marriage gentleman

Chapter 45

"Miss Qi, where are we going now?" Yuan Meng asked.

Yuan Meng is Qi Guang's coachman with excellent skills. He once went to the battlefield and won two military exploits. Later, he lost an eye by accident and retired from then on.Qi Guang appreciated Yuan Meng quite a lot, and went to Yuan Meng's home in person, intending to persuade Yuan Meng to come out of the mountain again, but Yuan Meng was unwilling no matter what.Qi Guang had no choice but to give up.

Yuan Meng felt Qi Guang's sincerity, so he promised Qi Guang to get rid of the affairs of the court. In the future, as long as there is a place that Qi Guang can use, he will do his best and die.Qi Guang admired himself for his foresight, and he saved a lot of mistakes.

Yuan Meng was originally born in the market, but later he joined the army and went to the battlefield. He is tall and tall, with a big knife hanging from his waist. At first glance, it looks like the words "no strangers should enter" are written on his face. He is his coachman, Qi Guang I feel much more at ease in my heart.

Qi Guang said: "Let's go east, I have long wanted to visit the east."

The east side is near the sea, and she is just in her twenties this year, and she has never seen what the sea looks like in 20 years.Now I have a lot of time, and I can just walk around, which is also considered contented.

The carriage is extremely well prepared.

She knew that one day, she asked Jiang Dezhong to go to the bank outside to exchange for usable bank notes, and even brought out the makeup box of Chengqian Palace.If the bank notes are gone, you can pawn one of the accessories at will, and you will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime.

Thinking about it this way, the future is still very beautiful.

Qi Guang said happily: "Yuan Meng, let's go to sea. I heard that there is a new continent on the other side of the sea, and there are many strange people and strange things. I just went to see it."

Yuan Meng asked, "What about Eunuch Jiang?"

Qi Guangdao: "It's okay. I didn't intend to let him come with me. Jiang Dezhong is old, and it's not suitable for him to travel around with me. Now that brother has become the emperor, I wouldn't make it difficult for Jiang Dezhong. I have rewarded him a lot these years." With less money, it is enough for him to support his life." Because of the snow, the ground was very slippery.Even though Yuan Meng has good driving skills, he must not be too careful when driving a carriage.Because of this, the carriage traveled less than a few hundred miles after driving for less than half a month.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was difficult for Yuan Meng to drive.

He said: "Miss Qi, I can't go anymore. It's snowing heavily, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous to go again. There is a small town ahead, why don't we take a rest in the inn and leave after the snow stops?"

Qi Guang said: "You have been out and about a lot, so do as you said, go find an inn, I am also hungry, and it would be best to have a bowl of hot soup at this time."

So, Yuan Meng found the best inn in the town and asked for two upper rooms.

While Yuan Meng was tidying up, Qi Guang went downstairs.

Perhaps it was because of the heavy snow, the inn was quite deserted, and there were only a few guests in the lobby.The store carefully provided a charcoal stove under the table.Qi Guang picked a table with a charcoal stove and sat down.

Xiao Er soon came over.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

Qi Guang said: "Here's a bowl of hot soup. If you have any delicious food here, let's serve it together." Thinking of Yuan Meng, she said: "Another pot of shochu."

"okay."

The dishes came out quickly, and Qi Guang drank half a bowl of hot soup first.

The hot soup entered the stomach, and the body quickly warmed up.

Qi Guang picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up a piece of beef when he suddenly felt a scorching gaze.She looked sideways and saw a girl in a lake blue dress staring eagerly at the food on her table.

She paused her hands, and put the beef noodles into her mouth without changing her expression.

She took a bite.

Miss Hulan swallowed heavily, and the word "greedy" was almost written on her face.She glanced at her table, only two shriveled steamed buns and a pot of tea from the inn.

Qi Guang has always been a person who loves fragrance and cherishes jade.

This girl from Hulan has clear water eyes, she is actually pretty, and seems to have a strange fragrance.Qi Guang swallowed the beef, and said: "It is fate to meet each other, girl, do you want to eat together?"

Miss Hu Lan nodded quickly, and quickly sat down opposite Qi Guang.She was not polite either, after Qi Guang said to use it casually, she immediately wolfed down most of the food on the table, not even letting go of the shochu, drank it in big gulps, and wiped her mouth very boldly.

Qi Guang appreciates straightforward people, seeing that the girl in front of him is not at all effeminate, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"What's your name?" she asked.

