Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 117
[Chapter 84: Jealousy]
Lin Chengyou stayed in the treasure cabinet for a full hour before coming out.
He wrote and threw the letter, threw it and wrote it, and in the end he did not send it.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted in the heart, it seems that no matter how hard you try, you can’t justify yourself.
He was confused now, even a little confused.
Each of the questions asked by the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom had left him speechless.
He not only remembered what clothes Teng Yuyi was wearing this morning, he could clearly even say which dress she had worn a few days ago.
For example, that time in the Jade True Female Crown Temple, the light in the underground palace was dim and clear, but after he came out, he could see that she was wearing a moon white lotus flower monofilament flower cage skirt, and the flower buds on the cage skirt when walking around were about enough, reminding him of the lotus flowers that rippled in the summer blue waves.
Then that night in Li Baixuan, she was not at ease because she dreamed that he was assassinated, and specially prepared a table of wine and dishes to entertain him, if I remember correctly, she was wearing a crimson skirt that night.
Two nights ago, he went to look for her in order to find clues about Xiao Jiang’s case, and the skirt that Teng Yuyi wore and the beads and flowers on his head that night were all smoke and purple.
Even though several days have passed, Teng Yuyi’s several times of wearing is still clearly in his mind… He shook his head to try to calm himself down, but he remembered the situation that night when he taught her light exercises.
I don’t know what he thinks, obviously there are countless ways to return human feelings, he prefers to teach Teng Yuyi light skills, and one teaching is one or two hours, until she starts.
Think about it before, except in front of Ah Zhi Ah Shuang and the two little disciples, he had never been so patient.
No, not only did he teach light gong recently, but when he thought about it, last time he was at Ledao Mountain Villa, he was quite patient with Teng Yuyi.
Knowing that her sword was in urgent need of bathing, he obviously rushed back to the room to take a bath with a belly fire.
Seeing that she liked the Red Flame Horse, he tried to get it to her.
Knowing that the so-called “Xiao Ya can foresee” is a lie, he also patiently listens to her lie…
Thinking of this, he was frozen, wait, did he like Teng Yuyi earlier than Teng Yuyi liked him?
He was dumbfounded, as if that were the case.
Like just now, the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom are hateful, but what they said is not wrong at all, it is a fact that he stopped when he heard that Teng Fu gave a gift to Guan Li, and it is also a fact that he was happy to see Teng Yuyi send him to change his bones.
Would he be so happy if it was sent by someone else?
He was silent, no. Don’t say happy, maybe you don’t even bother to look at it.
It was not the two cans of wine that made him happy, but the giver.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, so I simply came out of the house and stood under the porch, and continued to be distracted in another place.
The spring rain was still falling, there was a sense of coolness in the air, and the light rain silently drifted to his face, calming the dry heat in his heart a little.
By now, he had almost completely sorted out his chaotic thoughts, and he was sure that the poison was fake, and he might have liked Teng Yuyi a long time ago.
So when did he really like her?
Unable to remember, he felt that it was a confused account.
So where does he really like Teng Yuyi?
He knew this very well, and she seemed to like him everywhere.
For example, now, as long as he thinks of the way she laughs, the atrium of his heart is as comfortable as the sweet spring water. The stubbornness with which she protected her own people, the indescribable cuteness, and the way she lost her temper and calculated people, also made him feel interesting.
When he was so old, he had never seen a more playful little lady than Teng Yuyi.
Okay, he just likes Teng Yuyi and how, which is not difficult to admit.
Besides, he and Teng Yuyi are now in love with each other. This morning, as soon as she settled down, she was busy giving him gifts, and when she saw him in danger last night, she did not hesitate to let Duan Fu come to help.
She liked him, that was the nail in the coffin.
Thinking of the two cans of fine wine in the box, the smile in his heart spread to the bottom of his eyes.
Suddenly I wondered, did he have to send something more precious than this?
What do the little ladies like… Treasure? Jewelry?
My aunt should know this very well, but he has to go back to Dali Temple first.
After calculating in his heart, Lin Chengyou looked up at the sky, realized that the hour was not early, and went down the steps to go outside. When passing a peach tree, Ben had already walked by, suddenly took a few steps back, smiled and looked at the treetops, flew up in his robe, found a peach branch, and casually broke and jumped down, this move was simply inexplicable, but it seemed that only by doing this could he vent the light heat in his body.
