Chapter 140: Kidnapping
In the next few days, Wang Yuan lived a life that he had not seen for a long time, entering the academy every hour, and after listening to the admonitions of the old scholars, he was basically fine. His Majesty the Emperor did not summon them, and the scholars had nothing special to do, except for reading and writing.
This is slightly similar to the life of Wang Yuan in later generations, and the later generations basically taught at the university at this pace, living the same monotonous and simple life. But life here is a bit more boring in comparison. After all, there were only a dozen people in the entire Hanlin Academy and himself, except for the three servants, the rest were old masters who were leaky in speech and weak in walking, and for Wang Yuan, a young man who was less than twenty years old, it was difficult to have a common language to talk to them.
But one good thing is that the Hanlin Academy has a large collection of books, from astronomy and geography to the works of famous note-writers in the market. What's even more rare is that these books have sentences to read and annotated explanations, which makes them a lot less difficult to read.
This is the result of the reading of the masters of the Hanlin Academy in the past dynasties, although these masters seem to be stiff, but in fact they have thoughts in their heads, and when they read, they will write down notes and experiences, and explain the original allusions. Sometimes a large text is sprinkled, and more words are written than the article itself, sandwiched between the books of these books. In some places, there will be a conflict of opinions, and more than a dozen pieces of paper with their own opinions written in the same place will be sandwiched. They also do not argue with each other face-to-face, but through this kind of paper confrontation, the exchange of ideas is completed, and the people involved in this confrontation do not even know who the other person is.
Wang Yuan soon indulged in the sea of books in the academy. This is the best way to pass the long spring days, in this Tang Hanlin Academy, which has no mobile phones and computers, and cannot move around at will, what will be more comfortable than making a pot of tea and picking up a book? Another point is that Wang Yuan himself is a person who likes to read, and in the face of such a large collection of books, it is very interesting to see the unique debating methods of the Hanlin masters, so it is easy to substitute for himself.
As a result, Wang Yuan almost unhindered integration into the Hanlin Academy, which seemed to outsiders to be extremely boring and boring.
Every day when they enter the palace, but there is no matter of His Majesty's summons, all the masters will gather together to talk about it first, and at this time, someone will take out their poems or write a word from yesterday for everyone to appreciate. Of course, there will be some mild arguments, but most of them will be mutual compliments, euphemistically pointing out shortcomings.
After that, they returned to their respective public houses without interfering with each other, or drinking tea and reading, or writing poems by the window, or just sitting in a daze. Until the afternoon, except for one bachelor on duty in the afternoon, the rest of the people could go home, because the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty did not work in the afternoon.
After a few days in the Hanlin Academy, the pace of life was so slow and bizarre that Wang Yuan seemed to have aged instantly, and he actually enjoyed this slow-paced and indisputable life.
At noon on March 11, after a morning of consumption, Wang Yuan, who had poured a belly of tea, stood up, looked at the spring sun shining above his head with white flowers outside the window, stretched lazily, and began to slowly pack up his things and prepare to go home from the palace.
Suddenly there was a human voice in the courtyard, and a crisp voice shouted, "Is Master Wang Yuan Wang here?" ”
Wang Yuan walked to the courtyard with the package on his back, only to see two palace maids standing under the big banyan tree, Meng Fuzi was talking to them, seeing Wang Yuan come out, Meng Yuanchang pointed to Wang Yuan and said to the two women: "This one is Master Wang, you have something to say to him." ”
Two maids stepped forward to give a salute, and Wang Yuan hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Who are the two girls?" ”
The green-clothed maid on the left smiled and said: "Slave and other things, Mrs. Qin Guo's personal maid, the slave is called Qing'er, and the other one is called Zi'er." We are specially invited to invite Master Wang on the order of Mrs. Qin. ”
Wang Yuanleng said: "Please me?" What's the matter? ”
The maidservant girl named Qing'er smiled and said: "The bachelor forgot to promise my wife, Mrs. has been waiting for you to see her for a few days, but there has been no news for five or six days, no, I have to order the two of me to invite you." ”
Wang Yuan frowned and thought about it, then raised his forehead and suddenly said, "Is it a matter of being a teacher for your young son?" ”
The servant girl in purple next to her said a little angrily: "Knowingly, can you forget what you promised?" My wife has dinner at the Nannei Guifei Niangniang, and she is about to leave the palace, so we can meet with Mrs. from Daming Palace and go to Mrs. Qin's mansion together. ”
Qing'er smiled: "I'm sorry Master Wang, my sister has a bad temper, don't be surprised by your adult." But my wife really wants the two of us to invite you to go back to the house with her, and my wife said, I must invite you to the house today. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay, it's also my fault that I forgot about this matter in the past few days, I should have gone to see your wife." So what are you waiting for? Let's go. But I have to send someone to deliver a letter to my house, otherwise I won't return in the afternoon, and my family will not know what happened to me. ”
Qing'er smiled: "Don't worry, the entourage you have been notified to carry is called Huang San, isn't it?" He had already driven the carriage back. ”
Wang Yuan opened his mouth and nodded: "Okay, since everything has been arranged, it's nothing, two girls, please." ”
The three of them came out of the Daming Palace, and the two women did have waist cards to enter and leave the Daming Palace, which made Wang Yuan have no doubts about their identities. Huang San and his own carriage were indeed missing where the carriage was parked in front of the palace gate, and Huang San acted as his entourage during this time, Wang Yuan had already discussed with Li Xin'er to buy a small servant to be his attendant, so as not to toss Huang San, but he had not bought it yet.
