Chapter 19 Arrival
Chapter 19 Arrival
After Feng Yu and Shu Ning returned to the Qing Ya Yuan, Feng Yu went back to his room and changed into clean clothes. He was about to explain clearly to Xuan Yunqi when he heard Feng Xun knocking on the door outside the house and shouting in a hurry: " Fengyu"
Feng Yu opened the door and came out, asking: "What's wrong?"
Feng Xun said: "I have something to do today and I can't leave, you go to Zuo Xiang's mansion to rescue the boss."
"What are you talking about, you haven't gone to Zuo Xiangfu yet?" Feng Yu looked at Feng Xun in disbelief.
Yesterday Yun Xun urged him ten thousand times that when he went to Zuo Xiang's mansion, no matter what method they thought of, they must rescue him from Zuo Xiang's clutches.In the end, they were still worried, so they asked them to take turns to make up something every day, and they must go to the Zuo Xiangfu to rescue him before Chen Shi every day.
Originally, the first day was scheduled for Fengxun.Feng Xun said with a bitter face: "My lord has temporarily assigned a task, so go quickly."
Feng Yu hesitated: "I still have something to do..."
Feng Xun shook his head again and again, pushing Feng Yu, "No, the boss asked us to go early in the morning, it's almost noon now, if you don't go, we will be finished when the boss comes back. If there is anything else, you can go back and do it."
Feng Yu looked at the sky, it was indeed almost noon now, remembering that Yun Xun patted each of them on the shoulder last night, telling them with a long way to go, they must remember.After weighing the balance, he immediately rushed to the Zuo Xiang's mansion in the heavy rain. If he didn't go, when Yun Xun came back, they would be peeled off even if they didn't die.
It usually takes a quarter of an hour to get to Zuo Xiangfu, but Feng Yu only took half an hour to arrive today.Feng Yu stood in front of Zuo Xiang's mansion, and said to the guard at the door: "I am the guard of the Prince Regent's mansion, I have something urgent to see Zuo Xiang."
Jiang Hengyu has frequent contacts with Long Si, and the people in Zuo Xiangfu also know Feng Yu.There was no need to report, so he stepped out of the way, "My Xiangye is in the mansion, please come in quickly."
Feng Yu nodded and hurried in.I waited in the front hall for a while, but Jiang Hengyu didn't arrive. The young man who went to inform came back and said, "My lord, Mr. Xiang said that Mr. Yun Xun is in the west courtyard, let me take you there."
Feng Yu was even more worried when he heard the words, it seems that Jiang Hengyu already knew they would come, I am afraid it will not be so easy for him to take Yun Xun away.After walking for a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the West Courtyard. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yun Xun, whom he had been worried about all along. Instead of practicing calligraphy under the pressure of Jiang Hengyu, he was drinking tea and enjoying the rain leisurely in the small pavilion in the courtyard.
Feng Yu was puzzled, approached and asked, "Boss, who is this?"
Yun Xun put down the teacup, and swiped at Feng Yu with a palm, Feng Yu was forced to retreat again and again, cornered to the corner, Feng Yu had no way to retreat.Feng Yu bit the bullet and went through two moves with Yun Xun, his shoulders sank, and he was about to kneel down.Yun Xun suddenly withdrew his strength, "If I waited for you to save me, I would have already been reincarnated."
Feng Yu said: "This subordinate knows his mistake"
Yun Xun returned to the stool and sat down, "For the sake of nothing serious this time, forget it."
Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in front of Yun Xun, "Does this subordinate still need to see the prime minister?"
Yun Xun picked up the teacup and took a sip, "What do you think?"
He came here because Yun Xun didn't want to practice calligraphy, and he wanted to see Zuo Xiang just trying to take Yun Xun away.But now it seems that Yun Xun seems to be doing well in Zuo Xiangfu, so naturally there is no need for it.After Feng Yu thought it over, he said, "Then this subordinate will go back first."
Yun Xun nodded, "En. Tell them not to come again."
"Yes" Feng Yu replied, and before leaving, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "Boss, hasn't Prime Minister Zuo asked you to practice calligraphy?"
