Chapter 205: Lost Consciousness
Facing Qinghe, who was a little worried, Lin Jue shook his head, "No." I just suddenly remembered some possibilities. ”
After speaking, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter paper inside, and unfolded it.
Familiar handwriting comes into view.
Words are like people.
But Nangong Yi's handwriting is very different from his cold person.
Most of the time, his words are crazy, arrogant and uninhibited, with teeth and claws, just like countless unpredictable martial arts moves, recklessly acting on rice paper.
skimmed the title at the beginning, and when he continued to look down, Lin Jue was stunned again.
- Remember to take your medicine and don't think about me.
Lin Jue: ......
What the hell is this?
Throughout the article, there are only these eight words.
Remember to take your medicine?
Why does this sound so swearing?
She didn't give up, and turned over the letter several times, and even brought the envelope back to the front of her, and studied it carefully.
But no matter how many times I studied it, there were still only a few words that had no beginning or end.
"Remember to take medicine", Lin Jue can understand. She was poisoned by Gu some time ago, although it has been cracked, but in order to prevent the residual poison from remaining in her body, she must also drink a dose of special medicinal soup every seven days, Nangong Yi is reminding her not to forget; "Don't think about me", she can understand.
But what is the point of Nangong Yi sending such an inconsequential two sentences all the way?
Could it be that there is some mystery hidden in these eight words?
Thinking like this, Lin Jue began to carefully study the eight wild grass words on the Goryeo paper.
Qinghe saw that she was so serious. I couldn't bear to disturb the side, so I quietly retreated and closed the door.
But until the wee hours of the morning. Lin Jue still didn't see the reason, but his eyes began to be a little dry because he had been staring at an object for a long time.
But she was reluctant to go to sleep, Nangong Yi's life and death were uncertain, and every moment of delay, Nangong Yi's danger increased by one point. She is not worried about the safety of Nangong Yi, Nangong Yi is her father's proud apprentice. If something happened to him, Lin Taibu would definitely be so sad that he couldn't do it. Her father was too old to suffer such great sorrow. That's why Lin Jue made up his mind to go out to find Nangong Yi.
However, to find him, the most important thing is to determine where he ended up, but this ......
Lin Jue's gaze fell on those eight words again. Because I've been staring at it for too long. She was starting to lose out what those words were now.
The wick in the silver candlestick on the table had burned out, and the faint sound of chickens began to crow not far away.
The dry eyes can still hold on, but as soon as the upper and lower eyelids fight, things become very unrelenting. Lin Jue dragged his tired body to the side of the bed, and his kimono fell directly on the wide stepping bed.
Nangong Yi, you bastard, where the hell are you? ……
In a daze, he seemed to see him walking towards him. With a light smile, just like when you were a child. With a dazzling light in her eyes, Lin Jue wanted to reach out and hold it, but Nangong Yi was like the moon reflected in the water, every time she stretched out her hand, the reflection began to shake, and finally disappeared.
Throughout the night, in the changing scenes of dreams and realities, fear and unrelieved sadness, Lin Jue was tired and sore. When I woke up the next day, there was already a bruise under my eyes, like a cat and bear living in Shu.
"Girl, how did you become like this?"
The thrush who originally came in to help Lin Jue wash up, saw this and couldn't help but scream in fright.
"What's wrong? Isn't it just that your eyes are a little blank? ”
Lin Jue didn't care.
Anyway, if you stay at home all day and don't go out, it doesn't matter if you don't have energy, right?
"But today there are guests coming ......"
Thrush saw her thoughts.
Guest?
Lin Jue frowned.
What kind of guests will come to the Lin family today?
"This year is the old lady's 60th birthday, hasn't our family been messy all this time? The second master wanted to take the opportunity of giving the old lady a birthday, rushing to be happy, and sweeping away the bad luck. ”
"Do you have a birthday today?"
Lin Jue was stunned, why did she never know?
"Well, it's today. It is estimated that you often go to the eldest princess's mansion these days and do not stay at home, so you missed this news. ”
"Thrush, you go and call Qinghe in."
"But girl, it's not too early, so let the slave maid help you freshen up first, right?"
Even if Lin Jue doesn't care about it, but when the guests come later, how can he look so listless?
"Don't worry, you go and call her in first."
Lin Jue suddenly found that she had missed a very important whereabouts point about Nangong Yi, and she had to confirm it with Qinghe.
She estimated that she was in a hurry yesterday and was stupid, and she forgot a key person. As Nangong Yi's right-hand man, Liu Man must know more about his whereabouts, as long as you ask Liu Man where Nangong Yi appeared last time and where he went, wouldn't it be clear?
Therefore, as soon as Qinghe walked in, Lin Jue asked endlessly, "Where was the last time he appeared?" ”
“……”
Faced with this headless question, Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then reacted and whispered, "A month ago, after repelling the invading Tartars, the general returned to the camp. But the next day, Vice General Liu did not find him in the barracks, and he was not seen for several days, as if he had evaporated from the world. ”
Lin Jue's heart couldn't help but pwitch, sure enough, things were not as simple as he thought. However, how could Nangong Yi really evaporate from the world? What really happened to him?
