Chapter 097 – For others to be a wedding garment
Hundreds of Lingshu elite hussars escorted three carriages into Liangzhou City, the leader of the people is that Lingshu vice general Han Laoshan, after several riders to see their armor, but also now in the northern Liang can be said to be the power of the state of the real power of the lieutenant, which let the people along the way to witness the scene of the city are wondering, I do not know who or what is worth the military community of the Lingshu so much to raise a public army, all of a sudden on the “emptied! “A small half of the Lingshou general level military officials. Horse team, there is a ride seems to be particularly cranes, accurately said that there is a suspicion of chickens and cranes, in a large large horse Liang knife and iron armor and sharp spears, only this person is wearing a civil official uniform, he was the head of a carriage escort, glancing from time to time to the window, the eyes are quite self-satisfied, should be Xu Weixiong childhood half of the sentence, “both eyebrows hanging color! “He is the director of the Golden Witch Weaving Bureau. He is the hand of the Golden Witch Weaving Bureau Wang Luting, this time rushed to the Northern Liang Wang Fu, not weaving adults villainous, but the Zijin Wang’s young head of the family did do a pile of beautiful achievements, can afford to Lingshou Vice Admiral Han Laoshan for its saddle. Three carriage, did not shelve what gold and silver treasures, not what to Qingliangshan tribute auspicious, but three pieces of clothing.
After the master of the Golden Witch Weaving Bureau changed, Wang Luting on a mind to grasp this matter, in the other jurisdictions in the Liyang Dynasty territory map, weaving officer position is, in the final analysis, is nothing more than the rank of the secret agent, His Majesty’s ears and eyes inserted in the place, there is a secret folding of 500 miles of expedited direct to the Royal Secretariat of the privilege of the special privilege. Wang Luting is Li Xifeng after the old man returned to his hometown in Beiliang himself promoted the weaving official, and that the great talent of the Zhao family Prince of Heaven does not have half a penny of the relationship. Wang Luting in addition to closely monitor the power of the Lingshu Jianghu, especially the rise of the fish and dragon gang, but more or as a literally a veritable weaving official, do that sewing and mending clothes work.
The first carriage, sitting three women, the oldest woman is only thirty years old, the carriage put a small rosewood gilt box. The youngest woman’s physique graceful, outstanding posture, although wearing the Weaving Bureau customized ice dandy texture women’s uniforms, but the fine details everywhere visible thought, the face of thick and light appropriate fish winks, painting eyebrows with stone from the known as Lingshou women’s gold grottoes of the purchase of the fine women of Zai, the wrist tied a sign of good luck with more than a rock-shaped carved fish jade pendant, this woman at a glance know that comes from the family of a good family of officials and eunuchs gateway, the rest of the accessories are very few of the two women and its! Compared to the two women with few accessories, the difference is a hundred thousand miles. But this rich woman to that older woman weaving official always have a smile, but the woman surnamed Xu is the most difficult, of course, those tricks are under the table of the wrist, certainly will not cause the other people hate. The young woman also do not know why the small widow from a poor background so hostile, anyway, how to see all uncomfortable, probably that Xu family little lady’s breasts even more than their own “not peaceful”, perhaps she is obviously a countryside and a son of the crude woman, even more than their own in the Golden Witch Hazel Weaving Bureau but also by the attention of the men, like That weaving officer adults of a beloved Junyan, blind to this little woman at first sight, instilled with a bewitching soup, even the family has long been said to be a pair of family marriage also pushed, threatened to not that the Xu family mother does not marry, but also said that as long as the woman nodded his head, he is willing to marry, do not care about her past, and even her son as if he were a biological child. Not only is this white read twenty years of saintly book readers, Lingzhou, a thirty-year-old early will soon become a lieutenant of the military general, the future looks bright, the family guests are not county sheriffs or generals, what kind of good match can not be found, on which is also amazing, which makes the young women in the carriage can not help but resent the injustice of the world, that surnamed Xu’s vixen permeated through a stock of rustic gas, looks colorful to colorful, but also can not be counted on how stunning! The woman was not really a monster out of the forest, or else how could all those men be crazy about it?
