Chapter 015: Stunning Beauty
"Auntie, what do you mean by this? Why don't you let me associate with Princess Changle? Brother ...... Don't seem to like me. ”
After Xie Ling left, Xie Hanyan returned to his Yunxi Pavilion with the Zhu family, and asked with some grievances.
Zhu Shi also wondered in his heart, he always felt that Xie Ling was deeply hostile to her when he returned this time, but where did this hostility come from? and her deliberate attempt to take away the hanging bead and free gold hairpin at the gift of the curtain, which seems to be very unusual.
No, the question is not this hostility, but how did she know that there were one hundred and ninety-six concubines in Leshanhou's family, and how did she know that Ah Yan had dealings with Princess Changle?
A flash of horror flashed in Zhu's eyes.
……
At this time, Xie Ling also put a hanging bead free gold hairpin inlaid with ruby on the table, and instructed Qiu Shi to take a candle to light it, and only put the pearl hairpin on one side to accept the temperature of the flame, and after a while, a strange fragrance emanated from the pearl hairpin.
Qiu Shi couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so fragrant!" Lang Jun, what kind of incense is this? ”
Xie Ling's expression quickly darkened, and she felt a chill in her heart, dropping this pearl hairpin from Zhu's hand, she was just suspicious, but she didn't think that there was really something poisonous in it.
"This is tonka, if it were sealed in this ruby, we would not be able to smell its fragrance, and now I have melted the wax on this bead with fire, and this fragrance will naturally come out."
"What is Tonka?" Qiu Shi asked.
A cold light shot out of Xie Ling's eyes.
"It's the same as musk, if you wear something dyed with this incense for a long time, it will ...... over time."
At this point, she paused again.
"What will happen?"
"Pregnant!" After a long pause, she slowly spat out these two words, and her heart shivered as if she had been immersed in an ice cellar.
So this is the reason why the eldest sister in the previous life was found to be infertile!
It turned out to be really Zhu's doing!
"What!"
Qiu Shi was so shocked that he couldn't help covering his mouth, and after a long while, he came to his senses and said, "Lang Jun, this pearl hairpin was dropped from the master's mother at the gift of the curtain, right?" The mistress turned out to be ...... There is actually this thing hidden in the hairpin of the eldest lady's line and the ceremony, why is she? ”
She also wondered why!
Everyone understands the truth of both glory and loss, what good is it for the eldest sister to end up in ruin? And the daughter of the Xie family will have her reputation damaged because of this.
Xie Ling remembered that after the death of Prince Zhaoming in his previous life, Emperor Wu of Liang resolutely gave up the emperor's eldest grandson Xiao Huan, and changed the third son of the emperor Xiao Gang to the crown prince.
In order to cater to the preferences of the crown prince Xiao Gang, the Zhu family did not hesitate to let Xie Hanyan take medicine, and raised Xie Hanyan into a delicate and ill Xi Shi appearance, but he did not expect that Emperor Wu finally personally ordered Wang Yunhua of the Langya Wang family to be the crown princess of the East Palace.
As for Xie Hanyan, he ended up with a lingering illness and collapsed to death.
"Lang Jun, the master mother usually looks gentle and charitable, but I never thought that she would do such a thing to the eldest lady, should we tell the head of the family and the old lady about this?"
"What if you tell your grandfather? This matter is detrimental to the reputation of my Xie family, my grandfather will never let it leak out, he will not do anything to the Zhu family, and Zhu Yi's father Zhu Yi is still a close minister of the Son of Heaven and has won the trust of His Majesty. ”
Zhu Yi was quite talented when he was young, and in his early years, he entered the official career because of the Shangshu Ling Shen Yue's fancie, and he was also very good at patting horses, and entered Shangshu Province at the age of forty, and was a full-time advisor to the emperor who advised the gains and losses, but unfortunately he did not advise the emperor on the gains and losses, but specifically in the ears of Emperor Liang.
If she remembers correctly, Zhu Yi's official position now should be that of a free rider and a doctor of the prince!
"What then? The matter of the eldest lady, Lang Jun doesn't care? ”
"Of course you can't ignore it." Xie Ling said and looked at Qiu Shi, "So, Qiu Shi, I need your help, I only trust you and Ling Ye now." ”
Qiu Shi's heart was sad, his eyes were a little moist, and he said secretly: Chunhua's betrayal must have hurt the girl's heart, otherwise how could she say that she only believed her and Ling Ye.
"Lang Jun, Qiu Shi will swear allegiance to Lang Jun to the death, no matter what Lang Jun commands, Qiu Shi will go to the soup and die without regrets."
Do you die without regret?
Unconsciously, Xie Ling remembered Liancheng again, and he didn't know where Liancheng was now?
She suddenly looked out the window, and watched the moonlight fall like frost, and a peach spilled out of the window lattice, shaking off a few petals in the wind.
"Go and call Midnight, I have something to tell you." She commanded.
"Yes."
Qiu Shi obeyed the order, and Xie Ling took out the Saebur paper from the case next to Hu's bed, spread it out on the table, picked up the pen and ink, and gently traced it on the paper.
Not long after, Qiu Shi took Ling Ye into the study, and saw that Xie Ling just put down the pen in his hand and rolled up the Saeki paper on the table.
"Lang Jun, it's here in the middle of the night."
"I've seen Lang Jun in the middle of the night."
Xie Ling then turned to look at Ling Ye: "I have three things that I need you to do. First, I need you to help me cultivate my henchmen, and the tribes and servants in the house are up to you to choose, I want you to train them, and those who pass will stay, and those who fail will let them go. ”
Second, if I expected it to be good, within three days, Leshan Hou Xiao Zhengze will invite me to a place to play, I need you to set a trap in that place, how to arrange it, I have written it in this bag, you can do it. ”
With that, he handed him a pouch.
