Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 118

[Chapter 85: Traveling in the Sea of Vinegar.]

Lin Chengyou looked at the flower cake in the lacquer box, no, looked at the pear blossom petals on the flower cake.

He remembered that night, when Teng Yuyi went down the beam of the house because of his light exercises, he had accidentally dropped a package of things wrapped in water-colored towels from his sleeves.

That night, the moonlight was like day, and you could clearly see that the towel was filled with pear blossom petals, thinking that it was the pear tree in the courtyard that fell, and was carefully collected by Teng Yuyi.

He had wondered why she had collected so many petals, and then remembered that she had told Miten and Mi-sen that the best dim sum in the whole of Gangnam was the flower cake she made herself, so he secretly guessed that she was for making flower cakes.

The box of flower cakes in front of me is exactly the petals of pear blossoms, each petal is very complete, and you can see that you have carefully selected them.

From the naked eye alone, he couldn’t tell if it was the same pile of petals, but since Pear Baixuan got its name “Pear White”, it was precisely because the pear tree in the courtyard was born well, and the petals that fell from the tree were as white and full as the ones on this box of snacks.

He stared at the petals and looked at it, not knowing how much effort it took to look away, and when he lifted his eyes, he began to look at the brocade box containing the snacks again.

In order to show their identity, it is common for the noble families of Chang’an and Luoyang to wrap the paint box with makeup brocade, but the brocade box in front of them is different, because whether it is the screw on the paint box or the makeup brocade outside, the use of zhuyi pattern is not unique, but it is also very rare.

He couldn’t be sure if the petals were the same pile, but he was sure that this box was almost the same as the one sent to Qingyun Temple that day.

Then he shifted his gaze to the front of the court, where the servants each held different objects in their arms, including brocade boxes, painting scrolls, and even shoes and socks…

The steward said that these things were sent by the little lady who admired the emperor, perhaps to express her love more fully, and it seemed that most of them were made by hand.

Yes, it’s all done by hand.

That box of flower cakes is no exception.

He withdrew his gaze slowly, picked up the tea cup and drank it absently, but he couldn’t even taste what the tea soup tasted like.

It was absolutely a coincidence, he told himself.

But reason told him that even if it was a coincidence, could it be so coincidental.

The front foot Teng Yuyi collected pear petals, and the flower cake made of pear petals on the back foot was sent over, the flower cake was not a common snack, and the use of pear blossom petals as embellishment was unheard of, so this can no longer be described by coincidence.

And the brocade box is also right.

Moreover, last time at Ledao Mountain Villa, Teng Yuyi could not calculate his bath soup, so he turned his head and asked his uncle to ask for bath soup for her.

She had definitely inquired about Uncle Huang’s temperament a long time ago, and he was very sure of that.

If she was not curious about Uncle Huang, why did she inquire about Uncle Huang?

He knew that the emperor had always recruited young ladies to like, just by looking at the county palace, there was always an endless gift, and a little lady like Teng Yuyi might also like the emperor’s type of langjun.

Then this box of snacks may really be sent by her, if not, there is no way to explain so many coincidences.

But what is she, she likes him and will not change her heart for long?

Moreover, she only gave him two bottles of good wine, but what she gave to Uncle Huang was a pear blossom cake made by hand. The weight of the two gifts can be said to be clear at a glance.

The tea soup suddenly became astringent and heavy, and I couldn’t drink it.

Do you want to go to Teng Mansion immediately and ask Teng Yuyi in person?

How should he open his mouth?

Debunk her face to face about secretly giving gifts to uncle huang, and then ask her why she obviously likes him but gives gifts to uncle huang?

In case she admits it, how would he answer the phone.

“I’m just going to just ask. Well, since you like Uncle Huang, I wish you—”

Impossible!

It’s also too hot.

“You go like Uncle Huang!” Don’t provoke me again in the future. Yes

! That’s what I should have said to her.

With the thoughts, he could hardly resist getting up, but the last shred of sanity in his head pulled him in, what if it was a coincidence? He didn’t understand the reason and ignored questioning her, wouldn’t he have greatly annoyed Teng Yuyi, and with her nature, maybe he would break with him on the spot.

