31. Travel to the capital together
After speaking, he arrived at the courtyard where Yuan Ziqing lived. The yard is not big, you can see the small three houses through the courtyard wall, the bamboo forest is shaded, and a lot of flowers and trees are planted in the yard, it is the season of flowers at this time, it is very lively. When I got closer, the plaque hanging on the courtyard gate was the word "out of Xiu". There is another couplet, which reads "The birds are frightened, and the white clouds are supporting the trees".
There was an inconspicuous cyan carriage parked outside the courtyard gate, and Yuan Ziqing's little servant Qingyun was guarding the door, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Shizi, the car is ready." โ
Yuan Ziqing bowed slightly, turned around and asked him to get into the car. Xingyun said again, "Our girl is in the same car with the son? I'm afraid it's not appropriate. โ
Hearing this, he couldn't hold back his eyebrows, and laughed, "Xingyun, how many times have you said 'inappropriate' today?" Why don't I change your name to girl, how about it? โ
"Girl!" Xingyun paused, "Who am I for?" โ
"Know you're for me." He patted her shoulder on the side of his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Xingyun, you should know that the things I have set will never change." โ
Xingyun pursed his lips, quite angry, but he kept looking at her with his eyebrows, and in the end he could only compromise, "The slave knows!" Then he got into the car with his eyebrows on his shoulder.
I don't know what the girl likes about this person? It's like I'm obsessed!
Yuan Ziqing got into the car behind the two and sat opposite the two. Xingyun turned his face slightly and didn't look at Yuan Ziqing. Although she was not very satisfied with this uncle in her heart, she couldn't deny that he was indeed born with a fairy appearance and a dusty temperament, which made people dare not look at him. Xingyun was afraid that if he looked at him a few more times, he would no longer be able to raise the strength to oppose him.
It's no wonder that her own girl is tempted, Xingyun secretly thinks in his heart, if this prince smiles at himself and speaks softly, can he resist it? The answer was that Xingyun silently hid his face and cast a sympathetic glance at his own girl.
Yuan Ziqing was pouring tea for his eyebrows at this time, "It's not a good tea, it's the wild tea behind Dongshan Temple, this new tea that was picked during Qingming this year, I fried it myself, you taste it." โ
"Tea doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, as long as you drink it well." He said a word before he lowered his head to taste tea.
After drinking it, I knew that Yuan Ziqing was too humble. The tea is crisp and sweet, with a slight hint of bitterness, which is endlessly memorable. It is not inferior to the tribute tea that has been drunk on the side of the eyebrows. She put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "But is there anything else that the son of the world wouldn't?" โ
This can be regarded as a very high compliment, Yuan Ziqing said, "I'm ashamed, only these miraculous tricks can be mastered." Those gentlemen who should learn the six arts are much inferior. โ
"The son of the world is too modest, and the sound of the piano is still lingering." Eyebrows said.
Yuan Ziqing was about to speak, but suddenly coughed. Mei was startled, and hurriedly handed over the handkerchief in his hand. Yuan Ziqing took it and covered her lips, showing a touch of shame at her, but her brows furrowed slightly, and she coughed endlessly. This movement was so loud that even Qingyun, who was driving the car outside, was alarmed, lifted the curtain and said, "Shizi, do you want to take medicine?" โ
"Not necessarily." Yuan Ziqing waved his hand, took the tea on the table and drank it all, then leaned against the wall of the car to adjust his breathing, and only after a moment did he suppress the coughing sensation.
He held the handkerchief on his eyebrows into the palm of his hand, with a little apology on his face, "It's an old problem, and every time the season changes, I always cough non-stop." Makes you laugh. โ
Mei Pan hurriedly shook his head and said with concern, "I know a few ways to suppress cough, I don't need to take medicine, go back and write it down, you can take it back and try it." โ
Yuan Ziqing knew that his situation was completely different from ordinary wind and cold cough, and the โกโก had already entered his lungs, so he would cough non-stop, and these prescriptions must be useless. However, he couldn't bear to brush the kindness on his brow, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay." โ
As the capital of the Son of Heaven, the capital is prosperous and lively. All over the world, everything that is sold, you can find it here. Yuanzifang came to the more lively West Market, where there are also shops, but more goods are placed on small stalls for people to choose. The flow of people rubbed shoulders with each other, surrounded by laughter and bargaining sounds, highlighting the โกโก of the flashy world.
