98.Chapter 98
In the late spring of March, the warbler flies and the grass grows, and the flowers bloom brilliantly, which should be the right time to be lively. Inside and outside Chang'an City, the cars are like flowing water, whether it is the official family or the common people, they will not miss this good opportunity to drink and feast around. However, although the funeral of the first emperor was over at this time, it was still during the state mourning. Chang'an City is unusual, and it looks particularly quiet and solemn.
Wang Zixian sat upstairs in a somewhat remote restaurant in Wing On Fang, somewhat carelessly enjoying the food that was not very delicious. His position was close to the window, and at a casual glance, he could see the pedestrians and cars coming and going on the street. Of course, nowadays everyone is dressed in plain clothes, and they don't dare to smile at will, and there is nothing worth watching. Moreover, at present, there are no restaurants and liquor stores that dare not sell alcohol, and the sound of singing and dancing is not heard at all, so it is better to stay at home than to go out.
The reason why he came to this little-known Xiaolifang was naturally not random. Just in case, he had to witness whether something happened according to his will. When it was confirmed, he planned to leave immediately and go to the Pu Wangfu to visit Li Hui - because of the funeral of the Son of Heaven, they had not seen each other for fifty days, although every time they saw each other, they were still full of longing. Now, these thoughts have even overflowed, and he has long been unable to control it, and he does not want to control it.
In the adjacent seat separated by a simple wooden screen, a young man lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Xu, Sun will never dare to laugh at this matter. If he hadn't occasionally seen the scene of their private meeting in the temple, Sun would not have been puzzled. Because Xu Gongzi and Sun are now friends, they couldn't help but investigate first, but they didn't expect to be able to find out. Although this is a scandal, don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people, and don't say indecent words - but Sun Mou selfishly doesn't want you to be kept in the dark and let them play tricks in vain. β
Another man's voice was full of gloom and irritability: "I know, you will never dare to deceive me!! Even if it's not very true, it's eight!! Oh, the slut almost never hides it, and goes to King Jing's Mansion every day, saying that she is looking for her sister to play tricks, it turns out that ...... I can't do it when I'm a fool!! His voice was barely audible, but he could still be heard faintly because of the scarcity of customers in the restaurant. And, obviously, he had gritted his teeth between the lines.
"Alas, I hope there is some misunderstanding - Xu Gongzi looked out the window, the green curtain car with a plain lantern! The coachman is the servant of the lord of Yichuan County, so Sun should not admit his mistake? β
"Slut!" That Xu Gongzi was immediately furious, and he jumped up violently and kicked over the eating table, "Go!" We follow her! I want to see with my own eyes how shameless this slut really is!! With that, he didn't care about anything else, kicked off the screen next to him with a gloomy face, glanced at the empty neighbor's seat, and went downstairs angrily.
Sun Langjun seemed to want to persuade him, but when he saw this, he could only sigh, took out the money to compensate the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and hurriedly left. It wasn't until the two of them followed the blue-curtained cart from a distance on horseback that Wang Zixian returned to his position from a farther corner. After the loud noise before, there were only their table of guests left on the second floor of the restaurant, where there were few diners, and even the guys were probing their brains at the staircase, and they didn't dare to come up to clean up the mess for a while.
Cao Shilang couldn't help but sigh: "I'm so angry, I don't know what will happen later." I can't say that I will catch the two of them and fight in the street!! His voice was full of eagerness, you know, he had long felt that the recent days had been too dull and a little tasteless.
"You want to fight for him?" Wang Zixian asked lightly.
This sentence was like ice water on a cold day, and his head was poured on Cao Shilang's head, allowing him to quickly calm down: "This matter has nothing to do with us, what are I doing to make a fuss?" But...... I just remembered...... Ah Lang, didn't the little county king say that he didn't want this matter to make a big fuss? β
"After all, he is a son of a family, Xu Tian will not be stupid enough to make this matter known to everyone." The prince said, looking from afar at the small two-entry house at the end of an alley opposite. At this time, the green curtain car had stopped, and a young woman wearing a black gauze curtain fence could be vaguely seen slowly descending, and the personal maid next to her was also wearing a hat, obviously trying to hide her identity. At the back door, someone had already arrived alone, turned over and dismounted and entered the mansion.
This restaurant really has an excellent view, and you can see clearly what you should see and what you shouldn't see. Li Qianniang and Li Ge probably never thought that there were people staring at them all the time in this dilapidated little restaurant? Of course, not only this small restaurant, their daily whereabouts have already fallen in the eyes of those who care. Today, it's just because I want to lead people to watch a good show, so there are a few more audiences.
"He was so angry that he almost immediately drew a knife to kill someone, can he really bear it after seeing those two?" Cao Shilang couldn't believe it, "Whether you marry the county lord or the princess, a manly husband, isn't it just a breath?" If he can't even breathe this breath, how can he have any face left? This kind of thing, men will never be able to endure it!! β
"The county lord is no ordinary woman." Wang Zixian said lightly, "What's more, the identity of the other party is not ordinary. If he dared to reveal the slightest hint of this matter and provoke the anger of the Son of Heaven, the Xu family would soon cease to exist. "How can a person like the new emperor who cares about his reputation allow a scandal in the clan to lose face from now on? If the Xu family dares to act rashly, they will be the first to suffer, and then it will be Li Qianniang and Li Ge's turn.
