Chapter 027: Correspondence
Why there is a commotion on Jishan Street, Zheng Heng is of course very clear, and he is for Ji Yong.
It's just that why is the movement so big? Pei Ding wants to save Ji Yong, but he must be quiet. So, who else was there besides Pei Ding who acted on Jishan Street last night?
After listening to Yingzhen and others talk about the fire in the night sky, she guessed who else was in Jishan Street. The only people who dared to signal in the middle of the night were the people from the government.
In this way, the people in the government also discovered Ji Yong's whereabouts. Such a big movement must be the joint work of the two governments. As for the statement of arresting the bandits, only ordinary people would believe it, and Zheng Heng didn't believe it at all.
So, was Pei Ding's action fast enough? Did he save Ji Yong?
Zheng Heng did not have an answer to these. As for Jishan Street, she only knew that it was where the benevolent man lived, but how many people were there and what the specific situation was, so she didn't know what would happen to Ji Yong if she took it away.
Fortunately, Meng Ying was still in the Yongning Hou Mansion, and she only had to wait to know the answer.
What is the relationship between Ji Yong and the Meng family, this should be the reason why Ji Yong was forced to leave the Yudong Academy, and it is also the reason why the imperial court wants to find him. For this reason, even today is interested, who is not interested in the bottom?
The Pei family is naturally no exception. Pei Ding's subordinate named "Drunk" will always contact her, right?
Thinking of this, Zheng Heng's eyes lit up. "Poetry" cloud: "Both drunk with wine, full of virtue." Ten thousand years of gentlemen, Jieer Jingfu. Presumably, Pei Ding also has a subordinate named "full" by his side.
Being drunk and full is actually virtue and blessing. Such a name is meaningful......
Just thinking about it like this, a knock on the door sounded, and then she heard Ying Zhen say outside the door: "Girl, the second lady invited the girl to the front hall, and the Tao was from the Tiangongfang to send jewelry to the girl." ”
Hearing Ying Zhen say this, Zheng Heng smiled slightly. Jewelry ...... of Tiangongfang This is what was agreed in Qianhui Building yesterday, and this is the news sent by Pei Ding's people.
can send the news in such a timely manner, no matter whether Ji Yong is rescued or not, Pei Ding's actions are very fast, and she has found the right person.
After straightening his clothes, Zheng Heng left Changjian Temple, and his steps were still unhurried.
In the front hall, Xie Shi held the tea and carefully looked at the lady who claimed to be Tiangongfang, her face was very pleasant, and she looked very kind.
Tiangongfang, a shop specializing in making jewelry, is quite famous in Wenzhou. Many of the tributes sent to Jingzhao by the Wenzhou Thorn History Mansion came from the Heavenly Workshop, and the imperial court also awarded it a plaque of "Skillful Heavenly Workmanship".
The wives of Wenzhou officials, the jewelry worn on important occasions must be from the Heavenly Workshop. Now, on this day, the lady of the workshop said that she would send jewelry to Sister Heng?
The Xie family is now in charge of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and outsiders must first report to her about their visits. It stands to reason that the person who sent the jewelry could not easily enter the Yongning Marquis Mansion, but because it was a heavenly workshop, the Xie family let this lady in after a moment of hesitation.
She wanted to see what was going on with the jewelry. Sister Heng has just come out of filial piety, and she only left the house yesterday, even if she goes to Tiangongfang to customize jewelry, it will only be one day. Why did Tiangongfang send her jewelry so quickly?
When Zheng Heng came to the front hall, he saw Xie smiling so gently. And below her, there stood a simple-looking lady with a box in her hand.
Although this lady is standing, her waist is not bent, and she is neither humble nor arrogant.
The status of craftsmen in Daxuan is quite low, but Tiangongfang often makes jewelry for dignitaries, and the skills are refined to a certain extent, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Therefore, in the face of a family like Yongning Hou, this lady is generous, and she is hundreds of times stronger than Si Zhen in the palace.
An official's wife like Xie, no matter what occasion she attends, must have corresponding jewelry, and it is natural to rely on the Tiangongfang, so she will naturally not be arrogant to the lady of the Tiangongfang.
All the people in this world are actually transparent.
Seeing Zheng Heng coming, Xie Shi raised a smile and said, "Sister Heng is here, this is the lady of Tiangongfang, saying that you ordered jewelry there." Auntie doesn't know, Sister Heng come and see what kind of jewelry it is. ”
Xie Shi's words made Yingzhen and the other maids stunned. A few days ago, the second lady didn't have a girl in her eyes at all, how could she be so eager now?
