Chapter 68: Tomorrow Morning
Jin Guifei sat on the stepping bed of the golden silk nanmu, wearing a red satin rich peony pattern embroidered cardigan, inlaid with gold edge stone blue satin hundred birds and phoenix cloud pattern embroidered xia veil, yellow satin embroidered colorful phoenix peony cloud flower round neck robe, and a scarlet satin multicolored ripple water pattern mandarin duck embroidered pleated skirt was tied below, which was extremely rich and majestic, and a royal style.
This all-round style, coupled with the majestic look of Concubine Jin, is enough to deter any woman, however, Cai Wei is an exception.
She looked directly at the majestic Jin Guifei and asked lightly, "What does it mean that Niangniang is coming over?" β
Concubine Jin Guifei saw that Cai Wei was not afraid, and the trembling appearance of the daughters of those official families when they entered the palace to meet her, she couldn't help but have a little praise in her heart, if it wasn't for the sake of the big plan, she even wanted to take her to her side to keep her, with her peerless beauty and not humble and arrogant heart, she will definitely be able to have a great use in the future!
However, the most important thing at the moment is not how to develop henchmen, but to quickly pull out the thorn in the eye of King Qin.
Therefore, when she heard Cai Wei's provocative question, instead of getting angry, she praised it: "An Le is really a courageous person, but I don't know how bold you are, do you dare to assassinate the prince?" β
Cai Wei was stunned: "Assassinate the prince? Is the mother joking with An Le? β
Concubine Jin glanced at her coldly, and her voice was cold: "You see that this palace seems to be joking with you?" β
Of course not!
Cai Wei thought that she hadn't gotten acquainted with this noble lady to this extent, but what Concubine Jin had just said was too shocking to make Cai Wei believe her ears for a while, so she couldn't help blurting out something like 'just kidding'.
It's just, what did she mean by assassinating the prince?
Who is she going to kill? Or who is Concubine Jin going to send her to kill? She has countless masters under her who have sworn allegiance, why doesn't she use those people, but send someone she can't control at all?
Cai Wei is a smart and transparent person, and she quickly thought of the answer, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you think that I will follow your instructions to deal with him?" β
"It's up to you!"
Concubine Jin leaned on the velvet cushion of the stepping bed, and stretched out her hand, which was carefully painted in cardamom color, and a big palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a steaming official kiln teacup on the small table.
She took the teacup, took the lid and flicked the tea leaves inside, took a sip gently, and put the teacup back down.
"Your family is in the capital!"
Concubine Jin asked unhurriedly, although her voice was soft, the meaning was a thousand catties, "This palace only gives you three months, and after three months, if this palace doesn't hear the news you want to hear, you know what will happen!" β
She didn't say the consequences of Cai Wei not being able to kill Nangong Yi, but the meaning was already obvious, if Cai Wei didn't kill Nangong Yi, her family would have to die!
Cai Wei was furious, her bottom line had been stepped on!
Family has always been the most cherished in this world, even more important than her own life, she will never allow them to be hurt in the slightest, and now someone dares to threaten her with their lives, she can't bear it anymore.
Even if she could forgive Concubine Jin for poisoning her before, and forgive her for murdering Nangong Yi again and again, she would never forgive her for threatening her with the lives of her dear family!
This time, she had to take her life so that she would never be able to make waves!
Cai Wei raised her head, her eyes were cold, and her tone was as cold as ice.
"Mother, I hope you can remember that I have three months, and during these three months, you must keep my family safe."
"That's nature!"
Concubine Jin agreed, in her opinion, since Cai Wei did not refuse her request, naturally even if she agreed, as long as she could help her get rid of the great scourge of King Qin, she didn't mind being a good person for three months, so that their family could live for three more months
When Cai Wei left the Statue Palace, Concubine Huo Xian was still kneeling in the courtyard of the Palace, I don't know how long she had been kneeling, her body was a little shaky, but she still insisted on kneeling there.
Out of the palace gate, Zhao Qiu and Mama Dou were standing outside the car anxiously waiting for her, and they were very happy to see her come out safely.
"Miss, Concubine Jin didn't embarrass you, did she?"
