Jiangzhou in Jiangnan Province is located on the main road of water transportation on the Yangtze River.

The northern section of the river basin that flows through this place is also known as the Xunyang River.

This section of the river is turbid and yellow, and the sediment is gradually increasing, but it is one of the most prosperous waterways in Jiangnan Province, and there are many merchant ships.

The boat passed through Xunyang City, and then the scenery on both sides of the river suddenly opened up.

However, compared with the wide banks of the plains, the rolling river is quite crowded:

Hundreds of boats compete for the stream, those who strive first, and thousands of sails compete.

Today's spring is bright, the swallows on both sides of the river are green, the mud and sand are rolling, and the sun is shining on the Xunyang River, there is a magnificent and majestic ship sailing towards the wind, and the keel breaks the waves.

Its bow is towering, the dragon head carving is lifelike, the flag is fluttering, the cabin interior is exquisite and luxurious, and the carving style is diverse, all showing the official style.

On the river, other cargo ships carrying the banner of a merchant and the private ships of large families are overshadowed by them.

Moreover, it seems that the official flag fluttering on this ship was discovered, and the ships gave way one after another, and no one dared to fight.

During this period, the experienced shopkeeper of the Nanhai and North Running Merchants was sharp-eyed, and when he passed by, he saw that the crew members of the official ship walking in the middle of the Xunyang River were all well-trained, solemn and solemn, and walked steadily.

Some people can't help but secretly say:

"The special ship of the Jiangnan Provincial Observation Envoy is escorted by the elite soldiers of Zhichong Mansion, what kind of noble person is this carrying, and where is it going? Could it be that it is a holy decree? ”

Naturally, these questions go unanswered.

This official ship, which was transferred in Jiangzhou City, witnessed by Jiangzhou Thorn Shi himself, and escorted by the soldiers of the Third Fold Chong Prefecture of Jiangnan Province, sailed all the way to the direction of Longcheng County.

At this moment, there are several windward figures on the bow of the ship.

"Sister Miaozhen, please, just reveal it a little, what kind of gift is in this brocade box that my aunt gave her? My brother is like a cat scratching in my heart. ”

There was a woman's voice that was colder than the river breeze:

"Wei Gongzi is not dying, Your Majesty's gifts dare to inquire, if you are told to the emperor, your father will not be able to protect you, this is not the Wei Palace, Wei Gongzi is better to speak leisurely."

"Sister Miaozhen's heart is Bodhisattva, she will definitely not sue! I still trust my brother. ”

Miaozhen, the female official in the colorful dress, frowned slightly, and glanced at the young man in soap clothes who was squatting next to him with a hippie smile, who was carrying a plump pear in his hand, and lowered his head to sniff from time to time, but he didn't keep his mouth shut, and just talked nonsense.

In the face of this kind of suit, Miao Zhen, who was dressed in a crimson palace suit, raised her chin slightly, looked at the Dragon City realm that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and reminded lightly:

"Wei Gongzi, don't shout nonsense, disaster comes from your mouth."

The young man surnamed Wei, who was squatting on the ground and wiping honey with his small mouth, smiled disapprovingly, opened his mouth and took a bite of the pear in his hand, he was dressed in a luxurious purple soap suit, but he seemed to be basking in the sun all year round, his skin was a little dark, and his face was good, but as a man, he had a pair of peach blossom eyes, which looked quite feminine and girly.

"Sister Miaozhen, where are you talking about this?"

The bright smile of the young man surnamed Wei remained unchanged, and on the way to nibble on the pear, he glanced at the cold middle-aged female official next to him who was actually older than his biological mother from a concubine, and said with a smile:

"Hey, Sister Miaozhen just called the little brother Shaoxuan, what is the son is not a son, it's too outside, the book says that the same is a stranger in a foreign land, and thinks of relatives every festival, although the little brother and sister are not relatives, and it is not a festival now, but they are all Luoyang 'fellow villagers', isn't it? What's wrong with being kind? ”

Miao Zhen nodded lightly: "The pure family style of the Wei Palace, the profound family knowledge, the concubine body has seen it today." ”

Wei Shaoxuan chewed the pear, shrugged his shoulders, and said unconcernedly:

"My sister smiled, my younger brother I am different from the eldest brothers who danced and wrote, I don't like to read in my life, and I don't calm down, I follow my father-in-law everywhere on weekdays, and I like the rough scenery of the desert frontier."

