Chapter Eighty-Four: Like
Qingliu Ferry.
A row of willow trees along the coast, if it is in April, the catkins are blowing on the face, accompanied by a breeze and drizzle, it is a sorrow.
And at the moment, it's the beginning of August.
Two months ago, Li Yu, the prince of King Cheng, was ordered by the emperor to welcome the imperial concubine of Putuo Mountain Buddha for three years to set off back to Beijing, all the way to the north, originally wanted to arrive in Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival, who knew that the imperial concubine was unwell on the road, delayed for more than ten days, and this dragged on until now.
The men of the Ministry of Rites who had been ordered to greet them waited at the ferry to this day, and finally saw the magnificent royal ship appear at the end of the horizon.
Everyone who stood under the sun all morning breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately cheered up all kinds of spirits to arrange one by one, only by sending the imperial concubine into the capital safely, smoothly and smoothly, they could hold the black gauze hat and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival safely.
When Mu Lianxiao arrived on horseback, the ferry was already full of people kneeling.
He was hanging in the military department for an idle job, and he had a few points of importance from the saint, but he had more errands for the saint in Pingsuri.
I went to Lingdong a month ago, and I just entered the palace to resume my life, and I was pointed out to Qingliu Ferry.
After all, Jiarou Xiangjun, who returned to Beijing with the imperial concubine, was his sister.
In the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Wu looked forward to this only granddaughter to the point that her neck was long.
Mu Lianxiao set off more than ten days later than the people greeted by the Ministry of Rites, and he had to hurry up his horse and whip up this way, and he didn't dare to delay at all, Du Yunluo's estimate of the carriage was a one-way ** day's work, and he arrived in two days, but when he returned, with the imperial concubine's guard of honor, it would probably take more than ten days.
The big royal ship that started at the head had already docked.
The trunks and cages were lifted and carried down, and a curtain was erected on the shore, just waiting for the nobles to disembark.
Mu Lianxiao saw the stitches, hurriedly changed into clean clothes, and quickly walked to his seat and knelt down.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Li Yu, who was wearing a round-necked dragon robe, helped the smiling and kind imperial concubine to slowly get off the boat, and not far behind him was a twenty-eight-year-old girl, who was Mu Lianhui.
Everyone bowed their heads and saluted.
The Ministry of Rites has always been tedious.
The imperial concubine was a little tired of taking the boat, and sat and changed clothes in the curtain to rest.
Li Yu confessed and came out. The officials were called around for flattery.
Glancing at Mu Lianxiao standing under the willow tree on the shore, Li Yu hurriedly raised his voice and called: "Ah Xiao!" ”
Mu Lianxiao heard the sound, turned around and bowed.
Li Yu walked straight to the shore.
The officials did not surround him, and Li Yu was relieved. When he walked under the tree, he exhaled and said, "Finally, I don't have to surround anymore." ”
King Cheng is good at riding and shooting, and Li Yu follows his father, which is also a good skill. Mu Lianxiao often competes with him and knows his character well.
As if unintentionally sweeping over the officials who were gathering to talk, Mu Lianxiao leaned against the willow tree and smiled: "If you don't have such a little vision, how can you wander around the fox den in the Ministry of Rites?" ”
The Fox Den Rite Department was said by the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Mu Lianxiao is also a member of the Ministry of War, so I have heard the old Shangshu talk about it.
Li Yu couldn't help but smile, his slender phoenix eyes were stained with a smile, thinking of Mu Lianxiao's current identity. He quipped, "Don't forget that your father-in-law is also a fox wandering around the fox's den." ”
Mu Lianxiao didn't expect Li Yu to mention this stubble, and she was embarrassed for a while.
Li Yu smiled even more happily.
"What are the little princes and the second brother talking about?"
The girl's gentle and beautiful voice came, and Mu Lianxiao followed the prestige, and saw Mu Lianhui coming over with a smile.
The thin and cool shallow water green Hangzhou silk cut the narrow sleeves of the placket, and wore two clear and verdant hostas on her head, Mu Lianhui's dress is very plain, like a Buddha before Qinglian, but as long as you know some materials and jewelry, you can see that her outfit is not simple.
Mu Lianhui, who hasn't seen her for three years, has grown taller. But in the presence of two tall young men, it was only enough to reach their chests.
Mu Lianxiao called "eldest sister".
Mu Lianhui smiled and asked again: "Seeing you smiling happily from afar, what are you laughing at?" ”
Mu Lianxiao coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed.
Li Yu smiled even more. said: "Just talking about Ah Xiao's father-in-law." ”
The smile stiffened slightly, and after being stunned for a moment, Mu Lianhui laughed again: "Yes, Ah Xiao has already made a marriage." Tell me about the eldest sister, what kind of person is the girl of the Du family? ”
"It's a ......" Mu Lianxiao looked up after thinking about it, and saw that Li Yu was also listening with interest. He suddenly didn't want to answer.
No matter what he said, when he returned to the capital, not only Li Luan, the prince of King Rui, Li Ke, the crown prince, and other clansmen of the same grade, but I was afraid that even Cining Palace would have to know.
It's just him, at most, he makes these people laugh, and in the future, there are more opportunities to pay back, but Du Yunluo ......
Thinking of Du Yunluo, who sat down in front of her, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, Mu Lianxiao's heart couldn't help but itch, as if she was scratching a cat's paws.
Because of the matter of the county lord An Ran before, she has added a lot of rumors and rumors, this time......
If there are more of them this time, the delicate person will cry again.
He didn't want to make her cry.
She only looks good when she laughs.
Seeing that Mu Lianxiao didn't answer, Li Yu blinked his phoenix eyes: "Ah Xiao, you haven't seen her yet, right?" ”
Li Yu has been away from Beijing for more than two months, and he has not heard of the affairs of Fayin Temple.
Mu Lianhui covered her lips and smiled: "No, look at him, he has obviously seen it and doesn't want us to know." ”
Li Yu laughed loudly.
Mu Lianxiao told the two of them to laugh so much that their ears were hot, they were not white-faced scholars, their honey-colored skin had been sunburned under the sun for a long time, and their blushing was not obvious.
He subconsciously grasped the purse around his waist.
A twist of the fingertips is the outline of the small and round beads.
The pearl picked up in the Fayin Temple, Mu Lianxiao wanted to return it at first, but after missing the opportunity, she was reluctant to return it, put it in her purse, stretched out her hand and stroked it, it was there.
I don't know if she likes the folding fan that day she sent someone to send her.
The errand runner came back without seeing Du Yunluo's face, which made Mu Lianxiao a little dissatisfied, obviously telling him to deliver it by hand, but it was to be handed over by Du Yunru.
At that time, the man said with a sad face, the eldest sister of the Du family laughed unfathomably, and she couldn't stand it, so she asked the girl how to go, and came back with a fan.
Mu Lianxiao couldn't understand these unfathomable words at that time, but now facing Li Yu and Mu Lianhui, he understands deeply.
I don't blame the man for turning around and running away.
However, I heard that Du Yunluo's feet are already healed and she can walk, which is much more reassuring.
The fall in Fayin Temple should have been quite painful.
I knew that I wouldn't let go of anything at that time.
Mu Lianxiao thought to herself, Mu Lianhui saw him distracted, the corners of her lips raised, and her smile deepened.
It seems that the prince of their house likes the fifth lady of the Du family quite much, much more than she thought before.
That's fine.
If he likes it, it's fine. (To be continued.) )