No, can not go, this question, no matter what the answer is, is not half of the benefit to him.

Besides, he didn’t believe that Teng Yuyi would be a person of The Twilight Chu dynasty.

Then there are only two possibilities for this matter now: this flower cake is not sent by Teng Yuyi, and there is really such a coincidence in the world.

Another possibility, of course, is that the flower cake was given to the emperor by her.

If so, then it means, it means……… She originally only liked the emperor? So what did she do to him?

Lin Chengyou was holding the tea cup, his face was still relatively calm, but his heart was very chaotic, no, it was not only chaotic, it was almost sour and swollen to explode.

No, he must figure this out. If you don’t go back to the Qingyun Temple first, at least put the two boxes together to compare, if it is just a face image, the details are not like it, indicating that it is not the Tengfu Jin Box at all.

Thinking like this, his face looked a little better, but although his reason was there, his heart was still chaotic, and he obviously heard the emperor and the prince talking in his ears, just like the wind passing through his ears, and he didn’t listen to a word.

***

Teng Yuyi handed the wine cup to Xiao Ya: “You have also seen this person, that is, Li Sanniang, her grandfather was my grandfather’s deputy general, so when she was a child, she often went to the house to play with me.” I remember that she was much more shy than she is now, but this time when I saw her, her knowledge and insight were far better than before, and that was it, last time in the Yuzhen Female Crown View, her hand skills made me even more impressed, from the skill point of view, let alone ten years of achievement. Xiao Ya you said, a person was originally like this, suddenly became like that, will there be any mystery in this?

Xiao Ya grunted and drank a lot of wine, put down the wine cup and smacked his mouth comfortably: “It sounds a little strange, but maybe people originally understood this, but you didn’t have much contact with her after you grew up in your past life, so you didn’t have a chance to understand this.”

Teng Yuyi secretly wondered, but it was also true that after she came to Chang’an in the past life, she really did not have the opportunity to contact Li Huaigu, unlike in this life, she often met Li Huaigu.

After pondering for a while, she waved her hand again: “No, no, I don’t just wonder about this, I’m even more strange about her grandfather.” I remember that in my previous life until the year of my death, General Li was still just the history of suzhou thorns under the jurisdiction of Grandpa Huainan Province, and when I saw it this year, General Li not only promoted the history of the Hangzhou Thorns, but also concurrently served as the envoy of the Eastern Zhejiang Capital, and that day I heard Cheng Bo say that the imperial court also intended to promote General Li to the position of envoy of Jiangnan Eastern Province, which is completely different from my memory.

Xiao Ya blinked twice at the green bean eyes: “And such a thing?”

Teng Yuyi nodded, “It is said that the reason why General Li has been promoted in succession is because he has successfully managed the floods and locust plagues in eastern Zhejiang, these two natural disasters have not come, and they have come and gone, and they have often caused disasters, but General Li seems to have foreseen in advance, and the disaster prevention has been meritorious in the second time, plus the shrewdness of the officials, these years have governed Jiangnan Yiyu well, and some people say that this is because Li Sanniang can predict the disaster, so he can remind his father to take precautions in time.” Of course—”

Her gaze drifted to the opposite Xiaoya: “In my opinion, it may also be that someone is jealous of General Lee’s promotion too quickly, and deliberately fabricated such a rumor to slander his talent, but what if it is true?”

Xiao Ya brushed his whiskers, “Hey, it seems a little suspicious that you said that.” “That’s

why today I called you out and asked, in addition to Li Sanniang, there are several other things that make me feel strange, such as the fact that in the past life, Sister A was strangled to death in the bamboo forest, and in this life, she became a tree demon, and then it was the black man, who deliberately appeared in front of Duan Fu as soon as he appeared last time, as if he expected to be able to lure Duan Fu away.” Xiao Ya, you said, will there be anyone else besides me who knows about past lives? Xiao Ya hugged his arm, and Da La helped Teng Yuyi analyze it: “The

matter of the Black Dust Man, maybe it was just a coincidence, before we didn’t know that The Jing Dust Master was in the same group with the gang, now I want to come, maybe he didn’t come to you that day, but suddenly learned that The Patience ran out, afraid that the Jing Dust Master was too exposed in front of you, so he quickly ran to the guanzhong to remind her, and the result was that he was targeted by Duan Fu, As for this Li Sanniang you said… It may not be quite right, by the way, have you heard in your past life that she would prophesy? “Nothing

.” This Teng Yuyi is very sure.

