Chapter Seventy-Eight: Gifting the Jade Seal and Persuading Jia Sheng to Speak to the Matchmaker
It turned out that the reason why Chu Qing was in a hurry to walk away was because he wanted to go to the Nine Lotus Summit to see Tu Kun. Everyone galloped eastward all the way, and arrived at the foot of the Nine Lotus Peak after about half an hour.
Like last time, I still looked for the tavern on the side of the road in the countryside. Everyone sat down to rest for a while, and Ni was ordered to go to Yuhuaguan and called Tu Kun.
Chu Qing saw a smile on his face, and presented a package of gift money to Tu Kun.
Tu Kun pretended to excuse himself before accepting it. When he heard that Tu Kun had determined the specific location of the treasure house, Chu Qing was quite excited and said with a smile: "Great! After the matter is completed, you and I will divide this treasure and half equally. ”
Tu Kun restrained his smile after hearing this, and said that without the key, it would be difficult to open the treasure house.
"Key ......" Chu Qing was stunned when he heard it.
"That's right, it's the only way to enter the treasure trove." Tu Kun said.
"The key, where is it?"
"Don't worry, Childe, this key may have been seen by Childe." Tu Kun blinked.
"This ......" Chu Qing was confused.
"I remember that when Master met Li Yunhan, he mentioned the fish dragon jade pendant on him several times......"
"Jade pendant ......" Chu Qing suddenly felt his eyes light up when he heard it.
"Yes, Tu is just speculating;" Tu Kun paused, "As for whether it is the key or not, I can only know by trying." ”
Chu Qing pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said that the matter of the jade pendant would be handed over to him.
Since Shaoling was in distress in the Jinyuan Academy, Li Yunhan was quite uneasy about this, worried that he would implicate Shang Miaojin. He rested for a few days and saw that there was no movement, so he ordered Cen Feng to find Miaojin and ask her to meet her at the Fengyi Pavilion in Qujiang.
Cen Feng carried a basket of flowers and walked around along the concert hall, but he didn't find anything unusual. When she was about to step forward and knock on the door, she suddenly saw Luo Feng galloping from a distance, so she hurriedly dodged.
For several days, Miao Jin was worried that the assassination would be exposed, and he was restless. In the afternoon, she walked in the garden to relax, and then sat alone under the pavilion and looked at the shrunken and dry yellow flowers and plants in the corner of the wall in a daze.
She was contemplating, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw her father entering the courtyard with a smile on his face, she was stunned, and stepped forward to ask.
Luo Feng smiled and said: "It's okay now, thanks to the help of the Yuan Gang Master, the murderer has been found." ”
"Really?" Miaojin was taken aback.
"Hmm; Two men died by the Wei River, and my father identified them and confirmed that they were the two thieves. ”
"They're dead......"
"Well, or someone will kill you."
Luo Feng told the trip to the Weihe River in detail that day, and Miaojin was relieved to hear it, and said that it was great. She was thinking about telling Yun Han the good news, when suddenly Ah Chun came to report that there was a woman surnamed Cen outside the door and wanted to see her.
Miaojin hurriedly went out of the mansion after hearing this, and when she understood her intentions, she readily agreed, and left the concert hall with Cen Feng.
When he arrived at the Qujiang Pond, he looked up and saw Li Yunhan standing alone under the Fengyi Pavilion, his figure like a wicker swaying in the cold wind.
After meeting, Li Yunhan said to Miaojin gently: "It's really shameful that I accidentally affected you and your family this time. ”
"Don't worry," Miao Jinliu raised her eyebrows, "My father said that the murderer has been killed, and he is finally fine." “
"The murderer is dead......
"Hmm." Miaojin nodded, "It was Yuan Chong who found it; Said that the murderer was related to the Forbidden Army......"
"Oh, I see." Li Yunhan seemed to have an understanding when he heard this.
After being silent for a moment, Miaojin frowned and said, "This case is over, but Chu Qing is still forced to marry......
"This," Li Yunhan felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, and silently looked at the low-hanging withered willows on the shore.
Seeing this, Cen Feng found an excuse to leave.
Miaojin leaned close to Li Yunhan and said softly: "I want to stay away from the capital with you, the farther away the better." ”
"Well, I don't want to stay away from this place, but ......"
"But what, if you agree, we will leave tomorrow, visit the mountains and rivers to find a quiet place to live in seclusion......"
"Let's go, of course it's easy." Li Yunhan stared at her, "But will Chu Qing let your family go?" ”
"Then take your father and mother with you."
"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes; It's just that the government is corrupt and traitorous has not been eliminated, and I still don't want to ......."
