Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 4

[Chapter 4]

Mrs. Anguo was so angry that she couldn’t break free for a while, she simply grabbed the girl beside her before the thing locked her: “Children whose teeth have not yet fallen, dare to use this insidious method to plot against me, why not tie me up? I’ll take her to the burial immediately.”

Her arm was about to stretch out, and something suddenly stabbed in front of her. The blade of the sword was green and cold, and it was the jade sword that made her suffer a lot earlier.

Teng Yuyi was able to move as early as when Mrs. Anguo was distracted. The attack on this monster was not to worry about the girl’s safety, but to want the monster to die immediately.

She held the most vengeance in her life. She wished to smash this thing to ashes early on.

However, before she could stab the monster’s left claw, the rope tightened suddenly, and Mrs. Anguo’s eyes bulged, and she was pulled off the ground at once.

The barrier was broken, the ladies were so frightened that their faces turned pale, the yard was in chaos, the rope went around in a circle, and the end jumped back to the boy’s hand, he smiled and tied the monster, and threw something to Teng Yuyi: “Take this The medicine is given to the wounded.”

Teng Yuyi almost took the medicine bottle and looked at the man carefully. He was wearing a white jade crown, a gold sword hanging from his waist, a purple robe, and blue socks (Note 1). According to the regulations of this dynasty, this is a prince-level dress.

Looking at his appearance again, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is tall and handsome, handsome and handsome. If it weren’t for the bad smile on his face, he would be a rare and beautiful man.

Teng Yuyi had already recognized who this person was, the nephew of the current emperor, the eldest son of the Chengwang couple, a well-known clan son who was loved by thousands of people: Lin Chengyou.

Teng Yuyi glanced at him, then turned around and dragged her aunt who was still a little stunned into the house: “Thank you, Shizi.” The

only time she dealt with Lin Chengyou in her previous life was at the flower viewing banquet at the Jade Real Girl View.

At that time, the Teng family had already retired, and his father was still supervising the army in Huainan Road. In order to take care of his sick aunt, Teng Yuyi voluntarily stayed in the ancestral house of Chang’an Yanshoufang. When she saw the letter from her father from Huainan Road, she didn’t know what to do, and secretly guessed that it had something to do with her father’s transfer back to Beijing.

At that time, the cause of death of her cousin was still unknown. She served in front of her aunt’s sick bed every day. Because of her depression, she had not traveled for a long time. That day, the steward brought the post and she didn’t want to go, but she heard that the person hosting the banquet was the queen, so she began to prepare for it.

As Teng Yuyi expected, the flower viewing event was unprecedentedly lively, and the ladies dressed up and gathered in groups. It is said that not only the queen, but also Princess Cheng, who has been traveling abroad for many years, also came.

Teng Yuyi went with the ladies to visit the Queen and Princess Cheng, and suddenly someone whispered, “Look, that’s Prince Cheng.”

Teng Yuyi followed and saw a handsome and suave boy walking through the garden.

This person is wearing a light robe with arrow sleeves and a golden bow on his arm. He doesn’t look like he’s coming to a banquet, but rather like he wants to leave here to hunt at any time.

“Yeah, he doesn’t look like he’s here to see the lady, he looks like he’s here to play.”

“I heard that he was going to fight Ma Yu, but was temporarily escorted by Princess Cheng.” The

banquet officially started, and Teng Yuyi followed the girls . Playing the qin, drinking tea, and appreciating flowers, because she vaguely guessed the meaning behind the queen’s holding of this poetry meeting, she performed perfectly. When chatting with pearls and jade, and composing poems, don’t get out of the way. Even when dealing with servants in secluded corners, you are more gentle and patient than usual.

After the poetry meeting, the queen and Princess Cheng deliberately invited Teng Yuyi to come forward, she answered a lot of questions quietly, and when she came out, she heard the palace people talking: “I guess it is the little lady of General Teng’s family, and this person’s appearance is too attractive. Look , don’t look at the arrogance of the prince, after all, at the age of enlightenment, if he saw the little lady of the Teng family with his own eyes, he would most likely be tempted.”

“Yeah, looking at the appearance of the princess, it seems that he is also very satisfied with the Teng family, little prince. No one is afraid, just afraid that his grandfather and mother, with the princess present, the prince will not dare to mess around. If the prince dares to run away this time, he will be beaten by the princess.”

Teng Yuyi feels very fresh, she is so big, she is still a head. Once I heard that the princess would beat her son herself, I wanted to look at the princess Cheng who was sitting on the top again, but the queen ordered them to take them to the garden to enjoy the autumn chrysanthemums.

When passing by Pinecui Pavilion, Teng Yuyi caught a glimpse of a number of luxuriously dressed young men sitting in the pavilion. The breeze blew the bamboo curtain, and dozens of gazes were cast from the seat.

Teng Yuyi walked without squinting. It was the late autumn season. The drizzle fell silently, and there was a fluffy coolness on her face. When she returned to Teng Mansion that night, she recalled the time when Queen Bairi and Princess Cheng took her to ask questions. The situation is already in the mind.

