After all, this is the second time for Wanyao to go to Beijing. The layout of the city has begun to take shape compared to last year. After all, it is an ancient capital with a history of thousands of years, and it has developed rapidly. It is said that the Forbidden Palace will be expanded, but now that production has just resumed everywhere, it is not yet suitable for large-scale construction.
Yuwen's house is in the east of the city, only a joss stick of incense away from the imperial palace, probably for the convenience of the morning court.
"Why did you come early?"
As soon as he got off the carriage, Yu Wenjun hurried forward to greet him. He should have just received the news, and his court clothes hadn't been changed yet, so he looked even more dusty than the two of them.
Xiang Huan took Wan Yao by the hand to watch her jump down, turned his head and smiled and said, "The weather is good, the car is going fastwhy, you just finished your work?"
Yu Wenjun replied with some embarrassment: "It's almost the end of the new year, and there are many trivial matters. I just talked with my uncle about the deployment of the southern border, so I delayed it for a while."
He is almost thirty, and he used to look a lot more stable than Xiang Huan. In recent years, he has become more restrained. On the contrary, he really has the aura of a court official, and he is out of tune with his peers.
"The guest room is ready, you have had a hard time traveling, sit down and have some tea first, if you need something, just ask." All the way into the front hall, the maids were changing the tea on the short tables on both sides of the hat chair, bowing back down.
When Wan Yao was raising her eyes, she saw Huai Sheng standing in the corner, and for a moment, she was really startled.
The girl was wearing a skirt with a cloak, and her slightly blue starry eyes were less emotional as always, bright and clean, resembling a picture of a court lady from the previous dynasty.
I'm used to seeing her in military uniform, but suddenly she was dressed like this, and there was a sense of strangeness in her face.
Wan Yao opened his mouth, not knowing how to exchange pleasantries for a moment.
The last time I saw Huaisheng was more than a year ago, and it was far away. I watched her pack her bags indifferently outside the barracks, and gave a military salute to the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
I heard from Xiang Huan that Huaisheng quit the army and Yuwen's family after the war ended, and traveled alone in the rivers and lakes. Maybe he wanted to find a place to hide from the world, or maybe he was just tired of the life of killing and wanted to find another way out. After that, there was no news for a whole year.
Until this year, the news that Yu Wenjun took her home suddenly came from the capital, which was no more shocking than a loud thunder on a sunny day. Working hard, he even conspired to think that Huaisheng's leaving back then probably had ulterior motives
She was speechless, but Huaisheng's face clearly showed a few traces of surprise and joy.
In Luoyang, where she was not familiar with, Wanyao was one of the few old acquaintances, and she was also a girl's family, so she was naturally kind.
Yu Wenjun smiled gently at her from afar.
"Knowing that you are coming, Huaisheng has been asking about the itinerary since a few days ago." He gestured for Xiang Huan and the others to sit down, and his tone was quite nostalgic, "I have been busy for a long time, and occasionally I always think of when we were in Songzhou, During those years in Chengdu, although I lived with my head in fear every day, I didn't have so much thoughtfulness, and instead lived a simple and wonderful life.
"Right now, the fighting has stopped, but I have been entangled in a bunch of chores all day long."
Xiang Huan took a sip of his tea, thinking that his words were old-fashioned: "It is not easy to fight? There will be opportunities in the future. The bandits in Nanyan, Beiman, and Southwest are still far away from the peaceful and prosperous age But I don't think you will be free. .¡±
Yu Wenjun smiled ambiguously.
While talking, a maid brought over cakes to satisfy his hunger. Seeing this, Huaisheng almost instinctively got up and walked forward, wanting to help. The maids couldn't let her do it, so they could only smile and avoid it.
"Hey¡ª¡ª" Yu Wenjun held her gently, "You don't have to worry about it, just leave these things to the servants."
The latter thought for a while, and was going to pour water for him again.
"I'll do it myself." Yu Wenjun held her hand and put it down. "You can rest for a while, there is no need to take care of me all the time."
Wan Yao cast a glance over there without any trace.
Huai Sheng was obviously not used to it yet, even though he sat back to his original position, his hands were resting uncomfortably on his lap, slightly cramped.
