Floating Life and White Head
Chapter 29
The news of Hang Jiaxiuying's entry into the palace reached Qian Bao'er's ears. When she first learned about it, her heart was full of joy, and she finally couldn't get involved anymore.Because of kindness, he felt sympathy for her for a moment, and felt the heart to visit Hang Jiaxiuying.The moment she saw Hang Jiaxiuying, she turned pale with fright. The person in front of her was far from the usual Hang Jiaxiuying, haggard and miserable.Pale and lifeless.
"Bao'er, I didn't expect you to come." Hang Jiaxiuying forced a smile.
"For such a big event, I should come to visit. If we meet later, we will lose one side."
"I thought you would make trouble, but it seems that I have a villain's heart."
Qian Bao'er sneered and said, "I should be happy, now you can no longer snatch Yulin from me, and that cup of tea is even more saved."
"It didn't go as planned, and I got what I wanted. Bao'er, I envy you, no, to be precise, I'm jealous. I'm jealous that you occupy Yulin's whole heart. For so many years, he doesn't want to give me anything."
"Now, have you given up?"
"No." Hang Jiaxiuying said indifferently, "Even if I can't help myself, my heart is still mine, and I can still do it willfully and put him in my heart."
Qian Bao'er said angrily: "What an infatuated woman. I guess God favored me and sent a strong enemy for me."
"God's will is to trick people, but love is even more annoying. I have already lost, I have nothing to say. His heart, I can't compete with you. Even so, my heart, let me alone Make the decision. Although there is no hope, I still love him. Bao'er, if you don't cherish him, I will blame you too."
"Nud Bodhisattva crossed the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, and he is still thinking about him. You can rest assured that Yulin and I will love each other and grow old forever."
Hang Jiaxiuying's eyes were empty, and she said with emotion: "It used to be difficult for the sea to be water, but Wushan is not a cloud. Huang Liang's dream is broken, but love lasts forever. I made you laugh." She approached Qian Bao'er, sincerely: "Bao'er, you might I think I'm nosy. But tonight, maybe the last time we meet, you and my sister, I naturally hope for your well-being. You know Yulin's nature very well. Have you ever heard that "when the water is clear, there is nothing?" Fish'? Married as a woman in the future, right and wrong are unavoidable, and some grievances are common. Sometimes right and wrong are not so important, and there is no need to distinguish between male and female. You must know how to endure, be aware of the overall situation, and calm things down , so that it does not lose women's virtue."
Qian Bao'er was a little impatient, "You are really long-winded. I didn't come here to preach to you, it's unfounded to worry about."
"Since you don't want to listen, I won't talk about it. I hope I'm worrying unnecessarily." After she finished speaking, she held Qian Bao'er's hand, "Bao'er, I have wronged you before, and I hope you forgive me. Regardless, let go of old grudges."
Her eyebrows and eyes were sincere, and Qian Baoer couldn't help being moved.She didn't seem to have done anything wrong. If she didn't have a marriage contract, if she met Jiang Yulin, she would fall in love with him.At any rate, she used to be in love with her sisters, but now she encounters this accident again, so there is no need to blame the past again.She smiled and said, "If I still care about it, it would be too unreasonable and seem petty. Well, everything in the past will be written off."
They looked at each other and smiled, each relieved.The two women who had a rift because of love are finally on good terms.
Jiang Yulin had a long talk with his father, and after having a heart-to-heart chat over a drink, he still felt distraught.She is about to leave in three days. From now on, she will be a stranger in the world, and it will be impossible to meet her again.Should I go to Hangzhou Mansion again? I wonder how she is doing now?But when he arrived at Hang Mansion, he couldn't even enter the gate of Hang Mansion.
The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ma Taihe, was notified by Li Gonggong, only to find out that the usually inconspicuous master of the Hangzhou mansion is actually the uncle of the country today, and the Hangzhou mansion will have a future concubine.Jiang Yulin had just walked to the gate of the mansion when he was stopped by soldiers, "I was ordered to stay here! The Governor has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter at night. I advise this young man not to cause trouble. If you are sensible, get out!"
Jiang Yulin had no choice but to return along the road in order to avoid extraneous issues and being suspected by others.He walked towards Jiangfu in a depressed mood, and suddenly heard the sound of the piano, which was familiar to his ears. The rhythm was... He looked up and said, 'Yixianglou'.He thought of Daiyue who was out of the mud but not stained, smiled slightly, and was thinking that there was nothing to do with the sadness, and it might be even more depressing to be alone in the house, and it would be good to have someone to talk to.
He walked into Yixiang Building, and the old bustard, Feng Niang, saw her from afar, and greeted her with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, ouch, I finally expected you. The girls here are all beautiful, Mr. Jiang." If you want to light a lamp for any girl, just say so."
Jiang Yulin said in embarrassment, "No, I'm not here to light the lamp. I... I'm here to find Miss Daiyue. I wonder if Miss Daiyue is free?"
Feng Niang covered her mouth with her incense fan and said with a smile, "I'm still ashamed. I know that ordinary goods can't catch Mr. Jiang's eyes. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. Since you said this, Miss Daiyue will be free when she is not free." Feng Niang Niang frivolously nudged Jiang Yulin with her elbow, and teased in a low voice, "Young Master Jiang is really ruthless. We, Daiyue, are looking forward to seeing you coming, and the autumn water is almost gone. Today is finally here."
Jiang Yulin smiled stiffly, feeling embarrassed, not knowing how to reply.
Seeing his thin face, Feng Niang stopped joking, if she really teased him away, it would not be worthwhile.He hurriedly shouted, "Come here, take Mr. Jiang to
In Daiyue's room, don't be negligent. " After finishing speaking, he said to Jiang Yulin with a smile, "Young master Jiang, go there and wait for a while, Daiyue will come soon. "
"Master Jiang, please."
Jiang Yulin followed a maidservant to Daiyue's room.Jiang Yulin walked in, and the furnishings in the room made him feel refreshed.An orchid is placed under the window lattice, landscapes and ink treasures are hung on the wall, and the small shelf is full of classics and biographies.In the center stands a small platform, on which there is an incense tripod with sandalwood burning inside.He took a deep breath, only to feel calm.He originally thought that the place of fireworks was nothing more than gaudy and coquettish, but this place is like a secluded room, where there is no singing and dancing outside the door, no drinking and sex in the building.
"Master Jiang, mother has already sent someone to inform the girl, and she will be here in a while. Do you have any orders from Mr. Jiang?"
"Two pots of Huadiao, and another pot of Yuqian Longjing. Thank you."
"Yes." The servant girl bowed and closed the door behind her.
Jiang Yulin bowed his body in front of the shelf and watched carefully, the first thing that catches his eyes was "Biography of Martyr Girl" at the top.He couldn't help smiling, she read these books on weekdays, it's no wonder that she still had a refined attitude in the ups and downs.Xu Yu frowned again, how painful and tormenting it must be for such a strong woman to be reduced to Fengyue.
After a while, the maid brought over the drinks he asked for.Jiang Yulin sat at the round table and started to drink by himself.Speaking of being involuntary, Miss Daiyue should have a deep understanding of this kind of bitterness. Even if her sentiments are noble, once she wades into the muddy water, she will inevitably go against her will to flatter her and force her to smile.What about Xiuying?In the deep palace, under the imperial power, is it not involuntary to force yourself to cater to the royal family and serve the king?
Geng Shang was a young man, he had indeed fantasized about making Hang Xiuying his wife, he liked her tenderness and consideration, and her understanding.As long as he looks at her, she can tell his thoughts, get along with him freely and easily, and say everything.But is that love between men and women?He had asked himself, but there seemed to be no answer.Until she returned to Guangzhou, he still had doubts.
As time went by, he began to notice the distance between them, and he found that there was already a shadow of a person in his heart, and that person was Qian Baoer.He has been troubled by this, and when he has become a half-hearted person that he hates.Suddenly one day, Hang Qinge went to Yaxing and had a conversation with him. He was a teacher for a day and a father for life. He couldn't find a reason to refuse.Since then, he has distanced himself from her, keeping a distance at all times.At first he still struggled, but as time passed, he finally realized that if he said love, what he loved was Qian Baoer, that frank and simple fiancée who was sometimes naive and sometimes willful, and made him risk her life at all costs.
Hang Qinge's words are still ringing in my ears, "Yulin, you are a good boy, honest and pure. You and Xiuying are childhood sweethearts who have affection for each other, and I know it. I also intended to match, but the fate of the match is beyond one's will. Xiuying has her way to go, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts as a father." Thinking of how he kept hurting her, recalling her red and swollen eyes during the day, Jiang Yulin smiled bitterly, he didn't know what he was doing right. Is it wrong, is it cowardice or compromise, is it love or luck?With things at this point, is he really the culprit?
