Chapter 142

The rewards from the palace were piled up neatly in her room.

There are gold, silver, silk and satin, as well as jade and agate.

All of them come from Shen Zhiyi, the princess of LeYang.

Jiang Xuening returns to the house from the outside. Tang'er and lian'er haven't seen their own girls for a long time. When she comes back, she is so thin, and her face is not good. They are so emaciated that they can't help talking about it.

Ask on the left and read on the right.

Jiang Xuening didn't answer a word. After they waited on them to wash, they didn't even ask about the recent situation in Beijing, so they sent them out and sat alone in the room.

A candle was burning on the desk.

Jiang Xuening watched the jumping fire for a long time. A drop of candle tears fell down the edge of the candle. She blinked.

Everything is quiet.

She got up and went to the dressing table. Her face, which was not made of powder, was reflected in the mirror.

There was a soft bang.

It was she who opened the long-standing dowry, opened the bottom of the box, and wrapped a good Hetian green jade bracelet in a pink handkerchief.

"Ning Ning, aunt, please do something. If you go back to the mansion and see the big girl, please give this to her for me..."

Wan Niang's sad face flashed back to her when she was dying.

She clenched her hand, a pair of earthly rolling eyes wide open, as if afraid that she would not agree, as if full of guilt and pain.

But for whom?

Jiang Xuening recalled that he could not be sure.

How she wished there was a star and a half of her own.

But until Wan Niang lost her breath, the servants from the capital broke off her and still held her hand. She didn't wait for the answer she wanted.

"Is there nothing left for me..."

She took the bracelet out of the dowry and looked at it for a long time with her back to the candlelight shining on her desk. After all, a line of tears rolled down her eyes, but a smile spilled over her lips.

Fingers slowly clenched the bracelet.

There was a moment when she wanted to drop it.

As if it never existed.

But the moment I raised my hand, I felt that I was unbearable and despicable, and the more ridiculous sadness set off by the two photos

"Hiss."

So he really laughed.

After all, Jiang Xuening threw the bracelet on the case and slowly lay back on the bed, but she couldn't sleep with her eyes open.

the capital in the new year is a busy time.

The lantern festival lasted for three days, visiting relatives of relatives, shopping in the shopping mall.

Although the weather is suddenly cold, it's hard to walk everywhere with people.

Teahouses and restaurants are full of idle masters who walk birds and fight crickets in the street on weekdays. When they sit down, they are bound to be full of nonsense.

In fact, it's just a trifle.

But this year, an unusual one came.

Last night, LV Xian had a bad meal at Xie Wei's place. He didn't sleep well all night, so he got up early and was ready to go to Shuxiang inn to see how the silver stock of Ren's salt market was going up.

It's just that it's too early. The news about silver stocks hasn't come yet.

He ordered a bowl of tea and sat upstairs. He happened to eat a handful of melon seeds and listen to the people downstairs.

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard that."

"I heard that, too."

"Ha ha, isn't that lucky people have their own way of life? Good people are rewarded after all!"

"Oh, what are you doing in the morning?"

"You don't know yet?"

"I've heard nothing about Beijing lately, but I'm so confused? Is it to wipe out the heavenly religion? "

"It doesn't matter. It's not this one."

"What on earth?"

"Ha ha ha, master Zhou arrived in the capital seven or eight years ago. I don't know it's normal. You're very kind. Don't make fun of him. It's the one who is definitely not the son of the world. I can't believe that he can come back alive. I don't know how much suffering I've suffered and how many evils I've suffered outside during these years! "

"The three hundred tombs of Bai Tong Temple..."

Mr. Zhou, sitting at the bottom of the table, became more and more confused. He couldn't help asking the whole story.

Only then did the older one explain to him with some ostentation.

So it was told before and after the rebellion of the king of Pingnan.

Lu Xian listen, nothing more than that.

The king of Pingnan broke into the capital and the palace, but he didn't catch the prince at that time. So he came up with a cruel way to catch all the children of the right age in the capital to identify them. When he found that they were not all, he threatened the queen and Prince hiding in the capital with their lives.A total of 300 people, where can parents see children like this?

There was a cry in the city.

"It's winter. It's really pitiful. The common people are kneeling down on the long street, begging for help from the opposition party. It's good to catch them, not the children. Oh, I was also listening to that. Was it really worrying? You say, but for all individuals, who can listen to a little compassion? It can be seen that the grandson of Pingnan Wang is a beast!

"Your Highness, how can you be coerced?

"If he wants to fall into the hands of the opposition party, his treachery will succeed, and our great Qianchao will be over? At this critical moment, loyal officials and good generals can be relied on. "

Master Zhou was stunned: "isn't that the one you call" dingfeishizi "

"Isn't it?

"At that time, the youngest son was only seven years old. His father was the new Duke of the Xiao family in Dingguo mansion, and his mother was the apple of the eye of the old Duke of Yongyi's mansion. He was born with gold and jade in his mouth. He was very smart. I heard that he was a child prodigy who would never forget except learning piano slowly. When the late emperor was here, the Duke of the state had already appointed a son for him. In the future, he was determined to inherit the government. Before something happened to Yongyi's residence, listen to that young Marquis Yan, isn't he?

"But if I say it, it's still a long way from the time when I was a certain son of the world."

There was a stir among the listeners.

Lu Xian is listening to music upstairs.

This man speaks vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. That's right. It's just that man's piano

Eyebrow lightly a Cu, his in the mind not from scold a: the person compares a person can really his Niang annoy to death.

Downstairs, everyone's ears stood up.

Even the shopkeeper forgot to make an abacus and looked up.

