Cat and Mouse Game
Long Memories: After Princess Chang was reborn, she was engaged in business
in the warehouse of Lin’an Academy.
Jaffe found a cushion and put the weak Sheng Yunlin on it.
“How do you feel?” He asked.
“Feng Wuheng is really a powerful drug.” Sheng Yun-lin muttered, “I can’t move very much right now.”
The wind locked them inside, but the season was not warm, the temperature dropped sharply at night, the floor was too cold, only a cushion was comfortable, but the area was too small.
All in all, it was a rough night.
“Lord Xie, it’s so boring. Why don’t we have a chat?” Sheng Yun-lin said, “Speaking of which, why haven’t you got married for so many years?”? I’ve never heard of you having a wife.
“Engaged.” Jaffe said.
“Then what happened?” When you’re
sure you want to make peace with Beimo, I’ll ask you to be transferred to the Ministry of Rites. Later, without my consent, my family took advantage of the opportunity to give me the daughter of the Minister of Rites. But then she died of illness, and the marriage didn’t take place.
“Why are you going to the Ministry of Rites?” Sheng Yun-lin is somewhat unable to grasp the key points. “If you plan to go out and come back, won’t you rise through the ranks?”? This is the quickest way to get into the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister. The host and guest of the Ministry
of Rites are dominated by the Ministry of Rites whenever they are involved in contacts with other countries. This is the department of the six ministries that is most likely to be sent to other countries.
“So?” Sheng Yunlin propped up his head.
「…… Forget it. You don’t remember anything.
All right, then you go on. It was more than ten years ago that the girl died. What happened after that?
I had no intention of getting married, and with the turmoil in the court, my family had no time to get married. Later, when Your Majesty ascended the throne, I was promoted. After that, my mother did receive a lot of letters.
“Ha ha, I want to get married to you.” “Then what?” Asked Sheng Yun-lin cheerfully.
Jaffe gave Sheng Yunlin a sidelong glance. “She was always in a hurry, so she was very attentive at that time. Finally, after a long time of choosing, she fell in love with the fourth sister of the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.”
「……」
“Remember?”
「…………」
Sheng Yunlin remembered.
Xie’s mother chose her daughter-in-law, because the battle was quite big, and involved Jaffe, the matter was quite special, so that it spread to the ears of Sheng Yunlin in the palace. She also heard that Mrs. Xie praised Miss Zuo very much.
It happened that when she chose the imperial concubine for Chen Yu, all the daughters of the right age were sent to the palace and chosen by her.
Devilishly, she found the portrait of Miss Zuo.
…… Then the decree was issued and she was summoned to the palace.
Miss Zuo also became Jing Fei later. She is very beautiful and quiet, and the title is given by her.
Sheng Yunlin’s scalp suddenly tingled a little. What was
she thinking? Knowing that Mrs. Xie was interested in him, why did she call him into the palace?
Unfortunately, I can’t remember. “Well,” said
Sheng Yunlin cautiously, “am I taking away the love of your heart?”
“I’ve never seen it before. It’s not what I love.” Xie Fei said flatly.
“Oh.”. And then what..?
No, that’s the whole story. Satisfied?
“Ahahahaha..” Sheng Yun-lin said with a dry smile, “By rights, after listening to Lord Hsieh’s gossip, I should also say something about my own gossip.”. But you, my Lord, know all about me. The marriage to Beimo didn’t work out, and the marriage to Lu Chih-yuan was so tragic. They all took their lives to get married!
Jaffe lowered his eyes and said, “The palace change on the day of your marriage … …” How did you escape?
Sheng Yunlin was silent.
Compared with what happened later, the fear and pain of that day were not difficult to recall.
The so-called marriage is just a fraud.
Many years ago, nine Wang Ye Chen Yan failed to assassinate the emperor, was exiled to the north, and then fled to the north desert. Chen Yan colluded with the King of North Desert and planned the change of marriage.
He followed the North Desert Mission to infiltrate the palace, led the wedding procession to suddenly launch an attack, fought with the imperial guards, and then washed the palace in blood, almost no one was spared.
The reason why the chosen princess was Sheng Yunlin, and she was not killed by the North Desert people at that time, but only tied up, because Chen Yan wanted to keep her alive.
