Section 59: Rivals gather in ancient temples
Since Xiao Wei came to this world, it was the first time to come to Chao'an City.
I have only heard others talk about it before, and I have seen it from the memory of Xiaoxiao in the dream, but the dream is a dream after all, and the trance is always unreal, and now it is finally coming, accompanied by a handsome guy, riding a horse all the way to see the scenery, chatting, Xiao Wei feels very comfortable.
But this handsome man had to bring some special paints, painted his white face in bronz, and carefully painted his exposed hands and neck, and at the same time glued a thick and dense short beard, and changed into a coarse cloth clothes, looking like a person who works hard for a living, although his body is thin, but he is very strong and good-looking, he is a fan-faced figure with a slender waist, he looks very energetic, and he is more decent among those who work hard for a living.
Xiao Wei asked, "Why do you want to dress up like this?" Mei Yuexue said: "I'm afraid of evil." ”
Xiao Wei: "...... What iniquity? Mei Yuexue smiled at her and said, "Peach blossoms." Xiao Wei glanced at her and said, "You are confident." Mei Yuexue said: "You must have this confidence!" Didn't the monkey say that he gave him a lot of inspiration through my appearance and made up a lot of new stories, saying that my appearance and temperament can bring people a lot of reverie! After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Xiao Wei a few times and smiled evilly.
Xiao Wei asked a little strangely: "Which story is made up according to your appearance and temperament, why don't I know!" Mei Yuexue said: "Guess which one feels like me." Xiao Wei said with a disgusted face: "Oh-it won't be the male vixen!" Mei Yuexue smiled: "That's right! Haha, like! Xiao Wei said with a smile: "The male vixen that the monkey talked about is messing around with flowers and grass, and it seems that those girls and female goblins take the initiative to like him, but in fact, he is good-looking and overflowing with love, and he only likes the village girl who saved him, but he is still merciful everywhere." How can you be like him, you, I don't know how much more honest than him! ”
Mei Yuexue smiled: "Yes, it's rare to see a handsome and safe man like me!" I have to protect myself when I'm away from home! Hey, Xiao Wei, you can help me paint on my neck, I can't see it, I'm afraid it won't be applied evenly. Xiao Wei had to take it over and help him, her soft and slightly cool fingertips gently roamed around his neck and shoulders, Mei Yuexue pressed her itchy mood, and closed her eyes to enjoy this moment.
Xiao Wei also carefully helped him paint the skin behind his ears, and after applying, the whole person and Lao Tie became the same. Mei Yuexue said with satisfaction: "Very good, if there is such a thing in the future, you have to help me!" Here, help me glue my beard. ”
Xiao Wei had no choice but to help him stick his beard, and after tinkering for a long time, Xiao Wei was a little upset, and Mei Yuexue seemed very happy to see her so cooperative.
These days, Mei Yuexue is becoming more and more unashamed in front of her, which makes Xiao Wei feel unfunny.
"He wouldn't really treat me as a brother now!" Xiao Wei was a little worried, but in fact, he had been worried, afraid that Mei Yuexue would have "antibodies", thinking that he didn't regard this teasing as teasing.
Xiao Wei was afraid that such a situation would occur, so since she could stay in the Hidden Dragon Pass, she would never flirt with him again, she thought that she could get along with him in this way, but in fact, it seemed that it was not as good as forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes. After being together for a long time, I don't feel anything, even if there are some unnatural things in my daily life, it has become natural now. Just like today he wants to send her to Chao'an City, when he first met, he avoided her like a snake and scorpion, but now, he doesn't know how to blush when riding a horse with her, and now he doesn't shy away from being a lonely man and a widow in this barren mountain and wilderness, and he also wants her to help him apply potion and stick his beard, look at each other, and go on a skin-to-skin relationship......
Although it's just a little bit of skin on the tips of her fingers, Mei Yuexue shouldn't have no reaction at all! Isn't he a gentleman, doesn't he have a habit of cleanliness, he still treats other women as politely as before, why is he so informal to her now? If you rule out the possibility that he likes her, then there is only one reason left, he really treats her as a brother!
"I'll go! Isn't that the end? She was secretly shocked.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Wei felt cold in her heart, and when she didn't know what to do, Mei Yuexue greeted her and said, "Hey, let's go!" It's getting dark, let's find a place to spend the night, and then leave in the morning on a cloudy day. ”
Xiao Wei had to agree to go and ride with him, secretly thinking about this matter in his heart.
