Chapter 5: Fast Forward Sixteen Years

Spring goes to spring and back, and sixteen years pass suddenly.

Eighteen-year-old Zhao Yanheng, wearing an inconspicuous muslin robe, walked on foot in the morning light, Dong Rang, who had been here a few days ago, followed behind him and pointed out, panting and puffing: "Master, turn right, the one with Xilian on the door is." ”

Joy Couplet?

Zhao Yanheng's body is like a jade tree, his face is like a moon, Emperor Yuanyou's handsome appearance when he was young and his mother's beautiful face are perfectly integrated on him, and his facial features are becoming more and more delicate and handsome, but unfortunately after he heard the word Xilian, his face that was looking forward to meeting for a long time instantly sank, and his black eyes exuded coldness.

Pengmen and happy to come to the beads, husband and wife from now to whitehead, horizontal batch: a hundred years together.

In front of an ordinary house with white bricks and black tiles, there are red and black letters, and there is really such a dazzling couplet.

Zhao Yanheng's hand just pressed on the word 'white head', and his thin and tightly pursed lips pulled up a mocking smile.

Even if they get married, it's not a big deal, that person is just a short-lived ghost.

The widow had nothing to mind, and if she hadn't been a widow, she wouldn't have been able to serve in the palace.

Zhao Yanheng tried to convince himself, but his hand unconsciously tightened, and the thick red paper was slid out of four gaps by the strength of his fingers.

Zhao Yanheng never minded that Li Fei was a widow, but Zhao Yanheng minded that Li Fei had been thinking about a husband who had died, and the reason why she entered the palace in her previous life was just to continue the rank of her husband's family.

It is said that the emperor can command the world, but when he is the emperor, he can't command a woman.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Although Dong Rang felt that Zhao Yanheng was a little strange recently, his absolute loyalty made Dong Rang only know how to obey orders. Dong Rang will never know that it is a man's jealous face.

Zhao Yanheng was immersed in the love when he hated not to meet and was not married, shaped like a sculpture, but he was not immersed for long, and there was movement inside, and someone walked towards the door.

Dong Rang reminded in a low voice: "Master, this family is out." ”

Zhao Yanheng came back to his senses, his eyes were still burning at the door, his feet took a few steps back, and he hid nearby.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl came out of the door, with a white face, a petite body, and a copper basin on her waist, and sprinkled the residual water in the copper basin at the door little by little. After a while, she brought out a young girl.

Zhao Yanheng's eyes lit up, and it was Li Fei who came out.

In his previous life, Zhao Yanheng saw Li Fei for the first time, Li Fei had already put on a standard palace dress, combed her hair in a bun that was too old for her, and was patiently playing childish games with his two young sisters. And now Li Fei is a bright and cheerful appearance that he has never had in his memory. She was wearing a crimson embroidered gown, a light blue pleated skirt underneath, a hanging bun on her head, a jade ring of turquoise distribution in the middle, and five-colored beaded flowers on both sides. At this moment, Li Fei is bathed in the morning light, his skin is like a condensed eyebrow, and his eyes are shining when he is not smiling, like a peony blooming in the breeze, bright and dazzling.

Zhao Yanheng's heart was pounding, he had seen each other for three years, and it was still what he wanted.

Li Feihao's wrist was bare and gently landed on the happy couplet that Zhao Yanheng had just covered, Zhao Yanheng couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering, as if Li Fei's hand fell on the back of his hand.

The little maid said angrily: "Three girls, look, I don't know whose cat's paws scratched it." ”

Li Fei also seemed to be angry, and said casually: "The cat's paws are not that big, they look like dog paws." ”

The little maid was serious, and said, "If I see that wild dog, I have to hit it twice." ”

Li Fei scolded and agreed, and ordered repeatedly: "Forget it, paint the screen." Tell Sister-in-law Jiang to put breakfast aside and boil a bowl of paste first. You move a chair, take a shovel to clean this one, and I'll ask the second brother to write a new one and paste it. ”

The newlywed couplet should be posted for a month, so it is ugly and unlucky, so it should be replaced as soon as possible.

The master and servant went back to their respective jobs, and Dong Rang stood up and said arrogantly: "What cat paws, dog paws, my grandfather's dragon paws!"

Zhao Yanheng reprimanded: "What claws are not claws, your master's hands are not claws." ”

Although he was reprimanded, Zhao Yanheng's tone of speech did not have the anger of being accused of scolding Huai, because Li Fei was still combing the hair of an unmarried girl.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the slave who is wrong, my grandfather's hand. Dong Rang said with a smile.

Zhao Yanheng stood up and asked, "Who in the Li family is married?"

Dong Rang arrived a few days early, and he had already sorted out the Li family's population these days, and said, "It's the second girl of the Li family." It was the one who married someone on the eve of the Li family's exile. At that time, Miss Li Er was only two months old, so when she reached her age, she made up for the vulgar rites of marriage. ”

The second girl of the Li family, Li Jiang. Zhao Yanheng had no impression of this person, so he put it aside, still quietly staying in place, waiting for Li Fei to take another look when he came out to paste the couplet, but Zhao Yanheng was destined to be disappointed, so he stepped on the chair and worked at the door, and then a sister-in-law Jiang came out, and finally a man in his early twenties, wearing a gray cloth dress, with long eyebrows and thin eyes, red lips and white teeth, very scholarly elegance, but it can be seen that he looks weaker.

