Chapter 228: Shang Shanke is here
Hearing Kong Yun's rare tantrum, Wuhao hurriedly threw away the dog in his hand, stood up straight and agreed.
"Yes, the little one must find the chrysanthemum back, and if you don't find it, you will never come back to see the adult."
Although he was in a hurry to get rid of Wuxiao, Kong Yu felt that his orders should not be so severe.
After the quick guarantee was completed, he followed the dog and ran away again. Kong Yoo withdrew his half-outstretched hand, thinking that if he hadn't come back for a while, he would send someone to look for it.
The study suddenly fell silent, and the two of them looked at each other speechless for a moment, and Su Jingye suddenly remembered the place discussed before.
Remembering the lonely expression on Kong Yu's face when he said the last sentence at that time, Su Jingye suddenly began to sympathize with this good-looking man.
"Although this king is deeply sympathetic to Lord Kong's idea, this king still thinks that it is better for Lord Kong not to be too stubborn." When Su Jingye's words landed, Kong Yu suddenly turned his head sideways to look at a chessboard placed next to him, twisted two of the chess pieces and rubbed them continuously at his fingertips.
"Instead of envying others for family reunions, why don't Master Kong give up this time, bow his head for the time being, and save himself and the girl's happiness in the second half of his life."
"I have always only known that the prince is decisive in killing on the battlefield, and he is vain in the court, but I didn't expect to be so keen on the three aunts and six mothers-in-law." The chess pieces in Kong Yoo's hand stopped abruptly and made a piercing sound.
This sound was not caused by accidental friction, but as if someone had made enough strength, Su Jingye raised his eyes to look at him, and he could see what kind of anger Kong Yu had in his heart. But listening to Kong Yu's sarcasm, Su Jingye's heart inevitably aroused resentment.
"What do you mean by this, Master Kong? This king is bent on coming to care about him as an official in the court, does Master Kong have to be like this? ”
"If you lose your words in the next moment, please forgive the prince." Kong Yu threw the two chess pieces back into the box, and his tone of voice was not half apologetic. "It's just that the prince doesn't have to be like this, since I have promised to assist the prince before, I will never break my word."
"Seeing that it's not early now, the humble house is barren, there is really no exquisite tea and rice to serve the prince, the prince should please go back."
Su Jingye frowned when he heard this, his right hand clenched into a fist and gently knocked on the coffee table, and Kong Yu added another sentence before he could have a seizure.
"Besides, the lower officials are busy with the matter of the tiger talisman handed over by His Majesty, and they have no leisure to accompany the guests. The delay in the time of the lower officials is a small matter, and it affects the big things ordered by His Majesty, and I hope the prince understands. ”
"You," Su Jingye's resentment was nowhere to be released, and after sulking alone, he finally let go of his right hand and slowly stood up.
"In that case, then the king won't bother much. Master Kong should run away like this, after all, other people's affairs really have nothing to do with this king. There are still a bunch of troubles around this king, and it's not just Master Kong who is suffocating. ”
"Lord Wang, please." When Su Jingye said this, he planned not to care about his nosy anymore. And Kong Yoo's expression did not change in the slightest, he was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, only making a gesture of please, and the whole person looked extraordinarily gloomy.
Su Jingye left the Confucian Mansion angrily, only to feel that his good intentions were treated as donkey livers and lungs.
The groom frightened and dragged Su Jingye, who was in a bad mood, back to the palace, he got out of the car and rushed into the study, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and asked Liang Xin to send it out.
The letter urged Jiang Liuyu to come back early, and also to save himself from being tired of this kind of ungrateful person. The time when Jiang Liuyu got this letter happened to be the last day of the three-day period agreed with Shang Shanke.
After Jiang Liuyu read it, he habitually burned the letter with an expressionless face, but there were thousands of waves in his heart. The two parties involved did not have such great enthusiasm, and they really poured cold water on those who were looking anxious.
"The prince has sent a letter, probably because he misses the princess and wants to urge the princess to go back early."
The three of them were in the same room after dinner, Jiang Liuyu was reading the letter under the window and burned it directly, although the other two were a little curious, they didn't take the initiative to ask about the contents.
Finding that Jiang Liuyu's expression was not very good after reading the letter, Bao Jingshu came over to care, and by the way, he took a plate of freshly cut apples. Jiang Liuyu looked at the plate of apples and shook her head and let go of her fingers.
The debris that had been burned to the ground fell lightly, bobbing back and forth between the legs of the wooden shelves with the flow of air in the room.
"Well, there's no way around it anyway, let's go back early, after all, it's not safe to stay outside for a long time." They came out very low-key this time, and they only brought maids with them.
It's just a few girls present, which one is not a character with a special identity and is very easy to attract people's attention.
