Chapter 75: The most disdainful is lovesickness
"Jun ...... Your Majesty? β
Looking at his sudden face, Chang Lin Jun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "If you want to see the eldest princess, then ......"
"Nope." Lowering her eyes, Jiang Xuanjin said coldly, "I saw what she did." β
What's your reaction? Chang Lin Jun was very flustered, and the person who still looked at ease just now turned gloomy in an instant, if it weren't for the eldest princess, could it be that he couldn't greet him well?
Looking left and right, Changlin Jun whispered: "Ziyang Jun, I am in the land of Changlin, you don't know, there are many taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and it is really not rich, if you are lazy, please understand." β
"Changlin Jun is serious." Jiang Xuanjin arched his hand, "Along the way, everywhere I saw Changlin, the people were simple and the people lived in peace. β
"That's the old man holding up to the sky, and the sky hasn't fallen on their heads." Changlin Jun sighed, "Your Majesty since the pro-government, the fiefdom supervision and tax collection have become more and more stringent, the salt tax has been mentioned to thirty percent of the pump, a few days ago the envoy came to inspect, and said that my Changlin land is tasteless, ho...... If salt is cheap, who likes a light taste? β
Jiang Xuanjin listened and pulled the corners of his mouth.
Fiefdom tax collection is a common thing, if he hadn't invited him to Ziyang to discuss matters last time, and made it clear that he wanted to protect Danyang and resist Kyoto, this person would definitely not say this to him today.
The monarchs who were drinking and chatting down also glanced at him. Jiang Xuanjin knew very well in his heart that as soon as he came today, he would definitely be pushed up by them as a shield against the emperor, but he still came.
The unprofitable are balanced, the beneficial are avoided, and he looks like a fool again at this birthday banquet.
With a low chuckle, Jiang Xuanjin met Chang Lin Jun's eager gaze and said what he wanted to hear the most: "Since there are too many taxes, why don't you discuss with other monarchs and play the emperor?" β
As soon as these words came out, the inner hall of the birthday banquet, which had just been noisy, suddenly became serious.
"I have lived in the fiefdom for many years, and I don't know the situation in Kyoto, nor do I know the emperor's thoughts." Pinglingjun whispered, "How should this play be played, and please ask Ziyang Jun for guidance." β
"Yes, I heard that there is a great chaos in the DPRK and China now, and some time ago, His Majesty also sent dozens of ministers to prison." Guangpingjun shook his head, "In case this memorabilia is not written, the tax reduction will not be successful, but it will affect the people everywhere." β
Speaking of which, I just want Jiang Xuanjin to take the lead, which is conducive to everyone's share, and he will bear it if there is something.
sat in the banquet and watched, only to feel that the monarch in front of him seemed to be different from the one in front of His Highness.
In front of His Royal Highness, his seriousness seemed to be pretending, and there was always a little childish light in his dark eyes. But now, standing in the midst of so many feudal monarchs, his chin was raised lightly, as if he was smiling, still the handsome face, but it was a completely different momentum, as if no one could break his heart defense, and he couldn't detect his thoughts.
"It's not hard to write a recital." Jiang Xuanjin said, "If you have any demands, you may wish to inform this gentleman, and this gentleman will sort them out one by one and submit them to the emperor." β
So generous? Chang Linjun and the others glanced at each other, and they were all a little happy in their hearts. It is rumored that Ziyangjun is so deceiving, it turns out to be true, this set is accurate.
With him as the first bird, they will not be polite, and they will say how much tax they want to cut, and some words will be shocked.
Jiang Xuanjin asked Chengxu to remember it, and did not refute it at all.
"What about the Land of the Purple Sun?" He asked, "Didn't have anything to say?" β
He returned to his senses and sneered: "Just ask Your Majesty to say goodbye." β
Danyang's taxes have never returned to the treasury, and have always been in the pocket of the eldest princess. What's more, His Majesty has gone down to the sea to catch documents, obviously not recognizing the eldest princess as the lord of Danyang, what to say to him?
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at him and said to Chang Lin Jun: "This gentleman and this assassin are also old friends, take two steps to say a few words, can Chang Lin Jun mind?" β
Thinking about the tax cut, Chang Linjun was smiling happily, where would he mind anything? Immediately waved his hand: "Your Excellency, please." β
Just Wu frowned, he had never had a good impression of Ziyangjun, it was not so much an old friend as an old enemy, and he really didn't want to go out with him. But when he looked at the seat he was sitting in, he endured it, and got up and went out with him.
