Chapter 16 Riding the Horse
"The concubine has seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."
"Flatten, sit."
Jiang Yuhuan stood up, she was dressed in palace clothes, which was not as convenient as usual, and her movements were a little slower.
After she walked to the chair and sat down, the Queen Mother continued: "The mourning family is in charge of their own affairs, Yu Huan won't blame her, right?" ”
"Naturally not. The concubine has long been tired of the identity of the concubine, and she has to suffer from white eyes wherever she goes, but now that she has such a noble status, the concubine thanks the queen mother. ”
The Queen Mother smiled, "I said don't give birth, call the mourning family and my aunt." ”
Jiang Yuhuan was as kind as flowing, "Yes, aunt." ”
"After you left yesterday, the mourning family thought about it, and you were bullied because of the low status of a concubine. If you are a concubine, the king of the county will weigh what he does to you, and others will not dare to be disrespectful to you. In this way, there is no need to think about leaving. ”
"Yes...... The concubine couldn't repay it, and she was really ashamed of her kindness to her aunt. ”
"The mourning family did this, not to ask for anything in return."
Yesterday, she also hinted in every possible way that she would be an undercover agent in the county king's mansion to find evidence of the crime, and she won't ask for anything in return today?
Jiang Yuhuan couldn't figure out the queen mother's thoughts, and said tentatively: "But the ambition of the king of the county wolf has always been a big trouble. ”
Seeing that Jiang Yuhuan took the initiative to mention this matter, the Queen Mother was really a little surprised.
She said: "It's the mourning family, you are just a weak woman, you shouldn't let you get into danger." If you are still comfortable in the county king's mansion, you can live a good life. ”
The Queen Mother made a fuss, which made Jiang Yuhuan dizzy.
Is it to get away with her, or is it really not going to take advantage of her?
What is the purpose of giving her the position of princess of the county? Seeing that she doesn't want to do things for her, and wants to get rid of her by the hand of the concubine?
She was puzzled in her heart, and continued to throw the bait, "Can ...... Yesterday, the king of the county planned to kill me, if it wasn't for Yi's decree in time, Yu Huan would probably ......"
The Queen Mother was furious, and the steps on her head trembled, "Did he really do this to you?" ”
Jiang Yuhuan deliberately exposed the scratches of the sword on his neck, "Hmm." ”
When the Queen Mother saw the injury, she frowned, as if she was really worried about Jiang Yuhuan.
She said earnestly: "Then you have to be more careful, don't go head-to-head with the county king." ”
Jiang Yuhuan was even more confused, she put the words to her mouth, and the Queen Mother didn't want to stuff people around her.
"The concubines follow the teachings of the Queen Mother."
"The mourning family is a little tired, so go back."
"Yes."
Jiang Yuhuan withdrew from Shouning Palace in a daze, and the Queen Mother's move was really confusing.
She's not a person who embarrasses herself, so she can't figure it out and put it aside.
She went back the way she came, and halfway through it was to realize that there was no one with her.
secretly sighed that although she has the identity of the princess of the county, no one takes her seriously.
She continued to walk forward, but met Jiang Qiao when she left the palace gate.
She didn't want to talk to Jiang Qiao's eccentric eye, and she didn't like to hear it.
She pretended not to see it, and walked out of the palace gate without squinting.
But Jiang Qiao was unconscious, thinking that Jiang Yuhuan didn't see him, and while shouting Jiang Yuhuan's name, he trotted to catch up.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Jiang Yuhuan frowned impatiently and ran along.
Her carriage was parked at the palace gate, and she carried her heavy garments, and her calves were fluttering rapidly.
Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer, he flew directly into the carriage, "Go!" ”
The coachman did not ask why, waved his whip, and the horses ran quickly.
Sanqi watched Jiang Yuhuan tidy up his messy hair expressionlessly, and he was not curious about Jiang Yuhuan's strange behavior.
Jiang Yuhuan took off his palace clothes and changed into ordinary clothes.
