Section 037 Jiao Wanting
Zhuo Ji's plea did not attract Xu Shuxuan's attention, because at this moment, there was a lively noise of blowing and drumming on the street of Ding'an facing the box.
Yan Pan opened the door of the box on the other side, so that the people and cars on the streets of Ding'an were bustling and lively at a glance.
A group of horsemen in orange uniforms passed through the middle of the street, and the crowd immediately retreated to both sides of the street.
"Jin Yiwei?" Xu Shuxuan couldn't help but sigh softly, because he clearly recognized that the young man in a scarlet robe on the horse riding in the front was Lu Yanzhao, a brocade-clothed guard who had recently become quite famous and feared in the capital.
Lu Yanzhao is the son of Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, both father and son are swords in the hands of the emperor, and they are also devils who often walk in the dark night.
Because they secretly received the emperor's holy decree!
With the noise of gongs and drums, a prosperous and beautiful Luan sedan chair gradually appeared in front of you, the sedan chair seems to be gilded in general, shining with the most luxurious color in the slightly thin sunlight, the sedan chair is hung with a gold wire tent, and a graceful shadow inside leads people to reverie.
"This is the emperor's newly sealed Xiangfei Niangniang? Unexpectedly, Jinyi Wei Qianhu was personally welcomed into the palace! It can be seen that this Xiangfei Niangniang is very popular with the emperor! Yan Pan held a cup of tea, took a sip, sighed lightly, but said in his heart: Jin Yiwei actually did this kind of thing, what a bargain!
His gaze was rather sticky and probing, as if to see the people inside.
"Shu Xuan, do you know why the emperor suddenly canonized this woman from the Han family as a concubine?" Yan Fan suddenly looked at Xu Shuxuan, but seeing that Xu Shuxuan also looked at the sedan chair with a thoughtful look, he continued with a smile, "Han Mo, the head of the Criminal Department, boldly recommended to the national teacher Tao Zhongwen that his sister has a strange fragrance, and the country is full of beauty, which is a good medicine for refining the elixir of immortality. β
Xu Shuxuan had a slightly surprised expression, but he was already full of disdain in his heart. Tao Zhongwen, the national teacher, is the most favored monk today.
No wonder Han Mo was able to send this sister of his into the palace, it turned out that he took the path of Fang Shitao's Chinese. But what good did it do him to send this woman to the palace? How much does Yan Fan know about this Xiangfei Niangniang? According to his lustful name, shouldn't he take this beautiful woman into his own hands?
"The palace maid's coup d'Γ©tat made the emperor frightened a lot, and the death of Concubine Duan made the emperor even more gloomy**, and now the emperor needs a woman who is better than Concubine Duan to help him regain his spirit." Yan Pan said.
Hearing this, Xu Shuxuan finally understood, it turned out that this was also a means for Yan Xiang's father and son to invite merit in front of the emperor!
It's a good way to invite a woman to pet!
However, a cool breeze blows in the face, and there is really a light and elegant lotus-like fragrance that refreshes people's hearts. Yan Pan couldn't help but take a deep breath and sighed: "The fragrance on this woman's body is really different, I don't know what spice Han Mo used for her?" β
Xu Shuxuan didn't answer, and he didn't need to answer this question.
After a while, the team of cavalry guards led by Lu Yanzhao had gone away, and the magnificent and luxurious sedan chair gradually disappeared from people's sight.
For a while, the general crowd seemed to be stagnant, and then they began to slowly loosen up, doing their own things, or talking in a whisper.
In the eyes of the people in the capital, it is not a good thing for whose daughter to be elected as a concubine, even if she is favored for a while, she may die one day.
Otherwise, there would be no palace maid who would rather bear the great sin of Ling Chi's extermination of the Nine Clans to kill the king!
Han Ling and the Yang clan were also in the crowd, watching the figure of Han Qingluo reflected in the golden silk tent gradually disappear, and the Yang clan almost rushed forward impulsively several times, wanting to save Han Qingluo from the sedan chair.
Han Qingluo also saw the Yang mother and daughter, and when she saw the tears and anger in Yang's eyes, she also shook her head many times to stop her with her eyes.
Arling is gone! This time it's really gone!
Yang suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and the burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier!
She wants to save her father! Save her brother and nephews!
If she could, she would save her life to help Ah Ling kill the traitors and be ashamed of the Jiang family!
"Mother, let's go! If we don't leave, it will be dark all night, and we won't be able to make much of a trip today! Han Ling saw that Yang was still stunned, so he urged, and Yang came back to his senses, and then lowered the curtain of the carriage and made the coachman speed up.
But at this moment, the horse's hooves suddenly neighed, as if the front hooves were raised, and the carriage where Han Ling and Yang were also fluctuating.
"You girl, you can't run anywhere, you almost ran to the foot of my horse's hooves, aren't you looking for death?" The coachman snorted.
I heard a crisp girl's voice say: "This eldest brother, please also ask your wife to save my life and my sister's life, my sister and I were robbed at home, my parents were killed by robbers, so I came to this capital to join my relatives, who knows that the relatives are no longer in the capital, we have spent all the money, I wanted to sell myself to a big family for slavery to survive, but unfortunately I was deceived by a tooth wife, almost sold us into the green building, and now I took my sister to escape from the Wanhua Building, but ...... But the crowd ......"
