Chapter 52: Suspicion
After being trained for a long time, Tian Bing followed the little yellow gate that led the way out of the palace, but met the carriage of Mrs. Marquis of Jin outside the imperial city, he hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward to ask for peace, and asked, "Why is my aunt here?" ”
Mrs. Marquis of Jin has already passed the year of Ershun, and she rarely comes out to walk around, unless she has a big festival and a big ceremony, she generally does not often enter the palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time she smiled, but she didn't answer, only exchanged a few words with him and hurried into the palace.
Empress Dowager Tian has always taken good care of her only remaining aunt, and asked for a long time before asking about her intentions.
Mrs. Marquis of Jin hesitated for a moment, told the matter as it was, and said: "It's not easy for her, she has been lonely and widowed for so many years, and her grandson is finally about to become a weapon, but she might as well encounter this incident, she was worried that she would collide with the princess, and she didn't even dare to stop her feet and ran to me to ask me to give her ideas." You also know that I have always cared about these, this time there is no way, how many years of friendship, if you don't care, it seems that I am unkind. ”
Empress Dowager Tian said happily: "What should I do, Tian Chu told me, I have nothing to do with the child of the Zhou family, it is Anning who is naughty, you go back and tell her, let her put her heart back in her stomach, how can I be that small-bellied person, I will never blame the meritorious ministers because of a little misunderstanding." ”
Soothed again.
When Mrs. Marquis of Jin heard this, she really put the matter down, and chatted with Empress Dowager Tian about her parents' shortcomings.
Empress Dowager Tian was worried that no one would ventilate personally, and now that there was a lady of the Marquis of Jin, she complained half-truthfully: "An Ning is unwilling to live in peace, I will choose a good one for her, how many young talents she doesn't want, just value the old one." ”
Mrs. Marquis of Jin didn't think about it in that direction, she used to know that there was no trivial matter in the heavenly family, so she naturally didn't want to talk much, but just smiled: "Depending on who she values, she will pick a lot of good ones, why bother to look so dead." ”
Empress Dowager Tian sighed: "Who said no, I value an amorous person, the one in front of me has been dead for several years and has not been renewed, and now he is leading a heavy mission, and people are far away, I haven't seen it a few times, and I don't know where she heard the nonsense." ”
This sentence bluffed the Marquis of Jin and couldn't sit still.
Empress Dowager Tian didn't say much, and let her go back after a few words.
Mrs. Marquis of Jin went home with a heart, feeling that she was thinking too much, and on the other hand, she felt that it was Empress Dowager Tian who was talking through her mouth. She thought about it for a long time, so she didn't guess much, and said directly to the person who was waiting: "Go to the Protector's Mansion." ”
If that was the case, she would have to bring it to her.
At the Protector's Mansion, Zhou Yanzhi asked Mrs. Zhao and sent a few heavy gifts to Tian Chu.
Mrs. Zhao pointed out: "Although he is protecting you like this for himself, in the end, we have also taken a little cheap, you hand over a post, find a convenient day for him, and go to thank you in person." ”
Zhou Yanzhi: "I asked someone to take out the Qingyuan sword before, thinking that he has everything at home, and the rest is just perfunctory. ”
Old Madam Zhao would never be stingy with these things outside her body, so she nodded, indicating that she knew.
The grandfather and grandson analyzed the matter, and overheard the little girl come in to report: "Mrs. Marquis of Jin is here." ”
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly sent her grandson away and went to greet her in person.
Zhou Yanzhi went back to the study, but found his sister sitting at his desk, talking to Gui Zhi.
Gui Zhi stood aside with his hands down, and said eloquently: "I went to ask the surrounding vendors that day, and they all said that there are usually all kinds of riding clothes for sale, but that day, before noon, someone came to buy all the riding clothes, and the dealer we bought didn't know everyone, and after selling the riding clothes to us, he left after a while, because he left early, and some people asked him if he would come back, if he didn't come back, he would occupy his original position." ”
Zhou Qin asked, "Does anyone remember what he looks like?" ”
Gui Zhi shook his head, "But usually, I wear a conical hat again, and my face is half blocked." ”
Zhou Yanzhi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Qin saw that Zhou Yanzhi was back, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "I smelled the wrong smell of the riding clothes I bought yesterday, so I asked people to take them to find the big shopkeeper of the 'Jixiang Garden', and he didn't smell what kind of incense this was. ”
Zhou Yanzhi's mind turned extremely fast, and he immediately grasped the point: "How expensive is this flower?" ”
Zhou Qin smiled bitterly: "Don't say one, even the price of a thousand sets of riding clothes is estimated to be less than one." ”
Dawei people like flowers, hairpins, flower arrangement, and flower planting are things that every household does, and they are very willing to spend money on them. Zhou Qin has loved flowers for two lifetimes, but she has never even heard of this "cyclamen", and the reason is that the number of these things is very small, and the people can't find it.
"The whole city has inquired, this flower was only sent a few years ago when the Sidon Kingdom was visited, and eighty-eight plants were offered at that time, and then the Queen Mother gave a few pots down, and they all died one after another, and the old gate garden was also sent by the original owner because of this, and now I really want to find it, and it is estimated that only in the palace."
The riding suit was spread out on the table like this, and it was still stained with blades of grass and dust from yesterday's gallop.
Zhou Yanzhi stepped forward and got closer to smell the smell, and sure enough, in addition to the shallow smell of sweat left by himself, there was also a very faint fragrance of flower wine, if his sister didn't say it, he wouldn't have found it at all.
"Does that smell strong?" Zhou Yanzhi asked.
Zhou Qin shook his head, "It is said that the fragrance of flowers is very light, even if you open a piece, it only smells a little faint wine." ”
The brother and sister looked at the riding uniform worn by Zhou Yanzhi in unison.
It's been two days, and the fragrance on this riding suit still lingers, and I don't know how long it has been smoked and how it has been smoked. Moreover, to achieve such an effect, it is impossible to do it with a few scattered flowers.
Nine times out of ten, this riding costume is from the palace.
Respectful things have always been priceless and unmarketable, and ordinary people don't say they buy it, and they can't even see it.
Who is so bored, using this flower worth more than a thousand gold to dye this ordinary riding costume, and selling it for such an ordinary price.
The truth is no longer known. It's just that what good is it for her to do this.
Zhou Yanzhi sighed and said, "Then the **** feels strange, I ran so far, Xiangguo Temple is so big, how did she find it, is it really a coincidence?" ”
Zhou Qin was even more puzzled, "The smell of this riding suit is so light, no matter how sensitive the nose is, she can't smell it even if it's far away, and it's useless for her to smoke incense." ”
