Chapter 272: Gift-giving
Quan Qingyun sent the secret guards in the house away, leaving only one person, and asked about what happened to Ye Wenyan.
The man told the truth everything he saw, and added, "Master, what did you say about Miss Fourth that night?" Why didn't she do anything like the sun? A living person, as soon as it is blown up in her hands, it will be gone, what will she blow up? still
What's it with the white light in her hand? Master, subordinates are not cowardly people, but the fourth miss that night was too scary. ”
Quan Qingyun didn't feel strange, the emperor's people, if there were no extraordinary means, it would be called abnormal.
So his focus is not on Ye Wenyan's abnormality, he is more concerned about Ye Wenyan's judgment of the secret guards.
"Fourth Miss said, is it King Su's person?"
"Yes." The secret guard immediately said, "Although the subordinates don't understand how the fourth lady judged it, but when we threw people into the Suwang Courtyard, we saw someone come out to check, and after seeing it, we immediately picked it up and went to the backyard." ”
Quan Qingyun frowned, the sixth person? It seems that the sixth child has also been involved in this matter.
That's right, the news originally came from the sixth child's side, and it was Ye Hongxiang who heard the sixth brother talking to the regent, and then told Feizhou, and Feizhou went to steal it. It's just that he didn't expect the sixth child to be so unrelenting, and he planned to steal back again.
What I didn't expect was that the sixth man sent people to steal things, and they used first-class secret guards, what is the reason?
He asked his subordinates again: "You went to King Su's Mansion to send that fool, but was anyone found out?" ”
The subordinate shook his head: "No one has found it, until we found a lot of hidden guards hiding places, and it is only a first-class secret guard." It is said that we have done this, but whenever there is a spirit realm or a desperate secret guard in the mansion, they will immediately appear to intercept it, but unfortunately it is not. Therefore, the subordinates judged that in the current Suwang Courtyard, the highest-level master is only first-class. ”
The more Quan Qingyun listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, he knew the sixth child too well, the original prince, the only son of the Queen Mother. Whether it was the father, the queen, or the Li family, they all gave him the best. Not to mention the secret guards of the essence realm, there are more than a dozen secret guards in the desperate realm. Everyone knows how important those three letters are, and since he wants to get them, why did he only send people with first-class martial arts to come out? And why is there not even a master of the Essence Realm in the other courtyard? This doesn't make sense!
This thing is getting more and more interesting, an abnormal sixth child, an indifferent fourth child, what kind of situation will this matter go to?
"Let's go down!" He waved his hand, and at the same time reminded the secret guard, "Remember not to mention Miss Four's methods to anyone. ”
"My subordinates understand." The Dark Guard quickly departed, disappearing into the night.
After tossing and turning this night, when Ye Wenyan was finally able to sleep well, it was already half an hour. It will be dawn in a while, which really makes her a little helpless.
She can use spiritual power to restore her spirit, but she didn't like that when she was a child, she still likes to eat and sleep in an ordinary way. The use of spiritual power is a last resort, and if everything depends on spiritual power, then gradually human nature will be lost, and life will lose a lot of pleasure. And those pleasures are what she doesn't want to lose.
At the end of the day, Ye Wenyan got up, and as usual, Xiangdong came into the house to wait. Xiangdong is more careful than Shen'er in the courtyard, so she is usually willing to let Xiangdong take care of it at home, and take Shen'er with her when she goes out.
Xiangdong's temperament is similar to Ye Qingmei, he is a good person, but he is soft-hearted, his ears are not so hard, and his temper is relatively weak, he belongs to the kind of person who is bullied and doesn't dare to fight back, and even if he returns his mouth, he can't return it to the right place.
Therefore, she prefers Shen'er when dealing with the outside world, she is bold and dares to speak, and she can be more clear about people and things.
But Shen'er also has shortcomings, that is, her heart is not careful enough, such as what things are placed in her house and where, Xiangdong can say it casually, but Shen'er thinks about it for a long time, and sometimes it is wrong to think of it.
Fortunately, there are many people around her now, two maids, one inside and one outside, and the other is helping from both sides, and the order inside and outside this small courtyard is also in order.
Seeing that his master was up, but he was only sitting on the couch and stunned, Xiangdong hurriedly walked over and said, "When I came back late yesterday, why didn't Miss sleep for a while?" It's still early! ”
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "Don't sleep, I'm going out to Jiang's house today, get up early, and come back before noon." ”
Xiangdong remembered what happened to the Yu family that night, so he nodded, "Miss should go, Miss Jiang came to help late at night, so it is reasonable to go and thank others." But let's not go empty-handed, the slave and maid go to prepare the gift, and call Shen'er to come in and wait for the young lady. ”
Xiangdong is also a man of action, he said he would leave, and after a while, he changed his pendant and came in.
Shen'er has a lively temperament, and as soon as she came in, she asked, "Is Miss going to Jiang's house?" Then should we go to the auspicious shop on Suncheon Street to buy sugar cakes? I heard that the auspicious shop was opened, and many families lined up to buy it. If Miss also wants to buy it, the slave will ask people to line up, buy a big box at the right time, and give it to Miss Jiang, she will definitely like it. ”
Ye Wenyan thought for a while, and soon remembered that there is a dim sum shop on Suncheon Street, named Jixiang, which sells all kinds of dim sum, which is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also very attractive to eat.
