Chapter 24 The Queen
Now it is the end of May, and it will soon enter June. The weather this year is different from previous years. Summer comes and goes quickly. At the beginning of July, the days when people are so hot that they want to jump into the river and never come up again disappear. , the deserted streets gradually became lively, and the capital city returned to its bustling state.
The exam will be held in a few days, and a large number of candidates who have come to Beijing to catch the exam have already arrived in the capital. The number of young people has suddenly increased, and anyone can see the high spirits on their faces.
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Prime Minister Zuo went down to court and did not leave. He came to Wuying Hall to ask to see His Majesty, but was told by the smiling eunuch Qin Wangshan that His Majesty was unwell and wanted to rest. He would not see the Minister today.
His Majesty seldom asked for sick leave. After listening to the left minister, he didn't have any thoughts. After a few words of concern, he turned and left.Since His Majesty is not feeling well, he will go to the Regent, it's all the same anyway.
But when we arrived at the Wenhua Palace, the maids guarding the gate also said the same thing, and Zuo Xiang felt something was wrong.
Although it is said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, but it is not so close that they will get the same disease. Now it is July, and it is not October when typhoid fever is rampant.
Prime Minister Zuo frowned, unable to figure out what the two of them were up to, and when they returned home, the wife brought the two granddaughters out, saying that she wanted to take the granddaughters to the street to buy lanterns and seek marriage.
Only then did Zuo Xiang recall that today is Qiqiao Festival, the favorite festival for girls. Zuo Xiang usually treats his granddaughter harshly, but on this day, he inevitably eased his expression. Take out some silver taels and let the two little granddaughters buy something they like.
The granddaughter went out happily, Prime Minister Zuo watched them leave kindly, and then frowned again.
Your Majesty and the prince, what have they been doing?
The two people who were missed by Prime Minister Zuo were standing outside the door of Bubu Gaosheng.
Bubugaosheng is a well-known inn in the capital, and many foreigners live here just to get a good start.
Bubu Gaosheng was in a busy city, and when he went out, there were hawkers shouting everywhere, and there were many stalls set up selling the four treasures of the study that scholars must use.
Wei Xun is very interested in these things. He was born in the palace since he was a child, and he has never seen anything other than tributes. Rough inkstones and burnt brush washers are all new things in his eyes. If he inquires about the price, he will I'm even more interested.
Fifty words is a whole set?With this price, what bike do you want? !
……
Qin Wangshan was an eunuch, and it was inconvenient to follow them, so Jiang Sui called Jiang Liu up. Whenever their Majesty wanted to buy something, Jiang Sui would pay first, and then Jiang Liu would go over without complaint and act as a boy carrying things.
From Jiang Sui's point of view, Wei Xun bought all useless things, and he couldn't really use them, so he probably bought them back, that is, just threw them in the warehouse.Forget it, there is not much money, and if children want souvenirs, it is not easy for adults to stop them.
Jiang Sui put himself into the role of an old father, thinking about things old-fashionedly, but he didn't know that Wei Xun didn't buy these for fun, he just liked this kind of thing, no matter what he wanted, Jiang Sui would pamper him and buy it Give him a sense of experience.
Wei Xun was still excitedly picking things out. Jiang Sui looked back and found that those things had covered Jiang Liu's head. From his perspective, he could only see Jiang Liu's legs moving.
Twitching the corners of his mouth, Jiang Sui stopped Wei Xun who was still going shopping like crazy, "Okay, it's almost done, there is nothing good on this street, there is a Tianqing Pavilion there, why don't you go there and have a look."
Wei Xun's familiarity with the outside of the palace is naturally not as good as Jiang Sui's. Hearing Jiang Sui's words, Wei Xun put down the porcelain bowl in his hand graciously, then nodded reservedly to Jiang Sui, "I will listen to Ah Sui."
Tianqing Pavilion is an old shop specializing in the Four Treasures of the Study. The store is grand and magnificent, and the things inside are naturally of several grades. They walked to Tianqing Pavilion, Jiang Sui waved his hand back, Jiang Liuru was amnesty, he Quickly turned around, found a disguised Habayashi Army, handed over everything, shook his sore arms, and quickly followed the two people in front.
The more high-end shops have fewer people, and these shops are located on the same street, which is also convenient for those distinguished guests to come and choose. After only turning a street corner, the noisy voices gradually disappear, leaving the lively environment suddenly , Wei Xun still felt uncomfortable.
He glanced back, and then said to the people around him, "I like it there."
Jiang Sui listened, and chuckled, "I like it too."
Even though the market is noisy, and people can spend the whole morning talking about buying and selling for a penny, it is undeniable that there is something on that land that Jiang Sui and Wei Xun have never owned, or have ever owned. The warmth that one of them can draw.
Or rather, popularity.
Being in a high position meant that they could no longer have such things. Naturally, they also had the glory and wealth that those people could never get in this life, but they were always used to envying each other.
Few people can focus on what they already have, they only see what they don't have, and then get angry and depressed about it. Thinking of this, Wei Xun couldn't help turning his eyes slightly.
From this angle, he could see Jiang Sui's long and soft eyelashes. He half-closed his eyes and looked ahead quietly.Ah Sui is always like this, not surprised by favor or humiliation, and treats it indifferently. He is obviously thinner and more fragile than anyone else, but he still stubbornly and firmly stands beside him, arguing for him and fighting for him.
Fortunately, he is not someone who only envies others, he can always see in his eyes that he has the best Ah Sui in the world.
