Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Plan
Early in the morning, the heavy snow finally stopped. When you open the window, you can see a silver world, and everything is covered with a thick snow quilt. Raise your eyes and look at it, the jade leaves of the qiong branches, the pink carved jade bricks; Different from the vitality of spring, nature has sent a winter beauty while raining the severe cold. A group of mothers-in-law began to clear the snow from the road with tools, and the snow scene began to become mutilated.
Today, I was going to send Master Zhuang San out of the city, and when I got up early in the morning, Zhuang Minhua also read the gift list.
After confirming that it was correct, Zhuang Minhua put on his cloak and went to Concubine Rong's courtyard to ask for peace first, and when Meng Jinghan came back, they had breakfast together. Concubine Rong glanced at the table clock on the sour branch wooden shelf, and said to Meng Jinghan: "It's not too early, you should go." He said to Zhuang Minhua again: "Bring a good one for your father and mother for me." ”
Zhuang Minhua and Meng Jinghan both agreed, and the two went out and got into the carriage. Meng Jinghan pulled Zhuang Minhua to sit beside him, and touched her placket, "It's a little little dressed." ”
Qian Hong glanced at Zhuang Minhua, and couldn't help but slander, the princess of the county was dressed roundly, and a pink little face was buried in the fiery fox fur, which made her more and more red lips and white teeth, pleasing to the eye. It's all like this, and it's called wearing less, and the princess of the county should carry the quilt out with her when she goes out.
Looking at Qian Hong's distorted expression, Zhuang Minhua couldn't help but laugh. She used to be the kind of person who was very afraid of the cold, and when she came here, although her body became better after washing the marrow, and she was not afraid of the cold, she still couldn't help but be afraid of the cold psychologically, and she couldn't help but wear thicker clothes when she went out.
Today, because she was going out of the city, she deliberately wore an extra leather jacket and this cloak on her body. It's all hairy. Because her current body is the kind of body that looks thin and stripped with flesh, she does look a little delicate on the surface, so Meng Jinghan will worry that she is wearing too little and freezing her every time.
"You touch my hand, it's warm!" As he spoke, he stuffed his warm little hand into Meng Jinghan's big hand, but Meng Jinghan's hand was a little cold. Meng Jinghan held Zhuang Minhua's hand and stuffed a cup of hot tea into her hand, "Your hands are not cold, take a sip of hot tea." Just went all the way. It's a little cold, just go to the cold. ”
Where is there any cold, Zhuang Minhua still took it in his hand and took a sip carefully.
It's time for the dealer. Master Zhuang San was about to get into the carriage. Seeing them coming. Master Zhuang San put down his leg that was about to step into the carriage. Waiting for the little couple to come.
Zhuang Minhua helped Meng Jinghan's men get out of the carriage, walked to Master Zhuang San, and looked at his eager eyes. couldn't help but have a sour nose, red circles under his eyes, and called: "Dad." ”
Master Zhuang San looked at her with relief, glanced at Meng Jinghan again, and said yes in a loud voice. He also said: "Hua'er, after this time, as soon as the three-year term expires, at most next year, your mother and I will come back." This time we can be reunited as a family. ”
Zhuang Minhua was strange, didn't he say that he couldn't come back? How can you come back now? may know Zhuang Minhua's doubts, but Zhuang San just smiled, "Don't worry, this is what the emperor promised." After speaking, he didn't mention it, but only told Zhuang Minhua to live a good life, don't bear anything and remember to write to them. After a series of instructions, when he wanted to talk to Meng Jinghan again, Master Zhuang said helplessly: "Third child, the hour is not early, there is something to talk about while walking." You will set off, and you will have to take a boat to Liuxian, and if you miss it today, it will take a few days to arrive. Don't delay the errand that the emperor has given you. ”
When Master Zhuang heard this, he realized that it was not too early, so he pulled Meng Jinghan into the carriage to talk. Zhuang Minhua had no choice but to go back to the carriage and follow behind their carriage.
Sent all the way out of the city, and then sent to the Changting outside the city, Master Zhuang San instructed Zhuang Minhua a few more words, and was urged by Master Zhuang to set off. Seeing Master Zhuang San's carriage disappear, Zhuang Minhua couldn't help but shed the tears that he had been holding back. She didn't know if it was the original owner's emotions or her own, but she just felt sad anyway.
