Capture the Jade

Mrs. Anguo was so angry that she couldn't break free for a while, she simply grabbed the girl beside her before the thing locked her: "Children whose teeth have not yet fallen, dare to use this insidious method to plot against me, why not tie me up? I'll take her to the funeral immediately."

Just as her arm was about to stretch, something was suddenly stabbed in front of her. The blade of the sword was green and cold, and it was the jade sword that made her suffer a lot earlier.

Teng Yuyi was able to move as early as when Mrs. Anguo was distracted. The attack on this monster was not to worry about the girl's safety, but to want the monster to die immediately.

She held the most vengeance in her life. She wished to smash this thing to ashes early on.

However, before she could stab the monster's left claw, the rope tightened suddenly, and Mrs. Anguo's eyes bulged, and she was pulled off the ground at once.

The barrier was broken, the ladies were so frightened that their faces turned pale, the yard was in chaos, the rope went around in a circle, and the end jumped back to the boy's hand, he smiled and tied the monster, and threw something to Teng Yuyi: "Take this Medicine was given to the wounded."

Teng Yu received the medicine bottle by accident, and looked at the man carefully. He was wearing a white jade crown, a gold sword hanging from his waist, a purple robe, and blue socks (Note 1). According to the regulations of this dynasty, this is a prince-level dress.

Looking at his appearance again, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is tall and handsome, handsome and handsome. If it weren't for the bad smile on his face, he would be a rare and beautiful man.

Teng Yuyi had already recognized who this person was, the nephew of the current emperor, the eldest son of the Chengwang couple, a well-known clan son who was loved by thousands of people: Lin Chengyou.

Teng Yuyi glanced at him, turned around and dragged her aunt, who was still a little stunned, into the house: "Thank you, Shizi."

The only time she had dealings with Lin Chengyou in her previous life was at the flower viewing banquet at the Jade Zhennu Temple.

At that time, the Teng family had already retired, and his father was still supervising the army in Huainan Road. In order to take care of his sick aunt, Teng Yuyi voluntarily stayed in the ancestral house of Chang'an Yanshoufang. When she saw the letter from her father from Huainan Road, she didn't know what to do, and secretly guessed that it had something to do with her father's transfer back to Beijing.

At that time, the cause of death of her cousin was still unknown. She served in front of her aunt's sick bed every day. Because of her depression, she had not traveled for a long time. That day, the steward brought the post and she didn't want to go, but she heard that the person hosting the banquet was the queen, so she began to prepare for it.

As Teng Yuyi expected, the flower viewing event was unprecedentedly lively, and the ladies dressed up and gathered in groups. It is said that not only the queen, but also Princess Cheng, who has been traveling abroad for many years, also came.

Teng Yuyi went with the ladies to visit the Empress and Princess Cheng, when suddenly someone whispered, "Look, that's Prince Cheng."

Teng Yuyi followed and looked over, just in time to see a handsome and suave boy walking through the garden.

This person is wearing a light robe with arrow sleeves and a golden bow on his arm. He doesn't look like he's coming to a banquet, but rather like he wants to leave here to hunt at any time.

"Yeah, he doesn't look like he's here to see the lady, like he's here to play."

"I heard that he was going to fight Ma Yu, but was temporarily escorted by Princess Cheng."

The banquet officially started. Teng Yuyi followed the girls to play the piano, drink tea, and admire flowers. Because she vaguely guessed the meaning behind the queen's holding of this poetry meeting, she performed perfectly. When chatting with pearls and jade, and composing poems, don’t get out of the way. Even when dealing with servants in secluded corners, you are more gentle and patient than usual.

After the poetry meeting, the queen and Princess Cheng deliberately invited Teng Yuyi to come forward, she answered a lot of questions quietly, and when she came out, she heard the palace people talking: "I guess it is the little lady of General Teng's family, and this person's appearance is too attractive. Look, don't look at the arrogance of the prince, after all, at the age of enlightenment, if he saw the little lady of the Teng family with his own eyes, he would most likely be tempted."

"Yeah, looking at the appearance of the princess, it seems that she is also very satisfied with the Teng family. The little prince is not afraid of anyone, just his grandfather and mother. If the prince is present, the prince will not dare to mess around. If the prince dares to run away this time, he will be punished. The princess was beaten hard."

Teng Yuyi felt very fresh. She grew up so big, and it was the first time she heard of a princess who would beat up her son herself. She wanted to look at the princess who was sitting on the top again, but the queen ordered them to take them to the garden to enjoy the autumn. chrysanthemum.

When passing by Pinecui Pavilion, Teng Yuyi caught a glimpse of a number of luxuriously dressed young men sitting in the pavilion. The breeze blew the bamboo curtain, and dozens of gazes were cast from the seat.

