Beijing Chapter 2 Friendship Volume: Secret Meeting (II)
While listening to Li Mingyuan's words, Mrs. Wu glanced at the two behind him with her spare eyes. I always felt that the little guard on the left was a little familiar.
Lin Qingran saw that Mrs. Wu kept looking at him and kept dodging.
Seeing that the little guard had been dodging, he was even more curious, "Have we met somewhere?" Mrs. Wu looked at her and asked curiously.
Lin Qingran hurriedly lowered his head and thought, am I recognized?
Li Mingyuan also looked back at Lin Qingran, "Mrs. Wu has seen my subordinates?" "Didn't you say that you had only seen what you looked like when you were a child?
"It's just a little familiar, what's your name?" Mrs. Wu looked at her and asked.
What to do? Do you want to answer honestly? Lin Qingran struggled in his heart.
Li Mingyuan saw that she hadn't replied, and seeing her embarrassed expression, he was trying to relieve her, "She ......."
Lin Qingran ......" She struggled a bit, but decided to say it herself.
Lin Qingran?? How can you have the same name as Lin Shangshu's daughter? Mrs. Wu's eyes widened in surprise, and then she asked, "What is your relationship with the original Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites?" β
"I ...... It's his daughter, Lin Qingran. She continued.
"Didn't you go to Yunzhou? Yes! You and you, it turns out ......" Mrs. Wu suddenly realized, he seemed to understand something.
Li Mingyuan wanted to explain, but he didn't speak.
"It turned out to be Qingran, it's good to see that you're okay." Mrs. Wu had a relieved expression on her face, "When Lin Shangshu left back then, I was really worried about what would happen to you. So how is Lin Shangshu now? β
"Father...... Passed away. Lin Qingran said lightly.
"Ahh Hearing that Lin Shangshu had passed away, Mrs. Wu sat down in a chair with a sad face, "Alas, it's a pity......"
Seeing Mrs. Wu grieving for his father's death also evoked some memories of Lin Qingran, "If it wasn't for Mrs. Wu's help, our family would not have been able to go to Yunzhou." She remembered that her father had told her that the emperor originally intended to kill him, but it was Taifu Gong who tried his best to protect him and was able to avoid it.
"I ...... And only so much can be done, alas! Lin Shangshu is just too stubborn. "Lin Shangshu came to the capital from Xinzhou in his early years, and he was the champion, and then entered his door, and he has always been his proud protΓ©gΓ©, but he never thought about ......it.
"By the way, do you remember Hao'er?" Mrs. Wu remembered that she and the prince were studying together.
"Prince?" I vaguely remember that there is a big character in the prince's name.
"Yes." It turned out that she remembered.
"I ...... After going to Yunzhou. Lin Qingran whispered.
Mrs. Wu didn't listen to what she said, "Hao'er still mentions you often, if he knows that you have returned to the capital, he must be very happy." β
Is her relationship with the prince so close in her memory?
"Now that you have arrived in the capital, you will have the opportunity to meet Hao'er in the future." Mrs. Wu said excitedly.
"It's just that I'm ...... now," Lin Qingran looked a little inferior.
"What is it? The daughter of a criminal minister? I've never seen you that way. "Mrs. Wu never thought that Lin Shangshu had any guilt.
"Thank you, Tai Fu." Lin Qingran felt a heartfelt sense of gratitude in his heart at this time.
"You still remember to call me Tai Fu Gong, I was naughty when I was a child, and I always liked women to dress up as men, but now it's not you who dress up as men, I don't necessarily recognize you, hahaha." Mrs. Wu said happily.
Li Mingyuan had both doubts and surprises in his heart at this time. This is not me and Mrs. Wu meeting, why does this Lin Qingran seem to be more familiar.
Mrs. Wu also let down his guard at this time, and looked back at Li Mingyuan, "Since you know Qingran, then I will definitely help you in this court." It's just that...... Ming Yuan, this matter is a big trouble, and the prince is not allowed to fornicate with internal assistance, and I will not help too much. β
"Mrs. Wu doesn't have to worry too much, when the time comes, I just need your help."
Since that's the case, let's help him for the time being, "Okay, don't call me Mrs. Wu like this, call me Mrs. Fu with them." β
"Thank you, Tai Gong, I will be sorry for you." Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate.
After seeing Mrs. Wu, Li Mingyuan returned to the courtyard of his second sister Li Mingqin.
"Second sister, it's not too early now, I still have to hurry out of the city to join the team." He said.
"Yes!" Li Mingqin looked at Lin Qingran beside him as he spoke, "Unexpectedly, you still know Lin Shangshu's daughter." β
"Picked it up on the road." He quipped.
β¦β¦ This dead Li Mingyuan! I wouldn't have helped her if I had known!
"If you're a girl, you can't be gentle. Look at such a beautiful girl, dressed like this. Li Mingqin had never seen his brother so close to that woman, so he was very curious, and approached her and looked up and down.
is really worthy of being the county lord of the palace, but he is particularly discerning, "Thank you for the second county lord." "Call her the second county lord like the people in the house.
Li Mingqin thought to himself that his younger brother was afraid that he had found a brother-in-law for himself.
"You'd better go quickly, anyway, there will be a chance to talk later." Li Mingqin urged them.
Mrs. Wu sent Li Mingyuan away here, and also chatted with his subordinates.
"Li Mingyuan is really a bold and resourceful person, and I thought he was a spoiled and domineering boy." Mrs. Wu said.
"Tai Fu Gong, do you really want to cooperate with him?" The man asked.
