Chapter 287: Resurrection
The streets of the capital at night are quite quiet.
The carriage of the Marquis of Jingyuan drove slowly by, and the sound of wheels and horses' hooves was rhythmically intertwined, wafting in the cold wind.
In the car, Lu Qingrong didn't feel a trace of coolness.
Looking at the knee-high copper stove in the middle, she couldn't help but wonder what would happen if this thing fell over...... Thinking about it, his body subconsciously leaned towards Jiang Xuan's side.
Jiang Xuan gently hugged her, saw her staring at the stove, and didn't explain to her that the stove was actually firmly fixed to the car.
Every time he came back from the Lu Mansion, Lu Qingrong's mood was excellent.
Today is no exception.
Leaning on Jiang Xuan's side, Lu Qingrong said slowly: "I didn't expect people to come so neatly today, even my cousin was released by my uncle." ”
"Not really!" Jiang Xuan quipped: "Fortunately, I also came, otherwise I would be the only one who lacked me, and the sin would be great." ”
Lu Qingrong nodded thoughtfully, and the smile between his eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden.
Today's Yin Pingru's birthday, in addition to Lu Chengjie and Fan's family, who originally lived in Lu Mansion, Lu Fangyu and Lu Qianyu also went back with their husbands.
"In my opinion, we can start to organize the land on Changqiao Street now and keep it for Zihao and them!" Jiang Xuanjian said.
"Huh?" Lu Qingrong didn't know what he meant.
"When I went to my father's study just now, Di Qian was concerned about Zihao's township test and asked him how he was reading, and on a whim, his father asked him to come up with a question to test Zihao." The more Jiang Xuan spoke, the deeper his smile became.
Looking at his expression, Lu Qingrong knew that eighty percent of his cousin was foreign again.
Jiang Xuan continued: "Di Qian casually said, 'The people can't start with worry, but can be happy with happiness'...... Zihao asked him to repeat it several times, and scratched his head for a long time before he stumbled and said something like 'don't let the people worry too much, let them be happy'......"
Lu Qing smiled tolerantly, his face still twitched, and he said angrily: "In my opinion, this is all brother-in-law's, isn't it, can't he pick a sentence from the Four Books and Five Classics!"
Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded: "However, Di Qian is usually a person who does not smile, and it is the first time I have seen him smile like today!" ”
"You're laughing too?" Lu Qingrong twisted his eyebrows and asked pretending to be stern.
"Nope." Jiang Xuan said: "I've heard this kind of joke a lot, and I'm used to it." ”
"Ahem." Lu Qingrong was slightly embarrassed, and secretly thought in his heart that in the future, he would tell him less about his childhood, especially related to Lu Qianyu.
She was still a little worried about Yin Zihao: "What is my father's reaction?" Didn't teach him a lesson, did you? ”
"That's not true, my father doesn't care about these things, not to mention that today is still a happy day." Jiang Xuan hooked his lips, "I just made fun of him, and asked him whether this book was read with Mr. Chu or with your second sister......
Before Jiang Xuan's words fell, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but break his skills, and laughed out loud.
Along the way, the two discussed in the carriage what kind of restaurant should be built on the land on Changqiao Street......
When they returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already past the third quarter of the first month.
originally planned to rest after changing clothes and bathing, but at this time, Cao's mother and Mo Nan and her party came back.
When Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan heard the news, they immediately invited Cao's mother to the hall.
I saw Cao's mother standing alone in the middle of the room, dressed in brown silk cloth armor, and at this moment she was wearing a camel-colored cotton cloak on her arm, obviously coming to return to her life as soon as she returned home.
"Son, Mrs. This time I went to Zhangqiu, and with the help of Mo Nan, I recovered most of Mrs. Jiang's relics. Cao's mother said respectfully.
"There's Mother Laocao." Jiang Xuan's tone was extremely sincere, and even had a hint of gratitude.
He rarely spoke to people like that.
Cao's mother was a little flattered.
"Where's the incense burner?" Lu Qingrong couldn't wait to ask.
Mother Cao pointed to a gray cloth bag on the table next to her: "This slave doesn't dare to slack off, and she always carries it with her." ”
Lu Qingrong stepped forward and untied the cloth bag with his own hands.
In front of him is a gilded cloisonné enamel incense burner, the cloisonné pattern on it is as shiny as new, and there are no scratches on the three corners below, which shows that it is indeed very well preserved.
Lu Qingrong cautiously opened the lid, but he couldn't smell any smell, only saw some traces of burning out inside, and a few oil stains.
"Do you know what's in here?" Lu Qingrong raised his head and asked.
"The slave didn't dare to show it to others at will." Mother Cao said truthfully: "According to Mrs. Jiang's old habits, her favorite incense is sandalwood oil, these traces are very similar to those left at that time, and there is nothing abnormal to see." ”
Sandalwood oil?
Jiang Xuan really didn't know much about incense.
Lu Qingrong sounded a little familiar.
After recalling for a while, I remembered that in the "Compendium Collection" she read a few days ago, this thing was mentioned, saying that it has the effect of sedation and sleeping, and it is a relatively common kind of incense, and it is indeed not an abnormal thing.
"After such a long time, can you still accurately identify the ingredients in the incense at that time from these traces?" Lu Qingrong didn't know much about this.
"This ...... The slave and maid don't understand. Cao's mother said frankly.
"Tomorrow, I'll go find someone and ask." Jiang Xuan said softly to Lu Qingrong. He planned to ask the imperial doctor to help him see it first, and if there was no result, maybe he could find another person who specialized in understanding incense.
Lu Qingrong nodded, and asked Mother Cao to take a few maids and servants to carefully store the rest of Mrs. Jiang's relics in the treasury of the Yu Courtyard.
At this time, in her heart, she didn't have much hope for the incense.
Although Mother Cao claimed that she didn't know very much, she had been by Mrs. Jiang's side for many years and was very familiar with Mrs. Jiang's diet and daily life.
But the previous package of medicine has been confirmed to be no problem.
Lu Qingrong has always believed that Mrs. Jiang's sudden death must be problematic! Even if this incense is normal, it only shows that the evidence is well hidden.
She always believes that as long as it happens, it is impossible not to find the slightest trace!
At this moment, Jiang Xuan was not idle, but went to the study to see Mo Nan.
"Found the person sent by Madame Wu?" Jiang Xuan asked him as soon as he came up.
"Found it." Mo Nan replied: "Those people really didn't go to Zhangqiu. ”
"Went to Cheongdam Temple?" Jiang Xuan seemed to say it casually.
After Mo Nan was surprised, he hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”
After so many days, if Jiang Xuan can't think of it anymore, he will inevitably forget too much. R1152