Another few glasses of dirty wine.Xiuying enters the palace, Bao'er is forced to marry, and there is no clue about the copper coins. She looks forward to wine to relieve her sorrow, but who knows that wine will make her worry even worse.The past, the past, and the troubles of the present and the evening flood into my heart. Even if there is a strong sandalwood around me at this moment, I will not be able to live safely.He lifted the porcelain lid of the flagon pot, picked up the wine and poured it straight into his mouth.
Suddenly, the door opened.Daiyue stared straight at him, she hadn't seen him for several days, she thought he would never come again, she was even worried that his appearance would fade away in her memory.When the mother asked the maid to pass the message and learned that he was waiting for her, she hurriedly excused the guests who came to listen to the piano, and came to see him.This aspect seems to make the long-lost regret come back at once.However, when she took a second look, she found that he was drinking to drown his sorrows. The bitterness in his eyes made people feel distressed. Rumors that "the number one tooth in the world, Shaodong, stumbled in the yamen, and he couldn't even detect the gold in the copper coins" were already raging.Even if she doesn't leave the door, she can still learn from those benefactors, and more than once.Is he frustrated by this?Daiyue couldn't help but feel happy, I should be lucky that he can think of me when he is frustrated.
Jiang Yulin heard the sound and looked towards the door. She was still the same, extraordinary and refined, wearing a white shirt.He hurriedly put down the wine and stood up, "Miss Daiyue, please forgive me for bothering you."
Daiyue walked in slowly, lifted the veil on her face, and bowed in front of him, "Young Master Jiang is polite." The maid followed behind and put the qin on the
On the piano case, he closed the door and retreated.
"Be polite, be polite."
"It's been a few days since I waited for you to come here day and night. It's already late at night. Daiyue is very flattered that Mr. Jiang came here."
"It's surprising, you and I only met once, but I feel like an old friend. This time I came here on a whim, and it can be said that I heard it. I just heard the song "Guangling Stopping" by Miss Daiyue , It's really wonderful."
Daiyue smiled and said: "Young Master Jiang is absurdly praised. But Mr. Jiang has good ears and knows everything. He is worthy of being the best tooth in the world. Daiyue is not good at learning, thanks to the famous piano that Mr. Jiang gave, she is not so clumsy. "
Jiang Yulin smiled wryly, "Vegetarian food in the corpse is not worthy of the name."
"A wise man has a lot of worries, and there is bound to be a loss. Mr. Jiang is open and upright, and it is difficult to guard against a villain. It is obvious that he is upset by drinking wine. It is rude to ask why. Daiyue has nothing else. If Mr. Jiang does not dislike it, Daiyue Boldly show your ugliness and play a clumsy song to express your melancholy."
"my pleasure."
Daiyue nodded and smiled, walked to the piano table, sat down slowly with her skirt tucked in, looked at Jiang Yulin before raising her fingers, and said, "Let's play the song "Wu Ye Dancing in the Autumn Wind."
Jiang Yulin returned to his seat, the melody of the piano was quiet and serene, and it sounded a lot brighter in his heart.Su Er felt sad again, his face was gloomy, he smiled coldly and held the pot to drink again.He is the number one tooth in the world who is well-known in Guangzhou. He has seen his talent before, and even heard of him before. Is it because of copper coins?He looked like he was trapped by love, who and what made him so anxious?Could it be the eldest lady of Wantong Bank?
When the music was over and the piano was stopped, Daiyue saw that he was still not frowning, drinking more than once. "Master Jiang."
I wanted to drink again, but the cup was already hanging by my mouth, I hurriedly put down the cup and asked, "Miss Daiyue, what's the matter?"
Daiyue went to the table and sat down, "Young Master Jiang, you will be even more worried when you drink alcohol. Drinking too much is useless."
"That's right, thank you Miss Daiyue for your prompt advice. Can we have a cup of weak tea together?" He poured a cup of Yuqian Longjing and handed it to Daiyue.
Daiyue accepted it happily, took a sip, and said: "Good tea, light and sweet, with a natural sweet fragrance in the mouth."
Jiang Yulin brewed a cup for himself, and was about to drink it when he caught a glimpse of the emerald green tea floating in the tea, and suddenly became enlightened.Float method!You can use the floating water method to check whether there is gold in the copper coins!He couldn't help but stood up and said, "Miss Daiyue, Jiang has business to do. I'll come to see you another day, so I'm leaving!" He put two 100 taels of silver bills on the table and hurried back to Jiang's mansion. .
☆, There are many turmoil in the marriage, kiss An Lang's heart
The next day, Jiang Yulin went to Qian's mansion, explained to Qian Fangkong the floating water method that he tried repeatedly at home last night, and demonstrated it in front of him.Qian Fangkong was overjoyed and decided to use two approaches. Jiang's servants continued to search for Gu Cansheng's whereabouts throughout the city. Qian's servants went around buying salt during the day and pouring it into wells in Guangzhou at night.Now that everything was ready, Jiang Yulin returned to Jiangfu with peace of mind.As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by Jiang Shouyan.
"Yu Lin, the date has been chosen. According to your idea, pick the one you choose recently, and set it on the fifteenth day. Dad asked the master to read it, it is suitable for marriage, good luck. What do you think?"
Jiang Yulin beamed with joy, "Okay, fifteen."
"Then let's start preparing the dowry right away." Jiang Shouyan was elated, and after a while he pondered again: "You have serious business to do recently, and I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of it. I'd better go out and choose for you in person, so I don't waste money. If you don't If you have any special requirements, then it is up to me to make the decision.”
"Father is worried." Jiang Yulin nodded.Suddenly recalling Bao'er's words, he said, "Father, Xifu, I want to buy a set of Suzhou embroidery, my dragon embroidery, and Baoer's phoenix embroidery. Time is running short, I wonder if I can get it now?"
"Catch up with work day and night, maybe in time. Let me explain first, you can rest assured that you are busy." After speaking, he raised his hand and patted Jiang Yulin's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Yulin, I never thought that you would grow up so quickly. Now that it's time to start a family, Dad is happy for you, happy! Your mother knows, and she must be pleased."
"Father..." Jiang Yulin was also touched when he heard the words, the father and son loved each other deeply, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Yu Zhongzheng returned home with Gu Jing after escaping the catastrophe, and learned that Gu Cansheng secretly forged gold to help him, and wanted to join forces with Gu Cansheng.First of all, he is obsessed with money, and with the help of Gu Cansheng's skills, he can make a fortune.Second, since I knew that Jiang Shouyan's mishandling of silk floss made his father lose face, he had no place to stand in Guangzhou, and the Yu family also fell into ruin because of this.It's not a gentleman not to take revenge if he has a grudge, he can't swallow this bad breath!In addition, the feud with Jiang Yulin was already deep, if Jiang Yulin was not defeated, he would never have a peaceful day in the court.If he could join forces with Gu Cansheng, he would kill two birds with one stone.
On that day, in order to successfully persuade Gu Cansheng, Yu Zhongzheng pulled Gu Jing along.Before arriving at the carving shop, he met Gu Cansheng who was at a loss on the way.He bluntly said that Jiang Yulin came to him and didn't know what to do.Seeing this situation, Yu Zhong was busy taking a small path and took Gu Cansheng to Guanyin Temple.In the Guanyin Temple, he explained in detail what was in his mind.What Yu Zhongzheng said hit Gu Cansheng's heart, and Gu Cansheng was secretly happy, it seemed that Qian Fangkong was about to run out of energy.Gu Cansheng accepted Yu Zhongzheng's request, and talked about the grievances with Qian Fangkong 20 years ago, but concealed the existence of Jasper Guanyin's hands, only saying that his hands were abandoned by Qian Fangkong.Yu Zhongzheng was terrified, he had already thought that the copper coin painted with gold was a deliberate hint for him to lure himself into the bait.However, Yu Zhongzheng doesn't care, as long as he can bring down the Jiang family, it doesn't matter if he is used by others.
The two then worked hand in hand and worked together.
At the end of the day, Jiang Yulin and Jiu Jin's two soldiers split into two groups, and led the servants of Qian's mansion to pour bags of salt into wells in various places in Guangzhou, and built bamboo fences near the wells to prevent interference from idlers and others.The road to Yuanjia is narrow, but Yu Zhongzheng, who is wandering around with nothing to do, bumps into him.He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Yulin's gourd, so he hid in the distance and observed secretly.Everyone focused on what they were doing, and didn't realize that someone was spying on them.Yu Zhongzheng felt that something was wrong, and this move must have something to do with copper coins!He hurried to Guanyin Temple and told Gu Cansheng what he saw.
Gu Cansheng was shocked. He never thought that a young man like Jiang Yulin could think of the floating water method to distinguish whether there is gold in the copper coin. He is worthy of being the best tooth in the world.It's a pity that you met me, Gu Cansheng, you have Zhang Liangji, and I have a wall ladder.He raised his eyebrows and revealed a wicked smile.Instead, he ordered Yu Zhongzheng and Gu Jinglou to go down the mountain to purchase a large amount of vinegar, and pour it near the well surrounded by Jiang Yulin.
