Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks

 It is finely carved into a circle, with some images of flowers, birds, mountains and rivers in the middle.

    This is the standard for all except one.

    The Yin family, the little master of the West Palace, does not enter the genealogy, nor the ancestral temple. Naturally, the front of the inscription does not have its own characters, only the back circle is engraved with "Kun made Yuande Year October 20th Lucky at the time of the hour", and an unopened flower.

    This is the inscription in his hand.

    Shen Zhiluo was stunned for a moment, and then his face became a little ugly: "Why are you holding this."

    "I'm curious too." Chang Gui touched the silk sash hanging on the jade with a strange expression, and raised his eyelids to look at him, "Why is there one from the West Palace in the first prince's relics? Ming Pei?"

    In Chang Gui's eyes, Yin Ninghuai and Xigong are inseparable. If this thing can be buried with the eldest prince, it must be a conspiracy of Xigong.

    Shen Zhiluo looked at Changgui and sighed: "Before I went to Guanshan, I accompanied His Highness to the West Palace. His Highness said that the little master was never a member of the Yin royal family. When disaster strikes, he doesn't have to bear the calamity of the Yin imperial family, so he took this inscription and took it with him."

     His face sank, and Chang Gui sneered: "You lie, the first prince hates the little master of the West Palace so much—"

    "I hate her so much, and will she protect her well until death?" Interrupting him, Shen Zhiluo sneered, "It has always been your servants who have hatred, he and Yin Huayue is a brother and sister with blood and bones."

    Chang Guiyi choked, and there was a two-pointed fierce light in his eyes.

    Mortals always have their own obsessions and knots, Shen Zhiluo was too lazy to talk to him, he reached out and took the inscription over and wiped it lightly.

    "You have something else in your hand?" he asked.

    "Don't fool around." Shen Zhiluo lowered his eyes and rolled his sleeves.

    Shen Zhiluo rubbed Ming Pei and looked at their backs, his eyes were slightly hostile.

    Light purple pupils froze slightly, Shen Zhiluo lowered his head, took out the paper bag, frowned and looked at the greasy and salty bag.

    How can any girl love to eat this.

    Every time Su Miao encounters something good, whether it is food or something else, she will definitely give him a share. , Xiaozui said a lot, and if it wasn't given in person, it would definitely... Flick open two pieces of pastry with his fingertips, Shen Zhiluo raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, he dug out a note under the pile of things. When I opened it, there were two words on it.

    The bride price.

    The previous bad mood seemed to be taken away by someone, he stared at these words for a long time, and burst out laughing.

    Her betrothal gifts are really varied. The last time she brought him a very delicious cake, and the last time she was given a package of dried wax plums, this time it is also considered a meat dish. , can do the big deal in the dowry.

    Thanks to her.

    He shook his head and sighed, Shen Zhiluo squeezed a piece of fried dough and put it in his mouth.

    ***

    The flowing water banquet at the General's Mansion was held for three days and three nights. Huayue was so tired that she almost fell asleep in the tub, but Li Jingyun carried her out to wipe her body and change her clothes.

    She was a little annoyed, she stretched out her hand to push him in a daze, but he grabbed his hand and said with disgust, "What are your nails looking like?"

    The eyelids are heavy, and Huayue simply closed her eyes and muttered: "Come to cut tomorrow, son don't have to worry about it."

    What are you waiting for tomorrow, Li Jingyun pouted, pinched her fingers and took the scissors, bowed his head and wanted to start.

    As far as I can see, there are two more scars on the slender fingertips, one seems to be pulled by a fine thorn, and the other seems to be cut by a knife, and the scabs are still new.

     His face sank, and he put the scissors: "How did you do this?"

    Hua Yue was about to fall asleep, when he shook her, her eyes opened a slit with difficulty: "Well, I was not careful when I was working."

    Being shivered by him, Huayue opened her eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Just this small mouth, what are you anxious about?"

    "Master is in no hurry." He gritted his teeth and looked for remedies, "Master just can't save face."

    What's the matter with face? Hua Yue looked at the small wound and sighed, "Okay, be careful next time, concubine."

    After saying that, she yawned, hugged the quilt and fell asleep.

    Li Jingyun stared at her angrily for a long time. Seeing that she was really sleepy, she could only snort coldly, pinched her nails to trim them, and then got up and walked out.

    It was said earlier that the servants in the house would have a half-day rest after the flowing water banquet, so Huayue didn't get up early the next day, lazily rubbing against the quilt, letting the sun shine through the stained window Shine on your own face.

