Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 72

[Chapter 45 (1)]

Lin Chengyou looked up and thought about it, although Teng Yuyi had a big temper and loved to remember revenge, his knowledge and wrist were not bad, knowing that this was someone else’s magic weapon, there was no reason not to say hello and secretly go down.

So why didn’t she pay it back?

It wasn’t that day when he gave it to her, he didn’t make it clear enough that she mistakenly thought the bell had been given to her.

But even if Teng Yuyi didn’t understand Taoism, he should be able to see that Xuan yin ling was a rare magic weapon in the world, and he was not related to her, so how could he send her a different treasure for no reason.

Maybe she was tripped up by something, but it was all a day and a night, and even if she couldn’t find time, she could always send the people below to deliver things.

He pondered and pondered, his curiosity could not be suppressed, but it was a pity that he could not go out of the palace today, otherwise he could personally ask her for an understanding.

Let’s wait until tomorrow out of the palace. But then he had to meet her again. Hey, it’s a bit annoying, I thought there would be no more intersection with her, how to expect to go to Tengfu.

Xiao Gongren did not hear Lin Chengyou open his mouth and carefully asked, “Your Highness Shizi?”

“I know, let the slaves not care, I have my own plans.”

He said and turned back, but someone behind him called him: “Ada.”

Lin Chengyou turned his head and looked over, and at the end of the corridor came a person, with a correct appearance and a gentle demeanor, who was the prince.

“Qiqi.”

The prince’s concerned expression was exactly the same as that of the saint: “Grandpa has not shown you, is the wound seriously troubled?”

Lin Chengyou smiled, “Look, the wound is very shallow, and I wasted my uncle’s medicine powder.” The

prince made a gesture to lightly shake Lin Chengyou’s punch: “I don’t know you yet, the sky is falling down like no one, I can’t find you in the first few days, I thought, when I meet you, I will definitely have a good fight with you, today for your injury, let you go first.”

Lin Chengyou sideways dodged the prince’s fist wind and raised his eyebrows: “The prince has learned a new move?” This is not compared to it, how do you know who will let whom a horse at that time? “Crazy

boy, if you are injured, you don’t have to provoke me, and I will never do anything with you today.”

The palace people snickered, the prince is usually the most lenient and stable, but once he sees the king shizi, he can’t avoid fighting and quarreling, which is not surprising, there are not many children of this generation in the palace, there are only four brothers, the saint and the queen gave birth to two princes, Aqi Alin, and the king and his wife gave birth to two brothers, Ada and Ashuang.

Among the four brothers, Aqi and Chengwang Shizi, who have just been crowned as princes, are the closest in age, the brothers have grown up since childhood, they have not been separated from food, clothing, and housing, this fight has been fought from small to large, which time to meet but two moves is called strange.

There were already palace people there to tell the emperor, and Changyi and Ah Zhi gladly ran out from the corner of the corridor: “Brother Prince.” The

evening family banquet is located in the Daming Palace where the empress usually lives, the empress Liu Bingyu is responsible for the recipe, the Shang Food Bureau is responsible for cooking, and when the dishes are served, it is really new and interesting, several dim sums are made silky as cream, and the soup is also white as jade. The juniors were thundering with joy and sweating profusely.

At the end of the meal, the empress claimed to have eaten too much to consume, and took Ah Zhi and Chang Yi to the Bibo Pond to feed the fish, while the prince and Lin Chengyou played chess at the Yingcui Pavilion, and the emperor sat quietly next to him, drinking tea while watching chess.

The gentle night breeze accompanied by the fragrance of flowers gently stirred the butter yellow silk around the water pavilion, and the queen stood in a cloud of bright moonlight, bending down to hand the fish food in her hand to the two children.

Overhearing a burst of hearty laughter broke out in the Yingcui Pavilion, the queen got up and looked over, it turned out that Lin Chengyou deliberately wanted to repent of the chess, the prince held it in a serious way, but he could not resist Lin Chengyou’s nonsense, the saint listened to a few words and could not hold on, the first one laughed, he laughed, provoked Lin Chengyou and the prince to throw away the chess pieces and laugh.

The empress looked at her husband’s smile and felt happy from the bottom of her heart, Chengyou estimated that she had already seen that the emperor’s uncle was worried about political affairs, and thought of coaxing her uncle to be happy, this child was the most witty, how long did it take to enter the palace, how many times did he make the saint laugh.

She laughed and said, “The saint and I would like to hold a family feast every day, but the children are getting older and older every day, and they can bear the joy of kneeling all day.” Last year Jing Yi married a donkey horse, the palace was already deserted a lot, the four of you brothers took turns to go to the army for training, Ah Qi and Ah Dacai came back soon, this year it was Ah Lin’s turn again, although Ah Shuang did not reach the age of training with the army, the first year he went out to play with his grandmother, I kind of want to understand, but also count the daughter intimate, Ah Qi, Ah Da, you give me a good sister, in the future Ah Zhi and Chang Yi have to pick a horse a few years later.