She glanced at the woman who was slander for Xu Fox, and then smiled at the older woman and said: “Sister Song, when I was a child, I heard my father say that he had been to a trip to Qingliang Mountain, and at that time still followed the Liu County Sheriff hand in hand, is to participate in the celebration of the birthday banquet of our little king, my father also said, the great general also personally walked down the throne, and they drank a cup of green ants wine miles.”
The older woman laughed and agreed: “Zao’er, who knows that your father is a god of wealth in Lingshou, can go to the royal residence for a while, is also a thing of irony. Algae child your literary talent is good, this time with Lord Wang went to Qingliang Mountain, maybe by the king a glance in the eye, accidentally became the Wutong courtyard batch red female scholar, then don’t forget sister Song ah.”
The young woman nicknamed Zao’er covered her mouth and laughed: “I borrowed the sister’s good advice, the female scholar really dare not hope, Zao’er can be a small maid to the king is a great fortune.”
That uprooted into the weaving bureau of the little lady Xu Qing look shallow and light, on the side of the two women’s singing and not willing to interfere. In fact, she still don’t know how to be the government of Youzhou in their own women’s red embroidery, and other states and counties within the dozens of dexterous women and selected, ignorantly went to the small Jiangnan on the Seaside of the reputation of the rich Lingshou, she can only be explained as in the inverted horse pass home, free time to the official women of Youzhou sewing some small objects for the daughter’s personal objects, and only then have this inexplicable opportunity. In fact, she was initially reluctant to go to Lingshou, her son Right Song is still young, the family field is less, but also can not be delayed, the countryside has always been the same, less sweat, less harvest, God’s eyes are very poisonous na. But the village on the Rizheng adult sent word, said this is the Zhao family village great honor, as long as she went to Lingshou Weaving Bureau, the village not only exempted the right pine of the private school fees, but also asked the neighbors to help take care of her family’s crops, the right pine is able to live in the teacher there, which is a great good thing, even if so no worries, Xu Qing or asked the right pine, the child understands the situation, although the bottom of the heart of the love for his mother, but patted his chest and said it’s okay, mother to go to the village. He said it’s fine, mother went to Lingzhou is, he can take care of himself, and guaranteed that when mother came back, he could memorize the “three hundred thousand”.
Xu Xiaoniang thought of her own understanding child, her heart warmed up, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
That algae child squinted to see this woman’s mouth corner smile, the heart of hate, this Xu Fox looks just like that, but this kind of noiseless internal charm is the most able to seduce men’s hearts. She is not not want to learn, but always learn not, and finally can only be resentful to stop.
Algae child eyes for clean, a face of complacency with the flat appearance of the Song sister said: “Sister Song, pouring the efforts of the Weaving Bureau to create three python robe phoenix clothes, python robe is naturally for our king to wear, the remaining two think is for the two princesses to buy. My father and Lu family a big steward once with the table wine and talk about it, is the beginning of the year that moment, the steward privately said that their young lady may not be able to become the main consort, but a positive three side has been a long history of the rules of the Liyang Zong Fan, the Lu family, even if the young lady is not the main consort, but also the side consort in the first one, the spring Shenhu Wang’s family, have to be in the back of the queue. Sister Song, the words you have heard also heard, can not be told to the people, there will be big trouble.”
