Fortunately met when I was not married

Chapter 17

Chapter 15 Peers

When Sister Su came back from Xiulu, Pei Yunkuang actually followed her to Suzaku Courtyard.

Si Tian was sitting by the window reading a book, when he suddenly saw him stepping into the room, he was startled, hurriedly put down the book in his hand and stood up to salute.

Standing at the door with his backlit, he is as gentle and elegant as a beautiful jade, yet expensive beyond words.This is the first time she has seen a person who is so harmoniously blended with humility and dignity.

He waved his sleeves and smiled: "As I said just now, there are no outsiders, don't be polite. This king is building a good reputation as a friendly corporal everywhere. You have to cooperate." He was joking again.

Si Tian wanted to laugh, she had never seen or heard of such a prince.Regardless of his appearance, just judging from his tone of voice and the agility and awe at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, he couldn't help but fade away.

He cut to the chase and said, "I heard from Su Pian that your mother is sick and I suspect it was poisoned. I happen to know a famous doctor named Liang Guoren. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

As soon as the name "Liang Guoren" came to her ears, her heart pounded wildly.How could she not know him?His surname was Zhao, and he was a famous doctor in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Because of his meritorious service in treating the emperor, he was left in Shangjing, and his surname was Liang.She always dreamed that one day, after saving money, she would take her mother to Beijing. She heard that he was very arrogant.

Surprised and apprehensive, she asked cautiously: "My lord, what do you mean, can I take my mother to find him?" She was afraid that if she spoke louder, she would awaken the dream.

Pei Yunkuang said seriously: "I mean, of course I don't want you to take your mother there."

She felt a chill in her heart, and hope was fleeting.Then why did he mention this name, did he intend to tempt her?
He paused, then smiled: "How about I take your mother?"

How could he do this, sometimes making people uncomfortable and sometimes making people happy.She was so happy that she couldn't speak, her fingers pinched her palm secretly, it hurt so much, it wasn't a dream.She was amused and annoyed in her heart. Is he a prince? Why is he so fond of being funny?

He seemed to be very happy to see her so lively and lively, so he actually laughed.

She was full of joy, but felt that most people who liked to make jokes seemed to be unreliable in their actions, especially since he was a prince, how could he take the trivial things of a commoner like her seriously?So she asked anxiously again: "Thank you, my lord. Can you really let him see my mother?"

He nodded and said: "Really." Then he frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied and said: "Little girl, would I still lie to you? How should I say, I am also a prince."

He began to joke seriously again.I don't know why, but this little girl in front of him makes him feel very funny. In fact, he seldom jokes. Only when he goes to Lanzhou Mountain and Shao Pei can he relax and feel that he is a young man.Usually, he has one set of masks, so many that he can't count them, and he can do whatever he wants, just raise his hand.

"Su Pian and I will leave for Beijing later, you pack up and go with us, and meet your mother at the foot of the mountain."

He went out after speaking.It took only a moment from when he entered the room and said what he wanted straight to the point, to when he made a final decision and turned to leave.Between the jokes, the words are concise and decisive.

She was so happy that she almost jumped up, did she really start to change her luck?The bad days seemed to be leaving her, and curing her mother was her greatest wish.Good luck hit her head just like that.It seems that there is still his breath in the room, warm and kind, like a cup of fragrant rice wine, which makes people feel warm and smoky.

She has nothing to pack, just a small bundle of two clothes.She arrived at Xiulu with Sister Su, Pei Yunkuang was talking to Shao Pei, and Shang Yu was also there.The moment he saw him, Si Tian smiled slightly at him.The corner of his mouth moved, but he didn't know whether he was smiling or not.

Seeing them coming, Pei Yunkuang set off.Shao Pei sent them out of Xiulu.

Shang Yu couldn't help walking behind her. As soon as the mountain gate opened, the breeze rushed in and blew all her hair back. On the sleeve of his hand, and on his white shirt, it seemed to be written in wild cursive, and after a long stroke, the aftertaste was lingering.

