Chapter Ninety-Nine: King Yi crosses the border, carrying beads in sacks

"Why do you ask me this question?" Wen Zhen blinked strangely, "The person you want to pursue is him, and the one you like is also him, and it has nothing to do with me, you should ask him." ”

Fang Sleeve stopped talking, fell into deep thought, clapped his hands for a while, and suddenly said, "I understand." ”

Wen Zhen looked at her with a smile.

Hopefully she can really understand.

Judging from those autumn water eyes, this is a beauty, and I hope not to be big-chested.

When it comes to her talents, she is definitely not as good as this beauty with a strange painting style, but Tang Xianzhi chose her, regardless of whether there is a conspiracy and political factors, a wealthy family like the Tang family does not necessarily need to marry, Tang Xianzhi must be different from her to have such a proposal.

That's different, naturally not because of her intelligence and beauty. In this world, there are more people who are smarter and more beautiful than her.

What attracts them is nothing more than the uniqueness that has been nurtured by modern cultural concepts, the self-confidence and self-esteem that belong to her. Compared to these women who are subordinate to men, she has her own soul.

A truly powerful man will not like the same porcelain dolls.

Just like the woman in front of her, she is beautiful and stylish, but the first question she asks is still "What do you rely on to win Mr. Tang's favor?" ”

Put men in a position of honor, objectify themselves, and treat women as vassals.

So the answer to the last two questions, Wen Zhen is igniting her - working hard in order to make everyone like it, it is useless for people like Tang Xianzhi, it is better to work hard to be yourself.

Looks like she got it.

She's a smart woman.

And beautiful.

It's also a little chic, and it's different from the wild and chic like Concubine De, which is a little coquettish.

She thinks it's quite suitable for Tang Xianzhi, but unfortunately this one doesn't seem to think so, there is no smile in his beautiful and transparent eyes.

On the other side, Fang Sleeve suddenly kneaded the cloth in his hand, threw it at her, and said, "Give it to you as a thank you gift." ”

Before Wen Zhen stretched out his hand, Tang Xianzhi had already copied it in his hand, looked down and couldn't help but be stunned.

At this time, the cloth had been turned over, and it was densely packed with words, and before Wen Zhen could see it clearly, he heard Tang Xian's words: "It seems to be a mantra handed down by Fang Ren and his family, which is the kind of technique he used for you before." ”

Immediately, I heard Fang Sleeve laugh again: "This thing is very domineering, whether you want to practice it or not is up to you." You don't have to thank me, you know what I mean. ”

Wen Zhen probably understands. When Fang He used this technique to make a needle for himself, he felt that life was worse than death, it must be extremely domineering and terrifying, Fang Sleeve Ke gave her this may not be really good, it is purely another test.

Although chic, after all, it is inevitable that he will not be unwilling. However, she is a conspiracy, and her uneasiness and kindness are also in the clear.

Wen Zhen put it away first. As long as it is not poisonous, she wants it, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.

She thought she was going back to the boat, but Tang Xianzhi took her to turn left and again, turned into a quiet alley, bought a bag of candy at the mouth of the alley, and then knocked on the knocker of an ordinary person's door.

There was a woman's voice in the courtyard, delicate, I don't know what to say in the local local language, Tang Xianzhi actually replied in the local language, the door opened, and a dark-skinned girl smiled and stood against the door, Wen Zhen was thinking that Brother Tang would not have another suitor, so he saw the girl cheering, snatching the candy from Tang Xianzhi's hand, and quickly stuffing it into his mouth, while dragging him into the house.

Tang Xianzhi also dragged Wen Zhen in, the room was very dark, full of the fishy smell of sea water, the only thing that shone was probably only the girl's particularly smooth skin, Wen Zhen since entering Dingyao City, saw many such girls, most of them were short in stature, their limbs were strong, their skin didn't know what to rub, and it was shining brightly, this is Dingyao's sea girl, who has been specially trained to go to the sea to fish for pearls since childhood, and her skin is tanned by the sun.

Tang Xianzhi muttered a few words to her, and the girl went to the back room to bring a big box, and as soon as the box was opened, Wen Zhen was almost dazzled.

It was full of pearls, all kinds of colors, golden, white, pale pink, purple, black, silver...... Almost all the colors that pearls can have. Because of the abundant light, abundant sea life, and good seawater quality, the pearls produced are also more rounded than other places, huge, less flawed, high gloss, and diverse colors, and are the best pearl origins in Dongtang, and the pearls in this box are the best of the best, each of them has a big finger, and the five colors are gorgeous, so that Wen Zhen, the soil bun, feels the true feeling of the word "jewelry" for the first time.

