Chapter 373: Face?
As soon as Su Xun stretched out his hand, he grabbed the dagger tightly, and raised his hand to slash his face.
"What to do!" Yan Jue was furious, raised his foot and kicked, kicking Su Xun's wrist, and the dagger fell to the ground with a bang.
Wen Zhen threw out the dagger and didn't look at the subsequent development, and had already turned around and got out of the car.
After a while, Yan Jue also got out of the car, angrily rushed to another car, and gave the order to set off, and the officials of Dai County, who had been waiting for a long time, surrounded the convoy of the two and went to the city.
After entering the city, the county magistrate had already prepared his official office and let it be lived by His Royal Highness and Lord Thorn. and chartered the best local restaurant for the two nobles to pick up the wind and wash the dust, Wen Zhen followed Yan Jue closely throughout the whole process, and even asked the courtyard to be close to His Royal Highness, seeing that Yan Jue was depressed, and shouted: "This king hates the aroma of fat powder, let her live farther away!" ”
When he arrived at the restaurant, Yan Jue, who was sitting in the chief, sneered at the banquet again: "With the kitchen god of our East Hall, how dare these third-rate chefs show their skills!" ”
"yes." Wen Zhen sat down at his bottom and rolled up his sleeves with a smile, "Or, I will personally wash my hands and make soup for His Highness?" ”
Yan Jue glanced at her snow-white little hands, and looked carefully at the hands that were not very delicate, and the joints were full of layers of cocoons caused by intensive training in a short period of time, and fine scars left by years of training and cooking, such hands made him suddenly startled, suddenly sobered up a lot, and immediately smiled: "This king is just talking, what kind of identity is Lord Assassin, how can he perform such a cheap servant!" ”
Wen Zhen had a touched expression: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding." Thinking back to the beginning, I knew His Highness from Sanshui Town, and was brought to Tianjing by His Highness until now, Wen Zhen has always been taken care of by His Highness. His Royal Highness has always been so generous and benevolent, which is really admirable. ”
She said it sincerely, and the officials were confused when they heard it - why, the legend says that His Royal Highness King Ding and Lord Wen are not in harmony, isn't it true?
Even Yan Jue was in a trance for a moment, as if the previous grievances with Wen Zhen did not exist, he and she had known each other for a long time, and there was the original grace of taking care of her!
However, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the smiling eyes of the woman opposite under the candlelight, and the pale blue wine glow in the snow-white fingers, and the wine was delivered to his lips, exuding a greasy sweet fragrance, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
This she-fox who is good at camouflage and demagoguery!
The wine had already been saluted in front of him, and he wanted to play his violent temper and embarrass Wen Zhen, but somehow, a scene in the car flashed by like lightning before, he looked down at his bare nails, and took the wine with a cold snort,
Then he quietly poured into his own collar.
And this reception of wine is tantamount to acquiescing to the statement that "it has nothing to do with Master Wen". Dai County officials quietly glanced at each other.
After that, the food was served like flowing water, Wen Zhen ate calmly, this time she was cautious, she was eating, and Wen Dandan was hanging on the lantern at the entrance of the restaurant.
Yan Jue got drunk without taking a few bites and was carried back. Wen Zhen respects his glass of wine, it is a wine Gu, drinking it can relieve hangover, if you don't drink it, it will catalyze the strength of the wine, Yan Jue poured it on the collar, take a sip and smell it, it's strange if you don't get drunk.
Yan Jue was drunk, his guards were like a great enemy, and they protected Yan Jue like an iron bucket, and sent him back to the courtyard to rest, all the guards surrounded his bedroom in three layers and three layers outside, and they all wore masks, for fear that Lord Wen would be unhappy, and let the birds poison them to kill their highness.
Wen Zhen glanced by and smiled back to his yard. These fools don't want to think about it, Yan Jue has arrived in Huzhou, and she is responsible for her safety, how can she attack him? It's too late to protect him.
However, she won't remind Yan Jue, in case Yan Jue reacts, what should she do in order to frame her from the palace?
There is also a possibility to be considered, that is, how much did those Xiaoxiao who were secretly haunting put their hands into Huzhou? Is there any collusion with Huzhou officials? Is there a tacit understanding with Yanjue? Or do they go their own way?
Or is this itself a game that can be split at any time?
