Wang Dongqing's voice fell, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, people had already entered the hall, and they saw Bai Zhi standing there awkwardly, seemingly trying to avoid it, but he didn't know where to go.

Wang Dongqing didn't expect that there were other people in the house, so he was stunned for a moment, put down the curtain and wanted to go out. Seeing this, Mama Li hurriedly spoke up, thinking that this was a rare coincidence, just in time for the two of them to meet.

"Hey, Holly, you'll wait!"

Wang Dongqing listened to his mother's call to himself, subconsciously stopped, and only heard Mama Li continue: "You come in, there are no outsiders in this house, do you remember a few girls around the county lord, this is Miss Bai Zhi." You two used to play together when you were kids. ”

When Mama Li said this, Bai Zhi felt that she was a little pretentious, she had served by the county lord's side for a long time, and even she raised her identity too high. Although they rarely see foreign men, but after all, they are not everyone's ladies, do they still have to avoid when serving their masters, so how to pass the word to those little guys.

What's more, what Mama Li said is right, this Wang Dongqing often followed Mama Li when she was young, and she played with them for a while, which can be regarded as old acquaintances. It's just that Wang Dongqing in his memory is always very naughty, digging bird eggs on trees, digging insects in the dirt and scaring people, so he didn't treat him very well when he was a child. Bai Zhi raised her eyes and looked again, Wang Dongqing, who was standing at the door with her head bowed through the bamboo curtain, didn't understand when the naughty bag when she was a child became so polite now?

"Mama, it's time for me to go back too, the county lord is still waiting for my news." Seeing Wang Dongqing standing outside cramped and uneasy, Bai Zhi also felt awkward, so she took the opportunity to leave.

"Hey, Bai Zhi, you wait first."

Mama Li pulled Bai Zhi's sleeve with one hand, and shouted out the door: "You rabbit cub, what are you rubbing when I let you in, I have something to explain to you." ”

Wang Dongqing didn't dare to hesitate when he heard this, he lifted the curtain and entered the house, Bai Zhi saw this and hurriedly turned sideways and saluted Wang Dongqing, Wang Dongqing was not slacking, and bowed to Bai Zhi.

"It's me who is reckless, and please don't be surprised by Miss Bai Zhi."

"Where, I'm bothering."

Wang Dongqing raised his head when he heard this, and glanced at Bai Zhi. I saw that the person in front of me was of medium height, slender figure, wearing a small coat with a tooth-white plain makeup, with a goose-yellow skirt, Ying Ying stood there weakly, but her face was calm and calm, giving people a sense of atmosphere and dignity.

Angelica Angelica has fair skin, although the facial features are not very good, but they are also long, and Angelica Angelica has a graceful temperament. Wang Dongqing saw Bai Zhi's apricot eyes looking at him, and suddenly felt embarrassed, and immediately turned his gaze away, but he still had the picture of the red and glamorous lips slightly raised in his mind.

When Wang Dongqing looked at Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi was also looking at Wang Dongqing, a tall young man, with a slender body, dressed in cyan clothes, looking tall and very energetic. There are no exaggerated muscle protrusions under the shirt, but it can also be seen that it is not a weak scholar who can't pick up his shoulders and can't lift his hands, but gives people a sense of stability and reliability.

Maybe it's because he often runs outside, the boy's complexion is a little dark, and under the neatly tied hair is ordinary facial features, but it's not ugly, in one sentence to describe it, it's more durable.

Bai Zhi's evaluation of Wang Dongqing's appearance was really because she followed Fang Yage's side, and the men she had seen were limited, and they were either rich or expensive. These men are either very outstanding, or they have an elegant temperament, and they are really not close to either, and there is also the foil of clothes, in fact, this Wang Dongqing is already very good in the eyes of others.

"Holly, today's begging festival, the county lord will go out, you will go with the guards in a while, you must pay attention to the safety of the county lord, you can't make a mistake, do you hear?"

Wang Dongqing is no longer a child, although he can't be in charge at the age of seventeen, he also has some ability under Wang Fu's intentional training, and he is calm and shrewd. Hearing his mother's orders, Wang Dongqing hesitated a little, this county lord naturally had an escort to follow when he traveled, so what did he do?

"Mother, the county lord must be protected by guards when he travels, it's not that I don't want to make a difference, I'm afraid I won't be able to help......"

"I know there are guards, but the guards are not careful people who wield knives and guns every day, and I don't let you fight with one enemy and one hundred, you just follow the guards, pay more attention to the safety of the county lord, and many people have more strength. There are also Bai Zhi and Banxia, they also have to follow, today is lively outside, you also have to keep a snack, be sure to bring everyone back safely. ”

Mama Li glanced at her son, thinking that she was really a dull boy, Mama Li's arrangement was actually selfish, on the one hand, it was to let Wang Dongqing take care of it, and on the other hand, it was also to give her son a chance to create a zào, so that he and Bai Zhi would have time to get in touch, and the buildings near the water would be the first to get the moon.

"Okay, I know you're not worried about the county lord, I'll follow the guards when I turn around, but did you say hello to the county lord in advance about this?"

"It's up to you to say that!"

While slanting at his son, he took Bai Zhi's hand and said, "Bai Zhi, you wait for me, I'll pack up and go with you to see the county lord." ”

"Okay, I'll serve Mama and freshen up." As he spoke, he followed Mama Li into the inner room, leaving Wang Dongqing alone in the hall.

