Chapter 36
After all the tossing, Wan Ming couldn't sleep well at night, and heard that Xiang Xun had gone to the outskirts of the city early in the morning, and Wan Ming wanted to send someone to call him back, which added to Wan Ming's trouble.
"Princess, why do you say that the son-in-law is like a wild horse that has run away? It can't stay there for a day, and runs outside every day." Xiao Wu served Wan Ming a small bowl of porridge, and began to mutter about Xiang Xun early in the morning, " Married, the palace clothes stretch out their hands to eat and open their mouths, but the son-in-law doesn't take care of him."
Thinking of Xiang Xun's look at the painting last night, Wan Ming unknowingly brought in some thoughts, which were already bland, and now she lost her appetite, and didn't bother to defend Xiang Xun.
After hearing this, the mother-in-law at the side flattered her cleverly, "The son-in-law shares the worries of the princess, and is busy with dealing with things big and small in Jing Province every day, which can be said to be conscientious."
"But no one said that the duty of a son-in-law is to serve the country and the people." Xiao Wu frowned and muttered in a low voice, "If the son-in-law is too showy, won't other officials be afraid to sue the emperor for jealousy?"
The nanny didn't hear Xiao Wu's thoughts, but Xiao Wu reminded Wan Ming that according to Xiang Xun's current status and situation, it is really not appropriate to make a big difference, otherwise it will be too eye-catching and easy to cause trouble.But treating him like a puppet is another matter that makes both Wan Ming and Xiang Xun feel uncomfortable, which is a test for Wan Ming.
"Princess Qi, please see Mrs. Fu."
Just as he was talking, a person related to Xiang Xun came.Wanming nodded to let Fusheng in. Fusheng held a scroll with his hands horizontally, knelt down to pay his respects, "Join Your Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
"Please, Mr. Fu, why are you here?"
It's not that Wan Ming didn't see the scroll in Fu Sheng's hand, but the portraits required for the notice of missing persons don't need to be framed like this. Wan Ming didn't know the purpose of sending Fu Sheng to Xiang Xun, so she asked directly.
"Back to the princess, the son-in-law only asked the servant to bring the scroll to the princess immediately, and did not explain anything else."
"Is this painting mounted this morning?" Wan Ming asked, and Xiao Wu went to get the scroll from Fu Sheng's hand and handed it to Wan Ming.
Xiao Wu held one end and slowly lowered it, and the portrait in the painting gradually appeared.In the layout of floating petals, Wan Ming is wearing a light pink dress, standing gracefully, the gauze skirt curves with the wind, the scattered blue silk flutters around her ears, her long hair like a waterfall reaches her waist, she holds a sign sideways, and hangs her head down The thoughtful picture is frozen under Xiang Xun's brush, lifelike.On the upper right, there is a line of small seal script in green ink: I wish to win the hearts of one, and the white head will not be separated.Stamped with Xiang Xun's seal.
Wan Ming is very clear about Xiang Xun's original intention of making this painting, and because she understands, the smile on her face is undisguised.Wan Ming signaled that Xiao Wu, who was always feeling emotional, rewarded Fu Sheng to Xun's painter, and walked into the inner room with the painting by herself, accepting Xiang Xun's silent explanation.
Hong Xin, who was lingering at the gate of the palace early in the morning, finally waited for Xiang Xun and stopped Xiang Xun's horse. Knowing that Xiang Xun had been busy with farmland distribution in the suburbs for the past two days, he asked to go with Xiang Xun.
Hong Xin recklessly rushed to the horse, and made this unreasonable request again. Subconsciously, Xiang Xun was unwilling to agree to Hong Xin, so he naturally refused, "Staying outside the city is tiring and boring, you might as well stay in the palace to accompany Hong Xin." Brother."
"It's even more boring to be with my elder brother!" Hong Xin said angrily, "Are you afraid that I will pester you? My elder brother and I will leave in two days, and I won't stick hot faces on you, Lu Dongbin! Avoid seeing you , Don’t you want to admit that Big Brother and I are your friends?!”
Xiang Xun angered Hong Xin for some reason, and Hong Xin made a big fuss in his anger. Xiang Xun couldn't tell whether what Hong Xin said was true or not, so he could only deny it with actions, and ordered someone to bring another horse over. , Xiang Xun and Hong Xin left from the palace gate together.
Hong Xin turned his head to look at Xiang Xun beside him more than once, and the fleeting anger had long since lingered on Xiang Xun with reluctant eyes.Last night Hong Shichang blocked the door of Hong Xin's room with full determination, just to prevent Hong Xin from going to Xiang Xun.Impossible things, no matter how hard you try, you will only make things difficult for yourself and others. If the other party can live happily, then watch from afar to guard them. At least this kind of memory has a more meaningful ending.
What Hong Shichang said meant the same thing, but there were more real and convincing examples around him to inspire Hong Xin's feelings. Xiang Xun and Wanming are still husband and wife under their respective circumstances. Fate I have to believe it.Hong Xin was stubborn and stubborn, but could not deceive himself or others. Enduring all the unwillingness and pain, he agreed to Hong Shichang's proposal to leave Jingdi, and Hong Shichang also agreed to give Hong Xin a few more days to say goodbye.
The horse stopped suddenly, and when Hong Xin came back to his senses, Xiang Xun had already stood on the horse and held back Hong Xin's horse, "Waiting there so early, you must have not eaten breakfast, come down to eat something first."