And, they will always be together.
The corners of Wei Xun's lips curled up unconsciously. In fact, he didn't want much sincerity. He never thought of persecuting Jiang Sui, nor did he think of imprinting his own label on Jiang Sui. , Live every day in the future.As long as he has these, he is already content.
As for going further, he will work hard, but he doesn't force it.
The two monarchs and ministers walked side by side. Jiang Sui didn't know what Wei Xun was thinking. When he noticed, Wei Xun had already withdrawn his gaze. The Tianqing Pavilion was more than ten steps away. The voice of coming to speak attracted Jiang Sui's attention.
A young man was holding a bundle, judging from the shape, it was probably a book, he was wearing silk and satin, but there was no servant around him, and standing opposite him was a burly man, his age looked like He was about the same age as Jiang Sui, and behind him, there were four more burly servants than him.
The young master looked terrified, but he still pretended to be calm, "Get out of the way, I don't want to argue with you."
The man opposite him laughed arrogantly, "Young master, you really think you can scare me, say it again, hand over the book, and I'll let you go, otherwise, I'll let them beat you up , grab the book and let you go."
The young master's eyes widened immediately: "You, you dare! In broad daylight, let me see who dares to touch me!"
Jiang Sui frowned, he didn't know this young man, but he seemed to have seen that arrogant man before, he was the second generation ancestor of a certain state's family, he had been tyrannical outside, and he had done evil things such as robbing civilian women a few years ago , Later, it was the Duke who came forward to settle the matter, and the woman was not seriously injured, so she let it go so lightly.
Otherwise, Dali Temple would not let him go so easily.
It was probably because of the incident a few years ago that made him feel more confident. In recent years, he has become more and more arrogant, and now he can even do things like robbing things on the street and threatening to beat people.
Jiang Sui pursed his lips, and was about to step forward, but Wei Xun stopped him. He bent down and picked up a stone from the ground.
Jiang Sui looked at him inexplicably, and the next second, Wei Xun flicked lightly, and the stone flew out, hitting the back of the man's head with a "dang", he grinned in pain, clutched the back of his head, and turned around angrily. , "Who hit me?!"
There were quite a few people behind, but he locked his eyes on Jiang Sui and the other two for no other reason. One of them was holding back a smile, and the other was slowly wiping his fingers.
This is naked provocation, who can bear it? !
The man was about to rush over with his servants. From his point of view, Wei Xun's skinny body was just a show, and he could beat him to death by himself. Jiang Sui could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. , A second of silence for him, and he silently took two steps back.
Leave the C position to Wei Xun.
Outsiders may not know that Jiang Sui is Wei Xun's tutor, but he knows it very clearly.Wei Xun's physical skills are much higher than the average person's genetically. In addition, he has studied hard for many years, and now he is almost invincible in the palace. Perhaps only knights in the world can compete with him. World War I.
Jiang Sui even gestured to the Habayashi army to keep them out of the way. He really wanted to see how Wei Xun beat them down.
At this moment and this scene, Jiang Sui only hated that he didn't have melon seeds in his hand. He looked forward excitedly, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared.
A bigger stone fell from the sky, and this time it aimed at the back of the man's head. This time, it hit him with stars in his eyes. The man was completely annoyed. He turned around suddenly and shouted angrily, "Grandma, who doesn't have long eyes?" ?!"
A young man in white was leaning against the railing, and when he saw the man looking over, he raised the corners of his lips angrily, "Why, don't you recognize me?"
He was obviously dressed as a frail scholar, but he frightened the man so much that his legs trembled twice. He was obviously very afraid of this young man, and he wanted to escape but couldn't save face. In the end, he could only look fiercely at the most bullied person in the audience. Young master, "I'll settle accounts with you some other day!!!"
Then, he took the people and fled quickly.
Little son: "..."
This accident happened too quickly, and the young master's servants also came over there. They were very worried, thanked him and immediately took the young master away. The young master looked at Wei Xun with bright eyes , He still wanted to say something to these saviors, but unfortunately he didn't say success.
Wei Xun also looked in the direction of the young master, instead of looking at Jiang Sui, he suddenly said, "That's Zhou Gonggong's second son, Zhou Qinye."
Zhou Gong is a doctor of imperial history, a very prestigious veteran in the court, Jiang Sui heard him say this sentence without beginning and end, and immediately understood.No wonder he was so warm-hearted today, it turned out that he wanted to gain Master Zhou's favorability.
Jiang Sui thought it was funny, and just about to say something, he shut his mouth again, because the young man in white came over.
The young man in white was holding a folding fan in his hand, he looked at Wei Xun with interest, "Brother is very skilled."
Wei Xun didn't really want to chat with him, and he wasn't Lord Zhou's son, so there was no need for him to condescend.
"Each each other."
After saying this, Wei Xun tugged at Jiang Sui's sleeves, and the two walked towards Tianqing Pavilion. Seeing that they were about to leave, the young man in white still didn't give up and wanted to make friends with them, " Wait a minute, Zuo Zhiqiu, do you know the names of the two brothers?"
Suddenly, Jiang Sui stopped in his tracks.
Wei Xun still ignored the people behind him, he looked at Jiang Sui puzzled, "Ah Sui, what's wrong?"
Jiang Sui's body was stiff, and after a while, he turned around slowly. This time, he took a good look at the face of the young man in white.
It turned out that he was Zuo Zhiqiu, Wei Xun's military adviser in the book, and his future queen.
