But it was said that the Prince of Jinling and He Yuting and his wife had an appointment to go out for an outing, and met Huanyu, Lingyun and others. When Princess Huanyu saw them, she immediately smiled like a flower, ran forward in a few steps, and shouted affectionately: "Dad! - —Aunt, uncle, are you here too?"
At this time, Ling Yun, Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue also hurriedly came forward to pay tribute.
Prince Jinling, Princess Changqing and He Yuting dismounted.
Prince Jinling's face was full of love, he pointed at Huanyu's nose and said angrily: "You silly girl, you are already out of the government and you are still so playful. Even if you are in public, you are not afraid of other people's jokes!"
Huanyu coquettishly buried her head in her father's arms, and the father and daughter whispered affectionately.
Princess Changqing felt particularly friendly when she saw Ling Yun. She took his hand and said, "Zhichao, it's been almost a year since we last said goodbye. My aunt misses you so much! How about it, do you miss your aunt too? ?”
Ling Yun smiled slightly at Princess Chang Qing, with a twinkling light in her eyes, "Of course I do, just like my aunt misses Zhichao."
Princess Chang Qing smiled kindly and said: "You are so talkative! But my aunt just likes you very much. From the first time I saw you, my aunt has a very strange feeling in her heart. She can't forget you all day long. , I often see you in my dreams, but I don’t know why?”
Ling Yun said affectionately: "Maybe Ling Yun and my aunt were destined in the previous life!"
Princess Chang Qing's eyes flashed with ripples of light, and she said excitedly: "Yes, I feel the same way..."
The two people chatted affectionately; it felt like old friends who had not seen each other for many years suddenly reunited unexpectedly, and there were endless words and endless emotions between them.
He Yuting walked up to Prince Jinling and said, "My lord, you see, Chang Qing has fallen in love with your son-in-law. This is a rare honor. Chang Qing used to be very picky about people!"
Prince Jinling couldn't help but smile and feel very pleased after hearing this; Princess Huanyu was even more cheerful and proud.
Lu Qiuyuelan on the side is very kind-hearted and intelligent; she is also good at observing people's words and acting according to the opportunity. At this time, she dragged Princess Huanyu to Ling Yun and said loudly: "Of course, look at this couple. The man is handsome and unrestrained, with jade trees facing the wind; the woman is beautiful and fragrant, with unparalleled elegance. They are truly a perfect match. They were born together. A pair!"
Ling Yun was quite dissatisfied with Lu Qiuyue's boastful remarks. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile escaped from his thin lips; Princess Huanyu's eyebrows were elated, and her face was flushed with excitement - listening to the praises of others, her A heart is going to be drunk.
He Yuting, Princess Chang Qing, Jiang Chun and others also echoed after hearing this.
He Yuting said: "The prince is able to find such a son-in-law who rides on a dragon. It is a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations!"
Prince Jinling was happy in his heart, but he said: "Where is it!"
Everyone talked and laughed for a while. At this time, Zhao Yang, a close family member of Prince Jinling, came to the prince and said that there was something urgent in the palace that he needed to deal with when he returned. Zhao Fu then said goodbye to everyone and hurriedly followed Zhao Yang.
Lu Qiuyue and Jiang Chun also said they wanted to go back home. If they went back late, Master Lu would probably blame them. In fact, how could everyone not understand what they were thinking? So they smiled tacitly to each other and let them go.
There are only four people left here: Princess Chang Qing, He Yuting, Ling Yun and Huan Yu.
Princess Chang Qing said: "As the saying goes, those who have been practicing for ten years can cross the same boat, and those who have been practicing for a hundred years can sleep together on the same pillow. It is a kind of fate that the four of us can get together today!"
Huan Yu nodded in agreement; then he turned his eyes and looked at the large group of people following him. He frowned and said, "It's just that these family members are too annoying to follow, so why not let them go back first! "
So they sent their respective entourages back to their homes, although they were reluctant to go.
As soon as the servants left, everyone felt much more relaxed. I walked forward at a leisurely pace, admiring the natural scenery of the mountains and countryside, while talking about the local customs and customs. I felt relaxed and happy, and I never wanted to leave.
They were too tired from the intrigues and paperwork in the officialdom in the past. They wanted to change their state of mind and appreciate how comfortable and free nature can be.
Unknowingly, everyone arrived at a villa. There was a stream outside the village, and green bamboos were planted along the bank. After crossing the bamboo bridge, I saw that every house has a courtyard fence, chickens and dogs hear each other, and the villagers are enjoying themselves with their white hair hanging down.
At this time, it was dusk, and a ray of sunset was in sight. The villagers had returned from hoeing, and were making fire to cook.
Looking at the smoke everywhere, everyone felt hungry and it was time to have dinner. It's getting dark now, and it's probably too late to go back to the capital. Everyone is sleepy and tired, so what should we do, just take things as they come.
The four of them discussed and walked into the fenced courtyard of a farmhouse and tied their horses to the tree outside the door.
The hosts are warm and hospitable. The owner of this house is a farm man in his thirties, dressed in green clothes, with a majestic figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a short mustache under his chin. He is rough-looking, honest and simple, especially his eyes, which are deep and subtle, and full of energy. . Ling Yun could tell at a glance that this person was definitely incomparable to others.
