144. The royal pig is a bit picky eater
Su Pei couldn't stay in the palace for long.
After the matter is finished, the mother and daughter, who have met for a short time, will usher in a parting.
Jiang Wan wanted to see Su Pei's hand, forced her to sit down, and frowned nervously: "Mother, who hurt you?" โ
Su Pei pursed her lips and smiled, and gently pinched Jiang Wan's face with her other hand: "You are still careful, Jiang Tingye, that bastard boy, can't see anything." She saw Jiang Wan's brows tightened, and rubbed her eyebrows again, "Mother is fine, it's just a small injury, and it will be fine in a few days." โ
She refused to show Jiang Wan the wound, and only kept reassuring her that she was okay, Jiang Wan couldn't force her mother's sleeve up in front of Qi Ying, and after repeatedly confirming with Su Pei that it was not a serious injury, the expression on Jiang Wan's face relaxed a little.
Sending Su Pei out of the palace is also a secret passage, the mother and daughter are reluctant to say goodbye, goodbye and take care of more than ten times, Su Pei finally relented, put on the hat and turned away.
Qi Ying stayed by Jiang Wan's side and hugged her shoulders tightly, until Su Pei's figure was out of sight, and then she comforted lightly: "I'll see you again soon." โ
Jiang Wan couldn't retract her gaze for a long time, and this time she and her mother met, it was a full four years apart.
She even left them behind for a while.
Leaving her family behind, she happily died.
I didn't feel anything at the time, how could people who were indulging in their grief think so much.
But when she said goodbye to Su Pei this time, Jiang Wan was really heartbroken and guilty.
Her parents gave birth to her so big, and she didn't do her filial piety yet, only thinking about how to free herself, which is the biggest selfishness and unfilial piety.
Fortunately, she is back now.
What if they don't come back?
In the days to come, even if they find out the truth and punish the Guo family, can Jiang Changyuan and Su Pei really be relieved?
I can't think about it.
The loss of her child was like a heart gouging flesh.
Supe lost her, and it should be the same.
Jiang Wan subconsciously raised her hand to protect her stomach, she was still hesitating, but now it seems that the arrow is ready to be sent, and she has already had to send it, she was silent for a moment, and she didn't notice that Qi Ying's eyes were full of worry when she looked at her.
She was pregnant, and she shouldn't have thought too much about pregnancy.
But when the matter came to this point, no matter how much Qi Ying dissuaded, she didn't want to say anything when it came to her lips.
At the beginning of the dispute between him and Jiang Wan, it was the concept that he thought it was good for the other party.
Jiang Wan knows better than him how to be good to children.
More expectant and careful than he is for this child.
After the silence, Jiang Wan slowly turned her head: "I think... Send another big gift to the envoys of Dongshu. โ
The light in Qi Ying's eyes flashed, and then she smiled softly: "Okay." โ
ยท
It has been more than ten days since Xuan Jin arrived at the embassy.
The official in charge of all their affairs during this time was called Shen Kang.
Xuan Jin specially sent someone to investigate, Shen Kang has always been a loose official, and it is precisely because of this visit from Dongshu that he finally has something practical to do.
I don't know if it's Xuan Jin's illusion, he always feels that this Shen Kang loves to come to the embassy very much, and he has to handle all the big and small things himself, as if he is always ready to invite merit.
But as soon as he dismisses the official, why does he urgently need to ask for credit?
Xuan Jin thought it was interesting, and people paid attention to Shen Kanglai.
He sent beauties to Qi Ying, and also sent beauties to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Palace, and after just two days of purification, the embassy pavilion became lively.
Qi Ying called An Jihe into the palace and also gave Xuan Jin and them a 'big gift'.
Many people on the street were attracted by the movement here, and soon the outside of the embassy was surrounded by water, An Jihe walked in the forefront, and smiled and beckoned to Xuan Jin and others who were standing on the porch at the door: "Xuan Jin's son is early!" โ
Xuan Jin smiled lightly: "What good things did you bring here, my lord?" โ
The carriage of the carriage was still wrapped in black cloth, followed by a group of people dressed in colorful clothes, and Xuan Jin instinctively felt that it would not be a good thing.
