Chapter 1418: Tourmaline Bracelet
Thinking like this, Ping'er didn't have the previous resistance to Green, but she didn't be too flattering, and just said in a low voice: "Then the slave will thank Lord Xie Green." ”
Seeing that Ping'er never withdrew her hand, Green knew that her plan had worked, Ping'er had gradually been moved by herself, and her heart was slightly happy, and she clenched her silky hand again and said: "If you have nothing to do, then accompany me for a walk, speaking of which, since you came to Zhungeer, I have not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, and I will walk around with you." ”
Ping'er's heart trembled, and said, "Madam is still waiting for the slave, let's wait for next time." ”
Ping'er's words made Green a little disappointed, but he didn't force it, anyway, in his opinion, Ping'er, a little woman, has already become his bag, and it is only a matter of time before she will enjoy it, "Okay, by the way, how is your wife now?" ”
"Dr. Dong said that Mrs. these two months are very critical, if you can get through, the child can be born safely, otherwise, ......" Ping'er did not continue, but the meaning was extremely clear.
Thinking of Ling Ruo, Green's whole heart itched very much, but the last time he was drunk and misbehaved, he killed the princess of the Qing Dynasty, which provoked Geldan to be furious and almost beat him to death; So no matter how itchy my heart is, I don't dare to make trouble like this.
Until now, Green didn't know that the reason why he broke into Hanyan's felt tent and did a ridiculous thing was not an accident, but a trap carefully laid by someone.
"Okay, you go back first, and I'll look for you another day." Green said this, his fingers gently caressing Ping'er's delicate and smooth cheeks.
The temperature from the fingertips and the unique breath of a man made Ping'er, who had never been through anything with men and women, tremble, and the whole person was a little soft, and after saying a word in a hurry, she fled and left, behind him was Green's chuckle.
It wasn't until she returned to the felt tent that her cheeks were still a little hot, and she slapped her face hard to calm herself down before she lifted the curtain and walked in.
Ling Ruo was talking to Jin Niang when she saw her come in and said, "Have you put them all back to the queen?" ”
"Yes." Ping'er stood there worriedly, lest Ling Ruo ask why she had gone so much, but fortunately Ling Ruo didn't ask, and at the same time, an attendant came in with dinner. Today's dinner was extraordinary, with a bowl of freshly stir-fried asparagus and steamed sea bass in addition to the usual side dishes.
These two dishes are extremely common in the Central Plains, even ordinary people can afford to eat them, but they are rare to see in Zhungar, at least it is the first time that Ling Ruo has seen them in the past few days. Although there are fish in the waters of the lake in Zungar, the meat is so rough that it is difficult to compare with the delicious sea bass.
Before Ling Ruo could speak, Jin Niang was already surprised and said, "Hey, why are you so rich today?" ”
The cook said: "You forget, the king of Khan just took people to the border today, and he grabbed a lot of good things and came back, but there are few of these sea basses, and the king of Khan ordered that they should be kept in ice and left to Mrs. ”
"Isn't the King Khan injured? Why are you still commanding this? Jin Niang's words made Xianniang sigh and said: "But isn't it, at that time, Imperial Physician Dong was treating the Khan King's wounds, but the Khan King called me and asked me to hand over all the fresh and seasonal vegetables and sea bass to me, so that I must give them to my wife to enjoy." Speaking of this, she said to Ling Ruo: "King Khan is really good and has nothing to say to his wife, and he remembers his wife when he is injured." ”
Ling Ruo didn't speak until the cook was about to leave, and then Fang asked, "Is King Khan's injury serious?" ”
"It's not very serious, but the Khan King was injured by the musket, and it took a lot of effort for Dr. Dong to take the musket bullet out of the Khan's arm, and Dr. Dong said that the Khan King had to recuperate for a while before his arm could fully recover."
Ling Ruo knew what the musket was, in the Qing Dynasty, there was a special firearms battalion, and the soldiers in it were equipped with the most elite muskets and cannons. Whoever was shot with a musket was either killed or wounded, so this firearms battalion, although small in number, was one of the most powerful armies in the Qing Dynasty.
It's just that Geldan is just going to plunder supplies this time, how can he be injured by firearms? For Ling Ruo's question, the cook couldn't answer it.
After the cook retreated, Ping'er put the rice and handed it to Ling Ruodao: "Madam, use it quickly, otherwise the dish will be cold." ”
Ling Ruo nodded and put aside the doubts in her heart for a while, and just as she was about to take the bowl, she suddenly glanced at the bracelet on Ping'er's wrist. She is used to seeing treasures in the palace, and she recognized this as a tourmaline bracelet at a glance, worth nearly a thousand taels, Ping'er is just a maid, how can she have such a valuable bracelet, is it ......
Ling Ruo took the bowl quietly, and pretended to be casual and said, "Ping'er, the bracelet on your wrist is very beautiful, where did it come from?" ”
When she said this, Ping'er remembered that she didn't hide the bracelet in her sleeve, so she just put it on her wrist, and quickly withdrew her hand and said nonsense: "Yes...... It was given by someone the slave and maid knew, and it was worthless, but it was just worn and played. ”
Ling Ruo raised a willow eyebrow and followed her words, "Oh? Can you tell me who it is? ”
"He's just as much a subordinate as the slave, and you don't know him, ma'am." As soon as Ping'er's words fell, Ling Ruo put aside the bowl and said lightly: "When did tourmaline become so worthless that even a subordinate can afford to give it away?" Ping'er, tell me honestly, did this bracelet come from Inge? ”
Ping'er's heart jumped, and she hurriedly denied: "No...... No, how could Lord Inge send slaves and maids for no reason, madam, you are mistaken, what kind of tourmaline is this, but it is ...... It's just a bead to play with, it's really worthless. ”
Ling Ruo said lightly: "Tourmaline, the color is colorful, like a rainbow, crystal flawless, you can see if the string you wear on your hand is completely consistent with these special tourmalines." ”
Ling Ruo's words made Ping'er speechless, and Jin Niang said on the side: "Ping'er, tell the master honestly, whether this is a tourmaline bracelet, and whether it was given by Lord Green." ”
Ping'er hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Yes, I just met Master Green, he gave it to the slave maid, and the slave and maid have already been extremely prevaricated, but he must give it, and the slave and maid have to accept it." ”
Jin Niang said in surprise: "Why is Lord Green so kind to you, first gave you a jade pendant, and now he gives you such a valuable bracelet?" ”
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." After coldly spitting out this sentence, Ling Ruo said earnestly: "Ping'er, you should know very well that Green is not a good person, he will give you something, there must be a picture, as for what the picture, even if I don't say it, you should have a plan in your heart." ”
