Chapter 411: The city is full of lotus flowers
Yao Ruoyu came back at the right time, it happened to be the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and it was only three days before the New Year.
Before the retreat, the city was still full of cold wind, and the branches and plums were hanging proudly, and when Yao Ruoyu, who had been in retreat for a day and night, pushed open the palace door, there was a continuous snow white in front of him, whether it was the branches and cold plums, or the exquisite and elegant carvings in the palace of King Wen, all of them were covered by the goose feathers and snow that drifted all over the sky.
When it came to Yao Ruoyu's current realm, it was naturally cold and heat, but Su Mei and Chen Xiang didn't know that the palace maids didn't know that they were scared when they saw him wearing a thin shirt, and they hurriedly brought a brocade robe to put it on him.
Before they got closer, they smelled a foul smell, although they were from poor people, Su Mei and Chen Xiang had never smelled such a foul smell, and they were all discolored for a while.
Seeing this, Yao Ruoyu waved his hand and said, "Smell it?" Why don't you hurry up and prepare hot water." ”
"Yes. Holding back not to pinch their noses, the women quickly turned their heads and ran.
Seeing their disgusted actions, Yao Ruoyu shook his head and said with a smile: "If Chan'er is here, most of them will have to train you again." ”
Thinking of Yan Fuchan, Yao Ruoyu seemed to see the cunning and lazy charming person in front of her eyes, and she was stunned for a while, and the joy of a breakthrough in the retreat also faded by a few points.
Within a moment, Su Mei ran over with a blushing face and led Yao Ruoyu into the dormitory.
When she pushed open a sliding door on the right, Yao Ruoyu was surprised to find that it was actually a bathroom, with brown floor tiles, and the surrounding walls were pasted with milky white clean masonry, which made people feel relaxed and happy when they saw it.
In the middle of the bathroom is a bathtub made of jade, surrounded by two wooden barrels, filled with warm water like the bathtub, and it is estimated that they are halfway through the wash to change the water.
Walking to the bathtub, Yao Ruoyu reached out and touched it, and found that the bathtub was extremely soft, not like jade, and he couldn't tell the material.
Suddenly, Su Mei, who had a pink face, stepped forward shyly, stretched out her hand and touched his shirt, and suddenly Yao Ruoyu was startled, opened it, frowned, and said, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that he seemed to be angry, Su Mei and the girls knelt down in a panic, and Su Mei said in a trembling voice: "Slave maid, wait for the prince to bathe." ”
Glancing at the women, Yao Ruoyu shook his head and said, "No need, you all go out." ”
Su Mei and the others were stunned when they heard this, hesitated, and saw that Yao Ruoyu was angry, so they retreated half relaxed and half aggrieved.
When they closed the door, Yao Ruoyu took off his clothes and pants and lay down in the bathtub.
I don't know if it's the effect of this bathtub, Yao Ruoyu was tired and swept away, until Su Mei came outside the house to report, saying that Bai Junru came to ask to see, and he climbed out.
King Wen's palace is huge, there are countless palaces, the Qiantian Palace is specially used for court meetings, and the place where Yao Ruoyu used to receive his subordinates alone is the Moxiang Pavilion on the left side of the Qiantian Palace, of course, it was not called this name originally, it was temporarily changed by Yao Ruoyu.
Coming to the Moxiang Pavilion, Bai Junru was already waiting here, the two met, Bai Junru said: "Wang Ye has been back for two days, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, why not Wang Ye cruising in the city today?"
Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Parade?"
"Exactly," Bai Junru obviously guessed his reaction, and said indifferently, "First, you can learn about the scenery of Chengdu, and second, you can increase the popularity of the people." ”
When talking about King Kezengmin, Yao Ruoyu guessed his thoughts to some extent, and chuckled: "But for what Song Kai did some time ago?"
Smiling, Bai Junru bowed his head and said: "The prince is elegant, the old minister is not hidden, some time ago, Minister Song, oh, Dean Song did it, it really made the families of all generations in the territory panic, and also aroused the rebellion of many families, but in the hearts of ordinary people, his reputation is not low." ”
"Oh?" Yao Ruoyu became interested, "Why?"
"Why don't you go on a cruise first, and talk as you go?" Bai Junru said with a smile.
"Old Minister Bai is still selling Guanzi," Yao Ruoyu smiled dumbly, got up and said, "Let's go." ”
In a short time, Chen Meng was already ready for the team.
Yao Ruoyu didn't care about Bai Junru's resignation, he pulled him into the car together, Chen Meng also followed with a grin, sat next to him with a knife, and then surrounded by fifty Tiance soldiers in the front and rear, the convoy slowly paraded through the city.
Originally, Yao Ruoyu wanted to ask why Song Kai had a high reputation among the people, but as soon as he started the parade, many people rushed to hear the news, and when he saw Yao Ruoyu sitting in the car, many people bowed and saluted excitedly, and Yao Ruoyu was stunned for a while.
Walking through several avenues one after another, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but ask, "Bai Lao, why are you so excited? From their point of view, we can be regarded as invaders!"
"This is a bad statement, for the people, it is nothing more than to eat enough and live a good life, I have been on a journey all the way to the west, although it is a misery, but it is indeed a love for the people under the rule, especially the policy of dividing the land according to people, now, every family has its own field, how can I not respect the prince?"
Yao Ruoyu was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Old Minister Bai would be so respectful of the policy of dividing land according to people, remember that at the beginning, you can be extremely opposed!"
