Chapter 126:

Qin Jiao got up from the beauty couch, hugged his neck with both hands from behind, leaned his chin on his right shoulder, put all the weight on his back, and leaned over to read the letter curiously.
She glanced at it in a glance. This letter was supposed to be a letter that Fang Yuande and Gu Chenzhi had reached an agreement and sent someone to send them back to Yuzhou to the King of Yu. However, the letter was intercepted by Gu Zezhi halfway through. .
Also, Fang Yuande's people were "cut off", let alone a letter. Qin Jiu said in his heart.
Gu Zezhi stared at the letter paper intently for a while, then suddenly said, "Hold it."
Qin Jiao: "..."
Qin Jui hadn't reacted yet, he had already picked her up, walked to the book case, and started to add water to the inkstone.
Qin Jiu felt that the test of maintaining this koala posture was not Gu Zezhi, but her own arm and leg strength, and jumped off his back.
She took the ink stick happily, "I'll add fragrance to your red sleeves."
She said happily, rubbing his ink.
She just looked at Gu Zezhi, imitated Fang Yuande's handwriting, and wrote another letter.
Qin Jiao was dumbfounded, and compared the handwriting of the two letters back and forth, feeling like ninety-nine percent. If she had watched Gu Zezhi wrote it with her own eyes, she could not see that the two letters came from two. Human hand pen.
My own golden thighs are too versatile, even handwriting can imitate.
It is estimated that even if people like Jin Thigh are down, they will not die of starvation, and somehow they can sell their words for a living.
Imagining Gu Zezhi setting up a stall to sell characters, Qin Jiao couldn't help but smirked, enjoying himself.
After Gu Zezhi received the pen, Qin Jiu looked at it curiously by helping him dry the ink.
The content of this letter is similar to the original letter written by Fang Yuande. Generally speaking, Wang Shizi agreed to cooperate with the Prince Yu’s Mansion. However, at the end of the letter, another article was added in Fang Yuande’s tone. For fear that the king of Yu would unload the moss and kill the donkey, he would leave himself in Luo'an City, and the king of Duan sent his cronies to Yuzhou to wait for the instructions of the king. .
Gu Zezhi took out Fang Yuande's seal and stamped it on the lower left corner of the letter paper. After it was dried, he slowly put it in the envelope.
Qin Jiao: "?"
Qin Jiao was already completely sleepy, and looked at Gu Zezhi with an expression that couldn't say anything.
He is so dark!
Gu Zezhi understood her eyes.
His response was to copy her up, strode to the Babu bed, with her thin lips pressed against her jade-white and snowy ears, nibbling on her earlobe, and whispered: "Jin Zhu The red."
The next four words naturally appeared in Qin Jiu's mind: Black is near the ink.
Even if he is black, even her is black!
Qin Jiao stared at him, and when he sat on the side of the bed with her in his arms, she also leaned in angrily and bit him.
It's just that he bit his lip.
He fell back and was pressed down by her, and then his right palm pressed against the back of her head, deepening the kiss.
Between the ears and temples, his burning breath was on her lips, and he whispered: "That book is not for free."
that book? ! Qin Zhuo was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when she flipped through the book "Jing Chunhua" during the day, when he was caught upright, the picture on that page seemed to be...
Facts have proved that Gu Zezhi's imitating ability is indeed very strong, not only imitating handwriting...
The tired Qin Jiu slept soundly all night. When she opened her eyes, the sky was bright and the pillow was empty, and even the bedding was cold.
Qin Jiu blinked and woke up completely.
She looked around the room and was sure that Gu Zezhi was not there, not only him, but also the letter.
Originally, she could continue to sleep, but she didn't have to please anyone.
However, she was afraid that Gu Zezhi would come back to find her to continue studying the "Jing Chunhua", endure the soreness of her body, get up to take a shower, freshen up and change clothes as quickly as possible.
When Gu Zezhi returned from morning exercises, she saw her sitting by the window and flipping through her notebook, raising her eyebrows with a smile, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Qin Jiao: "..."
She felt that this question seemed to be answered incorrectly, and she waved at him, "Play backgammon with me."
Gu Zezhi walked over, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many sons do you want?"
Qin Jiu first compared to him, but in the next instant, he added another finger dingy.
