Chapter 50: By the Pool
Mrs. Wei sat in Mo Yunxiao's shop with a sad face, looking directly at her best friend opposite.
"Good news, bad news." Mrs. Wei's eyes stared at Mo Yunxiao for a moment: "It's all about Huan'er, which one do you want to listen to first?" ”
Mo Yunxiao's body leaned forward unconsciously, opened a pair of bright eyes, and said urgently: "Anyway, you have to know, let's talk about it." ”
Mrs. Wei was unhurried, picked up the tea bowl in front of her and took a sip, and said slowly: "Huan'er has found it, God is pitiful, she is still in Tokyo and has not been sold elsewhere." ”
"And what about the bad news?" Mo Yunxiao was a little nervous.
Mrs. Wei's face sank and said, "The person who bought her is King Jian, Zhao Yi." ”
"Zhao Si?" Mo Yunxiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
"King Jian is the half-brother of the official family, and he is extremely noble." Mrs. Wei ignored Mo Yunxiao's frivolity, and just introduced her: "The first emperor Yan was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he had no heirs. Therefore he could only choose one of his brothers to sit on the throne. In terms of kinship and legal system, King Jian should be more suitable. ”
Mo Yunxiao's face turned grim and said, "But it wasn't him who took the throne." ”
Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "Yes." Because someone deliberately leaked the news to King Duan, he was allowed to take the lead and come to Da Nei one step earlier to worship the first emperor and meet the queen mother. When King Jian learned the news, the ministers had already bowed to King Duan in the main hall. ”
"Huh?" Mo Yunxiao scratched her head and couldn't help but sigh: "This King Jian is also unlucky enough." But I don't know who leaked the news to Duanwang. ”
Mrs. Wei also shook her head and sighed, and said, "King Jian has a nickname, called 'Dragon in Flowers'. This person is light and lustful, and it is said that every time he goes to someone else's house, he has to choose one or two good-looking dancers to bring back. ”
Speaking of this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Yunxiao, and said, "I'm afraid this Tai Sui is not easy to mess with." ”
Mo Yunxiao also groaned, she understood Mrs. Wei's concerns. If you venture to go to the palace to ask for someone, I am afraid that you will be burned.
She couldn't help but be a little timid. But she suddenly thought again, although Huan'er's appearance is not a country and a city, but she is also a complete beauty embryo. She fell into the palace, how could she remain innocent?
What's more, she still has to wait for the return of the person she wants, although it is far away, but it is always a thought. If she loses herself to King Jian, how will she face Chengyu in the future?
Thinking of this, Mo Yunxiao's heart was full of pride. She couldn't care too much about it anymore, so she said, "But I'm going to make trouble." ”
Her words greatly surprised Mrs. Wei. She never doubted Mo Yunxiao's courage, but she was by no means a person who was brave.
Besides, since she fell into the water, the wildness has subsided a lot, and I don't think that today is the same again.
"Helu, you have to think twice." Mrs. Wei held her hand with concern and advised, "King Jian is not an official family. He blindly acted absurdly, whether it was Kaifeng Mansion, the Imperial City Division of Soldiers and Horses, or Lantai, he was just silent. If you go to him, he will possess him. At that time, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. ”
Mo Yunxiao smiled with relief and said, "Yuru, I naturally understand your intentions. But I treat the ring as well as you treat me. She's behind prison because of me. How can I sit idly by? If one day, my little sister is also arrested, Yuru, you will also come to save me, right? ”
Mrs. Wei was silent for a long time before nodding slowly.
She looked up at her, suddenly smiled, and said, "Good girl, you can be regarded as yourself." However, to deal with that 'dragon in flowers', you can't just be brutal, you have to have a plan. ”
Mo Yunxiao stood up, put her hands behind her back, and paced in contemplation. After a while, she had already figured it out, and whispered to Mrs. Wei.
The more Mrs. Wei listened, the more surprised she became. She first covered her mouth and snickered, then looked puzzled, and hurriedly whispered to her: "No, no, what kind of system." ”
"Oh Yuru, listen to me." Mo Yunxiao also said while laughing.
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Wei still looked at her with a look of surprise and said, "Helu, your layers of design are really impressive." ”
Mo Yunxiao sat down again, took a big sip of tea, and said, "Born in this world, how can you live without a little plan." ”
Mrs. Wei nodded heavily, expressing her approval of what she said.
That night, by the Jinming Pool. Mo Yunxiao looked at the rippling lake with a little light in the pool, and sat on a rockery.
It was still a little cold, and she tightened her goose feather coat. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, giving itself a quiet little world. But if this world only belongs to oneself, how good it would be. She wished she had walked here by herself, feeling the moist air and the cold evening breeze, dilating the pores and completely emptying her mind.
