Chapter 358 Letter (6K+)

This is the innermost room of the library that is piled up with sundries, and there is only a skylight above the head, so even in broad daylight, the light is a bit dim, and it is even difficult to see the expression on the face of the girl in front of the man.

Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian said with embarrassment: "Miss Jiang Si, the library has not been repaired yet, and this room is only convenient for talking. Please forgive me, Miss Jiang Si."

The room was really dirty and dilapidated, even the door latch was broken.

It's not that they don't want to find a cleaner place to talk to Miss Jiang Si, but that the windows in the other rooms of the library are all broken, and if they talk inside, even if others don't want to eavesdrop, they can still hear their conversation , so it seems that this room is the only one that is convenient for talking.

"It's okay." Comparing the embarrassment of Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian, the girl didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "It's the same everywhere."

The key is the speaker, so it is the same everywhere.

The girl didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Jade is worthless when it is broken, and the jade carvings carved by Mr. Jiang are the same." The girl said, "I asked Miss Fang Er, and this was confirmed by the shopkeeper of Jiafengxuan .”

Fang Zhihui's vision for appraising treasures is innate, and the treasurer of Jiafengxuan personally testified that in terms of value, the repaired jade is indeed worthless.

Thinking of the excited literati outside talking about the mountain stone and jade carvings, Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian felt that these words were true but they were not.

But they haven't figured out what is right and wrong.

"Jade is worthless, but the story is. It is a fact that Mr. Jiang wrote it himself. It is also a fact that it was a piece of rubble when it was revealed. It is also a fact that it was repaired again." The girl said, " It is worthless to trade it as a collection, but it is very valuable if it is regarded as a story of Baoling Wenguan, a piece of the past with Mr. Jiang.”

"In the future, there will be students coming in to read and practice calligraphy, and there will be literati coming in to chat. Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian, you will be very busy in the future." The girl said.

These words made Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian look at each other, and they both took half a step back again, saluted her, and said solemnly: "If it weren't for Miss Jiang Si, this literary library would only smash the signboard in our hands. , it was Miss Jiang Si who brought Baoling Wenguan back to life."

They face this mountain stone and jade carving every day, but let its pearl be covered with dust.No wonder people often say, "Maxima often exists, but bole does not often exist." They are so blind, how can they bear the responsibility of running the library?

"The two gentlemen are modest." The girl smiled faintly when she heard the words, paused, and said, "Both the Wenguan and the teahouse are treasures bestowed by God on Baoling, and they are the blessings of the people of Baoling."

These words made Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian feel a subtle embarrassment in their hearts, but at the same time they felt a subtle sense of embarrassment in their hearts: the two masters of the literature shop can’t keep up with Mr. Jiang, the storyteller of other teahouses, at least Mr. Jiang’s storyteller. The ability is really good, and everyone loves to hear it. It doesn't seem like they were hit on the forehead by a rock donated by Jiang Gong.

"I came to the door today. In fact, the little girl has something to ask the two gentlemen." The girl said.

How can there be no reason for Miss Jiang Si's request?Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian hurriedly said: "Miss Jiang Si said that's all, we two will go through fire and water, and we will not hesitate."

The girl smiled when she heard the words, and said slowly: "The famous Jiang Gong's parents are not very powerful, and his husband is not well-known. There is a big saying among folk art instructors, "The master leads the door, and the cultivation Rely on yourself', which stipulates how powerful a person must be in charge of the library? The original intention of the library is to study, no matter the poor, the noble, the old, or the young, they can come in and study if they pay money. There is no class in education!"

The faces of Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian were moved: Baoling Wenguan has never been well-known. In the hearts of most Baoling people, there is no difference. What they usually do is to come to the Wenguan early in the morning to open the gate of the Wenguan, and read inside and wait. Students come.

The situation caused by this kind of waiting is that the library is lonely and no one comes, and the more and more unknown people become more and more people, and the more people are more and more unknown, so it has come to the point where there are only two managers.