It is said that the old gentleman who opened the shop is the master who retired from the imperial dining room in the palace, and his craftsmanship is exquisite and the materials are also exquisite. Many of the chefs in the official residence have imitated it, but they can't even learn the essence of it.
Later, people also gave up, and no longer wanted to study, so they just queued up every day to buy it and take it back to satisfy the greed of the master at home.
But the auspicious shop is only open for half a day, every day is open and not closed, it is very punctual, and it is really impossible to buy a piece when it is late.
In the past, Miss Yesi liked to eat the dim sum of Jixiangpu, and Jiang Wanting also loved to eat, including Chi Feifei, and the three of them often picked up the maids to line up, and sometimes even went to line up in person. Today she went to visit the Jiang family, and it would be good to send a box of dim sum.
So he nodded, "Call someone to line up!" I will buy a few more boxes once I line up, and in addition to giving them to the Jiang family, we will also keep some for our own family and take them to my mother and sister to eat. ”
"Okay, slave and maid, let's go." The little maid went happily, and came back after a while, "Miss, don't worry, Ali went to buy it, and the carriage came and went quickly, and she could come back in less than half an hour." We just freshened up and changed clothes for breakfast, and when we were all done with snacks, we came back. I just don't know if the auspicious shop has just been renovated, and it can make so much. ”
Ye Wenyan stood up to wash, and thought in his heart that this first visit seemed to be a gift that should be given to his heart. Although he also went to Jiang's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year, at that time, Dilong turned over and was not considered a guest. What's more, I still went to express my gratitude this time, and I always didn't think it was too good to just give away some things bought on the street.
After thinking about it, he finally took advantage of the time when Shen'er went out to prepare breakfast, and used his spiritual power to conjure up a real portrait of Mrs. Jiang's family.
The portrait is full-body, with a faint fragrance of flowers, which is exactly what Mrs. Jiang saw on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet. It doesn't look like the handwriting of painters of this era, but it looks like a photo taken by a camera in a previous life. But if you want to take a closer look, it is much more detailed than the photo, and it has some three-dimensionality. That feeling is a bit like a person in a previous life looking in the mirror, a one-to-one reduction, like two selves.
The painting is painted on silk cloth, and the scroll is made by her crushing ten flowers, which can be guaranteed to last for at least twenty years.
This kind of thing is no better than the surgical instruments of later generations, because it is something that does not exist in this era at all, so it is easy to conjure, but the retention time is extremely short, and she wants to preserve it for a long time unless she crushes a large number of flowers. But when treating the injured in the outer city, where is he willing to pinch so many flowers.
The painting scroll and the canvas are different, this kind of Eastern and Western Northern Qi also exists, so only ten flowers can be preserved for twenty years. As for the painting on the cloth, because of the imitation of the advanced technology and printing and dyeing materials of later generations, she had to break nearly a hundred wax plums in one breath to be considered successful, but it could only be kept for ten years.
But it doesn't matter, when the spring flowers bloom and she saves a lot of flowers, she will go to the Jiang family again and re-inject her spiritual power, so that the painting can be preserved for a long time.
Shen'er couldn't stay idle, so he went to help Xiangdong. Ye Wenyan called Ji Duo in, and asked her while eating, "Hasn't Ji Rong come back yet?" Is the Yu family's affairs difficult? ”
Ji grabbed and replied: "It's not that it's difficult, it's just that the Yu family is too shameless." The eldest lady proposed to make peace, but Master Yu was only willing to write a letter of resignation, and in the end, it was the Jiang family who put pressure on them, so they reluctantly released the letter of divorce. But they wanted the eldest lady to leave the house, and even the dowry that they brought into the house at the beginning, as well as the things prepared for Miss Yu's marriage, were deducted. Ji Rong wanted to help them come back, but the eldest lady didn't agree, she just said forget it, it's good that people can come out of the Yu family alive, money and property are things outside the body, and when they return to their parents' house, they can always have a place to live and a bite to eat. ”
He calculated as he spoke, and then said: "It is estimated that it will be a matter of one or two days, the Yu family will move out of the inner city, and the eldest lady will also take the eldest lady with her." If the master is concerned, your subordinates will inquire when you are a guest at the Jiang family in a while, or call Ji Rong back and let her tell the young lady herself. ”
Ye Wenyan nodded, and then asked, "What about the young lady who soaked in water?" ”
Ji Duo snorted coldly, "Don't mention that one." I carried her into the water on time, and she tried to hook me up, so angry that I let go and soaked her half to death before lifting her up again. That night, she was watched by the craftsmen in the outer city, and one person said that she recognized her, and she was a good friend of a son in the outer city, and the two of them had been going back and forth for half a year. ”
"Something good, huh?" She pondered for a while, and then instructed Ji Duo, "You ride your horse to the outer city, and make inquiries, and it is best to find the good one for me and bring it to the inner city." ”
