It was getting noon, and everyone on the ship was eating and resting in their rooms. Zhou Zhenzhen was also sitting in the cabin. Men come and go carrying boxes in and out.

Zhou Zhenzhen got up and stood in the aisle. She flashed sideways, and the oncoming guy also subconsciously dodged. Zhou Zhenzhen inadvertently glanced at the wooden boxes, the bottom of the boxes was still dripping with water, and the boxes were already half wet.

She looked sideways, and the men carried the wooden boxes all the way to the end of the cabin.

She thought for a moment before leaving the cabin and standing on deck.

The lake is rippling, and the sun is empty. There were only individual visitors on the deck.

Zhou Zhenzhen carefully looked at them, and there was nothing wrong with them. She stretched out her fingers and slid across the plank, as if groping for something.

Sure enough, she fingered, touched the familiar secret mark, and had a certain number in her heart.

"Boatman, how long do we have to get to Huzhou?" She looked up at the boat boss who was standing at the bow of the boat munching on dry rations.

The captain of the boat saw that it was Zhou Zhenzhen, and he also happily replied: "It will take half a day at the earliest." Don't worry, girl, you'll be there before dark. ”

Zhou Zhenzhen just smiled and didn't speak again. She put on her hat and went into the cabin.

……

The city of Shangjing in the west of sunset is still bustling, and the small stall vendors do not seem to have the intention of going home, but shouting more vigorously.

At the gate of the city, Zhou Yichen helped Li Jingwen limp over.

The two looked at the long street with no end in sight and were extremely happy.

"Li Langjun, we're finally back!" Zhou Yichen said with a crying voice.

Li Jingwen looked sideways and said gently: "We are lucky to catch up with the temple fair."

"Is it the day of celebration after the sacrifice? I've never seen it before. ”

Li Jingwen was stunned for a moment, quite surprised, "Isn't the girl from Shangjing?" How come you haven't heard of a temple fair? ”

"I am a concubine in the family, and my father and mother never let me go out to see things like my eldest sister. This is the first time I've seen a temple fair. ”

"Then your father and mother are quite visionary, putting such a smart girl at home."

Zhou Yichen's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Jingwen like a savior.

He smiled lightly and continued, "The girl is smart, and she is by no means the kind of person who will be trapped in the backyard for the rest of her life. We will be able to make a difference in the future. I'm a person who knows people and speaks accurately. ”

"Thank you Lang Jun for your leniency." Zhou Yichen's face was full of gratitude.

This is the first time that he has been affirmed for such a big appearance.

Zhou Yichen glanced at his injuries and was no longer polite, and immediately helped him back into the city to find the medical hall.

And in the city, the Zhou family and the East Palace are even more devoted to finding the two of them. The Zhou family disappeared two girls in a row, and their centers were even more sour.

Inside the medical hall.

"Doctor, how is he? It shouldn't be a big deal, right? Zhou Yichen asked nervously.

"Fortunately, it was delivered in time, the wound was not infected, and the girl's bandaging skills were still good. I'll prescribe some medicine for this Langjun now, and I'll be fine after drinking it for three days. The doctor took out a white porcelain bottle from the medicine box and handed it to her, and continued: "This is an external ointment, apply it to the wound three times a day, remember that the wound should not be wet. ”

Zhou Yichen took it with a smile, "Thank you, doctor." ”

The doctor nodded, turned around and went to the pharmacy next door to prescribe medicine. Zhou Yichen walked back to Li Jingwen's side and sat down next to the bed.

"You also heard what the doctor said, so I won't nag. After a while, I will send Li Langjun home. You've been missing for a day and a night, and your family must be worried. ”

Li Jingwen fastened his belt and asked, "Have you never been curious about my identity?" Nothing you want to ask? ”

Zhou Yichen looked at him and blinked, "Lang Jun is smart, wise and extraordinary, and his family must be a powerful person in Beijing." ”

Li Jingwen smiled, "My family has been in business for generations, and the family has quite a lot of assets and power...... Not really. “

Zhou Yichen nodded, as if he understood.

Seeing her like this, Li Jingwen decisively chose to divert the topic.

"There is a temple fair tonight, and the capital will be very lively, why don't you go for a walk with Miss Zhou?"

"Huh? But I ......"

"Are you in trouble?"

Zhou Yichen said worriedly, "I have never been away from home for so long, and I am afraid that if I don't go back in time after I get out, I will be punished by my father." ”

"Are they you?"

"Daddy basically doesn't care about me when he doesn't come home all the year round, only Grandma takes care of me tightly, and I'm a little afraid of her."

Li Jingwen comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll send you home first when we're done having fun." If your father and mother want to punish you, you will say that you are with Li Jingwen, report my name, and believe that your father will definitely protect you. ”

Zhou Yichen was even more confused when she said this, but it sounded a little reasonable, and she had never seen the temple fair, so she agreed after thinking about it.

The sunset soon sets in the west, and the capital city is really lively after nightfall.

The dancing girls of the music square compete for beauty, and the inn wine shop is overcrowded. Under the deep tiles of the red wall is a field of singing and dancing, juggling, quizzes and lanterns in the tiles, as well as all kinds of snacks on the long street. The night night is long, and the night sky is lit up by clusters of fireworks, which is extremely gorgeous. On the moat, the boatmen shouted, and the blessing lanterns floated down the current into the distance.

Zhou Yichen and Li Jingwen came out of the garment workshop, and both of them changed into new clothes, and soon integrated into the excitement.

At the tea stall, a black-clothed guard with a sword glanced at Li Jingwen, and the two exchanged an inscrutable glance with each other as if they had discussed. The guard had not finished his cup of tea before he picked up his sword and left. Li Jingwen walked behind Zhou Yichen and looked around, and the eyeliner around him was all in place.