That year, Chen Yan did not stab the emperor to death, but mistakenly killed his sister, Princess Huayang Chang, who shared with the emperor.
It was also under the pleading of Princess Huayang before she died that the emperor did not kill Chen Yan, but let him live and exiled him to the north.
Sheng Yunlin said to Jaffe, That day, I fled to the queen mother’s Shoukang Palace. There is a small cellar in Shoukang Palace, which can hide two or three people. When I was a child, I would hide there when I played hide-and-seek with the princes. Coincidentally, Chen Yu is also hiding there. We hid inside for nearly ten days, feeding on the melons and fruits in the cellar. We didn’t dare to come out until the palace rebellion was completely over and Chen Yan announced his accession to the throne.
“And then you brought him into Yeyouting?” There are too many people in the
palace. It’s impossible to kill them all. Those who had served the emperor and the imperial concubines were all given death, while the rest were sent to Yeyouting to serve as poor officials. As far as Chen Yu and I were concerned, Yeyouting was the safest place–no one knew us, and no one checked our identities.
“Six years.” Jaffe said in a dumb voice.
Sheng Yunlin suddenly felt some sobs in Jaffe’s voice.
She’s not sure. It’s like she’s overthinking it. The moonlight shone through the window paper, and the light was so faint that she could not see Jaffe’s face clearly.
Just think of yourself as having misheard.
“I don’t think those six years were as difficult as the first ten days.” Sheng Yunlin said softly, “It’s very cold in the cellar. We snuggle up to each other to keep warm. No one knows if we can see the rising sun again..”
Her voice gradually dropped, as if she were sleepy, and her head unconsciously rested on Jaffe’s arm. The sound of
even breathing came. Jaffe turned his head and saw that Sheng Yunlin’s lips were bloodless with cold. Under the reflection of the clear moonlight, it looks even more pale. It was also very cold in the
warehouse, but she never said that.
Jaffe hugged her and took her carefully into his arms.
「…… Then it won’t be cold. He whispered.
Sheng Yunlin woke up in Jaffe’s arms.
It is said that the students who brought breakfast to the guest room early in the morning were the first to find out that they were not in the room. The students reported to the mountain chief in a hurry, and the mountain chief looked for them in a hurry, and finally found two people in the warehouse.
Sheng Yunlin’s first reaction after sobering up was: “Bad, I’m afraid she’s going to confirm the reputation of Jaffe’s concubine.”.
…… Forget it, it’s no better than a “servant girl.”. The status is almost low.
To be honest, a woman like Sheng Yun-lin, who has been married twice, has seen blood every time, has been trampled in the mud, and has stood on the top of the Chen Dynasty, has no concept of “innocence,” “reputation,” or “reserve.”. It is said that she has seventy-seven and forty-nine male pets, and she hasn’t been angry about it?
But Sheng Yunlin always felt that Jaffe was different from her.
Jaffe has always been a gentleman with good conduct, and he has never had any words that have nothing to do with “elegance.”. The court had been in turmoil for so many years that no matter who was sitting on the Hall of Golden Bells, he could not find any fault with him. It seemed that all the gossip had nothing to do with him. He just stood there and only cared about saving the world and the people.
So she always felt that it was not good to have rumors about Jaffe spread out. After the
two of them got out of trouble, Jaffe asked the mountain chief to immediately transfer the case book of “Pei Tzu-an.” Sure enough, there was no relevant information.
Shan Chang and the students were shocked. Clearly in their memory there is such a good student who is excellent in both character and learning, how can he become a bandit overnight? The heavy official silver in the basement of the warehouse reminds them of the fact that they have been cheated.
Now that the official silver was found, Jaffe was not very interested in the rest.
Solved the case, back to the city, Lin’an Satrap Su Wei grateful, wish to give Jaffe kneel down.
Jaffe shook off his sleeve and put his hand behind his back. “You don’t have to do that, Lord Su,” he said. But Hsieh has one thing he wants to ask Lord Su for help. “Thank you, sir,” said
Su Wei at once! But whatever your subordinates can do, they must do their best!
“I want you to prepare an identity document for this girl.” Jaffe glanced at Sheng Yunlin.
“This is easy to handle, leave it all to XiaGuan!” Can use such a small matter to Jaffe’s favor to return a three points, Su Wei naturally happy to the extreme.
