In the north of the inner city, Zhao Mansion, a sturdy man walked into the mansion gate, walked into a courtyard along the corridor, and saw Zhao San riding on a horse, holding a soft bow to shoot targets there.

"The villain meets the Yanai." The sturdy man called.

Zhao San looked back, and immediately threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground, allowing the slave next to him to pick it up. Then he climbed down from his horse and walked towards the pavilion near the clearing, without speaking. But seeing that Zhao San has only been more than a year, his complexion is not so white, and his face and neck have tanned a lot, if he is darker, he will become more and more like his second brother, the ruddy cheeks are not reduced, and his complexion is very good.

Seeing this, the sturdy man followed. After Zhao San sat down and looked up at him, the sturdy man whispered: "Yanai asked the villain to stay near Li Chuyun's house for a few days, and I didn't want to really find a lot of interesting things." ”

Zhao San said: "Come on." ”

The man whispered: "Not long after Yanei left that day, I saw Guo Shao go to the door of Li Chuyun's house, and later in the teahouse at the intersection, he had a private meeting with the Li family's lady. ”

"You read that right?" Zhao San almost stood up when he heard this, and a faint black gas rose on his face.

The man said: "The villain doesn't dare to be mistaken. ”

Zhao San cursed: "This little slut, fake serious, if it falls into the hands of Lao Tzu one day......" He said this, he hurriedly stopped, turned his head left and right, looked back and forth, pulled down his face, and asked, "Say, continue to finish." It's just a private meeting. ”

The man said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there is more than one private meeting. Another day passed, and I saw the maid next to Mrs. Li sneaking out of the door, and I was prepared this time and asked my brother to follow. And guess what? ”

"Guess the bird, say!" Zhao San lowered his voice and scolded. Although there was no one else nearby, he spoke quietly.

The man said: "The slave maid arrived at the Daxiangguo Temple, waited on the street in front of Guo Shao's house, and then asked Guo Shao to enter the teahouse, I don't know what to do." Probably either brought a letter or passed the word, but Guo Shao and the Li family lady did not move in the past two days.

But the villain finally saw the mystery again. Just this morning, a few people from Li Chuyun's mansion went out of the city, all the way west along the post road, near the Datong Temple on the eastern side of Taimuro Mountain, and booked several large rooms in one go......"

Zhao San immediately said: "Most of the Li family's family members want to go out in the spring and the weather is good. These women went to the temple to worship the gods, but they actually wanted to have fun...... The maid with the letter, I'm afraid it is a secret appointment with Guo Shao. ”

"The villain feels the same way."

Zhao San looked at this man and said, "Li Xia'er, you are our old family of Zhao Mansion, if I hadn't said good things to you, you wouldn't know where you are now." ”

The man named Li Xia'er said: "The villain has always been the only one who looks forward to the horse. ”

"Don't talk about this for now." Zhao San admonished.

Li Xia'er said: "The villain understands. ”

Zhao San paced around the pavilion, didn't say anything more, waved his hand and ordered Li Xia'er to go down. At this moment, he heard that his father and brother had come back, so he went in to meet him.

The father and son talked on the phone, and the father talked to Zhao Kuangyin about business. They told their slaves and maids to shun them, but not their brothers. But Zhao San didn't have a military position and didn't know much about everything in the army, so he couldn't talk, so he just listened.

But seeing that there were three fat and strong men sitting on the chairs up and down in this room, young and old, but they all had broad faces and small eyes, and the faces of the sky was round, and they all had double chins, and they looked more similar, and the three of them sat together inexplicably funny. However, they are serious, and they seem to have long been used to it, and they don't think this meeting is anything unusual.

Zhao Hongyin coughed a little, but he still had a smile on his face: "The good things of your brothers may be able to come together, the Wang family of Hebei and the Yin family of Huainan have all agreed to the marriage." ”

Zhao San did not object, only said: "But it is up to my father and brother to decide." ”

Zhao Kuangyin, who was black and strong, said: "The Yin family is in Huainan, you have to remind them, don't get too close to Li Chongjin." ”

Zhao Hongyin nodded and said: "The second brother is right, Li Chongjin has a military position in the forbidden army, but he is out of town, which doesn't seem to be a good thing." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said indifferently: "Not only that, Li Chongjin has offended too many people, especially with the guard Sima Budu, who has a grudge against Guo Shao, which is known to the world." Now Guo Shao took advantage of his absence in Tokyo to quietly clean up the door in the Guards Division, and the people in the Nanya of the Forbidden Army pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even the Privy Council ignored them...... I heard a friend in the court tell me privately that Guo Shao kicked dozens of Li Chongjin's generals to the Huaide army at one time; I'm afraid it's not over yet. In less than half a year, Li Chongjin's forces in the forbidden army are afraid to be cleaned. ”

"Sure enough, it's a person who walks to tea and cool." Zhao Hongyin sighed, "Although Li Chongjin is a little flawed, he is also a veteran of the battle formation, and he can be regarded as a good man...... Ahem. ”

"Father, you still have to pay attention to your body. Why don't you take a leave of absence and recuperate at home for a while. Zhao Kuangyin said busily.

