Chapter 85: Who Gave the Purple Pearl Jewelry
At noon, Wanyan Jingchen invited Nangong Yi's family to a banquet in Qingyang Palace, accompanied by the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother, in addition, Xiangyun's mother Mrs. Wu and the emperor's cousin Jingyang County Lord were also there, when Nangong Yi's family walked into Qingyang Palace, everyone had already arrived, just waiting for their family of four.
Mingzhu has been playing with Chao'er before, when Cai Wei arrived, she was already sitting in the middle of the Empress Dowager Namuhan and Chao'er, but she had changed her clothes, and the goose-yellow weft brocade jacket that Cai Wei wore for her in the morning was gone, but it was replaced by a coat made of peacock feather rewarded by the Empress Dowager Namuhan, the colorful little jacket was gorgeous, and there were small pearls on it.
At this moment, Mingzhu is happily playing with Chao'er with the snow group.
Xuetuan is a very cute dog, it twists its round body, runs back and forth on the ground according to Chao'er's instructions, sometimes deliberately bumps into the legs of the palace maids, sometimes raises its front paws and walks two steps, and excitedly erects its tail.
Mingzhu looked at the cute snow group, smiled Gege, very happy, Chao'er was so happy to see Mingzhu so happy, and also smiled happily.
As soon as Nangong Yi came in, he saw that his baby daughter was coaxed by the little boy, his face suddenly darkened, he walked over in three steps and two steps, hugged Mingzhu, and said to the Empress Dowager Namuhan: "Let's take care of her by ourselves, lest the child be naughty and make the Queen Mother unable to eat at ease." ”
The Empress Dowager Namuhan said, "How so? Mingzhu is very nice and I love her staying with me. ”
Nangong smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is in love, this girl is scalping, let Cai Wei take care of her." With that, he carried Mingzhu back to his seat and placed it between him and Caiwei.
As soon as Chao'er saw that his beloved sister Mingzhu was snatched away by the bad uncle, he immediately became angry, and immediately left the table with his little short legs and ran to snatch his pearl from the bad uncle.
Seeing that Chao'er was so excited, Cai Wei looked like she was going to fight hard with Nangong Yi, so she hurriedly got up and hugged him and said, "Chao'er, Sister Mingzhu sitting next to the imperial grandmother will affect the imperial grandmother's meal, so let her eat here." ”
Chao'er clenched her little fists and said loudly: "No, Sister Mingzhu is mine, give her back to me." ”
Nangong Yi said with a dark face: "Boy, Mingzhu is our daughter, when did it become yours?" ”
When people are jealous, their IQ is very low, Cai Wei saw that Nangong Yi really wanted to be more serious with a three-year-old child, and she was afraid of causing any unpleasantness, so she hurriedly said: "Or, Chao'er will also sit here and eat, so that she can not only be next to Sister Mingzhu, but also not affect the imperial grandmother's meal." ”
Mingzhu also said crisply: "Brother Chao'er, you just sit here, and let my queen mother add a table for us next to me." ”
As soon as he heard Sister Mingzhu say this, how could Chao'er not agree, a little face full of anger suddenly turned cloudy, and he smiled and ordered someone to add a table, and he could be next to his favorite Sister Mingzhu again.
Nangong Yi saw his daughter's elbow turned out, and actually asked the kid to come and sit with them, the whole person was not good, but, fortunately, these two little things were moving under his nose, he could hear what they said, and he could see what they did, forgive that kid for not being able to kidnap his baby daughter, thinking of this, a heart gradually calmed down.
All sat down, the Empress Dowager Namuhan introduced her niece to the Caiwei family, and after the introduction, she said with a little sadness: "My niece is a fateful one, the family has been dragged down by us, she has no father and mother at a young age, and she has suffered in the countryside for more than ten years. ”
When the county lord of Jingyang heard this, he lowered his head and wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.
