Chapter 068: The City Lord's Support Group
Jinghe Wharf is located in the outer city of the imperial capital and is the terminus of the North-South Grand Canal from south to north. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
People come and go here every day, some send goods, some pick up goods, some give people, some pick up people, day after day, the same picture is played out every day...... However, since half a month ago, the area around Jinghe Wharf has begun to be lively. The reason for this excitement originated from a news that went crazy in the imperial capital's noble women's circle a month ago - that is, Qu Tianlin, the lord of Linlang City, will enter the imperial capital with his newlywed wife to congratulate General Yang on his birthday in the Weiyuan General's Mansion!
Qu Dacheng, who is regarded as the rouge of the southern kingdom and the first husband in the heart of the northern Jiaowa, has come to the imperial capital, and it is still after he is newly married, which is amazing!
The circle of nobles in the imperial capital exploded as if someone had dropped a bombshell.
On top of that, they also received news that the newlywed wife of the lord of Qu Dacheng had been fed sterilization medicine on the day she returned to the door. This made many noble ladies who admired the city lord of Qu began to move again.
As a result, the support group composed of the nobles who admired Qu Tianlin began to plan intensively to welcome the city lord of Qu to the imperial capital at Jinghai Wharf.
Because communication in ancient times was not as developed as in modern times, half a month before General Yang's birthday, the nobles of the support group took turns to wait at the Jinghe Wharf, so as not to miss the time when the city lord of Qu arrived in the imperial capital.
Wangjing Restaurant can be regarded as the most luxurious restaurant in the area of Jinghe Wharf, and it has a greater advantage, that is, it has a good view, and you can see the scenery on the Jinghe River at a glance.
Such a good place was naturally chosen as a resting place for the city lord's support group. In order to put an end to the idle people and other nobles who disturbed the purity and wealth, they chartered the entire Wangjing Restaurant.
The fifth princess and the county lord of Qiyun even dispatched the personal soldiers of the palace to guard around the Wangjing Restaurant, in case the rebellious party and traitors took the opportunity to cause chaos and planned kidnapping.
Purple Qi Pavilion is taken from the meaning of purple gas coming from the east.
It is the most luxurious decoration and the best view of Wangjing Restaurant. This is naturally the place where some of the highest-ranking royal nobles in the support group rest. But today, only the only daughter of the eldest princess of Zhaode, the county lord of Chunyin, was free.
In the capital, the circle of nobles is divided into two major factions, one is the princess faction headed by Princess Ayara, the fifth princess of the current saint, and the other faction is the county lord faction headed by the righteous daughter of the virtuous king Qiyun county lord. This Chunyin county lord belongs to the county lord's faction.
If you count her age, she is slightly half a year older than the county lord of Qiyun, but in the imperial capital, who doesn't know that the county lord of Chunyin has always regarded the county lord of Qiyun as the head of the horse. And the lord of Qiyun County was pleased with Qu Tianlin, and went to the imperial court to ask His Majesty for marriage, and the matter had long been spread throughout the imperial capital, which also caused a lot of sensation at that time, and was also written into a poem by those literati and writers, and the title of this poem was "Golden Branches Seeking Lin".
This time, the county lord of Qiyun also came to the Purple Qi Pavilion to wait for Qu Tianlin in person, but just a few days ago, Princess Xian was going to Chongming Shi on the outskirts of the imperial capital to pray for blessings for a few days, and the county lord of Qiyun had to accompany his stepmother, so he asked the county lord of Chunyin, one of his best sisters, to be sure to stay in the Purple Qi Pavilion every day to greet Qu Tianlin instead of her.
Sitting in the purple gas pavilion all day, naturally a little boring, the owner of Chunyin County, as his name suggests, has been fond of music since he was a child, and he plays the piano well, so he brought his beloved guzheng to relieve his boredom. In fact, in the imperial capital, if it is about piano skills, no one can compare to the county lord of Qiyun, which is why the county lord of Chunyin always likes to follow the county lord of Qiyun.
