Chapter 126
"Afraid of him?" Murong Jing sneered, turned the cup in his hand twice, and stopped with a "snap", "I will prepare evidence that the second prince has a close relationship with Donglai in the next few days, what do you do?" Get ready."

Knowing that Murong Jing was really annoyed, Li Chucheng stopped provoking him, thought for a while, nodded, and agreed to the matter.After finishing the business, the three of them still wanted to talk about something that was not serious.

"Why are you two together?"

Li Chucheng was talking about Murong Jing and Bai Aoshuang. Bai Aoshuang hadn't appeared since he disappeared five years ago. It was reported that he lived alone in Nanzhu and hadn't left for five years.

As for Murong Jing, this time he was going to Eastern Xinjiang to suppress the rebellion, how could these two people get together.

"Before the war started that day, I found out that the station's strategy and deployment plan had been lost. In order to lure the traitor, I simply resorted to tricks. I didn't expect it to be the right way, so I disappeared by feigning death, and quietly contacted Bai Aoshuang in Nanzhu, asking him to come and bless me. A helping hand."

"So, Bai Aoshuang's handwriting was also involved in this battle in the eastern border? Then why didn't you mention it in the memorial?" Li Chucheng was surprised. Based on his understanding of Murong Jing, he was definitely not the kind of person who would value petty gains.How could he intentionally not give Bai Aoshuang any credit so that the emperor could award him a reward.

"I didn't let it. I was in the dark, so someone dared to show his feet more blatantly." Bai Aoshuang sat under the palace lantern, her unparalleled beauty was hidden in the dark, and she couldn't see any expression.

Thinking of Bai Aoshuang and Li Chuzhuo five years ago, Li Chucheng sighed and said what Murong Jing once said, "What happened five years ago was just an accident, don't blame yourself too much."

"It's been five years. Even if there is any evidence, it has disappeared without a trace. Therefore, it is not a very wise decision for you to pursue this matter at this time." Murong Jing also disagreed. After staying for a while, he knew why Bai Aoshuang came back.

Bai Aoshuang didn't care about this, she poured a glass of wine, took a sip from her mouth, and said something that seemed a little drunk, "No matter how long it takes, I will find out. Perhaps, the longer time passes, the more lax those people become, and the more Easy to check."

Bai Aoshuang came to Beijing this time for the case of the murder of the former prince five years ago.At that time, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs investigated for a long time, and only came to an unexpected conclusion, which he did not believe.He knew, absolutely not.

Back then, he left Beijing, but he prepared various healing and detoxification pills for Li Chuzhuo to keep by his side.Li Chuzhuo is not a willful person either, it is absolutely impossible for him not to eat those life-saving things after being injured in the hunting ground.Even if Li Chuzhuo lost consciousness, he had explained to everyone around him that he would not let him die like that.

"Okay, you want to check and I will help you!" Seeing that he was so persistent, Li Chucheng also wanted to get involved.Although Li Chuzhuo and he were not born in the same mother's womb, Li Chuzhuo grew up in the Prince's Mansion since he was a child, and Li Chuzhuo taught him the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic word by word.

Whether it was an accident or not, he always wanted an answer.

The next day when the appointment was due, Murong Jing didn't sit down, chatted for a while and got up to leave, Bai Aoshuang followed, Li Chucheng didn't sit down, got up and left Zuixianlou.

Walking in the streets and alleys of the capital, Li Chucheng suddenly felt a little emotional, and didn't want to go back for a while, so he simply walked aimlessly on the street like a night wanderer.Before he knew it, Li Chucheng looked up and found himself in front of the Prince's Mansion.

After the first prince left, the prince's mansion has been empty and has not been redistributed.Li Chucheng liked to sit here for a while when he had nothing to do. It seemed that the prince was just out hunting and would come back later to teach him the thousand-character essay.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the gate of the palace had already been closed, so Li Chucheng simply opened the gate and walked in.It's been five years, and the plants and trees here are still the same, but the people in the mansion have been dispatched to other places long ago. Fortunately, he has someone come over to clean them regularly, so it doesn't mean that he has no place to stay.

Familiar with the way, he found his room back then, and Li Chucheng lay on the bed and wandered away.

Early the next morning, Hou Jingcheng's mansion became busy.I packed and sealed the things I hired yesterday, and today they are just waiting to be carried out the door.

The people in Beijing woke up early in the morning and heard the sound of rituals and music outside, crackling firecrackers, and those who had nothing to do hurried out of their homes to watch the excitement.

Mrs. Jia from the Duke of Meng’s Mansion is a matchmaker and has already taken the lead. It’s not just Mrs. Jia who’s here today, but also Mrs. Zhen from Zhenyanghou’s Mansion and other four blessed people are sitting in front of the carriage to Weiyuanhou’s Mansion. up.The leader in charge of the betrothal gifts at the back seemed to be a housekeeper or something, wearing a tall hat, holding the imperial decree in his hands, and going out all the way, followed by young men in red coats carrying poles behind them, with a load of betrothal cakes at the head , followed by seafood, three animals, fish, coconut, wine, four fruits, four-color sugar and other things that are necessary for ordinary people to hire.How could it be possible that Jingchenghou's mansion only offered such ordinary things?

