Chapter 55: Selection
At first, Mu Yan was somewhat wary of the little embroidery girl under Shen Sanniang's hands, but until this round of the people left to be selected, he had already sent Xiang Qing to find out all the details, and now the few who are left in the front hall are somewhat credible, Mu Yan pondered for a while, and whispered: "I ordered Xiang Qing to check earlier, there is really no problem on the face, Madame can rest assured for the time being." ”
Jiang Liyue looked at the little embroidery girl who was lying on the ground again: "That's good, I just used breakfast to eat today, and I happened to see something here in the front hall, by the way, Yanlang, do you have a favorite attendant now?" ”
Mu Yan's eyes swept around the hall, and he pointed to a few of the new faces standing on the side: "Tentatively these few, I saw that my skills are not bad, but it just so happens that there is a shortage of some guards in the mansion recently." ”
After all, moving to the new mansion, there can always be only a few palace guards left in the huge mansion, there should always be some people left in the mansion to maintain the safety of the mansion, plus it will not be long before he has to obey the order to escort the prince of Yunnan out of the city, and then he has to leave for Jizhou, leaving the palace guards in the mansion to ensure safety is even more imminent, originally Mu Yan wanted to return from Jizhou and then screen.
can think that Jiang Liyue will stay alone in the mansion in the future, and her safety is somewhat uncertain, so she set the selection of the palace guards before the trip, and after all the palace guards to be selected are displayed one by one, Mu Yan left a few outstanding ones according to the skills of the house guards, and the rest were all dismissed to Qing Haosheng.
After the first round of selection in Mu Mansion, Jing He quickly returned to the inn after observing in Mu Mansion, Zhao Yin saw that he was only one person back, and immediately felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?" Are those three boys becoming? ”
Jing He put the saber on the table, turned around and poured a large cup of tea, and slowly spoke: "Boss, it is indeed done, but the selection criteria of the Mu Mansion are quite strict, and it is estimated that I am afraid of mixing in people with ulterior motives, although we are now half, but we need to be more careful when contacting us in the future, so as not to expose flaws." ”
Zhao Yin nodded, raised his hand and motioned for Jinghe to sit down, Zhao Qiaoyin hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this: "What else did you hear?" ”
"It is said that after the master of the Mu Mansion escorted the prince of Yunnan out of the city in two days, he needed to rush to Jizhou on the second day." Jing He took a sip of tea, and then said: "I heard that the Xiongnu have been in trouble at the border recently, and I am worried that the victims of Jizhou have suffered, but when we came out that day, it was clearly still peaceful, and I am afraid that someone has ulterior motives." ”
Zhao Yin's fingertips tapped lightly on the table: "That's the case, but we are still familiar with Jizhou, when they leave, we will get in touch with the three of them and find a chance to keep up. ”
When the clues were not investigated before, Zhao Yin and his party dressed up as Hu people when they were hidden in the border, but they were only to hide people's eyes and ears at that time, and they did not do anything to hurt the people of Jizhou at that time.
It is not known what faction the perpetrators were.
When Zhao Qiaoyin heard that he was going to Jizhou with Mu Yan and his party, he immediately raised his cheeks with some hope, blinked and asked, "Can I go with me this time?" Speaking of which, I don't think Kyoto is as good as I thought, but the days before were really good. ”
"I'm here to get down to business, and I happen to be thinking about what to assign to you." Zhao Yin immediately lowered his eyes and pondered: "In this way, you don't go with our group this time, you and Jinghe stay here to keep an eye on the daily dynamics of the Mu Mansion, if there is a danger, you need to help." ”
Zhao Qiaoyin glanced at Jinghe, and pointed at himself with some unclear meaning: "Why me and him?" I've been out for a while and really want to go back to where I used to live. ”
Zhao Yin coughed slightly, and stopped with a straight face: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to keep the two of them in Kyoto to meet each other when they arrive, and now we are all right and take care of each other." ”
Jing He was used to landing in peace, and immediately echoed thoughtfully: "Sister Qiaoyin, don't always feel that my young Xiaobu is willing to stay with me, I have grown up now, don't always look like a child." ”
The difference between the two is only three years old, Zhao Qiaoyin has always been a maverick, and now he is persuaded by him It is rare to be blocked, and it took a while to say: "Okay, anyway, there is nothing wrong with staying in Kyoto, you go to Jizhou by yourself and remember to take care of your own safety, if you can think of a way, take the opportunity to change the jade card closely, I want to see if it is true or false." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qiaoyin took a jade plate from his waist that was consistent with the pattern on the drawing and handed it to Zhao Yin.
"Where did you get it? It's exactly the same as on the drawings. Jing He felt a little difficult to distinguish just by seeing the jade pattern on the side.
Zhao Qiaoyin stepped forward a few steps, stretched out his hand and tapped on his head, and said with a smile: "Actually, if you distinguish carefully, you can still find the difference, my trick is also a risk, but I see that the boy carries the jade card with him, probably he doesn't know the meaning of this, thinking that this is just an ordinary jade card." ”
Nowadays, many old objects related to Emperor Baicang have long been no specific records, not to mention that for a small jade card, in addition to people with hearts, there is little known about it, not to mention that the pattern of the jade card is actually not very unusual, ordinary people look at the past but an ordinary jade card, if you don't look carefully, you can't see the clues.
