Liu Dongxing and Wen Yi rushed for a few days, although the weather was cold and sometimes there was wind and snow, but the couple sat in the carriage, there was a brazier stove, and there was hot fruit wine to cheer up, sometimes chatting and laughing, sometimes playing chess games, even if they sat quietly next to each other, they had a lot of fun, but they were a little happier than when they were in Heng'an.
Sometimes Liu Dongxing was in the mood, and he would ride a horse and lead a few soldiers to the edge of the nearby mountains and forests to take a turn and come back to add some wild meat. He is generous, he has no frame in front of the soldiers, he is good at riding and archery, and he does not like to make trouble, and the soldiers who escort him are willing to be close to him, even he likes to stay in the carriage with his wife, instead of riding a horse to hurry, or drinking with the soldiers, and only thinks that he is a husband and wife, not a little white face who is deep in the gentle township.
Liu Dongxing privately told Wen Yi about the soldiers' discussions, and sneered proudly: "The method that the lady taught me in the past is really useful, I have done enough work first, and I have taken out the general's style, so that the people below can see how masculine and righteous I am, and even if I am gentle and petty in the future, they will not laugh at me." β
Wen Yi was angry and funny: "How could I ever teach you such a method? I obviously persuaded you to do enough work on etiquette that time, so that the second uncle and aunt would not hurt you in front of outsiders. It's good that you use this kind of place......" She wanted to take a sip of him, but after thinking about it, she felt that he was entangled with herself, and she was very happy, and she had the intention of connivance in her heart, if she said that he was not right-minded, and she was not innocent, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she glanced at him, and leaned on the pillow in the corner, picked up a piece of clothing casually, and began to needle and thread by the light of the snow reflected outside the window.
Liu Dongxing laughed twice and pulled her sleeve again: "I still have a lot of clothes, what are you busy doing?" Carefully tired eyes. If you're really idle, talk to me. β
Wen Yi blushed and turned her back: "I don't want to, you will definitely move your hands and feet again." β
Liu Dongxing smiled and leaned his head on her shoulder: "You are obviously very happy...... Hey, don't! Don't be angry, I'll not say any more! He straightened up, his hands held high, and he looked innocent.
Wen Yi pinched the silver needle in his hand, pursed his lips, and shook it on his face twice: "Don't trouble me anymore!" Otherwise I'm going to be really angry! β
Liu Dongxing touched his nose and thought: If you are angry again, I will also have a way to coax it back. However, Wen Yi has already been angry a few times, and if she continues to make trouble, she may be in danger of being kicked out of bed when she arrives at the end of the night. He decided to take a break for a while, so he said with a smile: "After walking for half an hour, it is estimated that we will arrive at Changzhu County, where the county master was originally a protΓ©gΓ© of the second uncle's old friend, and we brought the second uncle's letter over, maybe we can also get some hospitality." It just so happened that we didn't have enough charcoal for heating, and the grass for the horses was also a little insufficient, so we asked them to help buy some. β
Wen Yi looked back at him with some doubts: "Do you also need to ask the second uncle's acquaintance for help?" It's just a trifle. In those four places before, it was clear that we could go to the post house to stay, rest for one night, replenish water and forage, and leave quietly, but you wanted to visit those strangers with the letter from your second uncle, and accept their banquet hospitality, and you could leave after only one night, but you dragged you to live two nights! It's a big fanfare along the way, and it's against your usual way of doing things. Xianggong, do you want to do something? I don't need to know the details, I just need to know the general idea, and I know what to do. β
Liu Dongxing smiled a little unnaturally: "What did I want to do?" But I think there is plenty of time, and it doesn't matter if you go slower. When we arrive in Kangnan, we will have countless official tasks to do, and I don't know when we will be able to live such a comfortable life again, so I want to take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do at the moment, and I will spend more time with you. If you don't like these officialdom entertainment, we won't visit those people, I heard that Changzhu's gold and silver jewelry is doing well, and when you get to the place, I will accompany you to the street and buy some gadgets you like, okay? β
Wen Yi was unmoved, her eyes stared at him: "You don't want to fool me!" If the Kangnan garrison is busy with official business, then you can get the business done first, and then you don't have to squeeze out time to accompany me back to Pingyang for the New Year. We're going to stay there for at least three years, and when will we not be able to go back? Tell me honestly, what the hell do you think, don't prevaricate me with these words. If you think I don't deserve to know what you think, then I didn't say it! Then he turned around and continued to do needlework.
She was really a little angry, after the days of Heng'an, she thought that there was already a tacit understanding between the husband and wife, and her husband would no longer have anything to hide from her.
Liu Dongxing opened his mouth, thought about it in distress, and as soon as his heart was crossed, he slapped her back and said, "Good lady, don't be angry, I was wrong, I shouldn't hide it from you." β
"Huh?" Wen Yi's expression was indifferent, and he continued to do needlework in his hands, not moved by his pitiful appearance at all.
