Xie Wei didn't really call her here to test her homework. He first asked about the banknotes, and checked how well she played the piano, and the sword book hurriedly came out to report: "Three Divisions Trial, Your Highness. Please come over there."
Xie Wei paused and said, "Let's go now."
What other cases still need a three-division trial
Jiang Xuening knew it immediately, and his expression became a little more dazed, and he lost the strength to argue with Xie Wei about the 50,000 taels.
Xie Wei went to the yamen of the Punishment Department, while Jiang Xuening went home.
Feeling a little down all the way.
But she didn't expect that the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the mansion, and she just lifted the curtain and got out of her head, when she heard a laugh from outside: "I also said that today was unfortunate, and I deliberately slipped out of the palace to find you, but I was in the wrong place. Catch up with you not at home. I didn't expect to wait long before you came back."
This voice is clear and lingering, very nice.
Jiang Xuening is very familiar.
Almost as soon as she heard it, her eyes lit up, she looked at the source of the voice, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "His Royal Highness!"
It was Shen Zhiyi who stood at the door with her hands behind her back.
Today, she was wearing an aqua blue riding uniform, with her thin waist and wrists tightly tucked, standing in front of a beautiful burgundy horse, her black hair like a cloud tied up in a braid, A whip was still spinning between the slender, white fingers.
She had a smile on her face, very bright.
Although there is a scar under the corner of the eye, but at this moment, it has weakened the softness of the delicate facial features, adding an unprecedented sassy.
Jiang Xuening had never seen her dressed up like this before, she was shocked when she first saw it, and then she showed unconcealed surprise, jumped out of the car and came to Shen Zhiyi, and said happily: "Your Highness is so beautiful."
I haven't seen each other for more than a month, and Shen Zhiyi seems to have changed a bit.
The original charming look on her face sank, and there was a kind of silence and steadiness that only imperial princesses have, but her eyes seemed to be a bit more frosty and cold, but she became more and more noble.
Hearing Shen Zhiyi say this, she laughed.
He only said, "Where have you been and why are you only back now?"
Jiang Xuening then remembered what happened in Xie Wei's mansion, and he had to give him a small report in front of Shen Zhiyi, saying: "Although the palace has ordered us to leave the palace temporarily, don't think that your Highness will not have to go to school. , Mr. Xie sent someone to escort me to the school today. I almost didn't come back alive."
As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue.
However, Shen Zhiyi only thought she was exaggerating, she smiled when she heard the words, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Mr. Xie treats you harshly, but it is also very different, you should treat her well. The only thing you need to know is that you can get him like this. There are not many people with blue eyes."
Jiang Xuening was startled: "Why do you think it's weird for you to say this?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't explain much, she just asked the only guard who came out with her today to hand over another horse whip to Jiang Xuening, and said, "Today, I came out of the palace to play with you. I haven't been able to go out to see the palace for many years. What did you play with Yanlin in the past, take me there too."
Jiang Xuening stared blankly at the whip: "But I can't ride a horse."
Shen Zhiyi said: "Then it's fine to accompany me for a walk right away."
Jiang Xuening thought that this was not difficult, so with the help of the guard next to him, he climbed up to the horse unseemly, pulled the reins nervously, and went to the street with Shen Zhiyi.
The weather in Beijing is already cold, and there are not so many people.
However, such two beautiful women were walking in the street market on horseback, which undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.
Jiang Xuening was very familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital, so he pointed to the shops and buildings on the left and right and told her, and soon he arrived at the west side of the city, and then suddenly remembered and asked, "Your Highness has been in the palace these days..."
Shen Zhiyi said: "Fortunately, after all, she is the emperor's sister, who dares to embarrass me?"
Jiang Xuening did not dare to ask more.
Speaking of it, according to the time of the last life, if the letter did not appear, the case of Yongyi Hou's mansion should have come to an end, right
She has done everything she can in this life, but she doesn't know what the final result will be.
The two horses arrived near a street, only to hear the sound of chirping and chirping in front of them.
Everyone crowded on both sides of the road to watch the fun.
Shen Zhiyi became curious: "What are you doing ahead?"
Jiang Xuening looked at the direction of this road with a familiar eye, and his mind suddenly flashed like lightning. He immediately patted his head and shouted: "Oops, I forgot, Fangyin is leaving the cabinet today!"
The events of the past two days were too dignified and exciting, and her whole heart was thrown on it. This morning, she was called away by the people from Xie Wei's side. How could she have time to think about it? The people who were sent to pick up the relatives had arrived, and it was naturally today that You Fangyin left the pavilion.
Shen Zhiyi seemed to have heard this name before, and said, "Is that the concubine of the Uncle's House?"
Jiang Xuening was a little surprised that she knew, but she didn't think about it further, she only said: "I have to take her for a ride, does His Highness want to come with me?"
Shen Zhiyi said, "Then go take a look."
