Chapter Fifty-Three: We See Each Other Often
Jiang Liyue looked in the direction that Mu Yan pointed, and saw the vendors next to the wine shop that had made two trips at a glance, the legend of Kong Ming Lantern he said was very much to her liking, she hesitated in place for a while, and nodded: "It just so happens that Yue'er does have a wish, since she has come here, it seems that she can't go without putting Kong Ming Lantern." ”
After Mu Yan responded, he wanted to take Jiang Liyue to go in person, but he could see that there were many people in the wine shop, and he was worried that Fang Cai's danger would reappear, so he thought about it for a while and sent Yuanqing to go.
Yuanqing, who had received the order, had already taken a few steps forward, and Jiang Liyue saw a female jade beside him holding a Kong Ming lantern in her hand, and hurriedly stopped Yuanqing who was moving forward: "Yuanqing, buy two when you go." ”
After Yuanqing continued to move forward, Mu Yan's gaze was on her as if he was nothing, and she explained: "Since you are here and want to make a wish, it is natural that you and I will make a wish." ”
Mu Yan turned sideways slightly, and couldn't help but reach out and gently scratch her upturned Qiong's nose: "You are on the way, and you know the truth of one person making a wish." ”
"Then since I asked for a Kong Ming lantern for Lang Jun, can Lang Jun think about what wish he wants to make?" Jiang Liyue looked up at Mu Yan with a small face full of hope.
"Naturally, it is..." Mu Yan looked at the look on Jiang Liyue's face carefully, and said lightly: "I wish the country and the people are safe." ”
When he was really a good courtier, thinking about the affairs of the court all the time, Jiang Liyue's eyes flashed with a trace of unknown emotion, and he couldn't help frowning, withdrew the hand resting on him, and said without distinguishing his emotions: "Lang Jun is really ambitious, don't you ask me what I want?" ”
As if she was extremely unhappy in her heart, Jiang Liyue stretched out her toes and kicked the pebbles by the lake as if she was angry, and turned her head to look at the candy man vendor not far away.
Mu Yan looked at her, reached out and rubbed the top of her hair, took the person into his arms in the next moment, carefully dropped a kiss on her forehead, and said in an almost whispered tone: "Naturally, there is still a wish, and you are not separated from the white head, can Mrs. still be satisfied?" I was just making fun of you, but I didn't expect you to be so teasing. ”
It turned out that there was still a wish, no wonder Fang Cai's expression was a little strange, Jiang Liyue's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, Yuan Qing, who had been ordered to buy Kong Ming lanterns, saw the two hugging each other when he returned, and he was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to react, Mu Yan raised his eyes and saw him standing still in place, and quietly stretched out his index finger and hooked him.
Jiang Liyue didn't know the situation behind her at all, and after a while, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in Mu Yan's ear: "Yue'er's wish is very simple, her family is healthy, and she and Lang Jun often see each other every year." ”
After Jiang Liyue finished speaking, she stood in place, seeing that Mu Yan didn't move at all, the ghost turned her head in a daze, and didn't look back, and when she turned around, she saw Yuanqing standing in place with a smile, and her heel that had just stood firm was almost unstable again, and finally she had to cover her lips and cough slightly.
Seeing this, Yuanqing sneered in a low voice, handed the two Kong Ming lanterns to Mu Yan, and handed the wolf hao that he had just borrowed to the two of them: "If Lang Jun and the young lady have any wishes, write them on the Kong Ming lantern, and then find an empty place and then burn it out." ”
Jiang Liyue's face was a little red, and after taking the wolf, she lowered her eyes and wrote without saying a word, but it was Mu Yan standing beside her, her face was as usual, which made her feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately, it didn't take much time to write the wish on Kong Ming's lantern in the end, and the embarrassing situation was quickly overturned.
After the three of them released the Kong Ming lantern together, Mu Yan and Jiang Liyue temporarily rested in a pavilion by the bridge, while Yuanqing went to return the wolf's hair, and when he turned back, he also brought back a sugar man with a begonia pattern.
Jiang Liyue's eyes lit up when she first saw the sugar man, and Yuan Qing had already handed it to her: "How does Lang Jun know that I want to eat sugar man tonight?" ”
"When you first got married, I inquired about your preferences, and besides, you often stared at the candy man shop, but you didn't mention it, so I bought it on my own initiative."
"If Madame likes anything in the future, just say it, I can still give it a bunch of sugar people."
It is clear that the words in the front are quite romantic, and the back is too serious, but Jiang Liyue is already satisfied, she took the back of the sugar man and looked at it for a long time, before she said slowly: "Thank you Langjun for being considerate of me." ”
After the two walked around the shore of Nanhu Lake, they turned around and went home, and after Mu Yan and Jiang Liyue boarded the carriage that came to the car, Yuan Qing drove the horse away in front.
Zhao Yin and his entourage, who were originally hidden in the shadows, stared at the carriage for a long time, and after the shadow of the carriage dissipated, several people appeared, turning their heads into a side room in the wine shop next to the market.
In the wing, the small servant in the store retired after presenting tea, Zhao Yin entered the wing, first explored the surrounding situation and confirmed that there was no doubt, and sent a person to guard the door, and the rest of the people sat around the round table in the wing.
