The carriage went all the way north, crossed Jiangzhou, and arrived at the territory of Jingzhou with excellent scenery five days later. There was an extra little girl and an extra carriage on the road, and as soon as the guards discussed, the road was slower.

"Master, just now the guard Lu said, now that it is in Jingzhou, do you want to find an inn to rest for two days and then hurry?"

Jingzhou?

Lin Youxiao reminded her, "Jingzhou is the fief of King Rong. ”

Wang Jingshu didn't have much impression of this place, "Jingzhou, I heard that the scenery is picturesque, so Emperor Taizu gave it the name Jingzhou when he visited it." ”

She remembered that Lao Rong was the great uncle of the current emperor, who had guarded the Jingzhou fiefdom for many years, never participated in the change of imperial power, and only lived his own life without any ambitions. He died three months ago, when the emperor sent other royal relatives to mourn him for two days in order to show respect for the withdrawal of the dynasty.

She thought of the replacement of the old and new Rong princes, and sighed lightly, "Now is the situation of the new Rong king." ”

sighed and stated like a story, "Originally, the throne of Rong should have been inherited by the eldest son of the old Rong prince, but his eldest son died early, and the other concubines were competing for this Rong throne. And the emperor overrode the public opinion to support the seven-year-old Rong Wang's youngest grandson Zhu Che to become the new Rong Wang. Because the eldest grandson of King Rong has long passed away, I heard that in order to inherit the lineage, only the youngest son of the younger son of the old King Rong is alive and is qualified to inherit this position. ”

This is the most typical example of the change of imperial power. Obviously, the youngest grandson of King Rong is only seven years old, and he can't govern the vast and rich fief at all, but in order to rule correctly in the lineage, let a ten-year-old child become the new King Rong. His uncles, his brothers, will they be convinced? Even if you don't show it on your face, you should be making a fuss behind your back.

Although she didn't have much of an impression, Wang Jingshu still remembered listening to her brother analyze the place of Jingzhou, "This place in Jingzhou is not only picturesque, but also a situation in the middle, it is very convenient to go to the north, south, east and west, and it is also a military fortress." The old Rong prince has been stationed here for many years, and since the early death of his eldest son, he has not established a son, which has caused his sons to fight very hard, and they all want to be the new Rong king. But now, for the sake of the lineage, he has given the prince's position to a yellow-mouthed child, but he is afraid that the follow-up battles will continue. The sons of the old prince will not be convinced, and neither will the sons of his eldest son. ”

In the future, Jingzhou will be a mess. If the new Rong King does not manage the fief well, then it can only be governed by the imperial court, so that the power of the new Rong King will be hollowed out, which is equivalent to having no real power, then this Jingzhou will become the emperor's bag, and sooner or later it will no longer be the fief of King Rong. Maybe the emperor let a child govern, that's what it means, he has been coveting the land of Jingzhou for a long time.

But there are some things that Wang Jingshu can't explain, this kind of court affairs shouldn't be left by a woman, she still manages her own one acre and three points of land. Leaning on the white jade pillow, he took a copy of "The Analects", but closed his eyes and recuperated, "You don't have to stay in Jingzhou, you can pass through it directly today, anyway, it's still early today." After Jingzhou, I hurried overnight, and arrived in Hezhou within two nights. ”

Lin Youxiao didn't understand why he wanted to go to Hezhou, "So, the master wants to stop in Hezhou?" The servant remembered that Hezhou was not the fief of a certain prince. And after traveling overnight, can you afford it? After sitting in this carriage for a long time, it will eventually get tired. ”

Wang Jingshu had her own idea, "It's best not to pass through the fiefdom on the route in the future." If we visit, it will be an inconvenience, and if we do not visit, it will seem that we are not polite. This is not good after all, so simply don't go through the fiefdom. "This is secondary, the most important thing is that if she visits the old prince one by one in advance, then I am afraid that her prince will feel uncomfortable, and she will suspect that she is good friends with the old prince, so as to save him from talking about the East Palace and Wang Mansion again.

"Or, stay overnight at the Jingzhou border at night, and the guards can prepare the grain and grass for the horses to eat, and you can rest, and then go overnight tomorrow."

Wang Jingshu agreed, "That's fine, our carriages will all follow the path, don't go to the market, now it's time for the people to go to the market, don't disturb the people." ”

"Yes, master, you can rest assured, we will walk all the way through towns and villages, and there will be no disturbances."

Originally, the main road was taken for safety, just in case. If there is something important, you can also go to the local government palace and other places in time to show the waist card of Ning Wangfu for rescue. And Wang Jingshu ordered that all take small roads, not take big roads, and not disturb the people, and even asked the guards not to go out, not to have fun, not to eat and drink when they spent the night in the inn.

Prior to this, these orders were very strict, causing the guards to be privately dissatisfied. After Wang Jingshu heard it, she only said one sentence, "Our Ning Wangfu should be an example for the people of the world." His body is upright, and he doesn't obey orders, and his body is not right, although he doesn't obey orders! You have to behave rightly! ”

Gradually, the guards did not dare to complain anymore, and always strictly followed the orders of the princess.

