121. Flowing water is ruthless
Zhong Luhuan's face was difficult to see for a moment, her lips trembled so much that she couldn't speak, she looked at Zhiying and Bailizan, as if she had become the meat in someone else's pot, and the faces in front of her seemed to have become hideous.
"Sister, don't be nervous, Mr. is just joking," Zhiying saw that she was so frightened that she was about to lose her breath, and hurriedly said, "How could the second uncle be willing to send you into the tiger's mouth, in my opinion, after Xie Yuchan's death, the conspiracy between the Ye family and the Xie family broke down, and the matter of King Fujing's ascension to the throne must be in vain, otherwise these privately made arrows would not be so easy to be caught by Mr. Shan." β
Before Zhong Luhuan could say anything, Bailizan smacked his lips with a boring expression: "Why did Madam rush to demolish me." β
Zhiying was stunned in confusion, Bailizan squeezed his eyes, glanced to the side, and Zhiying suddenly realized - it turned out that he was scaring Zhong Luhuan with a false trick, hoping that Yang Qiong would say what she just said, so as to win the favor of the daughter of the Zhong family.
Bailizan took Zhong Luhuan as a hostage who was brought back by her! Zhiying couldn't cry or laugh for a while, in front of Zhong Luhuan, and it was difficult to explain, only blamed himself for not mentioning this matter in the letter, and in the past, he half-jokingly and half-seriously instigated everyone to "make meritorious contributions", Bailizan naturally thought that she brought Zhong Luhuan back, which was a move to coerce the Zhong family to serve, plus she asked about Yang Qiong in front of the palace yesterday, Bailizan specially arranged a scene of heroes saving beauty today, so that these two people can have a good start.
Who knew that this partner who was accustomed to tacit understanding, there were even times when the donkey's lips couldn't match the horse's mouth, Bailizan would be wrong, and Zhiying himself robbed if he shouldn't have robbed it, Zhong Luhuan's face eased a lot, but Yang Qiong was still in the dark, and she didn't know what they were looking at.
"Uh, uh...... This ......" Zhiying patted her forehead and smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to pick up the stubble.
The mind of tying up the Zhong family with marriage, not to mention her, even Cui Yi is more or less there, if she can promote the marriage of Zhong Luhuan and Yang Qiong, it is equivalent to locking both parties at the same time, and you can worry a little less when employing people.
Bailizan's arrangement can't be wrong, or he didn't cooperate well, and he regretted it.
Fortunately, Bailizan still had a follow-up, and before the two parties came to their senses, he immediately asked again: "Who was arranged to patrol the city today?" β
"It's me." Yang Qiong replied.
"That's right, Miss Zhong came from afar, and she is not familiar with Yanzhou Mansion, why don't you take Miss Zhong around the city later?" Bailizan used a question, but in fact, it meant to be sure, Yang Qiong didn't know that there was a deception, and her eyes sought Zhiying's opinion, and Zhiying nodded: "It's okay, there are a lot of things to arrange in the house, I really can't spare time to accompany Sister Luhuan, there is General Lao Yang." β
Yang Qiong immediately nodded in response, Zhong Luhuan was surprised and delighted, hindering the reserve of the eldest lady, she did not write her full of urgency on her face, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and she asked embarrassedly: "This ...... Will it get in the way of the general? β
"It's okay," Yang Qiong said calmly, "It's been peaceful in the city recently, but it's just to prevent it from happening, if the girl doesn't dislike it......"
Zhong Luhuan immediately shook her head and waved her hand: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" β
Yang Qiong's eyebrows moved, and she seemed to smell something from her excited tone, but before she could taste it, she was immediately taken over by Bailizan's words, knowing that he must still have a lot of things to discuss with Zhiying, so he got up and said goodbye, Zhong Luhuan forced the joy in her heart and followed along.
After the two left, Bailizan asked, "Didn't Madame want to match Miss Zhong and General Yang?" β
"Yes, but it's not exactly what you think." Zhiying said, explaining Zhong Luhuan's thoughts to him, Bailizan nodded after listening, and said: "In that case, it's half the effort, it's just ......"
