The beginning of Xu has passed, and in the late winter, the sky and the earth are dim and everything is hazy, so it is called dusk.
The carriage approaching in the distance is made of rosewood. No matter whether it is reflected by the moonlight or illuminated by lights, the entire body of the carriage will emit a faint golden color, as if it has been smeared with a layer of golden sand.
Such a color naturally only belongs to the royal family, and no ordinary person would dare to overstep it.
Dalbergia is prolific in the Linyi Kingdom and is rare. It is used to make carriages. Such craftsmanship is not something ordinary people can do.
The identity is naturally revealed.
And according to Ye Sangeng's understanding, there is one in Guozhou hundreds of miles away, and there is also one in the capital city who is making such a big show of fear that others will not know his identity.
Not to mention the one outside the capital, let's say that the reason why this one in the capital is like this is partly due to her own family reasons: her mother's surname is Wang, the sister of the saint's mother, the eldest princess Lingjing.
It is conceivable that relatives and relatives of the royal family receive such honors and treatment.
Another part of the reason is that because it was midnight, everyone regarded this woman as a man.
The so-called treating women as big men, this understanding is naturally different from treating He Qingshan in the middle of the night.
For a young girl who begged for food with her mouth and could talk all over the world with her mouth, there was no way to describe her feelings appropriately in the night.
After all, they are still young. We have known each other since childhood, climbed trees together to dig out bird's nests, and went into the water to catch fish together. The relationship we have had for more than ten years is like family members, and we cannot simply judge them by male and female.
This woman, who was supposed to be the princess according to the rites of the eldest princess's family, was in such a dichotomy between the two extremes, so she couldn't help but behave in such a revealing way.
It's just because I want to be looked at, not taken seriously.
After all, his identity is such that it makes sense to be a little extreme.
In the distance, bells jingle as horses kick their necks, and the owner of the one-horse carriage moves leisurely from far to near. Ning said that except for the fact that he doesn't have a handle, he looks like a man no matter what.
He has big shoulders and a round waist, a broad body and a strong body. His appearance is also very rugged, and even his voice has a strong, manly feel.
So as I grew up, I subconsciously regarded Ning Wei as a brat, and he was still noisy with him at all. In the past, I was used to playing and making trouble, but then I slowly and deliberately distanced myself from him. After that, he would "play in the middle of the night" again. "When you use your hands and feet", you will inevitably be complained by this fierce woman.
However, Ning said that she had a strong family background, and every time she had a conflict with her in the middle of the night, her mother would come to her door to apologize.
Later, Ye San also complained more and more about this female hero, and the distance gradually grew apart. The next time they met was more than a year ago, when they had an enmity with Ning Wei due to the incident with the Western Region Caravan. They were still somewhat surprised to see each other this time.
The capital is lively, and the excitement is in the main road in the middle, the Imperial Road Suzaku Street, which is called the central axis of the imperial city, as well as the curved pond in the capital and Leyouyuan to the north.
The bustle in the capital is only in the streets and alleys. After all, the more prosperous and bustling capital is on the side. There are only ten days a year where you can ignore the curfew and play all night long, especially Xinghua Lane, which is home to many wealthy businessmen and gentry. These wealthy people who are too lazy to bend down to pick up a lost copper coin will stay in the capital all night these days. Therefore, seeing Ning Wei's carriage in this wide lane is a bit unexpected.
But the suddenness was more than that. It was just a moment of confusion. He was still wondering why Ning Wei appeared here. He heard the clatter of horse hooves. He turned around to look at the carriage at midnight, and saw another horse riding behind the carriage. .
On horseback, the man in green clothes was rustling in the wind. He looked really cool. He jumped over the carriage and galloped away with just a whip.
As early as he saw Ning Wei's carriage, he hid in the dark and took a closer look. It wasn't because he was far away that he couldn't see clearly. It was mainly because the horse under the green robe was an unusual Dawan war horse. The speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he stopped in front of a house. A servant led the horse and strode through the door dressed in green clothes.
