Chapter Eighty-Four: Wei Ziyang's Mansion
In the courtyard, a red horse is galloping on the square, and on the horse, a general in full armor sits on the horse. He held a strong bow in his hand, and the string was like a full moon.
I saw him shout softly, the arrow shot out like lightning, and in the howling of the wind, after drawing an arc in the air, a perfect arc, and a "porphyr" shot down the leaves a hundred steps away, deep into the trunk of another tree.
Beside him, several guards cheered at the same time. The young general jumped off his horse, took the hot towel from the handmaiden's hand, and wiped the sweat stains off his face.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Feng Wan.
Throwing the towel in his hand, the boy strode towards her.
In the morning light, the young man's long legs and long body, inky iron-like armor, reflecting the young man's beautiful face, have a light that makes people can't take their eyes off.
What's more, he came with the sun on his back, and it seemed that the ten thousand golden lights behind him were just his embellishments, all adding style to this young man in the turbid world.
Seeing Wei Ziyang like this, Feng Wan's gaze avoided.
He is the kind of person who is born high, no matter what way, whether he wants to or not, he is destined to stand on a high place. Such a person, compared with a small person like her, is thousands of miles away?
Wei Ziyang walked in front of Feng Wan.
Looking down at her, the young man's crisp and hoarse voice was a little cold, "Why did you come?" ”
Feng Wan heard the resentment in the young man's tone, and for his concern, she couldn't help but raise her lips and smile, and replied softly: "You have just returned to the house, and the nobles are in and out like clouds, so you have to wait." ”
She's telling the truth.
Even today, many people came to ask to see them, but they were impatiently blocked back by Wei Ziyang.
Wei Ziyang snorted lightly, and he paced with his hands on his back, "You don't have to think so much about it in the future." ”
Feng Wan smiled, and she responded obediently: "Hmm." ”
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and only a call could be heard, "General Wei is here?" ”
Wei Ziyang frowned and turned around, and before he could speak, another voice came clearly, "He doesn't like mundane things, let's go in directly." ”
The person who spoke was none other than His Royal Highness.
It turned out that the Fifth Highness had come down. Feng Wan reflexively took a step back, and without looking up, she whispered to Wei Ziyang: "The noble man is here, Rong Awan retreats." "Although the Fifth Highness has already gone outside, Feng Wan wants to come, this kind of noble person will not rush straight in in a hurry, she still has time to retreat.
Wei Ziyang was about to nod, only to hear the sound of footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, the call of the Fifth Highness came loudly, "Ziyang, Ziyang?" ”
In the midst of the call, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness led more than a dozen people into the courtyard and appeared in front of everyone.
Wei Ziyang raised his head, stepped up to meet him, and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness is down?" Ziyang is late. ”
The Fifth Highness smiled and was about to speak, when he glanced at it, but saw Feng Wan standing in the corner.
Looking at Feng Wan, His Royal Highness asked suspiciously, "This is, Feng Awan?" He turned his head to look at Wei Ziyang.
As early as when he was in Yuancheng, he found that Wei Ziyang was very interested in this ordinary-looking woman. After arriving in the capital, he didn't see any movement between them, and he thought that Wei Ziyang had forgotten about this woman? Unexpectedly, not only did he not forget, but on such an important day, when other noble women and powerful people were not allowed to enter, he welcomed this woman into his courtyard cautiously.
Could it be that this Wei Ziyang, who doesn't like others to get close, really likes this kind of woman?
Facing Feng Wan, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness was not jealous, he just looked at her curiously and with interest, and laughed, "Ziyang didn't come out of the door, but it turned out to be hiding Jiao in the Golden House." ”
Kanaya Zangjiao, this idiom is not used properly. Not to mention that Feng Wan is a woman, that is, Feng Wan is Zhao Jun's wife, and it is too abrupt for His Royal Highness to say this.
Feng Wan's face changed slightly, and he secretly thought: I hope this word will not be spread.