"Now that the library has a reputation, students and literati who are rich in food and clothing can naturally come, but some people can't." The girl said, looking at Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian.

When Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian heard this, they were silent for a while before they slapped their heads suddenly: "Is Miss Jiang Si a person who talks about shantang?"

The girl smiled and said, "Not bad."

Apart from the teahouse, Jiang Pingping’s most frequented place is the Shantang, where there are young children who have no one to take care of, but there are also adults who cannot take care of themselves because of the war 20 years ago.

Although Baoling City 20 years ago hid many secrets, there is one thing that cannot be faked, that is, Baoling City 20 years ago was not involved in the war.

Where did the wounded who couldn't take care of themselves come from?Jiang Shaoyan didn't know how many of them came back from Baidi back then, but she also knew that this was a group of people that Jiang Pingping could never stand by.

She wanted to do a lot of things in this life, and naturally the first thing she wanted to do was to take care of Jiang Pingping's worries.

"Master Jiang San and Master Jiang Er still have a lot of money besides repairing the library. I heard Jiang Gong often said before his death, 'If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world'. Since you have accepted Jiang Gong's love, If I have enough energy, I will take over his mantle, I wonder what the two gentlemen will do?" The girl said, looking at Mr. Liang and Mr. Qian with a smile.

The conduct of the two managers of this library is not bad, and now that they have Jiang Gong's affection, they will naturally not refuse.

This idea has her selfishness to make Jiang Pingping worry about the future, but it is not entirely because of her selfishness. Mr. Jiang has indeed said such things, and it is also his idea that there is no one to teach.

It has to be said that the rumored Duke Jiang does have a lot of admiration, at least as far as Jiang Shaoyan is concerned, he is indeed admired.

After leaving Baoling Wenguan, Jiang Shaoyan went to Guangming Nunnery again.

"Amitabha, Miss Jiang Si has been really busy these days. How long has it been since she came to see the old nun?" Master Jing Ci glanced at her, looked at Jiang Shaoyan with a teacup in her hand, and said, "I heard that the Jiang family Recently, they have been running to the yamen very diligently, and some of them have even entered the prison to taste the sufferings of the world."

As long as there is excitement in this Baoling City that arouses the whole city, the word "Jiang's family" will probably be unavoidable. Master Jingci gave her a sideways look and said, "If there is any disturbance in this Baoling City, it is probably Miss Jiang Si. from."

Jiang Shaoyan didn't deny it when she heard the words, she smiled and was about to speak when she saw Mrs. Jingci took out a letter from her arms, handed it to her and said: "The old thing Huijue sent to you, he is here these days There in Chang'an, I lecturing scriptures, eating and drinking, I miss you very much..." Master Jingci dragged his tone too deliberately at this point.

When Jiang Shaoyan heard that she deliberately elongated her tone, she knew something was wrong, so she smiled and waited for her to continue: "The roasted meat in a crock pot, lion's head and so on."

Sure enough... Zen Master Huijue was still thinking about her food.

Jiang Shaoyan looked at the letter that had been torn off the seal in her hand, and Mrs. Jing Ci readily nodded and admitted that she had read the letter: "The old man knows that I am very curious, so he told me to read it first."

But once you're done, you can't undo it.

"I heard that some people can restore this stamp, I don't know if it's true." Mrs. Jingci muttered as if unintentionally, and glanced at the girl.

The girl raised her eyes and smiled at her, then took out the letter that Zen Master Huijue gave her and read it noncommittally.

In the first two sentences, he confessed that he is now in Chang'an and will stay in the temple outside Chang'an for several months, half a year and a year. She is welcome to come and find him after returning to Chang'an.

Afterwards, I talked about the food in Chang'an City: some shops are famous, but the food they can make is really not very delicious. It's really hard to live up to the reputation.He also asked her which shops are actually worthy of their reputation.

