Chapter 195 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (30)

Afterwards, nothing happened, and the day passed smoothly, and the team set off the next day and continued to march north.

The land is so vast, the more we travel, the more we feel that the climate is different.Or it may be due to time. It took me a month to arrive at Shuangtaizi. At that time, there was already a bit of autumn. Going to the northeast, it suddenly turned cold when I reached Shengjing. It was rainy, cold and wet, and it became more and more difficult to travel in the wild.

It's all for men to grit their teeth, but women really can't.Women have to be warmed up and not caught cold.Bumping on horseback all day, unable to meet a post station, swallowing dry food when hungry, drinking cold water when thirsty, and when it rains, the limbs wrapped in thick oily clothes are cold, ordinary days can make do, but it happens that it is inconvenient , that could be called suffering for Ding Yi.

Lifting the edge of the bamboo hat and looking forward, the sky is gray, and the ground is also gray. It has been raining for nearly seven days, and there is no sign of clearing up.I had a slight pain in my lower abdomen this morning, it wasn't too serious, it passed away in an instant, and then it continued after a long time, and it dragged my back after a long time.She was a little anxious, she knew her own situation, and it was like this every time, if she didn't send a monthly letter right away, she would say hello in advance, and the day would not be far away.

But she couldn't make a sound, and she was uncomfortable carrying it. She asked the guards around her, and said that according to the picture, it was still twenty miles away from the palace, and it took half a day to get there.

Fortunately, soon, she took a deep breath.This time I didn’t live in a post station. In Shengjing, there was an imperial city built by Emperor Gao, which was shaped like the Forbidden City, but on a smaller scale. Whenever there was a big sacrifice, the palace was used as a residence for the emperor and the clan. Many descendants of the Yuwen family only called it Make an old house.If you have too many houses, you don’t have to squeeze in with others, and it’s more convenient to take care of yourself.With hope, Dingyi regained his spirits, and the team marched forward in the rain, and they arrived in the evening.

There is Angbang Zhangjing specially stationed in Shengjing, and he has been waiting at the gate of the city early when he learned that the prince is coming.When people came, they didn't even open their umbrellas, they knelt straight and kowtowed on the Qingshi Tianjie, "Greetings to the virtuous prince, and respect to the master."

It turns out that Zhang Jing is a member of the Shang banner, and Prince Chun Hongce is the owner of the Shang banner and his serious Nanyuan master.When a slave welcomes his master, that loyalty can be learned from all over the world.The dignified second-rank official, seeing his master with tears in his eyes, knelt down and couldn't get up. He walked up a few steps and hugged Hong Ce's leg, raised his face and wailed: "Master has worked hard all the way. The slave got the news half a month ago. I was going to go out of the city for fifty miles to meet him, but there was an order from the sage, and the commander was not allowed to leave his post without authorization. He had to kneel at the city gate to greet his master. Master... The slave misses his master day and night, and the expatriates have always remembered the teachings of the master's family law in the past few years, and dare not There is a little bit of slack. Now that the master is here, the slave has checked himself, and finally he has not shamed the master, so he has the face to kowtow in front of the master."

Hong Ce patted him on the shoulder, "Get up, I know your filial piety, although I won't come for a long time, I often hear reports saying that you have made great achievements in guarding one side, and I feel comforted in my heart."

That Zhang Jing wiped his tears and thanked En and got up, "The weather is not good recently, the prince and the master walked in the rain. The slave has sent someone to go in, Wei Kaitai has prepared the bedroom for the master, the master washes and repairs, and the slave turns back to beat the master's legs... ..."

"Kang Sanbao, are you messing around? Knowing that you are close to your master, don't shame your mother in front of the master. Prepare wine, prepare dishes, prepare singing and dancing, and those people below. It is serious to arrange it properly. Take care of you." Whether you pinch your master's legs or beat his back, it's your business even if you serve the bed, you men will talk about it behind closed doors." Hongtao is a bold and unrestrained person, and he can't bear this kind of pretentious intimacy.What are the big men doing to make Jiu Kuang look like a little daughter-in-law?He is holding the Shangyu flag, and there are few high-ranking officials on that flag, so why bully him with no one in his hands?He snorted and called back, "Little tree, take Feng'er and Yingying and go to my palace. I'm so busy, come and relieve my boredom."

