Chapter 137 [Goodbye to the Old Man]
Ye Jun should be in a hurry, but this reckless man is not in a hurry, he sat there, no matter how she asked, he didn't make a sound. Look at Hua Gu again, Zao Yi has regained his calm appearance, and he didn't say a word. The more calm they were and didn't say a word, thinking about what King Rui said to her in the underground palace, the more sure she was that something had happened to Xu Ziqian!
After a while, Ye Junyi also calmed down, didn't ask any more questions, and let Lou Zhengming command Yu Laohan to drive the car away, and she also sat in the car like an old monk and didn't say a word.
Seeing that the ox cart was about to leave the city, Ye Junyi was a little worried: "This herb hasn't been handed over yet, this is already the wages of the farmers, and the herbs have not been handed over, where will the next batch of herbs go to get the money to pay the farmers?" β
Hua Gu thought about it, so she looked at Lou Zhengming with her eyes, and Lou Zhengming also knew that they all relied on this herb for a living, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then, that, let's go and hand over the herb first." Later, Mrs. sat in the car and didn't move, and I just went to hand over the flower girl. β
Ye Junyi nodded in agreement. So Yu Laohan drove back to the city and stopped in front of a crude medicine shop. Hua Gu and Yu Laohan took the herbs to the crude medicine shop, leaving only Ye Junyi and Lou Zhengming in the car.
Seeing Hua Gu and Yu Laohan enter the shop with medicinal herbs, Ye Junyi secretly glanced at Lou Zhengming, only to see him sitting up straight, looking ahead without squinting.
"Zhengming," Ye Junyi tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "I'll go to the shop and go to the thatched house." β
Lou Zhengming's face turned red, and his neck stretched out towards the medicine store. As soon as Ye Junyi saw him like that, he knew that he was waiting for Hua Gu to come out, so he smiled and said, "I just went to the shop and borrowed their thatched house for a while, and I won't go too far." β
As he spoke, he jumped out of the ox cart. Lou Zhengming opened his mouth, blushing but didn't say anything, just stared at Ye Junyi and followed Hua Gu into the shop.
As soon as Ye Junyi entered the shop, he saw that Hua Gu was negotiating something with a shopkeeper-like person, and Yu Lao Han had medicinal herbs at his feet, and his eyes kept looking at Hua Gu. In the other corner of the shop, there is a corner door with a curtain hung, which presumably leads to the back of the shop. Ye Junyi shrank his head, walked over quietly, lifted the curtain, and walked over.
Behind the curtain was a large room, full of all kinds of herbs, and several men were busy fiddling with them, until they passed through, and there was another open door, from which from time to time men came in and out. Ye Junyi walked straight out from there, and there was a hall outside, and outside the hall was a large courtyard dam, with a lot of herbs drying. She quickened her steps at this time, walked through the courtyard, jumped over the courtyard wall, and landed in an alley, and several passers-by saw her jump out of the courtyard, and they all looked at her strangely, but she couldn't care so much, and hurriedly picked a secluded narrow alley to walk through.
She didn't know how long she ran in these alleys, until she saw that Lou Zhengming and Hua Gu behind her did not chase after her, so she breathed a sigh of relief, got out of the alley, and walked onto a street. Obviously, she is a way-seeker, and she looks at the twists and turns of the street with worry.
Suddenly, all the people on the street quickened their pace and ran in one direction, and in a moment, there were only a few sparse people left on the street, and as they ran, these people were chattering about something. Ye Junyi vaguely heard as if he was talking about a rare beauty, an adult or something.
She grabbed a half-grown child who had run behind and asked, "Little brother, what are you running?" β
"Oh," the child saw a country woman, very impatiently broke free, and said anxiously, "You go and see, the newly sealed Qin Tianjian of the imperial court is a stunning beauty with blue eyes, and now you have to go over there, everyone should go to a wall as soon as possible." You're about to let go of me, don't let me miss it. β
A beautiful woman with blue eyes? When Ye Junyi heard this, he didn't know where he had gone for a long time, and he didn't listen to a word of what the child said later. A person was stunned there for a long time, Fang came back to his senses, covered his face with his bandana, and ran over with the group.
