Li Rong didn't know whether Cui Yulang was normal or not.
Anyway, the time has been set and everything has been arranged. She will be able to have a good talk with Cui Yulang after waiting for the Manchu official to take a break in three days.
She couldn't see Cui Yulang in the city, and she had eyes and ears everywhere, so she could only make an appointment outside the city.
Coincidentally, Pei Wenxuan thought so too.
After bringing Mrs Wen into the Pei mansion left by his father, it took him some time and a little improvement to settle down.
He didn't bring many things with him, which made him feel more comfortable, and felt as if he was just out for a vacation and had to go back sooner or later.
I don't know if it was because there weren't many things, or because Li Rong was not around, I always felt that the room was empty. I slept on the bed at night, tossing and turning, and somehow felt that the bed was too big.
I finally fell asleep. Sometimes I raised my hand in the middle of the night and felt that there was no one around me, and I would suddenly wake up. For a moment, I felt like I was still in a previous life. Everything in this life was just a beautiful dream. When he came over, he went back to the days when he was alone in his last life. He was sober with fright, and slowly remembered what happened, and recovered.
When I saw Li Rong in the hall in the daytime, I knew that I shouldn't look at it, but I couldn't help but want to look at her.
I don't know if he's not here, how Li Rong is sleeping, and think about him.
So after such a torment, the days are like years, but it can't last for three days. When the rest time is up, Pei Wenxuan decides to see her.
If it is inconvenient in the city, we have to go outside the city. We will take a rest on the 10th day of the summer. If we miss today, we have to wait for the next 10 days. So before dawn, Pei Wenxuan asked Tongye to knock on Zhao Chongjiu’s door and put the His news was passed on to Li Rong.
Zhao Chongjiu honestly forwarded the news to Li Rong. Li Rong just woke up and was getting dressed and preparing to go out of the city to meet Cui Yulang.
When she got the news of Zhao Chongjiu, she was a little confused.
She also wanted to see Pei Wenxuan, but Cui Yulang had already made an appointment, and the matter could not be delayed. She struggled for a moment, and then suddenly realized it.
She was struggling with this kind of thing
"Speak to the concubine, I have something to do when I go out of the city today. I'll take a rest next time. It's a serious matter, so he doesn't have to worry about it."
Li Rong raised her eyes and instructed Zhao Chongjiu, then turned her head to let someone get what she wanted.
Zhao Chongjiu immediately sent someone to report back to Pei Wenxuan. When Pei Wenxuan got the message, Li Rong was about to leave the city.
But at this time, Pei Wenxuan was also ready, and when he heard Li Rong reject him, he couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter with her?"
"The person who answered didn't say anything."
Tong Ye looked at Pei Wenxuan's expression and said cautiously, "Why don't you have a good rest today, son?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak. He sat for a while, but stood up. He whispered, "No, I have to go and see."
Having said that, Pei Wenxuan hurried out the door.
Pei Wenxuan's mansion was closer to the city gate than Li Rong. After calculating the time, he took a shortcut and left the city gate ahead of time, waiting at the city gate.
Li Rong wanted to hide from the public, so naturally she would not go out with the carriage of the Princess Mansion. Ordinary carriages were mixed with the crowd, and she couldn't tell who Li Rong was.
Pei Wenxuan was in the carriage, rolled the curtain and stared at it. After waiting for a while, there was an ordinary carriage. After rolling up the curtain, he said a few words to the guard, and the guard let him go. Pei Wenxuan watched for a while. He lowered the curtain and whispered, "Follow."
Li Rong's carriage walked out of the city slowly, and after a while, Li Rong listened to the people outside: "Your Highness, someone seems to be following us."
Li Rong opened her eyes, tapped her fan on her palm, thought about it, and said, "Let someone go to the teahouse to find Cui Yulang, tell him to change the place, and wait for me at the reed pavilion. When we get to the front, find a forest to stop and let everyone rest. Wait for me to get off," Li Rong lowered her voice, "Leave two people to help me keep an eye on the back and clear the road."
The guard nodded and followed Li Rong's arrangement.
The carriage walked forward for a while, then stopped, and the guard quickly turned around and asked Pei Wenxuan in the carriage: "Sir, the carriage has stopped in front of you."
Pei Wenxuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Keep going."
This section of the road is not long, there is no need to stop the carriage to rest, Li Rong still stopped, must have found him. If he still stopped, he was afraid that Li Rong would be disturbed. The best plan now is to make Li Rong think he is gone and wait for Li Rong in front.
Pei Wenxuan figured out Li Rong's thoughts. With Li Rong's character, she couldn't just get off the carriage and stop for a while. After she got off the carriage, she should make a disguise and let people pretend to be her to leave, and she would go second. road…
Do not.
Pei Wenxuan remembered how Li Rong ambush Yang Quan in the villa. Li Rong might not even take the second route, she would be more secure, and she would leave a group of guards to follow her. Walk.
Pei Wenxuan guessed Li Rong's plan, so he asked people to stop the carriage, and after leading two guards, he rushed into the wood next to him, he rolled up his sleeves, and instructed the guard next to him, "Wait when you see a guard running by. , you go after them."
The guard responded, and ambush beside him at Pei Wenxuan's request. And Pei Wenxuan chose an old tree to climb up, crouched on the tree, and stared at the surroundings.
Li Rong changed clothes with Jinglan in the carriage. She was wearing a veil and disguised as an ordinary woman. As soon as Jinglan and her changed clothes, she could no longer see the difference. Everyone was chattering and chatting on the side, and returned to the carriage after a while.
