Volume 4 Returning to the Past XXXVII. Beauty is poison

The group got off Gexian Mountain and rode back to the county seat of Leadshan by car.

It's really strange, Lin Hanyun was so angry when she came, and now when she goes back, she is very energetic, she thinks the carriage is stuffy, and she wants to ride a horse, but her "crane in the clouds" didn't bring it, so she rode Zhou Xuan's "Black Rose".

Zhou Xuan walked, and the walking on this rugged road was more refreshing, but the officials in the lead mountain were suffering, and they accompanied Zhou Xuan on foot one by one, which was called "Anbu as a car".

Zhou Xuan walked on the left side of the "Black Rose" horse and asked: "Hanyun, when Siyuan Daoist did the Fa for you before, he told you to close your eyes, I saw that your eyes opened and quickly closed, what did you see?" ”

Lin Hanyun said: "I saw the gossip map spinning, as if it was constantly rising. ”

Zhou Xuan said "hey" and said, "That's Siyuan Dao Chang spinning in circles, making you dizzy." Then he whispered, "Hey, sister Hanyunβ€”"

"What?"

"Why is Sister Daoyun depressed? I don't know what Daoist Siyuan said to her, you go and investigate. ”

Lin Hanyun was most interested in hearing the secret, and immediately got off the car, and when she saw that her sister was wearing a veil again, she said strangely: "Didn't my sister promise Zhou Xuan not to wear a veil?" I didn't wear it when I went up the mountain, why do I have to wear it in the car now? ”

Fairy Jingyi said lightly: "I want to wear it, and I will always wear it in the future." ”

"What's wrong with my sister?" Lin Hanyun lifted the corner of Fairy Jingyi's veil to look at her face, her hand was gently knocked off, and Fairy Jingyi said angrily: "Hanyun, you are really very, my sister has always worn a veil before, haven't you been used to it a long time ago?" ”

Lin Hanyun's eyes rolled, and she pretended to be aggrieved: "Sister seems to be unhappy? My sister was not happy when I got better, so I continued to get sick. ”

"What a stupid thing!" Fairy Jingyi hurriedly took her sister's hand and said softly: "You have been sick for the past two days, but your sister has been in a hurry, and you are better now." Can my sister be unhappy? ”

Lin Hanyun pretended to be cute and leaned on Fairy Jingyi's chest and asked, "Why does that sister look sullen?" Oh, I know, did Zhou Xuan take advantage of his sister in the carriage last night? I asked him to settle accounts, I scolded him to death, don't look at him as a marquis, I will still scold him! ”

"No, no, oh, be quiet!" Fairy Jingyi was ashamed and angry. Reached out to cover Lin Hanyun's mouth.

Lin Hanyun said "hmm": "Then why is my sister unhappy?" My sister didn't say anything, so I asked Zhou Xuan to go. ”

Fairy Jingyi couldn't help it, so she had to say, "Okay, sister told you, don't tell Zhou Xuan." ”

My sister was finally about to confess, Lin Hanyun was secretly proud in her heart, and nodded: "Well, my sister said." ”

Fairy Jingyi was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "Daoist Siyuan said that I am red and cold, just because I don't wear a veil recently. ”

There is another sentence, Jingyi Fairy buried deep in her heart and did not dare to say it. Si Yuandao said in a long way: "Jingyi, you are a person who is naturally suitable for cultivation, in the world, don't say that you are married, even the man who is close to you will be hurt by Hongluan." Fairy Jingyi was shocked by this sentence.

Lin Hanyun heard what her sister said, and Hongluan was angry, and said, "I'll take a look, I'll take a look." Lifted the veil of Fairy Jingyi and looked at it. said: "My sister's face is very beautiful, where is it cold?" The cold wind is just chilling. ”

Fairy Jingyi sighed slightly, and said: "Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty listed beauty as one of the four poisons in "On Hengyan Poison", saying that the person who is beautiful has a poisonous sting, and I am the one who has a poisonous sting. ”

Lin Hanyun hurriedly hugged Fairy Jingyi tightly: "Sister, don't scare me, I haven't had my mother's love since I was a child." I am only closest to my sister, and if my sister wants to leave me again, then I won't live! He began to cry.

Fairy Jingyi hurriedly patted Lin Hanyun's back and said with a smile: "Sister is talking about playing, how can my sister be willing to leave you!" No matter what Hongluan is, since I have entered the Dao Gate, I will not be able to harm othersβ€”Amitayus Happiness. ”

Lin Hanyun said in her heart: "Yes, what are you afraid of when my sister enters the Daomen, and what veil is she wearing?" Could it be that my sister wants to get rid of Hongluan one day and get married? Hee-hee, who does my sister want to marry? Zhou Xuan, of course. Well, I must fulfill my sister's marriage, I will not marry Zhou Xuan, but I must let my sister marry him. ”

Lin Hanyun took a ride and went down to ride a horse. told Zhou Xuan about the 1510 she heard.

