Chapter 207: Entanglement
Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, Guilin is very beautiful, and Guilin in summer is especially beautiful.
In summer, the trees become more and more lush, all over the mountains, mountains and rivers, the whole is green, green bright, green oily. Guilin after the rain, the water droplets hanging on the branches, lined with green, like a small emerald, in the emerald, there are green mountains and beautiful water, even the white fog in the early morning, all with the beauty of cyan, the scenery into the eye is all ink painting, the water and the sky are the same color, the mountains and rivers are fully revealed, revealing clear and clear.
New green, tender green, light green, emerald green, dark green, dark green, bright green, bright green, bright green, green onion, grass green, dark green, green grass, green leaves, everywhere is green and oily, but it is not turbid at all, but the layers are clear, looking at it from afar, just like the heaven and earth have become a mirror made of emeralds, reflecting thousands of lights and shadows, the grass on the ground, the clouds in the sky, the trees on the mountains, the birds on the trees, the people on the boat are all strange and beautiful.
On the Li River, Sizhen walked out of the cabin.
Although it has been found that the assassination of Bambul's good deeds has nothing to do with the Confucian family, the emperor and the empress dowager have recently planned to withdraw from the feudal domain.
She was dressed in men's clothes, her hair was braided into a long braid hanging down the back of her head, she wore a small melon skin hat on her head, and she was wearing a general purple summer shirt.
"Is the princess boring? The boat road is like this, the scenery of the Li River is beautiful, and it is only when you meet the barren on both sides of the river that it makes people anxious. Fortunately, when we arrive in Wuhan and get on the post road, our trip will be much faster. On the deck, Lord Qinchadu, who was leaning on the railing of the ship to watch the scenery, saw Sizhen come out, bowed his hand, and said with a smile.
Several officials who accompanied Lord Du saw Sizhen and hurriedly greeted him.
"Where's Dorangege?" Sizhen asked.
Master Du smiled and said, "Gege traveled by land, day and night, and arrived in Changsha Mansion yesterday." ”
"She can run fast enough, is this because I'm afraid that I will go to Beijing first, and she won't be able to fall, okay? I thought she really wanted to stay in Guilin for a long time and have a needlepoint with me! Sizhen smiled indifferently, and there was no hint of sarcasm in her words, as if she said these words just to make a joke.
"It seems that Dolan Gege was quite frightened in Guilin, but in fact, she persuaded her before her humble position, saying that the princess would hide it even for the sake of peace." Du Qin said that between his words, he tested Sizhen's reaction.
Sizhen smiled slyly, not saying what she would do to Dolan.
When night fell, the nearest post station near the water in Changsha Prefecture was brightly lit, Sizhen lived in the main house, Du Qincha and other officials lived in the front yard, because there were too many chariots and horses and servants accompanying him, and the post station could not live, so most of them remained on the boat.
Here they will rest for two days to replenish the ship's provisions, and then sail north.
Because of the fatigue of the journey, the officials took their leave after Sizhen was properly settled, and the official banquet in Changsha Mansion was arranged for the next day.
At the banquet, Sizhen saw Dolan.
The officials of Changsha Mansion City didn't know that there was a rift between them, but they were all relatives of the emperor, so they feasted together and stammered together.
Seeing the four chastities of the main seat, Dolan was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes were full of joy, as if there had never been a dispute between them.
"Dolan, are you still used to this pommel horse?" Sizhen asked with a smile, completely in the posture of the elders.
"I'm not used to it, it's really hard to ride a horse, so I think the rest of the way, take a boat with you, Aunt Zhen, I don't know if you have more places on the boat?" Dolan asked with a wink, rolling his eyes.
Because it is a formal banquet in Changsha Fucheng, both of them are wearing formal clothes, Dolan's position is Heshuo Gege, Sizhen is Princess Heshuo, the auspicious clothes worn by the two people are relatively similar, the difference is only in the details, for example, Princess Heshuo's auspicious clothes are embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons and four regiments, front and back dragons, two shoulders of dragons, and Shuo Gege is to take Zhai Bird four regiments of dragon supplements, five-clawed dragon satin, and Princess Heshuo is crowned with two layers of gold, decorated with ten East Pearls, and the upper rank is ruby, and Shuo Gege is less than two East Pearls......
Both of them are good-looking, but Dolan's face is slightly wider, the skeleton is larger, and the cheekbones are slightly higher, so they look a little thin, and Sizhen's demeanor is more dignified and magnificent, which makes everyone secretly sigh in their hearts: There is still a difference between this princess and the county lord.
Hearing what Dolan said, the corners of Sizhen's mouth curved: "It depends on how many people and horses you plan to bring with Dolan, how many lines are loaded on the boat, I am also taking Lord Du's downwind boat this time, so the outfit is simple, but fortunately, if you want to load all your personal horses and luggage on the boat, I am afraid it will not be enough." ”
"The luggage, you can let them go by land, I will bring a few people who serve with you on the boat, anyway, what is missing, ask Aunt Zhen to borrow it, think about it, you won't care about my niece, right? As for the guards, with Aunt Zhen here, it must be that the wife is peaceful all the way, so there is no need to be afraid of anything. Dolan smiled innocently, calling Sizhen his aunt and emphasizing his youth.
