Chapter 84: The carriage blocks the way
"See you again, kid. Mrs. Yuan looked at Yuan Jiaojiao and said kindly, "Get up." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao was slightly surprised when she first entered the room and saw Mrs. Yuan, and then she also understood.
I'm afraid that the things she sent have already been guessed by her, and Mrs. Yuan's complexion doesn't look like she is sick, those people outside are not allowed to enter, but she was directly taken into the courtyard, it can be seen that Mrs. Yuan spread the news in order to see her.
Yuan Jiaojiao and Ji Yanning got up.
"It turns out that Mrs. Yuan has long known that I did it. Yuan Jiaojiao blushed slightly.
"I've lived in this White Horse Temple for many years, and it's the first time I've met a girl as unreasonable as you. Mrs. Yuan said, "The things you sent are too valuable, I can't take them, so you might as well take them back." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao waved her hand and said: "No, no, it was originally meant to be given to Mrs., so naturally there is no reason to take it back." ”
"Then tell me, why did you give me these things?" Madame Yuan looked at her fixedly, waiting for her answer.
Yuan Jiaojiao glanced at Ji Yanning, and seeing that Ji Yanning nodded slightly, she finally mustered up her courage.
She took out a jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Mrs. Yuan: "Madame, do you remember this jade pendant?"
The grandmother beside Mrs. Yuan stepped forward to take the jade pendant in Yuan Jiaojiao's hand and handed it to Mrs. Yuan.
The jade pendant is made of high-quality jade, and the back is carved with the word "Yuan", which is the ancestral treasure of their Yuan family.
Mrs. Yuan looked at the familiar jade pendant, her eyes were full of tears, and she choked up: "This is my son Yuanjing's jade pendant, he has carried it with him since he was a child...... What about Jing'er, where is he? Has he returned to Chang'an, why didn't he come to see me?"
Mrs. Yuan's tearful appearance made Yuan Jiaojiao feel very uncomfortable, and she lowered her head and did not speak.
"Child, what about you, what about Jing'er, where is he?" asked Mrs. Yuan.
Yuan Jiaojiao knelt directly on the ground and buried her head lower: "He...... Passed away. ”
"What!" Mrs. Yuan exclaimed, slapped the table and stood up, looking at Yuan Jiaojiao in disbelief.
Yuan Jiaojiao clenched into a fist, not daring to look up at Mrs. Yuan, in the past, she thought that the master was very good, but now she couldn't understand, since there was a mother waiting in Chang'an, why didn't he come back to see, so unfilial, how could it be the master she knew?
Mrs. Yuan couldn't stand the stimulation, she only felt a tingling pain in her heart, and she couldn't breathe well for a while.
Ji Yanning frowned and stepped forward to support Mrs. Yuan.
"Madame, take care, if your son were still here, he would not want you to be so sad. Ji Yanning persuaded.
Mrs. Yuan smiled bitterly: "If he doesn't want me to be sad, why hasn't he heard from me for so many years, and he didn't leave me for half a year, it's really ruthless." ”
"Si Ren has passed away, and I ask Mrs. to mourn. Yuan Jiaojiao raised her eyes and said, "I will take care of my wife for him in the future, he is my master and my adoptive father, I will treat my wife as a relative." ”
Mrs. Yuan looked at Yuan Jiaojiao and asked, "I haven't asked the child what your name is." ”
"Yuan Jiaojiao is the name chosen by the master. ”
"Jiaojiao. Mrs. Yuan thought softly, her eyes became complicated, and she recalled that long time.
Back then, Yuan Jing was a gentleman and often caused trouble, she would always talk about how good it would be if she had a daughter, so worry-free and effort-saving, Yuan Jing said with a hippie smile, then I will give birth to a daughter in the future, my name will be Jiaojiao, let her be by your grandmother's side every day, I am afraid that her temperament will follow me, which will make you have more headaches.
Yuan Jiaojiao said: "Master has never married a wife and had children, but I will never forget his nurturing kindness to me, and please don't refuse my kindness." ”
She knelt straight in front of Mrs. Yuan like this, her eyes were so sincere, this scene was like Yuan Jing kneeling in front of her back then.
Mrs. Yuan's heart was like angina, she had waited for so many years, but she still couldn't bring her son back.
She knew that it was impossible for Yuan Jing to come back, and for so many years, she was just deceiving herself.
"Jiaojiao, get up. Mrs. Yuan looked at her with a torch in her eyes, "Since you are Jing'er's adopted daughter and my granddaughter, from now on, are you willing to live with me?"
Yuan Jiaojiao nodded: "Naturally, I am willing, from today onwards, I will live with my wife in the White Horse Temple and take care of my wife's daily life." ”
"Call my grandmother from now on. Mrs. Yuan looked at the jade pendant in her hand and said, "We'll go back to the Yuan Mansion in two days." The General's Mansion has been empty for so many years, it's time to go back. ”
Yuan Jiaojiao was slightly stunned, but still nodded.
Mrs. Yuan raised her eyes and looked at Ji Yanning: "Then what about you, girl?"
Ji Yanning blessed slightly: "The younger Ji Yanning is the granddaughter of Shi Liuyuan, the chief of the Chinese book order, and she is also a Jiaojiao friend. ”
Mrs. Yuan bowed slightly, she didn't remember the officials in the court now, she couldn't remember who Liu Yuan was, but looking at Ji Yanning's temperament, she had a good impression.
