146. What do you mean
Qingge doesn't have a big impression of this Shihe son, he always feels that he is very frivolous, and it is impossible for them to relax now, this is just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, Qingping should really think that they are here to retire and live a good life, right? They just changed the battlefield, whether it was a harem or an embassy, if they wanted to dig up something valuable, they would have to take risks.
Although she believes in her own little master, she is inevitably anxious.
After lifting the kettle to the boiling stove, Qingge wiped her hands clean, called Qingping to the door, and took out a letter that she had in her arms.
Qingping was a little confused: "Sister Qingge, what is this?" โ
Qingge helped her put the letter in her arms: "It's nothing, it's just the details of the things we brought, these still have to be handed over to Prince Xuan Jin, we don't know who these things are registered in the embassy's mansion, I will guard the lady, you don't have to worry about making tea, after moving the things outside, go to the front to see if Lord Lu is gone, just hand over the things to Prince Xuan Jin when you leave, and the son will understand when he sees it." โ
It turned out to be a list of items.
She didn't think much about it, and if she got a reward in the palace, she had to be registered, so there should be such a rule.
Qingge explained things to her to do, Qingping was naturally happy, at least it showed that Qingge still regarded her as her own person, and she was willing to take her with her, if she really didn't let her do anything, she was basically like a miscellaneous washing staff.
She answered and walked briskly outside.
Qingge looked at Qingping's back and looked at it for a long time before slowly turning back.
Xuan Jin invited Lu Ran to drink tea, and several other envoys naturally followed in to sit down, and the two sat down opposite the house.
Xuan Jin didn't answer, just looked at Lu Ran with a light smile, and the people who answered were all other people, saying that they had already experienced the style of Shengjing, and they had seen all the major streets, and they were very prosperous, but some habits were still not the same, and I made a joke when I went to the restaurant a few days ago, so I didn't mention it.
Lu Ran, like Xuan Jin, has a gentle temperament and makes people unconsciously close, but it doesn't make people feel easy to bully, but it shows a kind of extravagance that cannot be ignored.
On the contrary, a few envoys said more than Lu Ran, and he only mentioned many things briefly, and he could get a lot of interesting answers.
Shi He went halfway, and when he hurried back, he heard laughter inside.
He went into the house to greet Lu Ran, and then found a place next to him and sat down.
After listening to it for a while, I felt that this sending a pig and giving it away are really different, this Lord Lu Ran is very good, the Ying lady sent is very good, this person feels very good, clean and heroic, but he is a good man in Dajin, and the handsome son of Xuan Jin is comparable to them.
Shi He sat for a long time, and before he could say a few words to Lu Ran, the old men suddenly stood up together as if they had all said it, and said that they still had a lot of things to deal with, and after asking Xuan Jin to chat with Lu Ran for a while, they were going to withdraw one after another.
Shihe handed the tea to his lips was only half drunk: ???
No one consulted him.
He drinks tea without changing his face, diplomacy, the important thing is a cheeky one, he just won't leave today, how can he still drag him out?
As it turned out, it was he who dragged him out.
The old men gave him a wink, Shi He pretended not to see it, he couldn't understand, and was picked up directly from the chair by the last person to go out, and left the lobby with a ghostly scream.
Just bully him to be young and cute!
Do young people have no human rights?
Shihe protests! The protest was so loud that he was beaten, and then he went back to his room and lay down in a very sad state.
There were only Xuan Jin and Lu Ran left in the lobby, but both of them were extremely calm, no one spoke, and no one felt embarrassed.
In the few minutes that the two made eye contact, the air in the lobby seemed to freeze.
