Dong Ping was worried about his sister, and he couldn't wait until the marriage was decided, so he urged Steward Zhang and Wen Niang to quickly pick up the things they wanted to bring to Kyoto, and they couldn't wait to leave immediately.

But without waiting for Steward Zhang to make arrangements, the old man Cao found the mountain, Dong Ping hurriedly invited the old man into the house to drink tea, but the old man didn't want to be verbose, and said, "Brother Ping, your aunt and I are also worried that Sister Rong has no one to take care of in Kyoto, so I had the heart to rush there, but when I am old, my homeland is difficult to leave." Therefore, I want the second sister to go to Beijing with you. She and Sister Rong have always been close, and with her accompanying Sister Rong, our old couple can worry less. It's just that you have to take care of it all the way. ”

Dong Ping is no longer the simple-minded peasant boy he was at the beginning, so he naturally guessed the intentions of the old couple of the Cao family, but he was happy that his sister could have an acquaintance to accompany him to relieve his boredom, so he responded happily, "Uncle Cao, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my second sister along the way, and take good care of her and send her to my sister." ”

Old man Cao praised with a smile, "Okay, your child is a safe one, the second sister entrusts you, we are most assured." ”

The two of them were talking, but Zhao Qingshan didn't want to bring a few more people up from under the mountain. Dong Ping took a closer look, and it was actually Xu Mao and a few other classmates, so he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Why did you come to the orchard, and it was not yet the day of the academy to rest?" ”

Xu Mao smiled and put the bookcase on the ground, made a heroic appearance of a child of the rivers and lakes, and said with a fist, "Boss Dong, my brother heard that you want to go to Kyoto, so he decided to follow, and from then on, the wind and frost will not change, and we will share the joys and sorrows..."

Dong Ping listened to it funny, slapped him on the back, and said angrily, "Speak well, where did you learn the habits of the rivers and lakes?" ”

A fair-skinned and thin student next to him laughed, "He shouted that he wanted to rely on you to go to Kyoto to eat, drink and have fun along the way, because he was afraid that you would not entertain him, and he was planning to talk to you first." ”

Xu Mao glared at the "traitor" classmate fiercely, and finally turned to Dong Ping with a smile and said, "Juncheng, we all want to go to Kyoto with you to see it, you won't dislike us, right?" We only need to have a bed to sleep in, and we can eat steamed buns and pickles for three meals. ”

Dong Ping really couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, pulled his arm and asked, "Don't say these strange things, I am happy that you go with me, but has Mr. ever agreed?" Otherwise, you're skipping school. ”

"Of course I agreed." Several students answered in unison when they heard this, and they were obviously very happy with Mr. 's open-mindedness, "Mr. said, let's go to Kyoto to see what the big exam looks like, and when we come back, we will study harder and harder." ”

Xu Mao straightened his stomach and made a request very unceremoniously, "Brother Juncheng, the road is far away and lonely, don't forget to bring a few jars of wine from your cellar, and the more marinated vegetables for the wine, the better." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not hungry for you." Everyone talked and laughed and entered the courtyard, and the old man Cao secretly looked at these students for a long time with a coveted face, wondering whether he could find a son-in-law for his daughter, but he sighed again when he thought about the identity of his own farmer.

Dong Ping saw that the old man was like this and thought that he missed his brother-in-law who was far away in Kyoto, so he said, "Uncle Cao, after the New Year, there are no trivial matters in Kyoto, and my sister and brother-in-law will come back with the child." ”

Old Man Cao waved his hand and went straight down the mountain, leaving Dong Ping very inexplicable, I don't know why the old man was uncomfortable.

Steward Zhang called Chu Silian, who was busy in the baking room, to serve tea and snacks to the students, and occasionally turned his head to see that his son-in-law was still standing outside the door, so he hesitated for a moment and walked to him, and whispered, "Second son, this time I will enter Beijing not only to bring the second lady of the Cao family and all the talented masters, but also Mr. Yang's family to take care of it." I couldn't rest assured, it just so happened that the orchard at home had already been harvested, and I wanted to send the account book to my wife. Why don't you let me arrange the food and lodging chores with the car? ”

Dong Ping knows best about Zhang's stewardship, of course, Huanxi has his Zhang Luo's arrangement all the way, but there is no one in the orchard, in case something happens, it won't be a disappointment to his sister's entrustment.

Steward Zhang seemed to see Dong Ping's hesitation, and hurriedly said without waiting for him to speak, "Wen Niang is a careful and steady person, and the orchard and yard can be temporarily handed over to her to manage." It's only been a month or so, and I'll be back, and nothing will happen. ”

Dong Ping thought about it and felt that this thing was feasible, so he said, "Okay, Uncle Zhang will be troubled along the way." ”

"Childe is serious, then I'll go down and make arrangements."

"Okay."

Steward Zhang's wish was fulfilled, and he was almost busy with joy under his feet. He was a shrewd and capable man, but in two days he had prepared the horses, chariots, and supplies.

This night, someone from the Yang family sent a message, and it was agreed that the south city gate would be merged in the morning of tomorrow. Dong Ping asked people to go to Cao's house again to say something, and then planned to rest early. After all, this journey will take at least half a month, and sleeping in the open will not be as comfortable as at home.

