"When I came to greet my relatives, I only remembered it for a long time, and I didn't even see what the yard looked like," Jin Yang stood in this delicate and small yard. How attentive it is to stay up and down for a long time, "I only know now that it looks like this."
The swing frame, the Xiangfei bamboo, the orange tree, the rare flowers and plants, the exquisite stone table, the rockery, the flower window, all of them have a strong boudoir flavor. Jin Yang walked to the orange tree. He was much taller, with thumb-sized fruit on its branches, some of which had dried flower stalks on them.
Gu Cunjing, who was following behind him, saw these green fruits, his mouth couldn't help secreting saliva, and his teeth became sour, because the oranges were so sour that he couldn't help conditioned reflex.
Because he wanted his sister to talk to her parents, the emperor found an excuse. As the dragon guard and master, he had to accompany the emperor to visit his sister's boudoir before she got married.
Opening the door, the furnishings in the room are still the same as before my sister got married. The furnishings on the Baibao Pavilion, the embroidery patterns on the gauze, and even the window screens are new fashionable materials that have only recently been replaced.
Jin Yang felt the reluctance and love of his father-in-law's family for a long time from this room. He turned to look at Gu Cunjing, and when he saw the expression of emotion on his face, he smiled.
Walking to the study room next door, Jin Yang took out a half-old book and found that it was a travel journal. It wrote about the weather and ethnic customs of various places. There were also some labels on it. Time should really like this book.
On the desk, the Four Treasures of the Study are neatly placed, as if the master had never left.
In the corner, there is also a violin stand. The shape of the violin stand is very similar to the Jiuxiao ring pendant, which makes people feel that the owner of the study is a woman with a high quality and blue heart just by looking at it.
In the early years, he did not live very well in the Cheng Wang Mansion. Although he was able to learn some piano skills, it was difficult for him to be elegant. Reaching out and plucking the strings, he knew that this was a rare and good piano, "I've never heard of a piano for a long time."
"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will make a joke. Before she leaves the court, the Empress is not very good at the piano," Gu Cunjing raised his head and saw that His Majesty was taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping the strings of the piano, "After marrying into the palace, no one cares. With her, she naturally doesn't want to touch these anymore."
"Is she not good at playing the piano?" Jin Yang retracted his hand and turned to look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. The beautiful characters were even more beautiful, which made people's eyes light up, "These are all things I did in my spare time. ?" Just by looking at it, he can be sure that these calligraphy and paintings must be Gu Rujiu's work.
"It's not bad," Gu Cunjing shook his head, "it's just not good."
Jin Yang nodded, walked to the bookshelf, looked at the neat rows of books on the bookshelf, and said with a smile, "You guys are very fond of you for a long time."
Even in a wealthy family, all the books in the family are accumulated together, and there may not be so many books. And the Gu family is just a girl's study, so there are so many books, some of which are even unique books that can't be found outside.
He has long heard that the Gu family has a profound background, and now it seems that it is true.
"My father said that this worldly woman is not easier than a man, so the family loves the two younger sisters more." Gu Cunjing smiled and pulled out a book. He remembered that this book was a few years ago. He ran several books Si Cai found it. At that time, my sister was so happy that she devoted two days to him.
"Lord Taishan has this kind of thought, which is very rare." Jin Yang looked around the room, thinking that he had been reading books and writing here for a long time, day and night, and said with a smile, "Let's go back, I think they are almost talking. ."
Gu Cunjing glanced at the sky outside, it was time to return to the palace at this hour.
In the main courtyard, Gu Rujiu and her parents had endless things to say. When Jin Yang and Gu Cunjing came back, she suddenly realized that time had passed so quickly. Although she was reluctant to give up, she knew in her heart that Jin Yang had brought her out in a small dress, and if she stayed for too long, she was afraid that it would bring trouble to Jin Yang.
