Chapter 110: Qingming Sacrifice Sweep
Yesterday, the small courtyard listened to the wind and rain overnight, and at the end of the day, the wind and rain gradually stopped, and Zhou Zhenwei was early, and he had already ridden a white horse and went in the direction of Chu Taifu's mansion.
The bluestone slabs were wet, and the horses' hooves were wet and tapping, with the sound of a clattering tide. In the deep alleys of the long street next to it, there is a plain-clothed village woman standing against the wall, carrying a green bamboo basket, which is full of clusters of apricot blossoms dripping dew, and the oak seeds are fragrant.
Zhou Zhenwei turned over and dismounted, bought some apricot blossom berries, tied a bunch with green star grass with ribbons, and placed them on the saddle, thinking that it was not far from the Chu Taifu Mansion, and it was still early to see that it was still early, so he led the horse leisurely forward.
Coming from afar was the mighty queue of carriages and horses in the palace. Two rows of sarongs are in front of the lead, the feather palace fan is lightly covered, followed by several carriages, a color of azure curtain, a copper pattern decoration nail car, under the bright yellow banner, is a shaking and crisp bead curtain, and a number of followers in front and back are in order. They all wore purple shirts and white pants, their heads were wrapped in white silk, their faces were solemn, and they were silent and silent. Every year on Qingming Day, the royal clan and the children and children of the family need to go to Linghua Temple and Xianqing Courtyard to worship the emperor's mausoleum, burn incense and burn paper to worship, and this year is no exception.
Gradually, there were more people who stopped to watch, and Zhou Zhenwei was not very interested, so he only lowered his head and led the horse, carefully avoiding it.
The maid of the first palace walked through the crowd, blessed him in front of him, and invited him to speak in front of Princess Xinyang.
Zhou Zhenwei didn't answer, he only raised his eyes and looked at it lightly, the golden-topped sedan chair, covered with white veil, faintly revealing a personal shadow, but he sat dignified.
So he found a nearby tree and tied the horse. turned around again, but saw Xinyang's sedan chariot stopped not far from him, just waiting.
Zhou Zhenwei walked to her and stopped, saluted without humility or arrogance through the veil, and then said respectfully: "I don't know why Princess Xinyang is looking for a minister?" ”
The princess was silent for a while, her voice was quite calm, and finally said softly: "My father and the emperor have told Xinyang, would you rather go to investigate the headless case for Chu Yuqiao than take care of Xinyang's mind?" ”
She paused, didn't wait for Zhou Zhenwei's reaction, and said straightly: "What does Lord Zhou think of this palace in his heart?" Compared to that Chu Yuqiao, what about it? ”
"Princess Xinyang's golden branches and jade leaves, a noble body, how can our ministers talk at will!" Zhou Zhenwei replied lightly: "As for Yuqiao, it is even more different from the princess!" ”
"Knowing this, why did Lord Zhou abandon the sky and bow down?" The princess asked in a deep voice!
"The sky is out of reach, like a shadow. The ground is warm and fresh, that is, hugging it! Xiao Chen likes to be down-to-earth! ”
Xinyang through the veil, seems to hear clearly, and seems to be indistinguishable, there is a breeze coming, she followed the seam, and glimpsed that although Zhou Zhenwei's words were alienated, the meaning was indifferent. But the cold and hard outline of the face became more and more gentle because of the meaning of the words.
She is an arrogant and indulgent character, how can she stand Zhou Zhenwei's contempt, and suddenly the sadness, envy, and anger in her heart are twisted together, and the emotions of jealousy and pain are derived, and the hot stabs her eyes.
If it was someone else, she would have ordered the guards to tie him up, and a thousand knives would not be enough to relieve the hatred in her heart. But this is no stranger! It is to save the life of his father and the emperor, and he also respects Zhou Zhenwei in his words!
