Chapter 176: The Trip to Langzhou (7) (2nd Update)
"What? His Royal Highness King Shou is walking? Why is there no news at all? β
In the Yali of Cangxi County, hearing the news of Li Ye and his entourage leaving, Zhang Shanxiang looked at the master in front of him with a surprised face, and hurriedly asked.
"It is said that His Royal Highness King Shou went to the third lady's grandfather's house early in the morning, and left directly after lunch, thinking that he would arrive in the state city tonight." The master said truthfully, "And... And.... β
Seeing that the other party was spitting, Zhang Shanxiang said dissatisfied, "And what? What do you say, what do you do? You're not stammering. β
"Lord Hui, it is said that Shilang of the Yang Mansion will return to Lizhou with His Highness in the future, and even Young Master Lin will follow His Highness to Lizhou." After speaking, the master cautiously stepped back, and then plucked up the courage to raise his head to look at the reaction of his own county commander.
"What?" Zhang Shanxiang said incredulously.
Who Shiro of the Yang Mansion is, he naturally knows, after all, it is also his brother-in-law. This Yang Shilang is the younger brother of his concubine Yang, and the youngest brother of the Yang family, he has been smart since he was a child, and he has passed the state and county examinations before he was less than twenty years old, and has become the youngest township tribute in Cangxi County.
In the early years, he still valued this brother-in-law more. However, with the death of the Yang family, the relationship between the two families has become very stiff, and they are naturally estranged a lot, and it is thankful that they are not enemies when they meet.
"My lord, what now?" The master also knew that the county magistrate in front of him was in a bad mood, so he asked cautiously.
"Where's Lin'er?" Zhang Shanxiang, who was a little irritable, suddenly asked.
"Liulang is still in the Yang Mansion."
"Send someone to pick up Rokuro back... No, go prepare some gifts or something, and send them to Yang's mansion. β
"Yes, sir!"
After the master left, Zhang Shanxiang's face collapsed suddenly. Originally, he planned very well, his third daughter became King Shou's woman, he wanted to take advantage of this to get a relationship with King Shou, but he didn't expect to prepare well, but now he has fallen short.
Fortunately, King Shou returned to Lizhou, and he would pass through Cangxi, and there was still a chance to save the relationship.
Just when Zhang Shanxiang was thinking about how to deal with the things behind him in the study, a sharp voice sounded outside, and before he could react, the door of the study was knocked open from the outside, and he saw his jealous wife walk in with an unkind face. Seeing him sitting in the study, the other party did not retreat, but pointed to his face and strode over.
"Surnamed Zhang, what do you want to do? You actually want to give the things from the house to the's mother's family, with my consent? β
"Madam, this is the Zhang family, I am the master of the Zhang family, who to give things to, that's up to me, Madame, don't mess around." Zhang Shanxiang was angry when he saw this face, if it wasn't for the other party's nonsense before, which disappointed His Royal Highness, how could he leave without saying hello?
"Say I'm messing around? Did you think of him when you saw that cheap woman's daughter falling close to the prince? Isn't it just a concubine next to the prince, maybe one day he will lose his favor. Chen said loudly, and the voice could be heard clearly even outside the house.
Syllable!
Under the stunned expressions on the faces of the subordinates on the side, Zhang Shanxiang, who had been submissive in front of the Chen family before, actually slapped the other party heavily, but these subordinates were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
"The surname Zhang? Do you dare to hit me? After marrying your Zhang family for many years, you dare to beat me today? I'll fight with you. As he spoke, Chen grabbed Zhang Shanxiang's face with his teeth and claws.
Then there was another crisp slap.
These two slaps directly stunned Chen, covering his face and looking at this strange husband incredulously.
Looking at the people behind him in a daze, Zhang Shanxiang said with a calm face, "What are you doing in a daze?" Take Mrs. down, and there is no order from Lord Ben, Mrs. is not allowed to leave the mansion, especially to make trouble in Yang Mansion. Otherwise, don't blame Lord Ben for being unkind! β
"Yes!"
Zhang Shanxiang, who suddenly leaked domineeringly, shocked these subordinates, but he didn't expect that this time, his own county master seemed to have changed as if he had changed.

"Your Highness, isn't it appropriate for us to go this way? After all, that's also Sister Yue's father. β
On the boat, Wang Wanshuang came to Li Ye, who was fishing, and said softly.
I don't know if it was because I was too tired last night, or what was going on, Liu Chenyan didn't have much energy today, and she went back to her room to rest soon after getting on the boat; Xiaoyue is not in a good mood and is resting; Xiaoying went to Langzhou to arrange a place for Li Ye first, or to take care of the accommodation arranged by Yang Hanzhou, so only Wang Wanshuang was with Li Ye.
