Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 127
Qing Wang thought of Aunt Shun and sighed.
Helian smiled casually and said: “Father does not need to mention these sad things, and my daughter also prepared some snacks to be sent to his father to taste.” After speaking, she took the food box from the handmaid next to her. , Open gently, and there are plates of Ruyi Cake, Lily Lotus Seed, Jujube Mud Cake and other exquisite snacks.
King Qing took a closer look and found that others were also common. Only a raisin with fresh walnuts was made by putting the seedless raisins in the walnuts and topping them with freshly ground grape juice. It smelled tangy.
Helian smiled very meekly and considerately: “I soaked the grapes with honey first, then broke the fresh walnuts, and peeled off the colored tender skin inside. Then I put the grapes in and poured the juice on, the taste was very good. Father taste it.”
King Qing nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face: “You really have a heart.”
Helian smiled with a smile in his eyes: “This is the filial piety my daughter should do.”
In fact, Helian smiled smartly, with sweet mouth and handy hands. Qing Wang always liked her very much. In addition, she is exquisite in her work, meets temples and burns incense, and treats everyone with a compassionate and friendly appearance, which is especially popular with bloggers. But recently, Pian Pian often said in front of King Qing that Princess Danfeng’s was not, and over time, King Qing alienated her. Seeing her so kindly pressing today, thinking about what she owes to her mother, there was a little nostalgia in her heart, and her tone was softer: “Don’t worry, you are so obedient and sensible, and your father will not treat you badly. III. With regard to your Highness, my father will find another way for you. Even if this marriage fails, he will not leave you withered.”
Speaking of the four characters in Ku’s old home, Helian smiled and trembled. She suddenly remembered that King Qing had a little sister back then, she was considered her aunt. Regarding identity and status, they are all golden branches and leaves. It is said that the old empress also liked her very much and named her the lord of Rongmin, which was the highest rank among the lord. The royal family has always had the habit of referring to marriage, and the old lady loves to be nosy, so she referred the lord of Rongmin to the Nanshi Princess of Ning Palace. The appearance of a man with a talent and a good family, but unfortunately the good times didn’t last long. Before the princess was married, the princess fell ill and died. Princess Rongmin is considered a widow at the gate and has no children. The old lady pityed her very much and often took her into the palace to avoid her loneliness.
This Princess Rongmin, He Lianxiao has seen him, tall and thin, although he is not top-notch in appearance, but he is also beautiful in style and good in temperament. Because she is a widow, she never wears gorgeous clothes. She always wears a face and looks even more dignified. It’s a pity that this aunt’s marriage was not going well, and her heart was overwhelmed. Later, the literati who did not know any good things satirized her again and wrote the limericks on the back door of the Qing Dynasty Mansion, saying that if she is really loyal to her fiance, she should follow the underground as soon as possible and stir up waves with one stone. Rong Min immediately Get sick with anger. She hid in her room day and night, just holding her pillow and crying bitterly, no matter how persuaded by others, she would not go out until death. King Qing pityed his sister at the time, so he persuaded him in every possible way, and he was still taking turns to look after him. Unexpectedly, she never looked up to others anymore and could not go out behind closed doors. A person who didn’t see the sky all day long, coupled with the full of anxiety and anger, soon died. When he died, his face was withered, and his eyes seemed to come out of his socket, describing it as terrible. Helian smiled and trembled as soon as he thought of it. It is easier for folk women to remarry. The more noble the status, the more criticized. The beloved aunt who lost her fiancé was about to be forced to death, and she was abandoned by others, who would still come to propose, if she wanted to marry thousands of miles away, she might as well die immediately!
Don’t look at what King Qing is saying now, why choose a good son-in-law, except for the three princes, who is worthy of her. She is to be a royal daughter-in-law, so she must not be entrapped by Jiang Xiaolou. Thinking of this, Helian smiled deeper. “What his father said is that his daughter will no longer take these annoying things into her mind, and will definitely get along well with everyone in the family.”
King Qing nodded his head with satisfaction, but he heard Helian laugh again: “The sweet plums that my father planted by himself are in full bloom today. Let my daughter accompany my father to the garden for a walk.”