Xiao Ya showed a thoughtful expression: “This is strange.” “Think

about it, what kind of person can predict the disaster? If she also lives by her life, why don’t she see those demons and ghosts looking for her?

Xiao Ya urn said angrily, “People may not be continuing their lives, maybe it is just because of chance and chance to know a little chance in advance.” As I said earlier, your situation is different from others, your wrongs are too heavy, even the fate has changed because of this, originally according to the fate you are not alive to be sixteen years old, it was someone who forcibly renewed your life, this is an act against heaven, of course, it will attract evil spirits. “The

injustice is too heavy?” Teng Yuyi said in surprise, “You didn’t say that last time.”

Xiao Ya realized that he had leaked his mouth, and a harrier turned over and was busy jumping on the sword: “Oh, the heavenly opportunity cannot be leaked, don’t ask, I have limited knowledge of an instrument spirit.”

Teng Yuyi covered the body of the sword with his hand: “No, you finish your words and then leave, I haven’t done anything that hurts heaven and nature, where is the wrongdoing?” “You’ll

know when you should know anyway.” If you ask again, maybe the old man will destroy people with a sword. Really, the old man is not threatening you. Xiao Ya said as he took advantage of the gap to drill into the sword body, and then whether Teng Yuyi seduced with wine or provoked by words, lai did not come out of the sword anyway.

After a while, Chun Rong and Bi Luo came in, and the two of them each held a stack of embroidered niang’s newly cut clothes, and said to Teng Yuyi with joy: “This time the newly made clothes are really beautiful, the lady will come and see.”

Teng Yuyi had the heart to pick out clothes at this time, and said casually: “Leave it aside, I’ll look back.”

Chun Rong said: “Lady look at it now, tomorrow becomes as lively as the royal palace, instead of picking old clothes, it is better to wear new clothes directly, pick them in advance, and when you leave tomorrow, you can be more relaxed.”

Bi Luo also said: “Yes, the clothes are selected, and the sons of can also help the lady with jewelry earlier.” The

two pushed Teng Yuyi to the front of the bed while talking, and Teng Yuyi casually glanced at them, all of which were light and soft materials such as moon flower brocade, bone yarn, and rain silk brocade, layered on top of each other, light as clouds, and the colors were bright colors such as lake blue, silver red, and peach.

Originally felt tired, as a result, Chun Velvet when she provoked the clothing to reveal a few luo skirts at the bottom, it was indeed eye-catching, Teng Yuyi came to be interested, sat down and picked up with great interest.

***

The next day, Teng Yuyi got dressed and went to the Chengwang Mansion with his aunt and sister. The pearls at the gate of the Chengwang Mansion were lined with marting, and the nobles’ carriages and horses almost blocked the entire street.

After getting off the bus, there were people from their own people who led them inside, the house was full of drums, everywhere was illuminated, Madame Du smiled and bowed: “People who want to come to Chang’an City with heads and faces have all come, look, there are Hu people over there, it is estimated that it is the prince of which country.” Teng Yu

thought in his heart, seeing this scene of the royal palace, tonight I don’t know how many rare treasures will be sent in, if it were not for greeting the Absolute Saint and Ren Zhi in advance, her purple jade saddle would not have been able to personally deliver it to Lin Chengyou’s hands.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

As a result, I searched in the crowd for half a day, and I didn’t see the absolute saint and the abandonment of wisdom, but I accidentally saw tonight’s birthday star Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou was surrounded by quanhao’s disciples, laughing through the vestibule, passing by to see Teng Yuyi, his eyes could not help but stay for a moment, taking into account that there were people on the left and right, and turned his head again.
