Chapter 210: Yanshan

Previous Chapter

"What are you talking nonsense?!"

Seeing Jiang Lin speaking so violently, Shen Cang also knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly changed his words: "It's a subordinate who has lost his words, his subordinate Shen Cang, please say hello to Jiang Xiaoyi." ”

As he spoke, he bowed to Jiang Xuanyue.

He knew that Jiang Lin had no ill intentions, after all, Jiang Xuanyue was no longer a girl from the Yi'an Bofu family, even if they were cousins and brothers, but Jiang Xuanyue was now in the Heavenly Family, how could she be so close to Shen Cang?

Jiang Xuanyue silently clenched the fingers hidden under her sleeves, glanced at Shen Cang deeply, and said, "It's okay, you can get up." ”

Since entering the palace, everyone has called her Jiang Xiaoyi, and no one has ever called her name, and now Shen Cang's cousin made Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly remember the days when she had not yet entered the palace.

But after all, it's a big dream.

There's no going back.

Jiang Xiyue had the heart to say a few words to Shen Cang, but there were others around her, and she was now a woman in Mingjin, if she was too close to others, it would inevitably be gossip.

Even one or two gossip is enough to make people doomed.

Therefore, although Jiang Xiyue had a lot of thoughts in her heart, her expression was still very cold, she only glanced at Shen Cang, and said coldly: "You all retreat." ”

Shen Cang was surprised by Jiang Xuyue's changes, but he also knew that now was not the time to catch up, so he had no choice but to say, "Yes, my subordinates will retire." ”

Seeing Shen Cang leaving, Jiang Xiangyue sighed heavily, looked at the back of Shen Cang's departure, and suddenly remembered all the things when he was carefree at home when he was a child, but now he is in prison and can no longer break free.

On the side, Fang'er saw Jiang Xuanyue looking at Shen Cang's back, so she lowered her head slightly and remembered this scene in her heart.

......

Fang'er told Concubine Min what she had seen.

After hearing this, a sneer appeared on her face, and she watched the sun sink outside the window, and her face seemed to gradually become gloomy, and said, "What a Jiang Xuanyue, she actually has a personal relationship with the palace guards!"

Fang'er was startled, and hurriedly said: "Jiang Xiaoyi is not having a personal relationship with the guard, I heard that the guard's name is Shen Cang, and Jiang Xiaoyi is a cousin, so this is the case." ”

Concubine Min's face was gloomy: "Cousin?"

Fang'er nodded: "Yes." ”

Concubine Min looked up at the sky outside the window, and her mind seemed to return to the day when the wind and snow were coming, so she secretly clenched her fingers.

She is in the palace, and she is a person who seems to be nothing.

Ming Jin will not think of her easily, and there are only a few days when she will turn over her brand in a few months, and Ming Jin is always light as water when facing Min Concubine, but even so, Min Concubine still looks forward to Ming Jin coming, even if it is just to get along with her for a while.

On that day, Ming Jin finally turned over her brand.

She stood in front of the hall with joy, waiting for the arrival of Mingjin with a group of palace maids.

But until the sky is getting dark, the snowflakes are falling, and the whole palace is paved like a silver wrap, Min Concubine has never waited, and the palace maids around her have persuaded Min Concubine to go back to the palace to wait, but Min Concubine is obsessed to wait in front of the palace gate.

But the more I waited, the colder my heart became.

The palace maid next to her said to Concubine Min that Ming Jin should have stayed in the Moon Picking Hall tonight and would not come.

But Concubine Min was unwilling, she gritted her teeth and asked, "How can you be in the Moon Picking Palace?

If Ming Jin went to the palace of the queen or Concubine Rou and others, Concubine Min might be relieved, after all, she was also insignificant until she was insignificant and could not be compared with the two mothers, but now why would Ming Jin rather stay in an uninhabited palace than be with her?

Impossible......

The palace maid beside her looked at Concubine Min cautiously and said, "I heard that it is...... The emperor fell in love with a palace maid in the Caiyue Palace, should not come tonight, Niangniang should go back to rest early, the wind is strong and the weather is cold, Niangniang is careful to get cold, if he is sick, the emperor will not turn over Niangniang's brand. ”

Concubine Min didn't want to go back, but the sentence "I won't turn over the brand" poked Concubine Min's heart, and she hurriedly tightened her sleeves so as not to let the cold wind pour into her neckline, but even so, her heart was getting colder and colder.

Concubine Min's voice seemed to contain the fine ice floes on the surface of the river: "Is it true that the emperor won't come over tonight?"

The palace maid was a little unbearable, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, Niangniang, go back and rest, the emperor will not come tonight." ”

The original joy was extinguished in an instant.

And the next day, Ming Jin seemed to finally remember Min Concubine and ordered the guards to send something to Min Concubine, but Min Concubine looked at the splendid scenery sent by the guards, but she still couldn't stop feeling cold.

Thinking of this, Min Concubine deeply pinched her fingers into her palm.

She must let Jiang Xiyue die.

......

In the early morning of the next day, there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going on the street, and Li Jiancheng and Huayi walked on the street.

"Hey, is Brother Jiancheng back?"

On the porridge shop on the street, a teenager called Li Jiancheng.

