Records of the King of Xin'an County

In the late spring of March, the warblers fly, the grass grows, and the flowers bloom gorgeously. It should be a lively time.Inside and outside Chang'an City, the cars are like flowing water and the horses are like dragons. No matter if you are a family of officials or ordinary people, you will not miss this good opportunity to go around for a banquet.However, although the funeral of the first emperor was over at this time, it was still in the period of national mourning.Chang'an City was uncharacteristically quiet and solemn.

Wang Zixian sat on the upper floor of a somewhat remote restaurant in Yong'an Square, enjoying the not-so-delicious food casually.His position was close to the window, and with a casual glance, he could see pedestrians and horses coming and going on the street.Of course, nowadays everyone is wearing plain clothes and dare not smile casually, and there is nothing worth watching.What's more, right now, restaurants and wine shops are afraid to sell alcohol, and the sound of singing and dancing is even less heard. Instead of going out, it's better to stay at home and feel at ease.

The reason why he came to this little-known little Lifang was naturally not on a whim.Just in case, he had to witness whether something happened according to his wishes.After being confirmed, he planned to leave immediately to visit Li Hui at Prince Pu's Mansion—they hadn't seen each other for fifty days because of the emperor's funeral. miss.Now, these thoughts have even overflowed, and he has long been unable to control it, and he is unwilling to control it.

In the neighboring seat separated by a simple wooden screen, a young man lowered his voice and said: "Mr. I don't feel confused either. Because Mr. Xu and Mr. Sun are friends now, I couldn't help but investigate first, but I didn't expect to be able to find out. Although this is a scandal, don't see or listen to evil , Don’t say anything indecent—but Sun Mou doesn’t want you to be kept in the dark all the time, and let them play tricks for nothing.”

Another man's voice was full of gloomyness and anger: "I know, you dare not lie to me!! Even if this matter is not very true, it is eighty percent!! Oh, that bitch has almost never concealed it, every day Going to Prince Jing’s mansion, saying that he was going to find his sisters to play games with, so...you think I’m a fool!!” His voice was barely audible, but there were few customers in the restaurant, so he could still hear it clearly.And, obviously, there was gnashing of hatred in his words.

"Hey, I hope there is some misunderstanding in it—Mr. Xu looked out of the window, that green-veiled carriage with plain lanterns hanging down! The driver is the servant of Yichuan County Lord as a dowry, so Sun shouldn't have admitted his mistake?"

"Bitch!" That Mr. Xu was furious immediately, jumped up suddenly, and kicked over the food table, "Let's go! Let's follow her! I want to see with my own eyes how shameless this bitch is!! "After all, he didn't care about other things, kicked away the screen next to him with a sullen face, glanced at the empty neighbor, and went downstairs angrily.

Sun Langjun seemed to want to persuade him, but he could only sigh when he saw this, took out money to compensate the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and left in a hurry.It wasn't until the two of them rode their horses and followed the green curtain car far away that Wang Zixian returned to his previous position from a further corner.After the loud noise before, only their table of guests was left on the second floor of the restaurant, which had few diners. Even the waiters were poking their heads at the stairs, not daring to come up to clean up the mess for a while.

Cao Silang couldn't help sighing: "I'm so angry, I don't know what will happen later. Maybe the two of them will be caught and fight in the street!!" His voice was full of eagerness, you know, he I have long felt that the recent days are too dull, a little boring.

"You want to fight for him?" Wang Zixian asked flatly.

These words are like ice water in a cold day, pouring his head on Cao Silang's head, allowing him to calm down quickly: "This matter has nothing to do with us, why should I join in the fun? But... I just remembered... A Lang , Didn’t the Xiaojun King say that he doesn’t want this matter to become a big deal?”

"After all, he is a son of an aristocratic family. Xu Tian will not be so stupid as to make this matter known to everyone." The prince offered, looking at the small house with two entrances at the end of a certain alley opposite.At this time, the green curtain car had stopped, and a young woman wearing a black gauze curtain could be vaguely seen descending slowly, and the personal maid beside her was also wearing a curtain hat, obviously trying to conceal her identity.And at the farther back door, someone had already rode their horse over alone, dismounted and entered the mansion.

This restaurant really has a very good view, you can see clearly what you should see and what you should not see.Li Qianniang and Li Ge probably never thought that someone in this dilapidated small restaurant is actually watching them all the time, right?Of course, not only this small restaurant, their daily whereabouts have already fallen into the eyes of caring people.Today is just because we want to attract people to watch a good show, so there are a few more spectators.

"He was so angry that he almost drew his sword and killed people immediately. Can he bear it after seeing those two?" Cao Silang couldn't believe it. He can't even let it out, how can he have any face left? A man can never bear this kind of thing!!"

"The county master is definitely not an ordinary woman." Wang Zixian said indifferently, "What's more, the other party's identity is not ordinary. If he dares to reveal the matter and provoke the anger of the emperor, the Xu family will soon cease to exist." New How could the emperor, who cared so much about his reputation, allow the clan to have a scandal and lose face from then on?If the Xu family dared to act recklessly, they would be the first to suffer, and then it would be Li Qianniang and Li Ge's turn.

