Chapter 187: Coming Forward
At this time, a guard strode over, saluted Jiang Mi, and said respectfully: "Madam, this is an invitation sent by the prince." ”
Please post? Jiang Mi waved the woman away and reached out to take it.
After opening it and taking a look, Jiang Mi frowned and said, "There is a banquet?" ”
"Yes." The guard said respectfully: "Wang Gongzi said that soon spring will be over, and every year in Bianliang City, a big banquet will be held at the time of the curtain spring, and there will be many powerful people in Bianliang City to participate. Madame went to see His Majesty tomorrow and happened to attend this banquet. ”
Jiang Mi nodded, she turned her head and asked, "I want to visit Wang Gongzi, did he say when he was free?" ”
The guard replied: "Childe said that he will meet his friends in the Zuiyue Tower in the north of the city in an hour, and if Madame is interested, he can move to the Zuiyue Tower." ”
Jiang Mi thought for a while and said with a smile: "You say that, I'm really interested." She nodded and ordered, "Then you go and report it first, and say that I will go to the Drunken Moon Tower in an hour." ”
After dropping these words, Jiang Mi returned to the newly decorated main garden.
After waving away the maids, Jiang Mi took a bath, and then walked to the bronze mirror while wiping her long black hair.
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar faces in the bronze mirror, Jiang Mi was a little distracted.
Her own face is no worse than Yang's, if Yang is noble, alienated and gorgeous, then her original appearance is better than fair, as if she is not stained with the dust of the world, which happens to be a kind of beauty diametrically opposed to Yang's beauty.
After Jiang Mi looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, he secretly thought: It's really a change for a while, the way I look now is that I met Cui Lang, and he is afraid that he will be stunned. Jiang Mi's current appearance is very different from that of two years ago, it should be said that she has completely grown up.
After staring at himself in the mirror for a while, Jiang Mi sat in front of the dresser and slowly became more relaxed.
In the past few months, Jiang Mi's disguise has changed a little.
If a year ago, when she played Yang, she was relieved that she wanted to be completely different from her original face, then in the past three or four months, she has slowly turned Yang's face into her own true face.
She thinks she's going to be strong enough to be fearless, so she's going to take her time to be herself.
Two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Mi was easy to look at, and the Yang family in the mirror looked closely, and he already had a part of Jiang Mi's own face. Jiang Mi tilted her head and looked at it for a while, then nodded with satisfaction.
She returned to the wing, and deliberately picked out a set of dark red clothes with a little purple to put on, and then looked in the mirror, and felt that the whole person of the Yang family in the bronze mirror looked more valuable, Jiang Mi nodded with satisfaction again.
Then, Jiang Mi took two guards and got into a carriage and drove in the direction of Zuiyue Tower.
Perhaps because Chai Rong is indeed a good emperor, Bianliang gives people a prosperous and energetic feeling inside and out. Jiang Mi's carriage drove down the street, and from time to time you could hear the slang songs casually sung by passers-by, as well as the cheerful shouts of merchants in the shops on both sides.
Bianliang City is so prosperous, Jiang Mi's carriage drove on the street, and it was actually stopped three or four times by pedestrians, which is really not much in this era of war.
At this time, Jiang Mi heard a guard shouting, "Madam, Zuiyue Tower has arrived." ”
Jiang Mi turned his head to look at it when he heard this.
The drunken moon building, but built on the Bianliang River, the gorgeous three-story attic, with the busy traffic of pedestrians by the bridge, is really pleasant.
After a while, Jiang Mi's carriage stopped, and a guard said outside, "Madam, it's here." ”
Jiang Mi nodded, and she slowly got out of the carriage.
After all, Yang's face is rare, and as soon as Jiang Mi appeared, many people around him turned their heads to look. In their gaze, Jiang Mi walked up to the Drunken Moon Tower.
It is the lively time in the drunken moon building, just go up the steps, you can hear the faint sound of the piano inside, and the fragrance of wine and meat.
Jiang Mi stepped into the Drunken Moon Tower.
Naturally, Jiang Mi's appearance made the guests in the lobby quiet a little. In Xiao Er's astonishing gaze, Jiang Mi bowed his head slightly at him and said with a reserved smile: "I have friends who are feasting on the third floor. ”
“…… Okay, guest, guest officer, please! ”
Jiang Mi nodded again and walked up the stairs.
Jiang Mi hadn't walked up to the second floor yet, but she heard bursts of laughter on the second floor, and she secretly thought: The business of this Zuiyue Building is really good.
While thinking like this, Jiang Mi stepped up to the second floor.
Again, Jiang Mi's appearance made more than a dozen guests on the second floor who were leaning on the railing to watch the scenery look back.
