Chapter 305: Let's talk about gossip
Since leaving Kyoto, there has been a correspondence between Chu Peijin and Jing Yan almost every three days, and because of Ouyang Jinglan's existence, there are also letters from Mrs. Ouyang from time to time, as well as letters from Lin Yan and Xue Jiaqi.
And reading these letters has become Chu Peijin's favorite thing to do in his leisure time recently!
In her previous life, communication was developed, and no one had written such an ancient and leisurely paper letter, so when she received a three-page letter written by Jing Yan for the first time, she felt inexplicably novel and excited!
Jing Yan's letter is full of lovesickness, and Chu Peijin's heart is sweet and warm! In addition, he also probably wrote about some big and small things that happened in Kyoto, which also made Chu Peijin look at it with relish!
For example, in the past few months since she left, the main concubine and the side concubine in King Kang's mansion have made trouble many times because of the competition for favor; Another example is that Jia Changzai in the palace heard that he was sick, and he was almost dying, and the Jia family is now much worse than before.
Lin Yan writes more about the latest gossip about the various prefectures in Kyoto, which also looks quite interesting.
On the contrary, what Xue Jiaqi's letter talked about the most was the things in the small handicraft workshop, and it seemed that everything was still very smooth.
Chu Peijin looked at it carefully with a smile on her face, and then wrote a letter back from the table next to her, until Nian Bing came in and reminded her that it was enough time to soak her feet, and she remembered that her feet were still in the barrel.
Nian Bing carefully wiped the water beads on her feet for her, and then carefully applied the medicine for her, and bandaged it with a fine white cotton cloth, and then said with some distress: "Girl, your feet are not suitable for walking long distances at all, otherwise, let's rest here for two days before going?" β
Chu Peijin put down the wolf pen and thanked Nian Bing first, and then said: "I don't feel any special pain when I walk today, and I think I need to hone for a while." If I stop to rest tomorrow, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of bed for three or five days, so I might as well continue to look for it, in case I find some clues? β
Nian Bing couldn't help but feel a little headache when she heard Chu Peijin say the word 'what if'!
During this period of time, Chu Peijin really didn't let go of every corner of Yunxi City! Every time people say that there is no one living in a certain place and there is no need to check it, she always says, what if there is a clue there?
Speaking of which, Nian Bing really admired Chu Peijin's endurance and perseverance. Although they are not much worse than Kyoto in terms of food on weekdays, just walking to find people, Chu Peijin has already left most of the girls in Xishao far behind!
sighed softly, Nian Bing no longer persuaded her, and when she took out the medicine barrel and came back to sit next to her to pinch Chu Peijin's legs, Nian Bingfu said again: "The girl is done, please lie down, and the slave will help you massage the acupuncture points." β
Chu Peijin glanced at Nian Bing with some apologies and said, "Thank you!" Wait until I'm done writing this letter. β
"Okay."
Chu Peijin turned his head again and wrote the last letter quickly. She put the envelope on the table, then turned around and leaned comfortably on the big pillow on the soft couch, and said, "Miss Lin's letter said something interesting, do you want to listen to it?" β
At this moment, Nian Xue came in, and without waiting for Nian Bing to respond, she asked first, "Girl, what did Miss Lin say?" β
Chu Peijin said with a smile: "Do you know the pair of eldest twin sisters in the Mansion of the Great General of Zhenguo? β
Nian Xue said: "Of course I know! There are not many twins in the families of the nobles in Kyoto, so when the topic of twins is mentioned, everyone will inevitably think of the two Murong girls in the mansion of the great general of Zhenguo! β
"Yes, the slave maid heard that their sisters have always been inseparable, could it be that something strange happened?" Nian Bing was also a little curious.
Speaking of twins, the subordinates of His Royal Highness the Four Princes are only Nian Xue Nianqiu, Nian Xia and Nian Bing. And the situation of their two families is also very similar, they both have many sisters in the family, and then they were sold by their parents because they couldn't afford to support them.
If they hadn't been bought by the four princes back then, they didn't know where they would be now, let alone what kind of ordeal they would suffer!
It is precisely because of this that they are extremely envious when they mention Miss Murong in their hearts.
are also twins, because the families of the nurses are different, but their lives are 108,000 miles apart!
Chu Peijin squinted slightly, put her arm behind her head, and said, "Miss Lin said in the letter that the two Murong girls fell in love with the same person at the same time, and then they made a lot of trouble, so that General Zhenguo finally agreed to book them together. You say, "Isn't it amazing?" β
"What?" Nian Xue was a little surprised, she asked a little eagerly: "Girl, whose son's luck is so good?" β
"Speaking of which, you will not be strangers, that lucky person is Jiang Huaien, the prince of South Korea."
"Is that him?"
Nian Xue was stunned for a moment, then showed a relieved expression again, and said: "If it is the prince of Korea, it is a good family matter!" β
Chu Peijin opened her eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at her, and said, "Why do you say that?" β
She didn't go out much in Kyoto, and she had never met the Korean prince on one of the few occasions she had to go to banquets, so she didn't know anything about what he looked like!
Nian Xue said: "The slave is fortunate to have seen it once or twice. The prince of South Korea likes to go out often, but he is not dull. On the contrary, he has a dignified appearance, handsome facial features, is rich and rich, and treats people modestly and politely, he is really a rare young talent! β
"Is it that good? The strange general of the town is willing to marry his two daughters to him! Chu Peijin nodded slightly.
Nian Xue smiled: "It's not! When I heard that the prince of Korea had appeared at the palace banquet when he was eleven or twelve years old, it attracted many noble ladies with delicate women and inquired around. Because of this, the prince of Korea was not annoyed, and then he refused to go out to the banquet again! β
Chu Peijin remembered the pair of sisters she had seen in the Xia Mansion after she had just crossed over, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. However, she knew that her thoughts were a little different from those of others here, not to mention, if the two sisters were happy, it was none of the business, so she laughed twice and stopped mentioning it.
Nian Xue still has some unfinished business.
"Girl, is there anything else interesting?"
On weekdays, in addition to following the girl out to find clues about their relatives, what they heard most were only some trivial things that happened in the city of western Yunnan, which did not have much attraction to them, and it was for this reason that letters from Kyoto became the only way for them to understand their hometown.
"What's so interestingβ" Chu Peijin stared at the azure tent on the top of the bed, and couldn't help but think of some other things that Lin Yan had written.
I heard that the lady in Wu'an Hou's mansion fell ill for some reason, and later learned that the hard-won son under Wu'an Hou's knee was stolen, and everyone couldn't find it.
I also heard that Xia was suspected by Wu Anhou of doing something to that son, so he was driven back to his parents' house......
After saying this to Nian Xue, she unconsciously remembered the beautiful and cute child who was held in his arms when Wu Anhou came back......