"Father, mother, it's getting late, and it's time for my daughter to go back to the palace." She stood up and gave a blessing to Mrs. Yang and Gu Changling. "Please take care of your health, father and mother, and don't let your daughter worry."
"We know, you... Be careful with everything." Yang shi smiled reluctantly, because Jin Yang was there, she couldn't say anything more, so she reached out and touched Gu Rujiu's cheek, "I forgot to tell you about a happy event. , your second sister-in-law is nearly two months pregnant."
"Really? Why didn't you let me tell me earlier," Gu Rujiu smiled, looking at Mrs. Hu who was standing behind her mother, and said with joy, "Congratulations to my sister-in-law."
Hu Shi smiled and whispered: "Now that you have to manage the harem, how can I bother you because of this trivial matter?"
"How can this be a trivial matter," Gu Rujiu pretended to be displeased, "sister-in-law said so, but she treated me as an outsider."
Seeing that the sister-in-law became the queen, she did not alienate her, and the original sense of restraint gradually disappeared. She smiled and said, "It's mine or not, I will be the first to tell you in the future."
"No need for the first one," Gu Rujiu glanced at Gu Cunjing with a smile, "With the second brother here, I'd better be the second one."
The family joked a few more words, because of this good news, Gu Rujiu's reluctance and sadness in his heart also decreased a little, at least when he walked out of the gate of Gu's house, he was not so sad.
"Don't be sad, I'll take you out again next time," Jin Yang squeezed her fingers, turned and bowed to Gu Changling and others, "Father-in-law, father-in-law, please don't send it any more."
Gu Changling returned the salute and glanced at Gu Rujiu who was standing behind Jin Yang: "My little girl has troubled Your Majesty."
Jin Yang smiled: "I made Jiujiu worry a lot."
Gu Changling didn't know whether his words were polite or sincere, but he still insisted on sending the couple to the gate. At this moment, Bai Xian and He Ming had already arranged the carriage back to the palace and stood respectfully beside the carriage.
"Please stay, stay." After Jin Yang gave Gu Changling another junior salute, he stretched out his hand to help Gu Rujiu.
Gu Rujiu turned around to face Gu Changling and blessed her, and with red eyes, she supported Jin Yang's hand on the carriage.
Watching her daughter's figure disappear behind the curtain, Gu Changling bowed to the end: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress."
The carriage gurgles forward, Gu Changling slowly stands up straight, and stares blankly at the carriage away, until he can no longer see it, he lifts his stiff legs and walks back slowly.
The setting sun pulled his shadow very long, like a line of missing his daughter. Although he tried his best to protect his daughter under his own wings, there was too much helplessness.
"Miss, the capital is very prosperous," a maid with a double bun in the carriage lifted the window screen with great interest, looked at the people coming and going outside, and said excitedly, "It really deserves to be the capital."
"Whether it's lively or deserted, how much does it have to do with me?" The girl who was called "Miss" by the little maid was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She wore a simple bun and was fastened with only a few hairpins. , looks extraordinarily bland.
Her complexion is fair, and her palm-sized cheeks look a little weak and cold, like frost flowers in winter. Maybe not particularly beautiful, but definitely touching.
The little maid, Mingcui, saw the young lady like this, so she did her job honestly and said in a low voice, "It's the slave maid who got carried away with joy."
"You are still young, so you should be curious when you see the prosperity in the capital." She stretched out her hand, wearing a silver bracelet on her thin wrist. Because she was too thin, it looked a little empty. She lifted a corner of the curtain and she was the first All you can see are wide avenues and rows of shops that look very stylish.
Compared with the capital, Jinzhou is too small and shabby.
The carriage went on for a while, suddenly stopped and then backed up a distance. She lifted the curtain curiously, and saw a luxurious red-topped carriage winding by, the copper bells hanging on the carriage rattled. A very pleasant sound.
Although she has never been to the capital, she also knows that this is a carriage that can only be ridden by Xiangjun.