Jiang Yulin and Jiujin'er got things under their belts in order, went to Qian's mansion again, and reported their progress to Qian Fangkong.Hearing that everything went well, Qian Fangkong finally breathed a sigh of relief.In order to prevent repeating the same mistakes, Qian Fangkong immediately went out to find Ma Taihe, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and asked him to take action, and ordered the arrest of Yu Zhongzheng and others to avoid complications.
Yu Zhongzheng and Gu Jing took advantage of the unpreparedness of the servants guarding the well and poured vinegar into the vicinity of the well.Just when he was complacent about his success, he was caught by a group of officials and brought them back to prison.
Through eyeliner, Qian Fangkong knew that Yu Zhongzheng and Gu Jing were already in prison.I wanted to cut the mess quickly, and asked the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to try it as soon as possible to solve the trouble of Yu Zhongzheng. If the case is closed as soon as possible, the rumors that the copper coins contain gold will naturally disappear.As long as enough copper coins are recovered and Jiaqing Tongbao is cast, he can make a fortune!From then on, Gu Cansheng would not be a problem, if he persisted in pestering him, he would be free to get rid of him in another day.
Unexpectedly, they hit a wall in Matai and there.The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ma Taihe, seized the opportunity and fled to flatter him. He was concerned about the safety of the Hangzhou government. He dispatched troops and generals, and did everything by himself. Among them, in the future, he will become an official and a nobleman, and he will be among the golden kings.Now that big things are important, Ma Taihe no longer has the heart to take care of such small things. He only replied that this matter should be put aside for the time being. It will not be too late to talk about it another day. There is no rush. It will be sixteen at the earliest, and he will send the future princess to Beijing Reconsideration.Qian Fangkong had no choice but to agree.
Jiang Yulin thought that although Gu Cansheng has not been found yet, it is difficult to prevent him from doing tricks again, but as long as he arranges for his servants to guard the well until the day of his ascension, there is no need to be afraid of him repeating his old tricks and playing tricks again.It's good to be able to find it, but it's nothing to worry about if you can't find it.
Jiang Yulin didn't know that Gu Cansheng had already joined his army.Now that Yu Zhongzheng and Gu Jing are not being tried, Jiang Yulin is free.he turned around
When I arrived at Hangfu, I wanted to see Hang Jiaxiuying.At the door, I met Ma Taihe, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who came here for inspection.
Jiang Yulin bowed and said. "The grass people have seen the governor."
"Excuse me. Why did you come here? Are you ignorant? Now that the future imperial concubine lives in the Hangzhou mansion, it would be inappropriate for Mr. Jiang to visit at this time." Ma Taihe glanced at him and said.
Jiang Yulin pretended to be ignorant, and replied calmly, "Thanks to the reminder from the governor, the grass people are really blinded, and they don't know that there is such a happy event in the Hang Mansion. The adults don't know that the grass people were fortunate enough to be taught by the master Hang Jia of the Hang Mansion when they were young, and they were gracious." For him. Passing through Hang Mansion, it would be impolite not to enter, so I paid homage to him."
"Oh, there is another matter?" Ma Taihe said with a sly smile: "In that case, let me go in with you to see Uncle Guo."
Jiang Yulin thought to himself, the Hangzhou mansion is now heavily guarded, and there must be many eyes and ears in the mansion. If she goes in to meet Xiu Ying, won't it damage her reputation?Governor Ma Taihe has always been very happy, once he knows, he will inevitably make a big fuss, I am afraid he will not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River.Of course, Xiu Ying absolutely cannot see her.If you follow him into the Hang Mansion, and pay homage to Uncle Hang as you said before, it is against your original intention not to mention it. During the conversation with Uncle Hang, it is inevitable that some people on both sides accidentally slipped their mouths. Misfortune comes from the mouth. What's wrong, what should I do?It is an eventful time now, and the copper collection has not yet been satisfactorily resolved, and there must be no further incidents.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yulin declined and said, "No, since I have learned that the Hang Mansion has received the emperor's favor, how can I rush to the door at this juncture. It's just a temporary idea, and it doesn't matter if I come back another day. I just have something important to do now. Forgive me and leave first."
Jiang Yulin was walking on the way back to Jiangfu, when he suddenly remembered the day when he was hired, fifteen?Didn't Xiu Ying also set off on the fifteenth day?Jiang Yulin smiled relievedly, "It turns out that God has already made a decision, and the person I'm destined for is undoubtedly Bao'er."
Passing by a jewelry store, he stepped in.Picking from the left to the right, I chose a tasseled Jinbuyao with a blue background and white jade flowers engraved on it.When the buddy received the silver, he wrapped the Buyao in a red brocade box and handed it to him.When he got out of the shop, he held the brocade box in his hand, stared at it intently, and wondered about Qian Baoer's hairpin swaying.He pursed his lips with a smile, lowered his hand and held the brocade box tightly in his hand.Suddenly, a voice stopped me, "Brother Jiang, stay a step."
He turned his head, "It's you? I don't know what you can do with Mr. Rong?"
"Brother Jiang, is he preparing to hire a beautiful woman?"
"How did you find out?"
Rong Hanting smiled and said, "Rong is not talented. Although he is not as talented as Brother Jiang, he still has a lot of connections in Guangzhou. Jiang's family has frequently bought rare and festive things recently. One can see that good things are coming. Even the wedding clothes have already been arranged , Blind people can also smell the smell of happy events. It's not brother Jiang's big wedding, could it be your father's reunion?"
Jiang Yulin sneered and said, "You are really well-informed. Yes, I will go to Qian's mansion to hire in a few days. Forgive my stupidity, I don't know what my marriage has to do with Mr. Rong?"
Rong Hanting leaned into Jiang Yulin's ear and said, "Jiang Yulin, I advise you not to go your own way. The new emperor is in sight, and the time is right around the corner. It is best that God bless you to cast Jiaqing Tongbao, but I think it is difficult, difficult to ascend to the blue sky. From now on, the price of copper will double again. If you don’t collect enough copper money, don’t expect it from me! If you listen to my advice and let it go, I will definitely give you two a way out. Find a dead end, don't blame me for burning everything! When the time comes, you will kneel in front of me and beg me, and there will be no discussion!"
"I'm afraid I will disappoint you. My marriage with Bao'er is imperative! I also advise you, if you do too much unrighteousness, you will die yourself!"
Rong Hanting roared, "If I can't get it, you can't get it either!"
"Waiting for your advice!" Jiang Yulin lifted his robe and shook his sleeves away.
When Jiang Yulin returned to Jiang's residence, he wanted to ask his father about the bride price, but the servant girl reported that his father had gone out.I searched for Jiu Jin Er, but I didn't see him.Knowing that he was depressed these few days, I specially asked him to take leave and rest. Where did he go?Suddenly thinking of Bu Yao in his arms, he beat the horse and went to Qian's mansion.
"Yu Lin, you're here. You've worked hard these days, so you don't have to come here for everything." Qian Fangkong smiled redly.
"This time I'm here for a private matter, I'm here to see Bao'er."
Qian Fangkong teased: "Good son-in-law, I want to see you, and I will take this opportunity to see you more. Your father just came over to talk to me about your marriage, and you will come over the day after tomorrow to make an appointment. After the appointment, as usual, the big wedding Do not contact in private before. Yulin, don't delay, lest you want to see each other, read it tightly. Go, Bao'er is in the room."
Jiang Yulin nodded and replied, "Yes. Thank you Qian Shibo."
Jiang Yulin hurried to Qian Bao'er's room, knocked on the door lightly, and said, "Bao'er, it's me."
Qian Baoer opened the door happily when she heard the sound, and when she saw Jiang Yulin, she hugged him before she could speak.
"Bao'er, what's the matter?"
Qian Bao'er snuggled into his arms, muttering, "I'm still saying, I blame you for not coming to see me for a few days. When I come to Qian's mansion, I only want to look for my father."
"It's my fault. It's important to do business. I got confused in a hurry."
"Forget it, I know that you have been busy with my father's affairs these days."
Jiang Yulin gently parted her shoulders, and said softly, "I came here to find you this time, and I have something for you."
Qian Baoer's eyes sparkled with joy, "Really? Show me quickly!"
"Let me in first."
Qian Baoer took a few steps back, Jiang Yulin walked in, closed the door with his hands, took Qian Baoer's hand and walked towards the dressing table, pressed her shoulders, and made her sit upright in front of her.
Qian Bao'er couldn't wait to ask, "Don't be secretive, I want to know now."
"Bao'er, close your eyes first."
When Qian Baoer heard this, she obediently closed her eyes.Jiang Yulin took out the brocade box from his bosom, lifted the lid with his hand, gently squeezed and shook the pattern, and placed the brocade box on the dressing table with the other hand.Qian Baoer opened her starry eyes slightly, watching his actions from the mirror.His serious look was imprinted in her heart. At that moment, she seemed to see that he had only herself in his eyes.
