Chapter 296: Race against time to go to danger, compete for points and advise
Although the battle for the position of Xiliang is very fierce, it has little to do with the three princes at the moment, and what he is worried about is not this, but his own marriage.
Halloween is two months later, but the girl is still like an iron wall, indestructible, if he leaves like this, when Yu Feng returns, he will take advantage of such a period of time, and strike first......
I have to find a way to take advantage of Yu Feng's absence to win the hearts of the beauties.
It's really imminent, the third prince thought worriedly.
can't help pinching his fingers, speculating on Yu Feng's return date, it is inevitable to be "worried" - I don't know if that person has arrived in Xiangzhou now?
Yu Feng is fashionable and still in Jingzhou "recuperation", all the way, not in a hurry, and by the middle of October, has arrived in Jingzhou Guanyi, away from Xiangzhou, if at this speed, there is still half a month to travel, therefore, he is fashionable and safe.
"Recuperation" is, of course, to wait for the ashes to come back to life.
At this time, he sat under the window, leaning on a circle chair, and was playing with a white mutton fat magnolia hairpin in his hand, which was not complicated carving, but it was fine everywhere, and the fat jade was of excellent texture.
The weather has become colder and colder, Jingzhou is the cold rain season, the guest room has been placed in the charcoal basin, but the official post is not prepared with good silver carbon, so the smoke is very choking, so even if the weather is cold, Yu Feng can only endure the coolness outside the window, so that the room is ventilated.
The hairpin is a ceremony prepared by him for Yijing, and the jade material was purchased from a merchant many years ago due to a coincidence, and has been kept at hand, never carved, until she reunited with Yijing, when she knew that her mind had been decided, she carefully prepared for the ceremony.
He remembered that she liked magnolias, and even the fragrance on her clothes was scented with magnolias.
Northern Confucian Wei Wangyong is not only good tea, but also has a unique experience of tea-making skills, so that the tea roasted by his own hands is rare for scribes and elegant guests, in addition, Mr. Wei will also be a hand out of the carving process, and often carve the jade when he is idle, but it is not like the tea-making technique is widely spread, but Mr. Wei's carving art is rarely known to the world.
Yu Feng is not only a disciple of Mr. Wei, but also has learned some of the skills that Mr. Wei is good at.
This hosta is carved by his own hands, from the Mid-Autumn Festival of the old year, intermittently, after more than a year, there is the appearance in front of him.
It was to go to the state, although everything was entangled, and he never left this hosta, but he had idleness, so he started carving.
It wasn't completed until he left the state, but after all, he hesitated and didn't give it away when he said goodbye.
He thought that if he could return safely, he would personally pull her hair and wear a hairpin.
If not......
Why let her see things and think about people, and be sad for a long time.
After all, he sighed lightly, put the hairpin into the bag, and hid it in his close-fitting chest.
At this time, there were eleven days left before her ceremony.
I only heard a soft sound of "bang", and the clear sky pushed the door in a hurry, and just stood firm in the house, before shouting "Shizi", followed by another person, a black dress full of cold, because it was backlight, so that Yu Feng dazzled, almost thought that this person's face was covered with a layer of black veil, blocking the facial features unknown.
After more than 20 days, Gray Du was so black and thin that he almost lost his human form.
Yu Feng didn't expect him to return at this time, counting the time, thinking that he would have to wait for more than ten days.
Although it is more convenient than Haohao and his party to travel by car, Gray Du rushed from Shanxi to Hunan in just over 20 days, and returned to Jingzhou from Hunan, plus he had to spend some time secretly investigating the epidemic......
Yu Feng smiled bitterly: "Du, you're just afraid that you haven't even slept these days, right?" ”
Gray Du strode forward, but knelt on one knee: "Shizi, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission, and they have found out that the epidemic in Xiangzhou was originally a fictitious place, although a quarantine area has been set up, but all the people inside are military households!" has been ordered by the prince to let the twenty Yu Linwei go to Xiangzhou first, but as soon as they entered Xiangzhou, they were welcomed to the Dusi Mansion by Yuan Dusi, and they never saw anyone again. ”
Yu Feng: ...... This guy even went back to Xiangzhou from Tanzhou, and then rushed back to Hubei, no wonder he became like this.
"Shizi, Xiangzhou is lying about the epidemic and putting Yu Linwei under house arrest, there must be an ulterior conspiracy, and the prince must not go!"
First, the state concealed the epidemic, but Xiangzhou lied about the epidemic, and even people like Gray Du, who were not good at planning, also noticed the deceit.
