Chapter 170: Back to the Past
Meijing turned her head, looked straight ahead, and said seriously: "At this speed, we will be able to reach the capital in half a month, right?" ”
"Don't say anything else." Song Liangchen smiled coldly, pinched her chin and turned her face to herself, her eyes were long: "I haven't finished what I said just now, what did Xu Zijin say?" ”
The brows couldn't help frowning, and then quickly let go, and the beautiful scenery lowered her eyes and said: "The old man has passed away, and it is meaningless to mention it again, why don't you look forward?" ”
"I'm looking ahead." Song Liangchen nodded: "What about you?" ”
"After all this time, you still can't help but fall into the memories of the past even when you mention him?"
The beauty was stunned.
She hadn't thought of Zijin for a long time, but every time she thought about it, she still couldn't help but feel distressed, what should she do? She has loved, lost, and suffered, and she is not allowed to remember?
The dead will always have a place in their hearts.
Seeing that she was silent, Song Liangchen lowered his eyes slightly, let go of her chin, and continued to read in a blink of an eye.
The atmosphere in the carriage instantly became awkward, and Meijing rubbed her chin, and she could feel that he was angry, but she didn't know how to persuade him.
The two were silent together.
When resting in the Chengchi Inn passing by at night, Yushi couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong with the prince?" I slept in a separate room with you. ”
Meijing shook her head: "It's okay, after a tiring day, let him rest well, you guys go to bed early, I'm sleepy." ”
After speaking, he rolled up the quilt and closed his eyes.
Yushi and Jinyi looked at each other, with inexplicable looks in their eyes.
Along the way, even Yushu and Linfeng sensed that something was wrong. Although the prince and the princess still talked, dined, and rode as usual, it was as if something was suddenly separated from each other, and there was less eye to eye at each other, and the smile on the prince's face was almost invisible.
Silence gradually spread between the two, and the closer they got to the capital, the more obvious this silence became.
Yushi couldn't help but persuade Meijing: "The prince looks like he's angry about something, why don't you persuade the master?" When you are away from home, if the husband and wife do not have the same mind, things are easy to go wrong. ”
Meijing shrugged her shoulders, she had been so dizzy from motion sickness recently, she was uncomfortable and kept vomiting, she was so irritable that she didn't have the heart to coax people anymore. If he wants to be angry, then let him be angry.
I didn't see him come to feel distressed and vomited so pale!
persuasion was useless, and until they entered the gate of the capital, the relationship between the two did not ease.
"Master, Jing Zhaoyin was ordered to greet him, just ahead." Linfeng rode his horse and walked by the carriage and said something inside.
Song Liangchen closed the book in his hand, glanced at the beautiful scenery, and said lightly: "Got it, stop the car." ”
"Yes."
The carriage stopped on the quiet official road, and he stared at the curtain and said, "You go down with me, so I can say hello to Jing Zhaoyin." ”
Meijing's face turned a little pale, and she covered her stomach and responded: "Okay." ”
Follow him out of the car, in order to maintain the dignity of the princess, Meijing pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, bowing slightly to the people who came to greet her, which was considered a salute.
Jing Zhaoyin is a big fat man, surnamed Liu, smiled so much that his eyebrows were not eyebrows, and he greeted him and said: "King Yan has been tired of traveling and driving all the way, and the lower officials came to greet him on the orders of the emperor, and he also prepared a banquet in the cold house, and invited the prince to appreciate his face." ”
"There is no need to eat, the princess is not very comfortable with the bumps and needs to rest." Song Liangchen said: "The prince's mansion has been cleaned up, right?" ”
Jing Zhaoyin smiled awkwardly, and arched his hand: "The preparation is ready, but the prince's mansion has been renovated recently, just to welcome all the princes, you came too early, and it is not too convenient to live in, Xiaguan has a separate garden in Beijing, clean and elegant, if the prince does not dislike it......"
Song Liangchen raised his eyebrows, swept the eyes of the person in front of him, and directly remained silent.
Lin Feng next to him frowned and said, "Let the prince go to live in your other garden, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?" ”
It's not like that if you want to get closer, you can't be a dignified prince, can you stoop to the door of Wupin Jing Zhaoyin? This person wants to slip around and shoot horses, and he doesn't know how to measure.
There were six or seven grade Beijing officials all around, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.
Song Liangchen bowed his head at them, turned around and was about to walk in the direction of the prince's mansion, when he saw a brown sedan chair coming this way, followed by four guards in front, six house slaves in the back, and there was an attendant next to the sedan chair.
There is also a unicorn-style, palm-sized crane on the top of the sedan chair, which is afraid that only officials of the third grade or above can have a logo.
Frowning and thinking about who this person would be, he saw the officials next to him bow their heads and bow their heads.
The sedan chair was pressed down, and a man in his forties and fifties wearing a peacock pattern official uniform came out, his facial features were very elegant, but he was old and had deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
When he came up, he bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Xu Chongshan of Xiaguan Zhongshu Province is here to greet the prince." ”
The beauty was shocked and looked up at him.
Xu Chongshan, the master of the Xu family, a third-grade official in Zhongshu Province, has great power in the court, is meticulous, and has been in the Xu family for half a year, except for the tea handed to him when he visited the church, and then Meijing has never seen him again.
