Chapter 321: Door-to-door
Because Emperor Chengping and the princes had an accident, Qi Jing and Yu Long had to stay down and wait for Emperor Chengping's injuries to stabilize before leaving.
The two of them discussed, asked the soldiers to find a rich family's house, and moved Emperor Chengping and those injured princes into it, the two thought that the prince was the prince anyway, even if he did such a thing, now that his identity is not abolished, he should be respected, so he wanted to ask the prince to move over, in the end it was warmer and more peaceful than in the tent.
Yu Long was busy leading the troops to station, Qi Jing went to invite the prince, and before he could walk over, he heard a terrified shout: "Prince, the prince committed suicide." ”
Qi Jing couldn't care about anything else when he heard this, and ran into the camp tent in a few steps, and saw the prince lying upright on the bed, he had no wounds on his body, but his face was pale, blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and he was holding the quilt on the bed with both hands, and he knew at a glance that he had committed suicide by taking poison.
Seeing this, Qi Jing also admired the prince in his heart, and he didn't know how he did it in places like Beiliang, so he secretly hid knives and poison, thinking about it, the prince didn't know how much time he had planned for today's matter.
"How did you serve the prince?" Qi Jing went over to help the prince clean up while reprimanding the attendants who guarded the prince.
Several attendants were very aggrieved, lowered their heads and whispered: "The prince said that he wanted to live in peace and drove us out." ”
Qi Jing took a handkerchief to help the prince wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, nodded, and did not reprimand the attendants again, he knew in his heart that the prince had made up his mind to commit suicide, and it was useless for anyone to look at it, he could always drink the poison in the air.
After helping the prince clean up, Qi Jing turned back to a personal soldier and said, "Go to the emperor's tent and open the red lacquer cabinet, there is a set of apricot-colored dragon robes in it, bring it over and change it for the prince." ”
The soldier agreed to go out, but after a while, he came in with a set of clothes in both hands.
Qi Jing glanced at it, it was indeed the set of clothes he said, so he asked his soldiers to put it aside, and asked someone to look for Yu Long, waiting for Yu Long to come, and the two of them did not dislike it, they wiped the prince's body with their own hands, and changed into the apricot-colored dragon suit, combed the prince's black hair neatly, wore a gold crown on his head, and also wore a jade pendant on his body, that is, the boots on his feet were replaced with the kind of high boots with pearls.
After cleaning it up like this, although the prince has been dead for a long time, because of the cold weather, he put it on the bed like this, and when he looked at it, he felt more handsome than when he was alive.
Seeing the prince's ignorant appearance, Qi Jing felt very uncomfortable, and he glanced at the prince again and instructed his attendants: "Go and prepare the coffin and transport the prince's body back to Chang'an." ”
Yu Long also followed the order: "Go to the river and dig some ice and calm the prince's corpse." ”
After the order, Qi Jing and Yu Long went out together, and the two of them didn't have the heart to go to see Emperor Chengping again, but slowly paced along a small river, neither of them spoke, and their steps were very heavy.
It wasn't until the evening that the soldiers came to summon the two of them to eat, Qi Jing and Yu Long returned to the camp, and the first thing they did when they went back was to ask someone to see if Emperor Chengping had woken up and how those princes were doing.
Chang'an City
Qi Jing has been gone for many days and there has been no news, so Yun Yao is naturally worried.
Now she is the only one in the Qi family, she doesn't know who to tell if she has something in her heart, so she can only renovate the happy house, and now the house has been repainted, the walls are painted in color, and many childlike paintings have been painted on it, making the house much brighter.
A thick carpet was also laid on the ground, and Yun Yao had already made a lot of wooden toys.
For example, slides, puzzles, small merry-go-rounds, windmills, rocking chairs, all kinds of wooden animals, and many slopes, hanging beds, and all kinds of small toys are piled up all over the house.
Not to mention the children, even the adults who go in and see these toys are afraid that they also want to have a good time.
Yun Yao had already set up five rooms, and there were four more, and she was going to get something more distinctive.
In one room, she was going to build a small stage, and then she made some puppets, and asked the children to take the puppets to play on the small stage, and in another room she made a very high pool, and put a lot of shells and fish and shrimp in the pool, and the children could fish here, and the remaining two rooms, she made a kemari field, and when the children were a little older, they could play kemari here.
On this day, Yun Yao was setting up the stage, and while arranging, she was thinking of getting a hand-cranked machine to play cartoons for the children to play in the future.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Haitang calling her outside the door: "Mrs., there is a guest outside, saying that it is your eldest sister." ”
"Yun Shan?" Yun Yao was stunned on the spot, she didn't understand why the cold Yun Shan came, but Yun Shan came over, she couldn't help but call into the house, she could only ask Haitang to hurry up and bring people to her house.
Yun Yao hurriedly went back to the house to change her clothes, and handed over the clothes that were soiled because of the decoration of the house to the little girl to wash, she washed her hands and face, and took her hair apart and combed it again with the clouds, and wore a five-phoenix hanging bead hairpin on her head, and a few small treasure flowers that were not big and gold-dotted and emerald, and a red coral bracelet was also put on her wrist, and the whole person was dressed extremely rich.
