Chapter 44: Visiting Friends

Qingzhou Mansion is not as far from the capital as Hangzhou or the Great Northwest, and it takes about a few days to get there by fast horse, and it only takes ten days to travel by ordinary carriage.

But for Doudou and his party who were rushing to the capital at this time, the road to the capital seemed so far away.

There is no shortage of nobles, old people, women, and children in the team, and it is impossible to speed up, and it is impossible to travel for a long time without resting.

The time really used to travel every day is no more than four hours, and there are people who are hungry and tired, and there are people clamoring to rest as soon as the sun turns west.

Twenty days later, the group arrived at a small county town under the jurisdiction of Baoding Prefecture.

At this time, it was early winter, the weather was getting colder day by day, and the young and strong people didn't feel much, and the old lady and the princess of Jiaodong began to feel a little unwell.

Yuan Zheng couldn't bear to see his mother's uncomfortable appearance, and after discussing with the two princes and the king of Jiaodong, he decided to rest in place for a few days, so that everyone could have a good rest.

The old lady was actually tired, so she slept well in the inn, and Doudou made a few medicinal meals to condition her body, and she gradually eased up.

The situation on Princess Jiaodong's side is a little bad, her body is already a little weak, she has been pampered in the palace for decades, almost never travels far, tired and excited by the cold wind.

Fortunately, there was a doctor from the Jiaodong Palace, and the pulse was actually a big symptom, and everything was ready-made, and it needed to be conditioned for at least five or six days, so they could only stay in the small county town.

The second prince and Fu Shaoyun are both people who study hard, whether they are in the mansion or in the inn, they do not slack off in the homework that should be completed every day.

And both of them love to play chess, and it is not difficult to pass the free time.

The fourth prince was completely unable to sleep at all, and at first he could stay in the room and sleep in a regular manner, but after two days, he could no longer sleep.

Quietly thinking about it, he came to Doudou to chat in the name of visiting the old lady.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door of the old lady's room, he met Yuan Zheng's father and daughter who were about to go out.

Although he was cleaned up by Yuan Zheng along the way, his face was still very thick, and he said with a smile: "Lord Yuan is going to take Yuan Er out to play, and I will go with me." He didn't need anyone to respond, and consciously rubbed to the side of the father and daughter.

Yuan Zhengdao frowned: "This official is going to take Yuan'er to visit a friend, the place where he lives is very remote, and he still needs to walk for a long time after riding out of the city, is the Fourth Highness sure that he can do it?"

After that, he looked the four princes up and down a few times, can this guy endure hardship? He gave up halfway, but he has a criminal record, don't take a few steps and get into trouble with your stomach or something, it's not ashamed.

The meaning of Yuan Zheng can still be seen by the four princes, isn't it that when he went to Dengzhou Mansion to make a fuss about his stomach and retreated, is that not his own work?

He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yuan, I will not hold back today, otherwise you will be at your disposal." ”

Doudou glanced at the fifteenth year of junior high behind him: "Yuwen Xiaowu, Daddy's friend likes to be quiet, if you want to go, you can't bring someone, can you do it?"

"No problem. The fourth prince waved his hand at the two servants: "You two stay in the inn, don't run around and make trouble for the master." ”

On the first fifteenth day of the first month, they looked bitter, the two of them are the most honest little guys, and they don't know who is in trouble every time!

But if you let the master go alone, it will never work, and the lady will not pick the skin of the two of them if she knows it.

The two of them looked at the four princes bably, not wanting to move a step.

What's going on with these two! The four princes are about to blow up.

The three teenagers just stared at Yuan Zheng's father and daughter with big eyes.

Isn't this a waste of effort?

Yuan Zheng waved his hand helplessly and said: "Keep up, keep up, it's almost fatal, just don't follow the two of you and the guards when you get to the place." ”

The group galloped on horseback, and after half an hour, they came to Xiaonanshan on the outskirts of the county.

The guards and the fifteenth day of the first month stayed at the foot of the mountain, and Yuan Zheng took Doudou and the four princes along the winding path towards the mountain.

The scenery of Xiaonan Mountain was originally very beautiful, but in early winter, there were dead branches and leaves everywhere, and there was nothing to see, and the four princes began to be a little impatient not long after they left.

The more impatient I became, the heavier my feet became, and I really didn't know when this winding mountain path would come to an end!

He gradually distanced himself from the father and daughter of the Yuan family.

Looking at the vigorous Yuan Lord in front of him, and the light Yuan Er, the fourth prince is about to vomit blood, okay!

Yuan Er was just that, he knew that her delicate and frail appearance was pretending.

What about a good civilian official who has no power to restrain the chicken?

Both father and daughter are better than their own "strong" teenagers, and they make it unpleasant to play!

"Hey, Yuwen Xiao, can you do it, can't you turn back by yourself. Doudou felt that his ears were suddenly quiet, and then he found that the fourth prince had fallen behind, and turned to shout a few words at him.

The fourth prince jumped three feet high, Yuan Er, can you speak? The most intolerable thing for men is to be suspected by others, especially women, of whether they can do it, although Yuan Er is not a woman, and he does not bury people like this!

He gritted his teeth and trotted after him, panting and said, "Who can't do it?

Where did Yuan Zheng want to play tricks with him, he pointed to the distance ahead and said, "Turn this corner and you'll be there." ”

Doudou and the four princes were in good spirits when they heard that they were about to arrive, and they took a few steps forward.

Turning the corner in front of them, the two of them suddenly opened up, only to see a small temple not far away, perhaps because no one has repaired it for a long time, it looks a little deserted and dilapidated.

However, it is precisely for this reason that although it is not like ordinary temples, the smoke and bells and drums are endless, so that people can easily escape the hustle and bustle of the red dust, and their hearts will naturally calm down.

Even the four princes, who had always been noisy, came here, and they consciously restrained themselves, and said very seriously: "Lord Yuan, your friend is actually a monk?"

Doudou almost laughed, can Yuwen Xiaowu still talk well? The monk is a monk, and he is a monk, and he is not too panicked to bite the text and chew the words.

Yuan Zheng also thought it was funny, but he just curled his lips slightly: "This is Wenshu Monastery, which used to be a great place where incense was very prosperous, and now the abbot is Master Xuanzhen, he has a strange and cold temperament, I can barely have some friendship with him." ”

With that, he straightened his clothes and walked ahead first.

As soon as he heard the strange and cold four words, the fourth prince was not good, and looked at Doudou with pitiful little eyes: "Yuan Er, if I'm still waiting for you outside, I won't go in." ”

Doudou grabbed his sleeve: "You are a little bit promising, okay, let's go!" said and dragged him towards the Wenshu Monastery. (To be continued.) )