However, this world does not belong to her alone, or even to her at all. Except for major festivals such as the Shangyuan Festival, Jinming Pond is never open to the public. The reason why she was able to come here was all because of a "gold medal in the city".
said that it was a gold medal, but in fact, it was just a relatively delicate small wooden card. It was Mrs. Wei who asked her husband to ask the official Zhao Ji for it. With a gold medal in hand, in addition to the Ouchi Palace, Mo Yunxiao can travel unhindered in the city of Tokyo.
At this time, she carefully looked at the gold medal, and the front was engraved with the word "Guocheng" in standard regular script, and the back was engraved with the four big characters "given by the royal family".
"Huh! The workmanship is also very average. She teased softly. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her: "Compared to Miss Mo's 'thin gold body', the words on the gold medal are naturally nothing more than that." ”
"Ahh Mo Yunxiao was frightened. She looked back and saw that it was Zhao Ji standing behind her, and Zhang Di with a lantern came with him.
Mo Yunxiao looked at the two of them, and said quite dissatisfiedly: "Why are you walking silently." It's going to scare people to death on this big night! ”
"Childe, she's too ......" Zhang Di was about to hug upset, but Zhao Ji preemptively said to Mo Yunxiao: "We saw that the girl was intoxicated by this lake and landscape, and we couldn't bear to disturb it. ”
"Humph!" Mo Yunxiao glared at him angrily, and then said, "I only asked you out." ”
The implication is that Zhang Di shouldn't come.
"How can it be!" Zhang Di couldn't suppress his anger: "Mo Yunxiao, don't deceive people too much!" ”
Zhao Ji also helped him explain: "Zhang Di and I have been inseparable since childhood. If I come to see the girl alone, he will be troubled. ”
"Anyway, I'm talking to you and don't like to have a third person present." Mo Yunxiao looked at the lake and said.
Zhao Ji hesitated slightly, and then said to Zhang Di: "You go outside and wait for me." ”
"Childe, do you really want to listen to her?" Zhang Di was indignant.
Zhao Ji took the lantern in his hand and said with a smile: "Go ahead, have two glasses of wine with the guards outside Jin Mingchi, and I'll be back soon." ”
Zhang Di was so angry that his face was red and his ears were red, and he was at a loss. In his heart, there was a trace of jealousy towards Mo Yunxiao that was not very common between the opposite sex.
He glared at Mo Yunxiao fiercely, and found that the latter was looking at him innocently, which made him even more angry in his heart. "Wandering Hoof! What a white and flawless outfit! He cursed in his heart, turned his head and left.
Zhao Ji held the lantern, and when he saw that Zhang Di was far away, he quietly approached Mo Yunxiao and asked, "What is the reason why Miss Mo asked me to come to see me today?" ”
Zhao Ji's eyes were blazing, and there was infinite spring light in his eyes.
Mo Yunxiao was a little weak-hearted, averted his gaze, and said, "Perhaps, you won't see me again for a long time in the future." Last time I left Zeng's Mansion, I didn't tell you, so I told you to run away a few times. Then I can tell you solemnly this time, and I hope you don't be surprised. ”
After she finished speaking, she hurried away with her head down, with a shyness on her face. This is not her deliberate posture, but the most ordinary manifestation of a girl.
Zhao Ji was a little puzzled, and hurriedly caught up and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to do something very important." Mo Yunxiao said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to involve you." ”
Zhao Ji saw that she said solemnly, and her heart was also tight, so she hurriedly reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Is there anything in the world that I can't do?" If you tell me that you know everything, I will help you do it. ”
Mo Yunxiao looked at him sideways, with a little gratitude in her eyes.
But she still broke free of Zhao Ji's hand, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Zhao Gongzi, thank you for your kindness." It's just that many things can't be done with just one passion. Besides, I'm just a country girl, how can I bother you so much? If you really want to help me, please help my brothers and sisters more during my absence. ”
"What about you?" Zhao Ji showed a worried look, and couldn't help but take a step closer and said, "Where should I go to find you?" ”
Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly, raised her head and pointed in the direction of the moon, and said, "Look, have you heard Su Dongpo's "Water Tune Song Head"? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. This matter is difficult to complete. There are some things that cannot be forced. ”
Zhao Ji also smiled slightly and said, "Do you know that there are still two sentences in this que." I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
Mo Yunxiao was already in tears. She had spoken these words to Song Mingxuan, but the scene at that time was reversed.
Now, when she heard Zhao Ji say the words "I wish people a long time and a thousand miles together", she couldn't help but move in her heart. It's just that at this moment, Song Mingxuan's face appeared in front of her eyes again. That delicate and slightly sad face came alive, which made her mood surge again.
