Chapter 149: The Chase

The carriage slowly walked out of the canyon, up the highlands, and onto the official road between the high mountains, which ran between the rivers.

The forest trees slowly lifted the curtain, and the mountain peaks were beautiful. The water of the stream is clear, the land of Kawado looks fertile, the wheat has been tasseled, and the corn is half a man high. The purple potato blossoms are in full bloom.

In terms of growth, these crops are a good harvest.

A few peasants leisurely walked around the fields.

Yan Wuwu rode a big horse to catch up and said, "Zhu'er, the scenery of Yanshan is very good, a few of you, come down and take a look." There is also Yanshan Lake in front. There are swans. ”

Lin Zhu looked back at Jiu'er Rouyi, and both of them were full of smiles.

Rou Ni also nodded lightly to her, and said, "I know the son, the slaves and maids will come down." ”

After speaking, he shouted to the driver in front of him: "Uncle Wu, stop the car and let's get down and take a walk." ”

Wu Qing, Jin Xiaoguang's guard, who doubled as a coachman, slowly stopped the car.

The mountain peaks are obscured, and the scorching sun is much less powerful, and it is even very cool.

Lin Zhu pulled Jiu'er's finger to the side and said, "Sister Jiu'er, do you look at that flower?" It's Shandandan. It's so pretty, "

On the hillside by the roadside, there are a few eye-catching shandan flowers that are blooming, and the surrounding weeds and flowers have become the background.

Jiu'er looked at it and said, "Zhu'er, it's Ma Lanhua." ”

"Ma Lanhua?"

Lin Zhu was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Shandandan seemed to be also called Ma Lanhua, and the children's story he heard when he was a child was Ma Lanhua.

But it doesn't seem right. She has watched Ma Lanhua's children's drama, and that kind of flower seems to be the snow blue flower next to it.

She thought hard for a while, and finally figured out a little idea.

Shandan flowers should be azaleas, red or kapok.

But since Jiu'er said that Ma Lanhua is Ma Lanhua, it's not a serious thing anyway.

Then he said to himself: "Ma Lanhua Ma Lanhua, I am not afraid of wind and rain, and the hard-working people are talking, please bloom immediately." ”

The tone of the voice is childlike, which is very good.

Jiu'er smiled and squinted her eyes and looked at her and said, "Zhu'er, what kind of allusion is this, it is so smooth." ”

Lin Zhu said, "Sister Jiu'er." There's a story to this passage. I'll tell you. ”

I'm young when I came here. Childlike innocence also overflows from time to time. When I heard Ma Lanhua, I remembered that story, the hard-working and kind Ma Lang, the lazy Dalan. Industrious Xiaolan. Bad bad black-hearted wolf.

And the enchanting Malan flower on the Malan Mountain.

Two women hold hands. Walking on the official road under the high mountain, Lin Zhu's voice was crisp and subdued to tell Jiu'er the story of Ma Lanhua.

Jiu'er listened to it with relish, and forgot to serve Young Master Jin Zhen.

Yan Wuwu also dismounted. He handed the reins to Dabao and walked behind Lin Zhu.

At first, he thought that Lin Zhu would just talk about some mountain village history, monsters, foxes and ghosts.

After listening for a while, he was gradually attracted, walked a few steps, pricked up his ears, and did not talk to Jin Xiaoguang, who was still riding on horseback.

Jin Xiaoguang has good ears, and he can hear Lin Zhu's words while riding on a horse, and he also feels interesting when he listens to it, so he patted the horse's ass and caught up.

The more Lin Zhu spoke, the more fluent he became, and the long-lost picture flashed in his mind like a movie.

The sound of painting is full of emotion.

When it came to the key point, he actually changed his tone, a male voice for a while, a female voice for a while, and a vicious voice for a while.

Hearing this, Jiu'er held her hand for a while, and it was tight and loose.

Seeing Jiu'er listening to it, Lin Zhu became more and more proud.

After such a long time, I can still remember clearly that the head is the Tao, and I admire myself.

After telling a story, I walked through several mountains.

Yan Wuwu thought about it for a while, and said unsatisfied: "Zhu'er, it's over?" ”

Lin Zhu was startled, she thought that only she and Jiu'er were talking while walking, and no one else was paying attention.

Subconsciously stuck out his tongue and said, "Childe, I'm talking about playing, coaxing children." ”

After speaking, the little face was red, and there was no other color.

Yan Wuwu only felt that his heart was tight, and his heart was beating faster. ‘

The handsome face carved in pink turned into pork liver red.

It's not easy to speak: "What kind of child?" Jiu'er is not a child. This ancient scripture speaks well. ”

Nowadays, people call the story the ancient scriptures, which means the things of the past.

This kid is really wrong! Lin Zhu saw Yan Wuwu's red-faced dodgy eyes and unclever speech, and once again concluded that this handsome second-generation official had feelings like first love for him.

