Chapter 65: Greeting
The main gate of the county seat of Liquan County was full of people, in addition to the county magistrate Fu Quanli and others who were leading the county officials in the county government to wait respectfully at the city gate, the people of the county also put on the most decent clothes at home and looked forward to the official road outside the city gate.

There is no other reason, seeing that it is Qingming, the emperor brought the minister of civil and military affairs to Zhaoling to worship!
For this rare event, all the people were in awe but with seven points of excitement, after all, how many times can a person see the emperor on patrol in his life?
The sun gradually rose, and as the weather warmed up, the sun, which was originally just warm, gradually brought some uncomfortable heat, and just when the people in costumes at the door were a little difficult to hold onto, the end of the official road finally saw a figure.
The majestic full guard of honor shone in the sun, and the emperor's exclusive ochre yellow was particularly conspicuous among the black-armored sergeants, exuding an awe-inspiring kingly atmosphere, Fu Quanli, who was standing at the gate of the city, trembled all over his body and knelt on the ground first.
Xiao Chengzi stood on the wheel of the dragon chariot in an orderly manner, listened to the movement in the car, and with a light call, he immediately shouted loudly to the kneeling crowd: "Flat!" ā
It wasn't until the long car drove into the city gate that there was no longer a shadow to be seen, and the people who knelt on the ground slowly helped each other to stand up.
Fu Quanli looked at the direction of the car, didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly shook his fat body, and hurried up step by step.
By the time all the people accompanying him were properly settled in the post house, it was already too late.
After a few days of driving, even Li Zhi, who was in excellent health, was a little unbearable, and he only felt that his body was stiff when he sat in the dragon chariot.
As a rule, the three-day fast and bathing before the big festival made the road a little harder.
Sandalwood had already burned in the spotless house, and as the curling green smoke rose, Li Zhi, who had been running all the way, also relaxed.
Look around the room, there is a brass basin on the shelf at the entrance, the four brass dragon heads on the side of the basin point to the southeast and northwest respectively, a ochre yellow scarf is on the shelf, a carved rosewood round table in the middle of the room is placed a set of brand-new gold-edged white porcelain teacups, a big pear wood bed can be seen faintly behind the eight ebony frame screens, the bed is covered with a complex and rich Shu brocade tent, the bedding is neatly stacked on the inside of the bed, and you can feel a kind of sunshine smell that has just been sunburned.
Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, relaxed his body and sat down in front of the bookcase opposite the screen. He was very satisfied with this arrangement, and he felt more comfortable with the simplicity of this filial piety than the luxury in the palace.
"Where is the queen's bedroom?" Li Zhi stroked his forehead and asked Xiao Chengzi, who was sorting out his belongings, as if unintentionally.
As soon as he entered the post house, he asked Queen Wang to retreat and arrange his own affairs, at this time, he was afraid that it should be almost cleaned up, although he didn't have to take care of these things, but where the key people were arranged, he still had to know in his heart.
"Back to the emperor! The queen's bedroom is on the east side of your courtyard, and on the west side is the lady lady. Xiao Chengzi thought about it and replied.
There are already regulations on the arrangement of each person's housing, and he doesn't have to worry about it much, so naturally the rest of the internal supervisors will do it, and he just needs to wait for Li Zhi.
Hearing Xiao Chengzi's words, Li Zhi didn't ask anymore. It seems that everyone's position should not change much, so it is good to facilitate the protection of the Royal Forest Army.
The door was quiet, but there were two knocks outside the door.
"Your Majesty! Guarding the tomb Zhuangzi sent someone here. "I don't know where the voice of the little chamberlain outside the door sounded like he was not yet an adult.
"Xuan!" Li Zhi put down the hand holding his forehead, waved at Xiao Chengzi, and motioned for him to go out and bring people in.
Xiao Chengzi agreed, Fang opened the door and saw Li Mo standing outside the door, and was about to make a sound, but saw that Li Mo had a rare naughtiness in the smile on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but smile his face, and turned back to Li Zhiyu and said, "Your Majesty!" People are coming! ā
As Li Zhi's gaze shifted, the person who appeared in front of him made his eyes widen in some shock, and then an unstoppable smile bloomed on his face.
"Good boy! It turned out to be you! Li Zhi stood up happily and unceremoniously punched Li Mo in the chest who stepped into the door.
"What? Unhappy to see me? Li Mo smiled and let go of Li Zhi's fist, raised his hand to catch his hand, and in a flash, he gave way to another slender figure behind him.
"Merchants are here too?" Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, but the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
Seeing Li Moken leave from the foot of Jiuzhi Mountain, he knew that the three-year filial piety period was approaching, and Li Mo's torture of himself could also come to an end, and Li Mo's stretched smile was something he hadn't seen for many years.
"Doesn't the emperor welcome me?" Shang Shang playfully stuck out her tongue, looking at Li Zhi and Li Mo still having the same brotherly friendship as three years ago, she also felt very warm in her heart.
In the royal family, such a deep blood and family relationship is undoubtedly extremely rare!
"How so? It's just that I didn't expect this silly boy to finally come out! Li Zhi let the two sit down at the round table, and Xiao Chengzi poured tea for the three of them and retreated, leaving the three of them to sit down in the house and talk.
"The three-year filial piety period is coming, I think, the old Li on Zhuangzi is old, anyway, I came to see you, and it would be the same if I came." Li Mo explained with a smile.
