Chapter 31 Jade Xiao
Chapter 31 Jade Xiao
Although Fu Changxi only said a few words, Yu Tang He was very enlightened, which made him wake up suddenly.
Speaking of which, Tang He is also a smart person. If it was in the past, he would not have made such a mistake. It's just that he has been anxious for the safety of his lord these days, racking his brains to cover up the turnover; waiting for the lord to come back with great difficulty, he encounters the matter of the lord's amnesia again. As a subordinate, he is not good at showing his worries on his face, but his heart is inevitably a little more anxious, but he has lost the normal heart of the past. Now that he is a little bit like the prince, he has come back to his senses, and smiled bitterly to himself: But he was really confused, he had forgotten the roots of his own family, and he was really giving up.
How silly!
Tang He took a deep breath, then straightened his waist, raised his hand and bowed to Fu Changxi, and said solemnly: "This minister is confused, thank you Your Highness for the point."
Seeing that Tang He had come to understand, Fu Changxi's expression changed slightly and he nodded slightly.
Since Tang He wanted to understand the truth, he naturally stopped talking, but was concerned about Fu Changxi's current problem: "His Royal Highness, that girl Zhen doesn't seem to know your identity. But you have returned to Beijing now, as the regent. , since you are the abbot of the government, you have to communicate with people who are both inside and outside. After all, you can't hide your identity..." I just don't know what His Highness is planning.
Tang He said this at this time, which is naturally a vague reminder.
Fu Changxi had never thought of this, but when he heard the words, the color changed slightly. He naturally understood what Tang He meant: naturally, his identity must be met with people, I'm afraid it won't last long... Let's not talk about it, it's just the other courtyard in the Xishan courtyard, if Zhen Tingyun or Zhen Tingyun If the family wants to investigate, they will definitely be able to find out the owner behind the other courtyard. And if you want to know your identity, this is a suitable opportunity - today is the day when the regent enters the capital, and it happens that Zhen Tingyun bumped up.
But……
Frowning his brows and thinking for a moment, Fu Changxi shook his head and vetoed the matter, and said in a low voice, "Let's not mention this." After a pause, he added two more words: "Bring me the plain clothes for me, it's not good for me to do this now. It's nice to meet people. By the way, prepare another car, it doesn't have to be too eye-catching."
When Tang He heard the words, he bowed his body and complied with care, and only slandered a few words in his heart: What do you mean by "it's not easy to meet people like this", Your Highness, didn't you go to see the female student? How can it be like meeting a little lover, and still sneaking?
However, Tang He has been taught a lesson before, and he is a savvy person. As soon as he heard it, he knew that his prince wanted to change the dress made by the vassal king, and did not want to reveal his identity. He also reminded him about it. Since His Royal Highness didn't care, Tang He naturally wouldn't rush to block his master, so he brought up the plain clothes for a while, and took it into the carriage with both hands and presented it to Fu Changxi.
There was no need for others to serve, so Fu Changxi replaced the gown made by the feudal lord on the carriage by himself. Only the jade pendant on his waist that was similar to the purple jade pendant given to Zhen Tingyun remained. The golden crown on his head was also removed, and a black hair draped down along with it.
He frowned impatiently, and was too lazy to take care of his long hair, so he simply tied it loosely with a hairband. It looked ordinary, and seemed to be able to meet people.
After he had packed himself up, Fu Changxi called Tang He into the carriage again and asked him, "Is the carriage ready?"
Tang He nodded, and then he respectfully sent Fu Changxi to another lighter carriage to go to the Xishan Courtyard. The carriage could at least attract most of the attention, even if an old fox really knew Fu Changxi's whereabouts, seeing Fu Changxi cover up like this, he wouldn't talk nonsense everywhere.
It's just that, for this reason, Tang He was sitting in the carriage returning to the mansion, and he couldn't help but think a little more along the way he had said earlier: Don't say it, just as his lord is in his current status, at this time, he left the whole palace. At the risk of offending the Empress Dowager Zheng and the imperial clan, sneaked to see a little girl in the Xishan Courtyard... Those who knew it naturally knew that he was meeting a student, but those who didn't, thought he was a little lover... Wait!
