Chapter 586: Temporary Residence
As soon as the sound of "......" fell, the carriage also stopped.
Luo Qingluan lifted the curtain of the car and saw a city not far away, with the word girder written on the tall city gate.
Since that day, Lin Chuan heard that after this big beam, it is Zhaojing, the imperial capital of the Southern Wei Dynasty. When he arrives in Zhaojing, Lin Xiaochen will definitely send someone to monitor him, and it will be even more difficult to escape when the time comes. Although he is now under Han Xun's nose, he finally knows who is spying on him and knows where he is.
At that time, there are many people, and it is even more inconvenient for them to escape.
This girder may be his last chance.
"This Daliang County is the most prosperous place in the Southern Wei Dynasty except for the imperial capital, and the scenery is better than that of Zhaojing, the imperial capital of the Southern Wei Dynasty."
Since entering the territory of the Southern Wei Dynasty, Han Xun's mood has also improved a lot. Without the pursuers, he will be able to return to China with Luo Qingluan in a few days, and when the time comes, he will be like a fish in water, relying on the threat of muscle-growing blood vines, I am afraid that Nalan will have to retreat at night.
Even now, no matter how capable she Luo Qingluan is, it will be difficult to escape from the palm of her hand. Thinking of the past two days, she has become more and more silent, obviously in a bad mood, Han Xun also understands her feelings of being coerced, and wants to please her, so he generously began to introduce her.
Glancing at Han Xun lightly, Luo Qingluan said: "No matter how prosperous it is, it is not your North Vietnam, what do you have to be proud of?" If you want, you can send troops to knock down this beam. ”
When Lin Chuan heard this, his face was immediately full of embarrassment, and Han Xun also had a sneering expression, and he was so choked by Luo Qingluan that he couldn't speak.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan changed the topic in time and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, today I will rest in the mansion of Song Baiqian, the richest man in Daliang, and wait for Your Majesty and Princess Chu to rest for a day, and then we will hurry, anyway, we are not in a hurry." ”
Han Xun looked at Luo Qingluan and knew that if he continued to fight with her, he would not be able to bargain for anything, so he took advantage of the situation to stop.
"Get out of the car." As he spoke, he wanted to hold Luo Qingluan's hand.
Luo Qingluan was on the side of his body, dodged, and got out of the carriage first, leaving Han Xun alone. He had long been accustomed to Luo Qingluan's attitude, and Han Xun didn't mind, shaking his head and following her.
After getting out of the carriage, Luo Qingluan pretended to stretch his waist and moved his muscles.
In fact, she just wanted to take advantage of the situation to check the terrain, the wall of the Song Mansion in front of her was generally about three feet higher than the surrounding courtyard, with green bricks and gray tiles, and a few sticks of green sticking out of the wall, which were still verdant in the middle of winter, and it was simply a veritable deep house compound, which was not enjoyed by ordinary rich people.
This Song Baiqian is only afraid that he is rich and powerful, and what does it have to do with Lin Xiaochen, otherwise how could his henchman Lin Chuan arrange for them to live here? Luo Qingluan thought about it, and saw dozens of housekeepers and maidservants standing at the door to greet him, which showed his pomp.
"This Master Song is only afraid that he is rich, otherwise he will build such a high wall, as if someone is going to his house to steal." Luo Qingluan couldn't help muttering, feeling a little regretful in his heart, it seemed that it would not work if he wanted to climb the wall and escape. What's more, now that my body is heavier, I'm afraid that I have to find something else more secure.
"What did you just say?" Han Xun saw Luo Qingluan staring at the gate of the Song Mansion without moving, and felt that she was playing some kind of ghost idea again.
"Huh? Did I speak? No, I don't. Luo Qingluan smiled faintly: "Han Xun, I'm afraid it's an auditory hallucination."
Fortunately, Han Xun didn't hear clearly, and seeing that Luo Qingluan didn't say anything, he couldn't force it: "Since it's nothing, let's go in." You're tired from the journey, so you can eat something and rest again. With that, he went inside.