He has a noble father above him and a naughty boy below him. Seeing several well-dressed nobles coming here, he was not very restrained or frightened. He glanced at everyone with his bright eyes and said with a hearty smile: "I wonder where your distinguished guests are from? The arrival of distinguished guests is enough to make a humble house feel better." Shenghui, how lucky I am!"
Ling Yun stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you. I wonder where this place is?"
The farmer said: "Oh, the name of the village is Cuizhu Villa."
Cuizhu Villa? Thinking of the green bamboos planted along the creek when they entered the villa, everyone felt that this name was appropriate.
Ling Yun said: "We are from the capital, and we are passing by Guizhuang. It is already getting late. We want to hit the tip at your place and have a short rest. What do you think, brother?"
The farmer man said enthusiastically: "Brother, why are you so polite? Just come in!" After saying that, he let everyone into the house and asked my wife to kill chickens and ducks and prepare meals to entertain the distinguished guests.
Princess Changqing and Princess Huanyu were sitting on the earthen bed of this house, which immediately brightened up the dim and simple thatched cottage.
The father of the farm man is an old man in his sixties, with fair hair and a boyish face. He is energetic, has a red face, has a fairy-like air, and is free and elegant. One look at him and he knows that this man is definitely an extraordinary person, and must be a hidden figure in the world. Wai Gaoshi.
He smiled slightly at Princess Changqing and Princess Huanyu and said, "These two beautiful ladies must be the treasured relatives of the high officials in the capital, right?"
Huanyu's crystal eyes turned, and she smiled and said: "Family of a high official?...Old man, can you be more specific, what are our identities?"
The old man twirled his beard with his hand, smiled slightly and said: "If what I said is right, you must be prominent in the capital, and you are among the best among the people, and you are among them the royal family, nobles, phoenixes, dragons and grandsons."
Huanyu looked at Princess Changqing and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow!...Old man, you really know things like a god!"
Ling Yun had been silent just now, but now Fang took over the conversation with a smile: "Of course, if you can't even see this, how can you be said to be a master of magic?"
Huanyu's eyes flashed with surprise and joy, "What, it turns out that you, the old man, are the famous Mr. Ge, an iron-fingered fortune teller? Oh, how disrespectful and disrespectful!"
It turns out that this old man is none other than Ge Zhong, the iron-fingered fortune teller who once met Ling Yun once in the capital and gave him advice on the affairs of the celestial owl Qilin.
The old man smiled at Huan Yu and nodded, then turned to Ling Yun and smiled faintly: "There is no place in the world where we don't meet you - Commander Ling, we meet again!"
Ling Yun's expression was clear and solemn. He stood up respectfully, saluted Ge Zhongshen and said: "Senior, you are well, Ling Yun is polite!"
Ge Zhong said calmly: "You're welcome, Commander Ling. Let me introduce you first," pointing at the farm man, "this is the dog Ge Beiqiu; these are the old man's two grandsons, the children playing in front of the hall."
Just as he was talking, the two children came bounding over. The older one was twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger one was eight or nine years old.
The big boy suddenly flashed his big watery eyes and said, "Hey, uncle, your sword is so beautiful. Lend it to me!"
Ling Yun smiled, "Why, kid, do you also like to practice martial arts?"
The child raised his head and said, "Of course!"
Ling Yun took his hand affectionately and said, "Then tell uncle, what is your name?"
The child said: "My name is Ge Long, and this is my younger brother Ge Hu."
"Ge Long? Ge Hu?..." Ling Yun said, "What a loud and impressive name."
Ge Long continued to pester him, "Uncle, I have heard from my father a long time ago that your fish-green sword is a rare treasure, cutting iron like clay, so please let me broaden my horizons!"
Mentioning the fish-blue sword, Ling Yun couldn't help but think of Lian Nanchun again, his heart twitched unconsciously, and he hung his head somewhat sadly.
He hasn't seen her for a long time, and he doesn't know how she is doing now. He really misses her...
Ge Zhong saw Ling Yun's eyebrows furrowed and his head lowered in deep thought, as if he had something to hide. He quickly stopped the entanglement and nonsense between brothers Ge Long and Ge Hu and turned to other things.
After everyone had dinner here and took a short rest, they said goodbye to Ge Zhong's family.
It turned out that while having dinner just now, Ling Yun and Huan Yu were planning their whereabouts tonight.
Huanyu's smart eyes flashed and she said: "It's getting late today and it's impossible to go back to the capital. Why not go to Qinfang Villa, which is ten miles away, and stay for one night."
Ling Yun had been to Qinfang Villa before and knew that this was an outhouse of the Jinling Palace outside the city. After listening to Huan Yu's suggestion, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded in agreement; then the two of them met again After asking He Yuting and Princess Chang Qing for their opinions, they both nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Ling Yun and others were about to leave, it was indeed getting late, and Ge Zhong and others no longer wanted to stay, so the family sent Ling Yun and others out.
Before leaving, Ling Yun casually took off a crystal clear and exquisite jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Ge Long with a smile and said: "My child, this jade pendant is for you!"
