Chapter 83. Went to Yangzhou
It has been two months since the decision was made to go to Gangnam. www.biquge.info In the past two months, King Jin has been busy making preparations. From arranging the construction and decoration of the palace in Jiangnan, to the clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the determination of the maids and guards brought over, it took a lot of effort.
At this time, Princess Jin was almost recuperating. There are a lot of things that can help you prepare.
At this time, it is autumn, and it is the time of autumn in the north. Princess Jin walked out of the bedroom and felt the sunshine that had not been seen for a long time. I remembered the warm climate in the south and went to live in Jiangnan!
In the past few years, I have been in Chang'an and Bingzhou in the north, and I have long been accustomed to the dryness of the north and the heartiness of the north. When I first came to Chang'an, I always felt that my skin and nostrils were going to dry and crack, but then I gradually got used to it, and found that the northern climate was dry, so there were few bacteria. People will not drink all kinds of dampness because of heavy dampness. So I gradually fell in love with the northern climate.
Man is a strange animal, and at that time he thought that he would never be able to go back to the south, so he only thought about the good in the north and the bad in the south. Gradually, I really only like the north and no longer miss the south. And now suddenly there is an opportunity to live in the South, and those benefits that only the South has come to mind one by one.
The warm climate, large fields of rape flowers, and white mist on the surface of the lake. The water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which felt like a fairyland, suddenly appeared in my mind.
At this time, Man'er was also thinking about the same picture as Princess Jin. Happy tidying up the laundry. Her son, who was already able to walk, walked around beside her. Hearing my mother humming Jiangnan tunes and dancing, I seemed to be able to feel my mother's rare good mood.
The prince's palace was shrouded in joy, and the king of Jin was also infected by this joy. Humming a little tune, tidying up some of his little treasures.
"Aifei, Jiangnan is your hometown. I've often heard you talk about it now, how do you feel about going back now? ”
"As long as you are with King Jin, you will be happy everywhere. I don't know what has become of my hometown that has been away from my hometown for many years, but I remember that when I left, it was still the fragrance of birds and flowers. Princess Jin said, and the last appearance of the Jiangnan water town she saw at that time came to her mind.
"The king has always wanted to know what the place where the concubine lived was like. The last time I went to Jiangnan, I didn't have any intention of sightseeing because I went everywhere I went. This time, the concubine must take me to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. ”
"Well, that's a must. There are also a lot of delicious foods in Jiangnan that I want King Jin to taste. Princess Jin's eyes lit up when she talked about eating. This is too much in contrast to her always dignified and noble goddess image, and every time it hits King Jin hard.
“…… Aha, the food is good, when the time comes, give me all the food that the concubine likes to eat. "King Jin really wants to taste what kind of Jiangnan cuisine can raise such foodies.
Soon everything was ready and the personnel were settled. Everyone is ready to march to Jiangnan.
The emperor and queen all came to see him off. The royal family stood in a long line.
Ah Wu also came to see her off, seeing that her favorite second brother and sister-in-law were about to go away, she was in tears but still couldn't say anything.
"Ah Wu, the second brother and sister-in-law will come back." King Jin touched Ah Wu's head, so relieved to see that she had recovered a lot before he left. Now Ah Wu is no different from a normal person except that he doesn't speak. Surrounded by the love of his father and queen mother, I believe that he will soon recover his health. King Jin is also relieved.
"The weather was very good today, and it was a great day to travel. Let's go early! The emperor said with red eyes, and as he got older, he couldn't stand the farewell scene more and more.
King Jin looked at his parents' reluctant eyes, and suddenly he was a little sad, and he didn't know when he would see each other this time.
Finally, I said goodbye to my family. King Jin and his entourage marched towards Jiangnan.
Along the way, the relevant personnel of the post station knew that it was the King of Jin who arrived, and they carefully waited for the bedtime. Coupled with the refreshing and comfortable weather in autumn, the scenery along the way is infinitely good. There is no hard work at all, but it is like traveling.
"Let's have a good meal, today we will speed up our pace a little and rush to Yangzhou without staying at the guest house at night!" When having breakfast at the post station, King Jin told everyone.
Everyone who heard the news was very excited and cheered.
Only one person fell into a nervous mood, and the princess of Jin was timid. It's been nearly ten years since I left my hometown, and I'm afraid that my hometown is no longer a thing.
Regardless of Princess Jin's cowardice, Yangzhou came to the front in a blink of an eye. When the fathers and villagers heard that Princess Jin was their hometown, they all came out to beat gongs and drums to welcome King Jin and his wife. The scene was lively.
The newly built Jin Wang's Mansion is extraordinary, and the two stone lions at the door are majestic. The red-lacquered door shone brightly. The corridor behind the entrance is carved with lifelike mythological figures, with Chang'e running to the moon on one side and Nuwa mending the sky on the other. There are artificial lakes on both sides of the corridor, and the lakes are full of lotus flowers.
After walking through this hallway, you will arrive at the living room. This living room is spacious and bright, with well-made mahogany furniture. There is a burst of woody scent.
After being led by the guide, King Jin and the others passed through the front hall and a corridor before finally coming to the back dormitory. On both sides of the corridor are rockeries, and the side of the rockery is full of bamboo, and a piece of emerald green bamboo sways in the wind, and from time to time one or two unknown birds fly. It gives people the illusion of being in a fairyland.
After entering the dormitory, there is no cave. The floor was polished and shiny planks, and near the bed was an ornate Persian carpet. The pale yellow futon on the bed is shiny and looks soft and comfortable. The curtains on the bed are red light gauze, and the whole feeling is very warm and comfortable.
The layout of this room was very different from the Jin Wang's Mansion in Bingzhou. On the one hand, because of the influence of the climate in the north and south, the things needed in the room are quite different, and on the other hand, it is also because the palace building is supervised by Wang Shao.
Wang Shao was not a greedy and flashy person, but considering that the King of Jin would meet with important people in Jiangnan here in the future. The life of Jiangnan celebrities is quite extravagant, if the palace is built a little simple, I am afraid that it will inevitably be ridiculed and despised.
King Jin has been advocating frugality since he was a child because of his parents' teachings, and now the construction of this palace is too luxurious. Frowning and asking the person next to him, "Where is Lord Wang Shao?" ”
"Lord Wang is doing business in the Yamen? Every day I got home after dark. ”
King Jin was slightly unhappy in his heart, how many things did he have to deal with? I know I won't come to greet you!
At this time, a hearty laugh sounded outside the door, and it was Wang Shao's hearty voice. "King Jin has just arrived, and he has begun to worry about the old ministers? Hahaha......"
With this laughter, Wang Shao's footsteps stepped into the door.
"The old minister sees the King of Jin!" After Wang Shao stood still, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed.
King Jin hurriedly helped him up, "Master, please sit down!" ”
So, Wang Shao sat down and talked to the Jin Wang couple about this palace and some recent things.
