Chapter 311: Private Visit

As the two walked along, they saw a group of young girls gathered in front of a house. They were tightly blocked, and they were head-to-ear.

Wei Luo was a little curious, and she took Jingling's hand and stepped forward.

A woman's voice came from within, "All the ladies are lined up, one by one. ”

"Yes."

"Yes."

In the chaotic shouting, Wei Luo finally saw clearly, it turned out that the woman was standing in front of the stone platform, using chicken feathers to dip a little dansha in the pottery cup, and painted a pattern on the forehead of each girl.

The pattern, painted in the shape of mountains and rivers, is a blessing.

Wei Luo looked at these girls dressed in ordinary linen clothes with clean faces, and asked curiously, "Why is this?" ”

Jing Ling did not answer her question.

At this time, the woman painted a picture on the forehead of a girl with the most delicate face while dipped in red dansha with chicken feathers, and said with a smile: "Shu's face is still beautiful, and she may be able to be taken care of by the prince." ”

As soon as the woman's voice fell, the girl was already smiling and overjoyed.

Wei Luo was surprised.

She turned her head, looked at Jingling in astonishment, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "You, do you want to regain the palace maid?" ”

Jing Ling shook his head, and he said lightly: "The prince is newly established, and the palace maid is a big chong, this is the usual practice. ”

He is saying that these people in front of him are the girls who know that he has just succeeded to the throne and are looking forward to him becoming a palace maid. Because they are looking forward to it, they will pray for blessings.

And the reason why they pray is because they are not sure. What they are not sure about is whether the new marquis, who is very fond of his wife, will be a palace maid, and they don't know if he will be favored once he expands.

The girls gathered in front of the woman were all from ordinary backgrounds, and perhaps this time was the only chance in their lives for them to get glory and wealth. Therefore, they are to pray.

Wei Luo pursed his lips, lowered his head, and did not speak for a long time.

Jingling also did not speak.

He shook Wei Luo's hand and turned away without hesitation. Leave the expectant and anxious girls behind.

After a long time, Wei Luo let out a low sigh, and she muttered, "I just want to have you." When you wake up, you are by the pillow, when you drink, you are the same, and when you are drunk, you have me in your arms. That's it, that's all. Jingling, why is this world so difficult? ”

Her voice was small, weak, faint, and disappeared in the air.

Jing Ling didn't look back, just led her forward.

When Wei Luo thought that he would not answer at all, he said in a faint voice: "I have ordered, the maids in the palace are full, and there is no need to fill them up." ”

He's explaining.

Wei Luo looked up quickly.

She glanced at him, turned her face away, and a smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth.

She clenched her fingers slightly.

Sensing her small movements, Jing Ling wrapped her little hands tighter.

The two of them walked like this, and they had reached the outside of the second city. The people who lived here were some declining nobles, or ordinary scholars and concubines (slave-turned-freemen), as well as some common people who were in good condition.

In the center of the castle, in the middle of the intersection of three dirt roads, there is a large stone monument, on which hundreds of characters are carved with knives. These words are the code. In the past, the Marquis of Jin engraved the code on it so that all the people could see it.

On the streets full of mud puddles, children can often be seen laughing and playing. As the wagons approached, they shouted to avoid them.

The houses here are all ordinary stone houses, and behind the stone houses, there are many thatched houses. In the low houses, bursts of laughter can be heard from time to time. Along with the laughter, there were wisps of smoke.

Jingling stopped, he listened to those laughter, and said, "The people are still safe. ”

Wei Luo nodded.

At this moment, behind them, a gentle middle-aged woman's voice came, "Abandon it, and eat it." ”

As soon as her voice fell, a boy of about ten years old rushed over and shouted with joy, "It's time to eat!" Let's eat! ”

He rushed to the woman, took her by the dress, and jumped towards a thatched hut.

When Jing Ling saw this, he suddenly said, "Are you thirsty?" ”

Without waiting for Wei Luo to answer, he took Wei Luo by the hand and followed the woman and the child to their hut.

This thatched hut is only about two meters high, about four rooms, and it is the same as what Wei Luo saw when he first came to your place, and every two meters of thatched huts, a tree trunk is inserted into the soil like a stake. Between the trunks of the trees, which had not been scraped off the green bark, there were several bamboo poles, and between the bamboo poles were tightly tucked thatch, and the thatch was coated with mud.