With a dumb smile, Bai Junru sighed: "I have been with you for so long, and you have indeed accepted a lot of new ideas, some of which are still unacceptable, but some of them do make some sense." ”
"Therefore, the reason why Song Kai has such a strong reputation among the people is also related to this policy of dividing land according to people, right?" Yao Ruoyu touched his chin and said suddenly, "Only by slaughtering those families can they distribute the land in their hands to the people, so they respect Song Kai so much." ”
"It's true, but it's not all," Bai Junru smiled and explained, "Wanyan Yantao pursues the Jin people as the first class, the Mongolian people as the second class, the Nanban and other ethnic minorities as the third class, and the Song people as the fourth class, so there are few Song people in Sichuan who can get ahead." ”
Under this policy, those who can become the family level are either Jin people, or Mongolian people, very few Song people, and although they are Song people, they are more ruthless than Jin people and Mongolian people, so although Dean Song slaughtered more than 1,000 people, he won the respect of the people, and many people called him Dawen Bao Qingtian. ”
Yao Ruoyu smiled, shook his head with a wry smile, and Chen Meng in the back laughed even more.
After figuring out the doubts in their hearts, Yao Ruoyu and Bai Junru rode around together, and the people along the street flocked to worship one after another.
*——*——*——*
After class, Song Nian sent off the last student, picked up a broom and bent over to clean the study hall, and by the way, he also folded up a few textbooks that had been missed by the naughty bag and put them in the corner of the lectern.
After cleaning, Song Nian straightened up and rubbed her slightly sore waist, she seemed to suddenly remember something, her cheeks that were flushed because of the work she had just worked on were hot.
At this time, she heard a creaking sound outside, as if someone had pushed the door in, she couldn't help but turn her head happily, and was about to say hello, her smile couldn't help but stiffen, the person who came was an aunt in her early forties, she ran in excitedly, and didn't pay attention to the change in Song Nian's expression, and said hurriedly: "Song family girl, still here, King Wen is cruising outside, and the big guys have gone to see it." ”
"King Wen?" Song Nian lost his mind slightly, but he recalled the words that the person often put on his lips.
"King Wen is my good buddy!" Thinking of the Haikou boasted by the man, Song Nian couldn't help but smile.
Seeing her smirking at herself, the aunt stomped her feet again and again, ran over and grabbed her wrist and dragged her outside: "Let's go, my stinky girl has run over to see it, you talk about it, don't look at what you look like, she is still a mother of three babies, and she looks nymphomaniac." ”
"Hey, wait......" Song Nian hurriedly stopped and looked around hesitantly.
That person usually comes here every day, but I don't know why recently, he hasn't been here for several days, if he leaves now, will he just wait a while to come?
After hesitating for a moment, Song Nian just stomped his feet, pouted, hum, he deserved not to see himself!
"Let's go!" Pulling up the aunt, Song Nian grinned, wrapped up the cotton robe tightly and ran out of the study, and followed the aunt to the street outside the alley.
At this time, it was already a sea of people, men and women, old and young, all crowded together, scrambling to look at the convoy that was slowly moving here.
That aunt is not an ordinary family, his father is the owner of the pork shop in the alley, it is said that he was discharged from the army, and his pig-killing knife, it is said that he once killed seven people, that cold blood, countless naughty bags in the alley did not dare to go to the pork shop to make trouble, for fear that the strong man like a wild boar would carry a knife to kill.
Relying on her burly body and the deterrent power of the pig-killing knife at home, the aunt squeezed and pushed, and forced Song Nian to fight her way through the crowd and forcibly squeezed to the front of the team.
Seeing a row of Tiance armor soldiers wearing strong armor standing in front of him, the great god weighed his father's pig-killing knife, decisively chose to give up and continue to charge, pulled Song Nian to probe again and again, and looked at the approaching convoy.
The convoy slowly approached, and the several figures on the car gradually became clear in the eyes of the second girl, it was not the figure in Song Nian's mind, and suddenly the light in her eyes dimmed slightly, and she lost interest in continuing to watch.
The aunt was full of energy, and her whole body was almost attached to the back of the armor soldier in front of her, and she kept waving towards King Wen, until the car gradually moved away, turned around the street corner, and disappeared from their sight, she smacked her lips unsatisfactorily, and smiled at Song Nian: "Song family girl, that King Wen doesn't look good!"
Seeing several Tiance armor warriors turning their heads and glaring at each other, Song Nian hurriedly pulled his aunt out of the crowd.
Back in the alley, the aunt was still chattering: "Don't let people say it, it doesn't look good, but it's still old, and it's the prince, if any girl marries him, he will definitely enjoy all the glory and wealth in the second half of his life!"
Song Nian smiled lightly, silently listened to the chatter all the way, and after sending the aunt away, she stood at the gate of the academy, puffed out her cheeks, and looked around cautiously, but she still didn't see the familiar figure, and she felt depressed for a while, turned around and pushed open the wooden door with little violence, and walked in with her sleeves flicked.
Walking into the front yard, Song Nian glanced around, and was about to go to her room, but when she came to the well, she paused, her neck was a little stiff and turned her head to look at the well, the barrel and mop that had been placed here before were gone.
The throat rolled slightly, Song Nian slowly turned around, and came to the door of the school step by step, the wooden door was as empty as when she left, but inexplicably, with an inexplicable hope and encouragement, she slowly raised her hand and pushed open the wooden door, and what caught her eye was the familiar figure bending over and dragging the ground.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man turned his head, and in an instant, what Song Nian saw in his eyes was the ruffian smile that was so familiar that it made people's hearts tremble.