That older woman knows “the emperor’s family” thing again small, but also heavier than the people’s family of monstrous events, which dares to take this kind of secret things to chew the tongue, listen to a startled, this is still her subordinate Algae girl more and more respectful, thinking about the previous will occasionally in front of her to take the frame, this trip to the king’s house is not it should be with a little heart to The king’s residence trip should not use a little heart to make up for the past? Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau specifications and the Liyang Dynasty several major weaving bureau is roughly the same, three large workshop in addition to enjoin the silk machine room is virtually non-existent, the rest of the two places are the same, she such registration in the weaving bureau file of the official craftsmen and Xu Qing these recruited temporary households, a total of more than six hundred people, the loom is more than four hundred. Chief weaver Wang Luting is said to be the new Liang Wang in front of the big red man, she does not know whether it is true or not, but the local government offices in Lingzhou and the fish and dragons gang of the two sides of the big man, did not dare not to sell a few points of the face of Lord Wang, so that the weaving bureau of all affairs in Lingzhou, which makes her the small silk workshop of the officer also feel proud of her, and not like the past, Li Xifeng in charge of the weaving bureau as the father did not love the mother did not love, whoever was a head down.
The reason why she did not follow the algae child together with the exclusion of that foreign woman Xu Qing, is that she hides a secret in the bottom of her heart, she once saw from afar the weaver Wang Ta-Jen reprimanded others in a secluded place, we must know that the person who was scolded is holding half of the county’s military power of the lieutenant adults, that the reputation of a very good will be the seed of the children of the age of the king Ta-Jen a little older than the first would like to refute a few words, but I do not know what the king Ta-Jen said, she saw the The captain’s face changed dramatically. Usually walking like a wolf, she looked like a frosted eggplant and lost her soul when the lieutenant left. Since then, the lieutenant had never come to the Golden Witch Weaving Bureau to pester the little widow Xu Qing. She secretly guessed that the little woman Xu Qing either was weaving Wang Luting himself golden house to hide the lucky child, or a certain Lingshou behind the scenes of the forbidden domain of the great man, otherwise she really can not understand who has this heavenly ability, can make some of the countryside women of the border of Youzhou easily sent to the hot Lingshou Weaving Bureau, but also with a unique double salary, the key is that Xu Qing never know the truth, always thought that she and its The key is that Xu Qing never knew the truth, and always thought that she was treated in the same way as her female craftsmen.
Xu Qing, who was sitting upright, took advantage of the two women’s chat, secretly stretched out her fingers, fingertips gently crossed in the sandalwood box, she also entered the Weaving Bureau, only to know that some of the world’s wood, more valuable than human life, can be said to be an inch of two inches of gold.
She had never understood this world.
She thought that after completing her mission this time, she would have the guts to go and speak to the Chief Master Admiral of the Silk Workshop she was in and ask if she could take a leave of absence to make a trip home to check on her children and to see how the harvest was going in the crop fields.
Xu Qing had no reason to think of the clothes in the three boxes, it was really mind-boggling, the chief master adults in the completion of the king weaving to take credit said that according to that Jiangnan Weaving Bureau under normal circumstances of the process and manpower, not to mention the three, just that the king of Beiliang to put on the python robes, it would have to take three years, and may not be able to do a better job than the Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau. Xu Qing does not have any doubt about this, she personally involved in it, more than anyone knows the hardship, each process on dozens of people, from the master to the lowest artisan, almost everyone has to work more than eight hours a day, so the weaving bureau is brightly lit every night, her hand can not remember to be pierced hundreds of times. The python robe from the hand of the dragon painting everyone has nine drawings, each vivid, daunting, she has only seen the one that was picked out, do not dare to look at the python dragon with the painting, only to feel that it will be from the drawings on the call of the swallowing clouds. Xu Qing is one of the many picking flower craftsman, this python robe is the most rare in the cloud brocade makeup flowers, unprecedented to reach 1,800 picking the appalling number of flowers, and even if you pick the wrong one, it will be a failure, to start again, previously famous female craftsman with Xu Qing relationship is good, because of picking the wrong one, almost instantly on the spot when the news rushed to the king of the weavers on the spot to death, Xu Qing at that time regardless of the plea for her, just as much as humanly possible to listen to God’s will, I did not think that the female craftsman unexpectedly escaped, but also lost the identity of the official craftsman, was expelled from the Witch Hazel Weaving Bureau.
