Chapter 561: Wu Lang Came and I Felt Relieved [Thank You! Goodbye! I Owe 43k More]

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month,

Lantern Festival,

The first hour of Mao (five in the morning)

Quyuan Street,

Yongyi Hou Mansion,

"Click."

The sound of twitching the wooden latch sounded.

Xu Zaijing opened the door and walked out.

Just by the lanterns carried by the grass behind him, Xu Zaijing looked at the slowly flowing fog in front of him and said, "Oh, it's foggy!"

"Young Master, this fog is so big!" Qingcao echoed behind.

"Yeah, let's go."

"Mama Xia, close the door." Qingcao turned around and instructed.

"Why."

The master and servant walked out of the courtyard.

The door behind her was closed by Mama Xia.

Just as the grass said, the fog is very heavy today, and the fog flows around the two of them like ink.

Although I was carrying a lantern, it was still dark around me. The distance that the lantern light could reach was very close, and I couldn't see clearly what it looked like two steps away.

Looking and feeling the darkness around her, Qingcao knew that this was the Marquis' Mansion and there would be nothing scary to come out, but she still leaned towards her young master.

On the road, you can also see the ground and grape trellis in the yard. It has been infected by fog, and there is thin white frost in many places.

Xu Zaijing and Qingcao walked out along the road in the yard. After a while out of the yard, they felt their faces wet.

Xu Zaijing took a deep breath. The smell of the foggy day seemed to be the same whether it was here or before.

After leaving the aisle, I walked along the side of the racetrack with thin frost, which turned into a wet wooden railing for a while.

It was obvious that it was still dark just now, but a few steps later, the lantern under the eaves of the wooden roof suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Xu Zaijing and Qingyun practice martial arts and exercise their bodies as before.

At the end, the two of them had white frost on their eyebrows and hair, and the armor they were wearing was stained with a lot of water vapor in the fog, which felt a little wet.

At this time, because of the fog, the sky became much darker than usual.

Next to the wooden house,

Qingyun helped Xu Zaijing unarmed her armor with the light of the lantern, while looking at the direction outside the mansion, saying, "Young Master, look, it's quite lively outside this morning."

Xu Zaijing moved his ears and listened to the vague noises coming through the fog, saying, "Today is also the Lantern Festival, and I let it go again, so it's natural to be lively."

Qingyun put the arm on Xu Zaijing's forearm aside and smiled, "Then today, Alan is going to make a big splash again."

The green grass beside her nodded with bright eyes.

Xu Zaijing smiled.

After breakfast, Xu Zaijing returned to his yard.

At the right time (8 o'clock in the morning),

The thick morning fog, under the rising sun, has turned into mist and the sky has become much brighter.

In the study room,

Xu Zaijing stood by the desk, grinding ink while brewing, preparing to make another article in the morning.

The paper was spread on the table, pressed with paperweight, and the brush also sucked ink in the inkstone.

Xu Zaijing pressed the brush in his hand against the inkstone. Just as he was about to start writing, footsteps came from outside the study.

After sighing helplessly, Xu Zaijing looked at the door of the study and said, "What's wrong?"

The study door was opened, and the mother Zhu next to Sun looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Wurang, our relative Lu family, sent a nanny here and said, "Mr. Lu misses you, and she cried and made a fuss to invite you. Let's go to the Lu family! Let's go to the palace to enjoy the lanterns in the afternoon."

Xu Zaijing looked at the blank paper in front of him, prepared the brush, sighed softly, nodded, "I know Mom Zhu, I'll go there now."

"well!"

After a smile, Mother Zhu closed the study door.

Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head, put the brush in his hand into the brush and washed it.

South Lecture Hall Lane,

A precious carriage drove out of the alley, turned south, and entered the bustling street.

"Give it a minute!"

A knight shouted, causing the people in the carriage to lift the curtains.

The female envoy looked at the person riding a horse from the other side, quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at her girl.

