Chapter 72: Tokens
"Nanyue!!" Gong Ci screamed in surprise, and then covered his mouth.
The passers-by glanced at her suspiciously, Gong Ci didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly pulled Songru into the Feiyu Pavilion and brought it to the old lady.
"What? You have news from Nanyue!" The teacup in the old man's hand was not held steady, and all the steaming water spilled onto his clothes.
At this time, she didn't care about wiping off the water stains, so she quickly got up from the wooden chair and walked quickly to Songruo.
"Yes."
Songru said, taking out a letter and the gold bracelet inlaid with rare blue crystal from his bosom, "Please take a look at the old lady."
"It's her stuff, it's her stuff......
The old lady trembled her hands and looked at it carefully, "This bracelet is a pair of gifts from Lin Ge when she and Nanxing were seventeen years old, and she likes the aquamarine on it very much, and said that she wants to keep it for Ximing as a dowry......
Tears fell from her eyes, and the old man's voice choked, but when her eyes touched the white-skinned book in Songruo's hand, her voice suddenly choked, and then, the sobs from time to time turned into suppressed crying.
She pressed the white letter tightly in front of her heart, shook her body a few times, and almost fell to the ground, crying louder than one.
"Mother-in-law......" Gong Wan wiped her tears and hurriedly supported the old lady.
"My child......
She cried in despair, this was the third white letter she had received, and each time, it came with the news of the death of her loved ones.
Although she understood that everything was done by Nanyue as a last resort, when she parted, she didn't even want to look at her again.
Now that she saw this edict that brought the news of death, she was bleeding from her heart......
The old lady endured her grief, opened the letter tremblingly, and looked at the light in the room word by word, and the handwriting was as beautiful as ever.
Mother:
Seeing the words, are you feeling well lately? Your daughter shouldn't have written this letter to make you angry and sad, but her mother's heart is like a year, so she dared to write this letter and ask her friends to say hello.
I know you're angry with me, but there's something my daughter has to do.
I killed my father and killed the king, gave the blood of more than ten generations of ancestors to others, desecrated my father's body, ignored the enmity of my siblings, committed myself to the enemy, and the things my daughter did were heinous and unforgivable, and it is reasonable for you to resent me and hate me.
When the world is stable, the daughter will plead guilty to her father, brother and sister, and countless soldiers who died in battle.
I am sending it to my mother in a white paper, hoping that you will forgive your daughter, who is no different from death.
It's useless to say more, my daughter assures you that the children of my brother and sister-in-law will definitely grow up in an environment of national peace and security.
A short letter, full of words, I wish my mother, sister-in-law and children well.
The unscrupulous female Si Nanyue is here
The handwriting on the letter was wet and blurred with tears, and the old lady couldn't bear to look at it anymore, she sat tremblingly on the chair and stool with the support of Gong Wan, and she slowed down for a long time before saying, "You all stand down."
Looking at the old lady's grief-stricken appearance, Song Ruo couldn't help but think of her mother, and before leaving, she couldn't help but comfort: "Old lady, don't be too sad, when I left, there was a high-ranking and powerful general who took care of Miss Nanyue very much, and even the Chiyuan token I used all the way was asked by Miss Nanyue from that general, thinking about it, she and Miss Ximing will not suffer too much grievance."
The old lady's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Songru doesn't dare to tell half a lie."
"That's fine...... That's fine......" The old lady felt a little comforted and wiped the tears from her face.
After everyone withdrew, Gong Wan suddenly grabbed Songruo, "The girl said that Nanyue gave you a token of the Red Abyss?"
"Yes." Songru had nothing to hide, so he immediately took out the token and handed it to Gong Wan.
Gong Wan looked at the token and thought for a moment, then turned to Gong Ci and said, "Ci'er, you immediately rush to the palace with this token, and you will definitely hand it over to the city lord and Mrs. Yulin with your own hands."
Seeing that Gong Ci was puzzled, she explained, "Nanyue never does superfluous things, maybe it was hers who brought this thing out
purpose."
Gong Ci suddenly realized, she was just about to set off, when she heard a sound of footsteps from the outer courtyard, she looked over, and just saw Mrs. Yulin walking in with a middle-aged man.
The man had sharp eyebrows, deep eyebrows, a dark red brocade robe, a generous and majestic posture, and an extraordinary temperament, but he was full of wine and drunk, and his drunken appearance was really flattering.
"Oops...... Am I in Wonderland?" The man wiped his eyes vigorously, "There are so many beautiful women here."
When Gong Ci saw him, she couldn't help but think of Jiang Jifeng, who used to attract bees and butterflies all day long, and she had just read Nanyue's letter, and she was sad and bored for a while, causing her to look at that person unpleasantly.
After everyone saluted Mrs. Yulin, Gong Ci couldn't help but squint his eyes and whispered to him: "Phew, Deng's disciple!"
He heard it clearly, but he didn't care, "The girl is not only beautiful, but also has a good temper."
"Gong Ci, don't be rude to the cold prince." Mrs. Yulin glanced at her, "Don't you want to accompany the prince."
"Lord Hancang......" Gong Ci's mind exploded, "Lord Hancang of Mobei!".
Han Cang took a drunken step, took a few steps forward, bowed slightly at Gong Ci, and smiled wickedly: "It is this disciple who is under him."
"No, no, no...... I didn't mean that, you listen to my quibbles, no...... Listen to me......
He smiled and looked at Gong Ci's anxious hands, as if he felt very interesting.
"Actually, in our Zelu City, the "Dengtuzi" is to praise the guests for being handsome and chic, Yushu...... Alas...... Never mind...... Gong Ci has eyes and no beads, and asks the prince to spare me once regardless of the villain."