    "Little sister-in-law." Su Miao rushed into the door with her skirt in hand, and pounced on her bedside, "Little sister-in-law, why are you still asleep?"

    She opened half of her eyes with difficulty, and she let out a suspicious "Huh?"

    Su Miao smiled: "I got up to watch the fun, my cousin thought that the food in the house was not delicious, so he bought the chef's maid from Zhen Cuisine Pavilion and the servants who beat him. "

    Hua Yue woke up: "What?"

    Su Miao quickly reassured: "I know that the servants in this house are always in charge of the little sister-in-law, but what my cousin did this time was not wrong. Not to mention the dishes, those maids and old women are still stubborn, saying something every day, and my cousin sent them away, and I feel happy."

    Hua Yue got up, washed and cleaned up quickly, sat back in front of Su Miao and frowned: "How can you not get along with the people in the kitchen?"

    "I don't know, the servant said that my cousin got up early and ate half an almond cake, and suddenly got angry."

    I was apprehensive, and Hua Yue's eyes sank.

    She got up and walked to the kitchen, it was really full of new faces, and she saluted when she saw her, very well behaved. But when she wanted to help chop some meat and pick some dishes as usual, the maid in the kitchen seemed to have seen a ghost and asked her to go out again and again.

    Standing outside looking for a long time, and found that Xiao Cai is really gone, Huayue is a little dazed.

    What does Li Jingyun want to do?

     Turning her head, she asked Su Miao, "Where did the third son go?"

    Su Miao smiled and said, "I went to visit Kang Mansion early in the morning."

    Kang Fu? Huayue was puzzled and confused.

    Su Miao immediately explained to her: "Then Mrs. Kang Zhen Zhongkang is my uncle's family friend. He has suffered a lot recently, so my uncle asked my cousin to visit him for his own good. After all, Mr. Kang is now It can also be regarded as an important minister of Liang.”

    "So it is." Hua Yue lowered her eyes, "I don't know anything."

    patted her shoulder in relief, Su Miao said, "What little sister-in-law wants to know, just ask me, I lived in the General's Mansion since I was a child, there is nothing I don't know."

     Eyes lit up, Huayue turned her head and asked her: "Then do you know why your cousin and his wife had such a big rift?"

    Su Miao paused and was a little embarrassed: "I haven't finished speaking yet - there is nothing I don't know, except between my cousin and my aunt."

    "…" Kayue bowed her head in disappointment.

    "Hey, I can say something else, just say this Mr. Kang." Su Miao took her hand and walked out of the kitchen, while walking, "Mr. Kang is also weird, although some people say He and his uncle are brothers who worshipped, but I remember that he didn't have much contact with the general's mansion for so many years, and he only walked around a few times recently."

    Kang Zhenzhong was the one who tried to destroy the Wei people back then, and Li Shoutian had different political views with him. What kind of relationship could the two have? It's just that in recent years, Kang Zhenzhong's power has fallen, and people are getting older, and this has stopped.

    Hua Yue squinted her eyes, still a little distressed about the fact that she couldn't kill this person.

    "I heard from the old lady in the mansion that when I was young, my uncle used to ride horses with Lord Kang from time to time." Su Miao pouted, "It's better for that, last year my uncle was in the courtroom How can you be alone?"

    Huayue listened thoughtfully, and when she saw Frostfall, she asked her to inquire about the relationship between Kang Zhenzhong and the General's Mansion.

    Shuang Jiang said suspiciously: "The secret letter was not sent to Feng Mansion last time, could it be related to this matter?"

    Kang Zhenzhong and the General's Mansion made good friends, so someone secretly prevented them from doing anything to Kang Zhenzhong. This statement is reasonable, but Hua Yue said solemnly: "If this is the case, those who obstruct it will know our identity and purpose."

    Stunned and shivered, Frostfall hurriedly asked people to check.

    Such a strange relationship deserves someone in the general's mansion to protect him?

    Kayue stared at the flowers on the windowsill with a solemn expression, and fell into deep thought.

    In the middle of June, Li Jingyun was personally appointed by His Majesty and took up the post of Daduhu. He inspected the troops of Beijing and China, and inspected the garrisoned troops in various places. .

    This is an incredible job. No matter how strict Li Shoutian was, he couldn’t help but be happy for several days. Stuffed a few full jewelry boxes.

    She was a little uneasy, this was not something she should receive, so she did not dare to touch the dazzling array of phoenix hairpin rings. To watch Su Miao's wedding ceremony, she also wore the jewelry that Li Jingyun gave her earlier.

    Li Jingyun changed his clothes and reached out to get the boots on the Bogu shelf.