At this time, His Royal Highness had already turned to Wei Ziyang and said gently: "Ziyang, go back to the capital, why are you still sweating so much?" ”
After the rebuke, he said kindly, "Go and wash." It's not early, you have to go to tonight's banquet if you don't want to. ”
He glanced at Feng Wan and said with a smile: "You woman shouldn't go with you." ”
Feng Wan's face changed drastically.
She was blessed and said respectfully: "Your Highness is serious, a concubine who has a husband, how can she act against her husband?" ”
"Acting on the back?" His Royal Highness frowned, he looked at Wei Ziyang on the side, and said with a slight smile: "You Han people, you just have a lot of things on your mind. ”
As soon as he said this, there was a rumbling sound outside, and in the midst of the agitation, the fourth princess called out delicately: "The fifth brother is also here?" That's great. ”
As she spoke, she ran in panting. As soon as she saw Wei Ziyang from afar, she stood there with her head down and helpless.
The fourth princess was originally born extremely beautiful, but at this moment, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a white and tender hand holding a skirt, and her smiling expression implied grievances and pettiness, as if she was afraid that Wei Ziyang would be displeased, so she scolded herself.
Such a lady of the sky, putting on such a cautious, charming and moving appearance, even the iron man will be moved. Wei Ziyang glanced at it, but turned his head away inadvertently.
Seeing this, the Fifth Highness on the side was moved.
He waved his hand and called, "Fourth sister, what are you doing standing?" Come and see Ziyang. ”
The fourth princess was about to take such a step, and when she heard this, she hummed and walked over delicately. Quietly glancing at Wei Ziyang, she took a blessing and called softly: "General Wei." ”
Towards Wei Ziyang, with a shy glance, the fourth princess saw Feng Wan standing on the side.
Originally, Feng Wan's appearance and woman's dress would not be eye-catching. But the fourth princess, like the fifth highness, is familiar with Wei Ziyang's character, and knows that he has turned away many powerful girls in the past two days, but why was this woman able to come in?
All of a sudden, Wei Ziyang's abnormality when he was with Feng Wan poured out of the memory of the fourth princess.
Thinking about it, the fourth princess's face changed slightly.
At this moment, Wei Ziyang's low voice came, "I know what you said, you can retreat." ”
What he said was for Feng Wan.
Feng Wan immediately understood what he meant, she was blessed, and whispered to Wei Ziyang: "There is Lao Langjun who bothered." The concubine retired. ”
With that, she lowered her head and slowly stepped back.
Silently retreated from the side of the Fifth Highness and the Fourth Princess, and in the blink of an eye, Feng Wan had retreated to the gate of the courtyard. Just as she was about to turn around and step out of the door, the fourth princess suddenly called: "Wait." ”
Kicking and kicking, she quickly ran to Feng Wan's side, intimately reached out to hold her arm, and grinned: "Your name is Feng Awan, right?" Why did Sister Awan go so fast? Hehe, in my fifth brother's mansion, there is a banquet tonight. ”
She approached Feng Wan and whispered very intimately and happily: "My fifth brother is about to be crowned the crown prince, and this banquet tonight can be regarded as a celebratory banquet." Sister, you're here, how can you not cheer? ”
The fourth princess is a princess, so intimate, talking to Feng Wan gently, if she is an ordinary woman, she will be flattered.
Feng Wan didn't.
She was vigilant that while the fourth princess was talking to herself like this, she glanced at Wei Ziyang from time to time, watching his expression change.
The more she looked at it, the more pale the fourth princess's face became. Where Wei Ziyang couldn't see, the fourth princess bit her lip, and tears were faint in her eyes: He looked at me like that, was he afraid that I would say something unpleasant and scare this ugly woman?
The fourth princess didn't want to think like this, but she really admired this young man, and every day and night, she unconsciously pondered his words and deeds, and analyzed his thoughts and hobbies. Therefore, when she thought of the glance he cast just now, she couldn't help but have such an idea.
The fourth princess squeezed out a smile, slowly left Feng Wan, and said with a forced smile: "Sister Awan, we can make up our minds." The words are coquettish, but she can't help but refuse in the action. Holding Feng Wan's arm like this, the fourth princess walked towards Wei Ziyang.
Feng Wan sighed secretly and let the fourth princess drag forward.
