Spring Banquet Chapter 75: The most dismissive is lovesickness
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Spring Festival Banquet!
"Mr... Lord?"
Looking at his sudden face, Chang Lin Jun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "If you want to see the princess, then..."
"No." Lowering her eyes, Jiang Xuanjin said coldly, "I see how she does it."
Then what is your reaction? Mr. Chang Lin was panicked, and the person who was looking at ease just now turned dark. If it weren't for the princess, could it be that he couldn't greet him well?
Looking around, Mr. Chang Lin whispered: "Lord Ziyang, I am here in the land of Changlin. You don’t know that there are so many taxes and taxes, which is really not rich. If you are negligent, please be considerate. ."
"The King of Changlin is serious." Jiang Xuanjin said, "Along the way, everywhere in Changlin, the folk customs are simple and the people live in peace."
"That's the old man against the sky, and the sky didn't fall on them." Chang Lin Jun sighed, "Since your Majesty became the ruler, the fiefdom supervision and tax collection have become more and more stringent. The salt tax has already mentioned 30%. A few days, the ambassador came to inspect and said that the land of Changlin is tasteless, ho... If the salt is cheap, who likes the mild taste?"
Jiang Xuanjin twitched the corner of her mouth as she listened.
Tax collection in fiefdoms is a common occurrence. If he didn't invite him to Ziyang to discuss matters last time, and made clear his attitude to protect Danyang against Kyoto, this person would definitely not tell him this today.
The monarchs who were drinking and chatting below, Yu Guang also glanced at him. Jiang Xuanjin knew very well that when he came today, he would definitely be pushed up by them as a shield against the emperor, but he still came.
The unprofitable are worthy of the past, and the profitable are avoided. This birthday banquet, he is like a fool again.
With a low laugh, Jiang Xuanjin met Chang Lin Jun’s eager gaze, and said what he wanted to hear: "Since the tax is too much, why not discuss it with other monarchs and play on the emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, the inner hall of the birthday banquet that was still full of noise suddenly became serious.
"I have been living in the fief for many years, but I don't know the situation in Kyoto or the thoughts of the emperor." Jun Pingling whispered, "How should I play this play? Please give advice to Jun Ziyang."
"Yes, I heard that there is a great chaos in Korea and China. Some time ago, His Majesty sent dozens of ministers to the prison." Mr. Guangping shook his head, "If this memorial is not written, the tax reduction will not be achieved, but it will affect all parts of the country. People."
Speaking of which, I just want Jiang Xuanjin to take the lead, to benefit everyone, and he will stand up if something happens.
Wu sat in the table and looked at him, only to feel that the gentleman in front of him was different from the one in front of the hall.
In front of the temple, his seriousness seems to be pretending, and there is always a little childish light in those dark eyes. But now, standing among so many monarchs, he lifted his jaw lightly, not smiling, still the handsome face of the Fengshen, but with a completely different aura, it seems that no one can break his defense. Can't detect his thoughts.
"It is not difficult to write memorials." Jiang Xuanjin said, "If you have any demands, you may as well tell me, I will organize them one by one, and submit them to the emperor."
So generous? Chang Lin Jun and the others gave each other a look, and they were a little happy in their hearts. According to the rumors, Ziyang Jun was so deceitful, it turned out to be true, and this set is accurate.
With him as a bird, they wouldn't be polite, and they would say how much tax to be reduced, and Wu felt scared when they heard some words.
Jiang Xuanjin asked Chengxu to remember, and didn't refute it at all.
"Where is the land of Danyang?" he asked, "Nothing to say?"
Wu returned to his senses and sneered: "Please please your Majesty."
Danyang’s tax revenue never goes to the national treasury, it has always been the purse of the princess. What's more, your Majesty has issued a marine capture document, and obviously does not recognize that the eldest princess is the lord of Danyang. What can you say to him?
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at him, and said to Jun Chang Lin: "This Jun and the governor are also friends, take a few steps to say a few words, Jun Chang Lin mind?"
Thinking about tax cuts, Chang Lin Jun smiled happily. Where would he mind? Immediately waved his hand: "Please, please."