Zhou Xuan frowned and said, "This is strange. I also asked Daoyun's sister about Hongluan, and Siyuan said that it would be eliminated in the next year. Why did you say that in front of Sister Daoyun? Isn't this two-sided! ”

Lin Hanyun smiled and asked, "Brother Zhou Xuan, what are you asking my sister Hongluan for?" If the red luan demon can be lifted next year, do you want to marry my sister? ”

Zhou Xuan was slightly embarrassed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, can't I care about Sister Daoyun?" ”

Lin Hanyun said deliberately: "Hongluan is angry, it is estimated that the coward will not dare to marry my sister." While looking at Zhou Xuan's face.

Zhou Xuan's expression did not move, and he thought: "I don't believe in these famous halls, as long as I like it, I must marry, Siyuan Daoist also encouraged me, the more fierce the more auspicious, but Sister Daoyun seems to be very determined to seek the Tao, and I am determined to marry Lin Hanyun, and it seems a bit shameless to pursue Sister Daoyun again, slowly, slowly." He immediately smiled and said nothing, which meant - we'll see.

It was already evening when everyone returned to the county seat of Leadshan, rested for a night, and set off the next day, without delay all the way, and did not go to play when crossing Guixi Longhu Mountain, mainly because Jingyi Fairy was not interested, Longhu Mountain was five buckets of rice road, and Jingyi Fairy's Lingbao faction had little contact.

On the afternoon of May 13, Xinzhou Hou convoy entered Hongzhou, last year Chongyang Zhou Xuan was in the limelight in Hongzhou, Teng Wangge Doushi won Yang Xiaofeng, Baihuazhou with an inconspicuous black-backed insect "can not touch" swept the group of insects to win the championship, won tens of thousands of taels of silver, after eight months, the old land revisited, the status has been very different, his rival Zhennan Jiedu made Wei Bo, Wei Jue father and son one dead, one imprisoned, Hongzhou no longer has a person who can threaten him, by the way, there is also "Sai Guo Jie" Song Wu, I don't know what happened to this person now?

Judge Fan took two government soldiers to take the first step, went to Hongzhou Assassin Mansion to report the news, and waited for Zhou Xuan and his party to come to the state office. Chen Ji's father, Chen Shu, was already in front of the door to greet him.

Zhou Xuan rolled the saddle and dismounted, and met with a nephew ceremony.

Chen Shu hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Since Chongyang said goodbye to Zhou Xian's nephew last year, the old man can often hear rumors about Zhou Xian's nephew in Hongzhou, which are all good stories." ”

After a few greetings, Chen Shu invited Zhou Xuan, Judge Fan, and General Qi to sit down in the state office, and Fairy Jingyi and others also entered the inner courtyard to meet Mrs. Chen Shu.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Uncle Chen, is Chen Ji still training in the Yong'an Metropolitan Protectorate?" Have you been back in the near future? ”

Chen Shu said: "Ji'er came back in mid-April and went to Jianzhou to inspect the new army. Donggong knew that May 28 was the wedding date of Lin Duhu's second son, and left a message that he would rush to Jiangzhou to meet Zhou Xuan's cousin. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Very good, I also have something to report to the East Palace." ”

Chen Shu briefed Zhou Xuan on the situation in the thirteen counties of the three prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Zhennan Metropolitan Protectorate, Wei Bo and his party had been cleaned up, and a group of state and county magistrates who had been replaced were all personally selected by the East Palace, and the officials at the underground level who had a good political reputation were temporarily led by Chen Shu of Zhennan.

That night, Chen Shu held a feast in Hongzhou Thorn History Mansion, feasted Zhou Xuan and his party, and staggered their plans. It's very lively.

Xiahou Tassel secretly went out of the mansion, went to the land of fireworks in Hongzhou alone, and found Mingyulou, but still did not get a reply from Lian Chang Gongzi, Xiahou Tassel had to return to the Thorn History Mansion, discussed with the maid Yu'er in a whisper, and decided to continue to follow Zhou Xuan to Jiangzhou. At this time, if he leaves without permission, he will definitely blame Gongzi Lian Chang for missing a major event, Zhou Xuan will stay in Jiangzhou for at least half a month, and Gongzi Lianchang will have enough time to come and arrange.

The little maid Yu'er said in her heart: "It's Miss Xiahou who doesn't want to leave Zhou Xuan, I have heard a lot in Mingyulou, and the woman always remembers her first man, alas, Miss will have a hard time in the future." ”

Xiahou Tassel didn't think about it so much, she was in a one-sided love, she thought: "Qingyuan should be able to be safe with Tang Guo." Then I'll always be Zhou Xuan's concubine. But when she thought of Chen Si'an's ambition, she was nervous, afraid that things would not be as simple as she thought.

Because he missed the two little wives in Jiangzhou, Zhou Xuan said goodbye to Chen Shu the next day and set off for Jiangzhou, and the forty-four Fenghua soldiers were also like arrows, and the journey on the road was quite fast, and they arrived at the east gate of Jiangzhou at the end of May 16.

