On the way back, Tonger almost couldn't help the laughter on his face.
Jiang Li was helpless, "Tong'er, take the smile on your face."
"The servant maid wants to laugh as long as he thinks of the tone of the man just now." Tonger said: "The man thought he had knocked the girl a bit hard and was complacent. I'll sell it to the girl for a hundred taels of silver, I don't know how much to regret."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "This is the case in the East Market. After the transaction, no one can go back and go back. If there is no vision, no one would dare to buy things indiscriminately."
"Yes, yes." Tonger smiled and said: "Our girl has a golden eye!"
She had a big heart, and she didn't ask why Jiang Li decided that the horse was a hard-earned BMW. As long as Jiang Li said yes, she would believe it. How many people buy things in the East Market, and they all pay for it cleanly, especially the first time they go there. I never thought that Jiang Li would be able to buy such precious things when I went there for the first time.
"East City is really a good place," Tonger smacked his lips. "If there is a chance in the future, let's go again!"
This child is thinking about playing around. Jiang Li shook his head.
"After I go back, I will scrub the horse clean, and I can't give it to General Ji in a dirty way." Jiang Li said.
"Slaves can save it." Tong'er nodded, feeling a little bit disappointed, "Such a good horse..."
Jiang Li tapped her head lightly: "So what? It only cost five hundred taels of silver!"
"That's what I said." Tonger laughed stupidly again.
When he returned to Jiang’s Mansion, Jiang Li directly brought the horse back to Fangfeiyuan. The yard of Fangfeiyuan was big enough. She asked Bai Xue to wash the horse and clean it. As soon as he returned to the house, the breeze came and sent it. Post, by the way, Jiang Yuanbai and Mrs. Jiang thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let Jiang Li go to the birthday banquet of General Ji.
It was exactly the same as Jiang Li thought.
She answered the post with a smile, letting people go back to Wan Fengtang to find out.
After a while, the sound of white snow rang out from the yard. When Jiang Li looked over, Jiang Li walked out of the house. At first glance, she saw the yard. The maids were gathered together. In the middle, a light golden horse stood in the middle, proud. He raised his head, majestic and majestic.
After washing the sludge, the horse showed its own color, which was actually a pale golden coat. Its hair is extremely smooth and rich, but I don’t know if it’s not bright enough because it didn’t eat enough food before. Even so, this is a very handsome pony with an arrogant posture.
When Tonger saw it, she liked it even more. Zhao Ke, who was hiding in the dark, also saw this scene. He didn't even see that the horse was a sweaty BMW, but he could tell that this horse was very good, even in the stables of the Guogong Mansion. A very good horse. Since ancient times, the hero Ai Liangju has been greedy. He wondered where Jiang Li had found such a mount, but there were other horses left, so he could pick one.
Jiang Li walked to Ma Ju's side. The Ma Ju glanced at her, her eyes still a little arrogant. Jiang Li reached out and touched his forehead, and the pony hummed softly.
The maids all around laughed, and Bai Xue said, "The girl will give it a name."
Jiang Li was about to speak, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No matter, this is a pony for Old General Ji, or it is better for Old General Ji to name it himself."
"It's a boy!" Bai Xue said.
"That would be better." Jiang Li touched the pony. "If it is a girl and put it in the mansion of the government, wouldn't it be a violent thing?"
Zhao Ke: "..."
What is a violent thing? Are the flowers, flowers, and grasses in their national government's mansion good? There should have been more girls long ago! The girl puts outside to violent the heavens!
Everyone played with the pony for a while. It was getting late. Jiang Li asked people to look after the pony and went back to the house to sleep.
According to the post, General Ji’s birthday is three days later. It suddenly occurred to her that she didn't know when Ji Heng's birthday was. It seemed that he had never heard of his birthday banquet.
…
Soon it was three days later.
This morning, there was a little snow in the sky. The spring in Yanjing City came very late. After the New Year's Day, it seemed as if this winter would be going on for a long time, and the snow was heavier than before. The occasional sunlight has become a rarity.
Tonger picked out clothes carefully in the room, Jiang Li saw this, and said, "Just pick one."
"Isn't the girl going to a birthday banquet?" Tonger smiled: "Naturally I have to choose a good-looking outfit."
"No need," Jiang Li replied, "there are no other ladies and wives at the birthday banquet, and no one looks at them after wearing them. On the contrary, they are in vain."
"That's not necessarily true," Tong'er shook his head, "Even so, Old General Ji and His Royal Highness Su Guo Gong are also men. If girls dress better, they will definitely appreciate girls more."
