Chapter 157: Yizhou
At the end of August, Li Mingyun said goodbye to his parents and set off to Beijing with his fourth wife, Nie.
He was accompanied by Li Mingjia and Li Mingxian, who stayed in Gwangju to take care of the Qin family because he was worried about his mother.
Along the way, the scenery is just right, although it is under the scorching sun, but it has a different taste.
Li Mingyun sat in the carriage, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling and moving, and feeling the bumps in the road.
Li Mingjia next to him was tense, but because of his curiosity and yearning for new things, he couldn't help but look outside.
After walking like this for more than ten days, the carriage and horses of the Li Mansion stopped at an inn in Yizhou.
The fourth lady, Nie Shi, pinched her forehead and got out of the carriage, said a few words to Li Mingyun and them casually, and was helped into the inn.
Nie stayed in Gwangju all the year round and rarely went out, sitting in a cramped carriage all the way, swaying, his head was shaken and a little dizzy.
She really didn't adapt to this kind of rush, so she proposed to Steward Hong to walk slowly, like a tour of the mountains and rivers, saying that only in this way would she be better.
This proposal was naturally agreed by Steward Hong, after all, it would take a long time, and it didn't matter if it was slower.
Li Mingyun came to this familiar place and looked at the streets of Yizhou with novelty in his eyes.
Prosperous carriages, lively shops, rows of houses.
"Wow, the servants have forgotten about this place!" Qiu Qing said excitedly, her eyes shining.
She was young when she was in Yizhou, and there were many things that she couldn't remember anymore.
"Qiuqing, can you forget this?" Chunyu laughed at her, "You weren't a three-year-old kid back then." ”
Only a three-year-old can't remember things, that's what she thinks in her heart.
Li Mingyun smiled gently.
"Do you want to go and rest? Or do you want to go for a walk with me? She asked.
Although she doesn't come to this street often, she is the most familiar place, because after passing here, she turns a corner and arrives at her former residence.
Qiuqing finally returned to Yizhou, of course, I wanted to walk around, and Chunyu finally came to Yizhou for a trip, and I also wanted to see the customs of Yizhou.
The three of them had the same thoughts, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Xue Yan followed behind indifferently, silent.
Li Mingyun curled her lips and looked at Li Mingjia, who was secretly looking at her.
When the eyes collided, Li Mingjia hurriedly looked away, and strode into the inn with the maid Honglan who was looking around.
Honglan retracted her gaze with a resigned sound.
Qiu Qing didn't like them, so she immediately pouted.
"Miss, why do you want to ride in a carriage with Miss Four? You can ride alone. She said, a little angry, "Fourth Miss is still so big and small, she doesn't even say hello to you!" ”
She had never seen a sister like this.
If Miss Fourth was her younger sister, it is estimated that she would have been beaten by her so that she would not dare to be arrogant anymore.
Thinking, she clenched her fists.
Li Mingyun squeezed her hand and stretched it out.
"This time I went to the capital, I brought a lot of things, and I didn't get in the way by riding in the same car with her, and I kept the car with the goods, so as not to make those people hard." She said, "Why, you think I like to ride with her?" ”
After saying that, she curled her lips and smiled.
Qiu Qing was still a little unconvinced.
"Son, I just think that the fourth young lady is rude and willful, and I don't respect your sister." She muffled.
Chunyu smiled and slapped her round face.
"Qiu Qing, you have wronged the fourth lady." She thought it was funny, "Fourth Miss, how dare she be rude and willful now?" She was obviously afraid of Miss and wanted to avoid Miss. ”
"Is there one?" Qiu Qing blinked and muttered to herself.
Li Mingyun actually felt that Li Mingjia was a little strange.
Li Mingjia neither talked to her, nor dared to look at her, for fear that she would talk to her. I said I was scared, but I didn't feel like it, and I said I wasn't afraid, but this showed that there were indeed signs of fear.
Li Mingyun couldn't think of it, so he simply put it aside.
Anyway, it's not a big deal, and she doesn't want to care what Li Mingjia thinks of her.
She took the spring rain and autumn sunshine, as well as Xue Yan, and walked on this prosperous official road.
The people of Yizhou are very simple, wearing the simplest summer clothes, and walking through the streets with constant shouting and selling.