In fact, she had thought about this for a long time, with Wei Ziyang's appearance, the people who admired him in the entire capital were unknown. If you want peace, it's better to stay away from him, as far away as possible.
Sighing again, Feng Wan said: I have always relied on good and evil, since I want to rely on him wholeheartedly, I have to bear all this. The top priority at the moment is to calm down, the soldiers are coming, and the water is coming.
The two girls came to Wei Ziyang. The fourth princess glanced at him quietly, and said softly: "General Wei, it's still early, can I play with Sister Awan in your mansion for a while?" ”
The voice is delicate and careful, where is the tone of a princess?
Wei Ziyang glanced at the fourth princess, then looked at Feng Wan, and he said coldly, "Whatever you want." ”
After saying that, he strode towards the Fifth Highness and said with a smile: "Yesterday, someone sent an urn of old wine, saying that it is liked by the people of Jiankang. Your Highness, let's have a drink. ”
His Royal Highness laughed and said, "Okay, good, I'll get drunk with Ziyang today." ”
The fourth princess clasped Feng Wan's arm, walked aimlessly for a while, and then stopped in a small garden behind the courtyard.
Looking at the quiet surroundings, the fourth princess smiled and said: "Ziyang is really true, he has become a general, and he refuses to buy a few slaves and maids, what do you think this courtyard looks like?" ”
Feng Wan was busy beside him and said yes with a smile.
Listening to Feng Wan's honest laughter, the fourth princess slowly turned her head.
She stared at Feng Wan quietly.
Tomorrow, the daylight is very good, she stares like this, but Feng Wan feels cold.
The fourth princess stared straight at Feng Wan, staring at her honestly before she withdrew her gaze. Turning around slowly, the fourth princess whispered, "He looks at you differently. ”
After a pause, the fourth princess turned her back to Feng Wan and asked, "Why is this?" ”
Feng Wan lowered her head and muttered, "The princess is too worried." ”
The fourth princess turned around and stared at Feng Wan again.
As far as the sun is concerned, the woman in front of her has white and tender skin, beautiful eyes, and a desirable figure. But that's all! As she was, five out of ten nobles in the city were better than her. Just now, she stood behind Wei Ziyang, like a bright moon and a tile stone placed together.
Such a woman, let alone Wei Ziyang, would not be able to look down on any nobleman.
Thinking about it, the fourth princess had doubts about her judgment.
As she muttered, Feng Wan whispered, "Actually, the concubine and General Wei also have a relationship. In the eyes of the four princesses who suddenly stared, Feng Wan lowered her head and said: "In the past, when I was in Yuancheng, the concubine and General Wei met in poverty, and the husband and master of the concubine could come to the capital, and they were all brought by General Wei. General Wei attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has always regarded concubines as old friends. ”
These four princesses have heard of it.
But she didn't take it to heart before, but now that Feng Wan mentioned it, she remembered it.
However, what did Wei Ziyang's eyes say just now? The fourth princess couldn't say anything, but she just felt that when she whispered to this woman just now, he looked at her eyes vigilantly, and he was guarding against himself from hurting this woman?
At this moment, the fourth princess heard Feng Wan in a low voice, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "General Wei is too affectionate, and on the way, he also said that I am his sister." ”
Sister?
He treats her as a sister?
The fourth princess's heart was relieved, and she seemed to understand something.
At that moment, she walked in broken steps, leaned on Feng Wan, the fourth princess held her arm, and said ashamedly: "So that's the case, Sister Awan, I was rude just now, don't be surprised." ”
Feng Wan hurriedly smiled: "No, no, the princess is also a temperamental, where will the concubine be strange?" ”
She looked at the fourth princess, pursed her lips and said: "The fourth princess is as delicate as a flower, her identity is noble and her temperament is good, and she can take a fancy to Ziyang, which is his blessing." ”
She took the fourth princess's hand and walked to the side and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Ziyang him, he didn't have a good life before, and he is a person who takes grievances too seriously. The princess can not oppress people with her identity, I think Ziyang will definitely like the princess. ”
Feng Wan's tone was gentle and kind, and it was clearly the tone of a big sister. The fourth princess listened to it, and couldn't help but think of her as Wei Ziyang's sister.
