After rebirth, I made the princes cry

In fact, the post house is only for receiving officials. Originally, when Nanci and Ying Shu came to stay in the post house, they should first hand over their talismans and official documents to the chief officials for inspection. However, usually even the nobles had fish talisman orders given by the emperor, confirming their prominent status. Not only was he an official of the imperial court, but he was also given a title. Most of the officials no longer needed to check the official documents and verify the correct identity of the postman. Since Nanci was a prince, he naturally had the Fish Talisman Order, and it was also a gold-plated picture and text. , whose status seems to be higher than that of a middle-grade family, or at least a disciple of a high-grade family. How can the senior officials dare to pursue official documents, and they are worried that they are not considerate in serving them diligently.

It wasn't until Nanci and Yingshu went shopping that the clerks heard from others about the noble person they were "entertaining" this time.

That night, just before the market closed, the cook hired from the wine shop came to the post house on time, cooked several large dishes, and sent one portion to the moon-viewing tower pavilion in the post house. The rest were left to the entourage and The clerks shared the food, and a group of people in the yard mingled with each other, gnawing on the hooves of the sheep, and grilling the tender belly of the goose. They had no interest in looking up at the moon, but they were all happy because the distinguished post guest was going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they also had the opportunity to drink. The benefits of eating meat.

After drinking, his tongue became enlarged and his soles became light. A clerk inquired: "Good brothers, what a fate it is that we can sit together and drink together today. I heard the accents of my brothers and what they said was Mandarin is elegant, knowing that if it were normal, we would never have the luck to eat from the same table and drink wine from the same jar with the brothers. If the brothers are willing to confide a few words, what are the backgrounds of these two distinguished guests? We have more sense in our hearts and don’t expect to be supported by noble people. As long as the noble people don’t think we are neglectful, our brothers will be very kind to us."

The entourage and bodyguards that Nanji personally selected were not only loyal, but also cautious. But today, they were told first, so they "confided".

"Don't worry, as long as you serve Zhou Dao, there will be many benefits for you. As for you two, one is Lord Guisu, and the other is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family of Langyi. Xing Wu, the fifth wife of the Wang family, calls Your Majesty uncle."

On the high moon-viewing building, the food table is placed on a small terrace that extends out of the pavilion. The moonlight is not blocked and pours down. Looking through the railing of the terrace, looking down, you can see the yard. There is a lively scene inside, and upwards, there is a full moon. In the shadow of the moon, you can vaguely make out the legendary laurel tree, under which lies the Jade Rabbit.

There is a legend of Chang'e flying to the moon in ancient times, but it has nothing to do with Zhongqiu. Yingshu remembers that a few years later, a famous scholar wrote a poem for Zhongqiu. It was the first time that the "origin" between the fairy in the moon and the day of Zhongqiu was written. Gradually, Chang'e, who transformed into a jade rabbit, looked at the men and women in the world under the osmanthus tree in mid-autumn every mid-autumn, and began to regret swallowing the elixir alone. Although she gained eternal life, she was lonely forever.

"I have always felt that if the legend of Chang'e is true, she may not regret it." Yingshu drank the wine. Before finishing the drink, she gently put the wine cup down and looked inside the wine cup. There was also a small full moon.

"Oh?" Nanci also looked at the moon in the wine cup. He filled the wine cup and placed it carefully, adding another moon to his wine cup.

One wheel in the sky, one pair in the world.

"Love, love, love, this kind of thing is actually a mirror image, illusory and ethereal. Women have been more passionate since ancient times, but this is also a secular view, because in the secular world, it is undeniable that women mostly rely on men. For the common people, As the proverb goes, marry a man, dress and eat when you marry a man. For aristocrats, if a woman can win the love of her husband, her life will indeed be more comfortable, happy and peaceful.

Women cannot be officials and cannot make contributions. It is a woman's "merit" to be filial to her parents-in-law, husband, and raise children. But even if such "merit" is to be recognized by the world, it ultimately depends on the man's deeds. If a man accomplishes nothing, a woman's filial piety will not be the same. It’s worthless. "

Nanci nodded: "This is why the women in the history books are already extraordinary, but those who are praised by future generations will always be the concubines of wise kings and sages, and the tyrants who subjugate their country will always have an adulterous concubine next to them."

"Only Chang'e is different." Yingshu looked at the moon in the sky again: "Yi shot for nine days and saved the people from water and fire, but he had a wife like Chang'e. In order to seek eternal life, he stole the elixir and became a The treachery and love for vain women are just legends. We cannot invent the reason for Chang'e's decisiveness and assume that Hou Yi failed her first.

I just think that this character in the legend did not want to be a vassal of her husband. Her greed for eternal life made her give up love. She was determined to realize her pursuit, and she succeeded, so why did she want to Regret? The world believes that all women are afraid of loneliness. Even if they become the Moon Fairy, they will one day be unable to bear the loneliness and regret it. But no one thinks that a man can't live without a woman. Look, Hou Yi's wife left him. And gone. According to the legend, there is no content about Hou Yi's sorrow and hatred for Qi Gu. "

"If I were Hou Yi, I would try my best to find another elixir and follow Chang'e." Nanci smiled.

Why did he force his wife to steal the elixir and go to Guanghan alone? Why did he have to endure the separation of heaven and earth, the eternal separation between life and death? In his previous life, he was probably the useless Hou Yi. He first decided that such isolation could not be saved, so he finally It resulted in a tragic and bitter fruit.

"Nanhuai County is not big, small is not small. It is stupid for us to search for Du Chang's whereabouts unilaterally, because we cannot stay in Nanhuai County for too long." Yingshu said.

