112. Royal Gardens
In the afternoon of the next day, Zheng Xian'er, who had basically negotiated the embroidery business, was in a good mood.
He came out of the restaurant with the owners of the embroidery workshops, but found that the carriage of the Adorned Pavilion was gone, and only an oil-walled cart with a hanging curtain was parked at the door.
Zheng Xian'er was surprised, the coachman had raised his head and laughed: "Grandma, I have been waiting for you for a while!" β
It's Zhong'er.
Shopkeeper Cheng smiled: "Let's go, the owner is there, there is me in the store!" β
Zheng Xian'er turned around and said "unaccompanied" to the guest, lifted the corner of her skirt and ran over quickly.
Lou Que in the car was frightened, and hurriedly jumped out of the car to intercept her, and hugged her: "I'm going to be a mother, why are you so reckless?" β
Zheng Xian'er replied to him with a string of cheerful laughter.
Lou Que got in the car and put Zheng Xian'er on the thick soft cushion and smiled: "Are you happy?" It seems that there is no loss in talking about business today! β
Zheng Xian'er smiled proudly, still hanging around his neck, refusing to let go.
Lou Que had to hug her again, hugged her and turned around and sat down, letting Zheng Xian'er lie on his chest.
Zheng Xian'er was very satisfied with his reaction, and took a sip on his neck with a grin.
Lou Que sighed with a smile: "I have to thank the owners of those embroidery workshops." β
Zheng Xian'er was puzzled.
Lou Que laughed: "You pit them outside, and when you come back, you will be in a good mood to give me benefits, shouldn't I thank them well?" It would be nice if someone sent it to the door every day and was cheated by you! β
Zheng Xian'er nodded seriously at first, and then laughed again: "Lou Gongzi, you are not kind!" β
"I remember how kind I used to be," Lou Que muttered, "before I met you." β
"So, you have become what you are now, it's all my education!" Zheng Xian'er is not modest at all.
Lou Que nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, it is your credit." β
Zheng Xian'er propped herself up and sat up: "So, I'm your master?" So when will you tie me up? β
"Evening." Lou Que replied casually.
Zheng Xian'er was stunned for a moment, then slowly squinted her eyes and showed a wicked smile: "I, I want it now!" β
Lou Que was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly reached out to protect her waist, so he couldn't take care of himself for a while, and he was accidentally pressed down firmly.
Zheng Xian'er laughed twice "hehe", triumphant: "Champion Lang, you have to be obedient!" β
Lou Que grabbed her hand in a panic: "Xian'er, don't make trouble!" Bumps in the car, don't mess around! β
Zheng Xian'er pursed her lips disdainfully: "What kind of upright gentleman to pretend!" It's like you've never 'messed around' in the car! β
Lou Que couldn't cry or laugh, but he still insisted on helping Zheng Xian'er up and pressing it on the mat: "Sit well!" β
Zheng Xian'er blinked and looked at him pitifully: "You don't like me anymore!" β
Lou Que learned from her, and looked at her pitifully: "Obviously you don't like me anymore!" You know that I don't dare to mess around because I'm worried about the child, but you want to tease me on purposeβwait until you settle down at night and see how I clean you up! β
Zheng Xian'er shook her head and looked like she was underwhelmed: "It's not certain who will clean up who!" β
was so angry that Lou Que couldn't help but pounce on her face.
In the end, of course, I couldn't do it, but not only because I was reluctant, but also because I was scared.
"Just now...... What's going on? Lou Que cautiously raised his hand, looking sluggish.
Zheng Xian'er looked at him funny.
Lou Que was anxious: "Don't laugh!" Do you feel ......?"
He squatted down and looked at Zheng Xian'er's belly, which looked even more round because she was sitting.
- He remembered that his hand was in that position just now, and suddenly his palm seemed to be flicked by something, soft and moving!