Jiang Yulin gently and persistently shook the hairpin on Qian Baoer's bun. After pinning it, she looked in the mirror and realized that she had already opened her eyes.He smiled faintly, bent down, held Qian Baoer's shoulders with both hands, put his head close to Qian Baoer's left shoulder, looked at Qian Baoer in the mirror, and asked
"Bao Er, do you like it?"
He didn't get her reply, but welcomed her affection.Qian Baoer turned her head and kissed his lips.Jiang Yulin was very surprised, his lips suddenly felt soft and cold, and it took him a long time to react and start to respond.Qian Baoer couldn't help wrapping her arms around his neck, from the initial light pecking to a fiery deep kiss.
After a while, the two separated slowly, Qian Baoer stared at his face and said softly: "You gave it as a gift, of course I like it."
Jiang Yulin smiled happily, and suddenly asked, "Bao'er, why did you suddenly..."
Qian Bao'er was well aware of his unspoken intentions, and pretended to be angry and said, "If you get a cheap price, you're acting like a good boy."
Seeing that she was embarrassed, he immediately changed the subject, "I'm coming over for the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate the engagement and ceremony."
"I know, Dad just told me about it."
Jiang Yulin frowned: "I don't know when my father and Qian Shibo asked for an appointment? I really hope that the day of the big wedding will be earlier and the dust will settle."
"Why are you so emotional?"
He stood up, walked to the round table in the center and sat down, raised his hand to make a cup of tea, took a sip, and fixed his eyes on the porcelain cup in his hand, "I just met Rong Hanting, and my words were not good."
"It's him again, what a lingering ghost!" She got up and walked behind Jiang Yulin, wrapped her arms around him, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly:
"Yu Lin, I believe that our marriage is destined, and the gods will bless us."
Jiang Yulin patted her arm lightly, "Yes. You and I are destined to be husband and wife, I have no doubts about it."
☆, Hang Jiaxiuying made a secret appointment with Jiang Yulin, and wanted to dedicate herself before leaving
Ask what love is in the world, and see all the idiotic men complaining about women until they die, then you can know that the word "love" is very misleading.As the saying goes, love does not know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper.And how can knowing the end, the heartbroken of the two phases.
At the end of the day, Jiujin Erfang returned home.Seeing that he was downcast, Jiang Yulin knew that he must be looking forward to seeing Qiaoyun more, so he stayed in the Hang Mansion foolishly until now, so he didn't ask any more questions to add to his troubles.
Another day in a blink of an eye.Jiang Yulin learned that the wedding date is set for the [-]th of next month, and is discussing with his father about the next day's appointment and marriage.Father and son Siliang and Jiujin are also waiting on the left and right for details.Suddenly, the man at the gate of the mansion came to report with a food box: "The Hangzhou mansion sent a servant girl to bring a cage of three dishes.
Bao, and said that the filling is made of diced chicken, diced bamboo shoots, and diced meat. Let the young master taste how it tastes. "
"Qiaoyun?" Jiu Jin Er hurriedly chased after hearing the words.
Jiang Shouyan was surprised, "Why are you so eager to send some steamed buns? It's already past the time for morning tea."
How could Jiang Yulin not know how to make three small buns?Deliberately remind, presumably there must be something in it.Coming to Beijing soon, the Hangzhou Mansion will not send this kind of thing over the mansion for no reason, name and surname, the maid must be sent by Xiu Ying.
In fact, not only Jiang Yulin but also Jiang Shouyan were the ones who got to the bottom of this matter.
Jiang Yulin smiled and said, "Since I sent it here, I must appreciate it."
He took the food box and waved his hand to let the guards back down.Open the food box, take out the buns stacked on the top layer, and break them apart with your hands. As expected, there is a white note sandwiched in the stuffing.Jiang Yulin took out the note and held it between his fingers, while putting the buns back into the food box, unfolded the note, which read "Today at Xu time, Yunshui lives among the folded willows, looking forward to your visit."
"Yu Lin, what's the matter?"
Jiang Yulin knew that this matter should not be publicized, so he hid the note in his palm and said perfunctorily, "It's a small matter. Dad, let's not bother."
Hang Jiaxiuying waited for three days, but Jiang Yulin did not come to the door for a long time.Seeing that the day of departure is getting closer and closer, the guards inside and outside the mansion are becoming more and more strict.Why doesn't he come?She also wanted to see him more, look at him more, and talk to him more.In the final analysis, she was not reconciled.She couldn't let go, so she went to Beijing.She was already in a terrible mood, could it be that the last time was the last time?She thought over and over again, and a voice sounded in her heart, "No, you must not sit still, you must find a way to see him." '
Right now, it is inconvenient to go in and out, and there are too many people, if you go to see him openly, you will definitely get him into trouble.But today is the last day, if you miss today, I'm afraid you won't have another chance in this life.Jiang Yulin, she wanted to see her no matter what.Since there is no way out, it is better to give it a go.She transmitted her voice through the bag, and concluded that Jiang Yulin must be able to guess the clue and get the note.Confirm from the maid that the three-pack has been delivered
Jiangfu, she couldn't sit still for a moment.She asked Qiaoyun to put on her clothes, and Jin Chan shed her shell.On the other hand, he pretended to be a servant, and went out with the piano in his arms.When interrogated by guarding soldiers, she replied that the qin in her hand is Gege's favorite thing, and she will bring them back to the capital tomorrow, and she is now ordered by Gege to hold the qin until the strings are changed.Hearing the words, the soldiers knew that it would be difficult to bear if there was a delay, so they dared not stop them and let them go immediately.
At nightfall, Jiang Shouyan met Jiang Yulin in the corridor at the entrance of the mansion, who was about to leave the mansion. "Yu Lin, want to go out?"
"Yes."
Jiang Shouyan knew that he was going for an appointment, but he didn't say anything.He said meaningfully: "Yu Lin, tomorrow you will be hired by Qian's mansion, go back early."
It seems that Dad has already guessed it, and he replied solemnly: "Got it, Dad."
Yunshui lived among the folded willows, Hang Jiaxiuying had already changed back into women's clothes, and was sitting in front of the piano waiting for Jiang Yulin.I wonder if he will come tonight?She plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano was so fast that it was enough to see that she was in a state of confusion.
The moment Jiang Yulin entered the door, she rested her piano and stared blankly, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance into her heart. This farewell was a lifetime, and she was afraid that she would forget it after too long, and she couldn't bear to forget it.
Jiang Yulin walked towards her, "Xiu Ying, do you know that your move is too risky?"
"I knew you would come. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't want to miss this last chance. Why don't you come to me?"
"I've been here, but it's not as good as God's calculation."
Hearing this, Hang Jiaxiuying felt much relieved, it turned out that he was wrongly blamed.Hang Mansion is now surrounded by soldiers and is impenetrable, what can he do?What's more, he is not the generation of thieves, how could he do such sneaky things?
"I'm satisfied if you have this heart. Sit down and let me play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for you again." She slowly stroked the zither, melodious and desolate.
Fengxi Fengxi returned to her hometown and traveled around the world to seek her phoenix.
The time has not met and there is no general, He Wu is now promoted to Sitang.
There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the people in the room are poisoning my intestines.
He Yuan crossed his neck as a mandarin duck, Hu Jie and Xi flew together.
Huang Xi Huang Xi lives with me, and I have to entrust Yu Wei to be the concubine forever.
Friendship and heart are harmonious, who will know each other in the middle of the night?
Both wings rise and fly high, and I feel sad.
Jiang Yulin's eyes were filled with confusion when he heard the smell, and he felt melancholy again when he thought of the scenes of getting along with each other in the past.He is responsible for such an outcome.How could he not know the implication of Feng Qiuhuang?But he can only pretend not to know.
During the plucking, Hang Jiaxiuying's eyes never moved away from Jiang Yulin's body. When she thought that the blink of an eye was the time for farewell, a few tears slowly ran across her sad face.At the end of the song, she said in a voice, "Zhang Xian speaks for me, I feel uncomfortable and hesitant. The sound of the qin and zither makes me feel sad. Tonight may be the last time you and I are alone. I have been around Wushan, but I haven't seen the sea. You and I are destined or not.
"You're right. You and I have a destiny, we've known each other since childhood. If you and I don't have a destiny, it's hard to become a phoenix and a phoenix."
Hang Jiaxiuying got up and said firmly, "There is no absolute in everything, not necessarily." She walked slowly to Jiang Yulin, and said, "Yulin, my heart is so twisted. I don't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to leave the man I love Instead, bow down to a strange man, flatter him, and spend the rest of his life with him. Originally, I wanted to beg you to take me away, let's go to a place where no one recognizes us, and start over. But it's too selfish, I know you don't want to Yes, and you can't. You are the only heir of the Jiang family. Uncle Jiang has high hopes for you. You shoulder the responsibility of protecting your family and business. How could you drop everything and take me away? As you said, is it possible that the king of the world is the king? Earth, where can we find shelter. What's more, you have Bao'er in your heart."
