Chapter 30 Wang Jie strayed into the princess's arms

I haven't seen Wang Jie for several days, and Lou Yue misses him very much.

Early this morning, Lou Yue got up early in the morning to freshen up and dress up, planning to go to Guiyifang to find Wang Jie. As soon as he went downstairs, he suddenly saw Lou Quan carrying a cowhide package into the house, and sighed lightly: "Really, who left something behind......

Lou Yue took the package and looked at it, there were two stone seals inside, heavy. She thought about returning it when the owner came to the door, so she casually placed the seal on the table in the corner.

Lou Yue walked briskly all the way to Guiyifang, and saw that she was fifty or sixty steps away from Wang Jie's house, and suddenly saw Wang Jie, accompanied Princess Pingyu, and the two walked over talking and laughing, and took a carriage and drove away.

Lou Yue was immediately stunned when she saw it, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she was cold from head to toe. It turned out that Wang Jie agreed to Li Yu's request, and in order to thank Pingyu for saving her life, he went to Jinxian Guan to practice the piano with her.

When he arrived at the Golden Immortal Temple, Wang Jie followed Ping Yu into an elegant room. The room is filled with smoke and a charming aroma, and a guqin is placed in the center. Wang Jie didn't say much, sat down next to the piano, and concentrated on playing.

Ping Yuwu poured himself a cup of tea, listened absentmindedly, and took a few sips of tea from time to time.

Wang Jie played seven or eight tunes in a row, and gradually felt that his fingers were a little numb, so he stopped, got up and moved his arms, looked up at the sky, and wanted to leave.

Ping Yu's eyes stared at him motionlessly, and said, "Don't go, Childe, I'm going to enjoy the moon with you tonight." ”

"No, my father is still healing, and I will decoct medicine for him when I go back."

"Well," Ping Yuyan smiled, "Childe wait a moment, there is a gift for you." ”

Ping Yu said and walked to the corner of the wall, pulled off the jade and white brocade on it, and said, "This zither, can the son know the goods?" ”

Wang Jie stepped forward to take a closer look at it, and said excitedly: "Well, the golden emblem and jade pillow on this zither are indeed antiquities, and they are worth a lot of money." ”

"To tell you the truth, this zither is the beloved thing of the Sui Emperor of the previous dynasty."

Ping Yu said and picked up the zither and walked to the window, gently put it on the table, and said, "Childe plays another song, and this zither will be yours." ”

Wang Jie hesitated a little when he heard this.

Ping Yu pretended to sprain her arm and asked Wang Jie to help her knead it to relieve the pain.

Wang Jie couldn't shirk it, closed his eyes and pressed it a few times. Ping Yu teased him again and put his hand on his chest.

Wang Ji was stunned for a moment, then moved away again, and said, "Your Highness is self-respecting." I'm just practicing with you, that's all. ”

Ping Yu Shuangfeng trembled slightly, his pink cheeks were shy, and he complained: "Childe is also a person who has seen the world, why bother to be so pretentious, don't you want to be named on the gold list?" ”

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

"If Childe wants to be among the top three, only I can help him!" Ping Yu said and hugged Wang Jie, "Childe has to think about it." ”

Wang Jie was a little uneasy, staring out the window and silent.

Ping Yu called Ning Xin to the door and ordered a cup of hot tea.

Ning Xin understood, and immediately brought up the tea that had been brewed with aphrodisiacs in advance and handed it to Wang Jie.

Wang Jie was unsuspecting, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Ping Yu was secretly happy when he saw it, and said, "Childe don't worry, I'll leave the matter of winning the list to me." ”

"No need, Your Highness;" Wang Jie's face was solemn, "Whether you are on the list or not has your own destiny." ”

"I'm good for you." Ping Yu waved his hand as he spoke, signaling Ning Xin to retreat, and only she and Wang Jie were left in the room.

Ping Yu gently hugged his arm and kept stroking it, saying some provocative words.

The aphrodisiac attacked, Wang Jie couldn't hold himself for a while, so he took her in his arms......

Li Yunhan rented the house from the old couple surnamed Lan, renovated it slightly, bought some old furniture, and named the new house "Zhiyuan".