Along the way, but he didn't see the master Song Baiqian come out, Luo Qingluan felt a little strange, even if Song Baiqian didn't know their identity, but since he lent his house to Lin Chuan, he should naturally know Lin Chuan's identity, as the master, how could he not come out to greet guests?
"Lin Chuan, where has the owner of this house gone?" Luo Qingluan asked suspiciously.
Lin Chuan glanced at Han Xun and said with a smile: "It's just a small outsider, where is he qualified to see His Majesty and the princess?" The second prince ordered, the whereabouts of His Majesty and the princess are secret, and his subordinates dare not reveal it, so naturally can he come to see the two nobles. ”
I'm afraid I'm worried that Song Baiqian will be used and let her go, right?
Luo Qingluan didn't say anything, and just followed the girl who led the way towards the inner courtyard.
Along the way, the pavilions and pavilions, the corridors twist and turn, and the girls along the way have already been strictly ordered, bowing their heads and waiting, and they dare not come out. Luo Qingluan even saw a big lake, the vast smoke waves, sparkling, white smoke rising from the lake, it looked like a fairyland, no wonder Lin Chuan arranged a place to live here, and he would not neglect her and Han Xun.
"I don't know if the princess lives in the same courtyard as His Majesty, or does she have to pick one alone?"
Lin Chuan's question was meaningful, seemingly courteous and polite, but in fact it was full of ridicule and malice. He took the opportunity to curry favor with Han Xun, but he didn't care about Luo Qingluan's thoughts at all, let alone her reputation.
Not angry, Luo Qingluan looked at Han Xun and said coldly, "What do you say?" ”
Han Xun wished he could live with Luo Qingluan, but how dare he come down? Originally, Luo Qingluan hated him very much, if he dared to take advantage of her and live in the same hospital with her, he was afraid that Luo Qingluan would really open up and use some means to make him miserable and embarrassed.
"It's good for me to live alone, Lin Chuan, you arrange a quiet place for her, so that people can wait for her. When I see the second prince, I will give you a few kind words. "Han Xun can only be serious.
When the girl who led the way stopped in front of a separate garden, Lin Chuan explained, and Luo Qingluan found that there were many small courtyards in this mansion, and the most advanced one was Luofeng Ju. Han Xun took a fancy to this courtyard, and Luo Qingluan planned to choose a courtyard far away from him to live.
With a sweep of his eyes, Luo Qingluan was attracted by a cluster of flowers in front of him.
In such a winter, she was already surprised to see the greenery before, but she didn't expect that there were flowers here. She was really surprised, as soon as she smelled the fragrance of flowers, Han Xun followed closely and came to a garden called "Baicao Garden".
His eyes fell on this cluster of flowers, and Luo Qingluan was slightly surprised.
This bush of flowers blooms brilliantly, and it is also a rare medicinal material, I didn't expect to be able to see it in Song Baiqian's house, it is really rare. Entering along the moon gate, Luo Qingluan walked all the way and found a lot of medicinal materials.
It's just that the gardener who manages this place doesn't seem to understand pharmacology, and grows all these medicinal herbs as ornamental flowers, and although the flowers and leaves are well maintained, they ignore the important medicinal properties. Luo Qingluan shook his head secretly, but he had ruined the good things.
"Qingluan, what do you see interesting?" Behind him, Han Xun couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, I'll just look at it, aren't these flowers beautiful? Along the way, the carriage is bored, walk around and move, if you have something to do, just be busy, don't always follow me, are you still afraid of me running? Luo Qingluan said casually, naturally he would not tell Han Xun about his discovery.
Han Xun smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you, if you're tired, I can help you back." ”
Glancing at Han Xun, Luo Qingluan didn't pay any attention to him.
Walking straight forward, at the end is a mahogany building, a round cave door, Luo Qingluan pushed it, but did not push it open, only to find that the door was actually locked.
"Lin Chuan, I'll live in this herb garden, the flowers in it are very beautiful, I like it very much."
Smart people always know how to make others less defensive about themselves. Luo Qingluan actually fell in love with these medicinal materials, and it happened that the medicinal powder on her body was almost running out, so she had to think of supplementing it.