Along the way, he not only had a lot of messy branches in his hands, but also had a lot of sweat on his body, so that when he vented, the indescribable excitement in his body was reduced by a few points.
When I returned to the scripture hall, the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation Wisdom were not there, and I thought that I had run to the kitchen to make Sanqing Cake, and Lin Chengyou casually ate something, so he rushed to the Dali Temple on horseback.
*** The
corpses of Song Jian and Jing Chenshitai stopped at the coroners of Dali Temple.
This morning, he had already experienced corpses.
The poison arrow that killed Song Jian was not from the same poison as the poison pill that Master Jingchen had taken, but coincidentally, both poisons needed to be dispensed now, and the raw materials needed to be bought from the Brahmin Hu, which was the same as the Tianshui Shiluo.
Looking at the corpses of Shu Wenliang’s family of three over there, the poison taken by the three people was the broken intestine grass that could be bought in the usual Fang City.
Yan Ji sighed, “This Haoyue Sanren is really exhausted, in order to blame the whole case on Shu Wenliang’s head, he actually did not miss any of the links.”
Lin Chengyou looked at Shu Wenliang’s corpse, but what he thought was another matter, if this person was not Wen Qingshan, but the real Shu Wenliang, Jing Chenshi chose this person too much, just because he was a relative of Shu Liniang.
Jing Chenshi first aimed at Shu Liniang, who had done evil things, and happened to find that Shu Wenliang was as short as her, and secretly felt that this was a perfect object of marriage, so he had a later bureau?
Yan Sizhi’s voice sounded in his ears again: “By the way, in the morning, Zheng Shujie came to visit, as if he was shocked to hear that Shu Liniang had murdered her sister-in-law in her hometown, and told me that based on the one-sided words of Master Jing Chen, how can I determine whether this matter is true or false.” I had to tell Zheng Shujie truthfully, last night we searched the Yuzhen Female Guanguan all night, and failed to find the book that recorded the evil deeds done by these victims, and I wanted to come to Jing Chenshi too much to avoid revealing flaws, and had always only been eavesdropping, so Bai Shi and Shu Liniang had to go back and examine them carefully. I didn’t have the good sense to tell him the old man, Shu Liniang and her in-laws’ discord is a fact, it is also a fact that she was chosen by The Jingchen Master as the target of murder, there are so many pregnant women in Chang’an and the same state, the Jingchen Master chose three for so long, indicating that after careful consideration before starting, from this point of view, Shu Liniang estimated -”
Speaking of this, Yan Si smiled bitterly: “Zheng Shu is good enough for his own foreign housewife.” Lin
Chengyou eyeThe horn jumped, and yes, how did he forget about Zheng Shuliang, Shu Liniang came to Shu Wenliang last July, and she knew Zheng Shuliang that night in the Mid-Autumn Festival, she carried a book of poems and crashed into Zheng Shu’s arms, looking as if she had designed it in advance, but she was a flat-headed commoner, how did she know the whereabouts of the prime minister that night.
Is it possible that Shu Wenliang helped her arrange all this?
It is possible that Shu Wenliang was serving in Jingzhao Province, and it was not difficult for him to inquire about the whereabouts of Zheng Shuzhao.
Judging from Shu Wenliang’s early experience in Huazhou, he and his cousin and cousin had long since cut off contact, but when Shu Liniang came to Chang’an because she could not live in her in-laws’ house, Shu Wenliang took her in regardless of her previous suspicions.
Now that I think about it, Shu Wenliang may have seen that this niece not only had an outstanding appearance, but also knew a few sour poems, knowing that Zheng Shufei would like such a woman, so he took Shu Liniang in, and then created another encounter, and naturally sent Shu Liniang to Zheng Shuliang.
I thought that this “encounter under the moon” was arranged very successfully, so Shu Liniang only arrived in Chang’an for a month, and she took Zheng Shujie as she wished.
Lin Chengyou thought with a calm face, a small official of Jingzhao Province took up Zaizhi through a woman, just to promote the official, will there be any other purpose?
At this thought, the doubts that had been suppressed by him earlier came to mind again, Shu Wenliang had served as an aide under Peng Zhen in Huaixi Province in his early years, and later entered the Jingzhao Mansion under Peng Zhen’s recommendation.
Looking at it this way, will Shu Wenliang borrow his niece to catch Zheng Shujie, is it actually Peng Zhen’s instruction?