But Xu Mao was excited because he was about to enter Beijing, and dragged him to drink and celebrate together. Needless to say, when they got up on the second day, everyone had a splitting headache, and their pale faces were not much stronger than the female ghosts, and they almost plunged into the carriage and continued to fall asleep.

Dong Pingqiang endured the discomfort and followed the convoy to the outside of the city, and happened to see the gentlemen of the academy practicing for Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang originally made a good excuse, saying that he was taking his disciples to Kyoto to study, but he didn't expect that only Dong Ping was standing behind him to fill the scene, and he was still drunk. Needless to say, the rest of them are still drunk.

The old man didn't say anything at the time, smiled and said goodbye to the gentlemen, and got into the carriage. When the carriage stopped at noon to rest, he suddenly made a threat, and asked the little servant to wake up a group of drowsy disciples with cold water, and directly drove them out of the car, and had to walk forward all afternoon, so that he could sober up quickly.

Xu Mao was so tired that he cried his father and called his mother, and he almost broke his legs, and finally stayed up until he lay down at night and couldn't get up. Each swore that he would never drink again in the future, otherwise he would be caught by a good-looking gentleman, and his life would not be saved.

Not to mention how the convoy rushed to Kyoto, it is only said that Dong Rong is also very busy these days. After the death of the old princess, there were rumors in Kyoto that she had lost her family and killed her in-laws in less than three months after marrying the princess. Murong Huaide was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he thought of ways to make her happy all day long, but within a few days, another rumor came out, and the matter of Zhongshan Wangfu was revealed.

It turned out that a few days ago, a doctor who often walked around the palace was imprisoned and killed, and his family showed a few hints of grief and indignation. After a group of idlers or interested people filled their imaginations, most of the matter was exposed.

It is said that the prince actually had an affair with a certain concubine in the harem, and when the two were unscrupulous, they suddenly heard someone shouting that the emperor was coming, and the prince, whose body was hollowed out by wine, was directly frightened and fainted. As a result, it was a false report by a certain eunuch. But the prince is seriously ill, so he can't hide this from the emperor.

The emperor was furious and directly killed the concubine, he had the intention to punish the prince together, but only this one son inherited the throne, not only could not be punished, but even tried his best to cover it up for him, so the imperial doctor who was ordered to enter the palace to see him was unlucky and died.

No matter what happens, if it is shown generously, it may not attract attention. The more half-concealed it is, the more it attracts people to discover. What's more, this message brings together royalty, chaos @ incene and grievances, and it is simply a collection of all the bloody elements that became an instant hit, and naturally quickly spread throughout Kyoto, and even has the momentum of spreading to the entire Daqi.

In the restaurant teahouse, if you see someone head to head, whispering and not letting out a few ambiguous laughter, it is needless to say that you are talking about it.

Dong Rong and Murong Huaide originally heard this, except for restricting the people in the palace from discussing in private, who knew that this flame would burn on them.

On that day, the young couple were holding hands with each other and walking in the garden, but they didn't want the porter to come to report that a teacher from Taixue came to visit. Murong Huaide didn't know what to do, so he invited the guests to the study to drink tea, but in less than two quarters of an hour, he beat and scolded the man out, and finally stood in front of the mansion and threatened to demolish Taixue.

Dong Rong heard the news in the backyard and asked Yiba to invite her husband back, and after careful questioning, she learned that although this teacher came to the door under the banner of discussing articles, he talked about the prince's immorality, and then praised Murong Huaide for his civil and military skills, and his intention was simply self-evident.

Murong Huaide was trying his best to avoid the dispute over the throne, how could he tolerate him dragging himself into the water, which led to a farce of provocativeness.

Dong Rong remembered that when she went to the palace before, the stupid skills were still very effective, so she smiled and said, "Since you don't have this mind and are afraid of being suspected by the emperor, it is better to continue to 'defile yourself'." ”

"You mean to keep drinking?"

"No, since the prince's virtue is lacking, and some people have moved their minds, then you just need to make a worse appearance of virtue. For example, buy a vicious dog to bite people on the street, bully men and women, buy and sell strongly, it's best to find a person with a high reputation to hit the door directly, and everyone will succeed if they see you and take a detour. ”

The more Dong Rong spoke, the more funny she felt, and at the end she said, "It is said that husbands and wives follow, why don't I also go out to show the majesty of the princess and find a shop for our family to smash two?" ”

Murong Huaide laughed and said, "If you want to smash others, how can you harm your own business?" ”

Dong Rong glared at him and said angrily, "It's just acting, how can it really harm outsiders?" I lost some, but I was able to sleep at night and feel at ease. ”

Murong Huaide loved his very kind and intelligent wife, hugged her and kissed her. At this point, the young couple made up their minds and started the role play of the gentleman and the shrew, which once again enriched the topic of the people of Kyoto after tea and dinner.

Legend in the teahouse today that the King of Zhongshan rushed to Taixue to make trouble when he was drunk, and not only beat the student but also pointed at the dean's nose and scolded. Within two days, there was a legend that Princess Zhongshan smashed a cloth village, just because the boss did not personally take care of it, and there was a suspicion of neglect. R638
