Chapter 72
The morning light is first dewed, and the sun shines between the courtyards, and the dewdrops on the branches and leaves reflect a crystal clear light.
Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged on the tea bed all night, and heard a sound outside the window. He stopped his energy and calmed down, got up and walked out of the door.
In the courtyard that was not trimmed, there were a little green weeds growing. The birds squatted on the steps and chirped with the sparrows on the wall. The black fluff on the body had been trimmed off by Tang Jingyan. They looked a little white, but they had also lost a whole circle.
A clothesline was pulled up in the courtyard, and Tang Jingyun was cold clothes beside her, her white tofu-like face facing the sun, while humming a small folk tune while putting on her clothes. From the side, she looked like a jasper in a family who was well-mannered.
Zuo Lingquan felt relieved when he saw Tang Jingyan coming out of last night's blow. He walked up to him and looked at the wooden basin. However, he saw that Jiang Yi had washed all the dresses he had changed. He praised:
"Sister Tang is so diligent. Get up so early to wash clothes."
Tang Jingyan put on her clothes and returned to her cheerful personality as before, quipped:
"Every day, I get up before dawn. I've been used to it. You think you are like you noble men, who can get up after the sun is burning. By the way, this is the princess' house, and I'm not good at giving money. I'm sorry to live there. I'll go to Linhefang later. If there is still a house that has not been burned, I'll go back to live."
Tang Jingwen took the family business of his father and had more than a dozen shops in Linhefang. However, a big fire yesterday, I am afraid there are not many that can be lived in.
Zuo Lingquan greeted Jiang Yi yesterday and shook his head and said, "Just live here. How could Your Highness the Princess care about this little thing? It's not too late to go back after Linhefang is packed."
Tang Jingyan smiled, thought for a while, and then said:
"Xiao Zuo, I feel that the princess is very good, but she has a little temper and...and she has an objection to me. She hit her sister on the butt yesterday, and it still hurts a little bit now. I guess she treats me as a fox. You have to explain it to the princess."
Zuo Lingquan spread his hands slightly: "I have explained it long ago. The princess has such a personality and looks fierce. In fact, she has a sharp mouth and a slander. She didn't come to visit you last night, so she won't make things difficult for you."
Tang Jingyan was active and saw that Jiang Yi was not here, and whispered:
"The princess is not familiar with me. She thought I had something to do with you, so she came to check my safety. This is the same as the back house of a wealthy family. Even if the eldest wife hates the master's favored concubine, if something really happens to her, she must not ignore it. Otherwise, if the master gets angry, he will not be able to make any good for him..."
Tang Jingyan said as she felt that the metaphor was not right, so she hurriedly said:
"Sister, let me give you an example, Xiao Zuo, don't take it seriously. Anyway, the princess is really good to you, you can't let Your Highness down."
"I understand. The princess doesn't think so much, Sister Tang doesn't think about it."
"How can I not think about it? You don't know that the slap is so fierce, just like a big wife who teaches her a lesson. I haven't been beaten yet..."
...
The two chatted for a while. After Tang Jingyan packed up her dress, she walked out of the house with Zuo Lingquan and headed to the nearby Linhefang.
Yesterday, a fire came and went quickly. Most of the buildings in Linhefang and its surrounding areas were damaged, but no major casualties occurred. The people in the streets and alleys were packing their things, but all the shops were not open, and the docks were still in and out of the ships as usual.
Tang Jingwen walked all the way to the small street by the river, looked up at the blackened walls of the wine shop, and felt a little sad again on his face:
"I just repaired it at the end of the year. Now it's great. I don't know if I won't repair it."
She wanted to open the door, but she never thought that with a touch of her hand, the door would fall into the hall of the restaurant.
Zuo Lingquan leaned over and looked at it. The winery was in a mess. A hole appeared on the roof. The ground was covered with water stains, and it was a mess.
"Oh~"
Tang Jingwen lived here for many years, and even lived alone, she had feelings for her. She wanted to go in and check it out, but she was worried that the house would collapse. In the end, she just stood at the door and looked at it for a while, then turned around to look at the neighbors' situation.
