peasant young lady

Chapter 264 Liu Jin
Cheng Xia didn't know whether to go in for a moment, or to find an osmanthus tree behind the bamboo house and climb up to hide like Eucommia.

Seeing Cheng Xia approaching the door, Yang Dalang got up naturally and led her in. The eunuch inside saw that Yang Dalang behaved so intimately with the woman who came in, he was taken aback for a moment, and Fochen waved his fingers lightly, and his throat was squeezed. He spoke, "Master Shao, what is this?"

"The wife that the matchmaker is marrying." Yang Dalang put the cardboard box and meat in Cheng Xia's hand aside, and then let her sit beside him, grabbed her hand intentionally or unintentionally, and rubbed it in his own, "Grandpa I have also seen that I am married, and this matter in the capital has left me a long time ago. After 16 years, if I go back now, it will be a different thing. Please let your father-in-law tell your majesty, his thoughts will be remembered In my heart, I just, forgive me for not being able to fulfill your majesty's wishes."

"This, this," the father-in-law tremblingly pointed to Cheng Xia, and then to Yang Dalang, "You, the king of the capital."

"Eunuch be careful!" Yang Dalang interrupted him calmly, "I don't want to mention the affairs in the capital for a long time. The past has been blown away with the wind, and I hope that Eunuch will not mention it again."

Eunuch Liu rolled his eyes a few times, seeing Shao Chen holding the woman's hand so possessively, what Mr. Shao meant was concise and clear, and there was nothing he didn't understand.It's just, hey, what a bad relationship after all.

Take a closer look at this girl. Under the reflection of the warm autumn sun, her face is more crystal clear and jade. Just now when she walked in the door, her body is even more straight, tall and slender, and she looks like a girl when she walks around. is a painting.Especially those eyes, bright and gazing, full of agility, cunning and profound knowledge.Liu Jin nodded slightly in her heart, this girl doesn't look like an ordinary person.

While Liu Jin was looking at Cheng Xia, Cheng Xia also slightly raised his eyes to look at him. At the age of 35, there is a lot of fat on his face, his eyes are smiling, but the smile does not reach his eyes, this eunuch is probably a person with an unusually exquisite heart, that's why he was selected in the Forbidden City where there are so many eunuchs Come to Qingxian Village from all the way to find Yang Dalang.Cheng Xia noticed a few guards standing at the door, and the sedan chair with more ornate horses and horses, which is enough to show that the status of this eunuch is not low.

Taking another look at the clothes on his body, Cheng Xia still recognizes the eunuch's clothes. The clothes are called 'Yesa', and they were often worn by eunuchs in the palace of Ming Dynasty.The eunuch's service also includes round neck lining, straight body, big pleats, smooth pleats, colored clothes, etc., but they are not as noble as Yesa.The hat on his head is called 'Yantun Cap', and there is a 'Duo Pin' pinned in the middle of his head, and the pair next to the 'Duo Pin' is called 'Tao Zhang'. Cheng Xia still remembers these scientific names.It was written in Shen Congwen's "Research on Ancient Chinese Costumes", and she remembers it very deeply.

Cheng Xia glanced at him and then sat quietly beside Yang Dalang, staring at her toes carefully, she didn't need to do anything, just listen quietly.

Liu Jin stared at Cheng Xia's every move with perfect eyes. Seeing her reaction like this, she even gave her a thumbs up in her heart. She didn't ask too much, didn't talk too much, and didn't look too much. The wife of Second Young Master Shao is really a lady. Corner.

The air suddenly fell silent, Yang Dalang smiled slightly at Liu Jin, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "My father-in-law just arrived, I still have some things I don't understand, I want to ask your father-in-law, how did your majesty find out about my whereabouts?" .”

Uncle Zhong?No, Yang Dalang quickly vetoed this idea, even though he hadn't seen him for many years, Yang Dalang also believed that Uncle Zhong was still the Uncle Zhong before, and he would not change easily, he told him not to tell anyone the news, he would not will say.

Is it Eucommia?Yang Dalang turned his head slightly and looked towards the window, Eucommia was still hiding in the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, let alone him, he couldn't be more clear about the temperament of his cousin.

However, who else would disclose the news to the emperor?
Liu Jin took the teacup and smiled, "Isn't it all thanks to your nanny, Mrs. Chen, that the young master escaped here?"

Yang Dalang's face turned serious, is it the Chen family?No, how could she, how could she?
"Young Master, don't you believe me?" Liu Jin put down the teacup, Buddha Chen put it on the table, and said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty offered a reward in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who can provide information about Young Master will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver, and the Chen family will go to Jianning." The government informed the chief envoy of the Jianning government, and the chief envoy hurriedly delivered the news to His Majesty within [-] miles, which is why our family's trip came about."

Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang looked at each other, both of them could not have imagined that Mrs. Chen would reveal this matter for money.

Moreover, even if they went to inform, the Chen family should report to Zheng Guan, the magistrate of Chong'an County, why did they go to Chong'an County at a distance.

Yang Dalang also had Cheng Xia's doubts. When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately smiled, "You don't know, this Zheng Guan is notoriously stubborn. Even the previous emperors had nothing to do with him. Mrs. Chen told Zheng Guan, After understanding the ins and outs, Zheng Guan reprimanded Mrs. Chen, saying that she had worked so hard for so many years, how could she leak the news at this juncture, this Zheng Guan also advised Mrs. Chen to take back what she said If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t think about it anymore. It’s just that Mrs. Chen didn’t listen, and went to Jianning Mansion with great effort, found the chief envoy, and got the reward of 1000 taels.”

