Chapter 50 [This young man is good and suitable to be a husband! 】
February 15th, Jinming Pond.
Although it is only a short time since the beginning of spring, many flowers are already in full bloom in Kyoto, especially those in the Jinmingchi Garden.
Soon after daybreak, many young girls in the city were waiting for the Jinming Pond to bloom. The road outside the garden was crowded with carriages.
The Lingjiaofang is also very lively in the early morning.
Before daybreak, Song Jin got up early and made two large boxes of cakes.
After she packed the pastries, she carried them out through the side door of the shop.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Wang Xian waiting outside.
Song Jin was stunned: "Brother Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Xian took the cake from Song Jin's hand and said casually, "You are going to Jinming Lake today. I see you don't plan to open the door today, so I will wait for you here."
Song Jin followed behind him and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, are you going today too?"
Wang Xian nodded: "Today happens to be a day off, and I have nothing to do. My mother asked me to go out more and not stay at home all the time."
Wang Xian didn't like to go out in the past. Aunt Wang had told her about this many times, but Big Brother Wang never listened and just stayed at home reading.
It seems that Aunt Wang was very angry that she was allowed to go out today.
Song Jin raised his lips and smiled secretly.
Brother Wang is usually a prudent and steady person, but when Song Jin thought of how he was nagged by his mother at home, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Wang Xian walked onto the street carrying two boxes of snacks. He walked towards a carriage, put the food boxes away, and then turned around to help Song Jin.
Song Jin was a little surprised: "Brother Wang, you also rented a car?"
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded. "Many people go to Jinming Lake. It is most convenient for the girls to travel by carriage."
Song Jin had never attended any spring banquet, so naturally he didn't think of this.
She had intended to go there on foot.
Song Jin didn't refuse.
She was agile and got into the carriage by herself without Wang Xian's help.
Wang Xian looked at his empty palm, feeling helpless.
Then he followed.
Song Jin has been in Kyoto for nearly a year, but he has never had a good time. When it comes to entertainment in Kyoto, he has never heard of it in Chongzhou.
Song Jin thought about it, she sat by the car window and opened the curtain.
Looking outside with interest.
Only at this time did Wang Xian dare to look at her carefully.
Song Jin dressed up specially today, wearing a light yellow jacket and a light green skirt, both brand new spring clothes.
To suit the occasion, she pinned a few yellow and white pearl flowers in her hair, making her look delicate and cute.
She was really serious about attending the Spring Banquet today.
I just wonder if she wants to go to the Spring Banquet to find a good husband like those girls?
He couldn't help but think of that night when he was about to express his feelings to Song Jin, but Song Jin turned around and interrupted him.
He had a chance to say more, but he saw Song Jin's eyes.
The girl's eyes were clear, but without a trace of love.
The words stayed on his lips, and he could not utter them anymore.
Song Jin, who was watching the excitement, was completely unaware. She saw the crowd outside and the carriage gradually slowing down. She smiled and said, "Brother Wang, there are so many people in Kyoto."
Wang Xian came back to his senses: "There are already many people in Kyoto, and with the Jinming Pond opening today, many people in the city will come to enjoy the spring scenery."
Song Jin was a little surprised: "Although the temperature in Kyoto is higher, there are not many flowers blooming outside. Are there many flowers in Jinming Lake?"
"There are more flowers in the Jinming Lake Garden." Wang Xian explained: "There is a hot spring not far from the Jinming Lake. The temperature in the Jinming Lake Garden is higher than other places, and the flowers bloom earlier."
Song Jin didn't even turn his head, just surprised: "So that's how it is!"
The carriage moved slowly along the street.
Wang Xian glanced at the food boxes outside and said, "Ah Jin, you brought so many cakes in. Can one person finish them all?"
Song Jin then retracted his eyes and said, "These cakes are not mine. They were ordered by Madam Lin. I thought I would also go to the Spring Banquet today, so I didn't ask Sister Chun Xing to pick them up. I can just bring them to Madam."
She knew the time when Mrs. Lin would arrive at Jinmingchi.
It was still early, so she was in no hurry.
Although there were already quite a few carriages lined up ahead, it was still early after all, so Song Jin didn't have to wait too long before the carriage arrived in front of Jinming Lake.
Carriages were not allowed to stop here, so Song Jin and Wang Xian quickly got off the carriage and entered the garden after registering.
As soon as he entered, Song Jin controlled himself and opened his eyes wide.
She originally thought that Jinming Pond was just a pond, and even if there was a garden next to it, it would not be that big.
But when she saw it with her own eyes, she could only open her eyes wide in surprise.
This, this, this!
No wonder people say Kyoto is a place of wealth and luxury.
This Jinming Lake is so big!
When Wang Xian saw the girl's surprise, he curled his lips.
He reminded her in a low voice: "Ajin, the garden of Jinming Lake is large, and some private pavilions have already been reserved by nobles. Why don't you come with me? I will lead the way for you."
Song Jin was about to refuse, but heard a few people approaching him: "Hey? Wang Xian? Why are you here?"