Zuo Lingquan was only familiar with Tang Jingyan, and did not go to courteously, but just stood on the street and waited. Before Tang Jingyan finished talking to his neighbors, the sound of horseshoes and wheels, as well as familiar voices, came from the street:
"Oh~ This is Ling Quan's beloved shop, why is it burned like this..."
Zuo Lingquan turned his head and saw a carriage with a wooden sign with the left-hand character hanging from the street. Zuo Yunting dressed as a knight with a sword on his back and sat outside the carriage looking at the restaurant; Lao Lu was driving next to him with a horse whip in his hand.
Judging from the appearance, the two of them were preparing to travel far. Zuo Lingquan was a little confused and walked up to him and waved:
"Old Lu, Fifth Brother, are you guys?"
"Ouch, Lingquan!"
Zuo Yunting smiled when he heard the sound, jumped out of the carriage and ran to him, saying with a little excitement:
"You are here, I'm just about to find you. Lao Lu has been in the capital for enough time and wants to follow the team in Qihuang Valley to go to the Jingtai terrace. I'll send him a trip. Don't you want to cultivate immortals? Let's take you to open your eyes."
Zuo Lingquan's eyes were unexpectedly exposed, and he grabbed Zuo Yunting:
"It's thousands of miles to go to Jingtai. I'll walk for at least a few months. Brother Wu, you're afraid..."
Zuo Yunting waved his hand: "Oh~ Young people can't read thousands of books, and they have to travel thousands of miles. I'm just waiting for death in the capital. It's better to go out for a walk. I said hello to my family, but my father couldn't tell me, so he agreed and gave me money. Do you want to go together?"
Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan stopped stopping: "Just say hello to me. I have to wait to get married to the princess. I can't go for the time being." He blinked his eyes and looked at Lao Lu in the carriage: "Why is Mr. Lu going to leave suddenly? Yesterday I saw you in Qihuang Valley, but I didn't have time to go over and say hello."
Old Lu still dressed up like the past, but his dull complexion was slightly better than before. He leaned against the carriage and smiled hoarsely:
"While you can still move, go out for a walk; Qihuang Valley sends people to Jingtai, and just follow you and the road is more stable."
Zuo Lingquan thought about it and felt that it was. He came to the front and raised his hand to bow;
"I just got into trouble in Linhefang and couldn't send it too far. Please forgive Mr. Lu. If you have the chance in the future, come to Dadan more often. Although this place is a little smaller than outside, its beautiful mountains and rivers are not much worse than outside."
"I'll definitely come if I have a chance."
Old Lu nodded slightly, but the world is too big, Zuo Lingquan will leave in the future. No one can tell whether he will meet again after parting here.
Old Lu hesitated and said, "I am old and talk a lot. Before leaving, I will be the elder. I warn you: One way to practice is to cultivate your mind, and the most important thing is to cultivate your strength. You kid was in Qihuang Valley yesterday and you will definitely have a great future in the future, but you must keep your original heart. The colorful world outside is more exciting than you imagined, and the blessings and dangers are hard to understand. If you can't keep this mind, once you take a wrong step, your life will be over."
Zuo Lingquan nodded and smiled: "I will definitely remember it in my heart."
"Also, there are all the experts who can understand the world outside. You should be a little bit more like that. You want to understand the truth that it is easy to break even if you want to."
"Old Lu doesn't have to worry, my younger generation has always been steady."
I'm gonna be!
Old Lu opened his mouth and knew that these things were useless to say, so he didn't say much. He raised his whip and whipped off the horse's back, heading to the other end of the street: "I'll see you again if you're destined to do it."
Zuo Lingquan bowed his hand and went to the city gate with Zuo Yunting. While saying goodbye, he also reminded the carefree fifth brother.
Tang Jingwen, who was standing on the street, also found the carriage and nodded slightly and bowed.
Lao Lu turned his head to look at Tang Jingwen. In his deep eyes, he was as confused as he had just arrived in Linhefang.
