Chapter 279: Pomp
Feng Juniang had no intention of writing, but she wanted to complete today's task, so she wrote faster and faster, and the last few strokes were done in one go, which was no longer a rule, but she liked it more, nodded and said: "It's not too difficult to write, in less than a month, I have made great progress, and I am about to be able to create my own school." ”
Feng Juniang walked to the edge of the screen and looked at Xu Ji, who was sitting dry, a little puzzled and a little distressed, "Does the son want to drink tea?" ”
Xu Ji smiled and shook his head.
"Someone from the city later, Childe...... Do you want to go out and greet you? ”
Xu Ji still shook his head.
"At least get new clothes."
Xu Ji glanced down and said, "People are old people, why do you need new clothes?" ”
"Hehe, Childe's words are quite meaningful, but don't use them on me, waste them, keep them for that old man Kou."
"His name is Kou Daogu, but he is not an old man, and he is not old, he should not be forty years old."
"Ha, I'm old enough, I shudder at the thought of the day when I will be thirty years old, but I don't want to ......die," Feng Juniang trembled slightly, "In short, Gongzi used all the cruel words on Kou Daogu, just like dealing with that Yu Zhan, and defeated him in a few moves." ”
"If the rumors are true, I'm probably not Kou Daogu's opponent."
"Hey, you haven't fought yet, why are you discouraged first? Childe wasn't like that before. ”
Xu Ji smiled slightly, "There is victory in defeat, although I am not Kou Daogu's opponent, I may not lose to him." ”
Feng Juniang squeezed out a few strange expressions, she likes to argue clearly, and she doesn't like incomprehensible wit, "The prince of Jibei is also here, he is a big man, some people say that he may be the emperor of the north, and when the prince sees him, he won't change into new clothes?" ”
"The old man sees the old man......"
"Childe is at his own convenience, I'll go outside and take a look, maybe I can block this old way for Childe." Feng Juniang hurriedly walked out of the room, breathed in the fresh air in the valley, and muttered, "Old people, old houses, old words...... I really don't know how Childe can endure it until now. If I were the other wife of the son, I would not have come to see him......"
There are not many people in the valley, but there are a sea of people outside the valley, and even some traders have come, carrying burdens and shouting, and the business is quite prosperous.
The old servant came up to him and said to Feng Juniang, "Don't go to Gukou today." ”
"Where can I see anyone?"
"Do you know what people outside say about you and Childe?"
Feng Juniang smiled: "I can imagine it, but the son doesn't care, I don't care, and since my reputation is outside, if I am hidden, wouldn't it be more discussing?" ”
"You're getting sharper and sharper, beware that you'll never marry again."
"No one dares to marry me anymore anyway, not so much because of 'Kefu', but because of 'sharp teeth'. Childe lives in seclusion here, and I am his vanguard general......"
The old servant covered his ears and ran away, he only cared about how much rice and noodles were left, and had no interest in the debate that was about to start, and after entering the house, he said to Xu Ji: "Childe, there is something I have to say. ”
"You say."
"Today, the prince of Jibei will come, no matter what, it is the son-in-law's brother-in-law, and it is easier to talk. Is it okay for Childe to ...... Acceptance? ”
"He is a guest, I am the Lord, of course I have to accept it."
"It's not just polite, it's ...... be honest."
"Lack of food or clothing?"
"For the time being, there is no shortage, but sitting and eating empty, King Liang is very generous, let us take away a lot of things, but more than 30 people, not enough."
"Understood, I'll 'accept' it." Xu Ji blinked.
The old servant took his leave, feeling more and more incomprehensible to the childe.
Feng Juniang called Yahuan, and the two women in the valley came to the valley mouth, standing behind Chang Yanzhi and the others, the people outside looked at the strangeness inside, and the people inside also looked at the excitement outside the gate.
Feng Juniang has never been afraid of people, the more she looks at herself, the more comfortable she becomes, and even beckons to the vendors to buy some snacks and small items across the fence.
