Chapter 13: Beauty Grace
The night was getting darker, and a bright moon hung high in the night sky, clear and clear.
On the far road, a horse-drawn carriage came and stopped outside the gate. The horse pulling the cart was tall and strong, shaking its head restlessly and snorting.
Tian Wei staggered out of the car, his body shaking. The coachman hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "You wait to be careful." ”
"It's okay!" Tian Wei pushed the driver and said a little vaguely: "You have spent a day with me, go and rest!" Lead the horses to the backyard so that they can be fed and drank. ”
As he spoke, he entered the mansion gate, and a guard stepped forward and said, "The king waits for ......."
Tian Wei waved his hand, ignored it, walked to the front hall, raised his eyes and saw a person standing under the lamp, and said in surprise: "Who?" What are you doing here?"
Under the light, the man smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and he slowly saluted Tian Wei, lightly opened his lips, and his voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, "Liu Ling, the king of Huainan, doesn't know that the king is waiting to return to his home, and he is not welcome." ”
"Lord Huainan Wang?" Tian Wei hiccuped, raised his sleeves to hide his cough, and said with a smile: "Since I was removed from the post of captain, it is rare for someone to come to the door. ”
Liu Ling chuckled lightly and said respectfully: "My father entrusted my little daughter to prepare a small gift to thank you for taking care of her for many years. The little girl waited for a day, disturbing the king, and the little girl was terrified. ”
"Oh? Oh. Tian Wei calmed down, took a few steps closer, looked at the person in front of him carefully, and said with a smile: "The weather is cold, it's hard for the lord to wait for me." You may be seated! ”
"Xie Junhou." Liu Lingjiao thanked her, and slowly knelt down on the ebony case.
"Hurry up and make tea!" Tian Wei sat down sideways, turned his head and commanded loudly, not forgetting to add: "Use the tea given back by the Queen Mother." ”
Liu Ling listened and smiled slightly.
"I wonder what your father has to say?" Tian Wei stared at the beauty in front of him with a smile and asked softly.
"My father took the guest to write a three-volume "Huainan Honglie", and I sent it to ask you to take a look." Liu Ling pointed to the bamboo slips on the table, and opened a wooden box, full of pearls, jade, purple and gold toys, and said: "Prepare another thin gift for you to enjoy." ”
"Thank you for your father's love and teach me how to dare to be." Tian Wei smiled, and said eagerly: "I want to read your father's masterpiece well." ”
"Please take a look." Liu Ling held up a roll of bamboo slips with both hands.
Tian Wei took it with both hands, and his fingertips seemed to inadvertently gently brush the back of Liu Ling's hand.
Liu Ling lowered his head and smiled, his pulse silent.
Tian Wei became more and more fascinated, unfolded the bamboo slips, and knew every word, but he didn't read half a word into his mind, only stared at Liu Ling, and said: "Okay!" Good! Great book! Every word is fine. ”
'I have long heard that Tian Wei was from a humble background, ugly in appearance, relying on the power of his sister, and was bent on marrying a famous and noble girl, so he has never married until now. It's too easy to deal with such a greedy cat now. Liu Ling secretly wished.
……
In a moment, the servant brought the prepared tea, but the hall was empty.
"Where's the king? What about the guests? The servant stood there blankly with the tea-tray in his hand.
The housekeeper followed up with a smile, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, no need." ”
"The ...... who just ordered the tea was served," the servant wondered.
"What a fool who doesn't know anything!" The housekeeper scolded with a smile: "Jun Hou has gone to the back hall." Isn't it possible that you still have to send it in! Don't pestle here! Let's go! ”
"Ahh The servant was speechless and walked away with the tea tray.
。
Outside Chang'an City, Ba Shang.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, entered Beijing to see him, and there were many accompanying cars, and the long procession saw the beginning and the end, and pressed the ground.
Wu'an Hou Tian Wei personally set up a tent to greet him, and he has been waiting for a long time. Seeing the banner umbrella cover of King Huainan from afar, Tian Wei's face turned into a chrysanthemum.
Liu An's Zhu Lun canopy car was driven by a horse, and the four horses were all fiery red, without a trace of variegation. When the team stopped, Liu An got out of the car and said, "Liu An, the king of Huainan, has seen Jun Hou. ”
'Sure enough, it is the grandson of Emperor Gaozu, and his aura is extraordinary! Seeing Liu An's high-crowned gorgeous clothes, fair complexion, deep eyebrows, and three locks of long beard fluttering under his chin, Tian Wei secretly admired, did not dare to hold it up, returned the salute deeply, and said loudly: "From Huainan to Chang'an, all the way to the dust, the king is tired." Your Majesty is entangled in trivial matters, so he sent me here to greet him. ”