Nanci had to pull himself out of the entanglement of love and love. He frowned: "If Du Chang is the murderer, he will worry about being tracked. I can't conclude that he will be detained in the county. A guilty conscience Most people will choose to stay temporarily in more remote places such as small counties or even towns."

"Duchang told his old landlord that he would come to Nanhuai County. If he was really suspected, and the people in the yamen learned about his whereabouts from the old landlord, they would naturally think that he would not really come to the county. He would enter the county If you want to enter a city, you only need to rush to the city gate guard to show your citizenship certificate and past residence. As long as the verification is correct, it will not be sent to the state government for record. And county towns have more residents than counties and towns. As long as he does not stay in the inn for a long time, he will be able to do so in a timely manner. Renting a temporary residence is extremely difficult to detect. If you mislead someone first, you will already delay being successfully tracked, which will increase his chances of escaping.

He said that he wanted to go to Yiju several years ago, and he was not sure that the old landlord would remember it and reveal it, but he was bound to go to Yiju because he believed that only by going to Yiju could he get more opportunities to make a fortune. . He didn't go to Yiju just to live anonymously like a fugitive. So before going to Yiju, he would definitely have accumulated a certain amount of connections in Huainan County. Moreover, he could only go to Yiju by land, and he also carried business skills with him. Jin, Yizhou has just been recovered, and it cannot be called peace yet. In order to be wary of bandits, Du Chang will definitely be thinking about partnering up with others. Who is the safest person? Of course it was an official mission. If he wanted to get to know the official missionaries going to Yizhou, would it be most convenient for him to have good relations with the post office clerks in Huainan County? "

Nanci also agreed with Yingshu's judgment, but he always felt that there was a big contradiction in some link. He pressed his forehead and thought for a long time, and actually doubted himself: "My initial judgment was that Du Chang and his wife listened to Musa Wu's words and tried to They used sorcery to free Du Changfu from the "curse" and regain sight in her left eye. They should also hope to give birth to healthy children so that their children would not die prematurely. This was their motive for murdering Fei, but the Musa witch was not pretending to be a ghost. evil villain.

There is another weird thing. Since Du Chang was obsessed with looking for opportunities to make a fortune in Yizhou and planned to invest his many years of savings in the future Yizhou commercial market, why did he need to take the risk of killing Fei before doing such a big thing? Is he really confident that he can escape punishment? "

Yingshu wanted to try some side dishes to go with the wine, but she put down her chopsticks. She lowered her eyes and watched the moonlight fill her embroidered skirt mixed with lotus roots and cloud peaks. The tight gold threads embroidered into complex but representative The auspicious patterns, the rich and beautiful beauty piled up one after another, there is such brilliance in the world, it seems that there is no darkness and danger, she sighed softly.

"Nanci, the deeds we got were issued separately for Du Chang and Du. Du Chang paid for them and intended to issue them separately. If he planned to leave Jiankang with Du, why did he issue them separately?"

"This is indeed suspicious. Could it be that Du left first, Du Chang stayed in Jiankang, killed Fei, and then reunited with Du?"

Yingshu was silent, and Nanci frowned again: "It can't be that Du Chang leaves first. A woman like Du can stay in Jiankang and use such cruel methods to kill people and dump their bodies, right?"

Nanci shook his head again. There were many witnesses who said that the two women, Du Shi and Fei Shi, were almost the same in stature and were equally thin. Even Du Shi seemed to have some diseases, otherwise she would not have been able to survive in the hot summer season, which was not the dog days of summer. She just suffered from the heat and fainted on the street. She also glanced at her. If she stayed alone in Nan Fuli, she would be more likely to attract attention. There is no deep hatred between Du and Fei. They have become very good friends in the past few years. Even if Du has bad intentions in befriending Fei, she is a woman after all. She can really kill someone who has no grudges or grudges. What?

Yingshu was about to elaborate on her inference when she heard footsteps and turned around to see that it was Nanci's guards who were coming upstairs.

"Your Highness, the governor of Huainan asked to see you and said that a banquet was being held at the governor's office. However, he just heard that your highness had arrived in Huainan and came to invite your highness to the banquet in person."

The governor of Huainan was born in a middle-class family in Jiangdong, which is on par with Nanci's maternal family, Pingyi Bofu. However, because his family does not live in Jiankang, it is further away from the center of power. For the prince , they must be willing to make friends, not to mention that they heard that Nan Ci was traveling with Ying Shu. The Huainan governor knew that Ying Shu was now a female official in the palace. It was not difficult to guess that Nan Ci was here under the imperial order this time, so he would not be indifferent. .

Nanci chuckled and said, "So quickly, the news reached the Governor's Mansion."

Yingshu looked at the brightly lit governor's mansion across a street: "It's so close, so the governor is an afterthought, but with his cooperation, it will naturally be more convenient, and socializing is inevitable. I don't have this status." It's good to go, Yue has already rewarded me, and I plan to settle down first, so I have to leave the entertainment to you."

It was still late at night, and the moon had not yet reached its peak. Nan Ci was reluctant to end the banquet between him and Ying Shu in a hurry, but looking at Ying Shu's expression, he was actually a little tired. He thought about these two days, after all, After a long journey, the bed in the guest post here was somewhat uncomfortable. Yingshu probably didn't sleep well last night, and she went to the market for half a day today. By this time, it was already very tiring.

He stood up first, went to Yingshu's side, stretched out his hand, let Yingshu hold his arm, and got up with a little strength. He watched Yingshu let go of his arm, stood in front of him, smiled at him, and listened to her instructions. Too much, he wanted to say, "I am no longer the cripple who often relies on alcohol to relieve his pain," but he did not say it after all. Yingshu was used to asking for help, and often made him cherish and miss her, so he just smiled.

"I have given the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony to Qing Yu." Nanci said, "You can see it when you return to the guest room."