"Wow, women can also be high-ranking officials........."
"Oh, it's really beautiful, come and see!"
"I'm afraid it's a nonsense..........
.........
People crowded on both sides of the street, their necks stretched out to look to the side, and they were chattering. Ye Junyi squeezed through the crowd, and people were stunned - a woman in a vermilion official uniform and an official coat on her head rode a tall horse with a group of entourages and was passing by her. Under the wide official uniform, the woman's delicate curves make people reverie, with fair skin, a tall nose, and blue eyes, who is this Bai Yiyi?
Ye Junyi sneered, and now he didn't have to worry about finding the way out. A woman next to her was excitedly following the person next to her: "This Lord Bai used to be Daochang Li's protΓ©gΓ©." β
"Daochang Li? Is it the Taoist chief that the deceased Empress Chen relied on at the time and place? β
"Isn't it," said the woman proudly, "I heard that when Daochang Li was here, he often took her with him to preach and preach everywhere, but at that time she was wearing a veil, and no one had seen her true face. Later, after the death of this Li Daochang, she also held an official position in Qintianjian. β
A man on the side said unnaturally: "Aunt Li, you can know these things from a woman's family, but these words are made up from there, and they are used to bluff people." β
"Hmph," Aunt Li said, "I just know that in the past, I was also a celebrity around the old man Li Daochang, if not, if it wasn't .........."
"Poof, what if it's not?" A person next to him sneered again, "The celebrity next to the old man Li Daochang? How did you get to the point of fortune telling on the street and selling tofu? β
"Humph!" Aunt Li snorted from her nostrils and said, "It's not this damn Bai Daren's dead man, first of all, he said that he is much more powerful than his master Li Daochang, he can go to heaven and earth, and live forever, but the court found out that he was a big liar who cheated money and sex, and I was a good talent, but I was affected by him, not to mention the glory of the past, even the head of Xiang Shangshang was almost lost by him..........
Ye Junyi wanted to listen to Aunt Li's detailed conversation, but Bai Yiyi and her party gradually moved away, she didn't dare to stay anymore, and hurriedly rushed up. Bai Yiyi and his party didn't walk fast, but Ye Junyi didn't have a hard time following, and after walking for one or two teas, he saw that when they arrived at the place, Bai Yiyi got off the horse and walked into a tall vermilion gate.
Ye Junyi can't enter this gate, besides, what should she say when she goes in to see Bai Yiyi like this? She really didn't know yet. So, she had to walk around outside the official office. Ye Junyi was at a loss in her heart, she walked around the door several times, and the guards by the door stared straight at her, as if she was a villain with some intentions. She had no choice but to wander aimlessly around the courtyard wall of the government office.
This official office is huge, Ye Junyi unknowingly, he actually walked into a secluded alley, the alley is planted with rows of ancient trees, and the courtyard wall of the official office is full of creepers, which actually covers the narrow alley dark and damp.
Ye Junyi thought that he was alone, and in this not very peaceful world, he actually felt a little frightened in his heart, and quickly turned around and prepared to go back. At this moment, the sound of the carriage was heard from far and near in the depths of the alley, the alley was not very wide, and she hurriedly leaned close to a big tree, ready to let the carriage pass.
Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped two or three feet away from her, this carriage is an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, even a slightly wealthy family should be able to own it, but this carriage is parked in such an alley, where the owner wants to go, but Ye Junyi is a little curious, she can't help but adjust her body, hide behind the tree more hidden, stretch out half of her head and look over.
It's okay not to look at it, but it scared her a lot - the handsome boy who got out of the car, dressed in a Confucian shirt and holding a folding fan, was not King Rui, who was it?