Zhao San also hurriedly persuaded: "The second brother is right, the second brother is here in the front of the palace, and my father can rest assured." ”

Zhao Hongyin waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. ”

At this moment, the slave and maid came to invite them to dinner, and the three strong and fat men got up from their chairs one after another.

……

Guo Shao came home after a busy day, walked by the mirror-like lake for a while, took out a letter written in Juanxiu font from his arms and read it. "You can not only meet in the weaving shop, but also meet again at the inn outside the Datong Temple of Taimur Mountain." The handwriting is really good, just looking at the handwriting has a good feeling, and this kind of beautiful font comes from the hand of the little lady.

He then took out a delicate silk scarf, and such a scene came to his mind: Fu Ermei walked to the staircase with a blushing face, and then turned around and smashed the silk scarf over and fell to the ground.

Guo Shao held a beautifully written letter in one hand and a silk scarf in the other, slowly walking on the stone path by the lake.

At this moment, I saw Jing Niang and Qingxu walking towards this side. Guo Shao put the two things together, folded them carefully, wrapped the letter with a silk scarf, and put them in his arms together.

When Qingxu saw him, he shouted: "It's still good to eat in the palace!" No wonder everyone wants to be emperor. ”

Guo Shao said: "You can talk nonsense in general, but everyone wants to be the emperor, so it's better to stuff it in your stomach." ”

Jing Niang said: "The queen said that she would pay for me to rebuild the Yuzhen Temple, and she would change her name and tell us not to receive ordinary pilgrims anymore." She would send someone to give money every month. ”

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said, "This is also a good thing, and sure enough, the queen has thought it through." You continue to hang the name of the Lord, and Qingxu can also be in the Taoist temple; In this way, in the future, you and Qingxu will be the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple funded by the queen, not the family members in my house...... At least there was a cloth to cover it, so that it didn't look like I was the queen's general, and I was too close. ”

Qingxu suddenly said: "Are you trying to drive me away?" ”

Guo Shao said: "This is not called rushing, if you are willing to 'practice' in this garden, no one will drive you." But your identity is a Taoist priest who lives in Yuzhenguan, and when the queen wants to invite you into the palace, she only needs to send someone to Yuzhenguan. ”

Jing Niang thought so and wanted to leave. But Qingxu didn't go with her, stayed, and whispered: "If I leave, who touches other people's ......"

Guo Shao was embarrassed for a while, and said in a deep voice: "What does it look like is natural, it's not big to touch, don't believe it." ”

Qingxu stared at the single eyelid and the eyes were round: "But today the queen sister said that it would be big if she continued to touch it." ”

'Continue?' Guo Shao, "I just touched it that day, didn't I stop it in time?" You also told the Queen...... Didn't you say it, quietly don't say it? ”

Qingxu's innocent melon seed face was very innocent, and she said: "It seems that she said that she wouldn't tell Master, but she didn't say it." I told Sister Queen what it mattered, she was the one who taught me. ”

"That's it." Guo Shao said helplessly. Qingxu pestered him and said, "Then do you still want to help me?" Guo Shao said: "You ask Jing Niang for help, she has a way." Qingxu looked at him suspiciously. Guo Shao smiled and said, "You see Jing Niang's growth is so tall." Qingxu suddenly realized, and Guo Shao told him again: "Don't say that I told you." ”

Looking at Qingxu's thin back passing between the willow branches, Guo Shao wondered why the queen was playing tricks on this little lady, he really couldn't figure out her thoughts, but it didn't seem to be a big deal, and it didn't hurt.

Guo Shao thought of the invitation of the Li family's lady again, and he decided to go to the appointment. Li Niangzi is afraid that she will not be able to go out once a year, and this time she will go out, most of them just to look forward to meeting herself; It's a little unbearable to let her down...... If she fails to make an appointment this time, I am afraid it will make her sad for a long time.

The day happened to be the end of February, but the holiday was only one day. Guo Shao made some preparations.

The next day, he announced to Han that he would take a day off, because the Odori Temple was still some distance away from Tokyo, and he had to go back and forth in a day, and it might be in a hurry to get to the place. Then the entourage was selected, and Guo Shao asked Luo Mengzi and other personal soldiers to accompany him; and let Jing Niang and one of her subordinates also go out together, just go out together to play. On the south bank of the Yellow River and in the Gyeonggi region, there is good public order, and there are no mountain bandits and thieves. Guo Shao and the others are quite skilled, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Jing Niang suggested: "Send someone to the inn to book a place to stay first, otherwise there may be a lot of people who have been visiting various places in Taimuro Mountain from Tokyo recently, and they will not be able to find a place to stay by then." ”

Guo Shao thought so, so he sent his own soldiers in the house to take the money to the inn near Datong Temple to book three rooms. He lives alone, Jing Niang and her female subordinates live in one room, and Luo Mengzi and others live together.

At the end of the month, Guo Shao and his entourage dressed up in cloth robes and rode horses.

The weather has completely warmed up, and it is a sunny day, and the scenery on the outskirts of the Central Plains is very pleasant. And it rained for several days a while ago, and it was sunny during this time, and sure enough, there were a lot of people upstream along the way, many people traveled with their families, and the post road was full of traffic, which was a grand occasion.