She bit her lip and choked with tears: "I know he doesn't like me." It was that time when I asked him out that he was drugged, he refused to forgive me. ”
She clasped Feng Wan's hand tightly and said expectantly: "Sister Awan, you may explain to him, saying that I really didn't mean it, and I was also framed." ”
Feng Wan nodded hurriedly, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears of the fourth princess, ** said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely say." Don't cry. ”
Listening to Feng Wan's coaxing child's tone, the fourth princess couldn't help but laugh out loud with tears.
This**and**between, once it gets better, it will soon be like glue, and the two girls got together, and after talking and laughing intimately for a while. Feng Wan sighed, frowned and said, "I've been out for so long now, I don't know if the master will think about it?" ”
She said with a bitter face: "The rumors in the world are really terrifying, and there are always people who pull me and General Wei together. I'm really worried that my husband will believe these rumors. She said this to pave the way for the future. In case Princess Feng Yun said something, the fourth princess was also woken up here.
Hearing her say this, the little suspicion that the fourth princess had also dissipated most of it. She nodded, "Then you can go back." ”
Facing Feng Wan, who was surprised, the fourth princess pursed her lips and smiled: "Fifth Highness, I will tell him." ”
Feng Wan hurriedly thanked her, and the two girls talked intimately again, and Feng Wan retreated.
The fourth princess stood up, she watched Feng Wan's back leave, tilted her head, and didn't move her eyes for a long time.
Feng Wan left the Wei Mansion.
As soon as the carriage left the house, she stretched out her sleeve to wipe her sweat and let out a long breath.
This level is over for the time being. It's just that if the fourth princess sees something next time, I'm afraid that the revenge will come quite violently!
But so what? She can help herself, but can she help Wei Ziyang?
Thinking of Wei Ziyang, Feng Wan fell silent. I don't know when she started, when she got along with him, she had something more, that kind of thing, even in her previous life, when she and Zhao Jun were the most affectionate. Perhaps, it is because she and Zhao Jun have always been husband and wife, that is, love, and love first.
It can't be compared with the feeling that Wei Ziyang brought to himself.
But even so, what qualifications does she have to think about it? In the previous life, she exhausted all her mental strength for Zhao Jun, and in this life, she still doesn't know if she has the ability to pay, and once again she believes in a man with all her heart.
Yes, the world says that Wei Ziyang attaches great importance to affection, but since ancient times, men have valued affection and righteousness, and valuing ** are two different things. Back then, Liu Bei said that he valued love and righteousness all over the world, but he abandoned his wife and children, didn't he do it very smoothly?
After thinking for a while, Feng Wan smiled bitterly, and didn't look at what he looked like, he was really so cranky.
At this time, it was already noon, and Feng Wan didn't want to go back to Zhao's mansion, so he said to the driver: "Go to Zhouzhuang in the western suburbs." ”
"Yes." The driver replied extraordinarily, every time he went to Zhouzhuang in the western suburbs, he could eat a full stomach, and in this hungry and cold season, that was his greatest joy.
A few days ago, the other husband and the steward were still pestering him to ask, they didn't understand, they couldn't eat enough all day long, and one by one he was getting more and more yellow and thin, why was he red and energetic?
When the carriage came to Zhouzhuang, he happened to see Uncle Zeng's face full of joy, rubbing his hands and hurrying out. Seeing him walking with his head down, and not noticing himself, the rider called, "Uncle." ”
Uncle Zeng raised his head.
Seeing that it was Feng Wan's carriage, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed forward and grinned: "Girl, the old slave is about to look for you." ”
Looking for me?
Feng Wan met his face full of joy, and this kind of joy that could not be concealed made Feng Wan's heart moved.
She jumped out of the carriage and didn't ask, just smiled and walked towards Zhouzhuang. It seems that he is not in a hurry to ask about Uncle Zeng looking for himself.
It wasn't until the two of them entered the house that Uncle Zeng closed the door that Feng Wan turned around.
