Volume 1 A Change of Drums: Flowers Bloom on Mo, Two Lovesickness Chapter 35 A Trip to Haozhou
It's just that Lord He hasn't figured out how to explicitly hint at Qi Zhengxiu, but the emperor sent him an errand. The emperor had a dream of a dragon diving under the sea at night, and the dream interpretation of the master was a good omen, in order to be grateful to heaven and earth, he was ready to build a Longen Temple to help the world. The scope demarcated by the phase master was the area of Haozhou, and the emperor ordered the prince to take people to Haozhou to select a site for surveying and preparing to build a temple.
The prince's line is vast, in addition to taking Qi Zhengxiu, there is also He Zhixun, the son of the He family, and the three horsemen commanding about 2,000 men and horses, ready to set off for Haozhou on a certain day.
Lord He couldn't help but be anxious when he heard the news, first, his son had to travel for a few months and not see him, and second, as soon as Qi Zhengxiu left, Zhitang's marriage was not explained, did this make her wait or not? He Zhixun understood his father's thoughts, and he was also anxious, but as a woman, even if he was familiar with this matter, he was embarrassed to ask, but he was afraid that he would degrade his identity in a hurry.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Since the prince has protected the media, it shouldn't be wrong." But you can't open your mouth, and once you open your mouth, it's rude and disrespectful. It's not as good as this, anyway, this trip is to choose a site to build a temple, not an urgent military business, and the road is also leisurely, so I might as well take Zhitang with me, hinting at Qi Zhengxiu. "Choosing a site to build a temple is a relaxing beauty, and the prince also brought a few concubines to relieve boredom, and it is not too much for him to take his sister with him.
Lord He put his mind at ease, and instructed Zhixun to take care of Zhitang. While instructing the eldest lady to prepare to go with him.
The eldest lady didn't have much expression when she received Lord He's instructions, and then told Xiao Tao and Yun Niang to pack up their things and go with her. But Xiao Tao could see that the eldest lady was happy, and there was a smile on her eyebrows and eyes. Xiao Tao's heart inexplicably has a sour taste.
Three days later, the prince took Qi Zhengxiu and 2,000 commanders to go first, and He Zhixun and several other accompanying officials and teachers followed in batches. From Jinling to Haozhou, the road was smooth and smooth, not in a hurry, and it took two days to reach the boundary of Haozhou. The prince sent a letter to inform the history of Haozhou's assassination, but he did not enter the city. went around in a circle and set up a camp tent in the southwest outside Haozhou City. Haozhou Thorn Shi hurriedly came to visit him in person, and did everything possible to vacate the nearby courtyards, ancestral halls, farmhouses and other places for the prince and his party to live. The prince was troublesome, so he was still in the tent. The ladies were placed in the courtyard.
After settling down, the prince took people out to survey every day and chose a place with good feng shui terrain. The eldest lady stayed bored, leaning on the inclined corridor of the courtyard and sighed: "The climate of this place is not much different from Jinling, I don't know what the customs and customs are outside?" ”
Xiao Tao understood that the eldest lady wanted to go out, but she was worried about her safety, so she smiled and said, "This is easy to do, you might as well me and Yun Niang go to the neighborhood to explore and see if there is anything to visit." It's close and fun, come back and tell you, and then let Childe find two people to protect him and go out together, so he won't be afraid of mistakes. ”
The eldest lady thought about it and said, "It's okay, Yun Niang doesn't like to show her face, you go with Ruosu, don't go far nearby." Remember to ask in detail. ”
Xiao Tao nodded yes. After lunch, I went out with Ruosu. Ruosu is two years younger than Xiao Tao, and she is even more excited. The two of them went out of the courtyard, and looked around except for paddy fields, canals, and farmhouses, and they didn't know where to go. I picked up the farmers who passed by and asked, knowing that not far away to walk a stick of incense, there is a market town, there will be a meeting on the fifteenth day of the first month, you can buy some novel things, and then to the east, there is a hill, and there is a perched phoenix pavilion on the mountain; There is a Lingshui River to the west, and the end of the Lingshui River enters the Hao River, but the scenery near the Lingshui River is good, and there are often literati and scholars gathering for fun-------
Xiao Tao listened to it, and after the farmer left, he said to Ruosu: "Today is exactly fifteen, didn't you say that there was a meeting?" Let's go shopping together. ”
Ruo Su's mind was also lively, and said: "Why don't we go to explore first, if there are many people, messy, and messy, Miss will go and pour pickles." ”
Xiao Tao is right to think about it, Miss has to inform He Gongzi when she goes out, then I don't know when, it is better to simply go to explore by herself and Ruosu, anyway, it will take a stick of incense. The two of them inquired together and walked towards the market.