She has no admiration for this Prince Cheng, but the ladies secretly tease him. The one who talks most is Prince Cheng. She listens while drinking tea. Since they all adore this person, it must be a bit too much. place of people.

This time, there are so many clan children to choose a concubine, she Teng Yuyi can’t bow down, so she has to choose the best one.

She took off her hairpin calmly, and inquired about the news the next day. The queen and the princess took her portrait to ask for advice. Lin Chengyou only had two merciless words: not marrying.

At that time, Teng Yuyi was rolling up her sleeves to make incense with white honey, and accidentally knocked over the incense cup.

not marry? She may not be willing to marry yet. It must be the death of her cousin and the illness of her aunt that disturbed her mood, which is why she lost her head and went to participate in the election of the clan’s children.

In fact, she had thought about it for a long time in the past two days. She had never met, and she had no idea about her temperament. All the things she heard that day were just what the person looked like in the eyes of outsiders. It’s a good match, but it’s a lifetime.

She lost her mother when she was five years old, and her father, Nanzheng and Beizhan, was not around. For many years, she had been accustomed to controlling everything by herself. Marriage is not a child’s play, and of course it was no exception. She should be glad that Lin Chengyou did not marry, so that she would not regret it in the future. and.

She raised her head and laughed three times, and she forgot about it in a blink of an eye. The next day, she went to the Du residence to serve her aunt as usual, and returned to the residence at night to make camel’s hoof soup.

The fragrant soup and glutinous rice served with Sanle paste bought from a Persian wine shop is really a delicacy that can only be eaten by gods.

After she was full of food and drink, she went to take a bath in the Dendrobium bath. She had twisted the towel well, but two words suddenly appeared in her mind: “Don’t marry.”

Ah. Immediately, she lost her interest, and threw the towel back into the water with a sullen face.

Bai Zhi and Bi Luo slipped aside and whispered: Today, the lady is angry for some reason, and her cheeks are bulging all day.

joke! She was clearly in a good mood. She put on her clothes and went back to the room in a hurry, but when she got to bed, there was an extremely uncomfortable itching sensation on her back.

This itch is neither on the bone nor on the skin. If you stretch it out to scratch it, you may not find a place, but if you don’t care about it, it will come out from time to time for a while. In the final analysis, one sentence: if you are not happy, you are not happy all over.

This unpleasant feeling lasted for three days, until she was thinking about doing something to find her way back. At this moment, her aunt’s condition suddenly worsened.

She served the medicine stone without sleep. She hoped that her aunt would get better, but the more she treated, the worse she became.

The medical officers were all helpless, and her uncle and cousin were worried. In a hurry, she sent a letter to her father, saying that the medical officers she had hired earlier were useless, and begged him to find a solution as soon as possible.

Since A-Niang passed away, she has been begging her father several times because she hated her father for never writing to him, all because of her aunt’s illness.

She didn’t want her aunt to die. Auntie left early. Fortunately, her aunt and cousin took good care of her. If even her aunt left, wouldn’t she be alone again.

As expected, the father rushed back to Chang Ye, and invited Yu Fengyu from the Shang Pharmacy to diagnose the pulse that night. Unfortunately, it was too late. The aunt’s disease was fundamentally damaged. After these days, it was useless to treat the stone.

The night my aunt left, my uncle and cousin were weeping in front of the coffin. She knelt down, knowing that it was useless to cry. She had already tasted it when she was five years old. Just lay silently in the coffin.

I remember the night my mother died, she stood in the mourning hall and patted the cold wooden board with her small hands.

“A-Niang, A-Yu won’t make you angry anymore.”

“A-Niang, A-Niang, get up and look at A-Yu.”

The house was too chaotic, and she climbed onto the coffin while people were not paying attention. Her mother was dressed in full clothes, with yellow flowers on her temples, and her quiet and soft face was the same as usual.

She clumsily crawled in and stretched out her fat arms to her mother: “Aniang, hold Ayu to sleep.” The

mother ignored her, sobbing softly, pressing her head against her mother’s chest, clenching her small fists and saying: “Don’t be angry, A-Yu, A-Yu helps A-Niang beat women.”

She imagined that her mother would take care of her when she woke up, and she cuddled in her mother’s arms, falling asleep unconsciously.

Perhaps it was the prayer in her heart that played a role, and she fell into a warm chest while she was half asleep, but when she opened her eyes in surprise, she met her father’s haggard face full of stubble.

His father’s expression was sad, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

She was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered the woman beside her father, and burst into tears: “I don’t want grandpa! Grandpa is a bad person! I don’t want grandpa to hug her!”

Father burst into tears, his knees were short, and he hugged her Kneeling before the coffin, no matter how she cried, she was silent like a mountain.

She sobbed loudly, and at that moment, she finally realized that her mother would never come back, and the taste of fear expanded infinitely, like a boulder pressing on her chest, she kicked and beat her father, screaming: “Grandpa is a bad person! It’s you! The sickness that caused A-Niang!”

