Chapter 086: The heart is like a plain and a horse
Happy times are always short-lived. At the right time, stepping on the lingering sound of the first change drum, Trinity, who was still unfinished, returned to Chang'an City surrounded by Li Zaixing and others.
Originally, according to Trinity's meaning, no matter how late it was, she could freely enter and leave Chang'an City, and she didn't have to worry about any night curfew, she could have fun and come back in the middle of the night. But Li Zaixing refused, he thought that this time out to play was an unauthorized action, her parents were afraid that they were already in a hurry at the moment, and were sending people to look for her everywhere, if she didn't return at night, it would not only damage her reputation, but also make her parents worried.
This is not in line with filial piety.
I didn't come home until midnight, this time I had a lot of fun, but her parents would definitely step up their care because they were worried, and they wouldn't give her such a chance again, and it would be difficult to come up with it next time. It's better to accept it when you see it, and leave them with a good impression that they know the measure, so that they can rest assured that they can be more accommodating when they think about it next time.
In a few days it will be the Shangsi Festival, and there will be a whole night to play, so why bother to lose a big deal for the pleasure of this hour or two?
Trinity felt that Li Zaixing was reasonable, and although she was a little reluctant, she honestly followed back to the city. After entering Chang'an City, Pei Xuanqing breathed a long sigh of relief. In any case, if this aunt was brought back unscathed, he would not have been punished too severely.
The group entered the city and passed through Jinggongfang again. When Li Zaixing saw the unhappy face of the Tsing Yi slave in front of Yang Hui's mansion, he gave Al Maidi a look. Almadi understood, naturally turned around, and said to Trinity, who was protected by her, "Little lady, have you ever been to the Zoroastrian Temple here, and have you heard of the true meaning of Ahula?" ”
Without waiting for Trinity to speak, the big pole in El Maddie's hand made a circle and swept the lantern hanging in front of the door of the Yang family, with a "pop", the lantern fell to the ground, the lamp oil overflowed, and the "peng" burned up, and in a moment, the silk lantern burned to the skeleton.
The door slaves of the Yang family did not have a good impression of these arrogant and presumptuous rangers, but when they saw that their lanterns were burned, they were immediately furious, rushed up, and reached out to snatch the reins of El Maddie's horse. Al Maddie was prepared, flew up and kicked him to the ground, while shouting: "Bold, want to be rude?" ”
Seeing that this orchid was fierce, the slave of the Yang family picked up his own lantern, not only did not apologize, but instead beat people, he was immediately angry, rushed up, and surrounded him. One of them rushed in front of Trinity, grabbed Trinity's reins, and saw that Trinity was good-looking, just a handmaiden, and blurted out foul language.
Trinity was originally a little regretful, and was scolded by this Tsing Yi door slave, and suddenly became angry, and shouted: "Call me!" ”
Before the words fell, Al Maddy answered: "Wow! The big pole in his hand lightly picked up the lantern on the other side and knocked it to the ground, and at the same time stabbed three times in a row, knocking the three Tsing Yi door slaves to the ground, and the blood flowed.
When the Yang family slave saw it, he was shocked, and he didn't dare to step forward easily, so as not to be poisoned by Al Maidi.
"Get out of here, death to those who stand in my way." Pei Xuanqing saw that something was wrong, he didn't dare to slack off, shouted loudly, kicked his hip and dismounted, rushed away from the door slave in front of him, and ran towards Anyifang. Li Zaixing and the others immediately followed, tightly protected Trinity in the middle, and walked away under the angry gaze of the Yang family's slaves.
When Yang Wei heard the news and rushed out to check, Li Zaixing and the others had already arrived at Anyifang. learned from the mouth of the door slave that it was Pei Xuanqing from Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion, Yang Xun was so angry that his face turned pale, but he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
At the gate of Cui's mansion, Cui Niti stopped her horse and looked at Li Zaixing with a smile: "Don't say goodbye?" ”
"I'd better go in and meet Ling Zun and Ling Tang, otherwise, the little lady is afraid that she won't be able to make a deal."
Trinity shook her body on the horse's back and shook her whip: "If you go, you can make an errand?" ”
"If someone has to take responsibility, of course it's better for me to take responsibility." Li Zaixing smiled, paused, and said, "Maybe, they will give me a face, and they can give the little lady a little more opportunity to travel in the future." ”
Trinity listened, her eyes flashed, and her eyes looked at Li Zaixing a little strangely. She thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay, just let me see your clever tongue." ”
……
Cui Nidi's father, secretary and supervisor Cui Xun was furious, and Mrs. Han had a cold face and did not say a word, but her expression was very stern, obviously very dissatisfied with her daughter's private travel, and even more angry at Li Zaixing's audacity.
"You're so bold, if something happens, can you afford to take this responsibility?"
Li Zaixing arched his hand, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Master Cui is angry, please listen to me." ”
"What else do you have to say?"
