Chapter 59 Qin Jun Invited, Declined
Chapter 59 Qin Jun Invited, Declined
The group of people followed to the bank of the Jing River. This year, there will be enough spring rains, and the crops will be lush and green. If there are no natural disasters, it should be a bumper harvest.
Qin Su watched along the way, as if he only cared about the scenery and didn't care about other things, and didn't even bother to glance at the people passing by.
Seeing Qin Su's behavior, the governor of Jiangnan felt more at ease. As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess and Li Yan are not of the same mind and do not interfere in Jiangnan's affairs, then they will be sure to deal with Li Yan.
When he reached the edge of the Jing River, Qin Su got off his horse and walked along the embankment, no longer in the mood to be in charge, and pretended to be out for a spring outing.
Li Yan stood on the bank, carefully inspecting the condition of the embankment. There were only a few people around him. not much.
"I have heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful and picturesque. The green water is like silk and the white dike is like a long belt. It really lives up to the name."
Qin Su stood on the pavilion by the river, the blue sky was like washing, the breeze blew, the river surface reflected the blue sky, sparkling, it was really refreshing.
"His Royal Highness, this..."
Just as the governor of Jiangnan was about to speak, he saw Qin Su sitting down in the pavilion, as if he didn't want to talk much.
The governor of Jiangnan hurriedly changed the subject, "Aren't you tired, Your Highness? There is a riverside building near here. The scenery is far away, and the fish and shrimps are caught in this river. It is excellent, would you like to try something new, Your Highness?"
Putting his head on one hand, Qin Su leisurely looked at the distant scenery, "But, let's wait for Master Li."
"Yes."
The governor of Jiangnan came down with a salute, but he didn't intend to take Li Yan with him, but Qin Su even spoke up, and he didn't dare to disobey Qin Su's wishes.
Everyone sat in the pavilion and waited, and it took most of the day to wait.
The Jiangnan County Sheriff nearby watched Li Yan walking back and forth, not knowing what he was doing, "Your Highness, Mr. Li's behavior is really weird, so we can see the problem of the flood situation?"
Qin Su half drooped his eyelids, "You ask me, who do I ask?"
It was the first time I saw Qin Su being so ruthless, and the governor of Jiangnan could only smile awkwardly, "I'm just worried, it's getting late, Your Highness is tired from the journey, and needs to rest and rectify. Mr. Li was only thinking about his business, and he didn't think about His Highness."
"Green Smoke, go invite Master Li."
As soon as Qin Su raised his hand, Lu Yan walked towards Li Yan.
The governor of Jiangnan looked at Qin Su's unprocrastinating temperament, shrank his neck, and dared not say any more beside him.
Li Yan was invited back. He was obviously dissatisfied with Qin Su, but he endured it and went to Linjiang Tower together.
The governor of Jiangnan had already asked someone to say hello before he came, and now there was no one in the entire Linjiang Building, only the shopkeeper and a group of waiters were waiting at the door with smiles on their faces, trotting up to meet him from a long distance away .
This Linjiang Building is really grand, facing the Jinghe River, it is a full nine-story building, with carved beams and painted buildings, majestic, and the towering willow trees around it draw out their branches, moving with the wind, adding to the artistic conception.
"Grassmen, please refer to Her Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Wanfu Jin'an!"
The shopkeeper of Linjiang Tower gave a big salute, and blurted out a series of auspicious compliments, but Qin Su didn't catch a word anyway.
The governor of Jiangnan could also see that Qin Su didn't like this kind of compliment very much, so he quickly winked at the shopkeeper and led a group of people into the building.
Entering the Linjiang Tower, the interior layout is equally good, not to mention the sculptures and fresh and elegant ornaments that can be seen everywhere, but the various calligraphy and paintings of famous people are dizzying. Literati style.
Walking floor by floor, Qin Su was not very interested in those calligraphy and paintings, but when he reached the ninth floor, Qin Su glanced at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and stopped, "This one is pretty good."
The governor of Jiangnan and the treasurer hurriedly followed Qin Su's gaze, only to see a picture of a snow scene with a poem inscribed on it.
