==Chapter 97==
After the fifth day of the first lunar month, King Jin began to be busy again.
After questioning, Yao Niang found out that the Wanshou Festival of the Holy Emperor was in March, and it was a full day. It was his fiftieth birthday. Logically speaking, the King of Jin, as his son, would come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.
Of course, coming to the capital to celebrate a birthday should not be taken lightly. An ordinary son would have to carefully prepare a birthday gift for his father, not to mention that the father is a noble person, so this birthday gift must be very important. In addition, Jinzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the honor guards and even the carriages and horses on the road must be arranged in advance.
Also, if King Jin leaves, the fiefdom affairs will have to be handed over to trustworthy and reliable subordinates. Some things that his subordinates couldn’t handle had to be handled by him in advance. In particular, Jinzhou is close to the border and has the responsibility to defend against barbarians. This is even more important.
So these days King Jin was so busy that he only came back at night, while Yao Niang was raising her fetus in Rongxi Courtyard. During this period, Xiaobao learned to walk.
Generally, when children first learn to walk, they are always in a hurry and often fall, so someone must watch. This is not the case with Xiaobao. He has been walking very seriously and slowly since the beginning. He has never fallen down.
So King Jin was busy and busy, and suddenly found that his son could walk.
When he came back from outside in the evening, he was waiting for someone to wash his face and wash his hands, when he suddenly found a short and short man standing in front of him. Only a little higher than his knees, he was wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket and trousers to facilitate movement. He had a small peach tip on the front of his smooth head, which looked extremely cute.
Prince Jin lowered his head and watched the little peach dangling under his nose. Suddenly, the little kid fell unsteadily to the side, and Prince Jin picked him up with his magic hand.
He was picked up again! Just like carrying a bag!
Xiaobao reached out and hugged Prince Jin’s arm, and took a bite. It’s a pity that King Jin didn’t even move his eyebrows, but instead he hurt his teeth because of too much force. When he looked up, everyone in the room was looking at him, including the man opposite him, and he burst into tears.
It’s for shame.
Yao Niang hurried over from Dongjian, “What’s going on?”
When he came in, he saw King Jin carrying Xiaobao and putting him on the kang.
“Why are you carrying him again? Xiaobao doesn’t like to be carried. Every time you carry him, he is unhappy.” So, the mother still understands her son.
Xiaobao did something stupid and felt ashamed to see anyone. Yao Niang came over to hug him, and he just lay on her shoulder without looking at anyone. As time went by and he came back alive, he found that he was becoming more and more childish, but the problem was that this childishness would always pop up inadvertently, and he couldn’t control it at all.
Jin Wang Leng had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, but he couldn’t explain that he didn’t know how to hold a child and could only carry it. I can only watch Yao Niang patting Xiao Bao’s back again and again, coaxing softly: “Baby, be good, your dad doesn’t know how to hold a baby, he will learn how to do it in the future.”
His words hit the mark, and King Jin suddenly felt even more embarrassed.
He cleared his throat and sat down on the edge of the Kang, served tea in red silk, and led the others down.
“I plan to take you with me on this trip.”
Yao Niang didn’t react and subconsciously asked: “Where are you going?”
“Go to the capital.” King Jin picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said: “You need to report to the court about the matter of canonizing the side concubine, and there is also the matter of Xiaobao presenting the jade certificate, so we simply go together this time Let’s do it.”
In fact, there was another reason that King Jin didn’t say. He was not worried about leaving her in the palace. When he enters the capital this time, he will inevitably take a large number of people with him. The situation in the palace is already complicated. No one knows who is behind the women who were rewarded by the superiors. There are also hidden nails that have not been pulled out. No one dares to Be precise. Rather than leaving her in the house to worry about herself, it is better to take her with you.
“Can I go? My stomach…”
“I asked Dr. Liu Liang that it’s okay to go on the road, as long as you don’t go too fast. And there is still a part of the road that requires water.”
“That little treasure——”
“Take it with you.”
Yao Niang nodded, already thinking about what to bring on the road.
*
Not only is King Jin going on this trip, but Yao Niang and Xiaobao are also going, and Princess Jin is naturally indispensable.
And just the day before she was about to leave, something suddenly happened with Concubine Xu.
She took out a letter from the Xu family, saying that her mother was seriously ill and wanted to go back to visit. This reason is reasonable and reasonable. After all, filial piety comes first. Princess Jin knew that the other party was lying, but she could not provide strong evidence to reject her. She was so angry that she turned around and took Concubine Liu with her because she had never returned to Ning.
In this regard, King Jin did not express any opinions.
Since then, in order to come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, the most famous masters in the Jin Palace have disappeared. Prince Jin has handed over all matters regarding the fiefdom to his trustworthy confidants. As for matters concerning the backyard, Princess Jin has no rules. She entrusted them to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li is an old man in the house, and there are only a few concubines left, so she doesn’t have to worry about causing any trouble.
On the day of departure, the large group of people marched out of the city like a long dragon.
At the same time, two other carriages, escorted by more than twenty lightly dressed guards, quietly left.
On the carriage, Yao Niang asked: “If we sneak away like this, will we be discovered?”
“No one will notice. They are walking slowly. We just need to meet up before entering Beijing.”
Yao Niang nodded and stopped caring about these things.
The carriage traveled very fast along the way, and because the carriage was specially made, there was no bumpy feeling. Moreover, she only walked at full speed for half a day every day and stopped to rest for the remaining half of the day. Yao Niang did not feel any discomfort.