In the end, it was Xuan Jin who broke the silence first: "I thought at the time, how could Dongshu miss a talent like the seventeenth little brother, and even sent someone to the place where we met at that time to inquire after I went back, and wanted to invite the little brother to join the court as an official and be a colleague, but when I sent someone again, the little brother had already traveled far away, and I felt that this might be a regret in my life, but I didn't expect that the seventeenth little brother turned out to be the famous Lu Ran Gongzi, but I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, how can the Dongshu court invite a talent like the little brother." โ
Lu Ran listened with a smile, Xuan Jin's eyes were earnest, it could be seen that what he said was true, when he didn't know Lu Ran's identity at that time, he really wanted to invite Lu Seventeen, who he valued, to ascend to the throne of Dongshu's court.
It's a pity that there are too many things in this world that can't make you wish.
"Are you all cured?" Lu Ran still remembered how weak he was at that time, the vitality of Xuan Jin in front of him was in full swing, this was a bit stupid to ask, without waiting for Xuan Jin to answer, Lu Ran laughed first, "It's that I asked some stupid words, Xuan Jin's face is ruddy now, and he is naturally fine." โ
Xuan Jin didn't answer Lu Ran's words.
It's the default.
When they were at the Dongshu border, they had a good conversation, and their talents and conversations were good, and they were able to support and accept the arguments thrown by each other, and they were indispensable bosom friends in life.
They admired each other, and if it weren't for the way they met again, if it weren't for the fact that both of them were saddled with more identities and responsibilities, they could have become very good friends.
But now they are sitting opposite each other, and the middle is as if they are tens of millions of lands in the Great Jin and Dongshu.
The national boundaries and life experiences that cannot be crossed, and the feelings of the land that cannot be changed, make them destined to put the good memories of the past into the box in their hearts.
They are not the Xuan Little Brothers and the Seventeenth Little Brothers.
They are Dongshu Xuanjin and Dajin Lu Ran.
Sitting here now, both of them just want to get more information out of each other's mouths to their advantage.
It's a pity that the two of them are too cautious and conservative, and they said it for a while, except for reminiscing about the past, they only said that they would take them to the fun places they couldn't find in Dajin in a few days.
After decided, Lu Ran was about to get up and leave, and when he was about to walk to the door, Xuan Jin suddenly called out to him: "Seventeen little brother." โ
Lu Ran looked back, and the light fell behind him, casting a shadow over his face.
"If you have not entered the Great Jin Dynasty, I invite you to go to the Dongshu Imperial City, will you respond?" There was a glimmer of light in Xuan Jin's eyes, and from Lu Ran's point of view, those eyes seemed to be the color of amber.
Lu Ran felt that when Xuan Jin asked this, he had some selfish expectations.
But he wasn't good at deceiving people, so Lu Ran gave him a smile, and an answer that was diametrically opposed to this pure smile.
He waved his hand and said goodbye: "No." โ
The next time we meet, the title of Lu XVII will never be mentioned again.
ยท
Qingping came at the right time, the lobby was quiet, and everyone seemed to have left.
She cautiously leaned over to look, she didn't expect to see Xuan Jin inside, but when she stretched out her head, she found that Xuan Jin was really sitting alone inside.
I don't know if it's a surprise or not.
She withdrew her little head, patted her heart, and took a deep breath.
Just when he followed the sedan chair to look at Xuan Jin from a distance, Qingping felt that it was too dazzling, he and Lu Ran Gongzi stood together and were not inferior, it was. I have to make people blush and heartbeat.
At this time, she can actually go in alone to talk to Xuan Jin's son, Qingping was nervous and excited, and she did a long time of psychological construction for herself, and when she was ready to lean out again, she found that Xuan Jin was looking in the direction of her.
As soon as Qingping raised her eyes, she looked at Xuan Jin.
Qingping subconsciously held her breath, almost suffocating, but Xuan Jin's expression suddenly seemed to be like a frozen lake melting, and after seeing who the person at the door was, she slowly showed a smile: "Are you looking for me?" โ
He was so gentle, so gentle that Qingping couldn't control her trembling body with excitement, and she even forgot how to speak, just nodded her head, walked quickly to him with a happy face, and then handed her the letter in her arms.
