Chapter Twenty-Eight: To the Capital
When Lin Sheng and the others set off, it was already the fifth day after receiving the invitation.
Previously, he had been waiting to see if Mr. Hua would leave the customs in advance, and he could ask the old man's opinion.
But after waiting for five days, seeing that if he didn't set off, he might not be able to catch up with the Qing Talks, and on the sixth day, Lin Sheng had to take Bai Nanxiang and a few people out of Rootless Mountain.
At that time, there were still six days before Mr. Hua left the customs.
In fact, this time, instead of leaving the customs in advance, if it wasn't for the time for Li Yao to remind the old man, he might have retreated for a few more days.
Because of the five people with Bai Nanxiang, in order to make it easier to travel, Lin Sheng found a carriage and a coachman from the academy.
It's just that the horse is a spirit horse, and the car is a carriage that looks similar to an ordinary carriage on the outside, but it is actually a carriage with a miniature world inside.
When one enters this carriage, he will immediately enter a small courtyard, in which a pomegranate tree is planted, with a blue sky in the sky and grass under his feet, and he will not feel the bumps of the road at all, and the journey will be extremely easy.
The only drawback is that the walking speed is much slower than Lin Sheng and Lin Jin's magic power of shrinking the ground into inches.
Therefore, it took about three days to travel thousands of miles, and it will be the first two days of the Qing Talks, and the group came to the vicinity of a pavilion five miles outside the city of Jingzhou.
It was a sunny day.
It was almost early summer, and at noon, I hung on the emerald branches, and I cried non-stop when I knew it.
There was also a tall pergola outside the gazebo, and several smaller sheds, around which a row of carriages were parked, and several servants stood outside the gazebo with their heads hooked and looked into the distance.
The carriage of Lin Sheng and a few people showed a figure from the distance of the official road.
The overlooking servant immediately trotted toward the pavilion of the lord's house.
"Master, master, young master, they have arrived."
"My lord, Mr. Lin has arrived."
……
It turned out that the families of the four students received the news that they would return to the capital today, so they specially set up a pergola on the side of the road to catch the wind for a few people.
Lin Sheng looked at the tall pergola in front of him with some surprise, as if he secretly felt that such a pomp was a little too much.
"Mr. Lin has worked hard all the way, and my prime minister has been waiting for a long time."
A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper took the lead and walked up to Lin Sheng and said.
The people of the other three families were waiting far away, obviously waiting for the arrangement of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Hearing that it was the prime minister's invitation, Bai Nanxiang was a little stunned.
Zhao Bo is so favored at home, just when he goes home, he can work and the prime minister go out of the city in person?
But when she looked at Zhao Bo, she found that Zhao Bo also had a look of surprise on his face, and it was obvious that he also felt very surprised, and even Lin Sheng and Lin Jin felt a little surprised.
In the pergola, several big chairs were placed, Lin Sheng and Lin Jin sat down separately, and Bai Nanxiang could only stand aside and listen to the prime minister and Lin Sheng.
The prime minister is a big-bellied, somewhat middle-aged man, he is wearing regular clothes today, the bun on the top of his head is a little small, and a hosta is inserted on it, which makes people can't help but worry that the hosta will fall off.
The servant served tea, and the prime minister and Lin Sheng exchanged gossip such as saying goodbye to harm, and chatted a few more words, and the prime minister turned his head and talked about why he went out of the city to meet him today.
"Coincidentally, in addition to Mr., the Four Princes and Shangshan Zhenren will also arrive in the capital today, and the time should also arrive, I don't know if Mr. will wait with me, or enter the city first?"
Bai Nanxiang heard the names of the four princes and Shangshan Zhenren for the first time, and was confused for a while.
Zhao Bo on the side immediately understood, although the expression on his little face did not change much, for some reason Bai Nanxiang smacked a little from his posture, and it turned out to be such a sense of disappointment.
Lin Sheng also understood, he looked at the sky outside the pergola, and refused with a smile.