Wu frowned. He has always had no good feelings for Ziyang Jun. It is not so much an old friend, but an old enemy, and he really doesn't want to go out with him. But after looking at the seat he was sitting in, Wu endured forbearance, and got up and followed him out.
"True illness or fake illness?"
The night outside was as cold as water, and Jiang Xuanjin asked this when standing under the corridor.
Wu was stunned. After realizing that he was asking his Royal Highness, his expression became weird: "You have been in the officialdom for many years, and you can't tell the truth from the scene?"
With them taking care of, what serious illness can your Highness get? In the past two months, the shopkeeper Lu stuffed her stomach with all the good supplements she could find, and the original weak body was abruptly repaired.
Jiang Xuanjin's face is even more ugly, don't start saying: "If she comes today, it will be beneficial and harmless."
Everyone knows this, but she is here, she can't figure out what's going on. Thinking of His Royal Highness's belly as big as a skin drum, Wu hooked his lips: "Your Royal Highness can't worry about it. You should think about how to write memorials. Don't put Ziyang in it. , And it will affect my Danyang."
He could see the thoughts of the princes in the group, and he didn't know why this person would agree to it. Once the emperor was angered, Ziyang would inevitably be a chicken to be killed to curse the monkey.
Jiang Xuanjin glanced at him, her dark eyes were filled with coldness: "If your Royal Highness knew what I did, he would never say anything like you."
What do you mean? Wu is puzzled.
Jiang Xuanjin didn't explain much, turned around and went back to the birthday banquet. Wu stood under the corridor and thought for a long time, but decided to go back and ask His Royal Highness.
After the banquet of Lord Changlin, Wu went back on horseback as the first one. The remaining monarchs discussed with Lord Ziyang for two days, and then left one after another.
Du Ziyang Jun stayed until the end, standing in the garden of the Changlin Jun's mansion, staring at the fish in the pool blankly.
"Your Majesty..." Chang Lin asked nervously, "Changlin has a spring with clear water. Fish swim in it as if flying in the sky. Would you like to see it?"
Jiang Xuanjin shook her head.
"Then...there is a new dancer in the house, who performed a very beautiful dance. Would you like to appreciate one or two?"
Jiang Xuanjin still shook her head.
Mr Chang Lin pondered for a long time and hesitated to say: "This monarch has some old friendship with Nandu Jun. He asked Ben Jun to visit the long princess. Does the Lord go back to Ziyang or go with him?"
Jiang Xuanjin finally turned around and asked him, "Is it wrong if I go with Jun Lin?"
A flash of light flashed in his mind, Chang Lin Jun raised his eyebrows, and immediately said: "It's very appropriate, it's very appropriate! Nandu Jun has a lot of things to be gifted by him. Ben Jun and Long Princess are not too familiar. Embarrassing. If you can go with you to clear the siege, you will be grateful!"
The eyebrows are soothing, Jiang Xuanjin lifted her chin: "The land of Danyang, I don't want to go to the land of Danyang. It is another trouble to get news from Kyoto."
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't matter, this monarch is hiding it for the king, only saying that the king is traveling in my Changlin!"
Jiang Xuanjin reluctantly nodded: "If that's the case, it's better to be respectful than fate."
Chengxu and Yufeng heard the corners of their mouths twitching behind them, and wanted to come forward and remind him: Your Lord, Master Lu is still carrying him in Ziyang.
I looked at my master’s attitude toward the gentleman of Changlin Jun suddenly. Chengxu understands it very well. It’s useless. It’s useless to say anything. I haven’t seen it for more than two months. The master can’t help it anymore. .
Fortunately at the beginning, the eldest princess left by herself, and the master persisted for more than a month with a wave of anger, but how long can this thing last? Once dissipated, how can the thoughts in my heart be suppressed?
I also blame Yufeng. It was fine, but he secretly moved the box containing the old lady's belongings from the master's room, saying that he didn't want him to see the sadness. Originally thought that the master hadn't paid attention, who knew he would notice it as soon as he entered the house, and asked them to move the box back and open it for inspection.
In this inspection, we saw a handkerchief.