Rong Feiyan, who was sitting in the middle, followed the gap opened by the female envoy, and also saw Xu Zaijing riding a horse clearly.

"Girl, it's Brother Xu'er and Brother Qingyun beside him!" Xibu said softly.

Rong Feiyan nodded, her eyes moved with Xu Zaijing's figure.

When Xu Zaijing's figure disappeared by the window, Rong Feiyan said, "What is he going to do? Didn't he say he wants to enter the palace to enjoy the lanterns?"

"Girl, look at the direction where Brother Xu is going, most likely he is going to Duke Lian's mansion." Xiaobu lowered the curtain and said.

Rong Feiyan nodded and Ningxiang, who was sitting opposite the stroll, said, "Miss, it's such a coincidence that she could actually meet Brother Xu here. We will go out a while ago or later, but we won't see it."

Hearing this, Rong Feiyan's mouth raised slightly, she looked at Ningxiang with admiration and laughed.

With the bustling noise outside the car, the Rong family carriage came to the teahouse on the side of Panlou Main Street.

Near the teahouse, a carriage had been parked, and a healthy woman was standing at the door of the first floor of the teahouse.

With the help of the slightest step, Rong Feiyan got off the carriage, raised her chin and looked around, and then walked into the building.

Go up to the second floor,

Looking at Rong Feiyan walking towards him, Xiaotao, Magpie and Yunzhai standing at the door of the private room, he quickly lowered his head and gave a blessing.

Rong Feiyan smiled and nodded slightly, and entered the big private room.

Recently, when he was in the Feng family, Rong Feiyan met the fifth girl of the Sheng family Ru Lan, but she hadn't seen Mo Lan and Minglan for a while.

Molan is older and has not changed much in appearance.

Minglan is different. The girl who was a little fat in Rong Feiyan's memory, today she looked much taller, and her baby fat had disappeared almost the same. Her skin color and appearance were very eye-catching among the sisters.

Looking at Rong Feiyan entering the door, the three Lans quickly gave a blessing and said in unison: "I have seen Miss Feiyan."

Rong Feiyan walked over with a smile and said, "Did you come so early?"

Huihefang,

Near the Duke of Lian Guo’s Mansion,

Xu Zaijing slowed down the speed of Li Ju, turned his head and said, "Qingyun, do you feel something is wrong?"

Qingyun looked around and replied, "Young Master, I always feel that someone is looking at us."

Xu Zaijing nodded gently and looked around.

Soon, Xu Zaijing's eyes narrowed and he said, "Look, the pawn of the Imperial City Department."

Qingyun looked at the passerby who nodded to him by the roadside and said, "It's true! What are they doing in Huihefang?"

Xu Zaijing's eyes were thoughtful and he didn't say anything.

Come to the gate of Lu's family,

Seeing Xu Zaijing, the Lu family's doorman smiled and bowed, "I've seen the fifth young master."

Xu Zaijing nodded and greeted, turned over and dismounted, and said, "What distinguished guest is here at home?"

The Lu family concierge thought about it and focused on it.

Leaving the reins to Qingyun, Xu Zaijing stepped into the Lu family yard.

It's okay near the gate.

As Xu Zaijing got closer and closer to the second gate, he found that the atmosphere of the Lu family was completely different from the times he had visited before.

Along the way, he rarely saw the female envoy passing by in the yard.

When Xu Zaijing entered the second gate, he had some guesses in his mind as he looked at He Guan and Cao Yi standing in the second gate.

"Goro."

He Guan and Cao Yi bowed and shouted.

Xu Zaijing bowed his hand and looked at the yard, saying, "Brother Cao, Brother He, is Your Highness in the yard?"

The two looked at each other and nodded, "Yes!"

Xu Zaijing said in confusion: "What is your Highness going to do?"

"In the morning, Your Highness begged the Queen and come to the palace to have fun today." He Guan replied.

Cao Yi looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Wuron, you have experience in this matter. When we see you coming, we feel more at ease!"

