Minister

89【Seven years of Jiankang】

Qin Juan was startled by the dog, and her legs became limp uncontrollably. After she stood still for a while, she saw that besides the white mist raised by the horse's hooves, there was a person in a white robe in front of her.Fortunately, this person was alert, Wei Wei saluted and jumped off the horse to help him hold the horse's head.Only then did Qin Juan come to her senses, put the rein in the young man's hand, and turned to untie the tree.

Yuxiang was flustered, but there was a little surprise in it.

who are you?

The young man was very courteous, and deliberately turned his face away to avoid Yuxiang's feet. Yuxiang sat on the horse's back, holding on to the bridle tightly, and gradually his heartbeat stabilized, only to realize that the man's fingers were no more than an inch away from his own. There is a hint of familiar red on the tip——Liu Shazi?As if this was a great happy event, Yuxiang gradually forgot about his predicament.

The card was indeed very tight, Qin Juan couldn't help but wiped his sweat, and took a look at the young adult, he didn't look like an official family son, his clothes could only be described as decent, not luxurious.The horses were not good, but the hounds were not bad.But it seemed that he was a civil servant, gentle and feminine, and he was worried that he would not be stable, but he didn't expect that he was quite strong.Yuxiang looked at the slender fingers and pointed out his mind, and felt that they were no different from his own. Seeing that he was pulling the bridle tightly, he began to worry that he would not be able to bear it.

The horses were the first to lose patience. No matter how well trained they were, the horses still couldn't stand the pain and struggled to the limit.This was what Qin Juan was most worried about, and the two quickly stabilized it, so Wei Chi had no choice but to raise his head: "Elder-in-law, you..."

Eunuch Qin knows what this means. Men and women's defense is of course important, but people are even more important!He just gritted his teeth: "Come here!"

When the horse calmed down a bit, the two quickly changed hands.Qin Juan asked Tangtang to come and support Yuxiang.Tangtang took Yuxiang's hand, but seeing her not panicking, she looked at the strange boy foolishly.

Wei Chi didn't do anything at first, and after a closer look, he found that one of these branches was wrongly attached to the other branches, so it couldn't be pulled out.Wei Chi knew that he must not touch the princess' jade body, so he held the stirrup with both hands, turned to Qin Juan and said, "Elder-in-law, I will push the horse down in a while, and it will loosen once I press it down."

Qin Juan had no choice but to listen to Wei Chi, her heart was in her throat.

'boom! Wei Chi and Qin Juan worked hard together, and the horse knelt down on the snow. Wei Chi took advantage of this gap to pull the stirrup forward, and after a while, he let go of the iron ring and the little feet wearing moccasin boots.Yuxiang heard a thump, and the horse fell on the snow at once, and the snow on the tree was thumping and thumping, and it was about to fall.Yu Xiang hurriedly covered his face with his hand - but he didn't. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the boy was still looking away, and the snow was falling on him...

Eunuch Qin was very happy to see that the crisis had been put on hold, and hurried over to take care of Yuxiang to see if he was injured.Yuxiang was placed on the leather stool, holding the warm apricot wine that Tangtang gave her in his hand.The young man stood respectfully, still not squinting, polite.Yuxiang peeked at it for a while, a little frustrated, and even hoped that he didn't know that he was Princess Qinghe, so that he could smile at himself like last time...

After confirming that Yuxiang was just a little frightened, Qin Juan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around again, the strange boy had already stabilized the horse.

Seeing Eunuch Qin going to pick up the reins from the young man, Yu Xiang was a little anxious—don't!Don't!I don't know who you are yet, don't leave like this without a sound!

Qin Juan took the reins from Wei Chi, smiled gratefully at him, Wei Chi arched, and stepped back respectfully.

do not!

"Don't!" Qin Juan said suddenly, "Why is the saddle loose?"

ha?Yuxiang saw the young man turning his head, glanced at himself inadvertently, and quickly looked away.

Wei Chi checked the saddle, there was a copper ring lost at some point, and the saddle became loose.This is also a game of the rich, military saddles are not fancy, this part is welded firmly, the nobles have a lot of business, here is a copper ring, if you lose it, you will not be able to tighten the saddle.

"A copper ring fell off." Wei Chi pointed at the snow, "It's probably on the snow."

"Let's look for it together..." Yuxiang plucked up his courage.

The snow is a foot deep, how could it be found?But since the princess yelled and gave the order, Wei Chi followed suit, but because he knew he would never find it, Wei Chi pretended to be serious about touching it, but he was actually being lazy.