The young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked thoughtful, with a kind and gentle smile on his face, and was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Li Jiancheng stopped and looked at him with a shallow smile: "It's been a long time." ”

"yes. The young man laughed heartily and pulled Li Jiancheng to sit down in the shop, "But I haven't seen Brother Jiancheng for more than half a month, so it's better to have breakfast here and go." ”

Li Jiancheng did not shirk, and sat down in the shop generously, and the young man quickly brought a bowl of porridge over and sat opposite Li Jiancheng.

"Brother Jiancheng, let me tell you a strange thing. ”

"You say. ”

"About half an hour ago, my mother and I had just packed up and were about to open the shop, when a madman rushed in. "As soon as the madman came in, he rushed into my shop, and broke a few of the bowls in my shop, and kept shouting that there were ghosts, and shouted that he had met a ghost on Yanshan." ”

Half an hour ago, ...... a ghost in Yanshan?

Huayi curled up lazily aside, and couldn't help but think of the coachman he met at night, thinking that the madman in his mouth was the coachman nine times out of ten.

Li Jiancheng took a sip of porridge and said casually: "I was probably scared by the beasts in the mountains." ”

"That's what I told him, but he insisted that he had met a ghost, no, now he went directly to the yamen, saying that he wanted to tell the magistrate. The young man laughed, "Where are the ghosts in this blue sky and white day, Brother Jiancheng, you say yes?"

Hearing this, Huayi couldn't help but want to laugh, this blue sky and white sun, not only are there ghosts, but they are also close at hand.

Li Jiancheng also smiled: "This is nature. ”

As he was talking and laughing, he saw a servant pushing the man out not far away.

"Go, go, what the hell is not a ghost, don't bluff people here!" a servant pushed him impatiently, "How can the county magistrate have time to talk to you about these nonsense?"

"Yes, even if there are really ghosts, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!"

That man was the coachman on Yanshan last night.

"There really is a ghost!" he sweated profusely, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Yanshan, "I can see clearly, the ghost crawled out of the Yanshan cemetery, his nails are several inches long, and his hands are covered with blood......"

And so on and so forth.

Let the flower clothes can't help but laugh.

He said that the sound and color of the ground could not help but attract pedestrians.

Suddenly, a woman said timidly: "I also met a ghost before." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" someone interrupted.

"Really!" the woman seemed to be in shock, "just a few days ago, when Juan'er and I were in the river with Huanyi, we saw a headless ghost in the water, and my body was already swollen, I didn't dare to look closely, so I hurriedly ran back." ”

Juan'er also said on the side: "Yes, I also saw it." ”

"Really?"

When one person said so, others only regarded it as a joke, but when the two talked about it, some people inevitably began to be suspicious.

"Could it be that there are really ghosts in Wild Goose City?"

"Okay, okay, what nonsense are they talking about, even if there are really ghosts, they don't dare to come out in broad daylight, they all disperse. The official waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

And they dispersed.

The coachman turned his head and suddenly saw Li Jiancheng.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Li Jiancheng's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, if it weren't for the early morning sun shining on his face, he was afraid that he would be regarded as a ghost.

Although, he is.

Li Jiancheng just looked at him calmly, with a light and gentle smile on his face.

The coachman's gaze swept over Li Jiancheng's hand, and finally fixed on Li Jiancheng's face, but he still couldn't see anything.

"I don't believe there are ghosts in this world. The young man smiled and said to Li Jiancheng, "It's mostly a rumor, just scaring yourself." ”

Li Jiancheng also nodded: "Not bad." ”

The coachman walked into the porridge shop and was sitting on the table opposite Li Jiancheng.

He swallowed a little and said to the boy, "Bring me a bowl of porridge." ”

The young man got up and couldn't help complaining: "I still want porridge, and I broke our bowl just now." ”

Having said this, he still scooped porridge for him.

The coachman said slightly: "I'm sorry, I was really frightened before, I will pay you." ”

"Forget it, it's just a few bowls, and it's not worth much. The boy waved his hand, and when other guests were coming, he went to entertain him.

The coachman lowered his head and drank porridge, and suddenly saw the flower clothes beside Li Jiancheng, so he asked, "This little flower snake...... Did you raise it?"

Li Jiancheng smiled: "Yes, I met by chance before, and I have been keeping it by my side." ”

"It seems familiar to me. The coachman stared at Huayi, "It seems that I have seen it somewhere." ”

The coachman's gaze was aggressive, which made Huayi a little uncomfortable, so she shrank behind Li Jiancheng and couldn't do anything.

"There are more little flower snakes in this world, I guess I have seen them somewhere. Li Jiancheng said casually, "I heard that there are many snakes on Yanshan, and it is not surprising that you come from Yanshan and feel that the flower snake is familiar." ”

The coachman asked again, "How long have you been raising this flower snake?"

"Twenty years. ”

The coachman couldn't help but be stunned: "You look only in your twenties, this flower snake has been raised by your side since childhood?"

In this regard, Li Jiancheng just smiled noncommittally.

There was a moment of silence.

Li Jiancheng drank the porridge, got up and looked at the young man, and said, "Wei Jia, I'll go first." ”

The young Wei Jia was cleaning up the table, and nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, Brother Jiancheng will walk slowly, and he will come often when he is free in the future." ”

As soon as he walked out of the porridge shop, he heard a voice from the shop.

"Jia'er, come here. ”

"Got it, mother, I'm coming. ”