Recalling this, the sadness and resentment surged up like a tide, she dazedly grabbed the collar of Rushang, and suddenly someone shouted in her ear: “Ayu, Ayu!”

Teng Yuyi turned back God, looking at her aunt’s face that was similar to her mother’s, her heart was filled with grief. She

sobbed and plunged into her aunt’s arms: “Auntie.” Like a child, he stroked the back of Teng Yuyi’s head: “Good boy, what’s going on? It must be that monster that scared you. Don’t be afraid of anything when your aunt is here.”

As soon as they entered the room, the medicine bottle Lin Chengyou gave was in her hand. Teng Yuyi looked around, quickly calmed down, opened the bottle cap, and poured out three pills at once: “Aunt, let’s take the medicine separately.”

Mrs. Du was not happy Zisheng, “Hey”, made arrangements.

Duanfu was lying under the porch, Teng Yuyi took the medicine and went outside to save people, the steward of Dongxian’s family rushed up in three steps and two steps, and laughed dryly: “Miss Teng, the old servant said something wrong, The old slave kowtows to the lady to make amends, but my second mother is anxiously waiting for help, Mrs. Teng, give the old slave the medicine.”

Teng Yuyi gave her a glance, the master and servant have done a lot of wicked things, and from her point of view they are not innocent at all. , But after all, it is a life, and it seems a little unreasonable to openly see death. So he smiled and opened the bottle cap generously. Who knows that only one pill is poured out, and it is empty.

There are still two people injured, how can one be divided? The steward’s face changed a bit. There was only an old servant there, and it was no big deal to die. Since there was only one pill, of course, she had to leave it to her second mother, so she hurried forward to snatch it: “The old servant will thank the second mother first. It ‘s over!”

Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi slanted, grabbed the medicine and ran to Duanfu.

The lady in charge was stunned, seeing Teng Yuyi run away in a hurry, she stamped her feet in exasperation, turned around and went down the steps, looking at Lin Chengyou with tears in her eyes: “Sir, my second mother’s life is on the verge of death. Don’t let the noble act of the prince in vain.”

Lin Chengyou did not respond, the lady in charge swallowed, the lady was anxiously waiting for help, she couldn’t let the little lady of the Teng family make random arrangements, knowing that there were monsters over there, she still insisted The scalp went over.

“Sir, that medicine pill…”

She glanced at the court inadvertently, and she shivered with fright. She saw that Mrs. Anguo’s face was indescribably weird, and the milky white background showed a radiant brilliance, not like a human’s. The skin is like the first-class white porcelain of Xing kiln, and the eye sockets are like smeared with bright-colored rouge, and the drunkenness reveals a ferocious drunkenness.

Mrs. An Guogong had a talisman paper on her mouth, and she only wanted to be speechless. She stared at Lin Chengyou for a moment, and suddenly smiled silently.

When she smiled, the curtains in front of the courtyard rose without wind, and black clouds poured in from all directions.

The steward lady’s legs were straight and weak. This scene reminded people of a peony swaying in the wind. How beautiful that face was before, and how terrifying it was now.

Just when I didn’t know what to do, there was a sudden change under my feet. I looked down, and there were many colorful flower branches sprouting from the ground. The branches and leaves swayed, as if they were smelling something. When I turned my head and found the lady in charge, they rushed up one after the other.

The lady in charge was so frightened that she stepped back again and again, but the flower branch climbed up along her legs, and the more she struggled, the tighter it became.

“Sir, help, help!”

Lin Chengyou’s sneering smile on his face disappeared, he leaped to the roof beam, and looked around without saying a word, until the lady in charge was so frightened that she was about to come out, so she threw a Zhang Fu: “Can you get out of here?”

The talisman hit the courtyard, splashing out a scorching stench, the flower branches couldn’t dodge in time, most of them were burnt to black, and the rest had learned their lesson and retreated to the ground.

The steward’s feet were loosened, and she hurriedly crawled into the corridor to go down: “Get out, old slave, get out.”

She knew that Lin Chengyou could have rescued her long ago, and she was only making her suffer because she thought she was in the way. It is said that this prince is not easy to mess with, tonight is enough to learn.

The author has something to say: 1. The relevant regulations on the costumes of princes and princes in “Old Tang Book. Yufu Zhi” are referenced here.

In the Tang Dynasty, purple was the most respected clothing. Since the Wude period, it was stipulated that only “princes and officials above the third rank” could wear purple uniforms.

Accompanying the emperor to the moonlight pavilion to watch the big breasts is a formal event, so Ah Da wore the most coquettish purple hahahahahaha.

2 Camel hoof soup is a famous delicacy in the Tang Dynasty. Sanle jelly is a fine wine brewed by the Persians. It is brewed from three kinds of fruits: Ammol, Pilile, and Harira, so it is called Sanle jelly. (See Supplementary History of the Tang Kingdom for details.