He and Xu Zijin are three points similar.
Song Liangchen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand to help him: "Lord Xu doesn't have to be polite. ”
Xu Chongshan raised his head and said with a smile: "The prince's mansion is being repaired, and the lower officials have already given the saint a gift, so please ask the prince to move to the Xu mansion for the time being, and when the prince's mansion is repaired, it will not be too late to go over." ”
"Lord Xu is here to invite, that's really reasonable." Liu Fatzi hurriedly said: "Xia Guan heard that the Xu family didn't have a goddaughter who married Yandi?" It's kind of a little related. ”
Song Liangchen raised the corners of his mouth, took a step back and hugged the waist of the beautiful scenery and said: "This is the goddaughter of the Xu family, married to this king, and became a concubine." ”
Xu Chongshan only paused slightly, and then smiled kindly, but the others were stupid, looking up at the beautiful Princess Yan, they all smiled dryly, and couldn't answer for a while.
The waist was pinched, Jingjing turned around, glanced at Song Liangchen, understood his eye signal, and stepped forward to salute Xu Chongshan: "Dad." ”
Xu Chongshan looked at her deeply and said, "Don't be polite, this can be regarded as a belated return." The Xu family has been waiting for you for a long time, so let's go home first. ”
Meijing nodded, her expression a little complicated.
Her five thousand taels of silver are not yet complete! When I go to Xu's house now, I always feel that my confidence is not enough.
Someone from behind reached out and pressed her slightly bent back, and said lightly: "Get in the car, go back to your house." ”
“…… Good. Meijing nodded, and when he pressed it, he felt a lot more confident. It doesn't matter if the silver is not enough, she has abducted a prince back.
Getting into the car and moving forward, Meijing was a little nervous, her expression was very serious, her eyes were staring ahead, and she didn't move.
Song Liangchen glanced at her several times, wanting to speak to reassure her, but he pursed his lips and swallowed back. Let her tense all the way to the door of the Xu Mansion.
The Xu family is worthy of being a famous family in the capital, and the mansion is not worse than the Yanwang Mansion, with a list of slaves at the door, and the door is open.
Song Liangchen got out of the car, and as soon as he turned around and stretched out his hand, he saw Shen Meijing grabbing the wheel very unproductively.
"How?" Seeing her like this, he couldn't help laughing, and quickly reined in, and said calmly: "What are you afraid of?" Get down. ”
As soon as she goes down, she has to face all the past, how can she not be afraid? Meijing pouted, reached out to grab him, and jumped out of the car gently.
Sensing that his hand was about to be released, Meijing hurriedly shook it, grabbed him to death, and whispered, "Lend me for a while." ”
Raising her eyebrows slightly, Song Liangchen turned his head and walked towards the Xu Mansion, and only smiled in the direction she couldn't see, and responded.
I've never seen such a timid Shen Meijing, isn't it not afraid of heaven and earth when I'm angry with him? Why do you have to hold his hand now to dare to step into this mansion?
"Please be inside, prince." Xu Chongshan led the way.
As soon as Song Liangchen looked up, he saw two men in blue and white brocade robes standing at the gate of the mansion, who should be the sons of the mansion, and they all bowed to him to express their congratulations.
"Both of these are dogs, and the other one is inconvenient, so I didn't come to the door." Xu Chongshan said: "In the future, I have to ask the prince for more advice." ”
"Don't dare." Song Liangchen responded, and couldn't help but look at them with his spare eyes.
This Xu family is not bad, it may have inherited the face of Lord Xu, and the two sons are both clear and beautiful, quite bookish.
However, they are not as good-looking as him.
"The lower official will take the prince to the courtyard where he will stay first, and when he has lunch, he will lead the prince and the other people in this mansion to meet with the prince and princess."
"Okay."
The pavilions and pavilions in Xu's mansion are also elegant, Song Liangchen looked around, and couldn't help but look sideways at the beautiful scenery again.
She lowered her eyes, seemingly completely uncurious. That's right, I've lived in it for half a year, I'm afraid I'm familiar with it.
"Why do you want to go to Changyiju?"
Halfway through, Meijing stopped, lowered his eyes and asked, "I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to use that place to entertain the prince, right?" ”
Xu Chongshan in front of him was stunned for a moment, turned around and bowed his head slightly: "I didn't know that the princess would be... It will be you, so the cheap arranged for Changyiju, and the courtyard in the house is extremely elegant, and no one lives in it, so it was cleaned up. ”
"If it's elegant, why is there no one to live there?" Song Liangchen's eyes moved slightly: "I used to live... Could it be Xu Zijin? ”
Xu Chongshan was stunned and arched his hand: "The prince still knows the name of the dog, and it should be an honor for Zijin to be in the spirit of the sky." ”
They really didn't expect Shen Meijing to become a princess, after receiving the two letters from Yan Di last time, and then writing a family letter to the past, Yan Di has no news. The people in the mansion feel that with Shen Meijing's identity, even if she can be the princess, she will definitely not become the princess after the prince succeeds to the throne.
As a result, did they all guess wrong?
The woman who was driven out is now going to welcome her back, and I don't know what kind of expression Xiulian will have.
Song Liangchen snorted lightly, pulled the beautiful scenery and continued to walk forward: "Since the courtyard is clean, let's go over and have a look." ”
