Chapter 134: The young master rejects his neighbors with a cold face
When Shi Zhiyi heard this, he said: "What others think, that's their business, and they are powerless to change it." If there is such a thing as today, Shi Zhiyi will follow. ”
"A small commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will let Shi Shao City Lord feel like a great enemy, and if someone else comes, how can you catch it?" Princess Shunde looked at Shi Zhiyi with interest while stroking the white fox fur under her.
"The princess passed by here today, isn't it an accident?" Shi Zhiyi suddenly raised his head and looked at the beautiful face.
Princess Shunde said coquettishly: "You really don't listen to things outside the window, although Kyoto is big, you can't take care of other places, but the neighbors on Ping'an Street should always know each other, right?"
It turned out that the imperial daughter of the Great Jin Dynasty was given the title of princess when she reached adulthood at the age of eighteen, and at the same time, she was given a mansion in Kyoto as a princess's mansion, and from then on, she could move out of the palace and have her own independent space.
Princess Shunde's princess's mansion is at No. 11 Ping'an Street, not far from Shi's mansion, and it is barely a neighbor. And this Yongjin Lane is the only way for her to travel every day.
After figuring it out, Shi Zhiyi scratched his head a little embarrassed. After he came to Kyoto, he did lock himself up in the house all day to practice, not to mention No. 11, even if it was Jialiu Jiaba, he didn't know who lived there.
"Shi Zhiyi's skills are not as good as people, so he naturally has nothing to say. I wonder what the princess has to say?"
Princess Shunde stopped what she was doing and stared at Shi Zhiyi's eyes: "Keep your distance from my third brother and come to my eldest brother's side?" If you are worried about the misunderstanding with Da Xi Mengze before, I can be an intermediary to help you solve it." Between Yunqi City and Yuzhou, they are already neighbors with a strip of water, if the two join forces, they can completely control the entire upper reaches of the river, and the interests in it, with the wisdom and wisdom of the young city lord, naturally do not need me to say more. ”
"It turns out that the princess is here to be a lobbyist for the eldest prince, one soft and one hard, two-pronged, the eldest prince really has a good idea!" Shi Zhiyi reversed his previous restraint, and an invisible momentum suddenly emanated from his body. Although he was sitting in the car, he was like a peerless spear, standing proudly, and the gun was rising to the sky.
"Shi Zhiyi is not talented, and he is valued by the prince and princess. However, he is not a traitor to seek glory, no matter what the identity of the third prince is, he will be a friend in the next life, and there will be no change. If he is not interested in the position of prince, I will be behind him, blocking the spears and arrows, and trying to keep him safe, if he is interested in that position......"
"So what?"
"I will be in front of him, kill a bloody path for him, and dispel all the ghosts and ghosts!"
After saying that, Shi Zhiyi got up and saluted Princess Shunde, then opened the door and jumped out despite the carriage still moving.
A cold wind blew in, and the originally warm carriage was suddenly cold.
......
After Wang Jun's incident, Shi Zhiyi once again deeply felt the lack of his strength, and locked himself in the room all day long, practicing hard, and stayed at home.
At the same time, he also told Steward Li and other people in the house to be more careful when going out, and if there is something that cannot be solved, put your own life first, and inform him as soon as possible.
Fortunately, maybe Wang Jun is a reckless guy after all, after all, more than half a month has passed, everything is calm as usual, and no one has come to provoke him.
The days passed, and soon the end of the year was approaching.
This is the first time that Shi Zhiyi has not spent the New Year at his home in Yunqi City. Recalling the happy scene of the father and son in the past, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic.
sent a letter to Yunqi City, still reporting good news but not bad news, but I waited until the New Year, and I didn't wait for my father's reply.
Amid the sound of firecrackers all over the city, Shi Zhiyi ushered in his first New Year in Kyoto. Shi Fuzhong went up to Steward Li, down to the miscellaneous mother-in-law, etc., and everyone received a big red envelope of one hundred taels of silver from the young master - even in a prosperous city like Kyoto, a well-off family of five or six people only spends fifteen or sixteen taels of silver a month.
If you save a little money, just this red envelope sealed by Shi Zhiyi is enough for the family to live for a year, not to mention that the salaries of the people in the Shi Mansion are several times higher than those of ordinary large families. I don't know if it's the role of red envelopes, in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the entire Shi Mansion is filled with a cheerful atmosphere, which also dilutes Shi Zhiyi's homesickness to a certain extent.
After the New Year, it is the Lantern Festival.
Since Emperor Jingchang held a banquet that day, Shi Zhiyi hadn't seen Yu Zhongqian for a long time. Shi Zhiyi imagined that after the incident of the Beigong family, as the third prince, Yu Zhongqian must have a lot of things to face, so he didn't try to contact the other party.
A few days ago, Yu Zhongqian sent a message from the palace to ask Shi Zhiyi to meet by the Yongji River on the night of the Lantern Festival. Therefore, just after the New Year, Shi Zhiyi was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the Lantern Festival.
Kyoto is located at the southeast corner of the confluence of the Oe and Yongji rivers, about sixty or seventy miles away from the Okai River, and less than ten li away from the Naiji River. Every Lantern Festival night, a grand Lantern Festival will be held by the Yongji River, a tradition that has continued for tens of thousands of years.
At that time, in addition to countless lanterns and boats of different shapes for people to enjoy, there are also delicacies from all over the world, jugglers from all over the world will gather here, it is said that at the most, the Yongji River Lantern Festival can attract more than one million people, it is really crowded, lively and extraordinary.
The royal family of all dynasties has always had a tradition of having fun with the people on the night of the Lantern Festival, and Emperor Jingchang is naturally no exception. And the princes, princesses, and county lords often take this opportunity to travel in casual clothes and go deep into the people to enjoy this prosperous and prosperous world.
More than ten days passed by in a snap of a finger, and soon it was the Lantern Festival.
On this day, Shi Zhiyi went out early and waited at the place agreed with the third prince. After the incident in Yongjin Lane that day, Shi Zhiyi was also faintly worried about the current situation of the three princes. He is just suffering from the disaster of the pond fish of the prince's dispute, and someone will take action against him regardless of his identity as the son of one of the eight great families, so what will happen to Yu Zhongqian, who is in the middle of the whirlpool?
Before going out, Shi Zhiyi didn't forget to give everyone in the mansion a holiday, which caused a burst of laughter - after all, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival will be held once a year, and there is nothing valuable in this mansion except for this mansion, and he is not afraid of being remembered by thieves.
Although he went out early, Shi Zhiyi obviously underestimated the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival. The Xuanwu Avenue in the direction of the Yongji River was crowded with people and vehicles going to enjoy the lanterns, and Shi Zhiyi's carriage walked for more than an hour, but it only advanced less than five miles—it had not yet left the city.
In desperation, Shi Zhiyi had no choice but to get out of the car and walk there.
When we arrived at the Yongji River, it was already evening. Shi Zhiyi found the best position under the flying stone by the river and looked in the direction of Kyoto. After about half an hour, I saw a team of Xuanjia cavalry open the way, and then the banner was waving drums and music, and I knew that it was Emperor Jingchang's royal car.
Shi Zhiyi guessed that the princes should be walking with Emperor Jingchang, and was looking towards the convoy, but felt that someone slapped him on the right shoulder.