Peng Zhen is a party thrifty envoy, if you send a woman directly to Zheng Shujie, anyone can see that he has a bad heart, but if you arrange women through the people below, it will be much more obscure and much smarter…
After thinking about it back and forth, Lin Chengyou turned his head to look at the corpse of Haoyue Scattered Man over there, so she and her people behind the scenes picked Shu Wenliang as the object of marriage, not only because he had a pregnant niece who had done evil things, but also because Shu Wenliang was short in stature.
Perhaps the real reason was to deal with Peng Zhen behind Shu Wenliang.
But…… This made him wonder again, Haoyue Sanren was bent on murdering the saint, what good would it be to deal with Peng Zhen?
It should be known that Peng Zhen was an envoy of Huaixi Jiedushi, who had an army of 100,000, strict military discipline, was loyal to the imperial court on the face, and had no mistakes in words and deeds, and rushing to fight with such a strong clan trusted by the imperial court would only bring him great trouble.
However, Haoyue Sanren not only found out that Peng Zhen secretly asked Zaizhi to send a woman, but also pried out this inconspicuous “pawn” Shu Wenliang as the target of the marriage.
What is the point of this?
Once Shu Wenliang died, Peng Zhen could not be unaware, and with this person’s thunderous means, it was impossible to let someone secretly calculate himself like this.
However, The Dust Master still did this.
Thinking about it, Lin Chengyou’s heart jumped, could it be that they did this to let the imperial court follow Shu Wenliang’s line.
Only by investigating it will the imperial court learn of Peng Zhen’s conspiracy to secretly enlist courtiers, and if Peng Zhen really has the heart of a disobedient and knows that the imperial court is secretly investigating him, it is absolutely impossible to sit still.
Lin Chengyou’s face sank, so Jing Chenshi and her master family behind the scenes did this… Is it to force Peng Zhen to rebel?
Overhearing Yan Jizhi and another servant say, “Song Shizi’s corpse has been examined, and he will be sent back to Qingyun Temple.”
Lin Chengyou returned to God, the matter on the Side of Dali Temple was sorted out, he needed to go into the palace immediately, in addition to reporting the case to his uncle, he also had to discuss with the Emperor’s uncle about helping the virgin lady summon the soul.
He walked to Song Jian’s corpse, and Song Jian’s face was quiet, but his eyes were open.
Lin Chengyou was stunned for a long time, tried to help Song Jian close his eyes, tried several times but could not close, wanted to come to the soul of Zhenniang, Song Jian could not let go of the obsession in his heart.
Yan Ji stood quietly next to him and sighed, “How impermanent things are in the world, a good loving couple, in the end, ended up like this.”
Teng
Yuyi practiced his sword in the courtyard once, and finally waited for Cheng Bo to come and talk back.
Cheng Bo said that Qingyunguan had heard that it was a gift from General Teng, and accepted the snacks and wine.
Teng Yuyi let go.
Those two cans of bone mash were treasures she had treasured for a long time, and if she didn’t want to express her gratitude to Lin Chengyou, she wouldn’t be willing to take these two cans of wine out.
If Lin Chengyou couldn’t even look at this, she couldn’t do anything, because she couldn’t find a better treasure.
“How did Zi Yu Saddle do?” The seventh day of the first year is the birthday of the king’s son. Teng Yuyi was busy learning swords from Duan Fu, but he did not forget to ask Cheng Bo.
Cheng Bo’s eyes flashed suddenly, the lady returned from the Great Hidden Temple, she was again sending wine to The Prince of Cheng and the purple jade saddle, should it not be…
Speaking of niangzi, she has also had a lot of dealings with Cheng Wang Shizi in order to avoid disasters in the past few days, and Cheng Wang Shizi is such a good appearance, and it is not surprising that Niang Zi will have a mind.
Alas, he had to let the old man know about these things as soon as possible.
“Cheng Bo?” Teng Yuyi waited for half a day without waiting for a reply, and he couldn’t help but be a little strange that Cheng Bo actually lost his mind.
Cheng Bo smiled bitterly, “Urge it.” It has been done, today the craftsman will be sent to the house, when the mother personally looks at it, if it needs to be changed, it will be ordered immediately, do not worry, absolutely in time to do it before the seventh day. Teng Yuyi
nodded satisfactorily, “That’s pretty much it.”