"I sent a letter to Matsuma Academy before, saying that it would arrive at noon today, and it was almost noon at this moment......
Lin Sheng suddenly stopped saying something halfway through his words, and he shook his head with a smile.
"Prime Minister, the good man has arrived."
His voice fell, and he saw someone walk in.
"My lord, I have seen the carriage of the prince and the good man."
Hearing that it was a carriage, Bai Nanxiang immediately guessed in her heart, but she was afraid that this carriage was not ordinary.
When the prime minister heard this, he immediately stood up.
"Mr. is so ear-catching, Mr. Lao and I will go outside to pick it up."
Lin Sheng also stood up with a smile and walked out of the pergola with the prime minister.
Bai Nanxiang and the others could only follow.
Bai Nanxiang had just raised her feet and walked forward, when she suddenly felt that Cun Derong on the side was close to her, and whispered to her in a suppressed voice.
"The biological mother of the fourth prince is the sister-in-law of the prime minister, this master is a little withdrawn, he loves to practice if he doesn't love the country, and he made a lot of trouble in the palace five years ago for practice, and almost made the concubine angry to ......death."
Halfway through his words, Lin Jin, who was walking in front of the two, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Cun Derong, who was glanced at by Lin Jin, and Cun Derong didn't dare to say anything more.
Several people quickly walked outside the pergola.
Bai Nanxiang looked at the official road from afar, and the scene that followed her was so startled that she couldn't help but grow her mouth slightly.
When she heard the man talk about the carriage before, she had expected that the carriage would be extraordinary, but she never thought that it would be extraordinary to this extent.
I saw that on the official road in front of me, two three-story pavilions were scattered on a huge scorching peach tree.
The huge tangled roots of the peach tree turned into the shape of two soles, and walked slowly on this official road.
The carriage was so ostentatious!
Bai Nanxiang couldn't help but look back at the carriage of Cuiwei Academy not far from her, which only looked ordinary from the outside.
It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, Bai Nanxiang suddenly felt that this contrast was too stark.
However, she soon found that except for her and Lin Sheng's father and son, who had a twitch in the corners of their eyes, the expressions of the other people present were no different from ordinary cars when they looked at the carriage.
Even Cun Derong and Wang Nianlu, the four inhuman students who had been practicing for about two months, did not see anything abnormal.
Almost as soon as she realized that only she and Lin Sheng's father and son had seen this mother scene clearly, Bai Nanxiang understood.
It should be that big peach tree, that kind of good real person, cast a blinding method, and he was born with a different eye to see the true body of the carriage through the blinding method.
But this blinding method obviously only wants to blind the eyes of ordinary people, and they don't intend to hide it from people like Lin Sheng and Lin Jin.
From this point of view, this sect is still too ostentatious.
When Bai Nanxiang looked at the huge peach tree and thought nonsense, the peach tree had already come to Prime Minister Zhao Cheng.
In Bai Nanxiang's eyes, she saw that after a squeaky sound of branches, the two pavilions on the peach tree opened their doors from the inside out.
Dozens of young men and women dressed in uniform and bright clothes scattered flower petals lightly from the huge house, blowing fairy sounds and slowly falling from the house.
Immediately afterwards, an old man in a wide robe with big sleeves fluttering in the wind, his eyebrows were extremely kind, and he looked like a tall man, and he was wearing one.
Qi Xian,
The ordinary characters resisted the wind from the small building, and fell calmly and chic like immortals falling into the world.
The word "immortal" not only describes the person's appearance, but also refers to his face.
He was already extremely good-looking, coupled with that natural graceful demeanor, and his skin as white as a chicken, which made Bai Nanxiang lose his mind at a glance.
This is the only person Bai Nanxiang has seen in his two lives who can be directly called an immortal.
This is the first meeting between Bai Nanxiang and Liu Ruo.
"This man's sassy bag."
This was the first thought that came to Bai Nanxiang's mind after coming back to her senses.
