Chapter 81: Thirty-six Hours in Chang'an (End)
"Huaiyi, where are you going to go again?"
The gentle man's words came from the front. Zhang Huaiyi, who was walking quickly through the Feng Shui wall, met the couple walking down the eaves of the mansion's doorman. Her husband's white-patterned round-collar robe was covered with a blue shirt, and a belt surrounded by clouds and embroidered embroidered belt, and a flower, bird, jade pendant drooped down.
Before the person came, he saw the young man who was quickly coming out of the Feng Shui wall. He chuckled twice and pulled the other person to speak.
"Your father must have told you last night that Your Highness and I are coming over. When you run away, would you not want to see me and my wife?"
"Ah... it's the prince consort..."
Zhang Huaiyi was hanging out outside, looking fierce, but in front of his father and brother, the son-in-law Yu Cong, who was also the prince-in-law in front of him, was much more obedient.
Not only was his son-in-law outstanding, but his ancestors were from Yu clan in Henan, and his ancestors were Yu Jin, the Grand Tutor of Northern Zhou, and he also passed the imperial examination and became the Minister of War.
Later, during the reign of Emperor Yizong, he was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of the Central Secretariat and was transferred to the Shangshu Youpushe and the Tong Pingzhangshi. At that time, he was only in his early thirties and could be regarded as a real talent.
Unfortunately, he was demoted twice to become the governor of Shaozhou because of offending a villain. His Majesty was called back and served as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe.
In the officialdom for nearly thirty years, even if you speak gently, you will have your own majesty.
"Mr. Concubine, please say less, let me scare Huaiyi." The wife, who was standing beside her, was dignified and elegant, with a tail pattern at the corners of her eyes. The charm of her husband was revealed as she joked and had a unique charm of a woman of this age.
Zhang Huaiyi came to his senses and bowed respectfully.
"Huaiyi pays homage to Your Highness and meets the Prince-Consort."
After that, he stood up and said that he had something to go out to do. He was anxious to go out. Princess Guangde didn't believe it, but she didn't blame her. She smiled and said to him smoothly: "Since there is something important, you can't panic. What should you do when you go out?"
"While watching the show, I recently met a friend. He came from the north. He was humorous and funny and eloquent." Zhang Huaiyi said of Geng Qing who had just met, and couldn't help but praise him. "Yesterday, his father was bullied by a rascal rogue in Pingkangfang. He stole a chair and refused to let us wait for help. He set up a play by himself, making people play it so dark. We just sat in the dark and watched it, which was more interesting than watching operas on the stage."
The young man didn't think too much about it, and he was in front of the princess and princesses. How smart the two of them naturally didn't dare to deceive them. Instead, they said it, even if they did something wrong, they would be slapped in the head at most.
"It is rare for you to have such a smart guy among your young masters." Princess Guangde smiled with a pursed lips, "Then go ahead, just punish a group of rascals, don't hurt anyone's lives."
"yes."
Zhang Huaiyi nodded repeatedly and looked at the prince-in-law. Yu Cong was nearly forty years old and had always been gentle. When he heard his wife say this, he naturally let the young man go. Seeing that he bowed respectfully and walked out of the mansion, he put on his robe and ran to the back of the carriage, chuckled twice, shook his head and turned back, and continued with his wife.
"I'm afraid I can't change my character even if I marry a wife."
"Aren't we just looking for someone for him today? My sister has a daughter that is just right at the right age."
"Your sister is arrogant and willful. The daughter you raised, and Huaiyi's temperament, is afraid she wants to demolish his old Zhang family... Cough cough cough..."
"Say a few words, you are in poor health, so you shouldn't come out with me today."
The couple has been in love for many years, just like when they were young, and they have lost a lot of etiquette during conversation, just like ordinary couples who go to the front yard while walking.
at the same time.
Zhang Huaiyi, who went out to get on the carriage, urged the coachman to hurry to Chongyifang. When he arrived at the place, Li Yu and a few young masters had already parked in the alley of the back door, and there were even two more cars. After entering the inner room, he was soon invited by the guards who pretended to be guarding the hospital to the side room.
"Brother Huaiyi, are you here? Sit down quickly." "How come you don't know such an interesting thing."
