Chapter 64: Tokens
In a jewelry box that has been opened on the Duobao Pavilion, there is a white jade ring with exquisite workmanship, inlaid with rose patterns, which is inconspicuous among the rare antiques.
But no one would know that this ordinary-looking white jade ring is not only the love object between Feng Chen and Shen Jin, but also the token of the entire Whirlwind Guard.
I still remember when the Whirlwind Guard was first built, Shen Jin once said: "In this life, only Fengchen and the white jade ring are the sand moles on my heart." ”
At that time, of course, Feng Chen didn't understand the allusion of "mosquito blood and cinnabar mole", but looking at Shen Jin's serious appearance, his heart was also a little moved, and he smiled and took her into his arms and said: "No matter what, you must be the only woman I love deeply in my life." ”
Qin Yue thinks about it now, the original metaphor is not very good, no wonder the ending is so miserable......
Alas!
Qin Yue slowly approached and took the white jade ring in his hand.
Jade is the best jade, transparent, moist, warm as ever, but her mood is very different.
"Cousin, do you like this?" At some point, Jiang Chan walked behind her and asked curiously.
Qin Yue nodded, his mind was still a little dazed, he picked up the jewelry box on the Duobao Pavilion, solemnly put the white jade ring into the box, and turned around and went out in a daze.
Jiang Chan naturally saw her unhappy expression, and gestured with Jiang Hui's eyes who came over. Jiang Hui hurriedly took a few steps forward, talked with her cousin, and waited for Jiang Chan to register with the servant woman guarding the treasury before walking to the flower hall together.
At this time, the adults were about to move to the dining room.
Jiang saw his daughter and asked her with a smile what baby she chose.
Qin Yue said: "Grandmother is full of good things here, and my daughter can't put it down when she holds them, so she finally chose these things." As he spoke, he showed his mother the selected ornaments one by one, and finally took the exquisite hairpin to Jiang's head, "Look, how beautiful it is!"
Zeng's and Lu's also praised their good looks.
Old Lady Jiang smiled and nodded.
Jiang Chan moved her mouth, as if she wanted to ask her cousin why she didn't take out the ring for everyone to see, but was stopped by Jiang Hui's eyes.
If my cousin doesn't say it herself, there must be her reasons, so why bother to tear down my cousin's stage in front of everyone?
Jiang Hui couldn't help but worry about Sister Lobby: Sister Lobby is also upright, and she will marry and become a clan woman in the future, so she can't do it without a little heart.
Then, Jiang Chan and Jiang Hui also presented the treasures they selected to everyone one by one.
Jiang Hui only chose a gilded plum blossom hairpin and a pair of silver bracelets.
Jiang Chan picked the most, and there were more than a dozen of them, all of which looked extraordinary.
Old Mrs. Jiang's face was very ugly.
Lu Shi peeked at his mother-in-law, and secretly sneered in his heart.
Zeng said: "Originally, it was to thank Sister Yue that my mother asked you to choose things." Now it looks like it's a cheap sister. ”
Jiang Chan suddenly blushed.
Jiang Hui hurriedly relieved her cousin: "Second aunt's words are wrong, my sister picked it for Sister Xuan, Sister Xuan likes these golden and jade things when she is young." We got my cousin's advantage this time, but we also remember Sister Xuan. ”
Now it was Zeng's turn to blush.
Sister Xuan is her daughter, she was born frail and sickly, and she never leaves her mouth with medicine all year round. This time, because of the long distance to Beijing, I didn't let her go with her. Seeing that Sister Chan had chosen so many good things, it was inevitable that her eyes would be red, so she embarrassed Sister Chan with her heart.
When Jiang Chan heard her cousin say this, she was busy repeatedly, and she reluctantly gave the things to the second aunt.
Although Zeng was stabbed by Jiang Hui for a few words, he also got a cheap advantage, so he accepted it unceremoniously at the moment.
The old lady's face softened a little.
Although she doesn't look down on this superficial daughter-in-law, she still feels sorry for her frail granddaughter.
Everyone talked and laughed and went to the dining room together.
Jiang Shi held Mrs. Jiang and spoke.
Qin Yue was preoccupied, and gradually fell behind, Jiang Chan took the opportunity to ask her in a low voice why she didn't show the white jade ring to everyone?
Qin Yue couldn't help but be annoyed by her eldest cousin's ignorance, so she had to make up lies to deceive her eldest cousin. Fortunately, Jiang Chan was simple-minded, and Qin Yue dispelled her doubts with a few casual words.
After having lunch at Jiang's house, Jiang led his daughter back to Qin's mansion.
Who knows, but in the section of Danguifang, he met the queen mother's car driving back to Beijing.
The Qin family's carriage had to be avoided.
Qin Yue didn't want to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, so he asked his entourage to turn the horse's head and drive directly into Qingxuan Garden.
The breeze lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and Qin Yue clearly saw that the Empress Dowager Jade was as beautiful as she was in her twenty-eighth year. Those phoenix eyes were still not angry and arrogant, and finally reduced her beauty by a few points, but added a very good momentum to the world.
With just one glance, Qin Yue understood that this old woman's return to Beijing this time was not just to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's son. After all, she is not a woman who is willing to give up power.
The procession of Luan sedan chairs marched slowly through the downtown area.
Xiao Qian, the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, personally led the troops to escort the car, and the pedestrians on both sides of the official road knelt on the ground at this time to welcome the Queen Mother back to Beijing.
The Queen Mother simply lifted the curtain, looked at the long-lost capital, and laughed softly with the beautiful men around her from time to time.
Qin Yue's gaze couldn't help but turn to the beautiful woman.
To her surprise, the woman's appearance was also somewhat similar to that of Yuyu. In other words, Shen Jin is a bit like women's clothing.
What is she going to do? Is she trying to confuse the king with women? She really has the means, and she actually got so many fakes!
The Jiang clan obviously also saw the clue, and couldn't help muttering: "I haven't heard that the five girls of the Yu family are twins! Who is this woman?"
Qin Yue couldn't help but sneer: "Mother, don't you see it? The Queen Mother is going to recruit the emperor's uncle!"
"Then you can't find a woman with the same appearance as the girl of the Yu family!"
After Jiang finished speaking, he realized that he shouldn't discuss such a topic with his daughter, so he coughed lightly and bypassed the topic, "The Queen Mother will return to the palace this time, I'm afraid she will stay for a long time." Yue'er, you have to prepare well when you go back, let's go to the Queen Mother and her old man another day to say goodbye. ”
Qin Yue said, "Don't worry. The queen mother has just returned to the palace, and there are many things to arrange, how can there be time to meet the court's wife? When the emperor's longevity is over, it is not too late for us to go and ask for peace. ”
Jiang said hesitantly: "Is this good? Your grandfather is still in prison now." If you go to beg the Queen Mother, maybe the emperor will release your grandfather early in the face of the Queen Mother. ”
"Mother, that's a bad word. It is precisely because my grandfather is still in prison that we can't act rashly. If the Queen Mother knew about her grandfather, with the Queen Mother's thunderous methods, she would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. Ancestor's life is in danger!"
Jiang was frightened by his daughter's words, and nodded hurriedly: "Then I won't go to the Queen Mother, and I'll wait for your grandfather to be safe." ”
Speaking from her heart, Qin Yue didn't know that the Queen Mother would do this, but she was just looking for an excuse not to see her.
