73 Chapter 73

Fang Linyuan left Zhao Yu to sit in the house for a while, and when Zhao Yu got up to say goodbye in the afternoon, he could be regarded as having a good chat with the guests and hosts.

The only regret is that Zhao Pu next to him always stares at him.

Fang Linyuan was rarely a little restrained, his words were cautious, and in the end, he couldn't ask about Zhao Yu's past as a sailor.

Fang Linyuan got up to send it, but Zhao Yu asked him to stay, saying that it was good to let Zhao Pu send her, and there was no need to trouble Fang Linyuan.

Thinking that there was something to say between them, Fang Linyuan didn't insist anymore, and said goodbye to Zhao Yu in the hall.

But in fact, there is nothing to say between Zhao Yu and Zhao Pu.

Zhao Yu is more than ten years older than Zhao Pu, and when Zhao Pu was four years old, Zhao Yu was already married.

Although she is the eldest daughter of Emperor Hongyou, she is an unfavored Jieyu, so she is neither high nor low, and within two years of marriage, she went to the station in Fuzhou with her husband.

When she returned, Zhao Pu was eleven years old.

Her husband died, and she returned to the capital to be a widow.

Since the day she returned to Beijing, she has lived in a simple house, like a deep lady. But only Zhao Pu knew that she could repel three or five guards with strong martial arts behind Zhao Jin with one hand.

That time, it was Zhao Jin, a few fox friends in the capital, who met Zhao Pu in the palace by chance, and saw his beautiful complexion, so he stepped forward and laughed at him frivolously.

Zhao Pu retreated step by step with a cold look, but was blocked by the guards brought by Zhao Jin.

"Zhao Pu, you are such a big girl, how can you always be so withdrawn?" Zhao Jin stood not far away, holding his arms, laughing especially disgustingly. "Why don't you ignore people when they talk to you?"

The gentlemen immediately burst into laughter.

In the midst of laughter, a neat and fierce fighting sound came from behind Zhao Pu.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Zhao Yu who was passing by, dressed in plain clothes and skirts, and put down the guards with one hand.

Then, she turned her head and looked at him lightly: "Fifth Emperor Sister, let's go." ”

Zhao Jin wanted to step forward to stop him, but because of the dignity of the elders and the terrible skills of Zhao Yu, he didn't dare to say much in the end.

Only when she led people to pass by her side, she talked loudly with the gentlemen around her, saying that those women who were virtuous and bad in the people would always kill their husbands.

At that time, Zhao Yu's hair was still wrapped in white silk for her husband's filial piety.

"He's talking about you." After they walked away, Zhao Pu said to her. "I owe you once, if it's not convenient for you to do it, I'll take care of him for you for a month after that."

Zhao Jin has no brains, there are always a lot of times when he is alone. Twelve-year-old Zhao Pu has learned a lot of insidious methods in the harem, which makes him unlucky a few times, and it is as easy as a finger.

saw Zhao Yu looking at him with his eyes down, and showed a flat smile for a moment.

"You are still young, and self-preservation is the best policy." She said. "What are you going to do, when you grow up."

After that, they didn't see each other for many years.

The two of them quietly walked through the flower hall and the front yard, and stopped in front of the mansion gate. The carriage of the eldest princess's mansion had already stopped there, and Zhao Yu turned around and met Zhao Xuan's charming and cold eyes.

"I'm going back." She said.

Zhao Pu nodded and responded: "Be careful on the road." ”

Zhao Yu looked at him, smiled faintly for a moment, and said, "You have changed a lot from the last time I saw you." ”

Zhao Pu didn't seem to understand the meaning of her words.

He didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Yu with some doubts in his eyes.

I saw Zhao Yu laughing lightly, but the eyes that looked at Zhao Yu were serious persuasion.

"Your husband is indeed a good man." She said. "But you are not a woman who is at peace with your heart, and you should also understand that if your love is too deep, you yourself will shut yourself up in the inner house, and you will never be separated from it again."

At this, she paused slightly.

She tilted her head slightly, just in time to see the curtain of the carriage behind her.

The curtain of this car is made of the heaviest Hangzhou silk.

The color of Hangzhou silk is gorgeous, but the silk cloth used in this carriage and horse is an extremely rare azure, plain and dull, but it is the best product worth thousands of gold in Hangzhou silk.

