Chapter 12: Entering the Palace Late at Night
“.” I picked a dozen or so of them, and selected a small sword that was not gorgeous, but had a simple style and was full of huā patterns, "How much silver?" ”
"The silver is easy to say, but the girl is really good-looking, this sword is made of bronze, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If it weren't for the young lady's fancy, it should be in the hands of a hermit and not seen by outsiders. "There are words in the words, but the spring breeze is blowing.
"Don't brag, can you have such a serious antiquity in this small shop? It's just putting on a show. But since it bothered you for so long a day, it was not good that you couldn't even do a single business. Only this time, and the next time, but never again. The answer was sound, but his face was full of disdain.
Everyone, we all know each other.
But right here, there was a bang from upstairs, as if something heavy had fallen. But it seems to fall on the heart of the spring.
"Rats?" She raised an eyebrow, her voice slightly tense.
Jinyi's face stiffened, and then he smiled and said, "The shop is very clean, and there are no rats." But above is a warehouse with piles of goods and sundries, and it is also where I live, it is really messy, maybe something has fallen, Miss wait a minute, I will go and see. ”
Chun Tu Yu took a sip of tea from the teacup, nodded, and his hand was so steady that he didn't move.
Jinyi left, but soon turned back, holding a foot-long wooden box in his hand, "The goods are piled up in a mess, and sure enough, something has fallen." I think it's because of the fate of the lady.,I think you might like this thing.。 Otherwise, Miss, take a look? As he spoke, he handed over the box.
Xiaofeng took it and opened it in front of Chun Tu.
Ordinary box, the red lining inside is a little dirty. And on the cloth, there was a twisted mass of stuff, and I don't know what material it was. If it is not a unique purple and cyan color, there is a huā pattern on it that looks like a word is not a word, which looks like scrap copper and rotten iron.
The color is very beautiful, at first glance it is dark and heavy, but when you look closely, it seems to have a hidden brilliance, and the face of the brocade clothes is blue, only the spring tutu who is familiar with him knows how reluctant he is to take this thing out and show it to her. And when he was blocked, his eyes drifted to the front of Chun Tu in place, meaning: Don't ask for it! Don't ask for it! Please don't ask for this!
"Yes." Chun Tu smiled evilly, "You make a price, right?" "Basically, she's not a person who loves people and gets angry, except for Jinyi. He treats her as if he were a pest, so she has to look at her as a pest.
"Miss has a unique vision, two or two." Jin Yi gritted his back teeth and smiled.
Chun Tu didn't pay attention to it at all, and asked again, "What about the little sword you picked just now?" ”
“.”
Chun Tu waved his finger, and Xiao Feng immediately counted out seven taels of silver from the small bag he was carrying. The small bag was drawn by Chun Tu and made with a needle and a thread, in fact, it was a modern slanted shoulder bag, which was divided into several areas, with broken silver, copper coins, sachets and handkerchiefs, as well as a small bamboo tube of water.
Jinyi's gaze turned to the cloth bag, and then the cashier delivered it. When Chun Tu Yu took the box from his hand, he obviously felt that he refused to let go for a moment, that one was reluctant, and that one was painful. And when Chun Tu finally got the box, looking at the brocade clothes again, it was like digging into his heart.
Whew, it feels so good, it's so good.
"I hope you are honest in business, this is Chang'an, not elsewhere." Chun Tu Yu stood up and "kindly" instructed that "things are good, but the price is not real, I will never come back a second time." "Remind him first, and then give him a reassuring pill.
She knew that Yaksha was upstairs, whether it was from the analysis of the change in attitude before and after the brocade clothes, or the feeling in her heart, she knew that he was there. It's just that he doesn't show up, or he doesn't want to see each other, or it's inconvenient to see each other, and she shouldn't be stalked. What does it mean to just send a bunch of scrap iron? Farewell, or another deep meaning.
But obviously, in any case, it would be unwise to come to this small shop again. So a lot of the words were for Jinyi, but also for Yaksha.
Walking out of the small shop, Chun Tuyu took Xiaofeng, and bought a few metal whistles, a few small bamboo bows, and a few small arrows on the street, and then walked back. couldn't help it, when passing by Ye Ji, she pretended to look at the window on the second floor unintentionally.
There was no one, but she felt two gazes, intensely fixed on her, like two flames lit on her thin shoulders, and she immediately ran away.
When she got home, she showed her grandfather the beautiful little sword, and the whistle was given to Da Meng, Yidao, Guo'er, and Xiaofeng, and she went back to the house to rest under the pretext that she was tired. I lay in bed and tossed and turned all day, and even two meals were brought to the house to eat. Chun Qingyang thought that she had been tossing for so many days, and she was finally tired, and she didn't care, only she knew that she was guarding the box, for fear that as soon as she left people, she would be turned over by some secret agent.
In fact, no one will doubt that she has bought too many useless things for so many days, and she has already laid out the smoke. But she always felt that it had a deep meaning, and it was difficult to be reliable if she didn't study it carefully. It was only in the dead of night that she turned the box out, took out its contents, and put it under the lamp to look at it carefully.
