Spring Banquet Chapter 54: Two letters
novelmao.com, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Spring Festival Banquet!
At first I heard the quiet tune of the forest in the mountains and temples, and then I heard the scent of incense in front of the Buddha. This thick scent of Sanskrit was a meeting gift given to him by the Baihua Monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth year of Daxing. The entire Northern Wei Dynasty was only ink. Unique to Curie.
The ink-colored pupils shrank slightly, Jiang Xuanjin twisted her eyebrows, and took out another letter from Sun Qing and sniffed.
No, the letterhead I just brought in not long ago will not be so permeated by the fragrance in the room under normal circumstances.
Unless the letter paper is always in this room.
Finger slowly froze on the letter paper, Jiang Xuanjin looked down, carefully and slowly looking at the two letters in front of him, a thought flashed in his heart, and he firmly rejected it.
Impossible, Danyang is dead. This is her handwriting, which can only be written during her lifetime.
If someone imitates deliberately, he can tell at a glance.
But… how do you explain this scent?
Always awake in his mind, there is a bit of chaos right now, he shook his head and pinched his eyebrows fiercely.
There were cheerful footsteps outside the door.
Jiang Xuanjin returned to her senses, tucked two letters into her sleeves, turned around and raised her eyes.
“Hey, what are you doing over there?” She came in, smiled and pulled him, pulling and frowning, “Why are your hands so cold?”
The soft fingers went into his fingers and clasped him tightly. The man in front of him was in a good mood, rubbing his thumb with his eyebrows, and said: “Wait for your calligraphy to be mounted, I will hang it here. In the house, see which young lady dare to come here in the future!”
Speaking, he took his hand and gestured towards the beam of the partition: “Just hang it here!”
Jiang Xuanjin slowly tightened her hand, and shook her instead, without answering.
“What?” Realizing something was wrong, Huaiyu blinked at him, “Aren’t you really angry?”
“Nothing.”
“What’s wrong with that? His face is also a little ugly.” He probed his forehead uneasy, Huaiyu muttered, “Don’t get sick again, the injury is just right. Our Moju is about to become a medicine hall. .”
Closed her eyes and was silent for a moment. When she raised her head again, Jiang Xuanjin returned to her normal state and whispered, “Would you give me a picture?”
“Huh?” Huaiyu was stunned, struggling quickly, “Didn’t I say that I can’t write?”
“I teach you.” Jiang Xuanjin stubbornly pulled her toward the desk, “Just write a few simple ones.”
Except for “one”, nothing else can be considered simple.
Li Huaiyu shook his head again and again, half-hugged him half the floor, and said coquettishly: “You are good-looking. It is fine to write it to me, but I can’t write it. If you write it, it will be laughable and generous. Besides, there is only one hanging on the top. Where are the calligraphy and painting, I will send you to you again, where do you put it?”
Jiang Xuanjin frowned: “You don’t want it?”
“It’s not unwilling, it’s…Oh!” With a twitch of the corner of his mouth, Huaiyu grabbed his hand and sneered, “I’m so sleepy, look at what time is this.”
Saotou on the moon, put it in the old days, it’s time to go to bed long ago.
The person in front of him pursed his lips slightly, looking a little unhappy.
Huaiyu calmly coaxed him with a temperless voice: “Don’t be angry. Although you are angry and moving, you still look better with a smile. Is it okay to sleep? Let’s leave it to you if you have anything to say.”
She was hugging her neck, her face was very close to her, and she could see her petting apricot eyes as soon as she raised her head.
Jiang Xuanjin looked down, stretched out her hand to support her waist, and said in a low voice after a long silence: “Go to sleep.”
“I’ll undress for you!” Secretly rejoicing and fooling around again, Huaiyu smiled and stretched out his claws toward his skirt.
Early the next morning.
Jiang Xuanjin went up, Huaiyu was idle and had nothing to do, so Qingsi asked Qingsi to find a piece of Supa and embroidered on her head crookedly.
“Wow!”
Qing Si was standing beside her, listening to this voice was not strange, she only vomited a number calmly: “Five.”
I got my hand for the fifth time, Huaiyu was very angry, holding the veil and throwing it on the ground: “This thing really doesn’t suit me!”
