Chapter 1054: Drifting Away
"Master Wu, don't make a mistake, Lirong is nameless, how can I not speak in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't take up space to talk at home, let alone outside? Please go back, I won't care! Yahuan, send me off! ”
Wu Weiliang saw that the Seventh Lady's face sank like water, and he thought that he was extremely dissatisfied with himself. He saw that there was only one personal maid by the side of the Seventh Lady, so he knelt down again and said, "Madam, from beginning to end of this matter, my clan sister has never excused me, if the Seventh Lady does not speak for me, the villain will have no future!" ”
As he spoke, he burst into tears, and while raising his sleeves to wipe his eyes, he held out a bright red gold hairpin from his sleeve, which was a golden dragonfly, with two pairs of wings on top and one on the bottom, so thin that he could fan it with a breath. The dragonfly's belly turned into a long hairpin, and its two eyes were two rubies the size of soybeans.
"Madame has a way, I know this, whether it is a tall man or a talented person, the seventh lady can always speak - you are sisters, she will give you face."
Lirong didn't move, and there was some possibility of analyzing what Wu Weiliang said.
"I can see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry because the Seventh Lady is implicated in the small one, so the prince is unlikely to refute the face of the Gao Mansion. As long as the Seventh Lady is willing to save me, I will go bankrupt and not spare anything! ”
Lirong Zhen was attracted by the golden hairpin, and while weighing Wu Weiliang's words, she hated him for implicating the trouble on herself, and thought:
"I will accept it, how can I ask for a talent, just to see if she is as close to me as she said. In case it becomes better, it will also be a good hairpin. If it doesn't work, this Wu Weiliang doesn't have any identity, and I'm afraid of him! ”
She motioned to the personal little maid ring to pick up the golden hairpin, and then was worried that Mrs. Cui would come downstairs to see it, so she urged Wu Weiliang to say, "You go, I'll try it, but your mouth needs to be tighter!" ”
Wu Weiliang got the echo, he was a little excited, and then knelt a few steps forward, almost touching Lirong's legs, and said gratefully, "The villain can see that the Seventh Lady is good and has a good heart, and she will not die without help!" After the deed is done, the villain's expression will never be just this. ”
Lirong took a step back and distanced herself from him, "Let's go, let's go, do you want my sisters to see it?" You'll have to figure it out! ”
Wu Weiliang thanked him a thousand times, got up and left.
Back in the back house, Yahuan said enviously to the seventh lady, "This hairpin is really good, in my opinion, it can be changed to a house!" Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Fan, and Mrs. Fifth don't have them! ”
Lirong said, "Shut up, after lunch, we'll go to Meridian Valley to practice horses, and if possible, go to see Sister Wu again." Lirong carefully hid the golden hairpin, thinking about how this thing should work.
……
Women's horse racing of all classes in Chang'an, this is the first time in history, it is not only a grand event, but also a grand ceremony that has never been seen before, and even His Majesty the Emperor may be present at that time.
Officials from the six ministries of the three provinces, as well as ordinary people, would go to watch, and foreign envoys and the Luoyang Garrison Department would also send people to attend. At the end of August, there is only one major event that the entire Chang'an City will pay attention to.
His Royal Highness Li Zhi handed over this matter to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, with the Ministry of Households contributing money, the Ministry of Soldiers, the Ministry of Rites Zhang Luo, and the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian.
Since the beginning of the month, the registration has been organized, and each square district in the city has special institutions and personnel responsible for the registration affairs, and the summary is reported to the county government.
The people in the house went out to practice horses and came back, and saw that the registration office was already a formal director, so they shouted to sign up, Xie Jinlian said, will it be a better departure position if you report early.
Since the people in the house began to train horses, Cui's has not been Zhang Luo once, and many times she is the only one left in the family.
It turned out that there was still the eldest lady Tian Tian accompanying Mrs., but Tian Tian had homework every day, and she had a playmate of Gao Sheji's age, so Tian Tian came to Mrs. Cui less often, and Cui's seemed a little unfamiliar.
But Liu Yuru knew that Mrs. Cui would not participate in the competition because she was in an awkward situation.
The identity of the wife of the high judge who fell into the side room in a daze is an unspeakable pain, and the Cui family will never run to people, shame himself for no reason, and in people's private discussions.
She hasn't seen the concubines and nephews in Xinglufang Gaofu for some days, and she can't go to Qianzhou, hiding in the Shangshu Mansion of the Yongning Fang Military Department every day, and there are not even many people.
The most boring life these days is Mrs. Cui. Liu Yu sometimes thinks that if Yongning Fang can't make her mother happy, where else can she have?
