Chapter 100: The Whereabouts of Yin Jin
"Mother, she really went to fill the pool." The thrush invited credit in front of Jiang Shaoqing.
"Oh?" Jiang Shaoqing seems to be very satisfied with the word "she", no one can compare with herself, Tao Ying is not good, Tao Yao'er is not good, Li Wanfeng is not good, and now Tao Yaoyao is naturally not good.
"Niangniang, this is what the slave and maid have seen with their own eyes. Since last night, she has had people fill the rain pool with water, and most of the day's work has been more than half a pond, which is true. Thrush said with a smile, she understands that people naturally understand the mind of their master.
"Thrush, the rain pool is a mile away from Zhengrongxuan, how can you save so much in half a day?" Jiang Shaoqing thought that this incident would not only make Tao Yaoyao make a fuss, but also make her tired, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Niangniang, I don't know what method she used, I drove a lot of things I don't know what to call along the way, and the bucket went along those shelves one by one, and I didn't have to carry the water reservoir at all." Thrush was a little puzzled by this.
"Really?" Jiang Shaoqing didn't care, since Tao Yaoyao took out those strange things, she asked people to check, this result is nothing more than the kung fu of passing on the craft plus the fact that the person himself is a craftsman's daughter, although he feels strange, but he is not at ease, after all, there are only so many things.
In her heart, Tao Xiaoyao took out the things at the bottom of the box, and she never thought that it was made by Tao Yaoyao.
"Could it be that this palace is too worried?" Jiang Shaoqing stood up and muttered to herself, thinking that it would take a little more to coax this peach concubine to fill the pool, but she didn't expect that it would take no effort to get things done, and it is estimated that the woman is still grateful to her at this time.
"Niangniang, she can't speak the same language as Niangniang, just say that this mind is less than one thousandth of Niangniang." Thrush knows that this master doesn't love people and flatters openly, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't love flattery.
"This time I did a good errand for this palace, and this palace naturally won't treat you badly." Jiang Shaoqing looked at the thrush, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Xie Niangniang." The thrush's little face immediately bloomed, and of course she was happy to get the praise of her master.
"When the princess returns to the court, the palace will go and ask the emperor to get the position of the palace with you." Jiang Shaoqing also laughed.
"The slave thanked the mother." Although the thrush is very clever, she is also young, and she feels happy, and she didn't notice Jiang Shaoqing's expression, let alone the gloom that flashed on her loyal master's face.
"Go and watch, and report back to the palace immediately if there is any change." Jiang Shaoqing commanded and waved his hand.
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." The thrush's steps seemed to be brisker, and he was even more obedient to his master's orders, and he went to monitor them in a proper manner.
At this time, the peach is dying, is sitting by the lotus pond of Zhengrongxuan, the movement here has alarmed the night burning, these days he has no leisure, but after listening to Guifu's report, put down the things in his hand and probed all the way.
On the way, I saw some more than two tall supports, every ten steps is a frame, this shelf is a little different in height, the style is very simple, even the oil is not smeared, and there is a half-thick rope in the middle of those shelves. But if you look closely, this rope is unusual, different from ordinary coarse linen, but smooth and tight. In the middle of the rope hung a number of buckets, ordinary buckets, and every hundred paces stood a subordinate, occasionally pounding the long pole in his hand to pluck these buckets.
Qing Ye Zhuo followed the support frame to Zhengrong Xuan.
"The emperor has arrived—" Guifu's familiar voice sounded in Taoyao's ears.
"See the emperor-" The slaves and maids all knelt down, but Tao Yaoyao was still half-lying on the rocking chair brought by Biyun, motionless.
"Child?" Nightburn made a silent gesture, and the men retreated into the distance.
"......" Tao Yao still didn't move.
Qing Yezhuo took a closer look and realized that this girl was asleep. He looked like a little pig, his face was ruddy, his eyelashes were long, and he was sparkling and cute in the sun.
This can't be blamed for Tao Xiaoxiao, it won't be two days before Qing Yueying returns to the dynasty, if you let people carry buckets of water, it is estimated that hundreds of people will be used, if this is for those bachelors, I don't know what to say about her. She studied it carefully and found that although there was a pond nearby, it was not easy to use manpower, so she fell in love with the high rain pool.
There is more than one of these rain pools in the palace, which is used to store rainwater for each palace in case of emergency, and it is not used on weekdays. Although this pool has a mile, fortunately, the terrain is a lot higher, and the road is flat and spacious, just suitable for building a shelf. She asked people to make some rudimentary shelves overnight, which were the supports that Qing Yezhuo saw. And the rope is nothing more than a layer of gum, which is why it is so smooth that the bucket can slide more smoothly. In this way, you only need to prepare eight or nine people along the way, and when you see that the bucket is stuck, you can store water in a very short time. Save time and effort, and be efficient.
"Huh? Who?! Tao Xiaoxiao only felt that the tip of his nose was itchy, and a sneeze did not come out, but the person jumped up first without opening his eyes.
"It's me." There was some pampering and helplessness in Qing Yezhuo's eyes.
"It's you—" Momo yawned and bothered up.
"You're up with this idea?" Qing Yezhuo asked with a smile.
"yes, otherwise you think anyone else is so smart that they can come up with such a good solution?" Tao Xiaoyao said angrily, it was because of this that she didn't sleep well.
I don't know if Jiang Shaoqing did it on purpose, and she got sick at this point, which was obviously harming her. She still suspects that Jiang Shaoqing not only wants to harm her, but also rectifies her mind. Otherwise, it will take more than two days to fill this pool!