Sheng Yunlin looked doubtfully at Jaffe. The so-called identity document is not available to dignitaries. She regenerates a little servant girl. What does she want this thing for?
“One more thing.” Jaffe went on to say, Which is the best cloth shop in Linan City? I will take her to buy a dress.
Sheng Yunlin raised his sleeve and looked at his new clothes, which had been covered with dust last night.
Well, it’s time for a change.
As a result, half an hour later, the largest branch of the Li family in the city of Lin’an was directly cleared to welcome the “distinguished guests.”.
Boss Li did not know which distinguished guest was coming. In short, he looked strange to Xie Fei, and his accent did not sound like he was from Linan. However, both the prefect and the prefect’s wife were extremely polite, saying “Lord Hsieh” and “Miss Sheng,” just to buy some clothes for the girl brought by this “Lord Hsieh.”.
Sheng Yunlin took his time to try one set after another in the fitting room. The
miscellaneous people all retired, and Jaffe was looking at the cloth in the outer room, leaving only Lord Su and Mrs. Su whispering outside the door. However, the sound insulation of the door of the fitting room was not good, and Sheng Yunlin’s ears were sharp, so he listened to it thoroughly.
“Lord Hsieh really doesn’t hesitate to spend money.” It was Mrs. Su who said, “If this girl looks good in her clothes, he’ll take a look and say he wants it.”
Sheng Yunlin: “?” What is
this? She used to wear the same clothes all the year round. She had no time to wear the clothes that were out of season, and she used them to reward her subordinates, which was very decent.
…… Oh, shouldn’t she have a little self-consciousness that she has become a “servant”? “No,” said
Su Wei to his wife. Don’t you think this girl looks a bit like someone? The voices of the
two men were getting lower and lower. Mrs.
Su:.. Who?
「…… Like your Highness!
“My God!” Mrs. Su exclaimed in a low voice, “Don’t tell me, she looks a little like the eldest princess!”
Sheng Yunlin: “… …”
At this time, you should blame your ears for being too good, and you have to listen to gossip. No, the gossip is all on yourself.
Su Wei sighed and said, “Since Princess Chang passed away and Lord Xie resigned, the government has basically been in the hands of Prime Minister Huo.”. The emperor to promote political reform, clearly affect the interests of Huo Xiang, Huo Xiang how willing? Madam, you and I, husband and wife, are happy to be in this corner of Linan. But there is no peace in the court now!
With Su Wei’s sigh, Sheng Yunlin’s heart gradually sank. The last thing
she wanted to see and tried to prevent happened.
At the beginning, but in a short period of six years, Jiangshan changed its owner three times. Although the throne has always been in the hands of the Chen family, but the situation is turbulent, all forces come on stage, and finally when Chen Yu ascended the throne, the Huo family is already dominant. In order to consolidate Chen Yu’s throne,
Sheng Yunlin specially married the daughter of the Huo family for him, and the purpose was naturally to appease Huo Xiang, hoping that the Huo family could use it for themselves.
But she was still thinking too simply.
Eventually, she died at the hands of Queen Huo.
She would like to ask: “Chen Yu, when I do not give you the right, but even I can not fight the Huo family, I dare to easily put you to face them?”? Look, what have you made of yourself now?
She was angry again: “If you didn’t trust me, could you give the Huo family this chance?”? Will things come to this today?
Sheng Yunlin once wondered why the queen wanted to alienate her feelings with Chen Yu’s sister and brother, and why Chen Yu was easily alienated. Later, after three long years of sleep, she finally figured out another thing-people can change.
No matter how deep the feelings are, they are not worth the four words “the passage of time.”.
“I’m done trying.” Sheng Yunlin changed his clothes and came out, interrupting the whispers of the couple.
At that moment, Su Wei seemed to be shocked by the people who came out. The
girl’s face of indifference, even with a bit of solemn gas, unexpectedly only from the momentum will let him fear three points. Just like the year he went to the capital, he saw the long princess sitting on the throne indifferently.
Her Royal Highness had just killed her husband on the wedding night. With her blood, she commanded the army to fight to the end. All the traitors were left behind, and the world turned pale.
And the next second, Sheng Yunlin’s face hung on a smile that people could not make mistakes, as if everything Su Wei had just seen was just an illusion. Lord
Su, Mrs. Su, thank you for waiting. May I ask where my Lord is now?