Not to mention the eyebrows, even Yuan Ziqing himself has never been here. It's just that I heard Qingyun mention it, and I thought it was quite interesting, so I came over with my eyebrows.
As a result, when he got out of the car, he himself frowned first. It's very interesting to watch from the sidelines. A fairy-like character like Yuan Ziqing, I really can't imagine what it would be like for him to squeeze around with others in the crowd.
Fortunately, there is a very reliable Qingyun, he parked the car, turned back and said, "Lord Shizi, this West Market is divided into several markets according to the different items bought and sold, and this side sells daily commodities, so there are more people." Why don't the prince and the third girl go to the place next to the place where the four treasures of the study room and the books and picture scrolls are sold? โ
Hearing this, Yuan Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Qingyun approvingly, and then turned his head and asked, "What do you see?" โ
"Let's go check it out." Mei Pan said, "I have nothing to do on weekdays, and I also want to buy two books to read." I just don't know what to buy, can the prince recommend it? โ
Qingyun hurriedly pulled Xingyun to lead the way in front. Yuan Ziqing followed behind two steps behind, and said to his eyebrows, "What books do you read on weekdays?" If you like poetry, there is an excellent book of "Yingchuan Singing" recently, I heard that it is an imitation of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the poems are sung and sung, which is not interesting. If you like to read landscape travelogues, I remember that the Weixia Mountain man who returned to Beijing two years ago wrote down his experience of traveling the world and presented it to His Majesty Xiร to read......"
Meibian said, "I don't know if it's good or not, so I went to the bookstore and asked Shizi to pick out a few books for me." โ
"It's an honor."
turned to the street that Qingyun said, and sure enough, there were a lot fewer people. And most of them were concentrated in the big bookstore, Yuan Ziqing glanced at it, and took the lead in walking into a small shop with a cold door. Qingyun wanted to say to his master that no one came to the door to explain that the things in the store were not good, but when he turned his head and saw people coming and going in the big bookstore, he knew that the master would never go. I had to sigh and follow.
Fortunately, the business of this shop is not good, probably because the location is too remote, the decoration inside is also elegant, and the books sold are also printed by the big bookstore, not to mention how exquisite it is, at least the quality is good. What is surprising is that there are not many popular collections of current essays here, but there are many unpopular books, and the few books that Yuan Ziqing mentioned to Meibian before have been found here.
He handed the book he picked out to his eyebrows and said, "You can read one or two first, so as not to buy it back and dislike it." โ
He shook his head at the edge of his eyebrows, thinking that since he liked it, he thought that there was something to be desired. She wished she could have more to say to him, and if she could read more of his favorite books, she would know more about him. So he took a few books in his hand and said with a smile, "No need, I can trust the world." โ
When I was checking out, I saw several strangely shaped beads hanging on the counter, and one of the thin chains was hung with a teardrop-shaped stone, which looked very cute, so I asked, "Shop, do you sell these strings too?" โ
The shopkeeper said, "That's something from the Western Regions, looking at the novelty, it's actually not valuable." My friend gave me and hung it here as a decoration. If the girl likes it, it doesn't hurt to give you a string. โ
"No, I'll pay for it anyway." He said, "I'll buy two skewers, is it okay?" โ
"That girl looks at giving a few pennies." The store has a business to do, so naturally it will not refuse.
He took the string of water droplets on his eyebrows, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that there was a string hanging in the corner, and the things that fell on it did not look like jade, but the color was white and delicate, and it was polished into a peculiar shape, which looked very mysterious.
She reached out and asked, "What is this string made of?" โ
"It's made of bones." Shopkeeper Road.
Mei was startled when he heard this, and almost threw the things in his hand out. Fortunately, the shopkeeper continued, "It's the bones of some animal over there in the Western Regions, and the color and texture are better than jade. Therefore, people in the Western Regions often use it to polish and make accessories. This strange thing is said to be the appearance of the Buddha in the Western Regions, so it can also bless the wearer with good health and no diseases. โ
No disease and no disaster...... With a tight hand on his eyebrows, he held the skewers in the palm of his hand, "Then I want these two skewers." Xingyun, checkout. โ