Kang Sanbao was dumbfounded. It is too inappropriate for a prince to go out of Beijing on business and bring a woman with him.He was reprimanded and didn't dare to speak, only Nuonuo agreed, but when he saw a small bodyguard Gao Ying, bowing his waist, chasing up from behind with two bird cages, he realized that he dared to love Feng'er and Yingying It's not a woman, it's just two birds!
The chief eunuch in the palace was pacing back and forth on the gate of the big palace, and saw a group of people approaching from a distance, jumped down from the steps like flying, swept his sleeves with a clatter, planted rice seedlings respectfully, raised his head and smiled His face was full of flowers, "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and the two masters have finally arrived... Slave Wei Kaitai, please greet the lords."

The palace rules are the same as those in Beijing. Each palace and courtyard is equipped with special eunuchs and maids to serve. Among them is the head of the prime minister, who is the head of the palace.The person in charge here is called Wei Kaitai, and he led a group of young eunuchs to kowtow to salute. The set of rules is over. The master has the master's bedroom, and the guards have the guards. The eunuchs lead the way separately, and each finds his own place to go. up.

More than half of the palaces in the palace belonged to the state of having houses and not being able to live in them. Earlier, because the emperor and his concubines lived there, those palaces could not be moved even if they were empty.The princes of the direct line occasionally stay in, usually in the side halls on the East and West Roads, and Ding Yi waits on Qi Ye's bird, and follows them all the way into the inner garden.I can't appreciate the beautiful flowers and beautiful scenery, and I feel sick, probably because of the accumulated cold since I left Beijing.Arriving crookedly at Qiye's Wende Hall, Qiye sat on the throne with a big horse and a golden sword on the ground screen, took his Bailing, and Jiujiu whistled.

Dingyi was sweating from the pain, he really couldn't bear it, so he looked at Qi Ye with his head, and whispered: "Master, you are tired from the journey, you should rest for a while!"

Qi Ye said silently, "I'm not tired."

She was a little disappointed, "Then why don't you change your clothes? You see that your robes are all wet."

"Then what are you doing, it's so wet, I'll do it myself later." Qi Ye is a person who doesn't pay much attention to the outside, and he only cares about playing with it, so it doesn't matter if you bury it on your body, and said with a tusk, "I See why Feng'er's hair color is not as good as it should be? Don't just feed him refined grains, but also give him some rough food, and ask the cook to make a plate of chicken dregs and soybeans."

Ding Yi hesitated: "Master wants to eat this?"

Qi Ye stared at the bird, and turned his head after hearing what he said, "You only eat that! Your eyelids are so shallow, you have treated my bird badly..." Looking at his face again, it was ghostly white Yes, Qidao, "What's the matter? Did you hit the devil? Look at your face!"

She subconsciously wiped her face, "If you go back to Master, you're not feeling well."

Qi Ye looked at his hunched waist, and sneered: "You have a lot of tricks, you have a stomachache? You are quite precious, more delicate than Ye. Come on, go to your hut. I will have the bird Send you there, don’t live far away, tell Wei Kaitai that Xiqijian will find a room for you to accommodate you, so that I won’t be troubled by watching the birds come and go.”

She blushed, and responded awkwardly, but retreated outside the hall.The calf is twisted, and I can't move, what should I do, hurry up and find a place to clean up and nest!She clutched her belly and moved forward, the eunuch came up to lead the way, glanced at her and said, "What's the matter, is your stomach uncomfortable? Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"

She shook her head, she couldn't look at it, it was nothing more than stagnation of cold and damp, weak qi and blood, this was a woman's pulse, and it would be obvious if she looked at it.She said: "Please ask Mingda to arrange a room nearby for me. I am serving Qi Ye's birds, and Qi Ye has to be there whenever you want."

When the eunuch finished speaking, he led him to the top room, and when the door opened, he said, "This was Tatan, a man from the Jiqing Palace. Later, the master took his ladies to the Forbidden City. Half of the palace daughters were released, and the house was left unoccupied." Get off. You live here, not far from Qiye's bedroom, so it's convenient."

She thanked her and asked where Elder Twelfth lived. The little eunuch pointed to the west, "It's over there at Jisi Zhai." Then he bent down to look at her expression, "Can you do it like this? There is a Gong barrel in the room." , I’ll bring you another pot of tea, just take a sip of it when it’s hot.” ​​While talking, he withdrew, walked a few steps and remembered something, turned back outside the door, leaned forward and said, “Well, I think it’s better to have a few sips Wine is more useful. Can you drink it? I have a jar of old mash in my place, and I will send you a pot. You drink it to warm your body, maybe you caught cold on the road, just force the cold air out."