Three pieces of clothing, dexterous Xu Qing was fortunate to make an exception to help pick flowers, especially the black background embroidered gold python robe, gold python eighteen, after the formation, that is really rare in the world of honor. It is Xu Qing such self-confessed ignorance of the village woman, also dare to say that in addition to the Emperor’s majesty sitting on the dragon chair in Tai’an City, there is no more under the sky of the emperor’s python robe can be comparable to it.
As for those two future Northern Liang Wangfei’s “wedding clothes”, Xu Qing didn’t have too many feelings, and never looked at them like Zao’er who would be swayed by a single glance, obsessively thinking about how good it would be if she wore them.
This team of horses drove straight to the foot of Qingliang Mountain, Wang Luting as a relief, the Weaving Bureau accompanied by more than twenty people, but not everyone has that luck can step into the Royal Palace of insight. Three carriages, three boxes, three pieces of clothing, each car has three female craftsmen guarding the rosewood box, Wang Luting has long been a good intention, each car can only have a woman for the king of Beiliang and Lu Wang two families of the two future princess “try on”, that python gown is undoubtedly the most important, that is called Stuart Huazao’s craftsmen, her father used countless human faces And the whole six thousand taels of silver before begging to a total master there, Wang Luting mouth cold smile, with this want to give the king of Beiliang clothes?
Wang Luting dismounted, opened the name of the last two by who is responsible for holding the box into the house, was ordered in the two women are excited immediately in tears, their family history is clean, good-looking, nature are always honest and honest, never long full of heart eyes will do that snake to add hooks in the city of women, Wang Luting is very assured of them. Then the first carriage side, Wang Luting the weaving adult full of deep meaning to look at the unknown Xu Qing, stretched out his hand and pointed to her, and then did not say anything more. Xu Qing was stagnant on the spot, she had always thought that it was Situ Huazao, the proud daughter of heaven, who was going to try on the clothes for the young Beilang King, but she had never thought that it would be herself, and for a while she was at a loss for words. Wang Luting frowned, if it was someone else, he would have been furious, but since it was her, Wang Luting had an unprecedented amount of patience, gently glancing at Xu Qing and stopping to wait for her.
The reason for this is that Wang Luting knows a little more, this little widow’s origin is very simple, but single-handedly sent her into his Wang Luting turf of the man behind the scenes, that is, he is a handful of gold stranded weaving Wang Luting, but also can not afford to mess with!
You state general Huangfu scale!
This master that is really called the Northern Liang King’s beloved ah.
He Wang Luting compared to the North Liang famous big ruthless man, whether it is the fire of the public cultivation or the degree of ruthlessness, are inferior.
Wang Luting always thought that the rouge county inverted horse pass small woman, is Huangfu scale woman.
That is why he has always gone out of his way to pinch his nose and treat her with respect.
Wang Luting naturally did not know that the Youzhou General saw the little widow, that is not dare to have the slightest modesty.
Xu Qing hard-headed, holding that not heavy rosewood box, muddle-headed follow the crowd together into the royal residence.
Along the way, Xu Qing forgot to take a look at the world-famous Hearing Tide Lake. In the past in the Weaving Bureau, often people talk about that lake, will be full of longing, with hearsay words, extremely exaggerated to depict the tide of listening to the lake in the scene of 10,000 carp rolling.
Wang Luting slowly climbed the mountain, first delivering the two boxes to the entrance of the two elegant and quiet courtyards.
The last is led by the big housekeeper towards a higher and extremely inconspicuous courtyard.
It was not the Wutong Courtyard.
It was actually the residence of the old Liang Wang Xu Snapdragon!
Even the tough-minded Wang Luting was taken aback.
Wang Luting let out a long breath and whispered, “Xu Qing, do things more eloquently and naturally, if you’re really nervous, I can let you stay outside the courtyard for a few more moments, wait until your hands and feet aren’t stiff before going in.”
Xu Qing’s face turned white, holding the box, was weaving adults so say, more and more trembling, vaguely have to cry signs.