When I was a child, which mother in the palace dared to let her learn embroidery as a female worker, she wanted to chase people out of the three palaces with a needle! Who would dare to let her take this embroidered needle of Laoshi?
But…think about Jiang Xuanjin’s unhappy expression last night, she gritted her teeth, bent down and picked up the veil.
Qingsi’s eyes are extremely complicated: “You can send me something farewell.”
Others are embroidering, and this highness is stab meat at all.
“Didn’t he want words?” Huaiyu hummed angrily, “I can’t write, I always embroider.”
It’s ugly, but she embroidered two more layers, so she can always see the strokes of the characters clearly, right?
After a few jabs, Huaiyu picked up the veil and looked at it, nodding satisfied, and then embroidered.
“The palace banquet in mid-August is coming soon.” Qingsi whispered, “You can still enjoy the moon in the palace this year.”
Thinking of this, Huaiyu’s eyes lit up slightly: “It just so happens that the things in Mingshan Palace should also be destroyed. Keep it there forever, maybe something will go wrong when it comes.”
“You go get it?” Qingsi frowned, her expression very disapproving.
“Only I can enter the palace with Ziyang Jun. Who else can do this?” Huaiyu chuckled, “Without the princess, Lu Jing can’t go to the palace, and Han Xiao even went to Mingshan Palace. I don’t even know the road.”
The “Long Princess Party” that was able to sit all over the table in the past is now a mess. What she can do on her own, don’t bother them anymore.
Looking at the look of Qingsi next to her, Huaiyu calmed down and said: “You don’t need to be too nervous, Mingshan Palace is a cold palace, and no one goes there on weekdays. Even if I dig through the ground, no one will notice it.”
She said so, and Qing Si stopped persuading her, she just lowered her eyes and stood quietly to the side.
With the evidence of two letters and Sun Qing’s confession, Jiang Xuanjin went directly to the prime minister’s house with Liu Yunlie, wanting to confront Qi Han.
However, the butler of the Prime Minister’s Mansion actually said: “Unfortunately, the Lord took the imperial order the day before yesterday and went to the East County for inspection. I might have to return in a few days.”
When did you go? Liu Yunlie was at a loss, and Jiang Xuanjin frowned. They didn’t hear the wind. They hadn’t seen anyone on the front in the past two days. They thought that Qi Han was on vacation, but who knew he was out of Beijing!
“What to do?” Liu Yunlie asked.
What else can I do? Jiang Xuanjin turned around and left.
I can’t ask questions, I can only wait for Qi Han to return to Beijing. The evidence is complete, so I am not afraid to wait longer.
When I returned to Tingwei’s Mansion, I passed several newly opened shops, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the street, and there were many onlookers.
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at it, slightly curious: “At the same time, three stores open together?”
Liu Yunlie is not surprised: “Lu Ji’s shop has always been like this. They have a strong mutual momentum, and the people are happy to watch the excitement.”
Lu Ji? Jiang Xuanjin squinted: “Lu Jingxing?”
“Who else besides him?” Liu Yunlie shook his head with a hand, “His business is getting bigger and bigger. I thought that without the support of the princess, he would be able to suppress him by two points. Who knows that this person is very cunning. I left a few shops to avoid the government’s troubles, and reopened here.”
Let him operate for two more years, and I am afraid that half of Kyoto will fall into his hands.
The fireworks lit by firecrackers filled half the street. Jiang Xuanjin looked at it coldly, and saw Lu Jingxing wearing a soft silver snow silk robe under the red silk plaque, shaking his fan and coming out of the shop toward the door. People smiled and said something, those people who clapped their hands to watch the excitement heard it, cheered and walked into the store.
“Do you still want to see?” Liu Yunlie retracted his gaze, “Go back to Tingwei’s Mansion soon, there is still work to be done.”
“You go back first.”
Liu Yunlie was startled, before he had time to ask why, the person in front of him had already walked towards Lu Jing.
His eyes moved slightly, Liu Yunlie didn’t turn around and left. He watched him say a few words with Lu Jingxing before entering the shop. After thinking about it, he followed.
Today’s new store opened, Lu Jingxing was in a good mood. He smiled when he saw the man in front of him with a serious face, squinting his eyes: “What? Where did you offend the Lord?”
