Chapter 109: Parents Are Coming
It's very strange that Concubine Ya didn't dress up today, and she took a small sedan chair and only brought two palace maids.
After Long Jie finished the salute, he wondered: "What's the matter with my mother, I can pass the child to the palace, why did I leave the palace without permission?" ”
Concubine Ya retreated from the palace maid, pulled Long Jie to her side and sat down: "You child, even your mother is hiding it, if you had said that your father wanted you to find a scepter to determine who would be the prince, my mother would not have fiercely opposed your marriage with Jia Qianqian!" I listen to what your father meant, this matter is only aimed at you and Long Xiao, and the other princes don't know about it at all, it seems that he is ready to choose someone between you and Long Xiao to be the crown prince. In fact, that Long Xiao has a quirky and indifferent personality, and he was disfigured, will he have to wear a mask to face hundreds of officials when he becomes an emperor in the future? Your father is not so good to him because of the guilt of what happened back then, so you must find the scepter and leave that ugly monster Long Xiao speechless. ”
Long Jie's face suddenly became happy, "Mother knows?" Did the mother agree to our marriage? ”
Concubine Ya patted his hand, "Don't worry, it's not too late to talk about marriage after you find the scepter and ascend to the crown prince." "This Ya Guifei has her own wishful thinking, and when she finds the scepter, Jia Qianqian has no use value, and it is not too late to kick it away.
"What if you can't find the scepter? Is it true that the child will never get married? "Long Jie immediately guessed that Concubine Ya was not well-intentioned, it was very simple, he knew her too well.
"How so? I will definitely be able to find it soon, rest assured, my mother will definitely help you. Oh, by the way, what about Miss Jia? My mother wants to meet her and have a good chat with her. ”
Long Jie knew that Jia Qianqian now had use value in the eyes of his mother, and she would not make things difficult for Qianqian easily. So he asked Qianqian to be called.
When Concubine Ya saw Jia Qianqian, she stopped her from saluting with a smile on her face, took her hand affectionately and looked at her carefully, and said, "Jie'er, you don't make a few more new clothes for Miss Jia, it's too bad for her, right?" ”
Long Jie smiled helplessly, "The child will let someone do a few more things for her tomorrow." ”
The sudden change of Concubine Ya made it a little difficult for Jia Qianqian to adapt, so she had to adapt to all changes, and look at the purpose of this concubine's visit today.
"Jie'er, you go out first, my mother and Miss Jia talk about some women's considerate words, don't listen." Concubine Ya wanted to break up Long Jie, but Long Jie hesitated for a moment and left.
"Qianqian, think about it again, do you have any impression of a scepter carved from a very rare colored jade?" Ya Guifei asked expectantly.
Jia Qianqian sneered in her heart, no wonder this noble concubine suddenly changed her attitude, it turned out that it was also for the scepter.
"Hui Niangniang, the grass people have no impression of this at all, all my memories are memories of wandering in the grasslands of Khotan. By the way, what the hell is that scepter for? Long Jie said that he took me to Khotan, and we were separated after meeting the robbers, and when he found me later, I lost my memory, and since I was with him, was the scepter given to me for safekeeping? ”
Jia Qianqian's rhetorical question stopped Concubine Ya. She didn't know how Long Jie tricked Jia Qianqian into coming to the capital, nor did she know Jia Qianqian's previous experience, but she heard Emperor Yong'an mention a few words, saying that Jia Qianqian was the key person to find the scepter, and only Jia Qianqian knew the final whereabouts of the scepter, she was excited for a while, overjoyed, thinking that Jia Qianqian was in the hands of her son, and it would be easy to find the scepter, so she ran to Jia Qianqian to show goodwill, wanting to ask the whereabouts of the scepter.
Concubine Ya suddenly said in a sneer: "This, this palace is not very clear, just ask casually, this palace is here today, just to tell you that this palace has agreed to your marriage, but you must wait until Jie'er ascends to the crown prince's throne before the wedding can be held, and Jie'er's condition for ascending the crown prince is to find the scepter, so this palace just wants to remind you that if you want to marry Jie'er as soon as possible, you must do your best to help him ascend to the crown prince's throne." ”
Jia Qianqian finally understood why Long Xiao and Long Jie cared so much about the scepter, but they were afraid that Long Jie would be good to him, and he could ascend to the crown prince because he could find the scepter from himself. Jia Qianqian's heart suddenly felt sad, for Long Jie, she had unconsciously invested in her feelings, even if she guessed that the two might be separated because of the disparity in status, but she also hoped that the two had truly loved, not for other purposes.
Concubine Ya chatted with Qianqian for a few more words, and saw that she really didn't remember anything, and she didn't know anything about the scepter, so she asked Jia Qianqian to go out, replaced Long Jie in, and ordered Long Jie to help Qianqian recover her memory as soon as possible, coax her more, and find out the whereabouts of the scepter as soon as possible.
Long Jie had already decided to help Qianqian recover his memory anyway, so he readily agreed, as for the matter of the scepter, wait for Qianqian to recover her memory, and he can't rush it.
So, under the urging of Concubine Ya, several doctors with the highest medical skills and the most knowledgeable in the Tai Hospital were invited in turn. However, because it is not clear how Jia Qianqian got his amnesia, and these imperial doctors have all heard of such a strange disease, but no one will cure it, so they can only prescribe some medicine to calm the nerves and nourish the brain, so they can only hope that Qianqian will be stimulated by something one day and can recover her memory all at once.
