Chapter 464 Summer Dark Torrent [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you 40k]

Turn around,

in the afternoon,

The Shen family in Guanghuafang,
main entrance,
"The bride is at the corner of the street!"

The little maid with a red ribbon tied around her waist said with joy,

The guests at the gate of Shen's house looked towards the street.

There were a few young girls, about eight or nine years old, holding hands with their friends and leading their little maids, running towards the street corner.

Girls around the age of coming of age were not in a position to run like this, so they just moved closer to the gate and found a good position to see the newlyweds.

The joyful sounds of suona, gongs and drums gradually became clearer and closer. By the time they reached the gate, they were already a little harsh, causing the ladies to cover their ears.

After a while

The figure of the groom riding a tall horse walked to the gate.

"Oh, the white horse that Rui Ge'er is riding is really majestic and handsome!"

A lady standing at the door said.

"I heard that this is the Northern Liao dragon horse that the Xu family sent for the groom to ride. How could it not be magnificent!"

A lady at the side spoke up.

"Oh, let's go in and see the wedding hall."

As the two ladies spoke, they entered the yard with the guests at the door.

Around the entrance, several girls who had visited the Shen family yesterday did not go in. Instead, they looked at the bride and groom with a smile, and whispered about the bridesmaids such as Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye who were beside Shen Herui.

"Sister Shen San, which of the bridesmaids beside the groom do you think is the evil young man you mentioned?"

Hearing what was said, Miss Shen San looked at the people around the groom shyly and said hesitantly: "Let me see, let's rule out the tall, handsome, gentle man with gentle eyes. I can tell he's a good man just by looking at him."

The other girls looked at each other while trying to hold back their laughter, “Yeah yeah.”

Miss Shen San was concentrating on distinguishing them, and continued, "Excluding the one with medium height, I think he looks a bit like the elder sister of the Hai family, so he must be the eldest brother of the Hai family."

"That's right, what else?"

"That evil young man must be the one who was standing beside the white horse with an obscene smile and touching the horse affectionately! Didn't the two ladies just say that the horse came from the Xu family? He must be trying to comfort his own mount!"

"Sisters, am I right?"

Hearing this,

The girls around all laughed, and someone said, "Sister Shen San, let's go in."

inside the hospital,

Amidst the festivities,

After the newlyweds had worship and tea, they were sent to the bridal chamber.

After watching the wedding ceremony with a smile,

Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye, Hai Chaojie and several other children of civil and military officials in the capital who he knew were preparing to go to the banquet.
As soon as he reached the door of the house, he saw a young girl with golden hairpins standing beside him, looking at him with surprise in her eyes.

When Xu Zaijing looked over, the girl immediately turned around and ran away as if she was running for her life.

On the table,
However, Xu Zaijing did not sit at the same table with Gu Tingye and other bridesmaids, but sat at a table with higher seniority and status with Yu Huguang.

After the groom Shen Herui toasted and left,
Lord Shen and his wife came over with Shen Hezhen, and together they toasted Yu Huguang and Xu Zaijing with a glass of wine.

The wedding banquet ended at the beginning of the evening (7pm).
Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and Yu Huguang left the Shen family together with their personal servants.

On the way,

After Gu Tingye exhaled a breath of alcohol, he said to Yu Huguang, "Brother Yu, I heard that Zhang Shipan is still lying on the couch?"

Yu Huguang nodded and said, "If you don't take the medicine honestly, you will recover more slowly."

Gu Tingye laughed and said, "You deserve it! Jing'er, you should have hit him with the jade pendant on your waist that day!"

Xu Zaijing glanced at Gu Tingye and said, "Erlang, four or five people are holding me, how can I take off the jade pendant?"

Gu Tingye was stunned and nodded: "That's right!"

walk for a while,

Gu Tingye suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Yu, has the Hong family invited you or Doctor Yu to see a doctor?"

Yu Huguang thought about it and shook his head: "That's not the case."

"Erlang, what's wrong?" asked Xu Zaijing, who was riding on the other side.

"Brother Jing, the third daughter of the Hong family said she is ill, and she is probably engaged to the fifth daughter."

Xu Zaijing looked at the surrounding streets and said, "The news of that girl getting on the Qin family's carriage has spread throughout Bianjing. Marquis Gu will not allow such a woman to enter the house, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the Gu family."

"Claiming to be ill is considered giving respect to the two families."

Gu Tingye nodded in approval: "Brother Jing, I heard from my sister that we met this girl in Yangzhou back then. Do you remember her?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "That's not the case."

Gu Tingye: "Me too."

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Gu Tingye looked back and said, "It's bad. The four guys from the Zheng family, Jianghe, Huhai, and others, are following us. We will not show any mercy when we go to welcome the bride today."

"It's not a good time to run horses in the street. Let's wait for them to come over. At worst, we can teach them a lesson."

After hearing this, Gu Tingye gave a thumbs up.

A few days after the Shen family wedding banquet,
End of the You hour (before 7pm)
Xujia Racecourse

Xu Zaijing jumped off the little black colt's back.
Looking at Yin Bo who was leisurely maintaining his armor in front of the house, he said, "Master, have you found the reason why the two horses are restless?"