Chang Yi looked up at the small round face of pink: “Ah Niang, why did you and Grandpa suddenly want to open the Yun Yin Academy?”

Last night, she listened to Grandpa and Ah Niang chatting and knew that Yunyin Academy was obviously a women’s academy, but in fact it was hidden for the sons of the clan to choose a concubine, if Brother Qiqi and Brother Ah Qi got a suitable wife from among the ladies in the academy, they would not take her to play with Ah Zhi.

The empress handed the fish food to the palace maid behind her, took her daughter and Ah Zhi’s hand and strolled on the winding veranda: “This matter is not Ah Niang’s temporary intention, I discussed with your aunt in the first year, Yunyin Academy was originally founded by Empress Mu of the Kai Dynasty, aiming to cultivate the masters of the show, the teachings in the academy are not ‘female training’ and ‘female commandments’, but the same as what men have learned, with the main meaning of teaching the subset of the history of reading the scriptures.” Although later generations have repeatedly interrupted the operation of the school for various reasons, but over the years have also cultivated a lot of boudoir husbands, if they can reopen in the hands of Ah Niang, it is really a favor, and this time, the female students recruited are not limited to the thousands of gold of the two high-ranking officials, and the daughters of foreign officials are also among them. The empress’s

voice drifted intermittently into the pavilion through the curtain, and Lin Chengyou was still absent-minded, but when he heard “foreign officials”, he was stunned.

Oh, did my uncle agree to reopen the academy for this reason? If any official of this dynasty did not know the origin of Yunyin Academy, if he could recruit the students of the academy to leave the daughters of several Jiedushi envoys in Beijing to study, and then select a few high-gate marriages for them at the right time, this would undoubtedly be a kind of check and balance for several strong people.

The crown prince also asked, “Grandpa plans to take advantage of this time when the hundred officials enter the capital to report on their duties and formulate this matter?” The

emperor looked solemn for a few minutes, and waved his hand to retreat from the palace people in the pavilion: “Zhongshu Province has already been ordered to prepare a plan, and tonight I will consult with a few old ministers.” When you went to the concert hall in the afternoon, what kind of emissaries did you see? The prince replied, “My

son met Teng Shao of Huainan Province and Peng Sishun of Huaixi Province. Teng Shao led an army to transport 100,000 Shijiang rice into Beijing, which just solved the urgent need for food for the four towns in Guanzhong. Peng Sishun’s body bones are not very good, the head is open-minded, and the in and out are inseparable from the shoulders, according to his son, I am afraid that he will not live this year. “It’s

hard for him.” The emperor sighed, “Since Peng Sishun took over Huaixi Province, he has never lived up to the expectations of the imperial court, and over the years he has been a pastor of Li Shu and an internal inspector of military rong, and has governed the great Huaixi Province in a clean and orderly manner, not only Grandpa, but also hundreds of officials of civil and military affairs have been obedient to him, and yesterday he asked for instructions to transfer military power to his eldest son Peng Zhen, and Grandpa has approved it.”

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin, seemingly surprised.

The emperor looked at Lin Chengyou, every time he talked about the government, this child never interjected indiscriminately, this is where the imperial power harms people, even the flesh and blood relatives are shackled by it, he deeply hates the family affection because of his early experience and is poisoned by the imperial power, especially does not want the children to be bound in front of him, so he sighed: “There is anything taboo in front of the uncle, if you want to say anything.”

Lin Chengyou thought about it and said: “Peng Sishun is extremely good at governing soldiers, Huaixi Province is now on one side, and his neighbors are afraid of it, if the Peng family takes over the military power again, they are afraid that they will raise carbuncles, and when the Peng family’s forces infiltrate into the Central Plains from generation to generation, it may be difficult for the imperial court to regain the military power, why doesn’t the uncle wait for Peng Sishun to die of illness, transfer his eldest son Peng Zhen back to Beijing, entrust him with an official position, and allow Houlu, so that he can not only comfort the loyal subjects, but also avoid the Peng family from having a different heart.” The

emperor looked approvingly, “This is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do.” First of all, peng Sishun has never asked the imperial court for grain for many years. The hundred thousand officers and men of Huaixi Province, what do they eat and what is used on weekdays?

