Chapter 69: The First Friend
The more the carriage went, I felt that the road ahead was getting more and more bumpy, bumpy and bumpy, so that Yan Zhuo, who was sitting in the hard car, was extremely uncomfortable, his back hurt, and his whole body was about to be tossed and scattered.
Yan Zhuo closed his eyes and felt carefully, only to feel that this place was in a remote location, with few human voices, and the sounds of birds and various animals were endless. It seemed that the carriage had already left the city.
In fact, needless to say, I also know that this winter hunting ground has a huge area, so it is naturally located outside the bustling main city of Yunjing City.
In the early years, the royal family had deliberately enclosed a mountain forest, the mountain forest has many trees, there are many animal species in it, and the ground is relatively flat, which is really an ideal hunting place, so this land has been officially used as the location of the royal annual winter activities.
The various living creatures in the royal hunting grounds are small and low-threatening. And those huge and ferocious animals such as tigers, lions, bears, etc., were expelled one by one by the masters around the Emperor of the Dongqing Kingdom.
In this way, the personal safety of everyone can be guaranteed during the hunt. And for many years, when hunting, nothing dangerous happened.
Normally, these animals in large "cages" live freely within the walls, but when the day of the hunt comes, it is time for them to die.
It's a pity that these livestock should not have any awareness of danger in times of peace.
Speaking of Zhuo, at this moment, it is almost time to arrive at the venue of this winter fence.
The carriage creaked along, and every now and then the groom whispered softly, speeding up the pace of progress.
Sigh~
The groom at the head tugged on the reins, and the horse stopped obediently, stood where he was, shook his hooves, and lowered his head to eat the grass on the ground. Their beautiful sideburns hung low, and their big eyes flashed with serenity and meekness.
The land of winter enclosure has arrived.
At this time, someone had already seen the carriage of the Zhenguo Mansion coming. A young eunuch waited quietly, first waving his hand, and then stepping forward, carefully pointing to the location of the Zhenguo Mansion for the groom in charge.
The carriage started slowly, and crossed the clearing, to the position of which the eunuch had spoken.
After a while, the car stopped again.
Yan Zhuo was supported by Xingzi and slowly got out of the carriage. When she looked up, she saw that there were already many people in the open space where the other houses belonged, most of them were busy setting up tents, some were carrying things in and out, and some were carefully packing up and arranging the tents that had already been set up.
The lords, ladies, sons, and ladies who came from all over the family naturally did not go to this dirty scene, and they were all invited to the place prepared in advance, and sat idly drinking tea and chatting.
The tents of the Holy Lord, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the various highnesses are located in a large area in the center of the venue. The tent of the Holy Lord, on the innermost level, was surrounded by stars and moons, so that his safety could be best guaranteed.
At this time, the tents there have been set up, but the body of the saint is ten thousand gold, at this moment, naturally he will not come, and important people will always appear at the end of the finale, and now, it is obviously only in the preparation stage.
The subordinates of the Guogong Mansion were busy and began to set up tents. Yan Zhuo asked Qing Dai and Guo Yang to keep an eye on and arrange the tent where she lived, and she and Xing Zi and Jiang Kai turned around at will near this open space.
Father, mother, they went to the place where they sat and drank tea, greeting those officials and their families, this is an indispensable etiquette in officialdom, Yan Zhuo was very impatient with this, so she did not go with her mother.
Yan Yun'er went to the gathering place of the ladies of various provinces to play. Yan Zhuo can still recall that she looked at herself contemptuously before she went, as if to say, look at you, you don't have any friends, how can you be like me? These famous ladies in Beijing are all my good friends, how about it, you are not as good as me......
Yan Zhuo ignored her, she wished she was alone.
In her previous life, she saw clearly the hypocrisy and fragility of the friendship between the women in Beijing.
In the last life, after her mother was gone, those who originally resonated with her in calligraphy and painting, and often exchanged letters, because they were no longer concubines, ignored themselves and turned to Yan Yun'er......
was raided and regarded as a subordinate of King Ning's Mansion...... Her sorrow, she doesn't believe these people don't know. But when they saw her, Yan Zhuo couldn't see sympathy, pity, or sadness in their eyes at all, she saw the faces that had been smiling with her, and looked at her so indifferently, as if she was looking at a dog, and it was a leper dog, she didn't care about it at all, and even avoided it, afraid that she would have something to do with them and burden them...
At that time, she saw through the warmth and coldness of people.
Therefore, what close friends in the boudoir, what confidants and friends, but they are all passing clouds, and they can't last long, let alone "mighty and unyielding, poor and lowly can't be moved, and rich and noble can't be lewd". In this life, she doesn't plan to make any more friends, it's a pure waste of time.