At this time, the gate of the city tower was closed, leaving only a small door to enter and exit, General Qi shouted the door, and the captain guarding the city gate took a look. The moonlight was bright, and seeing that it was Judge Fan and General Qi, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and greet them.

Zhou Xuan first accompanied the Lin sisters to Chaoyangfang Duhu Mansion, and some government soldiers had already reported first. Lin Dai and his eldest son and second son greeted him outside the door. Dozens of red lanterns were bright in front of the square.

Lin Hanyun rode the "crane in the clouds" and rushed forward, shouting happily: "Daddy." Daddy, my daughter is back! ”

Lin Dai strode up, grabbed the bridle, helped Lin Hanyun dismount, grabbed Lin Hanyun's upper arm with both hands, looked at it carefully, and said happily: "Hanyun, you have grown a lot taller." ”

Zhou Xuan dismounted and bowed: "Uncle, the little nephew is back." ”

Lin Dai hurriedly helped him up, and also looked at Zhou Xuan carefully, I haven't seen him for half a year, Zhou Xuan's bearing is a lot more graceful, it is not the white young man who was in Jiangzhou last year, it is he Lin Dai who has the wisdom of knowing people, seeing that Zhou Xuanfei is a thing in the pool, he put his arm and smiled: "The heroic deeds of the virtuous nephew in Beijing really make my uncle happy, and my uncle is looking forward to your return every day." ”

Fairy Jingyi got out of the carriage at this time, took off her veil and saluted her father, and met her eldest brother and second brother again, and the family smiled.

Zhou Xuanjin sat in the capital for a while, told Lin Dai a brief description of the affairs in Beijing, and then left.

Lin Dai didn't keep him, sent him out of the door, and said: "The virtuous nephew is eager to return home, and I will wash the dust for the virtuous nephew tomorrow." ”

Zhou Xuan and cumin, the three idiot couples, the Xiahou tassel master maid, and five carriages headed towards the Vermilion Bird Fang.

Vermilion Bird Fang is very close to Chaoyang Fang, only one mile of road, come to the door of Zhoufu, see the town house lion mighty, red lanterns are high, a group of wealthy family high scene.

Cumin was already impatient to step forward and knock on the door, and shouted sharply: "Open the door and open the door, my uncle is back!" Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered something, grabbed cumin and whispered: "Cumin, don't say that Miss Lin Er still has a princess in front of them, understand?" ”

Cumin smiled sweetly: "Uncle, don't worry, Cumin understands that you can't say anything that hasn't been done." ”

"This little girl!" Zhou Xuan shook his head and smiled.

The vermilion gate opened, and Ding Wangcai and Ding Desheng came out with one left and one right, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Uncle is back, Uncle is back!" ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly signaled them to silence, he wanted to quietly go into the backyard and surprise the finch.

Zhou Xuan's six people passed through the side alleys and corridors until the third entrance, and Zhou Xuan went to ask his father-in-law and mother-in-law first.

Zhou Xuan has been to Jinling for nearly half a year, and he wrote three letters back, and there is more news from the Duhu Mansion, and he learned that the virtuous son-in-law was promoted all the way, and the old couple really dreamed of waking up with laughter, Mrs. Qin took Dr. Qin so far, saying that the old man has a vision, and he can pick up such a good son-in-law halfway.

Mrs. Qin said: "The virtuous son-in-law hasn't gone to the finch yet, come, let's go together, the finch will cry out happily, and there is also a sewing needle, the sewing needle is six months pregnant, and her belly is not small, and she has been counting the days and waiting for you to come back." ”

Before the group of people reached the fourth gate, cumin couldn't hold her breath and shouted, "Miss Finch, Miss Finch, my uncle is back!" ”

I heard Qin Que's voice inside the courtyard wall and said angrily: "Which little girl came to lie to me again, how could my husband come back in this night!" - Oh, no, it's cumin's voice - cumin! There was a big surprise in his voice.

"Hey!" Cumin replied, "It's cumin, miss, cumin is back." He ran in as fast as he could.

Dr. Qin and the old couple looked at Zhou Xuan and smiled, and Dr. Qin said: "The virtuous son-in-law has been away from home for half a year, and the whole house misses it very much, so there are often maids and servants who joke that the uncle is back, and the finch has been deceived a few timesβ€”β€”"

"Husbandβ€”"

Qin Que rushed out, and saw Zhou Xuan under the bright moonlight at a glance, just like he had seen in several dreams, smiling like that, Qin Que stopped suddenly, and the lovesickness burst out for several months, looking at Zhou Xuan, tears couldn't stop flowing.

Zhou Xuanyi stepped forward and hugged her, turned half a circle in the air, kissed her on the lips, and said, "Que'er, I miss you so much." ”

"Husband-husband-"

The sewing needle rushed out with a shy stomach and a support of one hand, and the two maids chased after him and shouted: "Miss Needle, be careful, don't run!" ”

Zhou Xuan put down Qin Que, took Qin Que's hand and hurried over, and the needle pounced over regardless of his big belly, and he was also crying with joy.
