Chapter 135: Thinking for Yourself
On the fifth day of the ninth month, on the mansion of the eight kings of Yanjing, the lord of You'an County invited the Hou Shizi of Jiangyin to Yanbo Pavilion for a while.
When the congratulatory frame arrived, refreshments had been placed in the pavilion, and behind the brocade screen, the figure of the woman was visible in a trance. In my ears is the sound of her soft and slow twisting, and the strings are cut. Everyone in the north knows that the first beauty in Kyoto is also a silk and bamboo master, and her first-hand piano skills have been perfected.
He paused at his feet, listened intently for a moment, frowned, flicked his sleeve robe, and walked up the stairs. I picked a stone bench at random, and I couldn't bear to be served by forsythia, so I poured my own wine and drank it with my head up.
Hearing the crisp bump sound of the wine bottle, the ancient song of flowing water and clouds was stunned for a beat. The silhouette on the brocade screen shook his head lightly, sighed long, and slowly stopped his tune.
"Brother Runzhi is still chewing peonies like this, and he spoiled my kindness to stroke the piano and have fun with you." The voice fell, and the woman in a goose yellow light gauze had come out from behind the screen.
He tilted his elbow and raised his glass to her. There was a warm smile in his eyes. She was reflected in his eyes, still gorgeous, with a noble and delicate face, three points elegant, seven points gorgeous. More dazzling than the sparkling waves behind you.
She used to call him "Brother Runzhi", and at first glance she was very close. can be compared to the cute person called that person "Brother Shizi", the relatives are distant and close, and it is clear at a glance.
"Something?" If she has nothing to do, she won't call her maid to look for him, not to mention, she met her last time she went back to the mountain temple, and she was publicized by someone with a heart, which made the capital boiling. Since then, she has the intention to avoid it, and he has taken advantage of the situation to grant her wish.
You'an waved Forsythia to stand down and picked the stone bench next to him. Thinking about it left and right, I still think it's better to be frank. They are people who can't be acquainted with each other, and they twist and turn, but they are ruined.
"Brother Runzhi, you went south this time, and when you saw the son, can others be okay?" She is also a wise woman, who does not know the friendship of the person on the other side for herself. It's a pity that her heart was thrown on that person before she even knew it. I can't respond to anyone else. Thinking about it, he is arrogant, and he doesn't disdain her hypocrisy, and make up for it. Now when he came to him and asked about the situation of the son, although it was hurtful, she was worried and couldn't wait. She couldn't think of anything other than him.
He lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, he had expected this, so he didn't care about the cold. "Who is he, you still don't know? When did you hear that he had a bad time? Seeing the deep longing in her eyes, he avoided her gaze and turned to look out of the pavilion.
The joy and worry in You'an's eyes were never for him. Every time I see what she cares about that person, I am still depressed in my heart. just understands that her lovesickness is too bitter, and he has personally experienced the suffering, and he is reluctant to let her go through the same ordeal.
"He has a great reputation in the foothills. On the day of the lecture, the school hall will be full of people. He is highly regarded by the students, and his reputation is comparable to that of the Superintendent. ”
Every time he heard him say something amazing, You'an's eyes became more radiant. As if it should be so, she is also honored.
Knowing that he was well, she followed him down. I just had a question in my heart. After all, she is a woman, and she is such a noble identity, with thin skin, and when she speaks, it is extremely difficult.
"Brother Runzhi heard that Lord Zhou returned to Beijing earlier, and when he entered the palace on behalf of the prince to ask for peace, he asked for a pair of Dongzhu from Zhaoyi's mother. The prince wants this girl's things, but what is he doing? ”
You'an's expression flickered a little, her delicate face was calm, and her palms were already sweating. She was hoping for a definite letter, which was bad news, and although she must have been sad, it was better than thinking about it all day, and almost not tossing herself into hysteria.
It's bad news, but it's just worse. The man was very polite to any woman, and he was extremely polite. It is said that the servants who serve close in the palace of the state prince, if they have any thoughts of dividing themselves, they will be handed over to the steward to kill them. He was so ruthless that many nobles in Yanjing looked forward to one day entering the gate wall of the Guogong Mansion. However, for many years, he has ignored it, like a heart, and he can't cover it at all.
