Sheng Yu looked at her, that day everyone in the palace saw the military secretary come back with his wife, and he also held the reins of her horse with his own hands, and they were inseparable all the way, and said that the relationship between the military secretary and his wife was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt a little strange at the moment, so he had to stop talking.

When I went out, the sun was already setting, and it was getting late, but since the event was in the evening, it was just right.

Sheng Yu picked more than a dozen attendants from the house to travel together to prevent too many people. The carriage traveled to the city avenue, and sure enough, there were more pedestrians, and it was finally slow to drive to the place.

Shunyin had already heard the sound of people outside, and when he opened the bamboo curtain, there were people everywhere, a prosperous and noisy scene. She was a little noisy, walked a few steps to the side, and turned her head to see that Lu Zhen had already walked out of the roadside pavilion quickly.

As soon as he saw her, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and then he raised his hand: "Madame's forgiveness." ”

Shunyin returned the salute, and said that it was because she was late to invite her, and she hadn't spoken yet, but she heard him continue: "Madame's letter was supposed to be sent that day, but I didn't want the military secretary to send it later, but I promised Madame but almost didn't do it, I'm really ashamed." ”

Shunyin remembered that Mu Changzhou said that he could no longer be the master, and thought that he had no power to assassinate the history of the assassination for a long time, how could he blame him, and it was not easy to say it bluntly, so he only said: "The history of assassination does not have to be taken to heart, it is Liangzhou that should not be like this." ”

Lu Zhen sighed: "It's just an extraordinary period, there are strong neighbors in Hexi, in order to prevent the leakage of military information, it is also appropriate to be cautious, and it will be fine in the future." ”

Shunyin thought to herself that it was originally used for this reason. Hexi has the Western Turks on its back and Tibet in its belly, and it really needs to be guarded against, so it becomes reasonable to say that it is a letter check.

As he spoke, he had already entered the building, and there were only a few pawns around, all of whom were rushing out the door.

Lu Yi invited her to sit on the chair in the middle of the house, and scooped a freshly boiled tea soup for her on the desk: "Madame sit here for a while, originally this year, the chief manager and the wife of the chief steward will also attend the meeting, but because the governor of Shanzhou is not here, I will invite the lady to pay homage to the first incense later." ”

Shunyin had already realized that he could learn a lot of things from him, so he would gladly go to the meeting today, and when he heard him mention Shanzhou, he sat down on the chair and deliberately asked: "The governor of Shanzhou has only left today?" ”

Lu Yugang wanted to say, and said: "Forget it, after all, it's a matter of officialdom." ”

Shun Yin pondered it and said: "I don't know if Lu Tingshi has heard that I am writing about what I have seen, but now I am looking around and looking around, there is only a lack of anecdotes, and I can only hear some from Lu Tingshi." ”

Lu Yu immediately said: "I've heard it a long time ago, Madam is really a talent!" But these things should also be recorded in the experience and heard? ”

Shunyin smiled lightly: "I still know what can be remembered and what can't be remembered." ”

Lu Zhen was relieved, he had been here for a long time, and he finally met Shunyin from Chang'an, he was really close, and he didn't hide it from her, he sat down across the desk, his voice was much quieter, and he said it in detail in 1510.

Shun Yin sat on the right side, occasionally glancing at his mouth shape and hearing the content clearly.

Shanzhou is not far from Liangzhou, and this time it was selected to send troops and horses to suppress the bandits. I didn't want to Shanzhou Governor Yu Shixiong personally brought 5,000 elites here, but he found nothing.

The governor of Liangzhou was angry, thinking that the thieves on the trade routes had made the soldiers and horses of Liangshan and Shanzhou helpless, which would hinder their face, and he was ready to send another person to lead the 5,000 soldiers and horses in Shanzhou, and then send more soldiers and horses from Liangzhou to suppress the bandits together.

However, Yu Shixiong was unwilling to give up the right to lead the troops, and claimed that he would continue to lead the troops and suppress them again.

The governor of Liangzhou has not yet agreed, and suddenly learned that the soldiers and horses in the camp were not exhausted when he suppressed the bandits, and he kept more than 1,000 people privately and was ready to make trouble, so he was furious, and directly deprived him of the right to lead the troops, and ordered all the soldiers and horses he brought to be handed over to the commander of Liangzhou, and sent him back to Shanzhou on the same day.

"Because of this, the manager and his wife have no intention of participating in the event." Lu Zhen suddenly laughed when he said this, "Originally, the governor of Yu and the military department were not on good terms, and I suspected that this matter was related to the military department, but on the day when the chief manager learned that he failed to suppress the bandits and convened the officials to discuss, the military secretary and his wife went out of the southern city to visit the scenery, not in the city, and I never saw the governor at all. ”

"......" Shunyin understood, so Mu Changzhou specially took her on a trip that day, just to be able to get the military information in the Shanzhou Soldiers and Horses Camp while not being in the city.

Now he has received five thousand elites from the other party. No wonder he has disappeared recently, it turns out that he is busy with this matter.