"Your Highness really has a good eye. She has a discerning eye. This is the work of the former No. [-] talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the No. [-] talented woman in Dayong, and Shen Yi, the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Shen's family. The aura is compelling. It is truly a rare masterpiece." Jiamobao is even more difficult to find nowadays."
The governor of Jiangnan praised it greatly, but he didn't say what is so good about this calligraphy and painting for a long time.
"It was originally made by Anping, what a coincidence."
Qin Su seemed to say it casually, but it caught the Jiangnan county guard and the shopkeeper of Linjianglou in a daze.
Lu Yan reminded appropriately, "Miss Shen has a very good personal relationship with my Highness. Speaking of which, His Highness has never collected Miss Shen's calligraphy, and I never thought that I would meet here first."
Hearing this, the governor of Jiangnan immediately understood, and touched the shopkeeper next to him with his elbow, "This is indeed destined, Your Highness is destined to be with Miss Shen, and this calligraphy and painting is also very destined!"
"Yes, calligraphy and calligraphy in the world are all priceless treasures, and they should belong to someone with a predestined relationship. Since this painting and calligraphy are so predestined to be with His Highness, they should belong to His Highness. The villain is just taking care of them on behalf of them. Of course, it should be done, Your Highness, please do it!"
The shopkeeper of Linjiang Tower is also a shrewd person, he immediately reacted, and said something as if it was Qin Su's thing, and said it very naturally.
Since they sincerely wanted to send it off, Qin Su was not polite, he shirked it, and happily let Ziyun accept it. Li Yan's face was stretched, and the governor of Jiangnan and the others were in a very good mood.
Sitting on the top floor of the Linjiang Building, you can enjoy a wide view of the surrounding area and the bustling scenery on both sides of the Jing River, which makes you feel open and comfortable.
Just at sunset, thousands of miles of red clouds are all over the sky, reflecting into the wide and calm Jinghe Lake, the water and sky are blood-red, majestic and captivating.
Qin Su just looked at it like this, watching the twilight, the red faded to dark blue, and then the lights of Wanjia gradually lit up like stars. When it was lit up, the bright candlelight illuminated the entire building, like the brightest star in the dark blue night.
Qin Su looked into the Jing River again, and the magnificent blood-colored sunset came to an end, and he saw the lights on both sides of the river reflected in the river, dotted like stars falling into the river.
"Green smoke, bring a pen and paper. It's time for me to write a letter to Anping. I must tell Anping about this beautiful scenery."
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Qin Su felt that there was no one to talk about, and couldn't help thinking of Shen Yi who was still in Beijing. If Anping was by his side at this time, it would be complete.
For Qin Su's behavior, Li Yan was a black face from the beginning to the end, but the Jiangnan governor was happy to see the result. The more Qin Su indulged in having fun, the safer they were.
Qin Su really wanted to write a letter to Shen Yi, and he was satisfied after writing three full letters. Although they were all trivial matters and the words were not very elegant, Qin Su wanted to talk to Shen Yi.
After finishing writing, Qin Su put it in the envelope and sealed it with his own hands, "Send someone tomorrow and send it back to the capital."
It was another flattery, Qin Su didn't bother to pay attention to it, and the governor of Jiangnan no longer wanted to make fun of himself, and gave Qin Su peace.
After eating a meal, it can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host. The fresh fish and shrimp in Linjiang Tower are really delicious, tender and smooth. It only needs the simplest cooking and does not need too many seasonings. It is an excellent dish tasty.
Qin Su also ate a lot, and then took a rest in the Linjiang Tower before going back to the post station.
Although the inn was simple and crude, there was no more suitable place to go in such a short period of time, so Qin Su reluctantly stayed there until he had to be tidied up again.
"Your Highness, this humble house is simple, please take care of it, Your Highness will definitely arrange a new residence as soon as possible. Do you think it is feasible for you to arrange a few more servants?"
When the Jiangnan Sheriff finished speaking, Qin Su raised his hand, and without saying a word, Luyan invited the Jiangnan Sheriff out.