Yan Zhuo walked slowly, letting the cold winter wind blow on his face, feeling the breath of the mountains and forests in the distance.
Under a dark mountain forest, it seems to be full of all kinds of life, but it is also filled with a breath of death. The conspiracy against her is about to begin, so I'm really waiting to see what happens.
Yan Zhuo's lips hooked up a contemptuous smile, those people want to harm her, and when the time comes, let's see who wins whom. The road ahead is still long, and it will definitely be lonely.
"Miss, there's someone here. ”
Xing Zi said in Yan Zhuo's ear, and Yan Zhuo also felt it.
A sound of knowing Suo Suo came softly from the gentle slope ahead, and Yan Zhuo stared at it, Xing Zi and Jiang Kai were all on guard.
A figure slowly emerged from there. With a clean face, beautiful eyes, slender eyebrows, and a beautiful woman dressed in jade-colored clothes, she completely appeared in Yan Zhuo's field of vision. This person looks about the same age as Yan Zhuo.
Yan Zhuo stared at the man, looking carefully.
"Hey, there's anyone else here?"
The woman had just climbed up from the gentle slope, and only then did she see Yan Zhuo and the others standing in front of her.
"It's a coincidence that you're here, too. I thought everyone was drinking tea in the tent for fun, but I didn't expect you to be so different......"
The woman spoke to herself, not in the slightest embarrassed by the fact that she had not replied. She looked at Yan Zhuo carefully, looked at Yan Zhuo's calm eyes, and in the end, she even let out a silver bell-like laugh, and her smile was very infectious, making people feel that this person was a warm person at a glance.
Yan Zhuo stood in place, still not speaking.
"Since we met, we are fate, so let's be friends. The woman seemed to be very pleasing to the eye, and as soon as they met, they gave a signal to make friends.
"I'm Han Caishan, my father Han Mu, which young lady are you?" Han Caishan's eyes widened, and there was a look of curiosity and hope in them, and people couldn't bear to refuse.
It turned out to be the daughter of General Han, and the words were clear. General Han has only one wife, and has a son and a daughter, the family is very simple and harmonious, this Han Caishan has been pampered by everyone since she was a child, but it is rare that she has not grown crooked, and she has been infected with the domineering spirit of the second ancestor, but is extremely frank, direct, kind, and cute.
She used to envy General Han's family.
In this life, Yan Zhuo, who was unwilling to make friends again, opened his mouth like a god, "Yan Zhuo, Zhenguo Mansion." ”
Yan Zhuo didn't say her father's name, when it came to Yan Zhuo, who didn't know, such an ugly girl without salt.
"Ah, it turns out that you are the legendary Yan Zhuo, it's not the same as you imagined. ”
Hearing the name Yan Zhuo, Han Caishan did not show a trace of contempt, but was full of interest, looking like she was inquiring about secrets and exploring the root cause.
What is legendary, Yan Zhuo resisted the urge to hold his forehead, this Miss Han is really direct.
"In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand mes, and naturally they are different. Yan Zhuo said lightly.
It was a perfunctory sentence, but she didn't expect Han Caishan to really listen to it, she looked serious and nodded, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense." Although I just met you, I see that you are different from the rumors, and sure enough, the rumors are not credible. ”
She shook her head old-fashionedly, "'On paper, you will eventually feel shallow, and you must do it if you know this', I think it will be changed to 'Rumors and rumors are not credible, and you need to see people yourself'." ”
She smiled and changed a good poem into a vulgar sentence that was nothing. Yan Zhuo was so clever that she laughed.
"Look, you're smiling, yes, how nice you laugh. My dad always told me to 'laugh at tomorrow', no matter how big the setback, beat it with a smile!"
As she spoke, Han Caishan also raised her arms, clenched her fists, and made a gesture of effort.
She is really a pistachio, Yan Zhuo looked at Han Caishan's smiling face, and the dead door closed somewhere in his heart quietly opened the crack.
In this way, for a few hours, Yan Zhuo and Han Caishan sat quietly on this gentle slope, one kept talking, the other listened carefully, from time to time, they also looked at each other and smiled, as if they had known each other for many years, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Both of them feel very comfortable, Yan Zhuo usually belongs to the type of talking less, therefore, she is not willing to talk more, and strives to maintain the heat in the human field, so that everyone is comfortable, she feels tired, and there is no need, important people, she will care, but there are not many words.
However, Han Caishan is the complete opposite type.
She likes to talk and, of course, meets the type of person she likes, and talks a lot more. But many people are disgusted with her because of this, and they hide when they see her, thinking that she is always talking non-stop and too noisy. Yan Zhuo's appearance perfectly solved her desire to talk to people, and she could see that Yan Zhuo was still listening so seriously.
She couldn't have been happier.
