Chapter 475: The Grass Dragon Falls Slope
There is a small gatehouse under the tall wall of the west courtyard of Shannan, and there is a sign hanging on it, which reads the words "Qianzhou Post House". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis post house is not very generous, and it is in disrepair, and it is a little low and shabby compared with the elegant yamen of Shannan West Courtyard. So much so that Gao Jun walked over from there, and if there was no one to point him out, he almost walked over with his head raised.
He said to Liu Yuru, "Madam, it seems that we have to settle for the night, but it's a big deal that we will set off before dawn." Liu Yuru nodded, "Since this is the best, I will live in it even if I grit my teeth." ā
Entering the post house, the room was full of mildew, Liu Yuru and Fan Ying thought that the bedding was damp, and kept muttering, "There is no money to repair the house, do you need silver for the sun outside?" But for the "best" place to stay in Qianzhou, they can only complain.
The three of them hugged each other and shrank tiredly, and it was not until the second half of the night that the moisture of the quilt was dried by their body temperature, but they delayed their good sleep a lot. Fan Ying said, "Senior brother, let's go!" Liu Yuru said, "The quilt just dried and left, it's too cheap for them, let's stay up until dawn!" ā
Li Shen and Wang Wenchen also said the same thing after they got up in the morning. Gao Jun said, "Unfortunately, I suddenly remembered that there was an old man in Qianzhou who wanted to visit," Li Shen said, "Then we will wait for Master Gao for another day." "It seems that they didn't sleep well at night, saying that they didn't want to go anywhere, so they made up for sleep in their rooms.
After breakfast, Gao Jun brought Liu Yuru and Fan Ying out, and he didn't go to visit any old people, and the three of them hung in front of the gate of Shannan West Courtyard. After a while, the night guard on the door changed shifts, and one of the people who came to replace them took the initiative to greet them and said, "Three, it's so early!" Gao Jun saw that it was the person who showed them the way yesterday evening.
Gao Jun walked up and whispered to the man, "This errand officer, I want to go and see the grass dragon yesterday, I wonder if you can take us there?" I won't let the errand run away in vain! Said and gestured to Fan Ying.
Fan Ying immediately took out four pieces of broken silver, and after the man took it, he threw one to each of the other three and kept one for himself, and said to them, "Come when you go." Then he led Gao Jun and the three of them to the end of the street.
On the street they walked on yesterday, there was a small alley facing north and south two hundred paces away from the west courtyard of Shannan, and they walked in and around for a long time, and at the end of the alley they saw a small courtyard with half a fan on the wall.
The messenger took the money and was very conscientious, stopped in front of the courtyard gate and said, "Childe, this is it!" Saying that, he stretched out his hand and patted on the door and shouted, "Are you there?" A distinguished guest has arrived! ā
Gao Jun had already told Liu Yuru and Fan Ying before he came, and they were curious in their hearts, and they didn't know what it was like for the former Tang Dynasty Crown Prince to live in such a dilapidated courtyard. After a while, footsteps were heard in the courtyard.
The man who walked down the street yesterday with a basket of vegetables opened the door and was stunned when he saw the shy officer. Today, the official was very polite, hugged his fists and said, "A distinguished guest has arrived," and without waiting for the person to speak, he bowed his hand to Gao Jun and the three of them and left.
The man looked at Gao Jun, with a confused look on his face, "Can Childe recognize my master?" ā
Gao Jun said, "Brother Tai, I bother you to pass through, just say that Xizhou don't drive Gao Jun from Qianzhou, I heard that your master lives here, and I came to visit." The man turned around, kicked away an empty basket at his feet, and ran to the house to report it.
Gao Jun looked at the three old tiled houses in the courtyard, which were also in disrepair, and the artemisia grass on the roof ridge was densely grown, and the tiles were removed two or three times. At this moment, I could hear a burst of ping-pong in the room on the left side of the house, as if it was busy cleaning up. For a long time, that person led out a man and a woman from inside.
Gao Jun, Liu Yuru, and Fan Ying all looked up at the same time, and the two people standing in front of them surprised them. I saw that they were supporting each other, and they couldn't help but look weak, and even their eyes were at a loss. The man's face was white and clear without a trace of blood, and the dress on the woman's body had long since faded, and it couldn't wrap around a pair of shaved shoulders, which was in stark contrast to Liu Yuru and Fan Ying standing in front of her.
From their temperament and fingers, Gao Jun confirmed that he had found the right person, so he arched his hand and said, "Gao Jun took the liberty of bringing his wife to visit, hoping not to disturb His Highness." ā
Standing in front of him was the hidden prince - Li Chengqian. Since the seventeenth year of Zhenguan in September, Guiwei migrated to Qianzhou, a year and two months have passed, and no one has ever come here to see them.
I heard the housekeeper report just now that Xizhou had arrived, and the two people lying on the kang had just gotten up. Originally, they wanted to wait for the housekeeper to go to the market to buy some green vegetables, boil porridge and get up again. At this time, he hurriedly got up and seemed to have exhausted all of Li Chengqian's strength. He nodded and said, "Master Gao, I am like you...... It seems that ......" He wanted to say that he didn't know, but he felt that it was inappropriate to say so, and he paused there for a while, and a trace of blood flashed on his face.
Gao Jun said, "Your Highness doesn't have to be polite, Gao Jun saw the housekeeper holding a basket on the street last night, and I heard that His Highness was in Qianzhou, so I came to take a look," he looked at the house in the courtyard and said, "It seems that His Highness's recent situation is not very good, Gao Jun hopes to help you." ā
At this time, the woman had already helped Li Chengqian to sit on a low stool, and the housekeeper also set out a small table from the house, and then went to carry a pot out, poured hot water for everyone, and then stood aside.
Li Chengqian pointed at the woman and said, "This is ...... It's ......"
The housekeeper said on the side, "This is my crown princess." ā
Li Chengqian was so shocked that he stopped, "Don't talk nonsense! The crown prince is gone, where is the crown princess! ā
The housekeeper said, "Master, I mean our family, and I didn't say Datang!" ā
Gao Jun smiled, indicating that he didn't mind, and glanced at Fan Ying again. Fan Ying stepped forward and took out a heavy cloth bag from her backpack and put it on the table in front of the late crown princess.
The twelve gold ingots that Fan Ying and Liu Yuru obtained in Dengzhou, in addition to one given to Xin Laohan's daughter as a dowry, there are eleven more, and five are loaded today, in addition, they took out two envelopes totaling one hundred taels of silver and five hundred copper coins from the coil given by the king of Jiangxia, all of which were packed in them.
The crown princess opened the cloth bag and took a look, her hands trembled a little, and she grabbed the mouth of the bag to show Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was also surprised, not to mention how poor their lives have been in the past year or so, with these gold and silver, it is probably enough for them to save three or five years. Gao Jun didn't wait for him to be polite, and then asked again, "I don't know if Your Highness still has something to come forward, so you can tell it." What Gao Jun can do must help. ā
Li Chengqian said, "The kindness of the tall man has made Cheng Qian grateful, these things are just charcoal in the snow, Cheng Qian can no longer have extravagant hopes!" Besides, I'm a guilty person, so it's not good to burden the tall man, otherwise I won't be able to sleep and eat! ā
Gao Jun waved his hand and said, "I don't know who you are, and you don't know which one I am, just bump into Ji Ji occasionally." Even if there is anything, if Gao is afraid of the front and the future, he will not come! ā
Li Chengqian muttered, "The world only recognizes high-headed horses, how can I see a person in an emergency!" The kindness of the tall man in the snow, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay it in my life! (To be continued.) )
