Chapter 4 Dream Interpretation
When Yu Xingshu heard that Xiao Qingning came to visit, he was both surprised and happy, and said with emotion: "Father is always afraid that you will be looked down upon because you have no mother to teach you, so I asked you to call the brothers and sisters of the Yu family a godmother. If you can recognize youGrandfather's house is fine, even if there is only one name..."
"I'm well educated." Yu Qiu wanted to repair the relationship between the two families, but it wasn't because of this.
"That is to say, how can a nanny be the same as a serious mistress. Speaking of which, Ge Qi has been sending nanny back to his hometown for several days, so it's time to come back."
Yu Qiu stopped talking.
Like the Yu family, Ge Qi... cannot be trusted either.Those who cannot be trusted should get rid of them as soon as possible.
He had to convince daddy to believe in him before he came back.
There is no rush for this matter, Yu Qiu has to wait until the poisoning of the fourth and sixth princes becomes a fact, and see if he still believes in himself!
Burying this matter in his heart, Yu Qiu began to think about how to mend the relationship with Xiao Taiwei. Yu Xingshu would definitely not be able to come forward, and she had to come. After all, the blood relationship is there, so be thick-skinned.If you fight badly, you don't believe that they are not soft-hearted.
Yu Qiu finally had something within his power, and fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow that night.
This sleep was good for the first half of the night, but then had a dream again.
Yu Qiu felt that she was dreaming, because she was in a military camp, a place she would never come into contact with.
The military tent is very large, in addition to a simple bed and a few pieces of clothes, there is a box of cage documents.Yu Qiu looked around for a week and found that it was men's clothes, so he hurriedly let go and walked outside.
Outside the screen is like a meeting place, behind the main seat hangs a large topographical map, and in the center is a sand table.
Yu Xingshu's contacts are all literati. Over the years, the only martial artist Yu Qiu has come into contact with is Ge Qi. How can he understand this.But you don't need to think about it to know that this must be the general's account.
Yu Qiu was terrified.
Everyone knows that there are no women in the army.
She walked out quickly, and when she was about to lift the curtain, she saw the silhouette of a guard outside, and hurriedly stopped.
In the end, only dared to lift a small slit to look out, and saw well-trained soldiers outside patrolling back and forth with spears and halberds. Looking from a distance, saw the withered grass forming waves outside the camp.The city among the vegetation is a little far away.
Yu Qiu was sweating coldly, and when he was afraid, the sound of horseshoes sounded.Several people came on horseback, the leader was wearing a silver battle armor, with his back facing the sun and straddling his horse high, his face was invisible, but his body was as tall and straight as a pine, like an indestructible blade.
The heavy hoofbeats made the ground almost tremble together.
With a neighing sound, the horse stopped outside the tent, General Yinjia got off his horse, tossed the reins, and strode towards the tent with meteors.
Yu Qiu's breath was stagnant, and he stumbled and hid behind the screen.
She recognized it, isn't it the duplicity Mr. Xiangxiang!
"Dismember the body before the battle." The familiar voice said, but there was no long smile in it, only an undisguised indifference.
Yu Qiu didn't know anything, but these four words were enough to make her feel terrified.
"Slaying the enemy generals in front of the battle can indeed boost morale, but this method... passing it back to the capital may hinder His Highness's reputation..."
"It's fine if you don't pass it back."
"But General Gongyi..."
"You want to be together?"
There was a dead silence in the tent, and after a while, another loud voice sounded, "This son of a bitch is quite capable, and he can stay for two days, much better than his father."
Yun Heng laughed, "Send a message to him, and let him guard it. If Gu is captured, Gu will slaughter the city."
This person was far less thoughtful than the one just now, and immediately responded loudly: "This subordinate takes orders!"
Hearing these few words, Yu Qiu broke out in cold sweat, how could he have such a dream?Yun Heng is not so gentle on the surface, but he will not do such an outrageous thing...
Her mind was messed up, her legs were a little weak, she pinched the inside of her wrist and wanted to wake up quickly, but she was so painful that she was tearful, and she was still standing behind the screen.
It's just this distraction, don't know when there is no sound outside, and don't know whether people have left or what.
Just as he was hesitating whether to poke his head in and take a look, or to hide quietly in the cage, before he could figure out a way, the screen in front of him broke open with a "bang".
A palm directly pierced the screen and hit her neck precisely.
Goosebumps exploded all over Yu Qiu's body, he instinctively raised his eyes, and looked into a pair of eyes full of tyranny in horror through the hole in the cracked screen.