On the morning of this day, Li Yunhan was leading people to clean the lotus pond, and saw the prince disguised himself and took Cen Shen and Cen Feng into the courtyard.

Li Yunhan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and welcomed the prince into the living room.

As soon as the prince sat down, he spoke: "According to what Mr. said, the palace sent Fu Guo to show favor to Yang Silang, but his words were vague and did not appreciate it; Fu Guo thought about it again and again, but he still didn't dare to hand over the complaint to him. ”

"Your Highness is too anxious," Li Yunhan smiled indifferently, "He and His Highness have a deep disagreement, of course they have to test it." ”

"Well," the prince nodded, "I heard that Mr. went to Peach Valley Villa the day before yesterday and had a private meeting with King Jing?" ”

"Yes, it's just a chance encounter."

"That's a coincidence." The prince coughed dryly, "What did he say, brother Wang?" ”

"There were many people at the scene at that time, and King Jing didn't say much."

"Then, sir's trip is not just for spring and beauty, right?"

"Of course not." Li Yunhan replied.

"And why did you go?"

"Doesn't His Highness want to get rid of Wang Gong?" Li Yunhan smiled slightly, "This is exactly for this trip." ”

"Really?" The prince was stunned, "May Mr. Wen give advice." ”

Li Yunhan and the crown prince were talking in the house, but King Jing rushed to the gate of Zhiyuan with Ai Yun in civilian clothes.

King Jing got off his horse, and suddenly saw three high-headed horses tied outside the door, and couldn't help frowning. He thought about it and entered the courtyard, but was stopped by Mama Buckwheat.

King Jing saw that Mama Qiao gestured one after another, mistaking it for a dumb person, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Du Shaoling rushed over when he heard the sound, visited King Jing, and said that Li Yunhan was resting, so he went to report it.

King Jing nodded, and waited in the courtyard.

in the living room.

After hearing what Li Yunhan said, the prince couldn't help but lift his expression and sighed: "Wang Gong, the old fox, has finally revealed his tail. ”

Li Yunhan said that the opportunity should not be lost, and persuaded him to do it as soon as possible.

The prince immediately agreed, and when he wanted to say something more, he looked up and saw Shao Ling entering the room in a panic.

When the crown prince heard about King Jing's visit, he was a little panicked for a while.

Li Yunhan's face was calm, and he persuaded the prince to take people and hide in the backyard for a while.

The prince followed his advice and hurriedly followed Cen Shen and Cen Feng to the backyard. He stood there for a moment, but was a little uneasy, so he quietly returned to the living room window to eavesdrop.

King Jing strode into the living room, bowed his head slightly, and said, "I heard that Mr. has come to Beijing, and this king has sent people to inquire around, but I didn't expect Mr. to sting here. ”

"Your Highness is busy with government affairs, and he is traveling far away, how dare he go to disturb him privately. Your Highness is here to come to the cold house, I don't know what to teach? Li Yunhan saluted, respectfully, and said.

"Please sir out of the mountain."

"If you are not in the mountains, how can you go out of the mountains?" Li Yunhan smiled slightly, "Besides, the capital is full of talents, and it is easy to get it." is slow in his heart and mediocre in his knowledge, which is really embarrassing. ”

"Sir is too modest. Mr. has great ambitions, has the talent of Guan Zhong and Le Yi, doesn't he want to achieve some achievements? ”

"That's just a work of poetry and some complaints, so why should Your Highness take it seriously."

"Then why did the gentleman enter Beijing this time?"

Li Yunhan thought for a moment and said: "Don't hide your Royal Highness's jokes, I have been lying in the alley for a long time, and my eyes are vulgar, and this time I entered Beijing just to gain fame." ”

"Oh, I see." After hearing this, King Jing felt a lot more relieved, and said with a smile, "This matter is easy to do, as long as Mr. agrees, there is no need for any scientific examination, and this king can guarantee that you will be promoted to the court as an official." ”

"Your Highness Xie's kindness," Li Yunhan frowned, "However, after reading hard in the lower cold window, my long-cherished wish in my life is only to title the gold list, and if I can make it to the list with my own talents, I will avoid being tongued behind people's backs." ”

"Anyway, as long as Mr. participates in the provincial examination, no matter how good or bad the exam papers are, this king will definitely guarantee that you will be ranked among the top three!"