“Oh, oh!”! Miss Sheng, Lord Hsieh is waiting for you in the outer room. Su Wei, like waking up from a dream, also put on a polite smile and led Sheng Yunlin out.
Jaffe was sitting on a chair in the outer room with a white jade hairpin in his hand. The hairpin is simple but elegant, with only a simple carving of an auspicious cloud at the end.
“How about this one?” Sheng Yunlin turned around in front of him.
She tried on a sky-blue skirt, which made her look as beautiful as morning dew.
Jaffe nodded and said to the shopkeeper, “I’ll take this one, too.”
All right! Together with the one just now, I’ll wrap it up for you! The shopkeeper is smiling.
“I’m tired of trying.” Sheng Yunlin said.
“Well, bow your head.” Jaffe said.
“Eh?” Sheng Yun-lin raised his eyebrows. “Lord Hsieh, are you giving me orders?”
Jaffe looked at her quietly.
Sheng Yun-lin burst out laughing: “I’m just teasing you.”. Now that you are a man and I am a maid, will I not listen to what you tell me?
But Jaffe leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Your Highness, I beg you to lower your head a little.”
Sheng Yunlin was stunned.
Devilishly, she hung her head slightly, level with the sitting Jaffe.
Jaffe took off the poor jade hairpin on her head, which the women had bought casually in the street yesterday, and replaced it with the one in his hand.
Facing the peep show in the cloth shop, Sheng Yunlin touched the white jade hairpin, which was exquisite in material and warm in touch. He turned his head to the left and then to the right.
“Yes, thank you, sir. This one is no worse than one I usually wear.”
“Mmm.” “The material is all right,” said Jaffe.
Sheng Yunlin suddenly laughed.
She turned around in front of the mirror again.
Really strange, she just felt chest pain and stuffy, how Jaffe gave her a hairpin, she suddenly became happy? After
buying the clothes, they went back to the inn. But as soon as he stepped into the room, the waiter knocked on the door and said, “Thank you, sir, someone has just delivered a letter.”
Jaffe picked up the letter, and on the envelope were the words “Lord Hsieh personally opens” in five big cursive characters, which were quite enjoyable.
Jaffe pulled out the letter paper, and Sheng Yunlin came over directly to see the signature-wind without trace. “Didn’t Feng Wuheng leave Lin’an?” Asked
Sheng Yunlin? Not only did he not leave, but he was lying in wait for us to come back.
Jaffe’s expression was cold.
Feng Wuhen wrote in the letter: Jiangning is rich and has many treasures. It is very suitable for him to show his skills. He decided to set off immediately and try his luck in Jiangning City.
At the end, he said, “I just don’t know if Lord Hsieh would like to go with Feng to experience the prosperity of Jiangning.”
“Is he asking you to play cat and mouse with him?” Sheng Yun-lin said curiously, “This man is really bold, and his heart seems to be quite high. Last night he didn’t get any advantage from us, so he turned around and challenged us.”. I don’t know what he wants to steal this time.
“You’ll know as soon as you get there.”
“What about me?” Sheng Yunlin asked.
“Naturally together.” Jaffe said.
Sheng Yunlin raised his lips and was satisfied. Before he had finished
speaking, the waiter knocked on the door again. “Thank you, sir,” he said.
Jaffe went to get the letter, but his face became strange.
This time, it said: Miss Sheng Qinqi.
“Ah, this is mine!” As soon as Sheng Yunlin raised his hand to take it, Jaffe raised his arm and let her pounce on it.
She now this body has not grown up, where like Jaffe eight feet tall, let alone stand on tiptoe, even if she jumped up can not reach ah!
“Why did you not show me my letters?”
“Clearly, it’s gibberish.”
“Then you have to show me what nonsense grammar is?” Say, Sheng Yunlin wants to rob again.
Jaffe ignored her and took the letter to throw it out of the window beside the bed. Sheng Yunlin immediately ran after him and grabbed his arm and refused to let go. But Sheng Yunlin’s strength was not as strong as Jaffe’s, but Jaffe’s arm exerted a little force, which made Sheng Yunlin stagger forward and fall down.