Zhiying knew what he was going to say, and sighed: "Sister Cheng is now in the hands of the Beidi people, life and death are uncertain, even if she can be saved in the future, with Sister Cheng's heart, she will never remarry General Yang, the prince and I mean that I don't want him to live alone all his life, Sister Zhong's appearance and family are excellent, maybe General Yang will get along with her for a long time, and he will slowly let go of Sister Cheng." β
Bailizan stroked his beard and sighed: "Yes, it's not a way to go on like this, if it can really be done, it's also a good thing." β
And the two parties on the street in the city, they didn't know what someone was planning behind their backs, Yang Qiong asked someone to bring a docile horse, led by a small soldier, and she also rode a war horse, while leading people to patrol the city, while pointing out the scenery of her city.
Although Yanzhou Mansion is remote and desolate, it was also the capital of a dynasty in history, so the architectural pattern is also atmospheric, and it is not like the humid and rainy south of the Yangtze River, and many buildings from hundreds of years ago still largely retain their original appearance. "This good edge building was built in the period of Emperor Wu of Beihuan, Emperor Wu's sister Princess Jin Luan once threw a hydrangea at the head of the building, and happened to hit the new champion of the street across the horse at that time, and achieved a good relationship of gold and jade, so it was named." Yang Qiong's horsewhip pointed to a three-story building in front of her.
"General Yang is really well-read, and he can even talk about the things of the Beihuan era casually." Zhong Luhuan followed his line of sight to see the Liangyuan Buildingβnow it was a restaurant, and the guests who came and went were dressed luxuriously, and it seemed that even in the most desolate place, there was no shortage of rich people.
Yang Qiong said: "It's not that I'm well-read and well-read, but that in order to attract customers, this Liangyuan Building erected a tablet at the door, and this good story is engraved on the tablet. β
Zhong Luhuan didn't expect him to be so honest, so she really choked up, and quickly pointed to another house in front of her and asked, "What is it over there?" β
Yang Qiong replied: "Over there is the ruins of the imperial palace in the Later Zhou Dynasty. β
The old palace walls have all collapsed, and most of the palace towers are damaged, and the luxury of the year can still be vaguely identified from the ruins and broken walls, Yang Qiong led her through the crowd into the ruins, the palace pool was full of water, and nearly a hundred ducks croaked and swam among the lotus leaves.
Zhong Luhuan: "......"
Yang Qiong explained with a smile: "Madame said that this pond is empty and empty, so she asked people to plant lotus flowers and raise ducks, so that there will be duck eggs and duck meat to eat; There's a bigger pond over there, with fish, red, white, and black, go and see? β
Zhong Luhuan was messy for a while, and nodded reluctantly: "Then let's go and have a look." β
The former imperial garden is gone, the soldiers were ordered to renovate the flower platform, planted mulberry trees, and in three years they can supply the whole city to raise silkworms and reeling silk households to pick, the palace pond is either raising fish or raising ducks, three or five soldiers are carrying baskets to feed, seeing them come over and put down their work in their hands to salute, Yang Qiong waved their hands to let them continue to do things, and took Zhong Luhuan to visit everywhere.
There were a few palace rooms that seemed to have been renovated, Zhong Luhuan looked at it from a distance and asked, "The prince plans to move in?" Or will it move the capital here after the event is completed in the future? β
Yang Qiong glanced at her and said indifferently: "When Mrs. asked someone to rebuild the palace, the prince did ask if he wanted to move over, but Mrs. thought that it should not be too extravagant and wasteful before the event. β
Zhong Luhuan was dumbfounded again, once the palace came to the hands of Zhiying, it was completely subverted the original appearance, the palace where the concubines once lived is now raising pigs and cattle, and the manure of domestic animals can be used for the growth of mulberry trees, alfalfa and other things in the garden, after growing, mulberry trees raise silkworms, alfalfa feed horses, and make the best use of things.
