Chapter 47: Exceeding the Rules
In the past, when she was in Duanwang's mansion, she had never made a fuss because of drunkenness, but this time she was dizzy and drank with Hu at the birthday banquet, after lunch, she wondered if she should explain the cause and effect to Mu Yan, and when she got up in the morning, she heard that Spruce said that he stayed in the study yesterday.
After being entangled for a long time, Jiang Liyue dressed neatly and walked to the door of the study, but suddenly felt timid, tiptoed outside the door and looked in for a while, and then hesitantly paced back and forth outside the door.
After repeating it like this, it was rare to make up his mind, and Xiang Qingdi stood behind him: "Young lady, Lang Jun asked the villain to ask you, what are you going to do outside the study?" ”
Somehow, this question made her feel a little weak, and her head was a little chaotic after a hangover, and she replied after a while: "Ah, it's nothing, I turned over a book yesterday, and I understood a few steps, and I thought about it to ask Lang Jun for advice." ”
Xiang Qing scratched his head, and his face was full of doubts: "But I remember that the young lady and Lang Jun stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a day yesterday, and then they got drunk again, how can they still have time to read the scriptures?" ”
“••••••”
Jiang Liyue laughed dryly: "You are very careful to observe, is Lang Jun inside?" ”
Naturally, if it weren't for Mu Yan instructing him to be still waiting for pen and ink in it at the moment, after seeing Xiang Qing nodding, she beckoned to him, and Xiang Qing hesitated for a long time and leaned closer: "Let me ask you, what can Lang Jun say to you after he came to the study from my garden last night?" Have you been in your study since last night? ”
did say a few words, but at that time, he was in a difficult mood, and Xiang Qing and Yuanqing couldn't comment much, so they could only stand aside and listen to Mu Yan's self-talk, and then Xiang Qing shook his head: "No, Lang Jun rested after returning to the study." ”
Although the words sounded true, Jiang Liyue always felt that Xiang Qing was comforting her at the moment, she answered with her eyebrows drooping, regained her courage and bent her fingerbones and knocked on the moon gate in front of her, and only after hearing the person inside responded, she pushed the door in.
Mu Yan listened to her enter, glanced up at the figure behind the screen, put away a booklet on the table and handed it to Yuan Qing, his voice was low but with some majesty: "Go down first and do as I say, and give me out if I didn't behave properly." ”
The girl who had almost poked her head out from behind the screen trembled in fright, and hurriedly hid behind the screen, laughing to relieve her tension: "How can Lang Jun be angry." ”
Seeing that she hadn't approached the bookcase for a long time, Mu Yanfu raised his eyes again: "What are you doing behind there?" Did you do something wrong? ”
"Naturally not, I just heard that Lang Jun was dealing with important matters, and I thought it was inconvenient to bother, so I will stand here for a while, and I will go when you finish handling things."
Mu Yan glanced at the figure on the screen inexplicably.
Since he suspected that there were spies in the mansion before, he was very concerned about investigating the rest of the servants in the mansion, after all, when he entered the palace last time, he had drawn a clear line with Concubine Shu, according to Concubine Shugui's actions, naturally he would not easily let the marriage between the two go smoothly, in order not to be limited to people, he could only gradually investigate from the mansion first, and first eliminate people with ulterior motives, but this matter is very easy to startle, so he can only spend more time and more observation.
As everyone knows, Jiang Liyue is a little weak-hearted, seeing that Jiang Liyue refused to step forward, he simply put away the unfinished scrolls under his hands first, and went to the back of the screen by himself, took her hand and walked in: "Ink for me?" ”
The two of them were across the table, the pitch-black ink stripes lined her jade-white fingertips more luster, Jiang Liyue carefully studied the ink while looking at Mu Yan's face distractedly, and lowered her eyes after a while: "Lang Jun, did Yue'er do anything out of line last night?" ”
She quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Yan, and added: "The so-called knowing mistakes can improve greatly, if Yue'er really does something beyond the norm, I hope Lang Jun can forgive me." ”
Mu Yan only glanced at her, lowered his head and continued to use the wolf to hold something on the rice paper, Jiang Liyue unconsciously looked at him in a trance, the original white rice paper was covered with words after a long time, he tapped the table with his knuckles, and motioned her to study the ink seriously: "Be serious when you study the ink, and now the ink in the inkstone has been exhausted." ”
Jiang Liyue nodded, her fingertips twisted the ink strips and continued to grind, the jade wrist rotated from time to time, and when Mu Yan stopped halfway, she asked again: "Lang Jun, what should I say just now?" ”
After the rice paper was covered with dense words, Mu Yan put aside the wolf's hair, raised his eyes to look at her, and raised his eyebrows: "Do you remember what happened last night?" ”
Being stared at by him, Jiang Liyue was a little overwhelmed for a while, and simply closed her eyes and said honestly: "Actually, I probably don't remember, so I came to ask Lang Jun, if Yue'er did something that exceeded the rules and said something beyond the rules, can Lang Jun forget it?" ”
No wonder I have been trembling since I entered the study, I was worried that I had done something I shouldn't have done, and it would be really difficult to find fault with what happened last night.
Mu Yan glanced at her meaningfully, and said thoughtfully: "If I say that you really did something extraordinary, will you admit it?" ”
Jiang Liyue stretched out her hand and rubbed her cheeks, thinking that she would not lose the rules too much, so she simply nodded regardless of the three seven twenty-one: "Naturally, Lang Jun said to listen to me, if it is really Yue'er who is overstepping the rules..."
