Chapter 53 Cao Taisui Accompanying Jinmingchi
Jinmingchi is located ten miles outside Bianjing City. It was noon when Cao Hua arrived. There were many tourists and could not clear the venue, and it was not easy to disturb the people too much. He could only let the Black Yuwei Guard be on standby at any time on the periphery. He accompanied Princess Yong'an into Jinmingchi.
Princess Yong'an brought two guards from the royal palace and ignored him at all. After getting off the car, she walked far ahead without any intention of staying and waiting.
This was exactly like Cao Hua's intention. He took a veil and put it on for Xie Yijun, and then mixed into the crowd to enjoy the scenery around Jinmingchi, as long as Princess Yong'an did not disappear from sight.
Xie Yijun walked without any obstacles, standing on the stone bridge by the lake, watching the scenery, with long red dress and long hair reaching her waist, looking graceful. Cao Hua was wearing a scholar's robe and holding a folding fan, standing beside him, wishing to look like a pair of beautiful people meeting the broken bridge.
Cao Hua looked at it for a moment, and said softly with interest:
"The white mist is filled with the white waves, and the boat is like bamboo leaves and floating and sinking. How dare I dare to rise from the head of the tree? The mountains and rivers are sealed in this heart. It's so wet and wet..."
"Can't understand."
Xie Yijun frowned slightly and thought about this for a long time.
Cao Huawen and Zou Zou's expression froze, and he immediately laughed and said, "The water is really green, the naive blue, and there are so many people."
This sentence naturally understands the meaning.
Xie Yijun nodded slightly and said no.
There are many tourists around Jinmingchi. On the side of the road leading to the official family's painting boat, a tall man wearing a disguised scholar's robe held a folding fan, carrying a dozen servants who were domineering and constantly teasing the lady who was coming and going. Her humble smile made many women dare not speak out.
When Xie Yijun saw this person, her face turned slightly cold, and she raised her hand and pointed: "Cao Hua, go and beat this guy."
Of course, the one on the road was Yuchi. Last time she disguised herself as she wandered around the city, but she was attracted by Yuchi Hu because a part of her body was too prominent. After the language conflict, she almost started fighting. Fortunately, someone came to rescue her and was able to escape.
Cao Hua looked at him in a blink of an eye and his face suddenly became cold.
Just as he was wondering how to get this fool out, Master Yuchi was sharp-eyed and ran over excitedly when he saw him from a distance:
"Master, you are here too!"
Carrying a undressed scholar's robe, Yuchi Hu ran to the stone bridge and saw a graceful woman standing next to her, her breasts bigger than his head, and her eyes lit up: "This is not..."
Halfway through, Yuchi Hu suddenly woke up and said in surprise: "Mr. Cao is really good at hand and eyes. No wonder I searched on the street for a few days but couldn't find it. It turned out that Mr. Cao put this little lady in the room..."
Cao Hua's sword came out three inches, his eyes as cold as frost.
Yuchi Hu quickly shut up, his thief eyes quickly turned away and said embarrassedly: "The water is really green, the naive blue, and there are so many people."
"Get out!"
"Okay!"
Master Yuchi hurriedly ran away again. Seeing the talented men in the pleasure boat, he ran over and got close to him.
The conversation just now fell into Xie Yijun's ears, and his face was naturally not very good-looking. He said with a little contempt: "Birds of a feather flock together, and you were afraid that you did a lot of dirty things before."
"Miss Xie, don't be prejudiced against me, I'm a good person."
Cao Hua spread his hands out and felt helpless. Seeing Princess Yong'an boarding the pleasure boat, he took Xie Yijun to follow him slowly.
----
Of this scale, there are naturally the support of talented men and beautiful women. There are many wealthy families in the city who come to enjoy the scenery. The restaurants and boats are crowded with people, and there are also groups of tourists between the willow river embankments.
Under a willow tree, the petite Chen Yu took two servants to stroll around, next to Su Xiangning in a green plain skirt and her maid Qingguo.
Chen Yu is devoted to doing business and is naturally careless. After realizing the worldly ways, Su Xiangning is a taciturn and calm person. Generally, she doesn't tell outsiders about some grievances.
These days, Su Xiangning moved out of Baibaozhai, and Chen Yu realized that she often forced her to go out to play music, so she thought about making up for it and going out for fun.
However, Su Xiangning's mind has been full of things about the bean shop recently, and the "distributor" also came out with Chen Yu and didn't have the intention to enjoy the scenery. She kept talking with Qingguo how to make the business prosperous. The maid Qingguo has never done heavy work since she was a child. She has been unable to bear the grinding and moving things these days. She nodded and shook her head listlessly, but she had no idea.
Chen Yu pleased him for a long time and said a little aggrievedly: "Miss Xiao Su, the business cannot be completed in two days. You should also take a break when it's time to rest."
"I know."
Su Xiangning held an oil-paper umbrella to protect the sun. Although she got up early and went to bed late for a few days, she didn't show much discomfort.
Chen Yu hugged the back of his head and walked backwards on the grass: "There is the one with the surname Su, don't believe him. He doesn't like you at all, he just greedy for your body."
"Yu'er!" Su Xiangning's face turned red and she looked around and said, "How can you say this in public? Besides, Mr. Su is not that kind of person."
When she looked around, she found a familiar figure by the lake in the distance. She looked up and saw that the man had already entered the pleasure boat.
Su Shi?
Su Xiangning's eyes were delighted, and she thought for a moment, then handed the umbrella to Chen Yu, and walked towards the pleasure boat with her skirt.
"I'll go over there and take a look."
"oh."
Chen Yu was carrying an oil-paper umbrella and turning the handle of the umbrella boringly, but he was a little worried about this increasingly independent sister.
--------
A cultural conference was being held on the three-story boat on the lakeside.
