Chapter 70 The Crowd Surging to Dingxi (2)

Thousands of people are in the dust, but the person who was held by Xiahou Yi himself, dignified, neat and atmospheric, although she is a woman, she is wearing the clothes of a military attache from the second grade, when everyone kowtows to her, Her Royal Highness the princess only said loudly: "Now this official is just a military general from the second grade, although the adults and the lower are different grades, but they also deserve this great gift, please please hurry up!" ”

Everyone looked at each other a little, the painting said so, but where did everyone dare to treat her as an ordinary official, if it was an ordinary official, where would they use the pomp and circumstance that let the officials of Xiliang Mansion come out to greet her? It's not because Lan Qiduo is a princess, but now that Her Royal Highness the princess has spoken, everyone can only obey.

The weather in March and April is the time when the northwest wind and sand are strong, and there are many people standing densely at the old and dilapidated city gates, and occasionally a gust of wind blows through almost all of them have the same ambition to squint their eyes.

The people at the front who were separated from everyone by a distance were dressed in civil and military attachΓ©s of various grades such as the third and fourth grades, and behind them were some men or women who were dressed properly and dressed in silk and satin.

Some of the latter are the people who are cleanly clothed, but patched with patches, and the people are further away from the people are inconspicuous green oil cars, and in front of the green oil cars are a few powerful women-in-law, a little can make people guess which is the female dependent of a wealthy family.

The first two kinds of people are a little flustered about the arrival of Lan Qiduo, as the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, Princess Yuanjia represents His Majesty, they just want to be filial and don't have the courage, and the back is nothing to do with themselves, and even some complain about the arrival of Lan Qiduo, because of the arrival of this so-called princess, they have to put down the work in their hands and delay half a day to do this so-called welcome.

The ladies in the green oil cart were thinking about how to befriend Her Royal Highness the princess so that they could help their husbands, so that they could pay attention to them in the backyard.

The crowd walked forward slowly, and Xiahou Yi pointed to the people standing on both sides and introduced Lan Qiduo to which one was the Xiliang Prefect, which one was the Xiliang Tongzhi, and which one was the Xiliang Zhizhou.

There were a large number of people, not to mention twenty or thirty, Lan Qiduo only asked the prefect, Tongzhi and Zhizhou, and said to Xiahou Yi: "This should be General Lu?" ”

"The Last General ......"

"General Lu doesn't have to be polite, Your Majesty once said that General Lu is a rare good general in Daqi to defend the city, this ...... Your Excellency has come to the northwest this time, and you have to rely on General Lu a lot! ”

General Lu is a big man in his forties who is in the prime of life, the wind and sand in the northwest blow his skin dark and swarthy, hearing Lan Qiduo say that Emperor Kangtai praised him, and the big slap of the fan was about to shine on Lan Qiduo's shoulder in a moment of excitement, Xiahou Yi's eyes were quick: "General Lu, Your Highness has been tired all the way, if you have anything to say, let's go into the city and say." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Town! Town! ”

General Lu was a little embarrassed, and finally remembered that the person in front of him who was wearing a second-grade military attache complement and was too beautiful was a girl, and he changed the original slap to Xiahou Yi and played haha, Xiahou Yi's face did not change and he accepted it, thinking that General Lu's poor popularity was not unreasonable! If you don't change the habit of patting your shoulder, no one will like him!

Those prefects, Tongzhi and the like, saw that Lan Qiduo was surrounded by a group of people and walked forward, so that the people who came out to greet them dispersed, and for a while the people at the gate of the city were scattered, and soon there were the families of the soldiers who came with Lan Qiduo all the way, and these families of the Dingxi Army had to continue to rush to the Dingxi Protectorate, and the Dingxi Protectorate would continue to go to the west of Xiliang Mansion for half an hour, but fortunately, the destination was in sight, and everyone was very excited.

However, the children who have been playing with Lan Qiduo watched Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was not at all different from usual, being surrounded into the city, and said with some reluctance: "Mother, can we see the princess playing with her again?" ”

No wonder children are the most sensitive, they themselves also faintly feel that when they arrive at the destination, they are not anxious with Lan Qiduo, thinking that these days children are happy even if they are in a hurry, is it because of Her Royal Highness the Princess? Playing with the children, teaching them to read, giving them snacks that they have never seen before, and being so gentle and generous, it is no wonder that the children like it.

"Of course you can, in the future, the princess will also live in the same place with us, and now she is just going to someone else's house as a guest."

Xiaodouzi nodded, in fact, Xiaodouzi's mother knew in her heart that she didn't know if she could see Her Royal Highness the princess in the future, so she was always comforting the child.

Lan Qiduo looked at the main street of Xiliang Mansion all the way, although she also saw that this place had been carefully cleaned, but the road was full of potholes, the surrounding shops were also gray, and there were not many customers.