"The carriage that passed by just now is so beautiful," Mingcui said enviously, "there are even gems inlaid on the carriage."
"It is said that His Majesty is very fond of the Empress today. He not only rewarded her family, but also gave her a fragrant treasure carriage. This carriage has the imperial logo and is regulated by the village monarch," she whispered, "The past one just now. Human, most likely the Queen's sister."
"The Queen's sister?" Ming Cui swallowed her saliva, her eyes full of awe for such a big man.
Seeing the maid's expression on her face, she forced her lips to twitch, and returned to her desolate appearance.
What does a noble person have to do with her
She lowered her head, remembering the beautiful young man she saw five years ago, and shook her head and laughed at herself. The past cannot be looked back. She is a woman who is away from home, why should she think about things she shouldn't think about.
Not long after the carriage went forward, it stopped again, and then she heard that it seemed to be a lot quieter outside the carriage.
Lifting the curtains, it turned out that they were riding a tall horse, with a flamboyant dragon guard passing by, and behind them was a carriage with no discernible regulation.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, just when she was wondering who was in the carriage, the people in the opposite carriage also lifted the curtain.
The face behind the curtain is very beautiful, but even better is the pair of smart eyes. Just looking at these eyes seems to give people infinite vitality.
The other party didn't seem to think that she also lifted the curtain and looked over. She was stunned for a while, and then she put down the curtain after showing a gentle smile.
She stared blankly at the carriage, but the pair of smart eyes couldn't be shaken away from the bottom of her heart.
Probably someone with such a pair of eyes is truly alive.
"I saw a beautiful woman just now," Gu Rujiu lowered the curtain and said to Jin Yang, "The face with melon seeds, the eyebrows with willow leaves, and the almond eyes, she looks like the person in the painting."
"Really?" Jin Yang saw that he seemed to be very interested in the beauty for a long time, and pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "Is it better than me?"
"Uh..." Gu Rujiu hurriedly reached out and patted his head, "Of course you are the best-looking, these are two different kinds of looks."
"What's the difference?" Jin Yang asked with a serious face, as if he didn't give up on the answer.
"The beauty just now, I'll just take a look, a beauty like you," Gu Rujiu smiled and reached out to touch his cheek, "I want to eat it in one bite."
"Did I eat you, or did you eat me?" Jin Yang lowered his head, his eyes dimmed, "In my eyes, you are the most delicious and delicious meal."
Gu Rujiu pointed at his Adam's apple: "Why don't you try it after you go back?"
As soon as he grabbed her hand, Jin Yang smiled and said, "I also want to."
That night, the two returned to the palace and fought a battle. This battle made Jin Yang wake up the next day with a spring breeze on his face, and everyone was pleasing to the eye.
Jin Xiang, who was on duty, saw Jin Yang with a smile on his brows and eyes, looking like he was full and full, and couldn't help coughing twice, as expected of the Empress, only she could coax His Majesty into such a happy state.
The local officials who have recently served in Beijing have basically taken office, and even the governor of Jinzhou, who lives far away, has also arrived in the capital. Because the prefect of Jinzhou once helped Jin Yang, Jin Yang specially summoned Tian Enguang in the imperial study.
Fortunately, Tian Enguang didn't sleep well all night, and got up early in the morning to prepare, worried that there was something wrong with him that would arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction.
"Father," his daughter walked in front of him, bent over and took care of the jade pendant on his waist, and whispered, "I see you under Your Majesty, firstly because we did him a favor, and secondly because of you. You don't have to be so nervous in managing Jinzhou over the years."
"How can you not be nervous?" Tian Enguang took a deep breath. "You are young, so you don't know how powerful this is." As a young emperor with great power, the other party may not be happy to see those who know how embarrassed he was in the past. , don't say that suffering is important at that time, I'm just afraid that one carelessness will tire the whole family.
