Jiangxia - post station

In the early winter night, it is clear and cold, and the crescent moon passes through the thin clouds, and the soft light spreads throughout the garden.

Chu Yao got up from the bed, put on his outer robe, lit the blue glazed lotus lamp again, and came to the bookcase, his eyes fell on the book on the top of all kinds of official documents-"Military Training".

His eyebrows were staring helplessly, and his gaze was far and deep, as if looking into the distance.

A moment later, he reached out and picked up the "Military Training", and wanted to open it, but he paused and hesitated for a moment, and finally put it back in place.

He turned and walked back to the bed, wanting to lie down again, but he couldn't help but stare at the book.

Today in the Jiangxia prefect's mansion, he would stare at that girl ring non-stop, making the Jiangxia prefect think that he had taken a fancy to that girl ring. But Chu Yao knew in his heart that what he was looking at was not Yahuan, but that Yahuan reminded him of her.

It's just a girl ring with a black mole next to her nose, which makes it difficult for her to sleep all night, her smile is so profound, when she thinks about it a few days ago, she can obviously ignore the past, because Ah Yi has found it, and she also went to Shen Mansion with Shen Shilang's son, since she is already someone else's person, how can she still think of her?

Chu Yao laughed at himself a little helplessly, walked back to the bookcase quickly, grabbed the book of "Military Training" and threw it out.

The book was flung into the corner, and the danqing that was caught in it also fell to the ground.

Chu Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the painting under the dim light, on which the woman was smiling like a flower, and her hair was pouring down her shoulders like silk satin.

"Master, do you have any orders?" This voice is Mo Yun's, he must have heard the movement next door, and saw that there was a light here, so he came to ask.

Chu Yao picked up the danqing on the ground, and his slender fingertips gently outlined the facial features of the woman painted on it.

Mo Yun stood outside the door, did not get a response from His Royal Highness the Prince, and was a little worried, but looking at the figure, the prince seemed to be standing in the room, so he considered whether to go in to see what was going on, but before acting, he asked again: "Master, is there anything that needs to be done?" ”

Chu Yao carefully clipped the Danqing in his hand back to the military training, and said, "Come in!" ”

Mo Yun got permission, gently pushed open the door, saw the prince sitting behind the bookcase, and said, "Is the master thinking about how to place Miss Xi?" "Miss Xi is the beauty of the Jiangzhou prefect dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince, and Mo Yun mentioned this, just casually mentioned it, after all, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not sleep well because of this trivial matter, but Mo Yun can only ask His Highness like this, in fact, he wants to care about whether His Royal Highness has other things on his mind.

Chu Yao's face was warm, as in the past, and his tone was light: "Miss Xi, just go and arrange it, Qian Wu should have arrived in the capital......"

"The journey should have arrived, but he hasn't sent a letter yet, but Brother Jin should have received the secret order from the master." Mo Yun's expression was stern, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really worried about Jiangxia's damming project, if it was not completed in the past few months, the spring rainy season would come, and there might be floods, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so worried about the people of Jiangxia, Mo Yun deeply reviewed that he had not known the prince's intentions earlier, but fortunately, he flew a pigeon yesterday and asked Qian Wu to come back quickly.

Chu Yao remained silent, as if he knew, and said again: "You ask him to finish things quickly, and then go back to Jiangxia directly!" ”

"Yes, let's do it." Mo Yun turned around and walked out of the room, covered the door, and asked the people on duty outside the door today to pay attention, and then immediately went to do what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered.

Chu Yao looked at Mo Yun's figure, and it wasn't until his figure left sight that he helplessly turned his head to look at "Military Training", obviously wanting to say that if Qian Wu Ruo arrived in the capital, he would still go to Shen Mansion to inquire about Miss Yue, but the second half of the sentence was not said after all, and if he said it, did he want to snatch her from Shen Da?