How does this sound like those third-rate books in the market?
Of course, most of the stories are written by poor and sour scholars, and most of them are also about daughters and daughters who leave their family members and secretly meet with their lover in other courtyards...
Thinking of this, Tang Hemei's heart skipped a beat, as if being burned, and his brows furrowed.
He couldn't help but smack the word "lover" again in his mind, but he had some other thoughts.
*********
It was already evening when Fu Changxi's carriage drove to the gate of the courtyard of Xishan Bieyuan.
The twilight is four-fold, the setting sun reflects on the corner of the courtyard, the thin red glow is circulating in the air, and the clouds of fire are like flames flying in the air. The fire is dazzling and magnificent.
The guards in the other courtyard got the letter early and came to tell Zhen Tingyun in advance.
Zhen Tingyun was anxious and heard that Fu Changxi was coming back, so he ran out of the house with his skirts up and stood at the door of the other courtyard to welcome him. Even so, he was really waiting for someone. Seeing Mr. Fu Changxi, Zhen Tingyun became a little unhappy for some reason - it was like a child who fell and could hold back his tears when no adults were around. The adults were even more aggrieved, and couldn't help but want to cry.
Zhen Tingyun didn't want to cry, she couldn't help but want to be angry.
Fu Changxi just got off the carriage when he saw her puffed cheeks and puffed up appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhen Tingyun looked at him, turned his head slightly, and snorted.
In the evening, the rays of the sun were like fire, blazing bright, she stood in the magnificent light, her face was bright, and her dark eyebrows seemed to be coated with a thin layer of light. When she looked up, her side face was soft and soft, and a few strands of black hair slipped from her cheeks. The color of the snow cheeks was slightly dizzy. Even if she was puffing out her cheeks in anger, the color was intoxicating, as if it was indescribable. Stunning.
Fu Changxi looked at her like this, and suddenly felt that his female student looked like that little fox who likes to scare people with his claws and flick people with his tail when he is angry.
Although vexatious, it is cute and tight.
The milk is fierce and the milk is fierce.
Thinking of this, Fu Changxi felt itchy again. Although it was a bit bitter and cold in the northern border, there was a lot of plush stuff. He has a lot of things to do on weekdays, he has to train soldiers, think about military books, take care of vassal lands, and deal with vassals. It is called a large-scale pet competition scene - when the man next to him goes to the backyard to find a woman to relax, Fu Changxi also likes to touch the plush in that yard to relax.
So, is it that the plush is uncomfortable to the touch, or is the plush not cute when it acts like a spoiled child? With plush, what do women need to do? ——Fu Changxi, who lived to old age and single to old, always thought this way before.
It's a pity that because he was going to Beijing, he had to leave the plush in the yard and bring a horse.
Seeing Zhen Tingyun now, Fu Changxi felt a little itchy. He couldn't help but think of the "old love" in that yard, and he regretted not bringing the silver fox who looked like Zhen Tingyun.
Speaking of which, the little fox was exquisite and small, with a silvery white body and a very beautiful tail. It was fluffy and shiny, and it was warm and soft to the touch. In winter, only wear the fox around neck, like a silver-white scarf, it is very warm...
If Zhen Tingyun watched it, he would have liked it.
Thinking of this, Fu Changxi's always indifferent face didn't even notice a smile, and he looked at Zhen Tingyun with a rare mildness in his eyes.
Zhen Ting Yunyuan had also waited for a long time, and was angry, and couldn't help complaining: "I've been waiting for you for a long time! It's so late now, I'm leaving soon, but you only came back at this time. !"
All of Fu Changxi's unspoken words were blocked by Zhen Tingyun's complaints. So, he rudely threw the pot back to Zhen Tingyun: "You didn't say hello when you came, and I can't wait for you all day long." With this, he left all the people in the first palace, is this not enough?
Zhen Tingyun also felt that his tone was wrong when he heard the words, so he had to explain what he had done: "I just went home and can't go out all the time. This time, the regent is also returning to the city. My sisters and the others want to see it, so I took the time to spare. ."
