The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 278 Feng Rongruo Goes to Dahua

"My lord, don't you still want to go back to Fengnan? At that time, Miss Tang told you to go back to live in Tangjia Village. You lived there when you were a child. If you go back, Miss Tang and Miss Tang's family will definitely be happy. Neither will you, Mr. Tang." You will be so lonely." The person who spoke was the Broken Soul of Yuan Zhuge, who had restored his original name, Jiang Yuan, and said to the young master Jiang Xi who was sitting opposite him.

It turned out that at that time on the cliff of Zhuhun Pavilion, Tang Dai couldn't bear to look at Axi's lonely back, so she begged Feng Rongruo to release Broken Soul Jiang Yuan, who had been serving Axi all along, and let him chase after Axi And go, to accompany and protect him.

"Jiangyuan, what can I do if I go back to Fengnan? What I have experienced with the little girl, I can never go back to the past. I have no face to see her, and she is also blaming me in her heart. Hey..." Ah Xi sighed tone.

"My lord, if Miss Tang really blamed you, she wouldn't let me go after letting you go, and let me serve and accompany you. I know that because of the madam and the pavilion master, you got caught in the middle and got hurt. , you feel sad, but you are still young, so you can't hide in this deep mountain for the rest of your life, right?!"

"Let me think about it again." Ah Xi still didn't nod her head in agreement, and Jiang Yuan didn't persuade him any more. He had already persuaded him many times, but the young master still didn't agree to go back, so he had to wait for him to figure it out.

Three days later, Feng Rongruo came to the General's Mansion, and went to Shangguan Mansion as a matchmaker for Zheng Guo. Tang Dai had nothing to do, so she also accompanied him to Shangguan Mansion. Anyway, she went to play with Shangguan Mingzhu, and let the matchmaker He went to talk to Lord Shangguan, and Lord Shangguan agreed, but it was just a formality.

After the two entered the Shangguan Mansion, Feng Rongruo went to see Shangguan Yu, while Tang Dai went to the backyard to find Shangguan Pearl.When Shangguan Mingzhu saw that Tang Dai was coming, she greeted her happily, and first took Tang Dai to Mrs. Huang's courtyard for follow-up consultation on Mrs. Huang's illness. Tang Dai got her pulse and everything was fine. After taking Tang Dai's medicine, she never had a bad smell, but she didn't relax her treatment. She always followed Tang Dai's requirements, bathed frequently, and changed her clothes frequently.For the food that Tang Dai said she couldn't eat, she also tried not to eat it or to eat less.She is still taking the medicine she prescribed.

"Everything is normal, very good, and I'm relieved." Tang Dai put down her hand to feel the pulse, and nodded to Mrs. Huang and Shangguan Mingzhu.

"Thank you, county lord. If it wasn't for you, how could I have a good life now, my Pearl and Xing'er are going to suffer." Mrs. Huang was in a good mood when she heard that there was nothing wrong, and she said another word of gratitude.

"Haha... Mrs. Huang, my illness is not treated for nothing. You have to pay someone to my family for the cure! Sister Shangguan, right?" Tang Dai laughed.

"County Master..." Shangguan Mingzhu stamped her feet shyly.

"Haha... The county lord is really straightforward." Mrs. Huang also laughed at Tang Dai's joke.

"Hee hee, sister Shangguan, don't be shy, I'm serious, Mr. Feng is going to find Mr. Shangguan."

"Is Feng Shizi here?" Mrs. Huang was overjoyed when she heard that, she never expected that the Shangguan government would place such high value on her daughter that they even sent someone from the royal family to be a matchmaker.

"Well, the two of us came together. I stopped by to check on Mrs. Huang's body and Sister Shangguan. We will go back in a while."

"Aren't you going to have lunch here before going back? You and Mrs. Feng have lunch together before leaving, otherwise, I'll be very sorry." Mrs. Huang hurriedly left Tang Dai for dinner.