Yin Bo smiled and nodded.

Looking at the little black colt being unbridled and saddled by Qingyun, he said, "This stallion is going to have a brother or sister and a child."

Xu Zaijing looked back at the little black colt in surprise: "Is the black colt given by the emperor pregnant?"

"Well, maybe it's because of the joy of attending weddings these days. The other one is a dragon colt raised by Xunshu."

Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "Master, you have to keep this news secret."

Yin Bo smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, only Alan and Xunshu know about this."

"Hua Xiang, go tell her that I will have dinner with Master tonight and will not go to Mother's Courtyard."

"Yes, son!"

Two quarters of an hour later,

Qingyun came in from outside the Marquis' Mansion with Chu Zhan and Alan, the dishes on the trays in their hands were still steaming.

Xu Zaijing and his master ate and drank until the end of the Xu hour (before 9 p.m.),

Qingyun has gone home to hug his wife,

After Xu Zaijing filled the jar with wine for Yin Bo, he held up the wine bowl and said, "Master, in two days, can you come with me to the Yu family and ask the old doctor Yu to check your pulse?"

Uncle Yin took a sip of wine and said, "In previous years, Jing'er, you always invited a doctor to come to your house to diagnose your pulse. Why do you have to go to the Yu family this year?"

Xu Zaijing drank the wine in his bowl in one gulp and said, "If Doctor Yu hadn't fallen ill a few months ago, I would have invited him to come, but..."

Yin Bo nodded with relief: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xu Zaijing chuckled.

"Go, go, go!"

Outside the door came the sound of Qingcao driving away the big dog from the Marquis's mansion.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the wooden door.

"Enter."

Qingcao, who was wearing a light-colored spring shirt and had her hair untied, opened the door and poked her head in: "Master, Uncle Yin, have you finished drinking? It's getting late, and you have to go to school tomorrow."

Xu Zaijing stood up without any sign of drunkenness and said, "Let's go back."

On the way,

"What do you think of them?"

"Sir, I'll let them sleep first."

"You're so kind. Why do you have such a pigtail?"

"Before going to bed, the two of them were working on their hairstyles, and they also gave me a haircut."

"Ah."

Xu Zai Jingyuaner,
Entering the house through the dense grape trellis,

Under the bright yellow candlelight,
Xu Zaijing was wearing a white inner garment. He looked at Qingcao who was tidying up his spring clothes and said, "It looks good."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing went into the bathing room, took off his clothes, sat in the bathtub and closed his eyes: this maid whom he had taken care of since childhood, no longer looked dark and thin as before, but she still looked good now, and in her previous life she could have been an actress at least.

That is to say, Xu Zaijing came early, and he couldn't see anything from Qingcao. In fact, if we look closely, Qingcao looks a bit like the actor Wang He in "Making Money, Building Three Big Tiled Houses, and Marrying Xing'er".

Of course, Xu Zaijing definitely didn't know.

"squeak"

The door was opened.

"Sir? How about this servant?"

The timid voice of the grass came from the door.

"Pfft~"

Xu Zaijing's underwear hit the door directly.

"The clothes have been washed."

"Oh."

At the door, Qingcao took the clothes in her arms and then shrank back out of the door. For a moment, she didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy.

On the second day,
Early Mao time (5 a.m.)
The sky is bright,

Shengjia Academy,

Changbai and his servant Hanniu walked to the school gate.
Looking at the person sitting in the last row of the classroom, Changbai glared and said, "No, Wulang, when did you come?"

The servant's eyes were also full of surprise.

Xu Zaijing looked at the books on the table without raising his head and said, "I just got here."

Changbai nodded.

After Han Niu put the book box away for Changbai, he walked to the wooden platform at the back and sat down.

Looking at Qingcao beside him, Hanniu said, "Sister Qingcao, your hair bun looks pretty good today."

Qingcao smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Hanniu, for the compliment."

After half an hour,

The other classmates arrived at the school one after another.

Changbai glanced at his brother-in-law Zai Zhang and said nothing.

When the three Lans arrived at the school,
Qingcao, who was sitting in the back, attracted a lot of attention. Xiaotao, Xique and Luzhong would gather around Qingcao and chat with each other during their break, exchanging some hair-tying techniques.

On the third day,
At the beginning of the Mao hour,
Changbai and Xu Zaijing walked into the school together.

Time flies,

It's the Dragon Boat Festival.

The weather is getting hotter.
Most people in Bianjing have already changed into summer clothes.

Three thousand miles away in Yongzhou,

Yongwang Mansion,
In the inner courtyard Buddhist hall,
Princess Yong in front of the altar took out three incense sticks from the incense holder and lit them.

Gently shake out the flame on the incense,
Then he raised it to his forehead and bowed.
Only then did he look at the tablet behind the altar and carefully inserted the incense into the incense burner.

At the entrance of the Buddhist temple, a maid whispered:
"Princess, there is a high monk from Bianjing outside the palace holding a token, claiming to be entrusted by the prince to chant sutras and pray for the prince and princess."

"Where is the prince?"