Lin Chengyou said: “This nephew knows that just as the so-called ‘urgent is a soldier, idle is cultivated’, peng Sishun’s loyal army is also fighting and cultivating, and is quite able to provide self-food and pay.” “Exactly

. In addition, in order to stabilize the hearts of the army, Peng Sishun also intended to make the non-commissioned officers marry the local heroes and the people, and over the years, the loyal and righteous army was entangled in Huaixi Province, and it was already a military and civilian family. If the imperial court transferred the descendants of the Peng family without authorization, which general could successfully take over such an army? If the new marshal cannot subdue the local generals, the mutiny is sooner or later. The

crown prince frowned slightly: “What if the loyal rebel army is pulled away from Huaixi Province?”

Lin Chengyou squeezed the chess pieces and secretly wondered, this will not work, if the camp is forcibly pulled out, the loyal rebel army will not only not be able to continue to cultivate itself, but also have hundreds of thousands of mouths to eat.

Emperor: “If you move to another place, the wives and children of a large number of soldiers will also accompany them, and it is not easy for the imperial court to fill the grain of more than 100,000 loyal rebels, and the wives and children of these additional soldiers will need a large amount of rations.” “That’s

why my uncle thought of reopening the academy?” That…… Is Peng Sishun willing to send his granddaughter to Yunyin Academy to study? The

emperor was pleased: “When my uncle asked the courtiers to solicit opinions, Peng Sishun was the first to express his position, and it happened that Peng Zhen’s wife and daughter were on their way to Chang’an, and Peng Zhen also strongly agreed.” The

crown prince and Lin Chengyou looked at each other, and the Peng father and son took the initiative to leave their wives and daughters under the eyes of the imperial court, which was also a gesture of loyalty to the imperial court. In the future, when the imperial court gave the Peng family’s daughter and the gaomen’s sons a marriage, the Peng family would not have any objections if they wanted to come, and they all did this, no wonder Grandpa agreed so quickly to peng Zhen to take over the military power.

“As for Teng Shao…” The emperor added, “Just as Cheng Shou’an of Jiangnan West Province resigned from illness, Grandpa planned to hand over Jiangnan West Province to Teng Shao’s command.”

Lin Chengyou was a little surprised, he had long known that his uncle had faith in Teng Shao, but he did not expect such a trust. Huainan Province not only controls jianghuai taxes, but also shouzhou under its jurisdiction is also crucial, and this state is connected to The Chen Ying Waterway in the north and Luzhou in the south, which is an important “middle road” from the Central Plains to Jianghuai.

Moreover, Shouzhou is rich, and there is a large amount of tea tax revenue every year, and in this state alone, the town navy that provides for Teng Shao is effortless.

If the Jiangnan West Road is assigned to Teng Shao’s jurisdiction, even the Jiangxia junction will be handed over, and the Hanshui Transport Road will be guarded here, which can be described as the most important.

The Emperor asked Lin Chengyou, “Tell me why your uncle arranged this.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “Uncle’s arrangement is perfect.” At the junction of Jiangxi and Xia, under the jurisdiction of one person, Teng Shao would be able to use the xia shui to transport it to prevent Huaixi, and before the Peng family made any move, they would first have to worry about the town navy next to them, and the two sides would contain each other, which would benefit the imperial court with many advantages and disadvantages. It’s just that…… The nephew heard that the Wuning army in Jiangnan West Province had disobeyed the discipline since Li Changqing’s death, and in just three years, he had changed commander several times, and Cheng Shou’an suddenly resigned from the government because he could not serve the people in office, and if General Teng took over this army in a hurry, he did not know what would happen. The

crown prince said in a warm voice: “It is fearful of nuisance to be handed over to others, but when it is handed over to Teng Shao, you have not had a deep friendship with General Teng, but I have personally seen Teng Shao rule the army, this person is righteous and cloudy, and there is nothing in the army who does not admire him.”

Lin Chengyou bowed his head, he forgot that the prince had gone to Teng Shao’s army to train last year, and seriously speaking, Teng Shao counted as half of the prince’s teacher. Every time the prince mentioned Teng Shao, he was heartbroken.

Emperor: “That’s just one of them. Grandpa asked Teng Shao to also manage the Wuning Army, but also because several veteran generals of the Wuning Army had served in the army under Teng Shao’s father Teng Yuanhao in their early years, these people saw Teng Shao, and first had to respectfully call him ‘Sanlang’, even if it was difficult to tame, they did not dare to find trouble for Teng Shao. The two of you should have heard of Teng Yuanhao. The

prince and Lin Chengyou said, “Naturally, I have heard that this gongshi is a heroic figure.” The

emperor nodded, “When Hu rebelled and plotted against Jiangshan, if it were not for Teng Yuanhao’s army to defend Nanyang and Suiyang, Jianghuai’s grain transportation would have been difficult to preserve.” At that time, the imperial court was bent on retaking the two capitals, and the aid to Teng Yuanhao’s army was not timely enough, Teng Yuanhao and his two sons defended the city for several months, after more than two hundred battles of all sizes, beheading nearly 100,000 enemies, and finally due to the exhaustion of the army, the three fathers and sons all died at the hands of Hu rebellion.

