Chapter 253: See the Princess Again
Chapter 253: See the Princess Again
Yankangfang is located near the West Market and is famous for the residence of Yan Liben, a great painter of the early Tang Dynasty. A hundred years of wind and rain, things are not people, the owner of the Yan Mansion has changed one stubble after another, only the broken blue brick wall is still loyal, standing alone in the original post, accustomed to seeing the world hot and cold.
The former residence of the great painter in the old days, now the door can be full of birds, in front of the two vermilion lacquer gates, the steps are blue and blue.
"Are you sure, this, this is where the Xian woman lives?"
Ye Ji stood in front of the Xian Mansion and asked Shamuel softly. The brass ring on the gate had been smashed three times, and still no one had answered the door.
"Yes, ma'am. It was the guidance of that Gu Langjun, he said that there are many people in Chang'an City who know how to raise silkworms and weave brocade, but the only one who is willing to go to the Western Regions may be Mrs. Xian. ”
Shamuel replied respectfully. Last night, he negotiated a lot with Gu Investment, one of the four gentlemen in Chang'an, and he didn't know what channel this Gu Tu used to bring many craftsmen to Shamuer, including blacksmiths, carpenters, leathermen, papermakers, etc., but there was a lack of silkworm raisers. However, Gutou still showed Shamur a clear way.
Since the death of the master of the Xian family, his widow Mrs. Xian has become the master of the Xian family, it is said that the only son of the Xian family has also passed the age of the weak crown, Mrs. Xian should have handed over the power of the head of the family to her son, but this son can't support the wall in the mud, and the four major gentlemen of Chang'an are stuck together, so gambling and misfortune, the Xian family is declining day by day under his nonsense. As a last resort, Mrs. Xian had no choice but to continue to be the pillar of the Xian family, struggling to hold up a piece of the sky above Xian's head.
The situation of the Xian family is well understood by the squires of Chang'an City. As the head of the gentleman, Gu Tou naturally knows best, but after receiving a large piece of flying money from Shamul's Honghu Money Workshop, the happy Gu Dajun naturally wants to eliminate disasters for others.
So, Shamur, who had thought about it for a long time, told Ye Ji that after all, it is easier to communicate between women and women, and the psychology of prevention should be relatively weak.
The vermilion lacquer door reacted when the copper ring was pulled up for the fourth time and was not smashed, and with the sound of "creaking", a little ghost's head appeared in the crack of the door.
"Who are you looking for?" The boy asked jerkily, it seeming that he was not used to dealing with strangers.
Ye Ji smiled at him and asked softly, "Is Mrs. Xian at home?" ”
Xiao Tong's face turned red and said shyly: "Yes, I'm sorry, my wife is not available today." Come back to Madame that day. ”
"You little guy, what are you talking about here, go and tell your wife, we have something important to see!"
An Luo'er flashed out from behind Ye Ji and glared at the little boy who guarded the door viciously.
"You, you, what do you want to do?" Xiao Tong's face turned pale, and his shrinking gaze was fixed on the saber on An Luo'er's waist, and An Luo'er's one-handed movement on his waist was more like pulling out the knife.
An Luo'er's eyes rolled, and Xiao Yu's hand pressed towards the handle of the knife.
"Kill, kill, help!" The boy couldn't bother to open the door any longer, and turned around and ran away in exclamation.
Ye Ji shook her head helplessly: "It's hard to talk if you offend someone." ”
An Luo'er disagreed: "Sister, if you don't scare him, we won't even have a chance to go in." ”
"Ma'am, then, let's go in like this?" Shamuel asks a more awkward question. Without permission and without notice, it is very impolite to enter the door rashly in such a situation, which is tantamount to breaking into the house violently. But you can't waste it here, the door has been opened after all.
Just when Ye Ji didn't know what to do, there was a coquettish cheer from behind the gate.
"Who's making trouble?" The door was opened, and a brightly dressed, delicate-looking little lady had a straight face, and there was quite the momentum of a superior person between her eyebrows, which could not be challenged.
"Who are you?" Not to be outdone, An Luoer was-for-tat. In her eyes, the owner of this mansion is neither an official eunuch nor a nobleman, so there is nothing worthy of such arrogance.
"You don't care who I am, I'll count three times, if you don't leave, I'll send you to the yamen prison!"
Threat, the threat of Chiguoguo! Ordinary people may be frightened when they hear it, but An Luo'er doesn't eat her, in the Western Regions, she has never experienced any terrible scenes, and the intimidation of the little lady in front of her is just a lust in her eyes.
"I can't leave, and I still walk in, how can you bear with me?"
"You!"
A tense atmosphere enveloped the gate of the Xian family.
Ye Ji's brows furrowed, it seems that today's things are not very easy to do, the Xian family seems to be a little withdrawn, and there is a completely rejecting attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Shui Rou'er, who's out there?"
Ye Ji raised her eyes in surprise and looked into the room, this sweet voice with a slight sadness seemed familiar, very unique, as if it was in a recent memory. Oh, she finally remembered, and at the same time, the beautiful and peerless face in her memory appeared in front of the door of the inner room and walked towards her, obviously, the other party also recognized Ye Ji.
"Ye Ji has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess! If you are presumptuous, please don't be surprised by the princess. Ye Jiqiao's face flushed, she didn't expect her rudeness to offend the princess.
Different from Shui Rou'er's vigilance, the princess was obviously much more enthusiastic and hospitable, gently pushed away Shui Rou'er's dissuasion, walked straight to Ye Ji's side, and said with a smile: "I was still chatting with Shui Rou'er last night, I don't know if I can see Sister Ye Ji, but you and I still have fate, and we can see you here today." Come, my sister just come in, Ruoxi still has a lot to say to my sister. ”
Like a victorious little hen, An Luo'er raised her head and passed by Shui Rou'er triumphantly.
"Phew! Doesn't it just look a little bigger, and I'm no worse than you in a bearded suit. Shui Rou'er snorted, instinctively lowering her head to her chest......
Mrs. Xian is a well-known embroidery expert, many ladies have to ask her for advice, and Pei Ruoxi, who is going to marry far away from Broken Leaf Town this year, is sent to Xian Mansion by her mother every day to study, so as not to lose the face of the Pei family and the face of the heavenly family in the future. Pei Ruoxi didn't object, it was better to go out for a walk than to be bored at home, and she didn't care what embroidery she learned at all.
In Pei Xiaoniang's impression, the kind-looking Ye Ji is free-spirited, leading a high-headed horse with a waist knife, with a group of female guards, she can go wherever she wants, and the scene shocked the faint fascination buried in her heart in seconds. If all the women in the Western Regions are like this, there seems to be a trace of nostalgia for the fate of marrying far away from Broken Leaf Town.
"Freedom?"
I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. Ye Ji has never felt anything special about her identity and actions, and after Pei Ruoxi mentioned it, she thought about it. Whether it is in Qishi City or in Ningyuan City, no one has said anything or restricted her entry and exit, life and daily life, even if she wants to follow the caravan to Chang'an this time, Li Huaitang also respects her choice, does not forcibly stop it, and also sends a hundred horsemen to escort her.
From Pei Ruoxi's envious gaze, Ye Ji suddenly realized that precious things are often owned by themselves, but they don't know yet, they don't know how to cherish them, and the sweetness in their hearts begins to overflow......
