Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 285 Taoyuan Town

Fu Xuanrong nodded, "That's true. Today, Old General Xu seems to be harsh and indifferent to his daughter, but he is actually making the final plan for her. He said these words in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, which is tantamount to threatening, after all A slap can't make a sound, if the crown prince didn't follow suit, there wouldn't be an incident of unmarried pregnancy. If he treats this side concubine who has been ridiculed for him in the future, he will really be scolded to death .”

Xiao Ru was very moved, "I really pity the parents of the world."

"Well, it's getting late, let's go back separately."

"it is good."

Several people returned home in a carriage, and Fu Xuanrong leaned against the corner of the carriage with a gloomy expression.

Li Junhao saw her thoughts, and comforted her in a low voice: "This matter is not your fault, there is no need to blame yourself."

"I didn't expect Old General Xu to do such a thing. Li Junhao, did I calculate too much?" Her conscience was really disturbed when a benevolent minister was forced to such a desolate place.

"No, Xu An's temperament will cause big trouble sooner or later. Besides, General Xu is old, so it's time to retire and recuperate."

"Then once he leaves, who will lead the Northern Border City Defense Army?" In the imperial court, I am afraid that people with such qualifications can be counted on one hand.

"Father hasn't made a conclusion yet, but according to my guess, the person he prefers should be Shaoqing."

Fu Xuanrong's eyes widened in shock, "Who?! Shaoqing?"

Although Gu Shaoqing fought in the battlefield at a young age, but after all, he was only in his early twenties, how could he take on this important task?
"The Gu family is full of loyalty, and Shaoqing is loyal. The other generals are either too old or ambitious. The northern border city defense army is the most important hurdle to guard the capital and lead the six armies. How can the father let someone who is worried take over? ?”

"Li Junhao, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for Shaoqing to take over Beijiang." Since ancient times, generals with too much power in their hands will not end well. Gu Shaoqing doesn't have much scheming, and he doesn't know the art of maneuvering. I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect himself .

"I understand, but as long as I'm in court, I'll protect him all the time." Back then, Shaoqing put on his armor and fought on the battlefield for him, and now he should do something for this brother who was close to life and death.

"Well, that's fine, let's not talk about this, after this trip back to the mansion, let's take some time to go out for a stroll?" Now that spring is approaching and everything is recovering, what's the fun of staying in the mansion all day, or we should go out more to bask in the sun , good to see the world.

"Where do you want to go?" He rarely left Kyoto, so he didn't know much about what to see.

Fu Xuanrong rubbed her chin, "I heard that there is a Taoyuan Town [-] miles away from Kyoto, where the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, stretching for dozens of miles, like a fairyland, do you want to go and see it together?"

Flower viewing?This kind of thing is probably more suitable for noble ladies and ladies traveling together, but he didn't want to spoil Fu Xuanrong's interest.

"Really go?"

"Yeah, what's the truth? There's also the best peach blossom wine there. It's said to be more intoxicating than Jingzhong fine wine. I'll buy a few jars and bury them under the tree. Next year, Shaoqing will return with a big victory." , have a good drink."

"Well, that's as you said." The two have been married for so long and have been busy with government affairs. It's true that they haven't had a good time to relax for a long time. This time, it's just half a day of leisure, and it won't affect the business.

Fu Xuanrong is a person who says that the wind is the rain. During the day, she just said that she was going to enjoy the flowers, and she packed her luggage when she returned home that day.

It's a pity that God seems to be against him deliberately. Just as she was about to turn into a peacock, the system's disastrous voice sounded in her head.

[System prompt]: The latest task, the host needs to investigate the truth of the murder case in Taoyuan Town within ten days. Completing it will reward you with +50 physical strength, and if you fail, you will be punished with a halved court prestige.

Fu Xuanrong looked up to the sky and sighed, "I went out on my honeymoon, and you actually brought me a murder case? Aren't you playing with me?!"

[System Prompt]: Are you sure the host wants to give up the mission?
"... You thought I was farting just now! But can you give me some hints, what kind of murder is it?"

[System Prompt]: This task requires the host to investigate by itself, without any prompt.

"Oh, I got it, I got it." I hope this so-called case won't be too bad.

The next day.

The carriage swayed from the capital to Taoyuan Town. Fu Xuanrong lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside. The "ding ding dong dong" sound blown by the warm wind was really pleasant to hear.

"The spring is just right, and it really is the most suitable for traveling."

Li Junhao was wearing a crescent-colored nobleman's shirt today, and the black hair was not tied up, but scattered behind him at will. He sat with Fu Xuanrong, looking like an ordinary couple who came out to play together, "Well, I have told Xiaofeng to find it. You can stay at the inn when you arrive.”

"Is it by the peach blossom forest?"

"It's not reliable, but it's not too far away. You can get there in half an hour by riding a horse."

Fu Xuanrong was puzzled, "Is that forest very remote?"

She thought that Taoyuan Town was built in the peach blossom forest, but she didn't expect that it was a long way away, so her interest was a little bit less at this moment.

"It's not remote, it's surrounded by mountains and rivers, and surrounded by mist. Although the scenery is excellent, it's not suitable for ordinary people to live in."

"Why?"

"When the peach blossoms are gone, peaches will be born in summer. They are sweet and attract many bugs."

Fu Xuanrong imagined the feeling of the bugs falling on the skin, and instantly got goosebumps all over her body, "Stop talking about it."

Li Junhao laughed almost imperceptibly, "Sit down, we're almost there."

"Ah."

About an hour later, the two had arrived in front of the inn.

Although this town is not very big, it is very prosperous. There are many vendors sitting on the spot, selling all kinds of novelty items, which is much more interesting than the capital city.

Seeing Fu Xuanrong and Li Junhao, the owner of the inn greeted them warmly, "Do you two want to eat or stay in the hotel?"

"I have sent someone to request two upper rooms in advance."

The boss was stunned for a moment, then he slapped his forehead and said: "Yes yes yes, look at me, I almost forgot, please go upstairs, both of you."

Fu Xuanrong and Li Junhao went to the private room together. Although it was not as spacious and exquisite as the capital, it was considered clean and tidy. Besides, there was nothing to pay attention to when going out.

"The two guest officials greet you at any time if you have something to do, so don't be polite."

"Wait a minute, I really want to ask you something right now. I wonder if the boss has time. Let's buy you a cup of tea?"

Fu Xuanrong's attire looks like a wealthy person, of course the boss will not refuse, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

The three sat down together, Fu Xuanrong politely filled the boss with a cup of tea, and planned to knock his mouth open with silver, "I said boss, do you have any good peach blossom wine here?"

"Yes! Of course, you can have as many as you want!"

"Okay! Give me five jars later, if you are satisfied with the drink, go back and order more than ten jars!"

The boss smiled with joy, "Okay! I'll deliver it to you in a while, and I guarantee your satisfaction!"
