Chapter 121: Half a Day of Leisure
"My lord, the little one has inquired clearly, that day our men chased Yuan Zhang to the vicinity of Honglu Siqing's house, first met the team of Jiazhou Boshizi, the other party may have recognized Yuan Zhang, and made a block, but after they reported the name of the Imperial City Division, they retreated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese are small ones I heard from the servants who followed the prince of Jiazhou that day. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, a capable old man reported carefully to Yang Jiefu's father and son.
"According to the information found earlier, these two good players are lost in this vicinity, if it weren't for Jiazhou Boshizi's shot, who would it be?" Yang Deming asked rhetorically.
"Jiazhou Boshizi and Yuan Zhang have a lot of discord, there is no reason why they would risk killing the subordinates of the Imperial City Division to oppose us." The old man continued, "The little one also heard from those servants that there were some barbarians from Mobei in the vicinity that day; The little one asked someone from the Honglu Temple's mansion, those people were the envoys of the Mobei Tang Kuo Department, and they came to the Honglu Temple's Mansion to ask the imperial court to open a mutual market with them again, and no one else passed through here that night; Xiao thought to himself, I'm afraid that those barbarians from Mobei left Yuan Zhang. ”
"Now that the little one has sent capable men all the way north to the border pass, if Yuan Zhang really votes for the barbarians, it won't be long before the news can be sent back." The old man did things very properly, and he had already started the next step without Yang Jiefu's instructions.
"If he votes for the barbarians, he will send someone to inform the slave chief and tell her that if she still wants to open a mutual market, she will obediently hand over Yuan Zhang!" Yang Deming said hatefully, these days because of Yuan Zhang, they have been repeatedly impeached in the court, and they are extremely passive.
"I'm afraid it's not so easy, the will to open a new mutual market has been made, and the Taiyuan Wang family, Yuan Rukui, the secretary of the military department, and other forces have made their efforts, and they still expect the mutual market to bring white silver, how can they let people make trouble from it?" Yang Jiefu closed his eyes and said slowly, "If that person is really in Mobei, I will order someone to bring some tea and silk to buy him back." ”
Yang Mansion is worried about Yuan Zhang's whereabouts unknown, but in Li You's Jiazhou Bofu is a joyful scene, today is the Daughter's Day, Li You arranged for the housekeeper to distribute mugwort leaves, five poison spirit talismans and other holiday items for the girls in the house, and he changed into civilian clothes and went to the river outside the capital with Xu Guang.
According to the customs spread in the Great Wei Dynasty, on the day of the Daughter's Day, all the girls who have not left the pavilion will dress up and invite each other to swim along the river bay to seek good luck; And this is also a good day for young men to get together with women they have admired for a long time, and Li You naturally will not miss this good time to meet Zhou Nan openly.
Walking through Yongfeng Fang, in the courtyard where no one is in the square, the flying flotsam of the willow trees falls like snowflakes; Outside the city, the cries of cuckoos and the return of plums to the plum trees by the river indicate that spring seems to be coming to an end.
Along the way, all kinds of richly decorated and fragrant carriages passed by the roadside, and from time to time you could hear the sound of delicate laughter, these women who had been in the boudoir for a long time could finally come out to play with fear, they opened the curtains and covered their faces with fans, showing only a pair of eyebrows, and looked intently at the men along the road.
The men on the side of the road also changed into their best clothes, or carried bows and arrows to show their heroic young demeanor, or pretended to be chic and wrote poems, in order to win the favor of a certain daughter, and then eyebrows, brocade books secretly sent, and achieved a good deed.
And Li You's appearance is quite handsome, the BMW under the crotch is extraordinary, although the clothes on his body are not very conspicuous at first glance, but if you know how to see it, you will understand that this dress is made of the best materials, sewn by the master of a time-honored tailor shop in Beijing, and the price is extraordinary.
Therefore, some bold women along the way took the initiative to send maids to talk, but unfortunately, Li You had a goal today, so he could only live up to their kindness.
When I arrived at the place by the river, I waited for a while and saw Danqing coming slowly with a carriage, Li You stepped forward and gently knocked her head with a folding fan, "Uncle Xu specially brought snacks, you go and think about him going, your young lady will be handed over to me to take care of today." ”
After leaning a little, Danqing and the accompanying groom hid to the side, leaving this grassy place to Li You and Zhou Nan; took out the felt cloth on the horse's back and spread it on the ground, invited Zhou Nan to sit down, and then Li You sat beside her, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but Sister Nan is getting better and better." ”
After such a long period of contact, Zhou Nan was helpless about his cheekiness, held his chin and looked at the river from afar, and asked in a soft and glutinous voice, "What fun did Brother Li bring today?" ”
"Yes, how could it not?" A while ago, the checkers sent by someone made Zhou Nan very happy, and Li You has already prepared today, how can you go on a wild tour without barbecue? He immediately unloaded the barbecue grill specially built by craftsmen from his horseback, took out the fine animal charcoal (carbon carved in the shape of beast cordyceps) and lit it, and then put the already marinated mutton on it, sprinkled cumin and spices, and in a short time the enticing aroma appeared.
It's a pity that I haven't found the chili pepper yet, so I can only use dogwood instead, which is a bit of a pity, but even this is enough to make Zhou Nan feast, and finally called Danqing, Xu Guang and others over to eliminate the baked food.
After eating, Danqing and the others stepped aside, Zhou Nan sat on the felt cloth and looked at his future husband stupidly, thinking of the endless wonderful gifts today, probably the life after marrying him will not be too lonely, right?
"I've written all the seasonings and baking recipes to Danqing, and if you want to eat them when you go back, you can make them yourself. Or you can sneak out to find me, as long as it's a holiday, I can take you around at any time. Li You glanced at Zhou Nan, hey, it is inhumane to lock such a flowery, lively and lovely little girl in the house.
"That one has a daughter's family running around, and besides, the sage has a cloud 'gentleman...'" Thinking about the delicacy just now, Zhou Nan was still embarrassed to say a few words about the gentleman's distant kitchen, and asked instead, "Today is such a beautiful day, does the brother of the Li family have new poems?" ”
"Huh? Well, let me think about it. Li You scratched his head, which one is appropriate to copy today? After pondering for a moment, he slowly chanted, "Count the." and reported Fang Ficher. Cherish the spring and fold the remnants of red. The rain is light and windy, and the plum is green. Yongfeng willow, no one ends the sun and snow. Don't pluck the strings. Grievances can be said. The sky is not old, and the love is indescribable. The heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots in it. The night has passed, and the east window has not been white. ”
