Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 149
[Chapter 114]
Liu Gonggong had been gone for half an hour, and Lin Chengyou was still sitting alone by the fish pond fishing.
Ah Zhi and Chang Yi originally wanted Lin Chengyou to play with them, but they made a fuss for a while in vain, but in the end they were coaxed and dragged to the palace by the QingXuzi Dao Commander Lian.
The QingXuzi Daoist Commander himself did not stay.
The prince also dodged away with interest.
There was a large court, and in the blink of an eye, only Lin Chengyou was left. The night wind whistled, unspeakable.
The empress asked people to come out to visit several times, but the palace maid and the eunuch were all light-handed, and the cautious look, as if they were afraid that they would attract Lin Chengyou’s attention, looked at it from a distance, and quietly retreated to the palace to inform the empress of the movements by the pool.
Lin Chengyou fished for half a fish, not only could he not hear half a human voice in his ears, but there was no half a shadow in front of him.
This was exactly what he wanted, and he urgently needed to be quiet now. This alone was not enough, he wished that the entire palace garden would disappear.
But no matter how quiet the surroundings were, his heart could not be quiet for a moment, and what was even more excessive was that he fished for half an hour, and the fishing rod remained motionless.
The fish in the pool seemed to sense something and collectively hid to the side.
Lin Chengyou casually sprinkled a handful of fish food, which was useless.
The group of fish not only did not take the bait, but also spat bubbles at him under the water. The string of bubbles reminded him of the string that Teng Yuyi spat out at him before he passed out underwater.
Lin Chengyou closed his eyes, very good, even the fish were making fun of him.
This fish was impossible to catch, he put down the fishing rod to get up, horizontally and vertically he couldn’t understand it, he planned to ask Teng Yuyi in person.
Some words could be relayed by others, some words had to be made clear to her face, and he had to listen to her in person what she really thought.
Just as he was about to get up, a man walked to the edge of the fish pond.
The man’s brocade robe was tattooed with beaded double fish patterns on the hem, the breeze blew through, the silver scales on the lines were bright and dark, and after only one stop, the man sat down next to Lin Chengyou.
King Chun’an Junwang picked up the fishing rod that Lin Chengyou had just put down, looked at the surface of the water and said softly, “Tonight I was drinking wine in the temple, why did I suddenly think of courting for myself?”
Lin Chengyou also looked at the pool and smiled, “It’s just a coincidence.” Tonight, the monarchs and courtiers are talking about the relatives of the sons of the clan, and it just so happens that the nephew has a sweetheart, so he will mention it in passing. King
Chun’an sighed and took something out of his arms and handed it to Lin Chengyou.
Lin Chengyou turned his head and looked at it, it was the Dancing Immortal Lamp.
“Since you openly asked to marry Lady Teng tonight, there is something that your uncle can also point out to you in person.” King Chun’an pointed to the wine cup, “This is the object of the Teng Mansion, and about five days ago, someone sent it to my mansion as a gift.”
Lin Chengyou’s face was pale, and he picked up the wine cup and slowly rubbed it.
“I asked people to check it, this dance immortal cup was carved by the court craftsman Wen Xianzhi at that time, there were only two sets in the world, one set was collected in the palace, and the other set of saints was rewarded to General Teng who was defeated in Tubo, this thing is too rare, so the first few days of investigation found General Teng’s head.”
After a pause, he added: “In addition to this set of imitation cups, my house has also received several gifts from TengFu, including handmade snacks, handmade shoes and socks, and handmade purses.” The dim sum paint box is exactly the same as the lacquer box that TengFu usually uses to give gifts, and the silk cloth wrapped in shoes and socks is also a unique makeup brocade of Tengfu, and the gift giver deliberately leaves various traces on the packaging, as if we can’t guess that these things are sent by Teng Niangzi. Because it was so remarkable, the steward in our house told me about it as early as the first gift. Lin Chengyou looked
at the wine cup in his hand, and his eyes were full of mockery: “This is clearly someone secretly discrediting Lady Teng.” Making shoes and socks to make purses is extremely painstaking, Teng Niangzi does not have this patience, she was busy taking refuge a while ago, and this time she studied in the academy all day, how can she take so much spare time?
