[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

For a while, the two were deadlocked on the spot.

Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Ling's mind in an instant, but all of them disappeared in an instant.She regained her composure, took two steps back a little bit, still put on the guarded look before, and looked Emperor Kangxi up and down: "Do you know my father?"

Asking this sentence, she thought it over and over again in her heart.Emperor Kangxi must have met Lord Bodun, but not necessarily his daughter.Even if Kangxi had met that lord's daughter, but in just a few years, that lord's daughter might not necessarily recognize Kangxi.Furthermore, Emperor Kangxi definitely would not bother to remember the daughter of a courtier, unless that courtier is a close minister of the emperor, a confidant in his confidant, but it is a pity that Lord Bodun is not.So the most likely reason is that Lord Kangxi was surprised when he saw her attire just now, so he asked others a little.After inquiring, I found out the result of "the daughter of Mr. Bodun's family".

Therefore, Jiang Ling put on a guarded and hesitant look, stepped back a little, and looked at Emperor Kangxi.

This is the most normal reaction that a woman who lives in the capital temporarily and suddenly sees a boudoir woman who "may be her father's old friend, or maybe a stranger".Of course she could scream, but Emperor Kangxi had seen her during the day, so screaming was useless.

Emperor Kangxi naturally didn't know, at that moment, countless years flashed through Jiang Ling's mind.Seeing Jiang Ling's alert expression, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled kindly after a while, and said, "I once met your father once."

——Guess right.

Jiang Ling secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Kangxi stood motionless in front of her, with a straight posture, but he was trying his best to show the appearance of "an emperor who is used to being condescending, suddenly came out of the palace in low clothes and had to be approachable", but unfortunately he didn't look like it.

She was even more certain in her heart that Emperor Kangxi had never met that Daotai lady, otherwise his current reaction would not be to "disarm the woman in front of him", but to frown or reprimand him for being bold.With a little peace of mind, she took the courage to treat Kangxi as a strange man passing by by chance, and said with a somewhat guarded look: "Even if you have met my father, you should not stop my way on the way."

There was a bit of displeasure between the words, and there was also some faint fear.

Kangxi smiled.

He shook his head suddenly, his originally stiff expression gradually turned into a gentle arc under the moonlight.

"I'm not taking the liberty." Emperor Kangxi said, "I just passed by by chance, and I was a little surprised to see the daughter of the old man. The girl was dressed in plain clothes, and she was invited by the Ningguo Mansion to go to mourn the funeral. But I don't know if it is the Ningguo Mansion. Which of the wives has passed away?"

Jiang Ling returned to Qin Keqing's identity.Kangxi frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything more.Perhaps Jiang Ling's guarded expression was too obvious, Kangxi smiled again, stepped back a little, and said, "Miss, please go back."

Jiang Ling hurried past Kangxi, not even stopping for half a step.

After walking 300 meters away, Jiang Ling could vaguely see the outline of the shed, Jiang Ling was completely relieved, his tense expression relaxed, and secretly said it was a fluke.If today was not in the wilderness, but in the Zhongcui Palace when the election was to be held, I am afraid I would not have such good luck.She thought of the general election in March next year and the plant hormones that had no progress, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

Several hundred meters away from the colorful shed, Kangxi looked at the light of the candles in the distance, with a slight expression on his face.

Beside him was a young prince with a weak crown, who was the King of Beijing Shui Rong who performed the road sacrifice for Qin Keqing today.Shui Rong was holding a stack of thick documents, reporting something in detail, his expression was full of exhaustion.

After listening to his report, Kangxi suddenly asked, "How is Rongguo Mansion compared to Ningguo Mansion?"

Shui Rong was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why the emperor mentioned the Rongguo Mansion, but he answered truthfully: "It's just between brothers."

Kangxi repeatedly chewed on the words "Between Bozhong" and there was a playful smile in his eyes.He took out a document from Shui Rong's arms, tore it into strips in his hand, threw it into the unfinished candle beside him and burned it.In the slightly flickering flames, Emperor Kangxi said lightly: "From Jinling City to Yangzhou, all the way is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the place where salt merchants like to set up prefects. It's a pity that the two people I sent out, It's all folded there. Today Ningguo Mansion is sending off spirits, guess how many shady deals are there in private?"

Shui Rong respectfully said: "Excuse me, I don't know."

Emperor Kangxi pointed at the paperwork in his arms, playing with the smell: "So you are still a little tender, and it won't be too late to take care of the affairs of the Wang family and the Xue family when you get the order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow. The Xue family in Jinling has been the emperor's merchant, and I didn't know that such a big thing happened... Hehe, Mingzhu knew about it, but it's a pity that he kept it from me from the beginning, and he's like a stubborn donkey."

Shui Rong glanced at Kangxi quickly, then lowered his head again.

Kangxi put away that playful smile, looked at the candlelight from a distance, and said lightly: "Go back to the mansion. The key has been locked in the palace now, and I will stay at your mansion for two days. Palace. Burn all those secret papers that involve a lot, and don’t need them for the time being.”