Cheng Bo then told Teng Yuyi the news he had just heard in the morning: “I heard that the imperial court will reopen the Xiangxiang Academy this month, the list is almost set, and the name of the lady is also among them.”
Teng Yuyi made a move and hurriedly withdrew the Xiaoya Sword in his hand: “Does Grandpa know about this?”
Cheng Bo: “The old man knows.”
Teng Yuyi said annoyedly, “Grandpa is planning to let the imperial court give me a marriage?”
Cheng Bo blinked, could it be that he thought about it more, looking at this posture, the lady did not seem to have thought of marrying Cheng Wang Shizi.
At first, the old man also wanted to refuse this matter, but before the saint had summoned the old man into the palace, after coming out of the palace, the old man changed his mind. After all, this was a means of mutual restraint between the imperial court and the various vassals, and the old master, as a party emissary, could not help himself.
Teng Yuyi snorted coldly: “You don’t have to say it, I will ask Grandpa personally.”
Cheng Bo was afraid that the father and daughter would quarrel again, and said busily: “Niangzi does not have to worry too much, the saint and the empress have always been benevolent, even if they are married, they will consult the opinions of both parties in advance, this time they will go back to the academy to study, the niangzi should only go to make some young ladies who have come together, and then the niangzi has retired from general Duan Xiao… These children of the family in the capital are not all cunning, such as the King of Chun’an County, several sons of the Wuzhong Family… Oh yes, and ChengWang Shizi, all of whom are Zhilan Yushu. ”
When it comes to becoming a king shizi, Cheng Bo deliberately emphasizes the words, while also secretly looking at Teng Yuyi’s look.
Teng Yuyi was still thinking about how to talk to Grandpa about this, and inadvertently looked back, and the fox doubted: “Cheng Bo, why are you so strange today?”
Cheng Bo was frightened to withdraw his gaze, so that looking at the lady did not look like he had a heart for Cheng Wang Shizi, otherwise he should be ashamed.
Think about it, every time the niangzi mentions the chengwang shizi, she is very calm, not like with any admiration, but like the chengwang shizi as a great benefactor, so it is not strange, if the niangzi treats anyone well, it is eager to pluck out her heart and lungs.
Doubts are dispelled, worries and floating in the heart, the mother sent such a valuable thing to the King Shizi, not afraid of anything else, afraid of what misunderstandings there were on the side of the King Shizi, the old man and the lady did not want to marry the royal family, and Lin Chengyou was an authentic royal son, coming and going…
No, he still had to tell the old man about it.
Teng Yuyi squinted at Cheng Bo: “Cheng Bo, you are a little absent-minded today, well, you are busy with your going, if Grandpa comes back, no matter how late it is, tell me.”
“Hey.”
Knowing this, Teng Shao actually did not return to the palace for several days, and whenever he asked Cheng Bo, Cheng Bo only said that the old man should be busy with military affairs, fortunately, it was still far from the official opening of the Xiangxiang Academy, and the imperial court had not officially announced the list of students.
Unconsciously, on the sixth day of the first year, Cheng Bo held the repaired purple jade saddle and asked Teng Yuyi to look over, and Teng Yuyi circled around the purple jade saddle several times, expressing his satisfaction.
“Well, tomorrow I will personally go to the Chengwang Mansion to give gifts.” Teng Yuyi said, “By the way, have you inquired clearly, who are the people who will go to the Chengwang Mansion tomorrow?” “There
are too many people, and there are all the scholars.” You see, there are a few thick volumes in the name book alone. So
many people? Presumably, there will be a lot of gifts, and the purple jade saddle she sent will not be drowned in a large number of treasures.
It seems that she has to think about it in advance.
Teng Yuyi paced slowly: “Or, tomorrow morning, go to Du Mansion to pick up your aunt and cousin.” By the way, Cheng Bo, will you help me send a letter to the chief of the Qingyun Temple, and will the female relatives of General Li Guangyuan’s Family also go?
Cheng Bo was stunned, Li Guangyuan was the deputy general under the old master, because of his great achievements, he was promoted, and now he is also a hot vassal.
“How did the lady come up with the idea of asking General Li?”
Teng Yuyi: “Don’t ask so much, you first look for them on the roster.”
Cheng Bo turned over the roster for half a day: “Yes, General Li and his female relatives will go.”
