Chapter 8: The Beginning of Autumn
Qingluan saw the white and tender Li Lan at a glance, and raised a smile excitedly, "Alan! ”
Li Lan smiled shyly at her, and clenched her fists on the horse: "County Lord Jin An." ”
This is a common way for Qingluan's little followers to meet her.
Qingluan urged the horse to gallop over, looking Li Lan up and down, "Why don't you wear a hat?" After a while, the sun is too strong at noon, and it is not good to peel off the skin. ”
Li Lan pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "I came out in a hurry, I forgot to take it." ”
Qingluan looked back at Yuzhu and said, "Go find a Mi Li for Miss Li." ”
Yuzhu responded, dismounted and went back to the house to find it in person, and the little girl at the door heard the words, and ran back to the house to find Mi Li.
"Why don't you come to the house to look for me these days?" Qingluan asked Li Lan sideways.
Li Lan's fair-skinned little round face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "Yes, it's because my mother is unwell, I serve at home, if I come out to play, it's not good after all." ”
The mother Li Lan said was actually her mother-in-law, General Li's eldest wife, Qian, and Li Lan's biological mother was just a concubine, and she could not be called mother by her children.
"That's right. Is your mother's illness cured now? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to ask you out to play for a few days? ”
Li Lan hurriedly shook her head, "How come, my mother's illness has been cured a few days ago, and now it is not in the way." ”
Her mother-in-law has something sick, but often finds some reasons to grind her, yesterday I heard that the county lord sent a letter in, so she immediately changed her face, and this morning she also specially asked her to change into Sister Di's new clothes. Speaking of which, her mother-in-law is not afraid of anyone, but she is afraid of the eldest princess.
Wei Dehou only has one wife, the eldest princess, and there are no other concubines in the mansion, the county lord will not understand the twists and turns of her family, and Li Lan naturally does not want to be ugly in front of her girlfriends.
Soon, the little girl sent Mi Li out, and Yuzhu took it and gave it to Miss Li to wear.
Qingliang Mountain is about 50 miles away from the capital, it is a very quiet place, full of high pine forests, and half of them are hundreds of years old.
The largest annex at the foot of the mountain is royal, occupying several miles of space, and is surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army patrolling day and night, and no one is allowed to approach it.
The courtyard of the eldest princess's mansion is the closest one to the royal courtyard, there is also a radius of two or three miles, the trees are lush inside, by the mountains and rivers, the courtyard is full of strange flowers and fruit trees, there are two or three courtyards, and one or two acres of vegetable fields are also opened next to the dining room.
The servants and maids who guard the courtyard are usually happy inside, except for cleaning the courtyard room every day, just planting vegetables and taking care of the flowers and seedlings in the garden.
Today, when I learned that the master was coming, I mentioned that I was very attentive, and killed a few chickens raised in the courtyard, and the person in charge of the courtyard also let people slaughter a sheep, and a servant went to the pond to catch fresh fish and shrimp, touched a few tender lotus roots, and plucked some vegetables, and prepared to make a meal for the masters to try.
The eldest princess went back to the courtyard to rest, and Qingluan took Li Lan to ride a horse to the mountain and walked slowly.
Yuzhu and Ziyu Linyan followed, followed by twenty or thirty sword-carrying guards.
They walked all the way, admiring the wonders along the way, while discussing going to the mountain trail to have a look.
Qingliang Mountain is not steep, and there is a six-fold treasure hall on the top of the mountain, and there are dozens of monks in it.
Qingluan also often came to play when he was young, and touched all the statues of the Qingniuguan Palace.
The mixed yuan hall is dedicated to Taiyi Yuanzun, and it is also the main hall of the Qingniu Temple, only to see that outside the mountain gate of the main hall, there have been many retinues of the official eunuchs and the sons of the family in Beijing.
"Yo! Isn't this the county lord of Jianing, the ban has been lifted today? A male voice rang out from the crowd, teasing with malicious sneer.
