Wang Wei had to go to various homes for several days in the first day of March, and the scheduled departure was on the eighth day of the first month of March. Coincidentally, Du Shiyi also had various invitations that could not be pushed away in the next few days, and the two made an appointment to set off together at that time. However, just when Du Shiyi went to the luncheon and dinner a total of five times in three days, this rì afternoon, he returned to Cui's house with a drunken body, and when his steps were vain and weak, he saw Du Shisanniang who was looking forward to it in front of the courtyard gate.

"Brother!"

Du Sanniang hurriedly stepped forward, held Du Shiyi's arm for Tian Mo, and motioned for him to retreat, and then said in a low voice: "Brother, Mrs. Yue in Anguo Temple asked a master Mingguang in the temple to send a message, saying that it was ...... Say yes ......"

Seeing that Du Shiyi's body suddenly stiffened, she turned her heart sideways and said the most difficult sentence to spit out: "The sage recruited everyone to go to the Lin De Hall of Chang'an Daming Palace to perform a sword dance!" ”

Daming Palace Linde Hall ...... It is one of the largest palaces in the entire Daming Palace, and it has always been a place where the palace gives banquets and banquets to the envoys of Fanbang. As a Gongsun aunt who devoted herself to sword dancing and even vowed not to marry in front of people, there is no bigger stage than that! However, after this sword dance, can that peerless and ** woman still walk out of the deep palace with her own liliang?

After taking a deep breath, Du Shiyi asked in a deep voice, "Lady Yue only let people bring such a sentence?" What do you say? ”

That's all that Lady Yue brought. I said, please take care of your grandson all the way. Du Sanniang said the latter sentence, glanced at her brother with some anxiety, and saw him nodding with a smile, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then added, "But that Master Mingguang also asked me to tell Brother A, saying that the little novice you saw last time left Luoyang safely a few days ago to go to Songshan Shaolin Temple, and asked me to transfer this to Brother A, saying that the little monk gave it to Brother A." ”

Taking the things handed over by Du Sanniang, Du Shiyi looked down, but saw a string of ebony Buddha beads, lubricated with a deep luster, obviously some years old. Knowing that the ten ** was the little monk Luo Ying's own thing, he was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile, and then put the letter on his left wrist. His strange behavior immediately attracted Du Sanniang's surprised questioning.

"Didn't Brother never believe in Buddhism before?"

"That was a time ago." Du Shiyi shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and when he kicked off his shoes and dragged his heavy steps into the room, he sat down on the couch with his ass, and after a moment of daze, he said to Du Sanniang, "Have you forgotten that Grandpa and Auntie trust dreams, and the Immortal Monarch sends blessings, so that I can regain my vitality miraculously?" Buddhism also has the theory of reincarnation, which must not be believed, and of course not fully believed. Thirteen Niang, these years have either let you stay alone in the thatched house, or let you live in other homes, in the future, Brother will definitely let you live a comfortable life, and choose the most haode husband for you! ”

Du Sanniang only felt that every word made sense, but when it came to Zuihou, she couldn't help but blush her cheeks, and then said with a smile: "Brother, let's take care of myself first!" When I came over today, Jiu Niangzi came over again in the guise of Cui Shiyilang, and asked others about you in a matter-of-fact manner. I don't look like she's just for the fifth lady, maybe ......"

"Stop, stop!" Du Shiyi looked at Du Sanniang, who was smiling slyly, and couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, "It's really the world's style and people's hearts are not ancient, I didn't expect that even you learned to make fun of my brother, hey, it seems that the female is not left, otherwise how can you guess what the nine ladies are thinking?" ”

"Brother!" Du Sanniang's originally slightly flushed face suddenly turned red, she shouted angrily, and when Du Shiyi hahadaxiao, she turned her head and sat down angrily, until a warm voice came from behind her, "All in all, you don't have to be blind to this kind of thing, we will leave on the eighth day of the third month of March." No matter how capable she is, it is usually easy to leave the house, but it is impossible to go out of Luoyang to keep up with us. As for whether the Cui family has such meaning, there is no need to worry about it for the time being! It's ......."

Thinking that Aunt Gongsun should also be on her way, Du Shiyi couldn't help but want to go to Anguo Temple to see the strange woman who danced with a sword and moved in all directions. However, not to mention whether the person is still staying in Anguo Temple now, that is, after the news that he has been summoned by the Son of Heaven spreads, Aunt Gongsun's body is bound to gather more eyes than before, so why should he trouble her? Now he still can't catch it!

