Royal Road - Chapter 87

[Chapter 87]

A gust of breeze blew, the fragrance overflowed the room, and there were falling birds. Wang Wen reclined on the table and looked out the window at the beautiful scenery.

This is his favorite Meishan Courtyard, with plum trees all over the valleys.

When winter comes and spring comes, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, red like fire, pink like xia, and white plums that are pure and pure.

He also played with a white plum in his hand.

As bright as a mirror and as cold as jade, it is an exquisite porcelain flower.

The rare color is white and clear, like fresh snow, which makes people addicted to it.

Complementing this white plum, there is also a green bamboo, a pink lotus, and a secluded orchid.

The plum is the paperweight, the bamboo is the pen holder, the lotus is the ink wash, and the orchid is the inkstone drop.

All of them are new porcelain produced by Liangfu, the quality is probably not as good as that of the Yue kiln, and the shape of the ware is even more exquisite.

The four things of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, together with these four documents, are simply pleasing to the eye.

This was a gift from the Liang family during Zhengdan.

And a peach blossom note and a New Year’s greeting, elegant and euphemistic, but also ingenious, you can see the full intention of the gift giver.

The Wang family is a big family, and a Zhengdan person does not know how many relatives and friends he has to meet. He is bothered by trivial matters for a few days. How can Wang Wen not feel grateful when he sees such a gift.

“Lang lord, the general’s mansion sent an envoy to deliver the letter, which is a personal letter from the master’s bookkeeper.” Someone outside the door suddenly informed him.

Wang Wen frowned indiscernibly: “Let him come in.”

Sima Teng’s chief clerk was another branch of the Chen Liugao clan.

But his people are good at flattering, he is a vulgar.

Wang Wen has always disliked this master bookkeeper, and now he will deliver letters to his door, which is probably a worry.

But after all, it was Sima Teng’s close confidant. If there was no urgent matter, he probably wouldn’t have sent the letter to the other courtyard.

So Wang Wen had to put down the plum blossom paperweight and took the letter from the messenger.

However, just after a glance, Wang Wen’s expression turned cold, and he raised his head and asked, “How many days ago did the general’s residence dispatch the imperial physician?”

“Three days ago,” the messenger replied quickly.

“Which idiot gave Duke Dongying the idea?” No matter how good-tempered he was, Wang Wen couldn’t help sneering coldly.

What was said in the letter made Wang Wen angry.

Half a month ago, Sima Teng wanted to recruit Liang Feng as a vassal of the general’s residence, so he sent Lu Shi, but was declined.

It was an extremely trivial matter that the levy could not be fulfilled. Who would have expected him to send an imperial physician to consult Liang Zixi.

What kind of system is this?

!

No one knows Liang Zixi’s illness better than Wang Wen.

That was framed by someone and took the poisoning disease!

Such a serious illness, just coming to Jinyang, it will hurt him greatly, and he can’t be fake at all.

Sima Teng actually sent an imperial physician, isn’t he suspicious that Zixi is feigning illness?

Such an elegant and gentle character, how could he be so insulted!

Sima Teng’s move is really wrong!

However, the anger was only a moment, and Wang Wen understood the deeper reason.

This may also be the hidden danger buried by the trip to Luoyang.

Sima Teng was trapped in Luoyang by accident, but he was in a dangerous situation for several months, and everyone would feel resentment, and Liang Zixi was the first person who advocated epidemic prevention in Jinyang, so the anger fell on him. body.

Sima Teng was originally a stubborn person, so changing his censure to Zheng Pi might be the result of his hard work and patience.

Alas, it is always inappropriate to make it look like this now.

After all, Sima Teng is also the master of Bingzhou, and Zixi is white, so why bother with him?

It is better to mediate from it and turn the war into jade and silk.

After thinking about it for a moment, Wang Wen said, “Go back to Master Gao, and I will go to the General’s Mansion tomorrow.”

Unexpectedly, Wang Wen’s answer was so straightforward, and the messenger hurriedly kowtowed and withdrew.

The next day.

