Too Reckless

Chapter 33: Looks like I'm not here at the right time

At noon, the morning meeting had just dispersed.

Jiang Yi returned to Fuyan Palace as usual, prepared to rest and eat, and then went to the imperial study to grade the book.

Just halfway through the meal, a bird suddenly landed on the windowsill, flapping its wings and chirping, with a bamboo tube tied to its legs.

The capital is 30 miles away from Xihuang Valley, which is not far away, but Jiang Yi has been helping to handle the affairs of the state in recent years.

Jiang Yi has been practicing with Wu Qingwan since she was six years old. She has deep feelings for Wu Qingwan, who is also a teacher and mother. After leaving the Phoenix Valley, she often used the method of flying pigeons to pass down books.

Seeing the familiar little bird, Jiang Yi knew that Wu Qingwan had written a letter. She put down her chopsticks and stood up, took out the note and glanced at it. It only said that Zuo Lingquan had returned to the city, and there was nothing else.

Jiang Yi was a little puzzled, but soon, she understood what Wu Qingwan meant - my aunt must be worried about her marriage, so when Zuo Lingquan came back, she informed her in advance, lest Zuo Lingquan could not enter the palace and she was on official business again Busy, the two can't enhance their relationship.

I don't like him, and I'm not serious, what do I do when I see that fellow...

Jiang Yi put away the note and continued to eat with a look of indifference.

But after eating two bites, I started to think about being beaten in Linhefang, and the quarrel that I never quarreled about.

Naturally, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't eat any more.

Jiang Yi put down her chopsticks and was silent for a long time by herself, but she still asked:

"Leng Zhu, Zuo Lingquan has returned to the city, where is he now?"

"I'll go and find out."

When the palace maid Leng Zhu heard the sound, she hurriedly ran down.

The entire capital belonged to Jiang Yi, with eyeliner everywhere, Zuo Lingquan did not hide his whereabouts, so it was easy to find.

After about two quarters of an hour, Leng Zhu ran back with a strange look on Guazi's face, and said:

"Princess, the people below said that Zuo Gongzi went to Xianzhizhai half an hour ago. It seems that he spent a lot of money and bought the signature rouge 'Safflower Nectar' there. Princess, how did Zuo Gongzi know that you like safflower honey the most?"

?

Jiang Yi raised her eyes, her face was full of surprises, and the grudge in her heart just now disappeared for some reason.

She pursed her lips, thought for a while before humming:

"It must have been my aunt who told him, huh, how decent is it for a big man to go and buy rouge."

Leng Zhu has accompanied Jiang Yi since childhood, and he can still see a little of his thoughts. He smiled and said:

"Young Master Zuo is also kind, and besides, what's the point of buying rouge for a woman, it shows that he cares about it. The son of the noble family in the capital never bought it for the person he likes, does the princess say so?"

Jiang Yi's expression was cold, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked again:

"Where is he now?"

"We went to Linhefang with Zuo Yunting. They should still be there now."

Jiang Yi said with some disgust: "Why does he mix with that ignorant and ignorant person?"

"That's his brother."

"Oh, also."

Only when Jiang Yi remembered this, she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, then changed her words:

"It's not a family. If you don't enter a family, you're a raccoon dog. Hmph... You go down first. I'm tired. I'll sleep for a while, and I'll review it at night."

Leng Zhu could guess what the princess was going to do with her buttocks, which could be broken by blowing bullets.

After Jiang Yi waited for the palace maid to retreat, she got up and went to the bedroom, ready to change her clothes, and went out to the palace to have a look according to her aunt's wishes, but she was a little hesitant when she thought about the rouge - since Zuo Lingquan bought the rouge, she would definitely give it away She, although she doesn't like Zuo Lingquan, but the concubine she ordered by herself, it doesn't seem very good if she doesn't accept it, and she may be nagged by her aunt;

Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, and felt that it was better to compromise. She also gave Zuo Lingquan something, so that the two sides would be even, and no one would owe anyone, and the auntie would be able to avoid nagging.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yi felt that it was feasible, turned around and came to the side hall, and opened the secret door on the wall.