Although Yue Wuniang only sent a message to Du Shiyi, but for such a big matter, the well-informed nobles of the Eastern Capital knew the news that the Son of Heaven summoned Gongsun Auntie to dance in the Linde Hall of Daming Palace in Chang'an. For Aunt Gongsun, who was only famous among the people before, this is undoubtedly a rare honor in ancient and modern times, but there are not a few people who sigh secretly. Especially when Cui Jiuniang thought of the intentions she showed when she taught her a few swordsmanship skills in the past, she was even more angry for her. Therefore, after learning that Anguo Temple sent a letter to Du Shiyi, Du Shiyi didn't react as if she was nothing, and she couldn't help but be even more despised.

Du Shiyi was so anxious about his mentor Lu Hong before, and even bowed down to ask her for help, but he helped Gongsun Auntie save the scene a few times ago, and he was clearly in love, Gongsun Auntie was summoned to the court, but he didn't care, how can such a man be reliable! If Sister really likes this kind of person, she will definitely understand it now, and she can sit back and relax!

This night, Cui Zhenzhen, the ninth lady of the Cui family, slept soundly, while Cui Hong, the fifth lady of the Cui family, slept with her mother. Because of the weakness of the body and the ancient rite of filial piety in the grass house, it was really difficult for Mrs. Li of Zhao Guo to insist, but she couldn't persuade Cui Gezhi, who was also weak but insisted on staying in the grass house, so she could only pour bitter water on her daughter. Speaking of worries, she couldn't help but wet her clothes with tears, and one hand grabbed the eldest daughter's hand tightly.

"Wu Niang, tell me, is your grandfather too unconcerned about himself? If your grandmother had a spirit in heaven, she would have been distressed to know that he had been so saddened! She has always felt most sorry for your grandfather's little son, but although your grandfather has brought her Mrs. Qi Guotai's destiny with his merits, he has not been able to fulfill his filial piety by her side for many years, and she doesn't know how much she looks forward to him being reunited by her side, who ......knows" Li Shi couldn't cry as he spoke, and it took a long time for him to stop under Cui Wuniang's persuasion

stopped sobbing, and then said in a low voice, "By the way, Zhenzhen mentioned to me that when Du Jiulang returns to Chang'an this time, you might as well let ......"

It wasn't until the beginning of the journey that Du Shiyi, who was originally going to go directly out of Changxiamen Street to meet Wang Wei's brothers, got an unexpected news - the Cui family actually stuffed a trouble for him!

Not one, but two, to be precise. Cui Xiaochubby, who is known as Cui Twenty-five Lang, has an uncooperative and unreasonable attitude when he sees him, while Cui Qiniang is shy and shy to hide behind his brother's ball of meat, this scene always makes him feel depressed. But before leaving, Zhao Guo's wife Li personally entrusted him to take them to the capital, and his maternal uncle Wang's family would come to pick them up, so he could only reluctantly agree. And the smug smile on Cui Jiuniang's face, who was about to leave Mrs. Li's bedroom, helped Mrs. Li to send him, so he had to feel that it was this little girl who made him a stumbling block. And because Cui Gezhi was still serving filial piety in the grass house, he was unwell and did not have zaijian him, so he only asked people to piggyback on a sentence, saying that he wished him a smooth journey and a happy career.

And Cui Wuniang sent him to the door of Cui's house with Cui Jianxuan, which made the maid behind him hold a burden: "Du Jiulang, Jingzhao Mansion test from July to September, Jinshike is often between the first month and February, one is the end of summer and early autumn, one is cold winter, one is hot and one is cold, here is a silk robe and light fur, the silk robe is the most breathable, the heat does not invade, the light fur is the most cold, and it is not bulky to wear." There are also special antifreeze oils that have miraculous effects on frostbite of hands and feet, as well as anti-heatstroke pills. As for the test kits, when you arrive in Chang'an, you might as well have someone customize a set for you. As for gloves, no matter how light and thin they are, it will affect the writing, your handwriting is excellent, if it is a pity that the writing is sluggish because of this, remember not to use ......"

These reminders flowed into the ears like a clear spring under the stone, even Du Shiyi, who was a little wary of the fifth lady of the Cui family before, couldn't help but be moved in her heart, and thanked her after her instructions. However, after these words, Cui Wuniang suddenly withdrew from the maid behind her, and changed her words and said: "In addition, the son of General Wang that you mentioned to Shiyi Lang......"