"Is it a real illness or a fake illness?"
The night outside was as cold as water, Jiang Xuanjin stood under the cloister and asked.
Wu was stunned, and reacted that he was asking His Royal Highness, and his expression became strange: "Jun Shang has been mixed with guΔn chΗng for many years, and he still can't tell the difference between the scene and the truth?" β
With them to take care of you, what serious illness can Your Highness have? In the past two months, Shopkeeper Lu has stuffed all the good supplements he can find into her stomach, and her body, which was originally very weak, has been made up.
Jiang Xuanjin's face became even more ugly, and she said, "If she comes today, it will be beneficial and harmless." β
Everyone knows this, but if she really comes, something may happen. Thinking of His Royal Highness's belly as big as a leather drum, he hooked his lips: "Your Highness's affairs don't worry about the king, the king still has to think about how to write the folds, don't put Ziyang in, and it will affect my Danyang." β
He could see the thoughts of the group of kings inside, and he didn't know why this person would agree. Once the emperor is angered, Ziyang will inevitably be the chicken who will be killed to make an example of the monkey.
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at him, and there was a coldness in his dark eyes: "If Your Highness knew what I did, he would definitely not say such a thing as you." β
What do you mean? I don't understand.
Jiang Xuanjin didn't explain much, turned around and went back to the birthday banquet. Standing under the porch and thinking for a long time, he decided to go back and ask His Highness.
After the banquet of Changlin Jun, the first one rode back, and the rest of the monarchs discussed with Ziyang Jun for two days, and also left one after another.
Du Ziyang Jun stayed until the end, standing in the garden of Changlin Jun's Mansion, staring blankly at the fish in the pool.
"Your ......," Changlin Jun asked worriedly, "There is a mountain spring in Changlin, the spring water is clear, and the fish swim in it as if flying in the clouds, do you want to go and see it?" β
Jiang Xuanjin shook his head.
"That'...... There is a new dancer in the house, and she has rehearsed an extremely beautiful dance, can you appreciate one or two? β
Jiang Xuanjin still shook his head.
Chang Lin Jun pondered for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Benjun and Nandu Jun have some old friendships, he asked Benjun to visit the princess of the president, does the monarch want to go back to Ziyang, or go with Benjun?" β
Jiang Xuanjin finally turned around and asked him, "If Ben Jun goes with Chang Lin Jun, is there something wrong?" β
A light flashed in his mind, Chang Linjun raised his eyebrows, and immediately said, "It's proper, it's proper!" Nandujun has a lot of things to be given by Benjun, and Benjun and the eldest princess are not too familiar, so it is a little embarrassing to go alone. If you can go along to solve the siege, you will be grateful! β
With soothing eyebrows, Jiang Xuanjin raised his chin: "In the land of Danyang, Benjun doesn't want to go, and it's another trouble to get news from Kyoto." β
"It's okay, it's okay, this gentleman is hiding it for you, just saying that you are playing in my Changlin forest!"
Jiang Xuanjin nodded reluctantly: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." β
Chengxu and Yufeng heard the corners of their mouths twitch when they heard it behind them, and they wanted to step forward and remind him: Your Majesty, Lord Lu is still carrying it in Ziyang, you said that you would go back as soon as you go, how can you go around Danyang!
But looking at his master's attitude towards Chang Lin Jun's sudden gentleness, he understood very well that it was useless, it was useless to say anything, he hadn't seen him for more than two months, and the master really couldn't help it.
At first, it was okay, the eldest princess left by herself, and the master persisted for more than a month with a wave of anger, but how long can anger last? Once it dissipates, where can the thoughts in my heart still be suppressed?
It's also to blame Yufeng, it was fine, but he secretly moved the xiΔng zΗ containing his wife's old things in the master's room, saying that he didn't want him to see the sadness. I thought that the master didn't pay attention, but who knew that he noticed it as soon as he entered the house, and coldly asked them to move the xiΔng zΗ back, and opened it for inspection.
During this inspection, I saw a handkerchief.
