Chang Anqing

Chapter 34 Design Fragmentation
In a blink of an eye, the blazing summer sun has risen into the air, and there is no cloud cover at this moment, and it is already shooting straight down, covering the green forest outside the city with a dazzling golden glow.The incense-rich Yuqing Temple is located on the hillside, and the early morning clouds and mists have already dissipated, and only the sound of "clang-clang-" can be heard. Do not go.

It is rumored that in the early Liang Dynasty, one of the emperor's favorite concubines liked lotus flowers, so the emperor specially built a palace on this mountain for his favorite concubine, planting the most precious lotus flowers all over the place, until the Liang Dynasty was destroyed, and the palace was also torched. , burned to ashes, the world has never imagined that decades later, the lotus pond here has come back to life, and the lotus flowers in the pond have opened up one by one.

Later, the real Yuqing who traveled here came to this place and felt that the mountains were green and watery, so he dissipated his belongings and built a small Yuqing Temple. Later, because of his concentrated study of alchemy here, he spread the Taoist scriptures to the world. , This Yuqing Temple became famous in Chang'an and became a Taoist holy place.Later, because the Zhou Dynasty respected Taoism as the state religion, the emperors of all dynasties took this Yuqing Temple as a royal Taoist temple, and it was expanded and renovated several times. The pond was approved by Emperor Wen, and the water flowed down from the waterfall from the back mountain, and it was sent to the palace to take care of it like a royal garden.

With the breeze swaying, the ancient lotus pond in Yuqing Temple has already attracted many viewers. With a faint fragrance, clusters of pink or white lotus flowers are blooming, which seems to be the daughter's drunken tenderness. It's a beautiful woman in a pink dancing costume, hiding among the green lotus leaves, just one glance makes people fascinated, and they don't know the way back.

At this moment, among the crowd, there are several familiar figures walking among them. At first glance, it is the Rong'an County Lord of the Taiwei's Mansion who is smiling and holding his mother Cui Shi, walking beside their mother and son. One of the women in Chinese robes, one of them has a smooth face, the one who is talking to Mrs. Cui is Mrs. Wang Mrs. of the Marquis of Anping, who is close to her. The biological mother, Mrs. Cao, the grandfather of the government, Yang Jin.

"Why are you thinking of inviting me to come to Yuqing to watch the lotus together today?" Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Anping, smiled and asked Mrs Cui, who was beside her.

Hearing the question, Mrs Cui smiled and glanced calmly at the county magistrate, Rong'an, who was holding her daughter. How could she tell the serious reasons, but she blurted out: "It's not Rong'an, it's too bad these days. After being detained in the house for a long time, he pestered me every day, saying that now is a good time for Yuqing to see lotus flowers, and I will not see it later. You know me, how can I stop her being so noisy, thinking It's been rainy and rainy these days, and it's hard to see the sun, so it's good to take her out to relax."

After speaking, Mrs Cui changed the subject again and said, "Why is Wu Niang's future today?"

"As soon as she heard your invitation, she wanted to come. How could she know that Xiaotian came last night, and she was in a bad mood today, so she couldn't come."

Cui shi nodded when he heard the words, and only listened to Rong An, who was on the side, interjected with regret: "It's a pity that the ancient lotus here is very expensive, so I can't bring back two of them, I can only invite her next time."

"Wu Niang is thinking of you to go, if you go to find her to play, I'm afraid you will teach her to be happy than this Gu Lian-"

Seeing the smiling face of Rong'an County's head, who was as beautiful and tender as a green onion, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Anping said, "Seeing that Rong'an has grown up, I don't know if I see each other?"

"Now the Dalang and Erlang in the house are not married yet, and the wife's family is naturally not in a hurry. I personally want to keep Rong An by my side for a while. You also understand the heart of being a mother."

Hearing Mrs Cui say this, Mrs Wang nodded in understanding, and then she remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Speaking of the dignity of the Duke of Chang'an, I'm afraid that Mrs. Taiwei and the others are being cautious. Knowing that the identity of the Yongning County Master who has grown up in the mansion since childhood is equivalent to that of the Chang'an County Duke, and the wife of the Taiwei likes it, there is a Li family with a deep background like the Li family behind them. As soon as the lady comes, is there any variable in it?"

Mrs. Cui saw that Mrs. Anping Hou deliberately mentioned this, so she naturally glanced at Mrs. Cao next to him, and saw that Mrs. Cao was indeed a little unhappy. Ancient and modern, he has always been a direct descendant, and Mrs. Cao has an eldest son. Yang Jin, originally had a bit of a chance of winning. Who would have thought that Mrs. Li gave birth to two direct sons, Yang Yan and Yang Che, and her status would be rock solid. Nouveau riche, but far less than Longxi Li's century-old accumulation.

So no matter how he is the eldest son, how can he be as noble as the first son of another family.

At this point, Mr. Cao's long-cherished expectations are even more dim. How can he not be angry?
Cui Shi shook his head with a smile, and said unhurriedly: "Erlang and their marriage, the first lady and the captain naturally have a decision, we just wait for the wedding wine."

Mrs. Anping Hou smiled when she heard the words and didn't ask any more questions. The group still walked away together, but she didn't want the Rong'an county chief who was following at the moment to lower her head silently, her brows were a little bit more cold and unwilling, and she squeezed her hands. The fans were tight and tight, and even the interest in viewing the scenery seemed to be swept away.

After walking for a long time, Mrs. Cui felt a little tired. Mrs. Cui saw that Mrs. Anping was tired, so she looked around, and unknowingly, several people had walked to a quiet place, and she saw only one person. Hidden in the dense bamboo forest, the small house is extraordinarily elegant.

"After walking for a while, I'm afraid I'm all tired. There is a room in front of us, so let's go there to rest and ask the maids to serve the prepared refreshments. It's refreshing and elegant."

When Mrs. Anping heard the sound, she naturally nodded with a smile, and then looked aside, Mrs. Cao agreed, and a few people went there.

When I came out of the house, I only heard a "squeak--", and the maid lowered her head and pushed the door forward, but she heard someone whispering, it turned out that there were already two people in the room, among them the man in the room With a face like a crown of jade and a graceful temperament, who is Chen Zhiyan, the king of Bohai County, who is not famous in Chang'an City?It's just that at this moment, they seem to be quite surprised to see them, and they can't speak for a while.

The woman standing opposite him turned her back to them at the moment, her beautiful black hair was simply pulled up with a wooden hairpin, and she was wearing a simple Taoist robe, but even so, people could see the tall and graceful figure. Shocked by the sudden sound, they turned their heads slightly like a reflection, and even though a light-colored veil was hung in front of them, it could make people look a bit stunning, but it was these eyebrows that made them feel very familiar.

After Mrs. Anping Hou thought for a while, her pupils suddenly trembled.

This, this is very similar to the Yongning County Lord they were still talking about-

In this sparsely populated place, a man and a widow lived together in the same room, and the Yongning County Master dressed up like a Taoist girl and covered her veil, clearly not wanting to be seen.

Is this possible?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but froze there, only the county magistrate Rong'an looked straight, with a little more certainty and smirk between his brows, as if everything had been settled.

This is really great news.

"The prince is also here to admire the lotus?"