Yun Xun glanced at Feng Yu and asked, "Why, do you find it strange?"
"No, this subordinate is resigning first." Seeing Yun Xun's expression seemed unkind, Feng Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and left the west courtyard.
Yun Xun looked at Feng Yu's hurried back, and wanted to call him back, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't even see the figure.What are you doing so fast?In fact, he also felt strange, why Jiang Hengyu was not interested in practicing calligraphy all of a sudden?
Early this morning, he brought a jug of wine given to him by Long Si to Zuo Xiangfu.Unexpectedly, Jiang Hengyu just drank the wine and let him take it easy, without the arrogance he had when he was forced to practice calligraphy.Although Yun Xun was glad in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong.Jiang Hengyu doesn't seem like a person who is decadent just for half a year of reflection.Forget it, Yun Xun was quite leisurely leaning on the chair to enjoy the heavy rain, as long as he was not allowed to practice calligraphy, it would be fine.
"Master Xiang, Shangshu Yuwen is here"
Jiang Hengyu looked at the wine jar on the table and sighed, "Please come over here"
"Xiangye is so elegant." After a while, Yuwen Shangyan walked into the Huxin Pavilion with a smile on his face, with a bit of coolness from the rain all over his body.
After seeing the sadness on Jiang Hengyu's face that he didn't have time to hide, he quickly suppressed his smile, took a few strides closer and asked, "Master Zuo, what happened?"
Jiang Hengyu shook his head, pulled himself together and smiled, looking at the water stains on Yuwenshang's clothes, "It's okay. By the way, why are you here?"
When this matter was brought up, Yu Wenshang's face became sad, "Ji Yuling was killed on the border between Liang and Lu, the Holy Majesty ordered me to investigate, and I came to say goodbye."
Jiang Hengyu was a little surprised when he heard the words, he and Yuwen Shang had only a casual acquaintance, so he came here to bid farewell.However, Yuwen Shang had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so it was reasonable to want to have a good relationship with everyone.He didn't care, and asked, "Does the Jizhou Criminal Division have any clues?"
Yu Wenshang shook his head, "I got nothing, I only know that the murderer was ruthless, everyone was killed with a knife, and the wedding team died before they even had time to resist."
Jiang Hengyu frowned upon hearing this.Ji Yuling is the princess of the Lu State, but she was killed on the way to get married. This incident not only despises the Lu State, but also provokes the Liang State.If Yu Wenshang can't find out why he went here, he will definitely not be able to make a deal.But according to Yu Wenshang, the bandits must have come prepared this time, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find out.
Seeing Jiang Hengyu frowning, Yu Wenshang didn't want to add trouble to talking about it, so he smiled: "I'm here to say goodbye today, so I won't talk about these troubles." He noticed the wine jar on the table and asked Said: "The left minister is also a wine lover?"
At this time, the servant came in and asked respectfully, "Master Xiang, do you have lunch?"
Jiang Hengyu glanced at the sky, it was almost noon, it was time for lunch.Then he nodded, and asked again: "Master Yuwen, have you ever had lunch?"
"Maybe I'm going to bother the Left Prime Minister"
Jiang Hengyu said: "Your Majesty Yuwen is too polite."
Yu Wenshang waved his hand: "Why dare to be the Prime Minister, my lord, if the Prime Minister doesn't dislike it, just call me A-Shang."
Jiang Hengyu smiled aloofly, but nodded obediently.
At this time, the servant will have arranged the food, and the aroma is so strong that it makes the gluttons in his belly swell.Yu Wenshang sincerely praised: "I have heard for a long time that Zuo Xiang's mansion is three masterpieces, and it really lives up to its reputation."
Zuo Xiang's appearance, Zuo Xiang's talent, and the cuisine of Zuo Xiang's mansion are collectively called the three musts of Zuo Xiang's mansion.
Jiang Hengyu waved his hand modestly: "It's absurd." Then he asked the boy to open the wine seal on the table, and suddenly a strong aroma of wine wafted into his nostrils, overwhelming the aroma of vegetables on the table.
