Riding the Pheonix Chapter 471: Drink
Yang Shu learned the news a few days later.
There were too many things to do when I first came back. After being knighted, all kinds of red tape were unavoidable.
The most important thing is to move.
Awan yelled that she would not take anyone with her, but it was actually impossible. Just talking about the generals around Yang Shu, their parents, wives and children are all in the Hou Mansion, so how can they ignore them.
Coupled with the manpower of the second room, even though he is no longer a Yang family member, he is still close to him in his heart, and the Hou Mansion may not be willing to stay.
After being busy for more than half a month, I finally settled down.
Then there is Anju Wine.
It was heartbreaking to say that many people came to give gifts to him when he moved, but not many people drank wine. Most of them were playboys who had hung out with him in the early years. There were even some tricksters who wanted to renew their old relationship and specially sent fans and the like. Yang Shu's face turned green when he saw it.
What the hell, he is a prince now and this is all he accepts as gifts? Quickly ask Ah Wan to take care of it.
But the palace gave me a lot of things, so I went to the palace the next day to express my gratitude.
The emperor did not see him. He only asked his chamberlain to come out and deliver the message, and then asked him to see Concubine Pei.
Both mother and son knew that the whole meeting was in the eyes of others, so they were very restrained. They were surprised when they should be surprised, and intimate when they should be intimate.
Yang Shu looked at Concubine Pei carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her face was rosy and she was in good spirits.
Before he left Beijing, Concubine Pei had just had a miscarriage, and she was afraid that she would not take good care of her as she got older, which would ruin her foundation.
Hearing that the emperor had not seen him, Concubine Pei first explained the emperor's life experience in front of the palace people.
"...Later, I came to Xuanshi to calculate your fate. He said that you were destined to commit an evil act and needed noble people to suppress it. Your great-aunt fought on the battlefield in her early years and was both noble and evil, so she asked you to stand against your cousin. Let’s talk about raising you in your name. Over the years, His Majesty has worried a lot about you. He asked you to go to the northwest just to get rid of your squeamishness. I heard that you went to Baimen Gorge, but it frightened my aunt..."
Don’t think carefully about these words. For example, noble people, who is more noble than the emperor? However, the mother and son were just acting, and no one paid any attention to it.
After saying "business", Concubine Pei looked at him with soft eyes: "Before, if you didn't want to get married, it was up to you. Now that you have returned to the clan, and at such an age, it is unreasonable not to get married."
"Aunt..."
As soon as Yang Shu started, Concubine Pei patted his arm: "Auntie knows what you are thinking, but this matter is not easy to arrange. Although Miss Ming has broken off the engagement,... …”
Seeing his surprised look, Concubine Pei wondered: "Why, you don't know?"
Yang Shu replied: "I've been busy lately and haven't gone out."
Concubine Pei was pleased with his obedience and explained: "Yesterday, the Imperial Master came to see Your Majesty and said that the child of the Ji family was determined to become a monk. I am afraid that the engagement cannot be fulfilled."
Yang Shu was really surprised. He had already thought about how to resolve this marriage, but he didn't expect that the Ji family would take action first.
Did Mingwei do it, or is he really going to become a monk?
"Your Majesty agrees?"
"Of course. The gift of marriage is the icing on the cake, how can you force it? Moreover, His Majesty personally witnessed the child's entry into Xuandu Temple. Now that he has entered the Taoism more and more, and no longer wants to be involved in the mortal world, of course he will be allowed to do so. ”
Before he could relax, he heard the imperial concubine sigh regretfully: "That's the young lady from the Ming family. Your Majesty feels that she has a bad fate and is not a good match for you. What's more, she has just broken off the engagement. In the short term, It’s not good to mention marriage again.”
Yang Shu heard what Concubine Pei meant.
But he didn't ask any more questions and just begged Concubine Pei to speak for him.
Concubine Pei is unstoppable.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Shu had to resign and leave.
He knew in his heart that when he returned to Beijing this time, it would be impossible to see the imperial concubine as frequently as before, but he could not express anything on his face and could only bid farewell to her calmly.
Back at the palace, he called Ah Wan to deliver a letter to the Ji family.
Then he wandered out and went to find his senior brother outside the city.
When Ning Xiu left, he had already resigned from his job at Mingcheng Academy. He did not go back even when he came back. Now he lives in the back mountain of Xuandu Temple.
Mingwei once asked about the relationship between their master and disciple and Xuandu Guan. Ning Xiu replied: "It was several generations ago. Xuandu Guan owes our ancestor a great favor. He once promised , as long as our sect still has the inheritance, we will be the honored guests of Xuandu Temple."
Ming Wei felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity as she listened.
There is something in the depths of my memory that is about to move, but I can’t catch it, so I can only let it go and think about it.
It was almost evening when Mingwei received the letter.
She said she was going out, and Mrs. Ji told her to come back early.
Master Ji, Xiu Mu, was at home. Watching her go out, he asked curiously: "So Xiao Qi is like this too?"
Mrs. Ji rolled her eyes at him: "You just know?"
"She is just a girl, so she is allowed to go out casually?" Master Ji was in disbelief, "Why didn't you mention it before?"
"So what if I mention it?" Mrs. Ji said coldly, "I'm afraid you don't know that Xiaoqi earned your business for you, right?"
"Huh?"
Mrs. Ji rolled her eyes, not having any hope for her stupid and adorable husband. He should just do his knowledge and teach his books! Well, my son can support the family business anyway.
When Mingwei went to Xuandu to view the back mountain, it was dinner time.
The delicious smell of food came from the small courtyard.
But it was Yang Shu who packed Zheguilou’s signature dishes and ate them specially in front of Ning Xiu.
Ning Xiu has not become a monk, but his daily life ~IndoMTL.com~ is completely pure and simple. He does not follow the precepts specially, but he has less **** and less desire.
For example, he will also eat fine wine and delicious food, but he will be extremely restrained and still focus on filling his stomach.
Yang Shu often teased him deliberately and never tired of it.
"Are you bored?" Mingwei looked at his behavior and knew that he was teasing Ning Xiu again.
As soon as Yang Shu saw her, he immediately forgot about Ning Xiu and waved: "You haven't eaten dinner yet? Come on! I just asked someone to bring it."
"Sir." Mingwei greeted.
Ning Xiu nodded lightly and continued to eat. Then he saw that the dishes on the table were quickly reduced, and they were moved from the plate to Mingwei's bowl.
"Come and eat this, and this one, this one is not bad..."
Ming Wei couldn't laugh or cry: "There's so much, I can't finish it!"
"I'll help you eat!"
"Put it in your own bowl."
"I don't! This tastes delicious!"
Ning Xiu had no expression on his face as he finished the last bite of rice and pushed the bowl away: "I'm full."
Even if you are not full, you are still full.
Yang Shu only took the time to say "Oh" without saying anything and continued to grab food from Mingwei's bowl.
Ning Xiu stood in front of the window, silently looking up at the sky.
I brushed my fingers on the back of the piano and finally endured it.
By the time they finished eating, it was almost dark.
A lantern swayed slowly from the path.
The man with the lantern knocked on the door, and Duofu came over to welcome him in.
The spring night is still cold. The man was wearing a cloak and took off his hat at this time.
"Mr. Fu."
Fu Jin casually handed the cloak to Duofu, nodded with a smile, and picked up the snacks in his hand: "Here, let's drink."