There must be something wrong, but at this time, Lou Que patiently looked at the old man for a long time, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
In the end, Zheng Xian'er couldn't bear it, and lifted him up with a smile: "Look at you scared like that!" I thought you were so bold! You dare to do it to me, what's wrong with my child venting his anger for me? β
"That's ...... The child is moving?! Lou Que was still stunned and couldn't come back to his senses.
Zheng Xian'er stretched out her hand and twisted two handfuls on his face: "This is kicking you!" If you are told to bully me, I will be protected from now on! β
"I didn't bully you." Lou Que finished speaking aggrievedly and pursed the corners of his lips.
Zheng Xian'er was proud: "Then I don't care!" Anyway, someone thinks you're bullying me! β
Lou Que sat in a daze for a long time, and his eyes slowly turned red.
"Hey!" Zheng Xian'er was taken aback, "Your skin is so thin?" Cry when you are wronged like this? β
Lou Que stretched out his hand sullenly, pulled Zheng Xian'er over, and pressed it to his chest.
Zheng Xian'er struggled to push him away: "Hey, what the hell are you doing!" I didn't cry, you cried yourself! What are you doing with my face pressed against your chest? β
Lou Que's sadness, joy, regret and longing were all disturbed by her two sentences.
Zheng Xian'er broke free, pulled her crumpled clothes, and pouted angrily.
Lou Que looked at her with a blank eye: "Your words don't count!" β
"What did I say?" Zheng Xian'er was puzzled.
Lou Que didn't speak, and explained with practical actions.
Zheng Xian'er lowered her head and looked at the guy who was lying on her chest to take advantage, and was stunned.
Not really, right?
This person, just like that?!
Zheng Xian'er began to carefully consider the importance and necessity of changing men for the one hundred and first time.
At this time, Lou Que suddenly opened his mouth sullenly: "Xian'er, what if...... I can't give you a name until your child is born......"
His voice was too low to be heard.
Zheng Xian'er was stunned: "Status? What's that? Why do you think I need that? β
Lou Que slowly raised his head: "You really don't care?" β
Zheng Xian'er ignored him and pulled her clothes again.
The placket didn't get dirty, so the man didn't cry at all! He's just looking for an excuse to take advantage of her!
Zheng Xian'er despises this kind of deceptive behavior.
Lou Que was still staring at her.
Zheng Xian'er was puzzled: "What do you want to say?" β
Lou Que hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "In the imperial court, some things are not as easy as I expected before, so I may have some trouble in the next period of time." β
"Is it dangerous?" Zheng Xian'er was taken aback.
Lou Que shook his head: "It's not dangerous, it's just ...... You and your children are afraid that you will have to suffer a few more days of grievances. β
Zheng Xian'er was relieved when she heard this.
Grievance? She has lived so much, there are really not many things that can make her feel wronged!
The so-called "reputation" is something she has never pursued, so how can she talk about grievances or grievances? From another point of view, she still thinks that fame is just a shackle!
Because Zheng Xian'er didn't care, this topic that seemed to be very heavy was lifted so lightly.
It was only at this time that Zheng Xian'er finally discovered that the route taken by the carriage was a little unfamiliar.
"Where are we going?" She asked, stunned.
Lou Que immediately laughed: "I thought you wouldn't find out until you got off the bus!" β
Zheng Xian'er sneered: "Even if I can't find out, you don't have the ability to pull me to sell!" β
Lou Que was helpless: "Where am I willing to sell you?" Now I'm trembling every day like walking on thin ice, for fear that you will sell me if you are unhappy for a while! β
Zheng Xian'er was overjoyed when she heard this: "Sold you?" That's a great idea! I've heard that a lot of people are thinking about you now, so I guess you can sell it for a lot of money, right? β
Lou Que collapsed his face and made a heartbroken expression: "Sell me, how can you be willing to do it?" I'm so good! β
Zheng Xian'er immediately continued: "Yes, you are so good, so you can live in strange goods!" β
Lou Que thought about it seriously and gave her a suggestion very sincerely: "I think I should be worthy of your collection." β
Zheng Xian'er was amused by his serious appearance: "Okay." So where are you taking me with my collection? β
"I want to sell it. You'll know when you arrive! "Lou Que is mysterious and authentic.