"Then there is His Royal Highness Lao," Li Yunhan thanked him, "The day before yesterday, Yunhan strayed into Peach Valley Villa, thanks to His Highness's rescue, this glass of thin wine is not a tribute, please do it." ”

King Jing smiled slightly, drank the wine, put down the cup, and said, "Mr. has something on his mind, it won't be as simple as entering by mistake." ”

Li Yunhan was stunned and said, "What does Your Highness think?" ”

"The spring fragrance is full of gardens, and the dance in front of the Belle Hall; Mr. may have smelled some beauty and searched for it. King Jing said and smiled with Li Yunhan.

King Jing put down the teacup and walked a few steps, lifted the curtain, glanced inside, and turned his head and said, "It's generally cold inside and out, and it's really Mr. Qu." When he returned, he asked him to send a few brocade bedding and a few fine furniture. ”

"No need, Your Highness. These objects are a little old, but they are still usable. ”

"Sir is gracious." King Jing said and walked to the back door of the living room, and looked up at the backyard, "Mr. seems to be restless, could it be that there are other distinguished guests in the house?" ”

"Your Highness is smiling, newly moved here, and few visitors visited."

"No," King Jing's eyes blazed, revealing a cold light, "What about the horses outside the door?" ”

"Your Highness has misunderstood," Li Yunhan immediately understood, "early in the morning, a few Hui merchants wandered around, and for convenience, they tied their horses here. ”

King Jing said "um" and said, "Sir's new home, this king should appreciate it." Let's go to the backyard and have a look. ”

Li Yunhan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the backyard is barren with weeds and rats and insects, and I haven't found anyone to clean it up yet." ”

King Jing ignored it and walked straight to the backyard.

The prince listened outside the house and walked away quickly, and was helped by Cen Shen to climb over the gap in the earthen wall and arrive in the Shizheng courtyard next door.

Jing Wangxin stepped into the backyard, stared at it for a while, and sighed: "It's really a barren place. ”

King Jing saw that there was a gap in the wall of the courtyard, he was stunned, and said: "Mr. is really good at choosing a location, and he will be adjacent to Shi Zheng's old house." ”

Li Yunhan shuddered and said, "This, Shifu has been idle and deserted for a long time, and it is good to be quiet next to it." ”

As soon as the words fell, unexpectedly, some noises came from inside Shi Zheng's courtyard.

King Jing suddenly heard some strange noises next door, so he was stunned and asked, "What sound?" ”

"I'm afraid it's wild foxes and weasels that haunt me." Li Yunhan replied cautiously.

"Really?" Still skeptical, King Jing walked over to the gap and craned his neck to see what was going on.

At this time, a cry suddenly came from behind him: "Brother Li, you have to make the decision for me!" ”

King Jing, Li Yunhan and the others looked back, only to see Lou Yue running forward with a sad face, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Yunhan sank his face and said, "Miss Lou, His Royal Highness King Jing is here, so you are rude!" ”

Lou Yue heard this, and hurriedly greeted King Jing and bowed down to apologize.

Li Yunhan asked her what was the matter?

"Wang Jie ran away with another woman!" Lou Yue drooped her face, "Brother Li, now only you can persuade him." ”

Li Yunhan glanced at King Jing and said, "I'm sorry to disturb Your Highness." ”

"Since Mr. has something to do, this king will not bother." King Jing then said goodbye to Li Yunhan and left Zhiyuan with Ai Yun.

Li Yunhan sent King Jing and Ai Yun away, and reflexively returned to the house, only to see the prince and Cen Shen and others standing with gray faces.

The prince asked, King Jing is gone?

Li Yunhan said "um".

"Mr. refused to enter the scene, it turned out that he wanted to be named on the gold list." Prince Road.

"This is just to prevaricate King Jing and talk casually."