Jiang Hengyu picked up the wine glass and said politely to Yuwen merchant, "everything goes well now"
Yuwen Shang said with a smile: "I borrowed a good word from Mr. Xiang." Then he drank it down.
It is mellow and elegant, with a long aftertaste. Yuwen Shang, who is used to fine wine, couldn't help but praise, "Good wine", and then asked: "Mr. Zuo, what kind of wine is this?"
Jiang Hengyu poured another glass, "This wine is called Denglin"
"Come on?" Yu Wenshang looked at the wine in the glass, it was clear and transparent, slightly orange.But he had never heard of this wine.
Jiang Hengyu drank another cup, "Well, it's called Denglin"
"Climbing the mountain and facing the water is really suitable for seeing off." Yu Wenshang said very politely, looking at Jiang Hengyu who was drinking glass after glass, as if he was using wine to drown his sorrows, wondering in his heart, "Does Xiangye have something on his mind?"
Denglin is extremely strong wine, Jiang Hengyu drank three cups in a row.Already a little drunk, his face was slightly red, and he looked at Yu Wenshang with drunken eyes, "It's okay", but the expression on his face looked a little sad.
Seeing Jiang Hengyu's reluctance to speak, Yu Wenshang presumed there was something sad that he couldn't disclose.He didn't ask any more questions, poured a glass, and said to Jiang Hengyu: "It's no fun to drink too much good wine alone, today I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman."
After Yu Wenshang drank two glasses symbolically, he pinched the empty wine glass and watched Jiang Hengyu drink one after another.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the jar of wine ran out. Jiang Hengyu hugged the jar and shook it vigorously. It was empty, and she couldn't help feeling lost in her heart. She sighed, "Why is it gone?" and felt dizzy again. I couldn't hold it anymore, so I put down the jar, and stared at Yuwen Shang in a daze with my head on my hands.
Yu Wenshang looked at the drunk Jiang Hengyu and asked the boy to cook a bowl of hangover soup.After thinking for a while, he got up and followed the servant for a few steps, then asked, "What happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion recently?"
The boy thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said: "Everything in the mansion remains the same, nothing happened, it's just that Mr. Yun Xun from the palace is here today."
"What is he doing?"
The boy shook his head again, "I don't know, it's just that Mr. Yun Xun brought a jar of wine, and Xiangye seems to be interested too, staring at the jar all morning."
Is that wine sent by Long Si?Yu Wenshang walked back to the pavilion, picked up the wine jar and looked at it carefully.It's nothing special, it's just a very common wine jar, but it's a bit old, and it looks like it's been a long time.
At this time, Jiang Hengyu looked up at Yuwen Shang, and said to himself with a very drunkenness: "I didn't win the bet again, why did you give it to me?"
Hearing this, Yu Wenshang was confused and asked, "What bet?"
Jiang Hengyu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "So you forgot."
Yu Wenshang looked at the drunk Jiang Hengyu, did he recognize him as Long Si?I was a little curious again, so I answered, "I haven't forgotten"
Jiang Hengyu raised his head when he heard the words, and grabbed Yu Wenshang's sleeve: "Then why did you send Denglin to me?"
Yu Wenshang looked at Jiang Hengyu who was blushing, and then at the wine jar on the table.It's just a jar of wine, so why care so much?
Just when Yuwen Shang was puzzled, Jiang Hengyu let go of his sleeves and said in a low voice, "I want to forget too"
What did you forget?Yu Wenshang looked at the lonely Jiang Hengyu, and became even more puzzled. Could there be some story behind this wine?
At this time, the servant brought over the hangover soup, "Master Yuwen, the hangover soup is ready."
Yu Wenshang brought in the hangover soup and handed it to Jiang Hengyu: "Left Prime Minister"
Jiang Hengyu tilted his head and looked at Yu Wenshang, neither speaking nor taking soup, his eyes were foggy and he didn't know what he was thinking.
It was rare for Yu Wenshang to see Jiang Hengyu's confused look, and he thought it was a little cute, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
The double pupil cuts water, the face is like a crown jade, the warmth is like a jade pendant, like a fairy feather.Truly a unique handsome man.
