Chapter 18: Appearance

June 12, 2nd year.

In the palace of Luancheng in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, hundreds of officials retreated.

Xie Changfang and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites talked about the matter of the court as they walked.

Xie Changfang had just played in the court, and on the grounds of physical discomfort, he begged the emperor to spare him from going to court every day, Qian Yiwen couldn't figure out what Xie Changfang meant, and said suspiciously, "Is the prince really no longer going to the court?" ”

"I'm drinking tea at home, these courts......" Xie Changfang smiled and shook his head, "No matter what......"

Qian Yiwen saw his idle appearance shaking his head, his heart was anxious, and he was about to be asked, when his colleague called behind him, "Lord Wang...... Rajah......

The two stopped and looked together.

The man hurried forward, "What does the prince think of today's events?" The emperor attaches so much importance to this Wang Yan that he has jumped four levels in a row in just half a year, and now he has handed over such an important position to him! ”

Xie Changfang naturally knew about Wang Yan, and when he mentioned this person, he couldn't help but nodded, "I have seen this person once, he is brave and strategic, and he is worthy of a great responsibility!" When a new country was first built, it needed new strength to stabilize it.

This person has been a nameless soldier all the way, has repeatedly broken miraculous feats, worshiped the pioneer in a short period of time, and today he has been promoted to deputy commander, which can be described as a promising future.

"But ......"

The man was about to say something more, but Xie Changfang didn't want to say more, and said, "Don't entangle with you, I'm old, I don't want to care about this court anymore......"

He walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving the two of them looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

The lights in Dongxiang Street are colorful, the lion dance at the door is lively like a celebratory day, and the big word Wangfu on the door plaque is swearing all the glory to everyone.

However, Luancheng is so prosperous, just north of East Lane across these two streets, a restaurant also quietly unveiled a plaque and distributed food to celebrate its opening.

Jing Zhai.

I saw that the woman in charge of the shopkeeper was dressed in brocade, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but when she saw the flowers between her eyebrows, she added a beauty.

Inside the city of Nanjiang.

There are boats docking, and there are people on the shore shouting vigorously.

"Osmanthus cake...... Delicious osmanthus cake ......"

"Sour plum soup, delicious sour plum soup......"

Two women and a man are walking in the distance, the woman led by a white dress is as plain as white paper, and a silver step on her black hair is like an embellishment, she has no rouge, willow leaves and bent eyebrows, her appearance is delicate, and her body reveals a gentle grace of everyone's ladies. The man and woman behind him were all dressed in green clothes, their looks were better than ordinary people, their foreheads were covered with a white forehead, and their eyebrows were covered with small but delicate white jade.

The three of them got on the big boat, and the bystanders reacted, and then they boarded the boat one after another amid the shouts of the boat boss.

This is a six-day trip to the north, all the way along the river, stopping at Yanzhou, Fengcheng, Pingnan, Dali City five locations, and finally stopping at the imperial capital Luancheng.

This boat is a water boat jointly developed by the government and businessmen at the beginning of this year, for convenience, but also for the people's livelihood, but also for money, because of the blessing of the government, it is to sail for half a year, the road has been safe.

"Sail ............"

The big ship, which could accommodate 100 people, set sail all the way to the north, and was silent when it docked at night, for several days.

It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that the ship docked at Fengcheng.

The cries of the morning market came faintly across half the street, and September looked at the flow of people who got off the boat, and said, "Miss, you have eaten quite little these days, I think the food on the ship is unpalatable, this is close to the market, I will buy some delicious food." ”

Gu Rong had just finished freshening up, nodded when she heard the words, and agreed, "Let Qiuyi go together, these days, it's boring to think about it." ”

Qiu Yi was moved when she heard it, and she felt inappropriate, "When I leave, no one is by Miss's side, if there is anything ......"

"It's okay, just work for a while, nothing will happen, go ahead." She pushed the window and saw the noisy market not far from the window, with the vendors shouting for sugar gourds, pastries, buns, etc.

September shook his head at Qiuyi, and the two withdrew.