Hong Xin got down from his horse, and in front of him was a steaming noodle stall filled with fragrance, Xiang Xun tied the horse rope to a tree, and ordered two bowls of noodles.While waiting, Xiang Xun looked at Hong Xin, "What's wrong with you? You're listless, are you and Big Brother Hong really going to leave?"
Hong Xin also looked at Xiang Xun, but answered irrelevantly, "Don't you eat breakfast every morning when you leave the palace? How can you get the strength to do hard work for a long time?"
The two bowls of noodles sprinkled with chopped green onion were brought to the table by the errand runner, Xiang Xun didn't pay attention to Hong Xin's inappropriate words, "I don't have much appetite in the morning, if I'm hungry, I can eat some farm food, it's enough to fill me up."
"A big man eats so little", Hong Xin put all the few thin slices of beef in his bowl into Xiang Xun's bowl, "People like you are rare, born with a golden spoon in your mouth, live You don’t have any discomfort or temper in your poor life. You used to be like the stars, but now the people who don’t know what’s good or bad are calling you by name, you must be uncomfortable in your heart, and you have to pretend to be calm on the surface.”
Xiang Xun listened to Hong Xin's remark, and asked with a smile, "Could it be possible that I still cry and cry for injustice, so that the common people will pity me, sympathize with me, and then forgive me for losing their country? They Blame me because I once carried their hopes on my shoulders, and then I let them down. The responsibilities I took can bring me the throne, and they will also bring me accusations, but people should always look forward, so that the future The road will be full of hope.”
Xiang Xun ate a big mouthful of noodles, his cheeks were bulging.Hong Xin caught the noodles with his chopsticks and stopped again, "Wan Ming is the one who made you think about it?"
Xiang Xun chewed for a moment, then nodded, "I can't deny that because of having her by my side in Unknown Days, I am at ease. Although there are many potential factors that make us hostile, I am willing to believe in her. "
Hong Xin moved her lips, lowered her head to eat the noodles, and said nothing more.
The most obvious change in Xiang Xun recently, it doesn't take much effort to notice it, is the smile on the corner of Xiang Xun's mouth, and this subtle but profound change only comes from one person.Wan Ming recovers from a serious illness, and what he treats is the relationship between Xiang Xun and Wan Ming.Even if Wan Ming doesn't do anything, as long as she is by Xiang Xun's side, Xiang Xun can get the whole world, not to mention that Xiang Xun is as important to Wan Ming as Wan Ming is to Xiang Xun, the two cannot do without each other after all .
"Xiao Wu", Wan Ming changed into a set of clothes that are convenient for going out, and looked at Xiao Wu who was tidying up at the table, "Are you all ready?"
Xiao Wu wrapped the pastries on the table with silk cloth and put them in a food box. When she saw Wan Ming come out, she was startled, "Princess, you are going out of the palace again? I'll just send it to the concubine."
"Why not? Are there wolves, tigers and leopards outside the palace?"
Wan Ming was in a relaxed state, Xiao Wu muttered softly, "I'm afraid it's more difficult than jackals, tigers and leopards. If Mr. Ren asks, I can't explain it again."
Wanming, who was in a good mood, walked briskly, Xiao Wu let go of her face and let out a sigh of relief, and followed closely behind.
With the effort of a bowl of noodles, the road that must be passed out of the city is already impassable, and it is not the case in the busiest weekdays.Xiang Xun frowned and looked at the crowded crowd in front of him. Before the focus of excitement appeared, a melodious piano sound first visited the ears of everyone, playing melodiously and infinitely mourning.
The crowd just kept bursting into applause, but the moment Xiang Xun plucked the strings, his eyes were fixed on the attic where the sound of the piano was coming out, his eyes were anxious and surprised, without blinking.
"What's wrong with you?" Hong Xin bumped towards Xun with his elbow, and then looked at the place where Xiang Xun was staring at, "It seems that the brothel wants to use the oiran as its name again, don't you want to get involved too?"
"What?" Xiang Xun asked incredulously, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still didn't want to believe it.
The sound of the piano stopped, and the face of the person playing the piano was covered with a veil, and was supported by two maids on the left and right to walk out of the attic. A woman who looked like a bustard beside him destroyed Xiang Xun's luck.
"Today our number one girl from Yanyu Tower, Hongyue, came out to pick up the guests, the first night's blessing." The old bustard paused, glanced seductively at the men gathered downstairs, and said sharply, waving the red silk scarf, "100 Twice, the one with the highest price wins!"
The voice fell, "200 taels, 300 taels... 500 taels!"
Xiang Xun's expression had changed, and Hong Xin saw something was wrong, "What's wrong with you? People spend money to buy romance, why are you so angry?"
If Xiang Xun was really romantic, Hong Xin found that he was not a little bit happy.
The people hiding in the dark kept watching Xiang Xun's reaction, picked the right moment, and beckoned a sloppy man named Kong Wu to bid, "One thousand five hundred taels!"
The old bustard happily announced Hongyue's fate, and Xiang Xun was furious.Hong Xin didn't stop, Xiang Xun flew up from his horse and landed directly on the attic, the wind brought up lifted the veil from Hongyue's face, Xiang Xun took a look to make sure, and protected him behind him.
The people in the dark showed triumphant smiles, and all the thugs with knives who were ready to go rushed up the Yanyu Tower, and Xiang Xun was undoubtedly trapped.