This is obviously a good thing. It's a pity that Wang Jingshu felt a little ironic later, she asked for such a high order to the guards, but the prince who was far away in Bangshui Town had already slapped her in the face, and he had already asked the beauty of Liu in his arms. If this kind of thing is known to the guards, it turns out that the master himself is looking for pleasure, and he will only be laughed at. Later, she also relaxed her requirements for the guards and allowed her to go out to eat and drink at night.

The carriage traveled all the way, Wang Jingshu quietly opened the curtain and secretly enjoyed the scenery all the way, the scenery of Jingzhou is natural, its beauty is very natural, without modification, a mountain and a water are like a painting. I admired in my heart, this Jingzhou is really a good place.

Lin Youxiao told the guards Lu from outside and then went inside, "Master, Qingyun has been in the small carriage behind you for the past two days, but I wonder, will it be too crowded over there?" In fact, Qingyun doesn't have to take care of it. Although Ruyu next to Miss Rong is young, she is still smart and will take good care of Miss Rong. ”

"The shrewdness of a man has learned enough from her master. I asked Qingyun to go over there, just to watch it for me, so as to save Ruofen from calculating anything at a young age, and with Qingyun here, she can also watch it for me. "What Wang Jingshu said is Ruyu, she doesn't like Ruyu's shrewdness, the maid next to the master wants loyalty, intelligence is secondary, Rong Ruofen is only eleven years old, if she is followed by an unreliable maid, it is easy to change her temperament, and it will be even more difficult to control in the future.

I'm afraid it's hard to control now.

"Yes." Lin Youxiao stopped talking, and handed over a plate of dim sum, "This is the dim sum that I just passed by the farmer and bought from them." The servant didn't know what it was called, it was dark, but she felt that it smelled fragrant and tasted soft, so she bought it and gave it to her master to eat and taste. I have tried the poison and can use it with peace of mind. ”

Wang Jingshu has no appetite at the moment, "Let it go, it's hard for you, we can't find a good-looking pastry on the path." Eat it while it's hot. When you leave the Imperial City, don't be so restrained. ”

They are all maids who want to follow her, and she has long regarded them as her own people, and she has never wronged them in terms of their food and clothing. But Lin knew where to dare, so he only thanked him and put down his snacks.

Wang Jingshu remembered something, "By the way, you know, have you ever learned to ride a horse?" ”

Lin Youxiao said sincerely: "In the past, the maid did something wrong and worked in the stable, and secretly learned one or two at night when no one was around, but he didn't learn very well. Master, what's the matter? ”

"When the inn rests in the evening, I will ask the Lu guards to get you a docile horse, and you can ride to the town to buy it in the future, and it will be convenient to go back and forth. If you sit in the carriage for a long time, you can go out and ride a horse to relax, and you don't have to sit here with me all the time, it's tiring. After a few days, Wang Jingshu's bones were about to fall apart, and she was really tired. But I still have to hurry.

Lin Youxiao was a little moved and even more hesitant, "This, it's not suitable." The servant still accompanies the princess. ”

Wang Jingshu shook her head slightly, "It's okay, if you want to take the carriage, you can come back and sit again." But when you get out of the carriage, you must take your hat with you, and you must not let anyone see your face. ”

In this case, Lin Youxiao heartily agreed to thank him.

And so it was decided. In the evening, in the small town on the border of Jingzhou, looking for a good inn, Wang Jingshu ordered Lu Qing to take Lin Youxiao to find a docile horse, and took out a silver ticket from his private treasury to Lin Youxiao privately, "I don't know if this silver ticket is enough to buy a good horse, in short, find the best and most docile horse in Jingzhou, if it is not enough silver taels, come to me and say, I will take it for you." ”

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

This caused Qingyunzhi to be envious, but it was a pity that she couldn't ride a horse. didn't think about it, but the princess said: "But I have the conditions, you have to teach Qingyun Qingyi to learn to ride a horse, and it will be convenient to go out to buy when you go to Ning Wang's Mansion in the future, so you don't have to ask others." When they learned, I gave them two good horses. ”

Lin Youxiao agreed, and even Qingyun was immediately happy.

Wang Jingshu understands that there are some things that can only be safed when her own people go out to buy, so she wants to let her three most trusted maids learn to ride horses, and it will be convenient to enter and exit King Ning's mansion in the future. And she herself doesn't know how to ride a horse.

The master doesn't need to know everything, he doesn't need to do it himself, but he must know how to use people well.

Immediately, she sent Lin Youxiao out with a hat.

As soon as she entered the inn, Wang Jingshu was able to rest, and the whole person was lying on the bed as if she was paralyzed, Qingyun went up and pinched her shoulders with a look in her eyes, "Master, can you ride a horse?" ”

"I won't. I don't learn that. ”

Once in Wang Jingshu's life, in addition to the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, the most important thing is to learn the skills of accounting and housekeeping, female cooks, as well as dealing with people in the world, and even rules and regulations, just like going up to the hall and going down to the kitchen, the rest has never been involved. She is the eldest daughter of Wangfu, and everything is taught according to the famous family of orthodox ladies. Because she was destined to be the housewife, but who knew that she would become a princess and marry into the royal family.

Soon, Wang Jingshu, who was extremely tired, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