Speaking of this, the emperor sighed: “Speaking of details, the imperial court owes a lot to the Teng family. After Teng Yuanhao and his eldest son and second son were martyred, the teng family’s male ding was left with only Teng Shao, Who was only three years old and had not been able to go to the battlefield, and Teng Yuanhao resigned on the eve of his death, and admonished his youngest son to be loyal and filial to the festival. Teng Shao did not live up to the expectations of his father and brother after he became an adult, led the army to the border in his early years, and in recent years stationed in Jianghuai, and now jianghuai people are safe and material, Teng Shao has made great achievements, and the post of marshal in Jiangnan West Province is empty, and there is no more suitable candidate than Teng Shao.

Lin Chengyou secretly thought that there were nearly 200,000 soldiers under Teng Shao’s command when the Zhen Navy and the Wuning Army converged, and even if his uncle trusted Teng Shao again, he would take some precautionary measures under the advice of the courtiers. The reopening of Yunyin Academy was a good way, and I didn’t know that Teng Shaoken would not send his daughter to the academy to study.

Suddenly, I remembered Teng Yuyi’s cunning eyes of the water spirit, and with her nature, how could she be willing to let the imperial court manipulate her marriage?

Guo heard the crown prince ask, “Grandpa, how did General Teng reply to the reopening of the Yunyin Academy?” The

emperor said, “Several jiedushi envoys have expressed their position one after another, but only Teng Shao did not make a sound.” His daughter has been engaged to Duan Ningyuan of the Zhenguo Gongfu since he was a child, but the teng duan family has retired a few days ago, and I think the reason why he hesitates is that he is unwilling to hand over his daughter’s marriage to the royal family to decide, but although the imperial court said that it reopened the Yunyin Academy, it was also unwilling to forcibly marry, and I turned around and privately summoned Teng Shao to have a good chat with him, telling him that this was just a temporary measure, and when he understood the bitter heart of the imperial court, he would not worry about it. At this time,

Changyi and Ah Zhi ran in and dragged Lin Chengyou: “Big Brother Ah is coming out, the fish has been refusing to take the bait, you quickly help us see.”

Lin Chengyou had to put down his chess pieces and got up, just walked to the door, the queen entered the water pavilion: “Speaking of the Wang sisters, I had a relationship with them back then, after my sister married the famous Men Du clan, my sister married General Teng, but I didn’t expect the Little Wang clan to go so early.” Today I learned that General Teng had only one daughter under his knees… Has he not continued the string all these years?

Lin Chengyou’s footsteps stopped, and Changyi and Ah Zhi were stunned.

“Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Lin Chengyou hissed like a toothache and pointed to the wound on his arm: “Pain.”

Chang Yi and Ah Zhi suddenly panicked: “Ah, forget that my brother’s injury is not good.” “Surround Lin Chengyou to see his wounds, even if he remembers going outside to fish.”

Just listen to the emperor: “After the death of Xiao Wang, many people advised Teng Shao to continue the string or take a concubine room, but Teng Shao was willing to entrust his daughter to his wife and sister to take care of the string, and it just so happened that his brother-in-law Du Yuzhi was demoted to Yangzhou as a civil official, and Teng Shao’s daughter has been living in Yangzhou ever since.” A few years later, Teng Shao was finally transferred to Huainan Province as an envoy to Jiedushi, but the seat of the zhen navy had always been in Shouzhou, so although the father and daughter were in the same place, they were also gathered together. Teng Shao lived in the government center for many years, and he refused to continue the string, so naturally there was no way to add children and daughters. The

Empress sighed, “The day before yesterday I heard that General Teng was born early before he was forty years old, and I think he has missed his dead wife all these years.” The

crown prince helped his mother to sit down: “By the way, the son also saw a person in the JinxiangYuan today, this person’s name is Li Guangyuan, when the son went, this person was greeting General Teng, when he heard about the reopening of the Yunyin Academy, General Teng refused to accept it, Li Guangyuan was full of glory, saying that if his daughter could also have the honor to enter the academy to study, she would be able to be in the same window as General Teng’s daughter.” The son felt that this person was born, and only when he inquired did he know that it was the soldiers and horses of eastern Zhejiang. The emperor laughed and said, “It