Just when these people looked back, Jiang Mi's casual glance was also stunned, standing on the right side, leaning on the railing and laughing, was it Cui Ziying? Jiang Mi's eyes turned again, and found that the second floor was sitting or standing, all of them were young girls, all of them with beautiful faces and lovely smiles.
Yang's face was still very shocking, and after being stunned for a while, the girls watched Jiang Mi walk towards the third floor in a daze.
After a while, Jiang Mi heard the whispers of the girls behind him, "Who is this big beauty?" "Ah, I have never seen such a beauty among the palace concubines of His Majesty, she is so unique." "She's Yang." "Which Yang?" "Mrs. Yang of Youzhou." "Oh my God, it's her."
When he arrived on the third floor, Jiang Mi found that all the young and powerful people who stayed on the third floor were young and powerful, some of them were tasting wine, some were whispering in groups, some were playing chess, and some were holding on to the bar, looking towards the second floor below, as if they could see the nobles below.
Similarly, Jiang Mi's appearance made these teenagers stunned.
Wang Yi walked out of a few scholars who were obviously young scholars, he greeted Jiang Mi, and after a salute, he said with a smile: "Mrs. Yang is here?" You may be seated, please be seated. ”
Jiang Mi turned her eyes, and finally saw the figures of several noble ladies in a few half-open rooms, at that moment, her eyes rolled, she looked at Wang Yi with a smile, and whispered: "Why didn't you sue me, you are looking at each other here?" ”
Wang Yi looked at her gently, and also lowered his voice and said: "Because only when I meet you on this occasion can I make the world believe that Wang Dashang and the Yang family of Youzhou are a little ambiguous." ”
Jiang Mi never expected him to say this, and she couldn't figure out Wang Yi's intention for a while, feeling the seriousness in Wang Yi's tone and the concentration in his eyes when he looked at her, she frowned.
At this time, two young men surrounded Wang Yi with a smile, they looked at the beautiful Jiang Mi with interest, and asked Wang Yi in their mouths, "I don't know who this lady is?" ”
Wang Yi hadn't answered yet, and behind him, a young man said in a clear voice: "I know, this lady is the Yang family of Youzhou!" ”
I have to say that the name of the Yang family in Youzhou is still very loud, not to mention anything else, just the two territories of the Yang family in Youzhou with a large area are enough to amaze the world. You must know that some small countries in this world are as big as the territory of the Yang clan in Youzhou.
The young people turned their heads one after another. In their amazed gaze, a young scribe laughed loudly: "I heard that Mrs. Yang is also called the female lord of Youzhou, and today it seems that she is indeed extremely noble. ”
The young scribe called this with no malice in his tone. Because Youzhou is located in the territory of the Hu people, if Jiang Mi cuts a piece of meat in which country in the Central Plains, maybe some people are afraid of it, but the more land occupied by the Hu people, the more they occupy, the more the Central Plains people like.
Hearing the young scribe ask with a praising smile, Jiang Mi also replied with a smile: "Don't dare, the son has won the award." She glanced at a few open rooms, and saw that several of the ladies inside did not come out to greet her or invite her to sit down, Jiang Mi smiled, and simply chose a place with the brightest sunlight to sit down.
Jiang Mi had just sat down, and suddenly, a young man from a powerful background smiled lightly: "I heard that Mrs. has been very beautiful in the past two years, but I don't know if Mrs. has any plans to recruit a son-in-law?" If you recruit a son-in-law, how about the lady? ”
As soon as the young man's words came out, several laughter rang out in all directions. To be honest, Jiang Mi has a side room and does not enter, so he sits in the middle of these men like this, and is ridiculed and ridiculed.
Faced with the young man's unceremonious question, Jiang Mi smiled, she glanced at Wang Yi on the side, and ignored the eyes that he secretly signaled to pull on him, she didn't care what her brother-in-law was planning, she was Jiang Mi, and she didn't want to have a relationship with her brother-in-law at all.
Jiang Mi retracted her gaze, she took the tea respectfully sent by the guard, lowered her head and took a sip, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your attention, but the little woman has no intention of recruiting a son-in-law." ”
Hearing her answer, all the young people felt sorry one after another.
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the second floor.
Hearing the familiar exclamation, it should be Cui Ziyue's exclamation, Jiang Mi raised her eyebrows, and turned to a guard to take a look. The guard immediately understood, turned and went downstairs.
In the blink of an eye, the guard went upstairs, and he strode up to Jiang Mi's side and whispered in her ear.
When Jiang Mi heard this, she immediately stood up, and in the face of the eyes of the young men, Jiang Mi was blessed, and Ying Ying smiled: "The little woman still has a little matter, so leave for a while." ”
With that, Jiang Mi led a few guards towards the second floor.
