Chapter 285 Morning Mist

Chapter 285 Morning Mist

It was foggy in the early morning, and it shrouded the inside and outside of the ancient city of Hangzhou. The walls of the waterway and the city were shadowy. On the plains, you couldn’t see clearly from three or two feet away. Occasionally, there were carriages passing by at a slow speed. It appeared in the field of vision like a wild beast, and after a while, it got into the whiteness on the other side of the field of vision and disappeared.

After opening his eyes, the fog that could be seen temporarily calmed down the chill that had come from last night, and divided the solemn and dignified atmosphere in the city into small areas that were only within sight.Soldiers were added on the city wall, but the surrounding area was confused and the morning dew was heavy. Soldiers in twos and threes just set up braziers and sat around chatting about last night's turmoil and their family's turmoil. Occasionally, generals passed by before they stood up again.

Among the overlapping courtyards in the city, the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking has not yet sounded.People who got up early did not go out in a hurry, lit the fire, lit the lamps, and waited for the change of the situation at home.All the movements and whispers were submerged in the billowing mist after a while.

In the small courtyard behind Wenlie Academy on Xiliu Street, the yellowish lights were already on, the door of the bedroom was opened, and the girl who had just gotten up and was not neatly dressed stepped out of the threshold.Looking back, the young scholar with a bandage on his head rubbed his eyes and wanted to follow. The scholar had a mature and stable temperament, but he was not too old after all. Go, pouted and said something, then pushed and pushed and pushed the scholar to go back to sleep.

The warm yellow light and shadow swayed slightly, and the two of them stood in a stalemate at the door for a moment. The girl who was originally a maidservant, but also a concubine at this time, danced her hands and feet, confident and confident, but her expression was quite aggrieved.The scholar made a few gestures, expressing that he was in good health, but the reason seemed not accepted by the other party.After a while, the scholar reluctantly grabbed the girl's clothes and pulled her back into the room. The girl was slightly stunned, but her arrogance suddenly subsided, and she shrank her neck: "Ah..."

The door was closed.

"Uncle, Uncle... the sky, the sky is about to dawn... um..."

No matter how strong the occasional aura is, a lamb is still a lamb after all.It is difficult to describe in detail the experience of the little sheep that fell into the hands of the big bad wolf, and the clothes probably have to be worn again.During this process, our vision left the courtyard below.The mist covered again and again.In the distance where Hei Lingwei is now located in the official office, a young man named An Xifu is sitting at the table reading the summed up documents. He doesn't know if he has been busy all night or just got up. He reached out to pick up the wick of the oil lamp when names like Ning Liheng and Ning Liheng came into view. After a while, he put the proclamation aside again.

In another courtyard in the city, after exercising, Chen Fan was shirtless and poured a bucket of cold well water on his body. The heat rose from his skin, and he let out a long breath.As the unemployed vagrant in Ning Yi's mouth, apart from exercising and visiting every day, there is actually not much to do. He is still paying close attention to the children of Wenlie Academy recently.Not long after, I went out with a burrito in my mouth. When I passed the door of the next courtyard, I saw the door of this family’s courtyard wide open in the mist. The people inside seemed to be anxiously busy with something, vaguely remembering midnight At that time, someone from their family seemed to come to ask, probably because they lost their family members last night.The law and order in Hangzhou is not peaceful, he rolled his eyes, this is An Xifu's business, it has nothing to do with him.

The field of vision returned to the city wall to the north, the blood rose in the white mist, and the light of the knife slashed the neck of the soldier. Next to it, the spear flew through the air after bringing out a large pile of blood, and disappeared outside the city wall in a blink of an eye. traced.

The figures appeared suddenly, as fast as migratory locusts crossing the border. During the sprint, each of them drew their swords and guns. The soldiers in front were killed before they could even make a sound.The speed of the rushing figure did not change after the knife was thrown out. It was only when the figures intersected that they hugged the corpse of the soldier whose neck had been cut off, and slowly leaned the corpse against the female wall. The companions next to him tied and threw the rope. quickly landed out of the city.

