Those Years In Quest Of Honor Mine

Zhong Wan sneezed.

"It's autumn, did Master Zhong catch a cold?"

In the main room, the local magistrate was courteous and polite, "Master Zhong works hard for the inside and outside of the house every day. You should take good care of yourself. You can't be negligent. How can you not get sick if you eat whole grains? I still remember when Master Zhong first came to Qian'an , the water and soil are not acclimatized, I have been ill for a whole year, now the autumnal equinox has passed, and the cold dew is coming..."

Zhong Wan couldn't help being distracted when the county magistrate talked about the way of keeping in good health in a tedious manner, but his face was still very kind, and he kept nodding his head. After half a stick of incense, Zhong Wan finally heard what the magistrate wanted to say.

"Although the lower official has been working abroad for a long time, he is not allowed to enter the capital, but he has also heard about the various demeanor of the young prince Yu, and he admires him very much in his heart. He hopes that if he can enter the capital one day, he can also pay a visit to the capital. It is not a disappointment." County Magistrate Carefully accompanied by a smile, he continued, "I heard that Master Zhizhou was able to pay a visit to Young Master Yu with Master Zhong's token back then..."

Zhong Wan was in a trance again.

When I first came to Southern Xinjiang, life in the palace was very difficult.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor let King Ning's three children come to this barren land to fend for themselves. Among those who were looking forward to the sudden death of the three brothers and sisters, Zhong Wan was only in his teens at the time, and it was really difficult to protect the crumbling palace.

Zhong Wan was deeply favored by King Ning, so he had no choice but to find a way to keep the orphan of the old master. He first returned the title of King Ning for his young master Xuan Rui, and slightly dispelled the emperor's vigilance, but he only survived temporarily. Barren, if you can't stand here, you may not even be able to get food, Zhong Wan can't let the people in the house starve to death, it will be embarrassing.

Zhong Wan was studying with Xuanrui, and was taught by the Taifu together with all the sons and daughters of the phoenix and dragons. He barely had a little classmate friendship with Yu She and the young prince Yu. They grew up together, and then said that Yu She had a lot of "friendship" with him. Later, Zhong Wan became thicker and thicker, and simply said that Yu She has a deep affection for him.

Yu She was young at the time and had no real power, but his father was the only king with a different surname in the dynasty, and his mother was his compatriot younger sister, Princess Anguo, with such a prestigious status, so others would naturally be wary of bringing him out. point.

Zhong Wan was implicated in the matter of King Ning back then, fell into slavery, was bought by the young prince Yu, and lived in the other courtyard of Prince Yu's mansion for half a year. It frightened a group of country bumpkins in southern Xinjiang.

After gaining a firm foothold in Nanjiang, Zhong Wan asked Xuanrui to be demoted to be the county king. Half a year later, the first annual reward from the imperial city arrived belatedly. It was the sixth day of February. It was Zhong Wan's 17th birthday.

After Zhong Wan had a peaceful birthday, he breathed a sigh of relief, but began to worry again, whether these officials who gave the annual rewards would bring back their "amorous love" with Yu She when they returned to Beijing.

In the past, King Ning was responsible for the fall of Ma Yu's mansion, and later he also fell into trouble, and now Xuanrui wants to eat the entire Yu Wang's mansion raw, but Zhong Wan's conscience is very good, but he is worried that Yu She will hear him making it up. After saying those words, his lungs exploded, and he went to his emperor's uncle to ask for an imperial order, and immediately flattened Qian'an Palace.

But a year or two passed, there were many rumors in Beijing, but there was no movement from Yu She's side.

During this period, there was a rather daring Zhizhou, when he went to Beijing to report on his duties, he brought a fan that was said to be an old item of Prince Yu from Zhong Wana, and was going to knock on the gate of Prince Yu's mansion.

Zhizhou went to Beijing, while Zhong Wan was already taking care of the funeral.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, Zhizhou came back with a red face.

Zhizhou showed a lot of courtesy and thanked Zhong Wan a lot. Zhong Wan was quite surprised, and asked hesitantly: "Ziyou... is he okay?"

Yu She, styled Ziyou.

Zhizhou impassionedly exaggerated Yu She that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth.

Zhong Wan asked cautiously again: "The matter that your lord asked..."

Zhizhou was overjoyed: "Of course it's right! With that token, and...cough cough, the old relationship between the two of you is still there, so it will go smoothly."

The rather tactful Zhong Wan, who had been sharpened before reaching the championship, managed to maintain his composure that day, and sent the overjoyed Zhizhou out as politely as possible.

