Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 213 The Road Up the Mountain

Let's say that the carriage of Daiyu and the three of them left with Master Zheng Jin, and Xiangyun held Daiyu's hand tightly in the carriage, looking very flustered.Daiyu comforted softly: "Sister Yun, don't be afraid, the master outside is my brother's senior brother, and he belongs to us, so there will be no problem."

Zheng Jin seemed to have heard Daiyu's voice from outside the car, and said, "Don't worry girls, we are going to Fahua Temple right now, and the three girls from Jia's mansion are driving behind." Daiyu saw When Zheng Jin spoke, he also replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng." Then Zheng Jin laughed: "Miss Lin, you don't have to be polite, I'm just entrusted by others, and it's all about being loyal. But..." Zheng Jin seemed a little After hesitating, he paused for a while before saying again: "You girls should be more careful about the kid from the Sun family."

Daiyu's expression moved, but Baochai frowned even more, and was about to speak.She was interrupted by Daiyu's fierce grabbing of her wrist, and Daiyu said in a low voice: "We know, the three sisters in Jia's mansion still ask their master to take care of them."

Zheng Jin said: "After a while on the mountain, the father-in-law and maids from the inner court came to pick them up. The girls just follow their instructions and go to their seats. The place where the girls are has been decorated in black, so it is easy to find."

Hearing this, Baochai finally asked: "Didn't the master say that he would take us to visit the empress first?" Zheng Jin smiled softly: "Is the empress accompanying several concubines to summon the wives of various houses? Might not see the girls."

Now even Xiang Yun, who had been in a daze and didn't know what was going on, could see that this master Zheng was going after Sun Xuebin.Presumably Lin Haorui entrusted him to take care of Sister Lin, and he and the girls were just doing it smoothly.

While speaking, the carriage stopped again.I only heard a shrill and hoarse voice asking: "Who is the one who went up the mountain? Do you have a token!" Only Zheng Jin said: "The two father-in-laws, Da'an, and the next one is Zheng Jin, the disciple of the third prince. The girls from the mansion go up the mountain!"

The little father-in-law who had spoken earlier immediately changed his face, and smiled obsequiously: "It turns out that the girl from Jia's mansion has arrived. The third prince has already sent someone to wait inside." As he spoke, he seemed to be talking to a little eunuch. Said: "Go and invite. Mr. Zheng, please wait here." Zheng Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will save you. When the girls enter the North Road, I will return immediately."

The father-in-law smiled and said: "Master Zheng is indeed a perceptive person. Men are not allowed to enter the road to the north. The Queen Mother said that when she found one, she immediately broke her legs. No matter if it is a prince or grandson, or a dignitary, everyone will be treated equally. "

Zheng Jin laughed loudly: "The empress is wise. This is really a good idea." The little father-in-law sighed: "There is no way to do it, otherwise the girls and ladies all over the capital will bring a bunch of maids and wives. How do you compete in martial arts on the school field?"

Zheng Jin laughed.Daiyu and the three of them listened carefully in the car.At the same time, I think that this arrangement is appropriate, but I don't know if there are any omissions.Not long after, I heard an elderly woman say: "Ruyue and Ruyu are going to drive, so let's invite the girls from Jia's mansion to go up!"

Zheng Jin said from the side: "I'm sorry, ma'am!" The mama smiled and said, "I have no reason to shirk what His Highness the Third Prince explained. Master Zheng, please go ahead at ease!" After a while.The carriage started to move again.

Baochai glanced at Daiyu, with an indistinguishable expression on her face, and said leisurely: "The relationship between His Highness the Third Prince and Cousin Lin is really good, for his sake, he has taken care of us so far! Someone was sent to pick us up!"

Daiyu didn't think about the deep meaning in Baochai's words, and said softly: "Sister Bao only needs to control her legs. This time of prosperity is not as good as being outside, and sister Bao needs to be cautious and polite!" Baochai When Daiyu said this, her face turned red.But he just smiled lightly.Brick looked out the window.

Meanwhile, their car was heading towards the mountain gate, and the road was blocked by large curtains on both sides, presumably it was specially opened for these girls.It's just that there are not many cars on the road, only two or three cars.

Not long after, their car drove past the mountain gate, but did not go to Fahua Temple.Instead, he went halfway up the mountain.Baochai couldn't help being puzzled. At this time, the woman who was talking outside said, "Miss Lin. This old servant is the nurse of the Third Prince, and was ordered by the Third Prince and Champion Hou to come to welcome the girl."

Daiyu knew that the arrangements along the way were all made by Qi Tianyou, but she didn't expect that he even sent her own nanny, so she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what to call nanny?"

The nanny smiled and said: "This old slave's surname is Xia, it's good for the girl to call this old slave Nanny Xia just like the third prince!" Then Daiyu said: "Daiyu thanked Mother Xia!" Mother Xia hurriedly said outside "This old slave can't be thanked by a girl. It's true that our third prince is always thanks to the Lin family for taking care of us." Nanny Xia was stunned for a moment and continued: "Girl, the venue for this competition is built behind the Fahua Temple. In a valley in the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is very comfortable in winter and cool in summer. Now let's go there!"