There is an ancient temple outside Chao'an City, which is in disrepair, when Mei Yuexue and Xiao Wei arrived there, a little monk was about to close the gate, Mei Yuexue stopped him and said: "Little Master, we are pedestrians passing by, it is too late to enter the city, can you want to stay here for one night?" The little monk said: "Amitabha, passing by is fate, so please come in, but today there are two guests in our temple, and there is only one left in our spare empty meditation room, so we have to wronged the two donors." ”
Xiao Wei gasped, and thought to herself: "God, God, Amitabha, why did I run into such a bloody plot?" Xiao Wei didn't vomit out a mouthful of old blood on this side, and Mei Yuexue said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm so hungry, please trouble the little master to hurry up and prepare a meal." The little monk said: "Then I will take the two donors to the meditation room first, and then arrange for the two after I have communicated to the abbot." Mei Yuexue said: "Okay, it should be like this." ”
The little monk said, "Wait a minute, the two of you." With that, he withdrew. He had just gone out a short distance and turned a corner to see the abbot, but unexpectedly a figure appeared in the dark and asked, "Little Master! The little monk was taken aback, and when he looked at it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be you, donor, what are you doing here?" ”
The man cautiously asked, "Little Master, let me ask you, who is here just now?" The little monk said: "He said that he was just a passerby." The man then asked, "What does that man look like?" What does it look like, what does it look like? How many people did they come? ”
The little monk looked at him in a daze, not knowing whether to say it or not, but when the man saw that he was worried, he smiled and said, "Little Master, don't worry, I just love to make friends, and I want to inquire clearly before going to the meeting, so as not to surprise others." ”
The little monk had to say: "Amitabha, donor, in fact, the little monk is not very clear, there are two people, one tall and one short, the tall face is very dark, the face is full of beard, the short one is very white and delicate, and the other little monks have nothing to say." The man smiled and said, "Thank you." Stretched out his hand and took out a few copper plates from his arms and said: "Little Master, you don't need to let them know about this matter, it is inevitable to be careful when walking the rivers and lakes, so as not to be unclear, I will go to visit them, little Master, you should not know about this." Little Master, you have received the money, but you have to talk about it! ”
Life in the temple is poor, and when the little monk sees the money, he is naturally happy in his heart, and says categorically: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will never talk nonsense." ”
After the little monk left, the man turned around and went to a meditation room, knocked on the door, and someone in the room asked in a low voice, "Is it the prince's man?" The man said, "It doesn't sound like it, only two people came." Someone inside said: "Then you should also be careful, maybe you just send two people to explore the way, and the other horses have already surrounded us outside." ”
The other party sighed in a gloomy tone: "I don't know if you can hide the method you taught me." The man said confidently: "Even if you can't hide for a lifetime, you can hide for a while, don't worry, I don't know what the prince thinks, but the Luan thief will definitely be suspicious and dare not act rashly." ”
The person who went out to ask the little monk before was none other than the county lord of Zhaohua, and now the person sitting on the couch and drinking tea slowly is Zhou Wenlian.
How did these two men come together?
It turned out that when the prince of Gu was about to return to Beijing with the county lord and pass through Chao'an City, he was stopped by the prince's people and found the father and daughter, who were lonely and lonely.
He was about to ask the prince how he found him, but the prince first apologized to him: "Please don't blame the prince, this palace is for the good of the county lord, the county lord has golden branches and jade leaves, the body of a daughter, and the palace is really worried about coming out alone, in case it is discovered and captured by the spies of the Yi people on the way, or robbed by the mountain bandits, then the palace will be sad to death!" So the palace sent someone to secretly follow the prince all the way, and by the way, to keep the prince safe all the way. Speaking of why he wanted to be secret, he was just afraid that Yun'er would hide when he saw that there were people from the palace around the prince, and he would hide when he saw the prince. ”
He said this thoughtfully, and Prince Gu knew that he had been planning for a long time, so he had to smile and say: "It's really hard Your Royal Highness the Prince, and you have to remember the little girl when you are so busy with government affairs." ”
The prince said: "I am five years older than Yun'er, and I have watched her grow up, and no matter how busy the government affairs are, they are no match for Yun'er." ”
Zhaohua was blocked by him in Chao'an, and he was intercepted by life, and it was very uncomfortable in his heart. She had just met Mei Yuexue, and she knew that it was hopeless to join hands with him for a lifetime, and when she met the current crown prince Mu Changhan, her heart was like being stuffed with a plug, she was bored and annoying, and said angrily: "Your Highness, don't say that, I'm not a Daji compliment, and I have a bad face, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to do with me if he ignores government affairs?" I can't afford it. ”
The prince said: "Most of the government affairs are still done by my father, I just share some for his old man's family so that my father can rest more and do some filial piety, and now his old man is also worried about Yun'er You, and it is also a wish of my father to get you back safely!" ”
Zhao Hua snorted angrily and said: "Your Highness doesn't have to hide it, I won't stop you if you go back to Beijing now, why bother to count me down in a corner!" Your Majesty's worries are not caused by me, I came out secretly, and my father also came out secretly without alarming anyone, His Royal Highness the Prince, if you hadn't sent someone to follow, Your Majesty would have known about this matter? ”
"Enough Yun'er! You have a temper and swear at your father, what is the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, and you dare to speak disrespectfully like this? Gu Wangye reprimanded Zhaohua in a low voice, but Zhaohua still didn't mean to apologize and give in, and his eyes were already a little red.