Listening to her saying this, King Qing couldn’t bear to touch her. He intends to solve Helianxiao well, so he deliberately introduces some happy topics to say, Helianxiao is also pleasing in every way, without showing any signs of it. The two said as they walked, the atmosphere was also harmonious. Not long after, King Qing suddenly saw a figure lying on the side of a small pond not far away. He frowned and said, “That’s…”
Helian smiled and glanced at him, only a faint smile: “Father, that’s the son of the world.”
King Qing nodded, his eyes darkened by three minutes, but he couldn’t hide the disgust in his eyes: “How old are you, why are you still like a child?” He said that, his expression becoming colder and colder.
Helian smiled the other person’s expression in his eyes, but his face remained calm: “Father, don’t worry, Xu Shishi is still young, and he will be sensible in two years.”
“In another two years, how old I will be! If your eldest brother is not a concubine, you can justifiably become a son of the world, why bother me so much!” King Qing said unconsciously, but he did not expect that it was this unconscious word. Let the original aunt Shun and the two concubine sons believe it. Over the years, fighting and fighting each other, the real key is that King Qing failed to correct his mentality. If he had decided on the position of the son of the world early in the morning, and would not change, where would there be so many demons?
Helian laughed with hatred in his heart, but his tone was extremely surprised: “Father, isn’t that Jiang Xiaolou?”
King Qing followed her gaze and saw Jiang Xiaolou sitting in the pavilion smilingly, accompanied by a small servant. King Qing couldn’t help but frown, and said: “Mingyue Princess and the son are very close.”
Helian laughed as if he hadn’t realized the disgust rising in the other’s heart, and the tone was light from beginning to end: “Mingyue Princess has always cared for the son, and there is always an hour every day to play and joke with the son, so the feelings between them… It’s much better than Shizi and my sister.”
Listening to Helianxiao’s words, King Qing did not pay special attention. Jiang Xiaolou is the righteous daughter of Princess Qing, and nominally the elder sister of the elder son. The two of them are so close, it is not necessarily the princess’s instruction. Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, then turned his head and said: “It’s not early, you can go back soon. Your father will take care of your affairs and don’t worry too much.”
Helian laughed only quietly in response: “Yes.” Then, she stood there, watching King Qing leave.
A cold wind blew, and she stared at Jiang Xiaolou quietly, her eyes filled with a contented coldness, the smile on her lips slowly opened, and she turned and left.
Jiang Xiaolou likes Qing Wang Shizi very much, because this is a simple and cute boy, it seems that it is not easy to have troubles with him. He Lianyue was also very close to her. After the initial resistance and fear, he gradually discovered that Jiang Xiaolou was sincerely caring. He always tried every means to bring him closer to Princess Qing, even at the expense of teaching him by himself. Knowing that he likes painting, he sent the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone; knowing that he likes animals, he sent him a puppy specially. He hung a string of small golden bells around the dog’s neck, and dinged and dinged as he ran, and he became more and more cheerful. He vaguely felt that she didn’t criticize herself for being playful and hopeless like others. On the contrary, she knows how to entertain and talk to herself. Everyone in the house, including his biological mother, looked at him with strange eyes, as if he were some monster, except Jiang Xiaolou was exceptionally different.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaolou was watching Helianyue playing, but Xiaodie next to him reminded: “Miss, just saw the servant girl…”
“See what?”
“The slave maid saw King Qing and Princess Danfeng standing under the corridor over there. They didn’t know what they said, and looked a little strange.”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled disapprovingly: “It seems that Helianxiao has already figured out how to deal with me.”
Xiaodie vaguely felt that Helian’s eyes looked very wrong, and she was a little disturbed: “Miss, you should be more careful, Princess Danfeng hates you!”
Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyes, He Lianxiao had already left as far as his eyes could reach. She indifferently watched that slender figure disappear in the depths of the overlapping corridors, and she had a clear understanding in her heart. He Lianxiao was taken away from the marriage, so he was not angry and counted all the accounts on his own head. But she didn’t really think about it, if Wushun’s aunt and Anhua Junwang had done something wrong, what would have happened.
