Chapter 68: Return to the capital
Looking at the Jingshi city wall from a distance, which was seven or eight zhang high, Liu Shuangxuan sighed for a while, after a year and a half, she had to return here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I don't know what will happen if it goes on, what will happen to Qin Siyang's little ghost after he becomes the emperor? She returned to Beijing according to his wishes, but how are the two of them going to meet?
She couldn't think of this, so after thinking about it, she didn't think about it anymore.
Before entering the city, Liu Shuangli changed back into women's clothes according to Duan Ye's wishes, and with the appearance of peach and willow green, she dressed up as Miss Shi's personal maid. After entering the city, Ling Feng said goodbye to the Shi family and left on his own on the grounds that he wanted to carry a letter and a message.
Shi Qiong, the eldest lady of the Shi family, although she is willful and rude, but she still knows some severity, she changed back into women's clothes earlier than Liu Shuangli, and when she was still two miles away from the city gate, she obediently sat in the carriage with the two girls, and did not dare to show her face in the splendid land of the capital.
When Liu Shuangli came to the capital three years ago, the situation in the palace was not yet peaceful, and at that time, she only thought about Qin Siyang's safety, and did not have the heart to pay attention to the cultural scenery in Beijing. Later, he borrowed to live in the courtyard of the eldest young master of the Jin family, and he also mostly moved around the Jingxiao area, and there were not many opportunities to enter the inner city.
Later, she left the capital, and traveled all the way, first seeing too much of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and then to the desolate state of the north, like the prosperity of the capital, it gradually faded in her heart.
Looking back now, I only feel that the capital is still the same capital, no matter how many changes there are outside, no matter how poor and chaotic it is, it can't change its prosperity as the imperial capital of a country.
The carriage drove into the inner city, and it was not until it entered the noisy city that Liu Shuangli determined from the two mouthy girls that the uncle of the Shi family and the young lady who came to defect this time was a great figure in the capital.
Zheng Erpin's right capital imperial history, supervising and correcting the affairs of the DPRK and China, and also in charge of hearing various major cases and assessing officials of various ministries, has a transcendent status, which can be described as a real official position. But Cheng Fangying, the uncle of the Shi family, is more known for his wife, who is a real figure in the capital, and it is the sister-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Who is Zhen Guogong?
Chen Shangsun, the prince of Zhenguo, is currently the governor of the Right Army Governor's Office, and he is also a powerful figure in the army. But his official price is still secondary, and the most important thing about his reputation is the title of Duke of Zhenguo, which is the only duke title left since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. And everyone in Beijing knows that among today's noble marquises, Zhenguo Gong is the hottest one.
When the emperor was in power, in order to fight the magnates, I don't know how many lords have been awarded since the founding of the country, but the prince of Zhenguo has always been standing, not only that, but also the saints. Now the third prince of the Zhenguo Mansion has married the second princess of the Queen Mother.
Although the lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty and continued to send the official career, although the horse Yibin can no longer be a high-ranking official with real power, and can only receive the bulk price below the fourth grade, but the family of the lord can become a relative of the emperor. And has an in-law relationship with the emperor's clan, what to do, how much information is better-informed, and he can get more hands than other families. What's more, the third son of the Zhenguo Mansion is married to the princess of the Queen Mother, who is now in real power. This alone is not even comparable to today's emperors.
After Liu Shuangli knew this, he was really a little smacked. She really didn't expect that the Shi family in Xi'an, which she inadvertently bumped into, would have such a powerful relative background. No wonder when Ling Feng heard that she had been forcibly followed by the Shi family, not only did he not let her leave, but he even followed him closely.
It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry.
The carriage went all the way down the avenue, and as the flow of people and vehicles around it gradually increased, the speed inevitably slowed down. As soon as the carriage suddenly stopped moving slowly, Liu Shuangxuan was stunned, and looked out of the car with Shi Qiong.
"What's going on?" Shi Qiong said.
"There seems to be an accident ahead. The one who replied was Shi Lang, the third son of Shi Lang, who had always been silent.
Seeing that the people and cars in front of him were crowded, and the noisy and shouting really couldn't get out of the way, Shi Qiong could only wait no matter how unhappy he was.
The subordinate who went to visit came back after a while and replied: "Third son, eldest lady, there are two cars colliding in front, and the two sides do not give in to each other, and they are arguing on the road. ā
"What kind of carriage collided?" Duan Ye asked.
"I heard that it is the carriage of Huai'an Houfu and the carriage of Shuntian Mansion. The servant replied.
Liu Shuangli was shocked when he heard this.
She doesn't know much about the Marquis of Huai'an, but she thinks that she is the Marquis of the capital, and she has not been robbed of the marquis and destroyed the coupons, and no matter how bad her status is, she always has a status outside. If I remember correctly, it's just an official price of six grades, and no matter how much power you have, it won't be high. How could such a petty official dare to openly shout with the people in the Houfu on the streets of the capital, and watch the crowding people in front of him to watch the excitement, but he didn't save face at all, what is the situation?
Not only Liu Shuangli was surprised, but the master and servant of the Shi family were also surprised when they heard this.
But no matter how strange it is, after all, I just arrived in the capital and I don't know the situation, even if my relatives are hard in the background, they don't dare to cause trouble. Seeing that the road ahead is blocked and I can't walk, I have to take a detour.
The mansion of Cheng Fangying, the right capital, is located on Dingfu Street in the northeast of Xicheng, and the carriage of the Shi family is the inner city that enters from the Xuanwu Gate, all the way to the north, and there is no fork in the middle. Now the avenue ahead is blocked and can not move forward, the small alleys next to it are too small, can not run the carriage, if you want people and vehicles to enter Dingfu Street together, the only way to turn back to the Xuanwu Gate, and then go around another street, through a slightly wider alley.