"Bao'er, I didn't expect you to come." Hang Jiaxiuying forced a smile.
"For such a big event, I should come to visit. If we meet later, we will lose one side."
"I thought you would make trouble, but it seems that I have a villain's heart."
Qian Bao'er sneered and said, "I should be happy, now you can no longer snatch Yulin from me, and that cup of tea is even more saved."
"It didn't go as planned, and I got what I wanted. Bao'er, I envy you, no, to be precise, I'm jealous. I'm jealous that you occupy Yulin's whole heart. For so many years, he doesn't want to give me anything."
"Now, have you given up?"
"No." Hang Jiaxiuying said indifferently, "Even if I can't help myself, my heart is still mine, and I can still do it willfully and put him in my heart."
Qian Bao'er said angrily: "What an infatuated woman. I guess God favored me and sent a strong enemy for me."
"God's will is to trick people, but love is even more annoying. I have already lost, I have nothing to say. His heart, I can't compete with you. Even so, my heart, let me alone Make the decision. Although there is no hope, I still love him. Bao'er, if you don't cherish him, I will blame you too."
"Nud Bodhisattva crossed the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, and he is still thinking about him. You can rest assured that Yulin and I will love each other and grow old forever."
Hang Jiaxiuying's eyes were empty, and she said with emotion: "It used to be difficult for the sea to be water, but Wushan is not a cloud. Huang Liang's dream is broken, but love lasts forever. I made you laugh." She approached Qian Bao'er, sincerely: "Bao'er, you might I think I'm nosy. But tonight, maybe the last time we meet, you and my sister, I naturally hope for your well-being. You know Yulin's nature very well. Have you ever heard that "when the water is clear, there is nothing?" Fish'? Married as a woman in the future, right and wrong are unavoidable, and some grievances are common. Sometimes right and wrong are not so important, and there is no need to distinguish between male and female. You must know how to endure, be aware of the overall situation, and calm things down , so that it does not lose women's virtue."
Qian Bao'er was a little impatient, "You are really long-winded. I didn't come here to preach to you, it's unfounded to worry about."
"Since you don't want to listen, I won't talk about it. I hope I'm worrying unnecessarily." After she finished speaking, she held Qian Bao'er's hand, "Bao'er, I have wronged you before, and I hope you forgive me. Regardless, let go of old grudges."
Her eyebrows and eyes were sincere, and Qian Baoer couldn't help being moved.She didn't seem to have done anything wrong. If she didn't have a marriage contract, if she met Jiang Yulin, she would fall in love with him.At any rate, she used to be in love with her sisters, but now she encounters this accident again, so there is no need to blame the past again.She smiled and said, "If I still care about it, it would be too unreasonable and seem petty. Well, everything in the past will be written off."
They looked at each other and smiled, each relieved.The two women who had a rift because of love are finally on good terms.
Jiang Yulin had a long talk with his father, and after having a heart-to-heart chat over a drink, he still felt distraught.She is about to leave in three days. From now on, she will be a stranger in the world, and it will be impossible to meet her again.Should I go to Hangzhou Mansion again? I wonder how she is doing now?But when he arrived at Hang Mansion, he couldn't even enter the gate of Hang Mansion.
The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ma Taihe, was notified by Li Gonggong, only to find out that the usually inconspicuous master of the Hangzhou mansion is actually the uncle of the country today, and the Hangzhou mansion will have a future concubine.Jiang Yulin had just walked to the gate of the mansion when he was stopped by soldiers, "I was ordered to stay here! The Governor has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter at night. I advise this young man not to cause trouble. If you are sensible, get out!"
Jiang Yulin had no choice but to return along the road in order to avoid extraneous issues and being suspected by others.He walked towards Jiangfu in a depressed mood, and suddenly heard the sound of the piano, which was familiar to his ears. The rhythm was... He looked up and said, 'Yixianglou'.He thought of Daiyue who was out of the mud but not stained, smiled slightly, and was thinking that there was nothing to do with the sadness, and it might be even more depressing to be alone in the house, and it would be good to have someone to talk to.
He walked into Yixiang Building, and the old bustard, Feng Niang, saw her from afar, and greeted her with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, ouch, I finally expected you. The girls here are all beautiful, Mr. Jiang." If you want to light a lamp for any girl, just say so."
Jiang Yulin said in embarrassment, "No, I'm not here to light the lamp. I... I'm here to find Miss Daiyue. I wonder if Miss Daiyue is free?"
Feng Niang covered her mouth with her incense fan and said with a smile, "I'm still ashamed. I know that ordinary goods can't catch Mr. Jiang's eyes. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. Since you said this, Miss Daiyue will be free when she is not free." Feng Niang Niang frivolously nudged Jiang Yulin with her elbow, and teased in a low voice, "Young Master Jiang is really ruthless. We, Daiyue, are looking forward to seeing you coming, and the autumn water is almost gone. Today is finally here."
Jiang Yulin smiled stiffly, feeling embarrassed, not knowing how to reply.
Seeing his thin face, Feng Niang stopped joking, if she really teased him away, it would not be worthwhile.He hurriedly shouted, "Come here, take Mr. Jiang to
In Daiyue's room, don't be negligent. " After finishing speaking, he said to Jiang Yulin with a smile, "Young master Jiang, go there and wait for a while, Daiyue will come soon. "
"Master Jiang, please."
Jiang Yulin followed a maidservant to Daiyue's room.Jiang Yulin walked in, and the furnishings in the room made him feel refreshed.An orchid is placed under the window lattice, landscapes and ink treasures are hung on the wall, and the small shelf is full of classics and biographies.In the center stands a small platform, on which there is an incense tripod with sandalwood burning inside.He took a deep breath, only to feel calm.He originally thought that the place of fireworks was nothing more than gaudy and coquettish, but this place is like a secluded room, where there is no singing and dancing outside the door, no drinking and sex in the building.
"Master Jiang, mother has already sent someone to inform the girl, and she will be here in a while. Do you have any orders from Mr. Jiang?"
"Two pots of Huadiao, and another pot of Yuqian Longjing. Thank you."
"Yes." The servant girl bowed and closed the door behind her.
Jiang Yulin bowed his body in front of the shelf and watched carefully, the first thing that catches his eyes was "Biography of Martyr Girl" at the top.He couldn't help smiling, she read these books on weekdays, it's no wonder that she still had a refined attitude in the ups and downs.Xu Yu frowned again, how painful and tormenting it must be for such a strong woman to be reduced to Fengyue.
After a while, the maid brought over the drinks he asked for.Jiang Yulin sat at the round table and started to drink by himself.Speaking of being involuntary, Miss Daiyue should have a deep understanding of this kind of bitterness. Even if her sentiments are noble, once she wades into the muddy water, she will inevitably go against her will to flatter her and force her to smile.What about Xiuying?In the deep palace, under the imperial power, is it not involuntary to force yourself to cater to the royal family and serve the king?
Geng Shang was a young man, he had indeed fantasized about making Hang Xiuying his wife, he liked her tenderness and consideration, and her understanding.As long as he looks at her, she can tell his thoughts, get along with him freely and easily, and say everything.But is that love between men and women?He had asked himself, but there seemed to be no answer.Until she returned to Guangzhou, he still had doubts.
As time went by, he began to notice the distance between them, and he found that there was already a shadow of a person in his heart, and that person was Qian Baoer.He has been troubled by this, and when he has become a half-hearted person that he hates.Suddenly one day, Hang Qinge went to Yaxing and had a conversation with him. He was a teacher for a day and a father for life. He couldn't find a reason to refuse.Since then, he has distanced himself from her, keeping a distance at all times.At first he still struggled, but as time passed, he finally realized that if he said love, what he loved was Qian Baoer, that frank and simple fiancée who was sometimes naive and sometimes willful, and made him risk her life at all costs.
Hang Qinge's words are still ringing in my ears, "Yulin, you are a good boy, honest and pure. You and Xiuying are childhood sweethearts who have affection for each other, and I know it. I also intended to match, but the fate of the match is beyond one's will. Xiuying has her way to go, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts as a father." Thinking of how he kept hurting her, recalling her red and swollen eyes during the day, Jiang Yulin smiled bitterly, he didn't know what he was doing right. Is it wrong, is it cowardice or compromise, is it love or luck?With things at this point, is he really the culprit?
Another few glasses of dirty wine.Xiuying enters the palace, Bao'er is forced to marry, and there is no clue about the copper coins. She looks forward to wine to relieve her sorrow, but who knows that wine will make her worry even worse.The past, the past, and the troubles of the present and the evening flood into my heart. Even if there is a strong sandalwood around me at this moment, I will not be able to live safely.He lifted the porcelain lid of the flagon pot, picked up the wine and poured it straight into his mouth.
