The wind and smoke warm the nest of the swallows, and the grass is light and rainy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Busy days always pass quickly, the people who went to check the coal mine came back with samples, and with Li Shimin's strong participation, Li Tai and Bai Qi signed a contract, and the people of the two families quietly ran over there to mine coal.

The old man Zhang who sold charcoal in Chang'an was invited to the Hou Mansion, and Bai Qi discussed with him in the mansion for a long time, and finally someone saw the old man Zhang walking out of the Hou Mansion very angrily, without saying a word, and leaving without looking back.

Soon after the old man Zhang arrived home, he gathered a group of old men who were in the charcoal business with him and chatted secretly for a long time, and when he came out, everyone scolded Meridian for being unkind.

The news of Taoyuan Village always reaches the ears of Chang'an people very quickly. The young and domineering Meridian Hou didn't know what tricks he was playing this time, and he didn't even let go of the old man Zhang who sold charcoal, looking at the angry face of the old man Zhang when he left the Hou Mansion, you could think of how much the poor old man Zhang had been wronged inside!

The young and upright imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory were angry, and they didn't want to listen to the opinions of their bosses at all, but only wanted to give full play to the function of the rumors, and they connected ten concerts in one day, pointing directly at the arrogant and domineering of the Meridian Marquis Baiqi, and bullying the people, causing the people to dare to be angry and dare not speak.

Wei Zheng watched coldly from the side, although he sometimes did not approve of the white chess approach, but it was only a political difference. But Bai Qi's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, Wei Zheng would never doubt it. Now, he felt that since someone wanted to die, he couldn't stop it, so let them go!

"The Meridian Marquis is young and doesn't do anything, and this matter will be handled by the queen!" Li Shimin's easy words blocked a group of passionate imperial historians from the Yushitai on the road to impeaching white chess.

Your Majesty is treating this matter as a family matter. The housework of the royal family, what are you meddling in the imperial history, do you want to find death! Now that Empress Changsun has sent someone to severely reprimand Ziwuhou, do you still want to continue to pretend to be stunned and continue to sue?

"Boy, what are you messing up again? Now that the entire Chang'an City is saying that you are bullying the people, can you let this palace worry about your little bastard for one less day! The eldest grandson's personal maid Yingniang cleared her throat and repeated the words in the eldest grandson's tone.

Bai Qi's eyes widened, and he asked very innocently: "Yingniang, wronged, boy, I have been staying at home, how can anyone give me a scourge, it will not harm the people in my own house!" ”

Yingniang snorted, covered her mouth and laughed, and continued to convey the words of the eldest grandson: "Niangniang said, Master Hou, you are a scourge spirit, and I want you to continue to be grounded at home. When the time comes, the mother is in a good mood, she will naturally withdraw your grounding order. ”

Looking at Yingniang who was walking away, Bai Qi scratched his head, holding a paper umbrella by himself, humming an inexplicable tune in his mouth, and walking slowly on the slippery bluestone slat.

"Uncle Liu, tomorrow Master Hou I want to have a treat, remember to leave the fattest pig to me!" Bai Qi walked down the street and shouted to the pork stall where business was booming. I am grounded, but I am not forbidden!

"Okay!" Uncle Liu, who was selling pork, responded with a smile and shouted, "Little Hou Ye, who are you going to invite this time?" ”

"It's General Cheng and them, isn't this the end of spring ploughing, I want to invite these elders to come over for a meal and express filial piety!"

Uncle Liu gave a thumbs up, and his face felt honored, and even his voice couldn't help but raise a few points: "Little Marquis, those people in Chang'an will only have long tongues, and you will be in the village in the future, and you won't go anywhere!" ”

Isn't the simple villager trying to save face? You see, which of your families in Chang'an often has people like the prince, the prince, and General Cheng to visit the door, and our lord has it! The people in your Chang'an are jealous of our young and promising Hou Ye!

White walked around the village and came back in a much better mood. As soon as the mood was good, he ran into the kitchen, snatched a plate of roast duck from the cook's hand, and swaggered with the plate in the eyes of everyone, sat on the second floor of the study, opened the window, and looked in the direction of Luoyang through the misty drizzle. On the Grand Canal, boats come and go, and there are big boats along the Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal, Hangou, and Jiangnan River, all the way south, to the Jiangnan Water Town, which is more than 2,000 miles away from Chang'an.

Bai Qi looked at the hazy smoke and rain in front of him, thinking about the letter, and was a little stunned.

Yu Hang.

The sky is blue and the rain is full of smoke, and the boys and girls on the riverbank are holding paper umbrellas, slowly walking in this continuous spring rain picture.

Not far away, there is a huge wharf, from time to time there are merchant ships from all over the world sailing into the wharf, among which the merchant ships of Chang'an and Luoyang are the most atmospheric. Although it can't be compared to a warship like the Great Ship of the Five Teeth, it has at least two floors and is loaded with full cargo. Among these merchant ships from Chang'an and Luoyang, the merchant ships of Yan Song and Situ Hao were the largest and luxurious, and they carried the most goods, and they were also the most popular.

Walk past the pier and continue on, through the hustle and bustle of people, through the tall trees on both sides of the street, to a very spacious and quiet street. The streets are lined with trees in pairs, with the occasional corner of the cornice peeking out of the leaves. In front of the vermilion gate, eye-catching stone lions stood looking at each other on both sides, and from time to time, people dressed as family members hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and disappeared in the smoke and rain in a hurry.

A carriage came from a distance stepping on a bluestone slab, driven by a man in his forties, with thick eyebrows and round eyes, and bright eyes. Even though he was wearing a round-necked robe, he could still feel the strong muscles underneath the wide clothes. The big man wore a bamboo hat, his body seemed to be loose and tight, and his eyes observed the situation around him from time to time.

The curtain of the carriage behind Dahan was lifted, and a cardamom girl dressed as a girl with a ring stretched out her head, seeing Dahan's vigilant appearance, she smiled and said to Dahan: "Uncle Li, it's all home, don't be so nervous!" ”

The big man turned his head, grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and stretched out his hand to pat the little girl's head: "Yun'er, this river and lake is sinister, you can't relax at any time!" Otherwise, what if you encounter a vicious villain like the one you met on the road this time? ”

Yun'er remembered a white-faced scholar she met on the road, who looked polite and polite at first, and she still had some admiration in her heart, who knew that it turned out to be a heinous flower thief!

"Fortunately, Uncle Li is vigilant, otherwise, Miss and I will ......" Yun'er couldn't say anything anymore, as long as she thought of the consequences, she was constantly afraid in her heart.

The big man surnamed Li didn't speak, just smiled, glanced at the carriage, and thought to himself: You girl is still young, I really think that our young lady is a vegetarian, it is estimated that she will be on guard, with the inaccessible means and skills of the flower thief, how can she be able to get into the eyes of the young lady!

"Okay, Yun'er, you can come back, I'm sick when I'm wet, and it's not me who is tired in the end!" In the carriage, an ethereal voice sounded, with a little reproach in the voice and more care.

Yun'er stuck out her tongue at the big man, made a grimace, and shrunk into the carriage: "Hehe, Miss hurts Yun'er the most!" ”

"Funny girl!" The voice of the woman in the carriage chuckled, as softly as the sound of the spring wind, and blew into the misty drizzle, making the spring rain fly obliquely.

With a doting smile on his face, the two black horses were much faster than before, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the street, which entered the courtyard.
