Chapter 1 Yangzhou
The drizzle is lingering, and the scenery is beautiful.
A low-key but luxurious carriage was speeding down the wide avenue, kicking up dust everywhere it passed.
Sitting in the carriage was Shu Qing, who Mo Wengu had been looking for for several days.
Shu Qing sat against the window, the curtain opened a gap slightly, through the gap, you can see the gentle and emerald green delicacy along the way.
After leaving the capital, Shu Zicheng ordered people to go all the way to the south, and now it is almost close to the situation of Yangzhou, the scenery of the south is really very different from the capital, although it is not as magnificent and bright as Beijing, but it has an elegant and fresh flavor.
The drizzle swept the willows twice, making the road ahead look foggy.
Although the scenery outside is clear, Shu Qing's eyes are empty, she just looks straight at somewhere, there is no trace of waves in her eyes, as if the lake and mountains are not in her eyes at all.
Xue Huan and Xue Pei sat beside her left and right, and when they saw this, they had no choice but to look at each other, and they let out silent sighs.
Shu Qing had been sitting like this for a long time, and she had almost maintained this posture all the way, no matter what they said in her ear, Shu Qing didn't seem to be able to hear it.
At this moment, the carriage at the front suddenly stopped.
Xue Huan and Xue Pei were feeling strange, and vaguely heard Shu Zicheng's voice floating from the front.
"This journey is tiring, everyone has worked hard, and then five miles ahead is Yangzhou, you first move all the luggage to the apricot garden, I will take the young lady to the inn in front of the house for dinner, and then go back to the apricot garden at night."
In order to let Shu Qing come out to relax and forget the past, Shu Zicheng specially bought a big house in Yangzhou, the apricot orchard is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is quiet, although it is in the suburbs, it seems to be self-contained, few people can disturb it, in order to find such a suitable place for recuperation, Shu Zicheng has spent a lot of thought.
"Yes, sir." The subordinates responded, and then took a part of the carriage to the direction of Yangzhou City.
Shu Zicheng arranged the luggage and went straight into Shu Qing's carriage by himself.
Seeing Shu Qing's unyielding appearance, Shu Zicheng couldn't help but frown, he muttered in a low voice, waved his hand to let Xue Huan and Xue Pei exit the carriage first, and then sat quietly beside Shu Qing.
Shu Qing still looked out the window without saying a word, and didn't notice Shu Zicheng's arrival at all.
Shu Zicheng put the withered old hand on Shu Qing's shoulder, and called softly: "Ah Qing, there is the inn in front, you haven't eaten since the morning, why don't you get off the bus and go to the inn to eat first." ”
Hearing Shu Zicheng's words, Shu Qing had some reaction, tilted his head and said weakly: "Dad, Aqing is not hungry and doesn't want to eat." ”
"How can this work?" Shu Zicheng frowned slightly, and his face was undisguised worry, "You don't eat all day, how can your body stand it?" ”
"Dad, don't worry too much about your daughter, her daughter is really fine." Shu Qing tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said with a warm sigh of relief.
Shu Zicheng's thick eyebrows were tightly locked, how could Shu Qing's appearance at his eyes make him feel at ease? It's just a few months, and his baby daughter is like a different person, just like the lively and cheerful appearance before, Shu Zicheng tried his best to make her happy, but it didn't work.
In the past, Shu Qing loved to eat braised pork the most, and a few days ago, Shu Zicheng brought the braised pork to Shu Qing, but Shu Qing just retched vigorously in the face of that plate of braised pork.
It's all Mo Wengu! It's good to hurt his daughter like this!
Shu Zicheng gritted his teeth, the words came to his mouth, and he swallowed them back into his stomach.
At this time, mentioning the three words Mo Wengu in front of Shu Qing just made Shu Qing more and more uncomfortable.
Shu Zicheng took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile again, and said: "Ah Qing, even if you don't think about yourself, think about your father, you have no appetite these days, and your father can't eat, so you have the right to accompany your father to eat, and eat a few bites more or less." Besides, if you can stand hunger, the child in your womb may not be able to stand it. ”
Shu Zicheng knew that now that Shu Qing had left Mo Wengu, the child in her belly was the meat of her heart.
When Shu Qing heard this, her face was really a little shaken, and after a while, she finally nodded: "Okay." ”
"Come on, get the young lady out of the car." After a lot of effort, Shu Qing was finally explained, Shu Zicheng was very happy in his heart, and immediately waved his hand to call Xuehuan Xuepei.
The two of them were one left and one right, so they carefully and cautiously helped Shu Qing down.
The inn is not far from where everyone settled, and the shopkeeper quickly set up a table of delicious dishes according to Shu Zicheng's instructions, all meat and vegetables, full of color and flavor, and it makes people have a great appetite when they look at it.
"Come on, Aqing, let's eat." Shu Zicheng kept adding dishes to Shu Qing's bowl, and everything was what Shu Qing loved to eat in the past.
Shu Qing also cooperated, took chopsticks and ate several bites, and said with a smile: "Dad, you eat too." ”
Shu Zicheng saw that she was eating happily, so he comfortably held the bowl and began to eat.
At this time, it was lunch time, in addition to Shu Zicheng and Shu Qing, there were also a lot of diners sitting in the inn, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they were happy, but no one noticed the outsider sitting in the corner.
"Hey, have you heard? Something big happened in the capital again. At the wine table, a man suddenly said.
Immediately, someone asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Murphy is related to that King Qing again? ”
"Haha, you really guessed it right this time, it's related to King Naqing."
"I heard that King Qing married a very fat woman as the imperial concubine, this matter has become a big laughing stock at the beginning, let's talk about it, what happened to King Qing?"
"You don't know, half a month ago, King Qing suddenly repaired Princess Qing and married Liu Chuimian, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family."
"Haha, I had long expected that the fat woman's marriage to King Qing would not last long, and things turned out to be as I expected."
Xu was because the emperor was far away, and everyone's conversation was not blocked, probably no one would have expected that the extremely fat woman in their mouth was sitting next to them.
These gossips were too loud, and Shu Qing finally heard those harsh words.
As soon as Shu Zicheng came back to his senses, he saw Shu Qing holding chopsticks in his hand, and he didn't do it for a long time, he was about to ask Shu Qing what was going on, his brows furrowed, and he heard the rumors at the adjacent table.
He put down the dishes and chopsticks at the moment and shouted coldly: "It's too nonsense! How dare I talk about my daughter's life's events as a joke! The old man will definitely not spare them! ”