Seeing Jiang Xiaolou’s complex expression, Xiaodie said: “Miss, do you want a servant to send someone to stare at them?”
Jiang Xiaolou shook his head lightly, but changed his tone of voice: “How is Mrs. Jiang’s place recently?”
Fluttershy thought for a while and lowered her voice: “Ms. Jiang has been pregnant recently, but she doesn’t often wait with the prince. The prince doesn’t have a new favorite. She just stays with Mrs. Jiang every day, and she loves her very much.”
Jiang Xiaolou showed a thoughtful look. At this time, He Lianyue happened to run over from a distance, raised the furry puppy in his hand, and said to Jiang Xiaolou: “Look!”
Jiang Xiaolou saw his muddy face, but his eyes were shiny, and his robe was curled and wrinkled. He couldn’t help but sneered: “If the world is so naughty, I’m afraid the princess will see you and will blame you again.”
Helianyue laughed slyly, his beautiful appearance and thin body made him look more like an ignorant child. Jiang Xiaolou looked at him and sighed deeply in his heart. Such innocence can be preserved in the Qing Palace, only because the elder son did not hinder him. Those people are sure that they will eventually get the seat of the elder son, and they can’t murder a fool. But now it seems that the situation is precarious, and they are afraid that they will jump the wall in a hurry to attack the world. She knows this very well in her heart, so she has been with He Lianyue from time to time recently, observing the people and things around him, for fear that someone might make wrong ideas about He Lianyue. Originally, she was going to let Chu Han stare at him, but Chu Han was only worried about her safety and insisted on not going elsewhere to wait. She had to tell the people around Helianyue to pay more attention.
After returning from the garden, King Qing came to Jiang Pianpian’s place, and just walked into the bedroom, only to feel a faint fragrance straight into his lungs, but when he smelled it carefully, it was vaguely and seemingly nonexistent. Jiang Pianpian was sitting in the dark, playing with a piece of black ink with her head down. King Qing walked to her, she heard the footsteps, raised her head and smiled: “Master, this ink is really good, smooth and moist, with a fragrant smell.” As she spoke, her smiling face was full, her eyes gleaming, full of joy.
Jiang Pianpian became a little plump after pregnancy. At this moment, she was wearing a goose yellow dress with a golden hairpin in her hair bun, and her moist brows glowed slightly under the candlelight. King Qing’s smile became deeper and his expression more gentle: “Knowing that you like these, I sent it here for you to play with. But now you are heavy, so don’t fiddle with your pen and ink when you are fine, and be careful about your body.”
“Yes.” Pian Pian stood up tenderly with a full face, and instructed Caixia to say, “Come on for the cloud tea that I just served this year.”
King Qing stayed with Jiang Pianpian until the night was getting deeper, and Pianpian was about to order Caixia to make the bed, but King Qing stopped by waving his hand: “No, I have to go back to the study.”
Pian Pian quickly asked, “Master, aren’t you here to rest today?”
King Qing rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said, “Your Majesty will take care of one thing with me. I have to rush back to the study later. I’m afraid there will be at least two more days when I come back. You are inconvenient, so you don’t need to get up and wait. Just stay in the study for one night.”
Listening to what King Qing said, Pianpian smiled and said: “I should take care of the prince’s diet and daily life, but now I am cumbersome and inconvenient, Caixia, you brought a lantern to illuminate the prince.”
There are no people around Qing King, but this is Jiang Pianpian’s gentleness and thoughtfulness. He presses the posts in his heart, and smiles on his face: “Pianpian still loves this king.” Then, he put on a big fashion and walked. Got out.
Jiang Pianpian turned her head and whispered: “Let me see if the study room is clean.”
Caixia lowered her eyebrows and replied pleasingly: “Yes.”
Jiang Pianpian was born in a humble background, all relying on King Qing’s body, for fear that someone would be pampered when she was negligent, and staring at King Qing in every possible way, the reason why Caixia was asked to send King Qing to the study instead of herself was an extra eyeliner, Qing Wang may not know this, but he pretends to be ignorant in order to calm her heart.