"Really?" The prince smiled dryly, wiping the dust from his clothes.

Li Yunhan turned around and made a cup of tea, handed it to the prince, and said, "Your Highness wants to get rid of Wang Gong, and this opportunity must not be lost." ”

"Don't worry, sir, this palace knows what to do." The prince put down his teacup and left.

After the prince left, Li Yunhan calmed down and listened carefully to Lou Yue's account, and exclaimed: "What, he is on good terms with Princess Pingyu again?" ”

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

Why is that? According to the king's temperament, he will never be so affectionate. ”

"Still speaking for him," Lou Yue looked indignant, "If he doesn't look back, I will never spare him!" ”

"Don't be too concerned," Li Yunhan comforted her, "I'll go to him tomorrow and ask for the reason." ”

Lou Yue nodded.

That night, Wang Jie stayed at Jinxian Temple, and Princess Pingyu spent the night together.

When he woke up the next morning, he was remorseful again, and he kept his head down and was sullen.

Ping Yu asked him, are you still thinking about the woman surnamed Lou?

Wang Jie hurriedly said no.

"That's missing your daughter-in-law?"

Wang Jie was silent.

Ping Yu snorted and said, "To tell you the truth, even if your daughter falls in love with you, King Hui will not agree!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Jie's eyes widened.

"King Hui has a crush on Cui Kai after Cui Xun, the former Duke of Shenguo, and is looking for someone to talk about good things with them." Seeing that he was still demented, Ping Yu took a letter from Bogujia and said with a smile, "But my sister-in-law is also interesting, so I will give you this letter." ”

Wang Jie, anxious, took the letter, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw it, it was really Li Jie's handwriting, which read: "Wang Jie: The heart has two minds, and the water flows freely; From now on, don't be lovesick. ”

Wang Jie's eyes were suddenly wet with tears, and he muttered to himself: "Sister-in-law, you, what's wrong......

Wang Jie rushed out of the house in a moment of sadness.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and soon lightning and thunder began to rain heavily. Wang Jie staggered through the wind and rain, and the rain soon soaked his clothes.

Ning Xin ran forward and gave him an umbrella, but Wang Jie roared and threw it to the ground, and walked away without looking back.

After the rain, Wang Jie walked alone on the streets of Chang'an, his clothes wet and his face haggard.

Lou Yue and Li Yunhan made an appointment and were about to go to Guiyifang, when they suddenly saw Wang Jie's clothes wet and walking alone, so they immediately stepped forward and asked him what was wrong, but Wang Jie was demented and silent.

Lou Yue felt that something was wrong, and when she saw him so embarrassed, she couldn't help but feel pity, so she persuaded Li Yunhan with kind words and took him to Yuequan Pharmacy.

Lou Quan was counting and sorting out the medicinal materials, and when he saw that Wang Ji had arrived, he snorted and still lowered his head and was busy with the work in his hands.

Lou Yue took Wang Jie into the inner room and went to change his dry clothes for him.

Li Yunhan sat alone for a while, and accidentally saw the two official seals, and picked them up casually to look at them. The two seals are engraved in three stacks of seal script, and one reads: The Seal of Xiao Guan; The other is engraved: Jinzhou County Seal.

Li Yunhan asked Lou Quan, where did the official seal come from?

"I picked it up outside the door," Lou Quan blinked, "It's weird, it's such a big thing, no one has come to look for it after waiting for two days." ”

"I see." Li Yunhan pondered for a while, "It is said that the official seals are generally cast in copper, but these two are made of stone. ”

"It can't be fake?"

Li Yunhan said "um", saying that Xiaoguan is north of Chang'an, Jinzhou is in Hexi, and the two places are seven or eight hundred miles apart, to say the least.

After hearing this, Lou Quan suddenly came to his senses, and said: "These two places, I used to sell and buy medicinal materials when I was young, and they are the only way to go west and north to do business. ”

"Uncle Lou, don't worry," Li Yunhan looked solemn, "As for these two seals, you keep them first; When the owner comes to find him, don't forget to interrogate him a few more words. ”

Lou Quan nodded and agreed.