Daiyu hummed, and Baochai smiled and said, "No wonder I just saw that this road didn't lead to Fahua Temple. It was strange." Said: "The girl is careful, and the old slave admires it." Baochai smiled and was about to speak again, but found that Xiangyun and Daiyu were looking at her strangely, so she stopped talking embarrassingly.

Not long after, the carriage stopped again, Madam Xia said: "Girls, please get out of the carriage." As she spoke, she opened the carriage curtain herself, and the three of them only saw a woman in her forties, who was very tall. Kind eyebrows and kindness make people feel close to each other.

Mother Xia smiled at Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin, be careful, it's windy at the mouth of the mountain pass, so be careful!" Daiyu nodded, thanked her with a smile, and then helped Daiyu's men get off the car.As soon as Daiyu stood still, she heard several girls salute at the same time: "I met Miss Lin!"

Daiyu waved her hand lightly, motioning for everyone to get up.At this time, Baochai got out of the carriage with the support of a little girl, and she couldn't help being a little displeased to see that the girls only maintained the most basic etiquette to her.

Xiangyun didn't care about this, and took Daiyu's hand: "I'm going to sit with Sister Lin later, so as not to get bored." Madam Xia said: "I'm afraid it's up to the girls to decide, the imperial concubine is already arranged!"

Daiyu asked suspiciously: "Is a seat still so important?" Mother Xia smiled and said: "No one knows what the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are planning this time to separate you beautiful girls from your family. , if there is any accident, what can be done. No, the seats are arranged strictly according to the family background, and they are determined not to be messed up."

When Baochai heard this, her face darkened even more, but she soon returned to her usual dignified and elegant appearance.Several people were talking, when a crisp voice came: "Nurse Xia, Daan, I'm here to pick up some girls."

Daiyu's eyes suddenly brightened, she knew that the person in front of her was Qi Tianyou's eldest girl, Ruyan, who traveled thousands of miles back to Yangzhou that day, Ruyan even pretended to be her and lured away many pursuers for her.

Ruyan bowed to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for many years, you are really looking more and more beautiful!" Daiyu smiled and helped Ruyan up: "Sister Ruyan praised you."

Ruyan pointed to a maid behind her and said, "Sister An, who is next to the virtuous concubine, is here to pick up some girls from the Jia family." The maid An saluted Ruyan, and said softly, "Second girl, please, The third girl, the fourth girl, Bao girl and Yun girl came with the servants, the awning of Ningrong Second Mansion has been tidied up, you can sit in the table!"

At this time, the three Yingchun sisters also got out of the car and were talking with Baochai.Hearing what the palace lady An said, Tanchun said: "I'm sorry, sister. I don't know if my sister is in my elder sister's palace?" Then the palace lady said: "The servant is not Fengzao Palace, but the concubine Xiande specially confessed the servant to take good care of her." Just a few girls."

Then Tanchun said: "That's the way to thank you, sister." Then everyone walked along the path in front of the valley, but when they walked for half a stick of incense, their eyes suddenly opened up.Everyone saw an extremely wide place in front of them. There were four stands in the four directions of the southeast, the northwest, and they were decorated with four colors of blue, vermilion, white, and black. The large empty field in the center was obviously the competition venue. The contest venue is bright yellow.

Baochai said with a smile: "This arena is arranged according to the five elements, green wood in the east, red red in the south, white gold in the west, black water in the north, and yellow in the center. In addition to the positions of the five elements, it also follows the theory of yin and yang. Yin is Yin; fire is Yang and water is Yin, so our position is in the black position in the north."

Lady An glanced at Baochai: "This is Miss Baochai, she is really knowledgeable, and it is not in vain that the virtuous concubine praised her very much." Mammy Xia also glanced at Baochai, but did not speak.Ruyan supported Daiyu's hand, and softly introduced the situation in the arena: "Look, girl, the pergola of the champion Hou Lin's house is the first in the second row. The four pergola in front are the princes One of the family, one of several county kings, one of Sun Taishi's family, and one of Yang Dadu's mansion."

Daiyu was a little surprised, and said softly: "Can our family be so close?" Ruyan smiled and said: "The Champion Hou also raised his meaning that day, but the Empress insisted on arranging it, saying that Miss Lin is her adopted daughter. , no matter what, I can't be wronged!"

Only then did Daiyu suddenly realize that she followed Ruyan to her shed.And after the girls of Jia's mansion resigned from her, they moved back a bit and found the awning of Ningrong Second Mansion in the middle.

Daiyu walked into her shed, and saw that the shed was not big, with a chair and a low table, on which were placed several kinds of seasonal fruits and a pot of tea.Daiyu sat down, and saw that everyone had already arrived at this time, and Qi Ziyou was smiling at her in the prince's shed directly in front of her.Daiyu hurriedly returned the gift, only to realize that it was these monarchs several times, and at this time there was not a girl by her side, thinking that this time the noble concubine really treated them equally.
