As the carriages and horses traveled south, the weather gradually became warmer, and the cultural landscape was completely different.
The north is cold and the south is warm; the north is bold and the south is graceful.
Most of the guards, maids, and mothers-in-law in the team were brought from the royal capital and have never left the royal capital. From time to time, you can hear the exclamations and comments of the servants along the way, which is surprising. The originally monotonous trip added a bit of fun.
In late March, a group of carriages and horses finally entered the territory of Jingzhou.
There is a saying: "Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen." Originally, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue planned to stay only one night at the entrance of Jingzhou before continuing their journey. Who knew that it would rain a little at noon on the day they entered the city? It rained lightly, making the roads muddy and making it difficult for vehicles to travel.
When everyone arrived at the inn, the group of carriages and horses were already in a state of disarray.
The Yi Cheng put on his raincoat and stepped forward to greet the guests, saying apologetically: "Several officials, it has been raining continuously these days, making it difficult to travel. The herringbone houses are already full, and only the ground-size houses are left. The herringbone houses are about to arrive. There won't be any vacancies until tomorrow."
According to Dayu's rules, you need to rely on "post coupons" issued by the government to live in a post station. Officials of different levels enjoy different treatments, and they have to leave after more than three days, so Yi Cheng is sure that tomorrow There will be vacancies.
Jikou City was originally the largest town in Jingzhou, so there were a lot of officials and postmen coming and going. In addition, there was continuous rain in the spring, so the guest rooms in the post station were a little tight.
Zhu Xing, who was riding on a tall horse, frowned. The house in that place was for postmen. How could the prince and his concubine live in such a room? Moreover, what they want is not a herringbone room.
Zhu Xing asked in a deep voice: "Where is the room with the same name that day?"
Yicheng was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: Could it be that a distinguished guest is here? If that's the case, it's best to avoid offending others.
The postmaster nodded and said: "There is still another room in Tianzihao." Tianzihao is the best residence in the post. It is almost a small courtyard, so it is exclusively for dignitaries.
As soon as the Yi Cheng finished speaking, he heard a strange male voice coming from the right side: "We, the adults, want this high-end house!"
Zhu Xing's face darkened, and he looked around and saw a black canopy carriage coming from the other side of the street. Beside the carriage were several guards in raincoats riding tall horses. One of them had a short beard. The guard said loudly: "Yicheng, please arrange a room for us quickly!"
Listening to the voice, it is obvious that this is the person who just spoke!
Zhu Xing grabbed the reins and cupped his hands towards the visitor and said, "Brother, everything is done on a first-come, first-served basis. We are clearly here first."
The guard said disapprovingly: "What on you? You still want to live in the emperor's room, do you have a 'silver medal'?" As he said that, the guard took out a silver medal from his waist and flashed it to Zhu Xing, "No. Anyone can live in the Emperor's Room!"
There are four types of Dayu's post coupons: one is the horn talisman; the other is the paper coupon; the third is the silver medal; the fourth is the Chuan talisman. Officials at different levels enjoy different levels of treatment. Only officials with silver medals and talismans can live in Tianzihao rooms. However, this silver medal cannot be used by everyone. At least it must be officials of the third rank or above and their family members.
"Brother, please don't look down on others!" Zhu Xing sneered, "I really don't have a silver medal, but I still want to live in this high-end room. How do you feel about it?"
Hearing this, even the Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: Is this person kidding? I don’t have a silver station coupon, but I still want to live in a Tianzihao room?
The guard also raised his lips sarcastically and said: "Brother, I advise you not to cause trouble! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhu Xing take out a gold medal with a unicorn engraved on it from his arms, and he immediately fell silent.
This turned out to be the Golden Qi Chuan Talisman!
The highest level Golden Qi Chuan Talisman among the Yi Tickets!
Yicheng's heart also dropped. This was the first time for him to see this Golden Qi Chuan Talisman for so many years as Yi Cheng! I heard that only princes, first-rank officials, feudal princes and princesses, etc. can hold the Golden Ki Chuan Talisman. It seems that these flat-top carriages look ordinary, but the people sitting in them are the most distinguished guests!
Zhu Xing said calmly: "I wonder if we can afford the emperor's room?"
"Of course I'll live there!" Yi Cheng responded hurriedly, sweating profusely, and thought to himself: Fortunately, the owner of the Golden Qi Chuan Talisman came early. If the other party came a step later, who would he let live there? This is the emperor’s room!
The guard looked a little stiff. Although his master was not low in rank, he certainly couldn't compete for a room with the owner of the Golden Qi Chuan Fu. Another guard behind him suddenly came forward and whispered a few words in his ear, and then he said to Yi Cheng: "Yicheng, since there is no Tianzi room, please arrange a herringbone room for us adults. ”
Yicheng said in embarrassment: "My lord, the herringbone houses are full, and only the land-sized houses are left..."