I heard that this You Fangyin was saved by Ning Ning. That day was the Double Ninth Banquet in Qingyuan Uncle’s Mansion. Although Shen Zhiyi went a little later, she had also heard about this, and she was a little curious about this concubine Fangyin. what.
So he grabbed the reins and followed Jiang Xuening.
But instead of going to Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion, they went straight out of the city and waited outside a tea shop on the road near the city gate.
When you leave and enter Beijing, you have to go through this official road.
There are many pedestrians coming and going.
Some merchants were resting in the tea shop.
The tea lady in the jingchai cloth skirt carried the teapot and walked between the tables with a smile on her face, adding tea for the guests.
As soon as Jiang Xuening and Shen Zhiyi's horse arrived, the lady greeted them warmly and asked them, "Would the two girls come down for a break and have a cup of tea?"
Jiang Xuening said: "Just here."
Shen Zhiyi flicked the reins, turned over and dismounted from the horse, tied the horse beside her, and walked into the tea shed first. However, when he looked down and saw the dark and greasy patch on the bench, he couldn't sit down.
Seeing that the two of them were dressed up, Madam Cha Shui knew whether she was rich or expensive, and hurriedly came up with a towel and wiped the bench vigorously. However, this bench has been sitting for many years, and no matter how much you wipe it, it will not be much better. It made her a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassedly: "The small shop is shabby, which made the two girls laugh."
The woman's smile was genuine.
There was a bit of shyness in that smile.
Shen Zhiyi had never been in contact with such a person before, so she was stunned before saying, "It's okay."
The lady put two tea bowls on the table, filled them with tea, and said, "Seeing as you two should be waiting for someone here, the tea is poor, so I have to settle for some."
Jiang Xuening sat down and took a sip, smiled and said, "It's pretty good too."
The lady didn't expect that this little girl looked so delicate but didn't seem to care about it. She was stunned for a while before walking away with the tea.
The presence of such two girls in such a humble tea shop will inevitably attract the attention of the people around.
But this is outside the capital after all, who doesn't know that it is at the feet of the emperor
I want to know that the identities of these two girls are not simple, even the two horses tied outside are unusual, and no one dares to come up to chat with them, and no one dares to give birth to any evil intentions.
"It's not easy to go south and north to do business now. When it comes to winter, the border is very chaotic. This year, I don't know why the court doesn't even send troops, so I can't do business, so I can only come back early for the New Year. I know, I'm going to scold again!"
"You don't know yet, something happened in Jingli..."
"Yeah, Marquis Yongyi."
"It's not that bad. There are all ways in the world. Business in the north is not easy to do, so go south. There is no foreign harassment, and the products are abundant. You can make a lot of money on a trip. The imperial court is also doing business. You see, this official road goes straight from north to south, traverses east and west, and it takes only a few days to go to Shu. Going on a trip will save you a lot of money.”
"Ouch, speaking of this Shu land..."
…
The merchants all traveled from south to north, and they chatted quickly. Occasionally, the children brought by the couple were crying and playing, which made this small shop extraordinarily lively.
Jiang Xuening listened to them talking about the imperial court, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi's eyes fell on the thick tea in front of her.
Her fingers rested on the rough edge of the tea bowl, and it took a long time for Jiang Xuening to open her mouth, but before she could say anything, Shen Zhiyi took a small sip.
The tea in this roadside tea shop is brewed with the slag left by the high-quality tea leaves.
It really doesn't even count as a word.
Shen Zhiyi's expression was a little dazed.
Jiang Xuening stared at her, not sure until this time: Shen Zhiyi came out with something on her mind, she seemed to be thinking about something along the way, and she didn't let go even when she saw her.
But at this time, I didn't dare to ask.
As I was thinking to myself, some dust was splashed on the road not far away. Several horses came over while protecting a carriage, and a bright red silk was tied on the head of the carriage. It was a happy event at first sight.
Marriage is such a rule.
The husband's family will send someone to pick him up, and the mother's family will follow the gentleman's etiquette and send their daughters all the way to the husband's house.
The burly man who had been to the Shuxiang Inn yesterday to report the news looked at the tea shed in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and was about to ask the car if he wanted to stop and drink water before leaving.
Unexpectedly, someone in the tea shed shouted: "Fang Yin!"
It would take some distance to get to Shu, and it would take half a month for them to arrive, so You Fangyin didn't put on a wedding dress today, but only wore brightly colored clothes with flowers on her bun.
When I first came out of the house, I was still a little disappointed.
But when she heard this shout, she suddenly turned happy, and immediately said to Han Shishan, "Stop here!"
You Fangyin got out of the car.
Jiang Xuening came out of the tea shed, and Shen Zhiyi followed her and walked this way.
Han Shishan was the escort hired by Ren Weizhi. He was highly skilled in martial arts. He happened to escort You Fangyin all the way to Shu. At this moment, he saw two beautiful girls walking towards him. .
You Fangyin was about to burst into tears in an instant: "I thought the girl wouldn't come to see me off."