That's all she can do.

Because she was a widowed widow, even if she was traveling in a chariot or horse, she had to use such an indifferent color to express her lengthy bereavement.

Zhao Yu laughed coldly, shook his head, and said to Zhao Xuan: "That's it, it's always right to cherish what is in front of you." ”

So saying, she turned her head and boarded the luxurious but dull, wide but airtight carriage without looking back.

There was a faint sound of singing at the corner of the street, it was the Nanqu troupe invited by the family, and it was "Wudian Slope" that was sung.

The virgin in the drama waited for her husband in the cold kiln, and the eighteen years of chastity in exchange for a reputation that has been passed down for thousands of years is the most vigorous and grand career that a woman can do.

As for the commander of the expedition and the repulsion of the enemy?

That is the kind father's love that the mountain can barely forgive, and the eldest daughter is too willful, arbitrary, and unruly.

The words of the play vaguely drifted into Zhao Yu's ears, and she was expressionless.

When they got married, she and her husband met for the first time on their wedding night.

After several years of uneventful marriage, he died of mediocrity and conceit, of not listening to her admonitions and plans.

After that, she seemed to have finally broken free from the shackles, and with the soldiers and horses he left behind, in the mighty waves, she repelled the thieves who dominated the ocean.

But she still couldn't escape the emperor's order.

She was ordered to return to the capital, and was ordered to spend the rest of her life guarding his tablet and mourning him for the rest of her life.

Zhao Yu slowly closed his eyes.

"Let's go." She said to the coachman in front of her.

But at this moment, there was a gentle clasping sound from the carriage of the carriage.

She opened the curtain of the car, and saw Zhao Pu standing underneath, raising her head slightly, looking at her.

"The number of lives in the back house can be changed." I saw Zhao Pu say. "Do you believe it or not?"

β€”β€”

Canaanite incense rose from the mouths of the beasts of the golden furnace and spread throughout the golden temple.

Sunlight shines through the huge windows of the golden silk nanmu and is cut into bunches by the panes. The silent waiter held the gold bricks that trampled across the floor with the dust, and replaced the precious Yao red peony in the white glaze vase.

Emperor Hongyou sat in front of the imperial case, and it was Yuan Honglang, the current servant of the ministry, who was standing under the seat.

Like Sang Zhixin, a first-class jinshi who was born in a poor family and read poetry and books, but he was younger and the city government was not so deep.

Ten years ago, Emperor Hongyou would not like to use such a person.

He is not as knowledgeable about human feelings as Sang Zhixin, and now he is thirty or forty years old, and he still has a literati arrogance that has not been polished.

So much so that many ministers in the court did not deal with him, and many people complained that he was rigid, strict and impersonal, and Yushitai's participation in him was never stopped.

But in the past few years, especially after the Jiangnan incident, Emperor Hongyou has found more and more that such a person also has his usefulness.

He has hard bones and few thoughts, but he is more reassuring than others.

On his imperial case was the folds handed over by Yuan Honglang, including all the records and receipts of the officials he reviewed when he was in Jiangnan, and everything was detailed, and Emperor Hongyou's head hurt.

He is indeed stereotypical. After those officials were examined, they had already dealt with the same, but he still had to sort them out, as if he was afraid that he would not do his official work properly.

Emperor Hongyou took the fold and closed it with a smile.

"Aiqing has a heart." He said. "However, I have summoned you today for another matter."

I saw Yuan Honglang bowing his hand, waiting for the holy decree of Emperor Hongyou.

"Okay, it's just gossip, Aiqing doesn't have to be so serious." Emperor Hongyou smiled, asked the eunuch to give him a seat, and told Yuan Honglang about the abnormalities that Fang Linyuan found after he went to Chongzhou to suppress bandits.

"Aiqing thinks that who should I send to deal with this matter?" After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongyou asked him.

Seeing that Yuan Honglang pondered for a moment, he replied: "Your Majesty, if the matter is involved, Weichen thinks it is safe to send at least two adults to investigate the case." ”

"Oh?" He didn't answer directly, but he piqued Emperor Hongyou's interest. "What do you mean by Aiqing?"