She lifted the curtain and saw that she was already some distance away from the palace gate, and Jiang Qiao didn't catch up, showing a smug smile.
Looking at the bustle on the streets, I remembered that I hadn't seriously visited the streets of the capital, so I stopped the carriage and got out of the car to wander.
There are many stalls on the street selling strange things, eating, playing, and decorating, she looks left and right, and finally falls in love with a hairpin.
The seller of the stall was a woman in her early thirties, and when she saw Jiang Yuhuan staring at her, she said enthusiastically, "Madam, you can wear it and take a look." ”
"Okay."
Jiang Yuhuan faced the bronze mirror and inserted the hairpin into his hair.
The hairpin is made of wood and the carving is exquisite.
Although it is slightly inferior to the silver jewelry on his head, Jiang Yuhuan likes it at a glance.
She doesn't like such a grand dress in her heart, and prefers this kind of hairpin.
"Boss, how much is this?"
The proprietress smiled and stretched out a palm, "Five hundred wen." ”
Jiang Yuhuan was a little moved, she turned her head to look at Sanqi, "Sanqi, do I have money to spend?" ”
"It stands to reason that there is."
"Then you can lend me 500 Wen, and I'll go back and pay you back."
"The slave and maid only have two pieces of silver."
Jiang Yuhuan pursed her lips regretfully, turned back to the proprietress and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't bring enough money." ”
Reluctantly, she put the hairpin back, and suddenly a hand reached out from her side and placed the silver on the table.
"Wrap it up, I'll pay for her."
Jiang Yuhuan turned his head, saw that it was Qi Yi, and hurriedly said, "No need, I don't want it." ”
Qi Yi took the hairpin and handed it to her, "It's an apology, I said last time I would come to apologize, but I haven't been available." ”
"That's what Qi Xiaoyu did, and it has nothing to do with you." Jiang Yuhuan has clear grievances.
"As an older brother, I have a responsibility for discipline. Take it, don't shirk. ”
Qi Yi's attitude was resolute, Jiang Yuhuan couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "I'll exchange things with you!" ”
She took the hairpin and groped on her body, but was stopped by Sanqi, "Princess Jun, this move is inappropriate, there is a suspicion of giving it to each other privately." ”
Jiang Yuhuan was stunned, because she forgot that she couldn't accept men's things casually in ancient times.
She smiled awkwardly and returned the hairpin, "Let's take it back." ”
This time Qi Yi didn't insist, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." ”
"Don't be sorry. If Qi Gongzi is fine, I will leave first. ”
"Okay."
Jiang Yuhuan bowed his head and crossed Qi Yi and continued to walk forward.
As soon as she took two steps, she heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves, and she reached out and pulled Sanqi to prepare to dodge.
"Be careful!"
She heard Qi Yi shout, and then fell into an embrace, and was carried out a few feet away.
"No offense, please forgive me." Before Jiang Yuhuan could react, Qi Yi immediately let go of his hand and looked at her nervously.
"It's okay, thank you."
Jiang Yuhuan smiled, as if a ray of sunshine shone into Qi Yi's heart.
He served in the Five Cities Terracotta Division and saved many young ladies from the family.
Those who knew the situation of his family avoided him like a snake and scorpion, and never even said a word of thanks, as if they would be entangled by him if they talked to him.
didn't know about his family's situation, but smiled at him attentively, and even stalked him at the expense of his reputation, which made him miserable.
He hesitated for a moment when he saw the horses galloping, but in the end, the good thoughts in his heart prevailed.
After saving Jiang Yuhuan, he was also afraid that Jiang Yuhuan would speak ill of him and scold him for becoming a disciple.
Unexpectedly, he got a sincere smile, and at that moment he realized that it wasn't him who thought about it, and the smiles he saw before were all fake.
Jiang Yuhuan didn't notice Qi Yi's stunned expression, and focused on looking for Sanqi's figure in the crowd.
She saw that Sanqi was also looking for her, and hurriedly beckoned, "Sanqi, I'm here!" ”
"The bracelet on your hand."
