Chapter 110: Yuyin Pavilion
The young masters and little servants who came and went came in and out from the side, and the sound of silk and bamboo inside came from time to time, Jiang Shun stood at the door with his feet shrunk, lowered his head and didn't dare to look inside, pulled Jiang Kai, who was looking inside on tiptoe, and asked, "Did you see it?" ”
Jiang Kai's stature is not high, compared to children of the same age, he can only be regarded as average, even if he is on tiptoe, he can only faintly see the people coming and going, and he can't see the figure clearly.
"I really can't see it here, otherwise let's go in and find it." Jiang Kai said, his eyes were still staring at the house, this is a famous gold cave in the capital, there is no money in his pocket, there is no support on his body, and he can't even enter. If he misses this opportunity, he may not be able to go in and see it in his life.
Jiang Shun stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Kai, who wanted to go inside, and shrank and said, "I, I didn't bring any money when I went out." ”
Jiang opened his eyes and snorted secretly, how could he forget that this young master was a poor bastard.
"Let's go in and find someone to spend, and we're afraid of anything if we don't bring money. When I really see the prince of Ming, such a noble figure as him, will he still let us give money? Jiang Kai's eyes lit up as he spoke, yes, what was he afraid of, he came to find the prince of the Ming Dynasty to see who dared to stop him.
Jiang Shun screamed, Jiang Kai, who didn't stop Jiang Kai, who had broken in with high spirits, stomped his feet and hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey, hey, call you, who let you in, I don't know that the little guy is going to go through the corner door next to it." As soon as he took two steps, someone called out to Jiang Shun and Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai's neck shrank, thinking about it was wrong, and he raised his head again. Squinted at the man, he said, "What is the murder, do you know who we are?" I'm telling you. We're here to find the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so let's lead the way. ”
Jiang Shun stood behind him, bowing his head and nodding with a smile, but he didn't dare to speak.
The man looked them up and down, sneering in his heart, but he didn't dare to underestimate them, for fear that they were really here to find the little overlord of King Ming. If he stops them from going, then the prince of the Ming Dynasty will make a fuss and smash this Yuyin Pavilion.
"Are you from the Ming Palace? Why haven't I seen it before? The man looked at the two of them suspiciously. It is said that the sons and gentlemen who come here, and the little servants who often bring them with them are also familiar, and the two people in front of them are very strange.
"We are not from the Ming Palace, we are from the Jiang Mansion." Jiang Shun explained.
Look at the man's sudden eyes. Jiang Kai hated that iron was not made of steel, and pulled the corners of Jiang Shun's clothes. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Although he was a little scared, he still bluffed: "The prince of the world has made an appointment with us to talk back, if you delay the matter, I will report to the prince of the world truthfully at that time, be careful that you can't eat and walk around." ”
The man's frightened face tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Please wait a while, the two little brothers, go and ask here, and we will talk back in a while." As he spoke, he called a maid over and took Jiang Kai and Jiang Shun to a table in the corner. After serving tea and snacks, he hurried to the second floor.
Wait to sit down. Jiang Kai said in a voice: "You go down, you don't need to serve here." ”
The little maid smiled and should be, but did not go far, stood still not far away, not far away, not far away, what do they need, call the little maid to come.
There were no outsiders around, Jiang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead and said, "Hey, Young Master Tang, you scared me to death just now, how can you tell the truth?" It's a shame that you didn't say that the eldest lady asked us to come to the prince, otherwise what would others think of the eldest lady when they heard it? Do you want the reputation of this girl's family? ”
Jiang Shun knew that he had said the wrong thing just after being pulled by him, although he didn't know what was wrong, but when he heard his explanation, he suddenly became enlightened, and said with some concern: "It won't really cause trouble for Ah Quinoa." ”
Jiang Kai saw that he was even more timid than himself, and suddenly felt that his image was taller, what if he was a little girl? No, I still know more than the young master from the countryside.
"Don't worry, I stopped you in time just now, fortunately, you only said that it was Jiangfu, and you didn't mention the name of the eldest lady, I think those people shouldn't have that much ability to know which Jiangfu we are." Jiang Kai drank tea and ate snacks, and said comfortably.
Yuyin Pavilion is not just a music shop, the tea and snacks in it are all top-notch, which is also one of the reasons why it is expensive.
After drinking three cups of tea in one go, Jiang Kai poured it with the teapot, but he couldn't pour out the tea, and couldn't help but mutter: "How much water can be filled with such a small pot?" This Yuyin Pavilion is to burn money. As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to call the little maid to come over and serve another pot of tea, when he saw the man who had just spoken to them on the stairs, saying something to a half-old who was still greased and powdered, and his hand pointed in their direction from a distance.