"Your Majesty can make the world of Dafeng prosperous at a young age, how can you be such an ungrateful person," his daughter said lightly. Be loyal and patriotic, that's all. Don't bring up the things of the past, even if your Majesty takes the initiative to mention it, don't talk to me at will."
"I've lived for my father for so many years, how can I not know this," Tian Enguang waved his hand and sighed when he saw his daughter's thin and weak appearance, "You don't need to worry about this, so you can have a healthy body."
Tian Biyue smiled before hearing the words: "I know, father doesn't have to worry."
"It was your father's fault at the beginning, you shouldn't have forced you to marry that class of people, who would have known he would be such a jerk," Tian Enguang sighed, "It's just that you can no longer have the thoughts of the past, this is the capital, we are from such a background, In front of an aristocratic family like the Gu family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, it's not even worthy of being seen." So you don't have to think about things you can't think about.
Today is not the first emperor, and his daughter does not have the fate of the current queen mother. Those who want to lose their heads, it is better to rest earlier.
After Tian Enguang entered the palace, he did not see the emperor immediately, but waited for a while before the eunuch came to lead him in.
The weather in June was very hot, and he just stood outside for a while, and the sweat on his back had soaked his clothes. Walking into the imperial study, he only felt a cold air blowing towards his face, which relieved the nervous expression on his face by two points.
He didn't dare to look up at the black figure behind the imperial case, so he took a few steps forward and gave a big salute: "Wei Chen, Jinzhou Inspector Tian Enguang, I'll meet your Majesty." Because he has not yet served in Taipu Temple, he can only call himself Jinzhou Inspector. .
"No ceremony, give a seat." Jin Yang looked at Tian Enguang, who was still the same as a few years ago, with a cautious temperament. Such a person is also suitable for Taipu Siqing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tian Enguang carefully sat on half of his buttocks, not knowing how to put his hands and feet on them, but he felt a little cold in the comfortable room just now.
"Master Tian has worked hard all the way," Jin Yang was in a better mood today, and his tone was very gentle, "We haven't seen each other for five or six years, how are your family members?"
"Your Majesty asked, everything in Wei Chen's family is fine." Tian Enguang repeatedly said yes or no, and now he has to say yes.
"Well," Jin Yang nodded, seeing Tian Enguang's appearance, he smiled and said, "Master Tian doesn't need to be cautious, just take it as a gossip with me, if it wasn't for you and your family's daughter to help you, I'm afraid I'll pay you back Can't come to the capital."
"Don't dare, don't dare," Tian Enguang said again and again, "Your Majesty is destined to return, even if there is no Weichen, there is still God to help. Weichen is only due to His Majesty's favor, so he can offer his modest power to His Majesty."
Jin Yang smiled and didn't take Tian Enguang's flattery seriously. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Speaking of the daughter of your family, I don't know which family she was talking about?"
"This... I'm ashamed to say it. The little girl was married two years ago, but her husband's family... has now returned home with Li." Tian Enguang didn't dare to speak ill of the other party, and he didn't dare to lie, so he replied vaguely.
"This is because the other party has no eyes," Jin Yang said with a smile, "There are countless good sons in Beijing, and Master Tian will definitely be able to find Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law."
"Wei Chen, thank Your Majesty for the good words." Tian Enguang heard His Majesty mentioning his daughter's tone, and knew that what happened back then was her daughter's self-love. How old was His Majesty, twelve or thirteen years old, how could he know the love between men and women? It's a pity that her daughter is precocious, and she has a girlish mind. If His Majesty did not adopt the current empress dowager to become emperor, his daughter's mind might be fulfilled. Now the other party is a high-ranking emperor, a wise king praised by the people, and a noble daughter from a noble family. How can I remember you as a girl from a remote state and county
The two rulers and ministers were talking when Tian Enguang saw a blue-robed eunuch come in with a cup of something, and he looked cautiously, as if he was holding a golden baby instead of a cup of soup.