Dingyi hurriedly thanked, "Your heart is sincere and kind."

The eunuch said: "It's not worth anything. People here don't see people from Beijing all the year round. The people who come are just guests. Just don't think the wine is bad. The servants have no money to buy Daqu, and those who make small troubles all rely on it to relieve their fatigue." gone."

Dingyi sent him away with a few polite words, put his body back together, and then he went to lie down on the kang.The weather is not right, and it's not time yet. The kang is cold, and it's cold when you stretch your feet forward.She shivered and curled herself up as much as she could. It would be inconvenient to go out. If she was in Beijing, it might be better to find a soup lady to cook her stomach, but now she has to bear it.

She sighed, and pressed her lower abdomen with her hand, feeling the pain of falling, which she had never experienced before.Women always have taboos of one kind or another. She always feels that she can bear hardships, but when she is really sick, she is still helpless.

The eunuch came again after a while, carrying a copper tea hanging, pouring wine into the cup on the table.After being heated, the old mash has a hot aroma, reminding her of the sweet wine made by herself in summer.

"Come on, have a drink, get rid of illnesses, and strengthen your body without illnesses." The eunuch laughed, and it was something that someone who is extremely fond of wine would say.Bring the cup over and pass it forward, "This wine is not too strong, it's sweet, don't take a breath, just take a sip and fall asleep, and sleep is completely healed. People like us, take it as a panacea, and drink it when you have a cold. It, drink it when you have a fever, and drink it when you have a stomachache. It's really good after drinking it. Hey, you are Qiye's bird handle? Look like a guard..."

The wine was quite convincing, Ding Yi listened to him and drank it all in one gulp.After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "I am a bodyguard and a bird handle, and I have two errands in one person. Thank you very much today, and I will definitely give you a big gift when I am well."

The eunuch waved his hand, "It's not worth mentioning. It's not easy for everyone. If you don't care about each other, who cares about us, right? Come on, I still have an errand. I'm leaving now. You can rest well!" "

Dingyi tapped on the edge of the kang, "I can't see you off, please go."

The eunuch bowed his head and went away, she lay down again, the wine entered her stomach, and the heat spread all the way, I can't tell if it is useful, anyway, my body is warmer.Ding Yi has a nickname of "Half Mouth Pour", she can't get drunk, she gets drunk when she gets drunk.This time there was no way, Qi Ye knew she was sick anyway, so it didn't matter if she got drunk.Without any scruples in his heart, he drank a glass straight down his throat, so he would undoubtedly be drunk.Get drunk as long as you feel comfortable, and don't care too much.

She fell asleep with the quilt covered, and when the alcohol came on, she couldn't open her eyelids as soon as they got stuck.Somebody came in vaguely, she squinted open a crack to look, the person came with the light behind him, the weather was bad, the room was dark at first, so she couldn't really see around, only saw a tall, tall figure, sitting on the edge of her kang down.

"Who is it?" She sounded like she was dreaming, her whole body was weak, and she couldn't even control her tongue.The man didn't speak, and reached into her bed, she muttered and pushed him, "What are you groping for?"

In fact, he didn't touch blindly, he just found her hand, pulled it out, and put three warm fingers on her wrist.

The man felt her pulse, but she didn't need it, and struggled to shrink back, he finally spoke, "Don't move."

She was confused, but she could tell it was Lord Twelfth.He was very vigilant before, but when he knew it was him, he relaxed, put his other arm on his forehead and muttered: "I'm worrying you again, I'm fine, it's just...not good." He choked up slightly, "I never... just Not good."

Hong Ce glanced at her, but said nothing.His blood was inherited from the Supreme Emperor, and his temperament and personality are not quite like the emperor's father. Only his dedication to medical skills followed the Supreme Emperor.At the beginning, the Supreme Emperor studied medicine to treat Prince Dongli's illness, while he himself studied medicine for his own ears.Although he exhausted all methods, the situation did not improve, but he hit the right spot a little bit, he became a good doctor after a long illness, and cured common diseases, at least much better than the doctor who rang the bell on the street.