Zheng Xian'er lifted the curtain and looked out, making sure that this road was something she had never walked before.
So, is this guy going to take her out to play?
Not to mention, she really hasn't had a good visit since she entered Beijing! It is said that the scenery in the capital is prosperous, and there are scenery everywhere, I don't know where Lou Que wants to take her?
Zheng Xian'er looked up at Lou Que's smile, and then squinted her eyes and smiled.
The carriage went unhurried for a whole afternoon.
When she finally heard a "arrived", Zheng Xian'er lifted the curtain, and as far as her eyes could see, there was an endless line of lights.
Outside the car, an unfamiliar male voice said, "My lord, the craftsman of Xichi is already waiting here." β
Zheng Xian'er was startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Lou Que.
Lou Que smiled at her, pushed the car door, and carefully hugged her down: "You try to walk a few steps first, are your legs sore?" β
Zheng Xian'er took two steps as she said, and shook her head with a smile: "It's not sour." I'm not that delicate yet. β
Lou Que let go of her hand with some relief, looked up at the man standing in front of the car and smiled, "No need to be polite." Are you the overseer of this place? β
The man bowed down and replied "yes", accidentally caught a glimpse of Zheng Xian'er out of the corner of his eye, so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head again, bowed and said: "The ships in the temples have been built according to the ritual, but it is getting late today, I am afraid it is inconvenient to inspect ......"
Lou Que said with a smile: "I didn't plan to mobilize the people tonight. You tell the craftsmen to take a break and send only one or two people to walk around with us. β
The other party reluctantly agreed, beckoned two men who looked very honest, and told them to serve them well, and then bowed and retreated.
When Lou Que looked back for Zheng Xian'er, he found that she had already walked to the side of the road.
Next to the road is the pond water, and the thousands of Chinese lights in the water are flickering, like a fairyland.
Zheng Xian'er, who was standing on the edge of the pond, was fluttering in her clothes, looking at the railing with a stunned expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lou Que looked at the silhouette and stood stunned for a long time.
For a moment, there was an inexplicable panic in his heart, always feeling that she would become an immortal in the next moment and leave him.
"There are beautiful women in the north, who are independent and legacy." Lou Que groaned abruptly and walked over slowly.
Even if she is really an immortal, at least she still has to accompany him in this life, right?
As he got closer, the "immortal" turned around, his face still sad and melancholy: "With so many lights, how much money do you have to burn in one night!" β
Lou Que's footsteps staggered.
Come on, the "immortal" fell to the mortal dust, and it turned out to be a vulgar and vulgar philistine.
However, the appearance of this little wealth fan made him more comfortable than the fairy spirit just now!
Lou Que immediately accepted the reality of "I am also a layman", and walked over and hugged her with a smile: "Isn't it great to burn other people's money and feed our eyes?" β
Zheng Xian'er thought for a while and nodded seriously: "What you said makes sense. I don't know which fool is willing to spend so much money to light these thousands of lamps for us to see. β
The two men who followed behind him lowered their heads and retreated one after another.
They seem to have heard something rebellious, and they won't be killed, right?!
Lou Que patted Zheng Xian'er's hand lightly and said with a smile: "This is a royal garden, and it is naturally the emperor's money to burn." β
"Oh, it turned out to be the emperor's one-wronged boss!" Zheng Xian'er smiled and sighed.
Lou Que led her into a small pavilion, ordered someone to untie a small boat, and helped Zheng Xian'er to sit down carefully.
The two men who followed acted as the boatmen, and with a slight movement of the wood pulp, the boat left the shore leisurely.
The reflection of the light and starlight was shattered by the oars, and all that could be seen was a golden light.
Zheng Xian'er couldn't help but sigh: "If such a large piece is gold, how much money must there be!" β
Lou Que coughed twice and smiled: "Xian'er, you shouldn't just look at the surface when looking at things. The ponds, the pavilions, the boats, the lamps of this garden...... Taken together, the value may not be as large as that of such a large piece of gold. β
"So worth it?!" Zheng Xian'er exclaimed.
