6. Chapter 6
"I heard that Wan Niang was injured, so let's take a look." The fourth prince looked at Jiao Wanwan and said, being looked at by this fairy-like beautiful man, even if Jiao Wanwan boasted that she was well-informed, she didn't dare to meet that sight, for fear of being sucked out of her soul, and she said something that shouldn't be said in a daze.
However, he was injured yesterday, and the fourth prince will know the news today? Can you still come to this Baopu Taoist Temple to find someone?
It was about that this question was too obvious, and the fourth prince smiled again: "I met General Jiao in the early dynasty and listened to what General Jiao said. β
Jiao Boyan also suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the concern of the fourth prince, it's not a big deal, I have already asked the doctor to see it, and it won't leave a scar." β
The fourth prince shook his head: "I'm not worried about scars, but I'm just a little ......." Glancing at Jiao Wanwan, there was obviously a little worry in her voice: "Worried." β
Jiao Boyan and Jiao Zhongzhan stopped talking, and the brothers stared at Jiao Wanwan together. Jiao Wanwan's face turned red, even if there was no sign of emotion now, she was stared at intently by such a man, saying words of concern that seemed to be love, and everyone blushed.
"You're here to make a wish?" Seeing that the three brothers and sisters stopped talking, the fourth prince diverted the topic and looked at Jiao Wanwan with a smile: "Can you go elsewhere?" There is a thousand-year-old tree in the Taoist temple, do you want to see it? β
Jiao Boyan patted his head: "Oh, I remembered, I don't know where to put my purse, I'm still thinking about making a wish later, it contains the Jin Kui Star that was just cast this year, I have to go back and find it now, Zhong Zhan, you can see my purse?" β
Jiao Zhongzhan looked confused: "Where is your purse, how can I know ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiao Boyan pulled someone and turned back: "You accompany me to look for it, maybe you played with it before, and I don't know where to put it, if you find it, go back and make a wish that I will share half of you." β
After waiting a little far, Jiao Zhongzhan lowered his voice and smiled: "Big brother, what you are looking for with this excuse is really casual enough, aren't these things like purses all carried by your own little servants?" Who would have such a heavy thing falling on their waists? β
"Now that you can see it, what are you still doing slowly?" Jiao Boyan asked with a smile, Jiao Zhongzhan pursed his lips: "When I think that my eldest sister will marry him in the future, it will be much more difficult to meet in the future, and I am not happy in my heart." Besides, what does a big man do when he looks so good? β
Jiao Boyan couldn't help laughing: "Are you jealous that he is better looking than you?" β
"Not really! A manly man, if you want to compare and compete, it's just a skin, who cares? Jiao Zhongzhan hurriedly said, and the sneaky cat hid behind the pillar, secretly looking at Jiao Wanwan's side.
The fourth prince glanced at the pillar on this side and turned sideways: "Have you ever been to the side hall to worship?" β
"Not yet." Jiao Wanwan shook her head, a little embarrassed, first, he is such a beautiful man, even if he is a star now, he can't compare, not to mention his appearance, just to talk about his temperament, these four princes are all Jiao Wanwan has ever seen, the most exciting. At present, she is always worried that she will say the wrong thing, so she is a little afraid to speak. Second, she is not a real Song person, she doesn't know what topics are popular in this dynasty, and she is afraid that she will commit a taboo.
The fourth prince is not the Jiao family who loves his daughter, even if Jiao Wanwan has some flaws, subconsciously, the Jiao family will spontaneously and automatically make excuses to fool the past. If he said the wrong thing in front of the four princes, it would really be a dead end.
Thinking about it, Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but feel weak in her heart. Originally, I thought that the four princes were here to survive, but when I think about it again, in fact, this dangerous Cheng dΓΉ is almost the same as in the Jiao family. On the surface, it seems that she responded to this family business for a way out, but in fact, from beginning to end, there was no room for her to put gigs on this matter.
The decree of marriage came so suddenly that she did not have the courage to resist it. She comforted herself that she was in this family business for the beauty of the four princes, but the real situation was that this beauty was just a little accident in this family business, a little luck. Even if the fourth prince has a pockmarked face, she still has to marry.
"Why don't you go to the side hall to worship first, and then go to see the ancient tree?" The fourth prince asked with a smile, and without waiting for Jiao Wanwan to speak, he turned around and walked forward slowly, that step, not big or small, every step was like a measurement, and the snow-white boots were like stepping on a lotus, shining step by step. The body proportions are absolutely perfect, with long legs, bee waist and ape back, and from the side, there is not even a single fluff on the face.
Jiao Wanwan shook her head, the five-cent special effect given by the sun, hurry up and wake up.