She couldn't help but snort at Yan Sui in her heart, thinking to herself what was the use of using public power to cut off the jeweler's pearls? People take it directly from the source.

Tang Xianzhi seemed to be very satisfied, handed over a note, and the sea girl was very happy to accept it, and held the box to Wen Zhen together. Wen Zhen was taken aback - there are hundreds of pearls in this box, and almost every one of them is of high value, which adds up to an astronomical amount, so she gave it to her like this?

But she didn't hesitate to take it, she has always disliked being petty.

Tang Xianzhi still regretfully said to her: "It's a pity that there are no finished products here, so you can only buy pearls first, and then find a good craftsman to make them for you." ”

When the girl heard him say this, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and pulled Wen Zhen to go to the inner room. Tang Xianzhi smiled: "Do you still have good things?" After receiving an affirmative reply, he said, "I won't go into the inner room, so you can go with her, and if you see anything you like, take it." ”

Wen Zhen followed the sea girl around a corridor and entered her boudoir, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a person in the room raised his head and said, "Shui Xiang, what do you think of this style?" ”

Wen Zhen didn't expect that there were still people in the house, and couldn't help but be stunned, the girl in the house had a beautiful appearance and was dressed quite extraordinary, and when she saw her at this moment, she was also stunned, but she was not too surprised. probably thought that she was also a guest who came to buy beads, so she just nodded casually. He lowered his head to study again, and kept comparing the things on the table with the pearls.

Shui Xiang pointed to Wen Zhen on the table, it turned out to be a booklet, which was a variety of pearl jewelry styles, Wen Zhen took a look, I have to say that the style is quite novel in this era, there are actually embroidered shoes shaped toe decorated with pearls, this booklet seems to be brought by the girl, and I want to choose some suitable pearls according to the style to customize.

This is someone else's thing, Wen Zhen is naturally not easy to choose, and was about to say goodbye, but he heard the girl say to the sea girl: "When people get married, it's okay to send a pearl chain, right?" You see, this heart is good. ”

Wen Zhen took a look, the picture was a heart-shaped pendant made of pearls, the style was not ugly, the problem was that the pearls here were too big, once they were put together into a heart, they had to be half a palm.

Imagined a half-palm-sized heart-shaped pendant hanging on his chest - Wen Zhen thought that which unlucky guy got married to receive such a stupid gift, it really deserves sympathy hahaha.

Before I could finish haha, I heard the girl complain again: "Tang Xianzhi inexplicably married an inexplicable woman, and invited people to watch the ceremony, so I had to go to you all night to find pearls, tired to death!" ”

Wen Zhen: "......"

The sea lady muttered a few words, but the girl didn't understand her language, couldn't get resonance, and felt bored, so she beckoned to Wen Zhen familiarly, "This girl, you help me take a look, what do you think of this pendant?" ”

Wen Zhen had to work his image at the wedding, "This young lady, I think although this pendant is very good, it is too big." I don't know what kind of figure the bride you want to give a gift is, if she is tall, if she is not enough, I am afraid that it will look abrupt. ”

"Well," said the maiden at once, "you have reminded me that the bride is a lady!" ”

Wen Zhen: "......"

You are a child, and your whole family is a child.

"Then you can't choose this." The girl turned the page and frowned, "I don't know where the messy person came from, I heard that he is a cook." Tang Wu can be regarded as the first person in our group, but his vision of choosing a woman is really not flattering. That's it, almost all the young generation of the nine great families were invited, and they wanted to marry at sea...... How about this? ”

She pointed to a pear-shaped earring, picked up a black bead with a brilliant green glow, compared it, and said, "This is beautiful." ”

Wen Zhen also thought it was good-looking, the quality of the pearl was not much worse than her own box, and she wanted to praise her taste and fight for another capital for herself, so she said: "The black pearl is too expensive, and a person with such an identity will get a so-so bead...... You say, don't you? ”

She asked Wen Zhen what she said, and Wen Zhen smiled, "Yes, that's very true." It's too good to give away things, and it's a loss. ”

The girl nodded frequently, "Yes." The daughter of the countryside, you don't recognize the good things, do you? Isn't this flattering for the blind? ”

Wen Zhen: "......"

The blind man seems to be kissing you.

