Chapter 268: Ebony Ring
"After Yun Yi went, Ru'er was a night terror, but now he slept until dawn, obviously extremely tired, besides, he occasionally had bruises on his arms and knees, I also played elementary school kung fu, how could I not know what this trace meant?"
One day, Ru'er kicked the quilt while he was sleeping, Song Ling saw a bruise on his knees when he covered the quilt for him, if he fell carelessly or climbed high and injured himself on weekdays, etc., Mother Jin was shouting loudly, how could Song Ling not know.
Song Ling remembered that Ru'er seemed to have lived in the palace for half a year, and had developed the habit of not letting Mother Jin serve and bathe.
After thinking about it, he did some investigation in private, and knew that it was the water chestnut who was secretly teaching Confucian martial arts.
Occasionally, he would take the time to look at Ru'er, rubbing his little arms and legs while he was asleep, and gradually noticed that the child's body was much stronger. You must know that practicing martial arts is very hard, but this kid secretly hides this secret, which shows that he is a person with a firm heart.
"It seems that you don't object to him practicing martial arts, I don't know why Ru'er wants me to hide it from you?" When the water chestnut heard what Song Ling said, he was not displeased at all, and he was even more puzzled.
"Barbarian is a girl's family, and she learns martial arts so happily, why should I stop Ru'er? I think it's because he has been upset when he sees me lately, and he doesn't want me to worry too much, so he hides it. When he wants to say it himself, just tell me. Song Ling explained to the water chestnut.
The water chestnut nodded, and the sunset gilded her with a layer of golden light, making her look like she would melt into the sunset at any time, adding a little bit of fragility and beauty.
"The small kitchen stewed a cup of tonic for Ru'er today, and I was going to wait for him to come back to drink, since that's the case, then you can help me bring it to him." Seeing that the water chestnut seemed to be a little cold with its arms on its chest, and knowing that the water chestnut was resolute and would never accept her cloak, Song Ling stood quietly at the tuyere and blocked the wind for her.
The water chestnut didn't notice it, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but ripple out two laughing arcs, and said, "Then do I have a reward for this errand runner?" ”
She came to the Song Mansion when she beat Song Zhi when she was still in the boudoir, and now she has been rough and rough for many years, and seeing the barbarians and Confucian children running all over the ground one by one, you know that this time is in a hurry and no one is left.
In the past few days, the water chestnut has also changed slightly, she eats well and dresses well beside Song Zhi, her skin is delicate, her eyes are bright, she has faded away from her childishness, and she shows a bit of slenderness.
But because she controlled herself and never lost her kung fu, she looked different from other women at a glance. If other women were like willows, she would be like the ginkgo, with soft branches and leaves, but a straight and straight trunk.
Song Ling also laughed when she heard this, and said, "I remember that you often used the cotton and satin that you had rewarded by your children to exchange ear cakes with Mother Zhao, and often asked you to make butterfly cakes with rosin." Ru'er and I both like these two kinds of dim sum, so the kitchenette has always been prepared, so let's bring some to you. ”
Seeing that he remembered his preferences so clearly, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but she twisted herself again, as if to cut off the warm current in her heart.
Song Ling walked a few steps, and saw that the water chestnut was pinching his tiger mouth and was stunned in place, so he turned around and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The water chestnut suddenly came back to his senses, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and said in a panic: "I, I suddenly remembered something, I have to leave immediately!" ”
"What......
Before Song Ling could finish a sentence, she saw the water chestnut leave in a hurry, remembering that there was a terrifying beast chasing her behind her.
Song Ling stood in place, and when he saw a purse fall from the place where the water chestnut was standing, he bent down and picked it up.
He didn't plan to peek into the contents of the water chestnut purse, but his fingertips touched a round hollow hard object, like a ring carved with bamboo leaf patterns, and a conjecture could not help but emerge in his heart. He quickly untied his purse, and a familiar ebony ring fell into Song Ling's palm.
This is a ring that Song Ling carved for herself when she was young, it is not very expensive, just to wear it for fun. Later, I couldn't find it inexplicably, and I didn't bother to find it.
Now that I think about it seriously, it should have been lost during the time when Shen Qianshen injured himself with a needle and was recuperating in the palace.
It turned out that she had found it. Song Ling looked at the ring in her palm in a daze, and only felt that her heart stopped beating a few beats.
Suddenly, he quickly put the ring back into his purse, and then put it back in place. He cautiously hid behind the stone wall, and only quietly looked at the courtyard through the hollow window on the stone wall.
After a while, the water chestnut went and returned, her originally nervous look relaxed the moment she saw the purse, she opened the purse to confirm that the ring was unharmed, then carefully tied the purse back to her waist, and tugged, and left after repeated confirmation.
Song Ling saw her leaving, turned his back and leaned against the stone wall, frowning deeply, but even he didn't realize it, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
………
The news that Song Tian was named a noble concubine reached the northern kingdom earlier than Song Ling's letters.