Lou Que didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Zheng Xian'er didn't say anything more. She leaned on Louque's shoulder, and began to quietly admire the starlight, the pavilion, the pond, the lights, and the boats that passed by from time to time.
Last fall, she also took a night boat trip with Lou Que. But the state of mind at this time is very different from that time.
At that time, I knew that he was going to travel far away, and there were still some sorrows in my heart, but now there is only stability and peace left. In addition, now that the affairs of the two of them are known to the world, there is no need to hide and hide people's eyes and ears, so my heart is relaxed, and I feel a lot more open when I look at the light and water of this day.
That's nice.
Lou Que saw that Zheng Xian'er was happy, so he explained to her: "The name of this garden is 'West Pond', the whole garden is built on the water, and the whole pond is a garden. This is a royal attraction that ordinary people can't enter. β
"Then how did you get in?" Zheng Xian'er looked up at him.
Lou Que said with a smile: "This year in Duanyang, the emperor wants to bring everyone from the clan here to watch the dragon boat race, and ordered me to come to inspect the situation of the dragon boat supervision." β
"Oh-" Zheng Xian'er suddenly realized, "So you pretended to be public and took me here to watch the scenery and play?" β
"You can't say that," Lou Que said with a sense of matter, "I came here to watch and play, but also to experience whether the garden is designed comfortably for the emperor first, this is our errand." β
Zheng Xian'er raised her hand and scratched the tip of his nose: "Clever words!" It's your errand, not mine! If you brought me here, it's a fake public benefit! β
Lou Que smiled and shook his head: "You are really wrong about this." When the emperor sent me this task, I said that I had always been used to sleeping in the open air, and I didn't know what it meant to be 'comfortable'. As a result, guess what the emperor said? He said, 'If you don't understand yourself, you can take your woman there, don't you think about this way?!' ββ
"So you brought me here?" Zheng Xian'er's eyes widened.
Lou Que put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile: "Otherwise? I have only one woman, and the emperor ordered me to bring my woman here, so I have to work hard for you! This time you are also a 'chincha', remember to have a chincha look, don't just mention money. β
"Oh." Zheng Xian'er agreed sullenly, and didn't say anything again for a long time.
Lou Que was surprised: "Why don't you speak?" β
Zheng Xian'er reached out to the outside of the boat and played with the pond water, and said in a muffled voice: "You don't allow me to withdraw money, so I have to stop talking." β
"You won't talk if you don't let you withdraw money?" Lou Que couldn't cry or laugh, "Do you only have money in your eyes?" β
Zheng Xian'er was confident: "Of course! β
Lou Que was helpless: "Then you can say it." β
Zheng Xian'er immediately came to her senses: "You said that this garden is so valuable, in addition to pavilions and pond water dragon boats, there are many things to be bought, right?" For example, veils, curtains, candles, lamp oil, and a lot of rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables are used when living in people......"
"You want to do royal business?!" Lou Que was a little surprised.
Zheng Xian'er nodded: "If you can make money, why don't you do it?" β
Lou Que thought for a while, and smiled: "Xichi only has the Duanyang Festival and the next two or three months every year, and I haven't understood the comprador yet, so it shouldn't be easy to do." If you are interested, I will help you introduce a few imperial merchants in the future, you can learn slowly, and you don't have to rush for a while. β
"Really?" Zheng Xian'er was overjoyed.
Lou Que looked at her so carried away, and was a little helpless for a while.
Obviously, she has no worries about food and clothing, and she obviously relies on him to have rich clothes and food, but this woman never seems to have thought of living in the inner house in An'an?
What a noisy character!
I hope that after the birth of the child, she can stop for a while, otherwise will she really be left to do the royal business?
That's a ......
Lou Que smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, the boat suddenly shook violently, and a sound of water sounded behind it.