She simply pointed to a headdress made of rice beads and suggested to her, "This young lady, look at this bead flower, the flower head is big, and it looks very luxurious, but the beads are all rice beads, and it shouldn't cost you much silver." ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" The girl clasped her palms together and exclaimed, "That's another saving." Brother Yi, I can't laugh anymore, I don't understand the economy, it's not good to be fed! ”

Wen Zhen thinks about Yi Jia? Changchuan Yi or Nishikawa Yi? Changchuan Yi was hit hard last time, and he has never had any contact with the major families, so it should be Xichuan Yi.

Listening to this girl's tone, it should be the fiancΓ©e of an important child of the Xichuan Yi family? Could it be the legendary little boy of the Yi family who is good at organs and has outstanding intelligence? This girl herself seems to be from a gate valve, so I don't know which family's daughter she is.

She smiled and accosted the girl a few words, then withdrew, thinking as she walked, Tang Xianzhi invited the nine major families to watch the ceremony at sea this time, is it really just to watch the ceremony?

The nine major families are scattered everywhere, even if they are only the younger generation, it also takes time, and Tang Xianzhi's marriage proposal has not been a few days now, so the question is, either Tang Xianzhi has already prepared for this sea gathering and sent invitations to the guests in advance, or the young generation of the nine major families has been in this area recently.

Either way, it doesn't seem like a good idea.

She withdrew and told Tang Xianzhi that the sea girl showed her some more unrestrained designs, but she didn't think it was suitable, so she didn't ask for it. Tang Xianzhi didn't ask much.

The two got into the carriage, and the old lady, who had not appeared before, was already waiting in the carriage.

Wen Zhen felt slightly apologetic in his heart, thinking that he followed Tang Xianzhi in order to avoid Yan Sui's tracking, so he traveled for a long distance and kept changing cars and horses, and he was a little uneasy to burden the old lady's hard work.

The old lady Wen was blind and blind, as if she guessed her thoughts, praised Tang Xianzhi in front of her, and sent her directly to a luxury inn after entering the city, so she rested for a while. There was no fatigue at all.

She didn't seem to feel that she was also a lure for recourse at all, and Kua Tang Xianzhi seemed to be really praising her very satisfied grandson-in-law.

Wen Zhen also looked at Tang Xianzhi with a smile, as if this was really her grandmother's favorite husband.

It is estimated that 99% of the people in this world will inevitably faint when they are treated by this pair of grandchildren with sincere praise and sweetness, and they will inevitably faint when they are perfectly dealt with.

But Tang Xianzhi was still like that, he also smiled sincerely, and even a little shy, and said directly and apologetically that in order to avoid chasing, the old lady was tired and hard, which was really unfilial.

Wen Zhen was shocked by the two words of unfilial piety, and secretly slandered the four words of dodging and chasing, did he secretly diss Yan Sui in front of the old lady?

The carriage went straight to the dock, but when it was still a hundred feet away from the dock, it suddenly startled the horse, and the horse broke into a house on the side of the road.

The door of the house was open, there was no threshold, and the door was very wide. The carriage was able to drive straight in.

Just after the carriage entered, Wen Zhen lifted the curtain and looked back, and saw the threshold rise, the door appeared, and the whole portal became the same pattern as all the houses in the city. Outside the door, four identical carriages drove towards the docks.

And his own carriage was still moving forward, but it was actually going down. Descending and descending, until they passed through a clump of flowers and trees, a hole suddenly appeared in front of them.

It was strange to see the hole in the backyard of a house, but the carriage didn't stop into the hole.

Then she realized that it was really through the mountains.

This family is suitable for pretending, people say that there is a mine at home, and his family can say that there is a mountain at home.

Of course, it is a small mountain, and it is a very short process to cross the mountain, but this is in ancient times, digging through the mountain in ancient times, not in northern Sichuan, in the inconspicuous coastal city far away from northern Sichuan, the Tang family can actually make such a huge project, and this project obviously can't play too much role, and now it is used as a tool for the heir of his family to get rid of his rival - Wen Zhen feels that the days of peace in Dongtang may not be too long.

Following Tang Xianzhi along this road, she became more and more deeply touched by the huge power of the Tang family, or is it that sentence, if it is in northern Sichuan, what is it like?

If it is in northern Sichuan, Tang Xianzhi does not need to bother to hide his tracks like this, if it is in northern Sichuan, Yan Sui is afraid that it will be very difficult to chase him.