Mu Changhan said lightly: "Yun'er is not happy in her heart, so don't reprimand her, since the road is safe, I will rest assured." Although this Chao'an City is not big, but I heard that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, since I came, I will send someone back to Beijing to send a letter, so as not to worry about my father and mother, I will steal a few days here first. This palace has been hearing for a long time that the prince also likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, and wants to invite the prince to go with him, I don't know if the prince is willing to appreciate his face! ”
In his words, there is always no joy or anger, which is the most difficult thing for him to deal with.
Prince Gu had no choice but to say lukewarmly: "Your Highness, the old minister still advises His Highness to give priority to state affairs, and it is time to return to Beijing as soon as possible." His Royal Highness is the prince, since the rebellion of the prince of Suihan, His Majesty's body is not as good as before, His Royal Highness should still go back to help His Majesty share his worries, I am an old minister, I am also old, and I have no military power in my hands, and I am powerless in the court. ”
Mu Changhan said with a smile: "What the prince said is reasonable, but I was negligent. Okay, then the palace will rest here for two days, and then return to the palace without delay. ”
So the crown prince and the prince Gu agreed to return to Beijing together and stay in Chao'an City for the time being. The prince and the prince are coming, and the officials in the city arrange the hospitality without going into detail, Zhaohua is secretly anxious in her heart, she is young and raised in the boudoir since she was a child, she really can't understand her father and Mu Changhan playing dumb riddles You come and go, secretly thinking that this time when she returns to Beijing, the prince and the Luan family are on guard, she is afraid that she will not be able to escape, and she is in a hurry to repeat the old tricks, and she secretly ran out of the mansion where she stayed while no one was paying attention, not far out of the city, and met Zhou Wenlian who was about to go to Beijing, she was afraid that Mu Changhan would find out and chase her, and she was also sick and rushed to the doctor. begged Zhou Wen to take her to find a place to hide.
Zhou Wenlian didn't have a bad impression of her, and saw that she looked frightened and anxious, opened her mouth and closed her mouth and only begged him to save her, and thought that something had happened to Gu Wangye, so she hurriedly asked, Zhaohua had to quickly explain his situation clearly, Zhou Wenlian immediately reacted, as long as he could stop this marriage, he would do Gu Wangye a great favor, and he could also frustrate the Luan family, so he took out his clothes and let Zhaohua change them, grabbed a handful of mud from the ground casually, and smeared some dust on his face, Zhaohua couldn't care about it for a while, and let it go, Let Zhou Wenlian bring her into this ancient temple.
At this moment, Zhaohua looked at Zhou Wenlian, who was sitting on the futon and directing her to run before and after, and he was angry, and scolded: "What do you mean by this, I am annoyed?" I'm the county lord, I order you to help me, you dare to slack off? ”
Zhou Wenlian glanced at her and said, "There is no doubt about employing people, if the county lord doesn't believe me, just go." ”
Zhaohua was so angry that he sat down in front of him, stretched out his hand over the short few and snatched the tea cup in Zhou Wenlian's hand, leaned on the table and said, "A cup of wild tea is also worth your taste?" You don't pretend to be a worldly master in front of me, I hate those sanctimonious people the most! ”
Zhou Wenlian said with a smile: "Look at what the county lord said, I am the prince's person, and I can't please the county lord." Wild tea has its own taste of wild tea, the taste of the world is million, I prefer this wild tea, what's not to do. ”
Zhaohua glanced at him and said: "You just rushed to slap me to please me, I won't look at you more, I don't care how many powerful people in the capital are waiting to slap me, let alone you are a rural villager?" Although my father looks up to you, but in my opinion, you are a scoundrel, a scoundrel! When Zhou Wenlian heard this, he suddenly stared at her with a dark and solemn face.
Zhaohua's heart tightened, this wilderness, in fact, she was also very scared in the face of this strange man in her heart, pretending to be fierce, and repeatedly mentioning the identity of the county lord was just to give herself courage, she also thought that she had annoyed him with a momentary gaffe, and when she saw Zhou Wenlian staring at her, she immediately changed her face in fright, and touched her waist casually, and came out in a hurry, she didn't even bring a dagger, only felt a roar in her head, but she still didn't dare to show her timidity, stood up, so that she could escape at any time, and pointed at Zhou Wenlian and said: "You ...... Look at what I'm doing, don't look at it! ”
Her voice was already trembling, Zhou Wenlian heard it, and couldn't help but sneer and said: "You said that it is difficult for the prince and grandson in the capital to let you take a look, then you have looked at me several times today, have I earned it?" Zhaohua's face was hot, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded: "You scoundrel, scoundrel!" ”
Zhou Wenlian flicked his sleeves, sat back in his place, picked up the teacup and said, "Don't dare, how dare I be rude to the county lord, I'm just joking with the county lord." I'm not fit to play such a joke with you. ”
Zhaohua glanced at him and said, "You still have the yin of self-knowledge!" ”
Zhou Wen said slowly: "Prince Gu and I are friends who are not rebellious, and they are also friends who forget the year, counting, I am still your uncle, how can you say that there is an uncle who jokes with his niece all the time, isn't that a joke?" You say yes, little niece? Zhaohua threw a futon at him and returned to his room angrily.