Du Qincha, who was sitting on the side, frowned.
Although the two royal relatives are very noble at this banquet, after all, it is mainly based on Sizhen, but Dolan talks about private affairs vigorously, and there is a lot of squeeze on Sizhen in his words.
Du Qincha kept them away from them by greeting the local officials in Changsha, so as not to have a conflict between the aunt and nephew and affect him.
Although he is a Qincha, he can't afford to offend any of these two.
"You've got everything planned, so tomorrow evening, let's go on the waterway with us." Sizhen never believed that Dolan was improvised, but on the river, the manpower on the boat was mainly on her side, she didn't believe that Dolan could set off any big waves, and she was not afraid of her entanglement, so she simply smiled and nodded and agreed.
As if he didn't expect Sizhen to agree, Dolan was stunned, and then said, "Are you really willing to take me with you?" ”
"What's not to want from this? As long as you don't feel aggrieved, after all, it's not as convenient as bringing your own people. Sizhen smiled indifferently, "Fortunately, when we arrive in Wuhan Mansion, we can go ashore and change into carriages and horses, and your people can just wait there." ”
In response, Dolan thought about it in his heart.
It's not that she didn't think about framing Kong Sizhen, but when she was in the feudal domain, it was really like what Sizhen said, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, she didn't find a chance at all, this time she went to Beijing, and she was worried that if Sizhen presented the matter she framed that day, the emperor would ask ...... So she must think of a way to strike first.
Undoubtedly, walking all the way is a good opportunity, even if you don't have a chance to start, you can also probe Kong Sizhen's tone.
What does it mean when Kong Sizhen looks casual at this meeting? Do you want to stabilize her, or do you really not mind?
I'm afraid it's just because there are outsiders, so I'm going to make a show for everyone to show that she Kong Sizhen has really integrated into the royal family of Aixin Jueluo.
Dolan pursed his lips secretly, and then asked Sizhen about the customs along the way with a smile, and let out one or two praises from time to time, so that outsiders could look at them, although these two aunts and nephews were not close, they were even closer than their aunts and nephews.
"Gege, don't patronize and talk, please use more, these dishes are famous in Changsha, because I am afraid that you will eat spicy, I specially ordered the cook to add less chili peppers, if you are not used to eating, the lower officials will let them make some Jiangnan and Beijing flavor food again......" The official of Changsha Mansion greeted.
"No, no, since you're coming to Changsha, of course you have to eat your local specialties."
Dolan said with a grin, watching Sizhen exhale from being so spicy that Xuexue secretly laughed.
Sizhen took a sip of tea with a smile, and sandwiched a chopsticks of fragrant, soft, and spicy Dong'anzi chicken.
The next morning, when Sizhen's residence was still quiet, Dolan came with her chariot, horses, and people.
Revealing her identity, Dolan entered the courtyard of the post house for officials unimpeded, but she was stopped in front of the door of the backyard.
It was Bai Yansong who stopped her.
"The princess hasn't gotten up yet, please go to the front hall for a while." Bai Yansong said respectfully but expressionlessly.
Dolan didn't walk away immediately, but looked at Bai Yansong and said, "Bai Ginseng is very good, and he is also handsome, I heard, you are Aunt Zhen's cousin?" Did you grow up together? Childhood sweethearts! You accompanied Aunt Zhen to Beijing this time, won't Sun Elu be jealous? ”
Bai Yansong only said "um", and said nothing more.
"What is your attitude, and why don't you answer Bengege's question?" Dolan said arrogantly.
Bai Yansong smiled, and still replied respectfully: "If Gege asks about official matters, his subordinates will naturally ask and answer all kinds of questions, but what you ask is all private matters, and your subordinates don't know how to answer for a while." ”
"What do you mean, am I asking the wrong question?" Dolan's willow eyebrows are raised.
"The subordinates don't dare!" Bai Yansong bowed his head with his hands bowed, but still did not answer Dolan's previous question.
Dolan was about to speak.
"Dolan Gege, don't be embarrassed by Bai Shen Ling, he has always been a wooden person, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays." Du Qincha came over and relieved Bai Yansong, "Xia Guan, look, the luggage you brought, and more than 20 servants, I'm afraid they can't be arranged on the ship, so come and tell you to see if you can reduce it." ”
"Minus what minus? Ben Gege has already brought very little, and then subtracted, on the boat, what do I wear and eat? I can't get used to your things, those twenty or so people are waiting for me to eat and wear, minus them, are you waiting for Bengege? Dolan poured his anger on Duchincha's head.
Although Du Qincha is a soft person, hearing Dolan's scolding, his face was also a little unhappy, he said in a deep voice: "If there is too much luggage, the ship will not be able to run fast, and there are really not so many cabins. ”
Dolan raised his hand, pointed at Bai Yansong and said, "Then let him and his men and horses get off the boat, take the land route, and give Ben Ge Teng a place." ”