After a pause, she felt that the pot was neither Fu Changxi's nor her own, so she simply threw the pot to the legendary prince regent.
"Who knows that the regent has chosen such a day, but you are not here. It is unfortunate enough."
Fu Changxi: "..."
This is simply unacceptable!
Fu Changxi was choked for a rare time, but he didn't know where to start his argument, so he simply asked, "Come here suddenly, is there something wrong?"
The topic turned a bit blunt, but it was also in Zhen Tingyun's mind, so she didn't care about it - she is not a grumpy woman, she doesn't have to complain endlessly as soon as they meet, and she is just about to get back to the point. . Therefore, she quickly accepted that she wanted to go, took a few steps forward, and reached out to help Fu Changxi.
Fu Changxi avoided and looked up at her: "What's the matter?"
Zhen Tingyun blinked his eyes: "Look at what you said, sir, I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do? Can't I miss you?"
Fu Changxi also hadn't listened to her sweet words for a while, but at this time, he felt it was appropriate, but he always held it, and there was only a "uh" on his face.
Zhen Tingyun looked at his face, thought about it, and came up to help Fu Changxi.
This time, Fu Changxi didn't dodge.
So, Zhen Tingyun supported the person, relaxed a little, and soon smiled and compared with his fingers, and said with a smile, "But I do have a small problem here - I've been studying behind closed doors at home these few days, reading and reading. , I read a lot of questions. It is said that teachers teach and teach to solve puzzles, so I rushed over to find Mr., you will solve my puzzles."
Fu Changxi: "...That's it."
That's right, this kind of unfilial student will think of himself at this time and talk sweetly to himself.
Seeing that Fu Changxi's face was not good, Zhen Tingyun reacted and hurriedly added: "By the way, I also bought a pound of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and jujube cake for you, wait, you must try it!"
Only then did Fu Changxi relax his expression, thinking that he was the only reason why he had planned a palace banquet for her, and it would be a good idea to buy some snacks to make up for it.
So, Zhen Tingyun helped Fu Changxi to enter the door, and Fu Changxi saw the leftover cakes.
He simply laughed: This is also considered to be bought for me? who eats it? !
Zhen Tingyun didn't feel guilty at all, he helped Fu Changxi to sit down, and said, "I know that Mr. is always picky, so I specially gave you a taste of it..." She pointed to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and suggested sincerely, "The jujube cake tastes a little sweet, but the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is easier to eat. Would you like to try it?"
Fu Changxi: can see that there is less sweet-scented osmanthus cake left.
Seeing Fu Changxi sitting still, Zhen Tingyun squeezed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it to Fu Changxi's mouth, blinking: "Sir?"
Seeing her like this, Fu Changxi couldn't get angry again, so he could only say: "Okay, let it go, I can use it myself."
After a pause, he took the initiative to say, "If you have any questions, just say it."
Zhen Tingyun was originally here to ask questions. First, he showed him the words he had written in the past two days, and then asked, "Look at my words, do you want to change this copy now?"
"Don't be in a hurry." Fu Changxi took a piece of osmanthus cake himself, took a bite, and looked at Zhen Tingyun's words and said, "Although it is better, it is still a little weaker. In my opinion, even if you are at home, It's so slack, you can just stick the paper on the wall to practice calligraphy just like you practiced calligraphy in the carriage before."
Zhen Tingyun was also thinking about this, and when he heard Fu Changxi's suggestion, he answered honestly.
On the other hand, Fu Changxi was a little curious when she saw so many big and small questions: "Didn't you go home? Didn't the family invite you to be a gentleman?"
"I didn't ask, it is estimated that my mother felt that I could not pass the exam this year and wanted me to learn a lesson and sharpen my temper, so she didn't take the initiative to ask." Zhen Tingyun was also very clear about Pei's thoughts. The words are clear, to Fu Changxi's endless sweet words, "Besides, I've already met you, Mr., how can ordinary lay people catch your eye? Of course, it's impossible to find other gentlemen."
Fu Changxi glanced at her, his face pale, but he didn't say anything.
Zhen Tingyun knew that the flattery was in place, and Fu Changxi might be in a good mood, so he talked to the other party about the topic that he was a little confused by reading arithmetic books these days.
