Chapter 24: Ruoyi

Views:

The visit to the temple fair ended early because of the three people who met Mu Lingbao. On the way back, Mu Hanzhang sat on the back of a horse, remembering how the three of them had been beaten and smiled apologetically, he couldn't help but want to laugh .

Looking down and seeing the man in his arms pursing his lips and holding back a smile, Jing Shao decided to find opportunities to beat the three more times in the future. When Mu Lingbao pushed his younger brother into the water, the two cousins were also present. When it was March 9 this year, they were thrown into the river for a dip.

Chengwang's Courtyard is in the east of the city, and the barren forest allocated to him by the Beiweihou Mansion is also in the east of the city. Not far from riding Xiao Hei out of the city, a barren forest full of rocks and rocks appeared in front of him. Mu Hanzhang turned his head to look at Jing Shao, who was thinking about it. Are you still thinking about the woman in pink? Thinking of his reaction at that time, the corners of the upwardly curved mouth slowly pursed into a line. "The small spoon..."

"Huh?" Jing Shao came back to his senses and looked down at him.

Who is that woman? The words he wanted to ask came to his lips and swallowed them back. Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips and turned to look at the barren forest: "What do you think this barren forest can grow to make money?"

"Desolate forest?" Jing Shao looked up at the forest and sneered, "This kind of forest has more rocks and less soil, and you can't run horses and hunt..." Having said this, Jing Shao suddenly pulled the reins and stopped to look at the desert in front of him. Lin pondered.

This forest has at least 300 acres, all of which are rocky and miscellaneous forests, as well as dense dwarf trees and weeds. You can't see the situation inside at all. It is a good place to station troops! Moreover, it is only twenty miles away from the capital! It's a pity that the land in the suburbs of Beijing is owned by the owner. When Taizu conquered the world, he distributed the land around the capital to several founding princes. If he openly buys this useless deserted forest, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

"Junqing, do you know who this forest belongs to?" If there is this forest, many things will be easy to handle. If there is an emergency in the future, there will also be a guarantee. Even if it takes some effort, Jing Shao wants to Got this land.

Mu Hanzhang lowered his head and sighed softly: "This forest is now most of my property."

Jing Shao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and kissed the person in his arms on the cheek: "Jun Qing, you are really my lucky star!"

"Huh?" Now, it was Mu Hanzhang's turn to be stunned.

"How about I exchange the hundred acres of fertile fields in Qixian for this barren forest with you?" Jing Shao lightly kicked the horse's belly, making Xiao Hei Sa Huan run.

"If you want to use it, just use it." Mu Hanzhang felt that Jingshao was trying to help him solve this useless land. "It's impossible to exchange a hundred acres of fertile land for this thing."

"It makes, this barren forest is worth more than thousands of acres of fertile land to me!" Jing Shao chuckled and hugged the person in his arms tightly, making Xiao Hei run faster.

In the evening, the two guards sent by Jingshao to look for someone came back.

"This subordinate is incompetent." The two guards knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Forget it, perhaps this king got it wrong." Jing Shao waved his hand to let them go down, frowning in thought. The woman I saw at the temple fair today really looked like Ge Ruoyi.

The reason why Jing Shao attaches so much importance is because this person is a key to pacifying Sanfan.

The first time Jingshao met Ge Ruoyi in the last life was at the banquet of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. This woman's song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" jumped so wonderfully that he still remembered it fresh. So that when I saw her in the palace of the Southeast King a few years later, I recognized her at a glance. She had a bloody feud with the Southeast King, but she came to Beijing to file a lawsuit but was intercepted by the Fourth Prince.

At that time, Jing Shao led the army to pacify three times. Although the King of Southeast was lustful and greedy for money, he was not ambiguous in the war. The arrow that almost killed him in the eighteenth year of Hongzheng was given by the general of the King of Southeast. When he thought he was going to fold in the southeast, the news of the sudden death of the king of the southeast suddenly came. And the king of the southeast died in the hands of this weak-looking little woman!

When Mu Hanzhang came to ask Jing Shao to take a bath, seeing his expression immersed in memories, he couldn't help clenching his sleeves quietly.

There has been no news about Ge Ruoyi's whereabouts, so Jing Shao put it aside for the time being.

With his own princess who helped to copy books, Jing Shao felt assured that he would practice martial arts with Ren Feng and the others in the courtyard every day. He finally realized why Mu Lingbao's three people always bullied Mu Hanzhang, and it felt great to have someone do the homework for him.