It's just that now that the information of the jade plate has been discovered, it is necessary to insist on tracking it down, and confirm who the orphan was as soon as possible to prevent people with a heart from taking advantage of the loophole, although Emperor Baicang has been dead for several years, but the truth left behind exists in the world, and now the new emperor is a little depressed when dealing with political affairs, otherwise the dispute between the surrounding vassal kings is unlikely to cause too much controversy.
There are even a few vassal kings who have already become powerful, and if they are not suppressed as soon as possible, future incidents can easily be triggered, and Jiang Chen has not taken action for a long time, and a few vassal kings have already been ready to move.
Jing He was struck by a blow, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and he reached out and rubbed his head that was knocked a little painfully: "Sister Qiao Yin, you will talk when you speak, what are you doing to knock my head?" But according to me, if that boy really knew what kind of secret was buried in the jade plate, he would not have carried it around the market, but maybe he knew that he was just looking for our traces. ”
The possibility of the latter is extremely small, if you really realize the secret contained in the jade plate, even if you want to find out the person who knows the reason as soon as possible, it is unlikely that you will continue to carry the jade card to the market, the former is obviously more likely.
Zhao Yin thought that the situation was urgent, and immediately assigned everyone's tasks and prepared to wait for the opportunity.
After Mu Yan was busy with the selection in the front hall in the morning, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Mu Rufeng to discuss the details of escorting the prince of Yunnan out of the city the next day, and did not return to the Mu Mansion until the sun sank in the west.
When Jiang Liyue heard the movement outside the bead curtain, she raised her eyes in time, and the next moment Mu Yan had already walked to the table: "Lang Jun can have dinner?" ”
"I used some in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and if I return home late in the future, you will have dinner first, so you don't have to wait for me." Mu Yan paused and glanced at her: "What are you doing?" ”
Jiang Liyue put down the booklet with the pattern in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, look at the embroidery pattern, isn't it time for summer in the blink of an eye?" I don't know how long you'll be there, but I'll be able to pick up a few new clothes for you at home at my leisure. ”
Mu Yan picked up the fan that was set aside and placed it beside her and shook it gently: "Thank you for your trouble, the matter of new clothes is not in a hurry, come and pick it up when you are free, if you are free, you can go to Duanwang's mansion to visit." ”
The slightest wisp of breeze was blowing on her face, and the mood on Jiang Liyue's face slowed down a little, recalling the days when she was still in the boudoir in the past, it was indeed a long time since she had returned home, and Mu Yan really thought about her in every way.
"Lang Jun is worried about me, I'll take a look when I'm free, by the way, Lang Jun, you get up, I'll measure the proportion for you and cut new clothes." Jiang Liyue took the measuring stick and slowly got up.
After measuring the proportions, Jiang Liyue put away the soft ruler, wrote a plum blossom small block on the rice paper with a wolf in her hand, and in the next moment, after putting all the objects on the table in place, she sent Mu Yan to the bath.
The next day, Mu Yan got up earlier than usual, and after everything was cleaned up, he went out of the house to prepare to escort the prince of Yunnan back to Yuncheng, Jiang Liyue slept comfortably, and when she woke up, the house was already clear and cold, she stretched out her arms lazily, and called the spruce into the back room to freshen up for her.
When Spruce was combing her hair, Jiang Liyue picked out a white hosta in the makeup box: "Have a good look today, let's go back to the palace." ”
"Why did the county lord think about going home, but he quarreled with Lang Jun?" Spruce took the hairpin that Jiang Liyue had picked, and circled it in the bun for a while before putting it into her hair.
Jiang Liyue was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "You girl, what do you think about in the future?" It was only yesterday that Lang Jun mentioned it, and I thought that I hadn't returned to the palace for a long time, and since Lang Jun agreed, I will go back to the palace to see. ”
Spruce let out a low "ah" and muttered: "Just got up, the county lord told me to go back to the palace, don't you let the slave think in that direction?" By the way, when you go back to the palace today, do you want the slave maid to pick out more gorgeous clothes for you? ”
"Why are you so shocked now? It's just a trip back to the palace, you don't need to be so exquisite, just dress normally. ”
She was taken aback, it was obvious that Jiang Liyue was dressed too plainly on weekdays, although everyone in the house knew that her husband and wife were Qin Se and Ming, and it was not necessarily the same idea as those who didn't know outside.
The two of them chose the time before lunch to travel, and when they left the house, they saw a huge sun, and the spruce stood behind her, and hurriedly held up the silk umbrella: "County Lord, the weather is getting hotter, but you should pay attention to your body." ”
Before the summer, it was a common thing that the sun was getting bigger, Jiang Liyue was carried by the spruce and got into the carriage, and the two went all the way to the direction of Duanwangfu.