"Can't we adults even live in a herringbone room?" The guard interrupted the Yi Cheng impatiently, "You are a little Yi Cheng, but you don't even take into account a dignified third-grade official! We all Mr. Fang went to the royal capital to meet the saint on the order of King Zhennan!"
King of Zhennan? General judgment? Zhu Xing couldn't help but look surprised, it still felt like we were enemies on a narrow road!
Zhu Xing was just thinking about whether he should talk to Xiao Yi in the carriage, but Xiao Yi's lazy voice had already sounded: "Hong Tongjian is really so majestic! Even this prince feels ashamed!"
While speaking, Xiao Yi jumped out of the carriage, and Zhu Zi hurriedly held an umbrella for him.
The guard with short cheeks and short beard secretly thought that he was unlucky to meet a nosy master today. But the other party can’t afford to offend him!
"Does this young master know our Lord Hong?" The guard said politely, "I was offended just now, and it was my fault! Now I apologize to the young master, and from now on we will not offend each other." He It means that as long as what he is robbing is not Xiao Yi's room, Xiao Yi should stop meddling in his own business!
Xiao Yi curled his lips with a smile and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to accept your fate!"
"You..." The guard was so angry that he held his breath in his chest, but he could not speak harshly to the noble man.
Xiao Yi gave Zhu Xing a look, and Zhu Xing nodded slightly in understanding, then raised his voice and said: "Hong Tongxun, why don't you get out of the car to pay homage to the Crown Prince!"
Your Majesty? ! The guard didn't react for a moment, and thought to himself: It turns out that he is just a prince. Is it the prince Hou or the prince Bo? At most, he is just a prince, right? ……etc!
He suddenly thought of something, turned a little pale, and stammered: "Is it...could it be...the Crown Prince?"
The Yi Cheng was confused after what he heard. He only knew that the two parties were probably acquaintances...
At this time, the curtain of the canopy carriage was raised, and a boy helped a middle-aged man in a brocade robe down. The man stepped forward quickly, and the rainwater sliding down the umbrella accidentally got his hands wet. But he no longer cared about his clothes and robes. He walked up to Xiao Yi, bowed his head respectfully and said, "I'm here to see you, the Crown Prince!"
It is indeed the prince!
Hong Tongpan was still a bit lucky, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Isn’t the prince holding a hostage in the royal capital? Why did he appear here... He subconsciously looked at the convoy that came with Xiao Yi. The prince brought so many people with him. Could it be that the emperor allowed him to return to southern Xinjiang with his family?
Does the prince know about this?
Pan Hong Tong was shocked and confused.
Looking at the respectful look of Judge Hong Tong, Yi Cheng still didn’t know what was going on. It seemed that this young man with an appearance that was too handsome to be ordinary was actually the prince of Zhennan! Judge Hong Tong was so unlucky that he even managed to get in front of his master by showing off his authority!
Xiao Yi looked at Hong Tongpian with a slightly raised brow, and asked casually: "Why did Hong Tongpian go to the capital this time?"
Hong Tong decided to calm down and quickly replied: "I am under the command of the prince..."
Hong Tongpan was actually ordered by King Zhennan to deliver the child to the royal capital. The King of Zhennan consciously made peace talks with Baiyue, which saved a war, so he specially ordered Hong Tongpan to bring An Zhezi to the royal capital. On the one hand, he wanted to express his loyalty to the emperor, and on the other hand, he also wanted to claim credit. of.
Xiao Yi could guess a thing or two about this, but it would be unsightly if he was asked to tell the whole story. So Xiao Yi directly interrupted him and said with a half-smile, "Although you have official duties, Hong Tongjian, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't let people think that our Zhennan Palace is bullying others!"
"Yes, that is what the Crown Prince has taught me. After you are dismissed from office, you must be able to discipline your subordinates." Judge Hong Tong replied with sweating profusely, and lowered his head even further.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi was too lazy to tell him more. He waved his hand and said, "I am tired, so I will go in and rest first. Hong Tongpan, please find a place to stay as soon as possible."
After Hong Tong agreed, he thought to himself that he had to report the news to the prince as soon as possible!
He stepped back respectfully, and the team of carriages and horses that followed him almost disappeared quickly...
The postmaster secretly felt happy and hurriedly led the crowd into the post station.
After spending more than half an hour, everyone finally settled down at the inn.
Although the inn has a kitchen and a cook, how can these cooks compare to the cook brought by Nangong Yue. That night, the cook and a few maids borrowed the inn’s kitchen to cook a table of delicious dishes for the masters. .