Lou Yue found a piece of her father's old clothes, asked Wang Jie to put them on, and made him a cup of hot tea.

Wang Jie felt guilty and sorry for Lou Yue, he held the teacup and stared at her silently.

"I'm going to suffocate people, why don't you speak?" Lou Yue asked.

Wang Jie cried with a sad face, sighed lightly, and said: "I wanted to break off contact with Princess Pingyu, but who would have expected her to threaten me, if I don't obey her, I will not be able to make the list." For this reason, I am really depressed. ”

"Hmph, this person is a femme fatale, what can he do if he doesn't hit!"

"But it's going to ruin my career." Wang Jie's face was sad.

At this time, Li Yunhan entered the room and said loudly: "Brother Xu, do you know why I am looking for you?" ”

Wang Jie shook his head and said he didn't know.

Li Yunhan looked solemn and reprimanded: "You are between Yue'er, the county lord, and Princess Pingyu, if you can't make a decision as soon as possible, you will definitely be hurt by love in the end." ”

"Well, of course, I understand. But the provincial test is imminent, and neither the princess nor the county lord can afford to offend anyone. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I love Yue'er." Wang Jie's face was calm, "Brother rest assured, when the provincial test is completed, I will definitely make a break with them." ”

"Okay, then don't take it as an example!" Li Yunhan said goodbye and left the Yuequan Pharmacy.

Wang Jie rested in the pharmacy for two hours, and gradually recovered his spirit under Lou Yue's careful care.

He sat alone in the courtyard with a distracted mind, drinking tea and staring at the sky in a daze.

Lou Quan saw it on the side, and couldn't help but complain: "It's true, I've rested all afternoon, and I don't do anything......"

Lou Yue said, Dad, can't you stop for a while?

Lou Quan sighed and mocked: "In these years, those who have the ability are lying at home to make a lot of money." ”

Wang Jie felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, and was about to say goodbye to Lou Yue, when he suddenly saw Ning Xin looking at the door of the store and beckoning to him from time to time.

Wang Jie was worried that something would happen again, so he took an opportunity and quietly slipped out of the pharmacy.

When he arrived at a street corner, he saw Ping Yu looking at him with a smile.

Wang Jie's face tightened, saying that he was busy preparing for the exam, and persuaded her not to look for it in the future.

"Okay, I promise." Ping Yu said with a wink, and Ning Xin immediately handed him a package containing silver taels.

Wang Jiejian refused to accept it.

"Why are you still angry with me?" Ping Yu stepped forward and stroked him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I remember the success of the list." ”

"Don't say it," Wang Jie's heart tightened when he heard this, and he softened himself, "When the provincial test is over, I will go to see you." ”

"That's right." Ping Yu said and leaned close to him, and chatted a few more words.

At this time, Lou Yue rushed over, and when she saw the two of them talking with low eyebrows, she couldn't help but be angry, and scolded angrily: "You are so thick-skinned, you dare to steal men in broad daylight!" ”

Ping Yu wanted to anger Lou Yue, so he pretended to hug Wang Jie affectionately, and said, "Childe, what do you say?" ”

Wang Jie pushed her away.

Lou Yue scolded: "Stinky and shameless, bullied to my doorstep!" ”

"Childe, am I thick-skinned?" Ping Yu said and hugged Wang Ji again.

Lou Yue frowned at Wang Jie and said angrily: "If you don't drive her away today, we will cut her in two!" ”

While it was noisy, Lou Quan rushed over when he heard the sound and shouted: "What kind of goods, don't think that you are a princess and you are not ashamed!" ”

"Hmph, you dare to scold me?" Ping Yuden was furious.

"Stinky shameless, what's the matter with beating you!" Lou Quan picked up a broom casually and went to fight, and Ping Yu hurriedly dodged away.

Ning Xin pulled out his sword and pointed it at Lou Quan's heart, and shouted: "If you dare to do it again, I will kill you with one sword!" ”

Wang Jie hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the two of them and asked Ping Yu to leave with Ning Xin.

Ping Yu was very frustrated, glared at Lou Quan's father and daughter fiercely, turned around and walked away.
