Chapter 226: Open and Honest (3)
This is to warn himself, Yuan Che sneered after hearing this: "Who does Zili think of me?" The two of us are holding each other back, and no one has to guard against the other. β
After that, he and Yunchen looked at Wei Nong together.
Wei Nong was silent for a moment, and said honestly: "I can't see Nie Xingji for the time being, and it is impossible to tell him the secret of Long Yin's shocking Hong...... But I can't guarantee those thirty volumes. β
Yuan Che didn't care: "It's nothing you told him, when the things are all divided, can he still come to Ningguo to rob it?" As for your thirty books, give them as you want! β
Qimen Dunjia, mathematical deduction, medical books or something, strange people may be interested, but they are of little use to the king. Let's play with Nie Xingji! Yuan Che thought.
Yunchen didn't say anything against it, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yuan Che made an ending and said with a smile: "Then it's decided!" The gentleman's agreement, the violator will be thundered and struck! β
Wei Nong had been thirsty for a long time, and when he saw that the matter had finally come to an end, he poured himself a cup of cold tea and drank it all.
Yuan Che also consciously took the initiative to put away the two teacups, poured a cup for Yunchen and himself, and laughed in a low voice: "Actually, I still have something to do, I need Zili's help." β
"Son, please speak." Yunchen listened attentively.
"Actually, I'm afraid that the old man won't let me escort Weinong, so I want you to help me."
"How can I help?" Yunchen asked.
Yuan Che smiled brighter and brighter: "It's a little hard to say, this time in front of the old man, I want to intercede for you...... I...... You ......"
He pointed at himself, then at Yunchen, and didn't continue.
Yunchen instantly understood, frowned and groaned for a moment, and took the initiative to reply: "Actually...... Tassel is three months pregnant, and after I resign, I will take her as a concubine. β
"It couldn't be better!" Yuan Che took the lead in arching his hand: "Congratulations to Zili." β
Wei Nong also gently put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "Congratulations." β
*****
From that day on, all three of them began to prepare.
First, as soon as Yunchen retreated to the end, he resigned and moved to a private residence in the west of Lidu City. Then, in just ten days, he ransomed himself for the tassel and surrendered himself to take him as a concubine.
The news "reached" Yuan Che's ears, and he entered the palace in frustration that day and reported the news to King Ning: "Lord Yun took a concubine today, and the Qinglou woman has been pregnant for three months......"
"He's resigned, what else do you call 'Master Yun'?" King Ning reprimanded.
"It's the grandson's gaffe," Yuan Che lowered his head deeply, "Zili mentioned to his grandson in the past, he and the Qinglou woman are in love, but as an official of the imperial court, he doesn't dare to violate the law and take prostitutes as concubines." Now...... Now that he has resigned, he can be regarded as having got what he wanted. β
King Ning snorted disdainfully, and commented in a deep voice: "Indulging in the color of a cheap prostitute, regardless of the shame of identity, it is really a person who has lost the Chu royal family." β
Yuan Che looked like he hadn't heard it, and his expression was in a trance: "It's like this, grandson...... The grandson wants to go out for a walk. β
King Ning frowned when he heard this: "Where are you going to go?" β
Yuan Che then said boldly: "Don't you want to send the deposed Queen Dusk Clan back to Yan Kingdom?" The grandson asked for an escort. β
"Yuan Che!" King Ning was so angry that his face turned red in an instant, and he called him by his name: "You are the dignified prince of Wei Hou of Ningguo, and you are willing to be a pawn and escort a deposed queen of Yan Kingdom?!" β
"Yunchen takes a concubine and gives birth to a child, you have to go out for a walk; What if he takes a wife? What if he dies? Are you alive or not? Yes? The more King Ning spoke, the more angry he became, and he almost threw the ivory pen in his face.
Yuan Che was unashamed: "Then what do you say your grandson can do?" Stay in Lidu, and you can't compete with your royal grandson; Back to Fengzhou, it is too embarrassing to have no achievements; Instead of spending time in the Beijing Mansion every day, it is better to go out for a walk, and the grandson also wants to see how powerful Nie Xingji is. β
"Do you want to know Nie Xingji?" King Ning's expression instantly became strange.
"He can break through the state of Chu and trample a person like Zili under his feet, shouldn't he go and see it?" Yuan Che had a look of resentment on his face.
Seeing this, King Ning was even more dissatisfied: "Are you trying to fight for Yunchen?" β
"Of course not!" Yuan Che replied confidently: "Sun Er wants to meet the ruler of Yan Kingdom and see if he is strong or our prince Sun Qiang." β
The tone of these words was a little sour and a little sarcastic, but King Ning was a little satisfied, and nodded slightly: "Yes, you still have a bit of backbone." β
"Do you agree?" Yuan Che's spirit was shocked.
King Ning remembered Yuan Che's deformed thoughts about Yunchen, and he also had a headache, seeing that his grandson was willing to solve it by himself, he really couldn't bear to let him continue to hold back, so he reluctantly agreed: "Whether you go out for a walk, or whether you have knowledge, you can't fall into the prestige of Ning Guo and teach people to look down on it!" β
"Definitely! Certain! Yuan Che was overjoyed, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "I heard that the last time the Twilight clan was attacked, this time there will be a grandson escort, there will be no difference!" If those demons and monsters come out to make trouble, the grandson will teach them that there is no return! β
"Huh! What a big breath! King Ning waved his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
Yuan Che was very eye-catching, so he respectfully thanked him, saluted, and retired.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Qi Zhan came on the back foot, and said worriedly: "Grandfather Wang, do you really want Brother Che to escort Weinong?" β
"Or else? Do you want him to secretly go to Yunchen again? King Ning sighed helplessly: "I know what you're worried about, he won't mess up this little thing, if he wants to harm the Dusk family, can he keep her alive until now?" β
"Yes......" Qi Zhan got the right words, and his mind was reluctantly relaxed.
