Chapter 23: The Meaning of the Foxtail
There is a kumquat tree in the hall of Luoxue Garden, it is the golden autumn at this time, and the kumquat is also golden, exquisite and lovely.
Yujin was in a hurry, and there was no intention of enjoying the scenery at all. When he hurriedly crossed the kumquat, he was even more entangled in the kumquat branches, leading the kumquat to roll to the ground.
The maid in the back might as well for a while, and then stepped on the kumquat and splashed it everywhere. Dots of kumquat juice splashed on Yujin's pink Luo skirt.
The maid panicked for a while, not knowing how to admit her mistake. Fortunately, Yujin looked in a hurry and didn't see this.
In the inner room, Aunt Song was sitting with a sad face. Yujin walked over in three steps and two steps, and called aggrievedly, "Mother......"
Aunt Song looked puzzled and worried, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you go out to buy jewelry? Why is there such an unhappy face? ”
When Yujin heard this, he buried his head and choked up. "Mother, daughter......"
Aunt Song was anxious, "What happened?" You say it well. ”
Yujin barely calmed down, and then he opened his mouth one by one.
It turned out that when Yujin was changing clothes in Zhenbaozhai today, he actually met Deng's disciple.
In the incense burner in the dressing room, a sweet-smelling spice was burned. Yujin and the maid fell asleep in the process of changing clothes.
Fortunately, Zhu Qing and Ziyan came to inquire, and the disciples fled in a hurry and did not succeed.
It's just that in this way, Wen Jin and Yun Jin both knew about this matter, which really made it difficult for her to be a person.
Aunt Song also had a dignified look on her face when she heard this. It's big or small. If the insiders in the Prime Minister's Mansion don't say it, the disciple will naturally not dare to say it.
The most important thing now is not to let the insiders in the Prime Minister's Mansion say it.
After thinking for a moment, Aunt Song stabilized her mind. "Yu'er, these days you have to live in a shallow way. They don't have any evidence for this kind of thing, and when time goes by, no one will believe them even if they say it. What's more, there are old ladies here, and they don't dare to say it for the sake of sisterhood. ”
Yujin nodded obediently, and then said worriedly, "Mother, do you say that the disciple really doesn't dare to say it?" ”
Aunt Song frowned and asked, "Did you see the person's appearance clearly?" If we can find it, we can do it all the time. Aunt Song's tone revealed a vicious color.
Yujin looked thoughtful, and said for a long time, "My daughter fell asleep, and I didn't see the person's appearance. It's just that when the man fled in a hurry, because the movement was quite loud, the daughter vaguely woke up, only to see that the man was wearing a dragon pattern jade pendant of mutton fat white jade. ”
Aunt Song's face became even more solemn when she heard this, and she muttered as if talking to herself, "Mutton fat white jade is rare, and dragon pattern jade pendant is not something that anyone can wear at will." ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Song said thoughtfully, "It seems that this person's identity is not simple, and it is impossible to kill people and kill people." ”
Yujin had a confused look on his face, "Since that person's identity is not simple, why do you want to do such a thing?" ”
Aunt Song was also puzzled, "I can't figure it out either." ”
"Now that the matter is revealed, you don't have to think about it anymore. Since he is a person with status, he will not talk about it outside. ”
"Relax and prepare for the chrysanthemum feast!" Aunt Song softly comforted.
Yujin nodded, "Yes, my daughter knows." ”
Nuan Wen Pavilion, after Wen Jin bathed and changed clothes, he sat down by the window in a simple suit of water blue.
Today's incident in Jumbo Zhai was expected by her. As soon as she entered the door of Zhenbaozhai today, she found that there was a person staring at Yujin sneakily.
When she saw that the man was richly dressed, she didn't care. But when she reached the second floor, she inadvertently saw the man whispering to a maid.
Then the maid took a glass of water and sprinkled it on Yujin's clothes. This matter is strange, and she can't help but think about it too much. It's just that she didn't stop it, but at the right time, she ordered Zhuqing and Ziyan to go up and check. It just happened to break through that scene.
Although Yujin has not lost her innocence, there is also a handle that has fallen into her hands.
Just that man? Wen Jin guessed roughly, and was frightened by the results of the speculation, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
However, Wen Jin could conclude that the man was a womanizer, and the bandeau skirt worn by Yu Jin happened to expose the delicacy. Because of this, he fell into the eyes of the womanizer.
The people who can buy things in Jumbo Zhai are all aristocratic ladies, and that person just doesn't want to give her a name, but just wants to take possession of it! That's why I came up with such a twist and turn.
The man may have expected that the noble lady would not dare to publicize her defilement. That's why you dare to act recklessly!
"Hello Third Miss." The sound of the autumn moon came from outside.
Wen Jin came back to his senses and got up to greet him, "Third sister." ”
Yun Jin walked over with a smile, "Eldest sister, I have a question in my heart and want to ask eldest sister for advice." ”
Wen Jinhan said with a smile, "Sister Bingxue is smart, I'm afraid I guessed it a long time ago, right?" It's just that I'm not sure yet. ”
Yun Jin smiled, "My sister is really smart, and I can't hide my sister's thoughts from my sister at all." ”
Wen Jin smiled and waved his hand and ordered, "You all go down!" I chatted with Miss Three. ”
"Yes." The maids beside the two girls bowed and retreated.
