Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 200 No Mental Arithmetic but Mind (2)

On the other side of the lake, in the spacious Huiyuan Pavilion, the Huiwenzhenghui was very lively. Not far from Huiyuan Pavilion, the Fourth Prince wore jade hairpins, a light yellow brocade gown, and walked slowly along the plank road by the lake with his hands behind his back. Appreciating the lake view, Ye Shusheng followed half a step behind, and said in a low voice: "... I wish the letter from Lord Hou said that he abandoned Bei'an to lure the enemy. Counting the days, it should be almost the same. When the news of the fall of Bei'an City comes out When you enter the capital, you don’t need the officials to speak, and the court will only have one voice.”

"Well, Father has always been considerate." The fourth prince looked at the other side of the lake in a daze and answered. Ye Shusheng followed the fourth prince's eyes and glanced at the green lake and continued: "The government has no plans to spare. Once the letter spreads into the capital and the imperial court declares the order of war, the leader of the army will not be able to delay, Grand Master Liu came to find Father again yesterday to ask for a fight, Father perfunctory for half a day before comforting him back."

"Taiping has been peaceful for more than ten years, and now the court can't find a commander-in-chief of the army that everyone expects." The fourth prince sighed: "Scholar Liu is old and his fame is too high. If he is allowed to lead the army, he may be killed The calamity of rushing forward, uncle can't do it, he doesn't understand military strategy but thinks too much of himself, if he becomes a commander, he will definitely intervene in specific battles, and then it will be a disaster." The fourth prince paused, frowned, and turned to look Leaning on Ye Shusheng, he said, "If it wasn't for Dad's strong body...I really want to lead the army to fight!"

"You must not!" Ye Shusheng hurriedly persuaded with a wry smile: "From the beginning of spring, the health of the official family is getting worse day by day, and the noble concubine has repeatedly warned that the fourth master can't leave the capital half a step away."

"Yeah!" The fourth prince took a deep breath, looked at the lake in a daze and was silent for a long time, then turned to look at Ye Cunsheng and said, "You go to the fold and ask for a fight. Remember, the mobilization of troops and the battle are all dispatched by Master Zhu. You just need to urge food, grass and military supplies, and ask for credit for the soldiers. With Zhu's family in front, and Prime Minister Yao and I dispatched later, this battle will not be difficult. "Ye Shusheng was stunned for a moment, his face was flushed with excitement, his eyes jumped up and down, and he hurriedly responded with a long bow: "Yes! Don't worry, fourth master." After a pause, Ye Shusheng stared at the expression of the fourth prince and laughed along with him. Said: "Yesterday, when A Niang entered the palace, I heard from the imperial concubine that the officials heard that Mrs. Zhu was pregnant, and they were very happy."

The fourth prince couldn't express any expression on his face, and after a while he said 'hmm': "Go back to Huiyuan Pavilion to greet everyone, I want to walk alone." Ye Shusheng hurriedly agreed, took a few steps back, and beckoned After calling Yuanyuan to wait on him, he gave a few low-key instructions, and then he strode towards Huiyuan Pavilion.

The fourth prince walked along the plank road by the lake for a while, and saw that there seemed to be a boat rowing out on the other side of the lake. He stopped and looked at it for a while, then raised his hand and called the servant Mingfeng to order: "Go and ask, who rowed out the boat?" "Mingfeng bowed and agreed, trotted out all the way, came back after inquiring after a while, and followed the fourth prince step by step and reported in a low voice: "Back to the fourth master, it is the twelfth mother, the wife of the Wu family of Duke Wen, Linchuan Marquis Jiang The lady of the family, as well as seven or eight young ladies including the ninth lady of the Gongsun family of Dingguo, and the concubine of Jin'an County." The fourth prince's footsteps were slightly stagnant, and he walked forward for a while, and suddenly stopped and ordered: "Go and call The lotus leaves in this lake are a beautiful sight." Ming Feng agreed, and quickly ran to the nearest dock.

On the opposite side of the lake, Ye Shiriniang, Wu Jiuniang and Sun Jiuniang got into a boat. The boat lady sat in the stern and rowed the boat to the middle of the lake leisurely. Holding a short pole about three feet long, seeing the lotus leaf stabbing the lotus leaf, and seeing the fish, I hurried to spear the fish, yelling all the way, and I had a great time playing.

Wu Jiuniang was sitting behind Ye Shierniang, also holding a pole, stabbing the lotus leaf for a while, then standing up and moving to the other side to poke a few times, pulling down the corner of her mouth from time to time, gouging out Wen Wen and sitting quietly on the other side Sun Jiuniang.She originally liked this little lady of the Duke's Mansion who always kept her figure very low and was very cute, but since the death of her grandmother, Wu Jiuniang gave Sun Jiuniang a hard look. She flatters herself like a dog. Now it's fine in front of people, but when she turns her back on people, she turns her nostrils to the sky. If the grandma is still there, she must take good care of her!

Holding a handkerchief in her hand, Sun Jiuniang was absent-mindedly playing in the water more than a foot above the water. Her whole mind was on the opposite bank, but she couldn't see the green trees and flowers on the other bank, even if there were people. Taking a walk by the lake, but the lake is too big, before she could figure out a suitable way to slip to the other side, she boarded the thief boat. Sun Jiuniang shook her handkerchief annoyed, if only the boat could reach the other side up.