Lest you lose too fast. She is very self-aware and honest.
The two played backgammon once or not, chatting and eating snacks, and they were very happy.
Qin Jiu couldn't guess that the progress of this dungeon should have passed halfway, and they estimated that it would not be long before they could return to Beijing.
With this, Qin Jiu lost three sets in a row and sighed again.
She felt that Gu Zezhi would not be able to marry a wife without the emperor grant him a marriage!
Just when she hesitated to play the fourth game, Mother Liu came in with Du Ruo and said, "Mrs. Third, the concubine, please come over."
After a pause, she added: "The wives of some generals under the command of the prince are here today and want to please the third wife. They are now in the Jiuyin Tower."
The Jiuyin Tower is a theatre building in the palace. It was built because Mrs. Xiao liked to listen to operas in the past. In the past, Mrs. Xiao would occasionally entertain guests to listen to operas. This troupe in Luo'an was proud of it.
Qin Zhuo felt that instead of greeting some strangers, he might as well let Gu Zezhi hang on the chessboard and beat her here. Losing or losing, her chess skills have also improved, and now Du Ruo is no longer her opponent!
No, Gu Zezhi smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, it's rare to come here, so you can go and play."
Qin Jiao understood it in seconds.
Since you are going to meet guests, you can't dress so casually.
Qin Jiu wanted to be lazy, so he didn't change the pleated skirt. He put on a green lotus-colored butterfly wearing a flower-carved silk twill, and added a red gold flying swallow inlaid with eight treasure hairpins between the temples, picked by Gu Zezhi himself. , And apply a little bit of mouth fat, and the whole person becomes radiant.
Then, in the stunned eyes of the maids, she lightly picked Gu Zezhi's chin with her fingers.
"Wait for me obediently."
After speaking, she took Du Ruo and Mother Liu to leave Zhaohui Garden and went to the Jiuyin Tower in the outer courtyard.
When Qin Jiu entered the Jiuyin Tower, before the play started, he saw those old ladies and young ladies crowded around the concubine, like stars arching over the moon. Everywhere he looked at, there was a jewel on everyone's face. They are all written with the word "rich and honorable".
A slightly sharp female voice pierced Qin Jiu's ear: "Shi Zifei, your sachet is really delicate, I don't know where it was made?"
Qin Jiu raised his eyes and saw a forty-something lady in blue who was playing with a gilt sachet the size of a baby's fist.
"Sister Wang, do you want to make one too?" Another younger female voice smiled, "Don't even think about it. This sachet comes from Persia and was given to the concubine by the elder son. Only this one."
Mrs. Lan Yi held it in her hand and looked at it again. Then she returned the gilt sachet to the concubine, and said with envy: "The concubine is so kind to the concubine, and the concubine is a blessing."
Concubine Shi Zi took the sachet and smiled slightly, with a trace of contentment in her eyes.
This open-carved spherical sachet is extremely delicate, composed of upper and lower hemispheres. It is also embedded with rubies the size of rice grains. The craftsmanship is incredibly exquisite and complicated. Spices are burned in the ball and distributed through the hollow flower-shaped ornaments. There was a faint fragrance.
The concubine Shi Zi grasped the gold chain on the gilt sachet in her hand, let the spherical sachet sway back and forth with the chain in mid-air, and smiled: "This sachet is really rare, it's a bit ingenious."
"Look, no matter how you roll it, the burning spices inside will not pour, let alone spill out. The Persian merchants said that this sachet can be placed in the bedding or carried on the body, and the aroma will be natural when you walk around. Floating, dark fragrance filled sleeves."
The words of the concubine of the eldest son drew another envy from the women one after another.
"This sachet is in the entire Western Xinjiang. No, the whole Daqi is unique!"
"That is, the concubine is worthy of such rare and precious things."
"That is, that is..."
At this moment, someone whispered in the ear of the concubine Shi Zi, and the concubine Shi Zi handed the sachet to the maid beside her, "Keep it for me..."
She loosened the gold chain, and the gilt sachet fell down. However, the maid let out a nervous cry, and saw the gilt sachet rubbed by her hand and fell to the ground. Qin Jiu's direction rolled over...
Several ladies took a breath and whispered, for fear that the precious sachet would be broken.