Zheng Heng approached the lady and replied: "I went to the Tiangongfang yesterday, and I was just here to see what is fashionable now." No, the shopkeeper there said that my mother had ordered jewelry there before her death, so I sent them to send them today. ”
It takes time for the jewelry customization of the Tiangongfang to be made, and she went to the Tiangongfang yesterday, and the time was too late. But the rhetoric makes sense, it's all too easy.
Hearing these words, Xie's eyes remained unchanged, and he just said: "It turned out to be the jewelry customized by my sister-in-law, no wonder...... However, I have never heard of any jewelry that my sister-in-law has just ordered in Tiangong. ”
"Well, I don't know. That's what the shopkeeper told me. Zheng Heng's tone was still light.
The title of aunt, she couldn't call it anyway, so she simply didn't use any title.
The aunt of the mourning family, which old princess should be, it is estimated that there are not many who are still alive.
At this time, the lady of the Heavenly Workshop said, "Madam, it is like this. Because we also changed the shopkeeper more than three years ago, this jewelry was turned out not long ago. We were still thinking about when to send it to the house, and it happened that Miss Zheng went to Tiangongfang. Sorry for the delay, this time there is no charge for jewelry. ”
Since the Tiangongfang is ingenious, the cost of the jewelry in it is of course very high, and Xie was very surprised to hear that there is no fee.
Tiangongfang does not charge money, which is quite rare.
What kind of jewelry is it exactly?
At this moment, when the lady saw Zheng Heng coming, she naturally opened the jewelry box, and the jewelry inside appeared in front of everyone.
This is a jade hairpin, with gold wire wound in the middle, which is a very typical gold-inlaid jade jade hairpin. The material doesn't look like the precious Hetian and Kunlun are equal to jade.
It's so simple, and it's not expensive, it's indeed the style that Ning liked, who was born in the army.
The lady nodded to the golden place and said, "Girl, this jewelry has been ordered here, this matter is due to the delay of the Heavenly Workshop, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”
The lady took out a yellowed slip, which seemed to be some years old. Three or four years ago, it was.
Zheng Heng smiled, looked at the lady's fingers, and replied, "I know, there is labor." ”
She was about to tell Ying Zhen to take the jewelry box, when she heard Xie Shi say: "This jade hairpin looks very happy, let me see it." The sister-in-law's vision has always been very good. ”
In this way, she wants to see this jade hairpin. Perhaps, I want to find out what's wrong with this jade hairpin. The jade hairpin sent by Tiangongfang for no reason has already aroused her suspicions.
Zheng Heng nodded at the lady. There is nothing that can't be shown to Xie in this book, even if it is shown to Xie Shi, she can't see anything.
Sure enough, Xie took out the jade hairpin and put it in his hand to look at it carefully, but he couldn't see anything.
No matter how you look at it and how you weigh it, this is a jade hairpin that has always been very ordinary, not much different from what she has seen before.
Soon, Xie put the jade hairpin back in the jewelry box. Although she still felt a little strange in her heart, she couldn't find any reason to ignore this jade hairpin. She can't do such a thing as her niece's jewelry.
In this way, Zheng Heng took the jewelry sent by the Tiangongfang and returned to Changjian Temple slowly.
Ling Yingzhen and the others stayed outside the room, Zheng Heng took out this jade hairpin, and then ...... Fold the jade hairpin directly.
With a "snap" sound, the jade hairpin naturally became two. But if you look closely, the jade hairpin is hollow, and there is a note hidden inside.
This method of transmitting news, if it is in the palace, will definitely not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the palace maids. But the people in the Yongning Marquis Mansion are all ordinary people. Who else dares to break this jade hairpin?
is not ordinary, only Zheng Heng, a person who has lived for two lifetimes. She knows exactly how to deliver it.
This method was told to her by Pei Ding yesterday, saying that he would let someone from the Tiangong Workshop come to the door.
I don't know if the Tiangongfang is related to the Pei family, or if Pei Ding has found someone else to pretend to be the lady of the Tiangongfang.
In short, Zheng Heng received the information she wanted.
Ji Yong was rescued by the Pei family. The note also said that when Zheng Heng went to the school palace, someone would come to pick up Miss Meng. Someone will come to pick up Miss Meng later.
Looking carefully at the handwriting on the note, Zheng Heng smiled.
Now that Ji Yong is safe, there is no hurry.
In a few days, she will go to Yudong School Palace.
