A Thousand Hills

Chapter 195

Jiang Xingyun can be said to be like a fish in water in Jingjiang, especially she is good at singing and dancing. There are several kabuki classes in her family, and the one she plays is called a water spirit.

There are beauties in Wu, King Jingjiang hosted a banquet for Jiang Xingyun to watch songs and dances, Jiang Xingyun had a lot of fun, talked and laughed with King Jingjiang, and said, "The taste of the prince is better than that of the princess." This princess, of course, is not the princess of Jingjiang, The face is Xie Moru.

King Jingjiang laughed, "Back then, Sister Ningping didn't like singing and dancing, so it can be seen that the grandparents and grandchildren still look alike."

"It's a pity that we can't appreciate the beauty of singing and dancing." Jiang Xingyun sighed.

"Why not?" King Jingjiang felt the same way.

Jiang Xingyun narrowed his peachy eyes slightly, tapped his knuckles to match the rhythm of the music, and suddenly said, "Wrong." Then he pointed to a musician on his left, and said, "One note was wrong."

The musician's face turned pale immediately, Jiang Xingyun waved his five fingers and made a very free and easy gesture, "Continue."

The music started again.

See, I don't just listen to it casually, I am a real expert.

Jiang Xingyun has a lot of experience in singing and dancing, especially the pipa, and when he talked about music with King Jingjiang, the two of them are completely like Boya meeting Ziqi.King Jingjiang said, "Xingyun, you should have been born in Wu!"

Jiang Xingyun glanced at him, "Wu is the only place in the world where there are songs and dances? The songs and dances in Wu are soft, not as vigorous as those in the North."

"If you want to say that Wu's singing and dancing are soft, then Xingyun, you don't understand Wu's singing and dancing." King Jingjiang took Jiang Xingyun to enjoy a sword dance. A man danced his sword with the music. It's good, with both rigidity and softness.

Jiang Xingyun watched with relish, and smiled, "That's right, it's just that silk and bamboo are not suitable for music, and snare drums should be used."

King Jingjiang laughed, "Xingyun, you are indeed a stranger from the north."

With Jiang Xingyun, a radiant person, here, Zhang Changshi was very low-key and invisible.

Feast on the first day.

On the second day, King Jingjiang invited Jiang Xingyun to tour the garden of his vassal prince's mansion. He was also accompanied by Prince Jingjiang and Prince Jingjiang's third son Mu Sanlang. Well done.Jiang Xingyun said, "Compared with the prince's garden, the garden of my house is a mud pond."

King Jingjiang smiled, "It seems that I can still enter Xingyun's eyes."

Jiang Xingyun whispered, "It's much better than the garden of Prince Min's Mansion."

King Jingjiang laughed, "This king has been in the land of Wu all his life. This garden and house all need people to raise them. After a long time, the garden will gain popularity and aura. Besides, this king is used to idleness. Princess Wang Min is in full bloom, how can she devote her mind to this garden and house?"

Jiang Xingyun didn't take it seriously, and spread his hands, "Where, his palace was in a hurry, and he was poor at that time, so he had to keep it simple."

Mu Sanlang, the third son of King Jingjiang, said, "I heard that King Min is His Majesty's beloved son, no matter what, the local officials dare not detain him from the feudal prince's mansion."

Mu Sanlang is rumored to be the most beloved son of King Jingjiang. His appearance is quite similar to that of King Jingjiang.Jiang Xingyun has always been more polite to beautiful men, she said, "It's not that anyone dares to detain the King of Fujian, it's just that the Marquis of Yongding was defeated the year before last, and when the King of Fujian came to the fief, a lot of waste was waiting to be built, so he didn't have the heart to build a large building, so he just built it casually." Jian, let’s make do with it.”

Jingjiang King Nianxu sighed, "It can be seen that His Majesty teaches children well."

The son also said, "The king of Min is worthy of the name of a virtuous king."