She closed her eyes, forced herself to suppress the anger, and after a little patience, she sighed and said softly: "Lord Zhou is majestic and courageous, and it is by no means a thing in the pool, Xinyang has been in love with adults for a long time. If you think that being a colt has broken your career, you have no fear! ”
Princess Xinyang saw that his face was still as calm as water, and she couldn't see the slightest ravine, but she didn't say a word and listened, and gradually lowered her voice: "The empress of the previous dynasty is mighty, although the palace is a daughter, but she has the ambition of the imperial brother. ”
Zhou Zhenwei smiled, and his tone couldn't be more ordinary: "Princess Xinyang just said, I didn't understand a word in the next place, so naturally I couldn't answer her meaning, forgive the minister for being clumsy, and ask the princess to choose another high branch!" ”
Princess Xinyang's face was gloomy in an instant, and she said coldly, "Lord Wangzhou, please think twice." If the case of Queen Wang was easy, how could it be left to this day? I'm afraid that when the time comes, the adults will not talk about the bamboo basket to draw water, and they will waste all this energy in vain! ”
Zhou Zhenwei didn't answer, let alone bothered to pay attention, thinking that because of the answer with the princess, he had delayed a lot of time, so he hurriedly saluted her again, turned around and was about to stride away.
This completely annoyed Princess Xinyang, she looked at Zhou Zhenwei's generous and burly back, couldn't help but laugh angrily, gritted her teeth and said: "Lord Zhou, don't blame this palace for not mentioning it to you, but you have to take a close look at that Chu Yuqiao, that is a weak body, maybe one day you won't be able to survive!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhenwei suddenly stopped, was silent, turned around, and looked at her intently.
After a while, his face was cold and violent, his voice was low and deep, and he threw it straight at Princess Xinyang: "Who dares to touch her!" I will see people kill people, and I will never spare the Buddha when I see the Buddha kill the Buddha! Please also Princess Xinyang, so that you can do it yourself! ”
Yuqiao had been waiting for a while, and had already sat down to eat tea and read a book, and then either paced back and forth in front of his house, or straightened his waist, stretched his neck and squinted into the distance.
During this period, he sent away the brother who was weird and awkward, and rushed to the grain store in an awkward way, and sent away the father who went to the Hanlin Academy to discuss matters, with an obscure face, and a little bit of the little maid who went in and out of the house.
When Zhou Zhenwei came on a white horse and brocade clothes, she silently returned to the public opinion, and she was lazy to even complain.
However, Cai Fu opened her big eyes, ran to Zhou Zhenwei's face, and said unfairly: "Lord Zhou has no faith in his words!" said that the time was on time, and the young lady was waiting at the gate of the house at dawn, but the adults always didn't come! Isn't it rare for my young lady to be rare! ”
"Tsefu!" Yu Qiao blushed and said, "If you don't talk, no one will treat you as dumb, and don't follow me!" ”
Cai Fu pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "The slave maid asked the grievances for the young lady!" How can you still be alive, Miss is not happy! ”
Yuqiao gritted his teeth and sighed: "Do you speak for your master like this!" It's the one who came to shame me! ”
Zhou Zhenwei looked at his own wrongness, the master and servant began to speak, and hurriedly smiled at Cai Fu and said, "Your young lady is rare in my heart!" When he said this, he looked towards the jade, but he saw that the girl was also glancing over, and his eyes collided, and the girl was thin-skinned, so she turned her face with a peach and hid in the public opinion.
Zhou Zhenwei curled his lips and hurriedly continued: "I met the royal sacrificial convoy on the road, so I delayed for a while, and I hope Yuqiao will forgive me!" ”
After a moment of silence, Yuqiao's voice came softly: "Something must have happened!" Don't blame Lord Zhou! ”
Zhou Zhenwei was stunned, and a vague thought flashed in his heart, these thoughts of his own, this little Qiaoer seems to always see through! Could it be that he is really a fox who has become a spirit?
Note: There is one more more, watch it tomorrow morning! (To be continued.) )