"What's wrong with Miss? It seems that there is something on the mind. ”

"Miss's mind is still not to guess."

Qiu Yi looked at him who stepped on the shore, worried, "Miss has not been in good health recently, she is always asleep, Jiudong has been to Dongyue for more than two months, and there has been no news back." ”

The hull of the boat shook slightly, and September pulled her ashore, and the two of them stood still, and then said, "I heard from the young lady a few days ago that Jiudong was injured in Dongyue, and it is estimated that it will be delayed for a while. ”

Qiu Yi said worriedly, "Hurt? Can it be heavy?"

The two of them gradually walked towards the market.

Gu Rong opened the narrow door, the corridor was quite deserted, she walked forward for a while, turned a corner and went up to the second floor.

The second floor of the ship is a compartment with ventilation on all sides, set up drinks, a few idle books, calligraphy and paintings, and piano Xiao, sitting on it, you can see all the movements in front of the ship, but it is a rather elegant place, it seems to be for the rich and noble to relieve boredom on the ship.

As soon as I got up, the boat boy who accompanied me on the boat had warmly greeted me, "This girl, what do you want to play with?"

She circled, and her eyes fell on Yaoqin on the case, "If you have nothing to do, can you play a song?" ”

"Naturally, girl, please." The little servant led her over to sit down, and he said as he walked, "This piano is given by the nobles in the palace, and it is extremely prec......ious."

Gu Rong had already handed over a piece of silver, looked down at the piano, and asked, "Is it enough?"

"Enough! Enough! If the girl commands, let it be commanded. The acquaintance withdrew.

Gu Rong sat down, plucked the strings slightly, the aftersound was long, and the fingers fell into a sound, it was indeed a good piano, she paused slightly, her fingertips plucked, and the sound of the piano poured out.

At the beginning, the tune was flat like a trickle of stream, and the aftermath was lingering, but it showed a sense of tranquility in this slightly noisy market, and in the middle the tune became faster, like a calm stream suddenly merging into the rushing river, listening to people's hearts surging, like a general who is not afraid of fighting on the battlefield is charging into battle, the city is not broken, the family is still there, the young general looks ahead, behind him is a million army, I don't know who dies and who wins...... She stopped suddenly, the sound of the piano came to an abrupt halt, she looked down at the strings, and her fingers plucked again, and then they returned to the trickle of water that had just begun, as if the intense strings just now were just auditory hallucinations.

"Good!"

All she could hear was the applause of someone at the bow of the boat, and she followed the sound to see two men with swords.

Gu Rong smiled in return, thanked her, and went down to the second floor to return to the house.

"I never thought that a girl who looks so demure and weak can play such a majestic tune, which is really impressive."

The man on the side nodded in agreement, "I'm afraid there are few people who can compare with this piano skill." ”

The man was surprised, "Brother Dong, this is the first time I've heard this from you. ”

Dong Yu looked at the second floor, where there was no one left, and then sighed, "This woman is extraordinary." ”

The man was about to speak, when he saw someone on the boat, and he couldn't help but rejoice, "Master!"

I saw a man walking up from the plank, wearing a crescent white robe, at first glance it seems to be the same as the clothes of ordinary rich and noble people, but insiders can see at a glance that this dress is cut with a unique southern cloud brocade, a foot of gold is not too much, the man's posture is thin and straight, his steps are gentle, his spirit is as bright as the sun, he is really handsome and extraordinary, but he has no expression on his face, and there is a slight majesty between his eyebrows, which makes people dare not approach.

He nodded, "Tell the boat boss, get out of the boat." ”

"Yes."

After a while, the ship set sail again.

Autumn and September couldn't have imagined it, and after a while, when they came back, the big ship that had just docked was gone.

Gu Rong woke up from a stupor, seeing that the sun was hanging in the middle of the small window, it was already noon, but there was no autumn September in the cabin, guessing that the two of them should have missed the ship, so they had to send a boat junior to send some food.

The boat traveled all the way and soon left the waters of Fengcheng.

The night gradually darkened, but this night was not destined to be a peaceful night.