The carriage moved forward for a while, and Li Rong waved to the two guards left in the dark, and the guards ran away immediately.
The guard walked all the way. Pei Wenxuan saw the guard running over from the tree. He waved at the man who was lying in the grass. After Li Rong's man ran away, his man ran after Li Rong's man. past.
Li Rong waited in the dark for a while, guessing that everyone should walk about the same distance, and finally turned around and ran out from under the tree, hurriedly running towards the reed pavilion.
There was no one of her at this time, and she ran all the way in a hurry. Pei Wenxuan sat on the tree and frowned as he watched Li Rong run all the way.
What is Li Rong's reaction
He was a little puzzled in his heart, but he didn't say anything. When Li Rong ran under his tree and ran away, Pei Wenxuan got down from the tree and ran after Li Rong.
Li Rong ran and looked around, while Pei Wenxuan hid along the way. Neither of them were special spies, but they maintained a strange harmony. After running all the way, Li Rong finally arrived at the reed pavilion.
Cui Yulang was already waiting there early. He was wearing a green shirt, his hair was half-turned with a headband, and he held a jade flute in his hand. The moment he heard Li Rong's footsteps, he turned around with a smile. The arc of the turn is nothing but a delicate pretense.
Li Rong was panting heavily, resting her hands on the pillars of the long pavilion, watching Cui Yulang perform, she had expected it, but when Cui Yulang turned around, she was so choked that she even paused for breath.
Li Rong was still like this, and Pei Wenxuan, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help it. He only hated that he didn't kill him last time.
Although rationally told Pei Wenxuan that Li Rong took the initiative to find Cui Yulang for business purposes, he still felt an eyesore when he saw the two standing together.
Fortunately, he still resisted the urge to resist, squatted in the dark, and cooperated with Li Rong's arrangements.
"Your Highness." Cui Yulang saw Li Rong entering the pavilion and saluted Li Rong respectfully. Li Rong held on to the pillar for a while, then waved his hand, indicating that he would be exempted from the salute, and then walked into the long pavilion, saying, "There are people following today, we will make a long story short. ."
"In your last case, the local squire took your friend's exam spot?"
"Yes." Cui Yulang listened to Li Rong's question about the business, and immediately corrected his expression. Li Rong held the teacup and said slowly, "What's the matter?"
"Wangzhou Zhangping County."
"Your hometown?"
"Yes."
"You're an official of the Ministry of Rites," Li Rong raised her eyes with a half-smile, "Isn't this a good deal?"
"His Royal Highness is joking," Cui Yulang smiled bitterly, "It's just Qingshui Yamen, who has no real power, what can you do?"
Li Rong sat on the bench that surrounded the long pavilion and looked at the small river outside the bench, her expression was calm: "You have complaints."
Cui Yulang didn't speak, Li Rong turned her head, looked at Cui Yulang, and laughed: "Last time you said you offered a pillow seat..." Li Rong straightened up and walked to Cui Yulang, she stared at Cui Yulang, Cui Yulang smiled and said nothing.
Cui Yulang is a frequent visitor to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion. He is used to rolling around in the brothel. It is said that he does not need to spend money. Every time he checks out, he composes a poem, which will be the most popular song in Huajing.
Such a person, facing Li Rong's eyes and scrutiny, he did not retreat at all, he even took a step forward, approached Li Rong, looked down at Li Rong, and said affectionately, "What do you think of Your Highness?"
There was a crisp "pat", and Pei Wenxuan watched their movements from a distance. Although he couldn't hear the content clearly, he couldn't help it, and he directly broke the branch in his hand.
Li Rong felt as if she had heard something, but she felt that it was an illusion. She swept the reed field next to her, but no one was there. She thought about it, made a gesture towards Cui Yulang, and walked away to the river again. A little, and then lowered his voice: "Are you for your friends, or for yourself?"
"Your Highness, why did you say this?" Cui Yulang was a little strange, Li Rong chuckled lightly and looked up at Cui Yulang: "Master Cui never thought of doing something in the officialdom?"
In the previous life, Cui Yulang lingered in the brothel, and Yu Chaozheng had no interest at all. But Li Rong had read his poems, and always felt that such poems were not written by someone who had no interest in officialdom.
The most important thing is that Cui Yulang's family is not rich. His father is only a teacher in an ordinary private school. From childhood to adulthood, he needs and spends a lot of thought and attention.
To pay such a high price to enter the officialdom, do you have any ambitions? When I left back then, I was afraid it was nothing but a disappointed departure.
After all, people like Cui Yulang had no place in the officialdom of Daxia back then.
But this time, he came to complain to her.
Not only complaining, but also recommending a pillow seat with her, trying to become her lover, as long as he becomes her lover, he will have more help.
"Actually, I understand what Mr. Cui meant." Li Rong leaned against the pillar and looked at Cui Yulang with a half-smiling smile: "The complaint is just an excuse, and the self-recommended pillow seat is the truth. The reason why Mr. Cui proposed the pillow seat is because Mr. Cui is now, " Li Rong raised her hand and propped her head up, looking at Cui Yulang, "I just want a backer."
Cui Yulang smiled and didn't speak, Li Rong thought for a while: "But I'm also very strange, since you want to be attached to someone, why didn't you act sooner, and," Li Rong raised her fan and pointed to herself, "Why did you choose me? Woolen cloth?"