On the second floor, all the women were in a mess, and it was Cui Ziying who screamed, and at this moment, a drunk man who didn't know where he came from, was hugging the concubine of the Boling Cui clan tightly. And Cui Ziying and the noble girls obviously have an agreement, the servants are not around, at this moment, she is so light, the noble girls around her are just in a hurry, and two of them stepped forward to pull the drunk desperately, but their strength is too small, the drunk still hugged Cui Ziying tightly, and a stinky mouth ignored Cui Ziying's screams and struggles, and was trying his best to kiss him!
The only fortunate thing is that this drunken moon building is really lively and noisy, and the commotion on the second floor has not yet attracted the attention of the upper and lower floors.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Mi's face sank, and she was suddenly glad that she didn't leave the guards below with the crowd!
Without hesitation for a moment, Jiang Mi ordered in a deep voice: "Go out of the two, one person stop the third floor, don't let people come down, one person stops the first floor, stop everyone who wants to go upstairs!" ”
After receiving her order, the two guards answered at the same time, and just as they stepped forward, Jiang Mi drew one of their swords with a whoosh. The two guards were only a little stunned, and then they quickly separated, and stopped at the top of the staircase.
At this time, Jiang Mi had already strode over.
After she came behind the drunk, she didn't care about the chatter of the women, the sword in Jiang Mi's hand suddenly lifted, and stabbed down neatly, with the sound of "porphyry", the tip of the sword stabbed into the drunk's back, and blood splashed everywhere in a blink of an eye, in the screams and screams of the women, the drunk opened his mouth and ho-ho twice, fell to the ground with a plop, and bled all over the ground in a blink of an eye, and couldn't get up again......
No one expected this change, and for a while, all the nobles were frightened. In the lobby on the third and first floors, footsteps were constantly heard, and occasionally people kept asking, "What happened?" "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
But those people were all blocked by two guards at the top of the stairs and couldn't come.
After Jiang Mi stabbed the drunk man to death with a sword, she slowly turned her head, her eyes were like electricity, and after scanning the dozen or so noble girls on the second floor, the bloody sword in Jiang Mi's hand pointed at them, and when the nobles screamed and retreated, Jiang Mi said: "You are the fifth daughter of Zhang Shilang's family?" You are Zheng Qiu'er, the concubine of Zheng Shangshu's family, right? Hey, this is a bit of a face, let me think about it, yes, you only moved to Bianliang City this year, the eldest daughter of the third room of Lord Lan's family......" That's it, Jiang Mi called every noble girl present by name one by one, and after calling the name of each of the noble girls present, she brushed her long hair behind her ears with beautiful movements, and said: "Mrs. Ben doesn't know who wanted to harm the Cui family girl today, and I don't know who brought this man up, but these are not important." Mrs. Ben only needs to send all your names to Cui Zixuan, and the famous Cui Lang will check the leak! ”
After Jiang Mi's words stunned all the noble girls, she glanced at the women again, and said coldly: "There is one more thing, if what happened today, who can't help but publicize it, I think that person is the poisonous woman who framed Miss Cui behind the scenes, with Cui Zixuan's wisdom, naturally he can also find out." ”
After all, Jiang Mi is a character who has seen blood killing, and when she said this slowly, the women suddenly felt cold to the bone marrow, and everywhere her eyes went, several noble girls had shrunk into a ball.
At this time, Jiang Mi smiled, and she said again: "Of course, Cui Zixuan can't find out, and Mrs. Ben actually knows it." As soon as Mrs. Ben came to Bianliang, she knew the names and origins of the dozen or so people here, so it can be seen that Mrs. Ben has been paying attention to you, don't you say? After the words made the faces of the nobles turn pale, and they became more and more afraid to move, Jiang Mi turned her head to look at Cui Ziying, who was crying continuously with her head shrunk and holding her shoulders.
Jiang Mi, who is familiar with the rules of the family, frowned when she saw Cui Ziying's appearance at this moment, she lifted her shirt with one hand, making Cui Ziying stand up, seeing that she was still unwilling, Jiang Mi raised her palm and slapped her with a "snap"!
With a heavy palm, Cui Ziying stopped choking, and after having some consciousness in his eyes, Jiang Mi said coldly: "How many people are struggling on the edge of life and death, even your brother Cui Zixuan has gone from life to death and death to life so many times." Why, your dignified daughter of the Boling Cui clan was frightened by such a trivial matter? ”
Jiang Mi's words were like knives, and word by word seeped into Cui Ziying's ears. Cui Ziying slowly raised her head, and when she met Jiang Mi's concerned eyes, she threw herself into Jiang Mi's arms with a "wow", hugged her and cried loudly...... (To be continued.) )
