Chapter 345: Rest and Recuperate
The two of them stood there and laughed for a long time, and then they heard a stream of footsteps coming from inside the majestic and high-end gate of the mansion.
After the sound of "squeak", the two vermilion lacquer doors finally opened slowly.
A group of samurai in bright armor, surrounded by a dignified and civilian-looking person, slowly walked out.
The leader in front was the man who had just been kicked by Xiao Yu through the shuttlecock, and there were obvious marks on the light-colored robe that Xiao Yu had just wiped.
Facing Chi Qiu's eyes, the man who looked like a civil official walked over, first looked Chi Qiu up and down for a while, and then asked politely and detachedly:
"This guest, forgive this official for being clumsy, dare to ask, who are you?"
Chi Qiu frowned, took out a handwritten oracle from his bosom, handed it to the man to check, and then said slowly:
"Recently, this king has been cultivating in the Guifeng Valley of his family teacher, and he has never been out of the valley. I didn't want to receive an edict from my father, so I hurried to Nandu. In a hurry, there was no chariot guard of honor by the king's side, and the little brother just now misunderstood, and the king actually didn't want to do this. ”
Holding the book, the civil official read it many times, and then knelt down and saluted:
"Xiaguan Wang Yuan, I have been receiving the edict from Changyi for several days. Xiaguan had already sent people to cook tea and burn incense to welcome the prince at the ten-mile long pavilion at the gate of the city, but he didn't want to, and he never received the prince. was chattering inside, and even the lower officials themselves didn't expect that the prince would only bring a small servant, and he arrived outside the yamen of this mansion in plain clothes. If the etiquette is not good, please forgive the prince! ”
After a pause, Chi Qiu said lightly:
"It is said that those who don't know are not guilty, so Lord Wang, please get up. This king is on official business, so he has no time to elaborate, Lord Wang, let's go to the palace together to discuss matters. ”
"No hurry, no hurry." Wang Yuangan laughed a few times, and said again and again: "The prince has come here all the way, if you want to come, it must be a tiring carriage and horses, no matter how you say it, you must first go to the post house that Xiaguan has arranged a long time ago to live, and then rest and recuperate." In the evening, the lower officials will prepare a banquet and give the prince a pick-up. As for the rest of the things, the prince just has to rest assured, the lower officials will prepare to stop one by one, and the prince will not bother with it. When the time comes, the prince only needs to go directly to the martial arts arena to lead the troops. ”
Glancing back at Xiao Yu, whose cheeks were flushed from drinking, Chi Qiu said slowly:
"Since Lord Wang has already arranged it, it couldn't be better. Well, this king is better to be respectful than to obey his orders, and Lord Wang will lead the way. ”
Wang Yuan raised a slightly stiff smile, and nodded again:
"Yes, yes, lord, please."
The group entered the gate of the government and passed through a cross-courtyard, and then entered a small garden with a very exquisite layout.
Compared with the garden that Xiao Yu had passed by before, the terrain of this garden was slightly more open.
A few dwarf pines planted against the mountain show a bit of natural atmosphere.
It's just that Wang Yuan, who was leading everyone forward on the path, didn't know why, but his thin back looked a little stiff and cramped.
Compared with Xiao Yu's flying jump, Chi Qiu seems to be much more old-fashioned.
Stepping on a calm step, Chi Qiu walked forward slowly, and said slowly:
"Lord Wang's courtyard is also chic. However, if there were fewer trees and more seasonal flowers and plants, wouldn't it be more pleasing to the eye and more suitable? ”
Wiping a handful of sweat beads from his forehead, Wang Yuan replied with a smile:
"Originally, I planted a lot of flowers and trees. It's just that the temperature difference between day and night in this city is very large, and the flowers and trees are here, and it is difficult to survive in the end. Over time, it became like this. The prince smiled. ”