His heart moved, and he really wanted to save this strand of blue hair.But the black hair fell down, and the white sleeves were clean and spotless, without any trace of being there.

Shao Pei stopped and said to Pei Yunkuang, "My lord, take care all the way."

Si Tian bid farewell to his master, and when his gaze fell on Shang Yu's face, he met his gaze. He seemed to be watching her all the time, his eyes burning and thoughtful.She was a little uncomfortable, smiled at him, turned and went down the stone steps.

At the foot of the mountain, there are two sedan chairs waiting under the steps.Obviously Pei Yunkuang prepared a sedan chair for Su Pian.Su Pian and Si Tian got into the sedan chair, and under Si Tian's guidance, they went to Aunt Yang's house.Xi Ran was delighted by the sudden appearance of this luck, but she was also a little worried. Ever since the accident at home, she was like a frightened bird, whenever something good happened, she wanted to imagine something bad.But looking at Si Tian's excited and expectant face, and Su Pian and Pei Yunkuang's outstanding demeanor, he felt that he and his daughter were ordinary people, and now they were so poor that they were almost begging, so what was there for them to covet?So he put down his guard and followed them gratefully.

Su Pian and Pei Yunkuang took the same sedan chair, Si Tian's mother and daughter took the same sedan chair, and headed for the city.After entering Xinzhou City for half an hour, the sedan chair stopped.Si Tian helped his mother down and found that the sedan chair was parked at Anqing Palace.A group of uniformed attendants and three carriages were waiting in front of the mansion.

It turned out that he was King Anqing.Si Tian remembered that his father had mentioned the name King Anqing, saying that he was generous and kind, and he ruled well, which was a blessing for the people of Xinzhou.She was young and had no interest in political affairs, so she only knew the name of King Anqing, but she didn't know that King Anqing was called Pei Yunkuang.

The three carriages were all beautifully decorated. Standing in front of the first carriage, Pei Yunkuang said to Si Tian and Su Pian, "Take the one in the middle. The carriage is very spacious." After saying that, he boarded the first carriage. carriage.

Si Tian got into the carriage and admired secretly.Even though her family used to be well-clothed, well-fed and luxurious, the carriage had never been decorated like this.The car was covered with snow-white blankets, which immediately made people cautious, for fear of getting dirt and dust.Fruits and dried fruits are all available on the small ebony table.There are short tables and silk quilts, which is like a small and exquisite bedroom.

The carriage left Xinzhou City and arrived at Huzuipo after half a day. The speed of the carriage slowed down.

Daliang established its capital in Beijing, and Luoyang was designated as the eastern capital. The emperor often lived in the eastern capital for several months during the spring and autumn seasons.Xinzhou is located near Dongdu and is the fiefdom of King Anqing.This place is located in the Central Plains, rich in fish and rice, and the official roads are flat and spacious. There is only Huzuipo here, because a mountain range of Lanzhou Mountain spreads here, and the terrain is a bit steep and complicated.

Si Tian felt that the carriage was slightly bumpy, so he gently lifted the curtain on the small window to take a look outside.Xi Ran asked, "Where are you?"

Si Tian put down the curtain and was about to answer, when suddenly there was a loud noise in his ear, as if something heavy had hit the road, the horse in front of the carriage neighed a few times and stopped, as if frightened.

Su Pian's complexion changed drastically, she hastily grabbed Si Tian's hand, and pulled her aside.

Si Tian was about to stick his head out to check the situation, when he suddenly heard a commotion, and then the sound of shouting and killing, which was actually close to him, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly, apparently just outside the carriage.She hugged her mother in panic.What's wrong?Was it attacked?
Su Pian whispered: "Don't make a sound."

Then, the carriage shook for a while, as if a heavy object had hit the carriage, a corner of the carriage suddenly collapsed, and a thin wooden beam hit Su Pian's foot.The three of them squeezed together, their faces pale and their hearts beating wildly.

