MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 139 Counterfeit
Shangyuan Festival, this year Beijing and Central China is also a lantern festival, nothing new.
In previous years, she couldn't go out at night. Only when there were programs on Chang'an Avenue during the Shangyuan and Mid-Autumn Festival, Wen Tingchun would be extra merciful and let her two older brothers take her out.
Whether there is something new or not, Wen Ning will join in the fun.
But this year, perhaps because of the better excitement in Jiangnan, Wen Ning suddenly felt quite boring.
When Linglan asked her if she wanted to go out for a stroll, she shook her head disinterestedly.
She didn't go out and didn't have anything else interesting to do, so Wen Ning went to bed early.
During the Shangyuan Festival, the imperial court had another three-day rest, and the capital city where officials walked everywhere was more lively than New Year's Eve. The pharmacy has already been taken care of, and it will only open after the Lantern Festival, so there is no need for her to go again.
Ke Wen Ning knew that Pei You didn't like excitement, so he decided to stay at home for these three days.
She didn't really want to stay in the same yard with him, so she simply changed into men's clothes, slipped out to find Duan Rushuang, and the two went to the pharmacy together.
"The imperial court rests for three days, don't you need to accompany the son?" Duan Rushuang was extremely puzzled by her "free time" at this time.
"Why should I stay with him?"
It's funny, it's just a fake couple. She won't be like some people who think they are real couples.
Duan Rushuang looked at her expression, understood something at once, rolled her eyes, and said: "But I asked your second brother to go to Ci'en Temple tomorrow, and I asked him to go to Wanggui Mountain together the next day."
Wen Ning looked at Duan Rushuang in surprise, okay, these two really got together?
She didn't even have time to ask Wen Qi if she knew the girl in her previous life.
Moreover, there was no intention of inviting her to go with these words. One doesn't want a friend, the other doesn't want a sister, right?
snort.
Wen Ning had no choice but to return to the Duke's Mansion.
Originally, he wanted to change back to his normal attire and go find his elder brother and sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, the boy who delivered the post would reply before the time for burning incense, saying that both Wen Lan and He Luan had gone out of Beijing with Wen Tingchun to play, and they would not be back until two days later.
In the end she was left alone.
Linglan was probably afraid that she would be bored, so she found some colorful feathers somewhere, and made a beautiful shuttlecock with a few copper plates as the base.
Having not played for many years, Wen Ning had a great time playing. After playing for an afternoon, she recalled all the fancy kicks that she was good at in her mind.
As long as you are at home, you will inevitably run into Pei You.
The first time she was trimming the flowers and plants in the yard. Before, she thought Qinghui Hall was too deserted, so she added a lot of flowers and plants. After the Shangyuan period, spring will begin. If you take care of it properly, there will be flowers blooming everywhere in the yard.
She was very busy and wanted to go into the room to take off a coat. When she looked up, she saw Pei You standing by the window of the study.
That window used to be open, but it was usually closed in the cold winter.
He was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, which made his complexion extraordinarily fair, and his eyebrows and eyes looked particularly pale.
The four eyes met, and there was no wave in his eyes, and he only reached out to close the window.
The second time she went with Linglan to deliver snacks to the eldest princess. It's not for fulfilling the duties of the "Mrs. Shizi", but for admiring what she has done in the past. During the Lantern Festival, I want her to feel a little bit more in my heart.
As soon as I arrived at Fuquyuan, I bumped into Pei You coming out of it.
The two glanced at each other, retracted their eyes, and passed by.
The third time was the last day of the imperial court's rest. She kicked the shuttlecock in the yard. She probably remembered those fancy kicks, but she was not yet proficient. She accidentally kicked the shuttlecock into the air.
It just hit Pei You who brought Gu Fei into the yard.
Linglan didn't dare go to pick it up, so she went there by herself, bent down to pick up the shuttlecock on the ground, and left.
No salute, no apology.
Why did she salute? It was he who broke the agreement first.
Why do you have to apologize? He tore up the He Li book for her, and never apologized to her.
At first, Wen Ning was still angry, thinking that he was inexplicable and unreasonable. She clearly disliked her before, and only then got along peacefully for more than a month, as if the two had sworn to each other.
Even if she really had a past with Mr. Yi, what does it have to do with him?
It's just that she took the title of wife of his eldest son, and his paranoid possessiveness is causing trouble.
He will be angry when he is angry, and she will not spend her time coaxing him like before.
She has figured it out these days.
He lived back in his study again, and he didn't bother her for dinner, and they didn't even need to say hello when they met.
He'd better ignore her all the time, she couldn't wish for it! -
The Lantern Festival is over, and the weather is gradually getting warmer.
On Luoyang Road, a humble pharmacy opened quietly. The layout of the pharmacy is fresh, focusing on herbs from the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a young doctor who has the temperament of a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River sitting behind the curtain.
Because there was no publicity, and the storefront was a bit off, for several days in a row, the front of the gate was deserted, and many people who lived nearby didn't know that there was actually a medicine shop here.