"And what about the third thing?"
"The third thing ......" Xie Ling seemed to hesitate, pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "I need you to help me find someone." ”
"Who?"
Xie Ling also handed the piece of Saeki paper rolled up in his hand to Ling Ye, Ling Ye unfolded it, at first glance, his eyes couldn't help but glow with surprise and amazement, Qiu Shi on the side also curiously leaned over to look, and saw a lifelike painting on the paper, Xie Ling's painting skills they have all seen, but at this moment, what they marveled at was not Xie Ling's painting skills, but the person in this painting.
"Lang Jun, is the person in this painting real? Is there really such a magnificent person in the world? Qiu Shi and Ling Ye both asked in disbelief.
Xie Ling paused for a moment and replied in the affirmative:
"Of course it's true."
I still remember the first time I saw him, even she couldn't believe that there was such a beautiful man in this world, but he existed.
Not only did he exist, but he also caused a sensation in the entire Jiankang City when he first entered Jiankang, both men and women, competing to see him, and because of his incomparable appearance, even several princes of the Xiao family fought for it.
Male face is in trouble, but that's it.
Xie Ling couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and after laughing, he didn't feel sad, and his heart hurt as if it were burning.
It stands to reason that after she was gouged out by Chen Shuo in her previous life, she had no heart, but since she was reborn, there seems to be an extra layer of depression in her heart, and she can't escape or get rid of it.
Seeing that Xie Ling was silent for a long time, Ling Ye asked again, "Lang Jun, about the murderer who attacked us in Jinling, should Ling Ye go to report to the official?" ”
"It's useless to report to the official, as long as I'm here, that murderer will appear again sooner or later, you just need to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the people around me at all times!"
"Yes. Does Lang Jun have any other instructions? ”
"It's okay, you go down!"
"Yes."
Ling Ye answered yes and bowed down.
As soon as Ling Ye left, Xie Ling instructed Qiu Shi again: "You will have a good relationship with the people around my sister in the future, always keep an eye on the Zhu family's every move, and let me know if there is any news." I, the maid in the Dexin Courtyard, are all mobilized by you. ”
When he heard that all the maids in Dexin Courtyard were mobilized by her, Qiu Shi's heart suddenly jumped, and he was overjoyed, and he was flattered.
Lang Jun has handed over the stewardship of the first-class maid to her.
The tears in Qiu Shi's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly bent his knees and said, "Yes, Lang Jun." Qiu Shi must live up to Lang Jun's trust. After speaking, he seemed to think of something and asked, "By the way, Lang Jun, you just said that within three days, Leshan Hou will invite Lang Jun to play, how did Lang Jun know?" ”
Xie Ling looked at her and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that I can calculate?" ”
"Yes, yes, oops, how did I forget, Lang Jun learned astrology from Master Ge and can calculate the destiny of heaven, but ......"
"There will be a heavy rain in three days, and there will be thunder and lightning, and it will be very dangerous, if you follow me, you must obey my arrangements in everything, and you must not make any mistakes, do you remember?"
"Yes, Lang Jun. Autumn is in mind. ”
After speaking, I saw Xie Ling look out the window, looking at the deep twilight, the corners of his lips curved, and muttered to himself:
"In three days, I will definitely give Chen Shuo a big gift."
……
Dongfu City, since the Southern Dynasty, has been the place where the prime minister or the residence of Yangzhou Assassin is located.
And nowadays, if anyone mentions Dongfu City, people often think of the two bullies Xiao Zhengze and Xiao Zhengde.
Xiao Zhengze's Leshan Houfu was built in this city, and it is also a place of beauty near the Qinhuai River, the scenery is beautiful, rich and luxurious, and there is often silk and bamboo wind music from it, and the listeners are all intoxicated.
But at this time, there was no silk and bamboo wind music in the Leshan Houfu, only the crisp sound of porcelain smashing, and the trembling and begging for mercy of the servants.
"Tell me again, how many are there?"
Since Xiao Zhengze left the Qionglin Garden of the Xie Manor, he has been angry and angry, and when he returned to his mansion, he asked someone to count the concubines he plundered one by one.
When the old servant reported the number, Xiao Zhengze seemed to have been slapped hard, and his face was hot and painful, and he didn't believe it at all.
The old butler who was kneeling on the ground was already sweating, his lips trembled, and he trembled for a while before he replied: "There are one hundred and ninety-six concubines in the house, of which sixty-three are the daughters of the good family who were robbed by Hou Ye, counting the four that Hou Ye killed last night, a total of six...... Sixty-seven. ”
"Sixty-seven? Are you sure you're not counting wrong? ”
"Yes, no more, no less, exactly sixty-seven."
With a "pop", a one-foot-high coral branch fell to the ground and smashed into pieces, and all kinds of porcelain fell like a shower on the slave's head.
The old servant of the housekeeper was smashed to the point that his head was bleeding, and he begged for mercy again and again, but Xiao Zhengze was still not angry, and kicked him to the ground again, and stepped on him a few times.
"What did you just say? What is called being played to death by Ben Hou? ”
"No, no, it's the slave who said it wrong, the slave is cheap, those four girls are delicate and frail, they can't bear the wind and rain, and they are sick and dead."
The old servant hugged his head and begged for mercy, until he was so frightened that he longed to find a hole in the ground to get into.
At this time, another servant came in and reported: "Master Hou, someone outside the door sent a letter to Master Hou, saying that he asked Master Hou to open it in person." ”