Jiang Kai stuffed a slow snack in his mouth and couldn't speak, so he had to pat Jiang Shun and point to this side speechless.
Yuyin Pavilion's mother Liu twisted her waist and shook her handkerchief while smiling and greeting the people passing by next to her, but the route ran straight to the corner where Jiang Shun and the two were.
Jiang Shun stuffed the tea he had held in front of him for half a day and stuffed it to Jiang Kai, and asked him to swallow the snack in his mouth through the tea.
Jiang Kai also knew that Jiang Shun had never seen the market, and he didn't know how to deal with these people, if he really sold the eldest lady, he would not have to skin him when he went back to Jiang. So I didn't pay attention to it, so I swallowed the dim sum with the tea, and the old man with his neck stretched.
"Hello Mama Liu." Jiang Kai wiped the dim sum foam from his mouth and shouted sweetly.
Mother Liu glanced at him, covered her mouth and smiled: "Yo, look at this sweet mouth." I heard that you are looking for the prince, and it is agreed? ”
"Yes, yes, the Jiang Mansion of the Tongzhou Mansion, the prince knows." Jiang Kai bowed his head and bowed.
Mother Liu smiled and said, "How dare you lie in front of my mother?" Is it because I'm a bully in Yuyin Pavilion? As he spoke, he shouted, "Come on, beat these two boys who are full of nonsense out of me." There is also money for these snacks and tea, give me back, and I can't give me any less. ”
The two stout guards at the door heard the sound and walked this way, rolled up their sleeves and were about to move.
Jiang Kai saw that they were serious. hurriedly shouted: "Really, it's true, we really know Shiziye." ”
"Ho. There are many people in the capital who know the prince, but not necessarily everyone knows the prince. The old lady just went in and asked, but the prince didn't know anything about Tongzhou's Jiangfu at all. If it weren't for Miss Qingfang's intercession for the old lady, it would have disturbed Yaxing, who listened to the piano. Mother Liu was angry when she thought of it, and couldn't help but scold, shaking her hand and not bothering to see Jiang Kai two more. Let people kick them out.
Jiang Kai and the others were pushed, and seeing that the situation was not right, they hurriedly shouted: "Mother Liu." Mother Liu, he, he really knows Shiziye, if you don't believe it, take him over. As soon as the prince saw him, he understood. ”
Jiang Shun was pulled. Seeing that the things in his arms had not been given away, he was also anxious, they hadn't seen the face of the prince for several days, and they saw that the Shuntian Mansion was about to open, and if they really couldn't produce evidence at that time, then Ah Quinoa would be accused of being charged.
"I know Shiziye, and he also knows me, so I bother Liu's mother to talk to Shiziye. It is Jiangshun from Jiangli Village. Jiang Shun also opened his throat and shouted. Finally, Jiang Kai heard that the Qingfang girl in Yuyin Pavilion was here today, and the prince of Ming made an appointment with several sons of the princely family to listen to the piano. They may not yet be able to find a way to meet the world. If you don't see each other again, I don't know if you'll be able to find such an opportunity next time.
The two of them knew that they couldn't be kicked out like this, so they struggled desperately, and their voices were loud, which attracted the attention of the people in the lobby, and even someone on the second floor poked their heads out of the side room.
Sticking out a head in the Xianyin Pavilion and looking at it for a while, he hurriedly retracted it, went in and whispered in Zhou Yan's ear, Zhou Yan was stunned, patted the table, and shouted: "Ah, why did you forget about this, go and stop people." As he spoke, he hurriedly stood up, and his entourage Matsuki had already run downstairs.
When Zhou Yan came out of the Xianyin Pavilion, he saw that Mother Liu below was smiling flatteringly at Songmu, and said "misunderstanding and misunderstanding" again and again, making people let go of the two young people, he squinted his eyes and looked at it, one of them seemed to be the cousin next to Jiang Qu. The other is strange.
"How did you find here?" Songmu took the two upstairs and entered a side room, Zhou Yan entered the door and asked.
Jiang Kai, who was very happy just now, was speechless at this time, this is the prince of Mingwang, if he is unhappy with a wrong word, then he will not be able to see Ming'er's sun.
However, Jiang Shun met Zhou Yan, and saw that he was very enthusiastic to help, and also saved Jiang Quinoa's life, his attitude was much calmer, and after saluting, he took out a pile of paper from his arms and said: "This is what was written down by Ah Quinoa in Tongzhou, where have those people in the house done things, or what relatives and friends have done there, I don't know if it's useful, Ah Quinoa said that we can't understand it, so let me send it to the prince." ”
The pine fruit paper was handed to Zhou Yan.
What can the people in the house know? If Steward Ma is still alive, arrest him and torture him to extract a confession, so as to ensure that everything is clear.
