Chapter 61: Entering Beijing
"Who else has the guts but you?" Ye Guiyue asked through gritted teeth.
Zhiwan sulked, turned his head and ignored Ye Guiyue, he was really stupid, it would be good if he didn't fall into the well, and he was counting on him to save people, Zhiwan was tactful, he had to find someone to go to Rongfu to report a message, Zhiwan untied his purse, his eyes glanced around, and he saw a villager in Shangyang Village, Zhiwan threw his purse over, "Go to Rongfu to find someone to save me!" ”
The man took the purse and was about to turn around, but in the next second, Leng Feng's figure flashed, and he grabbed the purse in his hand, Ye Guiyue's face became even darker, this woman really owed to clean up, and dared to ignore him in front of him, now Lizhou is his territory, and he can make full decisions about the appointment and dismissal of officials, without his words, does she think Rong Fu dares to save her?
Ye Guiyue took the purse, waved his hand, and those officials withdrew, but as soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and in the blink of an eye, sixteen black-clothed guards appeared behind Ye Guiyue, with a bright and swaying holy decree in his hand, "Lord Jun, the emperor has a decree." ”
Ye Guiyue glanced back, "Didn't you see that the master was busy, wait first!" ”
The escort led by the guard stepped forward, the holy decree was held high, and everyone on the street knelt down, but Ye Guiyue was still sitting tall, the jade fan was shaking freely, and the guards were embarrassed, "Please don't embarrass me for the prince of the county." ”
As soon as Ye Guiyue stretched out his hand, the guards handed over the holy decree, Ye Guiyue opened it and looked at it twice, his brows furrowed, "Let me compensate him for Dadongzhu?" ”
The guard replied, "The emperor promised to send a Dadong Pearl to the Lord of Lerong County and one to Princess Fengyue some time ago, and the emperor said that if he can't see Dadongzhu within three days, he will send the prince of the county to Nanyang County." ”
Ye Guiyue frowned impatiently, isn't it just a few big dong pearls, or the emperor, "Father has a big east pearl in his hand, go to him and ask for it." ”
The guard tugged at the corners of his mouth. "The prince didn't give it, and the prince asked his subordinates to tell the county prince that before tomorrow night, the county prince would not return home. You don't have to go back, he will let the second young master marry the main concubine and the side concubine for you. ”
Leng Feng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "The fourth girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has found it?" ”
The guard shook his head, "Not yet, but the Marquis of Dingyuan is now in prison, and I am waiting to leave Beijing this time to let the various government offices post notices, if the four girls do not return to Beijing, the day of marriage is the time when the heads of Dingbei are waiting for the head to land." ”
Ye Guiyue frowned, and the cold wind was puzzled. "In addition to the four girls, aren't there six girls, why do you have to marry the four girls, do you know why the prince changed his words?"
The guard shook his head, how did he know. But it seems that the county lord of Mingzhu had a dispute with the six girls, if they marry together, then it will be repaid, so I heard Leng Feng ask, "I don't know what the four girls look like, is there a portrait?" ”
Another guard hurriedly presented a portrait, and Zhiwan's heart was raised. Yao's mother was covered with beads of sweat, wishing that she could slip away, but she couldn't move her feet like nails.
Besides, when Leng Feng opened the picture scroll, he glanced at it, and his eyes widened. Glancing at Zhiwan, Zhiwan was stunned.
Ye Guiyue looked at the picture scroll, and his brows twisted, but he didn't see Zhiwan, "It's not that she looks very beautiful." How did it grow like this?! ”
The guard coughed fakely, "The four girls rarely go out, and there are few rumors outside, maybe the rumors are wrong, the prince said that beauty is wrong, and it is not impossible to marry." ”
Leng Feng frowned, "But you can't hurt the master, you have to take a few more looks, isn't it going to be unstable in food and sleep, and there is no beautiful village girl!" ”
Zhiwan was stunned, how could this be, dare to look at her coldly, because she thinks she is more beautiful than the fourth girl of Dingbei Hou, and I don't know what the picture scroll looks ugly about, Zhiwan has three guesses in his heart, this is to let him see it, feel ugly, take the initiative to withdraw from his family, no one wants to marry an ugly monster, just listen to Ye Guiyue, "It turns out that what Dingyuan Hou said is true, she doesn't like to go out, she can't go out, this daughter who can't get married, the lord is willing to marry, he is still hiding, his head is in the water?" ”
Leng Feng was entangled, "Master, why don't you quit your family?" ”
Ye Guiyue looked sideways, "What kind of relatives do you withdraw, and then marry back ugly and throw it aside, the master can be regarded as a good deed, ugly like this, I don't know how she grew up." ”
"......." ”
Poria looked at Zhiwan, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that her own girl would be able to squirt out a few mouthfuls of blood in the next second, and Ye Guiyue turned around and looked at Zhiwan, "You go to Beijing with me." ”
Zhiwan's face was black, and she was busy saying that she still had something to do, and she would have to enter Beijing in two days, and she would definitely visit when the time came, and there was also Leng Feng who owed her seven hundred taels of silver, remember to pay it back......
