Volume 2 Journey to the North Chapter 135 Acting

"Zhong Jing?"

A subtle and elegant voice sounded behind Li Yuejiao and Xue Zhen's car.

Xue Zhen picked up the curtain behind the car, looked at Du Tian who was sitting outside on the side of the donkey cart, and said very unexpectedly:

"Uncle Cousin?"

Li Yuejiao heard that the person outside was Du Day, and when she was about to move to the side of the car unexpectedly, Xue Zhenxian secretly squeezed her hand.

Li Yuejiao glanced at Xue Zhen inexplicably, and her movements were a little slower.

Outside the car, Du Tian asked the coachman to stop the car, put on his dark cloak, jumped out of the car, and said while walking with just the right amount of doubt on his face:

"Is it really Zhong Jing? I heard that you were in the capital a few days ago, and I didn't believe it, but those people spread that they had noses and eyes, so I went to the Hou Mansion in person, but I didn't see you."

As he spoke, the person had already arrived at the car, looked at Xue Zhen's face, his face darkened, and he said with concern, "Why is Zhong Jing's face so bad? Are they telling the truth?"

Without waiting for Xue Zhen to speak, Li Yuejiao had already moved to the side of the car, sat outside behind the curtain, and said to Du Day:

"Uncle Cousin."

When Du Tian saw Li Yuejiao, he was stunned at first, and then he was still kind and gentle as usual, and nodded at Li Yuejiao:

"So my niece and daughter-in-law are there?"

Li Yuejiao saluted him: "Yes, daughter-in-law......

It's just that before she finished answering the question, Xue Zhen stopped her unceremoniously and said to Du Day:

"I went back to Beijing this time because of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and it was inconvenient to publicize it, so I didn't go to visit relatives and friends, and I was in a hurry to return to Beijing, why did my cousin go out of the city at this time?"

Li Yuejiao was robbed of Xue Zhen's words, the corners of her lips drooped downward, as if she was unhappy, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Du Yan glanced at Li Yuejiao kindly, then looked at Xue Zhen and said with a smile:

"I'm going north to find an ancient book, and I was going to leave tomorrow. The little guy came back and said, seeing the carriage of the prince out of the door, I simply came out to take a look. If it is really you, knowing that you are safe, I can walk with you while being relieved; If it weren't for you, I would have to leave, and it would not be impossible to stay for one night at the Wangbei Inn in front."

When Xue Zhen heard him say this, he suddenly smiled and asked, "So that's the case, what kind of ancient books is Uncle Cousin looking for?" How far have you to go?"

Du Yan raised his hand and motioned to the coachman to drive the donkey cart over, and replied, "It's the "Xuangong Collection" written by the famous craftsman Xuanzi of the previous dynasty, and the nephew and daughter-in-law must know it, right?"

He looked at Li Yuejiao again.

When Li Yuejiao heard the title of the book, she raised her head in surprise, and when she heard him ask, she hurriedly said:

"What my daughter-in-law knows, it's just that the "Xuangong Collection" is a hand-me-down classic, not to mention ordinary bookstores, even larger artisan shops also have them, why did my cousin go to the north?"

As she spoke, Xue Zhen's expression faded again, but this time he didn't interrupt her again.

Du Sun explained: "My nephew and daughter-in-law should know that there were as many as 12 volumes of the Xuangong Collection when it was written, but due to the war, only seven volumes have been handed down today. And there is a workshop called Tiangongqiao in Anhua County, and I found out that in the hands of their owner, there are two of the five lost volumes of the "Xuangong Collection". I went back to Beijing this time with the ambition of cultivating the book of the world, so naturally I want to go and see it."

Ingenuity? Shopkeeper Feng?

No way? How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Li Yuejiao didn't know how to react for a while, and almost turned her head to ask Xue Zhen for help, but it was easy to hold back.

She didn't quite understand why Xue Zhen was acting in front of Du Day, after all, she knew that Du Sun was present on the day Xue Zhen's heart attack, so it can be seen that Du Sun should be very clear about Xue and Li.

If you didn't hide it from him before, why hide it now?

But after thinking about it, Xue Zhen has experienced more than himself after all, since he wants to act, he will act first, and then find an opportunity to ask him in the future.

It was because of her that she took out the style of hating Tiangongqiao and the Feng family, smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Oh, it's them......

Immediately, she smiled at Du Sun again, and even the depth of the two dimples was the same, and she only smiled and said:

"So my cousin wants to fix the book? This is a great good thing, and the nephew and daughter-in-law wish my cousin a horse ......."

This time, before she finished speaking, Xue Zhen interrupted her again with an indifferent expression, and only said to Du Day:

"Uncle Cousin is also drummed, it's just a book, so why bother you to run it yourself? It's better to wait until I go back to Anhua County, ask the Feng family for those two books, and send them back to my cousin."

Li Yuejiao, who was gagged twice, was really unhappy this time, and she didn't act, the corners of her mouth drooped, and she glanced at Xue Zhen with a smile, and said:

"Since the prince has so much to say to his cousin, it is better to let my cousin take this car, and I will take my cousin's donkey cart, so that my cousin can stand in the cold ground and blow the wind."

Xue Zhen's face was also gloomy, his gaze swept over Li Yuejiao like a knife, and he scolded: "It's so unruly, I talk to my cousin, and you have the right to intervene?"

Li Yuejiao ignored him, jumped out of the car and walked to the donkey cart.

Du Tian hurriedly stopped her, spread his arms openly, did not touch Li Yuejiao, and said with a smile:

"My niece and daughter-in-law don't have to be like this, I have some bibliographic pen and ink in my car, and I can't be idle on this road."