The two of them were the youngest son of the Censor Zhao Meng, and the third son of the Jingzhao Yin Li Tang. They rarely hang out with him on weekdays, but they were closer to Li Wei, so Zhang Huaiyi probably called him by the other party.
Thinking of it, he bowed to the two of them, "The two brothers are suspicious. I only found out yesterday afternoon that I was confined to my house after returning to the house and was able to escape from the trap early this morning..."
A group of young men talked about the trouble, but couldn't say anything important. After a while of greeting, Zhang Huaiyi asked Geng Qing and whether Liu Da could come over.
"Geng Langjun has already come over and talks in the woman's room. As for the ruffian, he should be still sleeping, but I think he should be on the road. I haven't seen his anxious appearance yesterday, as if I have never seen silver or a woman."
Outside the side room, the other end of the eaves extending, in the closed doors and windows, Qiao Niang held a palm-shaped fan and shook the Qing Young sitting on the chair. The latter gestured and said to the woman opposite.
"When you were in a brothel, you knew the reason why you wanted to welcome but refused. In fact, it was also called speech. Now this scene is just to make you familiar with the courage to be in charge. In the future, Liu Da's industry will be handed over to you."
"Uncle, can you really bring all the other party's things with this plan?"
Bai Yunxiang tries the tulle that has slipped off her shoulders, and looks at the words Geng Qing wrote last night and what she wants to do next, all seem to be ordinary and pleasing ways to please people.
"Just do it, and when this matter is over, you will understand it all."
Geng Qing was worried about taking the first step in Chang'an, so Liu Da came to his door by himself. What's more, such a rascal villain, and his income was extorted. He would not lose his heart by taking his things.
After saying a few more words, two rhythmic bird songs sounded outside the courtyard. Geng Qing patted his sleeves and stood up: "Okay, that thug is here, I'll go over to socialize those young men first."
When he passed through the central hall to the side wing, as soon as he closed the door, Liu Da's rude voice came from outside the yard. He lifted the wheelchair where Old Man Geng was sitting before. The subordinates who followed him also took more than a hundred taels of silver as the expenses for Old Man Geng's injury.
On this side, Bai Yunxiang's makeup looks a little clear. According to the contents of the paper she gave her, she pretended to be listless and heartbreaking, which made Liu Da feel both pity and joyful.
Although he couldn't even touch his hands, the woman invited him to walk around the yard. At noon, he kept his house to eat together and said some thoughtful words, and he treated him as her husband.
Finally, we went out to the street together, pulled brocade, found a tailor shop and made a new dress, and gave it to Liu Da.
"Young Master Liu, you are strong and so powerful, why do you wear such loose clothes in the market? This ribbon dress looks much better and more majestic when you wear it."
Hearing these words, Liu Da gestured on himself with his clothes, "Are you much better than your old man?"
Bai Yunxiang lowered her pretty face slightly, her mouth was shy, and she was as thin as a mosquito sound, and her shy look made the black man feel itchy.
As the evening came back to Qingya courtyard, Liu Da, who was about to leave, was called by the woman. She asked the guard to bring a box and opened it. She was full of white silver ingots, afraid that it would be as many as thousands of taels.
Liu Da was a little dazzled and his tone was a little stuttering.
"White Snake...what do you mean?"
"Gived to you." Bai Yunxiang lowered her head, walked out of the eaves with a sad expression, and looked at the peach tree on the courtyard wall, with a faint voice.
"I am with you and know that you are not as scoundrel as an outsider, but also a man of true nature. When you are still in the future today, there are letters coming from the north and urge me to go back. I have been together for two days and I see you very good people, but I can't do anything anymore and I can't let you suffer grievances. Take this box of silver. In the future... let's pretend that I have never seen me and have never entered this peach blossom courtyard."
"Bai...Madam."
Liu Da looked at the box of silver. In the past two days, he knew that the woman's husband's family also had a lot of assets. He gave her dozens of taels to others casually, and even took out such a box of silver. Who was not moved? When he looked at the beautiful girl with pear blossoms and rain, the black man immediately gritted his teeth.