"If it's really overstepping? When? ”
Jiang Liyue's eyes rolled: "If it's really me who has exceeded the rules, let Lang Jun punish me." ”
When he was sober, he was really an understanding person, the corners of Mu Yan's lips unconsciously raised an arc, and he became interested in an instant, he stared at her and slowly spoke: "Last night, Mrs. also read the name and surname of the son of the Qin family in her sleep. ”
As soon as Qin's name and surname came out, Jiang Liyue only had to think about it to know what happened last night, this matter was really a bit tricky, her pair of watery apricot eyes also stared directly at his unfathomable eyes, and exhaled like an orchid: "Then I must have scolded him in my sleep, so Lang Jun felt that I insulted him and said too much, didn't I?" ”
Mu Yan nodded with a smile, his shoulders couldn't help but stir a little, in order to cover her ears, he pointed to the pear wood chair not far away: "You rest first, I'll take you out for a break after dealing with the current matter." ”
Jiang Liyue had just said that she couldn't remember the drunkenness last night, and after listening to Mu Yan's words, she didn't remember any details, and now seeing that Mu Yan really didn't remember her behavior when she was drunk, she breathed a sigh of relief, quietly moved her small steps and sat on the pear wood chair, holding her jade cheeks and looking at Mu Yan who was busy.
After Mu Yan straightened the booklet on the table back to its original position, he asked, "Did you have a headache when you got up?" ”
Jiang Liyue shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, it's strange to say, when I used to read those books, they all said that drunk people would have a headache when they got up the next day, why am I safe and sound?" ”
If it weren't for the trouble she made yesterday and rubbed her Fengchi acupoint, now this girl doesn't know how many times she should have screamed for pain, Mu Yan glanced at her: "If you don't feel the pain, you can drink more at the banquet next time, maybe you can become an immortal by drinking a few more cups." ”
On her birthday, she had resisted all the past, but after only a few glasses, her lower abdomen had become the appearance of yesterday, and now she didn't dare to drink easily anymore with Jiang Liyue's courage: "On yesterday's birthday, I had to resist a lot, but I couldn't bear the enthusiasm of everyone, and I didn't drink it in the past." ”
Just after Mu Yan's glance, she somehow felt inexplicably weak, and the tip of her empty finger tapped on the edge of the pear wood chair as if nothing: "Where is Lang Jun going to wait for me later?" ”
Mu Yan stopped what he was doing and explained, "You'll know when you go to the street." ”
The fact that the trip to the mansion was so mysterious made Jiang Liyue immediately overjoyed, her eyes lit up, and she began to think about finding something she had never eaten before when she passed by the market.
After Mu Yan put the booklet back in place, he called Yuanqing, who was guarding outside, into the house: "The guards who will be sent to follow behind will be selected, and you must ensure the safety of the young lady when you travel later." ”
Yuan Qing bowed slightly, thinking of the letter from the other end of Jizhou today, Mu Yan frowned: "What did the spies on the other side of Jizhou say?" Are there still people harassing the border these days? ”
At this moment, there was a sheepskin map spread out on the table, and Mu Yan pointed over with a solemn expression: "The troops over there are relatively weak, but they are really in dire straits, and I will play again tomorrow when I go to court." ”
Yuanqing followed Mu Yan and frowned: "Childe said that what are the Hu people plotting now?" Although the weather has been stable recently, the flood is the weakest time for border defense, and if there are really Hu people mixed into the displaced people, the consequences will be really unimaginable. ”
In the past, the first emperor in the reign has been sending strong soldiers to defend in the area of Jizhou, when the Hu people and Da Liang made a truce agreement, it has really not been a dispute for a long time, but the new emperor ascended the throne, the opposite end of the palace and the Mu Mansion as a tiger, has not been reused, the border defense is now weak, if there are really displaced people at this moment to provoke disputes, the border of Jizhou can not be supported for a long time may be occupied by the Hu people, and now there are few generals guarding the border, it is the best time for the Hu people to take advantage of the weakness.
When he was at a loss, it was better to go outside to find new ideas, Mu Yan rubbed his somewhat sore eyebrows: "You go and park the carriage in the backyard, and you will come out of the back door later." ”
After Yuanqing left, Jiang Liyue got up from the pear wooden chair: "Lang Jun wants to go out of the backyard later, but it's to hide people's eyes?" ”
Sure enough, now that the two have more and more tacit understanding, many things can't be hidden from her, and Jiang Liyue has been influenced by this in Duanwang's Mansion since she was a child, so she naturally learned some skills to observe words and feelings: "Lang Jun doesn't need to work too hard, I believe that Lang Jun will come up with a perfect way." ”
Mu Yan bowed slightly, slowly opened the door of the study, and turned sideways to let Jiang Liyue go out first: "Do you want to change into light clothes?" ”
At the moment, Jiang Liyue is wearing a Luo skirt, if she goes to the street, it is not inappropriate, she usually shows people in men's clothes in Jizhou, but now she has another way: "I think this body is good today, I will go back to the garden and ask Spruce to take the veil for me." ”
Jiang Liyue was about to step forward, Mu Yan pressed her shoulder from behind, and Nunu pointed to Xiang Qing who was waiting outside the door: "You go and get the veil for Madame, and by the way, you will call Spruce and Handong together." ”