Xu Zaijing smiled and reached out and said, "Two brothers, let's go in."

After passing through the door and passing through the corridor, there were more and more guards inside.

Come outside the main hall of the backyard,

The close mother, who was standing outside the door, saw Xu Zaijing and the other two, hurriedly shouted, "The Wulang of Xu is here."

Xu Zaijing lowered his head and walked through the brocade cotton curtain and entered the Lu family hall.

Looking at the people sitting in the room, Xu Zaijing bowed and said, "I have met Your Highness, Duke! Old Lady Ci'an, the eldest lady is dressed up."

Lu Zezong stood up and smiled and said, "Brother Yes."

Zhao Fang smiled and nodded, "Brother Jing, you are here. Sit down!"

Xu Zaijing nodded with a smile: "Thank you Your Highness."

As he said that, Xu Zaijing sat next to Lu Zezong and looked at Zhao Fang and said, "Your Highness, how did you leave the palace?"

Zhao Fang urged Duke Lian and said, "I came out in the old Duke's carriage in the morning! With the promise of my father and mother, let's go to the imperial street today."

"I always feel less when I stand on the palace city and look out!"

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Xu Zaijing nodded with a smile. Seeing Lu Zezong's biological mother, Li, coming over with a teacup, he hurriedly got up and took it.

After sitting back, Xu Zaijing looked at Zhao Fang's outfit and said, "Your Highness's outfit is suitable."

Zhao Fang smiled proudly and said, "Brother Jing, when we go out, I will put on my ears and a scarf to cover my face. How about it?"

"Your Highness is thoughtful."

Duke Lian looked at Xu Zaijing and Zhao Fang who were talking. In the gap, the old country said justice: "Brother Jing, although Bianjing is the best place in the world, you should pay more attention to safety when traveling outside."

Xu Zaijing hurriedly bowed and replied, "Yes, Duke, I'm here to save my life."

Duke Lian nodded with a smile, looked at his grandson Lu Zezong, and said, "Zong'er, then you can go and play with Your Highness and your righteous brother. Your Highness will go back early, and your Majesty and the Empress are concerned about you. .”

Zhao Fang stood up with a smile: "What the Duke of the State said."

Seeing Zhao Fang stand up, the others in the hall stand up one after another.

Zhao Fang bowed and smiled, "Then I will say goodbye, Duke, old lady, and eldest lady, there is no need to come out to see him off."

After saying that, Zhao Fang and Lu Zezong said, "Brother Zong, let's go."

Xu Zaijing said from the side, "Your Highness, wait a moment, let's go to the next warmhouse first."

Zhao Fang was stunned: "Ah? Brother Jing, why should we go to the warm room?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "I understand when I get to your highness."

"Oh!" Zhao Fang nodded with a smile.

Xu Zaijing turned his head to look at Lu Zezong again and pointed to his clothes.

Lu Zezong understood, nodded and walked elsewhere.

soon,

Xu Zaijing took the prince Zhao Fang to the warm pavilion on the side of the hall.

"Your Highness, please take off your clothes."

Hearing this, Zhao Fang was stunned.

But seeing that Xu Zaijing had already started to unbutton his belt, Zhao Fang also began to move.

After a while, Zhao Fang saw what was under Xu Zaijing's clothes and understood why he had to take off his clothes.

Xu Zaijing took off his finely textured waistcoat and put it on Zhao Fang.

Feeling the weight of the waistcoat, Zhao Fang said, "Brother Jing, don't do that. This is not the first time I've left the palace."

Xu Zaijing shook his head, "Be prepared."

Because Xu Zaijing was much taller than Zhao Fang, the waistcoat was a little too big for Zhao Fang.

Xu Zaijing folded the extra space on the waistcoat and tied it with a silk ribbon to stop it from swinging.

"How does it feel, Your Highness?"

Zhao Fang twisted his body, stretched out his hand, and said, "It feels a bit heavy, but it's okay. Jing'er, what is this made of?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "Your Highness, please pinch it."

