228 The Great Fire of the Golden Pavilion
Before Lou Yun left Xie Mansion, he received an urgent letter from Lou Ye.
When he saw the news that Ji Qingchen had already set off, he was so angry that he no longer entangled in the court, and went out of Beijing to Chuzhou. On the way, Ji Chenlong's secret letter from Suzhou arrived.
The news in the letter was that Kinkakuji Temple was on fire.
"Not only Kinkaku-ji, but also the temples and Taoist temples on Mount Wutai burned sixteen? Monks and Taoist priests also suffered a lot of casualties? Ji Qingchen looked shocked and sat in the back house of the judge in the border fort of Suzhou.
"Exactly. I heard that this time, in order to welcome the envoy of the country, the temples on Wutai Mountain have repaired the palaces and pavilions
A lot of miscellaneous hands, not optimistic about the incense. As a result, a fire broke out. It was burned from Kinkakuji Temple and burned to the Sankiyokan Temple halfway up the mountainside. The messenger of the lord of the kingdom is now stopped halfway through. I am still waiting for the will of the lord of the country. ”
Ji Chenlong was still bareheaded, wearing a Buddha-crowned hat scarf popular in the Jin Kingdom on his head.
The hat scarf is embroidered with dark blue double black patterns, the top of the black scarf hugs the head, and the horizontal copper buckle is buckled on the back of the head.
Two twist petals were dragged under the towel.
His face is pale and untanned since he was a child, and his eyes are smiling all year round.
"Sister, thanks to you for delaying me for a while, I didn't go to Wutai Mountain with Shu Luyuan."
The smile on his face was a fluke surprise.
Although it is in the border state of Jinguo, the local population is mixed and there are many victims, and Ji Qingchen is still dressed in Han women's clothes.
She combed her head in an ordinary bun, but the northern Han skirt was mixed with some Jurchen styles, which was convenient for riding donkeys and horses.
She wore a dark blue slanted skirt without a pullover, and the skirt was tied with a blue background and white flower ribbon. Shows the curve of the waist.
The sides of the skirt were split into long slits, revealing the light blue silk bottom skirt inside.
She sat upright in a chair with beautiful features. The beautiful figure still gives her a slim look.
This is the official residence of the judge of Tuntian, the border fort of Suzhou.
Because it is equivalent to the military state of the Song Dynasty, the Jurchen Yamen retains the regulations left over from the old Song Dynasty.
Across a small garden in the south is the public hall of Zhizhou, and behind the public hall lives the family members of Zhizhou.
Due north, two sealed doors and the state magistrate hit next door.
When she entered this courtyard, she had to pass by the gate of the general judge's house.
A month ago, when she entered the city with Shu Luyuan's caravan, she saw with her own eyes that across the street was the military yamen of the Baojing army.
This place is separated by the Huai River, and it is far away from the Chuzhou of Louyun.
She smiled wryly. Road:
"I'm glad I didn't give the relics of the Empty Ming Dynasty to Shu Lu and ask him to send it over."
In Kinkakuji Temple, relics and offerings to Buddha are feared to be the result of a fire.
From the time Ji Chenlong entered the house. Cheng Qinian, who had never spoken out, smiled slightly, spread his hands and said:
"What I said is true, Ji Niangzi should believe me this time, right?"
Because of his opening, Ji Qingchen and Ji Chenlong's faces sank.
Ji Chenlong's smile was cold and abnormal.
Her eyes rolled. fell on Cheng Qinian's handsome, although young. But it's so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary on the face.
She couldn't see at all how he hid Ji Chenlong two years ago and actually got on the line with Li Hailan.
This is Ji Chenlong's study, the houses north of the Huai River are all brick and stone structures, blue brick paving, and two double-layer carved windows inlaid on the wall.
In front of the bookcase, there were a few or four chairs for entertaining guests.
Under the light of the long-pole candlelight, she glanced at Ji Chenlong, who was sitting in another chair next to her.