Jaffe was a little flustered, and the letter did not care. His right hand caught Sheng Yunlin, who had nearly fallen down. Then the two of them went up and down and fell on the bed.
The next second, the lips and teeth touch.
It wasn’t a tender kiss, not even half romantic. Sheng Yunlin’s lips were hit so painful that he almost forced out two tears, while Jaffe was completely at a loss, so that he forgot to separate for a moment.
Sheng Yunlin first regained consciousness, pushed Jaffe away with both hands, then immediately bounced up, and quickly grabbed the envelope that had fallen beside them and ran out.
Jaffe: “..”
He raised his hand to touch his lips, and the touch was still painful and tingling.
At the same time, Sheng Yunlin was sitting downstairs in the inn, covering his lips with his fingers and having a fever on his face.
How old a man is, he still blushes and palpitates for this kind of thing about his little daughter’s family. She despised herself in her heart.
But seriously, I’m afraid it’s really her first kiss.
It’s killing me.
In order to divert her attention, she quickly opened the letter written to her by Feng Wuheng. But at first glance, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to roll her eyes. The
letter was full of words of praise, praising Sheng Yunlin without a draft, saying that her face was like peach blossoms, her skin was like congealed fat, and that she was calm and courageous when things happened. In short, the wind was unforgettable at first sight, hoping that she would come to Jiangning to meet her.
…… Well, that’s a lot of nonsense. Fortunately, Jaffe didn’t see it.
No, how could I have such an idea? What if he sees it?
Sheng Yunlin covered his face again involuntarily. There was still a dull pain in her
lips, a clear reminder of what had just happened.
Finally, it was the third envelope sent by the second child that resolved the embarrassment between them.
The envelope was slightly thicker, and inside was an identity document that Su Wei had prepared for Sheng Yunlin. From then on, she was a “good citizen” who had filed a case with the government and had a household registration.
Sheng Yun-lin opened it and looked at it together, and was immediately surprised by his “new identity.”.
Jaffe did not casually ask Su Wei to give her an identity, but let her become the daughter of the Sheng family in Yunnan again.
Generally speaking, courtiers can only be granted the title of Duke at most. Her father, King Changning, was the only king with a different surname since the founding of the Chen Dynasty because of his outstanding military achievements. Of course, she was the only daughter of the King of Changning before his death, and her daughter was no longer alive, so the vein of the King of Changning was broken.
However, the Sheng family, which had guarded the southwest border for generations, did not decline. She also had an uncle, who inherited her father’s official position as a general in the southwest, and was personally named the Marquis of Wu’an by her. The “new identity”
that Jaffe had instructed Su Wei to give herself was the third daughter of the Marquis of Wu An.
Sheng Yunlin took the identity document and went upstairs to find Jaffe. She pretended that nothing had happened before and asked, “Is it all right for you to make such an identity for me?”
“I’ve already made up a book and asked someone to send it to the Marquis of Wu An.” Jaffe said.
“What if he doesn’t agree?”
“I won’t say no.” “He owes me a favor,” said Jaffe.
“Huh?”
“After you died, Prime Minister Huo arranged for the supervisor to impeach the Marquis of Wu’an, and I helped him at that time.”
「…… Thank you. After a pause, Sheng Yunlin added, “But you’ve always been honest, and you can’t bear to see others being wronged.” I’ve been traveling
around. I just went to Yunnan three months ago. When the third daughter of the Marquis of Wu’an died, he was afraid that his ancestors would be too sad, so he told the public that his daughter had married and gone to the capital.
I see. Our ancestors are old, so if they can hide it, they can hide it. Sheng Yun-lin sighed, “So you gave me the identity of my third cousin?”
Mmm. About the same age.
「……」
Sheng Yunlin did not know what to say.
Say thank you, it seems too thin. Don’t say
anything, as if she has no conscience.
Jaffe really thought of everything. She is still the daughter of the Sheng family, still noble, and can explain why her face looks so similar to her previous life.
“Have a good rest today, and tomorrow we’ll leave for Jiangning.” Jaffe said, left the room, and let the waiter open another one.
They finally stopped sleeping in the same room.
Sheng Yunlin stayed in the room alone, looking left and right at the identity document. When
did Jaffe get so close to her family? Why didn’t she know before?
Or is it all the things that have happened in the three years since she died?