Jiang Yuhuan turned his head, "Huh? What's wrong? ”
"Did you accidentally bump into it, there was a gap."
She looked at Qi Yi, said "oh", and explained: "No, this bracelet was originally missing, and it was given to me by the second lady of the British Mansion." ”
Hearing this, Qi Yi frowned, "Second Mrs. Luo has always been thoughtful, how could she give a bracelet with a notch?" ”
"At that time, I was in a hurry, and when she sent it, she specially asked me to make up for it."
After Jiang Yuhuan finished explaining to Second Lady Luo, he suddenly grabbed the key to Qi Yi's words, "Wait, you mean that Second Lady is very thoughtful?" ”
"Well, she has an excellent reputation in the capital, and she won't do such a rude thing."
The reputation was excellent, but at the risk of damaging the reputation, he insisted on giving her the broken bracelet and asked her to repair it......
Jiang Yuhuan had a flash of inspiration, "Do you know where there is a place to mend bracelets?" I mean, the capital is very famous. ”
"Yes, not far ahead. It is called Yumingxuan, and it is a jade shop with good repair skills. ”
"Okay, thank you. Why hasn't Sanqi come yet, I'll go look for her. Leave. ”
Jiang Yuhuan ran away after speaking, leaving Qi Yi to stand and open his mouth, wanting to speak and stopping, and finally everyone walked away before he silently spit out a "good" word.
Jiang Yuhuan returned to Sanqi and saw that Sanqi was examining a little girl's injuries.
"What's wrong? Hurt? ”
"There's a bit of a scrape on the back of my hand."
"Let's take it to the hospital."
At this time, the little girl's mother ran over, she picked up the little girl, "No, no, this little injury will be fine in a few days, thank you." ”
San72 didn't say a word and took out the silver, "I have two coins of silver, you take her to the hospital to see her injuries." ”
"This ......," the woman hesitated.
Jiang Yuhuan persuaded: "Take it." ”
"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor, you are such a wonderful person."
As she spoke, the woman was about to kowtow to Sanqi when she held the little girl.
Sanqi held her hand and helped her up, "I was hit just now, so let the hospital see if there are any other injuries." ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
The woman took the money and took the little girl and left.
Jiang Yuhuan stared at Sanqi scrutinically.
Sanqi was indifferent, and only asked calmly, "What is the princess of the county looking at?" ”
"Look at you. You look at the board at a glance, you didn't expect it to be so loving. ”
"These are the teachings of the master."
"Fu Last? Is he so kind? ”
Jiang Yuhuan really found it difficult to associate the people who shouted and killed every day with the word kindness.
"Master, he just has a clear grudge."
"Stop, that's it." It's not kind to her as an "enemy", she understands.
"Let's go, let's go to Yumingxuan."
On the way, Jiang Yuhuan asked about the horse and learned that the man had an urgent report from the barracks, and the person who was hit did not dare to reason with others.
Jiang Yuhuan was dissatisfied that the man didn't even have a basic apology for hitting people, and also lamented the humility of the people under power.
Jiang Yuhuan was talking throughout the whole process, Sanqi just listened, didn't speak, and didn't express his thoughts.
In Jiang Yuhuan's stand-up comedy, the two arrived at Yumingxuan.
"Ma'am, what do you want to see?"
Jiang Yuhuan showed the blood jade bracelet in his hand, "My bracelet is a little damaged, I don't know if I can repair it." ”
The guy looked proud, "Madame has found the right place, this jade repair, our Yu Mingxuan is the first one in the capital!" ”
"Then please help me to see, how to make up for this, and how long will it take to make it up?"
The guy waved his hand, "This little man can't see it." Wait, I'll call the shopkeeper out. ”
"Okay."
After a while, the guy walked out with a middle-aged man.
"Madame, take off the bracelet and show it to me."
"Okay." Jiang Yuhuan took off the bracelet and deliberately showed the gap to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the bracelet and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became.
