Chapter 55
Chapter 55
For the next few days, Li Yan stayed in the mansion, not even taking a step out of the mansion gate.It wasn't that he was grounded again, and it wasn't that he wanted to accompany Xiao Duo, whose wounds had begun to scab but still stayed in the mansion to "rehabilitate".
As the palace book, although it does not sound like an important position, Li Yan, who has been handling government affairs with Xiao Duo for several months after entering the mansion, also has a lot of things to finish and hand over.
He really didn't see Yunzhi at all.
Yun Zhi had to deal with much more affairs, although he didn't bother to ask, but Li Yan could figure it out.
Although this trip to Pingzhou was approved by the emperor, and Xiao Duo also agreed by default, but both Yun Zhi and Li Yan have special identities in the capital, so they must conceal their identities and spend some time on the itinerary, so as not to startle the snake and make people Pingzhou made preparations before investigating, fearing that he would be led by the nose.
Li Kunben also wanted to help, but no matter how weak his presence in the court was, he had already been marked with the Huai'an Palace. It is inappropriate to have a relationship according to the current situation in the court.
Therefore, even though he was reluctant, Li Yan still tried his best to adapt himself to this time when he was obviously very close but couldn't see each other.
They want to be together for a long time, but there are many things to do separately.
Although I can't get used to it right away, but fortunately, when there are things to deal with, Li Yan can still keep his mind on it.
On the contrary, Xiao Duo who still wanted to rest but had to go to the study was very uncomfortable and couldn't understand why he couldn't go to accompany Xiao Luo because Li Yan's sweetheart didn't have time to meet him.
Li Yan did not respond to this, and handed over another official document that he had finished reading.
So a few days later, when Yunfu's carriage was waiting in the alley next to the Wangfu, Xiao Duo almost couldn't wait to send Li Yan out of the door without any hesitation.
Perhaps because he had already realized that "the child is too big to stay", Xiao Luo didn't feel much reluctance, but when Li Yan was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly called out to stop him: "Xuanzhi..."
Li Yan handed his baggage to Yun Zhi who was standing beside the car, and turned to look at him: "Here..."
"The dead are gone, and the living are the most important. Don't forget the hatred, don't miss the present moment because of the hatred..." Xiao Luo said and glanced at the carriage, "This is for you, and for Yun Xiao son."
Yun Zhi nodded lightly, and bowed to him: "You are taught."
Li Yan glanced at him, then turned his gaze, and answered Xiao Luo seriously: "Don't worry, I will keep it in my heart."
Xiao Luo looked at him for a while, and then at Yun Zhi who was quietly waiting beside the carriage: "If your parents know about it, they will be relieved to see that you can live a good life until now."
It was rare for him to have such feelings, and even he himself was not used to it, so he changed his tone without waiting for an answer: "Young Master Lao Yun will take care of Xuanzhi this way."
Yun Zhi returned the salute: "It should be so."
Standing between the two of them, Li Yan always felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more strange, as if it wasn't that he wanted to go to Pingzhou with Yunzhi, but... Xiao Luo was sending him off to get married.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Luo said: "When the young master is done with his important affairs, the palace will prepare the dowry, and go to Youzhou to discuss your marriage with Xuanzhi with the Marquis of Zhenyuan."
Li Yan: "..."
really.
He coughed lightly, not surprised at all, and even thankful that Xiao Duo didn't go out to see him off because of his status as the prince, otherwise the current topic would become more mysterious.
Maybe the matchmaker has been called to match the two people's birth dates by now—and Li Yan doesn't know his own birth date very well.
After all, Yun Zhi is an existence who can be calm and calm in any situation, and he just raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Xiao Luo's words.
"The dowry gift?" He glanced at Li Yan with a smile on his face, seeing Li Yan touch his nose unconsciously avoiding his gaze, his smile became more obvious, and then he replied, "There is no need for a dowry gift, after all the incidents are settled, If the steward and the prince can go to Youzhou together to meet my parents, it will be regarded as fulfilling my marriage with Xuanzhi."
"Although Youzhou is far away, there will always be opportunities."
After all, it is not really to send Li Yan to marry, so there is no need to say more.Especially when the weather is getting hotter, Xiao Luo waved her hand after finishing speaking: "It's getting late, and we have to get to the post before dark, let's go."
Yun Zhi bowed to Xiao Luo first, got up and got into the carriage first, then stretched out her hand naturally, and pulled Li Ji up, who was half a step behind.
Xiao Luo leaned at the door, watching the carriage curtain lowered and slowly started, driving all the way out of the alley.
Li Yan may have had a bad life, but now he seems to be getting better again.
Just like myself that day.
And the person who made his life better is waiting in the mansion, and he might complain when he enters the door later, why it took so long to come out to see someone off.
Thinking of this, Xiao Luo couldn't help laughing, turned around and entered the mansion gate.
Pingzhou is far away, and Yunzhi took some time to get someone to prepare a more suitable carriage-the capital city is not like Youzhou, and there are many things that are not convenient for them to come forward directly, mainly due to the effort of shopkeeper Yang Er.
