Chapter 158: Expedition
"There's even a make-up for me?" When Jiang Wan got the news, she couldn't help herself with excitement, and hurriedly stepped forward to push open the box, and saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and she was so happy that she couldn't help herself.
At the same time, Jiang Yan also received the news, and jumped in surprise and looked at the maid who came back to report: "But there are so many good things just by accompanying you on a trip, what you said is true?" ”
The maid hurriedly nodded, and said crisply: "The people in the house can see it clearly, and the box of gold, silver and jewelry was transported to the courtyard of the second lady, saying that it was a dowry for her." ”
The maid said as she gestured, and everyone could see the box.
Sure enough, the eldest lady's maternal grandfather's family is extraordinary, but just going with it has so much benefit.
"Damn ......" Jiang Yan angrily punched the table, and suddenly felt some pain in her wrist, frowned slightly, and let the next person go down first, and a wave of jealousy rose uncontrollably in her heart, this time Jiang Wan was not the only one who accompanied her, but she was about to get married and she could get so many good things.
Then Jiang Yu didn't rely on her grandfather's family to be rich and powerful, so she dared to act so arrogantly in the house.
Even if her father doesn't like her, the benefits are real.
It's just that I hate that my grandfather's family doesn't have much power, not to mention that now that my mother has died, the people in my grandfather's family have also broken off contact, and my mother didn't leave much dowry to herself when she was alive.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yan still decided to have a good relationship with Jiang Yu.
Even if it is said in two sentences, what can it be? Those benefits are real, and if you can get some back, it will be enough to add makeup to yourself.
Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Yan dressed neatly, threw a handkerchief and entered the Lanyue Pavilion, seeing that Jiang Yu was watering the flowers at this time, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister got up really early today, the flowers and plants in this yard grow well, and my sister actually raised them by herself." ”
"I usually get up at this time to water, as for the flowers? As long as you water it, it will naturally grow well, but why did my sister come over today? Didn't you always dislike coming to my Moon Pavilion on weekdays? Since Jiang Yan is here, she can't patronize watering and neglect Jiang Yan, Jiang Yu put the shower aside.
Lime, who was standing behind her, handed over the wet handkerchief in time.
After wiping her hands clean, Jiang Yu turned her head to look at Jiang Yan.
Looking at Jiang Yan today and usually, there are some differences, she wears gold and silver on weekdays, and she can't wait to put all the most precious things in the house on her head.
Today is actually extraordinarily simple, with some simple beads tied on his head, and some ordinary materials are also worn on his clothes.
"In the past, they were all young and ignorant, and today I came to apologize to my sister." The chuckle on Jiang Yan's face is abnormal.
Jiang Yu didn't break it, but wanted to see what Jiang Yan wanted to fix.
Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't answer her words, Jiang Yan waited for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised her head and looked at Jiang Yu, but her eyes were not as respectful as she said in her words.
"Yesterday, sister, your grandfather's family added some dowry to the second sister, do you know?" Jiang Yan pouted slightly, "I also went with my sister that day, why is it that there is no benefit for me, only the second sister, isn't it that your grandfather's family looks down on me as a concubine?" ”
Jiang Yu chuckled, it turned out to be for this......
"I don't know much about that thing, maybe it's because my second sister is about to get married, and besides, I haven't had much contact with my grandfather's family for so many years. If you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart, you can directly order it and ask for it from someone who has settled down. Jiang Yu took Jiang Yan to a courtyard, and after sitting down, a maid brought pastries.
Hearing Jiang Yu say such things, where can Jiang Yan still be able to sit still, if she has the face to beg for it, she would have gone a long time ago, why bother to find her.
"Sister...... You know, you don't go very often, so I go even less...... My dowry is also ......" She was intermittent, but she just wanted Jiang Yu to take her words.
It's a pity that Jiang Yu looked surprised, but she didn't follow her words, but sighed and shook her head, "I can't help this, if you go and ask for it yourself, maybe you can still ask for one, if you don't go, then I don't have a problem." ”
Jiang Yan tilted her head slightly, but the corners of her mouth were tilted downward, and she was resentful, obviously Jiang Yu just didn't want to help her.
"I almost forgot that I still have some things to do today, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain my sister, look at the sun is rising outside, and the sun is very sunny at noon, so my sister should go back early." Jiang Yu really didn't want to be entangled with Jiang Yan on this issue here.
Those dowries were left to her by An Furu, although there is no great commemorative significance, but Jiang Yu can't just give it away for no reason.
"If my sister still wants to stay here, don't stay here and eat these pastries at will, I'll go back to the house first." Without waiting for Jiang Yan to speak, Jiang Yu stood up, nodded at her and chuckled and left directly.
Walking to a place where Jiang Yan couldn't see, the three maids behind Jiang Yu laughed in unison.