Jaffe has been a lonely man since he became an official. Not only was it difficult for the Jinshi of the same year to make friends with him, but even those who were several ranks higher than him could not invite him to dinner. Later, he rose through the ranks, and became one of the few people in the court who said, “Don’t approach strangers.”.
But he actually knew so clearly about the private affairs of the Hou family in Wu’an that he wanted to be very close.
Sheng Yunlin always felt that Jaffe had something to hide from her.
But on second thought, Jaffe did not want to tell her anything, that is perfectly normal, who can guess what Taifu adults think?
“Ah,” she sighed again at the thought.
After sighing, I felt a little puzzled.
My lips don’t hurt anymore, but my mood doesn’t seem to get better.
Sheng Yunlin touched his lips lightly with his finger again.
The mood is very strange, strange beyond description. Her mind is in a mess. I’m afraid she’s going to lose sleep tonight.
Jaffe and Sheng Yunlin’s chariots and horses traveled for several days and finally arrived at Jiangning City.
Since ancient times, Jiangning has been a prosperous and prosperous place, and the name of Jiangning also means “peace in the south of the Yangtze River.”. Because silk weaving is famous all over the world, Jiangning Weaving Department is located here. Jiangning Weaving Herbalist, an official, has always been the emperor’s confidant and can not be obtained, the governor of the two lakes have to give it three points.
Now, Jia Cheng, a weaving herbalist in Jiangning, has been stolen from his home.
The thief left a note with the words “wind without trace.” He was so angry that Jia Cheng vomited blood.
In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the news spread very quickly. I don’t know who gave Jia Langzhong a clear way, in short, as soon as Jaffe and Sheng Yunlin’s chariots and horses entered the Jiangning Gate, Jia Langzhong’s men blocked them and asked them to come to the door.
When they arrived at Jia Langzhong’s house, Jia Cheng exchanged no more than three pleasantries and said eagerly to Xie Fei, “Lord Xie, that thief has stolen the treasure I’m going to present to him this time!”
He pointed to the sky.
“I heard that this thief was doing evil in Lin’an, and you recovered the lost property. Please help Jia. Jia must repay him with all his money!”
Sheng Yunlin could not hold back and chuckled softly.
In ancient times, there were sayings about “pouring money into each other’s pockets to help each other” and “sacrificing one’s life to repay each other,” but we have never heard of “pouring money into each other’s pockets to repay each other.”. Either Jia Langzhong’s culture is not good, or he is too rich. She was not familiar with
this Jia herbalist, presumably the new weaving herbalist after her death. Jiangning Weaving Department used to be controlled by imperial relatives, and I don’t know why Chen Yu gave him this fat job.
But Sheng Yunlin’s smile made Jia Cheng look askance.
Because she was wearing a Uyghur hat, the gauze that had fallen from her face did not make her face real. Jia Cheng only saw a young woman, but he did not know where she came from. “Lord Xie,” he said discontentedly, “we’re discussing something important. It’s better for the women to avoid it.” “It doesn’t matter,”
said Jaffe.
It means not buying it.
“But..”
Sheng Yunlin interrupted Jia Cheng’s next words: “Jaffe, I want to go out for a walk.”
“Don’t go far.”
Don’t worry, I’ve been to Jiangning City. I’ll be back before sunset.
Jia Cheng was startled by the young lady’s “calling him by his first name” and watched him leave alone without even a servant.
Seeing that Sheng Yunlin was far away, Jaffe looked at Jia Cheng and said, “So, what did Lord Jia throw?”
“He Shi Bi.” Jia Cheng sighed.
Seeing that Jaffe frowned slightly, Jia Cheng hastened to explain, “I didn’t cheat you!”! It’s really the piece of He Shi Bi that Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao! I also got it by chance, and even never leaked the news to the outside world, just waiting to present it to the capital. Also do not know how the wind without trace is to know, but also broke my very tight custody, the night before yesterday, undetected to steal! If this piece of He Shi Bi doesn’t come back, I really don’t know what to do..
“Didn’t you say there were no leaks?” “If you can’t get it back, just don’t present it,” Jaffe said indifferently.
Jia Cheng grimaced and said, “But I’ve already written a letter to Jingzhong to report the process of getting it..”
Jaffe: “..” In a
hurry to claim credit, he asked for it.