Chu Yao's thoughts were chaotic, he lay back on the bed again, looking at the top of the bed in a daze, in fact, it is common to have difficulty sleeping at night, since the death of his mother, his heart has become heavier, and he began to suffer from insomnia, but sometimes it is good and sometimes bad.

In the past, he just read books and saw Tianming, but today he has no intention of reading books, and he doesn't seem to be able to read anything, is this tempting? Tempted by the girl who dressed herself so ugly?

Following

Dressed in a green floral robe, Yang sat on the main seat of the living room, delicately reciting the cat's eye tourmaline necklace in his hand.

The shopkeeper of Qing Ya Pavilion on the side, Nie Shi, smiled brightly: "Madame is really good-looking, this necklace is the best in it." As she spoke, she gave a thumbs up and said proudly: "This color is transparent, the cat's eyeliner on each bead is very narrow, this kind of pure color is not easy to find, the concubine is sure, the jewelry seller in the capital will definitely not be able to find the second one." ”

Yang's face was expressionless, and he put the tourmaline necklace back in the tray in Wei's mother's hand, and Wei's mother understood, signaling Nie to bring everything back.

Nie also understood what this meant, but he didn't give up, "Madam is not satisfied?" This time, the concubine brought really top-quality goods. ”

Yang glanced at her and said lightly: "People are also doing business, and their tourmaline is golden yellow at first glance, and there are green, purple, and red under the sun. You say you're top-notch? My daughter is the future crown princess, you let her bring such tourmaline? ”

"Madame is talking about chameleons? Or is it golden yellow? Nie Shi smiled bitterly: "This concubine really can't be taken out, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid that the lady in the palace may not have a few ......"

Yang snorted lightly: "What kind of lady in the palace, people are doing business like you." ”

Nie knew that he was here in vain today, so he could only laugh and put everything away with him. Mother Wei sent her out of the main courtyard, and Nie couldn't help but complain: "The kind of goods that Madame said is really hard to find, how many years have I sold treasures, and I have heard of it, I have seen chameleons of other colors, but there will also be flaws, how can there be this cat's eye tourmaline transparent and pure?" ”

Wei's mother comforted: "Madame has been worried about tourmaline in her heart recently, which has made you run again and again, if there is a better one next time, remember to show it to our wife." As she spoke, she took out the broken silver she had prepared: "This is the lady's reward for you." ”

The Nie clan actually didn't look down on this bit of silver, so it was better than running for nothing, so he accepted it.

Mother Wei sighed secretly when she saw Nie Shi leaving. The old lady asked Mother He to bring a lot of treasures to Miss Yue, but I couldn't imagine that there could be such a rare treasure in a small portal of the Shen family in Jinzhou, and it was difficult to produce one in the palace.

That day, more than 20 boxes of things were carried to Qionghua Xiaoyuan, one of the boxes was shaken to the ground, He's mother was in a hurry to rush over, scolded on the spot, and carefully checked whether the object was broken, but Mrs. just passed, at a glance saw that the string of tourmaline is the top grade, who would have thought that it would be so difficult to find, all the jewelry shops in the capital can not take out a necklace of similar color.

Wei's mother thought about it, and returned to the main house to serve, who knew that she had just opened the curtain and was about to cross the threshold, and the people behind her knocked her to the point of being untenable, almost hitting the threshold, and when she looked up, it was the eldest lady who came back, and I didn't hear Mrs. say that the eldest lady would go back to the house today?

Yang was about to take a sip of sweet soup, when he saw Shen Xinxia running in recklessly, his brows tightened: "What does this look like?" What kind of system? ”

Shen Xinxia didn't care about her mother, and sat in the position closest to her mother: "Mother, it's a big deal!" ”

"What's the big deal?" Yang was puzzled, and when he saw that Shen Xinxia's expression was really something, he waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat.

Shen Xinxia saw that everyone in the house had gone out, so she took out the invitation card from her sleeve and gave it to the Yang family.