Regardless of Tangtang's dissuasion, Yuxiang lay down on the snow to search, hoping that he would never find it... Peeking at the boy, his dark eyes always looked elsewhere, Yuxiang secretly looked, hoping that he could look at himself too , or don't look at him, so that I can look at him unscrupulously.

Beautiful boy, who are you?Yuxiang fumbled and guessed wildly, and suddenly bumped into a hard one—a copper ring?

If Wei Chi knew that he could find it, he probably wouldn't be lazy right now.

Yuxiang pouted, looking at that little playful Yinger angrily!He secretly hooked it with his little finger, took a deep breath, and finally looped it into his sleeve while everyone was not paying attention, and continued to touch it in the snow.

Qin Juan saw that it was getting late: "Princess, that copper ring is not very important, it's getting late, shall we go back?"

Yuxiang also knew that it wasn't very important, so he twisted Nini to stand up and moved towards the white horse.

"I'm afraid..." Yuxiang finally said.

"Then the princess rides the servant girl?" Qin Juan laughed.

"...Then..." Yuxiang knew that he was poor, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, he got on the horse after a while.

"your Highness."

Seeing that the boy finally spoke, Yuxiang was a little happy but couldn't help feeling shy.I saw the young man raised his head gracefully, and took an agate ring from his hand: "I can handle it for a while with this."

This time without waiting for the father-in-law's approval, Wei Chi knelt down, tightened the saddle, and pinned the ring on it.

"...Thank you." Yuxiang secretly squeezed the copper ring in his palm.

"Your Highness, you are welcome."

Yuxiang heard his voice very pleasantly, and couldn't help looking up at him. Eunuch Qin was turning his head. The young man smiled to himself very quickly, shook his hand, and whispered, "Princess, don't be afraid, the agate is very strong. !"

Many years later, Chen Yuxiang still couldn't forget these words. He remembered the boy calling him princess, remembered his low voice to comfort himself not to be afraid, remembered his smile, remembered his black eyes, remembered Liu Shazi's red fingers, remembered his own heart dizzying.

Seeing the group of people walking away, Wei Chi let out a little breath, thinking what kind of luck he had recently?Either the prince or the princess?Turning around and getting on the horse, the black horse was already showing signs of fatigue, Wei Chi didn't want to delay any longer, so he beat the horse back to the shortcut.Back at the camp, he handed the dog back to the eunuch next to King Qin. The eunuch cupped his hands and said, "Master Wei, if you hunt something, don't forget to give it to the boys of the cavalry and archery department." King Qin is looking for trouble.So he detoured to the main camp and handed over all the animal teeth he hunted.

The aristocratic officials who rarely slept outside were very excited all night. Mr. Wei, who had suffered a lot outside the Great Wall, did not follow the excitement, and wrapped up the quilt early to rest.

The siege lasted for three days, and almost all the bosses returned to Beijing the next day. Young officials like Wei Chi only stayed until today. After all, they are people on official business. If you have to do entertainment, you can't spend it all at the royal party.

King Qin planned to go back to Yulong after his twenties, so he stopped hunting and let other noble children catch the leftover rabbits he had caught.Wei Chi watched the falcons at the edge of the paddock when he was free, but he didn't leave.In the afternoon, the hunting list from the previous two days was posted. The emperor is naturally number one, the king of Qin is second, and the third is an unknown person named Chen Jingtai. It's really stingy not to give some benefits to the courtiers." King Qin gave a rare smile when he heard this.

Wei Chi was joking with the King of Qin when suddenly a falcon leaped in front of him. Unexpectedly, Wei Chi was taken aback and said, "Ah! ' cried out.Everyone in the venue laughed. Indeed, Wei Chi's reaction was a little louder, a little funny.The owner of the eagle also came over to apologize, Wei Chi smiled and said it's okay.

"That's it?" Chen Jingtai stood a little far away.

His young servant's name is Qi Zhu, Qi Zhu looked around the field: "It's Master Wei Chi."

"Wei Chi?"

Chen Jingtai's cousin Xiang Ning leaned over: "Isn't it the one who met the princess yesterday?"

Chen Jingtai frowned and snorted. He later found out that the princess didn't know any descendants of the historians. It was just because when Shi Ze went to allocate vehicles for the Tai Tuo, this person followed, and the princess might have misunderstood it.Thinking that he wanted to meet such a person, this young man couldn't help feeling pantothenic.On the second night, they found out that this person actually met the princess again, so he became more and more interested in this person named Wei Chi.It's a pity that Wei Chi didn't know the existence of such a person, and he still patted the snow on his clothes foolishly.