"For example, Weichen, although he is familiar with the books of sages, he does not know anything about military salaries and generals." I saw Emperor Hongyou say.

"Such a case, if you want to investigate it thoroughly, it must be more appropriate for a military attache who has been in contact with soldiers and soldiers. However, according to His Majesty's words, the army in Yanzhou is complicated, and it must be necessary for the adults of Yushitai or Dali Temple to be on the side, so that it can be safe and accidental. ”

Emperor Hongyou seems to be very satisfied with the plan he proposed.

"Military generals and civil officials ......," he groaned, feeling more and more that Yuan Honglang's proposal won his heart.

After the Jiangnan case, he was somewhat uneasy about the ministers in the court. But if they can check and balance each other, then his worries can be easily solved.

"What Aiqing said is extremely true." Emperor Hongyou nodded and asked again. "Speaking of military attachΓ©s, what does Aiqing think, how is Fang Linyuan?"

Yuan Honglang groaned slightly, and didn't seem to think much about it.

"Weichen doesn't know much about the other general. Not to mention his record in Longxi, just to say that this time he suppressed bandits for His Majesty, he seems to be a careful and responsible person. He replied.

"Hmm......" Emperor Hongyou nodded, looking at his expression. So Aiqing thinks, is this person available? ”

"Wechen didn't dare to assert." Yuan Honglang shook his head. "If you talk about talent, General Fang is indeed a usable talent, but Your Majesty must also prevent him from trespassing. If he stretches out his hand too long, and with some talent he wants to make decisions for His Majesty, this person will never be able to use it. ”

Emperor Hongyou pondered, recalling Fang Linyuan's appearance when he met him just now.

He was indeed clean and beautiful, and every time he was assigned to do an errand, he did a great job.

So much so that the good is feared...... However, it does not seem that he had the intention of usurping his authority and making decisions for the king.

Even this time, he took the lead in finding out the Yanzhou army's discord, and only used the stupidest way to bring all the thieves back to the capital.

When he returned to the court, he only talked about the case, and he didn't have any intention of following up and probing at all.

Instead, he told him to go back to his house to rest...... He was visibly relieved.

Sure enough, it's still a young man's heart. Emperor Hongyou thought about it, and a slight relaxed smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Hmm......" he nodded, thoughtful.

"What Aiqing said is very true."

β€”β€”

I went to Yanzhou once, back and forth, and the bitter summer in Shangjing gradually passed.

&n

bsp; The autumn wind gradually rose, and within two days, it was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The lotus flowers in the Anping Marquis Mansion have withered away, and the gardeners in the garden have cleaned up the residual lotus in the pond in the past few days.

Now there are only bright red carp swimming in the pond of Qinglingling, and the double-petaled chrysanthemums are resting on the edge of the pool, red and yellow, beautiful and tight.

So on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Zhaojin ordered someone to put dinner by the pool.

The huge round table is full of delicacies, the silk screen behind it reflects the weeping willow flowers and trees, and the pond water sparkles and reflects the full moon at night.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was spent by Zhao Pu and Fang Linyuan's family of four.

Song Zhaojin has been in good health these days, and his mood is also good, and he looks a lot better.

Changnian began to go to Taixue to study in the past two months, Xu is following his father's ability to never forget, and now the "Book of Songs" and "Mencius" can all be memorized, and two poems of festive reunion were read to them during the banquet, which made Fang Linyuan laugh.

"Changnian is really out of breath." He said. "If I had memorized these two poems when I was a child, I was afraid that I would have been beaten three times."

provoked Song Zhaojin to cover his mouth with a handkerchief on the side, and couldn't stop laughing.

"The second brother is still talking." She said. "Your brother also told me that you have been smart since you were a child, but you are naughty, and you can't sit still in your studies."

Fang Linyuan smiled and nodded, and then said to Chang Nian: "Chang Nian, don't you learn from Uncle." ”

The family laughed for a while, and even Zhao Pu next to him turned his eyes away, looking at Fang Linyuan, with a faint smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

After Song Zhaojin smiled, he said to Fang Linyuan: "The second brother is still like this child, if he becomes a father in the future, he must not be like this again." ”

When these words came out, both of them were stunned during the banquet.

Fang Linyuan almost immediately turned his head and looked at Zhao Pu.