Tonger was naive, and only thought that as long as Jiang Li looked good, it also showed that even Tonger was not wary of the people in the Guogong Mansion. In Tonger's mind, Ji Heng and Old General Ji were not enemies worthy of vigilance.
Jiang Li thought for a while and smiled, "Then you pick it."
It took a lot of time to choose clothes. Tonger looked for matching jewelry for Jiang Li, and it took him a while. When all this is in place, it's time to go out. Bai Xue brought the sweaty horse from the yard.
I don't know if it was Jiang Li's illusion, Xiao Ma has a much brighter coat color than when she bought it from the East Market three days ago. This is also natural. People who buy horses just sell the horses and eat inferior foods. After returning to Jiang's house, Jiang Li ordered the horse feeders to match good foods and feed them on time every day. After eating well, the horse's pale golden hair is even more beautiful, even if there is no sun today, standing in the yard, the whole body is like a pale golden silk, emitting a bright luster.
What surprised Jiang Li most was the little red cloth flower pinned to the ear of the horse.
Jiang Li: "...what's the matter with this flower?"
Bai Xue said, "Since this horse was given to the old general as a gift, the servant girl originally wanted to go to the storeroom to pick a beautiful collar to wear on the pony. But this horse refused to wear it. After wearing it, I kept thinking about it. To get it down, the slave and maid had no choice but to take off the collar and think about it. It's better to find a flower for it to wear, which looks like a gift."
Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry.
The sweaty BMW horses are inherently arrogant and difficult for ordinary people to tame. Even when they were young, they didn't like wearing collars and other restraints. But Baixue can actually think of giving it another flower, this is really...
The pale golden pony is like a cock that has been defeated, with his head downcast against his head, and he doesn't look at Jiang Li. I don't know if it's because of the flower in his ear that is sulking. Jiang Li wanted to take it for it, but Tonger was already urging, "Girl, people say that the carriage is already waiting outside, let's get out soon."
Jiang Li said: "Okay, just come." He temporarily forgot the flower on the horse's head.
When I left the yard and walked outside the house, I ran into a rare person along the way.
The Yang family of Sanfang was walking into the house with Jiang Yuyan. Yang's hand was still holding a silk handkerchief. Jiang Li glanced at it. The silk handkerchief seemed to be not an ordinary material, and the workmanship should not be the workmanship of an ordinary embroidery workshop. Seeing her from a distance, Jiang Yuyan slowed down, and when Jiang Li walked in front of her, she said, "Second sister."
"It's Ali." Yang's also saw her, with a slightly warm smile on his face, "Where are you going in a hurry?"
Jiang Li calmly retracted to look at Yang's Roupa, and smiled: "Third aunt, fourth sister." She was trying to find an excuse to perfuse her, suddenly a thought came to her heart, and she smiled immediately. : "I'm planning to go to the Guogong Mansion for a banquet."
"Guo Gong Mansion?" Without waiting for Jiang Yuyan to say anything, Yang Clan asked in surprise. She asked, "Which Guo Gong Mansion?"
"It's the Su Guo Gong Mansion."
"Government Suguo?" Yang's stunned, "I have never heard of any post sent by Prince Suguo." She looked at Jiang Li in a sour tone, "The old lady didn't tell us about this. What's up." There are many banquet posts in the Guogong Mansion. If it is not a last resort, Sanfang will not be allowed to participate. The Yang family complained about this matter frequently, although Jiang Yuanxing was not born to Mrs. Jiang, and his surname was Jiang anyway. The family is so divided, besides, it's better to promote one's own family than outsiders who are cheaper? But Mrs. Jiang insisted on putting on an appearance, even with the generous and the second room, she also had to be a superior person, not putting the third room in his eyes.
"It is rumored that Duke Suguo is not a very close person," Yang continued to look inadvertently, "When did this get better with our house? Is it close to the eldest brother?"
Jiang Li looked at her quietly. She smiled at the corners of her lips, her eyes were gentle, but she didn't say a word. After a long time, Yang was also a little hairy with her eyes, and asked: "Ali, what do you think of people like this? ?"
"I'm just thinking about how to answer the third aunt's words," Jiang Li smiled and said: "Father and Su Guo Gong Mansion are not very familiar. In fact, the post of Su Guo Gong Mansion was only given to me. Even father. The old lady and the old lady did not receive the invitation, so it is natural that the third aunt and the fourth sister did not receive the post. I will be the only one going to the banquet in the whole house."
