The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 327

"are you doing okay?"

The spring breeze is blowing and the sun is warm.

Liu Wei didn't get an answer, because Guan Qingyi was a dumb girl, she couldn't speak, she just kept nodding, as if to let Liu Wei know that she was doing well.

But Liu Wei knew very well that she was not doing well at all.

After a long time, Liu Wei and Guan Qingyi entered behind the steamed stuffed bun shop. Chu Xikuang hesitated for a moment, but he followed in. He felt that there must be a story in it. He was not curious, but he wanted to see it.

The backyard is very quiet and clean, and there are even a few sporadic flowers blooming in the spotless courtyard.

"Where's your father?" Liu Wei didn't see Guan Qingyi's father, so he was very curious.

And when Liu Wei asked this question, Guan Qingyi's eyes suddenly became moist, and a sad melancholy swept over him, making people feel breathless for a moment.

Liu Wei had a very bad premonition. At this time, Chu Xikuang stepped forward: "Master Liu, Boss Guan passed away half a year ago. He was in poor health when he came to Chang'an."

Liu Wei was silent, he knew that something in the capital must have caused Guan Qingyi's father to be in poor health.

And Liu Wei knew that Guan Qingyi was really a helpless person now.

After a long time, he said to Guan Qingyi: "I will take care of you. After Chang'an is done, I will take you back to the capital. No one will bully you in the future."

Guan Qingyi raised her head slightly to look at Liu Wei, she had a happy expression on her face, but she wanted to hide it, but she obviously couldn't hide it very well.

After settling down in Tsing Yi, Liu Wei finally left.

He wants to take care of Tsing Yi not to sell buns anymore. In such a place, she can't speak up and is easy to be bullied. After he asked Guan Tsing Yi like this, he said to Chu Xikuang: "Her safety is up to you." Here it is, if he suffers any grievances, I can't spare you."

At this moment, Liu Wei didn't regard Chu Xikuang as a friend, his words had a smell of orders, Chu Xikuang was a little uncomfortable, but he quickly complied. In fact, Chu Xikuang knew long ago that he and Liu Wei had no relationship Not at the same level, even if Liu Wei sometimes acts like a friend to him, it's just like a friend.

After returning to the palace from the street, Liu Wei speeded up the writing of the story, and found Li Buyi to familiarize him with the outline of the story and how to tell it. I already have a general understanding of the story of the section and can tell it proficiently, and I can cut it into sections and stop at the most attractive place.

After that, Liu Wei took him to the restaurant opened by Liu Family Winery in Chang'an City, the largest restaurant in Chang'an City, Liu Family Restaurant.

The business of the Liu Family Restaurant is very good, with people coming and going every day, and after Li Buyi started telling stories, the business here is even better. The restaurant is even more popular. Every day after the story is over, those drinkers will spread the story everywhere, how beautiful the story is, and how the plot of the story is.

And just two days after the story was told, a woman in her thirties was tending flowers and plants in a courtyard in Chang'an City. At this time, a girl of seventeen or eighteen came in with a smile. The woman stepped forward and held the woman's arm: "Mother, you are not in good health, so don't do these things, just leave it to the servants."

The woman smiled and shook her head: "Ling'er, our mother and daughter are living in other people's homes, how can we use their servants again? Mother, I don't want you to lose your sense of propriety and be laughed at by others."

After the girl heard the woman's words, she responded again and again: "What Mother said is that my daughter will be careful in the future." Speaking of this, the girl suddenly smiled and said: "Mother, there are people in Chang'an who are telling stories recently. , But it’s so touching, Senior Brother Du Gui listens to it every day, and every time he returns to the clinic, he tells his daughter, how about my daughter explaining it to her mother to relieve her boredom?"

The woman showed kindness on her face, and said: "Mother doesn't like listening to stories, those stories are too fake, so Mother likes to take care of these flowers and plants quietly."

The girl was a little disappointed. She knew that her mother didn't like listening to stories, but she just wanted to tell something interesting to make her mother happy. For a young girl like her, tending flowers and plants was too boring, and she More than once, I saw my mother shed tears while tending flowers and plants.

"Mother, just listen to it. I won't tell you any bad words in the future." Ling'er shook the woman's arm, almost acting like a spoiled child.

The woman showed a slight smile, and she didn't want her daughter to be sad because of this, so she nodded: "Okay, okay, tell me, mother just listen."

Linger was overjoyed, and then told the story she had heard. The story mainly told the story of how a general rescued a civilian girl and escorted her home, interspersed with the changes in their feelings and minds.