Although Mama Dou looks serious, she is actually a warm-hearted person, and after getting along with Cai Wei for a few days, she found that Cai Wei is a very good master, so she used her heart on Cai Wei's body.
Zhao Qiu didn't make a sound, but the face that had been cold was much looser, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, it seems that she was also worried about her master's safety just now!
"I'm fine, Mama Dou, Zhaoqiu, let you worry." Cai Wei smiled and got into the carriage.
Mama Dou and Zhao Qiu also sat in, and Mama Dou muttered: "Let's go back quickly, Madame must be worried at home."
Back to Bishui Villa, Du Shi was walking back and forth at the gate, constantly looking out of the gate, seeing Cai Wei come back safely, Du Shi was overjoyed, happily greeted him, the expression was like picking up a baby, did not wait for Cai Wei to get out of the car, and asked in a loud voice: "Wei'er, is Niang Niang embarrassed you?" Did you mention the matter of harmony again? Will we be able to live in peace in the future?
Cai Wei got out of the car, held her mother's arm, and walked towards Huifangyuan while talking to her.
"Don't worry, Concubine Jin treats me very well, and doesn't embarrass me, the matter of harmony has passed, and our Great Jin Kingdom has already married Princess Chaoyang to them, and there will be no more harmony in the future, and from now on our family will be able to live a non-stop life."
When Du Shi heard her words, he was very happy, and couldn't help but smile: "This is really good, in the future, our family will be able to live in peace, nothing."
There's nothing better than that! β
Cai Wei held her mother's arm and sent her back to her bedroom to rest, before going out, she lowered her eyes and said softly: "Mother, I will definitely let our family live a peaceful life, if anyone dares not to give us a peaceful birthday, I will let her have no life!" β
Brother Parrot was sent out by her, and sent to the Jingong Palace to check the security management of the Jinguifei Dormitory, if it was convenient, she would mind sneaking into the palace at night and kill her with her own hands.
However, the news from Brother Parrot was not optimistic, and the plan to assassinate at night seemed difficult to implement.
"Master, there are hidden guards all around the Jingong, there are dozens of them, and they are all first-class masters, unless we can solve them all at once, otherwise, there is only one end for sneaking in!"
Cai Wei rubbed her eyebrows, a little distressed, remembering that when she was still living in the palace, she had sneaked into Queen Mo's palace once, and that time, there was no hidden guard in Queen Mo's palace, she easily went in, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at Concubine Jin, she couldn't even enter the door, let alone kill people?
Concubine Jin must die, and besides, she has to die as much as possible, but how can she be killed?
Cai Wei thought for a while, but she didn't come up with a perfect plan, she entered the space sullenly, wandering around the space, meditating.
When passing through the forest, an alarmed pheasant flew up and flew over Caiwei's head, and a feather fell off and landed in Caiwei's palm.
Cai Wei smiled, holding the colorful feather, there was a feeling of a flash of inspiration and a sudden opening!
**
The 'Liyuan Chun' theater in the capital is the most famous theater in the capital, and even in the entire Great Jin Kingdom, the most famous 'Desheng Class' and 'Qingyun Class' in the Great Jin Kingdom are stationed here all the year round, the strength of the two troupes is equal, and they are all well-known teams in the capital, but recently, it has been rumored that the dark fragrance girl of the 'Deyun Class' and the prince Nangong of the current dynasty are hot, therefore, the Deyun class is in a certain Cheng dΓΉ, and the limelight is more 'Qingyun Class'.
Jiang Zhongren is an old drama fan, when he has nothing to do on weekdays, he often carries a teapot, and sits in the 'Liyuan Spring' for a day, today is the day when Cai Wei and Dai Yuanshan make an appointment to deliver the silver two procedures, he deliberately invited them all here, first, he can go through the trading procedures here, and secondly, he does not delay him to watch the play.
When Cai Wei arrived, Dai Yuanshan and Jiang Zhongren had already arrived, and they were sitting in the private seat that Jiang Zhongren had reserved for many years, waiting for her while watching the play.
She carried an inconspicuous burden, and as soon as she sat down, she apologized to Jiang Zhongren and Dai Yuanshan: "Two, I'm sorry, something happened at home today, so it's late."