Liu Dongxing sighed, and had to lower his head and explain honestly: "Actually, it's nothing, I did mean to make a big fanfare, so that the towns I passed along the way knew where I was passing and where I was going." β
Wen Yi slapped his hand: "Why is this?" You are...... Deliberately trying to let others know your whereabouts? β
Liu Dongxing nodded, and asked again: "Do you remember that in our long room, in addition to the second uncle and Princess Dongping, the children born to Mrs. Yao also have a little aunt?" β
Wen Yi turned her head: "It's Mrs. Su, right?" When I was a child, I saw her and her children in Binh Duong. "Yes, I once heard Miss Lin mention that Master Su was transferred to Qingzhou at the beginning of the year...... she looked at Liu Dongxing with wide eyes: "What are you...... What do you want to do in Qingzhou?! β
She hurriedly sat up, she didn't care about any needlework, she threw it all aside, and stared at Liu Dongxing: "Xianggong, what are you thinking?" I know that Qingzhou is King Zheng's territory, and King Zheng wants to plot against him, and Brother Luo and Sister Jiang are investigating the matter there. Are you interested in helping Brother Luo? But your duty is in Connang! This matter involves the three royal mansions, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arranged for you to guard Kangnan, and there is a heavy responsibility entrusted to you. If you delay Kangnan's envoy for the sake of Qingzhou's affairs and spoil His Royal Highness the Prince's calculations, how can it be good?! β
"Don't worry." Liu Dongxing hurriedly comforted her, "How could I not understand this truth? What's more, I don't know how Brother Luo behaved in Qingzhou and in what capacity, rushing to look for him will only bring him danger, how could I be so confused?! The affairs there are arranged by the General Administration Department, and no matter how worried I am, I will not interfere. β
"Then you are ......" Wen Yi thought for a while and understood, "Are you worried that something will happen to Mrs. Su?" I was also worried that Lord Su would be transferred to Qingzhou as an envoy, and maybe he would be controlled by King Zheng, but then I thought that since King Zheng had a connection with the Dongping Palace, Lord Su, as the brother-in-law of the Prince of Dongping, was naturally safe and sound. β
Liu Dongxing sighed: "I'm not worried about their safety, but I'm afraid that Uncle Su will be confused for a while and go to the Dongping Palace, and in the future, the palace will fail, and their family will not be able to escape responsibility!" β
Wen Yi was taken aback: "How is it possible?!" I have seen Mrs. Su before, judging by her speech and demeanor, she is not such a short-sighted person, and the upbringing of the Su family's children is also very good, with such children, how could Lord Su take refuge in Dongping Wangfu and do that bad thing?! β
Liu Dongxing sighed: "If only King Zheng's family is interested in causing trouble, even if King Kang's Mansion is added, I am not worried that Uncle Su will be confused, but now that Dongping Wangfu is also involved, it is difficult to say." Uncle Su and King Dongping are not just brothers-in-law! His late eldest brother was originally the companion of Jinshang when he was the prince, and when he went out to play with Jinshang, he often brought his younger brother with him, so King Dongping and Uncle Su can be called friends of the general horn. It was only later that the son of the Su family died early due to illness, and the two broke off contact, and it was not until Uncle Su was admitted to the Jinshi and entered Beijing as an official that they reconnected. My little aunt and Uncle Su's family affair is the matchmaker between King Dongping and the princess. Later, in order to avoid suspicion, Uncle Su rarely met with King Dongping, but the personal relationship between the two was excellent! β
Wen Yi frowned: "Are you worried...... Will Lord Su participate in this secret matter because of his personal friendship with the prince? β
Liu Dongxing nodded: "It's because I'm worried that Uncle Su's position is unclear, so I don't even dare to write a letter to test it." If Uncle Su really did this, the little aunt would not stop them, they were loving husband and wife, and they had both children and daughters, and I couldn't break up their family. But now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has long been in his chest, it is impossible for the vassal kings to succeed, once the matter is revealed, those clan nobles will naturally be able to save their lives, but the Su family is in danger! He sighed, "My little aunt treats me well. When my parents died, she was still in the boudoir, and whenever she met my second aunt scolding and scolding me, she would come to stop her. After she got married, when she met the New Year's Festival, she would also send me things, all of which were good clothes, shoes, socks, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the second aunt never bought me new clothes, if there was no thing sent by my aunt, I didn't even have a decent dress when I went out! Later, when I went to study in Cannes, my aunt gave me some excellent study utensils, not for me, but for me to use when I went to meet the gentlemen. Thanks to these gifts, I went to the academy for the first two years, and I won the blue eyes of the gentlemen, and my homework was good, and my life was really comfortable. He lowered his voice: "If it weren't for the letter from my hometown after I passed the Tongsheng exam, and the gentlemen were not allowed to let me continue to take the exam, I would have thought that I would always be comfortable......"