Because if she had really colluded into a monolith, she wouldn't have been able to get here.
Wen Zhen thought all the way to the courtyard, stopped in front of the courtyard gate, looked at it for a while, and ordered people to find some medicine and water, only to let Caisang follow him, and then entered the courtyard.
The door was closed, he entered the house, the lamp was lit, and when the light came on, Cai Sang let out a low exclamation.
Under the corridor sat the bloodstained Su Xun.
Wen Zhen was not surprised, if Su Xun couldn't appear here at this moment, he would have rescued her in vain.
The dagger she threw out in the sedan chair had a mechanism in it, and there was a very thin dagger in the dagger, she guessed that Yan Jue would stop Su Xun from killing himself, so after the dagger was kicked away by Yan Jue, the light one inside would naturally fall near Su Xun, as for whether Su Xun could get the dagger to untie her rope, she wouldn't care so much.
After that, she gave Yan Jue a wine Gu, made Yan Jue drunk, transferred all the guards, and gave Su Xun a chance to escape from the carriage.
Su Xun escaped from the carriage and naturally came to her.
Outside, Cai Sang helped Su Xun bandage his wounds, and asked him how he was caught by Yan Jue, and learned that he and the eldest girl originally wanted to go to Huzhou to find friends, but were inadvertently bumped into by Yan Jue, and he found that Yan Jue looked at him wrongly, so he deceived the eldest girl to go first, and he was caught by Yan Jue, and met Wen Zhen on the second day.
Cai Sang sighed a few times, gave him the dry food and water he had sent, and said, "Let's go." Cover your face, and no one will tell you that your face will cause trouble...... Oh, don't you...... If you want to scratch your face, don't do it in front of people...... Why are you ...... like that?"
The paper door was opened with a bang, and a mask was thrown at Su Xun's feet with a thud.
"It is unfilial piety for the parents of the body to be easily damaged. Wear it. Wen Zhen's voice, which had no tone, came.
Su Xun glanced at the paper door, the light behind the paper door was faint, outlining the broad outline of the girl's clothes, but the face line was still thin and exquisite, and the chin was pointed and pretty, revealing some lazy charm.
After a while, he slowly picked up the mask, and Cai Sang quickly made a burden and pushed him, "Let's go, let's go." ”
Every time she saw this person's face, she felt uncomfortable, and always felt that the more he stayed, the more dangerous some people were.
Su Xun didn't move.
Wen Zhen ignored him and slowly weighed the medicinal herbs.
In the box that Mr. Liu gave her, in addition to a few herbs, there are several prescriptions, some for external injuries, some for dystocia, and some for congenital weakness, and one of them is to detoxify and nourish the fetus.
This is exactly what she desperately needs. She was unlucky, she was pregnant when she shouldn't have been pregnant, tossing all the way, unavoidable dangers, and she couldn't avoid always being accompanied by Gu and poison, no matter how strong her physique was, she couldn't avoid worrying.
And this recipe can help her isolate these external aggressions and take care of the fetus.
Therefore, Wen Zhen eats every day and handles it personally, making sure that it is perfect.
Outside the house, Su Xun finally said, "I want to stay." ”
"Why?"
"How can you not repay the grace of saving your life?"
"Newspaper? What do you get in return? Wen Zhen's tone didn't sound sarcastic, but it was even more embarrassing, "Can you carry the basket or can you bear it?" As far as I know, you don't know martial arts? Maybe you'll write an article? But I don't think you'll write better than Zhang Yue. So what do I want you to do? Face head? ”
Cai Sang blinked, and suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
Look at her young lady, even if she doesn't wait to see Her Royal Highness again, there is no place for the rest of her heart.
The face is no longer alike.
While rejoicing, he began to sympathize again, seeing that Su Xun's head was about to fall to the ground at the bottom of the steps, he really couldn't imagine what kind of expression His Royal Highness Ku Xiao was on now.
After Wen Zhen finished speaking, she was ready to sleep, she knew that Su Xun couldn't stay long, the young man seemed to be gentle and arrogant.
Outside, a conversation between Caisang and him came from the house.
"Let's go, this is the silver tael that the young lady gave you. You put on your mask, do whatever you want. ”
"Please thank you for me. You don't have to ...... silver taels."
"By the way, Miss asked me to ask you, before in Xiaoye Village, on the roof of the fire, the eldest girl almost lost her footing, but somehow, she seems to have been saved by you, how did you save it?"