An Jihe smiled exaggeratedly, beckoned people to make the yard clean, and asked people to tie the big net they brought in the yard, and after tying it into a closed loop, he walked quickly to Xuan Jin's side and stood still, and said softly: "This thing, it's a bit of a recognition, but it's okay, don't worry, Childe, it's very docile, run away, and it's cooked." โ
Xuan Jin's eyelids twitched unconsciously, but the upbringing and habits he had cultivated all the year round still made him calm down as quickly as possible, compared to the few Dongshu envoys behind him who had begun to talk and make noise, Xuan Jin was obviously much calmer.
He bowed his head slightly and said gently: "When my lord said this, I was a little curious. โ
The inexplicable smile in An Jihe's eyes deepened, he clapped his hands, and gestured to the little eunuch standing there, and the black cloth on the carriage was pulled down like this, Xuan Jin almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
This black cloth is not a carriage yet.
It's a big iron cage.
There was nothing horrible, disgusting, or unsightly in the cage.
There's a pig in it.
A fat pig that is white and tender, and can be slaughtered directly by dragging it on the slaughtering table.
Xuan Jin tugged at the corners of her mouth, feeling that at this moment, it was really difficult for Qi Ying to understand what Qi Ying's intention was in sending this thing to the embassy.
He stiffened for several seconds before finally looking at An Jihe hesitantly: "This is?" โ
An Jihe waved his hand over there with a look of what you have seen: "Lift it down, quickly lift it down, let it be for our envoys to run around twice!" It's energetic! โ
As soon as the cage was opened, the pig was dragged off, and as soon as it was pulled, the pig began to neigh wildly, and the huge pig cry was heard all the way to the street outside the embassy.
The embassy is killing pigs?!
The people standing outside could not see the situation inside clearly, and could only hear the sound of pigs, and they were so anxious that they wanted to climb over the wall one by one.
Hearing the pig's bark, Xuan Jin's face became even more stiff, what does it mean to let the pig run two laps for them? Qi Ying is mocking them for not seeing a pig run when they come to Dongshu?
However, An Jihe pretended not to notice it, and enthusiastically introduced the pig next to Xuan Jin: "Son, please look, can you see anything different about the pig in front of you?" โ
Xuan Jin glanced at An Jihe like a fool, but his expression was serious and not like a joke, and Xuan Jin, who couldn't figure out what Qi Ying's intentions were, finally cautiously observed the pig running up for a moment, and said cautiously: "Have a longer nose?" โ
An Jihe shook his head regretfully.
Xuan Jin raised his eyebrows: "The meat is tighter?" โ
An Jihe shook his head even more regretfully.
Xuan Jin frowned, looked at it twice, and hesitated: "It shouldn't be whiter, right?" โ
After saying that, I laughed.
An Jihe didn't smile, he pointed to the pig, and said solemnly: "Childe, please look, this pig, it is not an ordinary pig, it is the pig that the emperor saved from the leopard's mouth in the hunting ground last year, when he was still young. An Jihe stretched out his two hands and gestured to Xuan Jin, "When I was so young, the emperor also fed it a vegetable leaf with his own hands, so this pig, it is a real royal pig!" โ
Xuan Jin was silent.
He glanced at the non-existent pig from last year that Anjihe had drawn out, and took a deep breath: "What do you mean... The emperor gave me a pig? โ
An Jihe corrected: "It's the royal pig." โ
The Dongshu envoys behind Xuan Jin were not happy, and they all said that the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty meant a few things, they sent treasures and beauties, and turned their faces to transport a pig to the embassy to make a mess, is this like a word? !
An Jihe's kind face that was squinting and smiling just now, and the moment he turned his face, he became gloomy: "What do these envoys mean is that they look down on the royal pig that our emperor personally rescued and fed again?" Our emperor's heart and kindness, it seems that the Dongshu envoys can't feel it very much. โ
An Jihe has always been the person who is the best at wearing high hats, and when he said something, several Dongshu envoys were ashamed and annoyed, but they couldn't speak.
One of the younger ones was a little more vigorous, muttering in a low voice, "Who knows if it's real or fake?!" We haven't seen it with our own eyes, and it's not up to you to say whatever you want. โ
An Jihe has good ears, not only heard, but also heard word for word, he took a step forward, accurately lifted the little envoy who turned sideways to speak, he looked at the lean and thin little old man, I don't know where he got so much strength, directly dragged a sturdy young man to the side of the stairs, he staggered and almost fell down the stairs, swayed left and right, and narrowly gained a foothold under the steps.