The metal rod the thickness of the man's thumb is slightly curved, and one section after another seems to be messy, but it is connected. When it was straightened, the sound of a click could be heard, and when the whole thing was connected, it turned out to be a bow and arrow. Those huā patterns are meaningless when viewed alone, but if they are viewed together, they are mantras composed of special characters, just like the Tang Army soldiers' uniforms or embroidered on their foreheads. In the middle of the bow, there is a green gem inlaid with a black wheel, like a wolf's eye. The bowstring is silvery-white, of unknown material, and full of toughness. On the body of the bow is a small arrow with an iron ring, and the arrow is carved with a wolf's head, and the two barbs next to it are like wolf teeth.
At last, she understood why Jinyi was reluctant to give her this foldable bow and arrow, because it must be a treasure. Although it seems inconspicuous, except for the emerald, there is no other decoration, but when you hold it in your hand, you can inexplicably feel the sense of heaviness and dignity. It's so small, no more than half a foot long, but it's not a toy, it's a totem!
Two taels of silver? It's just a price that is not open for fear of attracting attention. I'm afraid, it's priceless.
But why, the arrow was locked on the bow and couldn't be taken down? What do you mean? What does it mean that Yaksha gave this to her? A token of love? Ahh
Chun Tu shook her head suddenly, and then thought again...... Is there some secret for her to keep? But then again, why did he trust her so much. Is it animal instinct, or is it human intuition?
Chun Tu Yu is cranky, trying not to fall asleep. She had a bit of an extravagant hope, thinking that Yaksha might come to see her in the middle of the night, as he had done a few times before. But she was disappointed, and she waited until daylight, and Yaksha didn't show up. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling that she was being amorous, and this kind of gain and loss was really the most important emotion.
It took a lot of effort to unpack and shuffle the particular bow and arrow, and put the box into the box where he had the important things in it, next to the envelope with the name of the Yaksha on it. After that, I ran to the yard and did a set of radio gymnastics, washed my chaotic emotions with the fresh air of the morning, and then went back to sleep.
She was so tired that she soon fell asleep, and she only got up three strokes in the morning. Chun Qingyang felt sorry for her, and didn't tell her to get up. After a whole day of idleness, seeing that he was going to sleep again, Kang Zhengyuan came to visit. Dressed in civilian clothes, he only brought two entourage, and he didn't even vote for his name.
This is too sudden, how can a man come to someone else's girl in the middle of the night? However, the whole family knew that this Kang Da Da acted the most upright, so they didn't think about it crookedly, but they just said that there was an emergency.
"The emperor will announce that you will enter the palace and reply." Kang Zhengyuan is colorful.
Chun Tu was stunned, and forgot that he should kneel when he listened to the oral commandment. But entering the palace late at night? Is it necessary to be so mysterious? Fortunately, Kang Zhengyuan did not announce the decree in front of Chun Qingyang, and gave her a chance to talk to her grandfather slowly, so as not to scare the old man.
"I think it's because of the lawsuit, and it's not convenient for outsiders to know." Chun Tu Yu comforted her grandfather, "It's about asking about the whole incident, after all, I have been involved from beginning to end, and when the time comes, the truthful answer is, grandfather don't worry." ”
"However, you haven't entered the palace, you don't know the rules and etiquette, what if you don't pay attention and collide with the emperor or any nobleman?" Chun Qingyang was not at ease, he only felt that his peaceful days were gone since his granddaughter became a teacher.
"Isn't it for Master Kang, he will take care of me." Chun Tu persuaded him, but in fact, his heart was a little fluttering. No matter how bold she was, she was also very nervous to meet the main owner of the Jinluan Palace. In modern times, I have seen a lot of knowledge, and I have not seen it at the level of a national leader.
Chun Qingyang knew that he couldn't resist the order, and he couldn't worry about it, so he had to ask Kang Zhengyuan repeatedly. Here, Chun Tu is surrounded by two girls, grooming and dressing. According to her meaning, she combed a simple and generous single screw bun, only a pearl head huā, a primrose-colored full-breasted skirt of appropriate shades, apricot half-arms and thread shoes, and the shawl and chest streamers were extremely light pink.
She deliberately chose the color to be more girly, with her slightly immature face, in case the Ninety-Five Supreme has a killing chance, she should see that she is still a little girl, and she is about to die, is he embarrassed to be destroyed by the black hand?
Although everything was simple, she still cleaned up for half an hour, until she checked repeatedly and confirmed that everything was in order, and then she followed Kang Zhengyuan into the carriage parked outside the official post. Before getting into the carriage, she also paid special attention to it, and saw that there was not even half a figure inside and outside the official post. And usually, I just take care of the noise here, but it is not quiet to this extent, it is obviously artificially arranged. She didn't lift the curtain and look out, though. When it matters, she is very good at restraining her curiosity and never making reckless moves.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Kang Zhengyuan felt that she was a little nervous, and said in a low voice, "The emperor just wants to hear you talk about the case of the fake emperor, not only have I asked you, but those who know have secretly summoned you, and you are the last one." ”
Chun Tu nodded and didn't ask much.
In the quiet night, the sound of cars drove all the way to the palace.