Ye Guiyue didn't doubt him, so he rode away on horseback, leaving Zhiwan to breathe a sigh of relief.
The officers and soldiers didn't catch Zhiwan for a long time, and turned to listen to the orders of the guards, and went to post notices, Zhiwan glanced at it curiously, and at that glance, Zhiwan was depressed, she found that if she looked closely, there could still be her shadow, but the makeup of her face was very thick, red like a monkey's buttocks, and there was a big peony on her head in addition to the hairpin, which was called an eye-catching, typical nymphomaniac image!
Poria pointed to the portrait, "Isn't this the picture drawn by the sixth girl for the girl?!" ”
Zhiwan twisted his eyebrows, Poria said sullenly, "The emperor's draft, the queen asked all the ladies from thirteen to sixteen years old in Kyoto to draw pictures into the palace to let her choose first, several girls in the house have painted, the fifth girl originally painted a picture for the girl, and then accidentally dripped ink on it, it is not good to send it to the palace, the sixth girl said that the painting is ugly, too plain, and there is no luxurious temperament, so she personally helped the girl dress up, and painted such a ......." ”
"......." ”
Luxurious temperament? That peony is luxurious enough and temperamental, and the person is not very good, which means that this painting flows out of the palace? Growing like this, he finally gave it to Ye Guiyue, Zhiwan's face was weird, sure enough, there is retribution for doing too many bad things, dare to send pigs at the queen's birthday banquet, people have the opportunity to entertain you...... But it's a good thing that this portrait would have been finished first.
Zhiwan and his party went back to the pastry shop, the plaque had already been replaced, and it continued to open, but such a fuss, but let Dongyang Town know that this shop has a three-point relationship with the king of Yuejun, up to the official master, down to the ruffian hooligans, and never dared to come to find trouble, and the business of the shop is also thriving, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
After helping out in the pastry shop for a while, Zhiwan came back from shopping with the two children, and when she entered the door, Yao's mother told Poria to pack up her baggage. said goodbye to Sister-in-law Qian, and Zhiwan was stunned when she heard it, "What is this for?" ”
Poria folded her clothes while looking at Zhiwan. "Didn't the girl say that she would return to Beijing in two days?"
"......." ”
Zhiwan raised her forehead, why didn't anyone hear her lies, what kind of Beijing did she go back to, that painting, you can draw makeup and fool the past by pulling a maid casually, plus the king of Yuejun himself said that she was left in the small courtyard, out of sight, what did she go back to?
Zhiwan said that she wouldn't go back, and Yao's mother and Poria both stared at Zhiwan. "How can it be so simple, although there are very few people who have seen the girl, but it is not nothing, just find a maid to fool, and when the time comes, it will be discovered by the master's political enemies. The lord is the crime of bullying the king, all the people in the Hou Mansion are killed, and the girl cannot escape the responsibility, the slave and maid feel that it is not impossible to go back, the king of Yuejun does not want to get married, everyone can see it, and he has an accident three times when he gets married. This time, maybe the sedan chair will be carried back again, and everyone will be happy at that time. ”
It's really possible, but it's only possible, what if something happens, besides, she went back. Can the two children go back together, Zhiwan is reluctant to go back, but when she thinks of the dowry that Dingyuan Hou gave her, she really wants to kill him, and Zhiwan can't bear it. Grit your teeth one last time, then go back in two days!
Yao's mother packed up her clothes and said, "Girl, don't worry about the two children, the slave maid greeted Sister-in-law Qian, she can go into Beijing with us and help take care of it for a few days, the girl has a four-entry courtyard in Kyoto, not far from the Hou Mansion, you can arrive in half an hour, there are people waiting for you, and the little master and the little lady will not be wronged, if there is really a problem, the slave can take the girl to escape once, and she can escape a second time." ”
Can you escape again? Zhiwan had some doubts in her heart, Yao's mother was too calm and confident, and it was not a trivial matter to escape marriage, Zhiwan nodded.
In the next two days, Yao's mother was busy, almost her feet did not touch the ground, Zhiwan had to go to Shangyang Village once, mainly to help Jinbao look at his legs, the recovery was not bad, very obedient and did not move, it is estimated that he is afraid of really breaking his legs, Zhiwan brought a lot of things, the Zhao family was overjoyed, Zhiwan was leaving, asked Zhao He if he was willing to go to Beijing with her, Zhao He nodded hurriedly, or that sentence, he knew that his life was late.
