Chapter VI
Despite the abduction yesterday, the wife of the owner of the village was already busy in the village the next day as if nothing happened.
The first thing she did when she had breakfast was to go to the treasury to count her dowry, and she had to know how many jewelry, supplies, silver tickets, and silver ingots were in those thirty-two boxes, so that she could use them properly.
"The warehouse has not been dusted for a long time, and it has accumulated dust. Madame, do you want to change the day, wait for the people to dry the books and clear the library, and then go after they are clean? Seeing that she was going to the storeroom, he hurriedly stopped her.
"It's fine." She didn't worry about it for a day or two, "Then I'll go again the day after tomorrow, you have worked hard in the past two days, you should dry the books, and clean the books." β
After saying that, she asked Orange Moon to help and moved all her things from the West Garden to the East Garden, the wing next to the owner's bedroom. The room was originally a small study room arranged by Kuang Yu, which was to facilitate direct reading and handling of official business in the East Garden on weekdays. The people in the village think that the owner's wife is not in good health, so the owner has not been in the same room for two years, and now this time he moved back to the East Garden, although he lived in a separate room, but the owner of the village specially ordered people to clean up the nearest room to him, and people speculated that the relationship between the two was getting stronger, so it was necessary to get closer to each other.
The rules of the village are strict, and the subordinates never talk about the master behind their backs, but this morning, the little attendant watched the lady come out of the master bedroom of the East Garden for the first time, and saw that the master immediately caught up with the lady after approving the clothes, and everyone always involuntarily looked at her when they saw Jiang Linglong, and they were even more cordial.
Jiang Linglong made proper arrangements, and just wanted to send someone to Furulou to send the revised version, but Primrose greeted Gonggong Cai in the palace and entered the main hall.
"The princess has an edictβ"
Jiang Linglong was about to leave, but when she heard the sound, she turned back to the door to greet her, and saw Primrose walk two steps quickly to herself and whispered, "Madam, it's Gonggong Cai in the palace." β
She wondered in her heart, as we all know, the celebrity next to King Liang is Gonggong Yin, and the big eunuch next to Princess Fuhui is Gonggong Que, which master is this Gonggong Cai? What Jiang Linglong didn't know was that her husband ran to the palace last night and cut off the head of Renque's father-in-law and threw it as a ball.
"It turned out that Gonggong Cai came from afar. There is a long way to go. She was reminded by the primrose, greeted warmly, and then knelt straight and saluted, "The courtier Kuangmen Jiang is exquisite, welcome." β
That Gonggong Cai has fine skin and tender meat, but he has a pair of eagle eyes, and at a glance, he is a little gloomy and cunning. He lowered his hands and said in a sharp voice, "The eldest princess dictated, the princess and the first duchess Jiang Shi Linglong, Zhuo Zi graceful, good wisdom and knowledge, feeling his husband and wife Qin Se Luanhe, Jiang Linglong in the cloud villa Zhuang is safe, a special palace card, a pair of gold wire glass buckles, in order to show its virtue, in order to show its benefits." After finishing speaking, Xiaocha sent the two brocade boxes he was holding forward, and he squinted and smiled at Jiang Linglong, "First class duchess, congratulations." β
Jiang Linglong bowed to herself, "The courtiers thank the princess for her grace." "Get up again and let Primrose take the reward. She exchanged a few words with Cai's father-in-law, gave a reward of silver in a knowing and interesting way, sent the person away, and returned to Xiyuan before opening the brocade box.
The gold wire glass buckle in the box is exquisitely crafted and exquisitely carved, and the dragon's head is prostrate, with a large mouth and a slight opening, which is lifelike. She couldn't help but take a closer look at it. At this look, a sneer overflowed in my heart. The button is small, and it is natural to see it from a distance, and when I got closer, I found that the button on the divine beast is the body of the dragon's head and leopard, isn't it the second son of the dragon's nine sons. Jiang Linglong didn't say anything, and went to pick up the palace card in another brocade box and play with it in his hand.
Princess Furao gave her a palace card, isn't she inviting her into the palace?
"Someone," she chuckled at the corner of her mouth, and casually called the waiter, "Prepare the car, I want to go out of the house." β
As soon as she finished speaking, an apricot fruit smashed on top of her head and fell to her feet. It's just March, and the ginkgo biloba in the yard hasn't even bloomed, where is the fruit? was puzzled, but there was a warning floating in his ear, "The palace is the only place that cannot be entered, if the lady goes, she must go with the owner, don't be rash." β
Jiang Linglong was funny, Nong Yu only heard his voice, but he didn't see him, he was afraid that he was forced to be anxious, and he was afraid that there would be something wrong, so he took the risk to remind him in broad daylight.
"She gave me the palace card, I'm going to the palace?" She smiled into the air and replied, as if she were muttering to herself, "Why should I do what she wants?" Come on, go find Orange Moon. She and Yan Zhaoren, "She wants to go with me to the palace of the king on the outskirts of the city." β
It has always been true that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
When the people sent Mrs. Yunshanzhuang to see her, Liang Yi'an's painting pen tip was a spirit, and the show bird legs of the mountain spirit show bird picture became a show chicken leg.