In a secluded cafe with no one beside, Jiang Xuanjin took out the two letters and placed them directly in front of him.
The exact same “Prime Blind Date” on the cover made Lu Jingxing smile.
There was a bad sound in the secret road, he fanned his eyes and frowned slightly.
“Do you want to explain?” Jiang Xuanjin asked.
“This…Is there any explanation? His Royal Highness wrote two letters just in case.” He said.
Picking up the newer one, Jiang Xuanjin sneered: “March 27th, your Highness has already passed away. When did she write the last one?”
“Is this important?” Lu Jingxing put down his fan and looked at him with a puzzled face, “What does the Lord care about? This letter is true and not false. Even if there are two identical letters, please feel free to Take a copy…”
“This letter was let go by Mo Curie.” Interrupting him, Jiang Xuanjin said, “And it’s a long time.”
Listening to his affirmative tone, Lu Jingxing’s body tensed, and his mind turned quickly.
“What’s so strange about this?” He settled on his decision, and he said, “This letter was brought by Qingsi from the palace. Isn’t she in Moju now?”
Qingsi? It was placed in Mo Curie early in the morning, but it turned around and used Lu Jingxing’s hand to give him the letter. What’s this?
Looking at Lu Jingxing gloomily, Jiang Xuanjin gently buckled the tabletop: “I hate being calculated.”
These two letters are as weird as a conspiracy.
“Who is calculating you?” Lu Jingxing said in an angry manner, “I don’t want to help you? You want to reverse the case for Danyang, and I also want to see that case is reversed, mutual help and mutual benefit, what calculations are you talking about?” /
“Do you really just want to help?” Jiang Xuanjin didn’t believe it, “Danyang is already awkward, and your Excellency is a businessman who is accustomed to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so wandering through the muddy waters so painstakingly, if you just want to reverse the case, it doesn’t seem to be a good deal. “
When he heard these words, Lu Jingxing’s face fell.
“Jiang Xuanjin.” He said coldly, “How much do you know about Danyang and me?”
“Not much.” Jiang Xuanjin said, “I often see Your Excellency in the palace, and I know that Your Excellency often hangs out with her.”
With a sneer, Lu Jingxing closed the fan on the table, looked up at him and said: “In Daxing three years, I was calculated by my counterpart in the industry, and I lost half of Lu Ji’s country. When I was upset, I was traveling and met the princess.”
At that time, Lord Pingling was still there, Li Huaiyu’s life was not easy, and the sadness on his face was no less than that of him. The two of them fought in the restaurant because of the last jar of wine, and the last one took a bite and sat in the alley together. .
“I am a businessman.” He said at the time.
“Oh.” She nodded, took a sip of wine and handed him the jar, “I am a princess.”
Ben was still bored, but when he heard this, he smiled: “You are a princess, and I am still an emperor.”
“The emperor is only ten years old, you are a little older,” she said.
Lu Jingxing stopped smiling, looked at her blankly, and found that this girl was really noble, dressed in regular clothes, but embroidered with the pattern of Yaochi peony, a golden flower between her brows, and her lips were as red as blood.
Detecting his gaze, she kicked over and cursed: “What do you look at!”
The kick was so powerful that he almost couldn’t stand firm. Lu Jingxing snorted, and muttered with a complex expression: “What about bullshit, whose princess is as rude as you.”
“There are more rude ones. Would you like to try?” She picked up the wine jar and held it above his head.
Lu Jingxing turned around and was about to run.
“Hey.” Li Huaiyu called to him, half drunk and half awake, “What is your name? Let my palace know if you tell it, maybe I can help you.”
Stopping, he looked back at her and he didn’t really think that this person could help him, but he still said: “Lu Li, Zi Jingxing.”
“The mountain raises its head, Jing Xing stops?” She raised her eyebrows and laughed, “You seem to be indifferent, do you still look at the mountain?”
Lu Jingxing said with a black face: “Has anyone taught you that you can’t laugh at other people’s names in person?”
“No!” She answered confidently, dug her ears and walked staggeringly, and stuffed the wine jar in his hand with a smile, “You drink!”
“I don’t…hey?” Just about to say that he stopped drinking, the man in front of him fell straight down. He quickly threw the wine jar to catch her, and the jar smashed to the ground with a crisp sound. The scent filled the alley instantly.