As soon as the two approached, the woman became nervous. She turned her head to look at the two of them, and at that moment, a man in his thirties with a dark, thin face stepped out of the thatched hut. The man wore a crown and was obviously a scholar.

When Jingling saw it, he was stunned.

He crossed his hands towards the man, bowed, and then said aloud, "It's abrupt." Seeing the gentleman's room, the smoke is wisps, the words and smiles are Yan Yan, and he is unexpectedly close. ”

He said, "I saw the smoke and laughter in your room, and before I knew it, I approached.

The man laughed.

With Jingling and Wei Luo's bearing, anyone can understand that they are good at first sight. Therefore, the attitude of the Nashi people was extremely cautious. He crossed his hand towards Jingling and said, "Qianmo traffic, everyone can get there." The gentleman is polite. Why not talk about it? ”

Qianmo traffic, everyone can reach the meaning that the field road, the official road are all connected, where the road is connected, people can communicate with each other, can be intimate.

When Jing Ling got his invitation, he couldn't help but smile, and said with his hands crossed: "Fortunately." ”

He took Wei Luo by the hand and followed the man into the thatched hut.

In the thatched hut, there are three tables, and on each table, there is a bowl of boiled soybeans, which is rice, and in front of the rice, there is a plate of wild vegetables. Wild vegetables are pickled and there is no oil on them.

It seems that the family's situation is not good.

At this time, the child and the woman were each kneeling behind a table. When they saw Jingling and the two of them coming in, they stood up at the same time, stood solemnly with their hands crossed, bowed their heads and said nothing.

This is politeness, when a distinguished guest comes, abandons food, stands solemnly, and is silent as a sign of respect.

Jing Ling waved his hand and said, "It's edible." ”

"No."

Mother and son sat down at the same time and started eating. From beginning to end, including the Nashi people, they didn't find that when Jingling ordered them to eat, their tone was so natural, and their promise was also so natural.

After all, my knowledge is limited. Wei Luo secretly thought: If it is seen by knowledgeable people, just Jingling's sentence "edible" will arouse suspicion.

The Nashi people took Wei Luo and Jingling to another thatched house, in which there were several stone platforms with some thick bamboo slips.

Bamboo slips are placed in the house, indicating that the owner of the house is literate. Literacy, this is already a great skill. It is precisely because of his literacy that he can become a scholar.

In the middle of the house, there were several collapses, and the man hurriedly stretched out his hand to drag over these old, patched collapses everywhere, and the wooden tables with hairy edges. He saluted Jingling again and said, "Gentleman, please take a seat." ”

"Yes."

Jing Ling was not polite, he simply sat down on the main seat in the middle. Wei Luo dragged over a collapse table and sat down behind him.

After the scholar sat down, he raised his hands and said to Jingling: "There is no wine and no food in the hut, don't blame the gentleman." ”

"Jun Duo is polite."

Jingling smiled and said: "Wen Jun has a Qi tone in his voice, but is he a person from Qi Land? ”

"Yes, yes."

"The soil of Jun's hut is not dry, and it is obviously new. Could it be that Jun just came to Xintian? ”

"Yes, yes."

The scholar crossed his hands to Jingling and sighed, "Who is the gentleman?" When you look at and hear it, you will know where I come from. The gentleman is extraordinary. ”

He's complimenting.

But this kind of observation should be possessed by Jingling, or for any person in a higher position. Therefore, when this scholar's praise was heard, Jingling just smiled faintly.

He frowned slightly, and after a slight pause, he said slowly: "Jun's wife and children, eat green beans and wild vegetables, could it be that when you go to Xintian, you have never been under the powerful people?" ”

When the man heard this, he sighed heavily.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Although I am a grandson, I have been lonely and poor for a long time. This time, Wen Xinli Jin Jun, regardless of his background, regardless of his family and country. So I bought all the fields and came here with my family. Hey—"

It ended with a long sigh.

Jingling asked, "Why is the gentleman so resting?" ”

The man shook his head again and again, and smiled bitterly.

He stroked his forehead with his sleeve and sighed: "I have only been in Xintian for more than a month, but I heard that this new Jin Jun, although he is brave, is afraid of women. It's unbearable, it's unbearable. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Wei Luo and Jing Ling changed at the same time.