I saw many different scenery along the way and passed many cities. Not only Yao Niang was dazzled by it, but Xiaobao was also dazzled. Both of them were the kind of people who had never been outside the courtyard in their previous lives.
We walked for more than ten days and changed boats. Originally, King Jin was worried whether Yao Niang would get seasick, but luckily she didn’t. It took another five or six days of boating to reach the destination.
Because the team of people and honor guards from Jin Prince’s Mansion had not yet arrived, Jin Prince and others stopped there temporarily and found an inn to stay.
As spring blossoms, more and more people are going out of town for a spring outing.
Since he had nothing to do and was traveling lightly, King Jin originally planned to take Yao Niang out for a walk, but he was frightened back by the roaring crowd when he left the city. After asking, I found out that there was a Taoist temple nearby. There was a Taoist priest in that temple who was very efficacious. Today was the day when he opened the altar to preach.
Preaching is the second most important thing. After all, there are only a few people who can understand it and have wisdom. However, every time this Taoist priest opened the forum and gave a sermon, he would select three believers to help him perform hexagrams and test words. It was said that they were very effective and accurate. These common people are all going for these three hexagrams, and maybe they can be chosen.
The King of Jin was dismissive of this. He always did not believe in such myths. But Yao Niang was very curious. She had never seen anything called performing divination and character testing.
Seeing this, King Jin could only accompany her to play for a while. He was just taking her out to relax.
We went outside the city, but it was a small Taoist temple that looked a little dilapidated.
At a time when Buddhism is flourishing and Taoism is in decline, King Jin was not surprised that this would be the case. However, there are quite a lot of believers, because the space is limited, and there are even people standing on the treetops and hillsides. There is a stone platform in the center, with a Yin-Yang Fish Tai Chi figure carved in the middle, and a Taoist sitting cross-legged on it.
The sermon had already begun. Except for the circle surrounding the stone platform, there were people listening attentively, while more people were whispering to the left and right. From time to time, a child would make a fuss. The woman would stand up and chase the child to beat him, while several children would come and go and fight.
It’s just like Caishikou.
The King of Jin raised his eyebrows and signaled to Yao Niang: “Are you still coming?”
Yao Niang looked embarrassed and finally came out, but she didn’t expect this to be the case. She thought that so many people rushing here must be pious in their hearts, but she never expected it to be like this. I didn’t see that this Taoist had any profound teachings. Instead, he looked like a stage troupe in a rural county singing a big show.
Yao Niang is an honest person, so she shook her head.
The King of Jin smiled, took her hand, and the group planned to leave. Xiaobao stretched out his hand over there and called mother.
Xiao Bao was held by Yu Chan, wearing a thin indigo cotton jacket and trousers, and a small hat on his head, just like ordinary children from wealthy families. Yao Niang and Jin Wang were also dressed in regular clothes. This time they were pretending to be the master and wife of ordinary merchants.
The masters all dressed up in such a low-key manner, and Fucheng and Anyi on the side were also dressed in cloth shirts. All in all, this group of people was not eye-catching. Except that the master and his wife are too handsome and beautiful, but they have attracted prostitutes twice, so I won’t mention it for now.
“Xiaobao, what’s wrong with you?” Yao Niang asked.
At this moment, the place suddenly became quiet. Yao Niang turned around to look, only to find that the Taoist priest on the stone platform was looking at them.
“Hey, go quickly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event.” Someone said on the side.
Yao Niang was still a little confused, but King Jin said to her: “You don’t want to watch the hexagrams and test the characters, but you are not going to do it in vain.”
Uh…
As he spoke, King Jin had already led her through the narrow path opened by the crowd to the stone platform.
As I got closer, I realized that this Taoist looked like an immortal, with fair hair and a childish face, and a shiny and rosy complexion. At first glance, he looked like a Taoist master.
“I, poor Taoist Hanchuanzi, never thought that I would see three people with such strange fortunes here today, and the three of them are a family, so I will give these three hexagrams to you today.” As he said that, he said to A little Taoist boy next to him whispered a few instructions.
The little Taoist boy raised his voice and said to the crowd that the people for today’s three hexagrams had been selected. Although there were constant complaints, people dispersed in the end.
Here, Han Chuanzi looked at King Jin with a smile on his face and asked, “What does the donor want?”
“Ask for nothing.”
“Everyone has something to ask for.”
“What I ask for is not something you, a mere Taoist, can give you.”
“Yes, what the benefactor asks for is a big deal, and it is indeed not something that a poor Taoist can give.” Hanchuan Zihun said with a smile, not caring about King Jin’s attitude.
Until now, King Jin gave Han Chuanzi a serious look.
The King of Jin had seen too many monks like this who pretended to be profound. Sitting in his position, anyone who comes to him to make a fuss is only looking for wealth and power.
The King of Jin looked at Han Chuanzi at this time, not because he thought he was very profound, but because he doubted whether he had leaked his whereabouts.
His eyes were sharp and he glanced at Han Chuanzi again before lowering his head and saying to Yao Niang: “Are you hungry? It’s time for lunch.”
As he said that, he led Yao Niang back, her behavior seemed normal, but in fact, anyone who knew martial arts would know that the woman in his arms was protected by him, no matter what. All attacks can be blocked immediately.
While walking, An Yi had already come to the right side of Yu Chan, and he and Fucheng were on the left and right.
After walking a little far, a voice came, but the wind was a bit strong and it was blown away.
Yao Niang asked curiously: “That man seemed to have said something, did you hear it?”
King Jin shook his head, “He’s just a bluffing Taoist.”