Ninety percent of the whole article is talking about food.Jiang Shaoyan saw the end of the letter with a smile, and her smile was slightly restrained.

"That old fellow Huijue said that the palace has been heavily guarded recently, because after someone stole the Ye Mingzhu, even a fly could not fly out." Mrs. Jingci sighed imperceptibly as she looked at the girl's fading smile. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Bingdi snow lotus leaves are not good."

The girl pursed her lips, did not speak, and continued to look at the content at the end of the letter: "There was a conflict between the Huihe tribe. I heard that in order to fight for the Huihe tribe, the two parties fought against each other. In order to cut off the rations of the other party, they directly dug up the northern part of the Huihe Snow Mountain. All the vegetation in one place..."

This "Bingdi Snow Lotus Leaf" is recorded in the history as coming from the north of the Huihe Snow Mountain. If there is a conflict between the Huihe tribes and all the vegetation is dug up, it will be difficult to produce another flower in at least a few decades. Tichelle's.

The first of these two messages told her that it would be difficult to get the snow lotus leaves in the palace by extraordinary methods, and the other news told her that it was almost impossible to find another snow lotus on the snow mountain.

Seeing the girl's eyes drooping and her lips pursed silently, this is a dignified expression rarely seen on a girl's face, Master Jingci couldn't help sighing when she saw this, and shook her head slowly: The girl is far smarter than her peers, and she seems to be able to solve any difficulties in her hands. She has never seen a girl with such a dignified expression before.

"Some troubles!" The girl lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, then sighed and said quietly.

Master Jingci handed her a cup of tea and said, "It's really troublesome."

Some truths are actually not deep at all, and can even be described as simple, no matter how smart or powerful she is, she must live first before she can do what she wants to do.

It is very important to live first, but now these two news clearly cut off most of her life, what should I do?
"Is there any way to make His Majesty personally allow the opening of the national treasury to give medicine?" Master Jing Ci looked at the girl who was holding a teacup and pursed her lips, muttered, with a headache, "The poor nun really can't think of it. "

He is the Son of Heaven above ten thousand people, and it is even more impossible to use force to force him. After all, this is the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the world with his real military achievements, it is estimated that few people can beat him one-on-one.

"It's a bit tricky." The girl took a sip while holding the teacup, her eyes could not see the bottom behind the dense tea.

"Of course ordinary people like us cannot get in touch with His Majesty," Master Jingci thought for a while, then suddenly said, "The poor nun has been thinking about this after reading the letter these days, but I thought of a person who might try try."

After drinking the tea, the girl raised her head, her expression unchanged: "You mean Ji Chongyan?"

The girl said the name "Ji Chongyan" in a calm tone, as if she had guessed the answer early in the morning. After seeing Master Jingci nodding, the girl shook her head without thinking, and said, "He can't."

why not?This time it was Master Jingci's turn to be very puzzled: "Your Majesty has always loved Ji Shizi, and Shizi's mother is gone, and the deceased is always a rare existence in people's hearts because they will not come back, so Princess Zhaoyun can say It is Ji Shizi's natural protection talisman, if Ji Shizi finds a way..."

"He may have a solution. After all, he has been with His Majesty for many years, so he should know His Majesty better than we do." Jiang Shaoyan saw the face with a bright red mole at the end of his eye and was silent, but shook his head and said, "But Mr. It's too dangerous to be like a tiger."

Ji Chongyan naturally has means, and maybe he has a way to get these things, but if, as Jiang Pingping guessed, His Majesty was the mastermind behind all that, then Ji Chongyan may turn from the most trusted person of His Majesty to the most suspicious person at any time. man of.

Trust and doubt are often just a thought.

At that time, if His Majesty is the mastermind behind the scenes, then Ji Chongyan will be in danger.She didn't want him in danger.

Both Princess Zhaoyun and General Zhao are her old friends. She does have some "little cabbage" feelings for Ji Chongyan in her heart, and even after her old friend, those things had nothing to do with him back then, and it was completely unnecessary Get him involved.