No one can tell who it is, but this war horse is a good horse among the light cavalry of the Western Regions. It is very good at running long distances. It can only be used in the army. Or it must be a high-ranking general who is qualified to ride it out of the military camp. It can be used here. Seeing it, I guess it was a military attache from the Western Regions who returned to Beijing during the Chinese New Year to report on his duties.
In this small capital city, except for the garrison in the Wengcheng on the north side and the imperial guard area called Beiya, some generals would buy a property nearby because they thought it would take too much time to travel back and forth to the capital. The garrison officers, whether they were local military generals returning to the capital to report on their duties, or high-ranking officials in the court, all had their own houses in the capital, just to be closer to the imperial city, so that they could promptly inform God of God's will and quickly Delivery place.
After much deliberation, I still can't figure out why I saw the military attaché of the Western Regions here. The carriage that Ning said was wandering around actually came to Qing Yi's dismounting place. The driver stopped and the door curtain was raised. He was really big. The hunky Ning Wei got off the carriage.
From a distance, I saw a tall, round-waisted woman exchanging a few words with her coachman, and then deliberately twisting her waist, which was probably no worse than a bucket, to enter the house.
This aroused the curiosity of Ye San Geng. How could two people who entered the same place not be curious about these two people whose identities were completely different and who would not have had much contact with each other?
Taking a closer look at the house, even though it was planned as an ordinary residential house in order to save land for the rest of the 150,000 soldiers recruited when this military town was originally built, in this alley, This is the only one who can hang a plaque on the door of their home.
Yongzhou.
Of course, it was not for the sake of showing off, but because this place was built in the backyard of the capital city.
Compared with other places in the Central Plains, traveling to and from the capital is convenient and fast, and the water and land routes are unobstructed. However, like the four major governor's offices that guard the four directions, the journey to the capital is far away, and it is more than a thousand miles across mountains and ridges, wading through rivers.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded by Emperor Tianwen. After the two emperors Yongjia and Guotai, they conquered the east and west, conquered the south and conquered the north. Only then did they have a vast territory and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. In order to facilitate the management of the vassal tribes in the east, west, south, and north, Emperor Guotai set up four governor's offices to govern the local areas on behalf of the imperial court, and could act beyond the level when necessary.
In order to facilitate the officials of the prefectures and counties under the Governor's Palace to meet the emperor or move away from other matters, during the reign of Emperor Guotai, the post of Liuyingying was set up, with the post of Liuzhou envoy, responsible for contacting the local area in a timely manner, reporting local conditions to the court, and submitting to the local government Express documents, promptly report the situation to the court and other places to the local area, convey the imperial edicts and documents, handle local tax payments to the court, and ask the court for instructions on major matters that the state government cannot decide without authorization.
It is precisely because of the establishment of this institution that the imperial court's direct control over remote states and counties was invisibly strengthened.
The Liuyuan Courtyard located in Xinghua Lane was set up for Yongzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of the Annan Governor's Mansion in Lingnan Road. It was not deliberately chosen here, but because the Hou Mo of Yongzhou was granted the title ten thousand years ago, and the Liuyuan backyard in the capital city had not yet been repaired, he temporarily settled here.
Ye San Geng clearly remembered that as early as the day before yesterday when it was still cold, Ye Hao had invited him over to pick up the fire dragons for heating, and he had seen the former owner of this courtyard moving unhappy. After asking about it, he found out that someone was spending time with him. The real estate here was bought at a large price, not just a simple real estate. Even if the land price in the capital is not higher than that in the capital, the price of the real estate is four or five times lower than that in the capital. It is indeed a luxury.
Later, when the new owner, who was generous with money, moved in, he even came over to take a look at the house in the middle of the night. Although he didn't see what the owner looked like at the time, he could directly buy the land for a temporary house. It was a grand gesture, and it was quite spectacular to see the horse-drawn carriages exiting Xinghua Lane.
