Chapter 398 Encounter

Updated: 2013-11-22

It was the ten-day holiday every ten days, and Yu Qian and his wife went out in a carriage to purchase some small things in person, and they were able to stroll around the streets and alleys of Wuchang City by the way.

He has already heard the news from Yang Shiqi that he may be the governor of Jiangxi, and his mentality is gradually transitioning to a new identity.But in fact, the difference is not very big, it's just a change of regime, just like the streets and alleys of Wuchang, which are densely populated and the buildings look old.

Occasionally, he saw an acquaintance behind him, and hurriedly asked the groom to stop.

Unexpectedly, a "woman" appeared at the door next to her, and shouted: "You are so weird, you dare to block the door of other people's door to do this!"

The woman spoke a local dialect. Fortunately, Yu Qian and his wife had lived in Wuchang for a long time before, so they probably understood it.Mrs. Dong also felt strange, so she asked, "Why did you stop suddenly?"

Yu Qian ignored Mrs. Dong, bent down and got out of the car, and said to the groom: "Move the car to another place, and send the lady back first."

Mrs. Dong was a little angry, and poked her head out: "Where are you...husband going?" It was always like this, obviously the couple had known each other for many years and often met, but they had nothing to say.

She didn't expect her husband to tell her, because there was no need for him to tell her what he wanted to do.I don't want Yu Qian to explain in a hurry: "It seems that I saw an old friend in the officialdom just now. I chased him to have a look. Ask the long follower to follow me, you go back first."

Yu Qian led one of his elders and another middle-aged servant to turn over and walk to the street corner. After turning a corner, he saw a familiar figure from behind.He called out: "Miss Luo!"

The person in front turned around and it turned out to be Luo Yaoniang.Although she was wearing a long gown with a stand-up collar, her hair in a bun and a square scarf, she was still easily recognizable.Seeing what happened to Yu Qian, Luo Yaoniang also showed a smile, and said politely, "How come I ran into Brother Ting Yi here, haha."

The two have been very acquainted for a long time, and they are not childhood sweethearts, but ever since Yu Qian passed the Jinshi examination and became an official in the court, and took Yang Shiqi as his teacher, he and Luo Yaoniang have known each other.He also had a lot of contacts in normal times. A few years ago, during the open and secret struggle with Hanwang's henchmen, Yang Shiqi often sent Luo Yaoniang to contact Yu Qian.The two of them probably think that each other is the kind of old friend who is trustworthy and knows everything.

Yu Qian also said with a smile: "Suddenly I realized that we are in the same city, and we can easily meet each other."

Luo Yaoniang took a few steps closer: "When my father came to Wuchang, I accompanied him."

"I know." Yu Qian said, "I received your letter last time, but I have been involved in many things these days, but I haven't even seen a single face." His expression was relaxed, more serious than usual It looks more pleasant.

At this time, Luo Yaoniang pointed to a nearby tea house and said, "It's been almost a year since the capital's first farewell, and now we meet again, choosing a date is worse than bumping into the sun, let's find a place to have a good talk."

"That's very good, Miss Luo please." Yu Qian said happily.

The teahouses on the street are just the common ones in the market, but the shops are bigger, and there are people sitting upstairs and downstairs drinking melon seeds and drinking tea, and gathering together to play leaf cards. After the year, no one cares about playing cards for small money; there is also a hall where people sing music, surrounded by private rooms covered by cheap bead curtains, singing some folk songs, but the unrefined hall is just right for this occasion .

The waiter in the shop opened a curtain to invite the guests to take their seats. There was a "crash" sound that sounded good, but the beads on the curtain were not pearls, but a smooth and colorful nut picked from a tree.

When the tea was served, the two of them sat down on the seats, listening to the singing in a melodious voice, Yu Qian couldn't help sighing a little, and sighed: "The world is so common, I didn't expect to be in Huguang with Yang Gong, and it was in such a situation. Down."

Luo Yaoniang also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yu Qian with a pair of beautiful eyes with concern: "It's really unexpected. Looking back, it's like a dream. But it's better now. When we were in Yangzhou, we were worried all day long... ... I vaguely heard from my father that Lord Yu will be governor of Jiangxi soon?"

"This matter was only mentioned in the cabinet, so you may believe it. You can't let others hear it." Yu Qian said cautiously.

"I know, don't you still trust me?" Luo Yaoniang smiled, "Isn't Jiangxi still in the hands of the King of Han and the imperial court? Brother Ting Yi, who is in charge of Huguang, must have both military power and great power. Wake up safe and trust your character."

Yu Qian pondered for a moment, then heard her mentioning the King of Xiang, and asked again: "A few years ago, the King of Xiang had a marriage contract with you, and later he rebelled against the court. Teacher or Ms. Luo mentioned this matter?" [

"He's already married." Luo Yaoniang pouted, "Not long ago he made an appointment with me, but he didn't mention it... It doesn't matter if I'm a child, anyway, I'm just an adopted daughter and I don't think I'm losing my father's face But I haven't met the one in his family, and I don't know if it's easy to get along with, anyway, this kind of thing is very annoying." She glanced at Yu Qian, and said in a joking tone, "If you were a Jinshi and knew my father at that time When we get married, my father will definitely promise me to you. In that case, even if I get to know Ping An later, I won’t have anything to do with him. I don’t have such troubles. I said why are you men so eager to get married? The day before yesterday I was in the city I saw a happy event here, and the bridegroom officer looked like a child at all."

Yu Qian said: "I dare not disobey the orders of my parents. Miss Luo, don't say that, Yu is not worthy. It would be fine if I was born a few years later, or entered the court earlier."

"I remembered a sentence, you were born and I was not born..."

... Dong Shi next door felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of flavors when he heard this.She thought it was strange before, and she couldn't help being curious and followed her quietly; sure enough, a woman's intuition is very good, Yu Qian is usually not salty, but today she deliberately explained that she saw an old friend in the officialdom, is it really getting darker and darker? ?

In fact, she felt that after her husband became more and more powerful, he would not hinder him from taking concubines. For example, the servant girls around her were not bad-looking, or it was fine if he liked someone who was easy to discuss and take in.But the husband is not lustful, and he is not usually close to women, so he doesn't mention the matter of taking concubines.Such a gentleman's husband is usually serious, upright and frugal at home, but he said that kind of thing to others, which made Mrs. Dong very uncomfortable... Not only did he feel threatened, but it was also a kind of jealousy and loss , Could it be that he doesn't agree with him at all?He had never heard him say that to himself, but he could say that to other women.

The rumors of talking and laughing over there continued to spread, why did he talk so much with others, why did he become refined but funny in front of others?

Dong Shi fell into a sad environment for a while, as if the place was covered with fog, the light was dim, depressing, as if abandoned.

She felt that she had been working hard to maintain the home she was running, as if it had become very useful, but the things that were used were all hers.A married woman, without those, what is left?Only she can taste the taste of it.
