Of course Cheng Jiaoniang is not a vicious bandit or bandit. No bandit or bandit can make a bowl of sencha so quickly.
Qin Thirteenth Lang looked at the tea bowl in front of him. It was a black glazed tea cup, with green tea in it that was very thick and bright.
"It's really rude." He said with a salute, a little apologetically, "You are tired from running for a long distance, but I followed you here. It would be better for you to make tea for me when you are tired."
"I'm still tired after a bowl of tea." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Qin Shisanlang looked at her and smiled, picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"I came to Beijing this time just to bury a few brothers." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Qin Shisanlang put down his tea bowl and looked at her.
After not seeing each other for two years, my wife still talks like this, but he is different from before. He listens to whatever she says.
"My condolences, Madam." He saluted and said solemnly.
Cheng Jiaoniang returned the gift.
"Then I won't disturb you. Just take a rest. If something happens..." Qin Shisanlang opened his mouth to say, but when he said the words, he thought, there are very few times when something happens to this lady. If something happens, will she come to him?
Then it will be even less, "I will come back to you when the time comes."
Cheng Jiaoniang saluted again.
Seeing the street door closing, Qin Shisanlang breathed out a breath, with a smile spreading from his lips.
How could I meet her by such a coincidence?
It seems that no one knows that she has arrived today, and he is the first one.
The first one to pick her up and deliver her home.
The first one!
"Son, you just ran away. I almost couldn't find you. The tengu is eating the sun. It's so scary. You're still running around..." the boy complained, handing over the reins.
Qin Shisanlang smiled and mounted his horse.
"What's so scary about Tengu eating the sun? It's such a good day." He said, and then he spurred his horse away.
Even if the Tengu eats the sun, it will still be a good day. The young man looked stunned. The young master is really strange.
The boy was not the only one who noticed that Thirteenth Qin had become strange.
As Minister Qin walked into the hall, he looked back with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Qin asked, waving her fan.
"Why is Thirteen so happy?" Qin Shidao asked.
"Is he ever unhappy?" Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
"This time is different, this time I am really happy." Qin Shi said, taking off his robe, "He is so happy that he can't hide it even if he wants to, and he doesn't want to hide it."
That's why it's strange.
"What's so exciting about the solar eclipse?" he guessed.
Mrs. Qin sighed.
"Go and ask the Thirteenth Young Master what he is doing?" she said to the maid.
The maid responded and said she would be back soon after leaving.
"The Thirteenth Young Master is studying," she said.
"Isn't this the same as before? I'm so happy that I can still study?" Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
………………………
Qin Shisanlang looked at the book in his hand, his eyes moving back and forth, but he still couldn't read a single line of words. What appeared in front of his eyes were every move, word and deed of the lady he saw today.
He read a book early this morning, met with his husband and solved a few scriptures, and went to Desheng Tower with a few friends to recite poems and write essays. Yes, he now has many friends, classmates and children from aristocratic families.
They invited the oiran from Desheng Tower to watch the dance and listen to the songs. After they were exhausted, he took a step back to take a rest. This day he lived a fulfilling and comfortable life.
But why, when I saw that lady, all these disappeared, leaving no trace in my heart.
It seems that these people and things are pale and powerless these days. When this lady appears, it is like a thick stroke of ink on a picture scroll, suddenly becoming alive.
Qin Shisanlang breathed out and put down the book in his hand.
This is really sad and sad.
Has the two years been in vain? Is the happiness of the two years fake?
What's more, my own happiness is just my own happiness. In the eyes of that lady...
You are all the same….
Qin Shisanlang reached out and picked up the scroll and studied it attentively.
However, she still made herself a bowl of tea...
Using your own tea stove, you do it yourself, roasting and grinding, ordering tea, and using a rare black glaze tea bowl, so unique.
It's not that this lady has no heart, she just doesn't seem to be able or good at expressing her feelings.
It was just like pushing a box of snacks over blankly.
"Please eat," she said.
Zhou Lang regarded this as a humiliation and sent the children to coax the children. He felt a little embarrassed at the time, but after thinking about it, not all children wanted to be coaxed by that lady.
I can count on my hands the number of people who can be coaxed by that lady.
Qin Shisanlang smiled and threw the scroll in his hand on the tables.
When dusk fell, the capital city gates were already ready to be closed. Originally they would not be closed so early in the past, but due to the sudden solar eclipse today, the government ordered them to be closed in advance.
At this moment, the three horses and the two men came to the city gate, but the gatekeeper didn't even wave and let them pass through.
"Look at that horse carrying a lot of stuff. Why did you let him pass without even checking it?" a soldier asked in confusion.
"You are still very young." The city gate guard said with a bit of disdain, and raised his chin towards the city, "The young man who just passed by had a murderous look, and he was dressed like a soldier, and he was covered in dust. It can be seen that
He is someone who has seen blood on the battlefield. Are you going to check for this kind of person? He is looking for a beating."