"It's incredible...... The prince actually had to let his sister get it," Zhong Luhuan looked around, full of hard-working soldiers, and felt a lot of emotion, "If you are someone else, you will not be willing." β
Yang Qiong smiled and said: "The prince and his wife are a match made in heaven, others only have envy, but it is impossible to insert it into it." β
He had something to say, and secretly warned this "cousin" not to fight the idea that he shouldn't fight. But what Zhong Luhuan thought and what he thought were not at the same point at all, and he didn't hear the meaning of the warning, but felt that he was hinting at something, so he smiled shyly and asked jokingly: "The general also envy the prince and his sister Mandarin Ducks, and their love is deep and meaningful?" β
Yang Qiong looked at eye level, and the white clouds in the sky were reflected in her eyes: "The prince and his wife are both literate and martial, complement each other, and have a rare deep affection, sharing joys and sorrows, teaching people how not to envy." β
Zhong Luwan smiled and tested him further: "Did the general ever think that one day he could be like them?" β
Yang Qiong smiled self-deprecatingly: "The blessing of Mrs. Wang is not comparable to me." β
Zhong Luwan stepped forward, and her voice was as gentle as water: "The general's words are bad, I heard my sister say that the general inherited the ancestral marksmanship, the martial arts are exquisite, and when he was a teenager, he followed the prince to open up the territory, set the country and the country, and will be able to glorify the eternal and eternal generations. β
"Thank you girl, it's just ......"
Yang Qiong's eyebrows tightened, and a touch of pain appeared in her eyes: "If I can have such blessings in this life, I would rather give up all of them, just in exchange for the rest of my life, fame and fortune, glory and wealth are far less important to me than her peace and well-being, food and clothing are worry-free." β
Zhong Luhuan was shocked when she heard this, and blurted out: "The general already has a crush? β
Yang Qiong didn't say a word. The "Ruyi Langjun" pasted on the back of the head in front of him suddenly became "a famous flower has a master", Zhong Luhuan was devastated, thinking that he had barely seen himself along the way, it turned out that his heart had already belonged, and he couldn't help but feel sad from it, and he didn't want to see the beautiful scenery, so he said that he was tired from the journey for several days, so he was escorted back to the palace.
When he returned to the palace, Bailizan had already left, Zhiying was holding her daughter to catch butterflies in the yard, and when she walked in in a trance, she hurriedly handed Xiao Cui Xian to the nurse to hold, and she greeted her and asked, "Why did you come back so early and didn't go shopping?" β
Zhong Luhuan was lost and aggrieved, but she didn't blame Zhiying, in case she didn't know that Yang Qiong had another love, so she could only prevaricate and say that she was tired, teased Xiao Cui Xian for a while, and went back to the room to rest.
In the next few days, Zhiying and Bailizan created many opportunities for them to meet and contact, but it is a pity that Luohua is deliberately ruthless, and Yang Qiong does not waver at all under such hospitality, as if there are no other women in her eyes except Cheng Fengyi. Zhong Luhuan hit the wall one after another, and became disheartened, Zhiying asked her to approach Yang Qiong again, she lost interest, and played with Xiao Cui Xian in the palace every day, or helped Zhiying do some needlework.
"Just give up? Don't want to marry a peerless general? In the afternoon, Zhiying was spinning yarn in the yard, Zhong Luhuan sat aside and peeled lotus seeds, Zhiying saw that she was listless, so she asked with a smile.
Zhong Luhuan drooped her eyelids and said, "Don't mention it...... There are many good men in the world, and you don't have to marry him. β
Zhiying laughed for a while, slapped her waist with her backhand, and said, "Also, don't worry, watch slowly, there will always be someone who can see the right eye." β
Zhong Luhuan handed the peeled lotus seeds to the maid on the side, washed her hands, sat under the tree in a daze, and said after a while: "Sister, do you recognize the girl in his heart, what kind of person is it?" β
