Wanqingsi

Chapter 122
Beijing.

It was almost dusk, and the carriage of the Hou's Mansion slowly drove into the gate of the city. I opened the curtains and looked out. The capital, which I had been away for nearly a year, was still so prosperous, noisy, and prosperous. Who knew that under this bustling, once What kind of ugliness has been hidden?
As I expected, it was late autumn when we arrived in Beijing.The sprain on my foot has been healed, and Yunde's injury has also healed. After the mine accident in Tieshan County was resolved that day, Yun Zheng and I continued to board the boat. some affairs.After the incident in Tieshan County, I found that whether it was Yun Tianchang or Yun Tianhai who saw me later, their attitudes towards me had changed. They were less disapproving and more respectful. The questions were all answered in detail, and some of my suggestions were readily accepted by them.

"What are you looking at?" Yun Zheng held my hand, I turned my head, leaned into his arms, smiled and shook my head.Yun Zheng said softly, "Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired." I leaned on his shoulder and held his hand, "Yun Zheng, are we going to the palace today..."

"Don't be so anxious, it will take two days to settle down." Yun Zheng smiled and said softly, "Ye'er, don't be nervous..."

Are you nervous?Not necessarily.I smiled lightly and closed my eyes.

The carriage stopped and we were home.Yun Yi, the steward of the mansion, was waiting at the pier to pick us up early. When we got out of the car, we saw the mansion door was wide open, and there was a row of servants standing at the door.The mansion of the Marquis of Yongle in the capital city is not as big as the mansion in Cangdu, so it might be necessary to hide at the foot of the emperor to avoid his edge.Yun Zheng took my hand and walked in, the servants didn't look sideways, I smiled, the servants of Yongle Hou Mansion have seen the world after all.

"Sister Ahua..." Jinsha got off another carriage and threw herself in front of me. I smiled and took her hand.She had lived in Cangdu Yunfu for a while, but she wasn't as curious about everything as when she first arrived in Cangdu.Yunzheng was holding me, I was holding her, and when we walked in together, a thought suddenly popped up, when Yunzheng and I had a cute child like Jinsha, it would be great.Thinking of this, his face felt a little hot for no reason.

After entering the mansion and sitting in the main hall, Yun Zheng asked all the servants to come to see me. I said a few polite words and asked Ning'er to send down the prepared reward. After a long time of tossing, the meeting was finally over.After sending the servants away, Yun Zheng smiled and said to me: "Do you want to take a stroll in the mansion?"

"Are you afraid that I will get lost?" My face was a bit embarrassed. I had lost my way in Yongle Hou's Mansion in Cangdu before. Yun Zheng knew about it and didn't make fun of me. It's like remembering the way.

He just laughed, and my heart burned, I got up and walked in front of him: "No need, what's the rush just now, I have plenty of time to go shopping in the future."

"Then I'll ask Xiner to prepare hot water for a bath." Yun Zheng held my hand, I blinked, and he hurriedly said, "I'll ask Xiner to take Yunze to prepare."

I laughed out loud.Seeing that Yunze and Xin'er who were standing on the side also had a smile on their faces.Yunze was a 14-year-old boy who we bought when we inspected the property in Fengyang Mansion. He was only [-] years old. His real name was Li Yuan. Yun Zheng gave him the name Yunze.I saw that the child was handsome, careful and calm, so I asked him to be Yun Zheng's personal servant.Yunzheng didn't have any servants before, and all his affairs were handled by the maids. They said that he was weak, and boys were careless, with rough hands and feet, and they were afraid that the service would not be careful.But later, when I realized that even the bathing was done by the maid, I changed my mind, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, until I met Yunze.

I put my lips next to his ear, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Honey, don't you want me to wash it for you?"

Before, I snatched all the work from Ninger Xiner, as long as it involved taking a bath, they were not allowed to intervene, so that people secretly laughed at me as a jealous jar.

Yun Zheng laughed, with a rare hint of pink on his face.I smiled narrowly and held Jinsha's hand: "Just kidding, I'm going to have a water fight with Jinsha, you can take it easy."

Seeing Yunzheng staring at me angrily and funny, I ran out leading Jinsha with a "haha".Every single courtyard in the Hou Mansion has a bathing pool, which is bigger and more magnificent than the Chu Shang’s private bathing pool I have seen in the backyard of the Yihong Building, and it can be used as a small swimming pool.Every time I take a bath, I feel that it is a waste of water resources, but I have to admit that I really enjoy it, Ye Haihua, you vain fake environmentalist.Yun Zheng can't enjoy such a bath, every time he takes a bath, he takes a bath in a wooden barrel, soaking in the medicated bath that Mr. Fu prepared for him.Every time he takes a bath, he has a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine on his body. Fortunately, the smell is not strong, so I, who feel sick when I smell Chinese medicine, gradually get used to the smell.

After playing with Jinsha in the bathtub for a long time, the little one was tired, so I asked Xiner to help her clean up and take her to the room to rest.I continued to soak in the bathtub, the hot water was very comfortable, and tiredness hit me a little bit, I closed my eyes, leaned against the pool and fell asleep.I actually had a dream, dreaming that I became a mermaid, swimming gracefully in the sea, my whole body glowed faintly, and colorful tropical fish played around me, suddenly, a shark swam over silently , Opening my bloody mouth wide, I exclaimed "ah", and opened my eyes suddenly.I poured a sip of water into my mouth, only to realize that my body had slipped into the water and submerged the top of my head.I was startled, so I quickly sat up straight and broke out of the water.