Zhou Yan didn't take these papers to heart, he flipped them over casually, his eyes widened more and more, and the expression on his face changed again and again, and he couldn't help but laugh at the end: "Your eldest lady is really a wonderful person." "The clues he has broken off in the past two days, because of these things, are all on his face.
"You go back and tell your eldest lady that her lawsuit is no longer a concern. In the past two days, there have been other lively things in the capital. Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Jiang Shun didn't care about the excitement in the capital, as long as Jiang Quinoa was safe and sound, he was also happy when he heard this.
In Jiang's mansion, Jiang Quinoa was half-lying on the recliner, holding a book in her hand, turning a page for a while, saying that she was reading, and her eyes also fell on the book, but when you looked closely, you found that she was at a loss in front of her, and it was obvious that she was in a daze.
The room was quiet, Jiang Chun made two wrong stitches, dropped the needle and thread in his hand with some irritability, and couldn't help muttering: "I don't know if this prince is reliable or not, it's been so many days, and there is no news at all." Regardless of whether or not you find a way to clear your name, you can bring a word of it. Their mansion is noble, we can't get in, so we can let a mother-in-law come in and talk to us. Didn't he even take it to heart, what he said that day was all a lie to us? ”
Jiang Quinoa was awakened by her words, and thought for a while: "It shouldn't be, the prince looks like a man of his word." Wasn't it rumored outside last time, the prince caught the thief and came back, and the saint rewarded him and let him receive an official position in the ministry, I am afraid that he is busy with daily official business, so he has no time to inform us. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with him, so let's wait quietly for Jiang Xi's reply from the manager. ”
Thinking about what Jiang Qu said, it is better to rely on others than on yourself, and the next day I found the papers that recorded the past of the people in the house and gave them to Jiang Xi, asking him to track down the things on it to see if he could find some clues. It's a pity that the Jiang family's foundation in the capital is too thin, and Jiang Xi spent a lot of effort to find out only the subordinates in the Tongzhou mansion, basically from three families, two of which were raided last year, and the subordinates were resold, and then they were all rewarded to Jiang Quinoa by coincidence.
Jiang Chun didn't believe this, and he was busy letting people pass the word, it's been a few days, Ah Quinoa's injuries are almost healed, and there is no news yet. If Jiang Xi couldn't find out anything, she wouldn't expect this prince.
"Miss, the food slave has brought it back." Caiyin came in with a food box, and Cailu, who followed behind, looked a little wrong, and when she saw Jiang Quinoa looking over, she hurriedly signaled to her.
"Jasmine, Mai Dong, you two go down to eat first, and then you will change with Caiyin and Cailu to serve them later." Jiang Quinoa instructed the jasmine in the house, the two saluted and slowly retreated, and Jiang Quinoa said to Caiyin: "You go to the porch to decoct the medicine, and watch it so that others don't get close to the house." ”
Cai Yin answered.
Cai Lu came over and whispered: "The eldest lady asked the slave maid to inquire about Wang Li's needlework master, and the slave maid finally heard some news from her mother who was in charge of washing in the backyard today." That Wang Li was brought back after the master went out to visit friends, and at that time it was only said that Wang Li met a bad guy on the road, and the old man happened to pass by, so he saved him. Wang Li's family suffered, the family was gone, her husband's family said that she was a lonely star, and she had seized the family wealth left to her by her deceased husband, so she had no choice but to come to the capital to join her cousin, and wanted her cousin to sponsor her to go back to Jiangnan. Who knew that when I came to the capital, I knew that my cousin's family also moved out of the capital a year ago, she had no relatives and no money, and the old man was kind-hearted, so he left her to live in the house. This Wang Li's family, she is beautiful, the etiquette rules are good, she doesn't talk much but she is enthusiastic, she stretches out her hand when there is something in the family, her needlework is fresh and fresh, and the maids like to come to her next to her when they have nothing to do, and ask for needlework. Sometimes the old man would ask her if she was used to living in Jiang Mansion and comfort her. ”
Originally, Wang Li planned to do some needlework and sell it to earn some travel expenses for her to return to Jiangnan, but it didn't take long for news to come that her family was involved in a lawsuit, her father and mother died tragically, her younger brother left the country, and there was no one in the family. She was sad, a widow was living a difficult life outside, and she originally wanted to find an embroidery girl to support herself, who knows, who knows. Cai Lu blushed and moved his mouth, but he couldn't say that.
Jiang Quinoa's hand paused, and asked suspiciously, "Who knows what?" ”
"Who knew that one night the subordinates who were patrolling the night found the old man and Wang Li in the woods!" Cai Lu's face was red, covering his hot face and not daring to look at Jiang Quinoa. (To be continued......)