Male left female right, male size female inch.The chi pulse is slightly delayed, the pulse of deficiency and cold.After he finished calling, he sat for a long time with frowned eyebrows. Judging from the pulse condition alone, it would be arbitrary to determine whether this person is a man or a woman, but the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help it.

The quilt of the person on the kang was pulled high, covering the part below the lips, he thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to uncover it.The guards wear false collars, which are framed and fastened with a hard lining, commonly known as ox tongues.He stared at Shi Qing's false collar for a long time, he was drunk, is he taking advantage of his danger in this situation?If he didn't remove the collar, he was so ambiguous, and he didn't know what to do with him, and he wasn't sure how to treat him in the future.

I've never been so nervous before, and I can't control myself.All you need to do is take the buckle apart and take a look, and you'll know, my man, you should have an Adam's apple if you don't grow it.Usually the false collar is held up high enough to cover his entire neck, but now that he is lying flat, he doesn't need much, as long as his throat is raised a little.

He breathed deeply several times, his fingertips trembling slightly.He leaned over, getting closer and closer, the people on the kang were not very stable, their brows were raised and their cheeks were flushed, under closer inspection he almost forgot his original intention.

If it's a man, it shouldn't be a problem to take off the collar, but if it's a woman...he also made up his mind, just give her an explanation.

He gritted his teeth and touched the buckle, but before he could untie it, he held his hand.He was startled, Master Kang had already woken up, staring at him with scorching eyes, expressionless.Hong Ce felt embarrassed immediately, as if he had been taken away by a thief.Just thinking about what to say to prevaricate, Mu Xiaoshu pulled his arm over, turned over, and pressed the back of his hand against his hot cheek.

"Oh, it's really cool." He tilted his head, and said with a silly smile, "Master Twelfth, are you here?" As he spoke, he stepped inside and patted the edge of the kang, "Come on, lie down and watch the stars."

Lie down and look at the stars?He thought he was quite drunk, so he forgot what he did just now, right?Hongce heaved a sigh of relief, only to realize that the skin under his hands was smoother than he had imagined, and the wind, food, and night out did not destroy him, what a strange word!He didn't know what he was thinking, so he turned his wrist and put his fingertips on his cheeks, slowly rubbing it inch by inch, and said in a low voice: "I told someone before that you are sick? How are you doing now? Are you feeling better? "

He groaned, turned his head, and rubbed against his hand like a cat, "It's much better, it doesn't hurt anymore. I drank some wine, which was given to me by Jinda here...it tastes good." He changed again With drowsy eyes, he pointed to the table, "See if there is any more, pour me another glass, let's... Cheers."

He laughed helplessly, the wine tasted rather good, he wasn't crazy about drinking, but his thinking was a bit confused.If you want to drink more, it will be impossible. He turned around and called Shatong outside the door, "Bring hot tea..." Thinking about it wrong, he repeated, "Cake two more eggs and add more brown sugar."

Sha Tong opened his mouth and made a sound. Isn't it confinement, eating boiled eggs with brown sugar?Their master really didn't know how to take care of people, but he definitely didn't dare to talk too much, so he did it quickly.

Hong Ce turned around again, and said softly, "I've got someone to do it, bear with it for now. You can't drink any more wine, and if you don't drink it, you'll be a fool."

He hummed and sighed deeply, "When will we arrive at Changbai Mountain... The weather is bad, it seems like a leak, it's raining so much, the time is delayed."

He seemed to pay special attention to Changbai Mountain, and Hongce also tried to talk to him, "The delay will only be more than half a month! Do you have acquaintances in Changbai Mountain? Otherwise, why do you keep thinking about going there?"

He moved his lips twice, without making a sound, closed his eyes, and tears came down.This time his guess seemed to be confirmed, but he said slowly again, "I'm just fed up with the ups and downs, I'll go to Changbai Mountain earlier, and I'll go to Ninggu Pagoda sooner after I'm done, the errand is done... our family Go, I... find my master."

After all, it is a child, and always misses home after going out for a long time.He said, "At first you were not asked to follow, but you refused to listen. Now you know how powerful it is?"

"What's on my mind... I can't say it, it's a crime to speak out." He staggered to support himself, stared at him blankly for a long time, and started crying again.Shaking his head from side to side to show himself, his face moved forward, "Master Twelfth, do you look at my face, does it look like it belongs to Coptis chinensis?" It was buzzing in his chest, but unfortunately he couldn't see it.