Only the concubine's smile was gentle and calm, "Well, you see, as I said, no matter how you roll, the spice will not spill out."
With that, the concubine Shi Zi looked at Qin Jiao who was a few steps away, smiled deeper, and said, "Three younger siblings, I slipped my hand just now, please help me pick up the sachet."
Concubine Shi Zi said casually, as if just asking Qin Jiao for a small favor.
There was a moment of silence around.
None of the ladies present were stupid, and immediately heard the provocation from the words of the concubine.
The talented concubine also instructed the maid to collect the sachet for her, and now let the princess bend over to pick up the sachet for her. Isn't that the intention to humiliate Gu Zezhi's newlywed wife and treat her as a maid?
I heard that the elder son Gu Chenzhi was at odds with the son of the princess Gu Zezhi, but now it seems that it is so!
Although they all saw that the birth of the concubine was deliberate, they knew that Gui knew, but no one said anything.
Since the death of the princess and the royal concubine of Duan, this noblewoman of Manxi Xinjiang respected the concubine, after all, the concubine is the future concubine.
Therefore, these ladies also hold the attitude of watching good shows, either serving tea cups, or eating snacks, or whispering, all wanting to see how Qin Jiu will respond.
Qin Jiu looked at the concubine Shizi with a full smile, and smiled brighter and brighter. At the time of Fanghua, she only needs a smile to make up her face, just like a lotus blooming in full bloom, beautiful and dazzling.
She walked forward briskly, without stopping, and stepped directly on the gilt sachet.
"Crack—"
That gilt gilt carved and ruby ​​sachet was as delicate as a delicate flower. Qin Jiu stepped on it with a casual foot, and it was instantly crushed.
But in an instant, the treasure that was originally worth a thousand gold was ruined, and even the large rubies embedded on it were covered in dust and dull.
Concubine Shizi watched as her baby was destroyed.
With that foot, even her heart seemed to be crushed.
The surroundings are silent.
The ladies in the building almost held their breath.
Everyone could see that this was Qin Jiu's counterattack to the concubine, simple and rude, but also expressing a kind of delight in two or two strokes!
No one would have thought that the newly entering Mrs. Gu San looked at the delicate and fragile, before uttering a word, she slapped the concubine in front of everyone.
Arrogant, really arrogant!
The ladies all looked at Qin Jiao in amazement.
In the scorching eyes of everyone, Qin Jiu calmly walked toward the concubine, without even looking at the sachet that was trampled on.
She has a straight posture, her steps are light and sassy, ​​and her posture is graceful but generous.
Several older ladies looked at Qin Jiao, with some emotions in their hearts: This third lady is very different from the concubine of the world, and he will surely please the princess. However, the emperor and courtier of this dynasty, the princess is no longer in the palace...
Du Ruo followed closely behind Qin Jiao like a shadow, and then stepped heavily on the sachet.
"Concubine Shi Zi." Qin Jiao smiled faintly at Concubine Shi Zi, and nodded, even if she said hello and met with a gift, then she just sat down in the place reserved for her.
Qin Jiao didn't seem to notice the subtle atmosphere around him at all, and asked with a smile, "Earth concubine, what were you talking about just now?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Concubine Shizi's face was pale, and her whole body was trembling slightly with heartache.
This sachet was brought by a Persian businessman from thousands of miles away. It was only an exaggeration to say that it was invaluable. She only took it for two days, and it was ruined by Qin Jiu!
The maids of the palace were silent, and didn't even know whether they should pick up the trampled sachet.
Several ladies exchanged glances quickly.
They all know that the concubine's temperament always compares favorably. She has suffered such a big loss, how can she take a break!
For them, this is a great opportunity to show good wishes to the concubine.
"Oh!" The lady in blue covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Mrs. San, this sachet is very valuable. Why did you step on it?"
Qin Jiao drank tea with a smile, ignoring her.
Another lady in Cuiyi sang with the lady in blue and echoed: "Yes, the concubine is just asking the third lady to pick up the sachet. It's all about the third lady not willing to pick it up, how can it ruin people's hearts? How good is it?"
The more she talked, the more she was filled with righteous indignation, as if Qin Jiao had just stepped on the sachet and was narrow-minded and heinous.