In the middle of the night, it was quiet everywhere, except for the rustling insects in the grass, which became more and more empty. King Qing went all the way through the garden, only to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms directly on his face. The rich smell made people involuntarily refreshed. He was in a good mood and walked all the way through the cobblestone path in the garden towards the study. Caixia conscientiously carried the lantern and walked in front of her left, intentionally or unconsciously leading Qing Wang. King Qing suddenly heard something behind the rockery, he stopped and listened. Caixia was about to ask, but was stopped by Qing Wang’s wave. His face became more and more gloomy, he moved his steps, and looked over from behind the rockery, only to see a pair of young men and women hugging each other. At first thought it was the guard who had an affair with the maidservant, she became extremely angry for a while, and shouted sharply, “What are you doing?”
Caixia Xu was startled by King Qing’s roar, and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground all at once, and the flame was instantly blown out by the cold wind. The pair of mandarin ducks was immediately alarmed, panicked and rushed out.
King Qing stomped his foot and said angrily: “Quick, let someone catch them!”
The moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and everywhere was dark. The guards who hurriedly heard the news searched for a long time, but only found a jade pendant in the grass and came up to King Qing. King Qing ordered the people to light the candle again, staring at the jade pendant carefully for a while, his complexion changed slightly. Without waiting for other people’s words, he already put the jade pendant into his sleeves, and said loudly: “Steward, there is no room for such nasty things in the palace, you must strictly investigate and find these two people out!”
The housekeeper hurriedly responded. He originally wanted to ask the prince to hand over the evidence to him for investigation, but saw that King Qing had left in a hurry.
Just after entering the study, King Qing suddenly turned around and stared at Caixia and said, “Did you see the faces of those two people just now?”
“Slaves, slaves… didn’t see anything.” Caixia seemed to be terrified, lying on the ground shivering.
If you don’t see it, you will be so surprised that the lanterns will fall on the ground. King Qing became angry, kicked her in the heart, and said sharply: “Say, to be honest!”
Caixia got a kick in her heart, her face turned pale with instant pain, the big beads of sweat on her forehead rolled down, and finally she mustered the courage to say: “The prince calms down! Just now the servant girl saw…I saw the bright moon… Oh no, the servant girl really I didn’t see anything… The prince calmed down his anger, the servant girl really didn’t dare to talk nonsense, and asked the prince to spare the servant a life!”
When King Qing heard the word Mingyue, he took a breath of cold air, his face getting more and more ugly, and narrowed his eyes to stare at Caixia, which was obviously murderous.
Caixia shuddered and squashed her head again and again, her voice terrified: “Master, it’s already dark. Maybe it’s a guard and a girl who doesn’t have long eyes. Please don’t be angry, be careful of hurting your body!”
King Qing looked at Caixia, this girl with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and a slim figure. In the past, when Jiang Pianpian was uncomfortable, she served in the room, but she was also an informed, interesting, cautious person. He sighed slowly and said: “Yes, I will find out which guard is not long-eyed, and break him into pieces! Get out!”
Caixia crawled out of the study room, and when she escaped from the dark cloud of Thunder King Qing’s anger, she suddenly stopped her steps and turned to look at the study room. Only the shadow of King Qing was reflected on the window panes, pacing constantly. The pace is obviously anger to the extreme. She breathed out secretly, and finally a sneer rose slowly around her lips.
King Qing stayed up all night and finally survived the long night. The dark clouds covering the moon have completely dispersed, and it is another sunny winter day. The brilliant sun fell on King Qing’s face, but a faint haze was cast. Helianxiao had just entered the study, only to find that the other party was sitting on the chair and sighing and sighing, his face covered with clouds.
Helian smiled and couldn’t help but narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his lips with satisfaction, but before a while, he changed a concerned face: “Father, how sad?”
King Qing’s voice was rarely acrimonious: “How can I be happy?!” When he said this, he suddenly checked his mistakes, and then stopped immediately. It took a long time to calm down and ask: “What’s the matter today?”
