How about we unite some Hanshe candidates and go all the way to Wang Tixue and He Fangbo to ask for orders to severely punish those who spread rumors?"

Zhang Yuandao: "No rush, we will discuss it after the results are released."

Huang Zunsu nodded and said: "Since we know that it is Dong and Wang who are behind the instigation, we have already turned against the guests. There is no need to rush to punish them. We will first slowly visit and find evidence, and then we will give them a thunderous blow after the list is released."

Wang Binglin praised: "Brother Zhen is very resourceful, so let me and Brother Zhou's two servants go to investigate. These two people are quite capable, and even the Dong family and Wang family don't recognize them."

At this time, they had no intention of admiring the moon. Everyone was drinking and talking about the Han Society. Their boat followed the boat several feet away. There were many pleasure boats on the lake. Forgive Dong Zuyuan and Wang Ruqian would not be suspicious——

The two boats crossed the West Lake one after another and arrived at the east bank of the West Lake. They anchored on the shore about ten feet apart. Zhang Yuan saw a servant woman getting ashore from the boat and going straight to Yongjinmen, so he took her with him.

Following Mu Zhenzhen and Wu Ling ashore, the servant turned around and called Huang Zunsu to follow him ashore. The four of them stood under a peach tree. The peach tree had not yet fallen leaves, with lush branches and thick shade like ink——

About a moment later, under the moonlight, a small sedan slowly came from the Yongjin Gate. Mu Zhenzhen said in Zhang Yuan's ear: "Master, those behind that sedan are Xue Tong and Hui Xiang."

Zhang Yuan said "hmm", his heart aching. He would ask Huang's servant to stop Wang Wei before he got on the boat, but——

The green-covered sedan passed by the peach tree. Zhang Yuan heard Wang Wei in the sedan asking the bearer to stop the sedan, and whispered a few instructions to Xue Tong. Xue Tong agreed, ran to the shore, and asked loudly: "

Which ship is Aunt Xu on?"

The graceful beauty walked up to the bow and said, "Brother Xue, this way——"

Xue Tong asked: "Aunt Xu, who else is on the boat?"

As soon as the beauty hesitated, Xue Tong jumped onto the boat. With great agility, he looked towards the cabin and immediately shouted: "Aunt Xu is lying!" He glared at the beauty and ran off the boat to the sedan chair.

He said loudly: "Weigu, Aunt Xu lied to you. There are several men on the boat. I recognize one of them as Mr. Wang from Huizhou. Yes, that Mr. Wang."

Wang Wei, who was in the green-covered sedan, gave a "hum" and ordered her to go back to the sedan. She hired the sedan driver, so she naturally turned around. The servant girl of Xu's daughter was stunned there, not knowing what to do.

Wang Ruqian and Dong Zuyuan both stood at the bow of the boat at this time. Wang Ruqian didn't say anything and just sneered with his hands behind his hands. Dong Zuyuan slapped his chest with a folding fan and said bitterly: "You are so rude, you are so rude. If it weren't for the many people here, I would

Just let people grab her and get on the boat. How dare a prostitute in a song be so presumptuous, relying on Zhang Yuan's power - she hasn't deregistered her country yet?" The last sentence was asked to the beauty Xu Ansheng.

When Xu Ansheng heard what Dong Zuyuan said, he felt unhappy and said calmly: "Isn't it rumored that Zhang Yuan will take Wang Wei as his concubine after winning the imperial examination? He will naturally quit his citizenship for her then."

"Win the examination." Dong Zuyuan sneered: "Do you really think he is a great talent? If you say he wins the examination, he will win the examination!"

Wang Ruqian also sneered.

Xu Ansheng shook his head slightly. He secretly regretted that he agreed to come to Wang Wei for Dong Zuyuan tonight. It seemed that Dong Zuyuan had very bad intentions. He sighed softly and ordered the boatman to return to the west——

…

The two bearers carried the sedan chair very fast, and Xue Tong was fine. He could barely keep up, but the maid Huixiang was struggling and shouted: "Weigu—Weigu—"

As they approached Yongjinmen, the sedan slowed down, and someone strode behind it to catch up. When they got closer, they heard from the front: "Weigu, wait a moment -"

Xue Tong suddenly turned around. This twelve-year-old child looked like a little lion, with his hands on his hips. He bowed slightly and shouted: "What else is there!"

