Chang Anqing

Chapter 136
On this day, the sun was rarely shining brightly. At dusk, the soft winter sun still hangs lazily in the sky, melting the heavy snow accumulated these days bit by bit, revealing the red and frosted snow. There are persimmons, and wintersweets that are as red as the dimple of a drunk girl.The Xingyefang here is buzzing with each other, and it is the time when there is a lot of people. Accompanied by the cries of small vendors, a carriage slowly stops in front of Yipingchang Silk and Satin Workshop. Delicate, with stern eyes, she got out of the car, gently lifted the soft curtain, and another maidservant of about the same age, who looked more dignified, was helping a girl wearing a knee-length veiled hat and a cloak to come out.

After entering the shop, the smart boy in the shop has already stepped forward to greet him, and said warmly and respectfully: "I don't know what this lady wants to see, but we just arrived in the shop yesterday. The goods from the south of the Yangtze River, the fabric is delicate, fresh and elegant , it is the most fashionable place in Chang'an City now, and all the ladies and ladies in the city—”

"My wife heard that you have newly arrived in the Western Regions silk and satin, and is planning to make some Hu clothes for spring, but there are still more?"

Hearing the maid who was supporting the little lady speak out first, the boy immediately smiled and said: "Young lady really has a good eye, and the silks and satins from the Western Regions are really top-grade. We are still suppressing them now, just waiting for the price to increase whoever gets it."

After that, the boy turned sideways quickly, bowed his waist and stretched out his hand, and said, "Lady, please come to the backyard, I will ask our manager to personally select for you."

While talking, the three masters and servants in the workshop followed and walked towards the backyard. When they arrived in a quiet room, the girl who was being served took off the veil and hat, and before walking to the upper seat, they heard the steady and neat voice of the man behind sound.

"The county lord."

Hearing this, Li Sui sat down, looked at the unsmiling Li Wei in front of him, and said gently in his eyes: "Sit down."

"In another seven days, Dongshou's team will leave Chang'an, and I'm here today to explain to you what happened afterwards."

After finishing speaking, Li Sui glanced at Li Wei and said, "You have prepared all the medicine I want."

Hearing the sound, Li Wei immediately got up and stepped forward, took out a palm-sized wooden box from his sleeve, and saw that he removed the pick that was covering it, revealing two pills the size of rice grains.Li Sui glanced sideways at Nian Nu who was beside him, and Nian Nu immediately nodded and took the wooden box over.

"From now on until the matter is completed, Niannu and Yunu will take over with you. This matter must be handled with care. If there is a slight mistake, more than three or two people will be involved—"

Li Sui didn't go any further when he said this, but looked at Li Wei full of entrustment and reliance. Seeing this, Li Wei immediately clasped his fists firmly and said: "This subordinate will definitely complete the task."

After Li Sui personally entrusted the plan to Li Wei, he glanced at the sunset glow outside, then got up and said, "Are you ready for the clothes?"

After the voice fell, Li Wei called softly: "Come in."

In a blink of an eye, a delicate and charming young woman came in with the brocade clothes on the tray in person. Li Sui glanced at the brown-bottomed blouse with beaded beaded patterns on it. She was restrained without losing her identity. Pass.

"After the princess has dressed up, you can use the evening makeup to disguise the princess for a while."

After all, Li Wei retreated with the woman who called for evening makeup. Li Sui was served by Nian Nu and two people to change the shirt. He walked in quickly, saluted Li Sui politely, and then went up to the dressing table and neatly tied Li Sui's hair in a bun, put on the crown, inserted a red gold chi pattern hairpin, and then gently took it off Li Sui's earrings were handed over to Nian Nu, and he took out a thumb-sized transparent film from his sleeve. Somehow, when it was placed on Li Sui's earlobe, it was impossible to see that it was originally worn by his daughter. pierced ears.

Seeing this, Li Sui reached out his hand and stroked his earlobe in a little surprise, really showing nothing strange.

"Is this the disguise technique mentioned in the script?"

Wan Zhuang behind her covered her mouth and smiled lightly, like a trembling flower branch, her voice was even more melodious like an oriole: "Return to Princess, this is the simplest method of disguise."

Li Sui turned his head curiously to the graceful woman behind him and said, "Then what is the most difficult thing?"

Wan Zhuang crossed her hands and gave a salute when she heard the words, and said with a smile under the equally curious eyes of Yu Nu and Nian Nu: "Back to Princess, the most difficult thing is to change the voices of men and women, and pretend to have an Adam's apple that women don't have. Get up, I'm afraid half a day is not enough time."

Speaking of this, Wanzhuang looked at Li Sui with a gentle smile, and the cinnabar beauty mole on the center of her brow was even more charming.

"However, the princess's men's outfit today has a fox fur collar, so there is no need to be so troublesome."

Hearing this, Li Sui looked into the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

When he walked out of the room, he saw a woman standing beside Li Wei with her head hanging down. She was wearing the woman's clothes she just changed. Li Sui glanced sideways at Nian Nu and Yu Nu and said: "You go back to the Duke's mansion from the main gate and wait for me."

Seeing that Niannu and Yunu were still hesitant, Li Wei said: "Don't worry, the two ladies, Wanzhuang's martial arts are among the best among us, and she will pretend to be a maidservant to accompany the princess on a trip later. The people who are here will also secretly protect the princess, and will never let the princess have anything wrong."

Under Li Sui's comfort, Nian Nu and Yu Nu finally retreated, handed the veil hat Li Sui was wearing to the woman, bowed to Li Sui together, and left slowly.

