Chapter 67: Jade Ming
Not to mention the turmoil in the capital, for Rong Ning, the past few days have been quite distressing.
I don't know why, the princess of the Ziyu Kingdom who has the reincarnation of Empress Yuan, Jun Ruji, came to her twice and three times, even if the Ziyu Country is not good, she is also a dignified princess, Rong Ning thought about it, but still did not refuse.
A few times ago, Jun Ruzhen just came in the name of admiring the "style" of the county lord of Qingyang, but this time the situation was a little different, and Jun Ruzhen came together, and there were several noble ladies, from the point of view of acquaintances, there were Qingyu County advocate Yanyan and Yue Feifei, the girl in the tender yellow skirt I saw in Kailian Temple last time.
Yue Feifei was wearing a water-green robe today, mingling among the girls, and winked at Rong Ning, looking very cute. Most of the other people Rong Ning didn't know, but looking at the appearance and dress of these people, I am afraid that their status is not low.
A few people sat on the second floor of the warm incense pavilion for hospitality, and from the window of the pavilion, they could see a large peach blossom forest blooming not far away.
The big girl in the house stepped forward to skillfully brew a cup of tea, Jun Ruzhen held the teacup with both hands, and smiled gently: "I'm really embarrassed that I didn't tell the county lord in advance that there are so many people to bother." ”
There were two county lords present, I don't know if she was intentional or unintentional, and she didn't specify the title, and the other girls looked at Zhang Yanyan vaguely.
Zhang Yanyan didn't see anything on his face, Rong Ning smiled, and said, "No matter how many guests come, I welcome it, but it's just ......" she muttered, "I don't know if the whole of the Purple Jade Country has always been a princess, your style of acting, if that's the case, the next time I am lucky enough to visit the Purple Jade Country, I will also have an experience." ”
What she said was actually asking whether the entire country of the Purple Jade Kingdom was like Jun Ruji, if Jun Ruzhen admitted it, then I am afraid that the Purple Jade Country would be ridiculed, after all, Daliang is the most important etiquette; And if Jun Ruzhen denies it, then she is admitting that her behavior is inappropriate in disguise.
As soon as she said this, Jun Ruji's smile froze.
A woman in blue hurriedly came out to play a round, "Sisters and sisters are also more lively when they get together, by the way, Lord Qingyang, I will call you Rong Ning, my name is Lu Man, and you can also call me by my name." ”
Her attitude was hearty and generous, and she reacted after everyone, and introduced herself to Rong Ning one after another.
Except for Rong Ning, all of whom were present had known each other since childhood, and they all knew each other better, and the purpose of their gathering here today was very intriguing. If nothing else, the envoys of the Ziyu Kingdom will not stay in Daliang for long, which shows that every move of Jun Ruzhen has her meaning.
Rong Ning's heart sank, and he didn't know what kind of fierce battle he was facing today.
Following Lu Man, several others introduced themselves one after another, and Rong Ning knew that Yue Feifei was the granddaughter of the current crown prince, no wonder she would raise this temperament.
Lu Man, as the favorite daughter of Lu Yuan, the head of the household, is familiar with Lu Yuan on weekdays, and at this time she spoke unequivocally: "Rong Ning, the scenery of your county lord's mansion is unique." She got up and walked to the window, pointing out the window: "Look, there's a big bird over there." ”
Her excited cry caused everyone to gather by the window, and sure enough, as she had said, a huge eagle-like bird was perched on a peach blossom branch, and the trunk of the tree could not bear its weight and swayed up and down.
Everyone stared intently at the eagle, which turned its head this way as if aware that someone was peeping at it.
On weekdays, there are generally no eagles in the county lord's mansion, Rong Ning thought about it, probably born and raised in the forest made for the big cat.
That forest is not allowed to enter and exit casually on weekdays, because in addition to dangerous species, Rong Ning has caught some of them, and the shallow places in the forest can still be explored, and she is not allowed to set foot in the depths of Rao, who is a big cat.
The eagle was hovering in the air, and everyone thought it was going to fly away, but many people withdrew their eyes and returned to their seats, but they didn't expect an exclamation to suddenly come from the window.
"Look! What does it hold in its mouth? ”
Rong Ning followed her words, but she didn't expect that there was really something in the eagle's mouth. It's a little hard to see from a distance, but it's a little weird that its mouth glows in broad daylight.
Jun Ruzhen was stunned, and it took a while to recognize: "It's Yuming!" ”
Jade Ming?
Legend has it that the officials of the Purple Jade Country above the third grade will carry a piece of jade with them, which is made of their flesh and blood.
If this is the Jade of the Purple Jade Country...... Rong Ning frowned, made a decision immediately, and instructed the little guy outside the door: "Find someone to help me shoot down that bird, and don't let it escape." ”
As soon as the order came out, several strong men immediately climbed on the peach blossom tree, ready to catch it while the strange bird was not paying attention, but I didn't expect the strange bird to be very clever, not only was not frightened, but the leisurely tree scurryed, the tree scurryed, it had been a quarter of an hour, several strong men were tired and out of breath, and another wave of people came.
Several noble ladies didn't know why everyone was so concerned about this "Jade Ming", and they were busy asking the people around them, and after learning the answer, their eyes on Rong Ning changed a little.
Everyone is not really out of the door, and the daughter of the boudoir who does not step out of the second door has some understanding of what is happening in the capital. While secretly sighing why they went out today to catch up with this troubled water, they secretly looked at Rong Ning.
Not to mention whether she had a motive to murder the officials of the Purple Jade Country, the appearance of this giant bird in the county lord's mansion was really unlucky.
Without time to pay attention to the gazes of others, Rong Ning was alarmed by a noise from Your Excellency.
She looked at the guy who was arguing with the other person: "What's the matter?" ”
The little guy wrinkled his face: "Miss, Dali Siqing outside the mansion insisted on breaking in, saying that there was something important to do, and the minions couldn't stop it, so I rushed to tell ......."
As he said, soon, Shi Zheng appeared in the peach blossom forest with a group of people, and Rong Ning asked the others to stay in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion and go to see it himself.
Shi Zheng only had "The case is about to be solved!" in his heart at this time! "There is salvation!" 's joy, who paid attention to Rong Ning, but because he had trespassed into the county lord's mansion, he said: "The old man also had to make this decision in order to handle the case, and I hope the county lord will forgive." ”
Since he said this, how could Rong Ning say anything, the guards in Dali Temple were really much stronger than the guards, and he directly raised his bow and arrow and shot at the bird.
But for some reason, Rong Ning always felt a little weird. According to the bird's original posture, even if it couldn't dodge in the face of a rain of arrows, it would not be shot down by an arrow.
One of the guards ran up to check, "My lord, the bird is dead." ”
He fiddled with its wings, found that it was lifeless, and then opened its mouth to take out the jade and offer it respectfully.