Shui Rong said yes, and suddenly took out another note from the document, and wanted to hand it in, but hesitated.

Kangxi glanced at the cover of the booklet, and said with a smile: "Those old guys again? Let's go back as usual, and find something for them to do, so as not to worry about my private affairs all day long Just remind me that I'm a widower."

Shui Rong answered yes again, holding the large pile of documents, and walked slowly away beside Emperor Kangxi.

The current night is darker than before, and it is about two quarters of the unitary hour.Jiang Ling followed Mrs. Wang, went to the coffin and cried once more, burned three sticks of incense, copied a scroll of the Great Compassion Mantra, and finally recited a section of Buddhist scriptures silently before finishing.Mrs. Wang is a vegetarian and recites Buddhism, these things are completely familiar, and she is very familiar with them; Jiang Ling has never done these tasks in her previous life and this life, so she couldn't help but slow down, so she attracted a good reprimand from Mrs. Wang.

After finally finishing their work, all the people dragged their tired bodies back to the city and home.

Originally, according to the rules of Jingli, the city gate should be locked with a key.But because of the special status of the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion, accompanied by several concubines and Belle Fujin, the guard at the gate of the city gave a little grace for two hours, and waited for the servants of the Jia Mansion to come back before the general was released. city ​​gate.

Speechless for a while.

When Jiang Ling returned to the house, she was suddenly stopped by Mrs. Wang from behind:

"From now on, you will be the lady of the Daotai mansion during the day and the servant girl of the mansion at night."

This is upside down.

Jiang Ling didn't have time to think about what Mrs. Wang's intention was in these words.She is really exhausted.Since early morning today, I have been crying outside with Mrs. Wang, standing for a whole day, except for drinking some clear water occasionally on the way, almost not a drop of water or a grain of rice.As soon as I got back to the house, I felt tired and sleepy. I drank two bowls of milk, rinsed my mouth and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was not yet dawn, and the little maids were silent, most of them were already fast asleep.

Jiang Ling has a bad habit. Once woken up in the middle of the night, he can't sleep all night (this is also one of the sequelae brought about by the end of the world).She lay tossing and turning for a while, but she felt more and more awake as she lay down, so she simply got up on tiptoe, took the rhombic mirror on the desk and pointed it at herself.After a familiar white light, she disappeared into the room.

The eyes are full of familiar barrenness and desolation, and the flying dust fills the air, which makes people cough again and again.Jiang Ling tightly grasped the Linghua mirror, wrapped herself in the cotton coat, and continued to search for life in the last days.After falling into the long nuclear winter, cotton coats have become a necessity in the last days. When Jiang Ling went into and out of the last days, he also prepared a set for himself in case of emergencies.

But it's really cold here, even in the daytime, the sun is dim, without any glare.As far as the eye can see, apart from a piece of dilapidated steel and concrete, and the rotting creatures that occasionally shuttle through the streets, there are no other species.She looked around and watched her feet carefully, trying to find a new plant or two so that she could try the effect of the mutant hormone.

Jiang Ling is not a botanist, nor a student of the Department of Botany, so she can only search slowly in the last days, like a blind man touching an elephant, looking for some green plants around the random landing place, and then sorting and burning them.Sometimes with luck, one or two mutated hormone crystals can be burned; but more often, there is nothing but a small pile of ashes blown by the wind.

Today she was lucky and found a small yellow/color flower that she had never seen before.

Jiang Ling had never seen this kind of small flower, and he didn't quite understand the classification of plants, so he could only simply classify it as a strange plant.She carefully collected the petals, branches and leaves of some small flowers, gathered them in the corner of the wall, took out the torch and lit them, and after a while, she found faint yellow/color crystal fragments in the ashes, in clusters, glowing in the sun. With fragments of light.

Because of the fear of poisonous plants, a series of actions from picking to burning to collecting are all carried out with gloves.

Although there are no rubber gloves in the world of Red Mansions, they are better than nothing.

Jiang Ling put those fine crystals back into the porcelain vase, and pointed the front of the Linghua mirror at himself.After a familiar white light passed, she returned to the room again, and the crystals in the porcelain bottle were also purified into a liquid state.She glanced out of the window, and the morning star in the east was already shining brightly, and it was evident that it was almost dawn.

Thinking that she didn't have to go to the dick again during the day, she nestled in the room, tossing and turning that hormone.

Jiang Ling rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room until the sun was high.Before leaving, she glanced at the front of the Linghua mirror, and found that she was full of energy, even the dark circles under her eyes disappeared without a trace, and the fatigue from staying up for half a night seemed to have disappeared.

This hormone? ...

She froze for a moment, went back to the house and took out the bottle of plant hormones, thinking of trying it outside, suddenly heard the sound of crackling porcelain falling to the ground in Mrs. Wang's room:

"You...you go and call me Sister Feng, hurry up!"

Slightly weak and out of breath, as if he had received a great blow.