Yao's mother was reluctant to sell the small courtyard, maybe there will be a day to come back, after thinking about it, she handed over the title deed to Qian Ming, the sister-in-law of Qian, for safekeeping, the stone wants to study, and he can't follow him into Beijing, so let him live in the courtyard, and the Zhao family can also come to live.
Although I have only lived in the small courtyard for less than ten days, Zhiwan likes this small courtyard and really doesn't want to leave.
Early in the morning of the third day, Zhiwan got into the carriage, Zhao Si'an and Zhao He escorted Zhiwan into Beijing, the two carriages moved forward slowly, Xiaocao ran towards the carriage crying, and almost fell, the distressed Zhiwan almost couldn't help but hug her into the car, lifted the curtain and said, "Xiaocao is obedient, go back and aunt will pick you up into Beijing." ”
Fang Shi hugged Xiaocao, but he was also reluctant, and waved his hand again and again.
The carriage walked for a day before I saw the post station, Yao's mother asked Zhao Si'an to stop the carriage, and then the group moved in, and the post station junior greeted him, "I don't know which official's family, do you have a certificate?" ”
Yao's mother took out a small red post with the words Dingyuan Marquis on it, and when Xiao Er saw it, she immediately became respectful, "A few upstairs, please." ”
Zhiwan raised her eyebrows slightly, she couldn't imagine that she even had such a thing as a marriage escape, so she followed Yao's mother upstairs, and when she went upstairs, Zhiwan's clothes were scraped off, so she went to pull, and a voice came downstairs, with eagerness and joy, "Evening sister!" ”
Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, glanced over, and saw a man in an azure brocade robe downstairs looking at her, who should be thirty-four or five years old, very good-looking, Zhiwan looked left and right, and made sure that she and Poria were in addition to Xiao Er, Zhiwan blinked, and was called by an uncle Late sister, it was really not ordinary weird, "You know me?" ”
The middle-aged man shook his head slowly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "I recognized the wrong person." ”
Zhiwan smiled lightly, this is really a coincidence, there is a word late in her name, and after only a few steps, there was a voice downstairs, "Brother Yuanliang, my sister has been missing for sixteen years, and you haven't forgotten her." ”
"If I could forget, I wouldn't want to."
Then a sigh came, Zhiwan heard it sourly, if that sentence could be forgotten, why didn't he want to, how helpless it should be, I don't know who his younger sister is, how can she be missing?
Poria entered the house with a smile, "Mother, someone downstairs recognized the wrong girl, and called the girl her sister, what a coincidence!" ”
Yao's mother's hand froze, and then she smiled, "It's not surprising that it is common to recognize the wrong person." ”
Zhiwan's heart was full of doubts, it was nothing for someone downstairs to admit his mistake, but Yao's mother was stunned when she heard Poria say that, although it was very short, but Zhiwan saw it very clearly, wouldn't that night sister be her mother? But how can there be a daughter with a name to her mother, her mother is not good to stay in the Hou Mansion, how can she not find it?
I didn't want to be late without notice, and after a day of carriage, my bones were about to fall apart, so I took a comfortable bath, and after dinner, I fell asleep with my two children in my arms.
A good night's sleep, the next morning, after breakfast, Zhiwan went downstairs, downstairs, Zhiwan saw the man who recognized the wrong person yesterday again, he had a tired look on his face, obviously hangover for a night, and continued to drink, Zhiwan just glanced at him, and the corner of his eye was looking at Yao's mother, Yao's mother obviously wanted to say something, and finally closed his eyes and hugged Si'er out of the post station.
When Zhiwan came out, she found that Yao's mother's eyes were red, Poria asked her what was wrong, Yao's mother said that the sand was blind, but Zhiwan knew that she was crying, and when she left, she also looked at the post station, sighed, and said: It's all fate!
Zhiwan couldn't help but ask Yao's mother curiously, "Who is he?" ”
Yao's mother looked at Zhiwan, stunned, and said with a smile, "I had a relationship many years ago, when he was the young master of the Huan family, one of the seven great families of Dayue, and now he should be the head of the Huan family." ”
Poria asked, "Mother, who is his younger sister?" ”
Yao's mother glared at Poria and scolded, "What are you doing asking so much?!" ”
Poria pouted, she was just curious to ask, what was her angry, the girl asked her to answer, she asked and was scolded, Poria was angry and carried the burden on the carriage, made a little temperament, stunned that she didn't say a word to her mother in the morning, she couldn't stand it at noon, didn't speak, Yao's mother didn't give food, Poria couldn't bear the hunger, and gave in.
Sitting in the carriage, Yao's mother lifted the curtain, looked at the scenery in the distance, and said with a smile, "In half an hour, you will be able to see the city gate, and the carriage will run faster today than when we came out, and we can enter the city." ”