Liu Jin took a sip of tea slowly, "Our family also passed by Jianning Mansion to learn about all of this in detail, and only then did we learn such details."

Yang Dalang's eyes dimmed in an instant, he closed his eyes fiercely, he couldn't imagine that it was because of Mrs. Chen that he leaked his whereabouts, it was really a trick of luck.However, Yang Dalang chuckled, "Grandpa, does the chief envoy of the Jianning Mansion believe it just based on the nanny's words?"

"Of course I don't believe it," Liu Jin smiled brightly, took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Yang Dalang, "My lord, please take a look."

Cheng Xia moved a little closer and carefully looked at the thing in Yang Dalang's hand. It was a palace card with the words Chenghua Seven Years written on it.The seventh year of Chenghua, that is, 1471 AD, was the year when the Shao family had an accident 16 years ago.

Seeing that Yang Dalang thought of something, Liu Jin continued to explain, "This is the token for going out of the palace that year, and it was provided by Mrs. Chen. You should remember that it was given to Mrs. Shao by Concubine Shao."

Yang Dalang nodded. Mrs. Shao was referring to his mother. At that time, his mother often went to the palace to talk to his aunt, so the aunt gave her this palace card. He or his elder brother always carried the palace card. After Shao Jiannong lost it once, , this palace card was kept by Shao Chen, he didn't expect that the nanny would bring out this palace card back then.

"Just because of this?" Yang Dalang didn't quite believe it.

Liu Jin took out another thing from his bosom, which was an old letter. Yang Dalang took it suspiciously and looked at it, and was stunned. After knowing the news that Concubine Wan Guifei was going to do something to the Shao family, he wrote a letter overnight and sent someone to deliver it to Shao's mansion. The letter was also handed to her.

Yang Dalang didn't know about the letter, and he didn't know about the palace card either. Didn't expect the nanny to secretly hide these two things for so long?Could it be, just to find a way out for myself?So is there such a situation today?

Yang Dalang held the palace card tightly, wishing he could pinch it into his palm, this feeling was especially bad.

Cheng Xia gently rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb, warming him up little by little.She also knows Yang Dalang's mood, he has always felt that the nanny is the most ashamed, but now, his mood is complicated and difficult to distinguish.

Yang Dalang restrained his emotions, and smiled politely at Liu Jin, "Thank you father-in-law for telling me this, but I've made up my mind, I'm afraid father-in-law made this trip in vain."

"Hey," Liu Jin stroked her hair and sighed slightly, "My lord, do you know why it's our house that came today?"

"I don't know."

"Actually, His Majesty originally intended to let King Xing come over. These years, King Xing has been secretly investigating the news of the young master, but he has not gained anything. His Majesty wanted to make King Xing happy, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to pick up the young master directly. Returning to the capital, this way, the surprise is even bigger. In addition, alas, His Royal Highness King Xing is not feeling well these days. His Majesty sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him. The result is only that His Highness is worried and longing for illness, and he needs to have a good childbirth. In the end, this job fell on our family."

Missing you?Cheng Xia couldn't help laughing with her eyes downcast, would the fourth prince who loves chrysanthemums still miss him?Looking cold and hard, he doesn't seem like such a tender person.

Feeling Cheng Xia's chuckle, Yang Dalang's palms suddenly tightened, the strength made Cheng Xia feel pain, she looked up at Yang Dalang in confusion, but saw unprecedented frost on his face, Cheng Xia frowned Twist, Wei Wei pulled her hand out, but she couldn't pull it out, so she gave up.

After the father-in-law leaves, she will give Yang Dalang a good lesson.

Liu Jin didn't notice the movements of the two of them, and sighed comfortably, "Hey, Your Majesty wanted to surprise King Xing and Concubine Shao, and General Fengguo at the same time, but the young master didn't want to go back." Liu Jin said, don't worry. He took a deep look at Cheng Xia.

Yang Dalang was overjoyed, "Your Majesty didn't tell anyone?"

Liu Jin nodded in a daze, "Your Majesty told our family to come here when he heard the news, saying that we would keep it from everyone and wait for the young master to go back and clean up the dust for the young master."

Yang Dalang suddenly appreciated His Majesty's decision, "Father-in-law, since His Majesty has not informed anyone, then it should be assumed that His Majesty never knew about all this, and my grandfather and Concubine Shao's side should also keep it a secret, just treat me as Shao Chen, died 16 years ago."

"My lord, you, hey," Liu Jin couldn't help sighing, "Your Majesty told this slave long ago that he would give you a heavy responsibility, so you really won't return?"

"I've made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me too much."

"Forget it," Liu Jin got up, "Your Majesty gave this servant ten days to leave Chong'an County. If the young master still decides not to leave, our family will leave."

Yang Dalang and Cheng Xia sent Liu Jin outside the door, and watched him sit in a sedan chair and be carried down the mountain.

Cheng Xia saw the shadow of the sedan chair getting more and more vague, and thought of the identity of this father-in-law, he couldn't help asking, "Do you know what this father-in-law's name is?"

"Liu Jin." Yang Dalang said leisurely.

"What?" Cheng Xia suddenly yelled, isn't it, the person just now was Liu Jin?