"Then what should he do?" Cao Silang couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Xu Tian.Although he is only a melodrama, he hasn't seen the shadow of his wife yet - but anyway, he is better than Xu Tian who married such a lady but has unspeakable hardships.Tsk tsk, it should be retribution for marrying this Yichuan county magistrate who has no merits other than status for the sake of her status as a clan girl.How could it be so easy to pick a wife?Haven't you seen that their family, Alang, almost checked the eighteen generations of the Du family's ancestors for the sake of the future princess of the Xiaojun King?

"In another way, Li Qianniang's reputation will be ruined, and Li Ge will be taught a lesson." Wang Zixian said softly, if you don't listen carefully, you can hardly hear it clearly.Even if Xu Tian is not smart enough, the Xu family must have elders who are smart enough to know how to act.Moreover, with Li Qianniang's distorted temperament, it should be impossible to hide the so-called "grievance" in private, and there must be endless curses and insults.As long as they can pry the mouth of the personal servant beside her, they will naturally be able to dig out more things that shock them - at that time, they will have no other choice.

At this time, Sun Rong was quietly approaching the house with Xu Tian.Only by taking a careful detour, will you not be discovered by the coachman waiting in front of the house.Cao Silang looked quite nervous: "Then Xu Erlang seems to want to rush in, and I don't know if Sun Dalang can stop him... Hey, he actually stopped him? Sure enough, as A Lang said, Xu Erlang can really bear it... ...they stopped by the alley, are they planning to wait?"

"At least one or two hours." Wang Zixian glanced at him, "Why, do you want to wait forever?"

"I don't want to! What's the point of staring at that house motionlessly?" Cao Silang said hastily.It's okay to follow him occasionally, but if you let him follow him for a long time, it will be like torture to him.Therefore, the reason why he was arranged to be the prince's personal bodyguard was of course not only because he had gained enough trust.The main reason is that he lacks patience and has a somewhat reckless temperament. It has been difficult for people to ask him to be responsible for some things that require more care and attention.

"I once heard Sun Rong mention that there is a small restaurant in Yong'an Square, and the xiaohua 饆饠 is delicious. Go and buy some."

"Ah Lang also thinks the food in this restaurant is unpalatable? Well, I'll go right away!"

"Buy more, let Xuan Qi taste it when the time comes."

"...I understand!"

After more than an hour, Sun Rong seemed to have persuaded Xu Tian, ​​and went to the back door of the house to wait quietly.Sure enough, not long after, Li Ge came out with a smile on his face, and rode away triumphantly.The two of them went back to the front door in a hurry, just in time to meet Li Qianniang and her personal maid going out to board the car.A gust of wind blew by, and the veils of the curtains and veils fluttered up, revealing their faces faintly.

Xu Tian was much calmer at this time, and motioned for Sun Rong to continue following the green curtain car with him, to see where they planned to go in the future.Sun Rong glanced back at the small restaurant indiscriminately, showing some embarrassment.Afterwards, Xu Tian Xu said a few good words, and the two left Yong'an Square one after another.

Wang Zixian saw it, and after making a gesture to the trilogy hidden nearby, he left the place gracefully.When he straddled his horse, Cao Silang came back with a food box: "Let's go to Prince Pu's Mansion." Now that everything has gone according to plan, he doesn't have to pay too much attention to what will happen next.The most important thing right now is to seize the opportunity to get along with Li Hui and cherish the time we can be together.

In Prince Pu's mansion, Li Hui once again welcomed his best friend, Prince Xian.Perhaps it was because the funeral was not long after that, his expression was still gloomy and his mood was very low.Wang Zixian didn't say much, just let him taste the sweetness of the sky, and silently accompanied him to practice calligraphy.Until the night was dark, Li Huifang calmed down a little bit, and looked at his friend's words: "It's not as sharp as before, it's more rounded, but the strokes seem a little fierce..."

"It's not yet determined, but I'm telling you a joke." The prince offered, "The so-called handwriting is like a person. If you are emotionally unstable, it will naturally be revealed in the handwriting. You might as well look at your handwriting. Is the handwriting a lot heavier?"

Li Hui compared the words of the two men seriously, nodded and said: "After writing so many big characters, my mood has indeed stabilized a lot, and the words before and after have changed a lot. It seems that relying on calligraphy to stabilize the mood is indeed very important. it works."

"If you have been in a bad mood, let's go to the temple another day? Listen to the stories of the Buddhist scriptures and see the pious guests. Maybe it will be better." Wang Zixian said again.During the national mourning period, it is inconvenient to enjoy the scenery, and it is not suitable to participate in any banquet to relax.Only by going for a walk in the monastery can people not be caught in the gap.

"That's not the case. I just miss my grandfather and grandmother a little bit." Li Hui smiled helplessly, "Although the old man has passed away, what matters is the future. But during the national mourning, I hope I can be as pure as possible. Said Come on, you probably don't know the current situation in the palace... Before my grandfather died, he planned to let us all go to fief, but my uncle firmly refused and wanted us to stay in Chang'an. You can imagine the ups and downs in the future."

Wang Zixian was slightly taken aback, and naturally asked many details about that time, and Li Hui knew everything without hesitation.

After the two talked for a long time, the night was already dark, so Li Hui asked to stay: "Stay overnight? This time, you shouldn't rush back to play chess with Mr. Song, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Zixian raised the corner of his mouth: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
