Chapter 66:
These days, people in Lijing City talk about Liu Laishun's case.
Because this case involves Su Wanxiang, the daughter of Prime Minister Su, in the past two years, Su Wanxiang has become a favorite among the ladies of Lijing City because of the Snow Festival. Isn’t it a big deal that someone wants to do something wrong with her? What's more, no one in Lijing City knows that Su Wanxiang is now the sweetheart of two important figures. Therefore, people are closely watching the progress of this case.
In this situation, on this day, a train of carriages from a long distance drove in from the south gate of Lijing City.
At first, people didn't notice this team of horses and horses. Later, when officials from the Ministry of Ritual came to greet them personally, they realized that this was the messenger from Yunshao Country.
On the Yuncang Continent, there are five larger countries, namely Yuguo, Yeguo, Panguo, Daaiguo and Yunshao Country, and countless other small countries.
In ancient times, the Yuncang Continent was a vast world spanning east and west oceans, with a name that was submerged in vast history. Later, it is said that people in ancient times broke out countless wars because of their own selfish desires, destroying the essence of heaven and earth, so the gods were furious and plunged the entire Yuncang continent into the vast ocean.
Later, a phoenix flew from Yingzhou on the sea. In order to save the world, it burned itself and turned into this continent. Therefore, the shape of Yuncang Continent is like a phoenix flying with wings spread out.
Dayu Country and Ye Country are respectively located on the wings of the Phoenix, Panguo is on the body of the Phoenix, the Big Snow Country is located at the tail of the Phoenix, which is the country with the largest area, and Yunshao Country, which is located in the southernmost part, is just at the head of the Phoenix. unit.
For the people of Dayu Country, Yunshao Country is a mysterious country.
Witchcraft is popular in Yunshao Country, and their emperor is a queen. It is said that the queen has three princesses. This time, the envoy of Yunshao Country came to marry Yuguo. People suddenly had one more talk after dinner, which is how the Third Princess of Yunshao Country was born, and which one of the royal family would she marry.
At noon that day, Qin Jiu went to the Hanlin Academy to drag the durian out after finishing his official business at Sizhifang, and went to see the excitement on Tianmen Street.
At the same time that the team of horses and carriages from Yunshao Country came over, there was a commotion in front, and the crowds on the street were separated. A team of courtesy guards with guns cleared the way, and then the courtesy guards rode past. Behind it was a carriage.
The style of this carriage is different from that of Dayu Country. Dayu's carriage is more practical, even if it is a royal carriage, although it is gorgeous and exquisite, at least it looks stable and strong. And this carriage is exquisite and gorgeous to make people feel very fragile.
A pair of vermilion wheels, on the hub, is actually inlaid with a string of silver rattles. When the wheels rolled, they made a clear and sweet sound. The carriage is a fragrant curtain, rich and luxurious. However, the carriage actually drove very fast. don't know whether the horses pulling the carriage are strong, or the carriage itself is controlled by a mechanism.
When the low-hanging curtain was occasionally rolled up by the wind, people could vaguely see the majestic figure sitting inside.
Qin Jiu and Durian stood in front of the crowd, especially durian, and they stretched their necks to watch in the carriage. He heard that Yunshao Country is so beautiful, and this Third Princess must be more beautiful. The teenager is very curious about what the beauty of Yunshao Country looks like.
Qin Jiu glanced at the durian sideways and asked, "Lian'er, is it beautiful?"
Durian smiled and said, "I can't see it at all."
Qin Jiu's phoenix eyes wandered, pointing to a girl who was following the carriage, and asked: "I'm not asking the person in your car, I'm asking you the little girl riding a horse."
Durian followed Qin Jiu's gaze and saw the girl riding a horse.
The young girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, riding on a claret pony, dancing on the side of a scarlet carriage.
The burgundy pony was short, but a pony tail was very long, and it was braided and dragged to the ground. The girl on the horse is very beautiful. Durian has never thought that there will be such a clear and jade girl in this world. Her skin is crystal clear as if she has applied rouge, but after applying rouge, there is no such soft and natural redness. The girl's eyebrows are fresh and picturesque, her temperament is fresh and noble, she has a pair of bright eyes looking forward to flying, revealing a hint of cunning.
The girl's clothes are very simple, obviously the clothes of a maid, but such plain clothes can't conceal her beauty. There are many braids on her head, and each braid is tied with a different hair rope. When she rode her horse, one of the braids was mischievously tilted up at the sideburns, shaking and shaking.