However Chen Yu does not love to collect the beautiful jade and so on the thing, thought that did not have also did not have, will not blame down. However, if replaced by Sheng Yunlin, it is hard to say, she has always loved jade, the ability to appreciate is also first-class. “I see,”
said Jaffe. But I have no clue to find it for the time being. Lord Jia has to give me some time. In addition, if I ask about this piece of jade, please tell me everything you know, otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I can find it smoothly.
“That’s for sure!” Jia Cheng is full of promises.
Sheng Yunlin wandered alone in the city of Jiangning. The last time
she came to this place was more than ten years ago. At that time, Chen Yu was still the prince, and she was still Princess Changyi. When the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River, the younger generation took only two of them with them. She and Chen Yu laughed and played all the way from the Qinhuai River to the Jiming Temple. Tired of chasing and fighting, they panted and collapsed under an old tree, resting against the trunk.
At that time, in early spring and March, the petals of cherry blossoms fell like white rain, and the clouds and snow fell all over her body. She suddenly remembered the line from an ancient poem: “Scattered into mud and ground into dust, only the fragrance remains the same as before.”.
So she said to Chen Yu, “Yu, shall we bury a token under this tree?”
“Bury what?”
“How about my safety buckle?” Sheng Yunlin pulled out the glittering white jade ornament hanging on his chest. “This peace button belongs to you, but you can bury it here first. When you ascend the throne and go down to the south of the Yangtze River, you can dig it out, just like I was with you.”
Little Chen Yu opened his eyes wide and said, “At that time, wasn’t my elder sister with me?”
“You are so stupid!” Sheng Yun-lin laughed. “I would have been married by then. Maybe I wouldn’t be in the capital anymore.”
“No, I don’t agree!” Chen Yu immediately protested.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree.” Sheng Yun-lin patted him on the head and said, “Hurry up, dig a hole and bury this safety button with me!”
Two little men dug for a long time before they dug out a shallow hole.
Fortunately, the safety button is also very small and can be buried tightly.
……
Sheng Yunlin followed his memory and came to Jiming Temple again. Another chilly
spring, cherry blossoms in full bloom, flowers dancing like snow. She found the flower tree that she had leaned against in those days, and looked up at the snow-white arrow-feather-shaped petals falling from the jagged branches, just as in those days. More than
ten years have passed in a flash, and the beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains has not changed at all.
Only her shadow is here, with mixed feelings in her heart, but no one can say.
Sheng Yunlin went to the street to buy a small shovel and dug up the soil under the tree bit by bit.
She dug for a long, long time in the forlorn hope, but found nothing. Just when she thought she couldn’t find her last thought, she suddenly saw a silk purse that was already in tatters.
Gently pull open a look, a white and lustrous safety button, lying quietly inside.
Tears suddenly fell down.
She grasped the safety button tightly, as if to crush it into her palm.
It hurts.
It hurts. It hurts.
She could not feel the pain coming from anywhere, but felt the pain in her limbs, bones and viscera, which made her almost dizzy.
She still overestimated her ability to bear it. Those confused memories suddenly came into her mind, and the past of her past life flew by like a merry-go-round, which made her hands and feet cold. Shortly after
Sheng Yunlin left, another group of people arrived outside the Jiming Temple.
The man was dressed in luxurious clothes, and he was not an ordinary person at first sight. The leading man was very young, but he was twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but he was handsome and handsome. He was accompanied by a woman of about the same age, followed by a large group of people.
The woman’s posture was graceful, but her tone was somewhat flattering: “Husband, you’ve come back to the old haunt, and you probably have a lot of feelings, don’t you?”
The young man did not answer, but went straight to the biggest flower tree in the temple. Under the
flowers and trees, it is obvious that the soil has been dug and just filled.
The man’s brows suddenly tightened.
“Who did this..?” His voice was deep and even trembled slightly. The man
behind him said, “This..” Xiaoguan doesn’t know either. Everyone can come to this Jiming Temple, and it’s not against the law to dig a little dirt.
“Maybe the children who come to play are naughty. My husband doesn’t have to be so angry.” Woman’s way. The knuckles of the
young man gradually tightened, clenched into fists, and the veins bulged one by one.
“Arrange someone to check!” The man said.
