[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

In Liangzhou, the climate is drier than Longzhou, and the trees and rocks along the way have gradually changed. They are no longer towering peaks, but stretching mountains. There are large areas of plains sandwiched between the mountains. See the tents set up by herdsmen.

Daiyu raised the curtain of the car and looked around. Compared with before, she was more comfortable, at least she no longer felt the yellow sand blowing against her face. The road she walked before was surrounded by desert. When there was a strong wind, people sitting in the carriage felt like It's like rolling around in the sand.

"I heard it's coming soon, I don't know what Liangzhou City looks like."

"What difference can there be between the cities? They are all in the north, so there shouldn't be too much difference, but they can't compare to the prosperity of the capital." The capital is at the foot of the emperor, so naturally it can't be compared with any other place, but Daiyu's love for the capital is very good. There is not much nostalgia, and now it is like a person who has been trapped for a long time is released from the cage.

Living freely between heaven and earth is more important than any glory and wealth.

Putting down the curtain, he rolled his eyes and looked at Zijuan and Xueyan, "I don't know what species there are in Liangzhou. I have seen them in books before, but I don't know what they look like. They are always idle on weekdays. Why don't you go to the market yourself?" Pick some at home to plant, this season, it is not difficult to feed."

"Since the girl thinks, after the settlement is settled, call two guards, and we will accompany the girl to go out to the market." Zijuan thought of something after speaking, "Liangzhou is next to the Western Regions. In the past, it was only on the streets of the capital. I’ve seen it before, but I don’t know if it’s the same as what I saw before.”

"kindness?"

"What Zicuckoo means is that there are many new gadgets in the Western Regions. There is another thing in the luggage we brought, which is a tribute from the Western Regions. A glazed lantern given to the prince by the officials has been placed in the bedroom. This time we also brought it with us. Here we come." A lot of the luggage was packed by Xue Yan himself, so she naturally knew what to pack.

That glazed lamp was indeed of high quality, and if it could be used as a tribute, it must be a top-quality item. Ordinary Daiyu would unconsciously hold it for a look, but Xueyan put it away after thinking about it, and took it with her.

When you arrive in a new place, you must have some familiar things on display so that you don't feel strange.

"I remembered that there were indeed, and there were more than one or two. Fortunately, you didn't collect them all, otherwise it would be easy to break. The things that were introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions are indeed fresh, but when they arrive in Liangzhou, I can't buy it anywhere." Daiyu wiped her face with a handkerchief and fanned it lightly.

It was extremely hot at the end of July. If it wasn't for the curtains to let the wind blow in while sitting in the carriage, they would have suffocated to death in the carriage.

The soldiers outside were even more so. After a day, their clothes were almost all wet with sweat.

"Ma'am, would you like some water?"

Daiyu shook her head and leaned back, "From now on, you don't call me a girl when you are out, lest people think that I am still in the boudoir."

"Yes, princess."

Xueyan's words made Zijuan and Daiyu look at each other and smile. If they want to say that this is a joke, it depends on Xueyan. It's harmless to play petty temper occasionally, but it makes everyone laugh.

The sound in the carriage spread outside the carriage, and Ji Yuanlan couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and his mood improved a lot.

Looking at Ding's case on the side, it became more and more unimaginable that Ji Yuanlan married Daiyu. The former Ji Yuanlan and the current Ji Yuanlan are completely like two people.

"Instead of staring at me, it's better to have a family yourself, so you can understand how I feel." Ji Yuanlan turned to look at Ding's case, "The Longzhou government has sent news back, saying that the mountains near the village where we live have been flattened." bandits, but it will take time to eradicate them."

"What is your lord going to do next?"

"First understand the situation in Liangzhou. We came from the capital city. Of course, the government here wants to save face. Many things are different from what we learned in the capital city before. Only when we come to understand it ourselves can we know the whole story. "

Judging from the report, the matter is not that bad, but judging from the current situation, Liangzhou must have concealed something, and it has concealed a lot.

Ji Yuanlan pondered, since he has arrived at Liangzhou Daying, Liangzhou Daying and Liangzhou government originally belonged differently, but fortunately he has a special status and the support of the emperor, so naturally he can do what he wants to do, and what he wants to investigate can also be done. Can be found, the only thing to pay attention to is not to cause hostility on both sides.

If the Liangzhou government has a grudge against the Liangzhou camp, then once the war starts, the supplies in the rear may go wrong. Marching and fighting, the rear supplies, food, grass, and medicinal materials are the most indispensable things.

"Who is the governor of Liangzhou now?"

"Guess it."

Looking at Ji Yuanlan's expression, Ding An knew that Ji Yuanlan might have investigated all these things before he left Beijing, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that the prince is well prepared, and I really don't worry that he will be swayed by the governor of Liangzhou." Bureau Hongmen Banquet."

"There are not many Hongmen banquets in this world that allow me to attend banquets. At least for now, the officials are determined not to invite me to banquets." As long as the boss does not fall and his position remains unchanged, Ji Yuanlan can show his talents in Liangzhou. Maybe all the problems in Liangzhou can be found out and solved, and the situation can be saved.