Right now, the Yang family was really stunned, and even Jiang Yuyan was puzzled. The Yang stammered: "What, what's going on? How could the old lady feel relieved to let you go to a banquet at a girl's house? Besides, it doesn't make sense..."
"No," Jiang Li frowned lightly, as if very distressed, "but no one in Yanjing City knows the temper of Su Guo Gong. Even if I am a father's daughter, I don't know the post of Guo Gongfu. I dare to refuse outright. I can only bite the bullet and go forward. Although I don't know what Longtan and Tiger's Lair is in front of me, for the Jiang family, I have to take care of the overall situation."
What she said was half-truth and half-false, and it seemed that there was an overtone. Yang's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Jiang Li. But seeing Jiang Li's sincere expression, as if she had found a close relative to tell her recent distress, she didn't have a trace of the city, and she didn't understand it.
Yang tentatively said: "But why did the government invite you alone? Could it be..." She took a step closer, "You have reached the age to talk about marriage..." Yang seemed to think that she was talking to Jiang Li like that. It wasn't right, as soon as the words were spoken, he stopped quickly.
Jiang Li lowered his head and said like a mosquito, "This, I don't know..."
This look is clearly shy.
This is a miracle. Since Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City from Qingcheng Mountain, Jiang's family is more of her gentle, calm, and even calm to indifferent appearance, so this shyness and unnaturalness has become especially obvious.
Jiang Yuyan also stared at Jiang Li without speaking.
Jiang Li raised her head and met Yang's gaze. For a moment, she seemed to be a little flustered, and quickly said: "I'm almost too late now, so I won't talk to the third aunt, and take a step first." She turned her side and looked at Yang's Leaving next to Jiang Yuyan, as if panicking and fleeing, couldn't wait.
Jiang Li's figure disappeared quickly. Jiang Yuyan stood there. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Mother, second sister, was she lying just now?"
Yang did not speak, but frowned, and said after a while: "No matter if she tells a lie, there must be a problem if the Guogong Mansion invites her alone!"
On the other end, Jiang Li was walking outside the gate of the mansion, and Tonger helped him onto the carriage.
Her shyness, courage, and unnaturalness have long since disappeared, and her face is still gentle and calm in her place. Sitting in the carriage, she couldn't help laughing at the thought of her appearance. I don't know when, she has also become a person who can participate in the drama at any time, accurately controlling her own joys and sorrows, and she will show others what they want to see.
She had long felt that Sanfang was a little weird, and the dressing of Sanfang Jiang Yuyan and Yang's clothes, I don't know since when they were much more generous than in the past. However, Jiang Yuanxing did not get promoted, and Sanfang did not engage in other small businesses. The improvement in Sanfang's life was too obvious. A large sum of silver must be required.
And since Jiang Yu'e got married, Sanfang didn't seem to mind the estrangement from Dafang Erfang, and Jiang Yuanxing even didn't want to pretend that his brothers, friends, and brothers were respectful.
And the scandal between Ji Shuran and Liu Wencai suddenly spread throughout Yanjing City overnight. Jiang Yuanbai searched all Jiang's subordinates and found no suspicious one. As a result, for a long time, many people believed that Jiang Li did this in order to avenge Ji Shuran. However, Jiang Li knew whether he did it or not. Later, Jiang Li thought that in addition to the servants, the people from Sanfang were also present that day. If anyone in Jiang's family is separated from the second room, the third room is definitely the same
Could Sanfang be the traitor to the Jiang family? Jiang Li couldn't find any evidence until she saw Yang's. It suddenly occurred to her that she could use this matter to give it a try.
Her shyness and coy will mislead Yang's. If Yang's misunderstood something and told someone that the incident was leaked out, it would almost prove that Yang's had a problem.
The carriage set off, Jiang Li sat inside, looking at her fingertips.
I hope my suspicion is wrong.
But if it's right, it doesn't matter. It was just a poisonous tooth hidden in Jiang's Mansion, after being pulled out, it was nothing.
…
At the gate of the National Palace, Zhao Ke was in the courtyard, squatting and talking to Wen Ji.
He went out last night and had something to do. He returned to the government mansion early this morning to return to life, so he didn't return to Jiang's house either.
In the room inside, Situ Jiuyue was busy in it. When she got free, she made some new poisons. Haitang stood beside her, handing her the materials she needed from time to time.
Since Haitang's face was injured, she had nothing to do in the Guogong Mansion, but she could not find anything to do, and she simply became Situ Jiuyue's servant. When Situ Jiuyue was refining medicine, Haitang was on the side.