"Lord Sheriff, my Highness doesn't like strangers, I appreciate your kindness, please go back."
The governor of Jiangnan didn't expect that Qin Su had so many rules here, so he hurriedly nodded, saluted and said goodbye, and left.
After sending the Jiangnan County Guard out of the gate, Lu Yan closed the door, and the entire station has been replaced by the people brought by Qin Su. The surrounding is airtight to ensure the absolute safety of the station.
Li Yan and Qin Su sat together drinking tea, "Your Highness is tired today."
"Master Li is troubled," said Qin Su and Li Yan after acting for a day, and now Qin Su and Li Yan swept away the discord outside the daytime, the two were polite and humble to each other, "Today, this palace is just what it is, that's all. It made Master Li's face dark for a whole day."
"Your Highness is just joking, the lower official is just his true colors. People often say that the face of the lower official is like someone who is owed money, which is not pleasing to others."
Ever since he opened up about the previous misunderstanding, Li Yan's view of Qin Su has really changed. Now seeing this unassuming princess, she is much closer and speaks more easily.
"Justice is in the hearts of the people, Master Li doesn't have to take it to heart, let me tell you what did Master Li discover today?"
Qin Su has always disliked judging people by their appearance, a person's talent and character are the most important.
Speaking of business, Li Yan also talked about the discovery on the river embankment today, "I'm actually not sure, but looking at the waters of the Jing River, it is still within the controllable range. Moreover, the river bed is wide, and although the water level is high, it has not crossed the line. However, I only looked at this place today, so it may not be reliable. It would be more appropriate to look at other places, especially the few river banks that were washed away before. .”
Naturally, no one would dare to speak out about such a major event, not even Li Yan, once something happened, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.
Qin Su nodded, sailing carefully, it is not a bad thing for Li Yan to be more cautious.
"Now the governor of Jiangnan thinks that you and I are at odds, and this palace is fine for the time being, but Mr. Li, you should be careful everywhere, and try to avoid being alone, so as not to cause trouble again."
On the first day of arriving in Jiangnan, Qin Su was quite satisfied with the results, so he asked Li Yan a little more.
Back then, Li Yan was able to escape from being chased by the Jiangnan government, go north with evidence, and go to Beijing to sue the imperial court. Li Yan naturally knew some martial arts and was careful enough to be vigilant. Of course, he now understands his situation better, and his situation. The meaning of life here is that even if it is for the people in Jiangnan, he would not dare to put himself in danger.
Qin Su and Li Yan said a few more words, and after explaining everything, they took a breath first, and after they finished speaking, seeing that it was getting late, the two also took their leave and went back to their courtyards.
Although the inn was dilapidated, it was not small. Qin Su had his own yard. After returning, Qin Su practiced sword skills in the yard.
"Your Highness, is there something on your mind?"
Standing by the side, Luyan looked at Qin Su's sharper swordsmanship, somewhat worried. After all, this is in the south of the Yangtze River, not in Beijing, so he can let His Highness do as he pleases.
"I'm thinking, how many such moths have the people of Dayong raised, and how big are these moths?"
Putting away the sword, Qin Su recalled the lifeless and desolate streets he saw early this morning, and then thought about the glossy Jiangnan governor, and the magnificent Linjiang Tower with carved beams and painted buildings. If it wasn't for the flood, Qin Su would have already entered Among the government offices in the south of the Yangtze River.
But except for a moth in the south of the Yangtze River, how many are there in the world?
"This has always been the case throughout the ages. Instead of worrying about this matter, His Highness, it is better to recharge your batteries and pull out the visible moths."
In the past, Luyan rarely saw Qin Su worrying, let alone thinking so much like now. Although she felt sorry for her highness, she also knew that this was the path her highness must take.
Qin Su raised his head and glanced at the pitch-black sky. Tonight, the stars and the moon were hidden behind the clouds, making it hard to see clearly.
"Forget it, change clothes and go to bed, we will see tomorrow."
Separated from the two places, Qin Su's side is still making plans for the affairs of the Jiangnan government step by step, and Shen Yi's side is not idle either.