"White Snake, you are beautiful, but your husband is the one who stepped into the coffin with one foot and has no children to inherit the family business. Once you die in the future, you will be taken away by your relatives. Wouldn't you be alone and helpless? Why don't I go back with you?"
"This...how can Mr. Liu have a lot of family business in Chang'an and go to the north with me. What should we do here?"
"I'll sell it. I'll wait for you there. When the old man dies, I'll marry you and give birth to a few fat boys. Isn't this life more comfortable than Chang'an?"
Seeing the woman hesitating, Liu Da walked two steps closer and lowered his voice: "I, Liu Da, have become a master of my master and learned martial arts. The ordinary people are not close to me. If the old man is ungrateful, he will do it with one knife, otherwise he will let down his wife's great years."
After all, if he dared to go to Chang'an to pursue a child, the black man also felt that women were not the kind of conservative people. Besides, the list was written by him. As long as the woman didn't follow him, he would take his men to Weizhou and pat his things at the other party's house. The income was no worse than now.
Sure enough, the woman there hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement. The two agreed to the itinerary in the yard. The next day, Liu Da resold two tea shops and a cloth shop. After a notice, someone came to ask for the price. After taking out the 50,000 yuan, it was replaced by silver and put it on the rented ship with the two big boxes brought by the woman.
"Drive the boat!"
Liu Da dressed in a ribbon cloak and urged the boat to leave the dock. He looked at the beauty who was following his men and standing with the side of the boat. He stood at the stern with a full spirit. He looked at Chang'an, which was gradually moving away, and the boat passed by, or stopped on the water, and some people were fishing and gathering wine to have fun.
The passenger ship drifting in the distance, several gorgeously dressed figures sat in the guest house, looking at the ship gradually moving away from the window, Li Yu was a little worried.
"Geng Langjun, aren't you afraid that that guy will take Yinliang away with your woman?"
The boat outside sat on a low stool, wearing a hat raised his face, pulled up the fishing rod in his hand, and dragged a string of water plants to the front of him.
Anglers catch everything except fish.
Geng Qingliu lied and threw the water plants aside, looked at the outline of the ship that was gradually distant there, and smiled at them: "There are all my people on the ship, and the few clutches passing by next to me are also mine. How can they let them go..."
...........
White clouds crossed the blue sky, and the water birds fell on the guardrail of the sailing ships. They cried twice, and were flew away by the strong man who came.
"Mr. Liu, I am from the north and I feel a little seasick. Let's go back to the inner room to rest first."
Bai Yunxiang swept around and had already left Chang'an. She bowed gently and said. Liu Da nodded with a smile, not as anxious as he was when he first met. Anyway, he would have to stay together tonight, so how could he care about the whole day?
When I arrived in Weizhou, the money belonged to him and the women belonged to him.
"Haha...my mother said I was blessed... Sure enough, blessed..." The black man who stood at the bow of the ship held his hands and looked at the waterway ahead. The ships passing by were full of aura of a member of the army. Behind him, footsteps gradually approached.
Liu Dali frowned slightly when the new clothes on his body, muttered, "It's... the name of the clothes, why is it called Shouyi...", and his footsteps approached. He subconsciously turned around, and in his eyes, he saw a man with a fierce face stabbing his arms forward.
A long pole was pressed against his back, and there was no time to react. He only shouted halfway through his mouth: "You..." He rushed directly outside the boat and fell into the Wei River with a bang.
Puff~~
The sound of water broke open, and Liu Da leaned over his head to shout, and he hit his forehead with a long pole and pressed it tightly into the water. When he heard the movement and stillness, several ruffians who had reacted came from the stern of the boat, were knocked down by the boatman, took out the dagger hidden in his crotch, stabbed wildly, and the blood instantly dyed the deck red.
Then he tied the stones and sank into the water one by one.
"how's it going?"
Bai Yunxiang had experienced the Shatuo people's affairs. Although her face was not good-looking, she was much calmer. She asked outside. Dou Wei, who was on the bow of the ship, looked at Liu Da, whose face was thorned by a bamboo pole, had his body floating on the water, rippling with the waves, and nodded to the cabin.
"Dead."
"Turn forward for a while, then turn back."
The woman calmly replied, holding back her trembling hands and feet.