……

"I didn't dare to dream about it at first, but it will take at least half a year for the prince to leave, and I really miss it, so I thought about it, didn't I..."

Zhong Wan came back to his senses, and smiled politely at the chattering magistrate, knowing in his heart that he was here to ask for something.

Zhong Wan touched the jade pendant on his waist, it was the last thing that came out of Yu She's hand, Zhong Wan wanted to keep it, but he remembered that when he came to Southern Xinjiang at the beginning of the year, the county magistrate was quite polite to Xuan Rui, Zhong Wan was Sincerely.

Zhong Wanping was the one who was most unwilling to owe others, so he took off the jade pendant around his waist, and smiled: "This is what Little Prince Yu always wore back then, he knew it at a glance..."

The county magistrate was overjoyed, hurriedly held the past with both hands, and left happily.

Zhong Wan got up, followed behind the county magistrate and sent him out.

"Be quick and easy."

Today is going to be on the road. The Qian'an Palace is in a mess everywhere. The servants are hurriedly carrying their luggage, coming in and out. The old housekeeper in the palace glanced at the county magistrate from a distance, ignored him, and stood in the courtyard looking up. Looking at the sun, I felt that everyone was moving too slowly, so I couldn't stop urging, "Hurry up! Put on the lady's car first, and go to the backyard to prepare first!"

The housekeeper greeted him back and forth, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhong Wan approaching, so he greeted him.

The old housekeeper said displeasedly: "What do you want?"

"It's nothing, I came to see him off, the prince is impatient to greet him, let me take care of it." Zhong Wan smiled, and took a heavy box of books from her hand for the maid beside her, and tied the book box to the car while Said, "Don't worry, the inside is not packed yet."

The servant girl blessed Zhong Wanfu, blushed and ran into the main room with her head buried.

Zhong Wan was handsome, tall, and had a rare temper without airs, and was kind to everyone. He was in his twenties and hadn't married yet. Many maids in the house liked him.

The old housekeeper Yan Pingshan frowned: "You didn't do this, go in and wait."

Zhong Wan fastened the bookcase and patted it, "Waiting is boring."

Yan Pingshan was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "In these years, the emperor has never thought of our lord during the Longevity Festival, why this year suddenly..."

Zhong Wan smiled lightly, "It's okay."

Yan Pingshan said worriedly, "Last night, the lights in the prince's room were kept on. He just turned seventeen last month. At such a young age, he..."

"The emperor asked the prince to come to Beijing, why don't you go?" Zhong Wan said softly after a young man walked away, "The emperor is just worried, and wants to see these children, so let him see, I see , Don't worry, we will naturally let us back, and then we will continue to live a quiet life."

Yan Pingshan wanted to say more, but Zhong Wan's voice became softer: "Xuanrui has the title of a county king, and he will be an adult soon. Is it possible not to let the emperor see him?"

Yan Pingshan frowned: "Then what are Master Yu and Miss Yu doing? They are so small..."

Master Yu was talking about Xuan Yu.What the lady is talking about is Xuan Congxin, the twins of King Ning.

Zhong Wan said: "You also know that they are still young, so don't be afraid, the emperor can still make trouble with the two children? Besides, there is me."

Yan Pingshan hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

With Zhong Wan around, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about.

At that time, everyone in the mansion finally packed their luggage, and Qian'an Wang Xuanrui led his younger brother Xuanyu out.

Xuan Yu was only ten years old and didn't know about his personnel. He was very happy when he heard that he was going out, so he looked around and couldn't help urging him. Xuan Rui smiled wryly, and carried his younger brother into the carriage by himself.

"My lord." Zhong Wan stood beside the carriage, helped Xuan Rui into the carriage, and said softly, "Don't think too much."

Xuan Rui's brows were full of worry, he turned his head to look at Zhong Wan, relaxed a little, nodded and got into the car.

Zhong Wan got on his horse, turned his horse's head to look at Xuan Congxin again, and after confirming that nothing happened, he gave a long whistle, and the long motorcade started to move slowly. No one on the right shouted, and the group walked on the road quietly, even the loess raised on the street was a little lighter than the others.

Two months later, everyone arrived in the suburbs of Beijing.

It will take half a day to enter the city. Everyone in Qian'an Palace rested a little bit. Zhong Wan was knocked up for two full months, and his whole body hurt. He was leaning in the car to take a nap. , with a bit of tiredness: "Uncle Yan? What's the matter..."