King Ning still looked outside the hall gate, and snorted heavily: "If it weren't for Yunchen's usefulness, just for Che'er, Lone wouldn't be able to tolerate him!" β
*****
Yuan Che returned to Wei Hou's Mansion refreshed, and the first thing he did was to find Wei Nong, wanting to tell her the good news. But Wei Nong was not there, Wang Tuo said that she went to congratulate Yunchen on taking a concubine.
Yuan Che was a little depressed: "Just after the ban was lifted, I ran around!" β
At the same time as he said this, the Weinong people had already stepped into Yunchen's other garden. There was no sadness on her face, and naturally there was no joy, as if she was still the female guard of the Marquis of Wei, just to do an ordinary errand for her master. However, there are also gratifying things, such as this time when she visited, Zhufeng and Yunxiao were very welcome, and their attitudes were very different from before.
She came just in time for the feast. But it is said to be a "banquet", but it is just a banquet set up by Yunchen to celebrate the joy of taking a concubine, and no outsiders came to cheer at all.
The world is hot and cold, there are many icing on the cake, and there are too few people who send charcoal in the snow, everyone knows that Yunchen was almost convicted of committing a crime, and now they all avoid him. In less than two years, the upstart who was hot in the DPRK and China at the beginning has become a down-and-out common man who no one cares about.
Yunchen couldn't tell what he was feeling when he saw Weinong coming, but he still held back and drank a few glasses with her alone. While he was still drunk, he asked her, "Are you all packed?" β
"It's almost, Yuan Che has entered the palace today to ask for his life." Wei Nong's expression was as usual.
"Later...... Don't come back. Yunchen instructed in a low voice, his voice a little difficult.
Wei Nong nodded and laughed at himself: "You gave me angelica, and I have learned enough lessons." β
Yunchen lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant, and neither of them seemed to know what to say. Seeing this, Wei Nong put down his wine glass, took out a red brocade box from his sleeve, and put it in front of Yunchen: "I've been here for so long, and I forgot to say congratulations." This is a congratulatory gift, not a tribute. β
Yunchen was a little surprised, but he still opened the brocade box - it was a pair of golden locks, the mother lock was engraved with "The years are quiet", and the child lock was engraved with "Long Life and 100 Years Old". At first glance, it was given to the tassel and her unborn child.
Since entering the door, Wei Nong has never asked about the tassel's pregnancy, nor has she asked who the child is. Yunchen could only silently put away the brocade box: "The mother and son locks are very beautiful...... Thanks a lot. β
"If you like it...... It's not early, I have to go. β
"I'll send you out."
Wei Nong didn't refuse, and the two came out of the house and walked out of the gate of the annex together. At the end of October, the land of the north is already getting cooler, and the slightly thick clothes are not too thick. Yunchen involuntarily asked, "How did you come here?" β
"Ride the chariot."
"I'll send someone to bring you a cloak."
"No, there's in the car."
Both of them cherished words like gold, and it seemed that they had nothing to say anymore. Walking silently outside the gate like this, Yunchen asked again: "Backwards...... What are your plans? β
Wei Nong shook his head: "I don't know, let's take one step at a time." β
Yunchen immediately frowned: "You're not going back to Yan Kingdom?" β
"Do I still have the face to go back?" Under the moonlight, Weinong finally scattered a little lonely and confused, like the only faint light on the boundless river, bright and dazzling, but also lonely and fleeting.
It is impossible to see, catch, or touch.
Yunchen suddenly found that he no longer had a position to interfere in her affairs. From now on, whether she lives or dies, whether she marries or dies alone, has nothing to do with him.
"Life is like a wanderer, but don't forget to find your roots." He could only persuade in a vague way.
Wei Zhen laughed out loud: "Others are Wanderers, and I am about Broom Star." and pro-Chu State, Chu State was destroyed; Back to the Yan State, the Yan State coup d'Γ©tat; When you came to Ningguo, you were imprisoned and resigned...... In short, wherever you go, it is harmful to others and yourself, and it is only suitable for seclusion in the deep forest! β
As she was talking, suddenly a night wind blew mercilessly, as if responding to her words. Wei Nong suddenly felt cold, and couldn't help but shrink his neck: "It's windy at the door, you can go back." β
Yunchen opened his mouth, only to feel that his throat was dry: "You...... Take care. β
"Thank you." Wei Nong didn't say anything more, tightened her clothes and stepped down the steps, before stepping on the wheel, she suddenly paused and looked back, and sighed lightly: "Yunchen, I am from Yan Kingdom." β
In a word, it seems to be stubborn, it seems to be sad, it seems to be regretful, it seems to be sober, it turns a thousand times in the wind, and finally scatters in the wind. It's like a withered fate, passing away without a trace.
She didn't wait for Yunchen's response, so she turned around and stepped into the car, lifting the curtain and entering. When the wheels of the chariot sounded, she suddenly realized that it was October 28.
What a coincidence! On this night eight years ago, she saw off Qi Zhan in the Chu Palace, and walked with Chu Li in the night for the first time.
At that time, the Chu country was so warm, and today's Ning country was so cold, so cold that she almost forgot the feeling at that time, forgot the lingering fragrance of the grass and trees, and forgot the night when the breeze was drunk.
From then on, she and him had nothing to do with each other.