"Cutting off the traitors, that's the matter of the imperial court," Miaojin's tone was slightly resentful, "Besides, you've done a lot for them, why don't you get out of this fire pit as soon as possible?" ”
"Maybe, maybe the moth throwing fire is my destination......"
Miao Jin's eyes widened and said, "No, you are an eagle, let you soar under the nine heavens, no one can stop you!" ”
"Yes, I am an eagle; But before the prey is captured, it is destined to be lonely and helpless......"
"Isn't there still me?" Miao Jin said close to Li Yunhan's chest, staring at him stupidly, "Heaven and earth are so big, how can they not tolerate you and me!" ”
When the eyes of the two were intertwined, it seemed to produce a magical power, instantly merging the two into one, and there was no distinction between you and me......
At this time, Wang Jie happened to pass by with his bags on his back, and saw the intimate figures of the two from a distance, and couldn't help but stop. He hesitated for a moment, then stubbornly walked over.
It turned out that Wang Jie's parents and younger brother had entered Beijing, and the family's population had increased sharply, and he had purchased a grange in Gongchuan before, so he was suddenly short of money. Fortunately, he has a hand in carving skills, and in his spare time, he went to the East Market to buy some jade from Khotan and Shoushan, and carved some seals to sell them to supplement his family.
Li Yunhan was a little embarrassed when he saw Wang Jie, and hurriedly threw away Miaojin. After a few words of greeting, he asked him about Princess Pingyu.
Wang Jie smiled sadly when he heard this, and said: "Cutting constantly, and the reason is still messy, I really regret not being at the beginning." ”
"The huge capital, I can't afford to provoke and hide!" Miao Jin sneered, "To put it bluntly, you are still greedy for official positions and don't dare to offend her." ”
"The girl is wrong, I have long been indifferent to the official career. With my talents, I can't mix a mouthful of food anywhere. ”
"And why?"
"The reason why I swallowed my anger and did this Taile Cheng is not because I want to do something for the East Palace."
"Then bear with it." Li Yunhan slowed down, glanced at the bag on his shoulder, and asked him to engrave two more seals, "One elegant medal, 'Fortune Qitian'; ”
Wang Jie was shocked when he heard this: "'Baimingtang,' that is not Jia Sheng's fasting number......"
"That's right, it's for him."
"Why is he again, a snob who deceives and hides from the powerful."
"Don't be serious; There are some things that can't be done without him. ”
"Alas, Brother Li doesn't know; The last time you gave him that "Hundred Miles Picture", who knew that the next day he sold it, and made a net profit of thirty taels of silver. Wang Jie's face drooped, "Now let me engrave him again, isn't this a pure trick on me?!" ”
"No, this time it's for you."
"...... for me"
"Hmm." Li Yunhan nodded, leaned into Wang Jie's ear and said in detail; Wang Jie listened and asked a few more questions before dispelling his doubts.
Li Yunhan returned to Zhiyuan, lay down in the bedroom and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard Du Miao's laughter outside the window, and he couldn't help frowning.
It turned out that Du Miao came to Beijing to buy some meat and spices for the Pomegranate Inn, and came to Zhiyuan to visit Shaoling.
Li Yunhan got up and walked out of the bedroom, chatted with Du Miao for a few words, and asked about Xiao Nan's current situation. After asking, he said that he wanted to take Du Miao to visit Jia Sheng.
Du Miao became interested when he heard this, and said that he hadn't seen Jia Sheng for more than half a year, so he just went to drink and talk.
The two arrived at Jiafu and sat in the living room waiting. Jia Sheng was training cockfighting in the backyard, and it took about a pillar of incense before he swaggered in.
The three of them met and exchanged pleasantries slightly, Du Miao couldn't bear it for a while, and babbled about the old things that the two of them used to fight on the streets of Chang'an; Jia Sheng saw that he had been found out, and he was very uncomfortable for a while.
Seeing this, Li Yunhan hurriedly interrupted Du Miao's words, and said to Jia Sheng: "Brother Jia, I heard that the "Baisheng Map" sold for a good price......
"Hey, how can you blame me." Jia Sheng rolled his eyelids, "King Hui couldn't put it down when he saw this painting, and said that he would bring it back to the palace to enjoy it, but who expected that he would not return it." As for me, I didn't get a tael of silver. ”
"Don't be blinded, Wang Jie is still angry with me for this." Li Yunhan said.
"He dares! What is it to pretend to be high? If it weren't for Brother Li's face, Jia would have sent him away a long time ago. ”
"Brother Jia misunderstood; I wanted to ask you to persuade Princess Pingyu to stop looking for Wang Jie, but it backfired. ”
"How could I not persuade!" Jia Sheng seemed to be full of grievances, "The princess's stubborn temper became angry as soon as she said it, and she almost burned me out." ”
"Really?"