If there is a problem with the government in Liangzhou, it will definitely not work.

"My lord has already made up his mind. If we pay attention, we can wait and see what happens next. However, your lord should be careful. Liangzhou is not the capital after all."

It's not unreasonable to say that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. Even if Ji Yuanlan has the emperor's backing, when he arrives in Liangzhou, thousands of miles away from the capital, the day lily will be cold by the time the news is sent back.

Ji Yuanlan knew the meaning of Ding's case and nodded.

The marching speed was faster than before. When they were [-] miles away from Liangzhou, the group stopped and waited for Ji Yuanlan to settle Daiyu. There are two roads here, one is to Liangzhou City, and the other is to Liangzhou Camp.

Ji Yuanlan must go to the Liangzhou camp first, and all the commanders in the army are waiting for him. If he sends Daiyu into the city first, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people, and it will affect the next plan no matter how you look at it.

"Are you going to Daying?" Daiyu looked at Ji Yuanlan, saw him lift the curtain, and asked in a low voice, "Just let Ding An go to the city with us, so you can rest assured."

Ji Yuanlan, who had just lifted the curtain of the car, let Daiyu finish her sentence before she had time to speak, couldn't help laughing, and jumped directly into the car to look at Daiyu.

"When did the princess become a roundworm in my husband's stomach? She even knew exactly what I wanted to say, but—"

"kindness?"

"Ding's case is to go with you. The mansion has just been settled. It is an old house. Fortunately, it is clean and the location is quiet. Let Zijuan or Xueyan tell Dongfu what you want to buy, and Dongfu will send someone to buy it. of."

Hearing the reluctance in Ji Yuanlan's words, Daiyu couldn't help chuckling at such careful instructions, and stretched out her hand to hold Ji Yuanlan's hand, "Aren't you coming back later? It's not like I won't see you anymore."

"I thought you were as sad as I was."

It turned out that I cared about this.

Daiyu coughed lightly, seeing Zijuan and Xueyan pretending not to hear, she smiled, "No matter how reluctant you are, you have to go. If you don't go to the Liangzhou camp, you can go again some other day." , people won’t accept you.”

"It's hard for the princess to think about important things for me all the time."

"I won't help you remember, who else do you want to help you remember?" Daiyu said angrily, "Hurry up, there are still thirty miles to go, the carriage is slower than your horses, if you delay, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it to the city .”

Hearing this, Ji Yuanlan let out a long sigh, feeling that Daiyu today is really different from before, but her tone of voice and demeanor are still the same as before.

Squeezing Daiyu's palm, "I don't know when I will go back. If you are sleepy, you don't have to wait for me."

"Of course not." Daiyu answered without hesitation, making Ji Yuanlan dumbfounded.

It's really the same as before, what you say can make you choke, even if you don't answer, it's even worse if you don't answer.

The hands that were held together by the two were released, and Ji Yuanlan backed out of the carriage. When he turned around, he saw Daiyu's eyes fell on him. Compared with just now, he was full of worry.

It's not that I'm worried that Ji Yuanlan won't be able to cope with those commanders, but I think that Ji Yuanlan will come back after discussing with everyone. I'm afraid it's already late at night. When I return to Liangzhou City from Daying, I'm afraid it's almost dawn. Tonight, Ji Yuanlan may have to stay In the big camp.

Ding An came on horseback and looked at Daiyu, "Princess, don't worry, the prince just went to the camp to deal with some trivial matters, hand over the affairs, and he will definitely come back at midnight."

Hearing this, Daiyu was startled, looked at Ding's case and nodded, "En."

"Then let's set off for the city."

"Wait—forget it, let's go." Daiyu hesitated for a while, then swallowed her words, and motioned Zijuan to put down the curtain.

Zijuan nodded to Ding'an, then put down the curtain, "What did you want to ask just now, Miss?"

Daiyu shook her head lightly, lowered her eyes and said, "I just thought of something."

Although Ding's words were meant to reassure her, there are many things in the Liangzhou camp, not to mention the incidents encountered at the border between the two places before. With such a brain, it may not be easy to get out and leave.

Ji Yuanlan was really spoiled, and it was difficult to adapt.

Thinking about it, I know what kind of busy Ji Yuanlan will be in the future. Fortunately, Zijuan and Xueyan are here, so I won’t be bored. If they are really not around, when I come to this place, Daiyu will enjoy flowers and read books every day. , I'm afraid I'm really going to get bored.

"Didn't you just say that there are many people from the Western Regions here, and if Dongfu or someone else will accompany us, we can still go out for a walk, and the prince is not here, and there will be few people to take care of the girl."

Zijuan gave Xueyan a wink while talking, Xueyan immediately followed up knowingly: "Zijuan is right, if the prince is here, maybe the girl will be disgusted if she is looked at twice by others."

Hearing that the two wanted to make her happy, Daiyu couldn't help laughing.

Forget it, we can't be together all the time, and we're not children anymore.