Lou Que looked back in amazement, only to find that the two men who rowed the boat were gone.
"Not good!" Lou Que was shocked.
Zheng Xian'er also realized that something was wrong: "Those two rowing boaters are bad guys?" No, we're going to have to row ashore right now! β
"Can't go," Lou Que gritted his teeth, "they threw the oars away." β
Zheng Xian'er looked at the empty ship, and her heart was slightly cold.
Lou Que looked around and was shocked to find that all the boats that had come and gone in the pool had disappeared at some point. Within a radius of hundreds of zhang, only their small boat was alone in the water.
Zheng Xian'er quickly woke up and hurriedly pulled Lou Que to sit down together: "Draw with your hands!" Anyway, be sure to get out of this place first! β
Lou Que understood what she meant, and without saying a word, he grabbed her hand: "It's not too far from the shore here, hold on-"
Before he could finish his words, he got stuck in his throat.
Because both of them felt the boat under them shake at the same time, and then they heard a muffled sound in their ears.
"Thieves scuttle boats under the water!" Lou Que was shocked.
Zheng Xian'er was stunned, and the next moment she saw a pool of water coming up from the cabin.
"What to do?!" Zheng Xian'er panicked.
Lou Que was also at a loss, but he didn't dare to show it, so he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Keep rowing!" β
The two of them tried their best to paddle without stopping, but rowing by hand was not reliable in the first place, and it was even more useless in such a situation.
After a while, the boat was at most two or three feet away, but the water in the boat was already ankle-high.
The shaking under the boat continues, and the leakage will only get faster and faster.
It was only a matter of time before the ship was wrecked.
And this place, the closest distance from the shore is also hundreds of zhang.
When the pool water was over her calf, Lou Que hugged Zheng Xian'er: "I'm afraid I'm going to affect you." β
Zheng Xian'er looked at the vast pool water, her brows furrowed: "How can this be?" Who is trying to harm us? Why do you want to hurt us? Even if we kill for money, we don't have any money with us! β
Lou Que was silent, but just hugged her waist with more force.
Zheng Xian'er looked at his face and suddenly realized: "Is it the enemy?" You have only been in the court for a few days, and you are in the way of other people's eyes? β
Lou Que had the heart to explain to her, but found that it was too late.
I could already clearly feel the sinking of the boat under my feet.
The shaking of the bottom of the ship is gone. Presumably, the thief knew that he had succeeded, and just waited for the pool of water to devour the two of them.
Lou Que leaned into Zheng Xian'er's ear and asked in a low voice, "If there is a next life, are you still willing to be good with me?" β
"!" Zheng Xian'er shook her water-stained sleeves fiercely: "Who wants to follow you in the next life?" I haven't lived enough in this life! β
Hearing the fierce self-proclaim, Lou Que couldn't help laughing.
Zheng Xian'er wanted to kick him, but she had to give up because of her inconvenience in the water. At this moment, the bodies of the two of them were soaked in cold water, and their legs were so numb that they could barely move.
Lou Que suddenly moved closer to Zheng Xian'er's side, and his voice was extremely low: "The thief swam north, and there should be no other people under the water." β
Zheng Xian'er nodded: "So, let's go east?" β
"Good!" Lou Que agreed, and the hand around her waist tightened.
Zheng Xian'er took a deep breath.
Lou Que gritted his teeth: "Xian'er, hold on!" β
Zheng Xian'er laughed: "It's you who should hold on." Don't you lose your strength and leave me behind! β
can still laugh at this point, which shows that the two are not completely panicked.
Of course, what the truth is, I'm afraid only each person knows.
At this time, the bodies of the two of them were completely immersed in the water, and the existence of the boat could no longer be felt under their feet. Lou Que gritted his teeth, kicked down hard and began to paddle.
Zheng Xian'er cooperated with him, trying her best to maintain the balance between the two and not cause him trouble.
The rest is left to him and fate.
The starlight in the pond faltered, as ethereal as in a nightmare, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.
