Chapter 337: Xiling Night Talk
Morning rain and evening sunshine. www.biquge.info In the evening, Jiang Li, dressed in plain clothes, stood in the backyard of King Jing's Mansion, looking at the large black sunset in the sky, and listening to Xiaoxiang's complaints behind him.
Xiao Xiang couldn't change her name for Xiao Yu, "Xiao-Gongzi clearly said that the courtyard in this mansion is up to you, but master, you just picked such a remote garden!" β
This is a small courtyard in the back garden of the palace, and it takes half a day to go out of the door around the front door, but fortunately, you can go through the back door. But obviously you can enter and exit from the front door openly, why do you want to move to the small courtyard by the back door, Xiaoxiang can't figure it out, looking at the garden she is in, with a look of disgust.
Jiang Li Bai Xiaoxiang didn't say a word. What I thought to my heart was: this garden is a little off, but the light is good, the orientation is good, and it is suitable for all seasons. The main house with six entrances, the wing room with four entrances, and a backyard with sundries. This time, I brought Xiaoxiang and Aunt Hong. Aunt Hong brought a few other girls with good skills. For just a few people, this garden is enough to live.
Besides, although Xiao Yu sent a message to let her choose a garden to live in at will, although she and he had the intention of having a concubine, after all, she had not officially performed an engagement ceremony. In the past, when they were in Qingfeng Village, they didn't care about what others said, but this is the Beijing Palace, and there are so many housekeepers staring at it, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may be chewed in private.
Xiling City is close to Ling'an, Kyoto, and Xiao Yu has not yet come to Ling'an to meet Xiao Ting as soon as he comes back, and all the people in Nanchen Capital have already squeezed through the gate of Jingwang's Mansion. She just values this courtyard, she deliberately chose this remote courtyard to hide quietly.
Xiaoxiang complained that Jiang Li didn't say anything, but she didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly said that she was going to clean up the house with Aunt Hong.
It's been three days since she moved into this yard, and Aunt Hong has been busy cleaning up the house all day.
The courtyard was not big, but these days the girls and mothers-in-law in the king's mansion came to this courtyard again and again, and some exquisite household ornaments to eat expensive clothes and food, and sent them to this courtyard like flowing water every day.
Jiang Li pushed it a few times, and the subordinates only said that they had taken the orders of the prince and did not dare to disobey them. Jiang Li had to be tossed by them.
There is a begonia in the yard, and the flowers are blooming.
Begonia flowers are rare in winter, and even fewer are fragrant when they bloom, Jiang Li stopped under the begonia tree, looked up at the budding stamens on the tree, and suddenly heard the girl guarding the door call "Lord Wang", Jiang Li turned around, Xiao Yu had already entered the door with a smile.
Xiao Yu entered the door and looked at the courtyard. Although the yard is not big, it is also neat and clean, the green bricks on the ground are all cleaned with water, the flowers and plants in the yard are also elegant, the begonia flowers are blooming, a fragrant chaise longue is placed under the tree, and the chair is paved with a pinched gold silk flower brocade cushion.
"It just so happens that I'm free tonight, let's go out and visit Xiling City?" Xiao Yu blinked, looked at her expectantly and asked.
Jiang Liwan smiled, said hello, and went back to the house to clean up a little. Xiao Yu specially told Aunt Hong to put on the white fox Qiu Dayu that she sent that day, and she didn't bring a servant, and the two went out together.
Outside the gate of the palace was Xiao Yu's unique BMW in Xiling City. The two got into the car, and the coachman drove the carriage onto the street, and Xiao Yucai said: "Someone came to the palace today to deliver the decree, Xiao Tingxuan I will enter the palace tomorrow, and I will have to go early tomorrow morning." Ling'an doesn't know what the situation is, so you stay here for the time being. β
Jiang Li snorted, looking at the street scene outside the car, looking a little absent-minded.
Xiling City is no different from the city streetscape that Jiang Li has seen over there in the Great Song Dynasty, but there is water everywhere. A large and small river passes through the city, and there are many tea shops and restaurants on both sides of the river, and the lights are reflected in the water, adding to the bustling and prosperous.
It's just that there is a desolate side in addition to the bustling and lively. Women with heavy makeup and bright makeup haunted the dim flower street and willow lane, most of the people walking outside the restaurant were in tattered clothes, and there were groups of beggars, and the soldiers patrolling the street looked fierce to the poor, shouting at them, and when they turned around and saw several luxurious carriages passing by, they immediately became a groveling flattering appearance.
The Song Dynasty was the same as Nanchen, big cities and small cities, the poor were extremely poor, and the rich were extremely rich-Jiang Li sighed in his heart.
In the carriage, Xiao Yu was crooked on a couch chair with black feather satin pattern, with a bright purple acacia chair pillow behind him, and the two were separated by a red sandalwood table, on which there was a delicate tea cup with a thin jade tire, and the tea cup was steaming green, Xiao Yu stared at her.
Jiang Li took off the white fox Qiu Dayu, a honey-colored Qianfu skirt on his body, a waist that Ying Ying held, and a dark cloud brocade armor on his head, which looked dignified and charming.
A palm-sized smoker was placed on the small table beside her, and Su Hexiang rose from the smoker, making the half of the delicate side that could pinch out the water look blurry and warm.
It's rare to be alone, such an excellent environment for being alone, but she only cares about looking at the street scene, and doesn't look at herself for a long time, Xiao Yu sighed and picked up the tea to sip.
Pulled back to his senses by that sigh, Jiang Li turned his head and glanced at him without being salty, "Sigh, I heard everything you said." β
That day at the Qingzhou wharf, he vaguely proposed to her, not wanting to be rejected by her gritted teeth. Xiao Yu thought about it later, maybe it was really his own wording that was wrong. However, he was reluctant to ask others for advice on this kind of trouble.
On the way from Qingzhou to Nanchen, he took the time to figure it out, and thought that he had summed up some experience and reorganized the language of the marriage proposal. Finally, I was a little free tonight, my heart was hot, and I had a lot to say to her, but when I saw her faint expression, I was a little discouraged.
But after all, he looked at it and was about to speak, but he saw Jiang Li frowning slightly, and said: "We left Qingzhou this time and brought Yuntong, Li Mu brought Chen Yu and Chu Feng in Yunzhou, and Qingfeng Village only had Qiu Da and Zhao Yi." Aren't you afraid of an accident in Qingfeng Village? β
"What could happen? Qiu Da and Zhao Yi are both reliable people. Xiao Yu replied nonchalantly.
Jiang Li groaned, "Qiu Da may be reliable, but Zhao Yi, I always feel that he has some secrets." β
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled easily: "You can see this?" β
Listening to his tone, he should know Zhao Yi's details? Jiang Li picked up the teacup and waited curiously for him to continue.
Xiao Yu didn't want to mention it, "I'll tell you about him later, anyway, don't worry, his person is not bad, and he can't threaten the safety of Qingfeng Village." Tonight, we're just going to talk about our business. β
"What can we do?" Jiang Li blinked with a blank expression, and then suddenly understood, "Oh, is it that you just said that you want to enter the palace?" You said that you want me to stay in Xiling first, and now the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, and I know that you are doing this for my good. You can go without worry. β
"It's not. I said I wanted to say something more importantβ"