Chun’an Junwang smiled slightly, “You’ve always been a little thorough.” At first I didn’t understand why someone would do this, because as long as the County King’s Mansion didn’t spread the word, Teng Niangzi’s reputation would not be damaged in the slightest, and it was obviously useless to use this matter to frame Teng Niangzi. It wasn’t until a while ago that the womb was everywhere outside the palace that you had a sweetheart, I roughly understood what the person wanted to do, I wanted to confirm this matter to you in person, but you were busy investigating the case all day and rarely saw a face, coincidentally, as soon as this rumor came out, the person began to give gifts more and more, just the snacks were sent a few times, and everything could almost be found on the head of tengfu, so obvious, just attached to the confession letter of Lady Teng, given the timing is very coincidental, the uncle began to guess that the purpose of this person may not be on me, but on you, This person not only wants me to misunderstand that the person who gave the gift is Lady Teng, but also wants you to think that the person that Lady Teng likes is an uncle.
Lin Chengyou nodded sarcastically: “Send such a conspicuous thing, but do not leave a name and surname, so that the uncle can not ask Teng Niangzi in person, this misunderstanding will always exist, if the uncle also happens to look at Teng Niangzi, there is this matter to do encouragement, sooner or later will take the initiative to ask for marriage, even if the uncle does not meet Teng Niangzi, after all, I often go to the county king’s mansion, the number of times, there will always be a day will bump into the ‘Teng Niangzi’ to give gifts to the uncle of a scene.” Maybe that person thought that as long as I misunderstood that Lady Teng’s crush was an uncle, I would dispel the idea of Lady Teng.
Last time I went back to that box of pear blossom cakes, didn’t that person almost succeed?
It’s just that the man has calculated everything, and he has not calculated that he has a problem – he likes to ask in person for everything.
Thinking of this, Lin Chengyou said clearly, “Did my uncle already see that I liked Lady Teng?” The gift-giving thing made you suspicious, but you didn’t want to damage Lady Teng’s reputation, nor did you want me to misunderstand her, tonight’s courtship in front of the imperial court was just to provoke me? King
Chun’an looked back at Lin Chengyou: “As early as the matter of you sending Teng Niangzi Red Flame Horse to Le Dao Mountain Villa, I knew your intentions for her, not only did I know this, I also suspected that you had seen the gift sent to the palace by ‘Teng Niangzi’, last time when the box of pear blossom cakes was delivered to the palace, I was suspicious, I wanted Liu Fu to check it out, how do I know that as soon as I turned my head, the lacquer box was gone, at that time, only you and Ah Qi were in my house, was the lacquer box taken away by you?”
Lin Chengyou smiled and admitted it.
“You.” Chun’an Junwang idly pulled up the fishing rod, “The person who gave the gift was very clever, a ring was put down, almost everyone was pinched, but uncle didn’t like to be used as a target, he wanted to come and go, to break this bureau, you have to come by yourself.” A while ago I saw your thoughts about Lady Teng, I thought that with your nature you would soon ask for a marriage, I didn’t expect that you had not moved, tonight I lied that I was interested in helping you to provoke, and that person’s plan was completely frustrated. Your courtship, Man Chang’an knows that the person you like is Lady Teng, and the two uncles and nephews can never rob the same woman, and in the future, if the person wants to pull me to play these tricks, it will seem superfluous.
Lin Chengyou sighed in his heart, if he liked another girl, maybe he would have courted a long time ago, but Teng Yuyi was different, she had not yet been born and was wrongly cursed, if she wanted to live past the age of sixteen, there was only one way to borrow her life.
It was hard to successfully borrow his life, but because of his special physique, he caused endless evil.
Thinking about what Happened to Teng Yuyi in the past few months, it is really not easy to survive.
After he guessed the truth, he was too late to feel sad, and because he knew that her heart was heavy, in order to help her save more merit, he did not show his heart to her for a long time.
Thinking about this, his mind was moved, and then again, as soon as Wu Qi’s case was broken, Teng Yuyi seemed to no longer be as defensive as before, and he was eager to take dozens of guards with him when he went out in the past, but only one Duanfu was brought with him when he went out several times recently.
After Wu Qi confessed his guilt in public last time, Teng Yuyi’s expression seemed to be like seeing an enemy who did not share the heavens. Later, when confronting Wu Qi in person in prison, Teng Yuyi’s gaffe could not be concealed.
This mystery has always been in his mind.
Overhearing uncle Huang said, “There is still a suspicious point in this matter, because I suspect that someone deliberately copied the things of the Teng Mansion, I once let people take things out to secretly inquire, asked all the workshops in Chang’an City that can make imitations, and said that they had not taken this kind of work in the past six months, and once checked, whether it was the lacquer box of the ‘TengFu’ or the dancing fairy cup, it was some years old, if it was sincerely imitated, it would be a few years ago.” This matter is very strange to say, since it is related to you and Lady Teng, it is better for you to check it out.