Teng Yuyi paused, nodded, and said, “Got it.”
When Cheng Bo stepped back, Teng Yuyi thought doubtfully for half a day, bowed his head and tapped the handle of his sword: “Xiao Ya, you come out, I will ask you about something.”
In the past few days, Xiao Ya has slept in addition to eating, and today is no exception, Teng Yuyi knocked several times before he lazily drilled out: “What’s the matter?”
Teng Yu sat down on the table: “There are some things I don’t remember clearly, but there is someone who always makes me a little confused, hey, little old man, in this world, besides me, will anyone remember these things in the past life?”
***
Lin Chengyou was pulled by the prince to the Chun’an County Palace early in the morning, the bamboo curtain was draped under the porch, and the green and purple cases were set up, and the three uncles and nephews sat on the yin table, laughing and drinking tea.
Outside the curtain, the posture into the painting, the courtyard flowers and shadows, full of fragrance, facing such a beautiful view, no matter how much sorrow seems to be able to clean.
The prince scooped the tea soup with a silver fence, personally brought a cup of tea to Lin Chengyou, and smiled: “Come, drink the tea soup cooked by the emperor himself to dissipate the fatigue, the case is broken and I don’t see you resting, tomorrow is the birthday, don’t hang the case on your lips anymore.”
Lin Chengyou: “Rest assured, I will never mention it today.” The crown prince said, “The
Xiangxiang Academy is about to open soon, and yesterday Ah Niang told a joke, saying that there are young ladies in Chang’an City who do not want to marry into the clan room, and they have been busy discussing relatives or sending letters to Lang Jun recently.” Lin Chengyou’s
thoughts had already drifted to nowhere, and he didn’t answer the call, but he was absent-minded: “Yu, is the best jewelry shop in Chang’an a star picking building?” Chun’an
Junwang was slightly surprised: “How did you think of asking this?”
Lin Chengyou sighed, “Feel free to ask for someone.”
Although
he was used to rare jewelry since he was a child, he never bought jewelry himself. The jewelry of Ah Niang and Ah Zhi was either custom-made in the palace or purchased by the palace.
Speaking of this star-picking building, he has been to several times in the past, but all for the purpose of investigating the case, perhaps in addition to this famous, Chang’an has a better jewelry shop, afraid of running wrong, so I want to inquire with people.
The prince seriously thought about it, shook his head, and said, “I have to ask Uncle Huang, I have never bought jewelry in the market.”
Just as the steward was passing by the courtyard with the people holding a bunch of things, The Chun’an Junwang waved at the steward: “Come here.” How about the Star Picking Building? The
steward bent down outside the gangan and replied, “It should be the best one in Chang’an, and the price is much more expensive than the side.” The name ‘picking the stars’ has the meaning of exhausting the world’s treasures. This
name is not bad, Lin Chengyou pondered and smiled: “Got it.” “Other things Teng Yuyi estimated that he couldn’t see, since this one was the best, it was easy to say.”
The prince looked at Lin Chengyou doubtfully, “Who did you ask for?” ”
Colleagues.” Lin Chengyou said vaguely.
The prince had to ask more questions, and a servant woman behind the steward suddenly fell from her arms like a box.
Lin Chengyou glanced at it inadvertently, and the smile on his face froze.
The box was exactly the same as the box sent to Qingyun Temple, and looking at the woman’s feet, the contents of the box had already been sprinkled out a little and a half, it was a snack.
The steward scolded the woman a few times, turned around and charged several people to make amends: “The next person has no situation, and it has disturbed several highnesses.”
Lin Chengyou was confused in his heart, and he froze for a moment, pretending to laugh inadvertently: “What is that?” The
steward smiled and said, “They are all gifts sent by the little ladies who admire His Highness outside, they have a little heart, there are sachets, and some things have not even been withdrawn because they can’t find out the origin.” Lin Chengyou’s
heart jumped sharply, and he suddenly turned his head and smiled: “Uncle Huang, that box of snacks has been sprinkled, so it is a pity to throw it away, it is better to take it to us to eat.” The
prince also waved at the steward: “Take it, Grandpa hates us the most for wasting grain.” The
steward sent the jin box over, and Lin Chengyou changed his face when he saw it, and the jin box was neatly filled with more than twenty pastries and pastriesWhite and soft, dotted with fine white pear blossom petals, how chic it is.