Strolling past a clump of blooming roses, Jiang Xingyun smiled and said, "Yes."

The two of them talked about Xie Moru, and King Jingjiang sat in a Shejiang pavilion, and his entourage brought fragrant tea and snacks, and sighed, "It's really more timid to be close to the hometown. I knew that child a long time ago, and I also I often inquire about her, but I don’t know if she is doing well or not. Knowing Xingyun, you are close to her, and you can ask in front of others, but it’s not easy to open your mouth when you are in front of you.”

"There's nothing wrong with that. The princess often talks about the prince."

"In the child's heart, I'm afraid he doubts me."

Jiang Xingyun didn't sit down, but was still standing upright with a long body. Some damp summer wind blew over her forehead, and she said, "It's instinct to believe in killing each other and getting close to each other. Why does the prince sigh."

Hearing these words, Prince Jingjiang and Mu Sanlang's expressions remained unchanged, but they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.Only King Jingjiang smiled, "Xingyun, you are too straightforward."

"Yeah, I don't have many advantages, and being straightforward is one of them." Jiang Xingyun turned around and sat beside King Jingjiang, and said, "What's more, in the prince's territory, there are nine bends and eighteen bends, wouldn't it make the prince unhappy?"

Jing Jiang smiled again, and said, "Girls nowadays are so powerful."

"I'm not that good yet."

"I told you, I want to see you more and more." King Jingjiang said in a friendly tone, as if he was talking about his own granddaughter.

"The concubine also really wants to meet the prince, but there are so many affairs in Fujian that I don't have time to spare."

Jingjiang Wang said, "I really didn't expect that His Majesty would entrust the five princes to Fujian. Not to mention the remoteness of Fujian, the place is also barren. Even the climate, I am afraid that those who come to Fujian for the first time will not be used to living in Fujian."

"What's so strange about this is that although the fifth prince is His Majesty's own son, many people don't like the princess. Not to mention others, it is the prince's own sister, Princess Ning Rong, who Cheng Tianjie said that the princess was carved out of the same mold as Princess Fusheng , They can only be a ghost if they can seal a good place. If this is true, just talk about it, it’s obviously not like it at all, and the eldest princess can’t stop talking about it.”

King Jingjiang laughed at what he said, "Ning Rong has always been like this, she just didn't get any advantage."

"Actually, why should Princess Ningrong talk so much? If she doesn't say anything, no one in the court knows the princess's background. It's rare that Princess Ningrong has such an in-law's family that guarantees income from droughts and floods, and has such an outstanding son as Marquis of Nan'an. How could His Majesty know that?" Open your eyes and close your eyes, the Eldest Princess is good, all day long she thinks about how to make our princess unlucky, what is she trying to do." This thing is really not smart, Jiang Xingyun can't figure it out.

King Jingjiang also asked Jiang Xingyun to stop him. King Jingjiang didn't know what his sister was trying to do. King Jingjiang took a sip of tea and said, "A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. These are so-so, so it's hard to guess."

"I used to think it was the eldest princess ordered by the prince." Jiang Xingyun's words made King Jingjiang choke. King Jingjiang coughed twice, and Jiang Xingyun smiled, "However, seeing the prince and knowing the character of the prince, I can't believe it. Not so."

Prince Jingjiang laughed angrily, "I told you to finish all the good words."

"I was thinking, my lord, please try to persuade the eldest princess. She is already at this age, and even if the previous generation is a bit unresponsive, I can't blame the princess here. Besides, the eldest princess is really confused, I don't know. What grievances do she have with Princess Fusheng, just think about it, what she was like when Princess Fusheng was here, and what she is like now, she shouldn't be a hindrance to the princess."

What Jiang Xingyun said was sincere, and King Jingjiang was quite touched when he heard the last sentence. It would be a lie to say that he did not hate Princess Fusheng, but what political status was he when Princess Fusheng was in power, and what is his political status now? King Jingjiang understood very well.Therefore, Princess Fusheng is alive, but King Jingjiang hates her; Princess Fusheng is dead, but King Jingjiang misses her.