But this San Lang is also sincere, he didn't have his own words, just relied on other people's words and drove away, which is too casual. Wang Yuan couldn't help but have some complaints in his heart.
The woman in Tsing Yi stood aside and waved her hand, only to see a luxurious carriage slowly driving over from the side and stopping beside Wang Yuan.
"Bachelor, please get in the car." Qing'er smiled.
Wang Yuan said: "What about you? Are you in the same car with me? ”
A trace of gloom flashed on Qing'er's face, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry about us, my wife is afraid that she has already left Xingqing Palace, let's hurry up and go to the round, so as not to worry about Mrs. and others." ”
Wang Yuan nodded, opened the side door of the carriage and got in, just listening to the click, the carriage door seemed to be buckled on the outside; There was a sudden black rumbling in the carriage. Wang Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to open the curtain in front of him, and the light came in, and he could see the backs of the two women sitting on the wheels of the car on the left and right, and his heart was a little calmer.
"Let's go." Qing'er's voice came, the coachman shook the reins, the whip snapped, and the carriage moved, and after a while, the speed increased, as if galloping on the street.
Wang Yuan sat in the bumpy carriage and clung tightly, and the whole person was bumped up and down in the carriage, which was very uncomfortable. Through the window in front of him, Wang Yuan noticed that the direction of going was east, and if he came out of Daming Palace to have a round with Mrs. Qin Guo who came out of Xingqing Palace, he could only go south.
"Hey, hey, where is this going? It seems that the direction is wrong, but it is to go south. Wang Yuan knocked on the carriage and shouted at the two women sitting on the wheel.
The woman in Tsing Yi turned around and smiled at Wang Yuan through the car window: "Master Wang, don't worry, I just received a message from Mrs. asking us to take you directly to the mansion and wait for her." ”
"Hey, hey, that's not right, isn't Mrs. Qin's mansion in Yongchangfang? Directly to the south, this direction is to Yongfu Fang. ”
"That's right, that's right, don't worry, there is still a house in Yongfufang, and my wife lives in Yongfufang today." The woman in Tsing Yi still smiled.
Wang Yuan realized that something was wrong and shouted, "Stop, stop, I'll get out of the car and take a breath." ”
Before the woman in Tsing Yi could speak, the woman in purple next to her suddenly turned around, shook a bright knife in her hand in front of the car window, and said viciously: "Shut up, stay obedient, otherwise I will stab you." ”
Wang Yuan's heart was cold, and the premonition of worry became a reality, he was actually kidnapped, or was he kidnapped from the heavily guarded Daming Palace Academy, not to be exact, he was deceived. For a while, my mind was racing, thinking about who would kidnap me and what I was going to do to myself. But my mind was in a mess, and I couldn't figure it out for a while.
Wang Yuan stopped talking, stretched out his feet and kicked at the door and the four walls of the carriage, and the dull sound of knock knock came, which shook his legs and feet, but the four walls of the carriage did not move at all, obviously made of very strong materials.
"Don't bother with it, it's all sandalwood carriages, with reinforced rungs, not to mention that you have one Wang Bachelor, even ten Wang Bachelors can't get it. Save your energy. The woman in purple teased.
"What are you going to do? I am an official of the imperial court, and if you dare to disadvantage me, you will behead and rob your family. In a hurry, Wang Yuan also had to say what officials often used to scare people.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, it's not about your life, if you are shouting so loudly that the people on the street will hear, then we will really kill you." The woman in Tsing Yi said half-coaxing and half-frightened.
Wang Yuan immediately stopped his mouth with amusement, a fierce reaction will bring violent consequences, at the moment, I don't know who kidnapped him, and don't overreact, calm down, looking for an opportunity to get out is an expedient measure.