"No, Mrs. Huang, there will be opportunities in the future, mainly because Prince Feng is busy and he has a lot of things to do."

As soon as Mrs. Huang heard that Prince Feng was busy, she didn't force her to stay. It is already very remarkable that Prince Feng came to the government in such a busy schedule. Qianjun asked him to come, but he may not be able to come.

Sure enough, Tang Dai went back to Shangguan Mingzhu's courtyard, chatted and laughed with her for a while, and the servants of Shangguan's mansion came to tell Tang Dai that Prince Feng was leaving and waited for her at the gate of the mansion. Tang Dai went to Shangguan Mingzhu After leaving, he sat back in Feng Rongruo's carriage and returned to the General's Mansion.

"The matchmaker is ready?" Tang Dai, who got into the carriage, just touched the stool with her buttocks, and said with a narrow smile to Feng Rongruo.

"You! You still laugh at me when you do things for you. I'm a matchmaker, can't I be a good matchmaker? I've already become your full-time matchmaker." Feng Rongruo looked helplessly at the smile on Tang Dai's face, and then said arrogantly.

"That is, the famous Feng Shizi of our Fengnan country is a matchmaker, that would make people happy, how dare they not agree to the marriage." Tang Dai began to flatter.

"Heh..." Feng Ruorong chuckled softly, looking at Tang Dai's cute appearance, her eyes showed affection, she stretched out her finger and scratched her small nose, which made Tang Dai's face wrinkle.

Feng Rongruo sent Tang Dai to the gate of the General's Mansion, watched her enter the mansion, and then returned to Prince An's Mansion. The attitude and words of Shangguanyu, the left prime minister, had already been told to Tang Dai, and she just went back and conveyed it. Let the general's mansion choose a date, and formally send a matchmaker to the Shangguan mansion to ask for his name.

After Tang Dai returned to the mansion, she and her family conveyed Shangguanyu's attitude, and Mrs. Wang was so happy that she was ready to recruit a matchmaker to formally propose marriage to Shangguan mansion.

The next day was Princess Feng Feiwu's birthday, Tang Dai prepared gifts according to the preferences of the masters of Hengwang's mansion, and took Xiaoqing and Shi Xian to Hengwang's mansion.

After coming back in the evening, the family sat down to eat together. Both Zheng Bai and Zheng Guo looked unhappy and remained silent. Tang Dai looked at the two of them, feeling a little strange.

"Daddy, brother, what happened to you two today? I don't think you two are happy?"

"The emperor announced the candidate for the right minister today. He was a person that no one had thought of. There was an uproar in the court, but the emperor was very persistent and didn't listen to everyone's opinions. We will officially issue a decree to seal the prime minister tomorrow!" Zheng Guohui Tang Dai.

"Who is it? What does it have to do with us? It makes you and daddy unhappy."

"It's the husband of your friend in Chang'an County. It is said that he is the youngest son of the former right minister Wei Zhong who was lost and found when he was a child. His original name was Yan Ping, but now he is called Wei Yuanping."

"He? No way! Hey, big brother, daddy, that's not right, why did the emperor let someone sit on the right chancellor so casually? The emperor is not such a foolish person. Does Yan Ping have the qualifications to be prime minister?"

"It's not that the emperor is confused. I heard that Wei Yuanping has a reputation for raising people, and someone recommended him to the emperor. The emperor read his article and thought he had the talent to be a prime minister. He said yes. Specifically, how can we courtiers do it To be clear, Prince Feng did not speak out today."

"Since this is the case, elder brother and father don't have to think about it so much. The emperor has the emperor's consideration. As long as their Wei mansion and our general's mansion do not interfere with the river, we will ignore them. If they dare to harm our general's mansion, we will You're not a vegetarian, are you? Come on, daddy, big brother, eat vegetables, don't get upset about those irrelevant people."