Yuwen Shang was stunned for a moment, until Jiang Hengyu asked in a strong nasal voice: "What's the matter?" Then he reacted and handed the hangover soup in his hand to Jiang Hengyu, "Drink the hangover soup, drink it , otherwise tomorrow will be uncomfortable."
Jiang Hengyu stretched out his hand to catch it in a daze, before his hand touched the bowl, his head sank and he fell limply to the ground.
Seeing Yuwen Shang was startled, he quickly pulled Jiang Hengyu back. "Hey, Prime Minister Zuo" Yu Wenshang shook Jiang Hengyu, but saw that he was breathing steadily and long, and actually fell asleep.
Yuwen Shang glanced at the young servant, and the young servant rushed over to help Jiang Hengyu, but Jiang Hengyu held onto Yuwen Shang's sleeve tightly, and refused to let go, the young servant was afraid of hurting Jiang Hengyu, so he didn't dare to pull it hard. , and froze there.
Yuwen Shang really had no choice, so he hugged Jiang Hengyu horizontally, and said to the boy: "Lead the way"
The servant hurriedly got up, "Master Yuwen, go this way"
Yu Wenshang put Jiang Hengyu on the bed in the bedroom, pulled the quilt to cover Jiang Hengyu, and ordered: "Let the sober soup be drunk later."
"Yes"
Yu Wenshang was about to leave when he accidentally saw a picture of hundreds of flowers hanging on the wall.The one with the most ink in the painting is a red azalea, which is more luxurious than a narcissus and more elegant than a peony.The graceful and beautiful posture is gorgeous and overwhelming.
Seeing Yuwen Shang staring at the screen, the boy was a little proud: "This is drawn by Xiangye himself."
Yuwen Shang said with a smile: "The talent of the Prime Minister is really well-known," and then he walked out of Zuo Xiang's mansion quickly.The imperial decree ordered him to leave Beijing as soon as possible, and he could not delay any longer.
After the first break of the shower, Xuan Yunqi stood in the yard, looking at the rainbow in the sky, and felt better.Called, "Feng Yu"
After waiting for a long while, Feng Yu didn't answer. Seeing Shu Ning passing by, he asked, "Shu Ning, where did Feng Yu go?"
Shu Ning said: "Go back to the princess, Feng Yu has gone to the Danqing Court"
"What did he go to Danqing Academy for?" Xuan Yunqi asked.Could it be that Ryuji is back?
Shu Ning said: "Say it's to plead guilty to the prince"
Xuan Yunqi was overjoyed, "You mean the prince is back?"
Shu Ning nodded, "It's been half an hour since I've been back."
Xuan Yunqi walked out quickly with the hem of his skirt in his hand, and at the same time ordered, "Shu Ning, hurry up and bring the food box, let's go to the Danqing Court too." It's just noon at this time, maybe we can catch up to have lunch with Long Si .
"Yes" Shu Ning went back to the house, took the food box and hurriedly chased after Xuan Yunqi.
Xuan Yunqi was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with Long Si for lunch, so the wind was blowing under his feet, and he arrived at the Danqing courtyard in no time.
Xuan Yunqi ran into the inner courtyard of Danqing Court, but saw that the door of Longsi's room was closed, Xuan Yunqi gasped slightly and asked, "Where is the prince?"
Lu Ming said: "Go back to the princess, the prince is still changing clothes in the house."
"Oh" it's raining so hard today, it's really easy to catch cold.catch a cold?Xuan Yunqi turned his head and waved to Shu Ning who was a hundred meters away behind him, signaling her to go faster.
Shu Ning didn't expect Xuan Yunqi to walk so fast, and trotted all the way without catching up. Seeing Xuan Yunqi waving, he hurriedly approached, panting and asked: "Princess, what...what's wrong?"
Xuan Yunqi said: "Go and make some ginger soup."
"Yes" Shu Ning replied, and went to the kitchen.
Xuan Yunqi thought for a while and then stopped Shu Ning, "Wait"
Shu Ning turned back, "What else is there for the princess?"
"Is it difficult to make ginger soup?"
Shu Ning shook his head, "It's not difficult, it's very simple."