Zhao Fang followed his words and pinched Xu Zaijing's waistcoat. After feeling the hardness of his fingertips, he was surprised and said, "Wow! Jing'er, is this compacted cotton on the outside? Is it iron inside!?"

Xu Zaijing nodded and helped Zhao Fang put on other clothes again.

In winter, clothes are already thick, and it is hard to tell that Zhao Fang is wearing a waistcoat inside.

"Jing'er, what are you going to do?" Zhao Fang asked with concern.

Xu Zaijing, who was getting dressed, opened his coat and showed his clothes to Zhao Fang, saying, "Your Highness, try poking it."

Zhao Fang reached out and poked at Xu Zaijing's clothes, wondering, "Brother Jing, are you wearing a chain mail underneath?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, saying, "Your Highness is right."

Zhao Fang nodded, "Then I'm relieved."

At this time, Lu Zezong also returned to Xu Zaijing.

Zhao Fang looked at Lu Zezong curiously and said, "Brother Zong, are you wearing a waistcoat too?"

Lu Zezong smiled and nodded.

Xu Zaijing said, "Zong'er's vest is too small for Your Highness to wear."

Zhao Fang nodded, looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Jing'er, today is much more troublesome than the last time we went out for a drink."

Xu Zaijing stretched out his hand, "Your Highness, please."

Everyone walked out, and Xu Zaijing said, "Your Highness, that time was in a restaurant, and they were all soldiers from our Great Zhou, so it was naturally much safer."

"Today on the street, there are many people around, so it's better to be safer."

Zhao Fang smiled and nodded, "Jing'er, with you here, it's the greatest safety."

Lu Zezong on the side nodded repeatedly with full of agreement.

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness and Zong'er for your compliments."

"Hehe."

"Hehe."

Zhao Fang and Lu Zezong both laughed.

As they talked,

Xu Zaijing and others took He Guancao Yi and the scattered imperial city officials and rode or took a car to the outside of Huihefang.

Panlou Main Street,

On the second floor of the teahouse at the street corner,

Three Lans sat on the embroidered cushions, looking around and listening to the noble ladies in the private rooms talking about poetry, tea art, flower arrangement, incense burning, and hanging paintings.

Poetry and flower arrangement were easier to talk about, and Molan could at least say a few words.

Minglan also understood incense burning and tea art, but she only listened and didn't speak.

Rulan sighed a little bored, and looked at Molan who was standing up and started talking about poetry and calligraphy. She picked up the snacks on the table and ate them angrily.

After a while,

Hai Chaoyun said with admiration in his eyes: "What Fourth Miss Sheng said about calligraphy is very reasonable! Then, why don't you show us your skills?"

As he spoke,

the maids of the Rong and Hai families began to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Molan looked at the others a little embarrassedly, and seeing the admiring looks in the eyes of the noble ladies, she bowed and said: "Then Molan would rather obey your orders! If I make a fool of myself, please don't laugh at me."

Rong Feiyan raised her chin slightly and smiled: "Of course not."

So, Molan walked to the table, brewed for a while, and splashed ink.

Hai Chaoyun and Li Jiawu Niang, who were standing next to Molan, looked at the few words written by Molan, and their eyes instantly showed admiration.

At this time,

Xu Zaijing's eldest sister Xie's natal sister, who was invited by Rong Feiyan, and the close mother of Xie Rui, the third sister of Xie, came upstairs.

The mother stood beside Xie Rui and whispered, "Girl, I saw our relative Xu's Wulang walking towards this side. What do you think?"

Xie Rui stood up immediately and said, "Since you saw him, there is no need to say hello. Let's go downstairs and take a look."

Yunmu, Chai Zhengzheng's personal maid, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation and quietly walked to Chai Zhengzheng who was reading Mo Lan's calligraphy not far away and whispered a few words.

So, Chai Zhengzheng immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked downstairs.