"My sister has something in mind, you might as well talk to your sister about it." Wen Jin said indifferently.
Yun Jin's face was cautious, "Eldest sister, today in Zhenbaozhai, my sister found that a man whispered to the maid, and the maid sprinkled the second sister's clothes when serving tea. ”
And the maid is a person from Zhenbaozhai, and the changing room is also arranged by Zhenbaozhai. The man is so familiar with Zhenbao Zhai, it can be seen that he is related to Zhenbao Zhai. It's just that my sister is stupid and can't guess the identity of the man. ”
Wen Jin said with a smile, "My sister's observation is indeed meticulous. ”
"That man can support the maid of Zhenbaozhai at will, and he is naturally a person of Zhenbaozhai."
Yun Jin thought for a while, and suddenly said, "By the way, sister, that man also wears a dragon pattern jade pendant of mutton fat white jade." ”
"The dragon pattern jade pendant of mutton fat white jade? The dragon jade pendant can only be worn by the royal family. Wen Jin muttered to himself.
Yun Jin's face was shocked, "Could it be that the man is from the royal clan?" ”
Wen Jin nodded and said indifferently, "Xu is so." ”
Yun Jin was shocked for a long time before he regained his expression, got up and said, "Sister go back first, sister should rest early!" ”
Wen Jin nodded and said, "Okay, sister go slowly." ”
Looking at Yun Jin's distant back, Wen Jin's eyes became deeper. Others may not know, but she knows that the current emperor once gave His Royal Highness the crown prince a piece of mutton fat white jade dragon pattern jade pendant as a rite of passage.
The crown prince already has a concubine, so the concubine of the prime minister's mansion must not be able to commit to being a side concubine. Otherwise, not only will Xiang Ye not help, but he will also be angry.
So the prince retreated and chose the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yujin Niang's uncle was still the Father of the Ningguo Mansion. He is also a person who can be of great use.
In this way, the prince not only pulled Xiangye into his sect, but also pulled the Ningguo Mansion into his own sect.
Is it really a good calculation?
One morning a few days later, Wen Jin had just gotten up, and a little maid from Xiangye's side came to pass the word and asked her to hurry over.
Wen Jin somehow, with doubts in his heart, quickened his pace and rushed to the study.
Xiangye handed her a rosewood box, and said cautiously and worriedly, "This is sent from the Northwest Frontier, and it is for you by name." ”
Wen Jin was puzzled, Su Wentao and Lin Qingfeng were both in the Northwest Frontier, since this thing was given to him by name, it would definitely not be given by Su Wentao.
Wen Jin said suspiciously, "Could it be that Cousin Qingfeng sent someone back?" ”
Xiangye stared and said, "The person who came to deliver this thing is the servant of the third prince. ”
"The Third Prince?" Wen Jin also looked puzzled and shocked.
"But my daughter and the third prince don't know each other!"
Seeing Wen Jin's puzzled expression, Xiangye also understood a little in his heart, "Maybe it has nothing to do with you, the third prince is a drunkard, and he doesn't mean to drink." ”
Wen Jin suddenly realized, "Could it be that the third prince wants to borrow his daughter to win over his father?" ”
Xiangye nodded, shook his head again, and said cautiously, "These can't be determined for the time being." ”
"Let's see what's in the box first!"
Wen Jin opened the rosewood box as he said, only to see a pair of exquisite snow fox tail ornaments lying inside.
Wen Jin was surprised and took the snow fox tail ornament in his hand. This turned out to be the tail of a three-tailed snow fox, and what is even more rare is that the tail end of this snow-white fox tail has a tuft of fiery red fluff.
Xiangye was also surprised, "This turned out to be a three-tailed flaming snow fox!" ”
Wen Jin looked puzzled, "Daddy, do you have anything to say about these three-tailed flaming snow foxes?" ”
Xiangye's face was solemn, but Wen Jin took out a letter from the box.
In Xiangye's surprised gaze, Wen Jin opened the letter that was "personally opened by the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's house". There was only one piece of paper inside.
There were only a few words on the paper, and after Wen Jin read it silently, he handed the letter to Xiangye.
"I personally hunted the three-tailed flaming snow fox and gave it to the benefactor who gave me a peace charm a few days ago. The battlefield is dangerous, but fortunately it is blessed by peace charms. ”
Xiangye asked, "You once gave the Three Princes a peace charm?" ”
Wen Jin didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded and said, "My daughter did give a person a peace charm, but my daughter didn't know the identity of that person that day. ”
Xiangye thought for a moment, then nodded, "You go back first!" Since the third prince said that it was given to his benefactor, you should take it well!
These three-tailed flaming snow foxes are extremely rare, and even if they are given away, they must be given to people who value them very much. Now, judging from the letters alone, the three princes regard you as a benefactor. ”
What Xiang Ye said was not sincere, and Wen Jin knew it in his heart. "Yes, my daughter retired first."
Looking at Wen Jin's distant back, Xiangye let out a long sigh. The crown prince is indeed not the choice of the Ming monarch, although these three princes have some ability, they are just rare to be a king!
