1406. Chapter 1406 Zhongxing Mansion
The cold wind is biting, the water condenses into ice, and the trees on the roadside are covered with ice, creating a unique and refreshing scenery.
It had been several days since their carriage left the royal capital. Due to the weather and the fact that they were carrying children, their speed was not very fast. Although they pretended to be merchants, they did not look like merchants in a hurry, but rather like they were enjoying the scenery along the way. of tourists.
In order not to attract attention, Mo Rongzhan did not let too many people follow him, but asked them to hide in the dark. The only ones accompanying him were Tang Zhen and Shen Yi.
"Master, the front is Zhongxing Mansion. If we don't stay in front, we may not be able to find the inn before dark." Tang Zhen came over on horseback and said to Murong Zhan across the carriage.
"Then settle down in Zhongxing Mansion." Morong Zhan said. Anyway, he won't arrive at Mesha Port so soon. He didn't have time to come to Yuan Kingdom before. Now Ye Zhen is the concubine of Yuan Kingdom, so he can take her to know him better. What is the country like?
Ye Zhen heard Tang Zhen's voice outside and asked Murong Zhan in a low voice, "Have you been to Zhongxing Mansion?"
Why does it look so familiar?
"I've never been there. But I've heard of it," Mo Rongzhan said.
Zhongxing Mansion is a very prosperous place, and Luoshui Pavilion is right there, so there are still a lot of people coming and going.
Ye Zhen said, "Why does Luoshui Pavilion only accept women?"
Mo Rongzhan explained, "I heard that the head of Luoshui Pavilion was abandoned by her husband. She founded Luoshui Pavilion out of sadness. All the apprentices she accepted had suffered some kind of hardship or had completely given up on the man. Anyone who entered Luoshui Pavilion would No one from the Water Pavilion can marry a man."
"Is there such a sect?" Ye Zhen couldn't help but laugh.
"This kind of sect will only add hatred and despair to people, and is not helping those women." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Fortunately, you didn't know there was such a place before."
Ye Zhen smiled softly in his arms, "Even if I knew, I wouldn't go. What if I can't get married? At that time, I just wanted to stay away from me and find someone who was good to me to get married and have children. , live an ordinary and stable life.”
Murong Zhan had seen the injustice she suffered and knew why she had such thoughts. Fortunately, he met her early and did not let other men have the opportunity to get her before him.
"By the way, is Tang Zhen getting married?" Ye Zhen recalled that she almost got engaged to Tang Zhen. Now that she thinks about the past, she always feels a little guilty towards Tang Zhen.
"I want to give him a marriage, but he doesn't want it." Murong Zhan said with a frown.
He remembered that if he hadn't known that the old lady of the Lu family intended to betroth Yaoyao to Tang Zhen, and he hadn't been in a hurry to express his feelings, wouldn't Tang Zhen have forgotten Yaoyao over the years?
Ye Zhen said, "You always keep him by your side to do things. How can he have time to think about his own marriage? There are no elders in Brother Tang's family, so who will arrange life-long affairs for him."
"I think he will soon have someone who can arrange life-long affairs. When the time comes, you will be in charge of him and choose a well-matched girl for him. I will grant him a marriage." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile.
This seems to be a good idea, but we have to wait until we return to Kyoto.
Before dark, they arrived at Zhongxing Mansion.
The night ban here is not as strict as in the capital city. The city gate is still open, and the lights are starting to light up everywhere, reflecting the ice on the branches under the eaves. It is a unique scene of ice and snow. Mingxi and Mingyu are wrapped like small balls. After riding in the carriage for a few days, the two of them began to feel impatient. Mingxi could still hold on, but Mingyu was already a little impatient, especially since he was already sleepy, his eyes could hardly be opened, and his whole body exuded worry. of impatience.
"Princess, I will carry you out of the car." Hongying reached out to hug her.
Mingyu stamped her feet, "No, no, no, I want a hug from my father."
When Mo Rongzhan heard Mingyu's coquettish voice, he immediately felt soft and walked over, "What's wrong with Mingyu?"
"I haven't seen my father for a day. Mingyu misses his father." Mingyu threw herself into Mo Rongzhan's arms, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Father, hold me." Mo Rongzhan's heart was so soft that he could cry. He held Mingyu in his arms, and the smile on his lips spread to his eyes.
She is almost becoming a slave to her daughter! Ye Zhen rolled her eyes in her mind, walked over and pinched Mingyu's cheek, "You're too busy playing to take a nap, right?"
"I think my father can't sleep because of his thoughts." Mingyu lay on Mo Rongzhan's shoulder, almost unable to open his eyes.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh, it turns out I just miss my father."
Mingyu immediately raised his head and rubbed his eyes, "Mingyu also misses mother. She likes mother the most. Mother, I want to kiss her."
The people around were amused by Mingyu's dog-legged appearance.
"Don't fall asleep. Eat something before going to bed later." Ye Zhen kissed her cheek lovingly, her fragrant and soft little face really made people want to take a few bites.
"Go in." Mo Rongzhan patted Mingyu's head and turned to look at Mingxi, "Mingxi, are you tired?"
"You're not tired, Father." Mingxi held Yan Xiaoliu's hand, her eyes almost narrowed into a thin line.
Tang Zhen thought it was funny, so he walked over and hugged him, "I'll hold you, young master."
Mingxi actually wanted to leave by himself, but he didn't sleep all day. He was so sleepy that he lay on Tang Zhen's shoulder and didn't want to move.
A group of people entered the inn and found that there were many people inside. They did not look like merchants. It was probably because Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen's appearance were too outstanding. When they saw them coming in, many people looked at them sideways. Before Ye Zhen, He also stared at his face carefully for a few times.
Not polite at all, rude to the point of frowning.
The temperature in Mo Rongzhan's eyes instantly dropped a few degrees, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.
Those people probably felt that Mo Rongzhan's eyes were too sharp, so they withdrew their gaze and stopped staring at them.
"Objectively, are you eating or dining?" Seeing that Mo Rongzhan and the others were well-dressed, the shopkeeper came up to them with a smile on his face.
Shen Yi asked, "We want to stay in a hotel, do you have a room here?"
"We only have three first-class guest rooms left here. I wonder if you are willing to make do with them?" the shopkeeper said with a smile. Their inn is the best in Zhongxing Mansion, and the price of accommodation is naturally expensive. A first-class guest room can be purchased in one night. It costs dozens of taels, but not many people can afford it. There are only rooms for lunch, and now there are three.
"Then lead the way." Shen Yi said, there were not many of them, and they had to stay on duty at night. If they could take turns to rest, three rooms would be enough.
The shopkeeper immediately took them upstairs in person. He knew at first glance that these people were from a good background, and were different from those people who only knew how to wield swords and guns.
Murong Zhan held Mingyu in one hand and held Ye Zhen's hand in the other, and whispered to Shen Yi, "Be careful at night."
"Yes." Shen Yi responded in a low voice.