is not surprising that you do not know this person, Li Guangyuan was originally a deputy general under Teng Shao, and five years ago he was still serving as Yingtian Zhidu and Marching Sima (Note 1) in the Zhen Navy. Li Guangyuan used his military bravery to quell the rebellion in eastern Zhejiang in January alone, and Teng Shao played his role and was appointed by GrandpaIt is the history of Suzhou Thorn. In the previous year’s floods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Guangyuan made another meritorious contribution, and the imperial court promoted him to be the envoy of the eastern Zhejiang capital Zhi soldiers and horses, and later made him concurrently serve as the assassin of Hangzhou. At that time, the world was in a bitter drought of locusts, and Jiangdong, who was alone and far away, was spared from the plague of locusts, was shrewd and strong, and did not ask for merit without authorization, and after several years in office, the eastern Zhejiang silk and docks were becoming more and more luxuriant, and this time he went to Beijing to report for duty, and the imperial court could not help but commend him. The

empress suddenly said, “I said why is this Li Guangyuan’s name so familiar, a few days ago I heard in a trance that this person has a daughter who can predict disasters, and Li Guangyuan has repeatedly made meritorious contributions to disasters, thanks to his daughter reminding Grandpa in advance to take precautions.” The

Emperor was stunned: “These people have actually come to you.” I have seen a lot of capable people in the world over the years, even if it is only to predict this year’s rain and widowhood, it still takes a lot of effort, Li Guangyuan’s daughter heard that she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can she predict the auspiciousness? Li Guang is far from being a meritorious disciple of Teng Shao, he was originally from a grassy background, and in recent years, because of his outstanding ability, he has risen faster than many people, which has aroused the envy of many people, who are afraid that he will stay in an important position in Chang’an and deliberately spread rumors in front of you. The queen stuffed a huge apricot breast into her husband’s

mouth, smiled and squinted, and said, “Last time I scolded them, and the next time I dare to make these ghost tricks in front of me, I will let them out of the palace.” The

emperor ate with a smile, and his soft gaze tangled with his wife.

Lin Chengyou was already uninterested when he heard Li Guangyuan, when he saw the empress dowager’s love situation through the Xuan window, he smiled and took two steps backwards, then turned his head and said to Ah Zhi and Chang Yi: “Take you to the lotus pond outside the Linde Hall to fish?” The fish there are a little more clever, and it’s much more interesting to catch than the dumb fish here.

“Brother, can you walk around, your injury just hurts so much?”

Lin Chengyou’s face did not change color: “Fang cai is Fang Cai, now is now, anyway, now Brother Ah is not in pain.” But the

emperor said in the water pavilion: “You have a wound on your arm, tonight you are honestly allowed to stay in front of your uncle and aunt and not go anywhere, and after the day when the emperor does his birthday, you help your aunt come up with some ideas.” ***

The

next morning, Teng Yuyi entrusted people to go to the Chengwang Mansion to deliver the post, and on the face of the name, he wanted to pay homage to the lord of Azhi County, but in fact he wanted to tell Lin Chengyou about Xuan Yin Ling, but unexpectedly, Lin Chengyou and the lord of Azhi County were not in the palace.

Then he went to Qingyun Guan to deliver a message, and the old monks and old Taoist monks in the temple also said that Shizi had not returned to Guan Li.

Teng Yuyi thought to herself, Lin Chengyou either went to dali temple or went to the palace, these two places she could not visit without authorization, had to temporarily rest to find Lin Chengyou’s plan.

Seeing that it was still early, Teng Yuyi changed her clothes and prepared to go to the West Market, but before she went out, Xiao Ya climbed out and told her that it was best not to go out in recent days, he was now low in spiritual power, in case she went out and encountered evil spirits, don’t expect him to protect her.

Teng Yuyi escaped a disaster, of course, did not dare to take risks at will, simply stayed in the palace to let Huo Qiu teach her to practice swordplay, and invited Cheng Bo to come in the evening, while wiping the sword, he said: “I thought that Duan Fu would have to raise for a while, even if I knew that his internal strength was different from ordinary people, I went to see him, his wounds were almost good, tomorrow let him go with me to the banquet.”

Cheng Bo was busy, and when the old man sent Duan Fu to the niangzi, not only because Duanfu was outstanding, but also because he was an eunuch, he could follow the niangzi in and out of the inner courtyard if necessary, without having to worry like an ordinary guard.

Teng Yuyi said, “By the way, can you inquire clearly, lu Zhaoan can be invited to the birthday banquet of the return to China?” “Invited

. Not only Lu Zhao’an, but also this year’s jinshi will go to the banquet.

Teng Yuyi was stunned: “Lu Zhao’an was disembarked by a corpse evil in the Chengwang Mansion last time, and he recovered so quickly?”

Cheng Bo: “Last time, King Shizi specially invited Yu Fengyu of the Shang Pharmacy bureau to give Lu Zhao’an a diagnosis, it is estimated that there is no major trouble, even if there are still some disadvantages in the body, the invitation of the abbot must go.”