Suddenly, the door opened.Daiyue stared straight at him, she hadn't seen him for several days, she thought he would never come again, she was even worried that his appearance would fade away in her memory.When the mother asked the maid to pass the message and learned that he was waiting for her, she hurriedly excused the guests who came to listen to the piano, and came to see him.This aspect seems to make the long-lost regret come back at once.However, when she took a second look, she found that he was drinking to drown his sorrows. The bitterness in his eyes made people feel distressed. Rumors that "the number one tooth in the world, Shaodong, stumbled in the yamen, and he couldn't even detect the gold in the copper coins" were already raging.Even if she doesn't leave the door, she can still learn from those benefactors, and more than once.Is he frustrated by this?Daiyue couldn't help but feel happy, I should be lucky that he can think of me when he is frustrated.
Jiang Yulin heard the sound and looked towards the door. She was still the same, extraordinary and refined, wearing a white shirt.He hurriedly put down the wine and stood up, "Miss Daiyue, please forgive me for bothering you."
Daiyue walked in slowly, lifted the veil on her face, and bowed in front of him, "Young Master Jiang is polite." The maid followed behind and put the qin on the
On the piano case, he closed the door and retreated.
"Be polite, be polite."
"It's been a few days since I waited for you to come here day and night. It's already late at night. Daiyue is very flattered that Mr. Jiang came here."
"It's surprising, you and I only met once, but I feel like an old friend. This time I came here on a whim, and it can be said that I heard it. I just heard the song "Guangling Stopping" by Miss Daiyue , It's really wonderful."
Daiyue smiled and said: "Young Master Jiang is absurdly praised. But Mr. Jiang has good ears and knows everything. He is worthy of being the best tooth in the world. Daiyue is not good at learning, thanks to the famous piano that Mr. Jiang gave, she is not so clumsy. "
Jiang Yulin smiled wryly, "Vegetarian food in the corpse is not worthy of the name."
"A wise man has a lot of worries, and there is bound to be a loss. Mr. Jiang is open and upright, and it is difficult to guard against a villain. It is obvious that he is upset by drinking wine. It is rude to ask why. Daiyue has nothing else. If Mr. Jiang does not dislike it, Daiyue Boldly show your ugliness and play a clumsy song to express your melancholy."
"my pleasure."
Daiyue nodded and smiled, walked to the piano table, sat down slowly with her skirt tucked in, looked at Jiang Yulin before raising her fingers, and said, "Let's play the song "Wu Ye Dancing in the Autumn Wind."
Jiang Yulin returned to his seat, the melody of the piano was quiet and serene, and it sounded a lot brighter in his heart.Su Er felt sad again, his face was gloomy, he smiled coldly and held the pot to drink again.He is the number one tooth in the world who is well-known in Guangzhou. He has seen his talent before, and even heard of him before. Is it because of copper coins?He looked like he was trapped by love, who and what made him so anxious?Could it be the eldest lady of Wantong Bank?
When the music was over and the piano was stopped, Daiyue saw that he was still not frowning, drinking more than once. "Master Jiang."
I wanted to drink again, but the cup was already hanging by my mouth, I hurriedly put down the cup and asked, "Miss Daiyue, what's the matter?"
Daiyue went to the table and sat down, "Young Master Jiang, you will be even more worried when you drink alcohol. Drinking too much is useless."
"That's right, thank you Miss Daiyue for your prompt advice. Can we have a cup of weak tea together?" He poured a cup of Yuqian Longjing and handed it to Daiyue.
Daiyue accepted it happily, took a sip, and said: "Good tea, light and sweet, with a natural sweet fragrance in the mouth."
Jiang Yulin brewed a cup for himself, and was about to drink it when he caught a glimpse of the emerald green tea floating in the tea, and suddenly became enlightened.Float method!You can use the floating water method to check whether there is gold in the copper coins!He couldn't help but stood up and said, "Miss Daiyue, Jiang has business to do. I'll come to see you another day, so I'm leaving!" He put two 100 taels of silver bills on the table and hurried back to Jiang's mansion. .
☆, There are many turmoil in the marriage, kiss An Lang's heart
The next day, Jiang Yulin went to Qian's mansion, explained to Qian Fangkong the floating water method that he tried repeatedly at home last night, and demonstrated it in front of him.Qian Fangkong was overjoyed and decided to use two approaches. Jiang's servants continued to search for Gu Cansheng's whereabouts throughout the city. Qian's servants went around buying salt during the day and pouring it into wells in Guangzhou at night.Now that everything was ready, Jiang Yulin returned to Jiangfu with peace of mind.As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by Jiang Shouyan.
"Yu Lin, the date has been chosen. According to your idea, pick the one you choose recently, and set it on the fifteenth day. Dad asked the master to read it, it is suitable for marriage, good luck. What do you think?"
Jiang Yulin beamed with joy, "Okay, fifteen."
"Then let's start preparing the dowry right away." Jiang Shouyan was elated, and after a while he pondered again: "You have serious business to do recently, and I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of it. I'd better go out and choose for you in person, so I don't waste money. If you don't If you have any special requirements, then it is up to me to make the decision.”
"Father is worried." Jiang Yulin nodded.Suddenly recalling Bao'er's words, he said, "Father, Xifu, I want to buy a set of Suzhou embroidery, my dragon embroidery, and Baoer's phoenix embroidery. Time is running short, I wonder if I can get it now?"
"Catch up with work day and night, maybe in time. Let me explain first, you can rest assured that you are busy." After speaking, he raised his hand and patted Jiang Yulin's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Yulin, I never thought that you would grow up so quickly. Now that it's time to start a family, Dad is happy for you, happy! Your mother knows, and she must be pleased."
"Father..." Jiang Yulin was also touched when he heard the words, the father and son loved each other deeply, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Yu Zhongzheng returned home with Gu Jing after escaping the catastrophe, and learned that Gu Cansheng secretly forged gold to help him, and wanted to join forces with Gu Cansheng.First of all, he is obsessed with money, and with the help of Gu Cansheng's skills, he can make a fortune.Second, since I knew that Jiang Shouyan's mishandling of silk floss made his father lose face, he had no place to stand in Guangzhou, and the Yu family also fell into ruin because of this.It's not a gentleman not to take revenge if he has a grudge, he can't swallow this bad breath!In addition, the feud with Jiang Yulin was already deep, if Jiang Yulin was not defeated, he would never have a peaceful day in the court.If he could join forces with Gu Cansheng, he would kill two birds with one stone.
On that day, in order to successfully persuade Gu Cansheng, Yu Zhongzheng pulled Gu Jing along.Before arriving at the carving shop, he met Gu Cansheng who was at a loss on the way.He bluntly said that Jiang Yulin came to him and didn't know what to do.Seeing this situation, Yu Zhong was busy taking a small path and took Gu Cansheng to Guanyin Temple.In the Guanyin Temple, he explained in detail what was in his mind.What Yu Zhongzheng said hit Gu Cansheng's heart, and Gu Cansheng was secretly happy, it seemed that Qian Fangkong was about to run out of energy.Gu Cansheng accepted Yu Zhongzheng's request, and talked about the grievances with Qian Fangkong 20 years ago, but concealed the existence of Jasper Guanyin's hands, only saying that his hands were abandoned by Qian Fangkong.Yu Zhongzheng was terrified, he had already thought that the copper coin painted with gold was a deliberate hint for him to lure himself into the bait.However, Yu Zhongzheng doesn't care, as long as he can bring down the Jiang family, it doesn't matter if he is used by others.
The two then worked hand in hand and worked together.
At the end of the day, Jiang Yulin and Jiu Jin's two soldiers split into two groups, and led the servants of Qian's mansion to pour bags of salt into wells in various places in Guangzhou, and built bamboo fences near the wells to prevent interference from idlers and others.The road to Yuanjia is narrow, but Yu Zhongzheng, who is wandering around with nothing to do, bumps into him.He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Yulin's gourd, so he hid in the distance and observed secretly.Everyone focused on what they were doing, and didn't realize that someone was spying on them.Yu Zhongzheng felt that something was wrong, and this move must have something to do with copper coins!He hurried to Guanyin Temple and told Gu Cansheng what he saw.
Gu Cansheng was shocked. He never thought that a young man like Jiang Yulin could think of the floating water method to distinguish whether there is gold in the copper coin. He is worthy of being the best tooth in the world.It's a pity that you met me, Gu Cansheng, you have Zhang Liangji, and I have a wall ladder.He raised his eyebrows and revealed a wicked smile.Instead, he ordered Yu Zhongzheng and Gu Jinglou to go down the mountain to purchase a large amount of vinegar, and pour it near the well surrounded by Jiang Yulin.