"Your Majesty, this is the summer soup that the Queen Mother personally cooked for you." Bai Xian glanced at the ice bowls in the corner of the study and buried his head even lower, "The Queen also said, Your Majesty, you are not allowed in the study. Putting too much ice on it is not good for your health."
He knew that His Majesty was afraid of the heat, so the request of the Empress to ask His Majesty to put less ice basins was a bit difficult.
Jin Yang lifted the lid of the soup cup and took a few sips of soup, "Let someone move it down to an ice basin."
A eunuch stepped forward to remove a basin.
He took two more sips and sighed, "Two more pots."
Bai Xian bowed to Jin Yang: "It's good that your majesty likes the soup made by the maiden. The slave will report to the maiden, she will be happy."
"Okay, I still don't know what you're thinking, old guy," Jin Yang laughed angrily, waved him to step back, and continued to drink the soup with his head down.
The soup cup was not big, and he was half full after drinking it. Swallowing the last spoonful of soup, Jin Yang rinsed his mouth and washed his hands under the service of the eunuchs, and then said to Tian Enguang, who was sitting in his seat and motionless, "The queen has always been like this, always worried about my health. , This soup is watery, it's not enough to not drink it."
He Ming next to him lowered his head and thought, Your Majesty, if the smile on your face was not so bright, it might be a little more convincing.
Obviously, Tian Enguang, who had enough brains, naturally saw that His Majesty was not dissatisfied with the Empress, but was not satisfied, so he dared to say: "We are more courteous, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me."
"you say."
"Wei Chen thought that the empress is a noble daughter of a noble family, but she is willing to wash the soup for your majesty, which shows how much the empress loves you. Otherwise, there are countless servants in the palace, why would the empress do it in such a hot season? How about making soup for you?"
"You're right, that's why I can't bear to waste her thought, just drink it all." Jin Yang said with a sweet look of distress, "Oh, there's nothing I can do."
He Ming: Haha.
Tian Enguang: As for my daughter, you should give up your mind earlier. In the eyes of the emperor, there is probably no one else except the queen.
"Niangniang, when the servants sent the soup, although His Majesty was meeting the Governor of Jinzhou, the soup had already been used." Bai Xian smiled and said, "You also said that your soup tastes good."
"Prefect of Jinzhou?" Gu Rujiu is not a fool. With Bai Xian's character, he usually rarely mentions who Jin Yang has met. Now that he takes the initiative to mention this person, there must be a reason, "Is this person also an official who was recently transferred to Beijing?" The Inspector Ren is actually similar to the decoration. There must be some reason why Jin Yang transferred this person to Beijing.
"When His Majesty entered the capital, he was harassed by the Concubine Ji. After the daughter of Tian Shishi's family found out about this, she told her father. With the help of two people, His Majesty was able to successfully enter the capital and meet the late emperor and the queen dowager. Bai Xian paused for a moment and then said, "The servant heard that this girl Tian married a non-human person a few years ago, and she and Li returned home a few years ago, and now she has entered the capital with Lord Tian."
"It's not easy," Gu Rujiu sighed after hearing this. "After all, it's someone who has helped His Majesty, so Ben Gong should thank you." After speaking, she asked the two eunuchs to bring thank you gifts to the Tian family girl. .
Bai Xian Zuo said: "The empress is really benevolent, that's just their way of serving as ministers, and it's worthy of your reward."
That's why he often said that the current queen is not a good person. Even if he is jealous, he still can't be picked wrong
She is a girl from the provincial governor's family, can she afford the Queen's thanks
"She helped the man in this palace, and this palace naturally wants to thank you." Gu Rujiu smiled, looked up and saw Jin Yang walking in, raised her eyebrows, "Your Majesty, do you think this is the truth?"
Bai Xian looked back and saw His Majesty's face smiling. As a firm Queen's Party, he immediately felt relieved.
That pretty girl from the Tian family is out of drama, and looking at His Majesty's appearance, I'm afraid she can't even remember what the other party looks like.