In fact, Lu Jingxing wanted to throw her directly on the pile of debris and leave, but look at her like this, she was really placed here, and she might be taken lightly by someone else, and he moved her with a kind heart. Back home.
Later, he learned that Qingsi was following in the dark at that time. If he had any bad behavior, there would be no later big shopkeeper Lu.
Fortunately, he was well-behaved at the time, caring for her all night, and then sent her to the carriage the next day.
“There will be some time later!” She smiled and waved.
Lu Jingxing also waved his hand, but he thought in his heart: It’s still going to be indefinite!
The treasurer against the family is very powerful. Someone in the court has bullied Lu Ji into concession, even put him in a trap and put him in jail. Lu Jingxing had always been doing business, and he would not “collusion between officials and businessmen” at that time. He stayed in prison, thinking that he was going to stay for several years.
However, the next day, he was released. The officer unlocked his shackles and motioned him to go outside.
Lu Jingxing was puzzled and walked out the gate of the jail in a daze. He saw Li Huaiyu standing outside with his hips akimbo. When he saw him coming out, he cursed: “Is this brain still in business? Why go home to farm and raise pigs?”
He looked at her blankly, not knowing why. She came forward, dragged him and walked out: “Anyone, Jing Zhaoyin, can bully you like this? Go! I’ll support you!”
Looking at the long guard of honor behind her, Lu Jingxing finally realized that this person did not lie, she really seemed to be a princess.
It’s just a bit rude.
With the backing of this rude princess, Lu Ji fought back. In just two months, he not only recovered the lost shops and goods, but also closed several stores on the run.
“Isn’t it just collusion between officials and businessmen?” Li Huaiyu took him and squatted at the closed door of Hou Ji, and stretched out his hand to give him a chicken leg, “I teach you what is true collusion between officials and businessmen!”
I helped him so much, but he didn’t ask him for anything in return. He just said these things casually, drinking wine and eating chicken legs with him.
“My boredom is gone.” He looked at her deeply and asked, “What about yours?”
“Don’t worry.” Li Huaiyu waved his hand carelessly, “I can solve it myself.”
Speaking lightly, he later heard that she and Mr. Pingling had fought you to death and almost lost your life several times.
He is just a businessman and he can’t help at all.
He stretched out his hand and poured half a cup of tea for Jiang Xuanjin in front of him. Lu Jingxing asked, “Do you know what it feels like to be helpless?”
Jiang Xuanjin looked down: “I haven’t tasted it.”
“Haha, Ziyang Jun, who is in full control, naturally has never tasted that taste, but I know it very well.” Putting down the teapot, he said, “You can see this person every day, she smiles at you, and You punch and drink, you know that she is in a difficult situation, but she can’t do anything, she can only watch like a fool.”
“Now that I finally have a chance to help her, why are you asking me the pros and cons?”
“I’m a businessman, but can’t a businessman be a human being?”
At the end of his speech, he was slightly agitated, Jiang Xuanjin was silent. He really only regarded these two people as friends of wine and meat before, and he never thought there would be such a past.
“That’s it.” He said, “It’s my lord who cares too much.”
Although these two letters are weird, they are indeed aimed at helping him. If Qing Si really hid the letter in the main house, it would count as life, and it would not be surprising that there is fragrance in the letter.
The frowning brows finally let go, Jiang Xuanjin got up and planned to leave.
“Hey.” Lu Jingxing called to him, “How is Zhuji going well?”
Turning her head back unhappily, Jiang Xuanjin said: “Your Excellency has a very close friendship with the eldest princess, but why are you so concerned about others?”
Nonsense, these two people are the same, so of course I need to be concerned about the friendship. Lu Jingxing curled his lips and saw that he didn’t mean to say anything, he waved his hand and said, “When I didn’t ask.”
Jiang Xuanjin sneered, and left without going to the Tingwei Mansion, and went straight back to Moju.
I felt that she suspected the wrong person. For the next two days, Jiang Xuanjin stayed in Mo Curie to accompany Bai Zhuji, allowing her to molest her, with a very tolerant attitude.
At one time, Huaiyu felt that it was raining red in the sky. He stretched out his head from the window to look, and whispered: “It’s too rare, isn’t it?”