The two were separated only by a screen.
Yu Qiu opened his eyes abruptly, panting rapidly while clutching his sweaty neck.
At this time, the night was deep, and the wind passed through the peach blossom branches outside the window, heading towards the East Palace with jade and carved railings.
A candle was dimly lit.
The door opened, and the guard appeared, "What is your Highness' order?"
The person standing in cloaked eyes glanced at the gray sky, and asked after a while, "Have you sent back the things from the Ministry of Rites?"
"It has been sent back, and no one has been alarmed."
"En." Yun Heng said, and closed the door.
The guard felt strange, did His Highness wake up in the middle of the night just for such a trivial matter?
He looked up when the door was about to close, and saw Yun Heng lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on his right hand.
The bone of that finger is as clear as cold jade, and the five fingers are clasped like eagle claws. Through the candlelight, one can clearly see the bulging veins on the back of the hand and the stretched muscle lines of the forearm under the clothes.
After having two consecutive nightmares, both of which were related to the prince, Yu Qiu looked sleepy and couldn't lift his spirits.
Yu Xingshu heard that it was another nightmare, and urged her to go out to relax.
Yu Qiu was listless and unwilling to move, and asked before he was on duty: "Is there any war in our country?"
Yu Xingshu didn't even think about it, and replied: "No, the surrounding countries have traded with us and paid tribute to the imperial court every year. Your set of red agate jewelry was bought from a foreign merchant a few years ago. Since the first emperor pacifiedThe war has only passed for more than ten years, and the world is stable, and there will be no war."
Seeing Yu Qiu's face wrinkled, Yu Xingshu said again: "Why don't you go out with Manxiu for a walk? Buy some rouge jewelry and be happy."
Yu Qiu shook his head, "I dreamed about a war."
Yu Xingshu was anxious to get on duty, and simply said in relief, "Don't worry, you won't be able to fight in the next few decades."
"How are you sure?" Yu Qiu asked.
She shouldn't be talking about important matters in the court, Yu Xingshu didn't continue to answer, Yu Qiu took his arm and begged: "Tell me, Dad, Dad, tell me, or I won't be able to sleep."
Yu Xingshu had no choice but to stop, and said in a low voice: "The year before last, a small country in the north had a conflict with us. General Gongyi put on his armor and asked for an order to send troops, but His Majesty refused... Your Majesty does not like war, and will not fight during his reign.Even if there is an accident, the crown prince will succeed. The crown prince..."
Yu Qiu unconsciously grasped his sleeves tightly, her eyes fixed on him.
"The prince learns to be kind to neighbors, he is a firm advocate of peace, and he will not start a war."
Yu Qiu bit her lip and said vaguely, "That's not necessarily true, just in case..."
"What's in case? If you're not feeling well, just stay at home and rest. It's said in the medical book that you can always be happy when you are content, and you can't..."
Yu Xingshu was pushed out of the mansion by his daughter. He always felt that his daughter had a lot of worries recently. Her usual bright smile was gone, and instead she was often distressed, but it didn't seem like she was troubled by the matter of the third prince.
While dealing with official duties, I was thinking that hiding things in my heart is not the way to keep in good health. After I am off duty, I will buy her some beautiful jewelry to coax her. Just as I was thinking, I heard the human voice: "The prince is here."
This day, the minister was not here, so Yu Xingshu led the Ministry of Revenue to welcome the prince.
"Master Yu, please get up." Yu Xingshu was lifted up, and seeing the handsome young man in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh again for the outstanding face of the royal family.
The crown prince, Yunheng, was more than eight feet tall, wearing a white jade crown, wearing a silver-gray brocade robe, with a white jade belt around his thin waist, and a golden jade ring pendant.
There is a refreshing light fragrance floating around her body, noble and easy-going, handsome, but also elegant and bookish.
Yu Xingshu recalled the conversation he had with his daughter before leaving the mansion, and thought how could the prince start a war?Little girls are easily frightened by nightmares.
"Ministers, although you are busy, just take a look around." Yun Heng moved his eyes to scan the crowd in front of him, with a gentle smile on his lips.
"yes."
He really just browsed casually, stopped for half an hour and left.
After the person left, everyone from the Ministry of Revenue started talking about it, and it was nothing more than praise. Yu Xingshu was never a maverick in this kind of thing, so he followed up with a few words of praise.
Someone asked: "What document is the prince looking through?"
"It's a reward from neighboring small countries in recent years."
"What are you looking at?"
Everyone doesn't understand.