"Well, she's stuck too deep for anyone to say! His Majesty was anxious about this, and was thinking of finding her a family affair. ”
"It's good to find a family affair and empathize with other lovers;" Li Yunhan listened to the plan, and said slowly, "Is there a suitable person?" ”
"According to the princess's temperament, if you want to find a suitable one, it is difficult to climb to the sky!"
"It's not that hard." Li Yunhan smiled indifferently, "There is a ready-made one right now, and it is a good match." ”
"Who?"
"Chu-Qing." Li Yunhan eased down, "As for this matter, it would be better if Brother Jia would make the match." ”
Jia Sheng was quite disappointed when he heard this, "Don't be kidding; The two of them, there is too much difference in age alone! ”
"You don't want to talk about ......"
"What about this medium, I really can't say." Jia Shengsi's head shook like a rattle, "These two, one is a dragon and the other is a tiger; What am I? A little lamb sandwiched in the middle, if you don't do it, this little life will be gone. ”
"Brother Jia is too worried." Li Yunhan took a sip of tea, "If this matter is successful, not only will it be a matter of His Majesty's heart, but it can also be used to win over Chu Mohan and make him more loyal to the imperial court." ”
Li Yunhan said and took out the two seals and placed them in front of Jia Sheng: "This seal is engraved by Wang Jie, and it is made of high-grade Shoushan stone seed material. ”
Jia Sheng hesitated, picked it up and looked at it carefully, then put it down again, and said, "'Baiming Hall', for me?" ”
"That's right; As long as you can lure the princess away, this seal will be yours. ”
When Jia Sheng heard this, he suddenly realized, and said coldly: "It turns out that you are here!" ”
Li Yunhan said "um", seeing that he was hesitant for a while, he took the seal and shook it gently, and said, "What about this medium, what about you say no?" ”
Jia Sheng thought that this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions and invite pets, so he accepted it ruthlessly, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, you just wait for good news." ”
After bidding farewell to Li and Du, Jia Sheng sat down and meditated for a while, and then went out of the door, and went to Yang's mansion in a light car.
Yang Silang was quite unhappy when he saw Jia Sheng coming empty-handed, and complained that he didn't come to see him often for months? Jia Sheng hurriedly apologized when he heard this, saying that there were many things to do at the end of the year, and he had to not only deal with the assessment of the officials, but also rehearse the program and organize various performances...... As a result, there are fewer visits.
Yang Silang said "um", and asked what was abnormal in the palace recently?
Jia Sheng thought for a while, and said that a few days ago, the prince had gone to the Taile Department to interview Wang Jie; He couldn't hear what the two were talking about because of the window......
"It seems that Yang didn't guess wrong, Lefang is their intelligence transfer station." Yang Silang got up and paced a few steps, turned his head, and said fiercely, "This prime minister ordered you, be sure to get rid of Wang Jie." ”
Jia Sheng shuddered when he heard this, and said: "Wang Lecheng is extremely talented, and he is good at organizing various performances, so he can't leave him." ”
"You're reluctant to do it?"
"This ......" Jia Shengne was stunned for a moment, and seeing that his eyes were vicious, he had to nod and agree.
Yang Silang stretched and asked him if there was anything else?
Jia Sheng said "um" and stretched his neck, "That Chu Qing, do you remember it?" ”
"He, of course, remembers."
"I'm worried that he won't succumb to a little servant, maybe one day he will be unhappy and raise his feet and return to Yuyang, it will be a tiger returning to the mountain."
Yang Silang listened to the gloomy face, sighed lightly, and said, "Alas, this is also what the prime minister is worried about. ”
Jia Sheng hurriedly said that he had a plan; Isn't the saint worried about Princess Pingyu's marriage? If you can marry the princess to Chu Qing, why can't you tie him.
"This ......," Yang Silang was shocked when he heard this.
"The princess is as fierce as a tiger, only she can control Chu Qing, a wild dog!" Jia Shengdao.
"Jia Sheng, you can figure it out." Yang Silang's face darkened, "In case the princess doesn't take a fancy to it, what can I do?" ”
"Don't worry, adults." Jia Sheng took a step closer, "What about this matter, and leave it to Your Majesty to say; Even if the princess is not happy, she will not blame you. ”
Yang Silang was still a little hesitant when he heard this, and said, "In case the marriage is completed, aren't you afraid that the two of them will work together to deal with the true appearance?" ”
"Didn't the adults want to tie Chu Qing?" Jia Sheng smiled, "As for the future, let's take one step at a time." ”
"Well, as long as I can hold this kid tightly in my hand, I have made up my mind." Yang Silang said hatefully.