Yuan Jiaojiao and Zi Su stayed in the White Horse Temple, and returned to the general's mansion with Mrs. Yuan in a few days.
Ji Yanning walked out of the courtyard with someone, and Mama Jiang sent her out of the temple gate.
There were still people in the temple arguing with the master in the temple in order to see Mrs. Yuan, and when they saw Mama Jiang beside Mrs. Yuan, the two ladies stepped forward.
"Mama Jiang. The two ladies called them to them.
Mama Jiang bowed slightly to them.
"You are Liu Xi'er's daughter, why are you here?" Mrs. Duan recognized Ji Yanning at a glance, and her face was still a little piercing.
Ji Yanning saluted her: "The junior Ji Yanning has seen Mrs. Duan, I came here with a friend, did Mrs. Duan also come to the temple to pray for blessings?"
Although Mrs. Duan didn't like Ji Yanning's face, she saw that she was still polite to herself, and she lost her temper, and said: "I'm here to see Mrs. Yuan, Mama Jiang, can Mrs. Yuan meet guests now, can she avoid seeing her like this, is it true that she is seriously ill as the rumors say?"
Mama Jiang replied: "A few adults and Mrs. Lao are worried, my wife is fine, and her body is already well." Mrs. also said that she and Miss would move back to Yuanfu in a few days. ”
Those who originally wanted to see Mrs. Yuan were slightly stunned when they heard Mama Jiang's words.
The old lady's wife is actually moving back to the Yuan Mansion?
"What Miss?" Mrs. Duan frowned, Mrs. Yuan had always lived in the White Horse Temple by herself, and she didn't understand who the young lady in Mama Jiang's mouth was referring to.
Mama Jiang said: "Naturally, she is the granddaughter of Madame, the young lady of our General's Mansion." ”
"When did a young lady appear?" The others are also very strange, that Yuan Jing has disappeared for many years, and there is no news, could it be that he came back with his daughter?
Mama Jiang bowed her head slightly and sent Ji Yanning out of the temple gate.
The sun was a little warm, reflecting on Ji Yanning's face, and the breeze blew through her hair.
Ji Yanning said: "Thank you for sending me off." ”
Mama Jiang said: "It's a matter of duty." ”
"Delicate and delicate, Mama looks at her more. Ji Yanning said, seeing Mama Jiang's head, she bowed slightly, turned around and got into the carriage.
Coming to Chang'an for so long is also a thing.
It's just that Yuan Jiaojiao has become the young lady of the General's Mansion, and her face is naturally almost impossible to hide, and the investigation on Murong Yixue's side is going to speed up.
Her carriage went back into the city, and the journey was smooth.
Ji Yanning looked at the imperial carp jade pendant in his hand, and fell into contemplation for a while.
Yesterday he asked Yuan Wu to go to Dali Temple to bring out Yuan Jiaojiao and Shisu, with this imperial carp jade pendant, it is very easy, according to Yuan Wu, that Dali Temple to catch Yuan Jiaojiao and Zisu, is the order of King Xuan.
And this King Xuan is the owner of the jade pendant......
She now vaguely feels that it was King Xuan himself who gave her the imperial carp jade pendant.
But why did he target Yuan Jiaojiao?
This made Ji Yanning a little puzzled.
The carriage entered the city and headed in the direction of Liufu, but it didn't take long before the carriage stopped, and there was a commotion all around.
"What's going on?" Ziyu asked the escort who was driving, as she lifted the curtain.
The guard said, "There seems to be an argument ahead, blocking the way. ”
Ji Yanning said: "Let people go and see what happened, and if they can't pass, they should change the road earlier." ”
The guard on horseback answered yes, turned over and got out of the carriage, and walked forward.
After a while, the guard came back and reported: "There are two carriages in front of them that have collided with each other, and it seems that they will not be able to pass for a while." ”
Ji Yanning said: "Then let's change the way." ”
"Yes. ”
The guards were about to turn the carriage, but halfway through, another carriage suddenly came from behind, the street was not wide, and Ji Yanning's carriage was stuck by the carriage behind before it could complete its U-turn, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
"The carriage in front of you is out of the way!" the guards of the carriage behind began to shout.
The Ji family's guard said: "The one in front can't pass by, we are about to turn around, please retreat!"
"Joke, why should we retreat!" said the other guard, "we are going to take this way, get out of the way!"
The guard said, "Even if we don't turn around, we won't be able to pass ahead." ”
"Where is so much nonsense, do you know who is in our carriage!" said the other guard impatiently.
"Miss, what can I do?" the guard asked Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning said: "Don't turn around, give some money and let the small traders next to you give up the land, drive our carriage aside, and let them pass." ”
Guarding the jaw head, that's all it can be.
There are a lot of pedestrians on this street, and there are a lot of horse-drawn carriages that usually walk, but it should have been able to accommodate two horse-drawn carriages in front of you, but because there are vendors selling things around, the passage has become much narrower.
The guards of the Ji family turned the carriage around again, and then let the carriage drive aside, and finally let the carriage behind pass.
The guard was about to turn around, but was stopped by Ji Yanning.
She said: "I don't know if the carriage just now can pass, if they can't pass and have to turn around, I'm afraid that we will give way again, so it is better to wait on the sidelines." ”