Tang Dai persuaded her father and elder brother, but she thought to herself, the person recommended by him could not be Prince Heng?What is the relationship between Wei Mansion and Prince Heng?When she went to the princess's birthday party today, she saw Yan Ping from a distance, and avoided seeing him because she didn't like it. At that time, she wondered why Yan Ping went to Hengwang Mansion.

Since Yan Ping entered Beijing last year, he has been very low-key, so low-key that no one else knows that Wei Zhong has a young son who has returned to the mansion, and he took control of the Wei family as soon as he returned to the mansion.I'm afraid this low-key is an appearance, but in fact, she has been working hard in secret all the time, just to ascend to the position of the right minister and become the assistant of the concubine Xian and the second prince.But why the emperor agreed so easily, I'm afraid it has other deep meanings, he probably became a pawn in the emperor's hands, restraining the leftist faction, and maintaining the balance of the court, I don't know it.

Because the left side is the cronies of the crown prince Feng Rongmo, the emperor will not suppress them too much, but he will not let them dominate until Feng Rongmo is unable to control them after he ascends the throne. Alas, it is all the emperor's art of the emperor. .

"Okay, listen to Yue'er, leave them alone, let's eat." Zheng Bai waved his hand, took the chopsticks to eat, and the gloom on his face dissipated.

At this time, in the palace, the lights in the imperial study room were still brightly lit, Feng Qianjun raised his head from the bookcase, and looked at Daoist Yiyun standing in front of the case.

"National teacher, there is news from the Great Hua Kingdom that their emperor will have his birthday next month. Do you think it would be more appropriate for us to send someone to congratulate him?"

Since Yiyun showed his true ability and accurately foreshadowed the natural phenomenon and the earthquake in the south, now Feng Qianjun has no doubts about Yiyun's ability, and even relies on him for some things , Always ask him.Thinking about the earthquake in the south, if it weren't for his accurate prediction, all the people there would have been buried in the earthquake long ago.

"My Majesty, when I think about the important affairs of Fengnan Kingdom, the other party will send either the prince or the prince. I think we must also send the people we value according to what they value."

"Then which one do you think is suitable? The prince wants to study court affairs, so it is not suitable to go now."

"There are two candidates for my minister, one is the second prince Feng Rongye, and the other is Feng Rongruofeng's son Feng Rongruo of Prince An's Mansion. We underestimated them."

"Then how about sending the two of them together?" Feng Qianjun thought for a while.

"Very well, Your Majesty is wise."

"Okay, then it's settled. Just the two of them will go. Tomorrow, I will have someone draw up an order to let them set off in three days. They will travel thousands of miles. If they don't go early, they will not be able to catch up. We will lose the etiquette of our Fengnan Kingdom." .”

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

Old Daoist Yiyun heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally lived up to his master's entrustment, and God helped them. He wanted to find something in the Dahua Kingdom, but he didn't want to have to look for it. Someone had to be sent, and the emperor must have been consulted for sending someone to the emperor. He took the opportunity to make such a recommendation, and it succeeded.

In a small courtyard of the General's Mansion, Tang Yushun is reading at night by candlelight, and in six days it will be the Chunwei exam. He has to seize this last time to read more books, and strive to be a Jinshi this year, so as to live up to the care taken by his younger sister Xiaoniu and help.

After Tang Dai finished her dinner, she asked Xiaoqing to pick up a lantern, and walked to Tang Yushun's small courtyard to illuminate the road ahead. The exam was approaching, just like before the modern college entrance examination. One exam determines fate. She was afraid that he would be too nervous. You have to go and have a look, and you can rest assured if you can enlighten me.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the courtyard door was closed tightly, Xiaoqing knocked on the door, the young servant inside heard the knock and hurriedly opened the door, seeing that it was the eldest lady, he hurriedly let Tang and Dai in.Tang Yushun who was inside also heard the commotion outside, thinking that there was no one else who came this late at night, it must be Sister Xiaoniu who came, and hurriedly walked out of the house.

"Little girl, it's so dark tonight, why are you here, aren't you afraid of falling?"