Xuan Jin stretched out his hand and took it: "Your little lady asked you to send it over?" โ
Qingping nodded like pounding garlic, and after seeing Xuan Jin smiling at her again at such a close distance, the string in her head was completely broken.
Xuan Jin didn't open it immediately, he just said that he knew, and she made a special trip after hard work, which meant that she could go back.
Qingping understood, and nodded her head obediently, but her body didn't listen to her own call, and she was reluctant to move her steps when the pestle was half loud here.
After all, Lu Ran has a reputation in Dajin, and Qingping is more in awe of him in addition to reverence.
But Xuan Jin is different, Qingping doesn't know anything about his deeds in Dongshu, he only knows that he is a young and promising young talent with an excellent family background, otherwise how could he be a first-class envoy at a young age?
Because I don't know much, I let Qingping give birth to a. Xuan Jin has a better feeling of being close than Lu Ran.
It is a common thing for such a son to have a few more servant maids around him, as long as he is willing to speak, there is nothing that cannot be done.
She doesn't know where her messy thoughts came from, and the tension between Dajin and Dongshu is only circulated among high authorities. It's as if it's so far away that it will never come back.
She was here with a pestle, until Xuan Jin gently asked her if there was anything else, Qingping came back to her senses, forced herself uneasily, and finally said the first sentence to Xuan Jin: "When will Gongzi go to see our lady?" โ
She asked this strangely, it hadn't been half a day since Ying Niangzi arrived at the embassy, so she was in such a hurry to ask him when he would come, no matter how it sounded, it didn't sound right.
But after asking, Qingping was still waiting for Xuan Jin's answer with an expectant face, Xuan Jin felt funny, and asked her: "This is what your lady asked you to ask?" โ
"No, it's not." Qingping subconsciously denied it, and only after saying it did she realize that she was not exposing her mind when she said this, and her face turned red at the moment.
Xuan Jin smiled very lightly, and slowly stood up, but he didn't make Qingping even more embarrassed: "Wait for your lady to rest for a few more days and get used to it a little, I'll go to see your lady again, this should be the busiest time for you to pack up your things, right?" I received the things, you can go back first. โ
Xuan Jin gave her the stairs, Qingping herself was relieved, thinking that Xuan Jin's son was really gentle, and she couldn't help but prefer two points in her heart, and after hurriedly blessing herself, she turned around and ran away.
Xuan Jin watched her run away, and the smile on the corner of her lips gradually cooled.
He took the envelope back out, and after a moment of silence, tore open and took out the letterhead.
The letter was written by Pinzhu.
probably means that Concubine Jing is now pregnant, and Qi Ying pays special attention to her every move, so she can only ghostwrite, and she thought of a way to buy off the maid of Ying Niangzi, and sent this letter to Xuan Jin's hand.
The letter that Xuan Jin sent to the palace earlier, Concubine Jing regarded it as a treasure, and she had to read it repeatedly almost every day to feel at ease.
After asking him how he was okay in the letter, he was a little resentful and long-winded, and Xuan Jin saw some useful words at the end of the letter.
Jiang Wan deliberately asked Pinzhu to emphasize the information about Ying Niangzi at the end.
Judging from this letter, Ying Niangzi is just a beauty selected by a petty official family, and there seems to be nothing that needs special attention.
On the contrary, it was this Qingping, who was selected by Qi Ying to be sent out from the palace to serve the Ying Niangzi, and Qingping had served the Queen Mother, which made Xuan Jin pay a lot of attention.
During this time, Pinzhu was suppressed by Jingyue in the palace, in fact, there was no practical development opportunity at all, but compared to the envoys who had just arrived in the Great Jin, most of the palace information they could obtain was also from Pinzhu.
The four beauties just entered the palace, and they couldn't count on anything, and Pinzhu's letter became the only channel of communication.
It is impossible for Xuan Jin to know about Pinzhu's punishment for the time being, this is just a trivial matter in Meixi Palace, and it may not even be possible to pass on the palace gate of Meixi Palace, not to mention that Pinzhu is almost held hostage now, and it is impossible to play any tricks when Jiang Wan clearly asks to record it word by word according to what she said.