Jiang Liuyu's eyes swirled back and forth between Bao Jingshu, who was worried, and Xiang Fanhua, who was playing with stones, thinking that although Xiang Fanhua's force was not low, for the sake of his own fun selfishness, it was better not to let the two of them go into the water.
"But you don't have to, you two must have received a lot of letters from home." Jiang Liuyu teased with a smile, Bao Jingshu was only stunned for a moment, and responded with a smile.
Only Xiang Fanhua, who was sitting at the table in front of him, hit the table with his hand, and all the stones flying in the air hit the table, making a crisp sound one after another.
"It seems that Mrs. Shi's urging voice is particularly tight." Jiang Liuyu gave up his position and let Xiao Yun, who came over with a broom, clean up his things.
Xiang Fanhua's ears were red, but he still maintained a proud posture, quietly picked up the stones on the table again, and pretended to make a noise while throwing them.
"What's the urgency, I'm not playing calmly until now, forgive him for not being too troublesome, and he doesn't dare to meddle in my affairs."
Living in a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city has the advantage of being close to the post house and making it extremely convenient to receive letters. And there are many houses and countless streets in Yangcheng, so it is difficult to guarantee that one or two will not be missed after going around like this.
Jiang Liuyu chose this place at the beginning, but also to see that the transportation this time is quite convenient, as long as he takes some time to pass by the post house every day and ask, he can get his letter as soon as possible.
For the sake of this benefit, even if it was a letter from Yancheng, Bao Jingshu did not miss a letter, and it was precisely because of this that Xiang Fanhua was made fun of by them tonight.
Xiang Fanhua was extremely confident, and Jiang Liuyu listened to it a little unbelievable. Lord Shi, who usually looks the most vigorous and upright, has actually become a good person in his wife's mouth, and the contrast between the two sides is really surprising.
"Okay, I don't know if what you said is true or not." Jiang Liuyu was halfway through her words, and Xiang Fanhua was about to refute with an unhappy face, but she waved her hand to stop her.
"Let's go to bed early today, it's going to be a long journey back to the capital from here, so let's at least accumulate some energy, so as not to be unbearable." Jiang Liuyu said, glancing at Bao Jingshu deliberately.
As early as when she first came over, Jiang Liuyu saw that Bao Jingshu wanted to go back earlier, and now that it was finally time to leave, she must be extremely happy.
"Okay, princess rest early." Bao Jingshu had an irrepressible smile on her face, and after politely greeting Jiang Liuyu with Xiang Fanhua, the two left hand in hand.
Jiang Liuyu looked at the room that had quieted down instantly, and felt empty in his heart, so he started to pack up his things and stuffed a skin care product bought from Yangcheng into his bag.
This skin care product is called jade face hibiscus cream, and it is said that rubbing it on the face is particularly good for women's skin. However, Jiang Liuyu is confident that the Yuzhi in her hand has a better effect, and the reason why she bought it is just because its packaging is very interesting.
The cookie-cutter colored small porcelain jar is not a place that makes people feel bright, the key is that the embroidered cloth bag on the outside of it looks extraordinarily exquisite, even if it is taken out alone, it can also be used as a purse for shopping.
Jiang Liuyu carefully placed it on the top of her bag, thinking that after she went back, she could show off in front of Su Jingye.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, with the help of the maids beside him, Xiang Fanhua and Bao Jingshu's things were almost packed. I went to the night market with her before, and bought a lot of local snacks from Fanhua and Xiaobao, saying that I could stay on the road to eat.
But fortunately, at these times, the weather gradually cools down, and I think it should be able to save for two or three days. Bao Jingshu saved a lot of trouble, except for two or three particularly favorite paintings, he didn't pick anything else.
However, these pictures together may be more than twice the price of so many dim sum from Xiang Fanhua.
After Jiang Liuyu asked the groom to help carry the things into the car, he gently patted the outermost package twice, thinking that there should be nothing missing, so he waved his hand.
"Alright, let's go home."
"Princess, ma'am."
Jiang Liuyu just raised his arms and shouted, and when the words landed, a woman's call came from behind.
The three people in the courtyard heard the sound and looked, only to see Shang Shanke hurriedly taking a little maid in green clothes and getting down from the carriage on the sheep intestine path outside the courtyard.
Due to the wrong direction, the merchant had to pass through a small patch of weeds to turn to the main entrance of the courtyard. It was overgrown with weeds, and there were many small insects jumping around in between, and the merchant didn't mind walking straight over with his skirt up.
Jiang Liuyu was overjoyed when she saw Shang Shanke coming over so insistently, thinking that she had changed her mind, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door to greet her, Xiang Fanhua and Bao Jingshu were also confused by this change.
"Miss Shang, you can be regarded as here, if you are one step later, maybe we will all go out of the realm of Yang City, and there will be no way to find it if you want to,"