Zhong Wan sat up and got in without waiting for him to lift the car curtain.

Zhong Wan was overjoyed: "Lin Si!"

Lin Si was very skilled, and he got into the car quietly without disturbing others. He knelt down for Zhong Wan in the car, and Zhong Wan pulled him up, "Is everything ready?"

Lin Si nodded, and took out a piece of paper guide from his bosom.

Zhong Wan took it over and smiled: "My deed of selling my body is still in Zi... It's still in Prince Yu's Mansion. If someone goes to the city to interrogate me later, I may be embarrassed as a slave. It would be much better to have this."

Lin Si is a mute, unable to speak, upon hearing this, she smiled slightly, and gestured to reassure Zhong Wan.

Lin Si was Zhong Wan's companion in Zhong's mansion when he was young. After the incident with King Ning, he was sold into Prince Yu's mansion together with Zhong Wan. Later, Zhong Wan went to southern Xinjiang with the youngest sons of King Ning. Wan takes care of the affairs of Beijing and China.

Sign language gestures were too slow, Lin Si took out a pen and paper, and wrote down all the things he wanted to explain to Zhong Wan, Zhong Wan turned on the hand stove and lit it, and it was all burned while watching.

The carriage swayed, and the interior of the carriage was very quiet, only the creaking of the carriage and the occasional crackling of coals could be heard. An hour later, Zhong Wan breathed out lightly, "It's about the same as I thought."

Lin Si sign language: everything is well planned, don't worry.

Zhong Wan nodded, and hesitated for a moment: "Then who..."

Lin Si looked at Zhong Wan quietly, waiting patiently.

Zhong Wan laughed at himself, and said in a low voice, "It's... Xiao Wangye Yu."

Lin Si looked at Zhong Wan, waiting for Zhong Wan to continue.

Zhong Wan slandered Lin Si for not being able to speak or look at people, and he had to whip a whip to move, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "Young Master Yu...how is it?"

Lin Sixi's words are like gold: very good.

The two were relatively silent, and they were quiet for half a cup of tea.

Lin Sifu was in his heart, suddenly understood, and signed in sign language: Master wants to know how he is?

Zhong Wan said uncomfortably: "He's at least...he's also my concubine in name, and he's going to Beijing soon, I'm concerned about him, is it okay?"

Lin thought for a while, picked up the pen and paper again, and started writing.

Zhong Wan watched slowly.

"He is one year younger than me." Zhong Wan put a page of paper into the stove and said softly, "This year is also in his twenties, why...not married yet?"

"Could it be... that you're involved in those "love affairs" with me?"

Lin Si shook her head: No.

Lin Si started to write again: Three years ago, the young prince Yu and the crown, the emperor and Princess An Guo found many ladies from famous families for the young prince, but the young prince resigned all of them, saying that he didn't like them.

Lin Si wrote down many ladies in a row, Zhong Wan frowned, "I don't like this? Then what else does he want?"

Lin Si continued to write: Prince Yu said that he wanted Princess Huiyang.

Princess Huiyang, the fourth princess today.

Zhong Wan choked, "Huiyang is just nine years old...is he crazy?"

Lin Si shook her head: she's not crazy, she's a nice person.

Zhong Wan laughed: "The emperor dotes on him so much, don't you really agree?"

Lin Si wrote: No, the emperor was so angry that he almost fought with the little prince.

Zhong Wan's heart moved, and she said in a low voice: "When I was young, I accompanied Xuan Rui to study in the palace, and I heard a secret story..."

Lin Si nodded: It has been rumored that Prince Yu is actually...

"Shh..."

Zhong Wan shook her head.

Lin Si paused, and continued to write: The emperor was furious and almost deprived the young prince of his position as the eldest son. It was the princess who entered the palace overnight and persuaded her, and finally...

Lin Si wrote: The little prince is so favored, so it is natural to let it go. The emperor ignored the little prince Yu for two months, and then the favor continued as usual, so his marriage was delayed like this.

Zhong Wan smiled: "The emperor may not have such a good temper towards his own princes."

Zhong Wan frowned again: "Although Young Master Yu's temper is not very good, it's more than that, right? He clearly knows that this marriage will not work out, so why deliberately provoke the emperor?"

Lin Si shook her head.

Zhong Wan didn't understand: "What do you mean by shaking your head?"

Lin Si didn't write any more, looked up at Zhong Wan seriously, and signed in sign language:

I can't hear the details, but in recent years, Prince Yu's temperament has changed drastically.

Don't see him unless necessary.