That's not a good thing.

Although I have made up my mind, I must find a good male ticket for myself early in this life, but I can't get to this age early, less than fourteen years old, and the age of Ji Lu is not enough.

Besides, as a Lori on the outside and a mature woman on the inside, she knows very well what it means to be the right person.

And in this era, even if Yan Wuwu is sincere to her, Yan Mansion will not allow her sister-in-law to marry a maid as a young lady. Even the side lady can't do it, at best she is a concubine.

Also, the pretentious third lady Yan Qiuyin is now cold to her, eager to eat her alive. She didn't want to get into that kind of trouble.

Considering all these circumstances, her mind spun rapidly.

Although there are already people who are attracted to him at this age, he is still such a good-looking brother who is actually a very manly character.

It's something to be proud of and boast about.

But stay away from this master, and stay away when necessary.

He bowed his head and said nothing, just holding hands with Jiu'er and walking forward shoulder to shoulder.

Yan Wuwu saw that she didn't speak, her neck was flushed, pink and tender, and she turned her face in a panic.

As a general's son-in-law, at such an age, he is not in a hurry, and the old lady Ouyang Mama is in a hurry. So even if Yan Qiuyin watched it closely, he would go through the love of men and women.

But it was only a temporary excitement, and it didn't make him so entangled by that woman.

He didn't understand that it was just such a skinny little vegetable grower. How did it touch the softest place in his heart.

His eyes were a little flustered, he looked back at Jin Xiaoguang behind him, and said loudly in disguise: "Xiaoguang, it's really a tyrannical thing to appreciate such a beautiful scenery." Get off the horse, let's walk slowly. ”

When Jin Xiaoguang heard this, he got off the horse, knocked on Jin Zhen's carriage by the way, and said, "Brother Jin, get off the car and take a walk, the scenery is good." ”

Jin Zhen answered, turned his head and looked at the back of the car again.

Wake up this morning. He had a vague feeling that someone was following. I was a little nervous.

I'm afraid of the group of displaced officers and soldiers.

If he threw himself into the net again, he would not have the ability to save them once.

But he saw several carriages speeding towards him in the distance.

Only then did he put his mind at ease, and those old ministers would never follow them so blatantly.

He got out of the carriage gracefully and walked with Jin Xiaoguang.

I heard a familiar voice behind me: "Brother Xiaoguang." Worry-free brother ....... ”

Jin Xiaoguangyan was taken aback. I don't understand why Sima Mingzhu chased after him.

Especially Jin Xiaoguang even frowned. This time back to Dingyuan. In addition to visiting my parents, the most important thing is to use the forest to draw out Baozhen. And although he is a brother to Jin Zhen, he has always been suspicious of him in his heart. Even if he didn't dare to determine whether he was a royal family of the previous dynasty, he always had a hunch.

So this time when I went home, I didn't tell anyone except Yan Wuwu and Jin Zhen. He also specially told Yan Wuwu to keep quiet.

He glared at Yan Wuwu with a little dissatisfaction, blaming him for his mouth.

Yan Wuwu looked at him inexplicably, he also wanted to know, and he didn't seem to understand.

Sima Mingzhu's carriage slowly stopped in front of Jin Xiaoguang, she got off the car with a smile, looked at Jin Xiaoguang triumphantly and said, "Brother Xiaoguang, I finally caught up with you." You don't know, I'm working day and night. Brother Sanssouci, don't look at me like that, you have to admit that I'm well-informed. Don't stare at my brother, he didn't reveal it, I heard it from my father. I told the queen that I hadn't seen my godmother for a few years and wanted to see her. The queen mother told her father, and his father agreed. Didn't expect that, right? I didn't expect that either. ”

Her voice was full of joy. He giggled.

The corner of his eyes drifted to Jin Zhen, who was standing with a smile on the side, seeing that he was gentle and elegant, he was not alarmed by her arrival.

I didn't expect a weak scholar to have such determination, and her beautiful face turned slightly red.

I understand that it was not revealed by Yan Wuwu.

Jin Xiaoguang retracted his gaze at this time, recovering his usual lukewarmness, Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Mingzhu, you shouldn't have run out secretly, right?" You have also passed the time, how can the queen mother promise you to go out of the palace at will, and those disciplined grandmothers? ”

After saying that, a pair of penetrating eyes stared at her, as if trying to find out the correct answer.

He had no doubt about what Sima Mingzhu said. As the largest vassal state in southern Qin, Dingyuan is in a leading position in terms of economy and military, and two of the three counties, six continents and eighteen counties under its jurisdiction are located on the border, which is the external window of southern Qin and an important pass. Geography matters.

Although the emperor is on guard against his father everywhere, he is very serious in his face, and he is even more fond of him. Because his daughter Princess Mingzhu grew up with him since she was a child, she is interesting to him and intends to fulfill it. As long as the princess said that she wanted to come and see him, she would generally agree.