A corner of the carriage collapsed, and the situation outside the carriage was immediately clear. Pei Yunkuang's attendants and some black-clothed masked men were killing each other. Under the shadow of swords and swords, there was shocking and glaring blood splattered on the spot!
Seeing the bloody killing for the first time, Si Tian felt that his mother's body was trembling slightly, why didn't she?Fighting close at hand, it seemed that the cold light of the sword was about to break through the air and drink blood, she retreated desperately, but there was no way to avoid it.

When she was in danger, time lost its measure. She didn't know how long it had passed, was it an hour or a moment?She wanted to close her eyes and not look at it, but she watched the blood splatter in front of her eyes, and the bloody smell was released infinitely in the consciousness of fear, it seemed so strong that people dared not breathe.Every time the man in black took a step forward, she felt that she was close to death, and she was so flustered that she couldn't think about anything, only thinking about whether she and her mother would die here?
Pei Yunkuang didn't have many guards, but he was good at martial arts. The masked man who attacked was eventually lost, most of them died and escaped.

Huzuipo, calm and terrifying.

Su Pian opened the broken curtain and jumped out of the carriage, and when she landed, she let out a low cry. She was too panicked just now, and now she felt pain at the place where the wooden beam hit.She supported the carriage and watched Pei Yunkuang striding over.

He seemed to be an unsuspecting passerby passing by by chance, his expression was calm, his body was clean and spotless, only a few drops of blood on his sleeve proved that he was here just now.

Su Pian teased slightly, and raised the corners of her lips: "I haven't seen you for three years, and the prince is even more recruiting thieves now."

He smiled helplessly at her, as if nothing happened, as if he was used to it.

He raised his eyebrows: "Are you okay?"

Su Pian shook her head.

He came over and opened the curtain casually.In the carriage, Si Tian huddled inside, his face was pale, and his clear eyes were extraordinarily large, like a frightened deer.

Sure enough, it was still a little girl, he wanted to laugh, and stretched out his hand to her.

Seeing his calm expression, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she wanted to get off the carriage, but she was too weak to put her hand in his.

He smiled, took a step forward, stretched out his arms and pulled her up, then carried her off the carriage, and helped Xi Ran down again.

He was calm, almost at ease.She was stunned by his smile and peace, and the heart that was raised in her throat was placed in her stomach by his calm smile.The scene just now seemed like a dream, or a scene. After the fleeting image, she just felt in a daze, and even his smile, which was right in front of her eyes, felt ethereal and far away.

How could he be so calm and laugh?
"Madam Si, Miss Si, I'm shocked. This king has troubled you."

Xi Ran came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "My lord doesn't dare to say that. How can we take it on?"

"I have always used this carriage. I had good intentions. I thought Mrs. Si was not in good health and could not be bumped. I don't want to be the target of thieves. I am really sorry."

He pointed to the carriage in front of him and said with a smile: "Now we have to squeeze first, and then we can get a carriage when we get to the posthouse."

After speaking, he looked at the men in black on the ground, and told the guard who was turning over their clothes: "Don't look through them, there must be nothing. Get on the road."

The four of them took the first carriage together, Su Pian got into the carriage, took off her shoes and socks to check the injury on her feet, Si Tian and Xi Ran asked with concern at the same time: "How is it?"

Su Pian smiled: "It's nothing serious, it will be fine after a few days of lameness."

"Sister Su, I have ointment here, you can rub it on." Si Tian suddenly remembered the ointment Shang Yu gave her, and she brought a box with her, and quickly took it out.

Su Pian glanced at it and said in surprise, "Oh, this is gold and jade ointment, where did you get it?"

"Eldest brother gave it to me." She didn't dare to say that he hit her palm, fearing that her mother who was sitting next to her would feel distressed.But what is Jinyu Paste?She really doesn't know, is it very expensive?
Pei Yunkuang glanced at her, pursed the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully: "This boy, I gave him good things, but he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha."