Jiro's expression was cold. Not much has changed.
It seems that he also thinks that this Cheng Qinian will never be the object of Li Hailan's empathy.
She entered the palace as an alternative, maybe this person already knew.
Li Hailan could not have been accused by this person.
Cheng Qinian's appearance is far less handsome than Erlang.
On talent. Although he is an old acquaintance of Huang Qilang, the third son of the Cheng family in the Yellow River Expedition.
But he hasn't heard of what he has done, so naturally he can't be compared with Erlang of the Tang Fang Ji family.
Ji Qingchen and Erlang exchanged a look.
This is the habit of doing business with Erlang in Tangfang.
"Is this fire related to Li Niangniang?"
She spoke suddenly.
Cheng Qinian waited for her here for a month, and persuaded her not to go on the grounds that there was a natural disaster in the Golden Pavilion Temple.
In addition, what he said was the friendship between the Cheng family and the Huang Warehouse.
Because Ji Chenlong also felt that it was strange to enter the incense in the Golden Pavilion Temple this time, she endured it.
She is also hesitating, in case Jin Song goes to war, she will not be able to come back before the wedding date.
Guan Suo was already annoyed by her along the way.
What's more, when she went to the Golden Pavilion Temple, she originally had a secret appointment with the Cheng family.
She will meet the third prince at Cheng's house and inquire about the confrontation between Mongolia and Western Xia on the Northwest Trade Road.
"I don't know Li Niangniang in the palace, I just know Li Sanniang in Tangfang."
Cheng Qinian's answer was perfect.
The candlelight illuminated the figures outside the carved window, and Ji Qingchen knew that Ji Mo, Guan Suo, and Ji Chenlong's henchmen were guarding outside the door.
Ji Longlong chuckled and suddenly said:
"I can now be regarded as the uncle of the dynasty, Li Niangniang's cousin, but I don't know what Li Sanniang is."
“……”
Not only was Cheng Qinian speechless for a long time, but even Ji Qingchen couldn't bear to look at Ji Chenlong's face.
Because of his love for Li Shi'er, the lord of the Jin Kingdom made her one of the nine concubines.
Moreover, because of the excuse of entering the palace without marriage with the same surname, he restored Zheng Hong's old surname and re-let Ji Chenlong take the surname Li.
Ji Chenlong's current name is Li Tie'er.
Ji Qingchen heard the news before entering Suzhou, and she didn't dare to ask in front of Erlang until now.
Of course, Cheng Qinian knew that Li Shi'er was Li Hailan, and he now knew that Ji Chenlong and Li Hailan were engaged.
His calm momentum was finally suppressed, and he smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother Ji, when I discussed entering the palace with Li Sanniang, I really didn't know about the old things, I just heard my father mention Huang Shibo and Ji Niangzi from Tangfang......"
He had known that Li Hailan and Erlang had a marriage contract, and he would not have touted this troublesome matter anyway.
He was so wronged.
Ji Chenlong's expressionless appearance made Cheng Qinian's heart furious.
"Cheng Gongzi is polite, my cousin was taken care of by Cheng Gongzi in the palace, so that she can have today's glory and wealth, and it will be easy for me to be promoted and sealed in the future. I haven't had time to thank Cheng Gongzi for his great kindness......"
Hearing him say this sarcastically, Cheng Qinian already had a bitter face.
Ji Qingchen sighed and took the words.
"Cheng Gongzi is a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect?"
Cheng Qinian was relieved and hurriedly said:
"Under the wall has not been fortunate enough to be included in the door. Patriarch Chongyang enlightened in Fengting, Shaanxi, and I had already admired the immortal traces and entered the Tao sincerely. Now Changchun is a real person traveling all over the world and accepting disciples. In the following, it is only the outer protector of the Songfeng Temple in Lingbi County, Suzhou. ”
It was in Songfeng View that he met Li Hailan. (To be continued......)