Yang opened it and glanced at it, and said leisurely: "What should I be?" Your mother-in-law invited us to sit as a guest, which is a good thing! ”

Shen Xinxiayun hurried, "My mother doesn't know, Mrs. Jingyang came to the palace yesterday." ”

Yang raised his eyebrows, is there really something?

Shen Xinxia continued: "When I asked my mother-in-law to say goodbye, my mother-in-law said that she was a little angry, so I personally cooked soup and sent it to my mother-in-law. ”

"Are you saying that Mrs. Jingyang invited the princess to say goodbye, and the princess will invite us to a banquet today." Yang Shi was thoughtful, and his face changed suddenly, "Could it be that she wants that girl?" ”

Shen Xinxia also guessed: "And I asked my mother-in-law to come forward, it must not be a concubine, I am afraid that it is the princess who is marrying the Ming media." ”

"Although the Yi Shizi of Jingyang Hou is stupid, how can he say that he is also the nephew of the Queen Mother, and that girl married into the Hou Mansion? No way! The last three words of the Yang family bit very hard, and then remembered that Mingzhu had heard from Yahuan Qingzhu of Qionghua Xiaoyuan that the girl wanted to offer that woman's tablet to the Shen Mansion, and she became more and more angry.

"Originally, now people really think that she was raised by her father in the old house, in fact, more than ten years outside, who knows if she is clean, whether she has been in Goolan Courtyard, or how many times she has been married, the people in the market are not so particular."

"You haven't seen her? What is the point of talking and behaving like a poor beggar? It's not surprising to go out and make people look at it! Yang lowered his eyes, clasped his hands, and squeezed out a sentence: "Anyway, none of that girl's things can be done!" ”

Shen Xinxia was about to talk to her mother again, but she heard Wei's mother say outside the curtain: "I've seen the master, madam, the master is back." ”

The mother and daughter immediately stopped talking, got up and greeted Shen Shengxu who stepped in.

"Ah Xia is back?" Shen Shengxu said one wall and walked to the inner room.

"I've seen my father, and my daughter came back to talk to her mother."

Shen Shengxu bowed his head: "Madame help me with the pawn, I will leave for Yunzhou immediately." ”

The Yang family helped Shen Shengxu change his robe, and the other wall asked: "How can you say that you can leave this time, how many days will it take for the master to go out this time?" ”

"Half a month at a time, a month at most." He snatched the invitation card from Prince Su's mansion on the table, and said, "A few days ago, I told Prince Su about Yueya. ”

"It's up there for us all to get through." Yang thought in his heart, Mrs. Jingyang asked Prince Su to talk about the kiss, whether to sue him, and finally decided not to say it, although the lord may not be willing, he was bent on letting the girl go back to the old mansion in Jinzhou, and should not allow her to marry the stupid Yi Shizi, but then again, the Jingyang Marquis Mansion is the queen mother's maiden family, and no one can stop a marriage.

Since the Jingyang Marquis Mansion is still affectionate, let Prince Su say kiss first, then there is still time to think of a way, in short, let that girl be a relative of the emperor? There are no doors!

Thinking of this, she noticed that Shen Shengxu was calling her, and hurriedly responded: "Eh, the master still has orders?" I'll help you pack your luggage, can Steward Wang go with the master? ”

Shen Shengxu frowned, and screamed a few times before returning to his soul, and he didn't know what to think about so distractedly: "Prince Su said that he wanted to see Yueya, and tomorrow's banquet, I'm afraid that the prince will also go over to meet Yueya." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Shengxu remembered that Shen Hanyue had been in danger repeatedly, and he couldn't rest assured, and ordered: "You should be careful when traveling, and you must prepare more people and horses." He turned to Shen Xinxia and said, "It's rare for you to come back, so talk to your mother more." Dad went to Qionghua Xiaoyuan first, and explained to Yueya in person, the first time she went to the palace, where did she do not do well, you are both a sister and a master, you need to take care of more! ”

Shen Xinxia smiled sweetly and well-behaved: "What Daddy said is, how could my daughter snub Sister Yue?" ”