Fu Changxi's mouth was dry, so he ordered Zhen Tingyun to pour a cup of hot tea, and then he drank tea while eating cakes, and slowly talked to her about these arithmetic problems.
Zhen Tingyun and the others had long been full of tea and pastries, and they didn't feel hungry at this time. Instead, they listened carefully and asked a few questions from time to time, so they were very attentive.
After finally finishing these few questions, Zhen Tingyun looked at the sky outside. He wanted to go back, and he wanted to play another song and ask Fu Changxi to listen to her progress on the flute and give some pointers.
Fu Changxi saw her hesitation, and after thinking about it, he took the initiative to say: "It's getting late, if you don't go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back to the city. Although I can keep you here, you are still a girl's house, and you spend the night outside. Reputation is always bad."
Although Fu Changxi pushed the palace banquet for Zhen Tingyun and didn't care about these reputations, he still had to think about Zhen Tingyun after all.
Love is appropriate, that's how it works.
Zhen Tingyun thought the same thing: although Zhen Yiyun is better now, maybe she is thinking about putting eye drops on her behind her back, so she can't take the initiative to give her a handle at this moment.
Therefore, Zhen Tingyun had some regrets, but he got up and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go back first."
She is really sorry that her eyes that have always been bright are not bright.
Fu Changxi's heart softened, and he said, "I heard your humming when I left last time. It's really benefited a lot. I thought at that time: I have to give you some rewards as a gentleman."
Before he finished speaking, Zhen Tingyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes seemed to be full of expectations.
Seeing her happy appearance, Fu Changxi's mood improved.
Of course, this gift has been prepared a long time ago.
Therefore, Fu Changxi just turned his head and gave an order to the people outside the door, and soon someone came with a slender wooden box.
Zhen Tingyun said sweetly, "Thank you, sir." She took the wooden box and opened it. She found that there was actually a purple jade flute inside, and there were several thin booklets under it, which must be music score one. Category. She muttered in her heart: First give the purple jade pendant, and then give the purple jade flute. Maybe Yuan Hui's ancestors dug a purple jade mine? Why not have so much purple jade for him to waste?
Even so, she was rather flattered and whispered, "This is too precious."
But Fu Changxi said: "I used this when I was young, but it's not very useful now, and I remembered it after listening to your Xiao sound, and ordered someone to dig it out from the treasury and give it to you - the female student Kao Le You can bring your own musical instrument at that time, but you can't bring a bamboo flute that you bought on the road, right?"
Zhen Tingyun was very moved in his heart, and tried to be brave: "What's wrong with the bamboo flute I bought on the road, don't I still play it well?"
Fu Changxi said categorically, "Shame on me."
Zhen Tingyun hummed twice, and finally accepted it with a half push, and whispered, "Thank you sir. I will definitely..."
Fu Changxi was also experienced in this regard. He intercepted her words and said, "filial piety is not something you just say."
Zhen Tingyun murmured in his heart: I used to say that I don't need to be filial. Even so, her mouth was still sweet: "Mmmm, why don't I rub your shoulders for you sir next time?"
Only then did Fu Changxi relax his expression.
The master and the apprentice briefly said a few words. Seeing that it was not easy to delay, Fu Changxi just got up and sent Zhen Tingyun out. He waited until Zhen Tingyun's carriage left, and then he called someone up and said, "Follow up and have a look. , don't call something wrong."
The subordinates responded quickly, ordered a few dark guards and followed him away.
********
Zhen Tingyun really liked the Ziyu Xiao that Fu Changxi gave him, and he quietly touched it a few times in the carriage on the way back, and he couldn't put it down.
After all, the weight of this purple jade flute is obviously much larger than that of jade pendants. In terms of value, only the imperial green bracelet that Mrs. Pei gave her can be compared, and it can almost be worth all her belongings.
After touching the purple jade flute, Zhen Tingyun was about to put it away when he moved his fingers slightly, as if he had touched something. She looked down curiously, and if she saw a shallow Xi character at the bottom of the jade flute, she couldn't help but secretly said: Although it may be bad luck to engrave the word 'Hui' on the jade pendant, although Xi and Hui are opposites of each other, they are like Yuan Hui. This kind of personal use must be engraved on one, and don't know if there is a quirk?
