Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn October, the eldest prince got married, and the people of the entire Chu State were happy, and the capital was even more joyful for a winter, and it did not fade until the beginning of spring of the next year.
Steward Zhao finally fell out with Zhang Zizhong, went to the government to accuse Zhang Zizhong of fraud and false accusations, and testified against Zhang Zizhong for framing Jiyuan Warehouse. When he heard about the Jiyuan Warehouse, he thought about Mrs. Cheng and Governor Ding, gritted his teeth and sentenced Zhang Zizhong to apologize and compensate the Jiyuan Warehouse for 500 pieces of silver.
The reputation of Jiyuan Warehouse has been restored, and business is more prosperous than before.
Reluctantly, the business has entered the formal, Chu Shuhuang really lives a pampered life, in addition to enjoying life, that is, learning and practicing martial arts, the fly in the ointment is that it is too boring.
It is another year of begging festival, the bustling street market of the capital of Chu is lined with shops, the flow of people is like weaving, the carriages and horses shuttle, the streets are lined with a dazzling array of gadgets, and the penetrating shouts of the small traders come and go, so lively.
A luxurious and exquisite carriage slowly drove out of the flow of people, followed by more than two dozen guards, and the group kicked and trampled out of the city.
There was also a brand-new oily carriage parked on the side of the road outside the city gate, surrounded by a few subordinates, but it was much inferior to the one just now. The luxurious and delicate carriage came out of the city gate and gradually approached, and the curtain of the carriage on the side of the road lifted a crack, and a crisp female voice shouted: "Alin? ā
The curtain of the carriage was also lifted, "It's me, come here." ā
"Okay."
A young and delicate boy got out of the carriage, turned around and helped a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy out of the carriage. A small guy jumped out of the carriage here, waited for the boy to get into the carriage, and then turned around and got into the other party's carriage.
"You're out a long time ago?" The son in the car poured a cup of tea for the other party and asked.
"No, I've only been here for a while." The carriage continued to move forward, and the two chattered.
That's right, these two sons are Chu Shuhuang and Jiang Li. Time has passed, and three years have passed unconsciously, and Chu Shuhuang is already ten years old.
"There are so many people today, we haven't been here for two years, why is there such a big change?"
"Yes, there are more and more people, it is estimated that everyone usually has nothing to do, and it is rare to have such a place. Did you make river lanterns this year, and what did you do? ā
Chu Shuhuang shook his head and said, "I didn't do it, what about you?" ā
"I only made a few orchids, and when we get to the Yan River, let's see what is good, and then buy some."
"Well, I haven't been here for two years, and it's a lot more lively, I wonder if there will be anything fun?"
Now that Jiang Li is living a life of fine clothes and jade food, he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood, and he doesn't see Chu Shuhuang, his original temperament is revealed, and he said quietly: "Maybe there will be some fun, but it's still those things, nothing new." ā
Chu Shuhuang turned around and said, "What are you busy with these days?" Let's go to Ulsan Grange in two days, it's cool and quiet. I have people plant a lot of flowers, you go and see it, you are amazing! ā
"I'm not busy, that's all the back and forth, let's go if you want to." Jiang Li said with a smile. She is now just learning some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting courses, and it will be okay to throw them for a while.
The pedestrians and carriages on the road are continuous, and when they are about to reach the Yan River, there are more vendors on both sides of the road, not only selling river lanterns, but also some gadgets. The carriage was jammed for a long time, and the two got out of the carriage and walked forward hand in hand.
Chu Shuhuang was originally taller than children of the same age, and with that composure, he was like twelve or thirteen years old. Today, he is wearing a purple brocade gown, covered with a light purple transparent gauze robe, wearing a purple gold peony and jade belt around his waist, wearing a purple and jade jade pendant, a splendid plum blossom pendant and a purse, and his hair is tied behind his head with a purple and gold head rope.
Although his identity was not revealed, the style of this noble son-in-law also made the surrounding people give up an open space in an uproar.
Jiang Li was dressed in a jade-colored silver silk light silk shirt, covered with a dark gauze of the same color, and a jade-colored flower-inlaid jade belt at the waist. A jade belt tied his hair behind his head, like a handsome son, smiling and following Chu Shuhuang forward.
When they walked to the bank of the Yan River, the few people who followed behind were already holding full of things. Chu Shuhuang glanced at it, and reluctantly arranged for someone to take care of these things by the river, and she and Jiang Li played around.
Nowadays, the Yanhe River has been as lively as those temple fairs, with jugglers, lantern riddles, and candy sellers. The two shuttled among them, and also met an acquaintance - Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was dressed in a peach-colored gold and silver butterfly love peony skirt, wearing a plum red gold silk hollow bead flower on her head, and walked with a group of little sisters silently. Suddenly, both parties were stunned, Wei Yan relieved herself and curtled her knees and said, "Minister-"
Chu Shuhuang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Miss Wei, it is really a blessing to meet Miss Wei by chance." ā
Jiang Li also bowed to the side, and Wei Yan said slightly: "The two sons are really good Yaxing, so free and easy, it is enviable." ā
Chu Shuhuang laughed and said, "Miss Wei is also in good spirits, each other, each other!" ā
The little sister next to her also saw that these two were women dressed as men, and looked at Chu Shuhuang and the others with doubts, but Wei Yan didn't mean to introduce, "It's all good, it's all good!" ā
After taking a few steps, Chu Shuhuang looked back again, and Jiang Li asked, "What's wrong?" ā
Wei Yan and the others had gradually moved away, but Chu Shuhuang felt that Wei Yan's back was a little heavy. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's weird." "I always feel that today's Wei Yan is different, it seems that she is not in a good mood, although she is not close, but the feeling of alienation when you met in the past seems to be gone. I heard that she was sick a while ago, maybe it was just right, but her body was still weak.
This is not the place to speak, Chu Shuhuang didn't want to say more, and Jiang Li didn't ask anymore.
At this time, it was already nightfall, and the two returned to the river, lit a river lamp, and put it in the river to float away. A small number of people had already returned, and after putting off the river lanterns, the two also walked out.
Walking and walking, suddenly Jiang Li's maid stepped forward and gently tugged Jiang Li and said softly: "Miss, it's my cousin." ā
I saw a young man in white brocade standing not far away, with a long posture, tall and outstanding, and under the background of this night, he looked even more handsome and dusty. Chu Shuhuang and Jiang Li glanced at each other and walked forward, and when Xu Shixuan saw the two of them, they also hurriedly walked over.
"I've seen Childe." Xu Shixuan bowed to Chu Shuhuang.
"The second son is polite." Chu Shuhuang returned the salute.