Teng Yuyi sneered, “What a fake Qinggao great talent.” Although Sister Ah’s letter was retrieved, Lu Zhao’an’s mouth was still on him, this person’s heart was not right, if he was allowed to stay in Chang’an, sooner or later there would be trouble. Cheng Bo: “The

lady is thinking…”

Teng Yuyi thought about it and said, “A while ago, I didn’t have time to pay attention to Lu Zhao’an, Cheng Bo, you listed his whereabouts these days for me to see.” The

next day, before dawn, Cheng Bo sent someone to urge Teng Yuyi to get up, saying that the old man was already waiting in the middle hall, and that The Imperial Suchuan was in the outskirts of Chang’an, and the car would take at least two hours, not only to go to the birthday feast, but also to leave earlier.

Not long after, the Du family also came, teng Yuyi was sleepy-eyed, put on makeup, and came out to get on the calf car.

Du Yuzhi pulled Teng Shao to greet him, and Madame Du took Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to sit in the same car, and Duan Fu sat outside the curtain to help the coachman catch the car.

In the car, Du Tinglan helped Teng Yuyi straighten out the Biluo crown on the front head, and then looked down at the lotus seed white smoke cloud brocade skirt on her body: “I have seen other little ladies wear this color before, or Ayu is dressed well.”
Madame
Du gently pinched Teng Yuyi’s cheek: “The more noble the clothing, the more provocative, this child’s flesh skin is as transparent as water, and no matter how tricky the color is, he is not afraid.” Only then did your grandfather tell me that he had been busy with government affairs recently, and after celebrating his birthday today, he might have rushed back to Chang’an overnight, and said that it was rare for you to come out to play with us, and he wanted you to stay and have fun for a few days… Good boy, don’t yawn, if you are really sleepy, sleep on your aunt for a while.

Teng Yuyi rubbed his eyes and rested his head on Madame Du’s shoulder, knowing that with this movement, several things fell out of the sleeve pocket.

“What is this?” Du Tinglan picked up those few things, “Ayu, even if you hide the medicine jar on your body, why did you still hide a bald pen?” Teng Yuyi’s

eyes opened slightly, and he quickly closed his eyes again: “That medicine jar is the Medicine that Grandpa gave me, and it is said that it can stop bleeding and prevent poison.” The bald pen was given by the Dao Commander of the Eastern Ming Temple, don’t look at it, last time in the Cai Feng Lou I used it to block the bird demon. I was frightened by the corpse evil, and it was two nights to return to the Misugawa River, and I was not at ease with more self-defense.

Du Tinglan looked frozen, and hurriedly put things back into Teng Yuyi’s sleeve pocket: “Where are so many demons and evils, and there are so many people at this birthday banquet, even if there are really evil things, they don’t dare to come and offend.” The

car traveled for more than two hours, and it took noon to go to the Misu River, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has always been an excellent place to send happiness and elegance, in addition to the Royal Forest Garden, there are many other industries built by the Gongqing clan, open the window curtain to look out, you can see the Qinglan towering in the distance, and you can smell the springs and stones nearby.

Teng Yuyi was in his arms, and gradually he didn’t even doze off.

She heard that Liu Guozhang’s Ledao Mountain Villa was originally a permanent property left by the ancestors of the Liu family, although the mountain villa area is not small, but the furnishings are very shabby, a few years ago the saint sent the empress to this province, seeing that the inside and outside are too cold to talk, they ordered to be repaired, the craftsmen to please the saints and the empress, deliberately carved Zhuangzi, after more than a year of repairs, this place has become a leader in other industries in the area of the Imperial Su River.

Today, Ledao Villa is very lively, the incense car treasure colt is endless, and the calf car is close to the front, and it is not easy to find a place to stay.

Teng Shao and Du Yuzhi got off their horses in front of the door, and another servant led the female relatives of the Teng family into the side door.

All the way to the inside, only to see the winding swamp, the weather is ever-changing, in addition to the bamboo pavilion lotus pavilion, there are ten thousand flowers and trees, or with the mountain ups and downs, or with the water meandering, because the water color, endless changes.

Madame Du was gently shaking the fan while admiring the scenery through the window, and overheard the sound of words coming from not far away, and she was surprised: “This sound.”Familiar. Fixing

his gaze, as if he was a little surprised, he quickly turned back to look at Teng Yuyi doubtfully.

Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyiqi said, “What’s wrong?” The

two of them looked out with their heads together and froze at once. I saw a group of noble children laughing and passing by, Lin Chengyou and Chun’an Junwang walked side by side, and that beautiful voice was sent by Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou wore a green jade belt around his waist, wearing a pair of ruyi cloud patterned gold silk red long tassel boots, the color of the boots was bright red and dazzling, always worn by women, wearing on him did not damage the heroic posture at all, that tall and tall good figure, especially outstanding in the sun.