After that, he said to Xue Zhen angrily, "Zhong Jing is getting more and more stingy now, do you remember what I said to you before?"

Xue Zhen snorted and reluctantly said to Li Yuejiao, "Since you don't like the cold, why don't you get in the car yet, pour a cup of hot tea for your cousin."

Li Yuejiao pursed her lips again, and said deliberately: "The prince didn't break his hand again, he was fine."

After she said this, Xue Zhen, who was pierced in the heart, almost laughed angrily.

Could it be that you are really angry? He thought.

Although Li Yuejiao thought that Xue Zhen made things foggy every time, it was impossible for her to really let a person covered in injuries do things, so she saluted Du Day, returned to the car, and poured tea for Du Day.

Du Yan took the tea, and after thanking Li Yuejiao, he looked at Xue Zhen helplessly again, shook his head and said:

"Zhong Jing, just for a shadowless misunderstanding, how long will it take to make trouble?"

Xue Zhen stretched his face: "Uncle Cousin, don't say it."

Du Yan shook his head helplessly: "Yes, how can Uncle Cousin manage the Hou Shizi of Anyang now, General Zhenbei?"

"Uncle Cousin!" Xue Zhen shouted dissatisfiedly.

Du Yan drank half a cup of hot tea in his hand, covered his hands with the rest, threw away the words and did not mention them, but said: "Since I know your identity, I naturally know that you are the most disgusted with bullying people, how can I let you be charged with running amok in the countryside for the sake of two broken books? Besides, I can only be sincere when I ask for it myself, and Zhong Jing is also a person who reads, so I must not have that rude and disrespectful thought of books."

There was a smile on Xue Zhen's face, but there was some sarcasm in the smile, which made the pale face of the injury finally have a little blood: "It's just a group of craftsmen who record strange thingsYin's skill, what kind of book is it?"

Li Yuejiao, who returned to the carriage, was immediately furious at his words, if she hadn't had a good temper and was afraid that Xue Zhen would be injured, she would have beaten him just because he insulted his skills.

However, because there was a curtain across Du Tian's gaze, Li Yuejiao glared at Xue Zhen angrily, how angry she was.

Xue Zhen just couldn't see it.

"Zhong Jing," Du Tian outside the car also became more and more dissatisfied, and blamed, "The book of the world is nothing more than the four categories of the subset of scriptures and histories, I know you ......

He paused for a moment, and seemed to realize that because Li Yuejiao was present, it was inconvenient to say the rest of the words, so he advised: "Don't say such things again in the future, if you are heard by the imperial history and Hanlin people, you will be blamed."

Xue Zhen smiled disdainfully, not to Du Day, but to those skills that "I can't see because of Tang Ying".

But he still suppressed his temper in front of Du Day, and only said, "I know, it's not too early, I've already asked people to go to Wangbei Inn to rent a room, and my cousin will come with me."

"Naturally, I want to rely on the prestige of the prince," Du Yan said with a smile, "Otherwise, the mountains and rivers are far away, and I am really worried."

Xue Zhen was also amused by him, and ordered the car of four of the guards who had been waiting outside the city to follow Du Yan so that he could take care of it.

The crowd set off again

At that time, Li Yuejiao was still glaring at Xue Zhen angrily, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Xue Zhen pretended not to see it at first, but after a while, he couldn't pretend anymore, looked at Li Yuejiao, and asked as if nothing had happened:

"Why is Madame looking at me like that?"

Li Yuejiao wanted to emphasize to him again, don't call yourself like this, and the words came to her lips:

"I used to look at the world, and I didn't look like a person who loved to play in Golan, but I loved acting so much?"

Xue Zhen was amused by her yin and yang weird appearance, and clutched his chest that was pulled by a smile and said, "What is acting? It's just a stopgap measure."

Li Yuejiao cut off: "It's not acting, it's real? Since the prince looks down on the skills of craftsmen, then the north of the tuntian to build water conservancy, the prince himself to go, why make such a big noise? Or do you want me to have bad relations with others? Expedient, why take the skills of our craftsmen as expedient? If you don't say that word, can the son of the world be struck by lightning?"

She knew that she was being unreasonable at the moment, but she could bear other things, and now that the two of them exchanged news, it was considered to be a practice to investigate things, so she was naturally willing to listen to Xue Zhen's explanation, but when it came to the skills of craftsmen, she admitted it.

Her mother's family are all craftsmen, even though Li Yuejiao has not been good at art since elementary school, her love for skills is nurtured by her grandparents and mother.

Xue Zhen can doubt his mother and himself, but he can't insult the skills of craftsmen in the world.

Xue Zhen was stabbed speechless by her, knowing that she was really angry, he said apologetically, "It's my words that are not inferior, Miss Li is not strange."

Listening to his apology, Li Yuejiao's expression was better, and she leaned over and asked in a low voice:

"Why are you acting with your cousin? Didn't he know that?"

Xue Zhen was about to answer, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping from the north, and soon arrived in front of the carriage.

I heard someone roll into the saddle and fall off the horse, and shouted, "Is it General Xue in the car?"

Xue Zhen's face froze, and he motioned for Li Yuejiao to lift the curtain: "It's the general, what's the matter?"

I saw the sergeant outside kneeling on the ground and said, "General! Anhua County Battle Report! The four sides have won a great victory!"

Li Yuejiao looked at Xue Zhen in surprise.

I saw Xue Zhen's face showing a real relaxation since this period of time.
