You Yun back from the City God's Temple. Zhu Zhu took Wang Yinran into Prince Jing's Mansion. Wang Yinran pretended not to recognize You Yun, but You Yun recognized Wang Yinran at first sight. His refined temperament was like a reprint of Yin Ran.

Pu Xuan.

Zhu Zhu first asked: "How is the prince's health?"

You Yun replied: "It's okay. I just came back from praying at the City God's Temple, and I'll be able to get out of bed soon!"

You Yun looked at Wang Yinran and pretended to be mysterious: "Does Miss Wang still recognize me?"

Wang Yinran frowned slightly: "Yinran has never seen the princess before."

You Yun also had a childlike innocence, and asked the two girls to wait, and then went to the inner room to dress up. When he came out again, he was dressed like a Taoist nun.

"It's you!" Wang Yinran deliberately covered his mouth to suppress his shock.

"It's Pindao, girl, remember?"

Wang Yinran quickly bowed down and said, "I didn't know she was the princess that day, so I offended you so much. Please forgive me!"

You Yun gently helped her up: "No offense, you were very polite to me back then!"

The guests sat down again, and You Yun, wearing this Taoist robe, chatted with the two girls. "I heard that the prince said that Zijin Terrace hired two female heavenly masters. If I am not mistaken, it is you two, right?"

Zhu Zhu said happily: "Has the prince agreed? Daddy hasn't told me yet!"

You Yun said: "The New Hong Sutra Hall has gathered all the sages from all over the world. Everything else is fine, except that the Guantian Division still lacks talents. Since you two are the disciples of Si Tianjian, you have to settle in Zijin Terrace."

Zhu Zhu asked: "Then when can we perform our duties?"

You Yun said: "We have to wait, the Zijin Tower has not been built yet. Recently, everyone has been busy with foreign affairs, so the project supervision has been slow!"

Zhu Zhu asked curiously: "Where is this Zero Chuang Country? Is it far away?"

You Yun shook his head: "I don't know the specific location. I just say that it is overseas far to the west. It takes half a year to travel by boat."

Wang Yinran suddenly said: "Actually, the land route is closer. You only need to go through Baiyue and then go thousands of miles west to get there. However, there are many dangerous roads in Baiyue Mountain. It really takes more effort to walk than the sea route, so everyone prefers to take the sea route."

You Yun cast an appreciative look: "Miss Wang is indeed very knowledgeable."

Wang Yinran said modestly: "It's not because I'm eager to learn, it's just that my family is in the southwest, and these things are common sense in my hometown."

"Are you from Baiyue?"

"No, because I'm from Huanhua City in the southwest, which is close to Baiyue." The beauty started to panic, her face not changing and her heart not beating.

"Oh." You Yun said thoughtfully, "I heard that Huan Hua was attacked by Baiyue. Were you at home at that time?"

Wang Yinran shook his head: "Yinran's home is in the mountains, far away from Huanhua, so the war has not affected us."

You Yun asked again: "How is Huanhua's guard Yin Ying?"

Wang Yinran responded fluently: "With General Yin here, Huanhua City is impregnable, and the people admire her very much."

You Yun suddenly lost consciousness and realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly adjusted himself and asked Wang Yinran with a squinted smile. "There is something I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Princess, may I ask?"

"Does Miss Wang have a sweetheart?"

Wang Yinran's face turned red and he lowered his head, but did not answer.

You Yun understood it as soon as she saw it, and was overjoyed. Back then, she pretended to be a Taoist nun and visited around. Zhu Zhu and Wang Yinran were both her candidates for Prince Ying. Now Zhu Zhu pretends to be Miao Cheng, and she can't count on Wang Yinran.

But he ran headlong into his arms and did not take the opportunity to accept it for Prince Jing. God did not take it but he was blamed for it.

She had made up her mind and immediately said to the two of them: "When the ceremony official chooses an auspicious day to open the purple gold platform, I will invite the prince to come on the stage to worship heaven. You two must be well prepared!"
