Chapter Ninety-Six: Conflict
In this not too long period of tormenting days, on the surface and secretly, I don't know how many things happened that people knew or didn't know, but the excitement in Chang'an City was still the same. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This huge square city has not been shaken by the indescribable dispute in the court, nor has it changed because of the increasing frequency of the nobles.
The vendors on the long street are still hoarsely selling their groceries, and the slightly decent shopkeepers in the shops are still smiling and greeting the customers who step through the door, everything seems to be so orderly and peaceful.
The news heard on that pale moonlit night seemed to be just a distant dream in such a prosperous and prosperous world.
Li Mo sat in the carriage out of the palace and drove slowly through the wide streets of Chang'an City, opening the curtains and looking out of the window, with a faint flash of worry in his eyes.
Tomorrow is the best time for him and the businessman, but the increasingly imminent sense of crisis has made him fall into a deep dilemma.
Due to the lack of manpower, Li Yan had to reduce the manpower left in Gaoyang Mansion after thinking about it, and instead sent them to various vassal kings, although there were not many vassal kings at this time, Li Yan still had to rack his brains to try to balance, so as not to have a situation where a certain vassal king was empty in front of him.
Under such an arrangement, the news that was finally gathered is not optimistic.
The dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the eldest grandson is still going on, and it is even intensifying, which makes the vassal kings who are still in Chang'an can't help but snicker secretly, and they are happy to wander around the city every day, watching the emperor and the Ministry of Rites fight in the ring.
And the singing and drinking banquets in King Wu's mansion finally made these young officers full of enthusiasm feel bored. Gradually, hunting out of the city became a popular trend in this newly formed circle.
Every time I watched those colleagues gallop out of the city, when they returned to the city, they would inevitably bring with them all kinds of beasts and birds, big or small, and those soldiers who were originally alienated from King Wu because of the rule that foreign officials were not allowed to make friends with princes gradually became a little unbearable.
No one knows whether there were any people who were once guests of Gaoyangzuo in that increasingly fierce court dispute, and no one knows where Li Ke took those soldiers out of the city to hunt every day.
The news obtained by these people when they were short of manpower always carried a little doubt about whether it was true or false, which made Li Mo's judgment extremely difficult, and Li Zhi, who was busy dealing with court disputes, could not give him any help at this time.
The carriage with a dark red enclosure carrying the worried Li Mo slowly drove past the door of the kitchen road, seeing that it was not early, Li Mo stomped his feet in the carriage with some difficulty.
I haven't seen the merchant for a few days, and it has ceased business, and the tulle curtain in front of the kitchen door where the guys are tying up the colorful shed is gently surging in the wind, like a gentle hand silently calling him to go and pay for his lovesickness.
The tremor in the carriage was transmitted along the wheels to the feet of the coachman, and after a moment's startle, he tightened his grip on the reins, and brought the not very conspicuous carriage to a halt in the crowded street.
Li Mo sat in the carriage and did not move, but just lifted the curtain and looked into the door of the kitchen through the bustling crowd, as if he hoped to see the person who always made him miss in this way.
Tomorrow is the best time, and we can't see each other today under any circumstances. Whether it is red tape or etiquette, Li Mo cannot ignore this custom that is accepted and observed by many people.
Just as Li Mo sighed and was about to lower the curtain and leave this place that attracted his attention, a familiar figure in white came into his eyes, making his breathing suddenly flutter.
After the countless banquets in King Wu's mansion, Yuwen, who was dressed in white, finally couldn't hold back the obsession that had been entangled in his heart.
The thought that in just a few days, the woman who haunted him would marry someone else's wife, he felt only a heart-digging pain in his heart, and it was in this pain that he made a bold decision.
He wants to meet the merchants! Even if it's just a glance from afar! Maybe as long as he knows that she is happy, he can let it go!
As the white-clothed figure flashed at the door of the kitchen road, Li Mo, who was sitting in the carriage, could no longer hold back the wisp of thought in his heart.
Gently confessed to the coachman and asked him to wait in place, Li Mo lifted the curtain of the car and rushed out of the car, through the crowd and straight to the kitchen road across the street.
Compared with the bustle and noise of the front yard with colorful sheds and lanterns, the backyard where the merchants were located at this time was very quiet.
The green sleeves of the confinement were holding a wedding dress with gold and silver thread from an extremely gorgeously packaged wooden box at this time, and the color as red as fire almost dazzled everyone's eyes, and even Xiao Bao'er, who was thrown into the arms of the nurse and was a little unhappy at this time, forgot to cry.
"It's beautiful!" Green Sleeves stroked the smooth brocade in his hand a little stupidly, and murmured unconsciously.
