The pages of the booklet were spread out in front of her eyes, Jiang Rao glanced over and threw the booklet away as if her fingers were burned by fire.
It is the dowry book.
She obviously only watched it the night before she got married, yet my aunt put it in the bottom of the box and sent it to her so early.
She looked at the other things in the box again, and suddenly felt bad.
Ming Shao grabbed the booklet, closed it, and held it in front of Jiang Rao, "Girl, this... Do you still read it? The imperial concubine is quite attentive."
How many years older than Jiang Rao? Ming Shao seemed much calmer, while Jiang Rao hid on the beauty's couch and buried herself in a pillow, "Don't look." His voice was muffled in the pillow.
Ming Shao didn't hear it, and asked again, "Have a look?"
Jiang Rao: "..."
She thought to herself, is it normal for those girls who marry the person they like to face this kind of dowry letter before they get married
She was afraid that Ming Shao would see something wrong, so she raised her eyes from the pillow, her face as calm as possible, "Let's put it here first."
There is nothing to accept.
She put away the booklet and put it under her pillow, thinking that it would be fine if she didn't read it, it was nothing.
Ming Shao put the pamphlet under the pillow, "Girl's wedding will be handled by Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Etiquette. It will be very lively then."
Jiang Rao didn't care much about whether the wedding was lively or not.
She has other things to care about, and she doesn't care about the day of the wedding, or even the scene of the wedding day.
——She cares about the movements of Yijia and the queen.
After counting the items sent by Concubine Yun Gui, Jiang Rao finally went out.
Even though she couldn't see Rong Ting, she still boarded the carriage and went outside to have a look.
Yesterday, Hu Tang handed her a letter of greeting. Although Hu Tang and Mrs. Hu failed to say something nice for her father publicly, they wrote a letter to the family and sent it to the military camp in the northwest, asking General Hu to come forward to protect her father.
Although the letter was of no use, Jiang Rao thought that she would still meet Hu Tang, at least to thank Mrs. Hu.
The streets are bustling, gathering towards the south.
Jiang Rao glanced at the window pane on the side of the cross painting.
There is a lot of voices, I don't know what they are talking about.
She stopped the carriage and asked Ming Shao to go down to inquire about it. When Ming Shao came back, she closed the curtain and said to Jiang Rao:
"Last night, a big fire broke out at Lord Shen Que's house. Many people died, Mrs. Shen and Lord Shen's daughter were buried in the flames."
dead
Jiang Rao felt a little cold when she heard Shen Xiuying's name again,
"When I carried it out, I couldn't see who was who. It's really pitiful." Ming Shao felt lingering fear, "It's dry in winter, and when I go back, I have to instruct the maids in the yard to be careful with the candles." fire."
Jiang Rao looked away.
She heard that when Shen Que was arrested, his wife made peace with him, but Shen Que didn't give him the divorce letter in the end.
The quarrel caused the relationship between the two of them to be broken, and they didn't show respect to each other, and now they are separated from each other in this way.
Sure enough, good and evil have their own destinations.
Ming Shao sighed, "Girl, you said Mr. Shen has a good career, why did you want to frame our master?"
"Perhaps, ghosts are fascinated." Jiang Rao said lightly.
I didn't think so in my heart.
She just couldn't mention the Queen to Ming Shao yet.
She once suspected that Shen Que had hired someone to forge calligraphy and paintings, whether she was instigated by her uncle.
But Shen Que is a follower of power, ever since her uncle was expelled from the house, Shen Que has cut off communication with her uncle, she is not the kind of loyal person who can do anything for the sake of her brother.
It's just that a little Shen Que can almost deceive her father, saying that it's his ability alone, but she doesn't believe it.
Think about the silver snake pattern that Liao Qiubai mentioned...
Jiang Rao raised her hand and pressed her sore temple.
Empress Jiahe, Xu Lanruo.
Either her or the Xu family.
Even if it is not the mastermind behind the scenes, it is still related.
Really... damn it.
She had never cursed someone to death before.
Others don't want her to live a good life.
Jiang Rao wanted to get close to Empress Jiahe, but after she entered the palace, Shuxiang Palace was always separated from Jinxiu Palace, and she rarely saw Empress Jiahe.
Except for the palace banquet, there is no chance to meet at all.
She tried to find a way to directly attack Empress Jiahe, but she might not be able to do it well.
It's better to start from the Xu family.
But she knew too little about the Xu family.
Hu Mansion has arrived.
Jiang Rao stopped thinking about it, got out of the carriage, and was taken to Hu Tang's courtyard by the maid.
Hu's mansion is no more spacious than Ning Anbo's mansion, it is very simple and concise.
There were not many things in Hu Tang's place, the entire courtyard was bare, and the only two potted plants were huddled in the corner, so that it would be convenient for Hu Tang to practice martial arts without getting in the way.
Jiang Rao walked in, wondering where the Hutang people who used to come out to greet her happily when they heard of her coming, screams came from under the window of the Nuan Pavilion in the West Wing.
"Mother, mother, I was wrong, you can find another way to torment me, ah, my scalp hurts."
"Aches, aches, aches, I am the girl you raised with great difficulty, I will be gone when I die, woo woo mother..."
When Jiang Rao was led into the warm pavilion in the west chamber by the maid, Mrs. Hu was combing Hu Tang's buns.
Hu Tang was full of reluctance.
Mrs. Hu had a cold face, and she combed it forcefully, "It's bad luck to talk about the word "kill" and "death" every day!"
"This kind of bun..." Hu Tang stroked the bun on the back of his head, pouted his lips, "It's so awkward."
When she heard the maid brought Jiang Rao in, she glanced at her, "Niannian, are you here?"