The one inside was the King of Northern Liang! In her life, even the magistrate such a big official have not seen once, she can not be nervous?
Wang Luting looked at her uneasiness, some chagrin, I should have known that should let Situ Huazao this woman to hold the box, at least the woman ambition is not small, the courage is not small, certainly not so timid. As for her a little restlessness, in this has father and son two Liyang dynasty king of different surnames in the royal residence, count for what?
Lead the way of the king’s housekeeper is still smiling, not even half a point to voice the intention of urging, but Wang Luting familiar with the human condition, know very well, he was this Xu Qing dragged down miserable, he is the gold weaving bureau in the future if you want to enter the Qingliang Mountain, unless the king of the northern Liang summoned, or I am afraid it is as difficult as heaven.
Since the big housekeeper will not go with the woman catty what, but in the heart of this deservedly big man of Beiliang, is really as Wang Luting expected, Wang Luting’s Zijin Wang’s as well as the entire Golden Wisps Weaving Bureau, there are some bad feelings.
Wang Luting looked at that Xu Qing did not reduce but increased panic, heart lamented.
The head butler narrowed his eyes and glanced at the young weaver, then turned his head to the woman and smiled warmly: “Girl, it’s okay, our king is the world’s top good guy, don’t worry to go in, it doesn’t matter if you’ve done something wrong. Why don’t we make a bet? If the king says a word to you, I’ll give you ten taels of silver when you come out, and if the king is really as good as I say, ten thousand good words, you’ll have to give me ten taels of silver, how about it?”
Xu Qing finally relaxed a bit, biting her lip and nodding her head, no longer so hands and feet not knowing where to put them.
The big housekeeper smiled faintly and helped push open the courtyard door, waiting for her to cross the threshold before gently covering it up.
Then, Xu Qing saw a young back figure standing alone under a loquat tree that was still green in the fall.
The loquat tree was alone, and so was he.
Xu Qing froze for a moment, blinking her eyes, thinking that she had blinked, and after blinking hard, she still found it unbelievable.
His figure, how did he look so much like that male gentleman who had passed through the Inverted Horse Pass twice?
The man turned around, and Xu Qing was immediately relieved, but when she saw his eyes, she was on edge again.
The resemblance wasn’t a person, but the eyes and gaze were too similar.
Xu Qing’s entire being was confused.
Knowing full well that the unattainable young feudal lord in front of her was not destined to be that person, but she thought of that person very untimely at this moment and really missed him.
Xiao Niang Xu Qing knew she shouldn’t be like this, but she just was.
Xu Fengyen actually froze for a moment, but quickly figured out the reason for this, and the nail in the coffin was Huangfu Scale’s redundancy. But with things having come to this, he didn’t want to say anything more.
Walked to her, took the box, said blandly: ”This king himself to dress on the line, you wait in the courtyard is, one incense burns after leaving, with the door outside the Wang Luting said, this king said, python robe is good. Also, tell him not to rush out of the king’s mansion just yet.”
Xu Qing nodded blankly, not sure if he listened in.
Xu Fengnian turned around and smiled.
As he walked up the steps, a timid but already surely the woman’s most daring shout in her life suddenly came from behind, “Mr. Xu?”
He did not stop walking.
Her face reddened, and she was even more sweaty, a few strands of hair from her temples sticking to her cheeks as she lifted her arm and secretly wiped it away.
She smiled happily, it wasn’t him.
It’s good that it’s not.
If it’s not, maybe we’ll see each other again.
She still owed him money.
He said it was fifteen hundred taels of silver, and he wanted her to pay it back for fifty years.
She herself is not willing to admit, agreed to go to the Golden Witch Weaving Bureau, is to hear him say that he is Lingzhou traveling scholar.
Inside the room, the light was a bit dim, Xu Fengyen put on the python robe that was obviously usurping dynastic etiquette.
It fit well.
As when Xu Snap put on his one.