"It's okay, didn't you pick up a lantern? You're about to enter the arena, I'm not at ease, so I came to see you. How do you feel? Don't you feel flustered?"

"Heh... I'm a little nervous, but generally speaking, it's okay. It's not the first time I've entered the arena. This talented person has taken the exam all the way. After several rounds of exams, I feel a little hesitant. It's okay." Tang Yushun replied with a smile Tang Dai.

"That's good. I'm afraid that Brother Jingou is too nervous, so I'm here to persuade you. It seems that you won't need it. However, I have to tell Brother Jingou not to suddenly see it when it comes to entering the arena." It’s very late, I got up very early, and I want to watch more. You still follow the usual appearance, when you wake up, when you go to sleep, and proceed regularly. In fact, it’s only a few days. You can watch as much as you want, as long as If you read the book earlier, you won’t be afraid.”

"Understood, little girl, I listen to you, go to bed on time, get up on time. Listen to what you say, it's always right." Tang Yushun nodded seriously.

"Well, you are about to enter the stage. Your grandfather, Uncle Zhuzi, and Aunt Osmanthus are probably more anxious at home than you. After you came to the capital, did you go to write a letter?"

"I've done it twice, tell them what happened to me after I came here, so they don't have to worry, I'll try my best to win the Jinshi."

"Okay, then you can continue to watch the meeting, go to bed early, and I won't bother you. In the past few days, if you want to eat something, just tell the person who serves you and ask him to go to the kitchen and tell the kitchen staff to cook it. After a while, I also greeted them to ensure that your body is nourished and that you will not get sick before and after entering the stadium."

"I see, I've bothered your family for so long, why should I be polite?"

"That's right, treat this place like home, then I'll go." Tang Dai left the yard, and before she left the yard, she told the servant to take good care of Mr. Tang, and not to neglect anything.

But Tang Wangwang's family in Tangjia Village was excited and happy when they received Tang Yushun's letter. They knew that the little girl was grateful, but they didn't expect that even after returning to the general's mansion, her heart would remain the same, and she would take care of the village as usual. The person who took care of Tang Yushun actually let him live in the General's Mansion.

With trembling hands, Tang hoped to tell Li Guihua and Tang Zhuzi his beliefs. After reading, he said that when Jingou met Tang Dai, he met a very noble person. Not only did he save his life, it happened the second day Jingou entered Beijing He was taken into the general's mansion, a small courtyard was set up alone, and servants were sent to wait on him. Even Feng Shizi took a look at the little girl's face and found valuable information for his grandson. He really thanked the Bodhisattva, thanked the little girl, and thanked Feng Shizi what.

The happy Tang hoped to prepare incense and paper money offerings again, went to his wife's grave, and talked to his wife for a long time, crying and laughing, saying that he finally got out of it, his son's health has improved a lot, and now he is doing it in the workshop. Work, income is good, can support the grandson to study.And the grandson was even more upbeat, and won the exam as soon as he took the exam. Now he has the help of nobles in the Jinshi exam in the capital.

After Tang Zhuzi heard the letter, he managed the affairs of the workshop more meticulously than the workshop at home. He went early every day and returned late every day. , never went wrong.

Li Guihua made something delicious at home, and she always brought it to Tang Dai's house, and brought it to Li Shi to taste, and chatted with Li Shi, talking about her heart, saying that she was just soft-hearted back then, and she looked at Li Shi. She was married in a village, and it was pitiful to pull four children. She took care of their family a little within her own ability, but she didn't expect that she gave up sesame seeds to get watermelon, and got such great help from Li's little girl , all benefiting the children and grandchildren.

Not to mention how relieved and grateful Tang Dai was for Tang Yushun's care after Tang Yushun's family received Tang Yushun's letter.In the capital city, on the morning of the second day, Emperor Feng Qianjun issued two imperial edicts. The first one was to appoint Wei Yuanping of the Wei Mansion as the right chancellor, praising him for his talents in the world and the sky, and that he was enough to be the right chancellor. Lift up half the sky above the court.