The common people waited eagerly, waiting for some rare things to be brought out from the gate of Jingcheng Hou's mansion for them to learn more about.

The usual necessary things for the next job were brought out of the door, followed by a box of all kinds of spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes, and another load of jade articles and jade bracelets.The burden of this jewelry is not heavy, but it also contains a lot of delicate thoughts in it.

The mahogany burden is made into seven layers, with patterns of wealth and auspiciousness carved on the outside, and pairs of jade bracelets, jade pendants and other jewelry are placed on each layer.People don't know whether jade ornaments are good or bad, but gold and silver vessels can be seen at a glance.

The gold and silver heads were carried out behind the jade. Na Cai's gold and silver heads were not small that day, but compared with today's ones, they are still a little bit shabby.Six sets of pure gold heads were pressed under the same seven-layered burden, but the golden light reflected from the gaps in the burden was enough to make people unable to take their eyes off, not to mention the two pairs of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets placed on the top of the burden. .

The hollowed out dragon and phoenix gold bracelet lay there quietly, but there was an illusion that it would soar to the nine heavens in the next moment.

"Wow, this Jingchenghou's mansion really paid a lot of money. I haven't seen such a heavy betrothal gift in the capital for many years." There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, feeling that the daughter of Weiyuanhou's mansion is so lucky. .

However, their admiration was not over yet, and they saw the mahogany burden being carried out again.

This time the burden seemed to be much heavier, and the people present obviously saw that the porter's burden was much more bent than the previous dozen or so.After going out, judging from the size of the burden, some people guessed that it was the bride price, otherwise how could it be so heavy.

"I don't think so. You guys have forgotten that when Xiao Jingcheng returned from his expedition to Xiqi a few days ago, he got a natural strange stone. The stone was naturally weathered and formed the four characters Huahaoyueyuan. Originally, this stone was a tribute to the emperor. I was happy and gave this stone to Jing Chenghou. I think it is probably this auspicious stone." Some of the crowd saw that stone four years ago, and couldn't help but tell the truth.

The burden was indeed that strange stone, and that strange stone was extremely hard. Murong Jing had tried chopping with a knife and an ax before when he had nothing to do, but he didn't even get a white seal.The old lady said it was a good omen, the flowers born on the stone were full moon, so hard, it was really suitable as a dowry gift to Ling Yue, symbolizing the incomparable steadfastness of the relationship between the two, so Murong Jing dug it out from the warehouse and packed it up Loaded into the load.

Behind this stone, there are treasures that have been rewarded by the Jingcheng Hou Mansion over the years, exactly 36 dan without the betrothal money.

"Hey, how much dowry is this!" All the dowry went out, and the common people finally saw what they most wanted to see.Real money!
Boxes of real gold and silver were carried out. Someone made a rough estimate, and Jingchenghou's mansion paid a full 1 taels of bride price this time.As for whether it is gold or silver, he said that he didn't see it clearly in the box.

In the Marquis of Weiyuan, Chu Tengyun had already returned overnight. Today, he said that he planned to go to the palace to have a face-to-face meeting, but when he woke up in the morning, an eunuch came to pass an order saying that he should stay at home and go to the palace to face the face-to-face tomorrow.

One day when he was free, Chu Tengyun was naturally happy to accompany Shen Bixiang.

Now the child in Shen Bixiang's womb has been more than five months old, and has been safe and sound, but it's better to keep some mind-consuming and labor-intensive things out of the way.Mama Du took care of Yiying very considerately, but that didn't stop her from getting older and there were some things she couldn't think about.

With him back now, he can naturally share a lot of pressure.

The dowry gifts from Jingcheng Hou's Mansion were filled to the brim, and the courtyard was filled. It had been an hour, and the line of dowry gifts hadn't finished yet. Seeing that Shen Bixiang was sweating a little in the sun, he couldn't help asking Jingcheng Hou's Mansion housekeeper.

"Housekeeper, how much more is there?"

"Go back to Marquis, there's still half of it." The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, he had only seen one who thought the dowry was too little, but hadn't seen one who thought it was too much.

Knowing what Chu Tengyun was worried about, Shen Bixiang pulled his hand and whispered, "I'm fine, it's just that the weather is getting warmer and the sun is getting hotter. The doctor also said that I'm a little weak. Moving around is good for the fetus."

"I think when I married you back then, I just bought some betrothal cakes, seafood and three animals and brought you home. Now that I think about it, I have treated you badly." Seeing her like this, Chu Tengyun was deeply moved. .

"If you feel that you have treated me badly, then you should make up for it tomorrow." Shen Bixiang smiled slightly, and put her soft hand into Chu Tengyun's. "But I'm afraid you won't have a chance. Now all the things in your house belong to me. It's so boring to send them back and forth."

Chu Tengyun smiled, and moved a little to block the glare of the sun for her.

"Look, Lord Hou and Madam are so loving, in the future, Hou Jingcheng and Ling Yue will naturally grow old together and love each other for a hundred years." Shi Zhen and the other three blessed people looked at the two standing together with smiles, and then pulled Chu Ling Yue teased.
