Chapter 20 Jade Pendant, the Women's Guards are mighty
Su Qingluan saw that everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion had entered the jewelry store, so she also withdrew her gaze, and then Mei Ruohua's eyes saw the wooden box on the coffee table, and asked, "What is this, did you really bring me a gift to make amends?" Complaining that she was just joking, everyone knows that Su Qingluan is busy forming a women's personal guard team for a while, how can she not know the truth?
And seeing that she looks and is in good spirits now, much better than when she saw her when the prince got married, so Mei Ruohua felt that it was good to be busy with some things for her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su Qingluan smiled mysteriously, "You won't know if you open it." In fact, she really didn't know what was in this wooden box, "This is someone else's gift, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Someone else gave it? Mei Ruohua was a little puzzled, who would give him something but want to borrow Su Qingluan's hand? Thinking about it, Mei Ruohua reached out and opened the wooden box, the fine rosewood wooden box was covered with soft and smooth white brocade, and on the brocade was placed an egg-sized mutton fat jade pendant.
The oval-shaped jade pendant is carved out of a lifelike, leafy Qionghua tree, with petals floating down in the wind. Behind the Qionghua tree are the rolling mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist. Being able to carve such a delicate scene on such a small jade pendant shows that the jade carver is extraordinary. Turning over the other side, smooth as a mirror, with a line of small words engraved in the middle, "Falling flowers are independent, and micro swifts are flying." The font is elegant, and it can be seen that the character of the person who engraves the word should be as leisurely and indifferent as this word.
In Dajing, there are not a few people who love Qionghua, and Qionghua trees are planted in many places in Beijing. Mei Ruohua looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and knew in her heart who sent it. I couldn't help but see the sight of the man appearing in front of me for the first time.
There are also many Qionghua trees planted in Fuli Academy, and she always likes to rest under the trees in the afternoon during the flowering period every year. He stood under the tree, looking up at the bird's nest that had been built on the fork of the tree at some point, and the wind blew, and the flowers fell, like a rain of flowers, and floated over his smooth and full forehead, over his handsome and warm face, over his slender and thin body, and then at his feet.
He seemed to sense someone approaching and turned to smile politely at her. In a trance, she thought she had seen the Qionghua Tree Fairy, if he was not the Qionghua Tree Fairy, what other man in this world would have such a demeanor?
When he came back to his senses, he turned his head and saw Su Qingluan looking at him with a puzzled expression, the wind outside the window was blowing in, his face was cold, he raised his hand to caress it, and his fingertips were a little wet.
Su Qingluan suddenly understood that this jade pendant was given by Prince Rong's son, Su Liuyun.
"Strange, he should be in Jiangnan, but this box was brought from Jiangbei, did he go to Jiangbei?" Su Qingluan was a little puzzled.
Prince Rong's son, Su Liuyun, was frail and sickly since childhood, moved to Jiangnan after the age of seven, and returned to Beijing five years ago to live for more than a year before returning to Jiangnan. The four seasons in the south of the Yangtze River are like spring, and the climate is warm, which is very suitable for patients like Su Liuyun who are afraid of cold to recuperate. And Jiangbei and Jiangnan are separated by thousands of miles, and it takes more than a month to ride a fast horse, not to mention that Su Liuyun's body can only ride in a carriage.
As for why Su Liuyun went thousands of miles to Jiangbei, I'm afraid only he knows, and perhaps, Mei Ruohua also understands the reason.
Knowing that Mei Ruohua was still worried, Su Qingluan whispered in her ear what she had just discovered.
"Really?" Mei Ruohua's eyes lit up, which was both reasonable and unexpected.
No matter how bad the vision of the wife of the auxiliary general is, she will not choose a person with such a poor appearance to be her daughter-in-law, so it is not so surprising that the real prime minister's daughter has someone else.
Moreover, it is very likely that this matter was deliberately done by the prime minister's daughter to Yihua. Su Qingluan analyzed: "It seems that if this prime minister's daughter either knows Yihua, she has a sweetheart." ”
Mei Ruohua glanced at Mei Yihua, who was still depressed, and frowned, "Yihua's reputation in Beijing is not bad, I shouldn't know the prime minister's daughter, it should be that young lady has another sweetheart." ”
Su Qingluan saw that she finally stopped worrying about Su Liuyun's affairs, and she was also relieved, and then looked at Mei Yihua's depressed face, and said with a smile, "Next month is my birthday, and when the time comes, I will post to her, won't Yihua see the true face of the prime minister's daughter?" ”
When Mei Ruohua heard this, she also felt very reasonable, and smiled and bowed.
instructed Xiao Er to re-serve a table of dishes, and several people threw the sentence of eating without sleeping and saying nothing to 108,000 miles, and everyone laughed and laughed until the sun was in the west.