Cai Wei is smart and clear-sighted, and she can see it clearly, although the county lord of Jingyang is wiping his eyes, there are no tears in his eyes, he is just pretending to show others. Seeing her so hypocritical and pretentious, Cai Wei's impression of this county lord suddenly became very bad in her heart.
Empress Dowager Namuhan continued: "Jingyang's age is not young, but she has not yet been married, she has selected all the noble young people in Qingluo Kingdom, but none of them like her, it is better for Queen Mu to help me pay attention to it when she returns to the Great Jin Kingdom, if there are young talents in the Great Jin Dynasty who are comparable to her, you might as well help me talk and make peace." ”
When the county lord of Jingyang heard this, he immediately said shyly: "Auntie, Jingyang has said that Jingyang will not marry, and Jingyang will accompany her aunt for the rest of her life." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Yan Jingchen.
Xiangyun, who was sitting next to Yan Jingchen, saw Jingyang's style, looked at the sky speechlessly, and rolled her eyelids, this is not the first time this scene has been staged in front of her eyes, how many years has it been, why can't the county lord of Jingyang be dead to her man?
Wanyan Jingchen was still calm, as if he hadn't seen the autumn waves sent by the county lord of Jingyang, and calmly helped his youngest son Wanyan Ce take the fruit to eat.
Seeing this scene, Cai Wei suddenly remembered that when Xiangyun went back to save her relatives a few years ago, she mentioned a county lord who was sticking to Yan Jingchen, and thought that the infatuated county lord was the master in front of her, she hated this kind of dead-skinned woman the most, so she smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother will definitely take the Queen Mother's instructions to heart, and set to find a wishful husband for the county lord." ”
After speaking, he said to the county lord of Jingyang seriously: "The county lord, they all say that men should get married, women should marry, the age of the county lord is not a little girl, and she can't afford to rely on it, so if you don't hurry up and plan for yourself, you really have to let the queen mother worry about you." ”
When the county lord of Jingyang heard Cai Wei's words, his face suddenly became difficult to see, Queen Mu's words were clearly mocking her in disguise for being old and about to become an old girl, she was only twenty years old, she was in her prime, where would she be old?
However, despite the many dissatisfactions in her heart, because of Caiwei's noble status, she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow this evil breath...
Halfway through the meal, Nangong Yi mentioned the purchase of grain, and he only said that a master from outside the world reminded him that there would be a big disaster in Qingluo Kingdom in two years, so he wanted to stock up on some grain and see if he could buy some in Qingluo Kingdom, and bartering was okay.
Cai Wei and Nangong Yi are kind to Wanyan Jingchen, he naturally will not refuse this idea, and immediately agreed to come down, in the past few years, God has blessed it, Qingluo Country has been smooth, there is no less storage of grain, it is good to exchange it for some money, the province has these grains and rice, in case it deteriorates and becomes moldy, it will be blind.
Nangong Yi was very happy to see Yan Jingchen so happy, and after a few glasses of wine, he took out the beads that Cai Wei had taken out of the turtle shell just now and gave them to Wan Yan Jingchen.
The bead was dazzling, and as soon as it was taken out, it instantly illuminated the main hall, and even the most corner of the main hall was illuminated. Such a treasure is a priceless treasure that is hard to find at first sight. Everyone present was shocked, and Wanyan Jingchen said: "Such a treasure, it is better for the two of you to keep it as a national heirloom, it would be a pity to give it away." ”
Nangong Yi said: "How can there be a reason to take back the things that were sent out? Since it is one of our hearts, please accept it. ”
Wanyan Jingchen saw Nangong Yi's sincere gift, so he gladly accepted it, he took the bead and looked at it for a while, handed it to Xiangyun and said, "Yun'er, you see that this bead is so beautiful, how about making you a necklace pendant?" ”
When the county lord of Jingyang saw this bead, he was also shocked by this bead, but then when he heard that Yan Jingchen was going to make this bead for Xiangyun to make a necklace pendant, his face was distorted with jealousy. She looked at her beloved cousin with a doting look at Wu Xiangyun's slut, and the slut smiled happily, as if he was showing off his happiness to her. Under the crazy jealousy, she said without thinking: "If you want me to see, this bead is brilliant and dazzling, not something that ordinary people can suppress, only our Queen Mother is the most worthy of it, why don't you use it to crown the Queen Mother, Queen Mu, what do you say?" ”
Cai Wei smiled idly, this Jingyang County Lord is really ridiculous, first sow discord, and then throw the things that offend people to her, let her be a villain, such a low number, she will not be fooled.