Before she could speak, Uncle Zeng said happily: "Girl, there is really gold in there." His voice trembled with joy, "It is gold, forty pounds of gold." ”
Uncle Zeng raised his head and looked at Feng Wan, and said ecstatically: "Girl, now that you have money, you are not afraid of anywhere." ”
Am I rich?
Don't be afraid of where to go?
Feng Wan raised her head, and like Uncle Zeng, her lips trembled with joy. is different from Uncle Zeng, who has never seen much of the world, she knows that her little money is a drop in the bucket in the eyes of rich people. What I get is just to ensure that I don't have to worry about food and clothing over the years.
But this is already very remarkable, in the future, no matter how the situation changes, whether she can stay in the capital or not, at least, she doesn't have to worry about two meals a day.
Lowering his eyes, Feng Wan whispered, "Where to put it?" I'll take a look. ”
"Okay, okay."
Uncle Zeng led Feng Wan as he walked forward, and said, "The world says that gold is insoluble, and the old slave also ordered Xiu'er to bring all the blacksmith's stoves. ”
He led Feng Wan to an extremely dark place, through the alley, and into a firewood house. He lifted a piece of floor in the corner and jumped into the hole.
Standing in a one-person deep hole, Uncle Zeng whispered: "This is dug by the old slave for a while." Girl, you don't have to come down, the old slave brought the gold and stone. ”
After a while, a large piece of square, stone-like gold appeared in front of Feng Wan.
With just one glance, she was so burned that she couldn't open her eyes. Turning his head sideways, Feng Wan hugged his hands and said with a smile: "It's really heavy." ”
Handing over the gold stone to Uncle Zeng, Feng Wan said, "Uncle, don't bury this thing with the previous one, just dig a hole in the corner below here and bury it." She reached out and pointed to a corner.
Uncle Zeng simply replied and buried the gold with it.
This time, the master and servant still had a full stomach before leaving to go back to Zhao's mansion.
As soon as he came to the gate of Zhao's mansion, a carriage drove out. In the wide open curtain, Zhao Jun's distant uncle was looking this way.
Looking at each other, he waved his right hand and ordered, "Woman, come here." ”
Feng Wan answered, and ordered the carriage to approach him.
After the two carriages leaned together, the middle-aged military general looked Feng Wan up and down. Then, he frowned and said softly, "Ah Wan, the old man heard Jun'er mention you." ”
Feng Wan replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”
"I think this child of yours is a good one, with bright eyes, fleshy cheeks, and a full chin, and he is not a heartless and unrighteous woman. Why did you get into trouble like this with Jun'er? ”
This was the earnest persuasion of an elder, and Feng Wan could only listen with his eyes down.
The middle-aged military general said again: "You don't think Jun'er is promising? ”
Feng Wan hurriedly shook his head and said hurriedly: "No, it's not." ”
"That's good." The middle-aged military general sighed and said, "I heard those concubines say that you are also a good businessman?" But how can you be willful? You see your yard, there are a few floods, and the broken walls are everywhere, and the houses that have collapsed have not been cleared. I heard Jun'er say, you don't have any money now? Hey, the eldest husband is running outside, and the business in this house relies on women, why don't you take care of it? Looking at a good home so tattered, do you really feel guilty? ”
Feng Wan shook his head and said, "I, I'm not good at business. She said bitterly: "This capital city is different from Yuancheng, and the concubines can't find anything feasible every day." Not long ago, the concubine also ran a few grain shops, but all the grain was requisitioned by the court, and she lost all her money. ”
She said sincerely, and the middle-aged military general listened to it for a while, but he also believed it. He nodded and said, "That's it, I have another person under him who is good at business, and I will call him to come over and help Jun'er another day." ”
Speaking of this, he stared at Feng Wan and said, "According to the old man, Jun'er is still interested in you, you should reflect on it after you go back, and don't spoil the kindness of husband and wife because of a momentary anger." Do you understand? ”
"Understood."
"It's good to understand, you can go home."
"Uncle go first." Feng Wan squatted respectfully, and it wasn't until the middle-aged military general left that she ordered her husband to drive into the Zhao Mansion.