In just four days, Shen Yi looked at His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince who had appeared in front of him no less than ten times, with a blank expression on his face.
Ever since Prime Minister Shen changed his mind completely in the Imperial Study Room, when Qin Su left the next day, Prime Minister Shen left the early court and personally sent Shen Yi back to Taixue. He was narrow-minded before, and he said angry words. Now that the problem is solved, Shen Yi's studies can no longer be delayed.
Looking at these articles that he had already memorized by heart, it was rare for Shen Yi, like Qin Su, to miss the days when he didn't need to come to Taixue.
But nostalgia is nostalgia, Shen Yi still distinguishes the seriousness from the seriousness, and still listens to his master's lectures peacefully. The only thing that can't be tolerated is that His Highness Qin Jun, the Eighth Prince, who has made a mistake in the past few days. Always looming in front of his eyes.
Just when Shen Yi was about to speak to remind the Eighth Prince not to block the way, Yang Yi who rushed out from the side rescued Shen Yi from danger, and dragged Shen Yi away.
Shen Yi looked as if he had eaten honey, grinning from ear to ear, and Yang Yi, whose face was flushed, was somewhat puzzled, "What good thing happened to make you lose your composure?"
Although Yang Yi has a wild temper and takes Qin Su as an example, she is also a well-educated lady after all. Now she laughs like a demented idiot, which is really strange.
Pulling Shen Yi to stand in the bamboo forest of Taixue, Yang Yi covered her lips and explained to Shen Yi in a low voice.
"Anping, you don't know, just today, His Majesty personally decreed to appoint Young Master Yu to fulfill the bet with Fuliang Kingdom and attack Jing Kingdom."
Yang Yi had told Shen Yi before that her sweetheart was Yu Chen, the eldest son of Yu, and when talking about this matter now, she was not shy at all, and was quite proud.
"Huh?" Shen Yi was a little surprised. Yu Chen was about to attack Jingguo and she knew it for a while. What she didn't understand was why Yang Yi was so happy. So happy?"
Yang Yi also looked at Shen Yi very strangely, and waved her hands, "Oh, Anping, you don't know about love, of course you don't. This Mr. Yu has always been talented before, but he didn't have a chance to show his skills. Now it's finally given to him. How can I not be happy that this is the opportunity for Mr. Yu to become famous?
Besides, it's only a few months, even if Mr. Yu is in Beijing, I won't see him a few times, so what's the difference? "
Yang Yi still pretended that Shen Yi didn't understand anything, and said carelessly.
Shen Yi doesn't understand love, but has already made a private decision for life, his face turns slightly red, and he finally understands the difference between his thoughts and Yang Yi's.
Yang Yi and Yu Chen had never been together, so they naturally had no feelings for each other. On the contrary, this time was a good opportunity for Yu Chen, and Yang Yi was naturally happy for him.
On the other hand, Qin Su and I can meet each other from time to time in the middle of the capital, so it is naturally uncomfortable to part at the first sight...
"Anping, why is your face turning red, could it be that your clothes are thicker?
I've told you that spring is here, and you're still wearing winter clothes, no wonder it's getting hotter. "
After talking about her affairs excitedly, Yang Yi did not forget to take care of Shen Yi beside her, and asked with concern.
"...It should be because I walked a little faster just now, and I can't bear it, it's not the fault of the clothes."
Randomly found an excuse, Shen Yi dealt with it.
"Blame me, blame me," Yang Yi felt a little carried away seeing Shen Yi getting better every day, and first led Shen Yi to the pavilion to sit down and rest.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw several people coming towards this side, and the leader was none other than the Eighth Prince Qin Jun.
Even Yang Yi saw the way, and teased Shen Yi, "Anping, why is the eighth prince always wandering around in front of your eyes these days? Could it be..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I already have a sweetheart, and it can't be His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince."
Shen Yi didn't want Yang Yi to be misunderstood, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the Eighth Prince, so he said to Yang Yi a little seriously.
It was the first time that she heard Shen Yi admitting herself, Yang Yi immediately opened her eyes wide, and wanted to ask who that person was, but seeing the Eighth Prince who was about to approach, she swallowed her words first.