"Replying to Princess, the prince has taken the medicine. It is now with the concubine."

Princess Yong raised the corner of her mouth slightly and sneered: "Well, please invite the monk into the mansion."

"Yes, princess."

The maid at the door took her leave.

Princess Yong took a deep breath, glanced at the tablet behind the altar, then straightened her sleeves and walked out.

There was smoke rising from the Buddhist temple.
A breeze blows by,

The green smoke drifted in all directions, and also drifted to the tablet that Princess Yong had just seen.

You can vaguely see the words "Efeng" painted in gold paint on the tablet.

In the reception hall,

Princess Yong looked at the dusty monk and quickly put her hands together in a salute: "Greetings, Master. You have worked hard on your journey."

The monk clasped his hands together and bowed in return: "Greetings, Princess."

"How is my son in Beijing?"

"Your Highness, the arrow wound that the prince sustained has long since healed, but he will feel a little uncomfortable if it is cloudy or rainy."

"That's good."

"I heard from people down there that the master wants to chant sutras and pray for the prince. I wonder where he's going to chant? Is the Buddhist temple in the mansion good enough?"

"My Lady, the closer the place where you chant the sutras is to the believers, the better. The Buddhist temple in the palace is the best place."

"Then, Master, please."

As she spoke, Princess Yong stood up and extended her hand.

Afterwards, Princess Yong and the monk walked along the corridor towards the Buddhist temple.

Halfway through,

The monk suddenly stopped and looked up towards the sky above the palace with a look of surprise.

"What happened, Master?"

Princess Yong asked hurriedly.

The monk lowered his head and said, "Princess, it's nothing. I am just dazzled. Let's keep going."

Princess Yong looked at the monk, nodded, and continued walking forward.

Entering the temple,
The monk looked at the maidservant who had followed him and said, "Princess, please keep them away so that I can chant sutras and pray for blessings."

Princess Yong waved her handkerchief.
Soon the others retreated far away to the wide-open door of the Buddhist temple.

Only the monks and Princess Yong were left in the temple.

The monk sat cross-legged on the cushion in front of the altar. He looked at the tablet behind the altar, put his hands together, and said in a voice that only he and Princess Yong could hear:
"My Lady Princess, I wonder if the ashes of the traitor that the Crown Prince asked someone to bring back are also here?"

Hearing this,

Princess Yong looked at the monk in bewilderment and whispered, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

The monk said in a low voice with a respectful attitude, "Princess, the Marquis of Dongchang asked the prince to bring back the ashes of the traitor who plotted to murder the heir to the throne, which both the Prince of Jing and the Prince of Tan have!"

Princess Yong stopped talking and just looked at the monk.

"In fact, I was not dazzled just now. I saw dragon energy rising in the air above the palace."

Princess Yong blinked but still said nothing.

"My Lady Princess, I am not an official of the Imperial City Department of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but a Buddhist dresser from Northern Liao."

Princess Yong was stunned and shook her head gently, saying, "I didn't expect that they would dare to collude with a foreign country. They are so bold as to seek the skin of a tiger~!"

The monk said, "We never thought that the princess would be in control of the huge Yong Palace."

Princess Yong looked at the burning incense sticks and said, "Tell me, what are you going to do during the emperor's birthday celebration? How can the palace cooperate with you?"

The monk smiled and shook his head: "Madam, the Emperor of the Great Zhou will soon be celebrating his birthday. Three months later, the entire Bianjing Imperial City Department and the Military Affairs Department will be like a taut bowstring, staring at everything without blinking. How could we choose to launch an attack at this time?"

Princess Yong chuckled: "Oh? Isn't it because the Jin army is too sharp?"

"Of course not." The monk bowed his head and continued, "Don't worry, Princess. We just want to ask you to sit on the dragon throne in the future if you hear of any changes in Bianjing. With the help of our brave soldiers, you can sit on the dragon throne."

"If we launch an attack and don't see any action from the princess, then the current Queen of Great Zhou will probably know how the previous heir died. The princess must know the fate of Prince Yan's family."

Hearing this, Princess Yong raised her chin without commenting, but her hands, hidden in her sleeves and invisible to others, were shaking slightly.

"Don't worry, Princess. The Jing Palace and the Tan Palace will be together by then! Oh, and there is one more thing." The monk continued.

"explain."

"This Great Zhou has a very effective medicine for treating gold wounds. I heard that Prince Yong's Palace has a lot of it in stock?"

Princess Yong shook her head: "Most of the inventory in the palace's warehouse has been sold at high prices to shops owned by several nobles in the capital. Now there is not much left!"

The monk clasped his hands together and whispered, "Oh?"

Princess Yong looked sincere and said, "It is indeed true. If you don't believe me, you can go to the storehouse of my palace to check. In fact, you might as well go to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion. I heard that the Xu family has successfully grown this plant. There are more of them there!"

"Don't worry, Princess. We will do both. I want to buy some of the leftovers from the palace."

There was silence in the temple for a long time.
The incense sticks burned out and the ashes fell into the incense burner.

Princess Yong then said, "Why buy it? Master, you have worked hard, so consider those things as a thank you gift."

"Princess, have mercy."
