Tai Chi Temple
The door of the six vermilion halls is wide open, the sunlight shines into the inner hall, on the flat red carpet, pull out a long oblique frame shadow, on the main hall with high screens and wide walls, in addition to the echoing human voice echoes, the quiet is difficult to find noise, the hundred officials, civil and military officers divide the left and right, bow and stand, each holding an ivory wat in their hands, waiting to listen to the notes.
On the dragon chair, the emperor is sitting alone, wearing a black robe, one hand on the case, the other hand on the knee, looking at the audience, and after the person who played the echo in His Royal Highness finished speaking, he spoke out and returned to the public.
At this time, the golden bell ringing outside the hall, it is the time of the passing day, hearing this sound, most of the officials in the column look relaxed, the bell rings down, the hall rings the shrill voice of the inner official, the ministers bow down and bow, do not dare to look up, after a long time, hear the small yellow door outside the hall to speak, only to straighten up the waist, among them last night have gone to the King of Wei to receive the wind banquet, after a night of drinking, there is a hurry to go back to the house to change clothes in the early morning, and rushed to the court, stayed up all night, so look around, the palace of hundreds of officials, there are a lot of people who are secretly supporting their waists and twisting their necks.
"Your Highness," Du Chuke took the ivory wat and followed Li Tai when he turned from the front row to the palace gate and passed by him, Li Tai glanced at him and walked slowly.
"I have prepared a document and want to go to see the emperor now." When he was in front of people, Du Chuke didn't apologize and call himself in private, after all, no matter how he said it, he was holding the position of a third-grade Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but he was not Li Tai's retainer.
"What an excerpt." Lee Tae-do.
Du Chuke smiled and replied in a low voice: "You forgot, you just said two days ago that you had married Miss Dongfang." ”
Said yes, but Li Tai didn't admit anything, when Du Chuke said this, although he was weak-hearted, he was not worried, he waited for Li Tai to react, and thought of countermeasures early, in short, he was iron-hearted, and he must do it today
"Let's go."
Du Chuke never expected Li Tai to be so "cooperative", so he stopped and was stunned in place for a while, and hurriedly chased after him, the joy on his face became stronger, and he was in a good mood, so he said:
"I've thought about it, this marriage has to have a sequence, after all, Miss Dongfang was pointed out first, after she passed the door, wait for a while, and Miss Nalu is not in a hurry."
was accused of being the first and second, the key is that the face of the Dongfang family should be given to the whole, although after last night, he also saw that Li Tai was more fond of that Miss Lu, and with the performance of the Yu at the banquet, he was not as resistant to this marriage as before, but he didn't think that the weight of the Yu would be heavier than that of the Oriental Pearl, even if she used a way to invite Princess Pingyang to help Li Tai return to Beijing to revive his momentum, but in the end, Pingyang still couldn't hold the sword in his hand.
Li Tai didn't say more, followed by him, one after the other went to wait under a pine tree outside the side hall, every day after the court meeting, there are small yellow doors waiting nearby, see someone coming, will go to the imperial study to pass the word, see or not, or the emperor has the final say.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Lord Du, the emperor will allow you to see you."
"Miss Lu, our young lady went out early in the morning, and she is not in the house at this time." Outside the door of Cheng's house, the porter heard that the jade was coming to find his own lady, and he didn't pass it on, it seems that this little guy was bought into the house in the past two years when the jade was not there, and he didn't recognize it, and he didn't recognize it, and two years ago, the jade came to Cheng's house, and he was usually directly invited in.
"But tell me, where has she gone?" Counting up, Cheng Xiaofeng has been studying in Guozi for four years last year, so he doesn't need to go to school anymore.
"This-" The subordinates of the big portal were tight-mouthed, and generally did not dare to easily reveal the whereabouts of their masters.
Yi Yu didn't want him to be embarrassed, so he turned to say, "Is Mrs. Cheng here, please help me pass it through." ”
The little girl scratched his head and said, "Madame is not here either." ”
That's not easy to do, Cheng Biting Jin must not have gone down to the court yet, it was she who picked it out at the wrong time, "Then I'll leave a post, wait for your lady and miss to come back, and help me pass it on, just say that the second lady of the Lu family is visiting, and I will come back tomorrow." ”
"Good, good." The little girl replied repeatedly, only to feel that the young lady in front of her was beautiful and spoke kindly, not at all like the other young ladies who came to the door, so she watched her until she got in the car and left, and then turned around and entered the house with some joy, but when she turned her face, she almost ran into a person head-on.
"Young, young master."
"Hmm."
"Young master, a young lady just came to visit."
"If anyone comes looking for me, don't pay attention to it."
"No, no, the one just now came to find Madame and Miss."
"It's really getting more and more unusual, I can think of any name."
"Young master, don't be angry, that Miss Lu looks at it, it's not the same as the young ladies she usually finds, she-"
"What Miss?"
"Yes, it's the second lady of the Lu family, I don't recognize the little one, young master, you-"
"What about people!?"
"Ah, oh, I'm going over there, just left—young master, slow down and get on the horse!"
"Driving"
"Yu Tong, when you arrive in the Eastern Metropolis, first find a ready-to-wear shop and stop." Yu Yu knocked on the wall of the car and said to the driver who was driving outside.