She sometimes wants to discuss this matter with Gao Jun, but he is very busy these days, I heard that on the Goryeo front, Niu Jinda's sailors entered Keshi City, what is the next trend of the battle, it is estimated that the crown prince Li Zhi will soon ask the opinion of the military department.
In the evening, Gao Jun came back and whispered something to Liu Yuru, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned me alone." ”
"Is it about the Goryeo front?"
"No, at first I thought it was something like that, but it wasn't." He said, "Your Highness asked me for advice on the method of massage, focusing on the simple treatment of problems such as the flash waist. ”
Liu Yuru said curiously, "Who has made a mistake, and the prince must personally rescue him?" Could it be that there are no capable people in the Imperial Medical Department? I know you know something, but you will be different from teaching others, in case the prince is clumsy, who will make a mistake, wouldn't it be our fault?! ”
Gao Jun didn't want to talk too much to her, otherwise he would have to bring out Lirong. At that time, as soon as the crown prince Li Zhi asked him, Gao Jun immediately thought of the martial artist falling from his horse.
Lirong privately mentioned to him that the martial arts people entered and left the prince's palace, Gao Jun had always had doubts about this, and it was not until he saw the prince today that he touched some eyebrows: There are many capable people in the Imperial Medical Department, and Li Zhi does not go to them but asks himself in private, it must be inconvenient.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also expressed his intention not to see himself.
On the night before, Gao Jun had already guessed from Lirong's words that this martial artist's illness was not serious.
First, when a martial artist fell from her horse, her horse stopped two or three steps away, indicating that the horse speed at that time was not fast.
The second is that the slope of the martial artist's fall is gentle, and there is soft thatch all over the place, and the bottom is sandy, so there will be no collision of hard objects. The most important point: when the palace people brought the stretcher, the martial artists only let people climb up by themselves with a little support.
People who twist their waist seriously and have the wrong bone ring will hurt their bone marrow as long as they move a little. Li Wanqing twisted her waist when she first arrived at Ranch Village, and she was in cold sweat at that time, and Lirong said that there was not a drop of sweat on the forehead of the martial artists.
When the prince asked about this, he didn't know who twisted his waist, and Gao Jun didn't ask, and the two sides tacitly looked like they were tacit. Gao Jun told Li Zhi that if the patient's condition is not very serious, the healer only needs to rub the palm of his hand, massage it repeatedly along the patient's waist column and the root of the palm, and then take some medicine from Shang Pharmacy to dispel blood stasis and activate blood and take it together.
Liu Yuru guessed at Gao Jun, "Isn't it for the martial arts who fell from the horse?" If the condition of the talented person is serious, then he will never just ask you how to do it, if it is not serious, there is no need to alarm the prince...... Forget it, what the hell are we doing with this idleness! ”
Then, she smiled as if she had learned some secret. But when he noticed that the other party's gaze was a little greedy, he immediately blamed him again, "Now is not the time to act, I mean, what about my mother?" ”
Gao Jun didn't have a good way, and he remembered his mother Qing Ruoying, who was far away in Qianzhou, he sighed deeply and said to her, "There is a letter from Qianzhou, and the adults said that the Lu family wants to go back to Chang'an and wants to participate in the August horse race."
Liu Yuru said loudly, "She is not allowed to come, and she is not allowed to live with me when she comes!" ”
Gao Jun said, "The letter said that the Lu family left after the letter was sent, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Chang'an in a few days!" But it's okay, isn't Qianzhou a quiet day? It's a big deal to let the Lu family live in Xinglufang. ”
The next day, Liu Yuru couldn't control it and mentioned the incident in front of her family, and her wife Cui Ying suddenly decided when she heard it: she wanted to leave Chang'an immediately and go to Xizhou.
Everyone was stunned, but they were all silent, Xizhou may be a suitable choice for Mrs. Cui.
But Cui Yan wept and said, "Mother, we are all in Chang'an, but it is not good to let you go back to Xizhou alone." ”
Cui Shi said, "Yan'er, you don't have to be sad, your mother has today's ending, and you can't blame others entirely, there are some causes and effects in it." It's just that I'm gone, but I don't feel at ease with you, you remember, the smoother the water, the more steady the steps, don't come nonsense. But I'm relieved of Yuru, and you're all obedient. ”
People tried to keep them again, but Mrs. Cui's attitude was very resolute and did not allow anyone to persuade them again, "The race will start soon, but I will definitely affect you to concentrate on training." Let me go to Xizhou to take care of those industries, it's better than being idle here. Besides, Lirong's parents are also there, so why can't I be with them? ”
Several people cried out loud, very reluctant, especially Su Yin and Lirong cried the most. These two had been to Qianzhou before, and they knew better about their wife's grievances.
