Chapter 294: Reckoning
"Su Liulang, how dare you? If you are drunk, dare to say this! Ha ha! The crowd burst into laughter, waving their hands half-jokingly and half-solemnly.
It was jubilant and majestic, and suddenly I heard a piercing sound in the new house, which seemed to be the sound of breaking porcelain cups.
Laughing for a while. The first to sober up was Su Qian, who immediately changed his expression, and pulled his throat to change his mouth: "It was all a joke just now!" Joke! In the future, I will listen to the lady, and follow the husband! ”
Cheng Ying laughed so much that her stomach hurt, and patted Su Qian's back: "Okay, uncle, go back to the room quickly, we won't persuade you to drink, otherwise you will be kicked out by the bride tonight." This time there was no courtesy in a hurry, and when I returned to Shengjing, I prepared well, and the merchants who went south to the south brought back to you and your aunt. ”
Everyone had good eyesight, so they stopped frolicking, and pushed Su Qian to the new house, and the joy of the moon came to an end.
Cheng Yingyu took a sedan chair back to Qianfu, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Liuxiang coming up and brought her a bowl of decanting soup, which was just hot, as if she had been guarding the stove warm.
Cheng Ying grunted, went back to the room and sat in front of the bronze mirror to support her head, still a little dizzy: "Liuxiang, I thought you went back to Shen Yin's side." ”
Liuxiang twisted Repa, stepped forward to let Cheng Ying wipe her face, and smiled: "The silver girl said that the matter is not over yet, wasn't the crown prince summoned by the saint, and he was afraid that there would be some stubble, so he let the slave maid still follow the girl, and there was a little response." ”
The hot cloth was very comfortable, and Cheng Ying burped: "Crown prince...... Oh, yes, Zhao Shenyan...... Is there a result on it, how did it break? ”
"Strange to say, there is a gag order on it, and I don't know what happened. But His Royal Highness came out intact, and the sage did not pursue it, but just issued an edict to let His Highness rest and recuperate, and then return to Beijing after resting. Liuxiang replied and added, "Also, His Highness said that when you come back, if you still have spirit, you will go to see him." ”
Cheng Ying's eyes lit up. stood up, but paused, thought for a long time, sat down again, remembered the face that covered his tired face with powder, and his heart ached: "He suddenly rushed to Jiangnan, it must be a starry night, and everyone has taken off his skin along the way, let him rest well, the iron man can't hold it." ”
After a pause, Cheng Yingyu looked at the bamboo basket hanging under the corridor, which was the mosquito repellent bamboo in Jiangnan, green, and pointed and said: "Send this basket, I think it's good to use it, there are many mosquitoes and flies in the autumn evening in Jiangnan, don't disturb his rest." ”
"Why didn't the girl send it herself?" Liuxiang smiled.
Cheng Ying rubbed her temples, her face hot: "What time is it at night, even if I am his good son now, but after all, it is not officially round...... Ahem, otherwise it seems like I'm in a hurry. ”
Liuxiang made a few more jokes, then took the bamboo basket and went out, presented it to the palace people who served the East Palace, came back in less than half an hour, looked at Cheng Ying and smiled: "The things have been sent, and the East Palace will turn blue when you don't come when you hear the girl." ”
Cheng Yingbu was happy in his heart, but his face was stiff, and he pursed his mouth: "He has a big temper!" Let him rest well, the saints have spoken, and he can still jump? It was thousands of miles from north to south, and it took him a few days to get here, and he really couldn't die! ”
"Yes, yes, Donggong is dying, isn't that still thinking of the girl." Liuxiang's eyes rolled.
Cheng Ying's face turned red, and she pretended to be angry and wanted to beat Liuxiang: "The little hooves are getting more and more broken!" Be careful that I sue Shen Yin, I have to beat you to beg for mercy! ”
Liuxiang didn't dare to say anything, and couldn't help laughing, while the two were playing, they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Qin Nanxiang's voice came: "Has the second girl rested?" The slave is Nanxiang, and he hasn't seen him for many days, so he came to say hello to the girl. ”
Cheng Yingbu paused, remembering that he left the house to chase the money curtain, came back and was pushed into the sedan chair, was disturbed by Zhao Xixing halfway, and rushed to Su Mansion to drink, sure enough, he was running around for several days, and he hadn't seen Qinnanxiang for a long time.
This time, Liuxiang's voice had already sounded: "Mrs. Nan, what time is this, I want to ask An Ming'er for an early time." The girl drank wine in Su Mansion tonight, so she will have to rest......"
"No, please let her in." Cheng Yingyu answered suddenly, her voice was a little strange, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, there are some accounts, just calculate." ”
Liuxiang's eyes flashed, but he didn't say much, he invited Qin Nanxiang to come in, closed the Huanghuali carved door, and the expressions of the three people in the room changed slightly.