"My lord, greet the King of Qin." Chen Jingtai was a little annoyed, without thinking too much, he rushed over to greet the King of Qin.Xiang Ning failed to hold Chen Jingtai, so he had to follow him.

Chen Su knew him and nodded slightly.Xiang Ning knew that this cousin was very angry, and regretted that she was talking too much, and it was not good to be very provocative at the moment, but she was secretly anxious.

Wei Chi was quite curious how this man greeted King Qin, but looked at him, as if he was going to eat him.

Qin Wang also felt that something was wrong, and after introducing Wei Chi on the side, he stopped talking.It stands to reason that King Qin is a prince, and Wei Chi is an official of the fifth rank. If they ignore them, Chen Jingtai really has no reason to hang on.There is a saying that wine must be intoxicating, but I don't know that vinegar is also intoxicating.Chen Jingtai took a closer look at this Wei Chi, and felt that he was more feminine than those historians, and he was short, so he couldn't see what was good about him.Thinking back to people talking about his military exploits in Fengyi this time, they were already full of doubts. Thinking about it, the evil was on the verge of courage, and they didn't care about King Qin's face and made trouble.

"What's the ranking of Master Wei?"

Wei Chi felt that the visitor was not kind, but this person did not have a kind temper in the first place.Although he didn't know how this nameless fire caught him, he still deliberately teased him with a smile: "Tenth."

Chen Jingtai naturally knew that Wei Chi was the tenth, and he was very happy to see Wei Chi talking to him: "Is Mr. Wei the righteous Mr. Wei?"

"Don't dare." Wei Chi almost guessed what this man was going to say.

Sure enough, Chen Jingtai pinched his beard arrogantly: "I heard that my lord can defeat a thousand troops by himself, why did you get the tenth place?"

Sure enough, the King of Qin said: "Master Wei has only been there for a long time, alone, with only a dog."

Xiang Ning heard that King Qin was not very happy, and was very anxious in her heart. She just hoped that Mr. Wei would stop teasing her cousin.

Unexpectedly, that person is really not a troublemaker.

"My lord, your family is too stingy. The top three are just fine. Why are the top ten reluctant to save some for the ministers?" Wei Chi smiled deliberately: "Mr. Chen is the one who is locked up in Heze? I mentioned Mu Shouren, Lord Mu, so I have heard about Lord Chen's heroic appearance, and I admire him."

These words are very sour. There are two meanings. One is to remind Chen Jingtai to pay attention to his seniority. It is true that he is young, but his rank is from the generation of your boss. Don’t think you are a junior just because you don’t have a beard. up.The second is to remind Chen Jingtai of his military merits.I am the hero of Feng Yi in my discussion of martial arts, and the thesis is Xiaolian in the previous session. Except for my father, no one can compare to you, a relative of the emperor.

Chen Jingtai was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, how could he bear this kind of anger?Sure enough, he was carried in his heart, but this person was honest, he hadn't thought about how to make trouble for the time being, and his face turned red and blue with anxiety.

King Qin didn't know Wei Chi's natural nature of being a troublemaker, but he just felt that Chen Jingtai was inexplicable, so he didn't want to see this distant relative in his heart.Poor Chen Jingtai has eaten a stomach full of jealousy, soured himself, and no one else knows.

"I don't know what Mr. Wei has hunted?" Chen Jingtai is really an honest person, he only knows how to discuss the facts.

Wei Chi continued to tease him: "I don't remember." The clerk of Jibang and the list are just outside Eagle Field, Wei Chi pointed: "If you read it, forget it."

Chen Jingtai ran out of the arena foolishly, and Xiang Ning hurriedly followed in fear of causing trouble.The big villain Wei Chi made a gesture of invitation to King Qin. King Qin saw the man smirking and was also curious about how he would deal with him, so he gloated and followed.

A large group of people from Yingchang came here at leisure, all of them were curious about how this young Master Wei would deal with the big red man in front of the emperor——Chen Jingtai.

Wei Chi was listless just after he left the Eagle Farm—why is the emperor here?It's not good to bully his family members in front of the emperor!

Wei Chi put away his domineering face, and walked over honestly.

"Master Wei is ranked tenth. It's really good. I don't know what happened?" Chen Yan didn't know that the two were losing their temper, and thought it was a chance encounter. He was very satisfied with Chen Jingtai's results just now, so he asked this question. Wei Chi was just casually polite.