As soon as he stood firm, he raised his head angrily: "What are you doing?!" โ
An Jihe folded his hands in front of his abdomen, looked at him condescendingly, and his eyes were cold: "Go ahead." โ
The young envoy was still immersed in the anger of his heart, and now he didn't know what An Jihe's cold eyes meant, and he said in a rushing tone: "What are you going to?!" โ
An Jihe: "Go and apologize to the royal pig." โ
The young envoy had a crazy look on his face: "Apologize? He reached out and pointed at the stupid pig running in circles behind him, "You asked me to apologize to a pig?!" โ
An Jihe didn't answer his words again, but his firm eyes clearly told him: That's right, it is to apologize to the pig.
Xuan Jin was silent beside him.
When the envoy behind him spoke, he could have stopped it, but he didn't.
When this young envoy came forward, he could have stopped it, but he didn't either.
Because he wants to see where An Jihe's bottom line is, he is sending things on behalf of Qi Ying, and his attitude also represents Qi Ying's attitude that he wants him to show to Dongshu.
Xuan Jin understands now.
He called out to the young envoy who was still going to continue to challenge An Jihe's authority: "Shihe." โ
The words of the young envoy named Shihe came to his lips were swallowed back because of Xuan Jin's stopping.
They all seemed to respect Xuan Jin, Xuan Jin nodded his chin, although Shi He was shocked and unwilling, but after a long time of complicated emotional entanglement, he still held back his anger and grievances, turned around and got into the net that was pulled up.
The pigs are still running.
After Shi He went in, he remembered that this pig ran like this, how could he apologize to it?! He stood stiffly in place for a while, seeing the pig's face getting closer and closer, the hairs on his body instantly stood up one after another, this was too terrifying, it was beyond Shi He's cognition, he finally couldn't hold back, screamed and ran forward.
It's okay if he doesn't run, as soon as he runs like this, the pig is also crazy, and he is chasing after him desperately, Shi He screamed and was about to cry in fright, shouting at the top of his throat while running: "I'm sorry!" I'm sorry! โ
An Jihe looked at the scene in front of him, showed a smile of relief, turned his head to Xuan Jin and said, "Childe, look, this person is a pig, how harmonious." โ
Xuan Jin: ......
But the delivery has been delivered, Qi Ying is determined to send it, what can I do?
Fortunately, the pig ran for a long time, and finally got tired of running, and it snorted twice, lay down on the ground, and did not move.
Shi He, who was finally not chased by the pig, screamed and ran around again, and when he almost kicked the pig's buttocks, he finally realized that the pig was not good, and stopped with a sudden brake.
He was sweating and panting, and after he stopped, he felt that his throat and lungs hurt when he shouted, and when he turned his head, An Jihe looked at him with a smile, Shihe shivered, and was so frightened that he ran away directly to his room.
An Jihe successfully completed the task, politely rejected Xuan Jin's good offer to let him sit down and drink tea, and repeatedly told him that because he was a royal pig, he had to be treated with extra piety.
Before leaving, Anjihe reminded: "It is a picky eater. โ
Xuan Jin responded with a smile, obviously, he hadn't realized what kind of picky eating An Jihe so-called 'picky eater' was.
After all, it's just a pig, why don't you eat when you're hungry? Where can you pick it?
On the second day, Xuan Jin knew that he was wrong.
can become a royal pig, it really has its own place to pass the pig.
What An Jihe said about picky eating, Xuan Jin felt that it was inaccurate.
When he opened the door, he saw a pig looking at him with an innocent pig face.
Xuan Jin felt that it might be provocative.
Shi He now sees that it has a psychological shadow, and he refuses to come forward when he dies.
The others held a dustpan of fresh vegetable leaves and put it to its mouth, and the royal pig refused to open its mouth, so it had to stay at Xuan Jin's door, and when it saw Xuan Jin watching the door, it called.