Wei Shaoxuan, the sixth in the family, squatted on the bow of the boat, tilted his head and smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

Miao Zhen didn't bother to look at him, and looked sideways slightly, and glanced at the man with the back box who had been silent since he got on the boat, not far from the two.

This strong man was about forty or fifty years old, fat and thick, with dark and rough skin, like a cropper facing the loess with his back to the sky, and his body was very stocky, and from a distance, he looked like a quadrangular body.

The dress is also very strange, wearing a short-sleeved linen dress with braids on the temples, not like the Han family.

His face was calm at the moment, and he had a long purple and black wooden box on his back, with a simple body and lines, and he didn't know what to load.

Miao Zhen raised his hand and pointed afar: "This is Wei Gongzi's father-in-law?" The concubine thought it was a guard. ”

Wei Shaoxuan's smiling face remained unchanged, and he gnawed on the pear and said inarticulately:

"My father-in-law is a person from the northern frontier, I have been in the army for a long time, and I don't like to talk much, and I am also like this in front of my father, but Sister Miaozhen can rest assured, my father-in-law has always treated people with sincerity, he is a real rectum, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, rough and enthusiastic, and everyone he knows is praised!"

"Yes." Miao Zhen didn't believe the nonsense that came out of the mouth of this Wei prince.

She looked sideways, the qi on the back box man was like a waveless ancient well, and some rumors and speculations faintly appeared in Miaozhen's heart, and she asked casually:

"Your father-in-law is dressed like this, Xianbei people? There are a lot of frontiers, what is the surname? ”

Wei Shaoxuan sighed and looked sad:

"Hey, how can Sister Miaozhen inquire about the details of my father-in-law, ask about marriage on a blind date, it's a pity that my father-in-law doesn't love beauties, or Sister Miaozhen should ask my brother more about my situation, I know everything!"

Miao Zhen didn't bother to reply to him.

"Qiu Qi."

The man with the back box suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Surname Qiu?" Miao Zhen turned his face and suddenly asked: "What is the relationship with the Wei Wangfu Keqing, the top soldier Qi Practitioner Qiu Shenji?" ”

The man with the back box turned a deaf ear.

Wei Shaoxuan waved his arm, swinging quickly in front of Miaozhen, trying to attract attention, and interjected:

"What is that kind of uncle doing here, Sister Miaozhen doesn't know, my father and several uncles and uncles in the mansion are busy cleaning up the mess of the Yingzhou Rebellion, how can you have the time to hang out here, my sister has a lot of imagination haha.

"And didn't you say it earlier, let's come over this time, just like my sister, you help your aunt give gifts, it's also a gift, they are all relatives, you have to give one, don't you?"

The corners of Miaozhen's lips pulled up: "Give a unique Mo family sword box?" ”

Wei Shaoxuan's eyes changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, got up and patted his sleeves:

"My sister has good eyesight, but I misunderstood, the sword box was given to me by my father, young man, it's normal to have a sword, this Luoyang man, who doesn't want to carry a sword to the north. A gift for that family, among other things. ”

Miao Zhen stared at the weird combination of father and son for a moment, and shook his head, "Oh. ”

Seems to have lost interest...... She came on the orders of Her Majesty the Empress, and she didn't have much friendship with the Wei family who were rubbing boats and cars, so she didn't have to please or offend, and the Wei family's current situation was very complicated.

Miao Zhen's eyes lowered, ignoring Wei Shaoxuan's self-acquaintance, and turned back to the cabin.