Zhao Ke looked at the two people in the room, shook his head, and sighed, "A good girl, why did she follow Miss Situ?"
Is Situ Jiuyue beautiful? Naturally beautiful, her appearance is even among the top ten women in Yanjing City. But it was so fierce that she would feed her poison if she didn't agree with her, so how could anyone dare to get close to her. And Haitang, among other things, the guards of the National Palace still admire her. Situ Jiuyue used the method of poisonous spiders to treat the wounds on Haitang's face. People in the government knew the danger and pain of poisonous spiders. Haitang's willingness to accept it was already unexpected, and she was able to bear it, even more unexpectedly.
The guards of the government office admire a girl who can be so tough and brave. Some people were even so happy that they confessed to Haitang.
It's a pity that this beautiful girl who has restored her original appearance is very indifferent in her bones. She resolutely rejected all the guards who showed love to her, saying that she would never be married in this life. Everyone knew about Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning's affair. It was speculated that Haitang was choking because of seeing through the man's hypocritical face, and secretly cursed Shen Yurong and abused it again.
Wen Ji said: "Stop talking nonsense, go to the door, count the hour, Miss Jiang Er is almost here."
Zhao Ke spit out the grass in his mouth, "I'm not under her, so I have to take care of everything. If the grandpa really likes her, why not just marry her back to the house?"
"Like! I like it!" A loud cry came, and Zhao Ke was so scared that he was frightened. When he raised his head, Xiao Hong stood on the branch and stared at him mockingly. The bright black feathers were particularly conspicuous, and said: "I like it! I like it! !"
"Auntie, don't call it." Zhao Ke couldn't wait to cover her mouth. "If your lord knows that I am talking behind my back, I have to take my skin off and shut up!"
However, Xiao Hong shouted more vigorously, her voice loud and bright and a fight with Old General Ji.
Zhao Ke couldn't help but wait for the broken bird to call down, he would have to attract the entire Guogong Mansion. Thinking of the scene where Ji Heng was smiling and asking what he was saying, Zhao Ke couldn't help but fought a cold war, and said to Wen Ji: "Well, just look at it here, I'll go pick up Miss Jiang Er... Goodbye!" The soles of the feet were smeared.
Wen Ji took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Hong who was standing on the tree triumphantly, turned her head, and left.
…
Jiang Li's carriage stopped at the gate of Guogong's mansion.
The welcoming young man saw Jiang Li, and smiled more enthusiastically every time. In a trance, Jiang Li felt that he was about to catch up with the young man at Ye Mingyu's house. She let people lead the pale golden pony, the porter's servant was still taken aback, and said: "Miss Jiang Er, this..."
"Give old General Ji a birthday gift," Jiang Li smiled slightly, "just follow me into the mansion."
The little boy was silly for a while, and said, "Oh, good."
The young lady from the Jiang family is really different from ordinary people. It's no wonder that the adults are also special to her.
Jiang Li and the people who led the way walked into the Guogong Mansion. When they walked to the side of the flowerbed, they saw a tall figure dancing a sword in a clearing in front of the flowerbed. Swordsmanship is excellent. You can only see the silver light shuttles like a dragon, and the body is vigorous. When you look closely, the person wearing a white cloth single coat with a red belt around his waist, isn't it the same old General Ji who is
Judging from his swordsmanship, he can indeed see the heroic posture of the past. Just don't know if it was too hard, the sword energy immediately brought up many petals in the flower garden, and the petals fell one after another. If you ignore the old General Ji, standing in the rain of flowers and dancing the sword, it is really a pleasing thing.
It’s just that Jiang Li faintly remembered that the flowers in this garden were all made by Ji Heng at a high cost, which made them meticulously transplanted and maintained. The Guogong Mansion is very large, not only this open space, but Old General Ji is practicing swords here, which can be said to be very willful.
She stood quietly beside the flower garden. I don't know how long she waited. After the old General Ji finished the sword dance, a young servant stepped forward and said something in front of him. It should be that Jiang Li was here. Old General Ji immediately turned around and strode towards Jiang Li's side.
"Old General." Jiang Li saluted him.
"You are here." General Ji's expression was neither happy nor unhappy, but there was still some joy in the end. He said: "Today is the old man's birthday. The old man liked the venison you roasted in the mansion last time, so I specially invited you to come today. You don't need to do it this time."