The closest to the Son of Heaven must be the most powerful chess piece, but it must also be the most dangerous chess piece.

She never intended for Ji Chongyan to do this pawn, it could be someone else, or even herself, but she didn't want it to be him.

Seeing that the girl shook her head without thinking about it, Mrs. Jingci was helpless. The girl seemed weak, but she was actually soft and strong. Once she made a decision, it was difficult to change it.

This is the difficulty of smart people. It is not easy for smart people to change their minds.Therefore, after being silent for a while, Master Jingci could only say: "Forget it, there may be other ways, don't worry, there are many private collectors, and it is possible for someone to hide a single snow lotus leaf."

The girl nodded and said nothing more.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that this might be insignificant, even if there were such things, those who were willing to take them out would have already given them out in exchange for what they wanted.If it is not taken out, then it must be a thousand gold, ten thousand gold will not be exchanged, such people will not let this thing show up easily.

After exchanging greetings with Master Jingci for a while, the girl got up to say goodbye.

When I returned to Jiangjia Bieyuan from Guangming Temple, it was already time to eat evening food, and I had just finished eating the fish and meat wontons made by Mrs. Liu. When Jiang Shaoyan and Xiangli, the master and servant, were about to get up and go for a walk to eat, they suddenly heard a loud noise at the door. Voice.

Hearing the sudden noise, Jiang Shaoyan and Xiangli were both taken aback.

Xiangli opened her eyes in surprise and murmured: "Aren't those bastards already sent to the prison? Why are there still people in the Jiang family making trouble? Could it be that they escaped from the prison?"

Of course it's not a prison escape. If it was a prison escape, someone would have been beating the gong and shouting outside.

……

"Damn it, Chitu, you..." Duan Fei, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, was solemnly interrupted by the opposite guard before he could finish speaking.

"My lord, my name is Lu, not Chitu." Lu said.

Duan Fei who was punched in the face: "..."

Ji Chongyan, a treacherous bastard, is so troublesome to choose a name for the boy, there are a bunch of names of famous horses, how can he remember which one it is?
But right now, he may not remember others clearly, but he can remember this one named Lu clearly.

If you come up and can't help but give him a punch, you don't give him any face.Duan Fei touched the "Prince of Dongchuan" identity badge next to him and suspected that this man named Lu might have listened to Ji Chongyan's order and deliberately targeted him.

Facing Duan Fei's unfriendly gaze, Lu took the gun behind his back without any reaction: the prince said that foreign affairs and foreign objects will only affect the speed at which people draw their guns.When facing an enemy, you don't need to care about the opponent's identity, status, gender, strength or weakness, you just need to do it.

So in the past few months, he beat up the guards of the Yang family's Langtou battalion, captured the supposedly "beautiful woman" of the Yang family, Yang Xianzhi, who was like a "scourge", and now he even beat up the prince of Dongchuan.

Facts have proved that what Shizi said is true, why do you think so much when you meet an enemy, just kill him.

"Why are you beating me?" Duan Fei, who covered his face and gasped, was helped up by the guards who had no time to react. He couldn't help but glanced at the guards around him, and cursed, "Why is the reaction so slow? The guards put me The prince beat you to react?"

The guard looked aggrieved: How did he know that Shizi Ji's guard didn't talk about martial arts like Shizi himself, and suddenly came up without saying a word and started to attack?
God is really fair, this guy named Lu looks so smart and talented in martial arts, but he is really powerful. When he is caught off guard, who can stop him?

Lu looked at Duan Fei who was being helped up by the guards, but felt a little unsatisfied: "It's a pity, the prince of Dongchuan fell too fast, he didn't have time to draw his gun, and he was lying down."

Is it true that as long as he lies down fast enough, his gun can't hurt him?This kind of opponent is really boring, so, looking at the opponents in the past few months, it is better to be the guards of the two wolf-head battalions of the Yang family, let him use his gun to the fullest.