“……”
"What's wrong?"
“…… How do you see that? ”
"It's not me, it's the young lady who sees it. If you want to repay the miss, then answer this question. ”
"This is my secret and I can't tell anyone. Since it was the young lady who asked...... That's my natural ability, and that's a bit of a...... I can look back on a little bit of time for others, a little bit, just a moment, just once a day......"
With a bang, Wen Zhen suddenly opened the paper door.
"I've changed my mind."
"You stay."
……
That night, Lord Thorn slipped away again.
Originally, the local officials saw that Lord Assassin Shi had few guards with him, so he wanted to arrange a guard vigil for the adult, but the adult refused. Not only did he refuse, but he also said that if someone did something else, he might be punished. He drew a yellow line outside the courtyard where he was staying, during which the local officials tentatively sent a kitchen servant to deliver supper, but the person fell three feet away from the yellow line, carried him back and slept for three days before waking up.
After this experience, no one dared to come within three feet of the yellow line.
His Royal Highness Dingwang drove her far away because Wen Zhen asked to live next door, so he couldn't know her movements in the middle of the night - in the middle of the night, Wen Zhen calmly opened the back door of the county office, set up a car, threw off His Royal Highness who had finished using it, and ran to her Huzhou again.
This hand was unexpected, and when Dai County stayed up until noon the next day, and finally had to ask cautiously, only to find that the house had already been empty.
Her carriage was specially made, shock-absorbing and weight-reducing to accelerate, and it was almost noon when she arrived at the gate of Huzhou.
Different from the old checkpoint in Dai County, the city gate of Huzhou is wide open, the crowd comes and goes very busy, most of the people enter and exit from the side door, so that the side gate is very crowded, there is a huge color building every few zhang at the main gate, a total of three, and the red carpet is also rolled out, and the old man looks like waiting for someone to get married.
There are still a lot of craftsmen here, and they are building the fourth color building, and it seems that if Lord Thorn Shi does not come for a day, this flower building will be planted endlessly.
This made everyone look sideways as they passed by the side door.
Human psychology is like this, for overly exaggerated behavior, there will always be a bad first impression, even if you know that it may not be the original intention of others.
What's more, the side door is small, the flow of people is long, and the flow of people is blocked for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be complaints.
On the red carpet, Huang Qingsong yawned in Huzhou Zhizhong and said: "I heard that Daixian County followed Lord Assassin Shi, and he was deflated, but His Royal Highness King Dingwang also arrived, and I think Lord Assassin Shi will definitely not be able to go to Huzhou today...... Wang Beijia is also too careful, and he has to come and guard it now. ”
The subordinate officer next to him smiled cautiously: "Yes, yes, why is this so? Lord Thorn Shi was stopped in Dai County, didn't he dare to attack? We're here with a lot of flowers, so there's not much to say. ”
"What can she have a seizure? The details of the ledger have not been handed over, the subordinate officers have not yet been seen, the key is that the army has not yet arrived, so she will take a thorn history seal letter, who can she command? ”
……
Turn in from the city gate, cross the wide bluestone street, walk through the famous Bangliu Bridge in Huzhou City, pass through the perennial flowery Siming Flower Market, and turn over the white marble railing of Nanshui Square, which is carved with the eighteen scenes of Huzhou, which is also a scene, and you can see the open space in front of Huzhou Prefecture, and at this moment, a large group of scholars in green clothes and white robes are sitting in black.
The imperial court will open the imperial examination this year, and the state school has been established one after another before, and the outstanding students recommended by the probation system must go through the process of studying in the state school.
The state students are different from the poor scholars in the Sanwen Book House, and most of the students who are elected by the probation system are from well-off families, ignoring general affairs, not asking about the world, and only burying their heads in study.
At this moment, these outstanding students were shivering in the cold wind of early spring, and everyone was staring at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of them, if there was murderous in their eyes, those white papers must have been poked with countless holes.