A group of ten people, after sitting around the round table, Zhao Yin took out a drawing from his waist and spread it on the round table, the woman in the purple dress looked at it intently, and replied after only half an hour: "The pattern on the jade plate carried by the prince just now is this piece, how did the adult find this person?" ”
"Really?" Zhao Yin sighed slightly: "Our group has been searching for nearly ten years, across all states, if we can really find His Highness this time, it will be worth it." ”
The woman in the purple dress who spoke was named Zhao Qiaoyin, Emperor Baicang valued her very much during her lifetime, although she was a daughter, but because she followed the side of the strategist of the dynasty since she was a child, she learned a lot of skills, and after Emperor Baicang and Emperor Daliang laid down a piece of the country, he ordered to reuse a group of people in their current house, if it were not for the subsequent Baicang Emperor fell into the trick of the first queen and died, they would not have run for ten years just to find the orphan of the original Baicang Emperor.
In the past ten years, they have wandered around Daliang, and they have searched countless times but have not found any trace of the orphan of Emperor Baicang, and the only clue on their body is the jade plate and the mark on the orphan's body.
Zhao Qiaoyin learned some skills because of his co-conspirators, and when the strategists returned to the mountains and forests, he had been with Emperor Baicang for more than half a year, and now although he has been twenty-eight years old, his memory is very amazing, and she only looked at the jade plate a few times to remember the jade quality of the jade plate, and the pattern on the drawing she has remembered deep into the bone marrow, and she has recognized the jade plate as on the drawing.
"I took advantage of the chaos to see the truth, indeed the pattern is exactly the same as on the drawing, and the jade I felt that it was indeed different when I touched it, but I heard the master say that the jade plate on His Royal Highness has a mystery, if we get the opportunity to enter the Mu Mansion, maybe we can find more mysteries, and then we can determine whether that son is the person we are looking for."
Zhao Yin has led a group of people to look for a long time, in order to save his life, Shi Yin and the Huns pretended to be Hu people, if it wasn't for the wise move at the beginning, the first queen would have annihilated them in one fell swoop.
Now that we have new clues, we shouldn't give up easily: "Now that we have found the target, we should plan for the long term, and it is a coincidence that I have met with that lady in Jizhou, but maybe it was because I disguised my face and she was a little panicked, so she didn't recognize it." ”
"I remember that the first time I saw the jade plaque was on her, and it seems that the two of them are probably husband and wife."
Zhao Qiaoyin nodded very approvingly: "Probably yes, and I think the relationship between the two of them is roughly good, but how should we act in the future?" ”
Zhao Yin's fingertips tapped lightly on the table, and he thought for a while: "Don't be in a hurry for a while, it's a blessing to have clues at the moment, so I sent Jinghe to follow the carriage, let's see which mansion the couple are in first, and then plan for the rest of the matters." ”
As soon as the words fell, the unclosed window of the wine shop was immediately loosened, and everyone lifted the sword on the table with vigilance for a moment, Jinghe pushed open the window, and landed lightly, seeing that everyone's expressions were solemn, and their faces were a little uncertain: "Why are you all so nervous?" Didn't you tell you that I was going to follow the couple? ”
Everyone saw that the person who came was Jing He, immediately accepted the sword, and sat back in place, Jing He picked up the tea cup on the table and drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat: "The couple is in the Mu Mansion, today's lady is dressed and looks graceful and luxurious, I inquired about the people around, saying that the lady is the pearl of King Duan's palm, and the son is the second son of the prime minister of the dynasty, but it is said that this time the son was adopted by the old lady, by the way, what clues did you find today?" ”
Mu Yan was actually adopted by the old lady of Mu Mansion, plus the jade plate that Fang Cai could match, Zhao Yin always felt that the truth was about to surface, but everything had not been confirmed repeatedly, and it was difficult to make a conclusion at the moment: "That jade plate seems to be the one left by the first master, but I haven't seen it up close for the time being, and now it is not certain." ”
Jing He's eyes were happy, and he told the truth about the information he had just inquired about from outside the Mu Mansion: "I heard that this prince and his wife are newly moved mansions, and now the mansion is the time to employ people, but that prince is very cautious and very strict with the attendants and maids recruited. ”
The whereabouts of their group from the Xiongnu border to this place had always been hidden from the outside world, and no one in Kyoto knew their identities except for each other, so they needed to be very cautious in what they did.
Zhao Yin pondered for a long time, stretched out his fingertips and pointed at the three people present: "The three of you will go to the Mu Mansion tomorrow to try it, but your swordsmanship can't use the same set as before, everything related to the previous master must be hidden, and not a word can be leaked before the truth is revealed, if you can enter the Mu Mansion, it will be easy to find the clues in the future." ”
The people he sent to the Mu Mansion were all cautious in the past, and they were good at hiding their edges, and the three people he assigned were slightly bowed, and after Zhao Yin assigned the people, Zhao Qiao asked in a sneering voice: "Boss, why don't you let me go, if I go to be the lady's maid, I seem to be able to find out one or two of them." ”
"It's not appropriate." Zhao Yin pondered for a while, and then said: "You also know the situation, even if that lady doesn't remember your appearance, she may not remember a thing or two, and if she is recognized, it will be more troublesome, so I assigned a few people who are not there, so as to hide people's eyes." ”