At the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Mei Ruohua's carriage left first, Mei Yihua and Su Qingyuan were not lightly drunk, and they were escorted back by the attendants of the two, leaving only Su Qingluan and Su Qingyu with Daihe Dailian for a while.
"You two go back to the house first and arrange a place for the guards to rest. After Su Qingluan sent the two away, he walked along the street with Su Qingyu.
"Today's father's punishment of Cao Guogong seems to have been premeditated. The two of them walked on the street with few people, and Su Qingluan was puzzled by the emperor's punishment of Cao Yuan's father and son today.
Su Qingyu also felt a little strange, not to mention how this Cao Jun messed around in Jiangnan, how he happened to meet the minister's daughter, all this seemed too much of a coincidence. "It is very likely that my father has known about Cao Jun for a long time, and today he just took the opportunity to attack. ”
Hearing that Su Qingyu and his own meaning were similar, Su Qingluan smiled faintly, "This time, my father used me to make a raft and detain Cao Yuan's father and son, I have to ask him for something to be fair." No, I don't want to. ”
Listening to her somewhat scoundrel words, she smiled helplessly, and the two talked while walking, and unconsciously arrived at Qinghui Lake. Qinghui Lake is not far from the Zuixian Pavilion, there are many painting boats in the lake, and a circle of weeping willows is planted on the shore, and in the middle of summer, when the willow branches swing with the wind, people feel cool just by looking at it. At this time, it was not yet time to hold the lantern, but the lantern hanging on the painting boat had already been lit, so it could be seen that there were already guests inside.
The two of them had just drunk and walked around the lake, one was to dissipate the smell of alcohol, and the other was that they had been busy recently, and now they finally had time to take such a leisurely walk.
The two of them didn't go far along the lake when they were attracted by a noise, originally the two didn't plan to meddle in their affairs, but Su Qingluan heard a familiar voice, and following the direction of the sound, a large group of people gathered not far away, noisy and didn't know what they were doing.
Xu Wanwan and Zhao Hong were very depressed in the crowd, and His Royal Highness was very happy to let them come out to play, but who knew that such a thing would have happened! Where did this stinky man of Li Gongzi and Wang Gongzi come from? One or two of them were not as good-looking as the pigs fed in the village, and they dared to come to tease them, they were really impatient!
Li Qianqian's temper is the worst, these men have been surrounding them here for almost a quarter of an hour, after shopping for so long, she is already hungry with her chest against her back, and she can't help but yell at this moment, "You guys get out of the way of your aunt and grandma, delay your aunt and grandma's meal, be careful that I screw your head off!"
This sudden voice startled several noble sons who were looking obscene in front of them, and after seeing Li Qianqian's figure clearly, a noble man in a blue brocade robe mocked, "Where is the shrew, don't look at your own appearance, it's more ugly than a man, a few of us are talking to these young ladies, what's the matter with you?
"yes, don't look at yourself, don't you see a few of us ignore you, and you jump out to get our attention?" a boy with a folding fan in his hand smiled and agreed.
As soon as she heard this, Li Qianqian was about to explode, she hated others to talk about her appearance the most in her life, and she had taught a prince of a country in the palace in the morning, and now there were a few more people looking for death. Thinking about it, she stepped forward, her face was full of anger, and she coldly spit out a few words, "Boy, what did you say?"
Those noble sons were shocked by Li Qianqian's momentum, and they all saw famous ladies in Beijing on weekdays, or delicate, or dignified, or lively, or rude. But there was no one as fierce as Li Qianqian, and they were all stunned for a while.
Zhao Hong and the others were also full of anger, and they got along for a few months in the military camp, and they were like sisters. Now these scoundrels who don't know where to fight come up and tease a few of them without saying anything, and insulting Li Qianqian, they really can't bear it.
Several noble sons came back to their senses, and felt that it was too embarrassing to be frightened by such an ugly and sturdy woman as Li Qianqian, it seemed that it was for their so-called face, and then looked at the domestic servants who followed behind him, and the man in Tsing Yi had the courage to say loudly, "What, didn't you hear what the master said clearly? The master said that you look ugly, how can you drop?"
A few people behind the man in Tsing Yi were about to laugh at Li Qianqian and the others loudly, but a green shadow flashed, and the companion who was arrogant just now was gone. Just as he was in doubt, a painful moan came from three feet behind him.
Several people turned their heads and saw that it was the man in Tsing Yi who had disappeared, and they were all stunned in place for a while! The man in Tsing Yi saw that his companion's eyes were looking straight at him but he didn't come to help, and shouted, "Don't hurry up and help this boy up!" A few people came back to their senses and hurriedly ran over to help the man in Tsing Yi up.