People come and go in front of the Yongjin Gate. People from the Ming Dynasty like to watch. If there is any disturbance, a group will immediately gather around to watch the excitement——

The pursuer quickly stopped, pointed back and said: "Zhang Jiezi and Mr. Zhang are here."

As soon as Wang Wei in the sedan heard this, he ordered the sedan to stop. Xue Tong had already shouted in surprise: "It's really Mr. Jie, and Brother Xiao Wu." He ran up to meet him.

Zhang Yuan followed Xue Tong quickly to the sedan. Wang Wei was lifting up the bamboo curtain to get under the sedan. Zhang Yuan stepped forward and said, "Xiu Wei, sit back in the sedan and talk."

Wang Wei's beautiful eyes flashed, shining like morning stars, and she sat back in the sedan chair. The two bearers lifted the sedan chair and started walking away, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed.

Zhang Yuan followed the sedan and looked sideways at the small window. The curtains were slowly lifted from the inside, revealing Wang Wei's beautiful face. He smiled sweetly and said in an intoxicatingly sweet voice: "Mr. Jie, we met by chance."

Zhang Yuan smiled and asked, "Xiu Wei, why are you here?"

The little maid Huixiang said quickly: "You don't know, Mr. Jiezi, that my aunt has been in Hangzhou for more than half a month. Miss Ruoxi asked her to take charge of the Shengmei branch in Hangzhou."

Zhang Yuan said "Oh" and patted his forehead, thinking: "I see." He asked Wang Wei: "Then why didn't you come to see me earlier?"

Wang Wei said with a smile: "I've seen it a long time ago. In the early morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiu Wei was outside the east gate of Gongyuan and watched Mr. Jie entering with his handbag on his shoulder. I also came to see him when he came out in the evening. Mr. Jie seemed to be taking a test.

I’m quite proud of myself. I didn’t come to the next two games. I’m going to watch them when the rankings are released——”

Zhang Yuan laughed loudly, his mind was open, and some of his previous doubts and unhappiness disappeared. However, he felt that the full moon at the top of the city was extremely bright, and said: "So if I am not ranked on the list, you will not see me?"

The girl in the sedan chair chuckled and said, "Then I will wait for three years. I can wait, but I don't think Mr. Jie can wait, so this is a must."

Zhang Yuan laughed, stopped laughing after a while and said, "Did you know that I was just standing under the big peach tree on the shore to see if a certain girl would be deceived?"

Wang Wei made an "ah" sound and asked, "What if I'm deceived into boarding the ship?"

Zhang Yuandao: "Then decisively seize him, take him back, and bring him to justice."

Wang Wei could hear the doting in Zhang Yuan's tone. The word "family law" made her feel happy, but she let out a soft "hum" and said, "Am I so stupid? I'm so reckless."

Get on Xu Ansheng's boat, Xu Ansheng is——" He didn't say any more.

Zhang Yuan said seriously: "Xiu Wei is still a bit reckless. If Xu Ansheng is not so kind and coaxes you aboard with an empty boat first, then you won't be able to control where to take you. You must know that Dong Qichang's eldest son Dong Zuyuan is also there.

There are all crazy people on that boat."

Wang Wei thought to himself: "I, Wang Wei, am not a woman who is powerless, and Sister Xu is not that kind of person either. I must have been deceived by Wang Ruqian this time." He said, "Xiangong Jiezi is right, Xiu Wei

Got it." Asked: "How did Mr. Jie meet them by such a coincidence?"

Zhang Yuandao: "In Xilingqiao, my eldest brother was telling me about your boat ride to Xilingqiao last year. I saw Dong Zuyuan boarding the boat, and I heard that they were trying to lure you on board, so I followed you, hero.

Save the beauty."

Wang Wei gave a "gentle" smile and suddenly said: "Mr. Jiezi, then Wang Ruqian and Dong Zuyuan are together, could it be——?"