Teng Yuyi walked without squinting. It was the late autumn season. The drizzle fell silently, and there was a fluffy coolness on her face. When she returned to Teng Mansion that night, she recalled the time when Empress Bairi and Concubine Cheng took her to ask questions. The situation is already in the mind.

She has no admiration for this Prince Cheng, but the ladies secretly tease him. The one who talks the most is Prince Cheng. She listens with her ears pricked up while drinking tea. place of people.

This time, there are so many clan children to choose a concubine, she Teng Yuyi can't bow down, so she has to choose the best one.

She took off her hairpin calmly, and inquired about the news the next day. The queen and the princess took her portrait to ask for advice. Lin Chengyou only had two merciless words: not marrying.

At that time, Teng Yuyi was rolling up her sleeves to make incense with white honey, and accidentally knocked over the incense cup.

not marry? She may not be willing to marry yet. It must be the death of her cousin and the illness of her aunt that disturbed her mood, which is why she lost her head and went to participate in the election of the clan's children.

In fact, she had thought about it for a long time in the past two days. She had never met, and she had no idea about her temperament. All the things she heard that day were just what the person looked like in the eyes of outsiders. It's a good match, but it's a lifetime.

She lost her mother at the age of five, and her father, Nanzheng and Beizhan, was not around. Over the years, she has long been accustomed to controlling everything by herself. Marriage is not a child's play, and of course it is no exception. and.

She raised her head and laughed three times, and she forgot about it in a blink of an eye. The next day, she went to the Du residence to serve her aunt as usual, and returned to the residence at night to make camel's hoof soup.

The fragrant soup and glutinous rice served with Sanle paste bought from a Persian wine shop is really a delicacy that can only be eaten by gods.

After she was full of food and drink, she went to take a bath in the Dendrobium bath. She had twisted the towel well, but two words suddenly appeared in her mind: "Don't marry."

Ah. Immediately, she lost her interest, and threw the towel back into the water with a sullen face.

Bai Zhi and Bi Luo slipped aside and whispered: Today, the lady is angry for some reason, and her cheeks are bulging all day.

joke! She was clearly in a good mood. She put on her clothes and went back to the room in a hurry, but when she got to bed, there was an extremely uncomfortable itching sensation on her back.

This itch is neither on the bone nor on the skin. If you stretch it out to scratch it, you may not find a place, but if you don't care about it, it will come out from time to time for a while. In the final analysis, one sentence: if you are not happy, you are not happy all over.

This unpleasant feeling lasted for three days, until she was thinking about doing something to find her way back. At this moment, her aunt's condition suddenly worsened.

She served the medicine stone without sleep. She had hoped that her aunt would get better, but the more she managed, the worse she became.

The medical officers were all helpless, and her uncle and cousin were worried. In a hurry, she sent a letter to her father, saying that the medical officers she had hired earlier were useless, and begged him to find a solution as soon as possible.

Since A-Niang passed away, she has been begging her father several times because she hated her father for never writing to him, all because of her aunt's illness.

She didn't want her aunt to die. Auntie left early. Fortunately, her aunt and cousin took good care of her. If even her aunt left, wouldn't she be alone again.

As expected, my father rushed back to Chang Ye, and invited Yu Fengyu from the Shang Pharmacy to check the pulse that night. Unfortunately, it was too late. My aunt's disease was so severe that it was useless to delay these days.

The night my aunt left, my uncle and cousin were weeping in front of the coffin. She knelt down, knowing that it was useless to cry. She had already tasted it when she was five years old. Just lay silently in the coffin.

I remember the night my mother died, she stood in the mourning hall and patted the cold wooden board with her small hands.

"Auntie, Ayu won't make you angry anymore."

"A-Niang, A-Niang, get up and look at A-Yu."

The house was too chaotic, so she climbed onto the coffin while people were not paying attention. Her mother was dressed in full clothes, with yellow flowers on her temples. Her quiet and beautiful face was the same as usual.

She clumsily crawled in and stretched out her fat arm to her mother: "Aniang, hold Ayu to sleep."

Her mother ignored her, she sobbed softly, pressed her head to her mother's chest, clenched her small fists and said, "A-niang, don't be angry, A-Yu is good, A-Yu helps A-Niang beat women."

She fantasized that her mother would take care of her when she woke up, snuggled in her mother's arms, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Perhaps it was the prayer in her heart that played a role, and she fell into a warm chest while she was half asleep, but when she opened her eyes in surprise, she met her father's haggard face full of stubble.

The father's expression was sad, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

She was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered the woman next to her father, she couldn't help crying: "I don't want grandpa! Grandpa is a bad person! I don't want grandpa to hug me!"

The father burst into tears, knees short, hugged her and knelt in front of the coffin, no matter how she cried, she was silent like a mountain.

She sobbed loudly, and at that moment, she finally realized that her mother would never come back, and the taste of fear expanded infinitely, like a boulder pressing on her chest, she kicked and beat her father, screaming: "Grandpa is a bad person! It's you! The disease that caused my mother to suffer!"