Originally, it was good to stay for two days, but Jing Shao didn't want to go back once he stayed.

On the ninth day of April, Beiwei Hou's birthday, in addition to the birthday picture drawn by Mu Hanzhang himself, Jing Shao also gave a generous gift. Beiwei Hou Mujin saw Jing Shao more intimate than last time, but he was still vague about Jing Shao's implicit intention to win over. Jing Shao didn't care either, he knew what kind of mentality the old fox was holding, Beiweihou, so he put his attitude high when he was courting, and didn't force it.

To everyone's surprise, Jing Yu, the fourth prince, also came to celebrate his birthday, but Jing Yu put down the gift and exchanged greetings with Mu Jin for a while and left, because he was still on the ground, and he deliberately let the grace his mother begged for only a long time to come out. The families of these princes in the capital are rarely related by marriage, and the Beiwei Houfu and the step-empress's mother's Yongchangbofu are no exception, so it is reasonable for the fourth prince to ask grace to give the Beiweihou a birthday.

Seeing that his father was more enthusiastic about the fourth prince than Jing Shao, Mu Hanzhang felt cold in his heart, and told his father that Jing Shao was also being punished and could not stay for long, so he took him away.

"Junqing, I'm fine." Jing Shao was sitting in the carriage, looking at her own princess with a cold face, she felt warm in her heart, and the only people who would be angry because he was wronged, except for her mother and brother, there was only Junqing. .

"The fourth prince has reached the age of choosing the right concubine. It just so happens that the young lady of Beiwei Hou's mansion has not yet married. My father..." Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, his father knew that Jing Shao and the fourth prince were not of the same faction, so he was still doing it. This kind of plan, although this can protect the North Weihou Mansion, but it is really chilling to favor one over the other.

"Junqing," Jing Shao took him into his arms distressedly, "Born in the family of a prince, don't force some things."

Mu Hanzhang sighed, put his body soft against Jing Shao's chest, and said softly, "I know..."

"咴~" The walking carriage suddenly stopped, and the two people in the carriage slammed forward. Jing Shao quickly hugged the person in his arms tightly and supported the bottom of the car with one hand, so that he didn't knock it.

"My lord, forgive me, the little one should be damned." The driver hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"What's the matter?" Jing Shao asked aloud after seeing that the person in his arms was safe and sound.

"The horses of the fourth prince and the guards suddenly stopped, and the young ones don't rush to stop." The driver opened half of the door curtain to show them the situation ahead.

I saw a woman in pink knelt in front of the horse with a bloody sign. Jing Yu, dressed in a dark yellow prince's uniform, sat on the horse. After hearing what the woman said, she suddenly jumped off the horse and walked towards the woman.

"Crap!" Jing Shao let go of the person in his arms, jumped out of the car quickly, rushed to the woman before Jing Yu, grabbed her arm, "Ruoyi, I finally found you!"

"You..." The woman kneeling on the ground was Ge Ruoyi. When she heard that Beiwei Hou was born today, she stopped a person who seemed to have the highest status with a complaint, but unexpectedly, a man dressed in Yue Baihua suddenly rushed out. The man in uniform suddenly grabbed her and called out her boudoir name, which only frightened her to stay on the spot.

"Brother Sanhuang, do you know this woman?" Jing Yu frowned, "She said just now that she was going to sue the imperial court."

"She is a dancer I met in the desert," Jing Shao pointed to his head, "People from Fanbang, this is a little unclear." Without waiting for Ge Ruoyi to explain, Jing Shao knocked him unconscious with a knife. Throw it to the guard next to him.

Hearing this, Jing Yu looked at Ge Ruoyi up and down, and saw that although this woman was haggard, she couldn't hide her beauty, she was indeed a rare beauty. He didn't doubt Jing Shao's words, because the woman did say what her name was Ruoyi just now.

"I'll send you a better one for my brother another day." Jing Shao patted Jing Yu's shoulder with a smile, and the two of them walked away with a few polite words. Jing Shao turned around and exhaled, and asked the guard to send Ge Ruoyi back to the other courtyard first.

In the afternoon, Mu Hanzhang sat in the study and continued to help Jing Shao copy books, and Jing Shao's expression after seeing the woman kept appearing in front of him. Yesterday I left him and chased him out, and today it's the same again, and I went to see the woman after lunch...

The pain in my heart was unbearable, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that I had copied the wrong line. I had to tore the page and start over again, but I wrote three words "Shao" uncontrollably!