Zhang Yuan knew what Wang Wei was thinking. It seemed that the rumor of "one day's smooth sailing to the sky" was widely circulated. He smiled slightly and said: "Xiu Wei is smart. I will find out about this matter. Take me there now."

Look at the Shengmei Hangzhou branch." He turned around and told Huang's servant to go back to the ship to report that he would return to the ship later.

Mu Zhenzhen and Wu Ling followed Zhang Yuan and Wang Wei's sedan into Yongjinmen. The Shengmei branch is right next to the Wanxian Bridge when entering from Yongjinmen. It has three street-facing facades, two floors above and below, and three entrances inside and outside. It occupies an area of There are zero per acre, and four hundred and eighty taels of silver were bought. Wang Wei took care of it all. There was also a family of Lu servants, a family of four, who helped Wang Wei. When they saw Zhang Yuan, they came to see Zhang Yuan happily. My uncle also came out to greet me with folded hands——

Wang Wei led Zhang Yuan through the hall to the inner courtyard and said: "This second step will be used as a warehouse. Sister Ruoxi said that next month she will personally send a boatload of silk, satin and cloth to Hangzhou. At that time, this store will be Officially opened."

Zhang Yuandao: "Great, my sister is very busy now, and my brother-in-law also went to Nanjing to take the provincial examination, right?"

Wang Wei said: "Yes, we set off at the beginning of last month."

While we were talking, we entered the third entrance. There was a large patio and a small building in the shape of a Chinese character. There was a small round table beside the patio. The moonlight shone down from the rectangular patio, and you could clearly see the watermelon, vegetarian dishes, and fruits on the table. There were moon cakes and a pot of wine, which seemed to be Shaoxing bean wine. A maid sat dozing next to it. When she heard the noise, she raised her eyes to see Wang Wei and Zhang Yuan. She was surprised and happy. She quickly got up and said to Zhang Yuan Wanfu: "Why is Master Jiezi here!"

Zhang Yuan recognized this maid, her name was Xiao Tao, and she was the maid of her sister Ruoxi. It was probably because her sister saw that Wang Wei had few people around her, so she asked this maid to help Wang Wei——

Zhang Yuan sat down at the small round table and said with a smile: "Xiu Wei is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, do you want someone to accompany you?"

When Wang Wei saw Zhang Yuan tonight, he was extremely happy and said, "Isn't Mr. Jie going to accompany his friends on the boat?"

Zhang Yuan smiled without answering, and cut the watermelon in half with a paper knife. One half was divided into five fans, one for him, Wang Wei, Mu Zhenzhen, Huixiang, and Xiao Tao. The other half was given to Yao in the outer courtyard. Uncle, Xue Tong and the others ate it, Wang Wei said: "No need to send it, I prepared a big watermelon for them earlier."

The moonlight in the courtyard gradually shifted to the right position. Looking up, you could see the full moon from all directions in the sky. Wang Wei raised his head to look at the bright moon, looked down at Zhang Yuan, and said with affection, "There is a small garden behind here." , Sir Mr. Jie, would you like to take a look?"

Zhang Yuan followed Wang Wei to the back garden. It was indeed a small garden, not much bigger than the patio in front. There were several osmanthus trees and it was very fragrant——

Wang Wei said: "After being busy for a while, I want to plant some flowers and plants in this small garden."

Zhang Yuan said "hmm" and asked, "Xiu Wei, are you still used to learning Longmen Accounting and running a cloth shop?"

Wang Wei said: "Fortunately, I'm just afraid that I'll be too busy and won't have any free time."

Zhang Yuandao: "Hire more people and you won't be too busy. There will definitely be time for reciting poems and painting."

Wang Wei couldn't help but smile and said: "Although I am a little busier, I am actually happy and feel at ease. I used to travel around the mountains and rivers all day long, but I always felt as if I had lost something, as if I had lost something, and I was always looking for -"

Zhang Yuan looked at the girl bathed in the moonlight and asked, "Have you found the lost thing?"

Wang Wei's fine eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. After a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Yuan and said softly: "I thought I found it, but I don't know if I really found it. I need Xianggong Jie to help me look for this." "

The look in this girl's eyes and her whispers were really captivating. Zhang Yuan took her hand and said, "Okay, Xiu Wei and I will look for her together."