The second imperial decree was issued to Feng Rongruo and the second prince Feng Rongye, ordering them to go to Dahua Kingdom with gifts from Fengnan Kingdom three days later to congratulate the emperor of Dahua Kingdom on his longevity. The two are royal children, can take on this important task.

Feng Rongruo was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down to accept the order, and Feng Rongye was not mentally prepared, after a while, seeing Feng Rongruo knelt down, he knelt down and received the order.

After the morning court, Feng Rongruo walked out of the palace gate, got into the carriage, thought for a while, and asked Chu Mo to drive the carriage to the general's mansion. The country of Great China is traveling thousands of miles, and it may take several months to come and go. The shortest is more than two months, and the longest is three months. He has to bid farewell to the little girl.

In Tang Dai's courtyard, Tang Dai, who was sitting in front of Feng Rongruo, reacted as Feng Rongruo expected, staring at him with a pair of clear red phoenix eyes, that expression, which was ever-changing, reflected complex emotions.After a long time, the little girl couldn't hold back any longer, she pursed her mouth, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

"Feng Rongruo, I... I don't want you to go. Da Hua Country is so far away. I don't want to leave you after you have been away for a few months." Tang Dai threw herself into Feng Rongruo's arms, choking and sobbing.

She didn't want Feng Rongruo to leave her for too long. She was in Tangjia Village and he was in the capital. The two were used to staying away. Since she lived in the capital, she and Feng Rongruo often met, and she was also used to seeing him often. This suddenly took several months, and she was reluctant to part with it.

"Girl, I don't want to go either, but this time the emperor directly issued an order in the hall without my consent. The sacred order is hard to violate, so I don't want to go. What's more, the second prince is going with me this time. I want to go." Dare to say no, wouldn't it give them a chance to criticize me and the prince?!"

"Oh... I don't care, I just don't want you to go, I don't want you to leave me."

Tang Dai nested in Feng Rongruo's arms, Feng Rongruo's heart was almost crushed, sore, how could he be willing to leave the girl for so long? !He enjoys the honor of the status given to him by the royal family, and he has to take responsibility for this status. He understands the emperor's arrangement. If he does not go this time, His Royal Highness, his younger brother Feng Rongmo will have to go.

Tang Dai cried for a long while, her eyes became those of a little white rabbit, before she stopped.No matter how gentle Feng Rongruo coaxed her, kissed her, and assured her that he would return to Fengnan as quickly as possible, Tang Dai reluctantly agreed, and asked him when he was going to leave, saying that he would arrive At that time, she went to the city gate to see him off.

Three days later, Feng Rongruo and Feng Rongye set off with a gift prepared for the emperor of the Great Hua Kingdom, as well as their entourage and guard soldiers. Tang Dai stood on the city gate and watched Feng Rong Ruo rode a horse, walked in front of the team, and went out of the city gate to go to the Great Hua Kingdom. As soon as Feng Rongruo, who was riding on the horse, turned around, he found the small figure standing on the city gate. She waved her hand responsibly, telling her not to send it anymore, but to go back.

Tang Dai also waved at Feng Rongruo, until the white figure disappeared, and a long team also left her sight, but they didn't leave, and stood blankly on the city gate for a long time without moving.

"Miss, let's go back." Xiaoqing persuaded Tang Dai.

"..." Tang Dai didn't respond, but nodded listlessly, got out of the city gate, got into the carriage, and returned to the General's Mansion.

In the next few days, the laughter disappeared in Tang Dai's Liufengbiyueyuan. Tang Dai went to Tang Yushun's small courtyard to care about his situation and told his servants to take good care of him. Reading in her room, thinking of Feng Rongruo.

Three days later, Tang Yushun also entered the arena, and Tang Dai cheered up and prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, food, and a change of clothes for him.