“The daughter just boiled the soup and brought it to her father. Since you are in a bad mood, she must not disturb her, so she must leave first.” Helian smiled as if he was a little at a loss, and said softly after all, with a filial and virtuous appearance. .
King Qing’s anger had been held in his heart since last night, but because of the embarrassment, it was really difficult to express it. After thinking about it, he tentatively asked, “Is Mingyue and Shizi’s relationship always very good?”
Helian gave a startled smile, immediately revealing a little unspeakable appearance, hesitating and hesitating, but said nothing.
“I’m asking you something, dumb?” A deeper suspicion vaguely passed through Wang Qing’s heart, and he couldn’t help raising his voice.
Helian laughed, and his face was immediately uneasy. When every word was uttered, he was timid: “The daughter has an important matter and has always wanted to report it to her father. Unfortunately, this matter is unusual and involved. Too many people, their daughters dare not talk nonsense, but ask the father to tell right from wrong.”
King Qing turned his eyebrows toward her, with a premonition in his heart, and his tone became more severe: “What the hell, don’t hesitate!”
Helian smiled his lips, his fine eyelashes trembling slightly, and his voice seemed to be trembling a little: “My daughter went to visit Shizi three days ago, but found that Princess Mingyue was also there, and also dispelled the girl servants inside and out. Two people alone…”
King Qing immediately sat upright, his whole body tense: “Jiang Xiaolou is also here, what are they doing? You saw it with your own eyes!”
Helian smiled with a blush on his face, and he became more and more unable to speak: “My daughter saw them pulling and pulling, describing it as very close. It’s just that this matter is important, and my daughter dare not talk nonsense for fear of spreading… The honour of Princess Mingyue.”
Qing Wang’s eyebrows suddenly became cold: “Qingyu? She dared to do such a shameless thing, what kind of reputation is there!” After saying that he stood up and walked around the room, his anger was once again I felt like I was immersed in boiling water. I was embarrassed and angry. After all, I couldn’t help but gritted my teeth and said, “It’s all the princesses, it’s not good to lead the wolf into the house! That little **** was born by a small family, and there is no rule. , To do such a thing, it is really mad at me!”
He was so angry that he didn’t know what to do. He pulled out the long sword hung on the wall and slashed it violently. The original solid yellow rosewood desk was missing a corner.
“So ruining the palace atmosphere, I might as well kill her directly to avoid future troubles!” He gritted his teeth, full of hostility between his eyebrows, and walked out with the sword in his hand. Helianxiao sneered in her heart, a trace of triumphant pride raised from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, but hurriedly went up to stop King Qing, hugged his arm tightly, and her voice was hurried: “Father, there is no misunderstanding… …”
“It’s not just you who saw it, but I also saw it, so what else can you misunderstand!”
Helian smiled with a look of surprise: “Father, did you see it too? Ah, you were so angry just now. Is it because of this?”
King Qing was just so angry that he would lift his sword and go out. He was stopped by a smile at this moment. His head became sober immediately. He coldly said: “When I went back to the study last night, I happened to ran into a tryst with them in the garden. Although I didn’t see the face, I picked up Yue’er’s Panlong jade pendant!”
The other party turned her back to her, and the rockery was very dark again, and she couldn’t see his appearance at all, but she vaguely saw the young man in the prince’s brocade suit, and Caixia clearly saw Jiang Xiaolou’s face in panic, and the guards were in the grass again. I found the Panlong jade pendant, isn’t the matter already revealed! In the daytime, the two are so close, but at night they come to do such shameless deeds. Is it true that the palace is dead?
“Oh, it’s really unexpected. In the past, it was often said that Princess Mingyue would go out for a walk in the middle of the night, and also ran into the son… It turned out that they met by chance on purpose. It is really shameful…” Helian smiled with regret, but quietly took it away. After the long sword in King Qing’s hand, the moment he touched the hilt, he felt cold in his hand. She slowly put the sword on the desk, and then reminded, “Father, I know you are unbearable, but you must not be so reckless. Princess Mingyue is about to become the third prince. , If something goes wrong at this time, I am afraid it will bring great hidden dangers to our mansion.”