The prince sent him?It seems that it should be more expensive.She asked nervously, "Is this ointment expensive?"

Pei Yunkuang fanned the wind twice with his sleeve, and said leisurely, "It's not expensive."

Just as she wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he said again: "A box is only 20 taels of silver."

"What?" Si Tian almost jumped up from the carriage.

"Silly girl, it's not expensive to call it Jinyupao." Su Pian smiled seeing her surprised and terrified appearance.

Her heart moved, and she was really embarrassed to say it out. He actually gave her two boxes.

Su Pian rubbed some ointment on her feet, and there was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Four people sat together, it was a little crowded, and it was also a little hot.

Pei Yunkuang picked up a folding fan on the small table, shook it a few times, and smiled at Su Pian: "The news that I am going to Shangjing is very tightly sealed. That is to say, I went to write a letter to the palace of Shangjing to let them clean up." I went to live there for a few days. It seems that there are people from them in my palace."

Su Pian glanced at him and said, "My lord, is your clean nature more important, or your life?"

Pei Yunkuang said seriously: "Of course cleanliness is the most important thing."

Su Pian had no temper and snorted: "Your palace is not messy or dirty even if you don't tidy it up. I'm afraid you wrote the letter on purpose?"

He closed the folding fan in his hand, and smiled slightly: "Whether you mean it or not, let's not talk about it. Su Pian, you can think of a way to try to find out if there are any of them in my house, that's what matters."

Si Tian and his mother were silent and did not dare to speak out. Both of them could tell that although Pei Yunkuang and Su Pian were understating it, what they were talking about seemed to be a political matter, and their lives were at stake.

Su Pian was silent for a moment, then said: "My lord, I remember that you used to like shrimp the most. I haven't seen you for three years. I don't know if your preference has changed?"

He squinted his eyes and chuckled: "It hasn't changed, I am a very long-term lover."

The word "long love", he deliberately said it with a lot of affection.Si Tian glanced at him, was he still joking at this moment?
Su Pian said sternly: "That's good. When they go back this time, they must invite the prince to the mansion for a banquet. When the prince goes back, just tell the cook in the mansion that he has a rash on his body when he eats shrimp recently, so they won't let him cook shrimp. The lord's preferences are also well known, in a few days, the lord will go to the mansion for a banquet to see if there are shrimps in their dishes. If there are no shrimps in their dishes, it is estimated that there are people from them in the mansion, and they passed the word in time."

Pei Yunkuang nodded: "That's a good idea, but there's no guarantee that they will knowingly serve this dish on purpose. After all, they've been dealing with each other for several years, and they're so cunning and cunning that they don't seem human at all."

"Then the prince will eat more prawns to make them feel that the information received by the people who are placed in the palace is not reliable."

Pei Yunkuang hooked the corners of his lips, and his smile was a little far-reaching: "Actually, I have already guessed who it is."

Su Pian asked anxiously, "Who?"

He frowned, trying to whet people's appetite: "I won't say. If you knew, you would definitely deal with him when you go back. I still have him for use. Isn't it good to have a messenger in the house?"

Su Pian had no choice but to grit her teeth and said, "We were almost killed by him, and you still cover up this mole?"

He waved two fans, and suddenly said calmly: "Isn't this still dead?" After finishing speaking, he pointed at Su Pian with the folding fan, and smiled at Si Tian: "You see, she is very mean, she gets angry every now and then. "

Si Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this was a matter of life and death, he was stingy and generous, and he was clearly avoiding the important and changing the subject.

Su Pian angrily ignored him, turned her head to look at the back of her feet, her feet soon became swollen, and she stretched her shoes too high.

He still had a magnanimous look, and persuaded him with good intentions: "Su Pian, getting angry is not conducive to recovery. Look at me, I don't even get angry when someone kills me."

Su Pian glanced at him and lost her temper.