Wang Dongqing was not a stupid person, but seeing that her mother treated Bai Zhi so enthusiastically, she also asked him to go out tonight and take care of the county lord and girls...... Wang Dongqing felt that this matter didn't seem to be so simple, but he couldn't say why.

……

In the evening, Fang Yage bathed and changed his clothes, and went to Qifeng Yuan to report the matter to Jin Rou. Jin Rou has never liked to go out, but she is not worried that Fang Yage will go out alone, so she has to pack up and accompany her daughter.

Seeing this, Fang Yage could only coax Jin Rou and say that she was just bored, and she took the maids and guards out for a walk, and nothing happened. After that, she promised to take Mama Tan with her, but Jin Rou was relieved and did not insist on accompanying her daughter.

Fang Yage said goodbye to Jin Rou and took the girl from Yahe Garden, Mama Tan and Wang Dongqing, who was temporarily stuffed over, out of the door. It was expected that there would be a lot of people on the street today, and it would be difficult to pass if you took the county lord-grade Babao Huagai car, so Fang Yage only asked people to prepare two carriages with cyan curtains. She took Mama Tan, Angelica Bai, and Shisu to take one by herself, and the rest of Banxia, Zhuang Jie, Mugwort Ye, and Licorice took one. Zhuang Kai and An Yinhuo took more than a dozen people to escort the carriage, and the group marched towards the south of the city.

Every year, the begging festival is the most lively in the south of the city, because there are already many shops here, and today's shops are changing their tricks to solicit business. Larger shops will build a good magpie bridge, decorate melons and fruits for people to enjoy, and some will invite people to sing and perform to help the fun. Therefore, whether it is the common people who watch the bustle, or the merchants who sell flowers, snacks, fruits, silk threads and other small things that suit the occasion, they all gather in the south of the city.

In addition, there are two major events that attract people the most in the south of the city. One of them is the ingenuity meeting of Yuwang Mansion, which receives all the official ladies, and ordinary people cannot enter. However, it is worth mentioning that on the same day, Yuwangfu will also hold a poetry and wine party in the same garden, and famous literati and scholars and aristocratic sons in the capital will basically be invited to participate.

On the one hand, everyone is beautiful, on the other hand, there are aristocratic sons, after the seventh day of July every year, there will be countless stories of talented and beautiful women tying the knot. Some people even used their imagination to rely on the words of insiders to make up a joke about what happened at the ingenious meeting and perform it outside. Therefore, this ingenuity meeting has naturally become the focus of attention of ordinary people.

In addition to the ingenuity meeting, it is the most attractive item of worshipping the Weaver Girl prepared by Tianjinfang. This day Jin Fang is the most famous silk village and embroidery building in the capital, the cloth sold is luxurious and beautiful, worth a thousand gold, the embroidery girls are all skilled, the clothes made are chic, so they are very popular with famous ladies, rich women's families, and the business is very prosperous.

Every year on the Qiqiao Festival, Tianjin Fang will build a colorful bridge in front of its own shop, set up tables and various offerings, for everyone to worship the Weaver Girl, begging for wisdom and skill. At the same time, some spare tables will be set up so that people can offer their own tributes on the table. Therefore, this Tianjin Fang has also become the favorite place for ordinary people to go, and every year it will be crowded with people in front of Tianjin Fang.

……

When Fang Yage and his entourage arrived at the periphery of the south of the city, they saw a crowd of people, men, women and children, dressed up in new clothes, and rushed towards the inner street. Zhuang Kai was responsible for leading the way in front, and when he saw this situation, he asked everyone to pause, turned their horses' heads and came to Fang Yage's car, and asked Fang Yage for instructions.

"County Lord, there are a lot of people in front, but we want to get off?"

Zhuang Kai didn't know where Fang Yage was going this time, but he guessed that since the county lord ordered him to face the south of the city, he should want to experience the lively atmosphere of the festival in the south of the city. However, there were too many people in front of him, and the carriage was not easy to pass, so he was likely to be trapped and unable to move when he was moving forward, so he asked Fang Yage if he wanted to get out of the car and walk.

Fang Yage thought for a while and replied, "The ingenuity meeting held by King Yu's Mansion shouldn't be too far from here, you go and inquire, is there any other way to get there directly?" ”

Zhuang Kai listened to this, and his heart turned, it turned out that the county lord wanted to go to the Ingenuity Club, so he quickly turned his horse's head and went to the surrounding shops to inquire. After this inquiry, I learned that in order to facilitate the arrival of guests, Yuwang's Mansion actually sent officers and soldiers to stop an entire street, not allowing the shops in the street to open, nor allowing ordinary people to enter, but sent a steward to answer at the entrance. Guests' carriages can enter the garden directly without colliding with the crowds.

Fang Yage frowned when he heard the return, and dared to send officers and soldiers to directly close the streets, not allowing ordinary people to walk, such a thing would be taken out to make a big deal if he was not careful, but King Yu was not afraid at all...... And after all these years, I have not heard anyone dispute this.

Fang Yage had a deeper understanding of King Yu's power at this moment, and his heart felt a little heavy. The Fang family was obviously involved in the events back then, and Fang Yuxuan's mother was King Yu's daughter Jing Ran, so what role did King Yu play in it?

She only knew that Jin Yu was plotting to usurp the throne with the support of Shi Lekang, and the Fang family was an insider and an assistant. After Jin Yu became emperor, the Jing family did not seem to be suppressed, so it seems that the Jing family was also involved? Fang Yage came to participate in this ingenuity meeting today with the intention of being tempted, she wanted to see how deep the water of this Jing family was.