Listening to Hu Tang's voice outside, Jiang Rao thought she had committed some serious mistake and was being punished, but when she came in, she realized it was a false alarm, she smiled, and saluted Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu replied with a smile, and said, "It's a joke for the girl again."
Jiang Rao shook her head hurriedly.
"The emperor's wedding just arrived, why did you come to our place? You didn't accompany your mother to count the betrothal gifts."
Jiang Rao thought again of the brochure that she had seen in the morning, and the villain that she hadn't seen clearly but had always been rooted in her mind and was entangled with each other when she opened that page. Eyelids, a little ashamed, Mrs. Hu smiled, "This is a great joy, good boy, come here quickly, and let this disobedient family of my family be happy."
Looking back at Hu Tang, her beautiful eyes became sharp blades again.
Hu Tang pouted, hugging Jiang Rao's arm.
After Mrs. Hu went out, Hu Tang glanced behind Jiang Rao and felt relieved when she saw her walking away.
He pulled out the hairpin and threw it on the table, and completely loosened the double bun that Mrs. Hu had tied up for her just now, tied up her hair at will, and did not forget to talk to Jiang Rao, "The marriage is here, waiting for you to marry If you lose someone, you will have less time to spend with me, before you get engaged, you should spend more time with me."
"After you get married, there will be a lot of time I can be with you." Jiang Rao smiled on her face. She didn't tell Hu Tang in detail the reasons for her marriage with Rong Ting, but she thought that even if she and him were Ordinary marriage, his kind of understanding temperament, if she really wants to do something, she will naturally not restrain her, "He is easy to talk."
Hu Tang hesitated to speak, and looked quietly out of the window. The courtyard was empty. In the depth of winter, all the leaves of the trees outside the courtyard had fallen, and the treetops pointed directly at the sky.
Hu Tang's eyesight was sharp, and he could clearly see the bird's nest built on it from a distance.
The trunk is bare.
She turned her gaze back and frowned suspiciously, "Really?"
Jiang Rao nodded affirmatively.
Hu Tang ridiculed, "You're not married yet, so you're already protected."
"We're going to get married, why don't you protect me? Not only do I want to protect, but I also want to be justified."
When she speaks, she is neither arrogant nor overbearing, and she can't see a single point of domineering when looking at her face, which makes people feel her full confidence.
Hu Tang laughed, still looking out from time to time, with an overly suspicious look.
Jiang Rao looked at Hu Tang's movements of looking out frequently, "You want to go outside?"
"That's not the case." Hu Tang shook his head and frowned, "I just feel that there seems to be someone outside."
She was suspicious, "Maybe my mother has hired someone to spy on me again."
She approached the window, looked left and right, and finally determined, "There should be no one."
Jiang Rao pulled her back, "Tang'er, teach me some kung fu."
"Why do you want to learn this all of a sudden?" Hu Tang was surprised by the suddenness.
Jiang Rao glanced down at her embroidered shoes, and said seriously, "Self-protection."
Although the sprained foot in the snow last time still hurts occasionally, it doesn't affect walking anymore.
If Rong Ting hadn't reminded her, she would not have realized that the person who bumped into her smelled of lilac at that time.
She wanted the innate sensitivity of martial arts practitioners.
…
It's a pity that although Jiang Rao's ankle can walk around, if it really needs to move a lot, it should still hurt.
Hu Tang was very strong, seeing that Jiang Rao's feet were really hurting, he let out a sigh, "I can't do it today, we have to wait until later."
She went back to the house, rummaged through the cabinets, and found a few dusty books, brushed away the ashes, and handed them to Jiang Rao, "We'll just read books today."
Jiang Rao flipped through the book, and found that the book was "Women's Admonitions" full of characters, neither the words nor the book looked like Hu Tang's.
She flipped through it again, and confirmed that the handwriting was not Hu Tang's own. She looked at Hu Tang, "Could it be your sister's book?"
The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source. Download the huanyuanapp.org source change app here, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.
Hu Tang took it over, frowned and looked at it for a long time before remembering, "This is Xie Tao's book."
"Xie Tao?" Jiang Rao didn't recognize the name.
"The only concubine daughter of Prince Xiang's mansion, the granddaughter of the master of the country." Hu Tang turned two pages, his face suddenly turned red with shame, "I didn't like writing at the beginning, so I snatched her book here."
"It's a good thing you weren't in Jinling then." Hu Tang felt regretful after thinking about it, "Otherwise I might have snatched your book."
Jiang Rao shook his head, "My father didn't ask me to learn these things seriously, and he only asked me to watch them when he wanted to punish me."
Hu Tang was envious for a moment, Jiang Rao flipped through the booklet and asked thoughtfully, "Can you tell me about Xie Tao?"
The granddaughter of the father-in-law.
That is the Xu family.
Maybe something useful can be obtained from her.
…
In winter, the sun sets early and night falls quickly.
Not long after Rong Ting returned home, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
The person who came in after getting permission was a new face other than Huai Qing and Wu Que.
He is one of the hidden guards that Rong Ting recruited by himself, different from the ones that Jiang Rao arranged by his side, all arranged by himself.
Jiang Rao didn't know about their existence, and Huai Qing Wu Que didn't know about them either.
The man came to Rong Ting's side and lowered his voice to report, "Today, there is no suspicious person around the fourth girl, she has returned home safely."
Rong Ting asked, "Where did she go today?"
The secret guard replied: "The fourth girl stayed with Miss Hu in the General's Mansion for the whole afternoon, reading books and learning kung fu. After leaving the mansion, she even made an appointment for the next meeting."
all afternoon.
Rong Ting unhurriedly repeated the words of the dark guard in his heart.
Rubbing his finger bones, he repeated it again.
Even though Hu Tang is a woman.
It didn't affect his displeasure.