Behind the secret door is a large stone room, which contains many desks, on which are displayed all kinds of quirky objects related to cultivation—dharma tools, talismans, medicinal pills, books, etc., as well as a large pile of white jade baht in boxes.

Although the Great Dan Dynasty was poor in materials, it was still a dynasty after all. It had traded with Dayan for a hundred years, and no matter how poor it was, it still had some wealth.

However, most of the good things accumulated over the generations were given to Xihuang Valley, and the rest were kept in the treasury for emergencies. Jiang Yigui, as the regent princess, could not move around. These in the stone room were all collected by her over the past few years.

Jiang Yi came to the inner side of the stone room, took a talisman clip made of deerskin, and opened the small wooden box on the desk.

The wooden box is of good quality, with the Coiling Dragon badge engraved on the top, and ten white talismans neatly listed inside.

Ninety percent of the monks of the Great Dan Dynasty were disciples and grandchildren of Qihuang Valley, and Qihuang Valley only learned swordsmanship from Jingtai, so there are not many people in the entire Great Dan Dynasty who can draw and concoct alchemy. It is also pitifully low.

And the set of talismans in the box is the 'Worry-Free Talisman' made by Fulongshan, one of the nine southern sects.

The Worry-Free Talisman is a mid-grade talisman. After being stimulated by one's own infuriating energy, it will be drawn by the infuriating energy of the person who uses the talisman, and will surround itself by itself. When attacked, it will explode on its own, and hit the surrounding area with air waves. Without defense, breaking the defense can inevitably reduce the destructive power and widen the distance; as long as you bring a card with basically no worries, the name also comes from this.

Even in the vast Dayan Dynasty, when practitioners mentioned the things produced by the nine sects in the south, the impression was just two words, one is good, and the other is expensive.

The ten talismans in the box were bought at the Xianjia Market outside, and the price was ten white jade baht.

Ten white jade baht doesn't sound like much, but if you can find a place to exchange one white jade baht, the average price is about one hundred taels of silver. One tael of silver can buy 120 catties of rice in the Great Dan Dynasty, 100 taels is 12,000 catties, and ten white jade baht is 120,000 catties of rice, enough to feed 500 people for a year.

Moreover, most of the silver can't be exchanged for white jade baht. The price of ten white jade baht is not available to ordinary scattered repairers and small sects. They are all reserved by major sects. Very few can flow out.

Jiang Yi's box of 'Worry-Free Talismans' was brought to her in the Phoenix Valley when she was a child. Her father and mother loved her too much, so they tried to get it for her. It is self-evident how precious it is.

Jiang Yi looked at the wooden box, hesitated for a moment, and took one from the inside. After thinking about it, she felt that it was too stingy and didn't fit her eldest princess's bearing. In the end, she took three of them, put them in the talisman holder, and took them from there. In the box, I took three white jade baht and put it in it...

————

After a while.

On the wide long street outside the imperial city, Jiang Yi, dressed in a black robe, rode a horse toward the water gate, and soon came to Linhefang at the corner of the city.

Passing through the gate, Jiang Yi went directly to the place where he was beaten last time, and then started to look around.

The Tang family restaurant is near the pier. Jiang Yi walked a few steps, and then saw the famous big smart in the capital, riding a small black donkey and strolling on the street, next to a bad old man dressed up in the rivers and lakes.

Jiang Yi's eyes were slightly dark, and she didn't bother to scold Zuo Yunting, the future cousin, so she got off the horse and walked outside the small restaurant on foot.

Jiang Yi knew that Tang Jingxuan was the proprietress of this restaurant, but Zuo Lingquan proved his innocence last time, and he came over in the daytime with Zuo Yunting. I didn't think much of it.

But what Jiang Yi never expected was that as soon as she walked to the window, she saw a handsome and well-dressed young man standing in the corner of the wine shop, and in front of her was a woman with a sweet smile.

Although the woman wears a bead hairpin cloth skirt, her body is simple and clean, her cheeks are fair and her eyebrows are attractive, and her whole body exudes the charm of a woman, especially her bulging skirt and sturdy waist, which makes women jealous.