Stretched out her hand to drag her back, Jiang Xuanjin said: “Haosheng changed clothes.”
There is a dinner in the palace tonight, and the old man sent a few sets of dresses for them to choose early in the morning. Huaiyu looked back and found that Jiang Xuanjin had changed into a silver woven robe with wide sleeves embroidered with cranes, and she was tall and straight, Huamao Chunsong.
For a moment of stunned, she suddenly thought, what would a person like this look like if he had a child?
Seeing her standing still, Jiang Xuanjin gently shook her head, stretched out her hand, and fastened the laces on her waist one by one.
“There are many people at the palace banquet, follow me, don’t get lost.”
“Yeah.” Replied casually, Huaiyu touched the embroidered pattern on his chest with all his heart.
Why do others embroider so beautiful? She is so serious, and in just four words, she hasn’t finished embroidering yet.
Gently patted her hand away, Jiang Xuanjin curled her eyebrows: “You have to be more regular when you enter the palace.”
“I know!” She smiled back to her senses, and Huaiyu hugged his arm and walked out with him.
“Master.” Qing Si called to her in a low voice.
Huaiyu turned her head and saw that she gave her a relieved gesture.
Is everything arranged? Huaiyu nodded and continued to look forward nonchalantly.
The Xi Le Palace is very large, it is a place specially used by the royal family for banquets, not far from Mingshan Palace. As soon as the Jiang family arrived, the inside became more lively. Many people came up to greet each other one by one, and after a while, they scattered the Jiang family.
Huaiyu has been following Jiang Xuanjin all the time. He is responsible for talking to people, and she is responsible for eating the things on the table in front of her, with clear division of labor and pleasant cooperation.
However, it didn’t take long for these great court officials to take advantage of the full moon festival and start to persuade them to drink.
I vaguely remember that Jiang Xuanjin’s drink volume is not very good. Looking at the wine Xu Xian in front of him, Huaiyu is very protective of the interior: “Master Yun Han is still sitting here, how can the general let the king drink first?”
Xu Xian raised her eyebrows: “Mrs. Jun won’t even let him drink any wine?”
“It’s not that you don’t want to drink, you have to have a rule.” Li Huaiyu is very proficient in dealing with this group of people. “Master Yun has just been promoted. Yu Qing, do you have to have a drink with him first?” /
Makes sense! Xu Xian immediately looked at Yun Lanqing, who looked at the Madam Jun with a complicated expression, and drank from the cup.
“Okay!” Han Xiao clapped and applauded stupidly.
Yun Lanqing was so angry that he said, “What’s so good? Should you drink it too?”
“Why?” Han Xiao puzzled.
Holding the wine bottle and putting it in front of him, Yun Lanqing said: “I don’t worry about you less on weekdays. Why do you ask you to have a drink?”
Is this too? Han Xiao nodded, and then poured a glass honestly.
They were all here to toast him, but now they are killing each other. Jiang Xuanjin looked funny, and thought this group of people was actually quite interesting.
However, even if Huaiyu held off the wine for him, there were too many people at the palace banquet, and he had to drink a few glasses. Jiang Xuanjin was silent after drinking two cups, and took her to a secluded place on the edge of the Joy Palace.
Huaiyu understood, half-helping him and asked: “Drunk?”
“No.” He replied stiffly.
With a low laugh, Li Huaiyu found a rockery for him to sit down, and said softly: “I’ll pour you a cup of tea, will you wait for me here?”
The full moon is high, the lanterns are shining brightly, and there is constant laughter at the banquet in the distance. Jiang Xuanjin looked at the person in front of him with drunken eyes and nodded her head obediently: “Okay.”
With a smile, he stretched out his hand and touched his head. Huaiyu couldn’t help but kissed him hard, and then left with his skirt.
If she was not drunk, Jiang Xuanjin could still realize that she was not walking the way back to the banquet, but he was drunk, and only remembered that she wanted him to wait here.
Then he waited.
Sitting upright, with his hands on his knees, little friend Jiang looked at the deserted road ahead, thinking about waiting for her to come back, so he had to praise him.
However, this time, he waited for a long time, and no one came back on the empty palace road in front of him.