This is true. If this matter spreads out, Qing Palace will become the laughing stock of the whole world. Qing Wang Tieqing had a face and opened his mouth as if he was about to speak, but he couldn’t say it in one breath. But my heart was cursing again and again, and I wished that Jiang Xiaolou’s body would be broken into thousands of pieces at once, so that I could relieve my hatred.
Helian laughed knowing that he had achieved his goal, but his face was calm and clear: “Father, no matter what, this matter is very important, and you must not spread it.”
King Qing sighed and his face was dispirited: “Once it spreads out, my family’s reputation for a hundred years will be ruined. The matter of your second brother hasn’t calmed down before, but now this kind of pickled things happened again. It’s sigh, hateful, and it’s the princess’ fault me!”
When King Qing arrived at a critical moment, he would lay the account on Princess Qing, after all, Jiang Xiaolou was the other’s righteous daughter. If it were not for the princess’s favor, Jiang Xiaolou would not enter the palace. Now the emperor’s decree for marriage will come down in just three or two days. After all, the paper cannot contain the fire. It was originally thought to be a great opportunity for marriage, but now it has become a hot potato. King Qing is consciously very troublesome and pretends not to know this. , Listen to Jiang Xiaolou’s marriage, I am afraid that disaster will be imminent soon…
Helian looked at the other’s face with a calm smile, and tentatively said: “Father, I should have avoided suspicion, lest others think I am jealous of Jiang Xiaolou. But it is about the reputation of our palace, I have to ask more, this Is there any leeway in the marriage? If you marry such a woman, your Highness the Three Princes will be really unimaginable…”
If Jiang Xiaolou really has an affair with Helianyue, it is of course not complete. Then the three princes will be furious. If it is found out that the person who has fornicated with her is the son of the Qing Dynasty, this is tantamount to chaos-Qing Wang’s face is getting worse. Feeling cold, he thought of the three princes knowing the truth, but felt a stray wind behind him, making his hair stand upright. I was very anxious, but couldn’t spread the matter out. I couldn’t restrain my anger for a long time. For a while, he broke away from the hand of Helian laughed, and when he saw some precious antique, he fell to pieces.
The sound of broken porcelain in the study continued, but the maidservants looked at each other. I don’t know what kind of fire King Qing was up to, and why even the most beloved babies were broken.
In the ruins, King Qing sat down on a chair, gritted his teeth and said coldly: “The first one to deal with is Yue’er. I have to tie him up and beat him to death!”
Helian laughed and sighed and said: “Father, the son is young and ignorant by nature. After being seduced by such shameless women and doing something wrong, his father should also be considerate. Even if his father wants to punish him, he should be first. The culprit is dealt with.”
Qing Wang thought about it, and felt that Helian smiled and said more and more. He pondered for a moment before he said: “After all, she is the princess proclaimed by the empress, and there are martial arts guards by her side. If you want to deal with it in secret, I am afraid it will not be easy.”
Ordinary boudoir daughters are easy to clean up, but Jiang Xiaolou’s daily diet is not artificial, and the courtyard is tightly guarded, not to mention that Chuhan flies over the wall and has extremely high martial arts, and there is nowhere to start.
Helian smiled slightly, and said faintly: “Father, if she is allowed to continue like this, it will ruin the family style of the Qing Palace, and will only completely destroy the father’s wise life. It is better for my father to make a decision early. The author said that all people have weaknesses. As long as you grasp her weaknesses, are you afraid that she will not be obedient to die?”
The more King Qing thought about it, the more doubtful he became. He glared at Helian and smiled: “Then what can you do?”
Helian let out a sigh of relief: “It’s definitely not possible to know it clearly. My mother has been protecting Jiang Xiaolou. When she is like a darling, no one can accuse me. Once there are branches, the news will reach the ears of His Highness. I’m afraid it will be more troublesome then. If it comes in secret, this Jiang Xiaolou is a very insidious person and it is not easy to do it.”
“It doesn’t work if it’s open, and it doesn’t work in the dark, so what should I do?” In fact, Wang Qing said that the only way is to quietly dispose of this Jiang Xiaolou. As long as she doesn’t know what she’s doing, and it is said that she died suddenly, the third prince will naturally choose another good match.