The coachman's name is Yu Tong, nearly twenty years old, before the Yu left Beijing, he worked in the Puzhen Garden in Longquan Town, and was one of the first people to buy into the mansion after Lu Zhi built the garden.
"Yes, miss." Yu Tong replied loudly outside, and his spirit was full.
There is still a distance from the Eastern Metropolis, Yi Yu closed her eyes and leaned against the wall of the car to think about things, and was thinking about how to speak when she went to Kuixing Tower to visit the owner of Nachu Building, but the steady carriage suddenly stopped, if it weren't for her hands and feet to quickly support the tea case, she almost fell down.
"You're a man—hey, what are you doing?"
Yu Tong's surprise sounded outside the car, and then the curtain was torn open from the outside, and Yu Yu looked sideways, and saw a strange young man at the door of the car leaning into the car, wearing a blue satin robe, with a strong figure, uncrowned hair, slightly dark skin, and his facial features were not handsome, but he was tough.
I haven't seen it, Yi Yu said in his heart, so he asked out loud first, "Why did this son stop my carriage?" ”
"Xiao, Xiaoyu, you are Xiaoyu-it's me, I'm Xiaohu" Cheng Xiaohu carefully searched around the face of the remnant jade, then found the traces of the year, recognized the person, and immediately grinned in surprise with two rows of white teeth.
Yi Yu never thought that this tall black man would be Cheng Xiaofat, who was round and white that day, and he didn't deliberately hide his surprise, but he showed it on his face, and stretched out his hand to point at him with a smile and said:
"Xiaohuha, why are you?"
Surprised, can not stand in the middle of the road to reminisce, outside is already because of this movement, surrounded by a lot of people watching the excitement, the two of them set up a tavern in front of them to meet, one on horseback, one on a car.
There were not many guests in the tavern, so Yi Yu and Cheng Xiaohu sat down in the corner, ordered a pot of spring brew, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of sauce meat, and asked each other about the past two years.
chatted a little more, including when she came back, where she has been in the past two years, the health of the two elders of the Cheng family is good, and the jade is from Cheng Xiaohu's mouth, Cheng Xiaofeng went to the eastern suburbs of the horse farm with the same person in the morning, and Mrs. Cheng went to Beppu to visit her relatives who had recovered.
"Why don't I take you to the eastern suburbs to find my eldest sister?" Cheng Xiaohu proposed.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter," Yi Yu shook his head, "I'll visit again tomorrow, but it's you, why didn't you go to school today." ”
Cheng Xiaohu and he entered the school for one year, and he still needs to go to school for another year this year, and by the end of the year, he will only complete the four-year period and pass the graduation exam, so he doesn't need to go again.
"Hehe," Cheng Xiaohu smiled embarrassedly, "I skipped school," and didn't forget to remind her, "Ming ** came to my house, but don't say it, don't let my mother know." ”
Cheng Xiaohu is one year older than Yi Yu, and this year should be sixteen, a young man of this age, it is the time to be playful, Yi Yu smiled and squeezed his eyes at him, and said:
"Don't worry, I'll treat it as if we haven't seen each other today."
Her face is tender and white, her eyebrows and eyes are trimmed, and her smile is particularly charming and lovely, Cheng Xiaohu stared at her for a moment, her heart seemed to have been grabbed by something, her face was a little red, and she couldn't see it because of her dark face, but she stammered a little when she spoke:
"Oh, thanks, thanks."
Yi Yu felt that he was a little strange, but because she was bumped into and truant, she didn't care, raised the wine glass and took a sip, she used to pour a glass, but now it's not much better, just carry a hangover pill with her, and it's no problem to drink two glasses.
They chatted for a while, and before they knew it, it was almost noon, and Yu Yu still had something to do, so they refused his invitation to lunch, and the two said goodbye in front of the tavern, saying that they would talk about it another day.
Kuixing Tower
Water agarwood, jade qin shake, green gauze tent stacked several times, cover the window bar and do not see the sun, the outside is bright * light, but the interior is quiet candle shaking, general Chen, two scenes.
The low and screeching sound of "Zheng" stopped after a screeching sound of indiscriminate plucking, and a grumbling was heard:
"If you don't play, your fingers are stiff, you don't even say a good word, but people are asked by you to play the piano early in the morning, specially bathe in incense, and change into new clothes. The population of this Eastern Metropolis, which one can get such treatment as me, fortunately, I can't stop reading a few broken books. ”
The sound of the bamboo slips rolling "click, click" became obvious after the sound of the piano fell, and after a low laugh, the slightly rough male voice echoed in the somewhat empty room.
"When I got up this morning, I suddenly found that this room was a little deserted, so I called you to accompany you, if you feel bored, you can go busily."
Hearing this, the woman holding the piano next to the silver candlestick instantly softened her temper, lightly buttoned the strings twice, and her tone softened:
"Okay, what else do you want to hear, I'll play it to you."
Before the male voice could sound again, there was a tinkling bell in the room, followed by a female voice from nowhere:
"The landlord, someone is asking to see her, it's the young lady of the Lu family."
The words were repeated again, and the bell rang again, and then there was no sound, and the piano was gently put down, and the woman stood up, swept the hair from her ears, glanced at the black shadow opposite, and chuckled and deliberately twisted her snake-like waist out of front of him.
