Chapter 090: Paper Kite
When Emperor Yuan Kang heard this, his eyebrows raised: "This woman even plans to stretch out her hand to the rivers and lakes, but this ambition is getting more and more inflated." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Gu Jiang bowed down and asked Emperor Yuan Kang: "Your Majesty, now Yang Ji has conclusive evidence of raising taxes and seizing agricultural property for private property. Gu Jiang also asked His Majesty to order the removal of Yang Ji from his official position and escort him to prison to await sentencing. However, to Gu Jiang's surprise, Emperor Yuan Kang instructed him: "Yang Ji doesn't have to move first, I have other arrangements for this matter." As for those people in the rivers and lakes who have dealings with Yang Ji, Wei Tingsi keeps a close eye on me and reports to me at any time. β
Your Majesty doesn't want to dispose of Yang Ji!
This kind of cognition made Gu Jiang feel quite complicated in his heart.
He only knew that Emperor Yuan Kang favored Concubine Li before, but he didn't expect Concubine Li to do such a thing, but Emperor Yuan Kangdi didn't even want her relatives to ask about it.
Out of the Qianyuan Palace, the more Gu Jiang thought about it, the more bored he became, and a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.
The people also hope to keep a little thin field and have something to eat. But in the face of the struggle for power and profit of the superiors, it is often these humble people who are unlucky.
It's lamentable, ridiculous, and pathetic.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Gu Jiang's mouth and he shook his head.
"Click." Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of jade crushing under his feet, pulling Gu Jiang's thoughts back.
He looked down and found a paper kite under his feet, and the sound of jade shattering just now was the sound of the bamboo strip supporting the paper kite breaking.
Gu Jiang's face sank, because he recognized that the bamboo strip that could make a crisp sound of jade breaking when it was broken was made of jade bamboo in southern Xinjiang, one of the small countries attached to Great Xia.
Green as jade, texture like jade, hence the name jade bamboo.
Although this jade bamboo is abundant in southern Xinjiang, but the quantity is very scarce, and it is just a little bit of tribute from southern Xinjiang every year, and it is really priceless. The bamboo strips that can be made of jade bamboo as paper kites, the identity of their owners must be either the ladies and princesses in the palace, or the favored county lords and county lords.
As soon as Gu Jiang guessed in his heart, a little palace maid in pink clothes hurriedly ran towards him, and when she saw the paper kite under Gu Jiang's feet, her face turned white. But as a palace maid who served by the nobleman's side, the little palace maid's reserve and upbringing pressure made her suppress her emotions and bow to Gu Sauce.
Gu Jiang knew a little bit in his heart, bent down and picked up the paper kite under his feet, and asked the little palace maid: "Who is this paper kite?" β
The little palace maid hurriedly replied to him: "Lord Huigu, this is the paper kite of the lord of Xiangqiong." β
Lord Xiangqiong!
Gu Jiang quickly passed a lot of rumors about this flamboyant and domineering county lord, especially when he was on the way back to the imperial capital, he also happened to hear a colleague angrily talk about the fact that a few days ago, the county lord of Xiangqiong splashed Yang Yuzhuo, the first talented daughter of the imperial capital, with tea for no reason in the mansion of the eldest princess of Zhaode, and insulted her "dog thing".
His brows furrowed slightly, Gu Jiang looked at the paper kite in his hand, and knew in his heart that he might be in some trouble.
But no matter what he said, he was also a catcher of the Wei Ting Division, and he came and went in the wind and rain, and he never encountered anything. If the county lord of Xiangqiong is really as arrogant as rumored, no matter how big the price is, he will find a way to compensate the county lord of Xiangqiong with such a paper kite.
Having made a decision in his heart, Gu Jiang said to the little palace maid who tried her best to hide the horror on her face: "This paper kite was broken by me, I will accompany you to see the lord of Xiangqiong." β
Seeing that she didn't have to carry the black pot, the little palace maid's face was much better, and she was leading the way for Gu Jiang at the moment.
They went to the Imperial Garden, and Gu Jiang had good ears, and before he entered the garden, he could already hear laughter from inside.
But at this moment, his foot that was about to land paused slightly.
Is it an auditory hallucination?
He seemed to hear the laughter of the girl who was so frightened of him that he loved the red dress.
Gu Jiang suddenly remembered that he had heard others say that the arrogant and domineering Lord Xiangqiong also preferred red, and all her dresses were red. At this time, these rumors about the lord of Xiangqiong that he tried to search out in his mind overlapped with the girl he was happy with, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the two of them actually matched each other.
Unconsciously clutching the paper kite in his hand, such a major discovery made Gu Jiang feel both joy and melancholy in his heart.
Happily, he was able to see his goddess again.
The melancholy thing is, if Crystal is really the lord of Xiangqiong, with the disparity between them, does he have a chance?
With such a happy and sad mood, Gu Jiang and the little palace maid walked into the imperial garden.
The little palace maid went to pass the word first, and Gu Jiang waited in the distance to be summoned.
He didn't let Gu Jiang wait too long before he heard footsteps in the distance.
But what puzzled him was that the person who came was not the little palace maid just now, but a girl dressed as a maid.
She slowly walked up to Gu Jiang, blessed him, and said very politely and gently: "Lord Gu, the little maid Yang Liu is the personal maid of the county lord of Xiangqiong. The lord of my family asked the little maid to send a message to Lord Gu. β
Gu Jiang looked at this maid very politely and politely, and said in the same polite tone: "Miss Yangliu, please speak." β
Yang Liu not only said the original words of his county lord to Gu Jiang word for word: "The county lord asked the little maid to tell Gu that the paper kite is her most beloved thing, and since you have broken her paper kite, you will naturally have to give some compensation." β
The lord of Xiangqiong asked him for compensation!
I don't know if it's because Gu Jiang already has nine layers of nine layers in his heart and thinks that the lord of Xiangqiong is a crystal, why did he listen to Yang Liu's words, his expression became strange.
"Then may I ask Miss Yangliu, how does the county lord want to compensate him?" Gu Jiang's eyes deepened slightly, and he asked Yang Liu.
Yang Liu smiled at him, took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Jiang, and retired with a smile.
Gu Jiang didn't open the note on the spot, but only pinched it in his hand, and he didn't open the note until he left the palace gate.
A line of familiar Juanxiu handwriting came into view, and only nine words were written on it: Half an hour later, see you in the Jade Building.
Closing the note, Gu Jiang was like a treasure, carefully folded the note according to the original creases, and then put it in the hidden pocket of his sleeve, and left briskly.
On the second floor of the Jade Building, Gu Jiang picked a location near the window.
The shopkeeper brought the tea, and while skillfully lifting the teapot to pour tea for him, he asked him enthusiastically: "What kind of dishes does the guest order?" β
Gu Jiang didn't think about it, and read a string of dish names: "Xiao Er brought me a kung pao chicken, a sweet and sour pork ribs, a braised duck, and then steamed a sea bass, fried a jade cabbage sum, and finally cooked a lotus seed and lily pork rib soup." "There is no doubt that this long list of names is what Crystal likes to eat.
The shopkeeper wrote down the names of these dishes one by one, and said to him respectfully: "Guest officer, please wait a moment, the dishes will be ready soon." After saying that, the shopkeeper turned around and left. (To be continued.) )