Jiang Linglong is already a wife, he is inconvenient to disturb, and he didn't think of any good reasons, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to come to see him. He was sitting precariously with his palms sweating, and after a while, he saw the sparrow spirit coming with a happy face from the maid.
"The courtiers see King Cao, please say hello to King Cao."
She was downright and generous, dignified and elegant, but she couldn't help but be happy in her eyes when she looked at Liang Yi'an.
"Long'er doesn't have to be polite." He immediately gave a seat to see the tea, the corners of his lips were full of smiles, his eyebrows were open-minded, and he had a look, "What is the matter today?" β
"Ask for advice." She took a sip of tea, "It's a small thing, there's no hurry." The last time I saw the prince at the palace gate, I was happy for a while, I forgot my dignity and humility, and I forgot that the prince had already severed the relationship between righteous brothers and sisters with his courtiers, and there was a lot of disrespect, I hope you will forgive me. β
"How can Long'er be concerned? Back then, this king couldn't help himself, but you and I never had a relationship in this king's heartβ"
"King Cao doesn't need to say much." She interrupted softly, "You had no choice but to make this decision to protect me. I'm grateful. β
"How are you doing when you get home?"
"It's all right," she didn't shy away from Orange Moon's side, "I can see my father's attitude towards me, and I know that you must have taken care of it." β
"I always want you to be happy and healthy." He smiled kindly, "Okay, okay, let's say, you must have something to do with me." β
"Can't I come to you if it's okay?"
"You can, but you won't. If it's okay, there will always be inconvenience when you get married. β
"King Cao is really." She said, "I do have something." It's a small thing. But when it comes to my life, I hope the king will tell you. β
"What?"
"It's about the princess."
"Sister Wang?"
"Exactly." She didn't go around in circles, raised her eyes and looked directly, and asked, "What happened to Princess Furao and my husband?" β
Liang Yi'an sank color.
"I didn't ask the right question." Jiang Linglong first asked Orange Moon to wait outside the palace, and then added softly, "Has my husband ever been a candidate for Princess Furui?" β
Liang Yi'an couldn't avoid Jiang Linglong's eyes, so he didn't hide it, "If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to make peace with Qianzhangguo, Master Kuang Zhuang was indeed the only candidate." β
"Five years ago, because of Prime Minister Kuang's false oracle, the Kuang family was beheaded, and King Liang only left my husband alive. King Cao, what role did the princess play in this? β
ββ¦β¦ Long'er," Liang Yi'an worried, "There are some things that have passed, and it's better not to know." I'm thinking about you. β
"Then I'll ask another question, King Cao just needs to nod and shake his head." Her face was calm, and she stared at Liang Yi'an, for fear of missing any subtle expressions on his face, "Princess Furui, is it related to the Kuang family's crime?" β
Liang Yi'an was stunned, and sighed unconsciously, this girl had secretly grown up, and under her flawless appearance, she had amazing insight.
He was helpless, and finally nodded slightly.
Jiang Linglong's guess in her heart has become most of it.
The Kuang family was convicted, and Kuang Yu's entire family was beheaded, which was announced to the world at that time. Everyone in the villa avoided it, and no one mentioned it. And she couldn't imagine what kind of tribulations and trials the son of a criminal had gone through, what kind of slander and humiliation he had endured, in order to become what he is now, and to win the Sacred Heart.
"Brother Yi'an, for the last question, you still just need to nod and shake your head. But please be sure to answer me. β
"It's come to this, I won't lie to you."
"The Kuang family is guilty," she said lightly, but her words were clear, "but there are grievances." β
Liang Yi'an felt palpitations. This is not a question that a woman in a mountain village can ask. Nor is it something that a young woman should endure. But if he avoids it at this time, it will prove that the Kuang family is wronged.
"There is no grievance." His eyes were calm, his words were gentle, and he replied with his lips open.
It was the first time he had lied to her.
"Really?" She was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, "Then I'll rest assured." β
Jiang Linglong lingered in the Cao Wangfu, and then went to see the palace where he used to live, today's Cao Wangfu is the former Cao Wang's palace Zixiao Palace, but after King Liang ascended the throne and took power, few people called him the Third Highness anymore, Zixiao Palace was also renamed Cao Wangfu, and the meaning of the master, everything is simple. Therefore, the palace is different from other palaces, but it is the same as the palace network of the palace, the palace is still tortuous, and the palace is vast. Therefore, by the time Jiang Linglong returned to the village, it was almost time for dinner.
Kuang Yu had already listened to the little waiter's report, and after waiting in the hall for a long time, when he saw Jiang Linglong coming back, he asked knowingly, "Why did you go back, where did you go?" β
"Ah," she knew that the little waiter would report to him, so she didn't say anything directly, but just smiled at him and blinked her eyes, "to a liar." β