The handkerchief was found by Yufeng from under the bed, thinking that the lady had not had time to give it to the master, and the words "kissing the husband" were embroidered crookedly, to be honest, the embroidery was really unsatisfactory, and the words were ugly, but for some reason, the master saw the red eyes.
He has always disliked this kind of explicit words, and he thought that this was used by his wife to tease his master, who knew that he flipped through it at the bottom of xiΔng zΗ and turned out a framed character.
The word is recognized by the void, it is the master's handwriting, and it is written "kiss the lady".
The master only glanced at it, then didn't dare to look at it again, closed the box and buckled it, and put it back in its place.
Chengxu and Yufeng didn't know when this word was written, and they didn't know why it was written, but looking at the master's reaction, no one dared to ask more.
It's just a fantasy, just go if you want to go, it's rare for the master to be willful.
The dry and cold weather in the first-tier city made people very uncomfortable, and Jiang Shen was not used to it as soon as he arrived, and he had a high fever. The accompanying servant Shuangtian persuaded him to rest in the inn, but he didn't, and went to the eldest princess's mansion in a daze.
Li Huaiyu was watching Xu Chuzhuo embroider small clothes for the child in her belly, and she heard Qingxian leaning against the door and shouting: "Your Highness, there is a porcelain toucher at the door, and he refuses to leave no matter how he rushes." β
His eyes lit up, and Huaiyu became interested: "There are still people who dare to touch porcelain at my door?" Take me for a walk and show me around! β
"You wait." Xu Chuzhuo grabbed her and said with a smile, "With such a big belly, you still run around?" β
"It's rare that Lu Jingxing is not here today, hurry up and go out to take a breath." Huaiyu said aggrievedly, "Let me rest all day, I'm bored!" β
Xu Chuzhuo looked embarrassed, thought about it, took off the tiger skin cloak on the screen and wrapped it for her, and looked at the color of the cloak while tying a belt for her: "How did you make such a ......?"
"Lu Jingxing asked me if I wanted tiger skin or fox fur, and I thought tiger skin was more domineering." After putting on the cloak and turning around in front of her, Huaiyu raised her chin very proudly, "It's good-looking, right?" β
It's good-looking, it's a bit like the king of the mountain.
Looking at the sky outside, Xu Chuzhuo was still not at ease: "You hold me, I'll help you over." β
Qingxian, who reported the news, paused, and said with a complicated expression: "Isn't Miss Xu afraid of the cold?" Stay in the house, and we'll help your highness down." β
"How can you be as careful as I am? The day before yesterday, I went for a walk with Huaiyu, didn't I almost let her fall? β
ββ¦β¦ That's His Highness himself going to climb the rockery. Qingxian had a headache, "As long as His Highness walks well, we can hold it." β
Hearing this, Huaiyu was not happy, patted his belly and said, "I'm just a little bigger, do you think I'm lame or what?" Okay, don't fight, I'll go by myself. β
Anyway, cross the threshold and go.
"Your Highness!" Qingxian and Xu Chuzhuo were in a hurry, and they couldn't take care of it, so they hurriedly chased them out.
Li Huaiyu is very stable, even if he has a big belly, he walks with the wind, coupled with the majestic tiger skin, Jiang Shen at the door looked at it from a distance, and asked in a trance: "Is there a tiger rushing over?" β
Shuangtian shook his head: "Childe, that's a person." β
Whose family looks like a tiger? Jiang Shen's eyes were full of confusion, he watched the tiger approach, looked at him in surprise, immediately turned back to block in front of him, and said backwards: "Chuzhuo, can you get a cloak for me?" β
Xu Chuzhuo was inexplicable: "Aren't you wearing it?" β
patted his head, Huaiyu smiled dryly: "It's me who is stupid, so what, it's okay to pour a cup of tea." β
In the winter, let people pour tea from the house to the door, and it must not be cold? Qingxian wiped his face, he could understand very well what His Highness wanted to do, but this excuse really couldn't be justified.
No matter how sluggish Xu Chuzhuo was, he sensed that something was wrong and wanted to look behind her.
However, she moved to the left, and Huaiyu blocked to the left. She moved to the right, and Huaiyu blocked to the right.
