Chapter Thirty-Eight: Changle Pavilion
Prime Minister Mu's Mansion at the same end of the palace is now struggling in the court, Jiang Chen listened to the rumors of the Qin family, but misinterpreted the good intentions of the Jiang and Mu families, and the things mentioned by the people of Jiang and Mu naturally did not attract his attention.
Even Mu Yan's performance related to the hidden dangers in the state is not unintentionally sinking into the sea.
Seeing that Mu Yan's mind was heavy, and he seemed to be unable to open his eyebrows for the political affairs of the imperial court, Jiang Liyue hurriedly changed his words: "There is something I didn't mention to you in time, what is the origin of the jade plate you wore in the past?" ”
Between the words, the jade plate has been taken off by Jiang Liyue from her waist, from when Mu Yan handed it to her when she set off to Jizhou before, she has always kept it very safely, if she hadn't remembered that someone had asked in Jizhou that day, she would not have thought about it, Mu Yan's attention was really shifted to the jade plate: "I have never had any origin, it was given to me by my grandmother, I have been with me since I was a child, except for the special quality of jade, there seems to be nothing special, but I have been with me for many years, I have long been used to it." ”
"Why did you suddenly ask about the origin of this jade pendant? But what have you heard? ”
"Not really, but seeing that Yan Lang's jade brand is special, I want to ask one or two, that is, it was given to you by my grandmother, Yan Lang should carry it with you, how could you think of giving it to me? If my grandmother found out, would she be displeased? Jiang Liyue asked cautiously.
Mu Ya's eyes swept over the jade plate on Jiang Liyue's body, and he stopped for a long time before he said: "Naturally not, you and I are one, and the gift given to me by my grandmother naturally belongs to you, but I don't know much about the origin of this jade plate you said, when my grandmother gave it to me, I only hoped that he could protect my health." ”
Although the origin sounds very simple, Jiang Liyue always feels that there is a deeper secret hidden in it, otherwise it would be impossible for this jade plate on Jizhou to attract the attention of others three or four times, and even the local victims of the disaster have people who know that it is extraordinary.
Jizhou is also in the border entanglement with the Xiongnu, what is the relationship between this jade pendant and the Hu people?
Although the Hu people have been convicting the Daliang border for many years, they have not taken action for a long time since the previous trauma, Jiang Liyue can't figure out what the little jade card has to do with it, and since she can't figure it out, she naturally has a question in her heart, and plans to check it together when she has the opportunity in the future.
"Since this jade plate is of vital significance to Lang Jun, Yue'er will not have any accidents now under your protection, why don't Lang Jun accept this jade plate first?" Since she knew that this jade plate might have an unknown effect on Mu Yan, she naturally couldn't keep the jade card by her side.
In an instant, the jade plate had already been handed to Mu Yan, and after listening to Jiang Liyue's words, he hesitated for a while and accepted it.
The two were silent for a long time, and Mu Yanfu opened a new chatterbox: "The seventh day of the third month is my grandmother's birthday, and I will tell you a prophet so that you can be prepared." ”
Before getting married, Jiang Liyue remembered that Spruce planned the birthdays of everyone in the Mu Mansion in a book, but after marrying into the Mu Mansion, there were too many matters left and right, and the countdown was not too detailed. ”
Since the old lady has lived in the mansion and everything has been simple, in recent years, even her birthday has been simplified, and she has never done it in a big way, but Mu Rufeng and Jiang Liyue newly married into the Mu Mansion, and their birthdays should always be grander, so this stubble was mentioned.
Mu Yan pondered for a moment before responding: "Grandmother doesn't like those red tapes, everything has been simple in recent years, you don't have to worry too much, just treat it as an ordinary banquet." ”
Although Mu Yan only regarded it as an ordinary banquet when he mentioned it, Jiang Liyue had never really regarded her birthday as an ordinary banquet, and she had already made up her mind to find a free time to go out of the house to buy some gifts.
Recalling that the old lady was pleasant when she met her, but the more pleasant she was, the more she felt that the deep meaning was unpredictable, when she was still in the boudoir, she had heard that although the old lady was a daughter, she could act very neatly and old, and when the first emperor was reincarnated, Mu Mansion was more or less important, but after the first emperor died and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Jiang Chen never put his mind on state affairs, and Mu Fu was naturally despised a lot.
Moreover, now Jiang Chen's eyes are full of feeling that Duanwangfu and Zuo Xiangfu are becoming more and more eyesore, and he just wants to take the opportunity to get rid of them, especially after the marriage of Jiang Mu's two families, although the marriage was unintentionally promoted by Concubine Shugui, it has become a knot in his heart, after all, although any of the two families has a weak power on the surface, if there is a marriage, the forces behind it cannot be controlled under his nose.
Now that the two forces are united, it is even more impossible for Jiang Chen to rely on either one, let alone listen to the advice that goes against his ears.
The relocation of the mansion inside and outside the affairs need to be handled by the two of them, the small gathering in the front hall has not reached the time of a stick of incense, the two of them scattered to complete their unfinished business, Jiang Liyue went around the mansion a few times before barely figuring out the route of the mansion.