Helian smiled and said quietly: “This Jiang Xiaolou is cautious and thorough, and the maidservant beside her is not leaking. It is not easy to attack her. But although she is guarding me, she has never suspected her father, so If you make a move, you will succeed—”
“You mean…”
Helian smiled with deep eyes, but his tone was slightly hesitant and disturbed: “Daughter is a boudoir girl. Some things are too cruel. The daughter can’t say it so as to prevent the father from thinking that the daughter is deliberately killing her.”
“Okay, don’t pretend to be in front of me! If Jiang Xiaolou is dead, there is no hope for this marriage. Father will not blame you, and honestly say everything in his heart.” Of course Wang Qing knows Helian Laughing has ulterior motives, but he saw what happened last night with his own eyes. Yu Pei is still in his sleeve. The pair of wild mandarin ducks has long been nailed down, and he must borrow Helian Xiao’s idea to get rid of this cancer! “Quickly, how do I start?”
“Father, my daughter heard that Jiang Xiaolou was looking for King Thrush to give it to the Empress Empress. This is a rare bird and it is not easy to find. Why not…”
One evening seven days later, Princess Qing and Jiang Xiaolou were drinking tea. With a smile on Fluttershy’s faces, she saluted the two of them: “Miss, the shopkeeper Liao sent a pair of thrushes, saying it was a special gift. For you to enjoy.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “Send in.”
As soon as Fluttershy clapped her hands, a commoner girl came in carrying a birdcage. The girl is not tall, not fat or thin, with beautiful eyebrows, but she has naturally honey-colored skin, and her eyes are very smart. The bird cage in her hand is made of bamboo, with dark blue blocking cloth and a white base. On the side of the cage is a very delicate wooden shovel, which is two to three inches long. The girl took off the cloth, revealing a pair of birds inside. The commonly seen thrushes are tan, only the eye circles are white, and the upper part of the eyebrows extends back to form a narrow line like eyebrow lines, so they are called thrushes. The two thrushes in front of them are all snow white, with light brown buns of different shades on their wings. They are clearly the legendary king of thrushes.
“Sure enough, it is an auspicious bird.” Princess Qing couldn’t help but smile. “The King Thrush is extremely difficult to find. It is a sign of auspiciousness. You really took great pains—”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly. Others only knew that she was favored by the queen, but they didn’t know how much she had spent to find her beloved. She took the initiative to step forward and carefully looked at the pair of thrushes. At this moment, the one on the left suddenly began to sing, with a delicate voice and a smooth voice.
Princess Qing was very happy for a while, and she circled the birdcage for a half time, and couldn’t help but smile: “As expected of the king of thrush, he is bigger than the average thrush, and the feathers are white and smooth, and they look like shiny silver. It is a rare treasure. . Are these thrushes all male?”
The girl smiled shyly and said: “Return to the princess, don’t keep two male birds in the same cage, otherwise they will fight each other and die, so this pair is one male and one female.”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said: “There is a cloud in “The Sutra of Thrush”. Baiyu Thrush is the king of birds. Not only does it sound softly, it can also imitate human and animal language. It is very human, but it is a strange bird that can not be met. I have been searching secretly for several months, but I only asked someone to find it.”
Princess Qing nodded again and again, but listened for a while, wondering: “Why do you only listen to one call?” As she said, she subconsciously reached out and raised another silent white thrush.
The girl hurriedly stopped and said, “My father is a bird lover. These two thrush kings are one male and one male, and they fly together. He captured them on the mountain. They are wild and they often bump into the cage from time to time. My father is afraid of accidents. Son, I ordered me to bring it personally. The princess should not come near, lest they will be shocked.”
Princess Qing retracted her hand, but couldn’t help but said, “So, are the birds not trained yet? What if they are sent to the palace and hurt the mother?”
Jiang Xiaolou’s gaze fell on the girl, and he said softly: “Mother, since the shopkeeper Liao has sent this girl, he has already planned it.”