Zhou Yichen walked in front happily, like a canary released from a cage. Li Jingwen had already carried a lot of things in his hands and still followed her.

"Li Langjun, look! What a beautiful fan! ”

Zhou Yichen couldn't walk again.

Li Jingwen smiled faintly when she saw her holding a fan and looked at it, and asked, "Do you like it?" ”

"Hmmm! The begonias on this fan are my sister's favorite, but it seems that something is missing? ”

Li Jingwen stepped forward, looked at it, and said, "There is a lack of calligraphy and painting." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Yichen realized it later.

Her gaze swept over the stall and finally settled on the inkstone beside her. She took the pen and wrote on the folding fan—

Empty shadow is more than empty shadow,

The smoke willow pavilion is growing day by day,

I'm afraid to hear the sound of floating in the sky,

There is an appointment with a beautiful woman smiling and graceful.

The sideburns and begonias are the same,

It's just a spring breeze with a smile.

Carrying the red juan lightly,

The first floor is independent.

Li Jingwen saw that she was confident, and gently put down the pen in his hand and stayed on the fan to admire, but he didn't seem to understand the meaning of the poem.

"Miss Zhou, what is the artistic conception of this poem?"

Zhou Yichen put away the folding fan and replied: "I wrote it blindly, mainly to praise my sister." ”

She took out five copper plates from her waist and handed them to the stall owner, buying the folding fan.

"You paid really fast, and I said that I will pay for all the expenses today."

"It's already made you very expensive tonight, not to mention that this is a gift I want to give to my sister, it's not suitable for you to buy it."

Zhou Yichen patiently explained to him, Li Jingwen nodded, and the two walked side by side.

Li Jingwen peeked at her and asked tentatively, "You should have a good relationship with your sister, right?" ”

"Of course, from childhood to adulthood, Sister Ah is the one who loves me the most, she will give me any good things first, and she will follow me first if she has delicious and fun things. Every time I make my aunt angry, my sister covers me, and my sister takes a lot of beatings in me! ”

Li Jingwen smiled, "So you often got into trouble when you were a child?" ”

She shook her head, "I'm a concubine, and my aunt has been very strict with me since I was a child, and being beaten is a common thing." ”

Hearing these words, Li Jingwen's eyes rarely showed a touch of distress and sadness, and he seemed to see himself when he was a child through Zhou Yichen.

Although he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, but this identity often overwhelms him. He can't play as wantonly as children of the same age, and his childhood memories are only two places, the palace and the east palace, the daily school, and the martial arts training ground. The father wants to test his homework, and the emperor's grandfather also wants to test his homework, and if he can't answer, he will inevitably be ridiculed again.

Li Jingwen was distracted, and wandered around with Zhou Yichen, and unconsciously came to Wanfangyuan so quickly.

He stopped and looked into the garden. Zhou Yichen also stopped and followed his gaze to look inside.

"This is the largest theater in Shangjing, and it is a royal place." Zhou Yichen explained.

Li Jingwen seemed to think of something, and asked, "Miss Zhou, have you ever been here?" ”

Zhou Yichen shook his head.

Li Jingwen retracted his gaze, faced her, and said, "Then let's go in and listen to the music, I heard that the musicians here are among the best musicians." ”

Zhou Yichen was dumbfounded, and his face turned red after reacting. She lowered her head and said carefully: "It's not appropriate for me to go to this place, if Lang Jun wants to go......

Li Jingwen looked at her sideways, knowing that she wanted to be crooked, and sneered.

"Where do you think you're going! You think I'm going in for fun? ”

Zhou Yichen looked at him and didn't speak.

"Today's temple fair, these places belonging to the royal family will be open to ordinary people, and if they are placed in normal times, they will not have such a good opportunity. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and it's not a loss for us to go in and listen to a song. ”

"Okay then."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into Wanfangyuan together.

Li Jingwen asked for an elegant room and placed Zhou Yichen properly.

"Miss Zhou, you take a rest first, and I'll go see what repertoire there is in the park tonight."

"Okay." Zhou Yichen nodded obediently and watched Li Jingwen leave the private room.

……

"Your Highness!" The black-clothed guard who had just connected with Li Jingwen at the tea stall jumped in front of him at this moment.

"Everyone's here?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, the entire Wanfang Garden is surrounded by our people, ensuring that not a single fly can fly out."

He led the way for Li Jingwen, and the two walked into a side room on the corner of the second floor one after the other.

"Your Highness, why did you bring General Zhou's daughter here? Will she be here to the detriment of our plans? ”

Li Jingwen poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said: "What disadvantage will there be for a little girl who has no power to restrain the chicken." You send a few people to protect her secretly, find a reason to send her home before we start, and be sure to hand them over to General Zhou and explain them to him. Zhou Yichen saved the king, but he couldn't let the girl be punished inexplicably. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." He was stunned, and suddenly figured it out again, "Your Highness has been taking Miss Zhou to see if General Zhou is secretly involved in the grain and grass corruption case?" ”

"Qin Song, it's good to hide some words in your heart."

Qin Song nodded.

He took another sip of tea and asked, "What about Shen Yanbai?" ”

"I was in the palace, and I never went out of the dormitory since I came back, and I kept shouting that I was infected with the wind cold, and now I haven't even gotten up. His Majesty's mercy has summoned the imperial physician for him. ”

Li Jingwen sneered, "He is at ease, looking for clues, he doesn't check it himself, and leaves all the physical work to this king." ”

"And what does His Highness plan to do with him?"

"Disposition? Why did the king dispose of him? If he can catch the man who smuggles grain and grass tonight, he will be one of the heroes. ”