    "What are you doing?" She stopped him with a look of alertness.

    Li Jingyun was dumbfounded: "Wear boots, what else can you do?"

    Kayue found him another pair of boots: "Wear this."

    "Why?" He said amusedly, "The boots have been out for almost a month, don't you really want to worship them?"

    "No." Huayue denied it with a serious face, but she just wouldn't let him get it.

      is you."

    Hua Yue looked up at him, obviously disbelieving.

    He lowered his head and pecked her ear temples, he chuckled and coaxed: "When Su Miao gets married, I will take you to a place, and you will be able to walk with these boots."

    This is still nonsense, Huayue stretched out her hand and twisted him, Li Jingyun avoided her with a smile, took the brocade boots over her, put it on and looked at her, reluctantly said: "Well, it's alright ."

    Then went out to find Wen Guzhi and others.

      , did it for half a month and so on.

    Li Jingyun thinks they have never seen the world, they are just boots, why show off?

    Like him, standing in front of this group of people, not saying a word.

    "Third Master." Wen Guzhi looked at him and asked with concern, "Is your right foot injured? You lift it so high."

    "No." He brushed the upper of the shoe lightly, "I just came over, and it's stained with dust."

    Liu Chenghe didn't know why: "Is it possible to wear boots that don't stick to ashes?"

    Xu Changyi also didn't understand what it meant, looked at the pattern of the boots, and said casually, "It's quite ingenious."

    "Where is where." Li Jingyun waved his hand, "Not worth mentioning."

    I said so, but I didn't put my right foot down.

    Wen Guzhi pondered over the taste, his eyebrows moved, and then he smiled: "Little sister-in-law is very skilled, this looks like a lot of effort, why is it not worth mentioning? Third master also Learn to love people."

    When the other two heard it, they admired Imperial Doctor Wen's flexible mind and handed over: "Good boots, good boots!"

    Li Jingyun smiled with satisfaction, Shi Shiran put down her legs, and then turned her head to see the excitement ahead.

    Today is Su Miao's wedding, the scene is very grand and grand, and the dowry is also carried out box after box. Su Miao's parents were both dead, so she only bowed to Li Shoutian and Mrs.

    "You restrain yourself." When sending her out of the house, Li Jingyun whispered, "If you don't know, you should think that the general's house is a fire pit, it will be fun to see you jump out."

    Covered with a red hijab, Su Miao replied in a low voice, "Don't you know what I am happy about, don't play tricks here, you laughed more than me when you got married."

    "That's why I married a good girl."

    "I married a good man!"

    Su Miao was very unconvinced: "Don't run on people all day long, be careful that if I marry, it will become spilled water and help Shen Zhiluo to deal with you."

    Li Jingyun rolled her eyes in disdain.

    When he was about to get on the sedan chair, he looked at the girl and said in a low voice, "If you feel wronged, run to me, it's not your fault."

    A faint "um" came from under the hijab, Su Miao turned around, and took Xi Niang's hand onto the sedan chair.

    Blowing and beating, Shili Hongzhuang went all the way forward, Li Jingyun watched the sedan chair disappear at the end of the road, and then said sideways: "Follow the Lord."

    Huayue was a little lost, and was put on the horse's back by him, and subconsciously grasped the saddle.

    "What are you going to do with this?" The person behind him sat up and hummed, "If you want to catch it, catch it."

    She pouted and whispered, "You like to jump off horses, so I won't catch you."

     Li Jingyun laughed and rode his horse forward.

    "In the beginning, Lord didn't want to get along with you. It's just that the marriage of the Han family can't be decided. Once it is decided, Donggong will turn against the Lord."

    The wind whistled in his ears, and while the horse was galloping, he laughed at her in a low voice: "You too, if you knew you would marry your grandfather, why didn't you join forces with your enemy earlier? It also saved several whips. "

    It's unreasonable, who would have expected so many things to happen later? Hua Crescent Teeth bit him so hard, she stretched her elbow and slapped him.

    The man behind him was in pain and snorted: "You're not familiar with it, don't care how the Lord spoils you, you don't know anything."

    Hua Yue squinted her eyes: "My concubine has clothes and jewelry that I thanked you for."

    "Is that called interest, that is called perfunctory." He was displeased, "In the future, I will not bother to spoil you, anyway, the good ones are not remembered by you, the bad ones are all left to you Remember it."

    The horse galloped to an open field under construction. There were craftsmen carrying civil works everywhere. Li Jingyun pulled her down and hugged her down, motioning her to move forward.

    Huayue remembered, in the bridal chamber night, he said that the sage wanted to build a house for him, and he also used the soil on the Guanshan Mountain.

