Chapter 347: Princess Yu Goes to Jiangnan
"Say hello to my mother," Sheng Zi'an said respectfully.
"Get up, your marriage has been completed, and it has also fulfilled a matter of your mother's heart. I've been tired for most of my life, and I want to see the good scenery of Jiangnan and the outside world, what do you think? ”
"Mother wants to go out to play, it's naturally good, you have worked hard for most of your life, you should also want to enjoy happiness, and when you are busy for a while, I will accompany you with my husband!" Sheng Zi thought with peace of mind, he hadn't enjoyed the beautiful scenery here since he crossed over, so he just took this opportunity to go out and have a fun.
"No need, you're busy, I want to go out by myself." Princess Yu waved her hand.
"But if you go alone, we don't worry! The road is far away, the mountains and highlands are far away, I am afraid that no one will take care of you on the road, I am not at ease. Sheng Zi'an said a little anxiously. In fact, worrying about Princess Yu is only secondary, the most important thing is that she wants to go to the mountains and rivers herself.
"What's not to worry about, with Mother Rong by my side, she will take care of all matters for me." Princess Yu's words were affirmative, and Sheng Zi'an was not allowed to refute them.
"Well, since my mother is determined to go to Jiangnan alone, Zi'an agrees."
"Alas, the dream of going has been stifled in the cradle." Sheng Zi thought with peace of mind. But when I think about it, I still have to live here for a long time, and I don't have to worry so much if I have time to play the mountains and rivers here.
"Then you should accompany your mother to the market to choose some daily necessities!" Princess Yu was quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law, so she asked Sheng Zi'an to go to the market to choose supplies for play.
"Okay! Then I will buy you your favorite Luzhou roast chicken and osmanthus cake with you, as well as the steamed dates in North Lane, and the ones in East Street..."Sheng Zi'an has been chattering, for fear of missing something that Princess Yu likes.
So they got into a sedan chair and drove to the market.
The bazaar is very lively, there are all kinds of people, there are young girls wearing flowers, there are handsome young men, there are people who drive to pull goods, and there are all kinds of vendors, selling goods in the bazaar, shoulder to shoulder, endless, people come and go, the sound is endless. The shouting on the street, the sound of yo, the sound of bargaining... Together; The little two in the hotel shuttled between the tables with a wine jug, which was very lively.
"Mother, this is good, you bring it looks great, that one is also good, bring you some of this ......" Sheng Zi'an endlessly picked up things for the princess, and she was like two people who were with Xiao Jue.
Princess Yu looked at her daughter-in-law and became more and more satisfied.
After a day of purchasing, Princess Yu and Sheng Zi'an were very tired, and they rested when they returned to the mansion.
"Bang bang..."
"Madam, I'm back, what have you done in the house today? Tell me to my husband. Xiao Jue hugged Sheng Zi'an from behind and said, "My husband is very tired today, but when I saw my wife, I immediately became energetic." ”
"Husband, I have something to tell you! My mother wanted to go out for a walk, go to the south of the Yangtze River to travel the mountains and rivers, and set off tomorrow, because my mother said it suddenly, so I didn't discuss it with my husband. Sheng Zi'an said with some embarrassment.
"Good! I'm also trying to take my wife for a break. The troubles of court battles are all put behind us, and let's go with our mother. I didn't expect Xiao Jue to have such thoughts, Sheng Zi'an felt warm in her heart.
"But my mother said that she wanted to go by herself, to relax, to relax." Sheng Zi'an took Xiao Jue's hand and said.
"Oh? Is it? That's not impossible, I'll find a few competent guards and maids to accompany my mother, and let them take care of her. Let's arrange it! "Xiao absolutely Sheng Zi'an is very relieved to take care of things, and the house is well organized by Sheng Zi'an.
"After a period of time, after dealing with the affairs of the court, the husband will also take you to relax." Xiao Jue was like a roundworm in Sheng Zi'an's stomach, and he could see through Sheng Zi'an's thoughts at a glance.
Sheng Zi'an said: "Okay, when the husband is free, let's go."
Maybe it's because Xiao Jue is so tired today, and as soon as the words fell, Xiao Jue's snoring has already come. Sheng Zi'an gently stroked Xiao Jue's face, the moonlight hit the table where the candlestick was placed, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep, the picture was quite warm.
The next day, the carriage arrived, and the maid of the family loaded all the luggage into the car.
Sheng Zi'an was a little reluctant.
"You have to take good care of the princess, if the princess is sick, you must be diagnosed and treated in time." Sheng Zi'an instructed the people.
Turning to Princess Yu in the carriage, he said, "You must take care of yourself!" Write back often, don't worry us, eat well, sleep well, have fun......"
Seeing that Sheng Zi'an cared so much about his mother, and he didn't usually see Sheng Zi'an caring so much about himself, Xiao Jue actually ate his mother's vinegar, and shook his head when he thought about it, his careful eyes even ate his mother's vinegar, it was really funny.