Zhuang Minhua returned to the carriage first, Meng Jinghan talked to Master Zhuang outside for a long time, and then returned to the carriage, seeing that Zhuang Minhua still looked gloomy, he couldn't help but say: "Why don't I take you to Zhuangzi to see the bow and crossbow that has been made?" ”
Zhuang Minhua smiled reluctantly, "Are you okay today?" I see that you have been busy these days, so don't delay your official business for the sake of me. And if we go out for too long, it's not good to leave the concubine alone in the house. Besides, the snow has accumulated so thick in the past that it is not convenient to drive, so it is better to wait for the weather to be better and the snow melts before going! ”
Meng Jinghan felt justified and told the coachman to turn around and go back to the palace of Rongjun Palace.
Zhuang Minhua asked him, "What did my father tell you?" It's not enough to talk all the way, and I'll call you over to talk when I'm leaving. ”
Meng Jinghan thought of what Master Zhuang San told him about Minmin when he was a child in the carriage, and thought it was very cute. It's a pity that Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang San only lived with Min Min for a few years before sending Min Min back. Otherwise, you can learn more! "My father-in-law told me to be nice to you, otherwise he will fight with me next time he comes back."
Zhuang Minhua felt that these words were what Master Zhuang San would say, and said with a smile: "Then you have to be good to me, otherwise it will be bad for my father to come back to you and work hard." ”
Zheng Yuan stepped on the stairs and went upstairs, entered the private room, and when he saw Ke Yuan, he asked, "Brother Ke Xian, you sent me a message that the beauty has come out, but is it true?" ”
Ke Yuan was surprised, this is really a growth, and he actually knows that he doesn't shout out people's names with a big grin.
Ke Yuan's expression, Zheng Yuan saw it in his eyes, and he also had a plan in his heart. In fact, he also has bitterness and can't say it, who knows that he didn't dare to mutter the name of the beauty anymore because he was scared.
Last time, he accidentally said the name of the county lord of Fenyang, and was chased by her for three streets, so that he didn't even know his mother. And he said that if he heard the woman's name in his mouth again, he would break one of his legs.
It's not that he doesn't want to sue his aunt, but the county lord of Fenyang is the most favored great-granddaughter of the eldest princess of Rong'an. The eldest princess of Rong'an even had to give the emperor three points, not to mention that his aunt didn't dare to mess with her at all. As soon as the county lord of Fenyang arrived, the eldest princess of Rong'an asked her to be the county lord, and the degree of favor can be seen in general. But that dead girl, don't think he's afraid of her, when his cousin ascends the throne, he has to make her look good. Of course, apart from this, he would never admit that he didn't call people by name because he was afraid of being known by King Rongjun.
Ke Yuan saw Zheng Yuan looking at him eagerly, pointed out the window and said, "You can go to the window and watch." She sent her father to work today, and when she turned around, their carriage would have passed by the restaurant, and you could see it from the window. According to my men, they will be coming soon. ”
Zheng Yuan quickly rushed to the window, ignored the cold wind, opened the window, and carefully looked at the scene downstairs.
Ke Yuan walked over, stood side by side with him outside the window, and watched for a while. I just felt the cold wind. He tugged at his clothes. said to Zheng Yuan: "As soon as this window is opened, the heat in the house will run away. I also opened a private room next door, so I'll go and sit down for a while. You have someone to call me. ”
Zheng Yuan waved his hand impatiently, and Ke Yuan almost laughed angrily. Shaking his head, he went next door.
Someone was waiting for him in the house. Ke Yuan closed the door. Only then did he walk to the table and sit down, "Temur, what did you deliberately ask me to ask Zheng Yuan to do?" I don't think you're trying to help him get Princess Rongjun. You want to die, but don't pull me. The prestige of King Rongjun at the border pass was not blown out, but fought with a knife and a gun. And don't forget, last time King Rong Jun was not there, you couldn't even catch a weak woman, and dozens of people were broken, and those dozens of people have not been heard from until now. Now that King Rongjun is with her, I'm afraid that even you will get in. When the time comes, Mr. Mu will not write to reprimand you, but will give up on you directly. ”
As a fanatical believer of Mr. Mu, Ke Yuan said that Mr. Mu would give up on himself one day. Temur was in a bad mood and snorted coldly, "Last time, I underestimated the Zhuang family's status in Meng Jinghan's heart, but I didn't expect that she could even send a large number of secret guards to follow her even to enjoy the flowers, so she lost her hand for a while." This time I let them plant it in my hands as husband and wife. ”
When Ke Yuan heard that he really wanted to deal with Meng Jinghan, his face suddenly changed wildly, "Are you crazy?" Has Mr. Mu ever given you such a task? ”
Temur laughed, "Meng Jinghan will have to be eliminated sooner or later, otherwise he will be an obstacle to our Northern Barbarian march into Great Qi." Mr. Mu has already handed over the task to Princess Naren, who is already on her way to Jinzhou and will arrive soon. Now that my mission in Jinzhou has been completed, it is better to let me play the striker for Princess Naren. ”
Ke Yuan objected, "Although your task is complete, our plan is still ongoing, and there is no room for error." If you fail, won't you be a surprise? ”
Temur smiled and looked next door, "That's why I asked you to invite Zheng Shizi over!" ”
"You're going to use him?"
