Chapter 621: Gifting the Monarch and Shaking Steps
Politely thanked Sun Chaoli, and then said a few more words to him, Chen Ying made his own words, Sun Chaoli also had an errand, and soon stepped into the rain again.
Seeing him go away, Chen Ying also came with his own umbrella, accompanied by a small eunuch, and walked back unhurriedly.
When the line is not long, there is a portal in front of you, connecting the imperial study and the outer sandwich road, at this time there is no one to live, only the heavy rain is pouring down, and the water droplets under the low eaves are in strings, splashing on the flat brick ground, and countless splashes are flying.
Chen Ying stood under the low eaves and opened the note to take a closer look.
The letter was indeed written by Pei Shu himself, and only a few words were written on it:
"I haven't seen it for many days, I miss it very much, and I have newly purchased a box of gold steps, and the old man outside the palace gate will transfer it on my behalf."
The inscription is Pei Shu's word, Yu Zhi.
It turned out to be a gift of jewelry.
Chen Ying smiled lightly, put the letter on his sleeve, and felt a little doubt in his heart.
Didn't Pei Shumo take Jin Buyan with him? Otherwise, how could you still take things out in such a chance situation?
One wall pondered, and the other wall walked out of the palace, until she saw her own carriage, and then she woke up.
It seems that Pei Shu should have seen the Chen family's carriage and horses before entering the palace, and he knew Zheng Shou again, so he was sure that Chen Ying was in the palace. That box of Jin Bu Shao must have been ordered to Lang Tingyu to go back to the house to get it temporarily.
Sure enough, as soon as she appeared, a person rushed in the distance, that sturdy and short figure, not Lang Tingyu, which one?
"Miss Chen, you can figure it out, your subordinates have been waiting for you for a long time." Lang Tingyu's rough voice seemed to pop out of thin air, and it was almost covered by the wind and rain.
Chen Ying smiled at him: "Because I have a lot of things to say, I stayed for a while." There is General Laurang who has been waiting for a long time. ”
Lang Tingyu hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Don't dare", in the stubby palm, he was holding a gold box painted with vermilion lacquer.
"Ahh He seemed to have just realized that there was something in his hand, and hurriedly sent the box forward, with a smile on his face: "What's that...... This is what our master called you, saying that it is Jin Bu Shao, you open it and take a look. ”
He scratched his head, and his big eyes turned twice along the round sockets.
Chen Ying's heart moved slightly.
This box is shaking, isn't it weird?
The detective took the box, and she didn't go forward, just outside the palace gate, in front of the guards on duty, opened the box and looked at it.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, the golden treasure light rushed straight up, reflecting her whole face a little brighter, but it was two phoenix heads with golden steps, inlaid with treasure inlaid beads, very gorgeous.
Although those guards didn't move, their eyes were hooked, and a few of them were still squeezing their eyes with Lang Tingyu.
Pei Shu and Chen Ying are fiancés, everyone knows that these guards often deal with Wei Yuanhou, and they have a good relationship with He and Lang, and they can be regarded as acquaintances. At this time, seeing that the little marquis was actually giving jewelry to his fiancée, and he was so generous, the guards wanted to see the excitement, if it wasn't for the legitimate errand, they were afraid that they would be able to coax.
Lang Tingyu strode over, his bear-like figure was horizontal, blocking the sight of these people, and waved his hand backwards like a fly: "Go, go, go, look at it, I don't know how to stand in on a rainy day." ”
After a few words, Chen Ying had closed the lid of the box, thanked him, and Lang Tingyu said flatteringly: "The subordinates sent Miss Chen back to the car, our master said, you can't let the girl be drenched in a drop of rain, otherwise, the subordinates will be beaten again." ”
He said this with a bitter face, how could those guards hold on, and the suffocated laughter of "snort, smack" came and went.
At this time, Lang Tingyu turned his back to everyone, crooked his mouth, squinted his eyes, and twisted his eyebrows at Chen Ying, hating to move his facial features, the meaning could not be more obvious.
Chen Ying had already understood, so he smiled cooperatively: "General Lang has worked hard, then you can send me to the car." ”
Lang Tingyu answered loudly, really guarded Chen Ying's side, and under the gaze of the guards who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he sent her straight to the carriage, bowed and resigned.
The guards looked at it in their eyes, and they couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
Once this man became a family, he was really like the wild horse with a halter, and he was like a half savage like the little marquis, and now he was as docile as a little sheep, and he almost had a tail and waged it behind him.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion and deep surprise.
Chen Ying didn't care about their thoughts, so she got into the car and ordered Zheng Shou to set off.
The sound of hooves, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, is vague and distant, and in the half-open window cracks, sometimes a few rain stars drift in.
Zhishi poured a cup of hot tea for Chen Ying, and said in a low voice: "The maids were originally guarding outside, but General Houlang came, saying that the little marquis wanted to bring some important news to the girl, and the maidservants all returned to the car. ”
She said it simply, but Chen Ying understood that Pei Shu's move was intended to be suspicious.
This suspicion refers to Emperor Yuan Jia.
There are too many things happening today, even if Pei Shu has never seen it in person, with his understanding of Emperor Yuan Jia, he knows that this is a sensitive period, and it is really not suitable to pass on the news.
It's just that he has almost cut off the news from Chen Ying recently, this is the only opportunity, if he doesn't seize it, I'm afraid that Chen Ying will be in a hurry first.
Holding hot tea and sitting on the brocade cushion, Chen Ying put the vermilion lacquer box on his lap, opened the lid of the box with one hand, and handed over the golden step to Xunzhen to collect, and then carefully lifted the big red flannel.
A squarely folded stack of paper was hidden under the cloth.
Chen Ying's heart warmed, and she stroked the page, her eyebrows and eyes became gentle.
It's a feeling I haven't seen in a long time. Do the math, not only has she not seen Pei Shu for a long time, but she has not received this information for a long time.
The reason for this is that both of them are too busy.
Because the wedding date has been set, the auspicious day will be chosen in February of the following year, so the etiquette such as Wending and Nacai should be walked. Although Pei Shu entered Chen's Mansion several times, due to the etiquette system, he did not have a chance to meet Chen Ying.
In addition, the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion also needs to be rearranged, although the two of them will return to Ningxia after marriage, but in the first half of the wedding year, they still need to live in the capital, so the renovation of the new house should not be delayed.
On the other hand, Pei Shu has a heavy official business, and Emperor Yuan Jia often orders him to be the prelude, and he also has to help Chen Ying check the news of the Fenggu Society, and the news from Shandong is also summarized by him first, and he is really busy.
Chen Ying's room is not very empty.
Li is very taboo about his private meetings, often detains Chen Ying at home, does not allow her to go out, and sorting out the dowry is also very time-consuming, Chen Ying himself also needs to remotely command the medical hall, girls' school, orchard and other places, there is really no leisure.
Therefore, since the last time they went to the horse monkey for questioning, until today, they have only met once in the imperial study, but they only met in a hurry, and then parted again.
Fortunately, although people have not arrived, faith has come first.
Chen Ying's eyes were slightly curved, and a light smile appeared on her cheeks.