It is especially rare that she can rely on a friendship when she was a child, and she has been following him for so many years, and she has not annoyed him. Where do you dare to portrait him, he often remembers her good. When he was away, if he could remember for a moment that there was such a person as her, who had been staying in the capital and waiting for his return, she would be very happy.
Hearing the anxiety in her words, a white and immature face suddenly flashed in front of He Frame's eyes. Dongzhu's matter, he didn't know beforehand. can hear You'an mention it, the first thought that popped up was actually thinking of the girl from the Jiang family.
You'an made a wooden face, and immediately noticed the suspicion in his eyes, and his heart ached. Sure enough, she guessed correctly, the bead is afraid that the pearl has an owner...... Who could make his heart harder than a stubborn stone so easily shaken? Since I first met him, it has been eight years. For eight years, she kept the memories related to him, and every cent of it was cherished. With such affection, he couldn't leave Beijing for a while, and something happened!
He Jian was weighing in his heart, that person treated the seven girls of the Jiang family differently, and how sincere he was. Or maybe he set up a puzzle and used the Jiang family to have other schemes. Out of the corner of his eye, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of You'an's face, He Frame sighed in his heart, picked up the wine jug, and drank a full glass.
"Who have you made him? If he has an accident, why wait until after leaving Beijing? ”
There were a lot of strange things, especially when the man mentioned the election. The girl of the Jiang family entered Beijing as an alternative, and what was the connection with him to serve Prince Zhou? Since he has not yet figured out the clue, You'an's worry is groundless, so he has to worry about it for the time being.
"But that Dongzhu ......" Although what he said was reasonable, she was not sure in her heart, and she grabbed Dongzhu and insisted on it.
He Frame chuckled and pushed a plate of four-squared preserved fruits on the table to her. "Aren't you very clever on weekdays? How did you forget someone? Do you remember the last time Gongzi Danyang, he asked Zhaoyi Niangniang for a hand? Didn't I take the girl's things that time, and I gave it to Gongzi Dan to coax the pet Ji to play. Where is the past, and then there is Dongzhu, what is so rare? ”
You'an's originally sad complexion has only improved slightly. It's just that the thick color between the eyebrows is still hovering, and the clouds are not dispersed. "I've thought about it before, but for some reason, I always feel that this time is unusual. Even day and night, I dreamed of unlucky dry wells, white flags, and old trees on the edge of cliffs. "The more I described, the more scared I became. Rubbing the towel with both hands, a cold sweat broke out behind his back.
Seeing her with her own eyes is just for a pair of Dongzhu, she is so frightened. His expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry with the girl of the Jiang family.
"If you really can't rest assured, let me find Gongzi Dan another day to investigate, and then the truth will come out."
After hearing his words, she seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and the big stone in her heart sank to the ground. Hurriedly thanked him gratefully.
Forsythia sent the prince to the door of the moon cave, and when he came back, he saw his own county lord staring at the lotus pond in a daze. Standing silently behind her, she waited for about two quarters of an hour, and secretly raised her eyes to take a look, only to find that the county lord seemed to be an old monk in a stable position, and there was no sign of relaxation on his incomparably beautiful face. Forsythia was startled, and suddenly it suddenly dawned that the master was too heavy, even if he saw the prince, he couldn't turn around for a while.
"County Lord, why don't you let yourself breathe a sigh of relief at this time, the prince of the Ming Dynasty has given you a word, and it's not too late to think about it."
You'an looked at the embankment on the other side and slowly deflected his stiff neck. "No, you can't just tie your hands and wait dryly. He will have a crown ceremony next year, and the wedding is not far away. If you don't plan early, if you miss it, it will be a lifelong regret. This matter is naturally important, and it is even more important, but it is the one who asked his father to come to the Gu family to propose marriage......"
Thinking of the eighth prince now, he is ambiguous, and he is watching the battle between several sons openly and secretly. refused to be so early, so he married the Gu family. The young peace of mind is getting more and more disturbed. No matter how unwilling he is, he is helpless in the end, and he adds another matter to his heart.