She remembered that the emperor had agreed to marry that day, and after she agreed, he said a few more words to her. It means that agreeing to marry is also an adventure in itself, because I am not sure whether Tang Xianzhi, who has always been peaceful, intends to take the opportunity to make trouble in the name of marriage, but since he asked for it, the courtiers are happy to see it, and they have to agree if they don't agree. After all, everyone still expects to rely on this marriage to delay or press down as much as possible possible in the future, and in the face of temptation, people are easy to forget many dangerous possibilities.

Wen Zhen knew in her heart that for her, this was a transaction and an adventure. success, she will be richly rewarded; If you lose, you may never come back.

Wealth and danger are sought.

Anyway, I don't want to ask for it from the status of the princess.

Sounds cheesy.

The carriage swept through the cave, and Tang Xianzhi beside her smiled and told her about the interesting story of the cave excavation, Wen Zhen listened, thinking that the heir of the huge family, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of opportunities, and they all know what happened to the workers when digging a cave in a city thousands of miles away.

A thought crossed her mind.

In this way, the people who are constantly confused and changed, and the people who are tracking will be constantly scattered......

My eyes lit up, and I came out of the cave.

When I got out of the cave, I saw the pier, but not far from the pier, in another hidden direction, a boat was parked.

Getting on the boat and setting sail, Wen Zhen glanced back and admired it in his heart.

The special Tang Xianzhi is also a dog. was chased like this, thinking that he would definitely have to take a land route to confuse Yan Sui, but he didn't expect him to insist on taking the water route.

Where is Yan Sui now?

……

Yan Sui is now reading the letter.

Sitting at the table in the boudoir of the ama's house, I read the letter for the third time.

Tang Xianzhi guards against men and women and does not enter people's inner rooms, he doesn't have this taboo, there are no men and women in his eyes, only humans with fish lips and humans who don't look so good at fish lips.

So after he sat down, he not only read the letter, but also knew the conversation between Wen Zhen and the girl before, as well as the jewelry styles that the two had seen.

He read the letter carefully, standing behind him with slanted eyes, feeling that this seemed to be a foreign text, and the words like this ghost drawing symbol also knew something, after all, he was close to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness was very busy fighting at night for a while This kind of ghost painting talisman was very cold and night for a while, and even took him to learn some, I was afraid that one day the master would have a whim, and suddenly give an order in foreign characters, and he couldn't understand it, and the master would not let him go because this was a foreign language.

But after looking at it for a long time, there was still no way to judge the content of the letter, and it looked like it was in foreign language, but whether it was read horizontally, vertically, at the top, or at the end, it was impossible to read the coherent content. But the content is very regular, and it is obviously not a scribble.

The master looked very seriously, and it didn't look like he didn't understand, and he couldn't help but sigh - the master was really inhuman.

When Yan Sui finally finished reading this pit thing, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then realized that because of this thing, he had been delayed for half an hour.

The black-hearted cake, it's intentional, right?

He put away the letter and put it into a small waterproof bag close to his body, and then turned around and walked out, and the respected people followed him, carrying the heavy bag, and the beads of various colors were faintly revealed in the gaps in the lines of the bag.

Well, Yiwang transits, sacks carry beads.

……

Wen Zhen stood on the new boat, looking at the dark water.

This ship is still not big or small, it can have a certain amount of equipment, and it does not hinder the speed, ahead, known as the "embroidered city" of Zhangxian County.

This time, someone on the dock greeted him, and the battle was not small, Wen Zhen heard Tang Xianzhi's subordinates report that it was the local county guard and the county order to pick up the son. I thought to myself that this time it would be good, it seems that there will be no one to start a stumbling block from the official family in advance.

The people on the shore waved their hands warmly, Wen Zhen thought that the people in Zhangxian County were so enthusiastic, so strange and embarrassed, so he also smiled and waved his hand, and for a moment he thought of a famous text, and suddenly his claws waved more frequently.

Beside him, for some reason, Tang Xianzhi's brows were slightly locked, watching her wave her paws, and glance at her sideways, with a slight smile in her eyes.

Wen Zhen was surprised, and then he heard the words of the people on the shore clearly.

The leader of a middle-aged black-bearded man shouted: "Tang Gongzi, please return quickly!" Embroidery workshops and Zhuangzi in Zhangxian County have been instigated by people and are rioting collectively, it is not safe here, please return quickly! ”

Wen Zhen: "......"