"What? Could it be that you still get along with brotherly feelings, and you can't bear to take advantage of him? ”
Ke Yuan sneered, "If I had brotherly love for him, I wouldn't have deceived him about the anti-layout, and I wouldn't have tricked him to come over." But I'm here with him, and everybody is watching. If you are planted on him, what will happen to me who is with him? If you can't move Zheng Yuan, can't you move me? I am now only the son of a eunuch. ”
Temur stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and squinted at the street below without the slightest snow. "If you want to get out, it's easy to get out."
A cold wind blew, and Zheng Yuan shivered. A tall attendant with a yellow face came over and put a sable fur cloak on him, and said, "Shizi, although Gongzi Ke said that the carriage would pass by here, you just watch the carriage pass by?" Don't you want to pull the beauty out and kiss the incense? ”
Zheng Yuan sighed, "I want to too!" But I'm afraid! In broad daylight, robbing people's daughters, I can still do it. But robbed the princess of the county and let my father know that he had to skin me. ”
Followers, not only your father will skin you, but even King Rongjun will skin you! But his task today was to let Zheng Yuan do it, so he continued to come up with ideas: "The little one thinks that he can overturn the carriage first, so that the beauty has to come down." When the time comes, taking advantage of the crowd and the eyes, we will make a trick and rob her and go. Wait until Shizi has played, and then let her go back, no. ”
Zheng Yuan heard it in his ears, pondered for a while and felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately smiled, patted his yellow-faced entourage and said: "Good guy, you really have you, you are more flexible than Brother Ke Xian, then I will leave this matter to you."
The attendant immediately agreed, "The little one will go down and arrange it first." ”
"Go ahead!" Zheng Yuan waved his hand, "Bring Ah Da and Ah Er." ”
"Hey!" The yellow-faced retinue promised to leave with a group of people.
Leaving Zheng Yuan alone in the house, Zheng Yuan couldn't sit still happily at the thought of being able to kiss Fang Ze soon. I'm going to show off to Ke Yuan.
Before he could make all his moves, he heard a chaotic sound of "crackling" next door, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out to look, and saw Ke Yuan being beaten out of the private room next door by a bearded man. The bearded man also exclaimed, "This Yama Master has already booked it, but after a while, the store will order it for you." I'll politely ask you to let it out, which can be regarded as giving you face. You still dare not let it, looking for a fight! ”
Ke Yuan was lying on the ground and curled up into a shrimp shape, what the hell is it? It hurts to death.
Temur winked at him, his face was full of beard. This blink. The eyes can't see it anymore.
Ke Yuan couldn't bear to look directly, closed his eyes**, and didn't have to pretend. Communiqué personal vendetta, Temur. You wait for me.
Zheng Yuan rushed over. Pick up Ke Yuan. Pointing at Temur, he shouted, "You are bold, you dare to touch my brother." Do you know who I am? ”
Temur pretended to be timid and asked. "Who are you?"
Zheng Yuan stood up straight and held his head high, "I am Zheng Yuan, the prince of Xiangyang, the favored Concubine Zheng in the palace is my aunt, and King Min of Han is my cousin." ”
Temur was shocked, "It turned out to be Zheng Shizi, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he asks Shizi to forgive him." Be careful about this, and ask the prince to smile. As he spoke, he stuffed a bag of golden melon seeds to Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Yuan took it in his hand and tossed it, a little dissatisfied. A trace of murderous aura flashed in Temur's eyes, and he quickly reined in, stuffed Zheng Yuan with a few silver tickets, and said in a good voice: "Please also ask the prince to have a large number, spare the small one this time." said that he gave Ke Yuan compensation again, "This son, it's mine." Today, I have wrapped all your drinks, which can be regarded as making amends for my son's sins. Saying that, he gave Ke Yuan a fierce look.
