Luoyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sound of bells and drums woke up the night of Luoyang City, and the lights of the main streets of the city were lit up from the end of the central street in turn, lighting up the sleepy morning of spring, and the open doors announced that Luoyang City had entered a new day's activities.

When the day woke up, the maids walked into the room, lit candles, and waited for Ren Wanru, who had already sat up, to dress and freshen up. When Ren Wanru opened the bead curtain with Princess Qin's makeup and stepped out of the inner door, the morning light had already illuminated every corner of the room.

Some maids stood outside with their heads tucked in and their bellies, while others went in and out, placing their breakfast on the small table in turn. Ren Wanru came to the small desk and sat down, looking out of the door with a straight posture, and the maids with the tails of their skirts placed the gold silk skirts behind her.

After a while, a child of four or five years old was pulled in by a maid who bent over and pulled him in, followed by several maids and nurses, the child's little face was round and cute, but the eyebrows and eyes were born with hard contours. The child saluted in the hall, and said in a milky voice: "Zheng'er greets her mother." ”

Ren Wanru smiled warmly, and when she beckoned the child to come over, the child had already thrown herself into her arms, Ren Wanru was intimate with him for a while, and after asking a few words like whether he slept well last night, he asked the child to sit back on the side.

The mother and son didn't eat for long, because when they were eating, no one spoke.

As the maids took away the dishes, the sunlight was already shining in the hall, Ren Wanru took out a handkerchief, handed it to the child, he wiped his mouth by himself, and returned the handkerchief to Ren Wanru. Then Ren Wanru got up and led the child out.

"Go, listen to the gentleman, and study well." Ren Wanru squatted down in front of the moon gate and admonished the children.

The child nodded solemnly, and then said with annoyance, "But the gentleman always gets up late. ”

"Which gentleman is teaching today?" Ren Wanru asked.

"Mo Shenji." The child laughed, and his smile was brighter than the morning light.

"Don't call me that, sir." Ren Wanru scratched the child's nose, "If Mr. is in the future, he will review what he learned yesterday by himself, go ahead." ”

The child walked away in front of the maids, and when he got out of the moon gate, the child didn't hold anyone's hand anymore, looking at the other party's not so steady steps, Ren Wanru suddenly asked herself if she was stricter with her requirements for children. But soon she shook her head. His father is the most heroic figure in the world, and he must also be the dragon and phoenix among people, so she must be ruthless.

When she arrived at the lobby of her own courtyard, Ren Wanru still sat upright behind the desk first, and then asked unhurriedly: "If there is anything to deal with today, report it one by one." ”

There were many stewards and stewards waiting in the church, and many others were waiting outside the house, and they came out one after another.

The first steward said: "Yesterday's heavy rain washed away a courtyard wall by the unnamed lake, and damaged a lot of famous flowers. ”

Ren Wanru said: "It is true that there was heavy rain yesterday, but it was not so heavy as to wash away the courtyard wall, the courtyard wall is damaged, there are only two possibilities, or the courtyard wall is in disrepair, or the drainage canal is not dredged, now we know what the reason is?" ”

The steward whispered, "I don't know. ”

Ren Wanru said: "The courtyard wall should be rested, and the damaged flowers are transplanted from the flower garden, how much does it cost?" ”

"Back to the princess, you need twenty taels."

Ren Wanru nodded, "This amount is very reasonable. Then do it now. In addition, to investigate the cause of the destruction of the courtyard wall, the deadline is half a day. When it is ascertained, bring the person responsible. ”

The housekeeper stepped back in response, received the note from Ren Wanru's maid on the side, and then went to the courtyard to select a few people, and then took the note to the account room to get money and run errands.

Then the stewards lined up in turn, some said that it was the time to buy clothes this month, some said that the wife of a dignitary handed over the post, some said that the rockery was the time for renovation, some asked how to deal with the fornication of two maids and servants, and asked how many gifts should be given to a family that had a relationship with the palace but rarely interacted with a happy event, and so on.