Chang Yanzhi and the others were very nervous, what they cared about was not the debate, but how to ensure the safety of Xu Gongzi and the prince of Jibei.
There were more and more people gathered outside the valley, and it was boring to wait, and some bold teenagers teased Feng Juniang loudly, causing bursts of laughter, and Feng Juniang sneered at each other, causing more laughter.
Several old Confucians scolded sharply, drove away the rogue boy, and stood in the first row of the crowd, their eyes were stern, and occasionally swept Feng Juniang, all showing disdain.
After all, today's main drama is a Fanmen polemic, and among the onlookers, there are more readers.
Feng Juniang didn't care at all, she used a silk paddle to hold snacks, and talked and laughed with the people around her, which made the old gentlemen more and more dissatisfied, and the disciples who were a little farther away bowed their heads one after another, and took advantage of the fact that the companions on the left and right were not paying attention, and the people who were farther away did not have so many scruples, and their eyebrows were dancing, thinking that it was worth the trip just to see the beauty, but unfortunately they couldn't squeeze into the front row.
There were not many women who came to see the excitement, and they stopped farther away, and they couldn't see the situation in the valley, and just by imagining, Feng Juniang was depicted extremely unbearable.
On the third pole of the day, the advance guard of the prince of Jibei arrived, separated the crowd, and more than ten people entered the valley to check the situation, and ordered Changyanzhi and others to hand over their weapons, and they wanted to take over the entire valley.
To Feng Juniang, these guards were not polite, and directly ordered her to go back to the house.
"Our convention here, if you want to argue with Xu Gongzi, you have to pass my pass first."
The leader of the guards said coldly: "The matter of the debate has nothing to do with me, I only want to expel irrelevant people, etc." ”
"I'm not unattended." Feng Juniang said stubbornly, but she is not a stubborn person, Chang Yanzhi and others have honestly handed over their weapons, and she will not clash with the soldiers, so she called Yahuan, "I'm tired of standing, let's rest." ”
The old gentlemen breathed a sigh of relief, but many people who watched the excitement were disappointed, but no one dared to speak out, and the soldiers stood on the side of the road.
More soldiers arrived, not only taking over the valley and beyond, but also hanging a whole sheet of red cloth along the fence to block the eyes from the outside.
This time, even the old gentlemen were dissatisfied, thinking that they were despised, which was not in line with the reputation of Corporal Yecheng.
Sun Yalu appeared in time and invited more than a dozen Confucian scholars with relatively high reputation into the valley, which can be regarded as calming the anger of many scholars.
Soon after, hundreds of Fan Sect disciples arrived, lined up in two lines, and entered the valley, where they would witness the controversy with their own eyes, rather than standing outside the valley and waiting for news.
To the disappointment of many, Kou Dao was not among this group of disciples.
A large number of carriages appeared on the road, attracting all the attention, without the order of the officers and soldiers, the people on both sides knelt down one after another, peeked in, and whispered guessing which carriage was sitting in the prince of Jibei.
More than 30 cars entered the valley, until the officers and soldiers lined up in several columns to block the entrance to the valley, the people slowly got up, still arguing about which car the prince took, and only a few scholars cared about how Kou Daogu got in.
In the valley, several tents are erected on the ground, and the smallest one is larger than the surrounding wooden houses and grass huts.
Feng Juniang peeked out through the window and said to Yahuan: "I heard that Lord Huanyan will come, that is also a very amazing woman, I really want to see it." ”
"More powerful than the Golden Saintess?"
"It's not the same thing, the Golden Holy Maiden is amazing...... is like a general, and the county lord of Huanyan is more like ...... Scholar. ”
"It's a person who goes all the way with Xu Gongzi."
"Well, I'm also a fellow traveler."
Yahuan held back her laughter, but there were traces on her face, Feng Juniang caught a glimpse of it, and snorted, "You are glad that I want to learn to read now, in the past, I will tear your mouth apart." ”
Yahuan hurriedly put away her smile.
