Chapter 155: To Each His Heart
Yang Ruyu listened to her little sister's words, and her heart still felt warm, and her jealousy and dislike subsided slightly, and then lowered her eyes and said: "In short, the two of you came all the way from Chang'an, and my Yang family is not considerate, please bear with me." Ah Zhi is still young, always straightforward, if there is an offense, you should not take it to heart. ”
"Miss Ruyu is too polite. The eldest grandson saluted.
Jiang Chengzi saw that the atmosphere was about to turn into embarrassment, and immediately proposed: "General Wei and the eldest grandson will come to see this flowergarden and listen to me and my eldest brother chatter for a long time, they must be tired." Dogwood, you have someone serve tea and serve me the dim sum side dishes I usually make. ”
Zhu Yu is a maid selected by Jiang Chengzi from the domestic servants, she is well-behaved and clever, and the family itself is a cultivator, so she can't afford to eat, so she is sold. Jiang Chengzi saw that she was good, so he was transferred to this small courtyard to do things.
She is usually responsible for the cleaning of the rooms in this small courtyard, as well as the preparation of refreshments. Early in the morning, I was instructed by the Nine Girls to prepare seasonal refreshments, which should be chilled, and the sour and delicious side dishes should also be prepared.
At this moment, Zhu Yu heard the Nine Girls' instructions, so she replied crisply: "The maid is all ready, and please sit down with the guests." ”
Jiang Chengzi also answered, and invited a group of people into the hut, after passing through the hut, there was a small courtyard on the other side, with lush flowers and trees, especially the pomegranate blossoms blooming red and gorgeous, but during the period, there were white gardenias blooming indulgently, and the fragrance floated in the clear summer sky.
Under the eaves of the corridor, two bamboo couches have long been prepared, and the black wood table is carved with delicate flower and bird patterns. On the upper edge of the case, the three-legged small tripod has a lingering sandalwood faint.
On top of the case. It is a white porcelain dish with shredded pickled radish strips and sour and delicious shredded potatoes. There are also a variety of seasonal small vegetables, all steamed, boiled, soaked, plus a variety of plant juice blending, color, flavor and flavor. In addition, small pastries are placed on the table.
The slender dogwood wore a modified short hat, and in addition, he disposed of a case of root carving not far away, boiling water to make tea. Tea leaves used. It was Jiang Cheng Zijiang Mansion who brought it, and unlike the tea in this time and space, it is also used to grind it into minced powder, boil it into a batter, and mix it with seasoning to eat. This tea is the craft of later generations. It is used to make tea and drink water.
Changsun Jun and Wei Fangzheng have seen each other in the past few days, and they are not surprised at this time. It's just that the eldest grandson couldn't help but sigh: "Even the little maid is trained so breezy and generous." ”
"Thank you for the compliment. To talk about this Yang family etiquette. It has to be my eldest sister who is the most thoughtful. I'm a wonderful girl, but my eldest sister taught me. Jiang Chengzi's words are true. Although she was also a famous family in her previous life. But compared with the real nobles in ancient times, it is still far from it, so the maids she is looking for let Yang Ruyu teach the rules.
The eldest grandson glanced at Yang Ruyu, but smiled like a spring breeze, and said: "Miss Yang has a good blue heart, and she deserves to be a famous family of the Yang family." ”
"The eldest grandson praised falsely, Ruyu is really ashamed. Yang Ruyu lowered her eyes. Cheeks crimson.
Jiang Chengzi looked at her and knew that she liked Changsun Jun. She also wanted the two to look at each other. But looking at the current situation of the eldest grandson, it seems that it is not interesting. However, even if the two fall in love with each other, the eldest grandson Wuji may not agree, after all, this is the Hongnong Yang clan is the force behind Li Ke, the king of Shu. An old fox like Eldest Sun Wuji definitely doesn't want to.
"Miss Ruyu is too modest. "The eldest grandson is still a gentle and elegant noble son, and his tone is modest. But Jiang Chengzi sounded polite and perfunctory, and if he continued to talk, I was afraid that Yang Ruyu would cry.
Therefore, Jiang Chengzi introduced tea with a cup and diverted the topic. Nawei Fangzheng also Si Wenwen took a drink, and praised directly: "After drinking one or two cups like this, I suddenly feel refreshed, and this mouth seems to grow a fragrance." ”
"General Wei laughed, how can this fragrance grow?" the eldest grandson joked, and Yang Ruyu also hid his face and chuckled.
Wei Fangzheng smiled and said, "I'm a layman, I can't say it well, and I will ask the eldest grandson to evaluate it." ”
"In the past, I didn't like tea, but I didn't think it was as good as soup cakes. For this reason, he once despised the tea eating customs in Chang'an and Luoyang. I don't know what kind of tea overflow. Today, thinking about it, I am afraid that it is fairy and elegant, and it is watched by mortals, but I don't know the true meaning of it, so I only have one or two, and it is not decent. And Ah Zhi is an immortal teacher, so we can have the honor to taste such immortal products, right?" said the eldest grandson slowly, his eyes brightened, and his lips were full of smiles.