Actually, there was nothing going on at home, she just turned into a back alley when she came out, and took gold out of the space.
"It's not in the way, the girl doesn't have to blame herself, besides, we've been watching the show, it's not a delay!"
Dai Yuanshan is worthy of being a scholar and has excellent cultivation, he invited Cai Wei to sit down and handed her the house deed and title deed he brought.
The formalities of the house are complete, and the deed of sale has already been written, Cai Wei took it, checked it carefully, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so she handed over her burden and said with a smile: "It's inconvenient to hold the silver, so I brought the gold to pay the bill, please count it, if there is no difference, let's sign it!" β
Cai Wei's baggage was filled with one hundred and ninety-five taels of gold, plus the five taels of gold she left yesterday, which was exactly two hundred taels, and in the Great Jin Kingdom, one tael of gold and ten taels of silver were equivalent, so Cai Wei's two hundred taels of gold were exactly two thousand taels of silver for the house price!
The delivery of both sides was very happy and neat. Dai Yuanshan told SΓΉ Caiwei that his family had moved out this morning, and he gave her the key to the house.
Cai Wei took the key, took the deed, title deed and sale deed, said goodbye to the two of them, hired a car, and went directly to the house.
"Master, we have arrived in Qingxian, and we have already found Miss Shen's house!"
The voice of the long eyebrows suddenly came, breaking Cai Wei's thoughts. At this moment, she was checking the situation of the house in the empty old house, and when she received a message from Changmei with her mind, she asked back: "Are their mother and daughter okay?" Can you still be smooth on the road? β
"Their mother and daughter are fine, but they encountered a little trouble on the road, but I solved it, hahaha"
The long eyebrows covered his stomach and smiled proudly, thinking of the bandits who were pinched by it yesterday, it still feels a stomachache!
Cai Wei held her forehead, and as soon as she heard its smug voice, she knew what was going on, okay, it was those bandits who deserved it, who let them do it well, they had to block the road and rob, kill people and steal goods, and they deserved to be pinched by long eyebrows.
"Thank you for your hard work, Changmei, you will stay in Qingxian for a few days, and when I am busy for these few days, I will pick you up."
"Master, you don't have to worry about me, I'll just go back by myself!"
Changmei is a divine beast, even if he returns to the capital from Qingxian alone, he can find his way, and its speed is also very fast, although it is not as fast as the white-haired tiger, but two days is enough for it to return to the capital from Qingxian.
Because Cai Wei was busy dealing with Concubine Jin, and she was going to do her best to open the trip, she really didn't have time to pick it up in the short term, so she had to agree to its mention and allow it to come back alone, but she repeatedly instructed it to be more careful on the way back!
Changmei agreed, closed his mind, and began to eat chestnuts with peace of mind.
Shen Juhua sat beside Cheng Wude with a smile, peeling chestnuts for it while talking to Yin's mother and daughter.
When Yin's mother and daughter first arrived in the Shen Mansion, they were a little restrained, after all, the other party was the daughter of the county lord's family, and they were just civilians who fled to join the family, and their inferiority complex was in trouble
It is inevitable.
However, after chatting with Shen Juhua for a while, they soon found that Miss Chrysanthemum didn't have a frame at all, she was happy and approachable, and Chrysanthemum especially liked long eyebrows, and she peeled chestnuts for her to eat.
"Aunt Yin, Sister Sanchun, Zhao Di, you can rest assured to stay here, don't see outside, it's as good as being in your own home"
Yin said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Chrysanthemum for your kindness, reasoning, we live in the mansion, we should go to see Mrs. first, but I don't know when Mrs. will be free?" Can we go and have a visit? β
Shen Juhua said: "Auntie is waiting for a day or two, today a few women from the Yin family of Bianzhou Mansion came to see my sister-in-law, my mother has been accompanying them, and when a few women from Bianzhou Mansion leave, she will come to see my aunt." β
Shen Juhua is not optimistic about Shen Furong's family business at all, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in a trick to marry an old man who can be her grandfather, she feels disgusting when she thinks about it, if she is replaced by her, she would rather die headlong than she will agree, but I heard that this family affair was actually requested by Shen Furong on her own initiative, I really don't know what she thinks!