"The third lady is really cheeky, how can she come and ask for it so directly?" Qing He asked with a smile.
"I must have seen that the second lady also received a lot of good things, and her eyes were red." The two little maids next to her began to whisper, listening to the movement behind her, Jiang Yu could only smile and shake her head.
In the evening, a secret guard suddenly appeared: "The master will meet Miss Yue in the old place." ”
The dark guard has always been elusive, and this sudden appearance did not scare Jiang Yu, but when he said this, Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment.
Before Jiang Yu could react, he disappeared.
After a few pages of the book, Jiang Yu closed it again, hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the back of the bamboo forest.
Sure enough, Xiao Xun was standing on a huge bamboo at this time.
Seeing Jiang Yu coming, he lifted his body lightly, and then jumped down.
"Is there anything you want me to do?" Jiang Yu asked curiously, if there was no important thing in the past, Xiao Xun would not look for her.
Moreover, in this way the message was sent to her.
An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness rose in her heart, Jiang Yu stared at the eyes behind Xiao Xun's mask, as clear and cold as before.
"You have always been wise, and today I will ask you a question, do you know who is the most feared saint today?" Xiao Xun did not answer Jiang Yu's question directly, but instead hooked the corners of his mouth and asked rhetorically.
Fearful?
Jiang Yu suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Xun and frowned.
"There is nothing more feared in the town today than those who hold military power, such as King Ning...... For example, Childe ......"
The corners of Xiao Xun's mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
Sure enough, she understood what she meant.
"It is rumored in the world that King Ning supports his own army, and I have heard of some rebellion voices in Beidi in those days, is it difficult to ......" Jiang Yu stopped talking and looked at Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun chuckled and nodded, "I really can't hide anything from you." ”
"Does Your Majesty want your son to go on the expedition?" Jiang Yu's face became more and more silent.
The emperor's hand drove wolves and tigers, and it was used well.
"That's right, it's true that as you think, he has always felt that King Ning's father and son have a self-respecting army, so he ordered me to go to Beidi...... I don't know when I will come back this time, but I came to see you today, and I don't know when the next meeting will be. A rare and rare doting smile was revealed.
Instead, Jiang Yu lowered her face, "Your Majesty...... How many soldiers have been allocated to you? ”
Jiang Yu felt a little uneasy in her heart.
I saw Xiao Xun silent for a long time, and replied lightly: "One hundred thousand." ”
"One hundred thousand?"
Jiang Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and she stepped forward and glared at Xiao Xun angrily.
"How can a mere 100,000 soldiers be able to deal with Beidi's iron cavalry? Are you crazy? Or is Your Majesty crazy? This must be a self-defeating road, the Beidi Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, how can it be easily dealt with by the Central Plains infantry? Jiang Yu was really angry for the first time, and her eyes were full of anger when she looked at Xiao Xun.
Although he already knew that the emperor would definitely give Xiao Xun some problems, he never thought that he only gave Xiao Xun a mere 100,000 troops, and then wanted to pacify Beidi?
This is clearly to borrow a knife to kill people and make King Ning's mansion extinct, except for Xiao Xun, the son of King Ning!
"As the so-called monarch and minister have to die, although it is extremely dangerous, it is not without any life, besides, you have to have some confidence in me." Seeing Jiang Yu's angry appearance, Xiao Xun felt a lot more at ease.
stepped forward to hold Jiang Yu in his arms, and after a long time, Xiao Xun let her go.
"I don't know when I come back, if you encounter something that you can't handle in this capital, you will rely on this jade pendant to go to Xunfeng Pavilion or Miaoshan Hall to ask for their help, and when you see this jade pendant, they will naturally help you." As he spoke, Xiao Xun untied a piece of jade pendant from his waist.
The jade pendant is slightly heavy in the hand, and the texture is exquisite.
Xiao Xun stuffed it into Jiang Yu's hand, looking at her with a slight smile in his eyes.
The anger on Jiang Yu's face did not dissipate at this time, and the jade pendant that was stuffed by Xiao Xun was choked up all of a sudden.
Emei frowned lightly and stuffed it back into Xiao Xun's hand.
"This thing is not of much use in my hands, and I can handle it myself when you are not there. You'd better take it back yourself, not to mention that this thing is very precious. Jiang Yu is still angry, the emperor's order is down, as long as Xiao Xun is willing, it is not impossible to avoid this task, and when the time comes, although His Majesty is angry, he will not be able to force him.
"Don't be angry, this thing will be put in your hand as a token, so that I can wait for me to come back and find you back." Xiao Xun couldn't help but say something, and directly hugged Jiang Yu's waist and tied the jade pendant to Jiang Yu's belt.
"If I don't see it when I come back, I'll ask you!" Xiao Xun smiled and scratched Jiang Yu's nose, this push and send it back and forth is not a matter, and Jiang Yu did not refuse anymore.