Zhao Ji saw that she was silent, thinking that her true feelings had touched her, so she took a step closer and reached out to shake Mo Yunxiao's hand. But Mo Yunxiao's hands were cold. As soon as Zhao Ji came into contact, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and retreated.
Mo Yunxiao raised her slightly smiling face and said, "Zhao Gongzi, you and I will see you again." Just not today. ”
She turned and walked away. But Zhao Ji was unwilling to let go, and hurriedly chased after him and said, "You left like this, how can I feel at ease?" ”
Mo Yunxiao paused, and Zhao Ji was caught off guard and almost bumped into her, so he had to stop quickly.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Mo Yunxiao knew that he was really in a hurry, so he said, "It's okay for me to tell you, but you can't make troubles and harm my business." ”
"Okay," Zhao Ji agreed. At this moment, he only begged Mo Yunxiao to tell him what happened, and ignored everything else.
"You have a brother who is called the 'Dragon in the Flower' by the people of the rivers and lakes, right?" Mo Yunxiao asked.
Zhao Ji's face changed slightly. King Jian and he once competed for the throne, and the brotherhood had long been gone, but at this moment he had to nod and say, "Not bad." ”
Mo Yunxiao also nodded and said, "That's it." A few days ago, he happened to pass by our teahouse, and after seeing me, he showed an obscene look, saying that he wanted to accept me as a princess. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Ji suddenly changed color, and asked very solemnly: "Is this true?" ”
"What am I lying to you for?" Mo Yunxiao also replied simply: "Your brother's character, I'm afraid you know better than me." ”
"And what do you say?" Zhao Ji asked with great concern.
Mo Yunxiao sighed and said, "He is a royal nobleman, and I am just a flat-headed commoner, how can I get by?" ”
As she spoke, she turned around again and walked slowly.
"What about you...... Then you ......" Zhao Ji also followed behind her, looking at a loss: "You promised him?" ”
Mo Yunxiao didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Zhao Ji was stunned on the spot, and the blood in his body seemed to be coagulated.
If it were someone else, he would definitely come forward to obstruct it, but King Jian couldn't ignore it. Although he took the lead in the competition for the throne, after all, the time is still young and the wings have not yet been achieved. If you break with King Jian for the sake of a woman, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble.
But how could he see his loved one marry his brother? And this younger brother has a very delicate relationship with himself.
Zhao Ji was caught in a painful dilemma. His countenance was also slightly distorted by the agitation.
Mo Yunxiao paced on the side and said, "I know that you have a deep affection for me, but I also know the disagreement between you and King Jian. I don't want your brothers to turn against me, do you understand my thoughts? ”
Zhao Ji was silent. For the first time, he felt a heavy sense of powerlessness.
"Alas, it's really a trick." Mo Yunxiao seemed to be adding fuel to the fire: "If God wants me to marry King Jian, why should I know you?" I know you, so why do you want King Jane to see me......"
"Big girl!" Zhao Ji stopped her. There was a slight tremor in his voice, apparently trying to suppress his excitement: "I will never give you away." ”
"But you ......" Mo Yunxiao showed an anxious look, leaned over and said, "But you should be wise to protect yourself." How can you ...... for me?"
Zhao Ji gently covered her mouth and said, "I already understand your intentions." There is only one way to do this. ”
"What?" Mo Yunxiao blinked a pair of big eyes and looked at him curiously.
"Let's give Zhou Gong a gift first and do good things. Even if King Jian is lustful, he should not covet other people's wives. ”
Zhao Ji's words were really shocking. "Huh?" This time it was Mo Yunxiao's turn to be at a loss.
Zhao Ji put the lantern aside and said: "Come, it's here, it's just tonight when the moon is in the sky, the lake is clear, we take the sky as the quilt, and the earth as the seat, with the reality of husband and wife, so that others can retreat." Come on! ”
As he spoke, he was about to undress. Mo Yunxiao hurriedly stopped: "Don't don't, Zhao Gongzi, I didn't mean that, don't be so impulsive." ”
"I'm not impulsive. If you want me to see you marry into King Jian's mansion, it will be worse than killing me. As he spoke, he also reached over to take off Mo Yunxiao's clothes.
Mo Yunxiao: "Ah! The ground screamed, got up and kicked Zhao Ji in the lower abdomen, and kicked him directly to the ground.
Mo Yunxiao couldn't smile bitterly, wanted to apologize but stammered and couldn't speak, so he had to ignore the thirty-seven twenty-one, and ran out.
Zhang Di and the guards were drinking and eating roast chicken, and when they saw Mo Yunxiao running out in embarrassment, they couldn't help but sneer and said, "If you are so unserious, you still want to enter the palace gate?" ”