Ren Wanru dealt with these things one by one, and when there was no one in the hall and the courtyard, it only took an hour or so. Seeing that there was no more steward to wait for the dispatch, Ren Wanru got up and left the lobby and went to check some things that should be checked in various places in the palace, including even the injury and illness visits to the heavyweight maids and domestic slaves of the palace, and dealt with all kinds of things that needed to be dealt with on the spot, trivial and complicated.

After doing this, the hour was almost noon, and when Ren Wanru returned to the lobby, there was another steward waiting in the courtyard, including the investigation of the cause of the destruction of the courtyard wall, and the results came out, Ren Wanru dealt with them one by one, and it was time for lunch.

After lunch, Ren Wanru took a half-time nap. When she woke up, a maid came to report that one of her distant relatives had come to visit her, and asked her if she had seen it. Ren Wanru thought about it carefully for a long time, and then remembered who this distant relative who had not seen her for many years and had no contact with on weekdays, and then asked someone to come and see her.

There were two women, an old man and a young woman, dressed in plain clothes, and they gave a big gift when they met, and then they were very affectionate with Ren Wanru, and kept talking about some things that Ren Wanru couldn't remember when she was a child. When Ren Wanru was about to lose patience, the other party explained his intention, it turned out that their family had taken a fancy to a shop in Luoyang, but because a relative and friend of an official of Luoyang Mansion also took a fancy to it, the two parties were fighting, they came to ask Qin Wangfu for help, and the other party also revealed in his words that he hoped to use the prestige of Qin Wangfu to help lower the rent price of that shop.

If Ren Wanru didn't want the Qin Wangfu to have a reputation as not missing relatives and friends, she would have to help deal with this matter, but if she didn't want the Qin Wangfu to get involved in these disputes over the city's interests, she would have to refuse to help this matter. In the end, Ren Wanru called the maid and took out some money and handed it to others, which was regarded as helping them offset part of the rent of the shop, but she would not send someone to help deal with this matter.

Sent away these two women who obviously felt that Ren Wanru was not strong enough, and was quite resentful, and a maid came to report, saying that Fei Gaozhang's wife had occasional evil deeds and was now bedridden, and asked Ren Wanru if she wanted to visit.

Fei Gaozhang was once the assassin of Youzhou, and had a close relationship with Li Congjing, and had served in the court for several years. Before she went out, Ren Wanru stopped again, asked the maid to call the medical officer of the Qin Palace, and brought her over.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Ren Wanru sent someone to see if Mo Li's lecture had ended, and after learning that the lecture had ended, Ren Wanru was going to Qin Zheng's courtyard and ask the other party what he had learned today.

Before she could go out, a housekeeper came over, hesitated in front of her, and stopped talking.

"What's the matter with the steward?" Ren Wanru stopped and asked, the other party was the neighbor of the Ren family in Weizhou, who had moved around a lot before, and later lived in Weizhou in poverty, so he begged to come to her and became a small steward in the Qin Palace.

The other party only then explained the reason, it turned out that his son-in-law was fighting with someone on the street and was beaten very badly, and the other party was the official eunuch's family, he couldn't afford to provoke and didn't want to swallow this breath, so he wanted to ask Ren Wanru to help and let the other party lose money.

Ren Wanru has not encountered anything since she entered the door of the Li family and took care of the backyard, this kind of thing has long been strange, and she made a decision when she asked the truth in a few words.

It's just this delay, and when Ren Wanru went to see Qin Zheng, the sun was about to set.

As soon as Ren Wanru arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she heard laughter in the courtyard, and when she entered the door, a kite fell from the sky and landed right in front of her feet, and several of Qin Zheng's maids and servants in front of her were already so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and Qin Zheng hurriedly put his hands behind his back and looked timidly at his mother who entered the door.