The most important thing is that compared to the prosperity of the capital, it is almost like the scale of a town, but in fact this is Xiliangfu City, and Lan Qiduo can't imagine what Dingxi is like.

Naturally, the prefect is the largest official here, and his family naturally lives behind the prefect, Lan Qiduo remembered the prefect at all, and asked Xiahou Yi in a low voice: "What is his surname?" ”

Xiahou Yi also replied in a low voice: "The one on the left is surnamed Xue, and the one on the right is surnamed Huang. ”

Xiahou Yi is an official of the fourth grade, but no one in the audience dared to snub him, especially the prefect who trembled as soon as he saw Xiahou Yi's eyes, he will never forget that this man took a knife to his neck and told him to open a warehouse to release grain, and his entourage was just about to come over to save him, but Xiahou Yi cut off his little finger with a flying knife.

"Lord Xue, there is only one female stream in the next, and the government affairs of Xiliang Mansion are not under the control of the subordinates, so in the future, it is better to follow the past appearance of Xiliang Mansion!"

These words suddenly made Xue Zhifu happy, and he was still busy saying: "Where! Where! If there are deficiencies, please correct them, and the lower officials will work hard to correct them! ”

"Lord Xue is serious!"

"Princess...... Lan Duhu here, please, the lower official has asked Humble Jing to prepare drinks for the adults to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”

This is quite nondescript, but basketball is the most special female official in Daqi now, and there is no way to do it, you can't ask Xiahou Yi to change cups with a group of men.

Lord Xue also wanted to lead Lan Qiduo to the inner courtyard behind the Yamen, Xiao Tuxi put his hand on his waist and stood majestically in front of Lan Qiduo, directly making Lord Xue a little embarrassed.

Xiahou Yi looked funny, but still spoke: "I also invite the female dependents of Lord Xue's family to come and receive Lan Duhu." ”

Xue Zhifu finally suddenly realized that he wiped the sweat on his head, no wonder the female guard looked very unkind, it turned out to be because of this, oops! This is chaotic now, he actually forgot that this Lan Duhu is a real woman, what does he look like when he leads a man to the inner courtyard? Is!

It was the wife of the prefect who came out to greet her, and his wife was very good at being a person, so she invited the wives of officials of all sizes in Xiliang Mansion to accompany her.

Lan Qiduo was followed by about twenty maids at this time, and the prefect's wife took a group of women of different ages to greet Lan Qiduo first, and then the busy craftsmen took them to the side room that had been prepared early to change clothes.

There is no luxury in the wing, and there is not much difference from the rooms prepared for guests that Lan Qiduo has seen in Beijing before, but the clothes prepared for Lan Qiduo are a little thorough, and it costs a lot of money to do it, but Lan Qiduo has rules for traveling, she can't use things outside, this time when she goes out, Kangtai Emperor even has the clothes and fabrics that Lan Qiduo wears in two years, Lan Qiduo is a day to change his body and will not wear it again for three hundred days a year!

"Put away the clothes, this is a little caution on the part of the prefect's wife, and she can't be brushed off with kindness." Whether to send it or not is someone's business, as for whether to wear it or not, this is Lan Qiduo's problem!

Mama Yun's words Lan Qiduo agreed very much, now even if they are strong dragons, they naturally don't have the taste of the head snake, and this prefect's wife Lan Qiduo has a good eye for her, so she will naturally accept it and not be embarrassed.

Lan Qiduo freshened up, and the seven or eight women in the banquet room over there were also a little nervous, some of them had lived until now, and the biggest one they had seen was the lady of the first and second grades, or the royal county lord and the village lord, and some even said that the most powerful person was just the prefect's wife! Now this Lan Duhu, who is grooming, is not only a second-grade member of the imperial court, but also a super first-grade princess who hurts like an eyeball in His Majesty.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived!"

Among the ten maids sent by the prefect's wife, there were also her own personal maids, which did not come in handy at all, and the people around Lan Qiduo did not let them get close at all, and the maid in front of the prefect's wife found that the maid who carried the toiletry for Her Royal Highness the princess was actually literate and hyphenated, and she casually came up and said a few words, and finally heard her say that she was a low-class little maid, and she couldn't even rank third!

Everyone cheered up to welcome Lan Qiduo's arrival, and when they saw Lan Qiduo, they couldn't take their eyes off.

Lan Qiduo was dressed in a flowing colorful flying flower and a golden Hui Zhai robe, and the twelve torn fairy dresses set off her as if she were a fairy concubine, she walked towards everyone from a distance, and the prefect's wife suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself, before she would feel that her courtyard was one of the best places in Xiliang Mansion, but now she felt that this place was like a pengmen and a house.