"It is indeed my sin to protect Ai out of the city without the permission of Lord Cui. However, I did it with good intentions. ”
Cui Xun sneered: "Good intentions? What kind intentions can you have, the little girl has been engaged to the king of Guangping, the words of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, but she will not regret it. Even if you don't have this family business, she is not something you can covet. ”
"Yes, Ling Ai is a heroine among women, a heroine, and it is indeed not something I dare to covet. However, it is precisely because she has a marriage contract with King Guangping that I feel it is necessary to let her travel in micro-clothes, see all things in the world, the secular people's feelings, and be a virtuous queen like the eldest grandson queen in the future, assisting Mingjun and mothering the world. Master Cui is full of poetry and books, and he doesn't know that the prince and grandson grew up in the deep palace and were raised by women, and they need the help of a brave and knowledgeable virtuous person like Ling Ai, right? ”
Cui Xun was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "How can I not understand this truth, but she has a noble status, how can she act so recklessly?" What if something happens? ”
Li Zaixing gave his hand again: "Lord Cui's worries are heartfelt and beyond reproach. However, if you travel in full costume, what can Ling Ai see? Is it to leap horses and whip in front of everyone, bend bows and shoot arrows, or say a few painless official words with those selected five and three elders? ”
Cui Xun was speechless. Li Zaixing is right, if it is arranged by him, Cui Zhaoer will definitely not see the real world, and it will not be of any help in the future.
"As for ......safety," Li Zaixing smiled slightly: "Not to mention that Ling Ai is heroic and has ridden and shot people, let's just say that I and dozens of other people, all of whom are not bad, and they are all willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Ling Ai, can't they protect Ling Ai thoroughly?" Master Cui, my Datang hasn't been messed up to this point, has it? ”
Cui Xun looked at Li Zaixing, and didn't know what to say for a while. If he was just an ordinary subordinate, he would have been beaten out a long time ago, where would he be in the mood to listen to his noise. But Li Zaixing is different, this is a talent that Mrs. Qiu Guo has spent a lot of effort to invite, and he can't be too rude. What's more, Li Zaixing is reasonable, and he has no way to refute it.
Seeing that Cui Xun was silent, Li Zaixing turned around and said to Mrs. Han again: "Madam, knowing the daughter Mo Ruonu, Ling Ai is extremely talented, and refuses to hide in the boudoir like an ordinary daughter, Madame must know very well." If it is an eagle, it should spread its wings and fly high, and if it is a horse, it should gallop freely, and all restrictions may not be a good thing. Doesn't Madame feel that the return of spring makes love more cheerful? ”
Unlike Mrs. Qiuguo, Mrs. Han is actually a more gentle person, after listening to Li Zaixing's words, she thought about her daughter's excited appearance just now, and couldn't help but soften her heart a little. However, she still refused to easily echo Li Zaixing, in case she played wild, how could she get it.
"Having said that, the heart is like a plain to let go of a horse, easy to let go and difficult to receive. At my daughter's house, I have a family affair again, so it's better to be more stable. Mrs. Han waved her hand: "Today's matter, let's stop here, and don't take it as an example." ”
Li Zaixing shook his head regretfully, didn't say anything more, bowed down, and withdrew.
As soon as he left, Cui Zhao'er jumped out of it and pouted, "Daddy, Grandma, you can't do this." It was my own idea to sneak out today, how could he stop me as an attendant. ”
"How dare you talk more?" Cui Xun was full of anger.
"Daddy......" Cui Zhao'er jumped to Cui Xun's side again, hugged his arm and shook it: "It's me who is wrong." However, when I went out, I did see a lot of things that I wouldn't normally see, which was an eye-opener. Moreover, this Li Zaixing is very knowledgeable, and even Shen Zhongchang, a new science and technology jinshi, admires him. How can such a talent be monopolized by the third aunt, and my daughter is also seeking talent for my Cui family. ”
Cui Xun glanced at her, crying and laughing. When Mrs. Han heard this, she turned her anger into a laugh: "Girl, you can't let your third aunt hear this, otherwise she will be very angry." The talents recruited by the two dragon descending trees were robbed by you, is there such a cheap thing? ”
Cui Xun asked in surprise, "What dragon descending wood?" ”
"Daddy, don't you know, Li Zaixing's marksmanship is really amazing......" Cui Zhao'er said with a fluttering eyebrow.
……
After leaving Cui's mansion, he went to Pei's house again, and said the same thing again, although Mrs. Qiu Guo was not as disappreciative as Mrs. and Mrs. Han, she did not speak out to support it. But Li Zaixing is not worried. As Mrs. Han said, the heart is like a flat horse, easy to let go and difficult to collect, Cui Zhaoer's interest has been provoked, and the trip to Xinfeng will inevitably become one of the goals of her longing. With her self-styled personality, the longer this desire is suppressed, the stronger it becomes, and as soon as she has the opportunity, she will ignore it and walk away. And he just wants to use this fleeting opportunity to assassinate Yang Wei and Li Linfu.
If it weren't for this purpose, he wouldn't be interested in dealing with the Yang family. Don't look at the current Yang family's power in the world, but he knows that it won't last long, and in a few years, everything will be wiped out and come to naught. There was no need for him to hang himself on the Yang family's bent-necked tree.
Now that the seed has been planted, all he has to do is wait quietly for it to sprout and blossom
