Jiazhu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 37 Chapter 19

It turns out that the south of the Five Ridges is mostly mountain roads, which are not conducive to horses running. Therefore, unlike the Central Plains, there are horse markets in every city, big or small. Although Kunming City is the capital of the King of Lingnan, except for the tourists from the city, no one uses horses. There are not many uses for horses here, and occasionally a rich family needs a few horses, and they will buy them from other places, so no one sells them locally.

Only then did Jia Zhu feel hopeless and froze on the street, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of a horse not far away. Jia Zhu's horse heard the same sound, raised its hoof and hissed loudly. Cai Song was inattentive, and the horse took off the rein and ran away go out.

The four hurriedly followed, without money or food, if even the horses ran away, they would not be able to return to Sichuan with only two legs.

Fortunately, the streets were narrow and crowded, and the horses couldn't run happily. Jia Zhu and others ran out of the street behind, turned a corner, and saw the white horse snuggling up obediently next to a black horse.

Suddenly someone shouted happily: "Cai Song, it's you!"

Jia Zhu and the others followed the sound, and a young servant walked out from the side of the black horse. It was Miao Yun whom he had seen in the capital. Jumping again, and making a fuss for a while, Miao Yun was still reluctant to loosen the pine, took his arm, and saluted Jia Zhu and Shui Rong.

Jia Zhu was both happy and worried at the moment, the happy thing was meeting someone he knew, and he could ask for some money to go back, but the worrying thing was that Miao Yun was here, so Wu Zhaoqi must be there too, he and Shui Rong had special identities, I don't know if meeting would cause trouble. somethin'.

How did Miao Yun think so much, he blew a loud whistle, and in an instant, several guards appeared from nowhere, Miao Yun whispered a few words, and the guards disappeared in a blink of an eye.The other horses and donkeys of Jia Zhu and others followed Jia Zhu and surrounded him and the water-soluble energy in a semicircle.

Shui Rong's complexion changed, and he winked at Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu understood, and said with a smile: "I don't want to meet you here, I should have let Cai Song spend more time with you."

It's just a matter of time, but we still have important things to do, so we need to go back quickly. "

Cai Song was very clever, quickly shook Miao Yun's hand, walked behind Jia Zhu, and said: "Exactly, what my young master said is true."

Miao Yun said respectfully: "I don't dare to force you to keep me, but I was taken care of by you many times when I was in the capital. Now that I am here, I need to show some kindness as a landlord."

Jia Zhu evaded, "It's not necessary, let's take our leave first."

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhu turned around and was about to lead the horse, when someone suddenly took the rein from the guard and said, "I'll see you off."

I haven't seen him for two years, and Wu Zhaoqi has grown into an adult, a full head taller than Jia Zhu, with broad shoulders and a strong physique. His only pair of eyes are still as dark as before, which makes people dare not look more.As soon as Wu Zhaoqi showed up, Miao Yun and the guards knelt down with their heads down, calling them "Prince".

Jia Zhu was still in a daze, Shui Rong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Long time no see Brother Wu, I don't know when Brother Wu will leave the capital, but he never bid farewell to my classmates."

Wu Zhaoqi nodded slightly, as a response to Shui Rong, and continued to stare at Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu intends to beg for some money, but she doesn't know how to speak to Wu Zhaoqi, and wants to miss this opportunity, so she can only beg for food and go back.

Cai Song didn't care about this, and interjected: "Small talk, the salute of our young master and the prince was stolen at the inn, and he has nothing on him. If the prince can borrow some money, Cai Song will definitely return it when we go back." return."

After finishing speaking, he secretly looked at the expressions of Jia Zhu and Shui Rong, and was relieved to see that the two were only embarrassed and not angry.

Wu Zhaoqi frowned, looked at Jia Zhu with complicated eyes and said, "Why didn't you come to me when something happened?"

Shui Rong smiled and said, "I just don't want to bother Lord Lingnan."

Wu Zhaoqi said: "It is my responsibility that this happened within my range of Lingnan, you wait and follow me back to the palace first, I will send someone to find your things, and then send you back."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Thank you so much, my lord." After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and pulled Jia Zhu, accompanied by Wu Zhaoqi, and went down to Lingnan Palace.

The Lingnan Palace is not far from this street, and it takes less than a cup of tea to arrive. Although the Lingnan King lives in a remote corner, it has a foundation of 300 years, which is even longer than the current dynasty. Although a mighty and majestic palace is no more , can be more simple and Lingnan characteristics.

Wu Zhaoqi inquired about the whole story in detail, and Jia Zhu no longer concealed the matter, and told them from entering Kunming City until Baima led them over.Wu Zhaoqi went to arrange for people to go to the inn and yamen, and ordered his servants to buy food and drinks without mentioning it.

After an hour's work, Jia Zhu and Shui Rong saluted and were sent back to the palace. Jia Zhu didn't care about his belongings and only asked Shui Rong what was missing. Shui Rong shook his head and took out a big red bag from the package. Su embroidered the purse, handed it to Jia Zhu and said, "Look, this thing has been stolen, and I don't know what to use it for."

Jia Zhu looked at the purse, and there was nothing special about it. There are many princes in the capital who gave it to Shui Rong. He just wondered who gave it to Shui Rong. Although the thing is not worth much, it has deep affection, so he handed it to Shui Rong jokingly: "I'm afraid I lost it." After buying this thing, you can’t explain it when you return to Beijing.”

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Everyone can throw it away, let alone something, just keep it in your mind." After speaking, she turned her head and gave Wu Zhaoqi a deep bow and said, "Thank you, my lord."

After the things were recovered, Wu Zhaoqi prepared meals, and Jia Zhu left immediately after waiting. The three of them sat around a big table and ate a meal in silence.

After the meal, Wu Zhaoqi suggested: "I heard from Cai Song that you are here for fun, and you left in a hurry only because you lost your things and lost interest. Now that you have found your things, why don't you stay for a few more days, and I will take you with you?" Take a look around, okay?"

Jia Zhu asked for Shui Rong's idea, Shui Rong smiled and said, "This will bother the lord."

The afternoon was short, and a few people only wandered around in Kunming City. At night, they lived in Lingnan Wangfu, which was much more comfortable than an inn. After Jia Zhu was washed and combed by Cai Song, she was lying comfortably on the bed and reading a book. Wu Zhaoqi knocked on the door and came in. , sat opposite him.

As the saying goes, looking at a beautiful woman under the lamp, this man is the same. When he looks at Wu Zhaoqi during the day, he only pays attention to the coldness of his face and the temperament that strangers should not approach, but under the dim light, even a person like him is more attractive be gentle.

He said slowly: "Since I bid farewell to you in the capital that day, I took Miao Yun back to Lingnan. I only thought that I would never see each other again in this life. I didn't expect you to come to Kunming. I can't believe that you can live in my mansion for a day in your lifetime."

Seeing the emotion he said, Jia Zhu couldn't hear the meaning behind the words, but since he already had Zhong Congyu in his heart, and he was going to get married after the new year, there was no extra affection for Wu Zhaoqi, because he lowered his head and said: "You I don't have a deep friendship, it's more than what I said."