“Yes, I…no, the slaves grew up in the mountains, accompanied by birds and beasts, especially the thrush habit. The white thrush is used to the mountains and the **** is strong, so father asked the slaves to train well. Train these two birds before sending them to the palace.” The girl bowed and said with her eyes shining.
Thrush grows in the mountains for a long time. If you need artificial breeding and training, you must ask people with experience and perseverance to stick to it for a long time. Since the pair of thrush kings are to be sent to the palace for the queen to enjoy, they must be trained to hold and sing. If they can’t hold their hands and sing, but can only sing, they are not qualified at all. one’s gift.
Princess Qing smiled and said: “The tenth day of the new year is the Queen’s birthday. This pair of thrushes is the best gift. You have to take care of it.”
“Mother don’t worry, my daughter understands.”
Jiang Xiaolou returned to his yard with the girl who was specially responsible for training thrushes. Xiaodie stared at the girl curiously and said, “What is your name?”
The girl grinned and said: “The servant is called Ye Ci, you can call me a little word.”
“Okay, I’ll leave these king thrushes to you in the future!” Xiaodie looked at the bird cage with joy, and said, “Miss, I heard that thrushes can talk. The slave and maid will teach it to speak with the little words. .”
Jiang Xiaolou glanced at the small words, and a smile appeared on his face: “Okay, if you teach well, I will definitely reward it.”
Fluttershy is not just talking about it. Starting from this day, he has been teaching this pair of thrushes to say auspicious words all day long.
Fluttershy and Xiaoci have been circling the birdcage all day long. One of the white thrushes often raises its voice, and its voice is loud and melodious, overwhelming the singing of all the birds in the Qing Palace. Under the unremitting efforts of the two of them, there were often soft calls in the corridor.
“Girl, the guest is here”, “Gong Xi Fa Cai”, “Please sit down”, “Send off the guest”!
Occasionally, Fluttershy also teaches Thrush to write a few lines of poems on the back of the bird, but the introduction does not include the following words, and it sounds more funny.
What makes people worry is that only one of the thrushes opened their voices, while the other was silent all day long, neither singing nor speaking. Fluttershy and Xiaoci did their best. It Still arrogantly bumping into the cage, without even looking at them.
There were thrushes, parrots, and canaries in the palace, but no one was better than the pair of thrush kings in Jiang Xiaolou. The whole palace became curious, and many people quietly watched it several times. The more people watch, the more irritated Fluttershy, forcing the other bird all day long, to let it speak. It’s a pity that no matter how she persecutes, this bird just doesn’t speak apart from eating, making Fluttershy anxious and yelling at one time. She had to use a shovel to shovel it, but the other party was very flexible, Xiaodie. Not only could Die couldn’t shovel, but he was pecked somehow, causing Ye Ci to grin and laugh.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at this scene and laughed. Thrush is cute, Ye Ci is innocent and very cute.
Xiaodie was furious, and turned to Jiang Xiaolou: “Miss, look, they are all white thrushes, why is one so clever, but the other can’t even speak?!”
Jiang Xiaolou thought: “Maybe this one is born dumb.”
“What kind of dumb, as long as you have a tongue, you can scream! I really don’t know how to sing. It’s okay to scream!” Xiaodie was puzzled, and Ye Ci stretched out his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
Jiang Xiaolou only smiled when he heard the words, turning a page of the book in his hand, but asked: “Don’t just look at the birds, are you ready for the painting you prepared last time?”
Fluttershy was taken aback, and the small shovel in his hand shook, and said quickly: “Ready, miss.”
Jiang Xiaolou collected the book slowly and said: “Then you immediately post to Anjia for me, and say that I will invite Miss An to come to enjoy the thrush.”
Xiaodie immediately changed her respectful tone: “Yes, the slave and maid will go now.”
When she left, she still didn’t forget to smash the silent thrush with a small shovel. Ye Ci immediately made a grimace at her and smiled.
Jiang Xiaolou’s gaze glided across Ye Ci’s surface like water, and he unconsciously placed it on the silent thrush. Ye Ci turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiaolou, a row of snow-white teeth as neat as a shell. He smiled calmly: “Miss don’t worry, this bird will be a blockbuster one day.”