This kind of contradictory feeling made King Jingjiang say something, "Back then, after His Majesty took power, I ordered people to go to the imperial capital to persuade Sister Ning Ping to avoid it earlier. If she would listen, she would not die so early. "

Jiang Xingyun believes that this is what King Jingjiang said from the bottom of his heart. No matter from his selfish or political standpoint, King Jingjiang will not be willing to die early for Princess Fusheng.Jiang Xingyun said, "How can the general leave the battlefield?"

Jingjiang Wang said, "You young people would think so. But if it is a relative who is connected by blood, no matter how painful or difficult it is, you only want her to live."

"That's right." Jiang Xingyun seemed to have a different feeling about these words, which is not surprising. King Jingjiang just died of a half-sister, and there are many other relatives.She is the only one left in Jiang Xingyun's entire family.

Jiang Xingyun said, "Just like many people are afraid of death, in fact death is the easiest. In this world, living is far more difficult than dying."

Jingjiang said kingly, "You child can see through."

Jiang Xingyun smiled suddenly, "I didn't say that, it was the princess who said it. It's rare for the prince to send someone to deliver the funeral ceremony every year on Madam Wei's memorial day."

"What's the matter, Wei Guo is my niece." King Jingjiang said with emotion, "There is nothing left of Sister Ningping's descendants."

King Jingjiang and Jiang Xingyun are not like political enemies. On the contrary, they have some similar hobbies, and they speak much more intimately than ordinary people. They don't have the slightest breath of fire at all.The two were talking and laughing, but those who didn't know thought it was a year-end friendship.

Mu Sanlang smiled, "Miss Jiang is destined to be the king of the father, it is better to live in the palace of the feudal prince."

Jiang Xingyun was not happy, and said, "The palace of the feudal prince has strict rules, and it is troublesome to go in and out. The post house is very good. I still want to take a stroll in Jingjiang."

According to Mu Sanlang's status, even if others refused him, he had to be tactful. Jiang Xingyun said it directly, but Mu Sanlang was very self-restraining, and smiled, "Then follow Miss Jiang. If Miss Jiang needs a guide, just ask the post station officials. "After such a short time together, Mu Sanlang felt Jiang Xingyun's temper. This is not a woman who likes others to make decisions for her.

Jiang Xingyun nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Xingyun also sent the officials of the post office to inform Governor Wu, and when Governor Wu came, Jiang Xingyun handed Wu's family letter to Governor Wu, and at the same time handed over the Dragon Boat Festival gift that Wu had prepared to Governor Wu. The governor thanked Jiang Xingyun for bringing the letter, and said, "I know that my niece is getting married in the first month of this year, and I am far away, so I can't go back to the imperial capital without purpose. Now she has come to Fujian to reunite with her niece and son-in-law, which is very good." Originally, it was Governor Wu I won the Xie family, I don't want my daughter to be unlucky, but the Xie family is kind, Xie Zhi even guarded her daughter for a year, such a family, the niece is married, Governor Wu is also willing.

Jiang Xingyun smiled, "Grandma Xie is such a wonderful person. If a noble girl from another family in the imperial capital hears that Fujian is a barbaric land, she probably won't come here. A noble girl like Grandma would come to serve the uncle as soon as she gets married. You are really virtuous and virtuous, and the family education in your house is admirable."

"Ms. Jiang has won the award." Although Jiang Xingyun has no official or job, Governor Wu is not a fool. Knowing that Jiang Xingyun and Xie Moru have a good relationship, this time coming here has more meaning, so he is quite polite. Governor Wu said, "One thing is this. The duty of being a wife, two things, even princes and concubines can come to Fujian, why can't Wu's daughter come. It's just that my niece is still young, so I ask the concubine to give her more advice."