Wei Chi smiled and said: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, I hunted six wild boars."

Chen Jingtai was furious—didn't you just say you didn't remember?But I couldn't help but be surprised, this person is only half a day, how can a dog hunt so many?She looks very feminine, can't she have real skills?

Seeing Chen Yan's expression, Wei Chi didn't look like Chen Jingtai had complained, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.In fact, how could people in the world be as bad as Wei Chi thought?Do you want to harm someone?If that's the case, everyone in the world will become an official.

But this time Wei Chi wanted to calm things down, but Chen Jingtai, a dead-headed man, carried it on.

"Master Wei's marksmanship is really good!" Chen Jingtai sighed: "I have shot so much with the gun."

Chen Xing looked at the book record, next to Wei Chi's name was written - Jianhun.

Wei Chi smiled and said, "I didn't bring a gun."

Seeing King Qin nodding aside, Chen Xing naturally believed in King Qin, and felt a little unhappy.

Unfortunately, Chen Jingtai also said: "My lord has only hunted all afternoon, and there is only one person and one dog. How can we do it without a gun?"

It's fine for Wei Chi to deny it, King Qin nodded, this Chen Jingtai is still admitting to death, so it can be seen that he is not reasonable.

Wei Chi smiled and bowed to Chen Yan: "The emperor clearly checked that the monthly salary of the minister is only more than twenty taels of silver, even if he wants to buy this gun... he can't afford it!"

After hearing this, everyone coaxed them into laughing, even Chen Xing couldn't hold back, pointing at Wei Chi while laughing, "Master Wei still knows how to tell jokes like this." He smiled on his face, but thought of Wei Chi Regarding the matter of Chi, he said: "I can't tolerate my disbelief. Master Wei's hand plucks the strings well, writes well, and draws well. I believe in it very much, but this riding and shooting, hehe, no wonder I am."

Chen Jingtai was born to be a spearman, so he immediately jumped out and said, "I am willing to compete with Master Wei in arrow skills."

Wei Chi pretended to shirk, humming and chirping, King Qin couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "It's boring to be empty, my brother, let's bet with two hundred taels of silver!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that Master Xiao Wei suddenly agreed, everyone laughed coaxingly again.

Chen Jingtai deeply felt that this person had a thick skin, a murderous martial arts contest turned into a trifle in an instant, he was unhappy but also helpless.

Chen Hao was also aroused interest: "Since it is a martial arts competition, we still need to have a posture, come here, and go to the field in front of the main camp to set a target."

After a while, the venue was set up, and the spectators had their seats according to their status. The two hundred taels of silver offered by King Qin was entrusted to the reward plate, shining brightly.It's been a long time since such an interesting event, not to mention that Wei Chi has always been an interesting person, everyone laughed happily, but no one cared about the outcome.

"Where's the princess?" Tangtang ran into the inner tent and asked.

The little maid inside replied: "The princess is riding a horse in the backyard."

Tangtang hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and went to the backstage. Fortunately, it was not far away, and Tangtang pulled the little eunuch named Shaoqiu when she arrived at the sidelines: "Go quickly, let me know that I want to see the princess!"

Yuxiang didn't know what was going on: "What's wrong? I was sweating from running!"

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Tangtang grabbed Yuxiang's hand and said with a smile, "Hurry up! If you're late, you won't be able to catch up."

"What can't catch up, can you catch up?" Yuxiang was having fun and didn't want to leave.

Tangtang anxiously attached Yuxiang's ear: "Does the princess know who the person who stabilized the horse is?"

"what?"

"He is that Wei Wei!"

"what?!"

Wei Chi changed into his riding and shooting clothes, removed the Tang hat with only plain hairpins on it, and casually picked up a handful from the bow cage by the side of the field.When Wei and Chen met the ceremony, they each chose their target positions and stood still.From everyone's point of view, Chen Jingtai is tall and big, Wei Chi is thin and weak, and the situation of victory and defeat seems to be settled.But there are also people who think that Master Wei is also a person who has kept the righteousness anyway, if he really has some ability, then the outcome is still unknown.

Chen Xing raised the veil slightly to look at the boy—it seemed the same as before a year ago, smiling, easy-going and open-minded, far from the change he expected.

Wei Chi, what kind of person are you?

The author has something to say: Poor Chen Xiaoshuai~~~ met the big villain Wei Chi...