Thinking like this, Zhen Tingyun took Zi Yuxiao back into his arms again, with joy in his heart: Anyway, Yuan Hui was given to her, it was hers!
After putting away the Ziyu Xiao, Zhen Tingyun began to look at the two booklets that Fu Changxi had pressed under the wooden box. One of them was that she had guessed the score, and the other was that she had asked the other party several times before. The point of riding and shooting that did not come.
Although Ziyuxiao is rare and precious, these two booklets are extremely important to Zhen Tingyun right now.
Even though it was getting late, Zhen Tingyun still took the two booklets and flipped through it roughly, and determined the direction of his next efforts - it's time to find an opportunity to ask where Pei's Zhuangzi is and when he can go. .
Zhen Tingyun had something in his heart, so he went back to Zhen's house all the way. When she was walking back, she happened to bump into Zhen Yiyun at the gate of the courtyard.
Since the two sisters never dealt with each other, Zhen Tingyun didn't have anything to say when he saw this sister, but just casually said: "Sister has come back? Then I can rest assured... I'm sore my legs from shopping today, so I'm not here. I'm bothering my sister here, so I'll go back and rest first."
Zhen Yiyun glanced at her, his eyes turned, but he seemed to be thinking about something, and said: "Since you are tired, then go and rest."
Zhen Tingyun nodded, turned back to the room, asked someone to fetch water to cleanse his face and hands, then changed into a lake-colored homely shirt, and then sat lazily on the reclining chair, holding the purple jade flute Playing around, I was thinking about whether to play a song or not, when I heard two old women with fierce faces coming from outside. They came up to salute and said, "Second girl, madam, please come over and talk."
Zhen Tingyun was startled when he heard the words, then slowly got up from the reclining chair, stared at the two strange old ladies, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The two women spoke politely: "It's nothing, just asking something."
Zhen Tingyun raised his brows slightly, nodded quickly, and simply responded, "I see, I'll pack up and go with you."
The two old ladies also smiled when they saw her being so straightforward. Because they were born tall and strong, with big arms and thick waists, and their faces were full of flesh, although they were laughing at this time, they were not only not gentle but rather fierce, even if they spoke slowly, they seemed to be quarreling with people: " It stands to reason that the girl is the master, it's okay for you to ask the old slaves to wait, but it's not good to ask the wife to wait for a long time, please ask the girl to wait as soon as possible."
Zhen Tingyun listened to these words, and felt a little bad, and then thought of Zhen Yiyun who had met at the entrance of Shicaiyuan, gritted his teeth secretly, then sorted out his clothes, and quietly ordered Pinglan: "I'm afraid there is something wrong there, you Make a run for me and invite grandma to the main yard to talk together."
After a pause, Zhen Tingyun lowered his voice: "It must be fast."
Hearing her voice on the railing, he couldn't help but get nervous and hurriedly responded.
Zhen Tingyun invited a foreign aid for himself, so he was relieved a little, and after cleaning up, he went to the main courtyard.
When she arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, someone stopped Qiu Si, who was following Zhen Tingyun, and only allowed her to enter alone. Zhen Tingyun's bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and his face was still indifferent. He only ordered to Qiu Si: "You wait for me here." He walked in.
When she passed the mahogany Eight Immortals and crossed the sea map screen, she heard a cold rebuke: "Nice girl, don't kneel down for me!"
Zhen Tingyun was startled and looked up, only to see Mrs Pei sitting in the right place with an angry face.
It was Zhen Yiyun who sat beside Pei Shi.
Zhen Yiyun was still dressed as when the two of them met, with her hair in a cloud bun and a goose-yellow woven gold jacket.At this time, she was sitting upright on one side, her hands on her knees, her head was slightly drooping, her eyelids were flushed with thin red, and her eyelashes were also wet, apparently she had cried just now.
If you want to say the reason why Pei Shi was so furious at this time, it is necessary to push the time forward a little bit.