It's wrong!

……

Yan Sui continued to walk towards the dock, and the people followed.

There are doubts in their hearts, after all, in their opinion, they will be able to catch up with Tang Xianzhi sooner or later, after all, there are many restrictions on the water, the number of ships is limited, it is difficult to hide people's eyes, if Tang Xianzhi really wants to get rid of them, now it is right to change carriages and take the land route and merge into the sea of people.

Therefore, they have sent people to various cities to inquire and look for traces.

But His Highness's thinking has always been different, and it seems that he still plans to take the waterway?

The team of words who detected the information in front came back, and said that someone saw Tang Xianzhi's carriage going to the dock. But some people also said that they had seen Tang Xianzhi's carriage startling horses in front of a family.

As usual, he wanted to send someone to check these two places, but Yan Sui waved his hand, didn't look at the gate of the startling horse at all, and went straight to the dock.

De Jong Yangong followed behind Yan Sui with a confused expression, and in order to catch up with the progress of His Highness's IQ, he had to ask for advice, "Your Highness, why don't we go to check on the suspicious places?" ”

Although it is more painful every time I face His Highness's indifferent gaze of "you fish-lipped humans", it is even more painful to feel that I am a fool when I can't keep up with His Highness's IQ.

"Where is the house where the accident occurred?"

Yan Fa quickly called up the local map he had just collected, looked at it, and said, "It seems to be quite far from the dock and the official road out of the city......

Yan Sui's eyes swept over, he shivered, hurriedly looked at it carefully, and then suddenly said, "Ah, no, although it is far from the official road, it is far from the dock...... Behind it is a hill, and if you go through it, it is water...... But it's impossible......"

His voice grew lower.

"If you don't choose a place that is convenient to go to the official road as a trick, it means that you don't plan to take the land route, since you don't plan to take the land route, it must be the water route, since it is a water route, what does it matter if you don't take the pier? Just find a way that leads directly to the waterfront. ”

De Jong's speech workers shut up in unison - to speak lightly, another pair of bigwigs against each other. Is it a normal thing for a normal person to do a mountain and a road?

Through all kinds of dazzling tricks, go straight to the center, is it something that normal people can do?

Tang Xianzhi took the waterway, but he didn't pass the wharf, and Yan Sui didn't care whether he passed through the wharf or not, he just took the waterway.

After all, it is the fastest to take the waterway to Zhangxian.

This time it's not a light boat, it's a big boat.

It's close to the mouth of the sea. After passing Zhangxian County, we entered the Wuhai Sea.

De Rong's workers came to ask if they needed to get off the boat in Zhangxian County, after tracking day and night along the way, the people in the rear had not yet followed, and the information transmission personnel in front had withdrawn a lot in order to transmit information, and Yan Sui himself brought many people who were scattered to check all kinds of feints, and they couldn't keep up for a while, and there was a group of people who did not appear from the beginning, and it was said that they were sent out by His Highness to carry out secret missions. Now all that is left around him is a respectful and radiant face, and he is a skilled craftsman who follows his words.

If you get off the ship in Zhangxian, it is far away from Tianjing, and there are few people, so if something happens, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of it.

There is even a layer of worry in the center of gravity, what is the purpose of Tang Xianzhi leading His Royal Highness all the way to the sea like this? I always feel that it is not just a simple trip to the mountains and rivers with Miss Wen.

Now because of the distance near the water, the information can't keep up, and the situation in Zhangxian County is not very clear, not to mention what happens on the vast sea after going to sea, no one can predict.

But he couldn't stop His Highness, so he could only pray secretly, and secretly scolded Gong for scheming and making trouble, and deserving to endure more hardships.

In the past few days, while His Highness is not on the ship, they all want to quietly pull Gong Yu up to take a breath, but Gong Yu has always been stubborn, and he refused to get on the ship, so most of the time, they pulled him up and hung him on the side of the ship, anyway, just don't get in the way of His Highness's eyes.

Zhangxian County in front is already in sight, it is dusk at this time, twilight is four, the scenery on the shore is not very clear, but there is a faint noise coming, it seems that the shore is very lively. You can also see a lot of running shadows.

Then Yan Sui suddenly said "Huh".

It must not be a trivial matter for him to make such a sound, and when a few people jumped, they looked up and saw that someone rushed to the pier that stretched into the water for a long time, splashed a large bucket of something, and then threw out a fire fold, and with a bang, the dock caught fire!

……
