Chapter 419: Similarity
For some reason, Huo Roufeng suddenly lost her interest in shopping. It's a very strange feeling, like asking someone to look around, and spending a lot of money, and finally buying an object you like, and when you are surprised, someone tells you that the object is specially prepared for you, and then you do everything possible to buy it at a great price.
When Huo Roufeng opened the sedan curtain again, she found that she had arrived at the big courtyard.
Hua Sanniang used to sell fish in the big yard.
In the past two years, Hua Sanniang has often disappeared for many days as before, and then suddenly appeared out of nowhere, lived in Shuangjing Hutong for a few days, and disappeared without a trace after a few days.
Before Huo Roufeng went to Guangdong, he instructed Cai Qin, no one should ask Hua Sanniang's whereabouts, the monthly routine is as follows, the clothes are done, what needs she can meet are met, and if she can't be satisfied, ask the eldest lady.
Just before Huo Roufeng came back, I heard Caiqin say that Hua Sanniang had disappeared for half a month.
Huo Roufeng had long been accustomed to what Hua Sanniang did, and if she hadn't just walked to the big courtyard, she would almost not have remembered.
She poked her head out of the sedan chair and said to Zhang Ting, who was following behind the sedan chair, "Go and see, she's not there." ”
Who this "she" is, others may not know, but Zhang Ting must know it.
On a small two-story building in the distance, a man wearing a bamboo blue Hangzhou silk jacket turned his clairvoyance in his hand with great interest, and said to himself: "Like, really like!" ”
The young man standing beside him had a long face and clear eyebrows, and he asked with a smile, "What do you see?" ”
The man handed him the clairvoyant and said, "See for yourself." ”
The young man took the clairvoyance and looked at it, and there was a familiar scenery in front of him, a large courtyard with many birds, two mule carts to buy vegetables and fruits, and a small green cloth sedan chair across the street.
The young man gave the clairvoyant back to the young man in confusion and said, "I didn't see anything." ”
The young man laughed and said, "Xiao Su, then you must have no eyes, I saw a little beauty, not only beautiful, but also very familiar." ”
The young man was puzzled and asked, "Lord, when did you also have the habit of watching women on the street, if you let the ladies in the palace hear it, maybe they all ran to the street and waited for you to see." ”
King Qing laughed and said to the young man: "Don't make fun of this king, how can this king be so unbearable?" Do you see a green cloth sedan chair on the side of the road? ”
The boy said, "I see." ”
King Qing said: "This king just saw that in the sedan chair, a woman poked her head out. That woman is very much like a person, Huo Jiu! ”
The young man's brows frowned slightly, and he said, "Huo Jiu? ”
King Qing still didn't put down the clairvoyance in his hand, he continued to say to himself: "Huo Jiu, it's a pity. ”
The corners of the young man's mouth on the side twitched, and he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything.
King Qing seemed to be pitying Huo Jiu's situation, he sighed, and said to the young man beside him: "What this king saw was just a little girl, but if she hadn't dressed up as a woman, this king would have thought it was Huo Jiu." Xiao Su, when Huo Yan returns to Beijing, you should go and ask him. ”
The boy who was called Xiao Su by King Qing was Su Qian. The clairvoyance has always been in King Qing's hands, and when Su Qian went to see it, the face poking out of the sedan chair was long gone, and he couldn't imagine what the person who looked like Huo Jiu in King Qing's mouth looked like.
But Su Qian also saw everything that should be seen and wrote it down.
He was skeptical of King Qing's words, but the last words of King Qing made a lot of sense.
King Qing asked him to go to Huo Yan to inquire about the news.
In the past two years, Huo Yan has often been in and out of Shuangjing Hutong, and it is said that Huo Dagongzi and Huo Jiu have some friendship.
Su Qian responded, and was about to turn around, when he heard King Qing say faintly: "Huo Jiu and Zhanhuai have a good personal relationship, after Zhanhuai left Beijing, Huo Jiu and Huo Yan became close friends, it stands to reason that Huo Yan and Zhanhuai should have a grudge even if they have no enmity, but Huo Jiu has a deep friendship with both of them, and this matter does not seem to be a coincidence anyway." ”
Su Qian didn't speak, he took a book and walked to the other end.
King Qing sighed again, he thought of Zhanhuai, and at the same time remembered King Rong.
Not to his surprise, the emperor asked Zhanhuai to continue the pursuit until he cut off King Rong's head.
But unexpectedly, it was Zhanhuai, who actually asked the court for grain, grass and silver at this time. Zhan Huai said that over the years, not only the lack of grain and grass, even the military salary can not be paid, in the Central Plains when the people's hearts are one, the local rich take the initiative to send grain and silver, but to the northwest, the situation is different, King Rong has been in the northwest for many years, the people only know King Rong but do not know that there is an emperor, even if King Rong is defeated now, the northwest is still hostile to the official army, in this way, not to mention military pay and food, even if you see it from afar, those people will also bypass.
In the final analysis, Zhanhuai means not giving money and not sending troops.
Emperor Long Yan was furious, and asked the household department and the military department to scrape together, and finally scraped together 50,000 loads of grain and grass and 30,000 taels of silver, but these were only a drop in the bucket for the Pingxi army.
The two sides were in a stalemate for half a year, and finally Zhanhuai made another break, this time changing his tone, no longer being tough, but proposing that he want the class teacher to return to the court.
In other words, King Rong stopped fighting.
Although the emperor was displeased, in the early dynasty, the imperial historians also scolded Zhanhuai in front of the elders, but in the end, Zhanhuai still returned to the dynasty.
King Qing wanted to laugh, this was really a big joke, the court was actually led by the nose by the general who led the troops outside, knowing that he couldn't do it, but in the end he couldn't do it.
What he wanted to make fun of more was the Queen Mother and himself. He really made a wedding dress for someone else.
He just wanted to see now that Zhanhuai was going to sacrifice prisoners outside the city, and who the captives he would sacrifice would be.
Thinking about it like this, when he saw the woman who looked like Huo Jiu, King Qing no longer cared about it.
Zhanhuai left King Rong's life, not because his subordinates showed mercy, but because he wanted to use King Rong to contain the emperor, the queen mother, and King Qing.
King Qing sneered: "It is worthy of being taught by the old fox of the Duke of Min, since he firmly grasped the victory, Zhanhuai has not thought about killing King Qing, this trick is indeed poisonous." ”
Huo Roufeng didn't know that she was being targeted, she learned that Hua Sanniang was not selling fish in the compound, and she didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, Hua Sanniang came back.
As soon as Hua Sanniang entered the door, she asked the maids to carry hot water, and she washed for two hours before she changed into soft clothes and lazily came to see Huo Roufeng.
Huo Roufeng looked at Hua Sanniang with blazing eyes for a long time before asking, "I want to check Xie Sicheng, are you willing?" ”
Hua Sanniang's eyes flashed, and she didn't know whether to go down for a while.