Xiangzhou is not as good as the state, and Kyoto is thousands of miles away, even if the book is fast, the road has to be delayed for at least half a month, and the communication cannot be guaranteed to be timely.
Although he had expected it, he knew that it was expected, and Yu Feng's heart was still a little heavy.
Leaned over and helped Ash Du up, and only instructed the suspicious Clear Sky: "Take Ash Du to wash first, change into dry clothes, and prepare some food." ”
"Shizi, please return to Kyoto immediately!" Although the gray people were helped up, they still held their fists.
Yu Feng had no choice but to say: "I have a sense of proportion, this matter is not as simple as you think, you go and recuperate, I have other important arrangements later." In this way, he first persuaded Gray Du, Yu Feng turned to the bookcase, groaned slightly, and wrote the book.
When I wrote the words "I see the letter and am well", the corners of my lips involuntarily stretched.
The wrist hung lightly for a few breaths, and then he wrote eloquently, but it was not written, lovesick.
The text message book is completed, and the envelope is painted.
When he took a hot bath in the hot water, changed into a dry robe, filled his stomach, and immediately returned to the guest house, he saw that Qingtian had already commanded a team of Yulinwei to drive a car and horses, and he was about to set off immediately, and his heart was very flustered, of course he would not think that the prince would change his mind just by relying on the two words of persuasion just now, this was obviously to set off for Xiangzhou.
Throwing off the pace and running up the stairs, he didn't care about the etiquette, and pushed the door open.
Without waiting for Ash Du to speak, Yu Feng had already said in a deep voice: "Du, Jin Rongzhong is going to rebel." ”
"Shizi!"
"If I don't go to Xiangzhou, Hunan, Hubei and Zhili Prefectures will all be drawn into this war." Yu Feng raised his hand at the gray crossing: "Come here, listen to me." ”
Sure enough, the arrangements were carefully explained before handing over the secret letter to Gray Du: "Return to Beijing immediately, hand over the letter to Wu Niang of the Guogong Mansion, remember, you must hand over the letter to Wu Niang by hand, and you can't transfer it to others." ”
"But the prince ......"
"I know what you're worried about, but the current situation is critical, whether I can return to Beijing safely depends on whether the actions of Wei Guogong and my father go well, in order not to startle the snake, you can't go back to the palace for the time being, so I asked you to hand over the letter to Wu Niang, the people in the Guogong Mansion are more credible than their own family at the moment." Seeing that Gray Du was still hesitating, Yu Feng lowered his tone again: "Gray Du, my current safety can only be entrusted to you, if you are not careful, you will lose everything." ”
With these words, Ash Du didn't dare to insist anymore, even if the man didn't dust it lightly when he had tears, but when he kowtowed a few times, there was a dark red circle in the corner of his eyes: "The son, his subordinates will not disgrace their mission." "Resolutely go.
Sending away the gray crossing, Yu Feng no longer "recuperates", got into the carriage, and ordered to move forward at full speed.
Now, it's time for every second to count.
I don't know what is the situation in Jinyang Jingzhong thousands of miles away?
——
Unlike the continuous freezing rain in Jingzhou, the sky is still sunny in the early winter of Jinyangjing.
But the north wind is a little strong, and the fallen leaves on the street are already thin, not as golden as in late autumn.
The Winter Clothes Festival passed early, and the pedestrians on the road had already put on jackets, and the nobles were even more clothed.
Xu is only on Yihong Street, the flower girl who leans on the building and sells a smile, is still thinly dressed and maintains a graceful posture.
Yihong Street in the afternoon is far less lively than the evening ushering, although there is the sound of silk strings, but it seems to come from the clouds far away.
Du Yuniang helped the maid's hand to step on the car, and the old bustard still stepped on small steps, dancing with a scarlet silk handkerchief and reminding: "Girl, you have to pay attention for some hours, you have a distinguished guest tonight, don't delay." ”
The maid woman had already gotten into the car, kneeling and leaning out of her body: "Mom, don't worry, when did the girl miss you." ”
This handmaiden, of course, is still Du Yuniang's handmaiden.
Even if the eldest princess takes care of the overall situation, she refuses to let Yijing set off from the brothel with Du Yuniang.
This green oil car drove out of Yihong Street, took Zhuque Avenue, turned into Qingpingfang, there is a cloud sideburns building in it, and it is very famous in Jinyang City.
As the name suggests, this is a place to comb hair and makeup, and the guests are naturally not noble ladies - not to mention the high-ranking families at the moment, even the Shangjia family, there will be no shortage of maids around the ladies to comb their hair and makeup, and there is no need to invite people outside, let alone come to the door in person. This cloud sideburns building is also a place to provide supporting services for flower girls.