Fan Chenglin and other famous talents are gathered in the building and boat hall to talk to friends from all over the world about some recent trivial matters.
Several tables were placed, and scholars and ladies were painting on the deck.
Zhao Tianluo came to the boat, which attracted many literati to come forward to show their attention. Many of the generals and the legitimate sons of the gentry who learned the news were also waiting here. Of course, most of them were unmarried men.
This time, Princess Yong'an entered Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the empress dowager. There is also a rumor that Princess Yong'an is at the age of waiting to marry, and all the literati and talented men in Jiangnan were turned away and did not like anyone else.
King Kang had no choice but to send this precious daughter to the capital, and asked the empress dowager of the dynasty to find a suitable candidate.
The prince-consort is not considered to be of high status and power, and may have to be a little cowardly, but this is enough to attract many poor scholars. The high-ranking clans also mean to put gilds on their faces, so they sent young heroes from various families to try it.
The hall was bustling with people, and several great scholars sat in the first place to review the poems. When they saw Zhao Tianluo coming, they all stood up to greet him.
Zhao Tianluo nodded and sat down in the main seat, looking at the masterpieces of the talents with great interest.
She is not very interested in poetry, but she likes such occasions where everyone is full of energy and talent. Occasionally, she will talk about it and praise it and encourage it.
But the masterpieces are not common. Zhao Tianluo looked at them for a while and felt that they were not very interesting. After thinking about it, she took a wooden box from the guard and handed it to Su Mu next to her.
The Minister Su Mu often hosts these small poetry and literary parties. After taking the wooden box, he opened it, but saw a poem engraved on the gorgeous jade hairpin inside:
Don’t laugh at the farmers’ wax wine, and keep guests in good times for a good harvest.
There is no way out when the mountains are heavy, and there is another village when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.
The flute and drum follow the Spring Club, and the clothes are simple and ancient.
From now on, if you are willing to ride the moon, you will always knock on the door with your cane.
Fifty-six characters are as small as rice grains, and are neatly engraved on the slender jade hairpin, making them natural and not crowded at all.
Su Mu tasted it for a long time and chuckled, "Princess, this young master Su is really a talented person. Unfortunately, he has never been willing to show up. Otherwise, the title of the number one talented man in Kyoto is well deserved."
Zhao Tianluo has also been curious about the identity of the shopkeeper of Wanbaolou in recent days, but unfortunately he has not found it. She looked harmonious when she heard this: "I have never met a man who can let him come out of the mountain. I have inquired about it. This person has returned to Jiangnan. When he comes to Beijing next time, you will see it."
Speaking of this, she remembered something and her tone was a little dissatisfied: "Talent is well deserved, but this little shopkeeper is too greedy for worldly money and the price of hairpins is too high."
Last time the Wanbaolou guy sent the hairpin to the palace, she realized that a jade hairpin, a thousand taels of silver was a piece of silver. She felt distressed for a long time, let alone an ordinary woman. Scholars should regard money as dirt, and she met such a greedy talent.
"If you calculate this way, it is actually reasonable!"
Su Mu has a high attainment in poetry, perhaps because of his mutual appreciation, and even said a few good words to Mr. Su of Wanbaolou.
After receiving the whole poem, Su Mu was a little impatient at this time. After watching carefully for a long time, he got up and called the people in the hall to watch.
Soon after, the hall began to whisper and talk about the talented man who only heard the sound but did not see him.
Praise and admiration are endless.
Slowly, the topic reached the top of the grass again.
In the hall, almost everyone wore a 'grass tip', and Wanbaolou also designed a thoughtful design for men's and women's children's style to ensure that everyone who hates Cao Thief can buy one.
Zhao Tianluo came over and did not inform Cao Hua in advance. Seeing that these scholars started to commit suicide again, he wanted to get up to stop him, but heard two light coughs sounding from outside the building.
Everyone looked at it in a blink of an eye and saw a scholar in white robe with a familiar long sword hanging on his waist, and slowly walked to the main seat to sit down.
Kyoto Tai Sui, Cao Hua!
"hiss-"
Everyone gasped.
The chaotic hall was silent immediately. The talented and beautiful woman who was just joking just now secretly pulled out the "grass tip" hairpin on her head, for fear of attracting Cao Thief's attention.
Cao Hua sat next to Zhao Tianluo and saw a few talented women secretly hiding the "grass tip" look, and he felt it was funny.
In order to make the "grass tip" in the shop more popular, he tried his best to make his expression serious and said coldly:
"Why don't you stop talking? Do you think Cao came at the wrong time?"
When the Master Yuchi saw Cao Hua, he immediately became energetic. He looked around in the crowd, showing his arrogance: "Is it true that Cao Badou and Cao come here, don't you dare to show your ugly face?"
Everyone present said timidly, for fear that Governor Cao would throw his cup as a trump card, and three hundred swords and axes rushed into the tower.
Zhao Tianluo was immediately annoyed and turned to Cao Hua: "You go out! Don't come in if you have nothing to do. There is also Yuchi Hu, get out of here too!"
Cao Hua came in just a formality. Hearing that, he was just right, so he got up and walked out.
Yuchi Hu was so silly that he helped the scarf above his head, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
If you show your face casually, the whole world will be pure.
The talented and beautiful woman on the corridor deck ran cleanly and hid under Princess Yong'an's wings for shelter.
Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, Xie Yijun took off the curtain and breathable, and said sarcastically: "You are so powerful."
"Excessive award."
Cao Hua accompanied Xie Yijun to walk on the boat and enjoyed the surrounding scenery casually.
A few small bubbles suddenly rose on the calm lake.
The instinctive keenness of the body made Cao Hua notice this slightly abrupt detail, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing unusual and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind:
Chapter completed!