Wen Yi shook his hand, he raised his head and smiled: "It's okay, that's all over, I don't care about it anymore, it's just that my little aunt's love and care for me can't be forgotten." No matter what Uncle Su's decision is in this matter, I hope to pull my little aunt along. β
Wen Yi thought for a while: "You have made a lot of fanfare all the way, do you want to visit Mrs. Su in Qingzhou under the pretext of visiting relatives in an open and honest manner?" In this way, it will not arouse the suspicion of outsiders, but also secretly test Lord Su's intentions. Although Lord Su's intentions are unknown, with Mrs. Su's many years of love for you, even if she hides something, she will not reveal your intentions. β
"As long as you don't startle the snake." Liu Dongxing said, "I can use the excuse that I got the news from the second uncle and was worried about the safety of the little aunt, so I came to investigate." As for His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions, I will not reveal half of it, and even if I take office this time, I will infer that it is the intention of several great generals to promote it. He looked at Wen Yi and held her with his hand: "I acted this way, firstly, to hide from King Zheng's Mansion, and secondly, to avoid arousing the suspicion of His Royal Highness the Prince." If you don't know the truth, it's better to just go to your relatives and see your elders than to know. I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't want you to worry. β
Wen Yi pursed her lips: "You shouldn't have hidden it from me, if it's a business matter, or if it involves political secrets, it's natural for you not to tell me, but since it's related to our own relatives, I know it, and I can cooperate with you." You and I are husband and wife, and I know that I am not as smart as you, but as long as I can do it, I also hope to help you. You don't have to worry about me leaking out, I know how serious it is. β
Liu Dongxing's face was ashamed: "Don't say it, lady, I was wrong, I should have believed that you were." β
Wen Yi smiled slightly, and erased this matter, and the couple began to discuss how to act after arriving at the boundary of Qingzhou, what kind of gifts to give to the Su family, and how to inquire about the Su family, etc., and even after entering Qingzhou, they may be monitored by the forces of King Zheng's mansion, and they also discussed the corresponding measures.
King Zheng has not yet started an incident, and Liu Dongxing is the military attache of the current dynasty who is ordered to go to Kangnan to take up his post, even if he knows that he will be an enemy of himself in the future, King Zheng does not dare to detain people, not to mention, Liu Dongxing is publicized all the way, and his whereabouts are known to everyone, and if he wants to do something, he can't hide it. Liu Dongxing bet that King Zheng would not dare to be unfavorable to himself.
And Wen Yi proposed that Lord Lin, the current political envoy of Qingzhou, and his daughter Lin Meier were originally handkerchiefs that she recognized in Luwang's Mansion, so she could use the excuse to visit old friends and take a look at the situation of the Lin family. At the beginning, Luo Mingmin and Jiang Yao both mentioned that King Zheng was plotting against him, and all the secret agents of the General Administration Department in Jinnan, Qingzhou did not spread the news, and the Qingzhou Mansion was even more controlled, so it was also impossible for Lord Lin, who was the Qingzhou Domain, to stay out of the matter. When Lord Lin was in the capital, he was able to make friends with King Lu but did not suspect the king, and was even quite favored, which shows that his temperament is a person, and he may not have been attracted by King Zheng.
Three days later, Liu Dongxing and Wen Yi entered the scope of Qingzhou Mansion, and stayed at Qingzhou Post Station under the pretext of resting. They didn't hide it all the way, they made a big fanfare, and the well-intentioned people in Qingzhou Mansion naturally received the news as soon as possible.
Just when Wen Yi heard that the young lady of the Lin family, the political envoy of Qingzhou, had been married in a hurry two months ago, and the political envoy himself suddenly fell ill and was lying at home, and had not been to the government for many days, the post from the Su family was also sent to Liu Dongxing. Mrs. Su invited the couple to a banquet on the same day, and she wanted to wash the dust for her nephews and daughters-in-law.
Wen Yi glanced at Liu Dongxing, and the latter's eyes were obscure: "Shu Ping heard from the post guard that since the new governor took office, the Yamen has been acting as usual, although Su Zhentai once took leave due to minor illnesses and pains, but he has not delayed the errand in the yamen, and he has always had contacts with Zheng Wangfu. β
Liu Dongxing's mood was a little heavy, if Uncle Su really fell to the side of Dongping Palace, how could he rescue his little aunt?
Wen Yi calmed down and shook his hand: "What the truth is, you will know when we see it tonight." Don't worry, there will be a way. β
Liu Dongxing's expression gradually slowed down, and he held her hand and smiled: "You're right." There is nothing difficult in the world...... I'm afraid of people with hearts! β
