Chapter 695: Traveling Together
Bi Yuntao smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Xue, you really think highly of me. Others don't know what my situation is in the capital, but don't you know it? My reputation is already so bad."
"Last time the emperor cleaned the court, many people were injured. Now those people are eyeing me and want to tear me to pieces. If it weren't for the emperor issuing a notice that King Qi is dead, just because I am here With all the noise the Xue family has made, I’m afraid the Xue family has already become restless.”
"Now that you ask me to come forward, it would be fine if the person sent is a minister who has some friendship with me. If not, those people know that I am still alive. Not to mention that I cannot protect myself, even the Xue family will be in a state of catastrophe."
"But you also know my situation. I am only friends with the Zuo Xiang family. I don't need to say more about the identity of the Zuo Xiang. The annual meeting of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces is so important, and the emperor cannot give up his position of high authority. The left minister should go there in person. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. I don’t even know who the current Minister of the Ministry of Finance is, so how can I dare to come forward?"
Xue Ruyue also knew that there was little hope. When she heard what he said, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Her eyes turned gloomy and she sighed lonely. Could it be that God really doesn’t bless my Xue family?
Seeing Xue Ruyue's frown and worry, Bi Yuntao said: "Sister Xue, everything has a solution. Don't think too much now. Have you forgotten what I said to you today? Learn to relax, Learn to vent.”
Xue Ruyue struggled to squeeze out a smile, "I listened to your words and went to swim in the West Lake. If I had followed my usual temper, I would never have found the time."
Bi Yuntao smiled and said nothing. He was still thinking about the Chamber of Commerce. Human greed is endless. If it is true as Xue Ruyue said, and everyone is staring at the Xue family now, then the situation will be a bit bad for the Xue family.
Back in the room, Bi Yuntao sat by the bed. After listening to Xue Ruyue's words, he couldn't sleep.
When the two will come, it is obvious that the person who comes is not good. Xue Ruyue alone may not be able to support him. When the time comes, he will definitely come forward.
But once he shows up, he will definitely attract the attention of the people sent by the emperor. If because of his own fault, all the young and old of the Xue family were plunged into a state of great calamity, and three pretty widows, mother and daughter were killed, I would never be able to forgive myself even if I was a ghost.
Why! The only thing she can do is rely on hope with the emperor, hoping that the person he sends is someone who is on good terms with her, otherwise, she will make herself jealous and lead the Xue family's daughters to become bandits and rebel against him.
Have a good night's sleep. When he woke up the next morning, he found that it was already late. Xue Ruyue actually let him sleep in for the first time, probably because of yesterday's conversation.
After washing up, she opened the door and went out, only to see Xue Ruyue had just gone out, with a little bloodshot eyes, obviously she had not slept well last night.
Bi Yuntao knew that she was worried about the Chamber of Commerce, and he sighed inwardly. There was nothing he could do in a hurry, so he said: "Sister Xue, good morning, did you sleep well yesterday?"
Xue Ruyue nodded and said: "This is the first time in these years that I got up so late. It's all your stupid idea that makes me lazy." Although she was reproaching, there was a smile on her face.
After breakfast, everyone went out, aiming directly at the West Lake. Bi Yuntao walked with Xue Ruyue in front, while Yuanfang Xuefeng Qiuying and three others were far behind.
After walking leisurely for a few steps, I saw the sparkling water above the West Lake, the blue waves like a mirror, the shadow of the bridge shining on the water, the chirping of birds, the peach and plum trees greeting each other, and the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains unfolding like a painting, with thousands of styles, any People understand. During this period, officials were shuttled back and forth, tourists were everywhere, and the scene was very lively.
Su Causeway starts from the foothills of Nanping Mountain in the south and ends at the foot of Qixia Ridge in the north. It is five or six miles long. There are countless willows and peach trees planted on both sides of the causeway. There are six single-hole stone arch bridges on the causeway connecting each other, which is the famous Su Causeway. Six bridges.
Bi Yuntao and Xue Ruyue were walking on the Sudi. The sun shone on the lake, creating a faint golden wave. The breeze blew, refreshing with a hint of coolness, and it was very comfortable.
Xue Ruyue had something on her mind and didn't seem to be very interested. After walking for a while, Bi Yuntao broke the silence between them and said: "Sister Xue, why is this place called Su Di?"
Xue Ruyue smiled and said: "Don't you know the origin of Su Di? I also said that you are the smartest person in the world?"
Seeing that her brows were relaxed and her smile was bright, Bi Yuntao smiled and replied: "I am smart in big things but confused in small things. How can I remember these things so clearly?"
Xue Ruyue glanced at him with a smile, "You are the most sophistical person," and explained at the same time: "This Su Causeway was constructed by dredging the West Lake and using the dredged silt when the previous poet Su Dongpo was the governor of Hangzhou. It was formed by the evolution of later generations. In order to commemorate his achievements in managing the West Lake, it was named "Su Causeway". The spring dawn on Su Causeway was listed as the first of the ten sceneries of the West Lake, also known as "Six Bridges of Smoked Willows", and was included in Qiantang The ten sceneries are one of the most famous scenery in Hangzhou."
Xue Ruyue walked a few steps, looked at the crystal clear lake water, and chanted slowly: "The flowers in the willows are hidden in the spring, and the mist on the heavy lake disperses the forest birds. Wherever the oriole breaks through the dim smoke, and sings the dawn of Su Di."
Bi Yuntao gave a thumbs up and said: "Sister Xue is really knowledgeable, insightful and literary."
Xue Ruyue smiled sweetly and said, "I don't believe you when you say something nice for no reason. This poem was written by someone else. I just recited it casually. But you don't learn poetry, so you don't know the meaning of this poem." Provenance.”
Bi Yuntao laughed and said: "Do you still need to learn poetry or recite poetry? I will do it as soon as I open my mouth. The flying rainbow hanging thousands of feet to the west of the lake is like Su Gong's old embankment. It is impossible to know that the vicissitudes of life are different from the present and the past, and the romantic poems of the past have been remembered. "
Xue Ruyue covered her lips and snickered: "Did you write this poem? I don't believe it anymore. You must have plagiarized it from someone else. You can't even write a few words, but you still come to recite poems and say Who will believe it?"
Bi Yuntao was sweating. Sister Xue really saw me clearly. He laughed and said: "Although I don't like reading and literacy, poetry reciting also requires talent. This is what I am learning. You are born with it, and others cannot learn it even if they want to.”
Xue Ruyue knew very well about him and knew that this man was bragging again, but it was this relaxed atmosphere that made her a little reluctant. She smiled and glared at him and said: "If I believe you, then the sun will hit you." The west side is coming out.”
After saying a few words, Xue Ruyue's mood gradually improved. It was all because of this enemy's troubles. Xue Ruyue was so embarrassed and happy that she spread her little feet and ran forward, as if she had returned to the age of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. .
Although it was early in the morning, the Su Causeway was already bustling with people. People going to the market, performers, and business people gathered early, making the Su Causeway very lively.
Xue Ruyue seemed to have regained her childlike appearance, and actually left Bi Yuntao behind and watched while walking. On the embankment, there are many entertainers, riding on ropes, flying money and throwing balls, kicking wood and throwing sand, swallowing knives and spitting fire, and jumping around and fighting. The people watching are frightened but they can't help but cheer loudly.