Jiang Li smiled reluctantly, "Thank you, the old general, for your understanding." She is not a servant of the Guogong Mansion. Why should she go to the Guogong Mansion to fulfill other people's wishes
Old General Ji condensed his gaze, and suddenly said, "Good horse!" Three steps and two steps together, he walked behind Jiang Li.
Bai Xue was leading the pale golden horse. Jiang Li told Bai Xue not to bring the horse close to the flower garden. The flowers in the flower garden were poisonous. If the horse was poisoned, something went wrong.
"This is..." The old general walked to the pony, frowned slightly, and stroked the pony's hair. The pony snorted in his nose, shook his head slightly, and kicked his front hoof.
"This is a birthday gift for the old general. I hope the old general will not dislike it." Jiang Li smiled slightly.
dislike? how is this possible? At least from the appearance of Old General Ji now, the word dislike is really invisible. I saw that his mouth was grinning to the root of his ears, and his face was full of smiles. From knowing the old general until now, it is the first time Jiang Li has seen him clearly show such a happy appearance. He touched the horse's mane again, moving cautiously, and then looked at Jiang Li quickly, as if he was hesitant to ask some questions.
Jiang Li guessed what he wanted to ask, and said, "It's a sweaty BMW."
"Oh!" The old general slapped his thigh. "Just what the old man said! This horse is a sweaty BMW at all." His smile was even more obvious by Jiang Li's affirmation. He circled around the horse like a lecher. 'S man saw the peerless beauty, and the wealth greedy saw Wanliang of gold and couldn't put it down.
"The old man hasn't seen a sweaty BMW for many years. Let me say that the old man's mount chasing the wind is also a good horse, but unfortunately he was shot to death by the enemy when he was fighting with the old man. Later, the old man raised a lightning bolt. He stayed with the old man to the end until he died. It’s a pity that the horses in the capital have not been on the battlefield for many years. How can the horses in the capital be able to fight? Less bloody, this horse is different, and at first glance, it is different." He said. As he said, he became sad again, "It's a pity that such a good horse, who is about to go into the soil with the old man half of his body, can't go to the battlefield or go everywhere. It's a pity."
Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. The general is late, as sad as the beauty.
But Jiang Li's heart was completely calm. Although Old General Ji sighed like this, he danced swords in the flower garden in winter, and went hunting specially for roasting venison. All kinds of behaviors really did not seem like "half of his body fell into the soil." People.
As he was talking, there was another exclamation of people not far away, mixed with people's footsteps. Jiang Li looked back and saw that Renyao, Lu Ji and Kong Liu were all coming from not far away. The person who walked at the end was naturally Ji Heng. The four of them were just in the same place.
Kong Liu walked the fastest, his gaze fell on the horse and he couldn't move his eyes away. After he got closer, he touched and looked again, causing the pony to grunt impatiently.
"Father, where did you get this good horse? It doesn't look ordinary!"
Old General Ji proudly said: "Sweat and bloody BMW, don't be greedy, this is Jiang Yatou's birthday gift to the old man, not your kid!"
Hearing that it was a sweaty BMW, Lu Ji and Wen Renyao were both taken aback. Kong Liu looked at Jiang Li blankly, and said, "Sweaty BMW?"
Yanjing City once had a hard-earned BMW, which was a tribute gift from a small neighboring country to the first emperor. It was raised in the palace and served with delicious food. Other than that, it has only been heard in the rumors of others. Kong Liu and the others are not stupid. Hearing what Old General Ji said, and after a closer look, he knew that this was not a lie.
"My dear," Kong Liu couldn't help but said: "This is really jealous." He looked at Jiang Li, "Miss Jiang Er is too hand-crafted, this... Does it mean Jiang Yuanfu?"
A BMW is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Is Jiang Yuanbai such a generous person? The Jiang family and the Guogong's mansion did not have much contact. If Jiang Li could not pick up the post, the Jiang family would still hesitate for a long time. But if Jiang Li had his own idea, even if Jiang Li had plenty of money on hand, how the Ye family would help Jiang Li and give such a generous gift, it seemed impossible.
"Father doesn't know what gift I gave. He probably thought it was an ordinary tonic." Jiang Li smiled slightly. "But Master Kong doesn't need to praise this horse. This horse is not expensive. I still have the money to give the old general this horse. ."
She looked self-assured, not as if she was fake, as if she was a little happy, and she was taken aback by all the people around her, which was really light-hearted.
Ji Heng narrowed his eyes, "Geometry?"
"Not much, five hundred taels of silver." Jiang Li said with a smile.