Hulan girl said: "My surname is Song, and my single name is Mei. It is taken from the book of songs, Zaishuizhimei, and it is the family name of Xiangjun, Wanzhou." She bit off the chicken leg and said, "Thank you so much, I came out At that time, I didn’t have enough money with me, and I had already eaten steamed buns for several days.”

The bone of the chicken leg was crushed, Song Mei said again: "Where is the girl from?"

Qi Guang said with a smile: "My surname is Qi, and I have a single name..." She paused and said, "Yue." Qi Yue was Qi Guang's name when he was Emperor Ji before, but he never used it again after changing his name. up.

She smiled and said: "I'm from the capital, and I'm here to play this time."

"one person?"

"No, there are my servants." When mentioning Yuan Meng, Qi Guang realized that Song Mei had eaten all the food on the table, and called Xiaoer over to prepare a new table.Song Mei looked at Qi Guang's demeanor, and she could tell at a glance that she came from a wealthy family, and treated her servants so generously, so her family must be extremely rich.

She said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I'm going to the capital to find someone."

Qi Guang said, "Oh? Who are you looking for?"

Song Mei sighed: "It's a long story, but girl, if you invite me to dinner, I'll tell you, it's not something glamorous, on the contrary, it's a bit embarrassing." She coughed lightly and said : "I went to Beijing to find my fiancé. I just got engaged a few years ago, and he ran away. Miss Qi, let me tell you, you must keep your eyes open when you find a man in the future. But if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of eternal doom. My fiancé is simply... a jerk. After getting engaged to me, he even ran away from marriage! I have been pointed out by others for several years. Some time ago, I I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to go to the capital to find him and break off the engagement." She took a sip of the soju, put down the jug, slapped the table and said, "From now on, he will walk his way, and I will cross my single-plank bridge! "

After speaking, she said meaningfully: "Miss Qi, men are not good things!"

Qi Guang was deeply moved.

"indeed."

At this time, Yuan Meng packed up his things and went downstairs.Just as the food was ready, I sat down at another table.Qi Guang said to him: "I ordered shochu for you. I think it will snow for several days. We are staying in the inn for a few days now, and we will not hurry. You can drink freely."

Yuan Meng said with a smile: "The girl is alone, and I don't feel at ease if I get drunk."

Song Mei looked at Yuanmeng, then at Qiguang, and said, "Is this your servant?"

Qi Guang nodded.

Song Mei said with emotion: "To find a man, you still have to find a burly one, so that you can protect yourself. My fiancé has delicate skin and tender flesh. If there is an accident, I'm afraid I will have to protect him in the end."

After hearing what Song Mei said, Qi Guang didn't say much.

This time, a new guest came in and chatted with the shopkeeper.Qi Guang didn't intend to listen, but he heard his name.

"Hey, have you heard? Something strange happened on the day Emperor Guangyong was buried, just like when Emperor Huizong died."

Qi Guang touched his chin.

It seems that Qi Xuan is quite kind, and the posthumous title he gave her is also thoughtful, and it sounds like a wise king.She originally thought that Qi Xuan would directly erase her existence.She pricked up her ears.

At this time, Song Mei said quietly: "I know about this matter. I have heard it many times along the way."

Qi Guang asked curiously: "Guang...did something strange happen when Emperor Yong was buried?"

Song Meidao: "When Emperor Huizong died, didn't there be a courtier called Lu Ren? I heard that Lu Ren was the guest of Emperor Huizong, and the relationship between the two was unusual. When Emperor Huizong passed away, Lu Ren He also went there that day. Now that Emperor Guangyong left, there was a big fire in the Lu Mansion, and someone did not escape. Guess who it is?"

Qi Guang's heart skipped a beat.

Song Mei said: "Yes, it's Lu Ren's son, who is Emperor Guangyong's fiancé-in-law. Speaking of which, it's fate!"

Qi Guang's expression changed instantly.

She asked in a daze: "You mean Lu Li left?"

Song Mei lowered her voice and said, "I'll only tell you about this, don't tell anyone else, I only found out after asking about it. Everyone knows how the new emperor ascended the throne. I heard that Emperor Guangyong's fiancé-in-law is The internal response of the new emperor, when he knew that Emperor Guangyong had gone, was hit hard for a while. He didn't eat or drink during the days when Emperor Guangyong performed his rituals. He didn't eat his last meal until Emperor Guangyong was buried. So I followed. Although everyone said it was an accident, if I really wanted to escape, how could I not escape? I must have intended to be buried with Emperor Guangyong. I also heard that Lu Li asked the new emperor before his death. If something unexpected happens, he will be buried with Emperor Guangyong."