The man stroked his forehead with his sleeve, but he did not notice the expressions of the two, and he said to himself, "Give up the two cities for their wives!" Alone in Chu, standing under the dangerous wall, just to save his wife! Recently, I heard that the dignified prince actually allowed that woman to drive away all the concubines in the back garden! Duh! I never knew that as a prince, there is a lust so far, and there is no one who will not defeat the country! Eh, Jin is in danger, Jin is dead! ”

At this moment, Jing Ling's face turned blue, while Wei Luo's face turned pale, and she bit her lip tightly. If you don't know Jingling's personality well, you know that he is proud, and you don't like to beat around the bush and do treacherous ways in small things. She almost wondered if the family was looking for a drag.

The man sighed again and again, and his voice continued, "I want to return to my country, but I don't have much money. ”

This sentence is to answer Jingling's question, why he didn't become a powerful diner. Because he wants to return to his homeland, he can't go to any powerful person and become their eater. Because once you become a powerful diner, you have to serve the master for at least a few years. This person has no confidence in the Jin Kingdom, so he naturally doesn't want to be dragged down.

There was silence in the room.

The man sighed again and again, his face depressed.

Wei Luo's face was pale, her eyes were lowered, her heart was in a trance, and after a while, she heard Jing Ling say in a low voice: "Let's go." ”

Wei Luo stood up, her head bowed, biting her lip.

After Jing Ling and Na Shifu exchanged a few more words, they strode towards Wei Luo. The two of them still held hands and walked towards the city. It's just that at this moment, although their hands are holding each other, their palms are cold.

As soon as the two of them returned to the first city, a discussion came from the side of the road, "The king is lustful, and the king is virtuous, but they are really two things!" ”

"Wrong! The disaster of women is very great, since ancient times, all lustful people are the kings of the country! ”

"Duh! Zeng Wenjin's wife was wise, and this time she retreated to Qin Chu and made great contributions. How can a prince not love such a beautiful woman? The gentleman is overstated. ”

The jumbled arguments abounded.

Wei Luo listened and sighed. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Jingling.

Looking at him, Wei Luo opened his mouth, but closed it again.

Jing Ling looked forward intently, as if she didn't notice her desire to speak.

He took her by the hand, and instead of returning to the palace, he turned to the other side of the city.

As she went, Wei Luo suddenly found that if a scholar spoke and an argument came, the content must be related to her.

Unconsciously, the entire Xintian has been filled with a layer of uneasy smoke because of her behavior.

Listening to these endless arguments, I looked at Jingling's blue face. Wei Luo stopped suddenly.

She turned to look at him.

Jing Ling looked up in a daze.

Looking at each other, Wei Luo actually saw a trace of trance in Jingling's eyes.

She looked at him, looking at him quietly, and suddenly, Wei Luo smiled.

This smile is beautiful.

Jingling never thought that she would still be able to laugh at this time. He frowned and looked at her suspiciously.

Wei Luo stared into his eyes, and she reached out and slowly stroked his knotted eyebrows.

Her movements are gentle, calm and powerful.

In Jingling's puzzled eyes, Wei Luoying's lips spit lightly, and said slowly: "Jingling, do you know? There is no perfection in the world. ”

She winked at him, Mo Yu's eyes were extremely bright, but there was a trace of sentimentality that could not be reasoned, "The most beautiful scenery in the world is the end of the moon before the flowers are fully bloomed." When the flowers are in full bloom, they will fail, and when the moon is complete, they will lose. Jingling, do you know that the world can't have it both ways? ”

Wei Luo's words have a kind of philosophies, like the truth that only a saint can say.

Jing Ling frowned and pondered.

Wei Luo smiled lowly, his voice was soft and gentle, but there was a kind of contemplation and loneliness like ice, "Jingling, you want to be the overlord, you want to win the hearts of all the wise men in the world, you want to be famous in the annals of history, you want to be admired by thousands of people, and you want me to be your wife." However, I will not be one of your harem wives and concubines! Even if it is the one you love the most and the one you value the most! Jingling, I am pleased with you, but because I am pleased with you, I cannot tolerate having you with other women! Jingling, if you only want to become the monarch of the Jin Kingdom who is praised by everyone and never criticized, you can abandon me! If you are willing to keep me, bear with me. ”

When she said this, she sighed faintly and didn't look over.