The kerchief was found by Yufeng from under the bed. I thought that the lady had not had time to give it to the master. She was embroidered crookedly with the words "Professional Husband". To be honest, the embroidery work is really unsatisfactory and the characters are ugly, but For some reason, the master's eyes were red.
He has always disliked such explicit words. Chengxu thought it was the lady who used to molest the host. Who knew he flipped through the bottom of the box and turned out a framed character.
The word “understand by the emptiness” is the master’s handwriting, and it says "Kissing Wife".
The master only glanced at it, then didn't dare to look again, closed the box, buckled it, and put it back in place.
Neither Chengxu nor Yufeng knew when this word was written or why it was written, but seeing the master's reaction, no one dared to ask more.
Forget it, take the imaginary, go if you want, the master is rare to be willful.
The dry and cold weather in the first-tier cities made people uncomfortable, and Jiang Shen couldn't adapt to it when he arrived, and he developed a high fever. The accompanying minion Shuangtian persuaded him to rest in the inn, but he didn't, and went to the Long Princess House in a daze.
Li Huaiyu was watching Xu Chuniang embroidering small clothes for the child in her belly, and he could hear Qingxian leaning against the door and shouting: "Your Highness, there is a porcelain toucher at the door, so I won't leave."
His eyes brightened, and Huaiyu came to be interested: "Is there anyone who is so daring to touch porcelain at my door? Walk around and take me to see!"
"Wait." Xu Chuyong grabbed her, crying and laughing, "Will you run around with such a big belly?"
"It's rare that Lu Jingxing is not here today, so hurry out and breathe out." Huaiyu said aggrievedly, "Let me rest all day, I'm bored!"
Xu Chu Niang looked embarrassed, thought for a while, took the tiger skin cloak from the screen and wrapped it on her, and while tying her with a belt, he looked at the color of the cloak: "How did you make a piece like this..."
"Lu Jingxing asked me if I want tiger skin or fox fur. I think tiger skin is more domineering." Putting on the cloak and turning around in front of her, Huaiyu raised his chin very proudly, "Is it good-looking?"
Good-looking is good-looking, just like a mountain king.
Looking at the sky outside, Xu Chuniang is still not at ease: "You hold me, I will help you pass."
The clear line of the report paused, with a complex expression: "Isn't Miss Xu afraid of the cold? Just stay in the house, we will go down the hall."
"Why don't you have me being careful? I went for a walk with Huaiyu the day before yesterday, didn't you almost make her fall?"
"...That is because His Royal Highness is going to climb the rockery." Qing Xian has a headache. "As long as Your Royal Highness walks well, we can hold it."
Hearing this, Huaiyu became unhappy, and patted her belly and said: "I just have a big belly. Do you think I am lame or something? Okay, don't fight, myself Go."
After all, just cross the threshold and leave.
"His Royal Highness!" Qingxian and Xu Chuniang were both anxious, and they couldn't care much about it, so they chased them out quickly.
Li Huaiyu's bottom plate is very stable. Even with a big belly, he walks with wind. Coupled with that majestic tiger skin, Jiang Shen at the door looks from a distance and asks in a daze, "A tiger rushed over?"
Shuangtian shook his head: "My son, that's a man."
Whose people look like tigers? Jiang Shen was perplexed. He watched the tiger approach and looked at him in amazement. He immediately turned back to block in front of him, and said backwards: "First brew, can you bring me a cloak?"
Xu Chu Niang is inexplicable: "Aren't you wearing it?"
Taking a pat on the forehead, Huaiyu smiled: "I am stupid, so what? You can just go and pour a cup of tea."
In the winter, let someone pour tea from the house to the door, so it’s not cold enough? Qingxian wiped his face, he could understand what His Highness wanted to do, but this excuse really couldn't make sense.
No matter how dull Xu Chuyong was, he noticed something was wrong, and wanted to look behind her.
However, as she moved to the left, Huaiyu moved to the left. She moved to the right, Huaiyu moved to the right to block.
So Xu Chuniang understood: "Is there someone from the Jiang family?"