It was expected that Yu Shixiong was not a good person, so when he brought the troops to come, he took precautions, specially left more than 1,000 people in the camp and sent people to patrol around. If the governor sends someone else to take over his soldiers and horses, he will let these more than 1,000 people make trouble in the camp, causing the situation that the soldiers and horses of Shanzhou are difficult to be managed by Liangzhou.

It was self-defeating, and the matter of leaving the troops was detected by the scouts, which angered the manager, and the five thousand elites still changed hands in the end.

She thought for a moment and said, "Then now it's the military secretary himself who is leading the troops to suppress the bandits?" ”

Lu Yu laughed: "Why did Madam ask me instead?" But he also went on to say, "Where is the military division, the previous few times of suppressing bandits had little effect, and they were not the leaders of the military division, and the military division has long ignored these trivial matters." This time, the military power was handed over to Sashi Zhang Junfeng, just because he had previously supported the governor quickly. ”

Shun Yin thought to herself, what is the difference between this and handing it over to Mu Changzhou? Anyway, when the soldiers and horses entered Liangzhou, they were all under his command. He must have calculated every step of the way, and pulled her to participate......

After just a cup of tea, it was already dark outside, and the sound on the street was louder, Lu Zhen got up and said, "The grand party is about to start, please go out and watch the ceremony, madam." ”

Shun Yin got up and asked again when he walked out: "You just said that Governor Yu and the military secretary are not on good terms?" ”

Lu Zhen nodded: "It's not surprising, I came to Liangzhou late, and I heard that the military secretary was born in a literati, and he was in a high position in Hexi at a young age, so there will be people who are not used to seeing it." ”

Shunyin went through it in her heart and didn't say anything.

It was dark outside, but the streets were as bright as day. There were more pedestrians on the road than when they first arrived, and the streets were already flooded.

Sheng Yu waited by the door and asked the guards to separate the crowd on both sides, so that Shun Yin could follow Lu Zhen forward.

After a few steps, I walked to a high platform, the platform is one zhang high, and there is a half-height gold statue of Buddha in the middle of it, surrounded by colorful silk dried flowers, cigarette smoke, which is about to be set up for this grand event. A circle of monks around the Buddha statue is beating bowls and chanting sutras.

There were also soldiers guarding the stage, and several civil officials in green shirts were waiting under the stage with their families, and they had not yet gone up.

Lu Zhen led the way, please Shunyin go up first.

Shun Yin went up with him and looked around, it was a fact that the Hu Feng prevailed in Liangzhou, and almost half of the crowd on the road were dressed in Hu clothes. On the contrary, she is a high-waisted skirt, and she does not wear a hat because she wants to participate in Buddhist affairs, revealing a high bun, which looks like an outlier.

Lu Zhen looked at her twice, but said: "As soon as I saw my wife today, I wanted to say, when my wife entered Liangzhou, it was like a strong wind blowing from Chang'an." ”

Before Shun Yin could speak, he had already taken a lit long-handled incense burner from the pawn next to him and handed it over.

"Madame, on behalf of the Military Division's Office, please go first."

Shunyin looked around, she didn't believe in Buddhism, but with such a big formation in front of her, she naturally couldn't slack off, took the incense burner, and walked to the Buddha statue.

Today, the city gate is not closed, and a group of people and horses have just rushed back from outside the east city gate, and when they reach the main street in the city, the road is no longer passable, so they have to stop.

Mu Changzhou sat on the horse, separated by the crowd, still far away, and saw the figure on the high platform at a glance, wearing a goose yellow wide-sleeved shirt, a red pomegranate skirt, a high-waisted light bundle, towering cloud temples, arms and shawls, and holding incense in front of the Buddha with both hands.

Hu Xiao'er followed behind, disgusted with the blockage, scolded twice, turned his head and saw that he had come off the horse, and immediately dismounted.

Zhang Junfeng chased after him, got off his horse, and whispered behind him: "Military Division, the soldiers and horses have taken over." ”

"Hmm." Mu Changzhou handed the bow to the guards behind him, and motioned for them to lead their horses back first and move forward.

Hu Xiao'er and Zhang Junfeng followed him forward, and suddenly looked up and found Shunyin standing on the high platform, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and then at Mu Changzhou in front of them.

After the incense is completed on the stage, the old monk who meditates in front of the Buddha twists the Buddha beads and returns the salute, and as a rule, he wants to pray for the benefactor of the first incense.

Lu Zhen said on the side: "This is the wife of the military secretary, the noble daughter of the Bohai Feng clan, who came from Chang'an. ”

The old monk nodded, knowing his identity, and recited it in a low voice.

Lu Zhen said to Shunyin: "The senior monk has also been to Chang'an, and has seen many dignitaries, and maybe he has even seen his wife." ”

The surroundings were too noisy, Shun Yin only heard what he said when he looked at his mouth, and shook his head: "It's impossible." ”

The old monk just finished reading, opened his eyes and suddenly said: "I don't ask about Hongchen mundane things for a long time, but the Feng family still remembers that in the past, when I participated in the Dharma meeting in the Great Ci'en Temple in Chang'an, I had to meet hundreds of officials, including Feng Shangshu." ”

Shunyin pursed her lips suddenly.

