At this moment, Yun'er stared at her young master with wide eyes, pouting her little mouth, widening her black and white eyes, her expression seemed to be saying...
"Really?"
Shen Lie couldn't help but feel guilty, his old face turned slightly red, and he tapped her head lightly: "Don't think so wildly!"
You can’t go wrong by listening to the young master.
Yun'er then responded aggrievedly: "Oh!"
In the blink of an eye.
One night passed.
Before dawn, Shen Lie got up early, put on a new outfit from head to toe, and dressed properly, he made a few majestic poses and made a few expressions in front of the bronze mirror.
Then I tied up the square towel, put some water on my hair, and memorized the Qing Dynasty poems I remembered last night silently several times.
Shen Lie felt that it was almost done.
Although there were not many ancient poems that he could recite in full, every one of them was a masterpiece. Shen Lie felt that if he wanted to get through today, the key was to rely on his excellent acting skills!
With a little confidence in his heart, Shen Lie hurriedly rushed into the back room and pulled the sleepy Yun'er out of the bed.
Yun'er was holding her delicate little shoulders by him, sitting on the edge of the bed with her bare white feet, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and naturally she became squeamish.
Finally, she opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the hazy sky outside. It was still dark outside, and there was still at least half an hour before dawn.
Yun'er was even more embarrassed and annoyed now, and protested in a timid voice: "Master... what are you doing!"
What time of the year is this? No one is allowed to sleep!
Shen Lie quickly responded: "Hey, be good, get dressed."
At this moment, Shen Lie felt anxious and said to my aunt, please open your eyes quickly and put on your clothes. We have to go to the store to get busy.
The young master has something big to do today!
After some coaxing and coaxing, Yun'er got dressed, washed up, and then they hurried to the cheap shop.
Shen Lie got busy in the kitchen. He cut all the side dishes for today, cooked the soup, and gave Yun'er some instructions.
"You take care of your business and your home. I'll be back soon, young master."
All the big and small things in the store were handed over to Yun'er.
Then Shen Lie looked eagerly at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the Zhang family's horse team to appear. He felt both expectant and nervous, like a newbie dating a goddess for the first time.
Time passed minute by minute.
It was dawn, and the city gates of the capital had just opened. Finally, the crisp sound of horse hooves came from the alley, and a guard from the Taishi Mansion walked quickly.
The guard cupped his fists towards Shen Lie and said, "Mr. Shen, you are polite. My young master invites you to come over."
Shen Lie quickly cheered up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Let's go."
As the guard came to the alley, he looked up and saw Zhang Jingxiu in men's clothing, riding a horse and looking at him with a smile, as elegant and elegant as ever, with bright eyes and white teeth.
Shen Lie quickly bowed and said with a smile: "Meet Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Jingxiu looked at his outfit, pursed his lips and smiled: "No need to be polite."
While talking, the guard leader Zhang Kui took a horse and handed it to Shen Lie. Shen Lie straightened his clothes, calmly got on the horse, and bowed again.
As a substitute martial artist, Shen Lie's riding skills are really good. He has practiced...
Following Zhang Kui's order.
"Walk!"
The cavalry of more than ten people left Chaoyang Gate and walked slowly towards the outside of the city. Soon, Shen Lie and Zhang Jingxiu were riding together, and the few noble sons of the Zhang family behind them were silent.
But those jealous eyes were already red.
When the sun is three poles high.
outside the city.
A warm sun hung high in the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. When the horse team left the city, the scenery suddenly opened up, and their marching speed began to speed up.
At this time, the fields were already green, wildflowers were already growing on both sides of the road, crops were growing, and there was life everywhere.
Shen Lie was riding on the horse, pulling on the reins, breathing in the pure, natural and pollution-free fresh air. The air was filled with the fragrance of earth, and the sun was warm on his body.
Looking at the fields, wild flowers on both sides of the road, and the cascading mountains not far away, I couldn't help but feel happy.
March in Yangchun is a great time for spring outings. In these years, the dignitaries in the capital of the Ming Dynasty also liked spring outings, and there were also famous check-in places.
Kunming Lake, which was still called West Lake at that time, Yuquan Mountain, Biyun Temple, Xiangshan Mountain, Temple of Heaven Pine Forest, and Jishui Pool were all famous places of interest.
However, some of these scenic spots are too crowded and some are too far away. The place where Zhang Jingxiu is going for an outing today is called Liulangzhuang.
Liulangzhuang is close to Wanshou Mountain. As the name suggests, the roads in this area are lined with willow trees. You can see them as far as the eye can see. There are many big trees that are hundreds of years old.
So every spring, when the willow trees sprout, the willow leaves sway in the wind like waves, and this scene is called the singing of orioles in the willow waves.
As the cavalry stopped by a large lake at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Kui dismounted, walked over quickly, and said softly: "Master, we're here."
Zhang Jingxiu, Shen Lie and others got off their horses and looked around, but they saw rippling water in the lake, rows of willows, and there were already crowds of people under the big willow tree.
Looking at the carriages and sedans parked by the lake, the tall horses grazing leisurely not far away, and the elegant and elegant young masters in flowing Confucian robes, strolling in the courtyard with their servants, entourage and maids.
Shen Lie narrowed his eyes and muttered silently in his heart.
"It's so lively."
A landscape painting of the prosperous Ming Dynasty was vividly displayed in front of Shen Lie. It was so magnificent, but...
Shen Lie's face couldn't help but look a little weird, and he was calculating in his mind how many years this prosperous age could last. It would be about sixty years after Zhang Juzheng's death.
After that.
This magnificent river and mountains will fall into endless darkness for centuries. This deep memory makes Shen Lie's heart heavy.
Shen Lie was looking at the scenery, lost in thought, but was awakened by the soft footsteps. When he turned around, he saw the elegant, charming and stunning Miss Zhang looking at him.
While being stared at by those bright eyes that were as beautiful as spring water, she just dressed up in men's clothing again. This bright beauty made Shen Lie's mouth go dry.
This is really terrible. She is obviously beautiful, but she likes to wear men's clothes. But any normal adult man will have a trace of reverie that he shouldn't have at this moment.
However, with his good acting skills, Shen Lie suppressed the restlessness in his heart and hurriedly bowed: "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Jingxiu pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Brother Shen, you don't have to be so angry."
Zhang Jingxiu pursed his lips and smiled again. He patted the folding fan on his arm and said softly: "Brother Shen, please come with me."
Shen Lie also showed a sunny smile, deliberately trailing half a step behind, and followed the stunning beauty in men's clothing towards the lakeside lined with willow trees not far away.
The two of them treated each other like brothers, chatting and laughing happily as they walked. Along the way, they passed by groups of Confucian scholars, dignitaries and pedestrians from time to time.
But under the willow trees and by the lake, there were groups of Confucian scholars and young princes sitting on the ground or talking loudly. It was really lively.
It didn't take long for Zhang Jingxiu to meet an acquaintance, so he stopped to chat. He looked at the noble gentlemen who passed by him, bowed to Zhang Jingxiu, and exchanged greetings.
Shen Lie quickly looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, acting like a gentleman.