After Tang Yushun finished the exam, Tang Dai also gradually came out of the lost mood and ran to Zhuangzi. The land deed of Zhuangzi had been arranged for her before Feng Rongruo left, and Tang Dai paid the remaining gold to her. Feng Rongruo asked him to transfer it to Zhuangzi's steward. In the end, she didn't know it, because Feng Rongruo was afraid that she would not accept it. She understood her character and knew that she would definitely not want this Zhuangzi to give to her. That's why she let the steward. He came forward and sold the best Zhuangzi under his name to her at a low price.

In the middle, he took Tang Yushun, who was waiting for Chunwei to release the list, to visit his grandpa Wang Dashi at the Grand Scholars' Mansion. If Tang Yushun was selected as a Jinshi, he should be able to find an official position in the court. With the guidance of his grandfather, he would be able to Get twice the result with half the effort.

Time flies so fast, on this day, Tang Dai came back from Zhuangzi, and was teaching Xiaowu and Xiaoliu in her courtyard to study poisonous art, when Shi Xian came in to report, saying that a servant from the Tang residence outside the residence had come to invite the county magistrate. During a visit to the Tang Mansion, Ning Weiyu, the eldest mistress of the Tang Mansion, is about to suffer from a stomachache. Only Mrs. Wen is there, and Master Tang feels uneasy.

When Tang Dai heard this, she hurriedly packed her medical kit, hurriedly let Xiaoqing get into the carriage, and hurried to the Tang Mansion on a flying horse.Because of Tang Hua's dystocia, Tang Dai was very anxious. She was afraid that something might happen to Ning Weiyu, and the servant who came to report couldn't explain the situation clearly, so she had to urge Xiaoqing to hurry up the carriage.

"Miss, don't worry, this is not far from the road to the Tang Mansion, if you go too fast, it will be dangerous." Xiaoqing comforted Tang Dai, knowing that she had lingering fears because of Tang Hua's affairs.

"..." Sitting in the car, Tang Dai pursed her lips tightly. She didn't go back to Xiaoqing, and she couldn't let go of seeing that her sister-in-law, mother and child were safe.

In just one stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Tang Mansion, Tang Dai jumped off the carriage, Xiaoqing also threw the horse rope to the servants of the Tang Mansion, took the medical box, and the master and servant hurried to Walking in the mansion, Tang Feng, who was running around in a hurry, came to the gate of the mansion to see if his sister had arrived.

"Little girl, you're here! Quick, quick...your sister-in-law is dying of pain. Oh, what should I do? What should I do?" When Tang Feng saw Tang Dai, he was pleasantly surprised and asked her in confusion.

"Brother, don't worry, it's normal for a woman to have a stomachache during childbirth, as long as it goes well, let's go, let me take a look." Tang Dai looked at her elder brother, amused and worried.

At this time, other people's families have their parents by their side, but the eldest brother has no one to ask. It is normal to be anxious. If I knew it earlier, I should have asked my mother Li to come to the capital earlier.

At this time, Feng Rongruo and Feng Rongye had been traveling for half a month on the official road from Fengnan Country to Fengbei Country, but they still hadn't left the boundary of Fengnan Country.

Feng Rongruo was dressed in white and sat on a horse. Even in such a stormy environment, she was still spotless, tall and tall, with the mountain wind blowing, her black hair flew up, and her beauty was not diminished.

After walking through this section of the official road, there is a mountain road. Not far away are towering mountains, and the road is dangerous and difficult.

"Brother, look at the weather, there are dark clouds rolling over, there may be heavy rain soon, and the mountain road ahead is difficult, do you want to find a town to rest and wait for the heavy rain to pass before leaving?" Feng Rongye rode up to Feng Rongruo and asked him.

"This place is in the wilderness, there is no village in front of you, no store in back, how can you find the town? If you wait to find it, you will also delay your journey on the road. If you can't keep up with the longevity of Emperor Fengbei, wouldn't it be rude of me, Fengnan?" Feng Rong Ruo glanced at Feng Rongye lightly and said.