When Jiang Shaoyan and others came over, Fei had already received a punch, and was arguing with Lu Niu's head.

"Why did you punch me for no reason? Who gave you the guts?" Duan Fei was afraid that this person would punch again suddenly, and asked Lu who was hiding behind the guard.

Lu Wenyan's expression remained unchanged: "Our prince gave you the courage, if you have any opinions, you can ask our prince."

Duan Fei: "..." Alright!He has no objection for the time being, he doesn't want to see Ji Chongyan's half-smile face.

"There must be a reason for beating someone, why did you beat me?"

"Because you should fight," Lu said.

Where should he fight?Duan Fei was puzzled, and subconsciously touched his own face: no problem, he's still handsome and unrestrained, he doesn't look like he should be beaten.

Lu, who "cherishes words like gold" in that room, saw Jiang Shaoyan and others walking towards this side, and remembered what Lin Shaoqing told him before he left, "Don't cause trouble for your son, but stand up for your son in front of Miss Jiang Si." If you have a good image", I explained a few more sentences: "When I came, you stood here and looked into Miss Jiang Si's yard, and you didn't know what you were thinking about, so I acted first."

What's the mess?Is this how the cocking dog is used?Duan Fei covered his face and helped his forehead helplessly, and explained: "I just want to see what Miss Jiang Si is having for dinner."

Miss Jiang Si and the people around her seemed to be poisonous, as if everything became particularly delicious in their hands and mouths.

But today, he had already eaten Mrs. Liu's fish wontons, so he didn't feel greedy anymore. When he took a look and was about to go back to the yard, Lu punched him.

"So you are here alone watching the wind, and what you are watching is the wind in Miss Jiang Si's yard, shouldn't I fight it?" Lu didn't think so.

Anyone who sees a figure in winter carrying a folding fan, dressed in brightly colored clothes like the Ximen official in a story book, poking his head at the entrance of the female family's courtyard, would not think that this is a good person!

Who knew that this probe just wanted to see what Miss Jiang Si and the others were eating?
Duan Fei: "..." It's really a scholar who meets a soldier, and it's hard to explain why.If you come across such a stubborn person, if you can explain the truth clearly, then you will see a ghost.

"Forget it, forget it," I saw that Lu was here to run errands and deliver letters for that fellow Ji Chongyan. Although this man's brain is not very good, his mouth is indeed strict, and it is not easy to get words out of his mouth.

Although Duan Fei was curious about the reason why Lu made a special trip, but because of that punch just now, he completely gave up the idea of ​​cliché, covered his face and said to Jiang Shaoyan: "Miss Jiang Si, I'm back to Xiyuan."

His face is also considered rare, but it can't be hurt, so he has to go back to Xiyuan to get medicine.

But before he could take two steps, Lu's voice behind him rang again: "Why don't you go out when you go back? The gate is there!" While speaking, Lu pointed to the gate behind him.

Duan Fei was concerned about his own face, and was too lazy to entangle with Lu Duo, so he explained casually: "I'm borrowing from Jiang's house. I live in Jiang's Xiyuan. What are you doing when you go out?"

Lu was shocked: This flirtatious and unkind Prince Dongchuan actually lived in Jiang's house?This is a serious matter, after escorting Miss Jiang Si back to Yancheng this time, he will definitely report it to the crown prince.

However, there is no need to tell Miss Jiang Si about such insignificant matters. De Lu went forward and bowed to Jiang Shaoyan, saying: "Miss Jiang Si, that old lady of the Yang family sent a letter to Master Yang Yan in the capital. , the pigeon is resting in the yard of my family right now."

Jiang Shaoyan's eyes lit up when she heard the words: "Okay, let's set off for Yancheng immediately."

Mrs. Yang finally lived up to her expectations, and Ji Chongyan also intercepted the pigeon as she expected.

Therefore, the most important step right now is how to deceive the capital and Suzhou.