Durian glanced at the girl, and whispered: "It's pretty. The maidservant is so pretty. I wonder how the princess in that car will be beautiful?"
Qin Jiu stroked the yellow-haired feathers, glanced at the durian with a smile, and said, "What do you care about the appearance of the princess? You have no chance. This maid, it is possible."
Durian was startled, and said softly: "I just want to take a look, but I don't want to marry her. Even the maid, I don't want to marry either."
"Oh?" Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled inexplicably. "Such a beautiful girl, but you rarely meet him. Don't you like this beautiful girl?"
Durian watched the team approaching gradually and smiled: "There are so many beautiful girls, can I like them all? Besides, if I like them, what can I do? Can Jiuye really let her marry me?" Qin Jiu teased him when he was free, expressing dissatisfaction, so he replied.
Qin Jiu squinted her eyes, her eyes shining brightly, all the charms turned into cunning at this moment, she hooked her lips, and said: "Who said you can't, if you really like it, I will naturally think that she belongs you!"
Durian sweats coldly. He heard Qin Jiu say that he wanted to let this girl belong to him. For some reason, the guards she brought to the hot spring were in my mind. He felt that the way she could think of was nothing more than the overlord's bow. Originally, Durian wanted to refute a few more words, but I was afraid that Qin Jiu would really go to match him with this girl when he became angry. So he said wittily: "Thank you Jiuye, I really don't need it, I don't want to marry a wife yet."
The two were talking, the train and horse team had arrived not far in front of them, and the girl riding a horse happened to pass by Qin Jiu and Durian.
Seeing this, Qin Jiu glanced at the loquat beside him, and nodded calmly. Loquat immediately understood, turned around and got into the crowd.
After a while, the little horse was carrying the girl and walked not far in front of the durian. At this time, the little red horse didn't know what was going on. It was probably because there were too many people on the road, and she was shocked. Suddenly stopping and getting up, the girl immediately caught off guard and was thrown off her horse.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly and pushed towards the back of the durian, and the durian rushed forward two steps, just stabilizing his steps, and happened to hold the girl in his arms.
"Aunt... girl, are you okay?" Durian was holding Nephrite Wenxiang in his arms at this moment, and she was really scared. But he didn't want to lose face in front of the girl, so he stammered and asked.
The girl nestled in his arms motionless, her black and white eyes looked at him drippingly, her long eyelashes blinking and blinking.
At the moment the girl fell off the horse, someone in the carriage screamed in exclamation, and the curtain of the carriage was quickly opened, and a clear voice whispered coldly: "Who are you, put her down quickly."
Durian was taken aback. Unexpectedly, the princess in the carriage was so powerful, and he hurriedly put the girl down.
"Ling'er, why are you so careless? Come on the carriage!" The voice then softened and greeted the girl to get on the carriage.
The maid Ling'er tilted her head to look at the durian and smiled at him.
Durian smiled back embarrassedly, but her maid Ling'er suddenly walked to Durian in two steps, raised her hand and slapped Durian's face, and said softly, "Who asked you to hold this...this girl."
After Linger finished speaking, regardless of the little red horse, she raised the curtain and got into the carriage.
When the yellow-haired saw the durian being beaten, she flew up from Qin Jiu's shoulder and wanted to peck the girl. Although it often bullies durians, but seeing others bullying, it seems that their own things have been robbed by others, and they are unwilling.
Qin Jiu grabbed its tail and pulled it back, "The little girl is playing with A smelly!"
Durian touched his face, but it didn't hurt at all.
Are the maids of Yunshao country so savage? It's not that he wants to hug her! This Yun Shao country is really unreasonable!
Vermillion's carriage stopped for a while, and then continued to rush forward.
The curtains of the carriage opened, and the girl Linger poked her head out and smiled charmingly at the durian.
Qin Jiu looked at the embarrassment on Durian's face and couldn't help but smile: "Lian'er, you are so true, why did you rush out? I was going to pull you, but I didn't hold it."
Durian said irritably, "Are you trying to pull me or push me!" He felt that someone had just pushed him, who else could it be.
Qin Jiu covered his lips and smiled, "I think that Ling'er still likes you."
Durian frowned and said, "Is there anyone who likes people like this?"