Although Shen Juhua disapproves, she has not dealt with Shen Furong since she was a child, so she did not interfere, the blisters on her feet are her own, since she has chosen this path, she will bear it by herself in the future!
**
In the evening, when Huo Yuan returned to Bishui Villa, Zhao Qiu was waiting for him at the door.
"Huo Gongzi, my young lady is waiting for you in the 'Wangxian Pavilion' in the back garden!"
Zhao Qiu's tone was light, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he couldn't see the feelings clearly, but Huo Yuan was sensitive to the hostility on her.
For some reason, from the first time he saw this girl, Huo Yuan felt that this girl seemed to be very repulsive to him, and after Cai Wei came, this rejection had sublimated into hostility, which made him feel inexplicable, but he had to pay attention.
It seems that the origin of this girl needs to be checked!
"Okay, I'll go see her now!"
Huo Yuan glanced at her and left.
Zhao Qiu raised his head and glanced fiercely at the tall body.
Is the woman who covets her master a dead person when she is the head of the female guard?
Wangxian Pavilion
Cai Wei sat leisurely on the beauty lean, holding a thick stack of silver tickets in her hand, totaling 100,000 taels, just enough to buy the price of 'Mu Ji Shenxing'.
Today, she moved all the gold and silver in the space to the newly bought house, and found the most reputable 'Changlong Money Village' in the Great Jin Kingdom to come to the door, and they counted it and deposited it in their money bank, which totaled 220,000 taels, and exchanged them for silver tickets, which would be much more convenient to spend in the future.
"Sister Caiwei looking for me?"
Under the moonlight, Huo Yuan walked over slowly, with a warm smile on his handsome face.
Cai Wei also smiled, handed over the thick pile of silver tickets in her hand, and said, "Come and talk to Huo Gongzi about business." β
Huo Yuan took the stack of silver tickets, sat down opposite her, flipped a few times casually, and although there was still a smile on his face, his expression dimmed a little.
She is willing to accept Nangong Yi's 100,000 taels of silver, but she can't accept his participation, it seems that in her heart, she is not as good as that person after all!
He smiled shallowly and said, "It's okay, tomorrow you will go with me to the bank, I will transfer the bank to you, and by the way, I will introduce you to the shopkeeper and guys of the bank." β
"Okay!"
Cai Wei smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Great, Zhang Luo has been in the business for a few months, and finally has his own participation." β
Under the moonlight, her smile is like a magnolia flower blooming in the moonlight, beautiful people can't take their eyes off, her voice is sweet but not greasy, light and elegant.
Huo Yuan looked at the smile in front of him, and lost his mind for a moment, but immediately returned to normal, and a smile also appeared on Junya's face, and teased: "I helped my sister but I made a wish, I don't know what my sister will use to thank me?" β
Cai Wei smiled: "It's easy to thank you for the gift, as long as Brother Huo tells me what you lack most now, I will immediately find a way to help you get it." β
Huo Yuan chuckled, and spit out two words from his thin lips: "Wife!" β
Cai Wei's head almost hit the stone table, and it was hard for her to keep the smile on her face, but the smile looked stiff, as if it was engraved.
Huo Yuan rarely looked at her and looked deflated, and suddenly felt that she was in a good mood, and when she saw that it was almost over, she said slowly: "Sister, don't panic, I'm joking, my wife's affairs are unavoidable, and it's not too late to talk about it in the future, but if my sister really wants to thank me now, just embroider a purse fan bag or something for me as a thank you gift, it's better than those gold and silver treasures to be more sincere!" β
Speaking of which, Cai Wei had to agree, although her embroidery skills were zero, but after receiving such a big benefit from others, even if she drove the ducks to the shelves, she had to stand up and try, right?
When she returned to Huifangyuan, she immediately went to Fei'er's room to find Fei'er.
Fei'er was very happy when she heard that Cai Wei was going to learn embroidery from her, and immediately threaded the needle and thread, and carefully taught her sister.
At the beginning, Cai Wei felt very awkward, either the stitches were big, or the embroidery was oblique, or she pricked her hands, and she practiced clumsily for a long time before she gradually got better.
Fei'er and her sister were together, and they talked more, she told her sister some tips on learning Shu embroidery, and took the trouble to express her admiration to her sister, and also said one thing she encountered in the cloth village today.