"This young lady, do you want to see my cloth? These are the colors of the season......"
“…… Girl, come on, my jewelry here is the best ...... in Yizhou."
“…… Come in and have a look, take a look at ......"
Along the way, you can feel the enthusiasm of the people of Yizhou, who exude an active atmosphere and release their vitality in the summer.
Li Mingyun walked to a stall selling jewelry and saw a very ordinary hosta.
"Miss, you have good eyesight, this hairpin was bought by the little woman from other places at a great price......"
The female vendor bragged about her things so vigorously that she almost uttered the sentence "This hairpin should only be in the sky".
Li Mingyun bent his lips and just wanted to pick up the hairpin, but the hairpin was snatched by a delicate hand.
She turned her eyes and saw that it was a woman dressed in red.
The woman was beautiful, her hair was tied up and she looked very capable, and she was followed by two maids and four guards.
It's kind of familiar.
Li Mingyun thought to himself.
When Chunyu saw the woman's move, she immediately became angry.
"How can you rob someone else!" She said angrily, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she snatched the hairpin back neatly.
The woman was annoyed by her sudden movements.
"Bold! I even robbed Miss Ben's things! She scolded, and ordered the guards who followed, "Arrest this girl for Miss Ben!" I'm going to teach her a lesson! ”
The guards responded and walked towards the spring rain.
Chunyu hurriedly pulled Xue Yan forward, and he hid behind him.
The woman was still much more restrained in the face of a handsome man, and her expression eased slightly.
"Who are you?" The woman asked.
Xue Yan didn't answer, and as soon as he drew his sword, he scared away the few useless guards.
"Idiot!" The woman scolded the guards angrily, and her eyes became softer and softer when she looked at Xue Yan.
"Your guard is not bad, why don't you follow Miss Ben, Miss Ben will take you to eat and drink spicy food!" She said, patting her flat chest.
This action is even more familiar.
Li Mingyun stared at her and couldn't stop thinking in his heart.
I think I've seen it somewhere......
Here, when the woman saw that Xue Yan didn't answer, she looked at Li Mingyun domineeringly, she saw that Li Mingyun was dressed extraordinary, and knew that she was the highest, so she said to her: "Hey, the handsome guard behind you, I want it, you sell him to me!" ”
She said it with a sense of urgency, as if buying and selling people was a common thing.
Li Mingyun frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and she spit out a name in a low voice: "Wei Jinxiu? ”
The woman's figure was stunned, and she immediately recovered.
"How do you know my name?" She said, muttering to herself, "Could it be that Miss Ben's reputation has spread to other places?" ”
Li Mingyun looks like a foreigner at first glance, otherwise, in a place like Yizhou, there will definitely be such a woman known to everyone.
Li Mingyun twitched the corners of his mouth: "Why haven't you changed?" ”
Wei Jinxiu is the youngest daughter of the prefect of Yizhou, and the reason why she remembers it is because Wei Jinxiu once took a large sum of money to her and asked her to sell her second brother to her.
At that time, when she saw such a sum of money, she really hesitated, and finally endured the pain and did not sell.
Wei Jinxiu looked at her a few more times, and finally recognized Li Mingyun.
"Hey, how did you get here? Specially came to send a handsome guard to me? Wei Jinxiu pouted and said.
Li Mingyun was helpless, looked at her and explained: "I'm going to the capital, just passing through here." ”
"What are you doing in the capital?" Wei Jinxiu asked, "Go find your second brother?" ”
It seems that she still remembers her second brother, and she knows that the second brother is in the capital.
Li Mingyun shook his head and said, "My second sister is married. ”
She explained simply.
Chunyu didn't expect them to know each other, and immediately blushed, and it was not impossible to put the hairpin with it.
She also thought that this young lady was going to bully her young lady, so she deliberately snatched the hairpin that the young lady fancied......
It seems that she misunderstood.
Li Mingyun smiled at her reassuringly.
"It's okay." She said, "I thought she was a bad person, but then I remembered that I didn't even pick up the hairpin." ”
The hairpin that was not picked up was taken away by someone else, and it was not taken away.
Wei Jinxiu took advantage of this loophole to make the outrageous move just now. And her purpose is actually for Xue Yan.