They didn't expect that the group of women in front of them who seemed to be from other places dared to beat people, and the woman with a tiger's back and a bear's waist actually beat the man in Tsing Yi a few feet away with her bare hands, is this still a woman?
"You guys, call me... Oops..."The man in Tsing Yi who was beaten covered his stomach, screaming in pain, while commanding his domestic servants to surround Li Qianqian, this stinky woman actually beat him, did she know that his father was the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment!
Several servants who were pointed out by him immediately pounced on Li Qianqian like wolves, and several other noble sons also instructed their subordinates to help.
Seeing these people rushing up, Zhao Hong and the others threw away the things in their hands and joined the battle group to help Li Qianqian.
"More than a dozen big men bully a few girls' families, it's really a sin!" The people watching around were very disgusted with the behavior of a few noble sons, but these people were famous gentlemen in Beijing, and they took pleasure in bullying people on weekdays, and many of them felt it deeply.
"That's it, that's it, but their families are all officials, we can't afford to mess with them, these girls are going to be unlucky today!" An uncle who sold sugar gourds on the street sighed helplessly, but he didn't have much to do, and he was powerless to save people.
The man in Tsing Yi was supported by several companions, although his stomach was kicked or punched by Li Qianqian just now, and now it was still as painful as being hit by a wild horse, but seeing the servants go up to avenge him at the moment, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and his stomach didn't seem to hurt so much. But for the insult he received just now, he still felt that it was necessary to teach this group of women who didn't know where they came from. "Beat me to death, kill the young master Ben to bear. ”
"Doesn't it matter?" Su Qingyu saw that Zhao Hong and his party of five were surrounded by more than a dozen men, and he couldn't help but worry that these guards had such a master.
Su Qingluan clasped his hands around his chest, and he didn't feel anything to worry about Zhao Hong and the others, who were surrounded by three times the enemy at the moment, if they couldn't even beat such a vain man, then how could they save their lives on the battlefield?
Sure enough, just when the onlookers were worried about these women, they saw that more than a dozen servants who were still like wolves and tigers just now were already lying on the ground and humming in a blink of an eye. For a moment everyone had their mouths open, not knowing what to say.
"What are you doing?" A light and beautiful female voice came, and the girl in the purple dress pushed aside the crowd and walked to the middle, looking at the few people who were surrounded in the middle, she turned her face like a few noble sons and scolded angrily, "Qiu Guangzu, Huang Jianren, are you really bullying a few of their girls?"
Seeing the purple-clothed girl who suddenly arrived, several of them had different faces, and the few people whose names were mentioned were immediately a little sneering, who made their father, brother, who was an official in the court in their family, inferior to her grandfather?
"Ziyu, why are you here?" exclaimed Xu Wanwan.
That's right, the person who came was Yao Ziyu, "I just came out of the house, and seeing that it was not early, I was about to go back to the eldest princess's mansion." What about you? What's going on?"
It's really a few happy and a few worried, seeing that they seem to be very familiar with Yao Ziyu, Qiu Guangzu, this is the man in Tsing Yi who feels even more bad, although Yao Ziyu was not as arrogant as them in the past, but it is also different from ordinary boudoir daughters, and occasionally instructs domestic servants to teach people on the street, so they have always regarded her as their kind. Until she went to join the Women's Guard.
Women's Guard!
Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, and they all wailed in their hearts, "No, are they the people in the women's guard?"
Just as a few people were racking their brains thinking about how to get out, it seemed that in order to confirm their suspicions, Xu Wanwan had already spoken, "Ziyu, you don't know, these bastards are openly molesting us, and they are insulting Qianqian, it's too much! Today, the son of the prince of the country was punished by the emperor, and now another one has popped up!"
A few girls were chattering on the side, and Qiu Guangzu hurriedly covered his stomach and came over, regardless of the pain in his stomach, bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, it was all my fault just now, and I hope that there are a lot of girls, don't take it to heart." "Jokes, who doesn't know about Cao Jun, I hope it's too late to apologize now.
The rest of the people saw that Qiu Guangzu took the initiative to apologize, and they didn't care about their face, so they all ran over to apologize, which made the people of the capital who were used to seeing them fierce and vicious dumbfounded.
"Alright, let's go. Su Qingluan turned around and left first, Su Qingyu followed closely behind, and Li Qianqian's rough voice came from afar, "It wasn't like this when I scolded my aunt and grandmother just now, you kid ......"
It was getting dark, and the two figures were slightly hazy by the light of the lanterns lit by the roadside.