Dong Rang said softly: "This is Li Su, the eldest son of Li Shufan, and the second grandson of Li Gong." He is not in good health, he is considered a sick man, and he is a small official in Wenlan Pavilion. Over the years, the Li family has been accommodating and sheltered by many places, and the family rarely works as an errand in Lin'an Mansion, and now only the eldest son and grandson Li Xun are in Lin'an Jianshui Station as a post officer, which was reported and escorted a few years ago, and the other Li family members except for the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law died early, and the married Li eldest girl and Li second girl, the others turned a blind eye and let them live in Kunming City. ”

Dong Rang looked at Zhao Yanheng's expression as he spoke, knowing that he was interested in Miss Li San, and continued: "The slave maid has been staring at the Li family for three days, and she has only seen Miss Li San go in and out twice, once she went to Wenlan Pavilion with Second Brother Li to read books, and once she went back to a family surnamed Lin, and the neighbors on the left and right have a good opinion of her, and she is a very well-behaved girl. ”

Although Dong Rang didn't know where Zhao Yanheng knew that there was such a girl here, he asked him to come over to find it early. However, thinking of the identity of the Li family, Dong Rang still admonished very vaguely, after the Li family was a criminal official, the mother of Li San's mother did not let Mrs. Yipin do it, and she was reconciled with Xuanguo Gong, how resolute. Presumably there is a mother and a daughter, and Miss Li San is not a person who is greedy for wealth and nobility.

didn't see Li Fei again, Zhao Yanheng leaned against the wall in disappointment, thought about it, and pointed: "Buy the house next door to the Li family, there is no need for too much decoration in it, it is like an ordinary family, as long as you can live in it." ”

Dong Rang nodded helplessly, knowing that Zhao Yanheng was going to live here and hook up with the third girl Li. Dong Rang couldn't help but slander, the master he was serving was the same as the emperor who lived in the imperial city in this aspect, and it was really a father and son.

Dong Rang nodded, Zhao Yanheng noticed Dong Rang's chin, and said, "Forget it, leave these things to Cheng Anguo to do, and you will rarely appear in this place in the future." ”

Dong Rang let out a wail and said, "Cheng Anguo, that rough man, how can there be a slave and maid to serve the master." ”

Zhao Yanheng pinched Dong Rang's chin. Dong Rang is a eunuch, he has a clean body since he was a child, his chin is smooth and greasy in his twenties, and if he looks closely, it is easy for others to see that he is a eunuch. Zhao Yanheng bared his teeth and smiled: "You have more important things to do." You go to sell a girl about three years old, you have to be bold, you have to be delicate, you have to be beautiful, and it is best that your eyebrows and eyes can be somewhat similar to your grandfather, and you are going to recognize a little sister and live here with your grandfather. ”

Soon after the two left, a donkey cart stopped at the door of Li's house, the girl in the car was Li Fei's best friend, and the family was Song Duofu, who was in the porcelain business, sixteen years old this year, handsome, and a little plump, not long after she entered Li's house, she pulled Li Fei out and got into the carriage. The excitement when he got into the carriage said: "I don't know what King Xiang looks like, this is the dragon son, the seventh son of the current emperor." ”

Today, King Xiang's guard of honor will enter Kunming City, and everyone rushed over to see the excitement.

For the royal family that is high up in the sky, the prince thousands of miles away, many people don't regard them as people, and many people regard them as a kind of faith, and they naturally need to be awe-inspired, looked up and worshipped. But Li Fei only smiled implicitly when he heard it, and listened carefully to Song Duofu's words: "It is said that His Royal Highness King Xiang's mother is a great beauty, so His Royal Highness King Xiang also looks like a pink carved jade, dragon and phoenix, walking at the age of half, talking at the age of one, reciting poems at the age of three, being able to compose poems at the age of five, exporting into a chapter at the age of seven, sealing the king at the age of eight, and taking the fief Xiangyang at the age of nine, governing the fief in an orderly manner, the most important thing, His Royal Highness King Xiang is eighteen years old, and he has not yet married a concubine. ”

Since the imperial court issued a clear decree in January this year to let King Xiang escort 200,000 stone grains and grass to the southwest to sacrifice the army, people in the entire Yunnan land are talking about this King Xiang, from how handsome and extraordinary he is from eating milk seven times a night when he was a child to now, anyway, it is a dragon son and a dragon grandson, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

Li Fei poured out half a glass of water from the water bag and gave it to Song Duofu and said, "You have listened to all the jokes about King Xiang." Those who tell jokes are just trying to make a living with the reward of the listeners, and a few words can be taken seriously. ”

Song Duofu grunted and drank water before remembering the teachings at home, and then learned to be a lady, pursed his lips a little bit and drank the water, and said with a smile: "What about the fake, we don't know what the real His Royal Highness Xiangwang looks like." It's the same with listening to the fake as if it were real. ”