Lin Chengyou was interested in picking up the dancing fairy cup on the side of the robe: “What else is going on?” The mind is poisonous enough. Chun’an
Junwang: “Whether that person came for Lady Teng or for you, this bureau has been arranged for the first few years, and when you find out the truth, be sure to tell your uncle who that person is, and I also want to know what is going on.”
Lin Chengyou snorted, “Okay, just rush her even the emperor uncle to secretly calculate to come in, I have to let her eat and walk around.” King
Chun’an looked at Lin Chengyou and teased, “Are you planning to catch fish here for the night?” “No
more fishing.”
After saying these words to his uncle, Lin Chengyou’s eyebrows stretched a lot, clapped his hands and stood up, saying: “Will Uncle Huang go back to the palace?” Let’s go together.
After
the people in the palace left, Teng Yuyi turned over on the bed, turned over, and tossed for a long time before falling asleep.
Fortunately, the academy will not go to school tomorrow, and she can sleep peacefully.
Last time there was a matter of the Wu sisters, Vice President Liu was greatly shocked, saying that he as the dean failed to detect the student’s abnormality in time, and in a hurry, he had a heartache attack, and he did not see a good treatment for several days, and the affairs of the academy were busy, and the empress simply ordered ten days off in order to sympathize with Vice President Liu.
It is calculated that the school will not start until the next day.
She was sleeping heavily, and suddenly felt an itch at the end of her nose, and someone whispered in her ear: “Little lazy bug, get up quickly.”
Teng Yuyi frowned and put his head into the quilt: “Sister Ah don’t argue.” “There
are a number of fellow windows, are you going to leave them hanging out all the time?”
Teng Yuyi was drowsy: “Same window?
“Have you forgotten, on the night of Deng Shizhong’s birthday, everyone made an appointment to go to ci’en Temple to hold an early summer poetry meeting, and this day was still set by yourself, Deng Weili, Zheng Shuangyin, and Liu Siniang all came.”
When dressing up, Teng Yuyi could feel the kind gaze from Sister A from time to time.
Teng Yuyi naturally knew why Sister Ah was like this. Last night, Lin Chengyou’s marriage proposal in front of the imperial court was estimated to have spread throughout Chang’an.
She wanted to pretend to be fine, but she couldn’t stand being stared at by Sister A: “Sister?
Du Tinglan patiently continued to wait for his sister to dress up, and waited until his sister picked up the clothes, and then whispered, “How did Lin Chengyou suddenly ask for affection?” Teng Yuyi’s
face immediately turned red, but his mouth was indifferent: “I, how do I know?” “You
really won’t marry Lin Chengyou?”
Teng Yuyi’s eyes widened: “Why should I marry him?” “You don’t
like him at all?”
Teng Yuyi’s ears were hot, but his tone was cut to the point: “Of course.” He
said and walked toward the window with his head held high.
Du Tinglan smiled: “If you don’t like it, you don’t like it, what are you anxious about?” Teng Yuyi’s
footsteps paused slightly, how Sister Ah’s words sounded a bit like making fun of her, but she knew in her heart that it was a fact that she didn’t like Lin Chengyou now, and lo and behold, she didn’t hesitate at all when she refused to marry last night. For her, the benefactor is the benefactor, the friend is the friend, and if she wants to do the same for Lin Chengyou, she promises that there will be no different words, but she will not marry him.
There are few men in this world who are not half-hearted, and Lin Chengyou likes her today, maybe tomorrow he will like others.
Besides, he never said he liked her to his face.
So she didn’t regret refusing to marry, she didn’t regret it at all.
Sensing that Sister A was still watching herself, Teng Yuyi raised an eyebrow, intending to emphasize her intentions a few more times, and the maid under the porch said: “There are a lot of little ladies outside, and the ladies are going to go out to entertain guests.” The
sisters had to stop talking.
About a dozen of the same windows came from the middle hall, in addition to the leading Deng, Zheng, Liu Sanniang, as well as Chen Siniang, Li Huaigu and others.
The whole room is dazzling, Deng Weili is wearing a newly made summer dress, the usual smile is acceptable, Zheng Shuangyin is wearing a goose yellow silver silk skirt, the whole person is as bright as frost chrysanthemum, Liu Siniang and other people laugh continuously, looking happier than usual, in the same window, only Li Huaigu’s face is light, but he has also been dressed up, and the light lotus embroidered white butterfly skirt on his body is exceptionally beautiful, setting her off like a person in the painting.
“You’ve finally figured it out.” As soon as Deng Weili saw Teng Yuyi, he happily greeted him, “It’s only the beginning of the day, you don’t sleep more?” Teng Yuyi instructed his subordinates to hurry up and respectfully said, “The
same person who can sleep the most has gone out in person, do I dare to hide in the house again?”