The old monk said while recalling: "That year, the high school jinshi had an inscription in the Wild Goose Pagoda, and it seems that there is also a family member. ”

Lu Yi was surprised: "There is such a thing? ”

Shunyin didn't expect that this was really a monk who had been to Chang'an, so he turned his head and said: "The senior monk made a mistake, it wasn't the Feng family's ......."

The words stopped abruptly, and suddenly a long shadow swept away, and she looked over, and their eyes collided.

Mu Changzhou was standing under the stage, his robe was tightly tied, and he was equipped with a horizontal knife at his waist, obviously just returning from outside the city, looking at her.

In an instant, it was like the Qujiang night banquet seven years ago, but the person was no longer the same as it was then.

She rolled her eyes.

Mu Changzhou stood in the dark of the lamplight, saw her eyes, and gently tugged at the side of his mouth, knowing that she still had no breath left.

She has a cold temperament, and she doesn't show her anger, but even her eyes are cold, but she is wearing such an outfit, which is glamorous and dazzling. He suddenly remembered that she always showed such a look when she was a child, so cold, it really hasn't changed at all.

The bathing Buddha begins, the clear water bumps down along the top of the Buddha statue, pouring the golden body, and the audience suddenly has a good man and woman chanting and praying, the sound is chaotic and mixed, and it begins to crowd to the high platform.

Lu Yuan had to come forward to maintain it.

Shun Yin was so noisy that she couldn't hear the surrounding words clearly, and she looked at the mouth shape and the people were chaotic, and she turned around and wanted to go down the steps, but the green-shirted officials below all boarded up with their families and blocked there. She was upset, and she couldn't show it, so she stroked her left ear with one hand and retreated to the edge.

Suddenly, the officials retreated.

Shun Yin raised her eyes and saw Mu Changzhou coming over in a hurry, stretched out her hand on her shoulder, stopped on the right side, and led her down.

The old monk who had just been reciting the scriptures suddenly said: "Isn't this the Jinshi of the Feng family back then?" ”

Shunyin heard half of the sentence, stopped, Mu Changzhou beside him only glanced at the old monk, did not say much, and put his hand on her shoulder again, and walked down.

Lu Zhen said there: "The senior monk admitted his mistake, it was our Liangzhou marching Sima." ”

The old monk recited a Buddhist verse and didn't ask if it was.

Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er in the audience were stunned when they heard the old monk's words, and they looked at each other, but they didn't come back to it.

Left and right, I walked out for a long time by sticking to the side of the road, away from the crowd, and the surroundings were quieter.

Shun Yin took a step back from his side and said, "Don't thank Second Brother Mu, after all, Second Brother Mu also got my help." ”

Mu Changzhou turned his head to look at her, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Indeed." ”

Shunyin didn't speak, and went to find his own carriage.

Sheng Yu followed, holding a cup of fragrant medicinal syrup in his hand: "This is for prayer, and Mrs. hasn't prayed yet." ”

Shunyin turned around, and saw from a distance that someone on the stage was holding sugar water to offer to the Buddha, which was indeed used for prayer, glanced at Mu Changzhou, and took the cup: "Then pray that Second Brother Mu will not need me for anything in the future." ”

Mu Changzhou looked at her, stretched out his hand, took the cup, and drank it directly on his neck, as if deliberately: "I'm afraid it's useless to pray for the Buddha." ”

CHAPTER XIII

Shunyin's lips opened, and he almost didn't say that it was for the Buddha, and then he saw his eyes, and he couldn't see that he was still in awe of any gods and Buddhas.

Forget it, how can you forget that he is no longer the young gentleman he was back then. She simply turned around and walked back: "Anyway, after praying, I'll go back." ”

Mu Changzhou watched her walk out and handed the cup to Sheng Yu.

The attendants had deliberately driven the car away to avoid the crowd, but now they had only come and stopped a few paces away.

Shunyin walked over and got into the car, and was just about to sit down, when she heard Shengyu's voice talking outside, and she heard it clearly when she approached the pane: "The military division's horse has been brought back, please board the car and return with his wife." ”

"......" she thought for a moment, she really didn't see his horse just now, and sat up straight without a word.

Outside, Hu Xiao'er and Zhang Junfeng seemed to come over, Mu Changzhou's voice was neither high nor low, and he said a few words to them, and then there was no sound.

Immediately after the bamboo curtain of the car door was lifted, Shun Yin raised his eyes, he had come in from outside, tucked the hem of his clothes, and sat down on her right side, as if it should be.

The car drove forward, and it really turned out to be the same car and returned.

Shunyin didn't make a sound, didn't look at him, and her eyes fell on the pane on the side. The car was dim, and occasionally the lights on the side of the road shone in, reflecting his figure, and a tall and inclined one covered her figure.

Mu Changzhou didn't speak, the sentence just now was really deliberate, it could be seen, and besides, she would only be colder, so it was better to accept it when she saw it.

The city is still very lively, and you can hear the sound of people even if the car is far away.

It wasn't until in front of the military secretary's mansion that the car stopped, and Sheng Yu asked them to get out of the car outside, Shun Yin moved, and then his eyes glanced at Mu Changzhou.