In the morning, Cai Fei had just gotten out of the carriage and was about to enter the cloth village, when she suddenly saw a woman in front of her who had dropped her purse, and out of kindness, she picked up the purse and stopped the woman, and returned the purse to her.
The mother-in-law thanked her for her kindness, saying that the purse contained a few pieces of private jewelry from her wife, and because of some damage, she took it to the ingenuity building to repair, if it was lost, the loss of money was not worth anything, and she was afraid that those jewelry would fall on the board
The jewelry fell into the hands of the disciples, because each piece of jewelry had her wife's name on it, and if these jewelry leaked out, it would definitely damage her wife's reputation!
Cai Fei didn't take this matter seriously, but not long after the mother-in-law went, she brought her wife to thank her in person.
The lady was very young and very handsome, and after seeing Cai Fei, she actually took out a jade bracelet with excellent water head to reward her, Cai Fei was not the kind of person who wanted to be small, and refused to accept anything, and the lady saw that she insisted on not accepting it, and heard that this cloth village was her family's business, so she bought several satin back, and made an appointment with her, and often came to talk to her in the future
This matter is not a big deal, but Cai Wei still felt a little uneasy, so she told her: "It's nothing for you to have anything to do with that lady, but you can't leave the shop with her casually, you don't know your face, if she is a traitor in her heart, it's too late for us to regret it."
After a night of training, Cai Wei has made a little progress, although she can't embroider any tricks, but at least she can sew a well-proportioned stitch, Cai Wei didn't plan to eat a fat man in one bite, she was already very satisfied with being able to sew a well-proportioned stitch, and said goodnight to Cai Fei, she quietly went back to her room.
It was already late, and most of the people in the capital had already slept. Cai Wei opened the window, looked at the soft moonlight outside the window, and naturally thought of the man in Lingbei.
He could have been like other princes, in this pleasant night garden to admire the moon, or in his own mansion with friends to drink and talk, in Beijing, there are a lot of colorful life waiting for him to enjoy, but for her, he took off his brocade robe, put on his armor, went to the wild land of Lingbei, and fought to the death with the barbarian Mengnu people, in this night of full moon, he can only face the bright moon in the lonely grassland, or is lonely in the moonlight.
Cai Wei's heart hurt gently, turned around and took out a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote a letter, called out the parrot, and asked it to send the letter to Lingbei overnight, and herself, full of tenderness, turned back and forth until midnight, and then gradually fell asleep
The parrot flew to Lingbei at dawn.
When Nangong Yi saw it, he was eating breakfast with everyone on the grass outside, the food he raised on the way to Lingbei had been eaten, and now what he ate was the spoiled food sent by Jin Guifei's people, although it was fine grain, but with a musty smell, although the soldiers didn't say it, but judging from the gradually declining amount of food, everyone was extremely dissatisfied with the food in the army.
Nangong Yi had already sent someone to Beijing to report the matter to the emperor, and now he is almost in Beijing, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he eats with the soldiers every day, even if it is a musty steamed bread, he swallows it with relish.
When the soldiers saw that His Royal Highness King Qin had eaten it, they were not too picky, so they had to choke on those musty steamed buns.
Seeing Brother Parrot, Nangong Yi was naturally happy, gently held it in his hand, took out the letter on its leg, and took it back to the military tent.
Brother Parrot flew all night, and he was already exhausted and hungry, so when he saw the simple steamed buns and soup on the man's case, he went hungry to eat.
"Quack, Bah, Bah"
It spit out the steamed buns in its mouth in disgust, and quacked: "Master, master, this person eats moldy steamed buns for me!" β
Cai Wei heard its voice and exclaimed, "Are you sure you are eating moldy steamed buns?" β
"It's true, quack, disgusting, bad guy! Villain! β
Cai Wei's heart twitched, and then she said, "You go to see other people, is the food the same as his?" β
Brother Parrot flew up, flew around the barracks, and replied clearly: "It's all the same, it's all moldy steamed buns!" β
Cai Wei closed her eyes and said slowly: "I know, you don't have to come back, just stay there, I'll be there early tomorrow morning"