Liu Siniang and Zheng Shuangyin smiled and took the two apart: “You two don’t fight again.” Let’s go, today is a good day, you can have a good day. Perhaps
knowing that Teng Yuyi would be embarrassed, no one took the initiative to mention lin Chengyou’s kissing.
When I arrived at the Ci’en Temple by the Qujiang Pool, there was already another group of people waiting at the same window.
The girls entered together, first enjoying flowers and poems in the temple, eating vegetarian food in the temple at noon, and then going to the theater outside the temple in the afternoon to enjoy the color of the river.
Today is Teng Yuyi to do the east, in order to let the same window have fun, let DuanFu and Chang Geng rent a few painting boats, the painting boat docked to the bank of the Qu River, there are many girls with the boat to go fishing poems, do not like to take the boat also have a place to go, the next people have set up a drapery on the shore to pave the mat, if the girls are tired, they can play on the mat.
After settling these, Teng Yuyi took Duan Fu to buy some food, because he had walked too far, and when he returned, the master and servant could only come from a remote path by the river.
When passing by a drapery, I heard a few of the same windows talking inside: “Why don’t you see Peng Da Niang and Peng Er Niang today?”
“Don’t mention it. Last time, Peng Erniang was almost framed by Lu Zhaoan’s villain, she was angry at the time, and she fell ill after hearing that she went back, and no matter which of the same window invited her, she never came out to play again. “What
about Lady Peng?” Didn’t she say the other day that she was going to come out and play with us?
“Huh? You don’t know yet? Teng Yuyi’s
ears stood up.
“Last night in front of the imperial court, General Peng Lao intended to be his grandsonThe woman and the Chengwang Shizi matched, never expected, the Chengwang Shizi not only rejected the matter on the spot, but also begged to marry Lady Teng in front of everyone, and the face of the Peng family was swept away, I guess Peng Da niang felt faceless because of this matter, so today she refused to go out.
Teng Yuyi also heard about this last night, and he felt strange at the time.
Peng Sishun has been shrewd and strong all his life, but is he old and confused when he is old?
As a courtier, it is not surprising that he sought favored relatives for his descendants, but with Peng Sishun’s old scheming nature, why didn’t he first explore the tone of the royal palace before asking for advice before the imperial court? There was no head and no brain to come out like this, not only did the Peng family touch a nose of ash up and down, but also made the granddaughter have no face.
This is not right.
The Peng family can have today, in addition to being brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, there is also an unusual acumen and calmness in the court.
Is it difficult for Peng Sishun to faint from illness? I don’t know if Peng Zhen is around, if Peng Zhen is there, he will definitely not let his old father make such a stupid mistake.
Thinking about it, Teng Yuyi felt a hint of coolness in the back of his neck.
Is it possible… Did the Peng family do this on purpose?
Last time, Lu Zhaoan and Wu Qi intended to plant Peng Erniang, although they were exposed by Lin Chengyou on the spot, the Peng family had a rebellious heart, and they would definitely think about it repeatedly after returning.
There were so many people at the table that night, lu Zhaoan behind the scenes of the main family did not plant stolen bystanders, but wanted to plant stolen Peng family’s children, pondering to the end, the Peng family may suspect that they have exposed their horse’s feet, afraid that the imperial court will take action in advance, so there is a series of moves behind.
After that, Peng Erniang said that she would no longer go to the academy because of her illness.
Coupled with this last night,even Peng Da Niang has a reason to “close the door”.
But whether it is the real “illness can not come out”, or quietly leave the capital, it is unknown.
Only by doing so could the Peng family’s female relatives be secretly sent back to Huaixi Province without a trace.
Teng Yuyi’s heart began to be uneasy, according to this, the Peng family was very likely to rebel in advance. Last night Lin Chengyou was also in the palace, with his keen heart, he must also be suspicious of the Performance of the Peng Family, but he could guess the Peng Family’s intentions so quickly because he already knew that the Peng Family wanted to rebel, did Lin Chengyou know that the Peng Family had a bad heart?
No, you have to quickly tell Grandpa and Lin Chengyou about this matter. The horizontal and vertical pens and paper are ready-made, and she will write an urgent letter later, asking Duan Fu to personally give it to Grandpa. As for Lin Chengyou’s place–
those people said, “Hey, speaking of this, do you know that Teng Yuyi rejected Cheng Wang Shizi last night?”
“I know.” Another said, “There were hundreds of courtiers in the palace last night, and word has long since spread.” In the morning, my aunt said that I don’t know how many people in Chang’an City want to marry the ChengwangFu, and the Chengwang Shizi is such a good talent, why didn’t Teng Yuyi agree. A
few people in the tent probably expected that no one would come to this remote corner, and they would speak unscrupulously.
