Chapter 442: Sacrifice to the River God
He waved his hand: "That's it, you go out to play by yourself, there is Fengqing and the sea of clouds, I won't worry about your safety." ”
"Alright! Then forget if you don't go, I'll go out and play by myself. ”
At this time, Feng Qing also came out of the shower inside, and happened to see the two of them turning around very shyly on another occasion: "Side...... Madame, isn't it time to bathe? Slaves and maidservants serve you. ”
"Come on!" Gu Yunshu turned around and pulled off the belt that had not been pulled apart just now.
When she came out of the shower, although it was not early.
Is it just in time to go out to play, so I didn't stay in the inn to eat.
After Mu Qianshan went out, he found Haoyuntian to discuss the next things together.
"Haoyuntian, this period is the most important, we must be careful to watch out for Prince Rong's every move, although I don't dare to take any action for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no moths in the future." Mu Qianshan was worried that Prince Rong would act rashly when he didn't know.
"You can rest assured of this, General Chiyuan is watching in the open, I am watching in the dark, he doesn't dare to act rashly, unless he feels that his strength is big enough to cover the sky with one hand, otherwise, if it reaches the emperor, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around." Haoyuntian didn't take him seriously at all.
"No matter how careful you are, that Ouyang Tingfang I always see that the other concubine always seems to be faintly hostile, and the matter of Taifu must be a big blow to her, so we must take precautions everywhere at this time."
"Okay, I'll pay attention to that woman's every move, but I always feel that Prince Rong and they are probably not so simple, and they have already sent someone to investigate, what is going on? When the time comes, we will know. ”
He had never felt that Prince Rong was such a well-behaved person.
"Prince Rong now has at least General Zhenwei behind him, this is his only ability backer now, if he can't grasp it well, Xiang Taifu will be as unclear as ......"
"I'm afraid it won't be this time, without Taifu, they were already cautious when they acted later, and they estimated that the situation would not be easy again, but I didn't expect that Ye Guifei would not be punished to Xin Zheku so quickly, this is the heaviest blow to them." Mu Qianshan has never taken it lightly, at least there is an emperor in the palace who can be in charge.
But now that they are out of the palace, they can only protect themselves, if they can't even protect themselves, then they can't blame others for taking action against them.
"Don't worry, King Rongding also sent someone to check, but we directly changed the route, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up for a while, and I don't know what kind of plans he will have in the future."
"If that's the case, let's look at what's going on behind it? Now the situation in the imperial court seems to have stabilized on the surface, but in fact it is still turbulent secretly. ”
As a prince, there are too many things that he can't help himself, but there are many things he has to do in advance.
"The prince rest assured, the outside protection has not stopped since he hit the palace, no matter how great General Zhenwei is, in the end he is just a border general, no matter how great his ability is, he can't surpass you, the prince, unless he has other intentions."
……
Outside, Gu Yunshu found Du Yue: "Although it's not early now, I still don't want to eat at the inn, it's better to go out and have fun together, when I came today, there were so many people on the street outside, don't you want to come to a temple fair, if that's the case, wouldn't we catch up with a good time?" ”
Hearing her say this, Du Yue was also happy: "I think the opportunity you said is possible, usually people don't gather like this, Fengxian is not particularly far from Kyoto, the main thing is that there are interesting places here that will inevitably spread to Kyoto." ”
Du Yue is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and she knows a little about things outside even if she is not so familiar.
"Miss, we just got off the carriage, and now we are all sore, according to the slave maid, it is better to rest a little, and it is not too late to go out for a walk tomorrow."
"Hey, it's rare to have this interest, but you can't help but give face to your lady!" Ever since they disguised themselves as ordinary people, the crown prince was the young master, and Concubine Yun was the lady, they had always kept this in mind.
It was still crowded outside, but compared to when they came in the afternoon, there seemed to be more lively things on the street.
Many lion dances are lively in the streets.
Suddenly, there was silence, and there was a wide road in the crowd, and at this moment people in strange costumes came.
Gu Yunshu also stood aside with the flow of people, looking at those who looked like wizards.
I was very curious, but I also remembered it.
"Madam, these people look so strange, they are dressed like this, aren't they afraid of others talking about them?"
"Miss, the slave always feels very infiltrating when she looks at the dress of those people, and she feels that the cold hairs on her back stand up."
As soon as Xiao Cui finished speaking, she saw the crowd that had quieted down and suddenly knelt on the ground in unison.
Gu Yunshu's heart jumped to her throat, and she thought they were recognized.
But when he heard the words that came out of the people's mouths, he could not be calm.
Because they stand here more abruptly, in order not to attract people's eyes, they also squat on the ground and blend in the crowd, and they don't know whether they are kneeling or squatting from a distance.
"The river god blesses, the wind and rain are smooth."
"The river god blesses, the wind and rain are smooth!"
……
It was only when the people in fancy clothes walked through the streets that the people stood up.
At this time, Gu Yunshu grabbed a person next to her and asked, "This lady, what is this team for?" ”
"Girl, seeing you ask like this, I don't think it's a local, this is a ritual to worship the river god that has been passed down from the ages in our county."
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she looked a little flustered, and then waved her hand: "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything......"
The lady seemed to be running away from something.
"Hey...... Auntie, don't leave now, I still haven't finished asking! Gu Yunshu shouted and shouted that the eldest lady got into the crowd and disappeared.
"...... worship the river god? How is this sacrificial method? Gu Yunshu was very excited and curious.
"Du Yue, this is the customs and customs here, right? Worship the river god, is it the first time you have heard of it? When she turned around, she saw Du Yue's face pale, as if she was frightened.
"Du Yue, what's wrong with you, your face doesn't look good, but you're not feeling well?" She asked with concern.
After all, they had all taken a medicated bath before they came out, so now they were comfortable and didn't feel very tired, but she didn't feel very tired after taking a medicated bath, and she wanted to come and ride in a carriage for a whole day, and now it was enough to choke.
"Madam, this sacrifice to the river god is a sacrifice of a living person!" Du Yue seemed a little scared, and a little frightened.
"What? Isn't it a tribute to the god of the river? Why kill people? Gu Yunshu was a little incomprehensible, and even thought that she was just joking.
Du Yue shook her head: "Madam, didn't you see it just now?" When they passed, they carried a chair with a little girl sitting on it. ”
