When Liu Zhang came to the provincial capital, Sheng Yaoshan immediately notified Mr. Song Tao and Liu Xian.
Mr. Songtao obviously didn't have the slightest affection for the third prince, King Huaide, and only said: "This old man is already a grassroots citizen who has resigned from office and returned to his hometown, and he can't reach his aloof prince."
"Sir, Brother Sanhuang is here, and Xian'er will go there because of love and reason. Brother Yaoshan will take Xian'er to say hello tomorrow, and he will come back. How are you, sir?" Although Liu Xian is immature, he can speak He does things in a royal and safe manner.
"En." Mr. Song Tao only responded.
"Baa." At this moment, the sound of sheep bleating suddenly came from outside the door. It must be that the young man who sold the sheep went to deliver the sheep again.
"Hehe, the Northwest is good at mutton. These days, the dishes of the girl in the southeast and northwest are changing and improving. The old man actually forgot the taste of mutton. I am really greedy. Yaoshan, you will go out and buy a sheep later. Let that girl cook at home some other day!" Mr. Songtao swallowed and said with a smile.
It seems that as long as food is mentioned, even the annoying things can be swept away.
"Hehe, it's a blessing to follow Mr. Sheng!" Sheng Yaoshan accepted the order cheerfully, and went to buy sheep.
At that time, the governor of Xi'an was surnamed Gu Mingjingxian. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was ranked second in the 24th year of Chengde. It only took five years for a weak scholar to rank among the governors of the provincial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Being in the third grade of Zhengzheng can be said to be a success at a young age.
Although he has only been a parent official in Xi'an for two years, he has managed Xi'an in an orderly manner and has a good reputation among the common people.
If we talk about it, Mr. Gu is still Mr. Songtao's disciple. He won the praise of the emperor and Mr. Song with his beautiful and pragmatic essay in the palace examination back then!
It's just that Mr. Song Tao has always acted in a low-key manner, since the court returned to his hometown. It is even more hidden in the city, so although it has been some time since I came to Xi'an, even Mr. Gu who is good at observing the people's sentiments has not yet found the whereabouts of his mentor.
only. This time, the visit of King Huaide Liu Zhang really made Gu Jingxian a big headache.
The day before yesterday, I took a group of suspects into custody. I heard that my subordinates were sent to custody under the order of General Wu Kuisheng. The trial of this case has not yet been completed, and Liu Zhang, the King of Huaide, came here uninvited. conduct. Entertain Liu Zhang during the day and interrogate Duan Qi at night.
However, that Duan Qi's mouth was very rigid, and the sudden interrogation for two consecutive nights still failed to make him speak.
Gu Jingxian was helpless. He had to be temporarily detained in the prison, and the trial will continue after Liu Zhang leaves.
It's just... I heard that General Sheng has arrived in the provincial capital, and I heard that Liu Zhang's entourage mentioned that the Ninth Prince Liu Xian will also come to the government office tomorrow. I have heard that the Master has accepted His Highness the Ninth Prince as an apprentice. Could it be that Mr. Song Tao, an old man, has also come to the provincial capital
Gu Jingxian had all kinds of speculations in his mind.
"My lord, my lord!" Outside Mr. Song Tao's small courtyard. There was a rattling of the horse's hooves, Chang Sheng pushed open the door, only to see Xiao Anzi fall off the horse in a dusty manner.
"Little Anzi!" Chang Sheng was taken aback.
"Uncle Sheng, have you seen my son? Xiao Anzi came back from the capital without stopping, I hope you don't miss your son taking a bath!" Xiao Anzi said. Before he could catch his breath, he took out a cloth bag from his bosom, which must have contained Ren Yue's medicated bath powder.
"Xiao Anzi, come in and rest quickly. Master Ren is out. The master said that he probably won't be back in the next few days." Changsheng said while pulling Xiao Anzi in, taking advantage of Xiao Anzi's rest time, he took these few days All the gossip about what happened in the past few days came out, and Xiao Anzi was taken aback when he heard it!
But where did the son go? The third prince has also arrived, it seems that this provincial capital is very lively recently!
After a busy day, when Wen Shouzheng returned home with gentleness and a slightly tired body as usual, Mrs. Zhou was already sitting in the courtyard with a gloomy face and sighed.
"Mother, what's the matter with you? Where's your brother?" Rourou asked with concern.
"Your brother came back from Mr. Songtao and went out with a few schoolmates. Rou'er, you've been tired all day, go back and have a rest, mother and your father have something to say." Zhou shrugged off Wenrou, Pulling Wen Shouzheng straight to the bedroom.
"Oh, I'm really tired." Rourou said to herself, rubbing her sore arms by herself, and really went to rest.
In the past few days, she has been taking care of Mr. Song Tao and his party, Ren Yue's injury, and the two life and death experiences, which really exhausted her.
"His mother, what is so mysterious!" Wen Shouzheng asked cheerfully.
"You're still laughing! As a father, you don't even know what happened to your daughter? If it wasn't for the neighbors who came to congratulate me today, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark!" Mrs. Zhou Blame Road.
"Congratulations? What congratulations?" Wen Shouzheng blinked a few times with a blank expression on his face.
"You old man, you really don't know? I heard from Aunt Liu and Zhang's sister-in-law next door that I saw General Sheng riding a horse with our daughter yesterday, and they roared away on the streets of the provincial capital in such a grand manner! Everyone But they are all watching!" Zhou said seriously.