"You let you keep this pool?" Nightburn's eyes looked at the people who had taken the buckets and poured water into the pool. The buckets were emptied and piled up on the cart, and a cart was taken back to someone to bring them back.
"yes!" Tao Yaoyao had a knowing expression on her face.
"Do you know why this pool is empty?" Qing Yezhuo's expression was a little strange.
"Isn't it just that the flowers have been taken away and the pond is deserted." Tao Xiaoyao is very honest, she only knows that she was burned by Qing Yueying, but she doesn't know why it is empty.
"Are you hungry?" Nightburn abruptly changed the subject.
Well? Why do you suddenly ask this? However, Tao Xiaoyao quickly reacted, this is not easy to speak.
"Well, sort of." Tao Yaoyao nodded obediently.
"Someone—" Qing Yezhuo commanded, and someone went to prepare.
Without waiting for a cup of tea, all kinds of dim sum were put on the table. At this time, Tao Yaoyao and Qing Yezhuo were already sitting in the inner room of Zhengrongxuan, there was no one around, Guifu was guarding outside the main gate, and no one could come in.
"I can say that." Tao Yaoyao looked at a table of delicious food, and naturally it would not be wasted, and a wolf's paw stretched out to the stewed sweet soup.
"This pool was made by my father." Qing Ye saw that Tao Yao was like this, just laughing, and there was visible love in this smile.
"I know, to the point." Tao Yaoyao was wrapped in white cake in her mouth, and some words were slurred.
Qing Yezhuo suddenly stared at Taoyao's little face, clasped her chin with one hand, and despite her round eyes, her handsome head leaned closer. Then, in the astonishment of Tao Yaoyao, he licked the crumbs from the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue, rolled them into her mouth with unfinished meaning, and sighed with satisfaction.
"You-" Tao Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, was she being molested just now?
"Not only that, but there is also a full pond of Donglian in this pool. The East Lotus blooms in midsummer, which is different from the ordinary lotus flower, and it is a golden scene in full bloom. The world thinks that the princess loves Lian, but this pool is not made for the princess of the moon. Qing Ye Zhuo said meaningfully.
"Huh?" Tao Yaoyao is also a little confused, not for the princess, so what is it doing in Zhengrongxuan? Feng Shui is good here, and the lotus grows fast? Also, the golden lotus, which sounds so good, has never seen it!
Qing Yezhuo seemed to understand what Tao Yaoyao wanted to say, and continued: "There is a very special one in this pond full of lotus flowers-"
Tao Yaoyao lowered her head and tilted her head, she had already forgotten about being molested just now. And when she heard that there was a lotus flower in it that was very special, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she seemed to think of something.
"This lotus flower is a golden lotus, and it took my father several months to make this golden lotus. The meridians of each petal of this golden lotus are not different, and even the bud core in the lotus is also lifelike, and it is impossible to distinguish it among the hundred eastern lotuses. Qing Yezhuo seemed to be reminiscing, and his voice became low as he said this.
"Make a fake flower and put it in the real flower, so that there are still flowers in the pond in winter?" The question of Tao Xiaoyao is very naïve, but it is casual nonsense.
Qing Yezhuo glanced at her, and spat out the words for a while: "No, that golden lotus is Yin gold." ”
"What?" Although Tao Xiaoyao had already guessed something, she still couldn't stop being surprised when the answer came out of Qing Yezhuo's mouth.
"Yin gold and yang jade must be nourished." Qing Yezhuo said.
"Qi Yang?" What the heck?
"Yangyu is not soaked in water and fire, and it must be popular with gold and wood, so it is yang. The yin gold does not disappear with the moon, but it has to be illuminated, so it needs to be raised in the dark water and sinking wood. Nightburn explained.
"In other words, this yang jade has to be carried, and the yin gold has to be put into the water?" Tao Xiaoxiao didn't know what Jinmu Shenmu was, so he turned around and asked Xiao Wuming to check.
"Hmm." Nightburn nodded.
"What if you don't raise it?" Tao Yaoyao said curiously, this thing may be something with special elements, but it sounds like this yin gold is not 100% gold, and it is easy to melt when the weather is hot in the sun, so it needs to be put in water to cool down?
She's only seen 999 and hasn't seen 000 yet, but it's very scientific.
"I don't know." Qing Yezhuo shook his head, this is only written in this classic, but it doesn't say the result of not raising.
"Okay, what you mean by that, then the golden lotus was placed in the princess's lotus pond by the emperor. Because the princess loves Lian, the emperor used this as a cover. Is that so? "Tao Xiaoxiao understands, it really deserves to be a royal family, and even her daughter can be used.
"Not only that, my father really created an identical golden lotus." Qing Yezhuo replied softly.
It's really thoughtful, so that the world thinks that the emperor loves his daughter too much to give this golden lotus, and they didn't think that this is a treasure at all. It's just that this golden lotus was taken away by Qing Yueying.
"You said that the yin gold was in An Yanglie's hands, so it was taken away by the princess?" Tao Yaoyao exhaled, the royal secret was too deep, blaming her for not understanding this kind of love.
"Well, at that time, the imperial sister burned this lotus pond, and the lotus was not damaged, and she only took away the golden lotus on her wedding day." Qing Ye smiled bitterly.
Could it be that Qing Yueying wanted to determine the authenticity of Yin Jin? Her head is a little messy, if it weren't for Tao Yaoyao's strong heart, she wouldn't be able to accept so many magical things again and again. But now, this matter has become simpler, at least she is sure that the yin gold is in Ximo, and it seems that Ximo has to go. It's just, Yangyu-
"Nightburn—" Momo's voice was a little charming.