Jiang Xingyun said, "The princess and the grandma want a sister-in-law. The grandma will help the princess to share some of the burden. The princess must have an arm when she organizes the building of a library, or distributes porridge and medicine. Although the grandma is young , doing things really meticulously, the princess likes such a smart and capable person."

Governor Wu also said that it was a great honor for his niece to help the princess. Of course, he did not forget to praise the princess for her public welfare undertakings.

Then, Jiang Xingyun talked to Governor Wu about Prince Jingjiang and Mu Sanlang, and Jiang Xingyun said, "Today, I am visiting the garden with the prince, and only the prince and the third son are with us. The third son is quite favored by the prince, right?"

Governor Wu glanced out of the window. Jiang Xingyun was originally sitting on a fragrant sandalwood couch against the wall. At this moment, he got up gracefully, and gently pressed his palm on the big couch. " with a soft sound, and then the wooden couch collapsed in an instant, turning into powder in an instant, and then a row of sound transmission steel pipes were exposed.Jiang Xingyun flicked his fingers on the steel pipe, and there was a clear buzzing sound, Jiang Xingyun stopped drinking, "Get away!"

Throughout the room, Jiang Xingyun found six or seven wiretapping devices, then dismantled the room to pieces, and continued to talk to Governor Wu.

Governor Wu Khan came out.

Jiang Xingyun smiled slightly, pulled up a chair and sat down, and continued the topic just now, "Master Wu, don't worry."

Governor Wu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said, "Princess Jingjiang passed away early, the third son's biological mother, Side Concubine Qiu, is very much loved by King Jingjiang, and the third princess is also very much loved by Jingjiang."

"My concubine, if it is convenient, let the prince of Jingjiang feel the goodwill of the court. He is the son of the imperial court, and the seat of the prince of Jingjiang is the court's final decision." Jiang Xingyun said, "Master Wu, just rest assured, you I will guarantee your safety."

Governor Wu knew what to do.

On the second day, Jiang Xingyun personally said about the wiretapping in front of King Jingjiang. In front of King Jingjiang, Jiang Xingyun sneered coldly, "The lord still keeps such unusable people. I'm not afraid of being Eavesdropping, but the method is not in class, it is really disturbing."

King Jingjiang is worthy of his age, and his face is really enough. King Jingjiang laughed, "Okay, I will make them reform later, and you must not let Xingyun find out." He even asked, "Is it okay to say good things? Reciting people, Xingyun, you whispered something to Mr. Wu, and this king is not allowed to know."

No matter how angry Jiang Xingyun met someone like King Jingjiang, it was useless, so she smiled, took a sip of the new tea from the thin-bodied porcelain cup in the official kiln, and said, "I didn't say anything, I just listened I don't care if you say that the prince favors the concubine and destroys the concubine, but you don't know, our concubine values ​​the rules of the concubine most. Don't be confused. The son was conferred by the imperial court, and his status cannot be shaken."

King Jingjiang said, "Look, your concubine just loves to worry, and even worried about coming to this king." Although King Jingjiang didn't show a cold face, anyone could hear the displeasure and dissatisfaction in his words.

Jiang Xingyun didn't show any fear, and said, "Our princess is not willing to worry about this. What kind of grudge does she have with the prince? How are you, prince? Could it be harmful to our princess? Now the King of Fujian Navy is no longer planning to build it. Could it be that the lord thinks that we are looking forward to your downfall? Don't get me wrong, with you always around, no one will think that our princess is the posthumous saint." Jiang Xingyun glanced at King Jingjiang with a smile, and put it down gently. Chazhan said bluntly, "My lord, please take care, you think our princess is worried about your Jingjiang affairs, don't you always worry about our Fujian affairs. I'm afraid it's about the imperial capital, you don't worry less."

King Jingjiang smiled slightly, "Yes, we are all people who love to worry."