A pair of eyes suddenly appeared outside the window, facing each other, Feng Juniang was so frightened that she almost screamed, and the people outside said, "Don't peek." ”
"It's obvious that you're peeking." Feng Juniang pushed the window, stroked her chest and panted lightly, and said to Yahuan after a while: "I regret learning to read a little bit." ”
"Madame's heart has become too fast, hasn't it?" Yahuan laughed.
"You don't understand, there is a saying that 'show talent meets soldiers, and it is reasonable to say', when I see it today, it is really the case, if you talk about pomp and momentum, a thousand or ten thousand scholars are not as good as the previous prince of Jibei."
"Madame has befriended the kings in the Eastern Capital, why do you care about pomp and circumstance today?"
"It's different, the kings of the Eastern Capital are famous, and the so-called support is nothing more than more guards, which is not as pleasing to the eye as the Jibei royal family."
"Wouldn't the pomp of the emperor's house be even greater?"
"Definitely. Alas, Liu Youzhong said that I have a fortune in my life, I don't know...... How far is it from me? After some thought, Feng Juniang decided not to "see through" physiognomy.
Someone knocked on the door outside, Feng Juniang was quite surprised and asked Yahuan to open the door.
The room in the valley is not big, Feng Juniang can see the people outside when she stands in the house, and the person who comes is a young woman, with soft clothes and a dignified expression, just like the person in the painting.
Yahuan was frightened first, and she couldn't speak, so she turned sideways and stepped aside, more timid than she saw the soldiers.
Feng Juniang was also ashamed of herself in her heart, but she would not show it like Yahuan, she walked over, nodded slightly, and asked, "What do you call Your Excellency?" Why? ”
Known as "Your Excellency", the woman outside was slightly stunned, and then said, "You are Feng Juniang?" ”
"It's me."
"Please come with me."
"Where to go? Who to meet? ”
But the woman refused to answer, and turned sideways to give way.
Feng Juniang refused to leave the house, "If you want to argue with Kou Laodao, I'll go, if it's to see Lord Huanyan, please let her come to me and tell her ......"
The woman turned around and walked away, unhurried.
Feng Juniang's momentum decreased slightly, waited for a while, and said to Yahuan: "If it weren't for the fact that Mangu was full of officers and soldiers, I wouldn't be afraid of her." ”
Yahuan nodded, and begged Madame to follow quickly, but she was really scared.
Feng Juniang was a little frightened and a little curious, so she quickly caught up, walked side by side silently for a while, and asked, "The county lord has also heard my name?" ”
The woman still didn't answer.
When she came to the big tent, the woman stopped, sideways and moved away, and Feng Juniang did the same, because a group of people walked out of the tent, none of them were officers and soldiers, and they surrounded the two people walking in front.
Feng Juniang was bold, and quickly glanced at it, wanting to see what the prince of Jibei looked like, the prince had been to the Eastern Capital, and she didn't have a chance to see it.
Shizi is a richly dressed young man, there is nothing special, Feng Juniang was a little disappointed, and was about to retract her gaze, attracted by the people around Shizi.
It was a very handsome man, dressed in cloth, walking among a group of people in brocade clothes, not at all obtrusive, he had a pale face, whiter than Xu Ji, who had not been out of the house for nearly a month, and his eyes were a little dazed, but once he looked at it, he was like a sharp arrow.
Feng Juniang was stared at, and hurriedly retracted her gaze, feeling apprehensive in her heart, secretly thinking that Kou Lao Dao was really not old, nor was he a Taoist priest, and his momentum was extraordinary, just by looking at it, she had dispelled the idea of "passing her first", and her confidence in Xu Ji was only three or four points.
A group of people walked over, the prince of Jibei obviously recognized the woman who led the way, stopped and said a few words, and glanced at the person he was carrying, but Feng Juniang didn't notice anything, and when the group of people walked away, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then her mind turned, recalling what she had just heard, her heart jumped suddenly.
"You're the maid of the prince's sister, isn't that ......?"
The woman finally replied, "Well, it's the Lord of Fonter County who sees you." ”
Feng Juniang didn't expect to see Xu Gongzi's other wife today.