After drinking and eating, Xiao Yi was in a good mood and suggested: "I heard from Yi Cheng that it has been rainy in Jingzhou recently. I thought that the roads are muddy and inconvenient to travel with, so I might as well stay at the post station for one more night, maybe tomorrow." Strolling around in Jiaokou City..."
"This is a good idea!" Fu Yunhe couldn't wait to applaud. "The most famous thing in Xiakou is the Yellow Crane Tower. I have long wanted to climb the Yellow Crane Tower!" The last time, whether it was to go to southern Xinjiang or Back to the capital, I always come and go in a hurry with the emperor's orders, but it's never as leisurely as this time!
Xiao Yi's face darkened. He was originally going to use these words to please Nangong Yue, but Fu Yunhe took the opportunity instead.
When they heard that they could go to Yellow Crane Tower tomorrow, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei's eyes lit up and they smiled happily.
The Yellow Crane Tower is known as the "No. 1 Tower in the World". The literati of the past dynasties have left many masterpieces in the Yellow Crane Tower. I am afraid that there are not many literati in the world who would not want to go to the Yellow Crane Tower to admire the style of their predecessors. Yes, thinking that Nangong Yue came from a scholarly family and rarely traveled far away, Xiao Yi had actually planned to take her to have a look and relieve the fatigue of the journey. This spring rain was just one of his Just an excuse.
"Ayi, just take Yue'er and your sister to the Yellow Crane Tower, I won't go with you." Lin Jingchen put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "I plan to go to the medicinal materials market in Jingzhou tomorrow. ."
Nangong Yue laughed dumbly. Yes, my grandfather was not a scholar. He only had two things in his mind: "medicine" and "medicine", and he devoted his whole life to this, so he could achieve his current achievements. .
Xiao Yi also understood this and did not persuade him. He just said: "Grandpa, let Zhou Dacheng go with you tomorrow."
Although Lin Jingchen thought that he was not old enough to need anyone to take care of him, and he had been traveling alone over the years, this was always the wish of his grandson-in-law and granddaughter, so they readily agreed.
After deciding on tomorrow's itinerary, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, at dawn, Lin Jingchen took Zhou Dacheng out together.
As for Xiao Yi, he started his day with a sigh. In his original plan, this was supposed to be a day for him and the smelly girl, but he had to bring Xiao Fei and Fu Yunhe with him. Followers.
Thinking about going to the Yellow Crane Tower today, Xiao Fei was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night. When she got up in the morning, there were still thick shadows under her eyes, but she didn't feel tired at all, and she was even a little excited.
For the convenience of traveling, Nangong Yue specially changed into men's clothes. Early in the morning, when Xiao Fei looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar elegant young master next to Xiao Yi, she was dumbfounded and called out nonchalantly: "Sister-in-law..." Sister-in-law is not everyone. A lady? Why do you imitate the women in playbooks and pretend to be men? And it seems to be quite comfortable, and it doesn’t feel like it happened once or twice.
It must be the eldest brother!
Xiao Fei squinted her eyes and looked at Xiao Yi. It must be her eldest brother who taught her sister-in-law...
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue interrupted Xiao Fei's thoughts, took her arm affectionately and said, "come with me."
Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei to the inner room, pointed to a set of clothes on the table, and said with a smile: "Sister Fei, go and change into it too."
Xiao Fei was dumbfounded and didn't come back to her senses for a while.
A woman disguised as a man? !
This is something she would never have thought about before, but...
She looked at the smiling Nangong Yue hesitantly. Since her sister-in-law was disguising herself as a man, then this matter was not too out of the ordinary? Right?
Xiao Fei half-pushed and half-heartedly allowed Baihui and Queer to serve her and put on men's clothes. When she walked out behind the screen, she felt extremely awkward.
Quie'er covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Prince Princess, the big girl looks like a little scholar when she puts on men's clothes."
Que'er said it all from the bottom of her heart. Xiao Fei has a cool temperament and a refreshing demeanor. Different from those delicate Jiangnan women, probably the "martial arts" of Zhen'an Prince's Palace still has an influence on her, making her even After reading so many books and being good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, she is still different from the ladies of the civil servant family.
Nangong Yue looked around Xiao Fei and praised: "I didn't expect our sister Fei to be so handsome in men's clothes!"
Xiao Fei smiled awkwardly, feeling a little conflicted. On the one hand, she didn’t want to go out in such awkward clothes, but on the other hand, her desire to go to the Yellow Crane Tower overwhelmed everything else...
The four of them set off in Xiao Fei's tangled mood.
Xiao Fei was not used to dressing up as a man for the first time, but Nangong Yue felt like reliving an old dream. She recalled that when Yunying was unmarried, she had traveled with Xiao Yi dressed as men several times...
Xiao Fei's unaccustomedness quickly disappeared without a trace. The scent of books from Jiangnan quickly attracted her attention. As she walked, she looked around with dazzled eyes, amazed again and again.