Shi He, who was hiding behind a pillar in the distance, snorted: "It must be a sow!" โ
Several envoys holding vegetable leaves pulled the corners of their mouths in embarrassment: "Childe. . . This.. This pig won't drive away and won't eat, you see. โ
Xuan Jin looked at the royal pig in silence for a moment, and then he let go of the hand on the door, let the half-open door open completely, and whispered: "It's okay." โ
He took the dustpan from the envoy's hand and stepped over the threshold to the bottom of the stairs.
It's also strange to say, this pig really obediently kept up with Xuan Jin's pace and ran towards the yard.
Shi He showed half of his face sadly, and muttered: "I like Childe so much, I didn't see you chasing him yesterday!" โ
He hid far away, and Xuan Jin naturally didn't hear it.
He walked to the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench, the pig was just up to his thigh, and then he looked up at him again and called Xuan Jin again.
Xuan Jin suddenly smiled.
This royal pig is really interesting, as if it is really contaminated with the breath of the dragon.
He picked up the vegetable leaf and handed it to its mouth, and a group of envoys stood on the steps, looking at the royal pig who had just died and refused to speak, and ate the vegetable leaf that Xuan Jin had fed him.
The two envoys looked at each other: "Childe. . . โ
Xuan Jin didn't look back, his eyes were half drooping, as he had always been docile and decent, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll feed it in the future." โ
As if he understood Xuan Jin's words, the royal pig ate something in his mouth, and did not forget to hum twice to echo Xuan Jin.
Xuan Jin pursed her lips and raised her hand to pat its head.
It seems that he has provoked someone who is not easy to mess with.
ยท
The royal pig stayed in the minister's mansion with such peace of mind.
Xuan Jin let people open up a small world for it in the backyard, usually when it is fine, it is locked in its small circle activities, and when it comes to the meal, there will be a special person to open the door for it, and then the royal pig will run to Xuan Jin's side one by one, quietly waiting for him to feed.
Although the small circle will be cleaned every day, and the royal pig will be bathed regularly, but the backyard is still filled with a unique smell of pigs, Shihe has to retch twice every time he comes, he really can't stand it, and he went to Xuan Jin to cry several times, saying that he is afraid of pigs now, and he can't even eat pork, and he has lost weight, which is too miserable.
Xuan Jin didn't raise his eyelids, and he ate something else if he couldn't eat a word, which made Shi He's heart hurt, tears rolled in his eyes, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
I thought that the matter of giving gifts would be over here, Xuan Jin fed the pigs every day, and the Dongshu envoys poked out their brains by the moon gate, revealing painful and suffocating expressions.
This wants to let the girls of Dongshu know that their gentle and jade-like son Xuan Jin feeds pigs in the embassy every day, and I am afraid that they can screw off the heads of the envoys who followed them.
How can Xuan Jin's hands feed pigs?!
It's a heart-wrenching scene!
The mad royal pig!
Several people were anxious every day, thinking about how to get the pig back, but they really couldn't think of a good way.
Xuan Jin didn't seem to care about this matter at all, and he hit it off at first sight with the royal pig, and he fed it all day long, and he was about to get addicted to it.
This must be a conspiracy of the Great Jin!
Dongshu envoy gritted his teeth and thought that the son of Xuan Jin had always been cold and arrogant, and he lacked interest in the girls, only kept a polite and decent distance, and never showed a little fanatical love for all kinds of pets, but sometimes he would pet them twice.
Who knew that a pig would get on the road first!
Spread the word, and the girls in Quan Dongshu are going crazy!
Just when the envoys of Dongshu were so anxious that they couldn't do anything, the embassy pavilion, which had been quiet for several days, ushered in the team in the palace with great fanfare.
Hearing the movement, a group of people changed their faces and hurried out to see.
Fortunately, it was not a carriage covered with black cloth that came in this time.
This time, it was a sedan chair dressed up in a particularly festive manner.
The sedan chair was steadily carried into the open space of the embassy hall, and several Dongshu envoys stepped forward and vigilantly looked at the few servants and maidservants who came with them.
Xuan Jin fed the last vegetable leaf, got up slowly, and walked over this way.
He glanced at the sedan chair, his eyes moved slightly to the side, and he saw Lu Ran standing in front, he seemed to be waiting for his traces to appear, and after seeing himself walking out of the moon gate, he smiled and began to read Qi Ying's dictation.
Going around and around, in fact, it's just one sentence.
Qi Ying gave Xuan Jin and brought another beauty.