    Inexplicably, she looked back at him.

    The person in front of her looked calm, as if she was just taking her for a walk, pointed to the wall just in front of him and said, "This is your yard."

    Hua Yue looked over ignorantly and nodded.

    He took her hand and said to her everywhere: "This is the kitchen, this is the backyard, and a fish pond will be built here, and this will be a bathing pavilion."

    The two walked forward step by step in this noisy area, and finally stopped at a house that was repaired the fastest.

    This house is almost finished with beams, and there is an empty pavilion in the middle.

    The custom of Daliang people, the ancestral halls of Buddhist temples will definitely be hidden in the beams of the town in all directions, some put peach wood and yellow talismans, some put jade treasures, and some have a bumpy family background, they will be in the Buddha The relics of ancestors are placed on the top of the beams of the hall, so that the incense can be enjoyed.

    Hua Yue walked over hesitantly, lifted the layers of red cloth, and glanced at the things inside.

    One side of the golden silk nanmu wood carving box was nailed to the ground.

    She stretched out her hand to compare the size of the box, Huayue looked at Li Jingyun in a daze, opened her mouth to ask him something, but she swallowed it again.

    As far as she can see, the man is wearing a red python-patterned robe, standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes are facing her direction, a smile is not a smile.

    "It contains the picture of the Eight Horses that was damaged by you." He said, "Don't look at it."

    If it was really the Eight Horses, why would it be in a box? It's okay if he doesn't say this, but Huayue's nose is sore when he talks about it.

    There is a big box buried in Guanshan, which contains relics wrapped in yellow brocade, and a porcelain white jar. She got the relic back at that time, and was found before she could move the jar. I thought he didn't know anything, and I thought about finding the jar again next year, but now, most of it is in this box.

    The craftsman next to the construction saluted her, picked up the box and climbed up the beam, put it into the beam, and began to seal it.

    Huayue was standing at the bottom, watching the wooden tenons close together, slightly dazed.

    Yin Ru once told her that the Wei and Liang people could not coexist, the hatred of destroying the dynasty, and the hatred of the family, but all Wei people who have experienced it would like to eat the flesh of Liang people. The people of Liang have high self-esteem and disdain to be in the company of slaves who have subjugated the country.

    She looked sideways at the person standing beside her.

    Is this the true face of this Liang person?

      "

    Flower Moon: "…"

    The emotion that had just surged up in her heart disappeared instantly, she squeezed her hands and looked back gracefully, and whispered: "Liangren who don't understand etiquette is really annoying."

    "Master hasn't disliked you Wei people for being overthinking and cumbersome etiquette." He rubbed the back of her neck indiscriminately, and said indifferently, "Let's go, go home for dinner. "

    She frowned and followed, and said stubbornly: "Wei people are polite and thoughtful, how can it be called cumbersome."

    "It's just cumbersome."

    "The barbarians."

    "Master sent you to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to shout this sentence?"

    "...What would you like to eat later? My concubine will be prepared."

    The two walked further and further apart, and the last tile was placed on the beam that was being repaired behind.

    Where the tiles fall, the sun is just right.

    ***

    Before getting married, Shen Zhiluo hadn't slept well for several days, he didn't know what he was panicking about, he was restless and uneasy, even though Zhou He Shuolai comforted him for a long time, saying that as long as he had a good life with him Su Miao lived her life and didn't care about other things, he still couldn't calm down.

    This is a marriage full of interests, with enough pomp and enough guests.

    But in the end, he and Su Miao were the only ones sitting in the bridal chamber.

    The well-behaved grandma said that in the bridal chamber, one should drink wine, tie clothes, and sleep on a cinnamon bed. He forgot that it was Su Miao who took off her hijab, picked up her heavy skirt and sat at the table, complaining incessantly, "But I'm starving to death, I'm not allowed to eat anything all day, this outfit is heavy, I almost passed out in the wedding hall."

    Shen Zhiluo pinched the corner of his clothes, and froze in the air blankly.

    "Hey, there's nobody here, don't stand still, come and eat." She greeted him generously, "This roast chicken is not bad."

    Staring at her for a long time, Shen Zhiluo laughed. How could he think that people like Su Miao wanted to get married properly? In her eyes, this marriage was the way to get her close to him justifiably. It wasn't a deal, and it wasn't a nervous marriage.

    Get up and sit beside her, Shen Zhiluo asked: "You didn't hide anything in your sleeves?"

    "Where to hide, just this dress will kill you." She grinned and stretched out her head, "Help me untie this crown, and this dress."