- Remember to take your medicine and don't think about me.
These eight words came to mind again. can be combined with the disappearance of Nangong Yi mentioned by Qinghe, these words seem to be saying goodbye to Lin Jue, don't think about him, don't look for him, where is he going?
Thinking about it, I'm still confused.
Just when she was worried, Second Master Lin had already sent a maid over, and she was about to celebrate her birthday, so Lin Jue should go to Shoutang early.
Shoutang is located in the main hall of the house, the hall hangs a horizontal couplet, the middle hangs a big "longevity" word, the left and right sides and below are a hundred blessing words of different shapes, meaning that the hundred blessings are longevity, and the blessing and longevity are complete. On both sides, there are three stars of blessing, Lu and longevity. The two sides of the Shoutang are very symmetrical and each hangs three longevity paintings, the first painting is an evergreen pine and cypress, the second is a plum bamboo show, and the third is a painting of a crane and a brocade chicken.
There is a big red carpet under the hall, with Shouping and Shoulian on both sides, and brocade accounts are set up around it as a foil.
On the longevity screen, a small seal is used to narrate the life and merits of Mrs. Lin, in order to show her high morality and noble status. The Shoulian deliberately used the inscription in the four-word auspicious language, which means auspicious wishes.
In the middle of the hall house, there are long tables, eight immortal tables, Taishi chairs, large seats are arranged on both sides, red chairs are draped, red chair cushions are placed, silverware and porcelain are placed on the table, and longevity wine, longevity fish, longevity noodles, longevity cakes, longevity fruits, longevity peaches and so on are enshrined on it. It's so dazzling that it's overwhelming.
When Lin Jue got there, he found that there were already many people standing around, all of them were unfamiliar faces at first glance, and they were probably some relatives and friends in the second room.
In the inner room of the Shoutang, there are a lot of birthday gifts brought by people who come to congratulate the birthday. There are not only longevity gold, but also food boxes and clothing, and most of the food boxes are shou peaches, shou cakes and noodles.
Although he had just been told to celebrate his birthday today, Lin Jue still brought his own birthday gift, a pair of jade jade bracelets from Wuyi Kingdom. The reason why such a valuable birthday gift can be given is thanks to the immensity of the emperor's grace. First the reward of the Empress Dowager Xiao and the eldest princess, and then was canonized as the county lord, Emperor Zhaoyang rewarded a bunch of beaded hairpins and cloth, except for some pawns, Lin Jue usually did not use it much, so these rewards were all kept. Therefore, it is easy to give the old lady a pair of jade bracelets as a birthday gift.
However, although she had tried her best to show Xiàn's low profile, such a generous and generous move still attracted the attention of others.
"Sure enough, it's still the eldest granddaughter's filial piety, this pair of jade bracelets, I'm afraid it's expensive, right?"
There was a lady in a crimson brocade dress with sharp eyes, and she immediately recognized the value of the jade bracelet offered by Lin Jue.
The voice is not loud, but in the not too big Shoutang, it is enough to attract the attention of others. Seeing this, everyone also came over, and Lin Qiong's colleagues and female relatives in the Hanlin Academy came to congratulate him, and when they saw the pair of jade bracelets in the brocade box, they couldn't help but be speechless.
The Lin family is not a big family in Kyoto, and there are no relatives who are high-ranking officials in the clan, so most of the people who came to celebrate their birthday today are businessmen or petty officials, except for a few officials from the Hanlin Academy, so their horizons are inevitably not so broad, and their temperament is also a little childish.
"This jade bracelet is transparent and flawless, it's really rare......"
"This is made in Wuyi, right? In the jade shop at the entrance of our East Street, the price is several thousand taels of silver. ”
"Tsk, people say that the daughter is an intimate little padded jacket, I see, the granddaughter is the intimate padded jacket!"
There was a lot of admiration around, and Lin Jue was a little helpless.
It's just a pair of jade bracelets, isn't it so exaggerated?
"But our second lady is now the lord of the county, and her status is noble, so it is also appropriate to send some valuable things to grandmother. Second Miss, don't you say? ”
And another woman spoke.
"Third aunt, that's what you said."
Lin Jue smiled and nodded.
But she retreated in her heart, she knew that there were so many people now, so she would send it later, so as not to add so many unnecessary things out of thin air.
However, everything has been delivered, and everyone has seen it, and now it's too late to say anything.
"Second girl, your marriage to General Nangong is in December this year, right?"
Someone else asked.
"Really? That's a great thing! ”
"When the time comes, I hope the second girl will help me more......"
These people either live in the suburbs of Beijing or have come from the south, and they don't know anything about what is happening in the upper circles of Kyoto, and naturally they don't know that Vika has now lived in the Shogun's Palace. (To be continued.) )