Qin Nanxiang wore a half-old lake blue silk silk woven silver tuanhua thin jacket, with a narrow waist and narrow sleeves, outlining a willow-like figure, a plain silver hairpin between the black crow sideburns, and two piles of gauze chrysanthemums, which are all the jewelry, and it is still Cheng Yingyu's impression that the beauty who will not frown.
"Disturb the girl's rest, the slave is too worried about the girl, say a few words and leave." Qin Nanxiang smiled and opened his mouth, and put the things in his hand on the case, "The girl has been busy for a while, and she is also the joy of being selected for the East Palace, so she is satisfied." The slave specially prepared a few small things, and hoped that the girl would not dislike it. ”
These words are also very appropriate and gentle, and the hearts of people will be softened when they hear it.
Liuxiang glanced at Cheng Ying, and saw that the latter didn't say anything, so he stepped forward to check the gift, a pair of red gold bracelets, heavy in weight, and the bracelet was engraved with Tilian, which was to congratulate the marriage.
Qin Nanxiang's voice came: "The girl will be a good family in the future, she is a woman in the East Palace, and there is nothing to give to such a big happy slave, so according to the customs of our south, I made a pair of bracelets, all of which are pure gold." ”
Cheng Yingyu stretched out two jade fingers and checked the bracelet: "Yo, it's heavy enough, Mrs. Nan is breaking the bill." ”
"Where is the son of a good family, when you are officially bed, canonization is just around the corner, and the slave will congratulate you on your wishes coming true, and you will become a pair." Qin Nanxiang even changed his name, and the smile on his face didn't seem to be fake.
The corners of Cheng Ying's lips curled: "Yes, Mrs. Nan should congratulate me, but don't forget to congratulate yourself, after all, I can't marry the head of the family, but I got your wish first." ”
"Good family?" Qin Nanxiang blinked, puzzled.
Cheng Ying's fingertips loosened, and the gold bracelet fell into the gift box, and there were two clear bangs, but it was like a thunderbolt, which made the eyes of the three people in the audience startled, and Qin Nanxiang's eyes were a little shaky.
"The farce of setting up a wife is finally over, and I have to take care of some chores. For example, I went to Su Mansion today to ask my uncle about the permission of a concubine in the Qian family's back house. Cheng Yingbu said slowly, his eyes were playful, "For example, my uncle said that although this authority is not large, it can still be done by calling a few assassins who are not masters from the world." Oh yes, Mrs. Nan's itinerary during Tianping Mountain, I also asked my uncle to inquire about the relationship a little. ”
"Liangjiazi is getting more and more confused, is he really drunk?" Qin Nanxiang was still smiling lightly, but his face became strange in the candle shadow.
"It's no fun to pretend again." Cheng Ying sighed and popped out a little rouge foam on his fingertips, "During the chase with the head of the family, I ran around outside, one place after another, but only the first time I encountered an assassin on the way to Tianping Mountain. Why is that? ”
After a pause, Cheng Yingyu didn't look at Qin Nanxiang, and asked himself: "Because the first trip to Tianping Mountain was from Qianfu, and everyone in Qianfu knows it." But because I haven't been back to the house, people have been running outside, and the details of the itinerary are not accurate except for me and Liuxiang. Therefore, the Assassin's dealer must be from the Qian Mansion. ”
"Ah, that's it!" Liuxiang also shouted beside him, and added meaningfully, "I didn't expect that in addition to instigating the night market to get sick, the final selection missed the question to the Yang family, and added Tianpingshan to instruct people to assassinate, Mrs. Nan really took a lot of trouble to prevent the second girl from marrying the head of the family." ”
Cheng Ying thought thoughtfully and sneered: "In this way, the matter of the night market, the matter of missing the topic, you can't get rid of it, and Mrs. Others have always asked me to pay more attention to you, madam, but it has always been me after all when I am kept in the dark. ”
Qin Nanxiang still had a smile on his face, but he was a little stiff: "This series of disasters from heaven and man, the sons of the good family are sure to be slaves?" ”
Cheng Ying shrugged: "Nothing else, Tianping Mountain almost wanted to kill me that time, and I can't get over this hurdle." Don't worry, I will report it and check it on official business...... It's just that to find out the means of a mere concubine, do you think it's difficult or easy, madam? ”
"Just a concubine?" Qin Nanxiang grinned, "Liangjiazi can hear a folk saying: a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake." Even if it is a concubine, it is also a concubine in Jiangnan, if the people of the imperial palace want to interfere...... Oh, maybe it's hard or easy. ”