"Miss Shen, Miss Yang."
Qin Jun is only one year older than Qin Su. He looks like a young man, not yet mature, but he also has a youthful spirit, so serious, he looks like a handsome young man.
"I have seen His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince."
The two sides greeted each other.
"Study is over today, are the two ladies free? There is a temple fair in the south of the city today, and it is very lively. I am waiting for a few people, and I want to invite the two ladies to go to the temple fair together. Is it convenient?"
Qin Jun explained his reason for coming, and seemed very confident that Shen Yi and Shen Yi would agree.
Yang Yi glanced at Shen Yi who was silent with drooping eyes, she could probably guess how Shen Yi was thinking of refusal, so she just helped her back.
Holding Shen Yi's arm, Yang Yi greeted Qin Jun with a smile, "Eighth Prince, you are late, what a coincidence, Anping and I just made an appointment, and there are other things, it is really inconvenient."
Qin Jun glanced at Yang Yi, who was in the way, and felt a bit hesitant to be rejected in such a way, "Who do the two ladies have an appointment with?"
Seeing that the eighth prince was making fun of himself, Yang Yi also put back the smile on his face, "His Royal Highness, the eighth prince, is too lenient."
"Yang Yi, this palace didn't ask you, it was Miss Shen who asked, wouldn't Miss Shen not give you face?" Frowning, Qin Jun didn't care about his demeanor, and used his power to overwhelm others.
Yang Yi was upset. Although Qin Jun was unreasonable and used power to overwhelm others, after all, Qin Jun was His Royal Highness, and Yang Yi had nothing to say about his status.
Shen Yi looked at Qin Jun, "Your Highness the Eighth Prince and I can't afford to offend you, but we have already made an outing with His Highness the Second Prince today, how about this, Your Highness the Eighth Prince go down and talk to His Highness the Second Prince?"
This also happened suddenly, there was no other way, Shen Yi could only pull Qin Miao out as a shield.
Qin Miao's shield is also really useful. When Qin Miao heard Qin Miao's name, Qin Jun's face changed suddenly, "It seems that Miss Shen is on good terms with the second emperor brother?"
"Don't dare, I just met a few times."
Although Shen Yi's tone was soft and gentle, the meaning in his words was self-evident.
Although Qin Jun was annoyed, but facing Qin Miao, he had no choice but to swallow his anger back, turned around and left.
I thought that I would have a chance after seeing off Qin Su at last, but I never thought that there would be Qin Miao, and everyone would beat him.
Looking at the back of the Eighth Prince angrily leaving, Yang Yi felt relieved, "Anping is still the best, but what if he really asks His Royal Highness the Second Prince? Anping, did you really agree with the Second Prince?"
"No, we need to send someone to talk about it now."
Shen Yi didn't have much joy in her heart, Qin Jun's behavior was abnormal these few days, and she could probably guess what was going on, but it was difficult, and it was better to discuss it with Qin Miao first.
"Anping is really on good terms with His Royal Highness the Second Prince? It's really rare."
Yang Yi looked at Shen Yi with sparkling eyes. The princes had very little contact with others, especially His Royal Highness the second prince. He was arrogant, talented, and distinguished. He was almost undoubtedly the best candidate for the prince, so he went to the second prince's side. There are many people who are like crucian carp crossing the river, but there are very few who can speak in front of them.
Previously, Yang Yi felt that it was rare for Shen Yi and Qin Su to get along well, but now they have become friends with His Royal Highness the Second Prince. It was only two months since Shen Yi came to Beijing. Yang Yi even felt that she, who grew up in Beijing, was simply It's all for nothing.
"Don't think about it too much, I just met His Royal Highness the Second Prince a few times thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. This time I asked His Highness the Second Prince for help because of helplessness. I think His Highness the Second Prince will take care of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. How dare you say that you are on good terms with the second prince when you give him a helping hand?"
Shen Yi didn't want others to misunderstand him, so even if he told Yang Yi, he would speak at a distance. After all, men and women are different, so as not to spread bad words.