Wang Wanshuang can be said to be the most non-existent among the girls, not as talented as Sun Mei, and not as good as Li Xianglan in terms of beauty and dancing. Although she is better than Liu Chenyan in embroidery and literary talent, Liu Chenyan is a princess, and she is also deeply loved by Li Ye, let alone compared.
Compared with Xiaoying and Xiaoyue, who are also concubines, there is no close relationship between the second daughter and Li Ye. After Li Ye's wedding, Wang Wanshuang entered the Shouwang Mansion, although the choice was also a good day and an auspicious day, but there was no wedding. Therefore, it has been several months since he entered the palace, and the time he has been in the same room with Li Ye has not exceeded ten days.
Of course, Wang Wanshuang is not without her own characteristics, that is, her female workers are very good, especially in embroidery, which is the best among the women.
If you compare, you can actually see Li Ye's preference type for women. Whether it is Liu Chenyan, Sun Mei and others, they are all in good shape, neither fat nor thin, which is different from the mainstream aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty that regarded fat as beauty.
Wang Wanshuang is an alternative among several women, with a slightly plump figure, which is more in line with the current aesthetics, of course, it is a different concept from fat. If it was really according to the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, it would be impossible for Li Ye to marry into the palace, which is why other princes did not understand Li Ye's aesthetics.
Wang Wanshuang is also aware of this, so she has been restraining her diet for a while now, so that her figure is the same as that of other women. At this time, taking advantage of the fact that Liu Chenyan's daughters were unable to serve Li Ye, Wang Wanshuang naturally would not miss this opportunity to be alone with His Royal Highness.
Because Xiaoying took part of his entourage to prepare for the residence first, Li Ye ordered the boat to be temporarily stopped more than ten miles away from Langzhou, and he was bored to catch fish by the Jialing River.
"It doesn't matter, I came to Langzhou this time to do business, I will finish my business first, and then deal with these private matters. Anyway, when I go back to Lizhou, I have to go through Cangxi, and then I will talk about it. β
γ‘ζ°γ€~(8)~1~Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο~8.~1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
Li Ye's voice was very low, and he didn't turn his head, his eyes were always staring at the buoy on the river. This kind of fish in the river is not as easy to catch as the fish in the pond, so be patient, even if it is almost a quarter of an hour, Li Ye only catches two and a half crucian carp.
"His Royal Highness is also too good to Sister Yue, and the concubines are a little envious." Wang Wanshuang can be regarded as knowing a little bit of Li Ye's temper, as long as she is not deliberately jealous, Li Ye is generally not angry, but when she said this, she also summoned up great courage.
"What? Frost is jealous? Li Ye smiled slightly.
"Uh-huh!" Wang Wanshuang replied sweetly, that voice made Li Ye couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and couldn't help but glance at the woman who had the lowest sense of presence among her own women.
Looking at the other party's obviously emaciated body, Li Ye couldn't help but say, "Shuang'er, I heard that you have used very little every meal during this time?" Did you see that this king likes Yan'er and Mei'er's figures, so you want to be like them? β
Wang Wanshuang put her hands together in front of her, bowed her head, although she did not open her mouth to admit it, nor did she object to what Li Ye said.
Li Ye said with a smile, "Actually, Shuang'er doesn't have to be like this, you can't be yourself when you eat." Just be your own, this king likes the way you used to be, plump and noble, like them, you have lost your own characteristics. β
"But His Royal Highness rarely comes to the concubine, so the concubine thinks it's γγγγγγ" Speaking of this, Wang Wanshuang's face was also red, and she didn't continue.
"Your Highness, the fish has taken the bait."
Just when Li Ye was thinking about how to answer the other party, Zhang Wei, who was standing quietly on the side, whispered to remind Li Ye who was thinking.
Hearing the reminder, Li Ye turned around and found that the buoys on the water surface had been mostly submerged in the water at some point, and they were even constantly heading towards the water. Li Ye reacted that a fish had been hooked, and when he lifted the fishing rod slightly, he felt a force, which was completely different from the fish that had been hooked before, and the movement of this fish was very large.
It seemed to be a big fish, Li Ye dealt with it carefully, and after competing with the fish in the water, he felt that the fish had bitten the hook tightly and began to pull the fish out of the water.
As the fish came out of the water, the written movement became bigger and bigger, and a big fish of more than a foot appeared in Li Ye's sight.
Looking at the big carp that was finally packed in the fish basket, Li Ye couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you can eat the fish you caught tonight." β
At this moment, a fast horse came in the distance, and Li Ye knew its intention, "It seems that it is double happiness, and I ordered to go down and prepare to leave for Langzhou." β
The fish that suddenly caught the bait and the galloping fast horse made Wang Wanshuang disappear without a trace at once, looking at the big carp that made Li Ye happy, she had a little dissatisfaction in her eyes.