Qingluan turned her head to look, only to see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in a red robe smiling at her.
"It turned out to be Sun Li, whose family should I be?" Qingluan smiled, turned over and jumped off the horse, and strolled towards him, "It's been a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here today." ”
Sun Yu was startled when he saw Qingluan coming straight over, hurriedly stepped back, and said hurriedly: "What do you want to do?" Let me tell you, Wen Shizi is also here today, you can't come nonsense! ”
Wen Shizi is the sister-in-law of Li Qian, the king of Qi, who was sent to Beijing by his father at the age of twelve, for ten years, and was also the first prince of a vassal to be assassinated in his previous life.
Before the first emperor was seriously ill and died, because the prince was still young, he ordered the sons of the vassal kings from all over the country to enter Beijing to serve the emperor instead of their father.
Qingluan raised his eyebrows, "I won't hit you, what are you nervous about." ”
She is sincere and close to Sun Li.
In his previous life, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were Xiao Boyan's lackeys, and only Sun Yushi angrily scolded Xiao Boyan in court for being a thief, which also led to his family being beheaded, and this Sun Xiaogongzi was not spared.
sighed in my heart at the same time, looking at this bad boy who had not dealt with him since he was a child, he also had a good feeling.
"Humph! When I'm afraid of you! Sun Li pretended to stand calmly behind a young man in a plain white linen robe and a soap gauze hat covering his forehead and shouted.
Qingluan squinted at him with a crescent moon, and said angrily: "Sun Li, you are not afraid, what are you doing hiding behind Wen Shizi?" ”
"You, you, you......" Sun Li leaned out half of his body from behind Li Wen, blushed and said: "You are a boudoir woman, you quarrel with men outside all day long, you are not ashamed!" ”
Qingluan ignored him and clasped his fists at Li Wen, "Brother Wen." ”
Li Wenren was as his name suggested, gentle and smiling, "Jianing, why did you come here alone?" ”
"It's not alone, I'm here with Lilan."
Li Lan had already dismounted, and with Qingluan, he blessed Li Wenfu with a blessing, "Prince Jin'an." ”
Li Wen waved his hand at her, "No need to be polite. He turned his head and said to Qingluan: "I have just arrived here, is Jianing going to enter the palace, or let Brother Wei take you in." ”
There are quite a few children of the family in the palace today, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no absurdity, and Jianing has no scruples in acting, after all, she is still a girl.
Qingluan nodded, asked the guards to stay outside and take care of the horses, and she and Li Lan took the three girls to follow Li Wen into the main hall.
Who knows, Sun Yu also shook the folding fan and followed Li Wen's side, while turning his head from time to time to take a look at Qingluan, while diligently introducing the Immortal Venerable enshrined in the Mixed Yuan Hall to Li Wen.
Not to mention, what this kid said was the Tao, which caused Li Wen to look sideways at him, "Sun Gongzi really saw Bo Guang, and this is the first time Zishu has heard of this." ”
"That's it!" Sun Li glanced at Qingluan proudly, shook his fan, and his tail was about to rise to the sky, "I still know more allusions to the immortals, do you want to listen to it?" ”
Li Wen smiled: "But I heard it in detail. ”
Lin Yan couldn't help but sneer behind Li Lan, and suddenly made Sun Li turn around and glare, "What are you laughing at!" The county lord's maidservant is really unruly! ”
Qingluan's eyes widened in surprise, but Li Lan's face turned red, and she hurriedly scolded the girl, and then turned to Sun Li to make amends, "I'm sorry Sun Gongzi, it's my girl who lost the rules......"
Sun Li snorted and rolled his eyes.
Naturally, he is not good at dealing with a woman, since the maid is not the county lord of Jianing, he is not so angry. He is a dignified seven-foot man, and he is also the son of an official eunuch in Beijing, and he can still earn a long time with a slave!