Every time the imperial doctor came, Jia Qianqian was full of hope, but the result was disappointment again and again, he drank a lot of strange bitter medicine, but he didn't remember the past. Seeing that this method was useless, Long Jie secretly decided to go and pick up Jia Qianqian's parents in person, to see if Jia Qianqian could recognize them after seeing his parents, and then recalled everything in the past.
Long Jie excused his father to let him go out of the capital to run errands, and he would not be able to come back until a few days later, so that Jia Qianqian could stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and when he was bored, he and Xiaoxiang went to the street to play, but he couldn't go to the casino. Jia Qianqian's relatives, acquaintances, and friends are all Long Jie, seeing that he was leaving, he suddenly felt empty in his heart, and after having no memory, he came to Dayan Country and mixed with him every day, and he had already put all his feelings on him, and the two were now in a strong relationship, and there was no quarrel, so naturally there was no need to force themselves to be strong, so the short parting also made the two very reluctant. Although Jia Qianqian doubted whether Long Jie would have ulterior motives for his kindness, he couldn't be indifferent to love him because of doubt.
The night before leaving, the two snuggled together and grinded their temples, and it was difficult to give up, until midnight, Jia Qianqian was sleepy, snuggled in Long Jie's arms and fell asleep, Long Jie carried her to the bed, stared at her for a while, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then reluctantly went back to his room to rest.
Early the next morning, Jia Qianqian was still asleep, and Long Jie was already on the road with excitement. Now that he is absolutely sure, even if Jia Qianqian recovers her memory, she will still love him and will not leave him. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, if Long Jie knew that he was leaving, there would be many twists and turns, and he would bring Qianqian with him.
On the day after Long Jie left, Jia Qianqian was silent a lot, and finally realized that his emotional dependence on him was much greater than he imagined. After sitting bored in the whole courtyard for a long time, I finally decided to play on the street.
Because of Long Jie's orders, Qianqian must be followed when she goes out, so she chose Xiaoxiang. With Xiaoxiang, the two came to the bustling streets of Beijing. Although Xiaoxiang is a child of a poor family, she grew up in the capital after all, so she acts as a guide and introduces her to where to eat and have fun. can't go to the gambling house, so Qianqian has to focus on eating, drinking, and playing.
During this period of time, Long Jie also took her around, but basically she ate and went in and out of the restaurant, and the visit was a place where those royal gardens and other dignitaries and nobles haunted. Shopping with Xiaoxiang in the snack street and the gathering place of performing arts and juggling in the lower nine streams is even more happy.
After eating and drinking enough and having enough fun, I saw that it was not early, and then I returned to Long Jie's other courtyard with unfinished thinking. On the way, when he saw the sugar gourd seller, Jia Qianqian couldn't help but buy two more strings of sugar gourds, one for each of them, and happily ate while walking. Jia Qianqian is the master's honored guest, and may be the future hostess, although she doesn't have a little shelf, and she doesn't treat Xiaoxiang as a slave at all, but Xiaoxiang naturally doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, so when the two walk together, she always follows behind.
Just when the two turned a street corner and arrived home not far away, Xiao Xiang, who was walking behind, was suddenly covered by someone and dragged into a small alley next to her.
Jia Qianqian felt that something was wrong, and when she looked back, she didn't see Xiaoxiang, but two tall and burly men surrounded her one after the other. One of the big men said in a deep voice: "You are Jia Qianqian, right?" Your parents came, and my master told you to meet them. ”
"My parents are here?" Jia Qianqian was stunned, and suddenly thought that the master he said should be Long Xiao. frowned, "Long Xiao asked you to come, right?" Since it's for me to go, I can go to the other courtyard and call it openly, why do you intercept it halfway? ”
Dahan said impatiently: "It's all the same, don't be verbose, come with us." ”
Jia Qianqian looked left and right, but didn't see Xiao Xiang, and immediately changed his face, "Where is Xiao Xiang?" What did you do to her? She's still a child, don't freak out her. She is the maid of Long Jie's family, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, don't go too far! ”
Dahan said: "If you go with us obediently, she will naturally be fine, and she will go back by herself in a while, go quickly!" ”
There is still a distance from Long Jie's courtyard here, and he can't hear the shouting, besides, since he is Long Xiao's person, he shouldn't be able to do anything about himself. Thinking of this, Jia Qianqian didn't bother to say more, and said directly: "Lead the way!" I'll just go with you, remember to put a little incense. ”
Dahan led Jia Qianqian to another street, where there was already a small sedan waiting there. Jia Qianqian obediently let them carry her to Long Xiao's territory.
Along the way, Jia Qianqian was desperately thinking about everything in the past, thinking about her parents' faces, and the bits and pieces of the past, but no matter how hard she tried to recall, everything in the past was a blank.
The small sedan chair was carried into a small courtyard and stopped, Jia Qianqian lifted the sedan curtain and walked out, and at first sight saw a middle-aged woman and a man in his forties standing there. As soon as the woman saw her, she immediately pounced on her and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God! Qianqian, it's really you! Mother's baby, you miss your mother. ”