It was autumn, and the imperial capital in the north was not as hot as the south, and the autumn tiger sky was wanton, but it was very cool.
The county lord of Chunyin wore a lake-green embroidered lotus pattern palace skirt, combed a flying bun, and inserted many chic hair accessories on his head to embellish it, and the whole person looked elegant and playful.
She recently learned a song called "You Are the Wind, I Am the Sand" from the county lord of Qiyun, and she liked it very much.
"The county lord is the Qu Clan's merchant ship." Holding a Western telescope, the maid Cui'er, who had been guarding the window, suddenly said in surprise, interrupting the county lord of Chunyin, who was practicing.
She stood up happily, went to the window, and took the sunset binoculars from Cui'er's hand to look at the ...... Sure enough, on the Jing River, the merchant ship heading towards the dock was flying a flag symbolizing the Qu family's business.
The county lord of Chunyin put down the Western binoculars and hurriedly instructed her personal maid Cui'er: "Quick, go and inform everyone to line up at the dock." ā
Soon, the news that the Qu merchant ship was about to arrive at the dock spread to everyone. The ladies who wanted to see Qu Tianlin again tidied up their clothes and makeup as quickly as possible, however, they rushed to the dock to take a queue and wait for the arrival of their admirers.
The movement on the docks also alarmed Mo'er and them.
She stood on the deck and took a look, and saw that there was a crowd of people under the ship, dozens of brightly dressed noblewomen were waiting for Qu Tianlin there like fans in their previous lives to greet their idols at the airport.
Mo'er's expression seemed to be smiling, and she said to Qu Tianlin: "It is worthy of being regarded as the first husband in the hearts of all women in the Great Xia Kingdom, and it is really popular." ā
Why does this sound so sour?!
Qu Tianlin's phoenix eyes were full of smiles: His wife won't be jealous.
The slender hand hooked Mo'er's slender shoulder from behind, Qu Tianlin rested his chin on Mo'er's left shoulder, and his thin lips pressed to her ear: "Lady, can your husband understand your words as that you are jealous!" ā
Qu Tianlin definitely didn't know that he had a crisp bamboo fragrance on his body, which not only smelled good but also demagogic, and almost Mo'er was confused by him.
Mo'er smiled.
deliberately gave an ambiguous answer: "Perhaps." ā
Perhaps?
Qu Tianlin's good-looking sword eyebrows were raised, does this mean that he is jealous, or is he not jealous?
He wanted to continue to ask clearly, but when he saw the curvature of the corner of Mo'er's mouth, he understood that he was being teased by Mo'er.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Qu Tianlin was about to slap Mo'er's little ass a few times as punishment.
When he got off the boat, Qu Tianlin hugged Mo'er into his arms and protected his wife in the crook of his arm. I don't know if it was the noble girl who let out a scream first, and soon, the originally neatly arranged formation quickly became chaotic after Qu Tianlin appeared.
As soon as he saw this scene, a drop of cold sweat slipped from Xuanlin's forehead, who had experienced it once.
Look! Look! These are these so-called famous girls!
Fortunately, with the previous experience, Xuan Lin was not as helpless as the previous time, he calmly arranged for the guards to surround the city lord and his wife and Chenshuang, and used his body as a shield to carve out a way to the carriage according to the pre-designed route.
However, Qu Tianlin is like a super magnet, and these noble ladies are nails attracted to him one by one, surging from all directions, forming a net, wanting to catch him.
However, there will be loopholes in all nets, and under the protection of Xuanlin's path and the guards' human walls, the city lord and his wife are like nimble fish, and they have escaped the net without danger.
As soon as they got into the carriage, they quickly drove away from the docks.
When the ladies saw them getting into the carriage, they also rushed to their own carriages and ordered the coachmen to follow them.
ps: Sorry, I went out to do something in the morning, and I'm only here to update it now.