On the city side, in the temporary palace of the Yongle Dynasty, the court meeting has been going on for a while.In fact, after the establishment of the Yongle Dynasty, the court meeting was not held frequently. The rebel army was not so particular, and the various leaders could meet and hold meetings at any time. However, because of the rebellion last night, the court meeting this morning was obviously necessary of.After Qi Yuankang's death, how to fill in the gaps and how to divide the benefits have already been decided, but there are still many things that need to be discussed and determined.The not-too-long political discussion had come to an end at this time. After retiring from the court, Fang La left a few senior officials to have breakfast, and Empress Shao Xianying also came out to accompany her. This was equivalent to a family banquet.

"The situation in the world came from my generation. Once I entered the rivers and lakes, the years reminded me... I... I heard that when I took Qi Yuankang last night, this was a poem written by Qianqian? It's really a good poem..."

It has been a while since he ascended the throne, but Fang La is not used to calling himself "I" when facing some old brothers. At this moment, when he talks about the song "Swordsman", there is a bit of surprise in his smile.Empress Shao smiled and said: "I also find it strange to hear that, this child is the most skilled at wielding knives and guns. I never expected to come up with such poems. I know that she admires talented people... ...Two prime ministers, you are well-learned people and you are familiar with Sissi, do you think she wrote this poem?"

Among the few people present, Lou Minzhong's ancestors are all well-educated people. After a moment of pondering, Lou Minzhong said: "The way of poetry is profound and profound. It is really difficult to know who is doing it or who is not doing it. But Qianqian usually seems to be messing around , is actually a person of great wisdom, I don't think she will cheat on this matter."

Shao Xianying is not a literati, and he only regards Liu Xigua as a junior, so he can ask questions casually, but Lou Minzhong is a mature and prudent person, and literati also attach great importance to this aspect. It's hard to mix.Although Liu Xigua was not in this business, he only gave an ambiguous answer at this time, but Zu Shiyuan, who was on the side, laughed after he finished speaking.

"The great wisdom Lou Xiang said, I think it is true. To be honest, the poems are actually simple and upright, not too allusive, and there are not too many obscure words and sentences, but the grandeur in them is quite amazing. If it is not a heroic and unruly person, I am afraid I can’t do it. To be honest, I think this poem is in line with the style of our girl Da Biao. Although Badaoying has recruited a few well-educated people, but because of their well-educated, I’m afraid this kind of poem is written If it doesn’t come out, it’s unlikely to be ghostwritten by someone…”

After the patriarch finished speaking, others talked about it, and a man sitting a little further away frowned: "However, in this grand plan and hegemony talk...is it a bit out of line..." The man's name is Gao Yu, the official servant, is quite capable, but even though he was left behind at this time, his qualifications are not considered strong among this group of people.When he spoke, Fang La waved his hand over there.

"Haha, what's the matter, Hongtu Baye is talking and joking, what Badaoying has done all these years, isn't it Hongtu Baye? Oh, Xianying, looking back at the beginning, the little girl was quite ambitious, and she wanted to be the empress. I have allowed her. Although her surname is not Fang, I treat her like a daughter-in-law. In the future, she must be allowed to live in one city and one place. Gao Qing’s family, don’t let her hear your words, or she will hunt you down with a knife , I can't keep it..."

Gao Yu is obsequious.Although the queen next to her, Shao Xianying, smiled, she frowned and said softly, "If this poem is really written by Little Watermelon, it sounds... Isn't it a bit decadent? In the grand scheme of things, talking and laughing, I can't bear to be drunk, The world is like tides and people are like water..."

Fang La was stunned for a moment: "After so many years, probably... this child feels a little tired..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but think of all the incidents along the way, from Liu Dabiao's death, to Qi Yuankang's rebellion last night, all kinds of people he had seen around him and died.The girl named Xigua naturally watched all this pass, and then grew up slowly.It's just that when a man thinks about some things, his state of mind is naturally different from that of a woman.A few people in the hall who were familiar with Liu Xigua thought about it, but all sighed: "Qiqian has also grown up."

