Chapter Fifty-Nine: By the Abyss Lake
Xiao Yixuan once asked Qiao Shiyin for the matter, only in the folk to find the traces of famous ministers in the previous life, so Qiao Minmin's words made him surprised and surprised, I think he had asked Qiao Shiyin for only a few days? The power of the Jucai firm should not be underestimated!
"Where's the list?"
The next moment, Xiao Yixuan couldn't wait to ask, and then saw Qiao Min smile and took out a delicate small scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yixuan, the latter hurriedly opened it after the result, and saw a few small words written on the scroll: 'Your Highness, since the concubine was entrusted by His Royal Highness, she has tried her best to find it, and she dare not slack off, fortunately, she has been blessed by God, and finally found two people on the list in Pingyang, Hedong yesterday, who are Wei Qing and Huo Quai's uncle and nephew. The concubine thought that it was the same as the person His Royal Highness thought, and it should also be able to help in the same vein, and please don't be impatient, since the day the letter was sent, the concubine rushed to the capital with someone to help the two of them pack up, and it is expected to arrive soon, Qiao Shiyin respectfully.

After reading it carefully, Xiao Yixuan's heart was uncontrollable, Wei Qing and Huo Quai, these two Western Han generals in their previous lives, one broke the Huns, sealed the wolf Juxu, and the other attacked Longcheng, recovered Heshuo and Hetao, and defeated Shan Yu, but they are all rare generals who have been passed down through the ages! But I didn't expect that in just two days, Qiao Shiyin helped me find it!
Not to mention what Xiao Yixuan was thinking, on the other hand, seeing Xiao Yixuan slowly rolling up the scroll and putting it away in a trance, Qiao Minmin was nervous, and immediately asked each other: "Your Highness has finished reading?" ”
"After reading it, after I am done, I will say thank you to Qiao Dongjia on my behalf, and tell her that my promise in that day is valid for life."
After replying like this, Xiao Yixuan continued: "By the way, I don't know if Sister Qiao has time, can you go to Xiyuan Lake with me?" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it should be a great honor for Qiao Minmin, a people's daughter, and it would have been of great help to the future of his own business, but when Qiao Minmin heard this, he somehow had a fear in his heart, and his mind turned sharply, and he actually responded hard: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but this drunken fairy building still needs to be watched by the people's daughter, otherwise if there is anything wrong, the people's daughter will be scolded by the owner." ”
"Or else? I think it's because you don't go with me, you will be scolded by Qiao Dong's family! ”
Hearing this, he saw Xiao Yixuan debunk the other party's excuse with one word, and then saw the other party's face show a shocked expression, so he didn't blame it at the moment, and continued to laugh and said: "That's it!" Since Sister Qiao is afraid of me now, I won't be embarrassed, let's get back together next time! ”
After that, he raised his feet and walked down the stairs, turned over the Molong BMW, and said to Liu Wengui, who was already waiting aside: "Get up!" ”
Looking at Xiao Yixuan who was leaving, Qiao Minmin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, until the shadows of the other party and the others had completely disappeared from her field of vision, she suddenly realized how stupid she was to refuse Xiao Yixuan just now, the prince invited, that should be what many women in the world dream of? What's more, he is still such a young, handsome and talented prince?
Thinking about it, Qiao Minmin gradually came out of her mind, and even the shopkeeper on the side didn't hear her call, and it was not until a long time before she finally woke up, so she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh bitterly, thinking in her heart: This little guy is really good at tossing people...
Xiyuan Lake, is a big lake fifteen miles away from the downtown of the capital, covers a huge area, I don't know how, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the sun is shining, the breeze is swirling, as if it is not stained with a little miasma in the world, there is a gentle slope of the flower plain, there are mountains in the distance, it is the longest place for the nobles and ladies in the capital to visit on weekdays, from a distance, the lake that spreads for more than ten miles is early, all of them are three or three or two pieces of figures, they either gather around to chant poems against each other, or along the lake to visit the scenery, on the other side, On the sparkling lake, dozens of pleasure boats float quietly, and from time to time there is the sound of the piano and the sound of the piano comes from above, and occasionally you can see the dancing Taoist shadows on the painting boat from a distance, which is really poetic and picturesque, so pleasant.
It's just that this leisurely time was completely broken by the sudden arrival of a group of people, who were none other than a group of freshly dressed and bright-armored soldiers!
The soldiers, all cavalry, numbering about a battalion, immediately abandoned their horses and walked on foot, while a small group of men were placed in a grove not far away, while most of the rest spread out in a circle, dispersing the crowd that was touring in its own way, and taking up the largest and most scenic clearing on the edge of the lake.