"In our Great Jin Kingdom, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother can't be discussed casually, as for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, who is more lined with this bead, at that time, the matter of the Majesty of the Yan Dynasty, the family affairs of others, what do we outsiders put their beaks? It's not disgusting. ”
In a word, first pointed at the arrogance of the lord of Jingyang County, who dared to talk about the queen mother and the queen casually, and then sarcastically mocked her for managing people's affairs like a long-tongued woman, which was very annoying. said that the face of the county lord of Jingyang was red for a while and white for a while, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't go underground.
Mrs. Wu had long seen that this county lord who was bent on seducing her son-in-law was not pleasing to the eye, and now she saw that Queen Mu had cleaned her up, and she almost laughed out loud, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Cai Wei: "The queen mother is really a clear and transparent person, no wonder Your Majesty respects you so much." ”
Mrs. Wu's words also have two meanings, one is to praise Cai Wei for being clear and transparent, and it is reasonable to be favored by His Majesty, and the other is to satirize the stupid and dull Lord of Jingyang County, so he is not welcomed.
The county lord of Jingyang couldn't provoke, and was ridiculed by Cai Wei and Mrs. Wu one after another, and in front of her beloved man, she couldn't help but be angry and hateful, ashamed and angry, she lowered her head and pretended to eat vegetables. Hiding his eyes full of gloom, but his heart was already on fire, and he couldn't wait to break Cai Wei and Xiangyun into pieces.
These two sluts, why are they so good, not to mention being queens, the two emperors still love them like this, what good are they, how can they compare to her?
Xiangyun saw that Cai Wei and his wife quietly cleaned up the Jingyang County Lord, and couldn't help but smile, and said happily: "This bead is not worthy of me, let's keep it for the queen mother to make a piece of jewelry, I only like purple jewelry, like this kind of sparkling jewelry is not suitable for me." ”
The Empress Dowager Namuhan said with a smile: "The queen mother knows that you are filial and wants to give me the beads to wear, but the queen mother is at this age, and if you bring such a gorgeous bead, won't you become an old goblin?" If you want me to say that Chen'er is right, I will make a necklace pendant for you to set it on the necklace, I think it will be good to set it on this purple pearl necklace. ”
At this time, Xiangyun is wearing a necklace of purple pearls around his neck, and the beads on his head and the bracelet on his wrist are also made of purple pearls, which are the kind of high-grade purple pearls, the kind that are very well-proportioned in color and size, purple pearls are rare, and it is really not easy to collect so many purple pearls at once, and they are all about the same color and size.
After Empress Dowager Namuhan said this, Cai Wei noticed Xiangyun's set of jewelry, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but the more she looked at it, the more familiar it felt, so she asked, "Did you buy this set of jewelry from my Treasure Pavilion?" I look at what looks like something from the Treasure Pavilion. ”
Xiangyun touched his purple pearl earrings, and said with a smile: "You are really a noble person who forgets things, obviously you gave it to me, it's only been a few months of hard work, have you forgotten?" ”
Cai Wei was stunned, her memory has always been very good, why didn't she remember to send Xiangyun this set of jewelry?
Seeing that she was still dazed, Xiangyun reminded, "Isn't this the one I fancied in your Treasure Pavilion when I went back to Dajin last time?" At that time, Miss Ning also took a fancy to this set of jewelry, I didn't have the intention to buy it at the time, but when I went back later, I said that someone had bought it, and I was depressed for a while. ”
Is there such a thing? Why doesn't Cai Wei remember? She thought about it carefully, and made sure that she really didn't do it, otherwise she wouldn't have no memory at all. It's just that who bought such valuable jewelry for Xiangyun, but didn't let her know?