The key Lin Chengyou also wore a lotus white smoke cloud brocade round neck robe today, although the front chest was embroidered with a dark pattern of gold and silver of the dragon beads, but anyone could see that the color and fabric were exactly the same as Teng Yuyi’s skirt.

Madame Du and Du Tinglan were astonished: “This, this… But that’s a coincidence. Lin Chengyou’s

five senses were unusually sharp, and Yu Guang glanced at it, turning his head and looking at the Teng family’s calf car.

Teng Yuyi leaned back to avoid his sight, it was indeed too coincidental, as if he had made an appointment with Lin Chengyou, but it was a pity that the skirt he brought was on the back of the car, otherwise it would be better to change it immediately.

“There is no need to rush to change, male guests and female dependents are separated, and there are many people today, and no one will pay attention to these.” After getting out of the car, go back to the room to find an opportunity to change. Du Tinglan and Du Fu said.

“That’s right, too.” Teng Yuyi calmed down, suddenly felt that Xiaoya’s sword in his sleeve was hot, thinking that he heard that Lin Chengyou was nearby, Xiaoya was agitated in advance, she patted the handle of the sword, signaling Xiaoya not to be in a hurry.

Lady Du saw the figure of the Chun’an Junwang and said, “Last time, if it wasn’t for the help of the Chun’an Junwang, Lan’er couldn’t have entered the Ziyun Building so quickly to detoxify, a few days ago, the old man took Shao Tang to the door to thank him, and the junwang not only refused to accept gifts, but also set up wine to entertain the old man and Shao Tang.” After the old man said that when he returned, he was full of praise, saying that His Highness the King of the Counties was rich in lexicography, and his learning was no worse than that of the Hongru of the Guozijian.

Teng Yuyi knew the name of His Highness the King of the County in his previous life, and heard that he did not smile, but his good character, even his father praised him for his light wealth and charity, but until her death, she had not heard that the king of the county was related to the wife of any family.

She wondered, “Has the King of Chun’an Ever been married?”
Lady
Du said vaguely: “Although King Chun’an and King Cheng are brothers, they are born to the stepmother, and the stepmother died two years ago, and His Highness the King of the County did not intend to kiss in order to keep filial piety.”

Teng Yuyi suddenly remembered that in a previous life, he had heard people talk behind his back, the birth mother of the King of Chun’an County, Cui Shi, was more than ten years younger than the Lan King, although she married the Lan King, the mother’s family had another lover, and once the Cui clan sympathized with Lang to frame the lan king shizi Lin Xiao at that time, and was caught by the lan king.

King Lan hated both Cui’s unchaste and her framing of her eldest son, and in a fit of rage, expelled Cui from the Lan Dynasty, but in order to take care of the face of the royal family, he only said that Cui was seriously ill.

For the following years, Cui Shi was placed under house arrest in the other courtyard, not to mention raising his son personally, and he could not even see his son’s face, and in the first few years, King Lan died of illness, and Cui Shi also died depressed.

With such a birth mother, the marriage of the King of Chun’an County will inevitably be more difficult.

Lady Du added: “His Highness the King of the County is not too young, recently many courtiers in Chang’an have entrusted their relations to the palace, intending to marry their daughters to His Highness the King of the County, but the saints and empresses said that the affairs all depend on the meaning of the King of the County, His Highness the King of the County, who loves himself and loves himself, and his character is also precious, and I don’t know whose daughter has such a good blessing in the end.”

Over there Lin Chengyou looked at the Teng family’s calf car from a distance, yesterday he temporarily did not care about finding Teng Yuyi to ask for Xuan Yin Bell, today she has come, it should not be dragged back, for this matter he has been curious for two days, he had to ask her in person.

King Chun’an looked down and said, “Ah Da, what are you looking at?”

Lin Chengyou: “Looking for Gu Xian of the Nanzhao Kingdom, this boy said he was going to come to me, and he has not seen anyone yet.”

Suddenly, he felt several glances fall on his face, and when he looked up, he saw that there were several other calves in front of the Teng family’s calf car, and the window curtain of the calf car was still swinging slightly, obviously it had just been put down.

Lin Chengyou has been secretly looked at by the little lady through the window since she was a child, and she saw that it was a car of several female relatives, and she didn’t bother to pay attention to it, and stepped into the weeping flower door.

***

Teng Yuyi did not have time to change clothes, so he got out of the car with his aunt and cousin, and someone led them to meet the female relatives.

The emperor will only celebrate his birthday tomorrow, today is not a banquet, lunch is more casual, it is located in the Autumn Forest Garden.