The speaker took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued: "at that time, Dingfei Shizi was very popular with the empress of the palace. When the accident happened, he was in the palace with Mrs. Yan. Naturally, he protected his royal highness and hid with her. How else can we say that Xiao Yan and his family are loyal and devoted? At that time, it was the lives of 300 innocent children and his royal highness, who was in danger. Dingfei, who was only seven years old at that time, took the initiative to stand up and change his robes with his royal highness! "

In the field, many people were surprised to "ah", obviously they all guessed a few points.

That person then way: "yes, this is a Li Dai Tao Jiang's method unexpectedly! Dingfei's son has been walking in the palace since he was a child. Eunuchs all know him and are familiar with the etiquette in the palace. He is seven years old. He is the same age as his eight year old royal highness. His body size is not far different, and he is extremely alert. If he pretends to be the crown prince and takes the initiative to appear in front of the rebellious Party of the king of Pingnan and let the king of Pingnan release the children, it will be a fortune. "

Master Zhou thought of something: "but the forest of Steles in Baita temple..."

Someone answered: "the king of Pingnan and other vicious people, once they think they have the prince, where will they leave others alive? Of course, they were all killed. When the reinforcements came into the city, they decided that it was not Shizi who could coerce them. It was only then that they found out that they were fake. In a fit of anger, they also killed them! Only a seven-year-old child, zhilanyushu has not yet grown up, but has been killed by this accident! The people of Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan dug for a long time in the frozen corpse mountain at the gate of the palace, only to find the Dragon Pendant and the clothes he wore when he pretended to be the crown prince. The rest are all broken limbs and bones, but I don't know whose family he belongs to... "

"Do evil!"

"It's said that in those months, there were children crying all the time in the capital. It's creepy. It was not until the imperial court collected the bones of these poor children and buried them in the White Pagoda Temple next to the Chaoyin Pavilion, erected a forest of Steles, engraved their names, and asked the eminent monks in the temple to chant sutras day and night for seventy-nine to forty-nine months that the evil spirit of unjust death was given away, and the spirits of these children were beyond the limit.... "

"But now it must not be the son of the world?"

Obviously, the man also thought it was a miracle, so he could not help smacking his mouth and said, "that's not true! I got up early this morning and spread it all over the capital. I can't believe there is such a thing in the world! But it's reasonable to think about it. After all, Mrs. Yan said she didn't find anyone. There are clothes and jade pendants. When the snow melts, the flesh and blood will be blurred as soon as people touch it. No one can recognize a person. Everyone's children are almost the same. It's said that it's very miserable. It seems that it fell into the hands of the heavenly sect. Thanks to Lord Xie, the young teacher of the current Dynasty, he saved people this time. It can be seen that heaven has eyes. These loyal and good officials have great fortune and great destiny after all! "

The word "Fu Bao" is the letter from shijingli.

Hearing this, the man nodded his head to express his happiness, but he was a little happy for the prince.

But Lu Xian, who was sitting upstairs, gave a lukewarm smile and suddenly put in a sentence: "brother downstairs knows a lot. How can he see it with his own eyes? Is it difficult to be an official in the palace at that time? "

The man didn't expect anyone to pick on him.

Looking up, it turned out to be the owner of youhuang hall. He couldn't help straightening his face. He quickly got up and arched his hands. He said with a smile: "well, I'm just hearsay. Can I have a good time for you? But you're right. I heard the news when a eunuch who worked as a servant in the palace was released. However, he was not in good health. He finally came out of the palace with money. Not long after that, he fell ill and died. It's a shame to say that I owe my fortune to the money he left behind. "This man is not a big man among the businessmen in the capital. After all, there are more powerful people under the emperor's feet.

But no one thought that there was such a source in the middle. They were surprised.

However, a few people knew him, but they knew that what he said was not false.

Although LV Xian was a businessman, he was a poor Jinshi in the Imperial Academy at that time. On the other hand, he secretly did some bullshit for Xie Wei. His heart twists and turns again and again. It's not as simple as this man below.

Although the man knew what to say, he recognized the clue.

A eunuch who was once a messenger in the palace and was released after knowing about this matter, won't he die fast?

He took another melon seed and raised his eyebrows with great interest: "if you say so, it must have been that Shizi was with his mother, Mrs. Yan. It's reasonable that Shizi took the initiative to sacrifice his life to save the Lord. Mrs. Yan should know and agree. But how can I hear that soon after the siege of the capital was lifted, Mrs. Yan fell out with Duke Xiao and went directly back to the Marquis's house. There was no more contact between the two families? "

The next man was stunned.

Other people were also shocked: previously, just listening to people talk lively, how was this asked, I really think it's a bit strange?

Someone tried to say: "boss Lu, do you know something about it?"

Lu Xian turned his eyes and said, "I want to know what else to ask you to do!"

This appearance really couldn't be more real, so the people were relieved, and then they thought: where can the ordinary people know about the affairs of the heavenly family? The only one who can be pitiful is the innocent children buried in the snow.

*

in the early morning, the cold sunlight rose from the East and slanted on the white marble railings in front of the imperial palace.

The ministers have arrived, and they are standing in silence.

Emperor Shen Lang was wearing a dark five clawed Golden Dragon Robe and twelve Diaoyuan crowns. He was sitting on the Dragon chair behind the imperial court. His face was dark in the Jinluan palace.

Xie Wei's formal and dignified court clothes are rare in the lower left column of Wen Chen. Compared with his usual Taoist robes, Xie Wei is less reclusive and broad-minded. However, he still does not damage his profound spirit, but appears to be a little more sharp.

But it's still just right.

With a smile floating on his face, he only raised his eyes and looked at Shen Lang, and his voice reminded him in a shallow voice: "my Lord, it must have been a long time since my son was waiting outside the hall."