Xiao Yi frowned and glanced at Xiao Fei, who looked like a country man entering the city. When his eyes moved to Nangong Yue, he softened and said, "Ah Yue, this is your first time in Jingzhou, right?"
Regardless of past life or present life, this is indeed Nangong Yue’s first visit to Jingzhou, so for her, everything here is full of novelties.
Jingzhou is a typical Jiangnan town, a "land of plenty", with a much more comfortable climate than the capital city. In addition, another notable feature of Jingzhou is that arty literati holding paper fans can be seen everywhere, although it is still early spring. , no need for a fan at all.
Xiao Yi found it interesting and simply bought one for each of the four of them. The four young men imitated the literati and waved the paper fans.
Yellow Crane Tower is located on the top of Snake Mountain, but the top of Snake Mountain is no more than thirty feet. Although the mountain is not high, there are many stone tablets left by famous literati and poets erected along the way. Nangong Yue and the others are not in a hurry. So they walked leisurely, stopping and watching. By the time they reached the Yellow Crane Tower on the top of the mountain, it was already past Si hour.
The Yellow Crane Tower is truly worthy of being the first of the three famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River. The large and small roofs on the three floors overlap each other, and the corners are raised high. From a distance, it looks like the wings of a crane spreading its wings.
After admiring the "White Clouds and Yellow Cranes" ceramic mural on the first floor, the four of them filed onto the second floor. On one of the walls on the second floor was engraved the "Yellow Crane Tower" story that everyone knows. 》.
As expected, many literati and scholars have gathered on the second floor. Some are appreciating the "Yellow Crane Tower" engraved on the wall, while others are leaning on the railing to look at the mighty Yangtze River and the majestic mountains in the distance. They are talking about the past and the present.
As soon as they heard the footsteps going upstairs, many literati turned their attention to the four people.
Seeing that the four of them were all handsome young men with handsome faces and good looks, several young students were very fond of him. One of them, a scholar in a green robe, stood up, bowed with a smile and said: " Four brothers, would you like to come over and sit with me?"
Both Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe have cheerful personalities and like to make friends, so they think it doesn’t matter. However, they both brought Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei with them today, so Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue beside him questioningly. .
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei again. Although Xiao Fei felt something was wrong, she now followed her sister-in-law's lead. Since her sister-in-law had no objection, she nodded.
As the four of them approached, some of the students noticed something. Although Xiao Yi's appearance was beautiful, his temperament was not feminine. He even exuded a faint arrogance of a superior person. You can tell by looking at him that he is not from a small family; Fu Yunhe is also tall and strong, his pace is neither fast nor slow, and he walks with the stability and swagger of a warrior. In contrast, although Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were dressed in men's clothing, their demeanor revealed a hint of feminine delicacy...
One of the scholars in his thirties with somewhat frivolous eyebrows secretly exchanged glances with an acquaintance, secretly speculating on the relationship between the two women disguised as men and the handsome young man in brocade robes. . Although these two women seem to have clear eyes and noble temperament, how can they disguise themselves as men if they are ladies?
Could it be...
The scholar and his friend smiled inexplicably, feeling that they had discovered the truth, and thought to themselves: These two young gentlemen are quite romantic figures.
At the same time, several literati students gave up one of the benches that were leaning on the railing. After the four of them thanked Xiao Yi, they sat on the railing.
Xiao Fei leaned on the railing and took a look in the distance, but saw the same color of the mountains and rivers, shrouded in clouds and mist. She couldn't help but blurted out: "It really is 'the shadow of the solitary sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky'. Big..." She I originally wanted to call sister-in-law, but finally remembered in time how they were dressed at the moment, so I changed my words, "Brother, little brother, the Yellow Crane Tower is indeed worthy of its reputation!"
When the green-robed scholar heard her reciting poems, he felt that he was a member of the same profession and said: "Brother, we in Jingzhou have an old saying that you can only live up to the good tea and the beautiful scenery. Brother, please come and have tea with us. ?"
On the small table on the side were a tea set, a small tripod-shaped charcoal stove, and a few scattered porcelain cups. The remaining tea soup could be seen in the cups, and a few wisps of tea fragrance lingered.
Although Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei do not care about the quality of tea, they will not use the cups of unknown origin on the roadside casually.
As soon as Baihui and Queer saw Nangong Yue's eyes, they knew what he was thinking. They took out a set of exquisite tea sets, small pots, and exquisite cups from the basket they carried.
At the same time, Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Everyone give up your seat to us, and let us brothers treat you to tea."
These elegant scholars knew at a glance that this set of purple sand pots and cups were high-quality products produced in Xuanxing, and they thought: It seems that these four people are not ordinary people.