Even if Gong Ci's brain is not as smart as her Sister Wan, she also knows the importance of Mobei, and she doesn't dare to offend this life-saving Buddha.
She was just about to kneel on the ground to plead guilty, but the prince of Hancang blocked Gong Ci's hand with the wine pot in his hand, signaling that she didn't need to be so formal, and then turned around and laughed with Mrs. Yulin: "The beauty looks delicate, I feel comfortable after being scolded twice, Mrs. Yulin, do you see if I'm sick?"
"The prince laughed."
Si Yulin's tone was helpless, this cold prince was chic and uninhibited, as soon as he entered the palace, he praised his people who were over half a hundred years old, if this matter was put thirty years ago, she would not be surprised, but now that she is so old, it is really a little difficult to resist.
"Lady Yulin doesn't like it, so I won't be joking."
Han Cang's tone was a little more serious, "You said that the one who took me to find the envoy couldn't be this palace girl, right?"
"Exactly."
"Envoy? What envoy?" Gong Ci didn't react.
"Since a few days ago, Bai Yu who took you and Ah Kui into the palace together." Mrs. Yulin said.
Gong Ci suddenly became enlightened, Mrs. Yulin wanted her to take this cold prince to meet Nanxing, she was happy, and was about to say something, when she saw Gong Wan by her side, she swallowed the words in her throat again, and smiled: "I understand, I'll go pack my bags immediately!"
"Wait!" Han Cang screamed to stop, he pinched his chin, and looked Gong Ci up and down, "Gong Ci girl is fairy and jade, she can be called a peerless beauty, I have been facing such a beautiful girl all the way, if I am not moved, it is an insult to the girl, if I am moved, I ......
Han Cang squeezed out a wry smile at Mrs. Yulin, leaned over and whispered, "I won't tell you, the inner person is very small-minded and has a hot temperament, I always have to leave a way for myself to live, right?"
"This ......"
"Don't get me wrong, a few beauties, I'm not afraid of guilt, I'm just ...... I'm just worried that my inner body will be sad! And besides......"
Han Cang looked at Gong Ci again, "The cities that pass through this way are all garrisoned by the Chiyuan Army, and the appearance of Gong Ci girl is too eye-catching, so don't have any more incidents then."
What Han Cang said was true, Si Yulin had also considered this matter, but now only Gong Ci knew Nanxing's appearance and identity, and the only person she could trust now was Gong Ci......
Just when Si Yulin was silent, Ah Kui suddenly ran forward, knelt on the ground and gestured.
Gong Ci knew Ah Kui's thoughts, and she didn't need Sister Wan's translation to explain, she knew what she wanted to say.
Gong Ci hurriedly said, "Mrs. Yulin, Ah Kui is the person brought by Bai Yu, if you believe her, please also trust Ah Kui once!"
Si Yulin was silent, this is not a trivial matter after all, she can't tolerate a little sloppiness in borrowing troops from Mobei.
She was thinking about it, but Han Cang seemed to be very satisfied with Ah Kui, "This little girl is good, she is young, and she is a beautiful embryo that has not yet grown, it is very pleasing to the eye, and I know a little sign language, and I will not be bored on the road, not bad, it's her!"
Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Han Cang took Ah Kui to leave the Ganquan royal capital at night.
The night in February was more dewy, Ah Kui rode on horseback but did not feel cold, she looked at the starry sky in the dome with a smile, and said in her heart: "Brother Bai Yu, you wait for me, Ah Kui is about to see you......
On the same night, while it was warm and cold, it was still cold and snowy, Si Nanyue sat at the table, her fingertips brushed over the bright red and luxurious wedding dress, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when Jiang Jifeng came to her with that dress two years ago.
"Little Moon, look!"
Jiang Jifeng jumped in from the window, as if holding a treasure, and delivered a smoky purple coat to her.
Si Nanyue was helpless, "The door is open, Young Master Jiang doesn't have to go through the window."
"I'm not in a hurry!" Jiang Jifeng couldn't wait to put the dress on her, "Let's try to see if it fits?"
Si Nanyue was in a fog, and before he could figure out why he suddenly sent a piece of clothing, he heard Xi Ming smile and said, "Where did the young master get this clothes, the stitches are crooked, the mistakes are outrageous, and even the sleeves are not ordinarily long...... Hey? Look, Miss, why are there two dead leaves embroidered on these sleeves?"
"What dead leaves!" Jiang Jifeng said dissatisfied, "This is clearly a double flying butterfly!"
Si Nanyue looked at Jiang Jifeng's appearance, and guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, Si Nanyue smiled, "I have always liked smoky purple dresses, Young Master Jiang has a heart, cherish the tea, help me put this dress away well."
After Ximing left, she asked with concern, "The young master was injured in order to make this dress, right?"
"Hah...... You've guessed it again." Jiang Jifeng pulled her to sit at the table, and said while pouring tea: "This is all a trivial matter, I originally planned to embroider two mandarin ducks on my clothes, but it is really too difficult, I will learn again, and I will make the wedding dress that Xiaoyue will wear on her wedding day!"
"Hah...... The young master is making fun of me again, you are a man, but you do this needlework every day, and you are not afraid of people's jokes?"
"Make a wedding dress for the moon in the sky, which is envied by many people, whoever wants to laugh, let him laugh!"
"The young master is an elegant man."
"That's ...... nature."
The spring light is warm, the green bamboo is green, the people in the house have no sad faces at this time, the two sit opposite each other and laugh, and the voice gradually disappears in the red, pink and green of March.