There is no shortage of rich people in the capital, and this style of always having round square holes on their faces is what makes people laugh the most.
Later, when he learned about the identity of his new master, he didn't take it seriously at night. After all, important officials like Yongzhou Marquis were more or less unclean, but he really didn't care about the envoy who stayed behind. Compliment.
The principle of not revealing one's wealth is not just for petty theft. For example, those who have a part-time official position and try their best to show off their abilities will probably only push themselves at the most critical moment, shoot themselves in the foot, and suffer the consequences themselves. .
Naturally, even though he had been a neighbor for almost a season, he didn't see who the Yongzhou Marquis was staying in the capital as his envoy, but his identity made Ye San even more curious.
The daughter of the royal eldest princess and the military attache of the Western Regions, who seems to have an incompatible relationship, appears in the backyard of Yongzhou Liu at the same time, which is indeed a bit puzzling.
However, for the good-natured person in the middle of the night, it is natural to clarify the things he does not understand. With such a bold and bold temperament developed since he was a child, he has to sneak in and take a look. Take a look at what this looks like. Has the man's woman quietly found her right husband?
Anyway, in the middle of the night, I thought about whether the general of the Western Regions who could be with Ning Wei, a female man, really had taboo affairs between men and women, it would be a wonderful thing that would surprise others.
There were a lot of negligible frictions with Ning Wei over such trivial matters as differences between men and women, and more than a year ago, the two of them privately discussed the major incident involving the northwest caravan involving the government and the opposition. In short, the two of them The relationship has become a fire and water situation, and now they are inseparable from each other.
Because of this, whether it was to add insult to injury, or because bystanders were just watching the fun, they all wanted to see what this princess-level woman wanted to do.
I walked around and walked to the back door of this temporary residence in Yongzhou. I didn't have to worry about anyone around. I jumped over the wall in the middle of the night and entered the backyard of this residence in the capital city.
The layout of the houses in this alley is regular and unified. They are all based on the layout of one room and five rooms in the middle of the main hall in the middle of the front and back courtyards, with side rooms on the left and right, and wing rooms. On the third day of the night, according to the layout of his own house, he climbed over the houses and tiles, and there was nothing under his feet. With a lot of caution, he sneaked on the roof very quietly.
The main hall was brightly lit, and a sumptuous table of wine and food was set up, which made Ye Miang's mouth water just looking at it.
You know, from what happened yesterday to now, Ye Xiayou has never had a full meal safely. Ye Xiayou, who was in the middle of the situation, even bought a millet cake. Unfortunately, Ye Xiayou was only greedy.
Now he was still greedy looking at this table of delicacies in the middle of the night, and almost forgot the purpose of coming here. Fortunately, he came back to his senses in time and found a safe corner where he could clearly see the movement in the hall and look at everything from a high position.
There was no room for more than twenty dishes on a large table, and the round table was still more than enough. It would be better to sit opposite the Qingyi man from the Western Region Army, sitting east and west. Ning said that Qi Qia was facing each other in the middle of the night, Qing Yi was facing away, but his appearance was still unclear.
Sitting on the main seat facing the main entrance, the envoy of the Marquis of Yongzhou was Liu. At midnight, he found out that his name was Mo Ying. The intention here.
On the contrary, even though he was facing the third watch of the night, he could only recognize his identity half way.
Especially this person's arrogance regardless of the occasion or time, and his bossy tone whenever he opens his mouth, you can tell who it is even if you close your eyes in the middle of the night.
"Mo Ying, if you call me here at night, you must give me a reasonable excuse."
The woman tightened her thick cloak, revealing her jade arms, which were as delicate and round as a lotus root.
Dressing like this is indeed unusual.
Then the woman raised her legs, and her bare calves were dangling, which was even more dazzling.
The woman leaned forward and looked domineering.
"It delayed me from going back to Guozhou to learn chess..." The woman snorted and said arrogantly, "I'll peel off your skin."
Mrs. Guozhou, Lan Li.