So Xu Chuzhuo understood: "Is the Jiang family coming?" β
Li Huaiyu scratched his chin: "Why are you suddenly so smart?" β
Xu Chuzhuo chuckled: "After following you for so long, you always have to learn something...... Don't block it, I have nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore, and I won't care who comes. β
"It's not...... But this man ......"
Xu Chuzhuo smiled and stepped up the steps to help her to the side.
So in the next moment, she met Jiang Shen's misty peach blossom eyes.
A bitter wind poured in through the doorway, blowing people cold.
Xu Chuzhuo looked at him stiffly for a while, and lowered his eyes and saluted: "Second son." β
I haven't seen this person for a long time, and her life doesn't seem to be as sad as he thought, at least she is dressed in a lot of silk and satin, her face is ruddy, and she is not thin.
Jiang Shen chuckled and asked her, "You don't care who comes?" β
Xu Chuzao was silent, his back tightened, and his face gradually turned pale.
It's false to say that you don't care, after all, you used to be a person you liked, and you are a divorced couple, and when you see each other at first glance, you will inevitably feel a little strange in your heart. But she didn't weep as hopelessly as before. After sorting out her emotions, she spoke very calmly:
"The second son came from afar, but what's the matter?"
Distant attitude, as if he were just an ordinary visitor.
Jiang Shen sneered: "The hospitality in the princess's mansion is to stand at the door and ask questions? β
Li Huaiyu's eyes were not very friendly, he dragged Xu Chujiao behind him, stared at him and said: "There has always been no hospitality in my house, and if you are in a hurry, I may beat you up, do you want to try it?" β
The frosty sky behind him blocked it vigilantly when he heard it, Jiang Shen coughed twice, and was about to say something, when his eyes were attracted by her bulging belly.
"This ......" he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, "Could it be ......?"
Oops! Everyone was shocked, but Qingxian's reaction was fast, and he directly pulled the person into the door, pushed it into the courtyard with Frost Sky, and then closed the door.
Now that you see it, you can't let him go.
Jiang Shen staggered two steps, already dizzy, and now he was even more unstable. Xu Chuzhuo looked at it, hesitated for a while, but still reached out to help him.
I don't know if I don't touch it, but when I touch it, I find that this person is hot.
"...... you" Xu Chuzhuo frowned, "Sick?" β
Jiang Shen snorted lightly and coughed twice.
Li Huaiyu sighed: "This is really here to touch porcelain." β
Originally, she planned to teach a lesson to the people who touched porcelain, but the current situation is a little embarrassing. Let's do it, people are still sick, don't do it, is it possible to really serve him as a guest?
Just as he was hesitating, Chijin's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Why are you standing here?" β
Xu Chuzhuo turned around, and saw him holding her cloak in his hand, as if he didn't see Jiang Shen, he walked straight up to her and said, "Why don't you wear more when you come out?" β
His body was already a little stiff with cold, Xu Chuzhuo smiled at him gratefully, took the cloak and wrapped it: "Hurry up." β
"Let's go with His Highness to the Pavilion first." Chijin said, "I'll take care of the rest." β
This was said intimately, as if the two had been a husband and wife who had a tacit understanding for many years, Jiang Shen looked at Xu Chuzhuo with a deep face, and the latter did not refuse, but nodded obediently.
What is this?
With a sneer, Jiang Shen didn't start, and suddenly felt as if someone had pierced his heart, and the cold wind poured straight into it with thorns.
What is he doing here? People are okay at all, it's just him who has something.
Huaiyu pulled Xu Chuzhuo back to the house, and when she saw her solemn expression, she asked, "Still can't let it go?" β
"It's not." Xu Chuzhuo raised his eyes to look at her, "I'm wondering, he saw your belly, will he go back and tell Junshang." β
Nonsense, for sure! Huaiyu lay down on the soft couch, and was also a little embarrassed. According to the rules of the Northern Wei Dynasty, as long as the child is born after marriage, whether it is male or female, it must belong to the man. It's okay if Jiang Xuanjin doesn't know, once she knows, she may not be able to win if she comes to snatch the child from her.
Quite irritably, he nodded his belly, and Huaiyu said: "It's all because I've eaten too much recently, otherwise this belly wouldn't be so big." β
"The doctor said that if you make up for it well, your belly will be bigger." Xu Chuzhuo shook his head, "You still have to eat what you should eat." β
As for how to keep Jiang Shen from speaking, she can think of a way.