After Spruce observed this mansion, his previous attitude changed greatly, and now it is all "tsk" praise: "Lang Jun is now of the same heart as the county lord, and most of this mansion is built according to the county lord's preferences, which must have taken a lot of thought, and the slave and maid are happy to look at it." ”
Jiang Liyue glanced at her, her glass-colored apricot eyes showed carelessness, and she lowered her eyes and casually fiddled with the white jade handpiece on her jade wrist: "Where is the dowry?" I'll take a look. ”
"Is the county lord lacking any food and clothing recently? How do you remember the dowry when you first entered the palace? ”
Although he was a little confused, the spruce had already walked in front to guide him, and Han Dong on the side was not clear about Jiang Liyue's affairs before she got married, so she was silent on the side.
The three of them walked to the north courtyard, and then twisted around a few corridors, and finally stopped in front of the house, which is called Changle Pavilion, which means that nature is the meaning of the face, Jiang Liyue stared for a long time, until she heard the squeak of the door in front of her before coming back to her senses.
The house is already very bright without oil lamps under the daylight, and it is even more dusty, after picking up these heavy dowries at first, they will all be taken care of by Mu Yan, Jiang Liyue just accidentally took a look at it today, but she didn't want the piles of dowries to be placed in an orderly manner.
Jiang Liyue walked along the passage, only to find that although the Changle Pavilion occupies a small area from the outside, as soon as she gets closer, she can find that it is the same as the layout of the courtyard.
The style of a saber in the corner is very eye-catching, Jiang Liyue approached and took a closer look, and then looked up at the spruce: "This one, is it Lang Jun's saber?" I've never seen Lang Jun dance a sword. ”
It wasn't until she stepped into Changle Pavilion at this moment that she realized that she seemed to be undoubtedly revealing herself in front of Mu Yan, but she knew very little about Mu Yan, if she hadn't seen this sword today, she would have almost thought that Mu Yan was just a civil official, and when she was still in the depths of the boudoir, the Lin family did not mention Mu Yan's strength, which inevitably made Jiang Liyue more curious.
"About yes, I went to this Changle Pavilion to see it once today, and Xiang Qing told me that all the things in this house are you and Lang Jun's things, let me remember to come here to clean on time, don't let these things fall into dust, but your dowry is too much, it is not easy to highlight the things that Lang Jun has saved."
Jiang Liyue pondered for a long time, and decided to take advantage of the moment to go out to buy a birthday gift for the old lady without pre-emptive: "Handong, go to the bedroom and get my curtain fence, I want to go out of the house." ”
Han Dong's jaw retreated temporarily, her fingertips rubbed the scabbard, the corner was not bright enough, she specially let the spruce burn the oil lamp on the edge of the wall, and the house lit up in an instant, Jiang Liyue naturally saw the pattern on the scabbard through the swaying light and shadow: "Spruce, have you ever seen this pattern outside?" ”
Spruce took a closer look, then lowered his eyes and shook his head: "No, the county lord has never been interested in swords before, but I have heard the eldest prince say in the mansion that the patterns on the sword of the head of the family will be recorded, if the county lord is interested, you might as well find that scroll to see." ”
If there is a scroll, then the follow-up will be much clearer, and everything will be known only if you find out the meaning of the pattern.
"But if the county lord is interested in this pattern? Why don't you know to ask Lang Jun? He must know everything about you. ”
Spruce muttered in a low voice on the side, and the corners of Jiang Liyue's lips immediately burst into a smile: "I still need to understand the way of getting along with this husband and wife, if I don't observe and ask everything, won't life become much more boring?" Not to mention the things that are recorded, it is also beneficial to read more books in your spare time. ”
During the conversation between the two, Han Dong had already taken the curtain fence and returned, and after Jiang Liyue picked it up, she asked uneasily: "Can I inform Lang Jun about leaving the house for me?" ”
Han Dong responded while tidying up the curtain fence for Jiang Liyue: "I wanted to inform him, but Lang Jun was not in the mansion, so I came all the way to see Xiang Qing, I told him to wait for Lang Jun to return and then inform him, Xiang Qing has asked people to prepare immediately, and he is waiting outside the mansion at the moment." ”
The new mansion is not half a stick of incense from the streets of the city, and when the carriage reaches the entrance of the street, Jiang Liyue sends the coachman to stop the car and get off the car and walk instead, after all, although the passage in the city is wide, it happens to catch up with the time when the people go out, and it will take some time to take the carriage all the way.
Although it was not the first time she had set foot in the streets of Kyoto, it was the first time she had seen a real one, and she had never touched the ground when she came to the market in the past, but now she is really standing on this street.
In the end, the Kyoto market is much more lively than the Jizhou side, the houses on both sides of the streets and alleys are close together, extending in all directions, and the so-called goods are all available, all of them are complete, and the cars and horses on both sides of the streets and alleys are endless.
After Jiang Liyue got out of the carriage, she used a curtain fence to cover her face very tightly, and took the lead in finding a jade shop to prepare for inlaid jade.
In fact, with the status of Duanwang's mansion, Jiang Liyue can send any of the spruce or Handong over, and directly ask people to carve a pattern of jade and send it back to the mansion, but after all, the old lady happened to express her satisfaction with her bride, she should have run this trip herself, and she should not overstep her bounds.
What's more, if you come to this store in person, you can personally select the patterns, and even the craftsmanship used in carving can know a thing or two, and there is more room for choice, and this trip will not come in vain.