Li Huaiyu scratched his chin: "Why are you so smart all of a sudden?"
Xu Chuyong chuckled: "I have been by your side for so long, I always have to learn something...Don't stop it, I have nothing to do with the Jiang family, and I won't care whoever comes."
"It's not...but this person..."
Xu Chuyong smiled and stepped onto the steps to help her aside.
So in the next instant, she met Jiang Shen's misty peach eyes.
The bitter wind came in from the doorway, making people cold.
Xu Chuyong looked at him stiffly for a long time, then bowed his eyes and saluted: "Second Young Master."
I haven't seen this person for a long time. Her life seems not as sad as he thought, at least she has a lot of silk and silk, her complexion is ruddy, and she is not thin.
Jiang Shen chuckled lightly and asked her, "You won't care about anyone here?"
Xu Chu Niang was silent, his back was tense, and his face gradually turned pale.
It's fake to say that it doesn't care. After all, I used to like someone and a married couple who has left. Seeing you again at first sight will inevitably be a little strange. But she did not shed tears with red eyes as she used to. After finishing her emotions, she spoke calmly:
"The second son came from a long way, but what's the matter?"
The alienated attitude, as if he was just an ordinary visitor.
Jiang Shen sneered: "The way of hospitality in the princess mansion is to stand at the door and ask questions?"
Li Huaiyu's eyes were not very friendly, so he dragged Xu Chu Niang behind him and stared at him: "My house has always been a hostile way. If you are in a hurry, you may be beaten up. Would you like to try? "
The Shuangtian behind was guarded against her as soon as she heard it, Jiang Shen coughed twice, just about to say something, her eyes were attracted by her swollen belly.
"This..." He was taken aback, then his eyes widened, "Could it be..."
Oops! Everyone was shocked, but Qingxian's reaction was quick. He directly pulled the person into the door, pushed him into the courtyard together with Shuangtian, and then closed the door.
Since I saw it, I can't let him go.
Jiang Shen staggered for two steps, already dizzy, and now even more unsteady. Xu Chuyong looked at him, hesitated for a while, and reached out to help him.
I don't know if I don't touch it, I found this person is hot after touching it.
"You..." Xu Chuyong frowned, "Sick?"
Jiang Shen hummed lightly and coughed twice.
Li Huaiyu looked sadly: "This is really here to touch porcelain."
Originally, she planned to give a lesson to those who touched porcelain, but the situation is a bit embarrassing now. Do it, people are still sick, don't do it, is it possible to really treat him as a guest?
I was hesitating, Chijin's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Why are you standing here?"
Xu Chuyong turned his head and saw that he was holding her cloak in his hand, as if he hadn’t seen Jiang Shen, walked straight to her and said: "Why don't you wear more when you come out?"
The body was already a little stiff from the cold, Xu Chuyong smiled at him gratefully, took it and wrapped it in a cloak: "Going a little hastily."
"Let's go with your Royal Highness to warm up the pavilion first." Equatorial Road, "Leave the rest to me."
This is so intimate, as if the two have been a couple who have been in a tacit understanding for many years. Jiang Shen looked at Xu Chu Niang with a deep face, but the latter did not refuse, but nodded obediently.
What is this?
With a sneer, Jiang Shen did not start, and suddenly felt as if someone had pierced his heart, and the cold wind poured thorns straight into it.
What is he doing this time? It's okay at all, it's him who is in trouble.
Huaiyu took Xu Chujiang back to the house, and when she saw her look solemn, she asked: "Still can't let it go?"
"No." Xu Chuyong looked up at her, "I was thinking, if he saw your belly, would he go back and tell Jun Shang."
Nonsense, surely! Huaiyu lay down on the soft couch, also a little embarrassed. According to the rules of the Northern Wei Dynasty, as long as it is a child born after getting married, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, it must belong to the man. If Jiang Xuanjin doesn't know, it's okay. Once she knows, she rushes to grab the child from her, she really may not be able to win.
I was rather irritated and clicked on my belly, Huaiyu said: "It's all because I have eaten too much recently, otherwise my belly wouldn't be so big."