Usually, the shop is deserted, but the girls in Fireworks Lane will send people to invite them if they are in need.
When no one will notice the strangeness of this cloud temple.
This is another point of contact for the Five Righteous Alliance.
Therefore, Du Yuniang came back this time, the makeup was fake, and the "bag adjustment" was real.
Not long after, the "maidservant" who came out with Du Yuniang was still wearing a bright red dress and blue skirt, but her appearance was very different.
In the carriage, Du Yuniang hurriedly draped one of her clothes on Yijing: "The maids of Qianrao Pavilion are all dressed like this, they are fine in the house, they came out and were stirred by the wind, but they were so cold that they couldn't stand it, Wu Niang was patient." ”
Yi Jing drank into the palm of his hand, and it was only such a short moment, the flush on his cheeks had turned pale, but his mouth was very stubborn: "It's okay." But he hugged the big on his body, and couldn't help but "hiss" lightly.
Du Yuniang said with a smile: "Wu Niangjing's eyebrows are so charming, even the slave family can't see what it used to be." I couldn't help but exclaim: "In this way, the king of Yangquan County is afraid that he can't recognize Wu Niang, right?" ”
"Don't talk about heavy makeup, even if I'm plain-faced, I'm afraid the king won't remember me." Yi Jing trembled the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly: "I have been prepared for a long time, and I will let the county king believe in my identity." ”
Because of the embarrassment of his identity, the king of Yangquan County often attends the aristocratic banquets, that is, he has the opportunity to meet with Yijing at the palace banquet, which time is not a vast group of people, and because of the difference between men and women, the seats are separated, even if there is the opportunity to meet, it is far away, and there should be no reflection of Yijing.
While speaking, it was already at the Yangquan Palace, the carriage stopped steadily, Yi Jing first except for the clothes, really did her duty as a "maidservant", dressed Du Yuniang, got off the car first, and helped on the side, when she saw a little girl wearing a stone blue jacket coming out of the porter, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and smiled: "There is a little brother Lao who is the king of the county, and the girl Du Yu of Qianrao Pavilion came to ask to see." ”
After speaking, he handed over a bag of copper coins very well understood.
Du Yuniang nodded secretly - it was the posture of a servant.
The little guy should hear that it is Du Yuniang of Qianrao Pavilion, and he also knows that he is the "bosom friend" of the county king, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he invited someone to go to the flower hall to serve tea, and explained the entrance of the message.
But not long after, a maid with thin eyebrows and big eyes came, her expression was a little rampant, her eyes flickered towards Yijing's eyebrows, and she stared at Du Yuniang's face with a bright eye.
"What a bold prostitute/prostitute, he dares to come to the palace to show his eyes!"
The intention is quite unkind!
King Yangquan not only has not a princess of the county, but also a side concubine, and there is no hostess in the palace, who is this maid fighting for?
Yijing thinks that it should be the green apple girl.
As soon as the king of Yangquan County was fashionable and didn't know if he heard the news, Green Apple had already learned of the news and sent a maid over to humiliate her face, which seemed to show that this girl was deaf and clear-sighted.
In such a short period of time, he can call the wind and rain in the palace, of course, not because he is favored.
It seems that it should be the eyes and ears of the golden phase.
So the king of Yangquan can only indulge.
But Miss Green Apple's behavior seems to be suspected of "fake public benefit", and the task given to her by Jin Xiang should not include stopping the female guests.
Yijing sneered, it seems that Green Apple is another girl who is indiscriminate and bullying.
Such a demeanor is like that of the gentle and pitiful woman who was talented and beautiful that day, and the king of Yangquan County, who is quite a scribe and elegant, I am afraid that it is time to regret accepting such a fierce woman.
The corner of Yijing's eyes squinted, and seeing that Du Yuniang seemed to be deaf, she only glanced at the maid with a smile and turned her eyes away.
She didn't say a word, and watched how the maid would play next.
But it's a pity that the situation was suddenly relieved, but a grandmother with gray temples and a straight waist came in time.
"Mama Du, Miss Green Ping said, such a cheap maid, don't let her tarnish the reputation of the county king."
Mama Du didn't look at the maid, and walked straight in, only bowing slightly at Du Yuniang: "The king of the county invites the girl in." ”
Yijing followed closely behind Du Yuniang, and just stepped into the corridor, she still heard a certain maid who was continuously ignored stomping her feet fiercely-
"You wait, you will not be pleased."