Wang Xian turned around and saw three people coming towards him. He walked up to them in a few steps.
A tall young man with a cheerful personality said: "We invited you to come yesterday but you didn't want to. Why did you sneak in today?"
As the man was speaking, he noticed that there was a girl next to Wang Xian.
The three of them looked at Song Jin with interest before asking, "Wang Xian, who is this girl?"
Wang Xian thought for a moment before introducing her: "This is my friend's sister, Song Jin."
Wang Xian said to Song Jin again: "This is my colleague."
Song Jinren was well-behaved and polite. She bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, everyone."
"No, we are just clerks, not adults." The three men politely returned the greeting, then smiled and put their arms around Wang Xian's shoulders to prevent him from escaping: "Come on, let your sister walk around the garden by herself. There seems to be a poetry competition over there, let's go and join in the fun!"
Wang Xiandun turned around and looked at Song Jin.
Although there is no separation between men and women at Jinming Lake, men usually sit on the east side to compete in poetry, play horse racing and drink, while women sit on the west side to enjoy the flowers, eat snacks and chat.
Wang Xian wanted to stay with Song Jin all the time, but some things were indeed not very convenient.
Hearing this, Song Jin quickly took the food box from Wang Xian and said, "Brother Wang, go ahead. I'll go deliver the cakes to Madam Lin first. I can take care of the rest by myself!"
There were three people waiting nearby, so Wang Xian had no choice but to agree.
He only reminded her: "We will go back together in the afternoon, just wait for me here."
Song Jin nodded quickly.
The three looked at Wang Xian and said with a smile, "Don't waste time, there will be too many people soon!"
As he spoke, Wang Xian was grabbed by three men and taken away.
As he walked, he did not forget to look back at Song Jin frequently.
Only when he could no longer see Wang Xian did Song Jin breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now in the car, she was really afraid that Brother Wang would say what he didn't say that night.
She will definitely refuse.
But it's awkward.
Song Jin was thinking that more and more people were gathering around him.
She quickly picked up the food box and headed towards a large rock on the west side with the word "Beautiful" written on it.
There were many people at Jinming Lake today. Fortunately, many young girls had come here several times. Song Jin asked along the way and soon found the big rock.
This place is right next to the inner lake in the garden.
She stood here, the wind from the lake gently blew her hair, and the girl's pretty face was as beautiful as spring.
Many young people saw this scene across the lake.
They all asked around who this young lady was from.
Song Jin didn't have to wait long before Sister Chun Xing arrived.
Song Jin was waiting for someone. When she saw someone coming, she smiled and greeted him, "Sister Chun Xing."
"You come quite early, little girl." Mrs. Lin and the others had just sat down in the warm room when Chun Xing came to get some pastries.
Song Jin lowered her head and smiled. She handed the food box to Chun Xing: "I just made this this morning. These are all the flavors that Madam Lin used to like. Don't worry, sister."
Chun Xing opened the food box, took a look, and nodded with satisfaction. She looked at Song Jin and found that the girl had dressed up specially today.
She smiled and said, "You are right to come today. This bustling scene only happens once a year. It is much better than you guarding your small shop. You can make money at any time, but you don't see the bustling scene often."
Song Jin lowered his head and smiled shyly.
She was too embarrassed to reveal her true purpose.
He just said, "I am also curious about what this Jinming Lake looks like, so I came to take a look."
Chun Xing looked Song Jin up and down.
After such a long period of contact, she knew that Song Jin was a good girl and would not cause trouble, so she pulled her towards the warm room.
"Sister will take you to a nice place. The scenery is a hundred times better than here!"
Song Jin looked at the direction Chun Xing was taking her, which was exactly the place Wang Xian had just said that noble people were often seen.
She whispered: "Sister Chun Xing, can I go in there?"
"It's okay, I'll take you in. You don't have to go into the warm room, just look at the corridor outside." Chun Xing trusted Song Jin very much.
Chun Xing had followed Madam Lin for many years and knew that she was kind to others, and she also knew Song Jin.
Bring Song Jin in, Mrs. Lin won’t be angry.
Song Jin originally wanted to refuse, but the further he went inside, the more open the scenery became, so Song Jin no longer refused.
There aren't many opportunities like this.
Chun Xing brought Song Jin all the way to the pavilion, then turned around and left, telling Song Jin to stay here and watch as long as he wanted.
If you are bored, you can leave on your own.
Song Jin nodded obediently. She sat by the fence on the pavilion, quietly leaning her head to look at the scenery in the distance.
I have to admit that the scenery here is really good.
Just now Song Jin was just looking at the scenery in the Jinming Lake Garden, but now, she went up to the warm pavilion and sat in the pavilion, gazing into the distance.
The entire Jinming Lake scenery is in full view.
Song Jin couldn't help but sigh.
If you step out of the scenery and look at it from a different perspective, the people in the garden will also become the scenery.
The various figures in the painting are very interesting.
and……
Song Jin has good eyesight and the place is not too high, so Song Jin can just see the faces and figures of the young men clearly.