"It's okay, Taishi Liang likes to make small moves, Li Mingyuan offended him this time, I'm afraid that it will be unfavorable to him when the time comes. In this way, you can inquire carefully about what the situation is in Yangzhou City. "Mrs. Wu thinks that since he has cooperated, he still has to help well, after all, he and Mrs. Liang are not on the same page, and it would not be a good thing if I could take this opportunity to attack Mrs. Liang.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Coming out of the Taigong Mansion in the next day, they returned to the inn and cleaned up briefly, and then prepared to go out of the city and join the team.
Lin Qingran just came to the capital and was about to leave the city, and he was a little reluctant.
Li Mingyuan saw her thoughts, "What? Reluctantly leaving. β
"It's coming anyway." As she spoke, she saw a small bridge on the river, and there were many bridges like this in the capital, of different sizes, located on the Huai River. When I think of rainy days in my childhood, I like to hold a paper umbrella the most, stand in the middle of this small bridge, watch the rainwater drops fall on the bridge and in the river, hear the crackling sound, and enjoy the rain scene, I feel very comfortable.
It's not that I can't remember, I just don't want to remember. If he really had such a close relationship with the prince, why didn't he come to see him off when he left. The daughter of a criminal minister, I'm afraid no one wants to get involved.
Li Mingyuan looked at her, "If you don't want to see the prince, forget it." β
"Huh?" She reacted from the memories.
"I see that when you talked about the prince just now, you didn't seem to be very happy," Taifu Gong mentioned the prince just now, and her expression was hesitant.
"No, I just don't remember what the prince used to be like." She propped her chin and thought for a moment.
"If you can't think of it, forget it." Seeing that she had been thinking about it for too long, Li Mingyuan said.
"Well, it's important to hurry." Yes, anyway, there will be a chance to meet in the future, and it's useless to think so much now.
After leaving the capital, they rushed all the way back, and when it was dark, they arrived at the inn where they had stayed, and Liu Wei was waiting for them.
"Did you encounter anything along the way?" Li Mingyuan asked eagerly.
"Little Marquis, not for the time being, passing by the post station and the city, we are also stationed outside. Some officials would come to visit, but most of them were rejected by me. Liu Wei said.
"Good." Socializing and the like are handed over to Liu Wei, and he is still very relieved.
"It's just that this Shangjing ......" Liu Wei felt that he should inform the little marquis about Shangjing.
"What's wrong with Shangjing?" He asked.
"He always asked me all the way, Lin Qingran went there, how was it, and he was a little uncooperative." Because Shang Jing didn't cooperate, some people couldn't refuse, and they wanted him to refuse directly in the carriage, but he almost got something.
"Did you tell him finally?" He then asked.
"I'll just say that she and the little marquis have gone to meet friends in the capital and will be back soon."
"Well done." Now that things are done, it's time to enter the city tomorrow.
After Lin Qingran returned to the team, he also saw Shangjing.
"How are you? I saw that Li Mingyuan just put you on the horse, and I was worried to death. Shang Jing couldn't wait to ask when he saw her.
"It's okay, what else can he do to me. It's just this escape plan, alas......" Lin Qingran said with a sigh.
"If you can't go to Xinzhou, forget it, as long as you're fine."
Thinking that the capital was still more dangerous, Lin Qingran said: "You have helped him so much now, if you let him let you go, you shouldn't refuse, I will tell him tomorrow and let you go first." β
"Shall I go first? What about you? Shang Jing asked.
After meeting Mrs. Wu and agreeing to meet the prince, she could only enter Beijing with Li Mingyuan for the time being, "I may also enter Beijing together." β
"To the capital?"
"Yes."
"Then after you go to the capital, can you still come out?" She was originally born in the capital, Shang Jing asked worriedly.
"It should work." When Li Mingyuan's matter stabilizes, the capital will not be so strict, and there will be a chance to come out at that time.
"That's good."
Shang Jing has always been timid and afraid of things since he was born because of his background, and he has been bullied since he was a child, and his favorite will be snatched away by others. Sometimes fate played a joke on him, and finally someone was willing to join him, but after all, it was his own wishful thinking. A person's growth environment determines a person's character, in order to find out her news, he could have continued to threaten Liu Wei, but in the end he compromised, and he never learned to resist.
"That'...... Can I wait for you and go with you? This time he plucked up the courage to give it a try.
"You want to come to Beijing with me?" She was surprised and asked, why didn't he go.
"I ...... I'm not familiar with this place and want to ...... With you. He stumbled.
It's the same thing, "Okay then, let's go to the capital together." "Anyway, I'll find another opportunity to come out when the time comes.
"Yes!"
They will be able to get to the capital before dusk tomorrow, and they have experienced a lot of things along the way.
Lin Qingran, who came to the room, also thought a lot, what other people and things would she meet when she entered the capital again. For her, the capital is the most familiar and strangest place. I thought that the past would not be brought up again, but when I really have to face it, will I still have the courage I have now?
It was already late at night, and it was very hard to travel in the afternoon, Li Mingyuan did not call Lin Qingran to discuss matters this time, he just called Chen Chong and Liu Wei.
"I've already met with Mrs. Wu, and I've reached a cooperation, so there shouldn't be any problems here." He said.
"At present, I am more worried about the situation in Yangzhou City," Li Mingyuan frowned, and said: "Liu Wei, early tomorrow morning, you will take about ten people and horses, and then go back to Yangzhou City, solve the salt merchant matter with Wang Li as soon as possible, and then rush to the capital together." β
"Yes!"
"As for the rest, let's discuss it when we enter Beijing tomorrow, it's very late today, let's go and rest."
"Yes." The two said.