Qing Xian and Chijin settled Jiang Shen in the guest room together, and Jiang Ergongzi kept his face black, and he closed his eyes without saying a word when he lay on the bed.
The eyebrows moved slightly, and Qingxian suddenly asked Chijin: "Did you go to put the grain today?" β
Chijin shook his head: "It's been cold recently, and it's windy there, so I won't go." β
"Tsk, it's Miss Xu who is afraid of the cold, not you, why don't you go if she doesn't go?"
Nonsense, Miss Xu doesn't go, she won't put grain at all, what is he going to do? He glanced at him and turned around to leave.
"Hey, you go and bring a bowl of soup to Miss Xu, see if she's cold enough." Clear String Road.
There was no doubt that there was him, and Chijin answered and stepped out of the guest room.
Qingxian's eyes were full of smiles, and he looked back at the second son of Jiang who was still clenching his fists with his eyes closed, and clapped his hands in a good mood: "If you need anything, tell the people outside." β
After a pause, he added: "Although it may not be useful to say it, it is better than not to say it." β
With such a sloppy attitude, he frowned when he saw Shuang Tianzhi, and as soon as Qingxian left, he squatted beside the bed and said, "Why did Childe come here to be angry?" β
Jiang Shen closed his eyes and didn't answer, his mind was full of Xu Chuzhuo's well-behaved appearance standing in front of Chijin just now.
What is jealousy? He felt ugly, so he never allowed a woman in his backyard to have it, and whoever was jealous and jealous, he drove them away.
But now, he knew very well that he was jealous.
A deep sense of powerlessness and anxiety crept through his heart, making him feel hot all over, dizzy, and unable to lift even a finger.
In a hazy moment, he heard Xu Chuzhuo's voice again, like when he was sick a long time ago, whispering in front of his bed: "Help him and feed this bowl of medicine." β
Gu Luan and Xue Xue will accompany him when he is happy, linger with him, and have fun with him. And when he was unhappy or sick, most of the people around him were Xu Chuzhuo.
This inconspicuous man, in a way he was not aware of, invaded his day, laughing without her, but bitter tears. thought it would be a good thing to leave Bitter Tears, but who knew that when she left, it would be difficult for him to even laugh.
The back of his hand was probed, and he subconsciously grabbed the man with his backhand and opened his eyes with difficulty.
I dreamed of her again.
Looking at the face in front of him, Jiang Shen pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "The third brother is very bad." β
Ignoring the reaction of the man in front of him, he muttered, "He himself is unhappy, so he came to embarrass me and asked me to write you a letter of resignation...... Why didn't you come to me to question you when you got the letter of resignation? I thought you'd come, but you still have a lot of things with me, so I can't do them all...... At least take all the dowry away, a few xiΔng zΗ......"
After a pause, he tilted his head: "The last xiΔng zΗ is empty, can you put me on it?" β
The eyes that have always been amorous are full of fog at the moment, and there is no focus in the pupils, and the tone sounds a little aggrieved.
Xu Chuzhuo sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him in amazement.
She had never seen such a second son, and she had never spoken like this when she was drunk. His face was haggard, his lips were pale, and he looked a little sick.
Pumping his hand, and finding that he couldn't do it, Xu Chuzao pursed his lips, suppressed the emotions in his heart, picked up the bowl with his other hand, and handed him the medicine.
Jiang Shen looked at it and shook his head: "If you don't drink it, you will leave if you drink it." β
"If the second son doesn't want to drink, then I'll leave now."
Slightly panicked, Jiang Shen hurriedly took the bowl she was carrying, and drank the medicine cleanly, while drinking, his eyes were still looking in her direction.
Xu Chuzhuo looked at him blankly for a while, and then lowered his eyes: "You can rest." β
Jiang Shen asked vaguely, "Will you come to my dream tomorrow?" β
couldn't answer, Xu Chuzhuo's eyes were red.
She is the one who loves miserably, and she is also the one who is let down, why is he like this now?
"Do you want to come?" Jiang Shen seemed to be extremely sleepy, barely holding on to a dΓ‘ Γ n.
Xu Chuzhuo got up, gritted his teeth and replied to him, "It will come." β