“Maoshen, why did you go back to Jinyang at this time? I remember that you were staying in the Meishan Courtyard in early spring. Please sit down and have a drink with me.” Sima Teng was watching the singing and dancing when he saw Wang Wen coming , also not seen outside, invited him to the same reward.

Looking at the bewitching dancers, Wang Wen smiled lightly and took a seat at the guest seat: “I just came back from Meishan, and I heard about

this , and I have some worries. I came here to visit Duke Dongying.”

Sima Teng couldn’t help sitting up straight: “What makes Maoshen sad?”

Wang Wen sighed softly, “It’s a matter of the general’s mansion, of course. It’s really inappropriate to ask the imperial physician to diagnose the disease.”

Hearing the word imperial physician, the smile on Sima Teng’s face immediately froze, and he waved his hand to let the group of dancers retreat. .

Cai said: “Just a white body Tinghou, He

Laomao is deeply troubled?” “Liang Zixi is my best friend, and because I know him so well, some things have to be mentioned.” His person is like a lone pine and strong bamboo. Although he is severely ill, he has no sense of depression, but he is sassy and does not fall into the ordinary. When he interacts with him, he is like holding the bright moon in his arms

. Wen praised Liang Feng as soon as he came up, and Sima Teng’s face became even gloomier: “Why, do you think you don’t know Yingcai?”

“If Duke Dongying didn’t know Yingcai, how could he be recruited as a dependent?” Wang Wen He shook his head gently, “It’s just a good story, but it changed its taste because of the extension of the doctor. Just imagine if it was rumored that Dongying was too narrow to accommodate people, and forced famous people to submit, wouldn’t it damage the reputation of the General’s Mansion?”

Unexpectedly, Wang Wen It’s not Liang Zixi who cares about his reputation, but his own reputation. The anger on Sima Teng’s face decreased slightly: “There is no need to worry about this matter. If Liang Zixi is really sick, I will take it back.”

“He is really seriously ill .

In my body, I still take the poisoning symptoms.” Wang Wen said simply.

Sima Teng was stunned: “How is this possible? Didn’t he come to Jinyang to participate in the dharma meeting?”

“I first saw Zixi on the Yaji that day, and he was dying of illness, but he still disappeared. It’s been a few months after the rehabilitation. No one knows about this, but because he has an extraordinary bearing, he doesn’t seem to be sick.” Wang Wen sighed softly, “As for Zhengpi, I also wanted to promote him to the top grade, but Zixi simply I have no intention of becoming an official. Not only for Duke Dongying, but also for me.”

This was beyond Sima Teng’s expectations.

I didn’t expect that there are such people in this world who don’t like power and look like green lotus.

Wasn’t this a joke?

Seeing the hesitation on Sima Teng’s face, Wang Wen said again: “This is the end of the matter. Only by turning the consultation into a reward and making Zixi’s infirmity widely known can we counteract the speculation of others.”

Tossing Liang Feng was really annoyed for a while. I didn’t expect Wang Wen to come to the door in person. Even if he didn’t like that sick child, Jinyang Wang was not willing to offend him.

Sima Teng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: “Since Maoshen said so, let’s forget about the imperial physician.”

Wang Wen breathed a sigh of relief: “Just like this, I’m afraid there will still be hidden dangers. It’s better to take advantage of the time. Invite Zixi to Jinyang for spring. In this way, all speculations will be self-defeating.”

Sima Teng frowned, it wasn’t enough to let that person go, but also invite him to Jinyang?

Wang Wen seemed to see the other party’s thoughts and smiled: “Zixi will be able to make a splash when he comes to Jinyang. In this way, the matter of collecting and rewarding gifts can become a good story. The magnanimity is very high, and it should be spread all over the world. Wouldn’t this be a great joy?”

Liang Feng was ill and was unable to serve in a short period of time.

If you help him make a name for himself, no one else can ask for it.

When his condition improves, and with the grace of knowing and encountering, he will be able to go on expedition again.

And this mountain and flowing water can also help him increase his reputation.