Hu Meizi…

Jiang Yi frowned. She didn't know why the word flashed in her mind. Her eyes darkened slightly, and she walked to the door and coughed lightly.

In the restaurant, Tang Jingxuan, who was fighting with Zuo Lingquan, raised his head. He thought it was a handsome young man in a black robe, but when he swept down, he found the size of the front of the robe.

Such a handsome girl, why do you wear men's clothes...

Tang Jingxun muttered something, thinking it was a guest who came to drink, and hurriedly greeted:

"Guest officer, come in and take a seat. I was so busy that I didn't pay attention, but I neglected the guest officer."

While talking, Tang Jingxuan put the rouge box into her arms, and turned around to get warm wine.

Jiang Yi's eyes were like torches, she saw the rouge box, and recognized which rouge it was, her eyes froze for a moment - my God! How dare he? Didn't you buy this for me? So if I come here now, don't I look like a fool?

Jiang Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. She raised her hand to touch the sword on her waist, but when she came over just now, in order to appear more ladylike, the sword was hung on the side of the horse and she didn't take it at all.

Zuo Lingquan turned his head and saw Jiang Yi standing at the door. He was stunned for a while, then returned to normal, and said with a smile:

"Brother Long, why are you here?"

Jiang Yi could not wait to kick Zuo Lingquan to death, but in front of outsiders, she still had to maintain her composure, she just said coldly:

"Looks like I'm not here at the right time."

Before Zuo Lingquan could answer the call, Tang Jingshen, who was taking the wine, paused, glanced at Jiang Yi again, and asked:

"Master Zuo, is this your friend?"

Jiang Yi took a breath, and noticed Tang Jingshen from the corner of her eye. She didn't know if it was out of a comparison mentality. She raised her chest subconsciously and walked into the restaurant:

"Not friends, just acquaintances."

A woman's mind is inherently delicate, and Tang Jingshen is even more so. Just from the act of holding her chest up, she can see that this woman has an unusual relationship with Zuo Lingquan.

Tang Jingxuan didn't think that when the eldest princess of the dynasty, she would walk around the market alone, and even treat her as a fox. Just thinking of it as Zuo Lingquan's former confidante, her eyes were a little weird. After she took the pot of wine and put it on the table, she took a stack of melon seeds and sat next to it to watch the play.

Zuo Lingquan came to Jiang Yi and tilted his head to look at it:

"Brother Long, you don't seem to be in a good mood, what's wrong?"

What do you say? Jiang Yi sat down at the wine table, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com frowned and said unhappily:

"Young Master Zuo is upright in Qiyuntai. I didn't expect that when I came here, I saw..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Tang Jingxuan, who was sitting in the distance eating melon seeds—this old woman, being so arrogant after being arrested, is really deceiving...

Seeing Jiang Yi's eyes, Tang Jingxuan understood what she was thinking, and joked generously:

"Girl, I have nothing to do with Zuo Gongzi, don't be jealous."

Jealous? !

Jiang Yi's face darkened slightly, and she said dissatisfiedly:

"Why am I jealous? How can you speak so freely, woman?"

"Hey, woman? How old are you younger than me? Can such a big girl not speak?"

"Who do you say can't speak?"

"Look at Xiao Zuo, she is killing me! With such a bad temper, how did you meet her?"

"you…"

In two sentences, the restaurant exploded.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't get in on what he said, so he had to block his sight between the two:

"Why the quarrel. Brother Long, let's go out and talk. Sister Tang, thanks to your hospitality, I'll go first."

Tang Jingxuan didn't like that fiery-tempered woman very much, so she didn't bring any as a gift. She got up and walked to the back room, waving her hand:

"If you come here often in the future, this girl will be spared. Sister, my small shop can't accommodate it."

"You think I can't make it?"

Zuo Lingquan quickly raised his hand and motioned Jiang Yi to leave:

"Alright, alright, there are neighbors around, so what's the noise."

Jiang Yi's chest was ups and downs, she raised her boots and stepped on Zuo Lingquan's feet, turned her head and walked out with heavy steps.

Zuo Lingquan put his feet away quickly and was not stepped on. He turned around to say goodbye to Tang Jingshen, and followed him out the door.