After all, it is the difference in identity.
She thought wistfully, this might not be something she could get used to in a day or two.
Wan Yao pushed the tea leaves aside with the lid, bowed her head and took a sip.
The marriage of the two of them has not yet been decided. Yu Wenjun wrote the paperwork and handed it over, but Ji Changchuan refused to give an accurate statement while practicing Tai Chi.
Both the uncle and the nephew are playing gamesholy place.
Wan Yao and Xiang Huan came for a walk after dinner, and they could see many lovers in pairs strolling along the river bank, with mixed voices from near and far, and a scholar who seemed to be toasting to the stars and drinking, which was very elegant.
"Qujiang Pond West Bridgeit should be right here." She looked around, "Has it arrived at three o'clock?"
"It was Xu time when I passed the bell tower just now, and I guess it's almost the same after walking for a while." Xiang Huan also looked curiously, full of doubts about the identity of the visitor. Pedestrians pass by from time to time, but they don't look like a girl writing a letter.
After waiting for a cup of tea, but she still didn't see the other party appearing, Wan Yao inevitably felt a little uneasy: "Could it be because she saw me here and it's not convenient for her to show up?"
She speculated, "Why don't I avoid it for a while?"
"No need." Xiang Huan looked away indifferently, "It's fine if she doesn't come, why is it so difficult to serve, let's go."
"Don't be so impatient"
Wan Yao originally wanted to tell him to wait a little longer, but the scholar who was drinking not far away came to this place, smiling and bowing to her friendly.
Wan Yao hurriedly bowed in return.
"Young master is there something wrong?"
The scholar held a closed folding fan and put it on his chest, with a handsome look: "I'm here for an appointment."
Wan Yao: "Appointment?"
"Exactly." He smiled slightly, but looked at Xiang Huan.
The latter glanced inexplicably, "What appointment?"
"Don't you remember, my lord?" The scholar unfolded his fan, and there was a fresh and elegant picture of white orchids on the fan, "Below is 'Deep Mountain with a Smile'."
I don't know if the orchid picture on his fan is too eye-catching, Wan Yao was stunned when he heard it for a while: "You are 'Smile from the Mountain'?!"
Xiang Huan still frowned inexplicably, when he saw him close the folding fan with a "snap", and spoke slowly and unsurprisingly: "It was fortunate that the prince helped me that day, and I am grateful to this day.
"Farewell to Chang'an Street, Xiaosheng thinks like crazy all day long, can't eat, and sleeps restlessly. Only by pinning one or two feelings on the letter paper can he comfort his soul." His tone was gentle, and his eyes became more and more affectionate, " It is rare that the prince is willing to condescend to honor his face tonight, I think he has understood the meaning in Xiaosheng's poem, 'I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated', I will die in this life without regret"
Wanyao almost saw the veins on Xiang Huan's forehead popping out clearly one by one, he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say?"
The latter is not afraid of death and seeks to be beaten: "'I only wish that your heart is like mine', my lord, Xiaosheng has admired you for a long time, and I only hope to know you well, and live a long life"
A strong wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground, Wan Yao had quick eyes and quick hands, and hugged Xiang Huan by the waist before he could punch him.
His gestures froze there, but his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth as if he was furious: "Do you dare to say it again, I can let you die right now without regret!"
Wan Yao stopped in front with difficulty, turned her head and said to the scholar: "You better go, he really can do it."
Unexpectedly, the other party was startled by his actions first, and then said pleasantly: "This expression is right! Xiaosheng just likes the way you hit someone!"
""
Wan Yao's legs went limp, and she almost couldn't hold him, even her voice trembled a little, "Xiang, Xiang Huan, calm downthere are too many people here, and you can't explain to His Majesty if the trouble gets too big.
"When I get back, I'll make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for you to eat? Add two sauced pig's trotters? Two pots of Xifeng"
The meridian in his fist almost exploded on the spot, and he stared for a long time with his canthus tearing apart, and finally stopped his momentum fiercely, and strode away.
"Hey, my lord"
Looking at his back, Wanyao heaved a sigh of relief, saluted and said goodbye to the disappointed scholar, and when she turned around, with a subtle smile on her lips, she trotted after him. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