The seats for female dependents are divided into two groups, one is the wives and old ladies of each province, and the food cases are located in the wide forest. The other group is the young ladies of the provinces, and the food cases are placed under the flowers and trees outside.

The ladies sat in the middle of the banquet, and occasionally some petals fell from the trees, either on the dim sum or on the buns of the girls, and from a distance there was a rain of pink flowers, adding a wild taste to the feast.

Lady Du took two juniors to give gifts and was soon invited to the ladies’ table, while Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan entered the forest with them under the guidance of the servants.

The noble ladies were whispering, suddenly quiet, listening to the next person’s advice to know that the gentle beauty with a temperament like Lan on the left was the qianjin of Dr. Guozi Jian Du, and on the right was the daughter of Teng Shao, both sisters were born strangely beautiful, and they suppressed the spring color of the forest as soon as they came.

The girls were curious to look at Teng Yuyi, seeing her ice muscle jade bone, brilliant and moving, her eyes could not be moved, and when Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan arrived near, the girls owed a salute on the table.

Among these girls, Teng Yuyi knew at most half of them, such as Deng Qingluan, the granddaughter of Deng Zhiyao, a Zhongshu She, whom he had seen in his previous life, and Wu Qi, the second daughter of Yushi Wurujun.

However, for the sake of this feast, she let Cheng Bo get a list of female dependents in advance, and immediately took the opportunity to return the gift, secretly matching the names and appearances of these people, and overheard someone laughing: “Lady Teng, Lady Du, come and sit down.” Looking

up, it was Zheng Shuangyin, who was a thousand gold of the Zheng servant’s house, and the last time she and Teng Du had met at the poetry meeting of the Chengwang Mansion, they were also familiar with each other.

Du Tinglan hesitated, but Teng Yuyi gladly pulled his cousin to the table.

After the meal, the stewards came to arrange for the sleeping places of the female relatives, some of which were placed in Bai Luxuan and some of which were placed in the Yueming Building.

Madame Du took Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to live in a box room in the Yueming Building, and the neighboring rooms were all the female dependents of various officials.

Teng Yuyi on the porch with a distant view, the distant landscape and water, the nearby flowers and trees like fire clouds reflecting the clear sky, in the face of such a beautiful scenery, no matter how heavy the heart is temporarily left behind, if not she still has to make soup for Xiao Ya, I really want to put down all my worries and have fun for a few days.

Bi Luo found a strip of smoke and purple skirts, and asked Teng Yuyi with regret on her face: “Mother, this new dress of lotus white has only been worn for half a day, do you really want to change your clothes?” ”

Change.” Teng Yuyi returned to the room, “Hey, what about my Muppets?”

Bi Luo nuzzled in: “Chun Velvet has been stuffed under the pillow for the lady.” “I’ll

go and see.”

Mrs. Du smiled and shook her head, after all, she was old, and after sitting on the car for a day, she only felt sore, and when people were settled, they had to go to bed for lunch.

I overheard someone knocking on the door of the room, but it was Lady Du’s housekeeper Gui Mi who returned.

Madame Du asked in a warm voice, “Didn’t the old man and the grand duke drink much?”

Gui Mi whispered something to Madame Du, and Madame Du’s expression changed: “This child!

“Auntie, what happened?”

Madame Du waved out the next person in the room, and said angrily: “The old man took Shao Tang to settle in the compartment, only to find that Shao Tang secretly hid a cloth bag in his bag, and only after asking did he know that Shao Tang heard that Lu Zhaoan had also come, and he wanted to find an opportunity to cover Lu Zhaoan’s head and beat him up.” Fortunately, the old man found out in time, and today people from all provinces have come, how good it is if there is a disturbance.

Du Tinglan bit his lip: “This matter is all because of me, I will go and talk about Adi.”

Teng Yuyi pulled Du Tinglan aside: “Sister, Shao Tang always has some children’s hearts in front of you and your aunt, and there are some words that you may not be able to listen to, or let me say it.” ***

Du

Shaotang’s father and son’s box was placed in Yequan Xuan, only one garden away from yueming building. Teng Yuyi waited for a while at the chamomile pavilion in the garden with BiLuo and Chun Velvet, and saw a thin young man in Chinese clothes hurrying to come in the distance.

“Cousin.”

Teng Yuyi motioned for ChunRong and Bi Luo to retreat to the side, and then asked, “What about the cloth bag, take it out and show it to me.”

Du Shaotang still had tear marks in the corners of his eyes, and sat down sullenly at the opposite table: “Confiscated by Grandpa.”

Teng Yuyi sighed darkly, still like in the previous life, she would only cry when things happened, she asked him: “Why don’t you hide well?” This is good, and it was confiscated before it was done.

Du Shaotang looked up in surprise