Seeing that Cai Wei still looked thoughtful, Xiangyun smiled and teased: "It is said that one pregnancy is stupid for three years, but your children are three years old, why are they still stupid, is it stupid to give birth to one child for three years, and it takes nine years to be stupid to give birth to three?" Hehehe......"
Cai Wei also laughed, but gradually guessed in her heart who did it, thinking of that person, Cai Wei's heart sighed, don't cherish it when you have it, and only understand her preciousness when you lose it, this time, even if he finds all the purple pearls in the world for her, what's the use?
Cai Wei couldn't explain the reason, but someone was eager to grab Xiangyun's handle, and immediately, the lord of Jingyang County said with a smile: "If it was really given by Queen Mu, it has only been a few months, how can Queen Mu not remember, don't be someone else who gave the gift." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiangyun immediately retorted: "Who is stupid, giving such a valuable gift without letting people know that he gave it, if it were you, would you do this?" ”
The county lord of Jingyang said unhurriedly: "Jingyang will not do this, but it does not mean that others will not do this, perhaps, the person who gave the gift has a deep affection for you, and bought this thing for you and is afraid that you will not accept it, so it is unknown to pretend to be sent by Queen Mu, the queen think about it, is there anyone in Dajin who has deep feelings for you, but you are not willing to treat him?" ”
Since the lord of Jingyang County wants to marry Yan Jingchen, he has naturally managed to find out the bottom of Xiangyun clearly, when she learned that Xiangyun was still a second-married daughter, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, she was an innocent yellow flower girl, he didn't want a second-married daughter with average appearance, this was obviously a slap in the face, so she hated Xiangyun even more, and it was easy to catch Xiangyun's handle today, so naturally she wouldn't let it go.
At this time, Cai Wei laughed and said: "Yo, look at my memory, probably because I haven't been pregnant and stupid, I really forgot about this file, and now I think about it, and I have to remind me that I remembered, otherwise, my more than 10,000 taels of things will be given away in vain." ”
What kind of pregnancy is stupid, it is clearly to relieve Xiangyun, everyone can see it, but no one has delved into this issue, and this topic passed quickly.
The men transitioned the topic to riding and shooting, and talked about the problem of riding and shooting, although the county lord of Jingyang was angry, but Wanyan Jingchen did not investigate the origin of this set of jewelry, and she was not easy to hold onto, besides, this martial queen was not easy to provoke, she was angry with her, and she was beaten by her before, so that she was embarrassed to go out to meet people for several months.
So, I had to shut up and continue to eat......
After eating, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi wanted to take Mingzhu back for a nap, but Chao'er was like a puppy skin plaster, so they had to go with her, saying that they were unwilling to leave Sister Mingzhu.
Cai Wei discussed with the Empress Dowager Namuhan and took Chao'er back to her bedroom to sleep.
Nangong Yi looked down at the little tail he brought back, and said with a dark face: "We have to finish the matter as much as possible, go back early, and we won't be able to get rid of this stinky boy later!" ”
Chao'er raised her head, looked at the bad uncle without fear, and said in a milky voice: "Chao'er doesn't stink, Chao'er takes a bath every day, and the queen mother said that the mouth of a person who speaks badly about people is stinky!" ”
Nangong Yi was ridiculed by a little kid, and suddenly his eyes were cracked, and he said: "I am Mingzhu's father, Ming'er will take Mingzhu back, so that you can never see her again." ”
Hearing this, Chao'er's little heart was hit, he first looked at Mingzhu with red eyes, and saw that Sister Mingzhu did not deny it, and the bean-sized tears rolled down from the clear big eyes one after another, and then, he opened his mouth and cried out with a 'wow', crying loudly!