It just so happened that Yun Yao had finished dressing up, and Begonia brought Yun Shan in.
Haitang didn't dare to take Yun Shan into the bedroom, but arranged her in the hall, and Haitang came in and said to Yun Yao by herself.
Yun Yao said that she knew, brushed her hair again, picked up her eyebrow pencil and drew her eyebrows, slightly smeared some fat powder on her face, and sipped some rouge cream on her lips with roses.
In this way, people will become more and more energetic and imposing.
Yun Yao looked at the mirror and felt very satisfied, and asked Haitang to help her slowly come out of the inner room.
Yun Shan was sitting bored, when she heard footsteps, she looked over, but saw the pine brocade curtain opened, and a beautiful woman in costume slowly walked out holding the hand of the little girl.
But I saw that this beauty was as white as jade, with beautiful eyebrows and apricot eyes, Qiong nose and cherry lips, walking like a weak willow supporting the wind, and Gu Pan was even more radiant, she was really a fairy concubine-like character.
Look at the beauty of the dress, silver and red tight-fitting small cotton jacket, tied with the same color inlaid with silver trim leather skirt, covered with water red fox hair pinched teeth embroidered folded branch lotus gown, a black hair combed with a cloud bun, gold and jade jewelry on the head, especially the five phoenix Chaoyang hanging bead hairpins, the phoenix mouth holds a few strings of pink rice grain size pearl string beads, the bottom of the string is a drop-shaped ruby dangling in front of the forehead, and the ear pendant of red gold jadeite is shining.
Such a character, such a dress is really beautiful, extremely rich, so that Yun Shan almost dare not recognize it.
It took a long time for Yun Shan to get up, her voice was choked, and she shouted with tears in her eyes: "Third sister? Are you the third sister? I haven't seen you in years, and my sister doesn't recognize you anymore.
Yun Yao's lips opened slightly, and her eyebrows and eyes smiled: "I almost don't recognize my sister anymore, sister sit down." ”
Yun Shan sat down and looked at Yun Yao again, although there was jealousy in her heart, she also knew that she was self-aware, knowing that she could not compare to Yun Yao in this life and this life, even if she tried hard, she would not be able to reach Yun Yao's current status and identity.
That Fang Sheng is already old, Mo said that he himself is not a very shrewd person, and he does not have much talent for being an official, even if he has great ability, but at this step, the official will not be promoted, and he will only be able to stay in the fifth or sixth rank official position when he dies, and it is difficult to go further.
Fang Sheng is no more than a petty official of five or six grades, and Qi Jing has become a super-grade marquis, and Yun Yao has also become a super-grade lady, she can't compare with her.
Even if it can't be compared, Yun Shan can only be small and low, hoping to keep the wealth in front of her.
Yun Yao couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when she saw Yun Shan behaving like this, but in the end, this was also the original sister, and she couldn't beat people out without asking, so she could only laugh forcefully: "Our sisters haven't seen each other for many years, and we won't be unrecognizable, look at me, although I have some eyes, I still recognize my sister's appearance." ”
Yun Shan quickly wiped her tears and smiled: "Yes, how can you say that we are all close relatives, we should be closer than others." ”
Yun Yao smiled and instructed Haitang: "Don't hurry up and serve tea, what are you waiting for." ”
Begonia hurriedly greeted the salute and went down to prepare tea and snacks.
Yun Yao looked at Yun Shan at this time, and saw that Yun Shan had not seen her for a few years, and the whole person was old, and the shadow of the delicate and gorgeous little woman she saw on the first day was gone, and she was much calmer, but she also had accidents and cowering, thinking about it, I am afraid that life has not been good in the past few years.
When Yun Shan saw Yun Yao looking at her, she shrunk her neck, and her whole person was a little childish, and asked with a forced smile, "How is my sister doing now?" Is my brother-in-law okay? ”
"Okay." Yun Yao nodded in response.
"That's good, that's good." Yun Shan smiled: "I said a long time ago that my sister is blessed, look, don't you tell me to be accurate." ”
At this time, Begonia served tea and snacks, Yun Yao invited Yun Shan to drink tea, and wanted to ask her why such a cold day came, and if there was something wrong, she heard a chaotic sound outside, as well as hurried footsteps.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Yao hurriedly stood up and walked outside.
Before she could reach the door, she saw Steward Zhu running over with a sweaty head, and said as she ran: "Madam, the master has sent a letter, and the master asked someone to bring the letter back." ”
"Really?" Yun Yao was overjoyed, and when Steward Zhu came over, she asked, "When did the master say he will come back?" ”
Steward Zhu smiled: "It's only been a few days, so Mrs. should read the letter." ”
Yun Yao immediately took the letter, looked at the wax seal and vermilion lacquer outside, and made sure that the letter had not been opened, so she opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.
She did this, but she frightened others, Steward Zhu and Haitang were startled, and even Yun Shan was too frightened to speak anymore.
"Ma'am?" Steward Zhu tried to scream.
Yun Yao came back to her senses in an instant, hummed, and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Zhu, something is wrong." (To be continued.) )