Afterwards, Zu Shiyuan said: "Speaking of which, our girl from the Liu family must have passed the age of marriage." When he said this, he looked at Lou Minzhong beside him.

Fang La also sighed: "There are always wars, fighting back and forth, and it's delayed... I haven't seen any suitable people."

Shao Xianying said: "I haven't seen any suitable people, but this child has a high spirit, and I haven't seen anyone I like... Speaking of which, those of us who are elders don't care too much. Da Biao is about to die. At the time, entrust the child to us...husband, you think...doesn't it be time to find someone for the child?"

Shao Xianying herself is a hero of the female school. She was in charge of military affairs with Fang Baihua at the beginning. Although she became a queen at this time, Fang La still called her by her original name. In her opinion, a girl who is nearly [-] years old is too tired to talk about it. Naturally, it was because she was so old, but she didn't have her husband's family yet.Fang La nodded: "However, who should I look for? Over the years, have you ever seen her lie to some man, especially for this kind of thing, if we find one, he will chop him with a knife, How to say it if it gets out.”

He still remembers the time when Lou Jingzhi was almost hacked to death.It's not that it's so great to hack a few people, but a girl's family still needs her reputation. If she really hacked a man on a blind date, how can she find her husband's family in the future.Speaking of the second half, Fang La couldn't help lowering her voice.Shao Xianying whispered, "How is Chen Fan?"

"It's not right for two people to fight when they meet each other. You say they are lovers. If they are married and fight all day long, who can stand it..."

Just as he was talking, Zu Shiyuan over there interrupted with a smile: "How is Mr. Lou?"

"Who?"

"Which Mr. Lou?"

"Master Lou's eldest son."

It's not a very formal occasion, and Lou Minzhong and Zu Shiyuan's friendship is not bad, so Lou Minzhong just sighed and glanced at him: "Zu Xiang, although the Lou family and the Liu family are family friends, I also prefer Qianqian as my daughter-in-law." , but it's not like you don't know about the fact that the dog was almost hacked to death, so why make a joke again..."

"This is not a joke." Zu Shiyuan laughed, "The two of us didn't have a deep relationship at the beginning, and Sissy has that kind of temper. It would be quite embarrassing if something happened, but after these years of contact, maybe Is there a turning point? I heard that Sissy was attacked last night, and Jingzhi was there at the time, so she helped..."

Lou Minzhong frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

"Could it be that Jingzhi didn't elaborate when he went back?"

Regarding the assassination of Liu Dabiao by the three brothers of the Qi family the night before, the information reported everywhere was actually somewhat vague, but the main meaning came out.Liu Dabiao and Lou Jingzhi worked together side by side, fighting with the assassins led by Qi Xinyong Qi Xinyi Qi Xinhan of the Qi family. It was also explained during this period that the matter was deliberately arranged by Liu Dabiao.Regardless of the situation, Ning Liheng was naturally omitted.

Lou Minzhong knew about his son's assassination last night, but the source of the news was different. Lou Jingzhi went home feeling ashamed, and of course never mentioned Liu Xigua.Lou Minzhong had a lot of things to deal with, and he was relieved to know that his son was fine, so he ignored it for the time being.But Patriarch Yuan saw it this morning, and had a reverie in his mind, whether the hero saves the beauty, or the beauty saves the hero, and the private meeting on the long street fights side by side. Of course there is something going on between young children.He intended to be a good fate, so he said it at this time, which shocked Lou Minzhong. After all, he is quite fond of this girl who has supported the battalion camp with one hand. If there is hope for his son, of course he is also happy to see it It's done.

Lou Minzhong's attitude was ambiguous, Zu Shiyuan laughed happily, and everyone began to gossip, and when Zu Shiyuan added details about the situation last night and his own speculation, everyone suddenly felt that there was something interesting, and you can talk about this matter. A word of discussion began.

After all, the children are grown up, and they really have to consider getting married, don't they...