Passing through the city gate and galloping along the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, the warm feeling of returning home came to my face. Saturday Lang couldn't help but urge his horse, and the lanterns came on. Because of the solar eclipse, there were fewer people on the street, which is rare in the noisy capital.
Somewhat clean.
"Young Master?" The young man who was following closely saw Liu Lang reining in his horse suddenly, and hurriedly followed suit. After passing a few steps, he turned around and asked in confusion.
Liu Lang looked in one direction, and there were lanterns lit in front of the courtyard gate in the alley beside the bridge. There were no people resting in front of the gate, and it looked peaceful and comfortable.
I wonder if the woman has arrived?
Compared with the northwest, the journey to Jiangzhou Mansion is a bit far, but she should set off earlier than him.
"Sir? Do you want to go to Mrs. Cheng's house first?" the boy said with a smile.
Go see her? See what she does?
Does she care?
Zhou Lang snorted, turned around and urged his horse to gallop away.
The boy hurriedly followed, but couldn't help but look back and saw that the door of the house opened and many people came out...
Many people?
There seemed to be acquaintances among them, like people from home...
The horse's hooves are brisk and the night is dark. When you turn the corner, you can't see anything.
"We'd better stay." Standing outside the door, the entourage couldn't help but said again, "Master Zhou gave us to my wife in the first place."
"I didn't say I didn't want you." The maid smiled, "I'm going to scare you."
After hearing her words, the followers all laughed.
"Aren't you scared?" Someone boldly joked.
"Go back, you have been out for so long, meet your relatives and friends, and come back after a day's rest. I am here," the maid said.
Perhaps they were used to following the lady and listened to whatever she said. Everyone stopped being polite and bowed and left. Watching them leave the maid and Ban Qin and close the door, the silence returned in front of the door.
The door of the neighboring house opened, and the surprise on the gatekeeper's face was reflected under the lantern. He quickly closed the door and left quickly.
As night fell, the palace doors were locked, and the emperor and his concubines gathered in the Queen Mother's Palace after a hard day's work.
The newly renovated Queen Mother's Palace is new and bright, with bright lights. Now the emperor has two sons and three princesses. Although it is not too many, it is still a lot. At this time, one son and three daughters gathered here, chatting and laughing.
Children's words are very pleasant.
"Father, please." Under the guidance of the concubines and wet nurse, the youngest princess, with a milky voice, held wine for the emperor in a decent manner.
The emperor's fatigue was swept away, he took the wine with a smile, held the little princess in front of him, and scanned the hall.
Sure enough, there are still no two children...
"Today is a solar eclipse. Let's ask the prince and prince Qing to sit down together and have some wine to calm down the shock," he said.
"I've already called him," the Queen Mother said. "It's not like your Majesty doesn't know his temper. Don't embarrass him."
"It's not good to avoid this person all the time." The emperor sighed.
The imperial concubine sitting down curled her lips and sneered in her heart.
He just avoided us, pretending to be pitiful and sensible, but he didn't avoid you, Your Majesty. If you really want to avoid people, you shouldn't go to the emperor every day and follow him to court. The eldest prince should go to court.
What's the point of following him? He's just a county prince, and he hasn't even been given the title of prince yet.
"Has he ever embarrassed you in front of His Majesty?" the imperial concubine asked the eldest prince in a low voice.
The eldest prince didn't like such boring occasions very much. If he could, he would avoid people and study in the palace or have fun with the palace people instead of seeking pleasure from others.
So it's not bad to be a fool. That fool should really thank him.
Hearing the imperial concubine's question, the eldest prince snorted.
"How dare he!" he said. "A stupid person who can't even memorize all the scriptures or tell all the allusions, yet still embarrasses others?"
Because he had to take care of Prince Qing, although the Queen Mother and the Emperor repeatedly insisted that he study, Prince Jin'an slowly stopped going to school, and his studies were considered wasted.
However, as a master prince, there is no need to take the imperial examination. It is enough to be literate and sensible. If you don't want to learn, just don't learn. Gradually, the Queen Mother and the Emperor no longer insisted on it.
"But I heard that he often gives His Majesty advice, and the things he says are in line with Your Majesty's wishes," the imperial concubine said.
The eldest prince clenched his hands on his knees and turned to look at the imperial concubine.
"Empress, I made the decision on the Guanshan Canal case the day before yesterday, and I participated in the debate on the new law on river floods. Haven't you heard about it?" he asked.
Although he is only thirteen years old, the eldest prince is becoming more and more powerful now, perhaps because he is attending more and more affairs with the emperor.
Look at how aggressive and dignified this question is.
The imperial concubine pursed her lips and smiled.
"How could it be possible? I'm even listening to you, ma'am." She said with a smile.
"Then please rest assured, no matter who says or does what, I am the one who is most in line with Your Majesty's wishes, and I am the one who always advises Your Majesty," the eldest prince said.
"Yes, I understand." The imperial concubine said with a smile, reaching out to pat his arm, "I'm not afraid that others will steal your limelight..."
"No one can steal my limelight." The eldest prince said.
Those who steal my limelight will not end well, such as that fool Prince Qing.