"It's love or cursing! Well, in order to comfort your wounds, we will have dinner at Linglong Pavilion today."
"Really?" Durian's eyes lit up. He remembered Linglong Pavilion's food very much.
888888888888
At this time it was time for lunch, and the hall on the first floor was full of people.
Seeing Qin Jiu's arrival, Du Yue, the manager of Linglong Pavilion, hurriedly ordered waiter to the tea room on the third floor.
Nowadays, tea is popular, and a new tea room has been opened on the third floor of Linglong Pavilion. The layout is quiet and elegant. Close the windows and doors, and you can't hear the noise outside. You can taste tea, audible music, play games, stove net, black and white chess pieces, which are quite elegant and romantic.
This is what Qin Jiu remembered after Yan Yu liked to make tea, so he ordered Mu Yufei to add it. Unexpectedly, it was very popular and sought after by literati in the capital. Especially for the newly recruited scholars this year, when nothing happens, they will make appointments with new knowledge to come and talk.
Qin Jiu and Durian were led by waiter to the elegant room, sat in front of the case, and said to waiter: "Invite your tea slave who makes the best tea here."
waiter heard this, a little embarrassed.
Although Qin Jiu is the boss of Linglong Pavilion, no one knows except Mu Yufei.
waiter hesitated for a while, then smiled and said, "Do you want Ayu? To tell you, he is now serving in the Lingfeng Pavilion. Why, I recommend one for you, the craftsmanship is also excellent."
Qin Jiu actually didn't know that the best tea slave was called Ayu. Since Xiaoer said he has the best craftsmanship, he might as well wait a while. In fact, Qin Jiu just wanted to see if there is any difference between this tea slave making tea and Yan Yu.
Qin Jiu smiled and said, "If this is the case, there is no need, then we will wait, Lian'er, you are also hungry, why don't we eat first."
Durian is here to eat, not to drink. Although the tea is delicious, it can't be eaten with rice. He naturally agreed.
At the moment, a few people eat first. When the meal ran out, the tea slaves from Lingfeng Pavilion hadn't come yet.
Qin Jiu frowned, but it was her. If it is a grumpy customer, you might be in a hurry. You have to talk to Mu Yufei and cultivate more good tea slaves. Thinking of this, I saw the yellow-haired who had just flew out to play by himself, flying in from the window, and said to Qin Jiu: "Beauty is in the Lingfeng Pavilion."
"Beauty?" Durian was taken aback, "Yellow-haired who are you talking about?"
The yellow-haired seemed to not even know this about durian, and was very contemptuous. She glared at him and ignored him. Walked to Qin Jiu and rubbed her shoulder, "Let’s find a beauty!"
Durian sweats coldly, thinking, yellow-haired won't be a handsome teenager, so let's tie Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu shook the flower bandage in his hand and chuckled, "Yellow-haired is talking about King Yan? Right? Are you thinking about the beauty or the beauty cat?"
The allusion about Yan Yu being a beauty was said that night when she was yellow-haired drunk in Wuyouju. Durian was not there at the time, so was puzzled by the two people making fun of Hades.
"Also, since the best tea slave is with Mei Ren'er, then we will go to him, and there is something to tell him." Qin Jiu stood up, and the yellow-haired stood firmly on Qin Jiu's shoulders , The two took the lead out of the house.
The yellow-haired flew ahead to lead the way, and when he reached the Lingfeng Pavilion, he knocked on the door with his mouth. Immediately after the door opened, Zhaojun, Yan Yu's maid, came over and opened the door. When she saw Qin Jiu, her brows frowned.
Qin Jiu smiled disapprovingly, and went straight into the room.
There is a coffee table near the window in the Lingfeng Pavilion.
A tea slave was sitting on one side and was making tea. Diao Chan, Yu Huan and Xi Shi stood by Yan Yu on one side, and several strange maids and servants also stood on the side.
There were two people sitting on either side of the coffee table, one was Yan Yu, and the other was Su Wanxiang.
Qin Jiu couldn't help sighing in his heart. Speaking of which, Su Wanxiang was indeed a strange woman.
If it was an ordinary woman who encountered something like Liu Laishun, even if she was not really hurt, she would not recover so quickly in the face of the speculation of the entire Lijing City people. But she was so generous that she came to Linglong Pavilion to drink tea, and she really wanted to go. In fact, doing so is also a good way to eliminate rumors.