While the carriage slowly drove away from the Ministry of Revenue official office, Yun Heng rested his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes slightly, and lit the light on the low table with the other hand regularly, and the accompanying staff asked in a low voice: "Does the prince have something on his mind?"
Yun Heng opened his eyes, and an incomprehensible arc flashed in his dark eyes, and said, "Mr. Zuo also read the documents from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue, what do you think?"
Zuo Lingyi's eyes flickered, and it took a long time before he said softly: "The neighbors bow their heads and pay tribute, and I will reward you, showing the demeanor of a great country."
The warm wind blows in, and the corner of the curtain is lifted, and the noisy hawking sound enters the compartment.
Yun Heng moved his eyes to the window of the carriage, and saw people outside in an endless stream, and flags were flying high in front of the restaurant with cornices and corners.
Zuo Lingyi followed him, remained silent for a moment, and said in a very soft voice, "It is said that it is a reward, but for neighbors like the Jia clan, the gold and silver given by the imperial court far exceed the jewels brought in as a tribute.Desire. In recent years, the border has been plundered repeatedly, if..."
Yun Heng suddenly shouted loudly to stop.
Zuo Lingyi's words stopped together with the carriage, following Yun Heng's line of sight, there was a simple stall on the side of the road.
In addition to brushes and ink and rice paper pressed by a paperweight, there are also a tube of bamboo sticks, a few pieces of turtle shells, and a string of copper plates on the stall.The stall owner wore a square scarf on his head, and his eyes rolled back and forth. When he saw Yun Heng getting off the carriage, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly sat up.
Zuo Lingyi looked at Yun Heng sitting in front of the booth, turned to the sign that said "Fortune-telling for eliminating disasters, explaining dreams and eliminating misfortune", and asked, "When did Your Highness believe in these things?"
The guard Ping Jiang didn't look sideways, and stepped forward to stand behind Yun Heng.
"Sir, can you interpret dreams?"
The stall owner stroked his beard, raised his chin pretending to be mysterious and said: "Dragon flies in the stream, white tiger leaps over the cliff, the Buddha looks down at the world, and a day of mayfly is a hundred years. If you believe it, the old man will be able to relieve your worries, if you don't believe it, justTake it as an old man's nonsense."
Yun Heng laughed, "I believe it."
"Sir, please tell me."
Yun Heng rubbed his fingertips with his right hand, narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I have often dreamed recently, and the... impulse that should be hidden in my heart has been repeatedly peeped by one person."
"Is it male or female?"
"It's a woman."
The stall owner squinted and smiled, and asked Yun Heng to write an inscription.
The faded old red lacquered wolf hair was lifted by the jade finger bone, as if stained with fairy spirit, flying between the phoenix and the phoenix, leaving a word on the rice paper.
The stall owner sat indifferently, waiting for Yun Heng to write the pen before he picked up the paper and saw that there was a word "cloud" on the rice paper that penetrated the back of the paper.
The unfathomable expression burst instantly, and the stall owner suddenly folded the rice paper, looked around nervously, then turned back, and said angrily, "What do you mean!"
Is the emperor's surname something common people can fool around with?Yun Heng dared to write this word, but he didn't dare to explain it, he was so shocked that he forgot to chew on the words.
"Dream interpretation." Yun Heng said.
He sits in a casual posture, has a relaxed expression, and always speaks with a faint smile, but the stall owner somehow feels that this person is very difficult to deal with.
Covertly looking at the word "cloud", the stall owner said perfunctorily: "I found out, the son was born in a noble family, he is a descendant of a famous family, the reason why I dreamed of a woman repeatedly is because..."
He paused for a moment, and said indiscriminately: "Because young master Hongluan is moving, day and night dreams, it's hard to control himself, it's normal, young master, go back and prepare for the marriage."
Yun Heng laughed again, Zuo Lingyi, who was on the sidelines, shook his head silently, stepped forward and left a coin, took back the word Yun Heng left behind, and asked the person away from the fortune-telling booth.
"Your Highness is unhappy today?"
Yun Heng didn't answer, but brushed off his cuffs, and asked, "How are the third and fourth brothers?"
The guard Ping Jiang said: "The third prince was entangled by the fifth prince, and the fourth prince came back this morning after going out for wild hunting. He invited the sixth prince to have a drink together."
"The two of them are very interested." The corners of Yun Heng's mouth slowly curled up, "Go and have a look."
This time Zuo Lingyi didn't follow, watched the carriage drive towards the fourth prince's mansion, shook his head and said: "It seems that it is not ordinary displeasure."
The two princes are afraid that they will be unlucky.