"So what should he do?" Cao Shilang couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Xu Tian. Although he is only a ministry, he has not seen the shadow of a lady yet - but in any case, it is better than Xu Khotan, who married such a lady but had unspeakable suffering. Tsk, I married this Yichuan county lord who had no strengths except for her identity for the sake of being a clan girl, and now it should be retribution. How can it be so easy to pick a lady? Didn't you see that their family Ah Lang, for the future princess of the little county king, almost checked the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Du family?
"In another way, let Li Qianniang be ruined, and let Li Ge learn a lesson." Wang Zixian said softly, if he didn't listen carefully, he could hardly hear clearly. Even if Xu Khotan is not smart enough, the Xu family will definitely have elders who are smart enough to know how to act. Moreover, with Li Qianniang's distorted temperament, she has suffered some so-called "grievances", it should be impossible to hide it in private, and the curses and insults will definitely be endless. As long as they could pry the mouths of the valets beside her, they would naturally be able to dig out more things that shocked themβand at that point, they would have no other choice.
At this time, Sun Rong was quietly approaching the mansion with Xu Tian. Only by taking a detour carefully will you not be noticed by the driver waiting in front of the house. Cao Shilang looked quite nervous: "That Xu Erlang seems to want to rush in, but I don't know if Sun Dalang can stop him...... Hey, you actually stopped? Sure enough, as Ah Lang said, Xu Erlang can really bear it...... They stopped next to the alley, and were they going to wait? β
"At least an hour or two." Wang Zixian glanced at him, "What, you want to wait all the time?" β
"I don't want to!! What's the point of staring at the house motionlessly? Cao Shilang hurriedly said. It doesn't hurt to follow him once in a while, but if he is allowed to follow him for a long time, it will be like torture to him. Therefore, the reason why he was arranged to be the personal guard of the prince was not only because he had gained enough trust. The main reason is that he is impatient and has a reckless temperament, and he has not been able to reassure him to be in charge of some things that require more caution and care.
"I once heard Sun Rong mention that there is a small restaurant in this Yong'an Fang, and the smallpox dumplings made are delicious. You go buy some and come back. β
"Ah Lang also thinks the food in this restaurant is unpalatable? Okay, I'll go! β
"Buy more, and let Xuanqi taste it when the time comes."
ββ¦β¦ I understand! β
More than an hour later, Sun Rong seemed to persuade Xu Tian to go to the back door of the house and wait quietly. Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Li Ge walking out with a smile on his face, and the spring breeze rode away proudly. The two of them hurriedly went to the front door again, and happened to meet Li Qianniang and her personal maid going out to board the car. A gust of wind blew, and the light veils of the curtains and hats floated up, faintly revealing their faces.
Xu Tian was much calmer at this time, and motioned for Sun Rong to continue to follow the Qingwei car with him to see where they planned to go later. Sun Rong glanced back at the small restaurant without a trace, revealing a little embarrassed. Then, Xu Tian Xu said a few good words, and the two left Yong'an Fang one after another.
Seeing this, the prince gestured to the tribes hidden nearby, and then left the place. When he stepped on the horse, Cao Shilang happened to come back with a food box: "Let's go, go to King Pu's Mansion." Now that YiqiΔ had gone according to plan, he didn't have to focus too much on what was going to happen next. Seizing the opportunity to get along with Li Hui and cherishing the time we can spend together is the most important thing at the moment.
In King Pu's mansion, Li Hui once again ushered in his best friend Prince Xian. Xu was not long after the funeral, his expression was still a little depressed, and his mood was also very low. Wang Zixian didn't say much, only let him taste smallpox, and silently accompanied him to practice calligraphy. Until the night was dark, Li Huifang calmed down a little, and looked at his friend's words: "It's not as sharp as before, it's a little more rounded, but the gesture seems to be a little intense......"
"It's not yet decided, but I'll teach you a joke." The prince said, "The so-called words are like their people, if the love is unstable, it will naturally be revealed in the words." You might as well look at your own words, do your gestures sink a lot? β
Li Hui carefully compared the words of the two, and said: "After writing so many big characters, my mood is indeed a lot more stable, and the words before and after have changed a lot. It seems that it is indeed very useful to stabilize the mood by learning the word. β
"If you've been in a bad mood, let's go to the temple another day? Listen to the stories of those Buddhist scriptures and take a look at the pious incense guests, and it may be better. The prince said again. During the national mourning, it is inconvenient to enjoy the scenery, and it is not suitable to participate in any drinking and feasting to relax. Only by going to the temple to stroll will you not be caught in the gap.
"Not really. I just miss my grandfather and grandmother a little. Li Hui smiled helplessly, "Although the deceased has passed away, what matters is the future." But during the state mourning, I wish I could be as pure as possible. Speaking of which, you probably don't know the situation in the palace now...... Before my grandfather died, he planned to let us all go to the fiefdom, but my uncle resolutely refused to allow it and wanted us all to stay in Chang'an. The ups and downs of the future can be imagined. β
Wang Zixian was slightly stunned, and naturally asked about many details at that time, and Li Hui knew everything and said everything.
After the two of them had talked for a long time, the night was already very dark, so Li Hui said, "Stay and stay overnight?" This time, you don't have to rush back to play against Mr. Song, right? β
Hearing this, the prince hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." β