In the cabin, a group of palace maids with serious faces and strict guards guarded a carved brocade box.

In front of this gift from the Son of Heaven, Miao Zhen stood still with his hands in his hands, watching coldly, and he didn't know how long it took, and whispered:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Royal Highness, it's a coincidence, Your Majesty chose a concubine to come, should the concubine call your Highness, or...... What about shouting idle lang? ”

At the bow of the boat, only Wei Shaoxuan and the man who claimed to be Qiu Qi were left.

"Rokuro talks too much." Qiu Qi said.

Wei Shaoxuan rubbed his face and put away his hippie smile.

The pear smashed the river in a parabola in the air, and the young man's face was indifferent, standing in the wind: "Yes, I am getting closer and closer to that sword furnace, and my emotions are a little difficult to suppress." ”

He turned his face to look at the Mo family's sword box that had arrived as agreed, and suddenly smiled and showed his white teeth: "This time, I bothered my father-in-law, and carried the sword away for me." ”

Half a day later.

The grand fleet arrived at Penglangdu.

Under the curious and lively onlookers of the people of Longcheng, Miao Zhen led a group of palace people to slowly get off the boat, board the carriage, and take Luming Street directly under the support of the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion, with a clear goal.

Before leaving the ferry, the woman in a crimson palace dress lifted the curtain and glanced at the stairs behind her.

The two Wei people, who were accompanying the boat all the way, did not know where to go.

Miao Zhen frowned and lowered the curtains, her brows loosened.

The rules of survival in the empress's deep palace for many years told her:

Except that evil comes from the mouth.

It's not a nossy matter, and it's not too much to care.

……

"The lady in the dress next to Your Majesty? This is no ordinary palace person...... Blue, crimson, and purple palace clothes, what color is the clothes of the leading female official? ”

In the Yanai of Longcheng County, Ouyang Rong, who heard the news, stood up, silently rummaged through the vague memories in his mind, and asked with his eyebrows.

"It's like a dark crimson color."

"The light scarlet seventh, the deep scarlet sixth, that is the sixth-grade female official! is higher than the officials, why did Luoyang send them here? ”

Ouyang Rong's eyelids jumped, and he said with a headache.

Diao County Cheng and other officials looked at each other and were silent.

Ouyang Rong raised his hand and put on his official hat, passed by them, and strode out, frowning:

"Forget it, where are the people now, it should be a convenient waterway and get off the boat at Penglangdu, how far is it from the county office, go to open the main gate, and prepare to pick up people."

Ouyang Rong resumed his vigorous and resolute style, but Diao County, who was embarrassed, stammered and said something that made him pause:

"Mingfu...... The envoys from Luoyang have just passed by our county office. ”

"Huh?"

They ignored the lower officials who went out to greet them, and went straight to the depths of Luming Street.

Ouyang Rong asked curiously, "Is this knowing that I live in Merlot Garden?" Didn't you tell them that the official was on duty at the county office? ”

Diao Xiancheng wanted to speak and stopped: "No...... It's not Merlot Garden, Ming Mansion, they seem to have gone to the Su Mansion next door to you. ”

Ouyang Rong was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed suddenly, and the weather was uncertain.

Diao Xiancheng looked at the young county magistrate who seemed to be in a daze, and couldn't help but call: "What's wrong with you in Mingfu?" ”

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and murmured: "No......"

He raised his face to look at Diao Xiancheng and the others, and suddenly rushed out of the county hall without saying a word.

"Mingfu, what's wrong with you? Wait, let's ......," Diao Xiancheng and others chased and shouted.

Ouyang Rong didn't wait for them, and after a while, he hurried to the door of the Su Mansion with his official hat crooked.

At this moment, the main gate of this deep mansion compound, which used to be closed, was wide open.

The strange scene of crowding in front of the door, but surprisingly silent, made the corners of Ouyang Rong's eyes twitch.

It seems to have guessed correctly.