Jiang Yulin and Jiujin'er got things under their belts in order, went to Qian's mansion again, and reported their progress to Qian Fangkong.Hearing that everything went well, Qian Fangkong finally breathed a sigh of relief.In order to prevent repeating the same mistakes, Qian Fangkong immediately went out to find Ma Taihe, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and asked him to take action, and ordered the arrest of Yu Zhongzheng and others to avoid complications.
Yu Zhongzheng and Gu Jing took advantage of the unpreparedness of the servants guarding the well and poured vinegar into the vicinity of the well.Just when he was complacent about his success, he was caught by a group of officials and brought them back to prison.
Through eyeliner, Qian Fangkong knew that Yu Zhongzheng and Gu Jing were already in prison.I wanted to cut the mess quickly, and asked the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to try it as soon as possible to solve the trouble of Yu Zhongzheng. If the case is closed as soon as possible, the rumors that the copper coins contain gold will naturally disappear.As long as enough copper coins are recovered and Jiaqing Tongbao is cast, he can make a fortune!From then on, Gu Cansheng would not be a problem, if he persisted in pestering him, he would be free to get rid of him in another day.
Unexpectedly, they hit a wall in Matai and there.The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ma Taihe, seized the opportunity and fled to flatter him. He was concerned about the safety of the Hangzhou government. He dispatched troops and generals, and did everything by himself. Among them, in the future, he will become an official and a nobleman, and he will be among the golden kings.Now that big things are important, Ma Taihe no longer has the heart to take care of such small things. He only replied that this matter should be put aside for the time being. It will not be too late to talk about it another day. There is no rush. It will be sixteen at the earliest, and he will send the future princess to Beijing Reconsideration.Qian Fangkong had no choice but to agree.
Jiang Yulin thought that although Gu Cansheng has not been found yet, it is difficult to prevent him from doing tricks again, but as long as he arranges for his servants to guard the well until the day of his ascension, there is no need to be afraid of him repeating his old tricks and playing tricks again.It's good to be able to find it, but it's nothing to worry about if you can't find it.
Jiang Yulin didn't know that Gu Cansheng had already joined his army.Now that Yu Zhongzheng and Gu Jing are not being tried, Jiang Yulin is free.he turned around
When I arrived at Hangfu, I wanted to see Hang Jiaxiuying.At the door, I met Ma Taihe, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who came here for inspection.
Jiang Yulin bowed and said. "The grass people have seen the governor."
"Excuse me. Why did you come here? Are you ignorant? Now that the future imperial concubine lives in the Hangzhou mansion, it would be inappropriate for Mr. Jiang to visit at this time." Ma Taihe glanced at him and said.
Jiang Yulin pretended to be ignorant, and replied calmly, "Thanks to the reminder from the governor, the grass people are really blinded, and they don't know that there is such a happy event in the Hang Mansion. The adults don't know that the grass people were fortunate enough to be taught by the master Hang Jia of the Hang Mansion when they were young, and they were gracious." For him. Passing through Hang Mansion, it would be impolite not to enter, so I paid homage to him."
"Oh, there is another matter?" Ma Taihe said with a sly smile: "In that case, let me go in with you to see Uncle Guo."
Jiang Yulin thought to himself, the Hangzhou mansion is now heavily guarded, and there must be many eyes and ears in the mansion. If she goes in to meet Xiu Ying, won't it damage her reputation?Governor Ma Taihe has always been very happy, once he knows, he will inevitably make a big fuss, I am afraid he will not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River.Of course, Xiu Ying absolutely cannot see her.If you follow him into the Hang Mansion, and pay homage to Uncle Hang as you said before, it is against your original intention not to mention it. During the conversation with Uncle Hang, it is inevitable that some people on both sides accidentally slipped their mouths. Misfortune comes from the mouth. What's wrong, what should I do?It is an eventful time now, and the copper collection has not yet been satisfactorily resolved, and there must be no further incidents.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yulin declined and said, "No, since I have learned that the Hang Mansion has received the emperor's favor, how can I rush to the door at this juncture. It's just a temporary idea, and it doesn't matter if I come back another day. I just have something important to do now. Forgive me and leave first."
Jiang Yulin was walking on the way back to Jiangfu, when he suddenly remembered the day when he was hired, fifteen?Didn't Xiu Ying also set off on the fifteenth day?Jiang Yulin smiled relievedly, "It turns out that God has already made a decision, and the person I'm destined for is undoubtedly Bao'er."
Passing by a jewelry store, he stepped in.Picking from the left to the right, I chose a tasseled Jinbuyao with a blue background and white jade flowers engraved on it.When the buddy received the silver, he wrapped the Buyao in a red brocade box and handed it to him.When he got out of the shop, he held the brocade box in his hand, stared at it intently, and wondered about Qian Baoer's hairpin swaying.He pursed his lips with a smile, lowered his hand and held the brocade box tightly in his hand.Suddenly, a voice stopped me, "Brother Jiang, stay a step."
He turned his head, "It's you? I don't know what you can do with Mr. Rong?"
"Brother Jiang, is he preparing to hire a beautiful woman?"
"How did you find out?"
Rong Hanting smiled and said, "Rong is not talented. Although he is not as talented as Brother Jiang, he still has a lot of connections in Guangzhou. Jiang's family has frequently bought rare and festive things recently. One can see that good things are coming. Even the wedding clothes have already been arranged , Blind people can also smell the smell of happy events. It's not brother Jiang's big wedding, could it be your father's reunion?"
Jiang Yulin sneered and said, "You are really well-informed. Yes, I will go to Qian's mansion to hire in a few days. Forgive my stupidity, I don't know what my marriage has to do with Mr. Rong?"
Rong Hanting leaned into Jiang Yulin's ear and said, "Jiang Yulin, I advise you not to go your own way. The new emperor is in sight, and the time is right around the corner. It is best that God bless you to cast Jiaqing Tongbao, but I think it is difficult, difficult to ascend to the blue sky. From now on, the price of copper will double again. If you don’t collect enough copper money, don’t expect it from me! If you listen to my advice and let it go, I will definitely give you two a way out. Find a dead end, don't blame me for burning everything! When the time comes, you will kneel in front of me and beg me, and there will be no discussion!"
"I'm afraid I will disappoint you. My marriage with Bao'er is imperative! I also advise you, if you do too much unrighteousness, you will die yourself!"
Rong Hanting roared, "If I can't get it, you can't get it either!"
"Waiting for your advice!" Jiang Yulin lifted his robe and shook his sleeves away.
When Jiang Yulin returned to Jiang's residence, he wanted to ask his father about the bride price, but the servant girl reported that his father had gone out.I searched for Jiu Jin Er, but I didn't see him.Knowing that he was depressed these few days, I specially asked him to take leave and rest. Where did he go?Suddenly thinking of Bu Yao in his arms, he beat the horse and went to Qian's mansion.
"Yu Lin, you're here. You've worked hard these days, so you don't have to come here for everything." Qian Fangkong smiled redly.
"This time I'm here for a private matter, I'm here to see Bao'er."
Qian Fangkong teased: "Good son-in-law, I want to see you, and I will take this opportunity to see you more. Your father just came over to talk to me about your marriage, and you will come over the day after tomorrow to make an appointment. After the appointment, as usual, the big wedding Do not contact in private before. Yulin, don't delay, lest you want to see each other, read it tightly. Go, Bao'er is in the room."
Jiang Yulin nodded and replied, "Yes. Thank you Qian Shibo."
Jiang Yulin hurried to Qian Bao'er's room, knocked on the door lightly, and said, "Bao'er, it's me."
Qian Baoer opened the door happily when she heard the sound, and when she saw Jiang Yulin, she hugged him before she could speak.
"Bao'er, what's the matter?"
Qian Bao'er snuggled into his arms, muttering, "I'm still saying, I blame you for not coming to see me for a few days. When I come to Qian's mansion, I only want to look for my father."
"It's my fault. It's important to do business. I got confused in a hurry."
"Forget it, I know that you have been busy with my father's affairs these days."
Jiang Yulin gently parted her shoulders, and said softly, "I came here to find you this time, and I have something for you."
Qian Baoer's eyes sparkled with joy, "Really? Show me quickly!"
"Let me in first."
Qian Baoer took a few steps back, Jiang Yulin walked in, closed the door with his hands, took Qian Baoer's hand and walked towards the dressing table, pressed her shoulders, and made her sit upright in front of her.
Qian Bao'er couldn't wait to ask, "Don't be secretive, I want to know now."
"Bao'er, close your eyes first."
When Qian Baoer heard this, she obediently closed her eyes.Jiang Yulin took out the brocade box from his bosom, lifted the lid with his hand, gently squeezed and shook the pattern, and placed the brocade box on the dressing table with the other hand.Qian Baoer opened her starry eyes slightly, watching his actions from the mirror.His serious look was imprinted in her heart. At that moment, she seemed to see that he had only herself in his eyes.