Huzhou Don't drive Wang Hao to sit on the stone platform above, look at the stack of poems handed over, frown and look at it for a long time, slapped it on the table, and said: "On weekdays, I eat and drink well, but I can't write a decent article!" ”
Someone at the bottom said angrily: "The text carries the Tao, the song is Yongzhi, how can you be flattering to the powerful!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Wang Hao was furious, "The history of the literary assassin is a famous minister, and the name of the kitchen god moves the world." She is now in Huzhou, which is the luck of my Huzhou! She likes poetry, so let you wait for her to make a gift and collect it into a book, so that the Lord Assassin can see the talent of my Huzhou genius, isn't it a good story for the ages? ”
A staff member next to him said with a smile: "Wen Assassin Shi was born as a female official in the harem, once a female history, she was on the rise, such an encounter is really a legend, there is a lot to write, there is a lot to write." ”
Another staff member said: "Even if you are waiting to search for dry intestines, there is really no good sentence, and you can also write about His Royal Highness King Nayi's ...... to Lord Wen."
One of the staff said, "Silence! Don't talk about royalty! ”
All the scholars below showed disdain.
One said: "Palace maid! ”
One said: "Cook! ”
One said: "Climb the prince!" ”
One said: "Israel's servant!" ”
Everyone said in unison: "Such a woman, a second-class member, and a ruler of one place, is a matter of reversing the program and causing chaos to the dynasty, and now she actually wants me to wait for innocent students to sing praises for her merits and flattery." Where does this place my state school? Where will I put my Huzhou students? Where to put my moral article?! ”
The scholars all bent down and pushed the white paper to their heads.
"Forgive me for not obeying!"
"Forgive me for not obeying!"
……
On the platform, Wang Bei was angry and slammed the table, but a smile flashed in his eyes.
……
At the gate of the city, Huang Qingsong was still chatting with his subordinates.
"Lord Thorn Shi can't be the best today. Otherwise, it's not good to bump into the state school...... Master Jiang can't delay it for too long, in case there is going to be a fuss......"
"Don't drive Lord Jiang has already said it, if you can't hold it off, then don't drag it, Lord Jiang is really going to ......have a seizure" Huang Qingsong's two mouse beards moved, making up a funny and cruel expression, "The student is young and brave, and Lord Jiang is old, in case of conflict, whether something happens to the student or something happens to Master Jiang, in the final analysis, it is all Lord Shi's business...... What's wrong? ”
The two of them looked at each other and both chuckled snickeringly.
……
Extending from the state school square to the southwest corner, the second square of spring and Jingming, is the official office of Huzhou Thorn History, the former Thorn History has gone to Tianjing to report on his work, the new Thorn History has not yet taken office, but this does not prevent the Thorn History Mansion from building a large number of buildings, the entire Thorn History Mansion is being renovated, the project is huge, the craftsmen and the people are like ants, and countless carriages and horses are transporting bricks, wood and stones.
The weather in early spring was still very cold, but the craftsmen who only wore single clothes were sweating profusely, and some people took off their shirts directly, exposing their lean backs, and kept moving wood, moving bricks, building walls, and digging ponds...... Rao is like this, and the people of the county government are holding a long whip, and when they see who stops to wipe their sweat, or take a breath, they whip it over: "Lazy again!" Hurry up! ”
"Smack!"
"Team leader! This one fainted! ”
"Wake him up with cold water! It's going to be lazy! ”
"Good job, team leader! Da Chun is only sixteen years old, and his body has been hot for three days! I can't do it anymore! ”
"Yes, Liu Ban, you are good, the child is still young!"
"You all let me do it, who should I ask me to do it? Hey, they're all villagers, do I want to embarrass everyone? Yes? Isn't this the arrival of Lord Thorn? She wants a new mansion, but the mansion hasn't been built yet? She is coming, what shall we give her? Take this and build half of the house? ”
"Such a big mansion, the project is so urgent, where is the time......
"Don't tell me that. Orders of the Assassin. The old men at the top explained it layer by layer, and the people at the bottom had to carry it to the death. Don't embarrass me, don't embarrass me, embarrass me, embarrass yourselves, have this strength, build one more brick, you can eat less! Okay, less verbose, work hard! ”
"Liu Ban, Liu Ban! Let me go! My wife is about to give birth! She's going to give birth! ”
"What does it matter to a woman giving birth to a baby? Get to work! ”
"Liu Ban! Give me half a day off, I haven't been home for seven days, seven days ago, my wife was sick! I've got to go home and see how sick she is! ”
"It was fine seven days ago, and it's naturally okay now, the house can't be built, sooner or later there will be something, work!"