"Row forward, row forward!" Ye Shierniang saw that the boat mother's rowing speed slowed down, and hurriedly pointed to a small white marble stone pavilion in front of the water and shouted: "That is the center of the lake. Stop right there, you two! You have to work hard for me later, no matter what, they can't let them get ahead!" Ye Shiriniang stood up, pointing at Wu Jiuniang and Sun Jiuniang, who are as heroic as generals.Wu Jiuniang, Ye Shierniang, and Lin Ke all had the same temper. Wan Xiu was gearing up to win the rowing first place. Sun Jiuniang smiled with boredom in her eyes.

On the other side of the lake, a small boat was rowed out from the shore, and the fourth prince stood tall and tall at the bow. Sun Jiuniang's eyes lit up suddenly. Although she couldn't see clearly, she knew it must be him. This was the fate between her and him. The identity, the signature clearly stated that she and him were destined by the previous life!
"The scenery here is so beautiful, let's enjoy the scenery first before paddling back." Sun Jiuniang giggled and said, "Twelve Niangs, look over there, does that lotus leaf look like an upside-down umbrella? Ah, and that one, Look, standing side by side, does it look like two sisters leaning on each other? Twelve mothers! Look, over there, under the lotus leaf, is it a flower arrow? It must be a flower arrow, hurry up, Row over and have a look! Maybe it's the first flower arrow in this lake!" Sun Jiuniang took Ye Shiriniang to point and kept pointing, her eyes were full of interesting lotus leaves and lotus flowers.Wu Jiuniang was left behind in the cold, gnashing her teeth and staring at Sun Jiuniang, wishing she could push her into the lake and drown her!

The fourth prince's boat rowed so slowly, Sun Jiuniang tried her best to hold Ye Twelve Niang. Where is it worse than that one?What she lacked was just a coincidence!
Wu Jiuniang couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped forward and pushed Wu Jiuniang away, and said with a dry smile: "What's so good about a pond with broken lotus leaves? What's the matter if you don't have lotus leaves in your house? Hurry up and row the boats, everyone is here!" Said Then, he stabbed the boat oar in his hand into Sun Jiuniang's arms, pointed at her and directed: "Look at you, you are so cute all day long, the designation is useless, you sit in the back, and Twelve Niang and I will paddle in front."

Sun Jiuniang's face turned green with anger. In front of Ye Shierniang, to be precise, in front of the boat coming from afar, her demeanor is the most important thing. Sun Jiuniang let go of the boat and let the oar fall , squinted her eyes and stared at Wu Jiuniang for a few times, straightened her clothes, raised her hands and licked her temples, took a step forward, held Ye Twelve Niang affectionately and begged: "Twelve Niangs, the scenery is so beautiful, Let’s enjoy the scenery for a while, isn’t it good? Just for a while, after enjoying the scenery, let’s work hard, don’t worry, the first place will be ours.”

"Don't pay attention to her!" Wu Jiuniang couldn't compare to Sun Jiuniang's flattery. Seeing that Ye Twelve Niang had already nodded, her face turned red with anger, and she stepped forward and dragged Ye Twelve Niang back. Ye Twelve Niang was caught by the two People are fighting for me to drag you back and forth, dragging your head dizzy, and quickly waved your hands and said: "Okay, okay, don't argue, Sun Jiu wants to enjoy the scenery, let her enjoy it for a while, just let's sit and have a drink Have tea and a snack, and when you are full, you will have the strength to row a boat."

Wu Jiuniang was pressed on the chair by Ye Shiriniang full of resentment, and stared hard at Sun Jiuniang who was standing on the bow of the boat, wishing she could relax her sleeves and perform a song. She didn't drink the tea and almost ate the cup.

"Look at her stupid look, no matter what she puts on, no one will see it!" Wu Jiuniang bowed her ears and Ye Shiriniang gritted her teeth and said, "Look at her skirt, it's exactly the same as Sister Tian's, and she still doesn't admit it." , bah, she is not worthy to carry Sister Tian's shoes!"

"Hey, that, cough." Ye Shierniang didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing at all: "I think so too, the skirt is the same, Sun Jiu doesn't look as good as Sister Tian in it, Sun Jiu wore a skirt last time , I think it looks good, let A Ke see it, A Ke said that Sister Tian also has one, it looks better than she wears, it must have been bought in Tianyifang, this Tianyifang is also true, how can there be such a business !"

Ye Shierniang's words didn't dispel the resentment in Wu Jiuniang's heart, but intentionally or unintentionally added a bit of anger. The clothes in Tianyifang are too expensive. After the grandmother left, Aniang never ordered clothes for her from Tianyifang!She bought clothes from Tianyifang one by one, what the hell!Wu Jiuniang was so angry that she couldn't sit still, she stood up bitterly, the boat shook slightly, Wu Jiuniang shook it back and forth twice, and suddenly had an idea.

"Aqin, sit still, I'll scare her." Wu Jiuniang looked at Sun Jiuniang at the bow with excitement all over her face. At this moment, Sun Jiuniang didn't have the time to pay attention to the people and things behind her. Looking at the boat and that person slowly approaching from the opposite side.

"There is a boat coming from the opposite side, I can't tell who it is, Jiuniang, come and see!" Ye Shierniang saw the boat and people approaching on the opposite side, stretched her neck and looked over, Wu Jiuniang stared at the bow of the boat Sun Jiuniang started to shake the boat vigorously under her feet. The boat mother felt that something was wrong. Seeing that it was Wu Jiuniang who was shaking hard, she was startled and screamed anxiously: "Jiu Niang, sit down quickly, you can't do this! The boat will capsize! "

The scream of the boat lady made Ye Twelve Niang jump up in fright. This jump coincided with Wu Jiuniang's strength, and the boat veered to one side. , and fell into the lake to drink the lake water, Wu Jiuniang used too much force, almost at the same time as Sun Jiuniang, also fell headlong into the lake.