“I don’t know about this, but out of this incident, Cheng Wang Shizi will definitely not ask to marry Lady Teng again.”
I overheard another person laughing and groaning, “Oh, why do you say that?” It was
Li Huaigu.
“Third Lady, you have only come to Chang’an, and it is no wonder that you do not know the temperament of King Cheng Shizi.” When King Shizi was young, he kicked the heavens and made a well, and when he grew up, he was also unruly. I heard that these children of the royal family were counted as the most beaten and beaten, although they were the most angry and the most likable, and the QingFuZi Daoist and the saints hurt him terribly. He played small things smoothly, and grew up in the golden jade Qiluo pile, how could such a person bear this? Unless he loves Lady Teng so much.
Several people ate and laughed, obviously in their opinion, this was impossible.
“Yes, the women of Chang’an are like clouds, and Cheng Wang Shizi has not seen Lady Teng several times, and it is expected that it will be a whim, and there will never be the following.”
Li Huaigu seemed to be in a very happy mood, laughing: “Oh, let’s not talk about this, you look at this poem written by Lady Zheng, it is really beautiful and elegant, don’t blame her for being famous.” Teng Yuyi
snorted in his heart and walked forward with his head held high.
After a while, a high stage was set up in front of the Moon Lantern Pavilion, and several eagle-nosed harrier-eyed Hu people jumped to the heights to perform tricks, and the tricks were colorful and wrong, which amazed everyone, and the girls came out of the tents to see the hilarity.
Teng Yuyi pulled Sister Ah and Deng Weili to watch closely, when someone behind them suddenly said, “Lady Teng.”
Teng Yuyi turned back happily, winning and abandoning wisdom.
“Captain Xiaodao, how did you get here?”
The face of absolute saint and renunciation was full of beads of sweat, and he was also very happy to see Teng Yuyi, wiping the sweat and saying, “You can count on finding Lady Teng.” We went to TengFu to look for Lady Teng, cheng Bo said you came to the vicinity of Ci’en Temple, I didn’t expect that there were so many people by the Quchi today, and I almost didn’t find Lady Teng.
Teng Yuyi pulled them aside: “Is there anything wrong with me?” All
around were Teng Yuyi’s fellow windows.
Everyone was a little surprised to see the little Daoist priest of Qingyun Guan looking for Teng Yuyi.
The Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom said solemnly, “There is an urgent matter. Lady Teng, you come with us.
Teng Yuyi had no choice but to say to Du Tinglan, “I’ll come when I go.” With
the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom go to the other side. Duan Fu was busy and silent to keep up.
Ren Zhi walked to the left of Teng Yuyi, and absolute saint walked to the right of Teng Yuyi.
Ren Zhi took a few steps, and as soon as he turned around unintentionally, he saw a little lady in the crowd staring at this side, her face was not very good, and her eyes were also very cold.
Renzhi recognized the man and knew that her name was Li Sanniang, but Li Sanniang’s strange expression only lasted for a moment, and he rushed to Renzhi and revealed a quiet smile.
Absolute Saint and Abandoning Wisdom led Teng Yuyi’s master and servant to the shore, instructed the boatman to sail the boat, rowed to the dock on the opposite shore, went ashore and walked around in seven corners and eight corners for an unknown amount of time, and when they reached a quiet flower wall, Absolute Saint and Abandoned Wisdom said, “Brother Master, Lady Teng is coming.” Teng Yuyi’s heartbeat inexplicably accelerated
, and in the next instant, he saw Lin Chengyou come out from behind the wall, Lin Chengyou glanced up and down at Teng Yuyi, dragging her backwards: “Ask you a few words.”
Absolute Saint and Ren Zhi threw out their tongues with red faces, leading Duan Fu far away.
Teng Yuyi let Lin Chengyou drag himself, but his mouth said: “If Shizi wants to question me about last night’s incident, I still want to ask Shizi, who has no head and no brain, why did Shizi suddenly ask for relatives in front of the imperial court?”
Lin Chengyou paused and turned his head to look at her: “Why do you say that?”
Teng Yuyi sighed and turned his head to the side: “If it is because of yesterday’s incident in the water, Shizi does not have to do this.” I knew that Setsuko was there to save me, and I wouldn’t take it to heart. Lin Chengyou’s
face was hot, but a little smile appeared in his eyes, staring at Teng YuyiHalfway through, he suddenly said, “You think I suddenly asked to marry you because of this?” “Or
else?” Teng Yuyi zhenzhen has words.
Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows: “What if I say no?” The
author has something to say: Ada: Rush.