Seeing that dusk has come, the market squares in Chang'an City are gradually lit up with brilliant lights. By the shadow of the lights, bursts of white frost are lingering on the surface of the sparkling pool. It didn't feel deserted, on the contrary, it was extremely lively.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes approached, and under the shadowy lights, a blue silk carriage slowly stopped not far away. The next moment, you can see a tall and straight figure with a restrained expression, wearing a white lynx with blue cloud pattern. The man in the crane cloak walked down silently, his face was as beautiful as jade, and his brows were meaningful, but he had a pair of dark and deep eyes that seemed to be able to see into the world.

When his eyes fell on an inconspicuous boat, he saw a lamp hanging in front of the boat. The lamp was no different, except that it seemed to have a few lines of small characters written on it.

Zhao Yi's eyes moved slightly, and then he glanced at Zong Ming, who was next to him. Zong Ming immediately stepped forward, pretending to look at the other small boats, and asked the price. When he walked to the leaf boat, he saw When the song "Jiang Xue" was written on the silk lantern hanging in front of the boat, I knew it in my heart.

When the master and servant got into the small boat, and before they could tell the destination, the boatman who was punting at the bow had already steered the boat away from the shore steadily.

In this room, Li Sui, dressed in men's attire, is kneeling and drinking tea by the small stove. Although it is a cold night, the three-story painting boat is as warm as spring. The incense has a faint smell of old mountain sandalwood. At this moment, Li Sui feels that he does not seem to be doing business, but seems to be enjoying himself.

Hearing a "squeak" sound, the side door was slowly opened, Li Suixun looked at it, and happened to touch the pair of abyss-like eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Li Suizhi smiled when he saw it, he just put down the teacup in his hand, and turned his palm lightly as a gesture of invitation.Looking at Li Sui who was dressed by a man in front of him, Zhao Yi was not surprised. At this moment, he also entered the room like a gentleman, and sat opposite Li Sui.

"The king of Yuling is safe and sound."

While Li Sui was talking, the evening make-up who was kneeling and serving beside him poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yi like flowing water, then got up gracefully, and glanced at Zong Ming who was standing still behind Zhao Yi, seeming interested refers to.

"Zong Ming—"

Hearing Zhao Yi's soft call, Li Suishi saw that the long attendant behind him was the person who accompanied Zhao Yi on the night of Qixi Festival. At this moment, the long follower naturally understood Zhao Yi's meaning, and immediately crossed his hands and walked towards Zhao Yi A salute, and then another salute to Li Sui.

Li Sui nodded slightly. Seeing the long follower named Huan Zongming leave with Wanzhuang, and when he gently closed the door, he just turned his eyes to look at Zhao Yi in front of him, slightly lifted the cup in his hand and said, "I heard that this time, King Yuling is in the frontier again. The unexpected victory made Long Xin very happy, and I want to hold a banquet for you in Hanyuan Hall, this cup is regarded as a cup of tea instead of wine, as a congratulation."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi met those beautiful eyes that were as beautiful as the vast sea sinking into the lake, and then raised the teacup in his hand, his lips curved slightly and said calmly: "Thank you, Princess."

Just as the two of them drank, the sound of silk and bamboo slowly entered their ears. Zhao Yi followed the sound, but it was separated by a deck, so he knew that what he was going to say next was something that should not be understood by outsiders.

"Thank you Princess for your hospitality today."

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Li Sui put down the teacup with a smile, and then said: "It's serious, I know that the King of Yuling has a lot of things to do every day, and it's rare for him to have such free time today, so I don't want to play charades, so I'll be honest with you."

Hearing this, Zhao Yi also put down the teacup in his hand, and said slowly, "I will listen carefully."

"I don't know if King Yuling still remembers the time when you and I rode the horse Yuqing to watch the back mountain and made a bet."

Hearing this, Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I remember."

"I owe the princess one thing, but the princess said it's okay, I will do my best."

Seeing Zhao Yi's calm expression and steady eyes, Li Sui smiled gently in his eyes, but the next moment he said slowly: "The King of Yuling has never been married, I wonder if he was engaged?"

Zhao Yi raised his eyes when he heard the words, and looked at the smiling girl in front of him with some surprise, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still said: "No."

Li Sui nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, and then asked a question that surprised Zhao Yi.

"Then, there is someone you like."

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became strange. Zhao Yi looked at the girl with a calm face and even a gentle smile in front of him, and then thought about the two inexplicable questions before, and gradually felt a little bit more in his heart. share ideas.

The Yongning princess in front of me, is he trying to make love for him?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi under the shadow of the lamp gradually became calm, as if the twilight moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and his eyes became more alienated and colder. Accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo across the door, Zhao Yi said indifferently: " Thank you Princess for your concern, but the turmoil in the north has not been eliminated, so how can I call it home. In the next half of my life, I have been fighting again and again, living without a fixed place, and I have no intention of marrying a wife, and my daughter's family is wasting time in vain."

Looking at the person in front of him, and hearing the words of refusal similar to those in his previous life, Li Sui couldn't help thinking that when she bestowed the maids for Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi also had the stern and upright look in front of him, but in the end, none of them landed on the ground. All of them are in the mansion, playing silk and bamboo orchestras, drinking and having fun every day.

"King Yuling is indeed loyal to the country, and he is honest and honest."

Speaking of this, Li Sui looked at the human being in front of him and said, "So, my entrustment is a bit embarrassing——"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi was almost certain of his thoughts. There was no trace of turbulence on his face, but he no longer had the gentleness of entering the room: "I don't know what the princess wants, please express it clearly. If I can do something, I will do it." For that, if—”

"Marry me."

Just when Zhao Yi's plain words were halfway through, he suddenly heard two majestic words imprinted on his heart as light as a feather. He couldn't help but look at the person in front of him in shock. At this moment, his eyes are extremely serious.