"Hehe, then Aunt Liu and Zhang's sister-in-law have met General Sheng?" Wen Shouzheng was delighted. How could a few middle-aged women still know General Sheng, the military leader of the Great Zhou, who lived in front of the stove all day
"I didn't say it was General Sheng, but the man in the blue shirt and the maroon horse is extremely handsome. Besides General Sheng, who else could it be?!" Mrs. Zhou said with a glare at Wen Shouzheng.
"Then General Sheng and our daughter ride a horse together, what's so strange? Maybe it's because of the rush, and our Rou'er doesn't know how to ride a horse, so of course we have to ride together!" Wen Shouzheng said will explain.
"Say you're an elm-head! You spend all your time chopping vegetables and cooking as a father, but have you ever thought about what your daughter thinks! Our Rou'er is also thirteen this year, and it's the age when a matchmaker gets married. Riwo is in the back kitchen of Zuixian Tower, haven't you heard that the officers and soldiers in the entire provincial capital have spread the word that General Sheng is going to marry a woman in a water-colored dress as the general's wife? What color dress is she wearing!" Zhou poked Wen Shouzheng's forehead with his hand, and said angrily.
"Ah! I really didn't pay attention, it looks like it's the color of water these few days!" Wen Shouzheng hesitated a little, "His mother, don't tell me, Rou'er really leaves early and returns late these days, and slips out from time to time Doing some private business, could it be that our Rou'er was spotted by General Sheng while staying at Mr. Song Tao's house a few days ago?!" Wen Shouzheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Bah, bah, bah! You old Wen Shouzheng. With a father like you, our Rou'er is out of luck!" Zhou stood up, and said angrily, "You don't even think about it. What is the status of General Sheng? Can you take a fancy to a small family like ours? Even if General Sheng likes Rou'er for a while, but according to our status, Rou'er will be a concubine even if he really marries! General Sheng is a Good man, but don't even think about it, his younger sister is Miss Sheng there! It's not like she hasn't come to make trouble! If Rou'er is really married, with such a sister-in-law, how can life be better? I don't care! I just Rou'er is such a girl. Holding it in my hand is a treasure, I don't want Rou'er to marry and live the life of serving others, and I don't want Rou'er to suffer that useless attitude!" Zhou said and stretched out his hand to wipe away tears. This made Wen Shouzheng feel sad.
"His mother, look at what you said. It seems to be the real thing! I will ask Rou'er tomorrow, and I will find a chance to ask General Sheng. Maybe it is a misunderstanding?" Wen Zhouzheng persuaded.
"Even if it's the real thing, you have to give it back to me! I'm just Rou'er as a girl, I'm a woman, I don't want Rou'er to be rich and rich, I just want Rou'er to be loved by someone!" Zhou wiped her eyes and turned her back turn around. Never talk to Wen Shouzheng again.
"Oh... my daughter is growing up!" Wen Shouzheng sighed heavily, and said to himself, in fact, General Sheng is also quite good! There are so many people in Dazhou who are crushing their heads, our family Rou'er is sent to be a child, and my father's face is also radiant, hehe. General's father-in-law. It's just that Miss Sheng is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp!
That night, Ren Yue still lived alone in the small courtyard left by Nangong Xue...
"Squeak." The door was pushed open again, and a nimble figure flashed in.
"Hungry, there are too many things in Zuixianlou today. Parents talked late again, and I managed to escape." Rourou said, taking out meals from the food box one by one, slowly helping Ren Yue sat over.
"There is Miss Lao Wen, Ren Yue is not hungry, she lies down all day and doesn't go out, Miss Wen doesn't have to worry about it." Ren Yue smiled shallowly, paused with his chopsticks, but looked affectionately at the tenderness beside him.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Rou Rou felt weird, her face was hot, Ren Yue's calm gaze, even if she looked at it for a long time, she would feel *.
"Hehe, Ren Yue is rude." Ren Yue withdrew his gaze and focused on the dishes.
Exquisite stuffed tofu, refreshing fried yam mushrooms, delicious steamed fish, crispy chicken bones, and a snow pear soup with rock sugar tremella that moistens the lungs and clears heat, paired with crystal clear white rice, makes Ren Yue appetite open.
I said I wasn't hungry just now, but in a blink of an eye four side dishes and a bowl of soup were clean.
Rourou looked at it and felt heartwarming, and was about to clean it up, but unexpectedly.
"Rou'er." A whisper echoed in her ears like a dream.
"Clang." The chopsticks landed on the ground, and he gently and panicked to pick them up.
"Rou'er." As soon as the chopsticks were picked up on the table, before she could sit still, there was another soft call, and she immediately raised her eyes.
Ren Yue sat in front of her calmly, watching her very seriously, obviously those two soft calls came from Ren Yue.
In an instant, the two lines of tears could no longer be tolerated, and flowed silently along the gentle eye sockets.
"Tell me, why are you crying?" Ren Yue took a white handkerchief from his sleeve and slowly handed it to Wen Rou.
He was gentle and didn't answer, didn't say a word, just quietly let the tears rage.
The slender and fair hands twisted the veil and gently wiped it on Gentle's face. Ren Yue's hand was very light and slow. The veil was of good texture, soft as silk, but he couldn't stop the tenderness in Gentle's eyes. tears.
"Tell me, who am I?" Ren Yue paused for a moment and asked slowly.
"You are Ren Yue." Gentle murmured.
"Then who are you?" Ren Yue asked immediately.
"I'm Rou'er." As soon as these words came out, Wen Rou broke down in tears.