Maybe Sima Mingzhu chased after him, and it was the emperor's order.

Such an obvious match, the father understood it at a glance. ,、

After careful consideration, his father Jin Kaijia told him about the disadvantages of being the emperor's son-in-law, and the father and son reached a consensus that they had always pretended to be confused, did not find someone to propose, and did not ask the emperor for marriage.

The emperor is not in a hurry.

So Princess Sima Mingzhu hasn't chosen a colt yet.

Jin Xiaoguang felt very uncomfortable, he had something to do when he returned to Dingyuan, and the princess followed, and he had to be responsible for her safety. And a princess follows him home, which also means a bit of a message to the world.

Sima Mingzhu's beautiful eyes were shining, and he only answered the question raised by Jin Xiaoguang in one sentence: "Anyway, my father and the emperor agreed." ”

After speaking, he smiled and said to the personal palace maid Qinglian: "Let's go with us, it's been too long to sit." ”

Qinglian smiled and turned around and instructed the coachman: "You follow slowly, Miss wants to go." ”

The two coachmen are both eunuchs in the palace who are in charge of royal horses, and they have been in the palace since they were children, and they usually don't have much chance to go out. This time, the princess finally came out, and she couldn't see enough of anything. Two pairs of eyes, just look up and down the mountain. Hearing that the princess wanted to go for a walk, the youngest of them jumped out of the carriage and caught butterflies.

Jin Xiaoguang had no choice but to bow his head slightly, letting Sima Mingzhu walk in front.

Yan Wuwu made a grimace at Jin Xiaoguang at this time, and then made a painful posture that he couldn't get rid of.

The purpose of Sima Mingzhu's coming is clear to everyone, and his cousin is being chased like this, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

Jin Xiaoguang spread his hands helplessly and stretched his shoulders.

Even if it is a thousand unwilling, ten thousand reluctant.

Now I can only take it with me.

Lin Zhu and Jiu'er carefully jumped over the trench on the side of the official road, and saw that everyone was gone, so they jumped out and followed behind.

Jiu'er pointed to the front and covered her mouth and whispered, "Zhu'er." This Miss Pearl is really a heroine among women, chasing a man so far away. ”

She knew in her heart that Princess Mingzhu was chasing the young master, and her heart was full of jealousy, but she smiled slightly.

Lin Zhu gave a thumbs up and nodded his head and said, "It's amazing." She is a princess, and all the men in the world are her family's minions, and she chases after her if she wants to. We don't have that much ability. ”

Don't talk about courage, just Sima Mingzhu's carriage and six horses are not something that ordinary people can prepare.

Jiu'er pursed her lips and said, "That might be true." ”

The heart said that if it weren't for the little county lord's birth, such horses and carriages would be able to afford to sit on them.

She was talking to Lin Zhu in her mouth, but her eyes were staring at the young master's back. It's not a good feeling in my heart, although I understand that less is also sacrificing hue for the sake of the overall situation.

But it's a pity that the target is not her.

Jin Zhen walked beside Jin Xiaoguang with elegant steps, the two of them were in love, and you and I started the poem one by one. Yan Wuwu dealt with Sima Mingzhu without a word.

Sima Mingzhu chased after him, and Yan zhòng affected his mood to relax.

He himself was a little annoyed by Yan Qiuyin's chase when he had nothing to do, and he hated the woman who chased after the man as soon as he went out. If this woman is the daughter of an ordinary eunuch, he is likely to say what he means directly. 、

But this woman is a dignified princess, and she has grown up together. It's a bit hard to say.

Sima Mingzhu was extremely excited.

A few days ago, she received a flying pigeon from Young Master Jin Zhen as usual, telling her that she was going to Dingyuan with Jin Xiaoguangyan without worry. also reluctantly attached a sentence "If it is with you to travel hand in hand, it will be satisfied." ”、

He just said it casually, and she put her heart into it.

She released the superb snow pigeon she had specially fed, and began to rack her brains to find a way.

finally found the best time and coaxed the queen mother for several days before she was allowed to leave the palace.

She walked in front with light and joyful steps, her eyes looking at the mountains for a while, and the streams for a while.

Qinglian covered her mouth and just smiled. But I was very worried.

When the princess saw her lover, she was a little exaggerated in her excitement.

This is to be expected. I can understand it.

But as the princess's personal palace maid, the burden on her shoulders is heavy.

Don't say that there is any danger, but the relationship with Young Master Jin Zhen is a headache. The two already have a skin-to-skin relationship, if the matter is revealed. The fate of this fairy-like son is very miserable, and she will be even worse.

But the princess has been fascinated by this young master Jin Zhen. Ignore it.

She can only follow and resign herself to fate. (To be continued......)