This kind of behavior of the soldiers naturally caused strong dissatisfaction among the tourists, you know, among these people, there are many children of the powerful in Beijing, and some people jumped out to protest loudly at the moment, and many people shouted to move out of the name of the elders in the family, but in this regard, the soldiers were as if they had not heard of it, and they stuck to their place without saying a word.
This kind of chaos did not last long, everyone saw, not far from the forest road, once again floating in the sky of smoke and dust, but it was a long convoy, this convoy drove extremely fast, just stopped from the side of the road, and then from the inside of a large number of people, everyone looked intently, and saw that among this group of people, there are not only aristocratic sons, literati scholars, but also rich ladies, actors, and even many Qinglou women who know their identities at a glance, all of which add up, there are almost 200 people up and down!
As soon as they got off the carriage, they immediately trotted towards the flat place by the lake, which had been occupied by a group of soldiers, and at the same time, there were more people dressed as family members, one by one, carrying benches and long tables, and hurriedly setting them up there, these family members moved very fast, and in a short time, a temporary banquet hall was built on the originally empty open space, with curtains and high carpets, tables, chairs and benches, everything, and even looking back, next to the carriage, there are more maids who will serve a slip of wine, melons, fruits, and various dishes to this side, making the whole lake in full swing!
After a while, the arrangement was all completed, and at this time, the later vote did not dare to run around, so they sat on the seat honestly and decently, leaving only a few seats, as if waiting for something, and among the people who visited the lake before, they saw that there were many famous nobles in Beijing in this group of people, Miss Dahu, and immediately understood that there must be something important here, and no longer shouted, but watched from afar.
The people inside, the soldiers in the middle, and the people outside, such a strange atmosphere lasted for half an hour, until the onlookers outside were impatient to wait, and then there was finally movement.
At first, the onlookers didn't feel anything, but the closer the team walked, the more they felt that something was wrong, until the appearance of the other party finally appeared clearly in their eyes, they suddenly found that although the number of people in this team was small, they were all dressed in dark yellow clothes!
Like many other dynasties, yellow, in the Dayue Dynasty, is the special color of the royal family, and some people who have seen the world know that the dark yellow on this team is the color of the official uniforms of those inner guards in the palace!
Sure enough, before there was a commotion here, I saw that everyone in the banquet got up and left the table, and then trotted all the way to the side of the official road, knelt down in unison, and saluted loudly: "We welcome His Royal Highness the Prince!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
After shouting in unison, the onlookers here finally exploded!
Not to mention the chaotic situation here, on the other hand, Xiao Yixuan has already come to the side of the official road under the guidance of Liu Cui and the others, and he was slightly stunned when he saw the situation here--- these two goods only said that there were literati here, the girl in the Qinglou, as he saw at this time, the number of the rich son and the daughter accounted for the majority, two or three times as much as the former, but after being slightly stunned, he was also suddenly, knowing that these guys must have heard the wind from Liu Cui's subordinates, and voluntarily ran to climb the relationship and became familiar with each other.
Sure enough, in front of Xiao Yixuan, Liu Zhaozhao and Cui Kejian saw so many people here, and their faces suddenly drooped, but the prince was at present, but they were not good at scolding these bastard fools who heard the wind, so they respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yixuan and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”
"Well, you don't have to be formal, let's all get up."
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan raised his voice to give an order to everyone present, and in the continuous thanks of everyone, he led his little eunuch and the three guests into the table.
Xiao Yixuan sat on the upper seat, on either side of his head, Mu Jingjing, Ji Yun and Zeng Guofan sat there, on his right hand, Liu Zhaozhao and Cui Kejian, and the position on his right hand was vacant, probably reserved for Xiao Yilian, the third child who had not yet arrived.
"Your Highness."
At this time, I saw Cui Kejian take the lead in holding a glass of wine, signaling to Xiao Yixuan, and after getting the other party's nod and approval, he turned to the crowd and said: "Everyone, this time there is this banquet, it is ordinary, but because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciates the light, it makes this Xiyuan Lake shine, and it is also a great blessing in life to be able to drink at the same table with His Royal Highness the Prince!" I, Cui Kejian and my brother Liu Zhaozhao, are especially grateful, although I don't know how you feel, but I feel that I should give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a glass first! ”
"To His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
As soon as Cui Kejian finished speaking, everyone present immediately echoed in unison and acted according to his words.