However, they knew that once Mrs. Cui's decision was made, it would be difficult to change it.
Cui Shi said, "This is a good thing, why do you cry?" Gao Min and Gao Yu are all in Xizhou, and I went with someone to accompany them. By the way, I remember that your sister-in-law was pregnant when she was in March, and by this time she was about to be inconvenient, so I had something to do when I went. ”
Liu Yuru said, it's okay, it's good for all of us to move around like this. In short, mother, if you miss us, write a letter, or if we miss you, the sisters can ride horses, can't they go to Xizhou together for a reunion?
That night, the ladies of Xinglufang Mansion all came to Yongningfang to attend the farewell family banquet before Cui's departure from Beijing.
People knew what prompted her to make such a decision, so the words of retention became courtesy, and they were not convincing at all.
Therefore, Xie Jinlian was responsible for preparing the vehicle, the things used on the road and the coiling, Liu Yuru personally determined the personal maid who would accompany his wife to the west, and Gao Jun selected twenty escorts to accompany him, and prepared his wife's trip properly overnight.
Before dawn, Yongning Fang Mansion dispatched to send Cui's west.
Before Cui's got into the car, the eldest lady Tiantian suddenly climbed into the car, saying that she would not get down at all, she had to go to Xizhou, and she also had to bring the Gaoshe chicken.
People went to ask Xie Jinlian for what she meant, and Tiantian and Mrs. Cui had a good relationship, because in the days of Qianzhou, Cui's care for Tiantian was stronger than Xie Jinlian.
If the girl can go to Xizhou together, the heavy sadness in this parting will be diluted a lot, as if it is just the most ordinary temporary departure.
The girl will soon miss her mother, Xie Jinlian. Some people believe that it will not be long before everyone will have a reason to meet again.
Xie Jinlian had no opinion, and at that time, the high house chicken was also called, and people were busy taking care of the two children's trips.
Asked the old gentleman who had been teaching celibately, Mrs. Xie's usual generous honorarium made him say that he was willing to go to Xizhou without hesitation, so the team traveling west grew again.
As soon as the gate opened, the carriages and horses rumbled out of the house, and everyone went out of the Jinguang Gate and sent forward for thirty miles. When Mrs. Cui raised the curtain of the car and waved goodbye to everyone, she saw that Liu Yuru and the others had smiles on their faces, and they were all from the heart, without sadness.
Cui Shi let go and held Tian Tian in her arms, she felt the carriage swaying, and she was drifting away from Chang'an.
……
On the way back to the city, Liu Yuru and the others discussed plans to return to Xizhou together. It was decided that after the August race, they would have to ride back to West.
As soon as everyone returned to the house, a family member came in to report that Mrs. Lu from Qianzhou had arrived, and the carriage was outside the mansion gate.
Liu Yuru suddenly raised her eyebrows, and felt that her mother Cui Shi left in a hurry, just like some kind of spiritual hint, if she went out an hour later, she would collide with the person outside the door at this moment.
She didn't say to invite someone in, but instructed the housekeeper, "You lead her to Xinglufang." ”
Jia Ding asked, "Mrs. Liu, what should the villain say after he arrives in Xinglufang?" The yard of the master of Xinglufang has always been locked, why don't you let the housekeeper run away? ”
Fan Ying said, "If you want to go, just point it to the gate, who told you to worry about the yard?" Do we have the key? ”
The housekeeper was robbed of white by the ladies here, and he couldn't figure out what his thoughts were, and when he came out with his head down, he met the housekeeper Gao Bai, so he asked the housekeeper to show him.
Gao Bai said, "If you ask me what I'm doing, I'll do what Mrs. Liu says!" ”
When the family came out, they saw that Mrs. Lu from Qianzhou was already waiting a little impatiently, "What's the matter with them?" If you don't pick up a person for half a day, don't you even understand this rule? ”
Lu Shi instructed the guards who came with Qianzhou, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't get the car in yet. ”
The housekeeper stopped and said, "Madam, no! ”
Lu Shi said, "Even you dare to underestimate me, when I return to Qianzhou, I will have your good fruit to eat!" ”
Jia Ding hurriedly said, "Madame, don't blame, when the little one just went in to return, Mrs. Liu really had a hard time, and there was really no empty room here in Yongning Fang." Mrs. Liu said that Mrs. Lu should go to Xinglufang, where there was already the main house of Mrs. and the fifth master. And here is a generation behind, and the lady's daily life is always inconvenient. ”
Lu Shi said, "Joke! Even if you want to settle me down and go to Xinglufang, you can't go inside and sit down and drink tea to moisten your throat?! You go back again, and let whoever they are, come out to greet them personally! ”