The shop owner didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't intend to try to drum up popularity like other shops. The two young gentlemen and the young doctor opened the door at 3:00 and closed at 3:00 every day. Not like a businessman.
The three quarters of Shenshi is also the time when the ministries of the imperial court are on duty.
After the Shangyuan Festival, there are new shops opening on Chang'an Avenue almost every day, so the traffic is particularly congested these days.
Gu Fei impetuously pulled the carriage back and forth, seeing another shop in front of him beating gongs, drums, singing and dancing, he hugged his chest and cursed secretly.
During the day, the gongs and drums are noisy, but in the afternoon, there will be another visit, and a shop will come for three days. This first month is impossible to pass!
Speaking of which, their wife's pharmacy also opened a while ago.
Hey, the husband and wife quarrels here are all at the head of the bed.
Mrs. 's pharmacy opened, he didn't say anything, and he didn't even ask a question.
Gu Fei looked at Wanfangzhai not far ahead, and his heart skipped a beat.
The masters quarreled, and it was they, the servants, who suffered. The son was in a good mood a while ago, so it would be nice to mention the difference, but these days, even his colleagues from the Ministry of Industry came to him to complain, asking if the son of his family had a firecracker at home on the Lantern Festival.
Counting your fingers, this time the fight has been going on for almost half a month, so it should... calm down?
Gu Fei took a deep breath, I will go to **** who will go to hell, fight it out!
"My lord, I don't think the front can be cleared for a while." Gu Fei opened the curtain of the car and leaned half of his body, "Wanfangzhai is not far away, how about... my subordinates go and buy two packs of dim sum?"
Pei You was holding a scroll in his hand, and when Gu Fei pulled the curtain and walked in, he was also looking at the golden plaque in front of him.
Gu Fei knew there was something going on at the first sight. After so long, Shizi reckoned that he was also looking for a step down.
I didn't want Pei You to look at it for a while, lowered her eyelashes lightly, and asked him, "Where is Yingyao?"
Gu Fei scratched his head, not understanding why he suddenly asked Yingyao, counted the time in his heart, and replied: "The road to Shu is dangerous and difficult, probably our people... haven't arrived yet."
He frowned, did not answer, and only looked back at the scroll.
Here... can I still buy pastries?
Gu Fei was about to speak again, when someone under the car suddenly called him: "Gu Guard, what a coincidence, we bumped into each other here!"
Gu Fei turned around and got out of the carriage, frowning when he saw someone coming.
It's that Fourth Highness again.
A while ago, he came to the engineering department almost every day to block him, but after the Lantern Festival, I haven't seen him for some days.
Seeing that he was turning around, his back was slightly bent, and he presented a picture scroll with both hands, he said politely: "Your Highness has worked so hard to find Treasure to draw a picture, and I ask Guard Gu to pass it on for you."
-
"Are you sure, he will come up to see the painting after seeing it?"
In the private room of Jufeng Pavilion, the wooden window facing the street was wide open. Chu Heng stood in front of it with his hands behind his back, staring at the carriage not far away, while asking the servants beside him.
People outside the palace, Fan Liu didn't take the whisk, but still bent over habitually, and said in a shrill voice: "Your Highness, the prince has been looking for her for so long, as long as he looks at the portrait, whether he believes it or not, he will come up to her." Just take a look and go."
Chu Heng turned around, his slightly sinister eyes fell on the face of the woman in coarse clothes and no makeup behind her.
It took a lot of effort in the past few months, but I only found this one who was 50% similar.
Fortunately, the portrait of Xiaoya was originally taken when she was eight or nine years old. Over the years, her appearance should have changed somewhat.
Although her eyebrows and eyes are not so similar, she is thin and thin, with a plain face and wearing a commoner dress, she looks more like the person in the painting than the Wen's daughter.
Fan Liu saw Chu Heng's expression, stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, all backgrounds have been wiped out, and there will be no mistakes."
Chu Heng is still looking at the woman who is bowing her head: "Pei You is shrewd, maybe he can't imagine that this is just a counterfeit that we win over him, in case..."
"That's why His Highness is a real dragon, and you must be blessed by God." Fan Liu approached Chu Heng, and said with a smile, "The man in the Duke's mansion is having a temper with the prince for some reason."
"Our people can't get in Qinghui Hall, but the situation outside can be clearly seen. That person is probably arrogant because of his favor. This has been going on for half a month. Seeing that the prince can't even be polite, The prince has been annoyed recently."
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, and Fan Liu continued: "Even if the prince sees that this is a counterfeit, isn't the man in the house... not also a counterfeit? But this one of us is gentle and caring, understanding, and won't give it to the prince. Grandpa blocked it."
Fan Liu said, and said to the woman: "Yinyin, show your Highness a smile."
The woman named "Yinyin" immediately showed her face and showed her teeth, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she really became lively.
Only then did Chu Heng's face look a little better.
He is a man, of course he knows men best.
How can a savage shrew who has already married and eaten at home compare to the gentle and careless Xie Yuhua outside?
"Look, Your Highness." Fan Liu glanced out of the window, bowed and smiled, "The prince is here."