"This is the Wenchang Palace...... paused, and said: "I'm afraid I'm talking too much, this hug Pu Taoist Temple, you should have been here before, women and children in Beijing, either to the Taoist temple in the north, or to the temple in the south, your home, but the Sanqing of the letter?" β
Jiao Wanwan smiled and didn't answer, but asked something else: "Does the fourth prince like to bow?" I heard my eldest brother say that after a while, there will be a Keju competition in the capital, and the four princes want to participate? β
The official Zhao Kuangyin himself is a person who likes to bow, and since he ascended the throne, he often let the sons and daughters of Xun Gui enter the palace to compete in their spare time. Slowly, it has become a habit, and at this time of year, the capital is particularly lively.
The fourth prince smiled mildly as usual: "I can't say whether I like it or not, what, do you want to go and see it?" Your eldest brother is going to play Keju competition? β
"Just asking." I didn't know what to say, and the fourth prince didn't speak, so Jiao Wanwan had to walk out slowly behind him. said that he went to the side hall to worship, but after passing through the side hall, the four princes just stood outside for a while and talked about what star monarch was enshrined inside. After passing through two gates, and then through a small gate, we came to a small courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard was a towering ancient tree, with a trunk so thick that it was estimated that three or four people could not hold it.
"This is the ancient tree in Guanli, which is said to have been planted in the early Tang Dynasty, more than 300 years ago." The fourth prince put his hands behind his back, looked up at the big tree, his expression was peaceful, and his tone and voice were the same as before, gentle and polite: "Many people say that this tree has a soul, and they make a special wish, do you want to try it?" β
Jiao Wanwan hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "I don't have anything to promise." β
The fourth prince turned his head to look at her, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his expression became a little more vivid: "If you don't make a wish, you will marry a lover in the future?" β
Jiao Wanwan was a little confused, she didn't quite understand what the fourth prince meant, and when she was hesitating, she heard the fourth prince say again: "If you marry me, you will have to stay away from the capital in the future, and you will never see the prosperity of this Shengjing again, this liveliness has nothing to do with you, are you willing?" β
"When has this excitement been related to me?" Jiao Wanwan blinked, isn't the Keju competition always attended by men? Oh, by the way, there are also women's kemari and women's polo, but it seems that the original body has only learned to ride a horse for a long time? I guess I haven't been involved in any of these activities, right?
She was still thinking about it here, but the fourth prince over there was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Indeed, these have nothing to do with you, then, are you willing to go to Guizhou with me?" Not only far away from the capital, but also away from parents, in my lifetime, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to see each other again. β
"That's nature, marry...... cough ...... "It seems that sentence is too vulgar, for the four princes, I don't think I want to learn to be elegant, but unfortunately my little literary literacy is a little insufficient, and the handsome face of the fourth prince is a little indescribable, vague a few words, and smiled: "Guizhou is like spring all year round, the climate is pleasant, if you can live for a long time, it is also good." As for being away from my parents, there must be reluctance, but it is not that I will not see each other in my lifetime, and I will always get together for three years and five years, or I will come, or they will go. If you don't even have this time, then the correspondence can be passed. β
After speaking, he felt a little inappropriate, as if he particularly wanted to marry him, and even planned for the future, so he said again: "Naturally, if I can not leave Beijing, I am also willing to stay in the capital." β
Now it's okay, and it's even more like it's going to be covered, but it's like complaining and making demands.
The fourth prince only smiled and did not answer. Jiao Wanwan was afraid that the more she talked, the worse it would become, so she simply didn't speak. Two people stood under the big tree, one looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and the other pinched his palms and looked down at his feet, Jiao Wanwan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Do you like paper kites?" After a long time, when Jiao Wanwan felt that her feet were about to stand numb, the fourth prince suddenly asked, Jiao Wanwan shook her head: "I don't like it very much, I can only rely on the wind to go to the sky, once there is no wind, no matter how high I fly, I have to plant it, it's too passive." β
"Passive?" The fourth prince chewed these two words and looked at Jiao Wanwan: "This statement is quite interesting." I originally wanted to say, if you like paper kites, in two days, I'll take you out for a walk, since you don't like it, then forget it. β
The corners of Jiao Wanwan's mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to respond, so she had to smile.
"I'll ask someone to send you some Shu brocade when I go back, what color do you like?" The fourth prince asked again, and finally there was a question that was easier to answer, Jiao Wan hurriedly said: "No matter what color ...... the suit" No, this brocade or something before marriage, is there such a custom? Before, my father and mother seemed to say that if you didn't like each other when you saw each other, you would send two brocades, what kind of road is this?
It's really terrible not to be familiar with the customs of this era, Jiao Wanwan is about to go crazy, she has already sent a hairpin before, that's sure to be in love, right? Then giving brocade now is just an ordinary gift, right?
"I don't mean anything else, it's just that I just got a reward from the palace, and it's more suitable for women, so I gave it away." Jiao Wanwan was entangled, and the fourth prince suddenly smiled, and explained two sentences in a good mood: "Except for you, there is no one else to send." β