Recalling this, the feeling of sadness and resentment came up like a tide. She grabbed the collar of Rushang in a daze, and suddenly someone shouted in her ear: "Ayu, Ayu!"

Teng Yuyi came back to her senses, looking at her aunt's face that was similar to her mother's, her heart was filled with sorrow, she sobbed and plunged into her aunt's arms: "Aunt."

Mrs. Du stayed for a while, then her expression softened, she raised her hand as if to coax a child, and stroked the back of Teng Yuyi's head: "Good boy, what's the matter? It must be that monster that scared you. Aunt is here, don't be afraid of anything."

As soon as they entered the room, the medicine bottle Lin Chengyou gave was in his hand. Teng Yuyi looked around, quickly calmed down, opened the bottle cap, and poured out three medicinal pills at once: "Aunt, let's take the medicine separately first."

Mrs. Du was overjoyed, said "hey", and made arrangements by herself.

Duanfu was lying under the porch, Teng Yuyi took the medicine and went outside to save people, the steward of Dongxian's family rushed up in three steps and two steps, and laughed dryly: "Miss Teng, the old servant said something wrong, The old slave kowtows to the lady to make amends, but my second mother is anxiously waiting for help, Mrs. Teng, please give the medicine to the old slave."

Teng Yuyi glanced at her, the master and servant did a lot of wicked things, and she was not innocent at all, but after all, it was a life, and it seemed a bit unreasonable to openly see death, so she smiled slightly and opened the bottle cap generously. Zhi only poured out one pill, and it was empty.

There are still two people injured, how can one be divided? The steward's face changed a bit. There was only an old servant there, and it was no big deal to die. Since there was only one pill, of course, she had to leave it to her second mother, so she hurried forward to **** it: "The old servant will thank the second mother first. pass!"

Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi slanted, grabbed the medicine and ran to Duanfu.

The lady in charge was stunned, seeing Teng Yuyi running away, she stomped her feet in exasperation, turned around and went down the steps, looking at Lin Chengyou with tears in her eyes: "Sir, my second mother's life is on the verge of death. Don't live up to the noble act of the prince in vain."

Lin Chengyou didn't respond, the lady in charge swallowed her saliva, the lady was anxiously waiting for help, she couldn't let the little lady of the Teng family make random arrangements, she knew that there were monsters over there, but she still braved it.

"Sir, that medicine pill..."

Inadvertently glanced into the courtyard, she shivered with fright, and saw that Mrs. Anguo's face was indescribably strange, and the milky white background revealed a bright color, not like a human face, but like a first-class Xingyao kiln. White porcelain, the eye sockets are as if smeared with bright rouge, and the drunkenness reveals a ferocious drunkenness.

Mrs. An Guogong had a talisman paper on her mouth, and she only wanted to be speechless. She stared at Lin Chengyou for a moment, and suddenly smiled silently.

When she smiled, the curtains in front of the courtyard rose without wind, and black clouds poured in from all directions.

The steward lady's legs were straight and weak. This scene reminded people of a peony swaying in the wind. How beautiful that face was before, and how terrifying it was now.

Just when I didn't know what to do, there was a sudden change under my feet. I looked down and saw a lot of colorful flower branches sprouting from the ground. The branches and leaves swayed, as if they were smelling something. When I turned my head and found the lady in charge, they rushed up.

The lady in charge was so frightened that she stepped back again and again, but the flower branch climbed up along her legs, and the more she struggled, the tighter it became.

"Sir, help, help!"

Lin Chengyou's sneering smile disappeared, leaped to the roof beam, and looked around without saying a word, until the lady in charge was so frightened that she was about to come out, and then she threw a talisman: "Can you get out? ?"

The talisman hit the courtyard, splashing out a scorching stench, the flower branches couldn't dodge in time, and most of them were burnt to black.

The lady in charge loosened her feet and hurriedly crawled down the corridor: "Go away, this old slave is going to go away."

She knew that Lin Chengyou could have rescued her a long time ago, so she was suffering because she thought she was in the way. It is said that this prince is not easy to mess with, tonight is enough to learn.

The author has something to say: 1. The relevant regulations on the costumes of princes and princes in "Old Tang Book. Yufu Zhi" are referenced here.

In the Tang Dynasty, purple was the most respected clothing. Since the Wude period, it was stipulated that only "princes and officials above the third rank" could wear purple uniforms.

Accompanying the emperor to the moonlight pavilion to watch the **** is a formal event, so Ah Da wore the most coquettish purple hahahahahaha.

2 Camel hoof soup is a famous delicacy in the Tang Dynasty. Sanle jelly is a fine wine brewed by the Persians. It is brewed from three kinds of fruits: Ammol, Pilile, and Harira, so it is called Sanle jelly. (See Supplementary History of the Tang Kingdom for details.