He and Li Yan's identities were also concealed, and the two on the road became merchants and went to northern Liaoning to find some business.
Therefore, he didn't bring any goods, and only a few accompanying guards would not be too eye-catching, and he walked out of the city gate smoothly with a light car.
Yang Er has been running the business in the capital for many years. Apart from the supply from the Hou Mansion, he can be regarded as a rich man. The carriage he found looks ordinary on the outside, but it is spacious and comfortable inside. Two tall and long-legged teenagers stay in the It doesn't feel crowded inside, even if you are tired on the road and want to lie down and take a nap, it is not a problem. There are also a lot of books and food to prevent the journey from being boring.
On weekdays, when Li Yan got into the carriage, he would find a book and read it intently, but now he couldn't calm down, half leaning against the wall of the car, holding a book in his hand, but couldn't help but look at Yunzhi. face.
Yun Zhi was looking down at Lu Yin, staring at Lu Yin for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, couldn't help raising her head: "I've been watching it for a while, let me tell you, I haven't seen you for a few days, have I changed?" appearance?"
"I wanted to say something about whether you've lost weight..." Li Yan closed the book in his hand, looked at Yun Zhi with a smile, "It doesn't look like either."
Yun Zhi also laughed: "With Chen Jin, the guy who has to eat first no matter how busy he is, how could he lose weight so easily."
Before Li Yan could speak, there was a light cough from outside the carriage, followed by Chen Jin's voice: "You two, this carriage is not soundproof. Do you have to keep your voice down when speaking ill of others?"
They didn't bring a few attendants along the way, so Chen Jin took over the job of the coachman.Although both Yun Zhi and Li Yan had invited Chen Jin to take the carriage together, they were all rejected.
Since the early morning of that day, after breaking the relationship between the two, Chen Jin refused to stay alone in the same space with the two when he was not dealing with business.
But it can always show its existence in various ways.
Li Yan was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Yunzhi.
Yun Zhi laughed: "Don't worry, that guy's hearing is so strong, even if he is driven behind him to ride a horse, he can still hear it."
After he finished speaking, he put down the guide in his hand, leaned his head on Li Yan's shoulder very naturally, and his voice was still a little lower: "It's a long road, and you can't read the book, so talk about something to pass the time? "
"What do you want to talk about?" Li Yan turned his head sideways, brushed his lips against Yun Zhi's forehead, and then turned back naturally, "Tell me some more folk rumors?"
Yun Zhi raised her hand and touched her forehead, it was like a very light kiss, and it seemed that she just wanted to talk and accidentally touched it, extra careful but very natural.
"No hurry..." The person who was so busy the past few days relaxed inexplicably after seeing Li Yan, the whole person was lazy, and there was a bit of laughter in his voice, "Why don't we talk first, the bride price?"
I knew that according to Yunzhi's habit, he would not let this matter go easily.
Li Yan raised his hand and touched his nose: "The manager is teasing me, do you mind?"
"I don't mind, but I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect that the palace has already started to prepare these..." Yun Zhi turned her head to look at Li Yan, and then leaned back on him, "I'm still a little happy."
Li Yan slightly adjusted his sitting posture to make the person in his arms more comfortable.
Yun Zhi didn't continue talking, but he already understood.
In fact, both of them knew that whether it was a betrothal gift or a dowry, they were all ridiculed by Xiao Duo and Xiao Luo. The two men couldn't do three books and six rituals, and they couldn't really get married.
Of course, the two of them didn't care too much.
Yun Zhi never believed in destiny, he didn't care about worldly views or other people's opinions, what made him happy was that Li Yan was thinking about the future, although he didn't say it clearly.
Li Yan put his arms around Yunzhi's shoulders, and his fingers naturally intertwined: "It's a long way to go, sleep for a while if you're sleepy."
"Hmm..." Yun Zhi closed her eyes slightly, but she didn't intend to fall asleep, "There is one more thing."
Li Yan responded: "What?"
"Yesterday afternoon, Manager Xiao sent someone to deliver something to me, saying it was..." Yun Zhi looked up at Li Yan, "Your salary during this time?"
"Yes..." Li Yan nodded, "I have spent all my food and clothing in the mansion for the past few months, and I have nothing to spend money on, so I have never received my salary. I was free from work yesterday, so I let someone else do the math, so we went together Sent it to you."
"You let it?" Yun Zhi couldn't help laughing, "Then I will also receive all your salary from now on?"
"Although there are not many..." Li Yan said, "The steward will send someone to send it to you directly."
In the eyes of the young master of the Hou's mansion, the salary in the royal family's book is indeed not too much, but it is Li Ji's unreserved wish to send all of his possessions to his sweetheart.
Direct, clumsy, but sincere.
Yun Zhi closed her eyes again, and said with a smile in her voice, "Okay, I'll keep them all, and they will be included in your betrothal gift in the future."