Jiang Yulin gently and persistently shook the hairpin on Qian Baoer's bun. After pinning it, she looked in the mirror and realized that she had already opened her eyes.He smiled faintly, bent down, held Qian Baoer's shoulders with both hands, put his head close to Qian Baoer's left shoulder, looked at Qian Baoer in the mirror, and asked
"Bao Er, do you like it?"
He didn't get her reply, but welcomed her affection.Qian Baoer turned her head and kissed his lips.Jiang Yulin was very surprised, his lips suddenly felt soft and cold, and it took him a long time to react and start to respond.Qian Baoer couldn't help wrapping her arms around his neck, from the initial light pecking to a fiery deep kiss.
After a while, the two separated slowly, Qian Baoer stared at his face and said softly: "You gave it as a gift, of course I like it."
Jiang Yulin smiled happily, and suddenly asked, "Bao'er, why did you suddenly..."
Qian Bao'er was well aware of his unspoken intentions, and pretended to be angry and said, "If you get a cheap price, you're acting like a good boy."
Seeing that she was embarrassed, he immediately changed the subject, "I'm coming over for the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate the engagement and ceremony."
"I know, Dad just told me about it."
Jiang Yulin frowned: "I don't know when my father and Qian Shibo asked for an appointment? I really hope that the day of the big wedding will be earlier and the dust will settle."
"Why are you so emotional?"
He stood up, walked to the round table in the center and sat down, raised his hand to make a cup of tea, took a sip, and fixed his eyes on the porcelain cup in his hand, "I just met Rong Hanting, and my words were not good."
"It's him again, what a lingering ghost!" She got up and walked behind Jiang Yulin, wrapped her arms around him, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly:
"Yu Lin, I believe that our marriage is destined, and the gods will bless us."
Jiang Yulin patted her arm lightly, "Yes. You and I are destined to be husband and wife, I have no doubts about it."
☆, Hang Jiaxiuying made a secret appointment with Jiang Yulin, and wanted to dedicate herself before leaving
Ask what love is in the world, and see all the idiotic men complaining about women until they die, then you can know that the word "love" is very misleading.As the saying goes, love does not know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper.And how can knowing the end, the heartbroken of the two phases.
At the end of the day, Jiujin Erfang returned home.Seeing that he was downcast, Jiang Yulin knew that he must be looking forward to seeing Qiaoyun more, so he stayed in the Hang Mansion foolishly until now, so he didn't ask any more questions to add to his troubles.
Another day in a blink of an eye.Jiang Yulin learned that the wedding date is set for the [-]th of next month, and is discussing with his father about the next day's appointment and marriage.Father and son Siliang and Jiujin are also waiting on the left and right for details.Suddenly, the man at the gate of the mansion came to report with a food box: "The Hangzhou mansion sent a servant girl to bring a cage of three dishes.
Bao, and said that the filling is made of diced chicken, diced bamboo shoots, and diced meat. Let the young master taste how it tastes. "
"Qiaoyun?" Jiu Jin Er hurriedly chased after hearing the words.
Jiang Shouyan was surprised, "Why are you so eager to send some steamed buns? It's already past the time for morning tea."
How could Jiang Yulin not know how to make three small buns?Deliberately remind, presumably there must be something in it.Coming to Beijing soon, the Hangzhou Mansion will not send this kind of thing over the mansion for no reason, name and surname, the maid must be sent by Xiu Ying.
In fact, not only Jiang Yulin but also Jiang Shouyan were the ones who got to the bottom of this matter.
Jiang Yulin smiled and said, "Since I sent it here, I must appreciate it."
He took the food box and waved his hand to let the guards back down.Open the food box, take out the buns stacked on the top layer, and break them apart with your hands. As expected, there is a white note sandwiched in the stuffing.Jiang Yulin took out the note and held it between his fingers, while putting the buns back into the food box, unfolded the note, which read "Today at Xu time, Yunshui lives among the folded willows, looking forward to your visit."
"Yu Lin, what's the matter?"
Jiang Yulin knew that this matter should not be publicized, so he hid the note in his palm and said perfunctorily, "It's a small matter. Dad, let's not bother."
Hang Jiaxiuying waited for three days, but Jiang Yulin did not come to the door for a long time.Seeing that the day of departure is getting closer and closer, the guards inside and outside the mansion are becoming more and more strict.Why doesn't he come?She also wanted to see him more, look at him more, and talk to him more.In the final analysis, she was not reconciled.She couldn't let go, so she went to Beijing.She was already in a terrible mood, could it be that the last time was the last time?She thought over and over again, and a voice sounded in her heart, "No, you must not sit still, you must find a way to see him." '
Right now, it is inconvenient to go in and out, and there are too many people, if you go to see him openly, you will definitely get him into trouble.But today is the last day, if you miss today, I'm afraid you won't have another chance in this life.Jiang Yulin, she wanted to see her no matter what.Since there is no way out, it is better to give it a go.She transmitted her voice through the bag, and concluded that Jiang Yulin must be able to guess the clue and get the note.Confirm from the maid that the three-pack has been delivered
Jiangfu, she couldn't sit still for a moment.She asked Qiaoyun to put on her clothes, and Jin Chan shed her shell.On the other hand, he pretended to be a servant, and went out with the piano in his arms.When interrogated by guarding soldiers, she replied that the qin in her hand is Gege's favorite thing, and she will bring them back to the capital tomorrow, and she is now ordered by Gege to hold the qin until the strings are changed.Hearing the words, the soldiers knew that it would be difficult to bear if there was a delay, so they dared not stop them and let them go immediately.
At nightfall, Jiang Shouyan met Jiang Yulin in the corridor at the entrance of the mansion, who was about to leave the mansion. "Yu Lin, want to go out?"
"Yes."
Jiang Shouyan knew that he was going for an appointment, but he didn't say anything.He said meaningfully: "Yu Lin, tomorrow you will be hired by Qian's mansion, go back early."
It seems that Dad has already guessed it, and he replied solemnly: "Got it, Dad."
Yunshui lived among the folded willows, Hang Jiaxiuying had already changed back into women's clothes, and was sitting in front of the piano waiting for Jiang Yulin.I wonder if he will come tonight?She plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano was so fast that it was enough to see that she was in a state of confusion.
The moment Jiang Yulin entered the door, she rested her piano and stared blankly, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance into her heart. This farewell was a lifetime, and she was afraid that she would forget it after too long, and she couldn't bear to forget it.
Jiang Yulin walked towards her, "Xiu Ying, do you know that your move is too risky?"
"I knew you would come. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't want to miss this last chance. Why don't you come to me?"
"I've been here, but it's not as good as God's calculation."
Hearing this, Hang Jiaxiuying felt much relieved, it turned out that he was wrongly blamed.Hang Mansion is now surrounded by soldiers and is impenetrable, what can he do?What's more, he is not the generation of thieves, how could he do such sneaky things?
"I'm satisfied if you have this heart. Sit down and let me play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for you again." She slowly stroked the zither, melodious and desolate.
Fengxi Fengxi returned to her hometown and traveled around the world to seek her phoenix.
The time has not met and there is no general, He Wu is now promoted to Sitang.
There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the people in the room are poisoning my intestines.
He Yuan crossed his neck as a mandarin duck, Hu Jie and Xi flew together.
Huang Xi Huang Xi lives with me, and I have to entrust Yu Wei to be the concubine forever.
Friendship and heart are harmonious, who will know each other in the middle of the night?
Both wings rise and fly high, and I feel sad.
Jiang Yulin's eyes were filled with confusion when he heard the smell, and he felt melancholy again when he thought of the scenes of getting along with each other in the past.He is responsible for such an outcome.How could he not know the implication of Feng Qiuhuang?But he can only pretend not to know.
During the plucking, Hang Jiaxiuying's eyes never moved away from Jiang Yulin's body. When she thought that the blink of an eye was the time for farewell, a few tears slowly ran across her sad face.At the end of the song, she said in a voice, "Zhang Xian speaks for me, I feel uncomfortable and hesitant. The sound of the qin and zither makes me feel sad. Tonight may be the last time you and I are alone. I have been around Wushan, but I haven't seen the sea. You and I are destined or not.
"You're right. You and I have a destiny, we've known each other since childhood. If you and I don't have a destiny, it's hard to become a phoenix and a phoenix."
Hang Jiaxiuying got up and said firmly, "There is no absolute in everything, not necessarily." She walked slowly to Jiang Yulin, and said, "Yulin, my heart is so twisted. I don't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to leave the man I love Instead, bow down to a strange man, flatter him, and spend the rest of his life with him. Originally, I wanted to beg you to take me away, let's go to a place where no one recognizes us, and start over. But it's too selfish, I know you don't want to Yes, and you can't. You are the only heir of the Jiang family. Uncle Jiang has high hopes for you. You shoulder the responsibility of protecting your family and business. How could you drop everything and take me away? As you said, is it possible that the king of the world is the king? Earth, where can we find shelter. What's more, you have Bao'er in your heart."