Sima Teng finally understood the meaning of Wang Wen’s words, and nodded slightly: “It’s still what Mao Shen thought about it.”

Seeing the gradually clear expression on Sima Teng’s face, Wang Wen also secretly relieved.

As long as Zixi came to Jinyang, why would Sima Teng not fall for him.

With this intersection, the poisonous thorn hidden between the two can be pulled out, and Zixi’s future official career will naturally be smooth sailing.

This is true happiness.

※

Fast horses galloping, arrows whizzing.

One horse after another galloped around the field, and the knight on the horse drew his bow and shot at a row of grass targets on the side of the field.

This is the Liangfu cavalry practicing riding and shooting.

Riding and archery was originally a stunt of the Huns, but when a horse is equipped with a saddle and bridle, as long as he can control the horse proficiently and stabilize his body, he can accurately shoot the arrow in his hand.

Because there was a lot of pasture in exchange, the cavalry team did not stop training in winter.

Another round of rapid shooting, Yi Yan frowned, and shouted in the team: “Long Long! Didn’t you eat in the morning?!”

Laolong is the team mate of the cavalry team, and he is also the old man who has been following Yiyan all the time.

Hearing this, he scratched his hair embarrassedly: “Yingzheng, I have eaten, but I just took a vacation yesterday and was squeezed clean by the mother-in-law at home…”

Hearing these dirty words, everyone burst into laughter.

Yi Yan’s eyebrows almost reached the corner of his forehead: “One hundred push-ups! Count the number yourself!”

Hearing this, Lulong grinned, and obediently got off his horse and started doing push-ups.

This thing is still popular in Yi Yan, although the posture is wretched, but it really exercises arm strength.

Both the cavalry and the archers had to practice diligently, which became a means of small punishment.

After 100 hits, my whole body is really sore and unspeakably uncomfortable.

Yi Yan ignored him and continued to order everyone to train.

Now that the vernal equinox has not yet arrived, the winter is still long, and there is not enough time to ride horses during the day.

An hour passed quickly.

The knights dismounted one after another and began to take care of their beloved horses.

Take off the saddle and bridle, brush the ears, and secretly feed the horse.

Yi Yan also neatly untied the saddle, ready to take care of the horse and lead it back to the stable.

He has to go back to the mansion later. If it is before dark, he can still play a game with the lord.

He was brushing the horse quickly, when Lulong sneaked up to him: “That, Yingzheng. I have… no, my mother-in-law wants to ask you something…”

“What’s the matter?” Yi Yan didn’t even look at him, Continue to work.

“Cough, I don’t know if Yingzheng plans to marry a wife…” Loulong coughed dryly and asked cheekily.

Yi Yan turned his head sharply and glared at the man.

Being stung by this knife-like gaze, Laolong quickly explained: “It’s not a messy woman, it’s a distant girl from my mother-in-law’s family. This year’s fifteenth is the time when flowers and bones are like flowers.”

“No plan!” Yiyan threw it down hard sentence.

“Don’t!” Unexpectedly, the rejection was so straightforward, Laolong couldn’t help but said, “Yingzheng, you are not too young. Now that you have fields and the owner’s appreciation, why not become a family and find a woman to take care of it. What about myself?”

“I can take care of myself.”

Laolong was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing: “I’m talking about the kind of ‘care’… Er, Yingzheng, have you never thought about your soft chest and thin waist?”

Yi Yan The next thing to do, in his mind, a thin chest, not soft enough, but absolutely fair, the waist is too thin to be grasped, it seems to be broken when it is broken… When

the brush deviates, the horse’s mane is pulled, and the white horse immediately With a long hiss, he turned his head and hit the master.

He woke up after being hit, Yi Yan’s face suddenly turned red, and regardless of the saddle that was removed, he turned on his horse and said, “Just take care of yourself!”

Throwing these words down, he galloped towards the village.

Being swept up in the dust, Lulong blinked his eyes.

Wait, he seems to have discovered something extraordinary. Is it possible that Yingzheng is still a young child?

With a puff of laughter, he rubbed his aching shoulders.

Whoops, I really earned it this time.