As soon as these words came out, Cui Jianxuan's face was like dirt, and he couldn't have imagined that the matter he had ordered someone to investigate would be known to his sister. Even Du Shiyi couldn't help but glance at the unconscious Cui Jianxuan.

Cui Wuniang didn't seem to see the obvious difference between the two faces, and lowered her face and said: "General Wang, this person may not be familiar to others, but Grandpa has worked with him since the rebellion of the sage Ping Wei Shu, but he knows best. He had the first rat at both ends once, but the latter Taiping Princess Rebellion was his greatest credit, so the saint would trust him so much. And he has been supervising the pastoral care in the past few years, fair and strict, and the sage thinks that he can, for example, Song Xiangguo can advise the sage to let Jiang Jiao, the Duke of Chu, idle his post, but he has not said a word to General Wang, which shows that this can word is something that a prime minister like him has to admit it. ”

Regarding these hints of the DPRK and China, Du Shiyi is far away in the mountains, even if he can get a lot of news because of the Cui family, he is far less thorough than Cui Wuniang. And although Cui Jianxuan is not the first time to hear her sister talk about this, she still inevitably has an irrepressible thought.

How good would it be if my sister was a boy?

Cui Wuniang paused slightly, and then said casually: "It's just that fairness and strictness are external, but it is difficult to do it for your own people." General Wang originally had his wife Guo Shi as the wife of the country, but the sage was particularly favored, and he gave his wife the Li family and the wife of the country. A house with two housewives, Wang Shouzhen is the eldest son of the former Mrs. Qiuguo, General Wang was originally quite important, but the latter lady gave birth to two sons in a row, quite favored, although Mrs. Qiuguo is virtuous and generous, but it is inevitable that there will always be discord. Now that Gongsun has been ordered to go to Chang'an, he will not be afraid to make up his mind for the time being. As for General Wang's old friends and subordinates, there are even more domineering ones. He is a protective person, so most of the officials in the DPRK and China turn a blind eye to the people who commit crimes under his command...... In addition, the Cui house in Pingkangfang is also empty, if you want to live, if you feel inconvenient, you don't have to force it, after all, Fan Chuan Duqu is also clean......"

Cui Jianxuan held back until Cui Wuniang finished all the words, and said goodbye with a smile, he stepped forward and pulled Du Shiyi's sleeve to the side, and said in a low voice: "Sister, I have never even been so attentive to me, and this time I actually ordered so much!" Du Nineteen, I'm not like my sister who has prepared so many good things for you, seeing that the horse is not, I gave it to you, you can tame it when you look back, Chang'an every year when it comes to the examination and the imperial examination, the fresh clothes and angry horses swagger through the market, and if the horse is not good, no one will pay attention to you when you go to the minister's mansion! The saddle bridles are all picked by me for you, and they are all first-class goods wherever they are stored! ”

"Don't worry, I remember your affection." Du Shiyi was still pondering Cui Wuniang's kind admonitions, and at this moment she came back to her senses, so she nodded with a smile and said, "I asked Wu Jiu to go to Wangwushan, and then collect a few more skilled haode ink workers, and you pick a few proper people from your side to give him." Although the secret of the ink kiln cannot be kept for too long, it can be more for a while, and it will be better for a while in the future. When Chang'an makes a reputation, the inventory I left you, you can let people ship it slowly, if you don't understand, you might as well ask the five ladies for advice. ”

"What else do you need to say?" Cui Jianxuan snorted lightly, but when he thought that Zhang Xu's other dozen or so Mobao Du Shiyi were left to him, it would be very easy to publicize at that time, and he couldn't help but have a feeling of leaping and trying, "Don't worry, I will do things beautifully." Anyway, there are so many arrogant grasses in charge! Be careful on your own road, and don't fall off your horse carelessly! ”

Knowing that Cui Jianxuan was inconvenient to go out at the moment, he couldn't send himself out of the city, but in the face of this curse-like parting concern, he really couldn't cry or laugh. When he got out of the Wutou Gate in front of Cui's house and slowly walked out of the city along Changxiamen Street to the south, he couldn't help but look at the lush trees and spacious streets on both sides of the road again, and his mind was a little dazed for a while. After entering Luoyang twice, he finally wanted to return to Chang'an, which was extremely deep in his memory, but it was the first place he visited!

As the Changxia Gate got closer and closer, the road ahead seemed to be a little congested, and after the Cui family asked Du Shiyi, he didn't say a word to explore the way forward, and turned around after a while.

"It's Gongsun everyone who set off for Chang'an today, and all the people who entered and left the city crowded to watch, which blocked the road!"