Shang Shang looked at the wedding dress with large sleeves and slanted placket in front of him a little stunned. On the pure and bright red background, the golden peonies with large and small petals are blooming on the soft clothes like water as if they have been put into life, and the intensity seems to be about to burn, making people forget to breathe the moment they see it.
"Merchant! Fast! Put it on and take a look! ”
Almost immediately, Green Sleeves shouted, she wanted to see the merchant in this wedding dress for the first time!
Chu Yao, who was stunned on the side, was also awakened by the cry of the green sleeves, and while exclaiming, she also urged the merchants with the green sleeves, such a beautiful wedding dress is simply the dream of all women!
The merchant reluctantly turned behind the screen in the urging of Green Sleeves and Chu Yao, although she also liked this dress, but the fanaticism of Green Sleeves and Chu Yao really scared her.
When he took off his shirt behind the screen and put this finely made wedding dress on his body, the delicate touch that slid through his fingertips made the merchant suddenly feel a faint happiness.
Maybe...... There is no happiest time in a woman's life than this, right?
easily solved the green sleeves and Chu Yao who were waiting outside the screen, moved the sleeping few people to the side, and put the little Bao'er in the hands of the nurse on the bed at will.
Yuwen, who was not mentally prepared, turned around and saw the merchant who turned out of the screen.
The extravagant wedding dress was attached to her slender body, which perfectly set off her slender figure, and the beautiful face that had appeared countless times in his dreams was as bright as a flame, easily burning his eyes and stopping his breathing.
The merchant, who was still staring down, did not notice anything unusual in the room, and was still arranging the clothes on her body with her hands, but the next moment, a look like a substance made her raise her head alertly.
"Yuwen?"
A cry of surprise came out of Shang Shang's mouth, like a spell to break the dream, waking up Yuwen who had fallen into a dream.
"Merchant! Don't come unharmed. With a hint of irrepressible pain, Yuwen's hoarse voice trembled lightly and spat out a difficult greeting.
Surprised to find that Yuwen was the only one left in the room at this time, the merchant's eyes immediately wandered around worriedly, and when she saw Xiao Bao'er kicking her legs with her eyes wide open and a little impatient on the bed, and looked at the three green-sleeved people lying on the table, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm not going to hurt them." Although the eyes of Shang Shang looking around hurt Yuwen a little, he still subconsciously explained.
"I know!" The merchant smiled apologetically, standing a little helpless.
Although he passed by him in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Shang Shang really didn't expect that after she hurt him like that, he would still come to see him at this time.
Measuring the distance between himself and the merchant step by step in his heart, Yuwen's deep eyes did not leave the woman in front of him who had been thinking about it for many years, watching her bloom like a flower for other men, Yuwen couldn't tell how he felt in his heart.
"Sit down!" Sensing the embarrassment between the two, Shang Shang hurriedly invited.
Since the people have already come, there is no need for her to drive them out. Since she owed him at the beginning, then he was her creditor, and he was only afraid that there was no reason to chase out the creditor who owed the debt?
Facing the invitation of the merchants, Yuwen didn't seem to hear it, and his figure standing in place didn't move a bit. After a long time, it was as if he had suddenly woken up, and the corners of his mouth were bitter.
"You...... Happiness? ”
This soft murmur seemed to carry a wordless expectation, and it seemed to contain a thick sourness, and no one could understand the taste except Yuwen himself.
Or maybe...... Even he himself couldn't tell the difference between the three flavors.
Shang Shang looked at Yuwen in a daze, his cherry-red mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he just smiled faintly, and at the end, he replied in a gentle voice: "I am very happy!" ”
The string in his heart that was tense because of the longing suddenly broke at this moment, and Yuwen, who seemed to be calm, suddenly let out a light sigh that seemed to sigh and relief.
"Merchant!"
With a familiar call, the bedroom door "Bang!" Li Mo, who was wearing a dark red robe, burst in like the wind, and the cry in his mouth was eager and anxious.
Almost at the first glance of entering the door, Li Mo saw Yuwen dressed in white with his back to the door, and the internal force condensed in his palm poured out like a mountain at this moment, and rushed straight towards the man who stood quietly and didn't seem to react.
"Li Mo! No! ”
Shang Shang looked at Li Mo, who rushed in front of Yuwen in horror, looking like he was dying, and couldn't help but cry out in a hurry.
Yuwen, who was dressed in white, turned around quickly, fluttering along Li Mo's palm, but his eyes looked fixedly at Li Mo, who was rushing towards him with a murderous aura, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face with unknown meaning.
