Yang Ruoning Chapter 23
The autumn Bianliang is less sticky and hot, and the breeze is also a little cool. The time for the winter book exposé in the palace is almost up.
This exposé is a day for the palace library to sort out the royal collection. Originally, this exposé was only held in late spring and early summer, and the purpose was to take out paper or silk collections and dry them to prevent mold. And most of these books are royal collections, mortals are rare to see, more than two hours of exposure of the book will obviously not be able to enjoy the fun, the emperor simply changed to twice a year.
Luo Yuan took the post and glanced at it, frowning slightly.
"This year is a bit special, I can actually bring a female dependent," he glanced at Yang Ruoning and said.
Since that day in Dali Temple, Qingye has not been seen again. He was confined to the Jongmyo Temple. Thinking about being able to see Qingye, Yang Ruoning was a little looking forward to it. She finally had a chance to go to the palace to have a look.
Luo Yuan invited the best tailor in the city the next day and measured the two of them. After the tailor was gone, the shopkeeper of the silver house came with a large box of jewels and gold ornaments. He filled the table with those dazzling gold, silver and jewelry, and waited for Yang Ruoning to choose with a smile.
But this time, Yang Ruoning refused. She said to Luo Yuan, forget about jewelry, she doesn't like it.
The shopkeeper was stunned, probably Yang Ruoning was the first woman to refuse his jewelry. "Doesn't the girl have a liking? I'll send Xiao Er back to get some more. ”
"No, no, these jewelry are too heavy, and I will have cervical spondylosis when I wear them," Yang Ruoning said.
Luo Yuan picked up a white jade hairpin from the table, and the hairpin was plain and elegant.
"That's it," he handed the hairpin to Yang Ruoning, "There always has to be something decent to coil up your hair, and you can't still have a wooden chopstick stuck in the palace." ”
"Well, yes," Yang Ruoning took over.
The shopkeeper immediately responded, "Lord Luo is really good-looking, this hairpin is made of good Hetian white jade, it is really suitable for girls." ”
A few days later, what was sent to Luofu was not Luo Yuan's custom-made clothes, but a large camphor wood box sent by Qingye. The box exudes the botanical fragrance peculiar to wood, and is engraved with intricate patterns and gold threads and gemstones. Yang Ruoning gasped when she saw the contents of the box.
The box was full of jewelry. Pearls, precious stones, gold, glass, agate, all shimmered so brightly that you can't open your eyes. Underneath the jewels is a luxurious dress embroidered with gold thread. The buttons on it are embroidered, and they are gorgeous.
However, Yang Ruoning couldn't laugh or cry, why does Qingye's aesthetic level have a feeling of nouveau riche?
At the top of the box, there is a note with a line of words written on it. Yang Ruoning recognized it for a long time, but he was not sure what it meant, and it happened that Luo Yuan went down to return home. When he entered the door, he saw the wooden box on the table, and asked, "Is this something from the palace?" ”
"Well, yes," Yang Ruoning said again, opening the box, "Look, this is sent by Qingye." What do you think of his taste? ”
"Well, there are so many colors that it's like walking into a spring imperial garden," Luo Yuan glanced at the contents of the box and said lightly.
"Haha, you think so too, don't you?" Yang Ruoning smiled. She handed the note in her hand to Luo Yuan, "You help me see, what does what he wrote?" ”
Luo Yuan took it, he looked at the content of the note, and then read it, "I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I won't forget each other for a long time." ”
"What do these words mean, do you mean that we haven't seen each other for a long time, don't forget me?"
Luo Yuan paused for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
Yang Ruoning nodded, "Well, this kid still remembers me, especially the money he still owes me." Do you think this pearl hairpin is worth fifteen taels? ”
Luo Yuan said, "Well, it should be worth it." ”
"Very well, I'll keep this, and I'll pay back my money. The rest is too valuable, and we will return it to him when we enter the palace to see him. ”
"What the emperor gave you, how can there be any reason to return it?"
"Huh? Really, is this one mine? Yang Ruoning frowned and looked at the box of jewelry, "But I don't need it." Or... I sell them? “
Luo Yuan said with a smile, "This royal thing, I'm afraid that ordinary pawnshops don't dare to accept it." ”
"Can't sell it? Qingye, he really doesn't know how to give gifts," Yang Ruoning said distressedly. She suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pointed to the box and asked Luo Yuan, "General Luo, do you have any fancies?" Sell you cheaply! ”
"What do you want money for?" Luo Yuan asked her suddenly.
"Oh, it's just that Qingye gave me a white jade plaque before, and I was short of money at the time, so I should give it to someone else. Now that I have the money, I want to redeem it. ”
"Aono gave you his white jade waist card?" Hearing this, Luo Yuan became a little nervous, "Are there two five-clawed auspicious dragons on it?" ”
Yang Ruoning lowered her head and looked at the box of jewelry, and replied casually, "Yes, it seems to be." It's worth a lot, and I made forty taels of silver. ”
"Oops, you idiot," Luo Yuan tapped her on the head with a fan.
It didn't hurt, but Yang Ruoning complained a little angrily, "Why do you say I'm stupid again?" ”
"That waist card is not a casual thing, like the sword of the monk, it is a symbol of the emperor's status. Shang Fang's sword can still be lent temporarily, but the waist card cannot be left from his body. Seeing the waist card is like seeing the emperor in person. You and Qingye, one dares to send it out, and the other dares to take it in, it's really nonsense. ”
Yang Ruoning felt a little confused. She was vaguely aware that she seemed to be inadvertently in trouble. But then she thought, I'm a foreigner, I don't know about it. It's all Aono's fault, why did he mortgage such a valuable thing to himself?
"I can't get it back yet," she said.
When Luo Yuan dragged her to find the shopkeeper of the newspaper, the shopkeeper who had always looked down on people was frightened, lying on the ground and trembling and said to Luo Yuan that a while ago, he gave away the white jade card, but the man saw at a glance that it was not a mortal thing, and it was said that it had been taken by the prime minister.
"Taken by the Prime Minister?" When the two of them walked out of the lobby of the newspaper office, Yang Ruoning asked Luo Yuan, "Is that already back in Qingye's hands?" ”
"Looks like yes. Thankful for the unfortunate. ”
"Will it cause trouble for Aono? He has been copying Buddhist scriptures in the ancestral hall for a long time. Yang Ruoning said worriedly.
When Luo Yuan heard this, he stopped, "It seems that Qingye is very good to you." ”
Yang Ruoning stopped and looked at Luo Yuan, "Qingye is just a child. ”
"But it doesn't seem that he thinks so."
"Don't worry," Yang Ruoning patted Luo Yuan's shoulder, "I'm not interested in those harem concubines or anything, Qingye knows, I don't think he will suddenly recruit me into the palace to do a harem." If he really does this, I will try my best to climb over the wall," Yang Ruoning pretended to be distressed and thought for a moment, "When the time comes, let's elope together, okay?" ”