Hearing that he was going to turn around and leave, Shi Qiong's face was displeased, and he was angry with Huai'an Hou and Nashun Tianfu, and he kept counting all the way, until the carriage suddenly stopped again, and someone asked loudly in front of him: "May I ask the young master and young lady of the Shi family in Xi'an?"
Shi Qiong stopped talking for a moment, lifted the curtain and looked out.
I saw a few people in front of me riding horses, and the one who asked was a young man in charge, everyone was dressed up, less than thirty years old, handsome, and talented.
When Shi Qiong saw this, he was overjoyed, just thinking that Jingzhong was different, and even the steward was in such a situation, which was really amazing. It's just that she only cares about her heart, and she didn't expect that she was an eldest lady, looking at other young men in such a daze, how unruly it was.
Liu Shuangli was fine, but he turned his head and pretended not to see it, the two personal maids were not good, so he had to cough lightly and said cautiously: "The Juanpanu maid you asked for by the eldest lady has been found." ā
Only then did Shi Qiong come back to her senses, and turned her face to glare at her maid angrily.
This interruption, Duan Ye outside has already finished answering with the young steward. Shi Sangongzi drove his horse to the carriage window and whispered a few words to his sister, then left with Duan Ye and the others, while the carriage where the young lady was sitting continued to move slowly.
Looking through the screen window, I saw the carriage slowly passing through the vermilion lacquer carved gate with a square stone lion, and about a shot forward, a corner gate appeared. The carriage did not stop, but entered straight through the corner gate, and walked forward on the large bluestone-paved road, until it turned past a wall before stopping.
Suddenly, I heard a few greetings from the mother-in-law and the girl, the car door opened, the bamboo curtain in front was pulled and rolled up, the peach and willow green got out of the car first, Liu Shuangli jumped down after him, and just wanted to turn around to help Shi Qiong, but saw that the eldest lady was already waiting impatiently, pushed away Liu Shuangli's outstretched hand, and jumped out of the carriage. The pedals brought by the Imperial History Mansion have all become decorations.
Seeing the mother-in-law and girl who came to greet her before, they were all surprised, and they never thought of seeing such a behaving lady in everyone, and they were speechless for a while. As soon as Shi Qiong stood still, she stepped forward and bowed first, saying, "It's Miss Shi family's cousin, the old woman has seen it." ā
Shi Qiong tilted her head and looked at the leading mother-in-law, and saw that although she was dressed as a servant, she was brightly dressed and had an excellent texture, which was different from other mothers-in-law and girls.
"The old man's surname is Song, and Miss Cousin will call me Mama Song. The old body is the dowry girl when the lady gets married, and she can't be idle when she is old, and now she is in charge of some things to usher in, don't be surprised by Miss Cousin. The old man went to the office on an errand, and the lady was unfortunate today, she just went out to meet guests, and she was not at the house for a while. However, when the lady went out, she instructed that the cousin and the cousin in Xi'an would arrive in the next two days, and the old man must receive ......."
As he was talking, there was a chuckle on the side: "Mama Song, why are you still standing in the tuyere of the hall if you want to receive it well, the girl's family, isn't it tiring." ā
With this chuckle, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy stepped forward. I saw that he was wearing a crown of jade and purple gold inlaid with treasures, two dragons grabbing pearls and gold to wipe his forehead, wearing a cotton robe embroidered with red gold thread and treasure flowers, wearing a multicolored silk moire horn belt, and a pair of soap-colored thin-soled fast boots. With a face like a moon, smiling eyebrows and eyes, and thin lips slightly hooked, he looks really a handsome and graceful young man.
Shi Qiong's face immediately turned red when he saw it: "Who is this son?"
The young man laughed: "You are the legendary cousin Joan, I heard my mother say that every time my aunt comes back to the letter, no one can be exempted, but Cousin Joan can't, every time I have to mention a few words in the letter, not that my cousin is naughty here, or that Cousin Joan has learned some new tricks from which martial artist." It's so good that people are worried, and when I see it today, my cousin is really different from the young ladies and girls in Beijing, look at this spirit, a chivalrous demeanor, which makes people admire, haha, my cousin is good. ā
To be honest, a man with a foreign surname said something out of place to a girl who met for the first time. can give this bold and uninhibited young man who looks handsome and gentle, but can't hide his behavior, after a joke, this is not only not rude, but it is as calm and upright as a chivalrous man at first sight.
What a special teenager.
Shi Qiong's face turned even redder: "I don't know which cousin it is?"
"This is the third cousin. The reply was Shi Lang, who had just put the horses away and turned to the second gate behind the young man.
"It turned out to be the third cousin. Shi Qiong hurriedly returned the salute. She remembered that her uncle had three sons and four daughters, two of whom were born from the second son, and the little cousin of the third line remembered that it was the one from the first step.
The third young master of the Imperial History Mansion in the right capital, I remember that Ling Fengti said on the day he entered Beijing that he was a jinshi of the current department, and he was still a second-class passenger.
Liu Shuangli couldn't help but look at the third young master of the Cheng family carefully, and when he saw him, he didn't avoid it, but thought in his heart, this third young master is the second class heir, that is, the fourth place in today's science and technology, and I don't know what position he holds in Beijing now, can he face the saint?
Thinking of the method that Han Fu set for Qin Siyang to be a little unable to get on the stage, he couldn't help but block it in his heart. And this third young master Cheng of the second class is so handsome and graceful, if he can face the saint, he must also enter the holy eye, otherwise he can't say it, hey, it's messy to think about.