I saw that Zhao Pu was also looking at him.

They both understood what it meant.

They are such a fake couple, where did the children come from.

The expected embarrassment did not arise. On the contrary, at the moment when Zhao Pu's eyes met, Fang Linyuan somehow suddenly remembered another thing in his heart.

Zhao Pu is here today because his great cause has not been accomplished. On that day, it should be the day when the two of them parted ways.

He and Zhao Pu are not husband and wife, and they are only afraid that they will be close relatives and ministers in the future.

As the time went by, he forgot about it.

Thinking of this, the corners of Fang Linyuan's mouth gradually sank.

His thought was a bit of a disappointment, and he was a little unhappy.

Fang Linyuan's lips moved, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

But at this moment, he saw that Zhao Pu gradually stopped smiling.

He didn't know that Zhao Pu always had a little untouchable sensitivity in the matter of "husband and wife having children".

Whenever he is mentioned, he will remember that he can't and can't do it, so that his position as Mrs. Hou is in jeopardy.

Any woman can replace him, and she can do better than him.

Under the full moon, Fang Linyuan only saw the smile in his eyes gradually fade, and under the golden yellow behind him, the full moon hanging high above his head, and the brilliant lights in the original place, there was a little quiet.

Fang Linyuan's hand resting on his lap tightened slightly.

yes, what was he thinking! On the reunion festival, he was thinking about some separation early, and in Zhao Pu's eyes, he was afraid that it would also arouse his sadness.

His father and son are not harmonious, and the home in the palace has long been called home, and now he can share some warmth in his own home, why is he still thinking about letting him go......

Fang Linyuan felt that it was too undeserved.

As if making up for it, he raised his hand and pressed it on Zhao Pu's wrist, turned his head, and said to Song Zhaojin with a smile: "Don't worry about being a father, let's talk about it when the time comes." Isn't it already good that our family is like this now? ”

Over there, Song Zhaojin also smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"yes." She said. "It's best now."

The atmosphere calmed down again, and Fang Linyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Pu again.

Zhao Pu still didn't smile, just a pair of dark eyes, turning to look at him.

It doesn't matter if there is a continuation of the bloodline? He was thinking back to what Fang Linyuan had said.

The full moon was too bright tonight, and the surrounding lights were lively, just enough to hide the deep and swaying emotions in those eyes.

Like a painting ghost who fell into a dream of love, it hides its claws, hides its ghostly spirit, and has a charming mind, really want to play the gentle and virtuous wife of a scholar forever.

But where can the fox ghost do it?

He was awake, but he sank willingly.

β€”β€”

Fang Linyuan didn't expect that a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he received a holy decree from the palace.

His Majesty appointed him as the minister of the Qincha, and gave Heng Feizhang to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and patrolled Yanzhou together to investigate the case of the shortage of grain and grass in the Yanzhou garrison.

Fang Linyuan was very surprised, but he immediately remembered what Zhao Pu said that day when he was separated from him in front of the palace gate.

"Just do what I say." I just listened to Zhao Pu say. "He will personally issue an order and let you take charge of the case in Yanzhou."

Could it really be Zhao Pu's doing? He is so powerful that he has never even seen face-to-face, and he can influence His Majesty's decision!

Fang Linyuan was so surprised that as soon as he got the holy decree, he went to Huaiyu Pavilion to find Zhao Pu.

When he arrived at Huaiyu Pavilion, Zhao Puguang had a silk tied to his sleeves and was pruning flowers and branches in the courtyard.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the begonias in the yard are almost grateful, but the osmanthus trees in front of the court are blooming lively.

A few maids were chattering and laughing on the side, as if they were gathering the osmanthus flowers on the branches.

Seeing Fang Linyuan coming, the maids turned around to salute him, and laughed and said that the Hou Ye came just in time, and the prince was just making osmanthus candy in the back kitchen.

"Alright, now that the flowers are collected, let's send them to the kitchen." Seeing Fang Linyuan coming, Juan Su turned around without moving and said to a few maids.

The maids laughed in response, pushed and shoved the basket of flowers, and headed towards the kitchen.

Silk Su also bowed to Fang Linyuan and the others, and quietly retreated.

In just a moment, only Fang Linyuan and Zhao Pu were left under the fallen osmanthus tree.