Unless she doesn't want to die.
And judging from Changzhong's interrogation earlier, Pinzhu still cherishes his life.
The letter was smoothly handed over to Xuan Jin.
He read it several times, and felt that what the letter said about Concubine Jing's state seemed to be true, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was something very strange.
Xuan Jin pinched the letter paper, sat down, and deliberated repeatedly.
According to Pinzhu, the eyeliner that Qi Ying planted was actually not the more suspicious-looking Ying Niang, but an inconspicuous girl named Qingping.
It was a palace maid who had served the Queen Mother, and now the Queen Mother lived in Yunde Palace to recuperate and worship the Buddha and no longer went out, Qi Ying chose such a palace maid, and followed her to the embassy as a maid and maid of Ying.
At first glance, it sounds reasonable and makes sense.
But Xuan Jin thinks that the information that Pinzhu learned may be what Qi Ying deliberately let her know?
Who said there could only be one spy sent?
Xuan Jin folded the letter and tucked it into her cuff.
The only thing that could be adopted by the news brought by Pinzhu was to explain why Song Yujiao did not respond to the messages he sent several times.
But the Great Jin people in the embassy hall, every one of them is here in Xuan Jin, and they all look at it according to the spies.
Even if it's just a guy who cooks, he can't get rid of suspicion.
After putting the letter away, Xuan Jin took the last sip of the teacup at hand, and finally stood up slowly and walked towards his room in the back.
The embassy is very large, the front and back yards, the garden pavilions are a lot, Qingping went back to the mood to jump up and down happily, specially looking for someone to take a bottle, after receiving some water, he went to the garden to go around, saw the good-looking, blooming extraordinarily bright flowers, then folded down and inserted into the vase.
When it was full, Qingping touched the vase and went back satisfied.
Because it took too long, Qingge looked at the moon gate many times and didn't see Qingping's figure, everything here has been almost cleaned up, and everything that should be put in the warehouse has also been put in, Wu Shuying said that she is not too sleepy, Qingge did not make the bed, and found a chaise longue in the corner that looked a little old, and after it was laid soft, it was quite comfortable to lie down.
Wu Shuying wanted to bask in the sun, so the recliner was moved under the mulberry tree under the porch, which could shade the sun a little, and it would not cover it completely.
When Qingping came back, Wu Shuying had just fallen asleep on the recliner, and Qingge was guarding beside her, and as soon as she turned around when she heard the footsteps, she saw Qingping with cheerful steps, as if she had met something good.
Looking at the vase in Qingping's hand again, her expression darkened, and when she stepped forward quickly to Qingping's face, she didn't wait for Qingping to speak, so he pulled her in another direction.
When she reached the corner, Qingge stopped and asked her, "Did you give the things to Childe?" โ
Qingping nodded a little weakly: "Given." After speaking, as if he wanted to change the topic, he raised the thing in his hand with a smile, "Sister Qingge, look, isn't this flower drift beautiful?" Later, I will put our lady on the windowsill, and the lady must be in a good mood when she sees it. โ
Qingge glanced at the bottle: "Where did you get the vase from?" โ
Qingping muttered, "That's it... I saw someone passing by, and asked for one by the way. โ
Qingge took a deep breath, and then took the vase in Qingping's hand and was about to leave.
Qingping hurriedly caught up and asked a little anxiously: "Sister Qingge, where are you going to get it?" โ
Qingge looked ahead: "Take it and throw it away." โ
Qingping is not happy now, since she came here, why does she feel that it is wrong to do any light songs?
"What are you doing?! I picked it up for our lady to see, and you said throw it away?! Qingping said angrily.
Qingge's steps paused, and he looked at it coldly: "Do you really think we are here to play?" Do you know the people here? Did you know? I dare to take anything back, I just want to ask, what do you mean? โ