At the dinner that day, the fifth princess got the news, and heard the people from the place where Song Zhi was staying.
Thinking of this incident at this banquet, he raised his glass to congratulate Song Zhi, and was taken aback by the cold eyes of Lan Yue flying over, and then remembered that this was in the northern country, not in the Su Dynasty, and he didn't need to show weakness in front of Song Zhi, so he stiffened up and wanted to continue, but when he saw that the impostor and Shen Baiyan were talking very happily, he inevitably had a few scruples in his heart, so he didn't dare to speak.
Jiu Cang has been observing her mother's expression, she has been living by her mother's side these days, she knows all the news that the five princesses know, seeing that the five princesses have gone from gloating to despondent, Jiu Cang can also guess the thoughts of the five princesses.
She thought for a moment, got up and looked at Song Zhi with a wine glass, pulled out a hypocritical smirk, and said, "I heard that the princess regent's sister has won the position of concubine, so I should really congratulate her." ”
As soon as Jiu Cang spoke, everyone present looked at her, and the impostor restrained his smile and looked at his daughter silently, making the fifth princess feel frightened when she looked at it.
Song Zhi saw that she was as old as a barbarian, but she was firmly wearing a face that was extremely hypocritical, she felt very ridiculous, but she also felt a little sympathy, she smiled indifferently, and raised her wine glass to salute back.
Seeing that Song Zhi was so indifferent, not sad or happy, but Jiu Cang felt so boring, she pursed her lips, and only asked the palace maid to pour fruit wine for her to drink.
No matter how well he disguised it, Song Zhi knew in his heart how uncomfortable he was, and his appetite was naturally not much better if he was in a bad mood, so he only ate some of it when the palace maid who served took a lot of effort to cut off the venison piece by piece.
Shen Baiyan glanced at her sideways, and saw that she was eating venison carefully, and used a small bowl of snow arc velvet soup, so he was a little relieved.
The one sitting on the right side of the impostor is naturally the fifth princess, but the left hand is a very gorgeous northern woman, she is taller than ordinary Su Dynasty men, with long eyebrows and slender flying, high nose and deep eyes, eyes dyed green, and extremely thin lip flaps, when she laughs, the lip flap seems to disappear, and it is not very beautiful. So she always covered her mouth and smiled, looking very shy.
Song Zhi had heard Shen Baiyan mention before he came that this woman was the most favored concubine of the impostor, called Buck Ear. The northern kingdom is different from the Su Dynasty, the position of the queen of the Su Dynasty can be called one person under ten thousand people, and the word queen is just a name. If the impostor is happy, buckwheat can also be the queen, and a certain concubine can also be the queen.
In front of Shen Baiyan and his party, he said that Buckwheat Er was a concubine, just to give Su Chao a few thin noodles.
After three rounds of drinking, Buck Ear whispered a few words in the ear of the impostor, only to see that after the impostor nodded, the Buck Ear came over with a thousand manners, leaned over and smiled at Song Zhi: "Princess, I'm a little drunk, would you like to go out for a walk with me?" ”
Song Zhi subconsciously glanced at Shen Baiyan, and then heard a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I promise that I will bring you back a single hair." ”
The fifth princess looked at the back of Song Zhi and Buck Ear leaving, and held a breath of depression in her chest, thinking that she could take advantage of the Su Dynasty to come and suppress Buck Ear, but she didn't expect this woman to be so cheeky and surrender herself to please Song Zhi, she is really an uncivilized barbarian!
In fact, if the fifth princess had a clear-headed mind, she would not have regarded her identity so highly, not confined to the monarch and ministers, but to see clearly, who is more capable, and she would not think like this.
"Concubine Niangniang." As soon as Song Zhi spoke, he saw Buck Ear covering his mouth and smiled: "Don't call me Concubine Niangniang, call me Buck Ear." ”
"Buck ear?" Song Zhi repeated it suspiciously, but listened to the crisp response of the buckwheat ear.
At this time, it seemed hypocritical to change his words, so he had to smile and say to Buck Ear: "So, is there anything wrong with me?" ”
"The prince came to find the impostor for business." Buck Ear's eyes narrowed, looking like a green-eyed fox, "And I came to the princess for business." Business between our women. ”
Song Zhi saw Buck Er's gaze roaming around him, and said, "Don't you want to do the silk business?" I'm afraid that the weather in the north is rarely clothed. ”
Buck Er nodded and said: "Silk and us, we can only make belly pockets and underwear, it is really unnecessary to be too expensive, beautiful and expensive, but I see that the jewelry and treasures of the Su Dynasty are quite exquisite." When the fifth princess first arrived, the jewelry on her body was simply blinding. ”
But after getting along for a long time, I know that the most valuable jewelry has been worn out in those days.
This sentence was held down and did not speak.
When Song Zhi heard this, he understood the mind of this buckwheat ear, only afraid that the jewelry was fake and the treasures were real.