Yang Yi looked at Shen Yi, "From what Anping said, the second prince should be a kind-hearted person? It's different from the rumors."
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is naturally a kind-hearted person."
Shen Yi nodded in agreement.
"I really envy Anping, who has a confidant and friend like His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
Yang Yi cupped her face and looked at Shen Yi enviously. As long as Qin Su was in the middle, it would be easy for Shen Yi to make friends with anyone, which is really enviable.
"It is indeed my life's honor to meet Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
Shen Yi nodded slightly, thinking of Qin Sulai, with a gentle expression, shaking the silver bell in his hand.
"The bell of Anping is exquisite, can you lend me a look?" Yang Yi looked curiously at the bell in Shen Yi's hand.
Putting the bell away with a smile, Shen Yi avoids Yang Yi, "It's easy to say, this is not."
"Oh~ A token of love? Then I can't see it, I can't see it!" Yang Yi understood instantly, and teased Shen Yi with winks.
"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Yi retorted softly, but blushed, making Yang Yi more convinced of her guess.
At the same time, Qin Su, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, sneezed and rubbed his nose.
"Your Highness, did you catch a cold?" Lu Yan, who was following Qin Su, put a cloak on Qin Su.
Qin Su shook his head and smiled, maybe Anping missed himself.
After a moment of distraction, Qin Su suppressed his smile, stood by the embankment and looked at Li Yan, who was directing people to dig the aqueduct, and discussed with Lu Yan beside him in a low voice, "What happened to the people who went to investigate the government in the south of the Yangtze River? "
"Returning to Your Highness, our people have successfully sneaked into the Jiangnan government, but the defense is too tight, and we dare not act rashly for a while. All we know is that there seems to be an expert behind the Jiangnan county guard."
Green Smoke also answered in a low voice.
"Well, be careful in everything, and send a secret letter back to Beijing to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, asking him to investigate the people in the Yushitai. Over the years, the Yushitai has been inspecting various places. For so many years, the Jiangnan government is so blatant. I don’t believe that Yushitai doesn’t know about it, and I’m afraid that the officials are colluding to cover up each other, or even relying on the darkness under the lights to cooperate.”
Qin Su thought for a long time, but the Jiangnan government must not dare to take this risky move. After all, the lesson from the past is still here, but if it is in collusion with Beijing, then it will be another story. This time, it may be the same as five years ago , Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. I don't know how big a pit it is.
This matter needs to be handled by Lu Yan in person before she can rest assured. After hearing what Qin Su said, Lu Yan left to make arrangements.
Qin Su calmly glanced at the "common people" who looked at him from a distance from time to time, with a cold expression on his face, he dared to send someone to monitor him, the Jiangnan county guard was afraid that his neck was tired, and wanted to send him to The pig's head was picked off.
The sternness in his eyes flashed across, and Qin Su looked at the half-broken long embankment, "Ziyun, send someone to change up quietly, and go to the surrounding villages to inquire about the situation. The embankment is half-broken, and no one is really affected? "
"Yes."
Ziyun responded, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qin Su, "Bring me some food when you come back, Mr. Li probably forgot the time again, let him starve."
Yesterday, Qin Su didn't eat a single bite of food for most of the day, and Qin Su was almost starving. Looking at today's posture, it is estimated that the same is true. Qin Su had better make plans early.
In addition, in front of everyone, I and Li Yan are extremely at odds. With Qin Su's domineering temperament, he will definitely not care about Li Yan's life and death, so naturally he can't make an extra copy for Li Yan.
Ziyun understood what Qin Su meant, so he agreed to leave.
Qin Su went back to the temporary camp. In this perilous Jiangnan, one must be careful in everything. A careless move may scare the snake. It will be difficult for these moths to hide in a deeper place.
Sitting in the tent, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, when Qin Su heard an announcement from outside, saying that the governor of Jiangnan asked to see him.
At this time, Qin Su felt that it was rare for him to understand Emperor Yongle's thoughts of muddling through every day, and he was only dealing with these few people in the Jiangnan area. It can be really annoying to have to weigh left and right.