Sitting in front of Li Zhi at this time, he can gradually forget the unwillingness and pain of the past, and only remember the good times when he was a brother and sister to Li Zhi, as well as Li Shimin's speechless guilt towards him.
Perhaps, as the merchants said, they are just a little shallow in fate, and there is no one right or wrong!
"Whatever the reason, anyway, I'm glad you came." Li Zhi patted Li Mo's shoulder, suddenly turned his head, smiled to the side and watched the two talking, and the businessman who was drinking tea by himself smiled and said, "That's right!" I remember you once said that after the three-year filial piety period, you will marry a businessman, what are you going to do? ā
"Poof!" The merchant who was drinking tea was startled by Li Zhi's sudden words, and he squirted out a mouthful of tea.
"Hey!" Li Zhi, who was sitting opposite the businessman, jumped up in a hurry, but he still couldn't dodge and was splashed.
"What's going on?" While slapping the tea stains on his body, Li Zhi scolded the merchant with a smile. It's just a question about how to get married, can you wash his face with tea?
"Who told you to talk nonsense?" The merchant rolled his eyes angrily, but his face gradually turned red.
Although he knew that he would marry Li Mo after three years of filial piety, and the two had lived together in Jiuzhi Mountain for so long, he was still a little shy when he heard Li Zhi mention his marriage so unabashedly.
Li Mo patted the merchant's hand under the table comfortingly, but there was a tender look on his face.
He had already thought about this matter more than once, but there were some things that were inconvenient to say to Shang Shang, and he had to wait until he returned to Chang'an to discuss with Shang Shang's two brothers.
As for Li Zhi, he is not worried at all, as long as he speaks, this brother who is now the emperor will definitely support him without hesitation.
"I can't discuss this matter with her, her two brothers are in Chang'an, and then she will have to go to her brother with three books and six ceremonies."
Li Mo's seriousness blocked Li Zhi's mouth when he wanted to continue to ask.
Shang Shang's cheeks were red, and when he saw that Li Mo actually intended to continue the discussion with Li Zhi, he suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles, and then thought of another purpose of coming here, so he hurriedly said:
"You two brothers must have a lot to say when they meet, I'll go out to find Gao Yang to talk." After speaking, without waiting for the two to react, they pushed the door and fled, until they ran far away, and they could still hear bursts of laughter coming from the house.
Although he was a little annoyed and angry at Li Zhi's words, thinking that the marriage date of the two was imminent, in addition to being apprehensive, the heart of the businessman couldn't help but be sweet.
Standing on the side of the road for a long time with his head down, he finally calmed down, raised his eyes to look around, and the merchant found an attendant to lead the way, walked out of the weeping flower gate along the path, and went straight to Gaoyang's bedroom.
Liquan County is only a small county, and the regulations of the post house in the county are not grandiose, but because Zhaoling is located here, even the specifications of this post house have risen by more than one grade. Originally, it was just a small post house covering an area of less than five acres, but now it has become a large post house covering an area of more than 100 acres, in which hundreds of houses are built, which is still because of the sacrificial use, saving a lot of extravagant things.
When the merchant followed the little chamberlain, bypassed the three or four hanging flower gates, and was about to turn dizzy, he stepped into a separate courtyard, where Princess Gaoyang's bedroom was arranged.
After thanking the little chamberlain who led the way, the merchant walked along the path planted with flowers and trees on both sides to the porch, and there was no one waiting in the small courtyard, and the green flowers and trees were fragrant alone.
Raising his hand to knock on the door, he could hear the crisp "tuk-tuk" sound of the dry wooden door panel, and the corner of the merchant's mouth brought a wisp of astringency, as if he hadn't seen Gao Yang for a long time.
"Who?" A questioning voice rang out from inside the door.
"May I ask Princess Gaoyang is here?" The merchant didn't identify himself, but asked softly. The woman inside the door listened to the voice, and it was not Gao Yang.
With a "squeak" of the door, Liuli, who opened the door, looked at the beautiful woman in cloth in front of her with some suspicion, hesitated for a moment and exclaimed in surprise: "You are ...... A businesswoman? ā
It's still like Liuli has followed Gao Yang a lot, if she changes to a different girl, I'm afraid I really don't know the businessman in cloth.
Shang Shang smiled and looked at Liuli with an unbelievable face, and asked again: "Is your princess here?" ā
"Yes, yes! The princess said that she was tired from the journey, and was bathing in the clean room! Come on in! Liuli hurriedly turned to the side and let the merchant into the hall.
The small hall is not big, only a round table is arranged with the same round table as Li Zhi's side, but Li Zhi's one is carved with dragon patterns, while Gao Yang's one is a peony, compared to Li Zhi's side, there is one less bookcase, one more dressing table, and extremely simple furnishings.
I don't know what Liuli said when she went in, and the sound of "whooshing" water from the clean room at the back of the small hall had stopped at this time.
The businessmen sitting at the round table quietly sipped their tea, waiting for Gao Yang to appear.
With the sound of small footsteps, the curtain behind the small hall suddenly opened, and a tall figure covered with a wide cotton robe appeared in the eyes of the merchants.
"Merchant!" A slightly hoarse voice sounded.
Looking at the cloth-clothed woman sitting at the table in front of him, Gao Yang suddenly had the urge to cry. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