Jiang Chengzi smiled at him and said: "The eldest grandson can only say such things in this courtyard, when he arrived in Chang'an in the past, if people knew about it, he would definitely make a big joke." ”
"Ah Zhi's words are wrong. Although I am old and coarse, I can distinguish between good and bad. You are far better at drinking tea than eating tea. Wei Fangzheng said loudly. At the same time, he asked Zhu Yu for another cup, and sandwiched a crisp pickled radish with chopsticks, and admired it with a sigh of admiration.
"Yes, Ah Zhi's words are wrong. The entrance of this tea, the lips and teeth are fragrant, as if the beauty of the warm spring is completely released between the lips and teeth. As soon as the eldest grandson opened the folding fan, he was also amazed.
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he smiled and said, "The two of you can give me such a high evaluation of this tea, it is really a blessing for three lives." I have ordered someone to wrap some tea for the two of you, and please don't dislike it. ”
"Ah Zhi, you and I are friends, and when I say this, I am too outspoken. You gave me a gift, and I accepted it unceremoniously. Wei Fangzheng said loudly. Changsun Jun also nodded in agreement.
Yang Qingrang smiled and said, "My sister, although she is a teacher of immortals, is sometimes open-minded and uninhibited, but she is really afraid that people will say that she is not polite. In some things, it is inevitable to drill the horns. The two of you understand. ”
"Haha, that's true temperament too. Wei Fangzheng laughed, and then looked at Yang Ruyu embarrassedly, and asked, "Miss Ruyu, you are generous, but you have to talk to Ah Zhi, so as not to come to Chang'an and be criticized." ”
"Thank you, General Way. Yang Ruyu said and looked at the eldest grandson again.
At this moment, the eldest grandson Jun was holding a cup and looking at the flowers and plants blooming in the courtyard, thinking to himself. Yang Ruyu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but it was hard to say. A few people drank tea and ate snacks, chatting with each other. Jiang Chengzi also took the opportunity to learn about various situations in Chang'an, such as prices. For example, fashion, such as big events, such as anecdotes.
Of course. When it comes to the political pattern, the secrets of the army, and inside and outside the court, Jiang Chengzi does not ask about them and avoids them completely.
A few people, a pot of tea was drunk, and another pot of tea was changed. First the snow buds, then the hair tips. Among them, the side dishes and pastries are also changed to several flavors.
Even though the summer days are long in Shuzhong, it is because of the high mountains of Shu. Dusk came very early, and the daylight had closed early, and only a little was exposed on the top of the mountain. There is a thin blue mist in the whole Shu. The surroundings were slightly cold, but the sky was slow to accept it.
Jiang Chengzi felt cold and tired, so he closed the stall. The men dispersed.
At night. She lay down alone, but she just remembered Ah Nianlai.
I closed my eyes slightly, feeling tired, and it felt like a dream. How did you toss and turn, cross time and space, and meet such a person, but you are born to be the sad prince, even if it is more than a thousand years apart. He can still touch her mind with a few lines.
And that fragmented dream fragment is just a dream hallucination, or Yang Minzhi's past life. Or maybe it was the last time I traveled through a failed life that was entangled with Li Ke.
So, if that's the case, in this life, God will give himself another chance, and even give himself a miracle, is this an easter egg that pities himself?
Jiang Chengzi felt very absurd. Outside, the cold moonlight made the late summer in Shuzhong already cool in early autumn, and she was very tired and not sleepy. In the end, she turned over and got up, because of her night vision, she never turned on the lamp at all, calmly put on her clothes, sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and had a lot of thoughts.
If that dream was really a failed life from the last time he crossed over, then he must have worked hard to pull all the military upstarts of Guanlong off his horse, but he was accidentally stabbed by the Zhang family and died instantly. It is really the best portrayal of "die before leaving the school".
Li Ke, in this life, I have long decided to find another way to protect you. But in this situation, it seems that no matter how you can stay out of it.
Jiang Chengzi remembered the holy decree this time, as well as the hints of the eldest grandson Jun and Wei Fangzheng, all of which showed that Li Shimin was quite wary of Li Ke, or that the new nobles of Guanlong were always wary of the old nobles of the Yang clan of Hongnong.
It's just that he is a superior person, and it is impossible for the courtiers to dominate one group, what is needed is to restrain each other and contain each other. The Hongnong Yang clan cannot be silent forever, and the eldest grandson family cannot always be beautiful.
It seems that he must return to Hongnong Yang as soon as possible, and then return to Chang'an as soon as possible and start to enter the dynasty in order to make achievements. Therefore, the establishment of the Gewuin Institute is particularly important.
Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes and got up, pacing around the room, thinking about what was there, or something, that could make Li Shimin establish the Gewu Academy as soon as possible and let the Yang family's sixth room enter Chang'an.
Salt, it has to be salt. One of the most scarce materials in Datang today.
After thinking about it, Jiang Chengzi still fixed everything on the original idea. It was also at this moment that she made up her mind to go into the mountain tomorrow, choose a good hand in Chuanyun Village, and let the Taoist go into the mountain to find salt mines.
As for the rest of the situation, it will be put aside for the time being. Jiang Chengzi decided, and his chaotic heart finally settled down. Then, she rolled over to bed and was about to fall asleep, when she heard the faintest footsteps coming from the backyard.
It was very light, very light, very fast. But it's not as exaggerated as in martial arts novels, what kind of flowers and leaves. Although martial arts are admired in this era, there is really no such exaggerated light skill. Unless there is a person with Jiang Chengzi's ability, it is possible to learn the so-called light skills in martial arts.
Of course, whether or not what you learn after having an ability is called light skill is debatable.
In short, at this moment, Jiang Chengzi heard extremely slight footsteps with his keen hearing heading towards the backyard flower garden. Although the flower garden has nothing valuable, it is her territory in the end.
Jiang Chengzi carried the fighting blade in his arms, and a few of them climbed over the courtyard wall and left.
In the backyard, the shade of tall trees shades the sky and the moon, and the visibility in the courtyard is not high, but Jiang Chengzi herself has night vision, which has no obstacle for her, but the thief is not familiar with this place, so his steps are very light, but the speed is not fast.
Jiang Chengzi stood still behind a tree, carefully observing the man's movements, but saw that the man was not wearing a night clothes, but was dressed in white with a folding fan in his hand. Under the moonlight, that person was the eldest grandson.
He stood in front of the flowerbed, bathed in the moonlight, and did nothing, but stood there in a daze, looking at the path of flowers and trees.
Jiang Chengzi frowned, he really couldn't figure out what this eldest grandson Jun was doing here at the risk of being discovered, did he think that there was some ulterior secret hidden here, so he came to explore the flower garden at night.
This flower garden was usually guarded at night, but after the potatoes and sweet potatoes were harvested, Jiang Chengzi's heart was put down. The matter of being on duty at night was canceled by Jiang Chengzi. After all, the backyard is also considered a place for women, and it is really not good to have someone on duty.
So, this flower garden is now unattended.
Or the purpose of Changsun Jun's coming here is not only to suggest that she should not get involved in politics and keep a distance from Li Ke, but also has an even more ulterior purpose.
Jiang Chengzi stood behind the tree and quietly looked at the young man in white with a folding fan. I saw him stand at the door for a long time, and finally gently pushed open the fence door, and walked slowly along the path of flowers and trees to the house.
Then, during the day, Jiang Chengzi stood still in the place where he told him about the situation in the flower garden, and stood for a long time. Then he crouched down and squatted there.
If there is some purpose, shouldn't you look around?
Jiang Chengzi was quite puzzled, but he hadn't shown up yet, just stood behind the tree and looked at Changsun Jun.
The eldest grandson stood there for about half an hour, and slowly entered the house. Jiang Chengzi has night vision, but no perspective. So, she could only emerge from behind the trees, and with her familiarity with the terrain, she chose a hidden place. I saw the eldest grandson go straight through the room to the small courtyard where he drank tea during the day, and sat down on the wooden floor under the eaves of the porch, and sat there quietly, motionless, like a sculpture.
The shadow of the window shifted, and the moonlight slanted into the house, and he still sat there.
Jiang Chengzi gasped when he looked at him like this, feeling that this move didn't seem to be a secret mission.
"People of Chang'an, it is rumored that you are a fairy descending to earth, in addition to your beautiful appearance, you also have extremely high kung fu. Then why don't you show up when I break into here like this?" he whispered to himself.
Jiang Chengzi was taken aback, and suddenly understood that the eldest grandson was just a little cautious, and he was going to leave this place tomorrow, and he was here to remember at this time. Well, he's talking about herself.
Jiang Chengzi frowned, she knew that the right feelings could help her, but if this kind of feelings were too deep, she was afraid that she would become a time bomb one day. What should be done now?
Jiang Chengzi has never dealt with such things as feelings, and in his previous life, he was ridiculed by his cousin's gang for his low emotional intelligence. She was struggling, but he finally got up, and when the moonlight was approaching and the east was about to dawn, he left the flower garden and went back to the guest room.
Jiang Chengzi breathed a sigh of relief and also went back to the room to meditate and breathe.
On the second day, as soon as dawn broke, the Yang family held a banquet to send the two messengers away. Therefore, Yang's sixth room is lively again. (To be continued.) )