Ke Yuan was unhappy in his heart, and when Temur repeatedly apologized, he would let him go when he saw that he was good. Zheng Yuan also said: "This time it depends on your acquaintance, forget it." Next time, even if Brother Ke Xian is willing, I won't let you go. ”
"Yes, yes......" Temur laughed for a while, Ke Yuan watched the play and watched it lively, and saw that Temur was sent away like a grandson, so he laughed out loud, but he was disgusting, it was actually Zheng Yuan who helped him, life is really wonderful!
It's a pity that the laughter involved the abdomen, and it hurt again, Ke Yuan cursed in his heart, covered his stomach, and said to Zheng Yuan: "Shizi, my stomach hurts so much, I want to go to the hospital to have a look." You watch first, and I'll come over after I've seen the doctor. ”
Zheng Yuan nodded, "Then Brother Ke Xian will go first, and I'll wait for you to see the beauty together." As he spoke, he whispered a few words to Ke Yuan, his face full of pride.
Ke Yuan despised it in his heart, agreed with it on his face, and asked his subordinates to help him go quickly, and if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to get out.
Zheng Yuan looked forward to Ke Yuan's coming back soon, but unfortunately Ke Yuan's subordinates came back again, and told him that Ke Yuan was a little seriously injured, and he would go back to the house to recuperate first, and they would make an appointment next time.
Although Zheng Yuan was a little disappointed, there was a beauty to divert his attention and soon he didn't care. rewarded the man with a golden melon seed, and sent him away.
Meng Jinghan accompanied Zhuang Minhua to sit in the carriage, and the two talked all the way. Meng Jinghan seemed to be relaxed, but in fact, his whole body was tense, ready to exert his strength at any time.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the wall of the car outside, Meng Jinghan lifted the corner of the curtain and looked outside, and the person outside handed in a note. Meng Jinghan opened it and looked at it, and his brows immediately furrowed.
These days, there have been people snooping outside the palace, and he thinks it is someone sent by the emperor. When he went out today, someone was following him, and Meng Jinghan was worried that the emperor would send someone to assassinate him again. The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. He himself is not afraid, but he is afraid that Minmin will be hurt. When he went out, he made all the arrangements.
But judging from the news on this kind of note, it is not the emperor's person at all, but the person of Xiangyang Hou Shizi, but Zheng Shizi is tracking their husband and wife for what? I don't know that Zheng Yuan is playing with Zhuang Minhua's idea, otherwise he would have to abolish Zheng Yuan with his character. Last time in Fang's house, because Zheng Yuan was also designed, Meng Jinghan just beat him up and let him go.
And Meng Jinghan didn't expect that Zheng Yuan didn't know that he was also in the carriage at all, otherwise where would he dare to do it. And on the surface, although these people are Zheng Yuan's, they are not listening to Zheng Yuan's words.
Meng Jinghan said to the people waiting outside: "Send them all away." After thinking about it, I was worried that the emperor's people would fish in troubled waters and hurt Minmin. And last time, there was a group of half-bloods who wanted to kidnap Minmin, but unfortunately it was a dead man, so he refused to spit out, and he still hasn't found out who is behind it. Thinking of this, Meng Jinghan couldn't help frowning, so he took out the "sad crisp breeze" and its antidote from his sleeve pocket. I took an antidote for myself first, and handed over the rest to Zhuang Minhua, "Minmin, you take these two things first, just in case." ”
Zhuang Minhua was taken aback, "What happened?" ”
Meng Jinghan explained: "Someone is following us, just in case there is an accident, you take it for self-defense." As he spoke, he opened the corners of his blue satin robe, revealing his long legs in red silk pants, took out a dagger from his boots, and handed it to Zhuang Minhua, "Take this too." ”
Zhuang Minhua took it in his hand and saw that the outer sheath of the dagger was inlaid with red, green and blue gemstones, which was very gorgeous. When he pulled it out, the blade of the knife flashed with a cold light. She remembered that a good sword could blow hair and break hair, so she took a hair and blew it on the blade, and it really broke. Immediately overjoyed, holding it in his hand and playing back and forth. But thinking of Meng Jinghan's words, she couldn't help asking, "Do you know who it is?"
Meng Jinghan saw that she was happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and after listening to her question, he replied, "It's okay, I've already asked someone to send it away."
Zhuang Minhua was speechless, since you have let people go to send it away, what are you doing so nervously? But Meng Jinghan can do this, she is quite happy. (To be continued......)