Princess Yu only felt that her brain was buzzing when she heard it, and she just wanted to set off quickly, so she said perfunctorily: "Don't worry! I'm back after a while, and you're at home. Princess Yu said as she waved her hand.
The carriage went farther and farther, turning from the crowd to a point and fading away.
Sheng Zi'an and Xiao Jue saw the carriage disappear into the distance and stayed for a while before returning home.
Running all the way, half a month has passed.
Princess Yu finally arrived in Jiangnan, played everywhere, and saw such a good scenery in Jiangnan, and couldn't help but sigh:
"West Lake in autumn is a mature scene. The fragrant osmanthus flowers on the shore are really nostalgic. The shapes of the stone forests in the distance are strange: some are like towers, some are like buildings, some are like swords, some are like artifacts, birds and beasts, some are like mushroom clouds, some are like literati warriors, and some are like maiden village girls. The scenery of Jiangnan is so wonderful. ”
Princess Yu was overjoyed.
Later, Princess Yu also went to Hangzhou to see the Lion Forest, the Humble Administrator's Garden, Liu Garden, and Canglang Pavilion, and felt the magic of nature.
After swimming most of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Princess Yu said: "I like Wuzhen the most."
"Why, Princess." One of the attendant maidservants asked.
Princess Yu enjoyed most of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River and was in a very good mood, so she explained:
"Wuzhen is in the water town south of the Yangtze River, and there are many ancient towns like Wuzhen, which are as beautiful and quiet as pearls. In addition to the small bridges, flowing water, people's water town style and exquisite and elegant residential buildings, Wuzhen has a strong historical and cultural atmosphere. This is probably the reason why it has the longest history and the most developed culture. I didn't come in vain! It's so beautiful..."
Princess Yu stood on a high ground, breathing in the fresh air of the south of the Yangtze River.
Then the group of them prepared to go to a small village, tired of seeing the mountains and rivers, and planned to go to the countryside to see a different kind of beauty.
So they took a carriage to the village, and because of the slow movement of the carriage and horses, it took them three days to reach the small village. When I first arrived at the small village, it was full of smoke, like a fairyland on earth, but the strange thing was that the further I went, the more barren it became, only the cries of chickens and ducks filled the whole village, and there were hardly a few pedestrians in the village.
Princess Yu asked, "What's the matter here, why is there no one for half a day?"
"The slave and maid go and ask, the princess will wait a minute." A servant girl replied. She walked towards a small courtyard, and before she could enter the door, she heard a noisy sound coming from inside, as if someone was coughing.
When I entered the small courtyard, I heard the sound of coughing before I knocked on the door.
"Ahem," a cough came from inside the room, accompanied by the sound of rapid breathing.
Outside, a young man in white leaned against the threshold and spat thick phlegm into the yard, and several skinny ducks also ran out and slammed into the corner. The old hen of the family also ran out and pecked at the young man's phlegm on the ground.
"Gross." The maid was a little sick to her stomach, but she still endured the churning in her stomach.
He asked the young man, "This son, is there something going on here?" Why is there no smell of people in this village? ”
The young man looked like his eyes were sunken and his face was yellow and thin, as if he was about to die in the next second. He barely stood up from the threshold and said:
"Our village is Qinjia Village, and in our village and several surrounding villages, there has been a plague recently, and many people have died. Now the people in the village, old and old, sick and dead. There is no solution, Lang Zhong here walks away, escapes and escapes, there is no help. Don't you know? Why come? If you come in, you can't get out. ”
The boy's eyes were glazed, and he continued to collapse on the doorframe, as if he had exhausted all his strength after saying these words.
When the maidservant learned that there was a plague here, she quickly retreated, away from the boy, and quickly covered her nose for fear that she would be infected.
"The government here did nothing, and in order to prevent the spread of the plague, 400 officers and soldiers were transferred from the county to cordon off the surrounding area." The teenager continued.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" A coughing sound came.
"Dad, you're coughing again, but the family has no money to buy medicine, what can I do?" A child said with a crying voice.
"There's no medicine, what can I do?" a young man came out of the room.
"Big brother, my father's cough is getting worse again." The young man asked, but he was also helpless, his family's savings had already been spent, and now how could he have the money to buy medicine, the family could only wait until the plague worsened and passed away, and this day saw the end at a glance.
"Then we can't get out, so what can we do?" When the maidservant saw such a scene, her heart was like ashes, she hadn't survived until she got married, but she didn't want to die so early.
"Childe, I'd like to ask if there are any inns around here." The maidservant wanted to leave this ghost place quickly after asking for directions.
"Girl, I see that you are also from a large family, and if you want to ask for directions, you need some payment..."
It turned out to be asking for money, the maid thought to herself, and then took out a piece or two of silver and put it on the table next to her, she didn't want to be close to these people who had the plague.
"You go all the way along this road, and not far away you will see a Fulong Inn on the side of the road." The boy pointed to the path outside the door.
When he finished speaking, the maidservant hurriedly left, not staying in this place for a second longer.
