It was difficult to resist the hospitality, lunch was eaten at Cao's house, except for Xu Wei's two drinks, everyone did not drink.

After lunch, everyone was about to say goodbye, a pretty maid entered the door, saw that there were many people in the house, was stunned at first, and then did not greet everyone, and said directly to Cao Sheng's wife: "Miss, the master asked you to go back, you hurry up and pack up, the slave is waiting for you outside." With that, he turned around and went out, arrogant and rude.

"Who is this? Why are you so rude? Xu Wei said dissatisfiedly, Zhang You and they were also very curious, and they all looked at Cao Sheng's wife, but Cao Sheng and his mother next to him lowered their heads with red faces, looking embarrassed and angry.

"That's the maid of the Han family, who was *spoiled* by her mother, which made the adults laugh." Cao Sheng's wife explained in shame, got up and said to her mother-in-law and Cao Sheng: "Mother, Xianggong, go back to the concubine." ”

"Do you want Zichu to accompany you?" Cao Sheng's mother asked.

She shook her head: "Forget it, I didn't let Xianggong suffer the eyes, I'd better go back by myself, anyway, it's not far, I'll be back before dinner." ”

Cao Sheng didn't speak, but his mother nodded and sighed softly.

"Zichu, what's going on?" When Cao Sheng's wife went out, Zhang You couldn't help but ask.

"It's a shame to say it, don't ask, my lord!" Cao Sheng obviously didn't want to mention it, so he politely declined.

Now Zhang You naturally didn't want to ask again, apologized, and told the mother and son not to worry, Cao Tongzhi's affairs were taken care of by himself, so he said goodbye to everyone.

"Zichu is rarely talented, and he fell in love with Xiucai at a young age, but he was caught by the daughter of the richest man in Hangzhou, the Chen family, and he worked hard to marry him, but it was a good story at that time. The Chen family was actually very reluctant, but at that time, his father had already become a fellow intellectual, and he was a talented man at the beginning of his life, and he had a bright future in the future, so he acquiesced, and the result was ......"

Qi Jiguang made everyone understand the reason for the matter in just a few words, to put it bluntly, it is simple, and it is just a bridge where Lao Taishan looks down on his son-in-law.

"But looking at Chen, I don't mean to look down on Zichu." Zhang Youdao.

Qi Jiguang nodded: "Yes, this girl is still very good, she grew up in a honey pot when she was young, and she didn't enjoy happiness when she arrived at Cao's house, but she was willing to be happy, it was really rare, and Lao Cao praised her last time...... Who knew that he would be killed the next day, so that Lao Tzu could find the murderer, and he had to pick his skin! ”

As he spoke, he became angry and claimed that he had changed.

"It seems that this Chen is quite open-minded and knows how to strive for happiness, but he gambled on Zichu for the rest of his life, but Zichu did not improve, and it was not glorious to go back and forth to his parents' house, no wonder even the maid dared to kick his nose in the face." Zhang You said with a little emotion.

Li Yan said hatefully: "It's just because I don't clean her up, if it's me, I have to slap her!" ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Zicheng, since you have met him, if you can help him, please help." ”

Zhang You nodded: "It depends on the situation, if you are really talented, you don't need to say it, I am eager to seek talent now." Of course, even if he doesn't have any talent, he can always find a suitable errand for him. ”

In the afternoon, Liu Chuanfang took the other party to see Zhang You in the General Military Mansion, Zhang You chatted with him for a few words, and felt that the other party did not look like a person who participated in the murder, and did not embarrass him, but excused him: "The poison in Lord Cao is very powerful, and ordinary means cannot be detected, so don't embarrass Lord Liu." Only then did Liu Chuanfang turn his anger into joy, and led a thousand thankful men to leave.

Qi Jiguang went to the barracks, Liu Xiangdong and Mo Rigen also went out to investigate, Zhang You was a little headache by Cao Tongzhi's case, found Li Yan, and asked her to go out for a walk with him.

Li Yan happily agreed, and neither of them took anyone with them, so they left the General Military Mansion and went straight to the shore of the West Lake.

The general military palace is located near Yanggong Embankment, in the late Yuan Dynasty, the West Lake was neglected to manage, the rich and noble people surrounded the fields along the lake, so that the West Lake became increasingly barren, most of the lake was silted up into the lotus field, until the Ming Xuande orthodox years, Hangzhou restored prosperity, and the local officials began to pay attention to the West Lake again.

During the Zhengde period, Yang Mengying of Zhizhou broke through the resistance from the rich, and with the support of the patrol of the imperial history of Cheliang, he asked for the dredging of the West Lake, and the West Lake restored the old Tang and Song dynasties, so that the west of the Su Causeway to the Maojiabu area of Hongchun Bridge was the water surface, and the dug out of the silt was in addition to widening the Su Causeway, and the long causeway was built in the west of the West Lake, which was called "Yanggong Causeway".

When the wax moon is approaching, the willow leaves on both sides of the embankment have fallen off the essence, and the breeze is blowing, which looks quite sluggish, but there are still many pedestrians wandering in the meantime, which shows the charm of the West Lake.

"If only one day we could build a house on the edge of the West Lake, and only the two of us would live there." Li Yan stopped under a thick willow tree and looked at the blue and magnificent lake in the distance.

Zhang You leaned on the willow tree and said with a smile: "Auntie, do you remember when we first met?" At that time, it seemed to be such a big willow tree, you were dressed in purple, and suddenly appeared in front of me, and I was subdued by you in just one face......"

"I forgot all of this...... Also, how many times have you been told, don't call me aunt when no one is around, call me sister. ”

"Okay, but why are you willing to let me call you aunt again?" Zhang You smiled evilly.

"you!" Li Yan took a sip and returned to the topic: "Let Liu Chuanfang find me a place nearby, I want to build a house here, and I can see the blue lake every day when I get up." ”

"It's not simple, just go back and tell him, he won't dare to refute the face of your brocade guard."

Zhang You said, and then as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he dragged Li Yan's hand down the embankment.

"Where are you going?" Li Yan struggled for a while and didn't break free, thinking that no one knew him anyway, so he let him hold it.

"Take you to a good place."

"You've been here before?"

Of course, it's only the afterlife, not the present. Zhang You thought secretly and said, "Then you don't care, just follow me." ”

There is a boat on the shore, it is the kind of flat wooden boat that swims in the lake, Zhang You dragged Li Yan to find one and got on the boat, and instructed the captain: "Uncle, take us to Xiaoyingzhou to have a look." ”

"Xianggong, are you going to see the release pond?" The captain agreed, and asked with a smile while swaying, and his eyes couldn't help but stop looking at Li Yan twice.

"Yes, I came from the north with my wife, and I have long heard that there are islands in the lake, and there are lakes in the islands, so I went to see them." Zhang Youdao.

"The release pond is also called a lake, huh? Farewell is being called by, right? The captain laughed.

Zhang You couldn't help but be stunned, he remembered very clearly, it is true that there are famous three pools reflecting the moon on Xiaoyingzhou Island, why, hasn't it been built yet?

"It's not called a lake, that's what my friend said, maybe he's wrong." He said perfunctorily, afraid that he would be suspected if he talked too much, so he no longer accosted the captain, but sat on the edge of the cabin and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the lake.

Li Yan was curious, didn't ask much, and sat next to him.

I don't know how long it took, I heard the captain say "arrived", Zhang You came back to his senses, looked in the direction pointed by the captain, was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
