Chapter 22: The Eldest Princess
Both parents and family members died in the fire, and the surviving Qiao Gongzi still had the heart to visit the world, which was obviously abnormal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Thirteen received news from his subordinates that Qiao Gongzi had entered Beijing three days ago and lived in the Kou Shangshu Mansion of the foreign family, and the news of his coming to the capital has not yet spread. ”
Jiang Tang nodded and said to Jiang Yuanchao, "Continue to send people to keep an eye on it." The news we inquire about may not be reported to the Holy Lord, but we must know it in our hearts in case we are caught off guard by someone. ”
"Rest assured, Thirteen knows. ”
Jiang Tang smiled: "I have always been relieved of your work." The affairs of the Qiao family can no longer be pressed, and it is time to report to the emperor. ”
Catching Jiang Yuanchao's inquiring gaze, he explained: "Champion Hou is back, he is hot now, and his wife sacrificed her life for the country, if the saint doesn't know anything about the Qiao family, he will lose his temper in the future." Besides, Kou Xingze's old guy hasn't moved, I'm afraid he's also waiting for this time. ”
Jiang Yuanchao had a gentle smile on his face, but he only heard the words "sacrifice his life for the country".
These words were like a small knife, poking his heart painful and stuffy.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Tang noticed Yoshiko's strangeness and asked.
Jiang Yuanchao came back to his senses, and his smile was extremely faint: "It's the first time I've heard of a woman sacrificing her life for the country!"
Jiang Tang felt a little strange, but Jiang Yuanchao had returned to normal, got up and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, I have been traveling for thirteen days, and my body is dirty, and I want to go back to bathe and change clothes and listen to your teachings." ”
"Go back, I've already cleaned up the yard for you, and live in it first. You haven't lived there for a long time, so you can repair it and then go to live. ”
Jiang Yuanchao should come down from goodness.
Jiang Tang smiled: "Now Zi Ran Ran should be happy." ”
Jiang Yuanchao tugged at the corners of his lips and did not answer.
In the teahouse facing the street, Chi Can leaned back on the back of his chair and drank tea lazily.
The street downstairs was wide and empty, and as the Northern Expeditionary Army passed, the people who welcomed them also ran away, leaving only flowers, champas and other things all over the ground, which were trampled into a mess, and they had long lost their original glamorous appearance.
"I really didn't expect that Shao Mingyuan guy to be so popular. ”
Yang Houcheng sneered: "It's rare to see Chi Gongzi eat it!"
Chi Can raised his foot and kicked over: "What nonsense, most of those headaches will be taken away by him in the future, and he should thank him." ”
On the side, Zhu Yan smiled and proposed: "Speaking of which, we haven't been together with Tingquan for several years. ”
Shao Mingyuan, the word Tingquan.
The four of them are friends who formed when they were young, and their feelings are naturally different, but Shao Mingyuan has rarely gotten together with these three since he put on his battle robe at the age of fourteen, and the friendship between the other three is naturally deeper over time.
Rao is like this, many years of friends back to Beijing, they are still excited.
Yang Houcheng recalled for a moment and said: "It was still when he got married, and we didn't even catch the hole house, so that guy went to fight again." Hey, do you think Tingquan feels good in his heart? His wife—"
Speaking of this, all three were a little silent.
In the end, it was Chi Can who spoke first: "Why is it uncomfortable? You don't see how popular he is today? In the future, the princess and noble daughter can't help but be picked by him! Come on, don't talk about these bad things, come back and ask him to come out for a drink." ”
Zhu Yan and Yang Houcheng glanced at each other, both with helpless expressions.
This guy is wrong again, among the four people, it is clear that he has the best relationship with Ting Quan, so Baba rushed over early this morning and poured several pots of tea.
Chi Can got up, walked downstairs slowly, turned around halfway, raised the corners of his lips and asked, "I seem to see a cactus ball flying over in the rain, have you seen it?"
"I saw it, I saw it, it was Li Yatou who threw it over!" Yang Houcheng's eyebrows danced.
Ji Can and Zhu Yan both stared at him.
What is this kid excited about?
"It seems that she is well ill and has a good head. Ji Can stretched out his hand and swung back, "Let's disperse, go back to their own homes." ”
The Changrong Princess's Mansion is located in the most prosperous place in the capital, covering a wide area, and the garden is full of exotic flowers and plants.
In the midst of the flowers, a brightly lit woman reclined on a bamboo couch, with one hand on her cheeks and the other holding a fan for a while.
At her feet, a man in a cloth in a cloth half-knelt and gently pinched her legs, and a man in brocade clothes in front of him carefully peeled grapes.
The man in brocade had slender fingers, his nails were trimmed neatly and neatly, and he skillfully peeled a grape and brought it to the lips of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess ate the grapes with the hand of the man in brocade, and then spit out the grape seeds into his palm.
The grapes that came out of the greenhouse didn't taste good, and the eldest princess of Changrong waved her hand after eating a few grains, and said to a fair-faced female official standing beside her: "Dong Yu, go and call that person over." ”
Dong Yu understood, said yes, turned around and left, and brought a woman after a while.
The woman was dressed in a light gold satin gown, her hair was combed in a bun, four pairs of bright gold hairpins were inserted, and a golden step was magnificent, but her face was yellower than the golden hairpin, and she was so old that people could not estimate their age.
The woman came to the eldest princess and knelt down: "The slave and maid meet Your Highness." ”
The eldest princess of Changrong lazily threw the fan aside, raised her chin and said slowly: "Didn't you say it many times, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me." ”
"Come on. The eldest princess beckoned to the woman, and when the woman knelt closer, she stretched out her white and bare feet and lifted her chin, and the disdain in her soft tone was revealed in her bones, "Heh, I don't have such a slave." ”
Footsteps sounded, and the female official Dong Yu whispered in the ear of the eldest princess of Changrong: "Your Highness, the prince is back." ”
The eldest princess of Changrong glanced at Chi Can who came over, retracted her attention, and rubbed the woman's cheek with her bare feet: "Wipe it clean and put my shoes on." ”
The woman held the jade feet of the eldest princess and carefully wiped them, as if treating rare treasures, and the beautiful men and maids surrounding the eldest princess were accustomed to it.
Ji Can had already approached and saluted: "Mother." ”
He glanced at the woman, and couldn't tell what it was like.
When he first saw this woman that year, he wanted to kill her with a sword, but he was stopped by his mother, but now he has no feeling at all, and even mourns for her.
Silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, her mother never treated her badly, but she was more than ten years older than a woman of her age.
The eldest princess of Changrong nodded casually, ignored Chi Can, kicked the woman's cheek with her shoeed foot, and said with a smile: "How about following me, you and your children enjoy endless wealth and glory, it's much better than following that short-lived ghost who can only secretly save private money, right?"
"Yes, yes. The woman did not dare to hide, and nodded again and again.
"So, don't be so shallow in women's eyes, not everyone has your good luck. The eldest princess had teased enough, and waved her hand.
Dong Yu immediately took the woman down.
The eldest princess of Changrong didn't have the order to serve her The beautiful man who served her stepped back, so she looked at Chi Can so disappretently, and said, "My collection of Mr. Qiao's paintings, have you moved?"