Soon, she saw several that she liked.
She pursed her lips and continued to look into the crowd intently.
[Well, this boy is pretty good!] He is tall, but why does he have a mole on his face? No, no. 】
[Huh?] This is fine! My God, why is he wearing such thick shoes? How short is he? 】
[Ohhhh, this is great! That's not right! Why is he kissing the girl next to him? Ahhhhh, so exciting! 】
【……】
At the same time, a carriage slowly stopped outside the Jinmingchi Garden.
Xie Zheng looked at his brother who had been silent all the way, and felt depressed. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Brother, can you at least say something? You're sitting here like a dead person, it's creepy."
After Xie Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Xie Qiao who was sitting opposite him.
Xie Qiao was seen wearing a plain brocade robe with only a white jade hairpin on his head. The only color on his body was the yellow brocade bag he wore around his waist.
He looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about the people or things in front of him.
Xie Zheng frowned as he watched.
Ever since Xie Qiao came back from Chongzhou, he has been acting like a widower. He won't listen to anyone and is even more difficult to get along with than before.
Even when my mother tried to find a marriage partner for my brother a while ago, he directly rejected the offer. He even said that if my mother wanted to have a grandson, she might as well find someone she liked in the clan and adopt him.
My brother is the head of the Xie family, and his words are his law.
These words made my mother so angry that she hasn't seen my brother for a long time.
Late last night, his mother secretly called him back and said that she had arranged for his brother to meet a noble lady at the Spring Banquet, and asked him to bring his brother to Jinming Lake tomorrow.
He originally wanted to refuse, he didn't dare to offend his brother.
But then he thought about it and felt that this was not a good idea, so he found an excuse to bring his brother out today.
This way I can not only explain to my mother, but also take my brother out to relax.
Maybe at the Spring Banquet, my brother will find someone he likes.
After hearing Xie Zheng's words, Xie Qiao put down the book in his hand and looked up at Xie Zheng.
He said coldly: "Why did you call me out today?"
Xie Zheng has been afraid of Xie Qiao since he was a child. Hearing Xie Qiao's question, he shrank his neck and lied, "It's because my wife's friend is here for a blind date today, and she came here to help take a look. You know, the men who come to the Spring Banquet are dressed like peacocks. If my wife falls in love with someone else, I will have to become a monk with you."
Xie Qiao glanced at Xie Zheng coldly.
Xie Zheng was even more afraid, and he continued, "Brother, you can just sit in the warm room, but if I'm really angry and want to hit someone today, you can stop me from the side, otherwise my wife will be angry when she goes back."
Xie Qiao closed his eyes slightly.
Don't want to pay attention to him anymore.
As they were talking, the carriage had already arrived at Jinming Lake.
Xie Zheng took Xie Qiao and entered through the door that only nobles could enter in the past, and soon they arrived at the warm room.
This warmth was something Xie Zheng had prepared long ago. The location here was secluded and no one would come to disturb him, which was exactly what his brother liked.
Xie Zheng settled Xie Qiao down and said, "Brother, just wait here. I'll go out and look for someone."
After that, Xie Qiao was thrown into the warm room by someone.
Fortunately, the warm room was quiet and Xie Qiao didn't find it noisy.
His face was calm and he looked at the spring scenery outside the window with cold eyes, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
His heart seemed to have been frozen in the winter night in Chongzhou.
Just seeing the spring scenery in the garden, he couldn't help but think of Song Jin.
If his little wife were still alive, she would definitely open her eyes wide in surprise when looking at such a scenery and say that Kyoto is wealth.
But……
Xie Qiao subconsciously picked up the brocade bag on his waist and kept rubbing it.
She's not here now.
She will never be here again.
Even after nearly a year, he could still imagine what Song Jin looked like.
But he was a little scared.
He is getting older and older. What will he do if one day he can no longer remember what Song Jin looks like?
This year, he tried his best to find out who the man in black was that night. As he expected, it was from the Zheng family and the King of Qi.
He had wanted to tear the King of Qi into pieces with his own hands countless times, but the current situation did not allow that.
He is Song Jin's husband, but he is also the head of the Xie family and an important official in the court.
He can't act rashly.
But he was sure that one day, one day it would come.
He will definitely get rid of the King of Qi himself.
As Xie Qiao thought about it, his eyes were filled with sharp frost.
His cold fingers tightly grasped the faded brocade bag. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the warmth of the brocade bag.
It was like holding tightly onto the girl's admiration.
This is Song Jin's wish, she wants to be in tune with her own thoughts.
The girl's voice echoed in his ears countless times.
Those things that were once so close are now nowhere to be found.
He looked coldly at the lively boys and girls outside the window, feeling as if he and they were in a different world.
If possible, he would like to go to another place, perhaps to hear Song Jin's voice again.
As he thought of this, the sachet in his hand seemed to feel slightly warm.
at the same time.
Suddenly, a vague word floated into his ears:
[Hey!] This young man has a nice waist and a handsome face. It seems that he can have sex several times a night. He is really a good husband material! 】