"Got the Holy Decree?" I saw Zhao Pu, who was holding the silver scissors in one hand, turned his head and asked.

"Yes, we'll be ready to go in two days." Fang Linyuan nodded. "Is this your plan?"

I saw Zhao Pu nodding slightly, put the scissors aside, and said: "Heng Feizhang, who is walking with you this time, is my subordinate, you can rest assured of him, don't be guarded." ”

Fang Linyuan did not doubt it, and immediately responded: "Okay." ”

Thinking that he went north to investigate the case this time, he was afraid that he didn't know how long he would have to stay, looking at Zhao Pu in front of him, Fang Linyuan couldn't help but ask again: "What about you?" ”

He didn't know why he asked this sentence, and when he said it, he scratched his head a little embarrassed.

But seeing Zhao Pu's natural expression, he took off the silk and put down his wide sleeves, and replied, "I have some other arrangements." ”

"Oh......" Fang Linyuan responded.

In fact, he knows it without asking.

Qin went out and was not on the march, and he had to delay his time back and forth on the road, and he was afraid that it would be more than a month when he left.

Zhao Pu just wanted to go, but he was afraid that he would lack skills, not to mention that he had already sent his subordinates to go, so he didn't have to do anything more.

Fang Linyuan thought so, but somehow, the reluctance to leave home was born at this time.

"Then you just have to take care of your own arrangements." He reluctantly suppressed this feeling and said to Zhao Pu. "You don't have to worry about the Yanzhou Army."

I saw Zhao Pu nodding slightly, and asked him: "The candied osmanthus is ready today, do you want to eat osmanthus cheese or osmanthus balls?" ”

Actually, it's all delicious.

But the thought of leaving home came a little suddenly, thinking that he would have to leave again in two days, Fang Linyuan heard the name of the osmanthus dessert, and he didn't have much appetite.

On the contrary, somehow, there was a faint flow in his mind, all of which was the smell of Zhao Pu's usual osmanthus incense tablets.

β€”β€”

Early the morning after tomorrow, the guard of honor of the Qincha who went north stepped on the warm orange morning sun of autumn and stepped on the official road heading north.

This time, the team was very lively. In addition to the officials, attendants, and guards, there was also a group of merchants in their chariots.

It is said that the Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce in the capital and several big businessmen took the lead, because they heard that the famine in Yanzhou was serious, they donated relief grain, grass and materials, and escorted them to set off with the Qincha.

Fang Linyuan didn't care much about this.

The guard of honor marched too slowly, and he did not ride a horse, so he got into his carriage when he left the gate. The carriage was staggering, it was early, and he fell asleep in the carriage not long after leaving the city.

When I woke up again, I heard the sound of a rapid pounding on the carriage.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!"

Fang Linyuan woke up in a daze, and saw that outside the carriage was an attendant of the Marquis of Anping's Mansion.

He held a letter in his hand, and while riding a horse and following the carriage forward, he said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is sick, and the eldest lady has specially asked the villain to send a letter to the general, so that you can go back to Beijing as soon as possible after you are done." ”

"What?" Fang Linyuan's brows furrowed, and he opened the car curtain.

"I found it this morning, and I asked Lang Zhong to take a look, and it was said that it suddenly had smallpox. This disease is extremely contagious, and now the entire Huaiyu Pavilion is sealed, and only a few people brought by the Fifth Highness from the palace are waiting inside, and we don't know what the situation is......"

It's so serious!

When Fang Linyuan heard what he said, he was shocked, and he reached out to pick up the letter in his hand.

It was precisely with this movement that he turned around, and he saw the caravan following the guard of honor.

Fang Linyuan paused slightly, then turned his head and looked at the golden light that had just flashed in his afterglow.

I saw that above the white clothes, there was a golden ancient beast ghost face. The man in the mask happened to poke his head out of the car window and say something to the guy beside him.

As if sensing Fang Linyuan's gaze, he raised his head and was looking at Fang Linyuan.

When his eyes met, he raised his lips slightly, and showed a gentle smile towards Fang Linyuan.

Who else could it be!

In front of Fang Linyuan, it was the head of the merchants who escorted the grain and grass, and the famous Chu family's big owner, Zhu Yan. Please keep in mind: , URL mobile version,