I don't know how long I was submerged, if I was not awakened by a dream, I would not know if I drowned.I was afraid for a while, patted my chest, lowered my head and took a breath.

But he was startled, and found a ball of light shining on his chest, blue, as pale as the light on the mermaid's body in the dream.He put his hand on his neck and touched the black dragon jade, and found that the light was coming from the black dragon jade.My heart tightened, and I was ecstatic again, how could it shine?This piece of jade has been worn on my body for so long, and there has never been any abnormality, except for the strange movement made by Luang Po's spell in the prison.Could it be that Ming Yan has news?I held the jade and whispered Mingyan's name in my heart, Mingyan, is it you, do you have any news?Then you..., will you come tonight?

The light gradually faded, and the black dragon jade returned to its original state.I didn't want to take a bath anymore, I got up to dry myself, put on my bathrobe, and stepped out of the bathroom.The bathroom room is next to Yun Zheng and I's bedroom. Yun Zheng is already in the room, leaning on the soft couch with a book, it seems that I have slept for a while.Seeing me coming out, he put down the book: "What's wrong? You have such a strange face?"

"Really?" I touched my face and smiled, "It must have been soaked for a long time."

"Why don't you dry your hair?" Yun Zheng stood up, took a towel, pulled me to sit in front of the dressing table, and rubbed my hair for me.I let him fiddle with me, closing my eyes like a cat.He changed a few towels before drying my hair half dry, and then picked up the comb on the comb to help me comb my hair. The movements were very gentle and careful, first smoothing the ends of the hair, then the middle, and finally from the top of the head Get down and straighten your hair.

I like this time, his gentle fingers run through my black hair, it always reminds me of Jacky Cheung's "My Hand Through Your Black Hair", but I don't like the second half of the lyrics.Yunzheng and I will last forever. I believe that until our hair is all gray, he will still comb, tie and tie hairpins for me.

"What are you humming?" Yun Zheng put down his comb and looked at me in the mirror.When I regained my senses, I found myself humming the song involuntarily. I turned around from the stool and looked at him: "Hum the song, let me sing it to you, okay?"

He squatted down with a smile, I stretched out my hand to hook his neck, and hummed the previous few lines softly:
your hand through my dark hair,

Your eyes that pass through my mood,

Such and such deep feelings are like clouds and smoke in the blink of an eye,

I don't understand why the sea turns into a mulberry field.

Your hand that holds my helpless hands,

Your eyes that light up my gray eyes,

If the cold world we live in remains difficult to change,
At least I still have your face that dissolves ice and snow...

Yun Zheng stared at me with a smile, his eyes were as clear as a pool of clear springs, after I sang these two verses, I looked into his eyes and called softly: "Yun Zheng..."

"Silly girl..." He sighed softly and kissed my lips, "Don't be afraid, don't worry..."

My eyes became hot, Yun Zheng, what do you actually understand?What am I afraid of, what am I worried about? I am afraid that if I am too happy, God will be jealous. I am afraid that I will not be able to grasp happiness and let it leave me again and again.

He let go of my lips: "Don't think about it, let's go eat."

Then I remembered that it was dinner time.I quickly went behind the screen to change my bathrobe, my hair was still a little wet, I grabbed my hair and walked out: "Yun Zheng, your hair is not dry yet."

He came over and helped me cut my hair: "Leave it loose, I like to see you with your hair covered."

I laughed, he took my hand and went out. After walking for a while, he found that he was heading outside the gate, and said in surprise, "Yun Zheng, don't I eat at home?"

"I'll take you to a place to eat." Yun Zheng led me out of the gate, the carriage was waiting outside, and Yun Qian Yun Xun Yun Kun Yun Gen guarded the carriage.Since the assassination incident in Tieshan County, the Eighteen Iron Guards have been more cautious and followed closely.

It was already dark, and the carriage walked on the street for a while before stopping.After getting out of the car, I found that it was not a busy street. Yun Zheng ordered the carriage to stay where it was and waited, but led me to an alley beside the street. The four iron guards also followed, but kept a distance. It was also Yun Zheng's order.

"Where are we going?" I asked curiously, what kind of restaurant would be hidden in such a back alley?Yun Zheng smiled and raised his head to signal that I just saw a bustling noodle stall at the street corner ahead. The boss's business seems to be very good, and several tables are full of people.I was surprised: "Will you bring me to eat noodles?"

"Yeah." Seeing my surprised expression, Yun Zheng was not in a hurry for me to answer my doubts, and just led me over.I looked at this noodle stall in surprise. It seemed to be the most ordinary noodle stall. It was supported by a canopy. , with kneaded dough and a few simple seasonings.There were five tables on the side, and four of them were full.Standing under the canopy was a young man, dressed as an ordinary person, with a very ordinary appearance, the kind of appearance that would be lost immediately if thrown in the crowd.When he saw Yun Zheng and me coming, his expression didn't change, but there seemed to be a gentle smile in his eyes.

"You're here." The man's eyes fell on Yunzheng's hand holding me, and he slightly hooked his lips.

"Yeah. Two bowls of Yangchun noodles." Yun Zheng didn't say much, and led me straight to the innermost empty table.The man started to knead the dough, shaking, wringing, and shaking, and the dough quickly turned into thin noodles like dragon whiskers. I was fascinated by his performance, and my heart was full of doubts.Yun Zheng and him seem to know each other, and it seems that they have come here to eat noodles more than once, but how could Yun Zheng know him?It's weird to think about it, the son of the Yongle Hou Mansion, who grew up in rich clothes and fine food, would go to a simple noodle stall in a small alley to eat noodles.From this moment on, I feel that the capital also has interesting things.