Jiang Xuening said "Yeah": "Why, it's also a good day for marriage. All makeup is on. You cried and spent a lot of money, but no one will make it up for you. Isn't this coming?"
Shen Zhiyi was beside her, looked at You Fangyin, and at the people behind her who sent her to Shu.
So he asked, "Where is this going to marry?"
Only then did You Fangyin notice that there was someone next to Jiang Xuening. When she raised her eyes, she noticed her face first, and then the scar under the corner of her eye. She was a little curious, but she was a little timid when a stranger was present.
Jiang Xuening said: "This is Princess Leyang, who takes good care of me in the palace."
You Fangyin was taken aback when she said "Leyang Princess";
But then she heard that she was taking care of Jiang Xuening in the palace, and her expression became a little more grateful and close, as if it was not Jiang Xuening who was taken care of, but herself.
He hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
The escorts around, including Han Shishan, were startled. They thought that the future mistress was just a prostitute from the uncle's house. Who would have expected that there would be a princess among the people who came to see her at this moment. Afraid, but also admiring You Fangyin, secretly said that the future mistress is a capable person, and she will be underestimated after she can't see the surface.
Shen Zhiyi said lightly, "You don't need to be too polite."
You Fangyin then answered tremblingly: "I'm going to marry to the land of Shu, I have never been so far since I was born. I heard that the mountains are high and the road is far away, so I sent so many people to pick them up. The Shu Road is too high to be dangerous!"
Shen Zhiyi was in a trance again: "It's that far..."
"Yeah, I don't know if I can come back after leaving the capital."
You Fangyin nodded, and seemed to have some worries and sorrows, but she looked back at the magnificent capital covered by the dark clouds of winter behind her, her delicate eyebrows relaxed, and worries and sorrows also turned into relief. with anticipation.
"But it's better not to come back if you go far, far away."
For her, in this capital, apart from the second girl, there is nothing to be missed.
go and go.
Even if he comes back one day, it must be for Jiang Xuening.
She didn't have much reluctance to leave her homeland. Instead, she was full of eager expectations for the upcoming new life. The whole person was reborn from the inside to the outside, revealing a radiant clarity.
The gray sky covered the earth at a low level, withered trees layered shadows on the distant mountains, and occasionally a shadow of a jackdaw could be glimpsed across the sky, avoiding the forest.
The geese had already flown to the south.
The ground is full of decaying grass, but next year when the spring wind blows, the mountains will be green.
Shen Zhiyi's eyes also went far along with the waning grass. She went to the gloomy and depressing sky, as if she was chasing the Jackdaw who had disappeared without a trace, and she didn't know where to go.
Leaving the capital and marrying far away in Shu.
She smiled lightly, but there seemed to be an indescribable desolation and melancholy between her eyebrows, and said, "It's not bad to go far, I really envy you, and you will be free if you leave here."
"… "
Jiang Xuening finally knew where the trouble came from.
When did Shen Zhiyi go to Fanbang to have a kiss in the last life
Just after the new year.
She thought it was still a few months away, but did Shen Zhiyi already know about it
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
On the official road in the direction of the capital, a group of imperial guards came quickly, and they came all the way to their vicinity. The leader saw Shen Zhiyi and only felt relieved. Your Highness, the Empress Dowager and the sage were a little worried when they learned that you were out of the city, and the last commander came to protect you."
Shen Zhiyi's expression became a little more sullen.
She knew long ago that it would not be long before she agreed to let her go out of the palace to relax.
So he laughed and said to Jiang Xuening, "I went back to the palace."
Jiang Xuening's heart suddenly twitched, and at that moment, she felt all kinds of sadness, and she didn't know where the courage came from, she grabbed a corner of Shen Zhiyi's clothes, and suddenly couldn't help the impulse to ask her: "Your Highness doesn't want to either. Are you staying in the palace?"
Shen Zhiyi paused, looked back at her, was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly, and said, "Who would think?"
But there seems to be nothing else to say.
There are people in this world who can't help themselves.
She turned around and went straight back to her horse, and regardless of the guards who were ordered to protect her, she galloped towards the capital, leaving everyone behind.
Jiang Xuening stood there, watching her figure disappear on the official road from a distance, obscured by the shadowy sky, and did not move for a long time.
On this day, she sent You Fangyin away.
On this day, the envoys of the Tartars who came to ask for marriage went to Beijing to meet the emperor.
It was also on this day that she led two horses back to Jiang's mansion alone, and was called by Jiang Boyu, saying, "The Three Divisions Council has finalized the case, and the Marquis of Yongyi colluded with King Pingnan to rebel against the party, and he had the intention of not being a minister. Nian's family once made meritorious deeds for the Sheji, and the sage could not bear to be executed, and the three clans were pardoned for their capital crimes, their family wealth was confiscated, and their nobles were reduced to common people. Alas, the imperial decree has been issued, it is a fortune among misfortunes!"