The two ladies looked at Qin Jiu provocatively, and of course they knew that this would offend Qin Jiu. But so what? Qin Jiu will leave Luo'an City with the third son of Gu sooner or later, and the wives of Xijiang still respect the concubine.
Only after they put down Qin Jiu's face, can they please the concubine of the world and let the concubine of the world read their favor.
Qin Jiu picked up a longan-sized loquat from the fruit plate and played with it.
Then, the hand "accidentally" shook, the orange loquat dropped out of her hand, and rolled from her feet to the feet of the concubine Shi Zi.
Qin Jiu looked at Concubine Shizi with a smile, and said, "Concubine Shizi, I slipped my hand just now. Could you help me pick up the loquat."
Her expression, tone and use of words are exactly the same as those of the concubine just now, except that the word "sachet" has been replaced with "loquat".
The whole hall was even more shocked. Everyone looked at Qin Jiu and the concubine, silent.
Everyone knows that the imperial concubine just now deliberately hit Qin Jiao in the face.
What they never expected was that Qin Jiao didn't even change his skills, and went back in the same way. Wei was too arrogant, and he clearly didn't put the eldest concubine in his eyes.
The expression on Concubine Shizi's face was a bit stiff, and her heart was even more embarrassed. She felt like she was being roasted on a fire, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while.
Qin Jiao was clearly provoking himself, but the question is, how should he respond? !
If you ignore it, you will lose Qin Jiao;
If I let my subordinates pick it up, it means I have obeyed Qin Jiu's mercy, and I still fall behind;
But if you smashed the loquat, that would be to learn from Qin Zhuo, and her shoes will be stained with the flesh and juice of the loquat, making it embarrassing, wouldn't it be a joke! !
The concubine's eyes grew darker and darker, and her heart surged.
When she married into the palace, the elder son was not the elder son. At that time, she was only the daughter of a fourth-grade official family. She spent one year in the palace before the prince asked him to seal the son. End the prince and concubine.
She is also the most noble woman in this palace apart from the princess.
Now that the princess is gone, she is the mistress of this palace and respects her.
How could she tolerate someone pressing on top of her head and flaunt her!
The concubine's hands on her knees were hidden in her sleeves, her nails were pinched into her tender palms, and she furiously asked: "Three younger brothers and sisters, what do you mean?"
Qin Jiu was still smiling like a flower, which formed a sharp contrast with her anger.
Qin Jiu smiled and said, "What do you mean by the concubine, what do I mean."
"The concubine Shizi don't even understand this?"
With that, she smiled brighter, and said badly: "Should the concubine of the world pick it up or not?"
"..." Concubine Shizi's face was even more ugly, she was almost vomiting blood with anger. She had never seen such an arrogant person for granted.
The expressions of the other ladies present were more subtle, and no one could see that the imperial concubine was suppressed by Qin Jiu.
Naturally, someone wanted to show her face in front of the concubine, the lady in blue said again: "Mrs. San, it is too unruly, the eldest sister is like a mother, you are really disrespectful to call the concubine to pick up fruit for you! "
Qin Jiao showed a suddenly enlightened expression, and said with his palms: "Behave well."
Upon hearing this, the lady in blue made a grand-sounding look, straightened her chest, and was about to train again, when she heard the sound of "pop", which was crisp and loud.
Qin Jiu slapped his hand heavily on the coffee table, so that the tea cup on the coffee table was shocked.
Qin Jiao held up his small chin, tried to make a proud gesture, and rebuked, "Bold!"
"My dignified princess is sitting here, why don't you all know how to salute me?!"
"No rules, no rules!!"
"..."
After a brief silence, all the ladies except the concubine stood up.
Qin Jiu made a reasonable point. They should have bowed to her, but because Qin Jiu entered the door, the concubine wanted to give her a slap in the face. The pair of concubines fought tit-for-tat and sparked so much that they all forgot the etiquette. Up.
"I have seen the princess of the county." Everyone bowed their knees to Qin Jiu respectfully.
At first glance, they bend their knees as if they all fell to Qin Jiu.
Madam Liu looked from behind, sighing in her heart: Originally, she was afraid that the third wife would be too young and would suffer in the presence of so many ladies, or she underestimated the young third wife.
Also, San Ye has always had a good idea, and he was confident that he dared to let the third wife come out to socialize alone.