Lin Chuan looked at Luo Qingluan in embarrassment: "Princess, this garden is where a concubine of the main family lives, and she passed away half a year ago, which is not very lucky, you better change places and save ......"
The more he refused, the more Luo Qingluan wanted to live here: "It's nothing, I don't mind, it's good here." ”
Lin Chuan couldn't do it, so he could only let people open the door. The accompanying girl found the key, opened the door, and took Luo Qingluan inside.
When I entered the inside, I found that this building was very large, and there was even a cave in it. There is a small bridge in front of the main building, and the river water under the bridge. It's very deep, and due to the topography, it looks like a river flowing backwards. Plane trees are planted on both sides of the river, and a plaque is hung on a two-storey small building in the innermost, and the book is perched in the Phoenix Pavilion, and the tone is not small.
"Qifeng Pavilion?" Luo Qingluan read the name,
Each courtyard here has its own characteristics, and it can be seen that the owner is obviously extra careful when building the house, Luo Qingluan can see more and more that the power and status of the owner of this house, Song Baiqian, is definitely not an ordinary rich family as Lin Chuan said.
Lin Chuan saw that Luo Qingluan seemed to like this courtyard very much, so he left a group of maids to serve him, and went to discuss with Han Xun about entering Beijing.
"Girl, tired all the way, the slaves and maids have prepared hot water for the girl to bathe, do you want the girl now?" A leading maid with a more prominent appearance asked softly.
Although they are from the Southern Wei Dynasty, Luo Qingluan is not the kind of person who likes to be angry.
Just wash the dust on your body and drive away the tiredness of your body.
"Prepare yourselves." Luo Qingluan stood on the small bridge, feeling the breeze on her face, and thinking that she didn't have to sit in the same carriage with Han Xun again, she felt very comfortable.
The maidservant took the lead and asked another little girl to get hot water to bathe Luo Qingluan, and she followed Luo Qingluan every step of the way, serving her very carefully.
"What's your name?" Seemingly inadvertently, Luo Qingluan began to take the initiative to talk to her.
The maid paused, and bowed without humility or arrogance: "Back to the girl, the slave's name is Ling'er." ”
From her every move, Luo Qingluan could see that this girl was not an ordinary maidservant. I saw that she behaved elegantly, and she had a kind of beautiful temperament. If it weren't for the fact that she kept calling herself a slave and walking down the street, passers-by would have thought she was the young lady of that family.
"How long have you been in the Song Mansion?"
"The slave was bought by the housekeeper when she was eight years old, and she has been in the Song Mansion for more than ten years." Ling'er replied decently, looking like she knew everything, but Luo Qingluan couldn't completely disbelieve her words, who knew if Lin Chuan had arranged it to spy on her.
This maid named Ling'er's original name was Lan Xiaodie, her home was in a small village in Daliang, she lost her father when she was eight years old, and there were two brothers in the family who did not marry a daughter-in-law. The mother could not afford to marry her brothers, so she was ready to sell her daughters to make money.
Because of her clever appearance, Ling'er was taken by Mrs. Song, who was passing by at the time, so she bought it home and gave it to Miss Fuzhong as a playmate, and changed her name to Ling'er. During the period of studying with the young ladies of the son, under the influence of the ears and eyes, there is also a bit of literary brilliance.
Knowing a little more, Luo Qingluan didn't ask again, and soon a middle-aged man who claimed to be a housekeeper came and brought a meal to Luo Qingluan. All kinds of abundance, Luo Qingluan happened to be hungry, but he still took precautions and did not find a problem, so he ate two bowls and filled his stomach.
Until dark, Han Xun didn't come to her again, which surprised Luo Qingluan.
But if you think about it, you can guess it, I'm afraid that Han Xun is either discussing things with Lin Chuan, or thinking about how to arrange it after seeing Lin Xiaochen after arriving in Zhaojing, after all, because of his identity, he is somewhat sensitive when he comes to a neighboring country, if Han Xun is not careful, he is afraid that he will be taken advantage of by Emperor Southern Wei, so he naturally has to be cautious.