"The doctor said, you will have a big belly if you make up." Xu Chuyong shook his head, "You still have to eat what you should eat."
As for how to keep Jiang Shen from speaking, she can think of a way.
Qing Xian and Chi Jin settled Jiang Shen in the guest room together. Second Young Master Jiang kept his face black, and closed his eyes silently after lying on the bed.
The eyebrows moved slightly, and Qing Xian suddenly asked Chi Jin: "Did you go to feed the grain today?"
Chijin shook his head: "The weather is cold recently, there is a strong wind, so I won't go."
"Hey, it's Miss Xu who is afraid of the cold, but not you, so why don't you go if she doesn't go?"
Nonsense, if Miss Xu doesn't go, she won't put grain at all, what is he going to do? Chi Jinbai glanced at him and turned to leave.
"Hey, take a bowl of soup to Miss Xu by the way, and see if she is too cold." Qing Xian said.
There is no doubt about him, Chijin responded and stepped out of the guest room.
Qing Xian's eyes were full of smiles, and she looked back at the Second Young Master Jiang, who was still holding his fists with his eyes closed, and clapped his hands in a good mood: "If you need anything, talk to someone outside."
After a pause, I added another sentence: "Although it may not be useful to say it, it is better than not to say it."
This kind of negligent attitude made Shuangtian frown, and when Qingxian left, he squatted by the bed and said: "Why do you have to come here to get angry?"
Jiang Shen closed his eyes and didn't answer, his mind was full of the cunning appearance of Xu Chunang standing in front of Chi Jin just now.
What is jealousy? He felt ugly, so he never allowed women in his backyard to have any. Whoever was jealous and jealous would drive him away.
But now, he knows very well that he is jealous.
A deep sense of powerlessness and anxiety spread from his heart, making him hot, dizzy and weak even to lift a finger.
Vaguely, he heard Xu Chuyong's voice again. Like when he was sick a long time ago, he whispered in front of his bed: "Help him and feed this bowl of medicine."
Gu Luan and Cixue will accompany him when he is happy, lingering with him, and making fun with him. When he was unhappy or sick, most of the people around him were Xu Chu Niang.
This unremarkable person invaded his days in a way that he didn't notice. There was no laughter but bitter tears. He thought it was a good thing to leave the bitter tears, but who knew that she had left, it became difficult for him to even smile.
The back of his hand was probed, and he subconsciously grabbed the man with his backhand and opened his eyes with difficulty.
Dreaming about her again.
Looking at the face in front of him, Jiang Shen pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "The third brother is very bad."
Ignoring the reaction of the person in front of him, he murmured: "He was not happy, so he came to embarrass me and asked me to write you a divorce letter... Why didn't you come to me to ask me when you got the divorce letter? I thought you would come. You still have a lot of things with me, so I can’t leave them all... at least take away the dowry, there are several boxes..."
After a pause, he tilted his head: "The last box is empty, can't you load me up?"
His eyes, which have always been romantic and passionate, are full of mist at the moment, and there is no focus in the pupils, and the tone sounds aggrieved.
Xu Chuyong sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him in astonishment.
She had never seen a second son like this, and never talked like this even when she was drunk. His face was haggard, his lips were pale, and he looked a little seriously ill.
Poke his own hand, and found that he couldn't move, Xu Chuyong pressed his lips, pressed his emotions, took the bowl with his other hand, and handed him the medicine.
Jiang Shen took a look and shook his head: "If you don't drink, you will leave after drinking."
"If the second son doesn't want to drink, then I will leave now."
Slightly panicked, Jiang Shen hurriedly took the bowl she was holding and drank the medicine cleanly, drinking it while looking at her direction.
Xu Chuyong looked at him blankly for a while, then looked down: "You can rest."
Jiang Shen asked vaguely: "Are you still in my dream tomorrow?"
Unable to answer, Xu Chu brewed red eyes.
She is the one who loves miserably, and the one who is disappointed is also her. Why does he look like this now?
"Come or not?" Jiang Shen seemed to be extremely sleepy, and barely wanted an answer.
Xu Chuzheng got up, gritted his teeth and answered him: "It will come."