Qin Jiao Luoluo said generously, "Exemption", and then looked at the concubine who was above her head, and said with a smile: "Concubine, can you pick up a loquat for me?"
Concubine: "!!!"
How could Qin Jiu remember this?
Wild girl, she is really a wild girl, bad and wild!
At this moment, the imperial concubine regretted calling Qin Jiao.
She just wanted to suppress Qin Jiao in public, but she didn't expect to make a fuss. What's more, she didn't expect that in front of so many outsiders, Qin Jiao would make a fuss with no regard for her face.
Concubine, no, isn't the Xiao family boasting that she knows the rules best? She is not afraid to lose face when she finds such an unruly daughter-in-law! !
"..." The concubine Shizi sat there stiffly, speechless.
The other wives had just been killed by Qin Jiu, so they didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that the atmosphere froze, a maid holding the play book, bit her head and asked, "Earth concubine, the Cheng family is ready, do you want to start the play?"
Concubine Shizi's face was slightly calm, and she agreed, and she began to watch the drama.
She clicked on the play first, followed the play book and passed it to the second wife.
The playbooks were passed down according to their status. After passing through the hands of the female family members of the palace, they were delivered to the ladies invited today. At the same time, the stage was pulsing the drums, and several actors with heavy makeup appeared on the stage slowly. Dragging a long tune to sing on the stage.
The stage was singing a show of literary crepe, Qin Jiao yawned, so he simply focused on eating, eating a piece of crispy creamy pineapple cake, and a bite of the white water chestnut cake. After a while, drink two more freshly squeezed sherbet.
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, no one dared to talk to Qin Jiu, neither could they afford to offend her, nor did they dare to interact with her, after all, the concubine was still by her side.
Qin Jiu eats with gusto, leisurely, and doesn't mind being left out.
Qin Jiu and his concubine did not speak, and other people did not dare to speak casually, for fear that it would stand out from the crowd, and it would be too attractive. So, in the theater, there were only the singing and string music of the actors, and the guests were all "attentive." "Looking at the play.
When the third fold was sung on the stage, the concubine Shizi smiled and talked to Qin Jiao: "Three younger brothers and sisters, the next fold is your order."
Qin Jiao: "Oh."
"Mulan Joins the Army" was sang lively on the stage, but there was only an awkward silence under the stage.
The ladies seemed to be watching the show, but the corner of their eyes was actually paying attention to Qin Jiu and the concubine.
After a while, the concubine said again: "It turns out that the three younger siblings like "Mulan Joining the Army" as much as I do."
Qin Jiao: "Oh."
The ladies looked at the concubine Shizi and seemed to be deliberately talking with Qin Jiu, feeling a little surprised, and continued to wait and see.
Seeing that Qin Jiu had been using "oh" to perfuse herself, the concubine Shizi simply changed her way of speaking and asked: "Three younger brothers and sisters, I heard that the opera troupe in Beijing is good. I wonder which is better than the Cheng family troupe?"
"..." Qin Jiao looked at the concubine Shizi with a smile, and blinked.
In the next instant, she became wronged.
She pretended to be pitiful, already very skilled.
One look and one biting lip are just right.
Eyes flowed, pitiful.
Seeing that make people feel pity, but the concubine Shi Zi shook her heart.
It's not the first time that the concubine of the world loves Qin Jiao.
really--
"Shizi concubine, I am not in the mood to watch a play. My loquat is gone, and Shizi concubine won't help me either..."
Concubine: "!!!"
The lady in blue watched the concubine Shizi not coming to the stage, and quickly relieved her. She personally went to the concubine Shizi, picked up the loquat that had been on the ground for a long time, and personally sent it to Qin Jiu.
"Mrs. San, your loquat." She had trained Qin Jiao clearly before, but now she didn't have any embarrassment on her face.
Qin Jiao just looked at her with a smile, but didn't answer.
Mrs. Blue could only put the loquat on the coffee table next to Qin Jiao.
"It's a pity." Qin Jiao glanced at the chubby loquat and sighed vaguely.
At this time, the "Mulan Joining the Army" on the stage was finished, and Qin Jiu stood up in the eyes of everyone, "The concubine of the world, be out of company."
After speaking, she walked away swaggeringly, and deliberately glanced at the sachet that she had trampled on the ground.