As she spoke, as if something terrible had happened, the girl's voice trembled and choked, and suddenly, the girl's voice rose sharply again, and she cried out: "Madam, ma'am, please have mercy and save my sister's life!" β
When Yang heard this, he hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw a ragged girl kneeling in front of her carriage with a girl with clear eyebrows and thin yellow muscles, and behind them there seemed to be two strong men following.
Seeing that the girl in the girl's arms didn't look much older than Ah Jiu, Yang suddenly felt pity, and was about to get out of the carriage to help the girl up, at this time, Han Ling grabbed her steeply, and said decisively: "Mother, don't go down, do you know that she is not a liar?" β
Han Ling's voice was originally very small, but the girl seemed to hear it, and hurriedly bowed her head and cried: "Madam, it is related to the lives and safety of our sisters, I dare not lie, our sisters were originally from Hangzhou Mansion, their homes were ransacked by Japanese robbers, and all their relatives have passed away, and now our sisters are really desperate, so we ......."
"Then why don't you stop other people's carriages, but come and stop us?" Han Ling pulled Yang back to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and jumped down by herself, she only saw the face of the girl who spoke just now, and did not see the girl behind her, at this time, the face of the girl who looked like she was only seven or eight years old came into her eyes, and her eyes suddenly widened in surprise - this girl...... This girl turned out to be Jiao Wanting!
Although this face has not yet grown, and it looks malnourished and thin, but a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows is extremely eye-catching, in her previous life, Han Ling was also deceived by Ya Po and almost sold into Wanhualou, it was also at that time that she met Jiao Wanting, who had the same experience as her, and it was almost exactly the same situation as now, they stopped a nobleman's carriage, and then begged the nobleman to take them in - this idea was also Jiao Wanting's idea!
That noble person is Xu Mingyan, the second lady of the Wei State Mansion. After that, she and Jiao Wanting entered the Wei Mansion as a maid together, but in her previous life, she didn't like to talk after her mother's death, Qin's mother thought she was stupid and arranged her to work in the firewood room, and later entered the kitchen, and Jiao Wanting became the third-class maid next to the second lady Xu Mingyan because she was very good at pleasing her master, and she was also promoted to a first-class maid, and she was very embarrassed in front of a servant in the house.
Contrary to Jiao Wanting's glorious pet, Han Ling's situation in the Guogong Mansion can be described as difficult, except for the eldest young master and the fifth young master in the mansion who will occasionally defend her, other servants and maids will often provoke trouble and bully her, so that she will repeatedly make mistakes in front of Qin's mother, and she will be beaten and scolded at every turn, and Jiao Wanting will often come to comfort her after she is punished, or send a bowl of hot soup, so she will always remember this kindness in her heart, and regard her as a sister, and believe in it.
Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous, if Jiao Wanting really treats her as a sister, why never appears when she is in trouble? But do you send a warm word or two or a bowl of "sweet soup" afterwards?
That woman probably didn't betray their friendship later, but never really treated her as a friend!
Thinking like this, Han Ling suddenly felt like a mirror in his heart.
Now seeing Jiao Wanting appear in front of her in such a pitiful manner, she suddenly felt very ridiculous!
She thought that she would never meet Jiao Wanting again in this life, but she didn't want this person to be like she was destined, and she couldn't hide after all!
And what made Han Ling feel strange was why Jiao Wanting appeared at this time, and deliberately stopped their carriage?
This is definitely not a coincidence!
By this time, many people in the street had gathered around them! The two strong men who followed them also turned around and left as if they had completed their mission!
It was she who deliberately attracted the onlookers on the street!
On the second floor of the Sakura Pavilion, Xu Shuxuan and Yan Fan were also quietly watching this qiΔ.
Especially Xu Shuxuan, when he saw Han Ling jumping down from the carriage, he couldn't take his eyes off it, this girl was wearing a layer of black all over her body today, a black jacket, a black undergarment, and a black coat, the little person actually exuded a chilling pride in it.
Han Ling knew that she couldn't be too ruthless in full view, otherwise she and her mother would be blamed and belittled by these onlookers.
So she came up with an idea, not only to get rid of the two "sisters", but also to let the people on Ding'an Street know that she and her mother Yang had passed here! Even the assassins hiding in the shadows would not dare to commit murder in front of so many people!
"How do you want my mother to help you?" Han Ling's clear eyes stared coldly at the girl, and the girl couldn't help but shudder in her heart, and then thought: Why should I be afraid of a little girl?
So she put on a pitiful appearance again: "Miss, madam, my sister is helpless now, I want to be a slave for Mrs. and Miss, I am willing to sell my deed to Mrs. Madame!" So saying, the girl had already touched her deed of sale from her waist.
And so it was! Han Ling didn't accept the deed of sale, but said, "My mother and I still have something to go out today, so it's better to do this!" I will hire a carriage to take you to Quang Ninh Bo Mansion, and you will go to my father with my tokens, and my father will take you in!" So saying, she took off a hairpin studded with pearls from her head and put it into the girl's hand.
Then, she also added: "My father Han Mo is the fourth master of Guangning Bofu, the newly appointed Dali Temple Zuo Sicheng, I don't know his other advantages, but the biggest advantage is that he will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, you look beautiful and moonlight, my father will not refuse you, maybe he will raise you as an aunt!" β
After Han Ling finished speaking, there was almost a burst of popping sound from the crowd of onlookers! And the girl's face turned white all of a sudden!
And on the second floor of the Sakura Pavilion, Yan Fan, who has been contemplating with a playful mentality, couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea!