At first, the woman listened very casually, but after she slowly heard the taste, her face changed, sometimes sad, sometimes relieved, as if thinking of what happened many years ago, the feeling of happiness that she had never had in many years , suddenly rushed to the heart.

Ling'er also noticed that her mother's expression had changed, but she didn't think much about it, she just felt that her mother was moved by the story she told.

post house.

When the story told by the Liu Family Restaurant reached King Jin, King Jin suddenly understood the purpose of Zhao Kuangyin's trip to Chang'an.

Isn't this story about Zhao Jingniang and the emperor?

But did Zhao Kuangyin come to Chang'an really for Zhao Jingniang? Could it be that Zhao Jingniang was in Chang'an?
King Jin was a little puzzled. He didn't think that someone like Zhao Kuangyin would travel long distances to Chang'an City for a daughter.

Perhaps Zhao Kuangyin's real purpose was to let his son supervise the country in the capital, but he thought things too simply. Did King Wu Zhao Dezhao think that after his elders left the capital, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the capital?

Thinking of this, King Jin showed a slight smile, and told his subordinates: "Put on casual clothes tomorrow, and let's go to Liu's Restaurant and listen to the story."

King Jin's subordinate is a young man, about 20 years old, named Wang Man, he is the personal bodyguard of King Jin, and he is good at martial arts, but Su Tongkan didn't follow him. There are many things in the capital that need Su Tongkan to be the abbot in secret Woolen cloth.

After hearing the story from the Liu Family Restaurant, King Wei quickly understood what was going on. Although he was still young when Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Jingniang met more than ten years ago, he knew their affairs very well.

He finally understood that Zhao Kuangyin came to Chang'an to find Zhao Jingniang.

This made him suddenly realize that Zhao Jingniang might be a very important person to Zhao Kuangyin, and if he found Zhao Jingniang before others knew it, wouldn't he have an extra chip in his hand?
After being notified that he needed to drive in Chang'an, King Wei sent people to install people in Chang'an, so after he understood this, he left the post house, found his own people, and told him what he wanted. Those people are good at sniffing out news, and immediately cast the net out after listening.

Chang'an City, somewhere.

A man in white showed a sneer, and the man in black beside him shrugged.

"Brother Bai, do you know Zhao Kuangyin's intention to come to Chang'an?"

The man in white nodded: "Zhao Kuangyin once escorted a woman when he was not emperor, do you know about this?"

"How old was I at that time, how could I know." After the man in black finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the man in white was about the same age as himself, so he asked curiously, "How do you know?"

"Have you forgotten what I did before? I am a royal spy, and I know more about the secret histories of the emperors of various countries than anyone else. I think Zhao Kuangyin's trip to Chang'an may be to find the woman he escorted back then, Zhao Jingniang." .”

"So, if we can find Zhao Jingniang before Zhao Kuangyin, can we use Zhao Jingniang to do something?"

"Exactly, but before finding Zhao Jingniang, there is one thing we might as well try."

The man in black snorted and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Lin Hui, the son of Lin Zegang, the prefect of Chang'an, is a small bully in Chang'an City, and he often bullies men and women. Do you think that if this matter got to Zhao Kuangyin, with Zhao Kuangyin's temperament, would he let Lin Zegang go? "

The man in black frowned slightly: "We only care about killing Zhao Kuangyin and what to do with it. Could it be that your chivalrous heart broke out and you want to eliminate harm for the people?"

The man in white snorted coldly: "I don't have such leisure, I just think that in the current situation in Chang'an City, the more chaotic the better, the more chaotic the better for our assassination, don't you think so?"

The man in black was a little stunned, but still nodded: "That's true, and we might as well make this matter a little bigger..."

The two muttered like this for a while, and after they finished speaking, they couldn't help laughing, and when the two were laughing like this, a servant hurriedly came to report: "Master, you are from the capital. See you, guest."

After hearing the servant's words, the man in black frowned slightly, and said to the man in white: "The guest from the capital is from Zhao Kuangyin, could it be..."

The man in white showed a slight smile, and said: "Brother Hei, don't worry, we have been lurking for seven or eight years, how could people from the court find us? I think it must be something happened to our forces in the capital, so they came to me , you don’t have to worry, brother Hei, please sit here for a while, I’ll come as soon as I go.”

After hearing what the man in white said, the man in black finally felt relieved: "Okay, you go, it's just that what can happen in the capital, our people have always been very peaceful in the capital?"

"Who knows, let's go and see first."