Ren Wanru, who had been tired all day, felt a wave of anger rise in her heart, at this time Qin Zheng should have been studying her homework, but she secretly played kite, she felt a sour nose, and felt that her son really didn't fight for herself, his father was a hero, not to mention, now this backyard is getting bigger and bigger, I heard that His Majesty intends to let Charuqi's daughter come in, Ren Wanru inquired, that is a talented woman who reads poetry and books all over and is proficient in calligraphy and painting, not to mention that she will be favored in the future, when the other party has children, it will not be a simple person, but Qin Zheng is so stubborn, What should I do if I can't compare to others when the time comes, I can't help it at the moment, and I want to slap my arm to slap the child.

But the slap fell, but it was very gently stroked on Qin Zheng's head, Ren Wanru looked at the child in front of her with a shrunken neck, her heart couldn't bear it after all, she squatted down and showed a smile, "Tell A-Niang, don't you like to fly kites very much?" ”

Qin Zheng nodded fearfully and sincerely.

"Since you like it, it doesn't matter how many times you put it on." Ren Wanru smiled warmly, turned back to the kneeling maids and servants, and said, "Get up." ”

Ren Wanru took the kite handed by the maid and said to Qin Zheng: "A-Niang also liked to fly kites when she was a child, but autumn is a good time to fly kites. Come, A-Niang will fly a kite with you today. ”

Qin Zheng looked surprised, "Really? ”

"Silly child, when did A-Niang lie to you?" Ren Wanru held the kite and started running, "Take what you have in your hand!" ”

Qin Zheng was suddenly overjoyed.

When it was dark, Ren Wanru was covered in sweat and went back to rest.

"The princess has always disliked Her Royal Highness to play around, how can she fly a kite with her today?" While waiting for Ren Wanru to take a bath, the personal maid Xiyu asked.

Ren Wanru sighed, "The book says that the love of parents is long-term. Zheng'er is the age of fun, if the restriction is ruthless, I am afraid that it will backfire, and in the long run, I still have to combine work and rest. She smiled wryly and shook her head, "I was too eager before. ”

After freshening up, Ren Wanru put on her clothes again and came to the courtyard.

The courtyard is paved with clear light.

The sky is full of stars.

Ren Wanru stood on the steps for a while.

The night breeze is cold.

She walked slowly to the courtyard, Xiyu hurriedly took some objects and followed, and the two squatted down and began to weave paste.

The two of them were busy with their work, and the prototype of a lantern was revealed.

A princess is actually making lanterns with her own hands.

A moment later, carrying the lantern, Ren Wanru came to the door of the mansion.

When the soldier on duty saw Ren Wanru, he hurriedly saluted, and one of the older ones, who was afraid that he was nearly thirty years old, grinned and said, "The princess is a little slower today." ”

"Zheng'er is a little stubborn and delays the hour." Ren Wanru smiled gently, "Please also ask Commander He to help hang it up." ”

"Okay!"

Commander He picked up the lantern, stepped on the ladder, and hung the brand-new lantern in the most conspicuous position in front of the mansion.

It's just an ordinary lantern.

Ren Wanru looked at the lantern and stood quietly in front of the mansion for a long time.

Light a lamp and wait for someone.

Princess Qin has been doing this simple thing for eight years.

In eight years, how many lanterns did she have in one hand?

......

The sound of the horse's hooves was like raindrops, and a cavalry team galloped, like a sharp arrow off the string, piercing the night, and the pen reached the front of Luoyang City.

When the people on the city wall saw this cavalry team with torches, their eyes widened in confusion, who was this, and why did they arrive outside the city at this time?

"King Qin returns, open the city gates!" Meng Songbai rushed to the city gate first, and he immediately reined in and shouted loudly towards the city tower.

The gates were wide open, and the cavalry entered the city.

The long street is like a big river, thousands of miles in front of you.

Half of Luoyang City was in the dark at this time.

Li Congjing, who took the lead, always looked ahead with his eyes.

Until he turned the street, he saw the lantern, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

In the past eight years, whenever he returned from the expedition, he would see the ordinary lantern in front of the mansion. In eight years, nothing has changed.

Where the lights are lit, that is, where they return.
